The Mars board of directors reached a consensus that day and decided to donate US$20 million, US$30 million and US$50 million to 3321, the Veterans' Immortality and the Return of Lost Cultural Relics Foundation respectively, and the funds were eagerly completed the next day.
In order to facilitate overseas donations, these three charitable foundations have already set up overseas accounts. However, Li Mu insisted that Mars transfer all the US$100 million into the foundation's RMB account, and immediately after the money arrived, he made an RMB settlement with the central bank. Settlement.
The exchange rate is settled based on the real-time exchange rate on the day of arrival. US$100 million is converted into RMB, and the total is 828 million.
The central bank praised Li Mu's operation very much. Many companies are racking their brains to convert the money they earn domestically into dollars and put it in the accounts of overseas offshore companies. However, Li Mu has been trying to bring money into the country from abroad. Come.
After the money was settled, Li Mu immediately called Dong Ai, the person in charge of 3321.
Li Mu hadn't seen Senior Sister Ai for a long time and thought she was personally responsible for helping William build 3321 in the UK. After calling him, he found out that Senior Sister Ai had just returned from the UK and was preparing to make some adjustments in Yanjing. Led a team on a field trip to Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan.
According to Sister Ai’s original words, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan have the most graduating high school students in need of financial aid. From the end of this year to next summer, the most important support area of the 3321 Student Aid Fund in the country is Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, so she is preparing for this The team spent half a month conducting a thorough inspection of the situation of poor students in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan.
After listening to this, Li Mu asked her on the phone: "Senior Ai, when are you going to leave Beijing?"
Dong Ai said: "We have booked a flight the day after tomorrow and will arrive at the capital of your province first."
Li Mu said: "The schedule is so busy? Senior Sister Ai is really working hard."
Dong Ai smiled and said, "Don't say that, Mr. Li. Compared with you, I feel quite relaxed."
With that said, Dong Ai asked again: "Mr. Li, you rarely call me. Do you want to see me for something?"
Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "Well, if you take the time to come to Makino Technology today, I will tell you good news."
Dong Aixiao asked: "Can you reveal any good news first?"
Li Mu pretended to be mysterious and said, "I'll tell you when you get here, but don't worry, it's definitely great news."
Dong Ai said hurriedly: "I'll be there right away. Is it convenient for you?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "It's convenient, come over."
Within half an hour after hanging up the phone, Dong Ai rushed to Makino Technology and, under the leadership of Li Ziwei, arrived at Li Mu's office.
3321's headquarters has always been in the National People's Congress, and like Makino Technology, it is also in Zhongguancun, but the distance is very close.
It had been a while since he had seen Dong Ai. Li Mu found that Dong Ai had become more mature than before. She was wearing a navy blue professional suit. She was dignified and elegant at the same time. Her waterfall-like long hair was permed into slightly big waves, making her Her mature temperament is a bit more feminine.
Seeing Li Mu, Dong Ai smiled and said, "Mr. Li, why are you so anxious to ask me to come here?"
Li Mu hurriedly stood up, pointed to the sofa in the reception area and said to her: "Come on, come on, Senior Ai, please take a seat. Let's sit down and chat slowly."
Dong Ai nodded, sat down opposite Li Mu, and said, "As soon as I received your call, I rushed over in a hurry. I also told everyone that Mr. Li had good things to do, so don't fool me."
Li Mu smiled and said, "When have I ever deceived you? If something good happens, there must be something good."
With that said, Li Mu went straight to the point and said, "I made a donation to 3321."
"Really?" Dong Ai's eyes lit up and he hurriedly approached and asked, "Mr. Li, how much is the amount?"
Li Mu stretched out two fingers.
Dong Ai smiled and said: "Mr. Li called me personally. I guess it can't be two million, twenty million?"
Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Twenty million US dollars."
"Wow, so many!" Dong Ai exclaimed and said, "Did it be donated by Makino Technology or someone else?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "I blackmailed it from Mars in the United States. The money has arrived. Converted into RMB, the total is more than 165 million."
Dong Ai praised: "It's great. If this money is used to provide financial aid to recent college entrance examination students, at least tens of thousands of people can go to college."
Li Mu waved his hand and said: "This money is earmarked for special use and should not overlap with 3321's current main students."
Dong Ai asked hurriedly: "Special funds are used for this purpose? In what ways will they be used?"
Li Mu said: "It is used to build Hope Primary School, so it is called 3321 Hope Primary School."
"Hope Primary School..." Dong Ai pondered for a moment and asked Li Mu: "Are we donating the money to the local government and the local government is responsible for the construction?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "In order to avoid the situation of getting stuck during the donation and construction process, the Hope Primary School donated and built by 3321 must be directly bid by 3321, and the acceptance and settlement must be done directly with the contractor. The local government is not allowed to interfere with the construction party's recruitment. The bidding must not interfere with any aspect of funding or building materials, and the local government must not interfere at all before the Hope Primary School is completed. The local government will only accept the construction after the Hope Primary School is completed and be responsible for subsequent operations."
Dong Ai thought for a while and said: "Mr. Li, 3321 itself does not have a team that understands the construction industry. If we are responsible for the bidding, acceptance and settlement, we may not be able to guarantee the details."
Li Mu said: "Let's break down all the work first. The construction of Hope Primary School is no different from other civil construction projects. It is nothing more than the overall design, budget, public bidding, and supervision and acceptance during the construction process. My idea is that the design In this area, we must first develop a unified standard.”
Having said this, Li Mu paused and continued: "Look, clothing stores, car 4S stores, and chain restaurants basically all adopt a set of official design standards. How to design the appearance, how to design the internal modules, and how to handle the details. They are all uniformly formulated by the government, and each store will fine-tune them according to actual conditions and local conditions. If chain companies can do it, then of course Hope Primary School can also do it."
Dong Ai nodded and said, "It makes sense, go on."
Li Muchao: “I want to design the teaching building into a unified module. For example, the standard for a building we designed is that it can accommodate 500 students and teachers’ daily classes and office work. Let the design company come up with a unified module based on our needs. Design drawings and a set of project cost budgets. In this way, all hope primary schools donated and built across the country in the future can be implemented according to this set of designs. The budget can be fine-tuned based on the different economic development conditions of various places. "
Dong Ai asked: "So, our Hope Primary Schools all have the same architectural design?"
"Of course." Li Mu nodded and said: "We are different from chain stores. Chain stores rent different shops with different sizes and apartment types. Therefore, each chain store can only ensure that the overall style is consistent, but the overall style is different. We hope to donate For primary schools, at least the local government must give us dedicated land and we can build them from scratch, so this is the best way to implement completely unified standards."
"That is to say, all the Hope Primary School teaching buildings donated by 3321 must be exactly the same from appearance to internal design to specific construction standards. In addition, the overall design of the school must be simple and generous, and must also have certain Design sense, we need to have our own design language.”
Dong Ai thought for a moment and asked: "Mr. Li, is the size of our Hope Primary Schools uniform in all places?"
Li Mu said: "At least the first stage must be unified."
The special fund of 20 million US dollars, converted into RMB, is about 165 million. At this stage, inflation is not serious, and the cost of civil engineering projects is not high. Normally, the overall cost of a small Hope Primary School is only Between two and three million, this amount of money can build almost seventy or eighty houses.
If we allocate part of the 3321 student aid fund, it would not be a big problem to build 100 schools in the first phase. Therefore, Li Mu’s first-phase donation plan for 3321 Hope Primary School is to donate and build 100 schools across the country. One hundred hope primary schools.
Li Mu told Dong Ai his idea of building 100 Hope Primary Schools in the first phase, and then said: "The 100 Hope Primary Schools in the first phase will all be built according to the scale of 500 students and adopt exactly the same design. If the second phase At this stage, we will donate to build a larger Hope Primary School, which will also adopt the same design style, but make adjustments to the floors. If we want to accommodate more students, we can add one or two floors, or simply turn the teaching building into a 500-person teaching building. Build two buildings.”
Dong Ai nodded repeatedly and said: "I understand what you mean. In this case, we can also outsource the bidding and supervision work to a powerful construction industry company, and let them send a team to follow us to various places to conduct bidding and supervision. Supervision work.”
"Yes." Li Mu said with appreciation: "My idea is to leave professional work to professional people, so that we can worry less."
Speaking, Li Mu added: "Once we start working on this matter, we will definitely continue to do it. In the first phase, we will invest in the construction of 100. In the second phase next year, Makino Technology and Taobao will at least take We will donate 5 to 1 billion funds to build the second batch, and in a year or two, there will be a larger third batch."
Dong Ai nodded and said excitedly: "According to what you said, in a few years our 3321 Hope Primary Schools will be blooming everywhere!"
Li Mu said seriously: "Based on the scale of these two companies, Makino Technology and Taobao, and their estimated profits after their future listings, it is very easy to donate and build 100 Hope Primary Schools in China every year."
Dong Ai asked hurriedly: "Mr. Li, do you have any suggestions regarding the location selection of the first batch of 100 Hope Primary Schools?"
Li Mu said: "I suggest that site selection should be considered comprehensively. You can't just start from the poorest places, nor just start from the places with the highest out-of-school rates. You should take a comprehensive look at the poverty situation, the out-of-school rate, the total number of out-of-school children, and the local children." The difficulty of transportation to school and other factors are taken into account, each factor is given a specific weight, and then a set of calculation formulas are developed, starting with the areas of greatest need."
Sorry, I had a fever of 39 degrees + yesterday, and now I’m still feeling dizzy and have no energy...
