Chapter 1797 Friends

Guo Taiming is even more stingy than Grandet in terms of treating workers and corporate costs.

But he has another advantage, that is, he is absolutely unambiguous when it is time to use money.

For example, in order to satisfy Xiao Qi's care for the workers, he gritted his teeth and raised the salaries of the workers in the Red Sea factory in Rongcheng. He would also purchase the best assembly factory lines immediately in order to meet Xiao Qi's demand for increased production.

And now.

On the day of May 12th, Guo Taiming happened to return to Baodao to deal with affairs, and unexpectedly heard about the 5.12 earthquake.

How else can Guo Taiming become the richest man in Baodao for many years in a row? He immediately donated 1 billion RMB to the account of Fairy Company and entrusted Fairy Company to help purchase supplies and rescue the disaster-stricken areas.

Then, he immediately took a group of his men and flew directly from Baodao to Rongcheng, and arrived in Rongcheng at night. While announcing the shutdown of the factory, he also called on all the workers to go to the disaster areas closest to Rongcheng to help remove the bricks. tiles, clearing roads, moving equipment, etc.

Not to mention, the 500,000 workers working in Red Sea No. 1 Factory and Red Sea No. 2 Factory are all young and strong, most of them are from Sichuan. Seeing the severe disaster in their hometown, they gathered together without saying a word. Under the leadership of a group of middle-level cadres, they drove to the nearby disaster area in a mighty car, obeying the orders of the government and military leaders who were in charge there, and acted as a new force.

Those who stayed were not idle either. They entered the cafeteria of the Red Sea Factory one after another, helped to make all kinds of food, and sent truckloads of food to the disaster area.

During earthquake relief, the government and the military generally do not want civilians to go, especially those who have not received professional training. Of course they have good intentions. But after going there, because of lack of experience and lack of ability, it was a hindrance to the earthquake relief work.

Even in the previous life, some ruffians in Yuanyin City, under the slogan of earthquake relief, went to the disaster area not only did not provide disaster relief, but instead groped around in the ruins all day long. When they were captured, they found out that they were looking for gold and silver jewelry, which completely embarrassed the people of Yuanyin City.

However, organized and disciplined workers are very welcome, because they have certain coordination skills, know how to work in a team, and are still a strong labor force, which is most suitable for some intensive labor operations.

Therefore, after this group of workers arrived in the disaster area late at night, they were immediately assigned to the collapsed buildings, and followed orders to start intense rescue.

Added the fairy factory. Including Daoyin Honghai Factory and Hyundai Sonata Factory, the total workforce exceeds 800,000!

Unlike the previous life, there were not so many people available in the major disaster areas in the previous life, at least not so many people at the first time, and it was only two or three days later that the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police came from all over go up.

No idea.

The road traffic in the previous life was severely blocked, and the first batch of armed police soldiers who entered had thrown away all their equipment. Brutally risking landslides, mudslides, broken bridges, and house collapses after aftershocks, I rushed in on foot. It took several hours to rush to the front line of the disaster area.

Not to mention other soldiers who need to transport equipment, it is already a miracle to be able to enter in large quantities in two or three days.

This is our PLA soldiers!

The soldiers at the bottom have never let the people down, and this is what Xiao Qi thinks is the biggest solid foundation since the founding of the country.

This life. Not only were the roads not as badly damaged and blocked as in the previous life, but the most important thing was that almost all of the disaster areas had a group of People's Liberation Army soldiers stationed there with equipment and supplies.

It is a pity that the top officials of the country only moved in one night in advance because they did not know the specific situation of the earthquake. Each place is only a group of more than 2,000 people.

If one more day could be given, another regiment would have been stationed tonight, so there would be more room for maneuver in the earthquake relief work.

There are more soldiers working hard in the places where the earthquake disaster was the worst, and 800,000 more young and strong laborers came to help, and this is not all.

What made Yu Chengsheng and other high-level officials of the country feel thankful is that the more than 50,000 workers on the construction site in Daoyin City who had just rescued the heavy snow disaster in the past two months had a place to play again this time.

Not only do they have experience in treating large-scale disasters, but their organizational and coordination abilities have been adjusted very well after the snowstorm, and they can basically be used as half a soldier.

And the most important point is that on the construction site where more than 50,000 people work, because of the construction of factory buildings, excavators, ground drilling machines, large tower cranes, various transport vehicles, board houses, reinforced concrete, etc. are all available. These are all things that can come in handy in earthquake relief!

Therefore, as the commander-in-chief, Yu Chengsheng contacted Xiao Xu immediately, but Xiao Xu said that he was already on his way to the construction site and was going to be divided into more than a dozen teams to rush to the worst-hit areas.

After the efforts of Xiao Qi and Xiao Xu, the districts, counties and townships in Daoyin City lost only one-tenth of the losses in their previous lives, which can be described as immeasurable merit.

However, several neighboring counties and cities still suffered a lot of disasters, especially Zexian County, Lei County, Qinchuan County, Beichuan County, etc. in the hardest hit areas. The number of casualties is still quite large. After contacting for a while, it was found that there were at least tens of thousands of casualties, and this number was still rising rapidly.

Because Xiao Xu's work scope is near here, Yu Chengsheng made a decision immediately. Before he arrived in Shuchuan, Xiao Xu, as the deputy head of the Central Earthquake Relief Working Group, coordinated and arranged matters in the hardest-hit area on the spot. Relevant matters can be reported to Xiao Xu, and he will deal with them quickly and decisively.

Good guy!

The leader of the working group is Yu Chengsheng, and the deputy leader should be a senior official at the provincial or ministerial level, let alone the on-site commander.

Xiao Xu is just a cadre at the departmental level, but now he has become the on-site commander abruptly, and it is obvious that his promotion is just around the corner!

But at this moment, Xiao Xu didn't think much about it at all. After communicating with Wen Anping and reporting, he started his busy work.

And he asked Wang Minsheng to call Xiao Qi from time to time, asking for only one thing: supplies! Supplies! Supplies! ! Get all the materials that can be used as soon as possible, the sooner the better!

From Xiao Xu's point of view, Guo Taiming's contribution to help is his old-fashioned kindness, but it is only natural for Xiao Qi to contribute.

Let's ignore this matter for now.

Of course, Xiao Qi’s friends are not limited to Dong Guo from Baodao. A group of friends from Hong Kong have already responded one after another. Japan and South Korea have also expressed their respective amounts of money and supplies, but as long as they have this kind of heart, they are already very happy Great favor.

In the previous life, the Zichuan Earthquake gave us the most donations from Asian countries. Europe and the United States have always been somewhat hostile to China. Although there are donations, the amount is not as good as a disaster like a major flood in those countries .

But this life is different, Xiao Qi has many friends in Europe and America.

Richardson, the British madman rich man and chairman of the Virgin Group, issued an emergency order to his employees half an hour after the earthquake, that is, at midnight London time, to purchase medicines worth 100 million pounds across Europe. The fastest speed to Shuchuan Province, to help my friend's hometown.

Corresponding to him is Ellison, the chairman of Oracle and the rich man of the American madman. He donated 100 million U.S. dollars to the account of Fairy Company, and entrusted Xiao Qi to purchase supplies nearby to help more people.

The two shareholders of DreamPad, one Green Pine Capital donated 30 million U.S. dollars, and the other LVMH also donated 30 million U.S. dollars. Even several executives of Citibank, who have a close relationship with Xiao Qi, donated a total of 5 million U.S. dollars. .

Only Gangzhu Qiao, who is recognized as Xiao Qi's best friend and is also a genius like Xiao Qi, didn't say a word at first, until 8 hours later, that is, in the morning of Western time in the United States, the eternal American idol, Only coyly announced through Apple that it will donate 1 million US dollars to the victims of the Sichuan disaster.

Ok.

As soon as the news came out, all Americans were shocked.

It's not because the leader Qiao is as stingy as Grandet, but on the contrary, they are surprised that the leader Qiao actually donated money! ?

You know, Qiao Gangzhu is notoriously not fond of charity, and he is not involved in any donations. His most famous sentence is "I bring beautiful products to the society, and doing my job well is the best." charity."

For this reason, he did not know how many people scolded him as Grandet, but the rebellious old boy still went his own way.

However, this time, Xiao Qi's hometown was hit by a huge earthquake, and Qiao's gang leader made an uncharacteristic donation. Although it was only a small amount of 1 million US dollars, the meaning was different!

It seems that Chief Qiao is really Xiao Qi's good friend, and he values ​​his friendship with Xiao Qi very much!

Americans put this matter on friendship, and only Xiao Qi knew that the main reason Qiao did this was because he lent him 5 billion U.S. dollars, and he didn't ask for a mortgage.

It is precisely because this is a huge favor, so at this time, even though Chief Qiao didn't want to donate, it was mostly under the persuasion of his family that he pinched his nose and donated 1 million.

If it wasn't Xiao Qi's hometown, if he missed this moment, then no matter what next time, Gang Leader Qiao would not donate.

What made Xiao Qi a little puzzled was that Chief Qiao was still a very devout Buddhist, but looking at his daily life, he was really very different! !
