Chapter 360 Safety Measures and Sponsoring Students
Chapter 360 Safety Measures and Sponsoring Students (asking for monthly tickets)
Lin Haoyu thought for a moment and said, "I have another idea. We should impose heavy penalties on those who defraud charity funds."
"What kind of severe punishment is this? We don't have the power to enforce the law?" Yang Wendong asked.
Lin Haoyu said: "I have read about the deeds of some overseas charitable foundations. Among them, there is a charitable foundation in the UK that will sign an agreement with all beneficiaries before providing large-scale assistance, requiring them to disclose large assets, such as houses or cars, work income, debts, etc.
If there is something hidden and it is discovered later, then according to the agreement, three times the amount must be returned. For example, if 3 Hong Kong dollars were received, 1 must be returned. "
"Well, the idea is possible, but it is still difficult to implement." Zhao Liming said curiously: "It is difficult to investigate these things, and it is hard to say whether the things found in private investigations can be used as evidence in court.
From investigation, evidence collection, finding a lawyer, to going to court, the energy and money required for this whole process is probably far more than the fine, right? "
Lin Haoyu nodded and said, "Yes, it is difficult, but to sign this agreement, we don't actually need to investigate everyone. We just need to wait until we discover a case by chance, and then focus on this person. Even if it costs a little more money, we have to make him pay the price."
"Killing the chicken to scare the monkey?" Yang Wendong naturally understood the meaning.
"Yes, to scare the monkeys." Lin Haoyu said: "The greater role of this agreement is to publicize it, so that all applicants will know in advance. In this way, considering the risks, many people who are not brave enough may withdraw.
If we have a successful claim case, it will be more convenient. We can make relevant materials and inform all applicants. This way, we may be able to reduce the number of people who intend to fish in troubled waters. "
"Well, OK, let's do it this way," Yang Wendong agreed. "Also, add a clause to the contract that all litigation costs and attorney fees will be paid by the other party. I want to see if some people are really willing to take the risk."
Many things do need a punishment mechanism. Otherwise, many people will think it's a good idea not to take advantage of the situation. If they are found out, the worst that can happen is that they just return the money and that's it. This model will inevitably lead to many people occupying public or charitable resources.
For example, regarding low-rent housing, many people who drive BBAs get the houses and then rent them out to people who really need them. If they are discovered, they will return the houses or may not even return them.
Of course, there must be a huge chain of interests involved. This situation may occur in any government agency or large company. Due to human nature, we can only wait until the various policies are gradually improved in the future. Many policies can only be filled after loopholes are discovered, and it is impossible to be perfect in the early stages.
"Okay, then I'll discuss it with the people from the Legal Department." Lin Haoyu agreed.
On October 10, the first floor of Changxing Building was luxuriously decorated, comparable to the Peninsula Hotel. In the huge space, there were sofa lounge areas on both sides. The front desk was right in front of the door. There were a total of five young women working here. There were also more than a dozen security guards guarding the hall.
At this time, a woman in white came in from the revolving door. When the security guard at the door saw her, he immediately straightened up.
The woman in white didn't care. She walked to the front desk, handed over a business card, and said, "I want to see your chairman Yang Wendong."
"Ah? Madam Yang, what are you doing..." The girl at the front desk was a little dumbfounded. A wife doesn't need their consent to see her husband, right?
The woman in white was naturally Bai Yujie, but she said, "I am not Madam Yang."
"No. Not now?" The receptionist was still a little confused. Did they get divorced?
How is this possible? Yang Wendong is a man that countless girls would rather become his concubines for. How could such a thing be possible?
Bai Yujie blushed slightly and said quickly, "No, that's my sister. I'm the younger sister of Madam Yang you mentioned."
"Oh, OK, please let me see the business card." The receptionist finally reacted, but she would still glance at it from time to time. They were really too similar.
Another receptionist immediately looked at the gold edge of the business card. It was made with a unique craft. Only a very few people within Changxing Group knew the truth behind it.
Yang Wendong’s real business card is rarely given out, and those who can hold this business card have a certain privilege.
Soon, the confirmation was completed, and the front desk immediately made a phone call to confirm. After a while, she returned the business card to Bai Yujie with both hands and said, "Hello, Miss Bai, our people will take you to the 26th floor, and someone will receive you there."
"Okay." Bai Yujie put away her business card, and a receptionist came out from the empty seat at the back and said, "Miss, please come this way. You will take the special elevator to the top floor."
"Special elevator?" Bai Yujie was here for the first time and didn't know about this.
Soon, the two came to an elevator guarded by two security guards. The front desk clerk then came forward to communicate. Half a minute later, a security guard opened the elevator and walked in.
The three of them then took the elevator to the 26th floor. When the elevator opened, a woman and two other security guards were already standing in front of the elevator.
One of the women said, "Hello, Miss Bai. I am Mr. Yang's secretary. Please follow me."
"Yeah." Bai Yujie didn't think much about it. Just as she walked out of the elevator, she heard the security guard next to her say, "Miss Bai, please do a simple security check and take out the metal on your body."
"Metal?" Bai Yujie thought for a moment and took out a small flashlight and keys from her bag.
The security guard then held a metal detector and scanned it, then nodded. The secretary assistant said, "Ms. Bai, please come this way. Mr. Yang is waiting for you."
"Hmm~" Bai Yujie nodded.
Soon, Bai Yujie arrived at Yang Wendong's office. What came into view was an empty office of at least a thousand feet. On the right was the office area, with desks and bookcases, while the left looked like a rest area, with sofas and a patch of green plants. There were also many names and famous paintings on the wall.
Directly in front of you is a huge glass window, through which you can directly see the Kowloon Peninsula across the Victoria Harbour, and you can even seem to see some seagulls flying.
"Yujie?" Yang Wendong seemed a little dazed at the scenery outside the window and reminded with a smile.
Bai Yujie reacted and said with an awkward smile: "Your scenery looks really beautiful."
Yang Wendong also stood up and said, "Yes, but the buildings in Central and those near Victoria Harbour have good views, otherwise the land here wouldn't be so expensive."
The current housing prices in Central, for Grade A office buildings, have exceeded HK$1500 per square foot, which was the HK$ in the 60s.
Ordinary people, even if they work hard for three years without eating or drinking, still cannot afford one square meter here. However, based on the income in Hong Kong a few decades later, it is similar. Buying a house is difficult in any era.
Bai Yujie also sat down, and then asked, "When I came up just now, the security was so tight."
"Safety is the most important thing. We are strict just in case." Yang Wendong said with a smile: "My process is actually much worse than that of many government officials." With the current wealth of the Yang family, it can be said that they can become world-class wealthy people with their eyes closed. The difference is that they may work harder and be less idle.
These are not very important. What is more important are the other two factors: one is physical safety, and the other is health. The latter can only be checked through physical examinations, but the former can be controlled, so the regulations in this regard are also a bit strict.
Bai Yujie asked curiously, "You can't check everyone like this, right?"
"Do you think ordinary people can see me?" Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Most of the business cards I gave you are actually for some big entrepreneurs, bankers or government officials.
If these people want to see me, there won’t be so many procedures, or my family, familiar friends, or people from my own company.
People like you who come here by chance are the ones that are subject to the key inspection. I guess you are considered half a family member, otherwise the inspection would be stricter."
Although security is strict, this is naturally not necessary for celebrities. People in the upper class basically have rules to maintain everyone's safety. Even among competitors, only a very few will use "safety" as a bargaining chip.
If such a person really appeared, he would definitely be excluded and suppressed by the entire upper class society.
Moreover, when the upper class does things, even if it is a business war to seize the other party's industrial company, they generally will not destroy the other party's family and property. In most cases, even if they win, they will let the loser gain monetary benefits to avoid them from becoming desperate.
This is also the default rule of the upper class.
Many businessmen are more worried about some small people because they are completely uncontrollable.
"Oh." Bai Yujie also understood.
Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Well, I'll ask my assistant to add Li's name to the safety list later. There will be no need to check so much when you come here in the future. The people under me also abide by the rules and must be strictly checked."
"Okay." Bai Yujie nodded, took out another piece of paper, and said, "I brought you a list of poor students in the school. Take a look."
"Okay, let me take a look." Yang Wendong took the paper.
This piece of paper not only contains a list, but also contains a brief introduction, such as what kind of experience a student has, what kind of achievements he has made, etc.
After all, Changxing Group is a business, and everything is for profit. The premise of helping poor students is that the poor students have excellent academic performance. Otherwise, if they are poor and have poor academic performance, what's the point of helping them? The charity fund will not give a penny.
Bai Yujie introduced: "There are 32 people in total, all of whom have excellent academic performance. In terms of family background, these people are not very well off, but some of them are not very poor. I have also written about their family situations."
"I'm not looking for very poor people." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "If you can send your children to college, you are not actually very poor. You can only say that you are a little poorer than others. College tuition and living expenses are more expensive for them."
This is not the mainland where there is compulsory education. Before MacLehose, there was no compulsory education in Hong Kong.
Primary school tuition is not very expensive and normal families can afford it. But after junior high school, there is an elimination system and only the best and the rich will be admitted. Changxing Group intends to sponsor those among this group of best students whose family conditions are relatively not so good.
"Well, that's good." Bai Yujie said, "The tuition at our school is quite expensive, and most families really can't afford it. With your policy, they can basically go to school."
"It's mutually beneficial. After they graduate, they will work for me." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Bai Yujie said: "It's a great thing to be able to join your company. For them, future jobs are already secured."
"You also need to have good grades." Yang Wendong added, "These people can't sit back and relax just because they have been admitted to the low-interest loan aid program. We will also check their grades every semester. If their grades are not good, the support will be cancelled."
"What should we do with the previous loan after it is cancelled?" Bai Yujie asked.
Yang Wendong thought for a moment and said, "They will pay it back after graduation. I won't force a student to pay it back. Even if their grades are not so good, it won't be difficult for them to find an ordinary job in the future, and they can afford to pay it back."
You can't be too extreme in doing things, otherwise it may not gain any benefits but will only make you suffer. As long as you don't suffer any losses in the end, it's fine.
"Well, that's good, otherwise they wouldn't dare to apply for your loan." Bai Yujie smiled, and then said: "Then let me tell you about a few more outstanding ones. I think they will be very powerful in the future."
"Okay," Yang Wendong nodded.
An hour and a half later, Yang Wendong personally escorted Bai Yujie to the entrance of the building, arranged for his own car to take her away, and then went upstairs himself.
After the front desk staff saw the boss go up, one of them said, "I just found out that Mrs. Yang Er has a twin sister."
"I don't know either. They really do look exactly the same."
"That's why Mrs. Yang gave birth to twins. I heard that twins can also inherit the trait."
"Twin sisters, I heard this is every man's dream?"
"Really?"
"Of course. If you don't believe me, ask Aaron. Hey, Aaron, come here."
A security guard came over.
"Are you men's favorites twin sisters? Tell the truth?"
Aaron said: "Triplets are fine too..."
