When all companies were willing to formulate a code of conduct within the industry, accept its constraints, and at the same time be willing to take practical actions to defend it from infringement, Li Mu followed suit and proposed the idea of establishing the China Internet Industry Association.
At the charity night, the consensus reached by everyone was a verbal agreement, but after all, it was related to the development of an industry, so it was just a verbal agreement, and the binding force between each other was not strong enough. That's why Li Mu wanted to establish an industry association. , in this way, the rules can be written down and promoted in the name of the association, and the implementation of all practitioners can be monitored.
Everyone present accepted the precautionary awareness that Li Mu instilled in them. The Internet industry is the foundation for everyone's survival. Whether it is for themselves or for the entire industry, the occasional black sheep in this industry must be severely punished. , leaving these black sheep no room for development. Only in this way can we best protect the interests of the industry and ourselves.
So based on this, everyone supports the establishment of an industry association.
Li Mu immediately announced that the association will follow the principles of fairness, justice and openness. All heads of Internet companies participating in the meeting will become members of the association. At the same time, the founders, major shareholders or CEOs of the top ten companies by market value will be selected as the association. The directors of the association are replaced every two years. Each replacement is based on the latest market value ranking at that time. Directors who meet the conditions can serve repeatedly.
The association's rules will be formulated by ten directors who will jointly propose a draft, and then all members will vote on the content of the draft item by item. Articles with a vote rate of more than 51% will become the official content of the association's rules and regulations. If the vote rate is less than 51%, Not accepted yet.
In addition, the directors have the right to propose new terms. The new terms need to be confirmed and approved by at least six directors before they can be released to all members of the association and enter the voting process. If more than 51%, they can be formally adopted;
Business rules are not laws, but they are exactly the same as laws. Therefore, to establish business rules, one must have a rigorous attitude like government legislation. Li Mu’s purpose is to put forward the concept of business rules and let everyone accept them. As for the specific content of the business rules, he does not want to be alone. It is more appropriate to be a dictatorship or to let the whole industry make a joint decision.
In addition to clarifying matters related to industry associations, the second gain from this charity night was donations from more than 300 Internet companies.
Excluding the 100 million yuan jointly donated by Baidu, Sina and other companies, the remaining corporate donations totaled 150 million yuan.
At this time, the donation boom that lasted for several days gradually cooled down. The total amount of funds raised by the Veterans' Immortal Charitable Foundation from the society has exceeded the 4 billion yuan mark. Next, the mission of the foundation is no longer to absorb donations, but how to Spend these donations in the most appropriate and appropriate places.
…
The day after the charity night, Li Mu, Liu Xinxin and the entire staff of the Veterans Immortal Charity Foundation in Spring City went to the airport to see off the veteran Flying Tigers from the United States.
Li Mu did not notify the media, but since Air China's shark-mouth Boeing 747 has become famous throughout the country after that press conference, its every move cannot escape the eyes of the public and the media.
The Air China Boeing 747 arrived in Spring City from Yanjing the night before. The moment the 747 was rolled out of the Air China Yanjing Airport hangar, the outside world already knew the information about this "well-known" passenger plane. About to fly to Spring City.
This aircraft has been serving the Veterans Immortality Charitable Foundation since it changed its livery, so as soon as it moves, the public will know that it is going to perform flying missions for veterans. Both this aircraft and the veterans are currently popular. It is a news topic, so media reporters pay special attention to it.
Almost every media has its own way of obtaining information. Therefore, as soon as the Air China Shark Mouth 747 moved the night before, the media followed the clues to find out the flight mission of this plane. When they found out that it would take off from Spring City to Los Angeles in the United States the next day, At that time, everyone realized that they were sending the old Flying Tigers back to the United States.
When this plane arrived in China carrying more than 20 veteran American Flying Tigers, the Chinese side gave them great courtesy and respect. After the scene was revealed by Li Mu, it infected the national audience, so this time , media reporters swarmed to Spring City Airport, preparing to take pictures of the plane as it took off and departed.
This time, the Chuncheng Military Region still participated in the farewell. Chen Chengwu, in civilian clothes, and the military band of the Provincial Military Region were all present to see off these veteran American Flying Tigers.
After these American veterans leave, they may never have the chance to return to China in their lifetime, so this farewell is Li Mu's last chance to express respect and gratitude to the veterans on behalf of the Chinese people.
The staff of the foundation have prepared very exquisite gifts for every American veteran, including exquisite commemorative albums made with Chinese and English historical materials and real historical photos, commemorative medals made of precious metals, and scenes from the foundation. The high-end porcelain set customized by Dezhen includes dozens of pieces of various types of porcelain. The bottom of each piece of exquisite porcelain has a sentence printed in Chinese and English: Thank you for your outstanding contribution to the Chinese War of Resistance and world peace.
In addition, the foundation also provides a very humane sponsorship for them and their descendants, that is: starting from next year, every American veteran will enjoy a seven-day free trip to China every year, if they If they are still willing to come to China to visit, the expenses incurred will be borne by the foundation. If they have physical limitations or pass away, their immediate family members will have three places to continue to enjoy this sponsorship.
The old Chinese Flying Tigers also came to the airport to see them off. Both the American and Chinese old people also had a unanimous awareness that this might be their farewell in this life, so everyone's face was filled with smiles. All with a special sadness,
This sad emotion has been brewing in the hearts of every old man, and it burst out when the old American Flying Tigers began to board the plane. The veterans of the two countries burst into tears, hugged each other and cried goodbye, making all onlookers also feel the same. Heartbroken.
However, the pace of fate never stops. Even if they are reluctant to leave, the veterans still say goodbye in front of the boarding ladder. After these old American Flying Tigers board the plane, the door gradually closes, and before the plane taxis, they can still see The veterans waved to the farewell personnel below from the oval window.
In the end, Air China 747 carrying the more than 20 American Flying Tigers took off at the end of the runway at Spring City Airport and disappeared into Chinese airspace.
After the plane took off, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. For him, a major phased task was completed. Next, he did not have so much energy to personally participate in this charity project, but fortunately all the necessary conditions were met. Everything is ready, and Liu Xinxin will do the rest.
Li Mu's long-term rented business jet was waiting to take off at Chuncheng Airport. Li Mu didn't even leave the airport after seeing him off. He took Li Ziwei directly to the hangar. Returning to Yanjing with him were Liu Xinxin and several foundation staff. Core backbone.
After boarding the plane, Li Mu immediately held a meeting with everyone on the plane to formulate the general direction for the next phase of the foundation's development.
For the first phase of the foundation, Li Mu has several requirements.
First, rapidly expand the scale of staff and volunteers to search for surviving veterans nationwide. The nationwide here refers to mainland China, as well as Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
Secondly, to advance the actual funding project for veterans, the first step is to provide stable living subsidies for all veterans. Regarding this, Li Mu’s requirement is that those whose income is less than the local average salary level for veterans should be paid monthly according to the local average salary. , for example, a Spring City veteran’s monthly income is only 50 yuan, but the local average salary level is already 800 yuan, then after verifying the situation, the foundation will provide the veteran with a monthly living allowance of 800 yuan; if the income exceeds the local If the average salary level is half of the average salary, for the same Spring City veteran, if the monthly income exceeds 800 yuan, no matter how much it exceeds, the foundation will provide him with a monthly living subsidy of 400 yuan. Once this subsidy starts, it will continue to be paid. Until the veteran dies;
Li Mu originally expected that being able to provide basic living needs for tens of thousands of veterans would be a severe test, but the efficiency of fundraising was really too high, so he negotiated with the staff of the foundation. , changing the basic living needs into the local average salary. Although the difference is only a few words, there is a huge difference in the amount of funds required.
Thirdly, we must identify medical cooperation units in all prefecture-level cities as soon as possible, so as to provide stable and reliable medical help to veterans. If the other party is willing to participate in the cooperation project of veterans not dying, it will be great. If there is no local medical unit willing to cooperate , then the foundation will find the best local public hospital and fully bear all costs for the veterans’ treatment.
Li Mu's plan suddenly increased the budget requirements more than ten times. If there are 40,000 veterans from the two sides and three places, and the average monthly subsidy is 1,000 yuan per person, it will be 40 million yuan. If the subsidy is completed in one year, it will be 500 million yuan. The burn is gone, but this part of the expenditure is okay. At least an upper limit can be estimated, but there is really no upper limit in terms of medical care.
The income situation of a considerable number of veterans is worrying, and the coverage and strength of medical insurance are relatively unoptimistic. The medical expenses of tens of thousands of elderly people in their 80s and 90s may cost hundreds of millions a year. If this is done, , the demand for foundation funds is very large.
Li Mu cannot guarantee to what level people's enthusiasm for the immortality of veterans will drop in the future. Now, several billions have been donated in just a few days. So after entering a stable period, can there be more than ten or two billion donations a year? , this is something Li Mu cannot guarantee for the time being, but Li Mu has also begun to prepare for a rainy day. He proposed a new operating concept for Liu Xinxin, asking her to use her strong connections and upper-class social influence to find operators in the communications industry. cooperate.
The method of cooperation is very simple. Promote a value-added service on the operator's platform. Currently, China Mobile has launched a ring tone service. Under normal circumstances, it is implemented in the form of user subscription and monthly deduction. Li Mu knows the power of ring tone and cannot use it. In two years, the number of CRBT users will exceed 100 million and the average monthly consumption per person will be at least two or three yuan. Li Mu is not asking for more. If there are millions or more mobile phone users, he is willing to provide value-added services every month to charity for veterans. The foundation donated a few yuan, and he was very grateful.
