, what about my employees? "Jiang Sheng shook his head.
He Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then deliberately said: "Then you weren't afraid of your parents worrying before?"
Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and smiled, "Before, when you were young and frivolous, you didn't want so much, you just did it if you liked it."
"It turns out that Mr. Jiang was also young and ignorant at times." He Yi deliberately buried him.
Jiang Sheng smiled and did not refute.
"Since you don't go hiking anymore, why do you still go to the mountains?" He Yi wondered.
"I once went to a village where the people were too poor. I saw with my own eyes that two brothers in a family died because of 20 yuan. It shocked me so much at the time, and I wanted to help the people there get rid of poverty. As the old saying goes, you know the etiquette if you are honest, and you know the honor and disgrace when you have enough food and clothing. Only if you live a good life, will there be no more such incidents where brothers turn against each other because of 20 yuan, and even cause death." Jiang Sheng sighed.
He Yi didn't seem to know Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng would be so kind. Jiang Sheng saw He Yi's expression was funny, but in He Yi's eyes, could he be a profiteer without any compassion
"How bad am I in your eyes?" Jiang Sheng couldn't help teasing her.
"It's not that you are so bad, it's just that I didn't expect you to be so kind." He Yi told the truth.
Jiang Sheng gave her a funny look.
After a while, He Yi asked again: "But isn't this what the Poverty Alleviation Office should do? How could it be your turn to do it?"
"Our country's poverty alleviation has done a good job, and now the coverage is wider. But there were still some areas that were not taken into account. I went there 10 years ago. At that time, there were still many poor areas in our country, unlike now." Jiang Sheng explained.
"Then how did you do it?" He Yi was curious.
"Helping the poor comes first, have you ever heard of it?" Jiang Sheng asked back.
He Yi nodded, she still knew this. If a person waits for relief from others, then this person does not need relief at all. What is cultivated for free is getting something for nothing, human greed and irresponsibility. Rather than pity and gratitude. God helps those who help themselves, this is the truth.
"What I'm thinking about is how to help them get rid of poverty and become rich, but they need their own efforts. In fact, there are only 200 people in that small village. According to the standards there, I can give them a little money to make them live well. It's just that I have been raising They have no problem at all. But this is definitely not possible, we have to let them work and make money with their own hands." Jiang Sheng continued.
"Then how did you do it?" He Yi's curiosity was completely aroused.
"It's very simple. The agricultural products are produced there. I receive as much as they grow. I give them the market price, not the wholesale price. I pay for the transportation, labor, and other costs. Oh, I'm not alone. People are our group of friends. Five or six people." Jiang Sheng explained in more detail.
"A group of you?" He Yi opened his mouth wide in shock.
"Well, it's just a group of like-minded friends. They all have some status, certain resources and contacts. If you don't have money or resources, you can't do much even if you want to."
"That's true." He Yi nodded.
"Then what do you do with the things you bought?" He Yi was curious.
"Sell it. Otherwise, just the few of us wouldn't be able to consume so many agricultural products." Jiang Sheng laughed.
"To whom?"
"By category, the medicinal materials are sold to medicinal materials companies, and the agricultural products are sold to restaurants. Mountain products, handicrafts, and farm specialties are also sold to corresponding places. In short, they are handled by category. We, each of us, have some social connections , so it’s easy to deal with this little thing.”
"This will help them get rid of poverty?" He Yi wondered.
"You can maintain a basic life. You can't talk about being rich, but at least you have enough food and clothing, and you won't kill people because of that little money."
"Then did anyone plant them on a large scale because of your acquisition?"
"If they had the brains, how could they have been nesting in the mountains and figured out a way to get out. In this society, as long as you work hard and have a bright mind, life will not be bad." Jiang Sheng laughed.
"That's right, that is, you just let their products sell for a good price?"
"This is for people who are willing to stay in the mountains. If they are willing to come to the city to work, we will provide job opportunities. But this will not be taken care of extra. They will get paid as others get paid."
"Are there many people there?"
"Not many, many people dare not go out of the closed circle, and would rather be poor in the mountains than go out to see the outside world." Jiang Sheng sighed.
"Then you can't think of a way to change their views?"
Jiang Sheng was speechless, "Other people's opinions for decades can be changed by us with a few words? Many people refuse to change and accept new things."
"That means they can only stay so poor forever?"
"We're mostly transforming the next generation."
"Oh, I see, you are only doing the Hope Project." He Yi suddenly realized.
Jiang Sheng laughed, "Our country has already made compulsory education, so why do we need the Hope Project? Now many Hope Project primary schools have been abandoned. Shall we build a few more schools and wait for them to be abandoned?"
"Then what did you do?" He Yi was genuinely curious.
"We are engaged in scholarships. Every semester, the top students in the class and the top students in the age group will be rewarded."
"That's easy to fake, and it's easy to create a gray area." He Yi disagrees.
"Well, now that the country is helping the poor in many areas, the eggs for children must be hard-boiled eggs. Because this is the only way to count the number, if it is egg drop or steamed, it will give people room for profit. Like milk, you must also drink it on the spot. It’s okay to pour it out if you can’t finish it, and the students will not be allowed to take it home. They are afraid that the parents will use it for other purposes after the students take it home. These policies seem rigid, but in fact they guarantee the children’s safety to the greatest extent. Benefits." Jiang Sheng nodded.
"Then what did you do? Tell me quickly." He Yi urged.
"It's almost the same as the national policy. Every year, we will arrange people to invigilate the exam, and the exam papers will be randomly checked. Then the students' handwriting will be compared. In short, they are some methods to prevent fraud, nothing new. But it will form a certain This kind of deterrence makes people dare not change their children's grades at will."
"So you just encourage children to study, encourage them to go out of the mountains, live in the city in the future, and completely get rid of the life trajectory of their parents?"
"Almost. Many people of the older generation have already formed their ideas and concepts, and they cannot do without the mountains. They can only start from the next generation."
"But I think it's hard to leave the homeland. It's not that the city is good." He Yi doesn't think that the city will be better.
"This is also the case. So we are based on the situation. If they have development potential, we will help them develop. If there is no potential, it is better to move out." Jiang Sheng nodded.
"Didn't you just say a small village of two hundred people?" He Yi asked.
"It's not like we only help one person. Doesn't it seem that we are too good-for-nothing to do just one of us?"
He Yi smiled shyly, "How many are there in total?"
"It's hard to say. We have helped some people, but the people there are really unable to help them, so they wait for the government's relief. We will help them at first, but we will give up in the end. There are still some worthy of help, and we will increase them." Strength. I can’t explain it in a few words.”
"Oh." He Yi nodded and didn't dwell on this question any longer.
"Then what do you want to do this time?" He Yi continued to ask.
"Look at the lives of the people there. The essence of what we do is to help them improve their living conditions. So we will go and have a look at it every once in a while to see if what we do really helps them. If not, It can also correct errors in time. If it is useful, you can consider increasing the intensity."
"So you are going to investigate this time?"
"I said the inspection was a bit serious, so I just went to have a look. As for the inspection, we have professional people to analyze it. The weather is more comfortable now, so I want to take a walk."
"How much do you spend every year?" He Yi was very interested in this question.
"Not much." Jiang Sheng didn't want to talk more.
"How much is not much?" He Yi insisted.
"It depends on personal preference. If you have a wide hand, you can give more. If you are tight, you can give less. It depends on the age."
"How much is average, I said average. Don't perfuse me."
"Generally, hundreds of millions."
"Then can you guys file tax returns?" He Yi knows that many people do charity to reduce taxes.
Jiang Sheng shook his head, "This is our wish. I have always believed that paying taxes according to the law is an obligation. If everyone wants to evade taxes, how can this country run. The government needs funds to maintain the country's operations. Only the government can perform it normally We can live a better life. If, like some countries, the government is suspended, or simply unable to perform its duties, the life of the people in those countries is obvious to all.”
"You still have such a sense of social responsibility." He Yi sighed.
"To be a human being, you have to have some morals." Jiang Sheng laughed.
"If you are poor, you will be good for yourself; if you are rich, you will benefit the world. Like me, I can only manage myself well and not cause trouble to the society. This kind of thing that helps the world can only rely on you rich people." He Yi laughed.
"You will bury me." Jiang Sheng pinched her face.
He Yi slapped his hand away.
Chapter 35
He Yi didn't plan to go out, but after hearing what Jiang Sheng said, she wanted to go and have a look. She has always known that Jiang Sheng is not bad, but she never thought that this person can be so good and have such a sense of social responsibility
