Chapter 1382 Charity Insider
An hour later, qualifying finally came to an end, and Hamilton drove the Mercedes-Benz car to successfully win the pole position, which also made many fans who supported him very happy.
At the Monte Carlo circuit, the significance of winning pole position is that the probability of winning the championship is greatly increased.
Because it is an urban street race, there are not many places for drivers to overtake. In narrow streets, only two cars can pass at the same time. Otherwise, it would be impossible to surpass it.
The roar of the engine still lingers in my ears. No wonder some people say that F1 cars are not seen with eyes, but heard with ears.
After today's race day, the track was not immediately lifted. Monaco and F1 jointly organized a variety of activities to interact with fans and let more people know about F1 cars.
You even have the opportunity to drive an F1 car in person under the explanation of the coach, run two laps on the track, and feel the speed of the wind.
Of course, this kind of racing car used to interact with fans is specially tuned, and it is slightly different from what the drivers drive, but it does not hinder the driving experience. After all, no amateur fan has the guts to speed up the car to more than 300 .
In addition, there are opportunities to take photos and chat with big names. In short, for the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, it is far more than simply watching the game.
At night, Monaco was brightly lit, and everyone in the streets and alleys was talking loudly about today's qualifying, dancing and dancing as if they had driven on the track and won the championship.
Daniel went back to the Balenciaga Hotel, while Yang Cheng and Emma took advantage of the night to go to Nice. Compared with the luxury and hustle and bustle of Monaco, Nice has a kind of serenity like a paradise against the backdrop.
A good friend of Emma's childhood is now married and has settled down with her husband in Nice. Emma is fascinated by the happy appearance of a family of four.
So much so that on the way back to Monaco, the whole person was immersed in a sense of resentment.
Yang Cheng couldn't help asking, "Want to get married?"
Emma shook her head, "I'm just envious, but I still can't bring up the courage to get married."
Yang Cheng could understand that, in fact, without Luo Yue, a blind date that satisfied him, the word marriage would still be far away from him.
Just about to say a few thoughtful words, Emma suddenly turned her head and said, "I went to Africa last month and saw those children who couldn't eat a full meal for a month. There are too few of them."
Yang Cheng sighed, women are most likely to feel compassion, "So what do you want to do?"
"As the spokesperson of the charity fund under New Era Media, I should have the right to make suggestions, right?"
"Of course~"
"Is it possible to set up a dedicated fund for poor areas in Africa?"
Yang Cheng thought for a while, and said seriously, "Emma, first of all, you have to be clear that the general environment in Africa cannot be solved with how much money we invest."
After a pause, he searched for a piece of news on his mobile phone and handed it over, "These news reports are not fake. People from the WFP mobilized a batch of grain seeds and gave them to the local people, hoping that they can solve the problem from the root cause with their own hands. The problem of not getting enough to eat.
But the seeds haven't been planted yet.
They have already been eaten up, can you say they are hopeless?
Not really, they are just too hungry, so hungry that they can't wait for the seeds to germinate, they must fill their stomachs first, and people who are hungry are not qualified to talk about the future. "
Emma didn't read the news at all, so she knew what Yang Cheng was talking about, and shook her head helplessly, "But I always feel that I need to do something.
At least worthy of my speech at the United Nations. "
Yang Cheng laughed, "The feminism you are advocating now is your core interest. The quality of life of Africans is not your turn to worry."
After a pause, he seemed to feel that his words were not convincing enough, so he simply moved out the richest man, "Most of the charitable funds of Bill Gates and his wife Melinda are used to fund institutions and organizations in developed countries, while poor countries in Africa can only share a small share." Cup.
They prefer to give money to organizations in the northern hemisphere to study how to fight hunger in the southern hemisphere. "
Emma looked disbelieving, and Yang Cheng directly called up a briefing from his mobile phone that was sent to him by his foundation, which mentioned the flow of funds of the Melinda Foundation in recent years
"In recent years, out of the US$3 billion allocated by the Melinda Foundation, 80% went to the US and Europe, and only 10% went to Africa.
Among them, the countries that have benefited the most are the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands.
In addition, 75% of the US$669 million used to fund agricultural research by non-government organizations went to American institutions, while African organizations received only 4%.
It is very incomprehensible for ordinary people to take money from North American organizations to study agricultural issues in the southern hemisphere. Moreover, I can guarantee that most of the funds are used to develop high-tech equipment and ignore African farmers. A solution based on my own experience.
The end result is that farmers in Africa simply become consumers of other people's technological achievements, waiting for some technological companies to sell them the latest research and development achievements.
To put it bluntly, Africans have no right to choose independently.
It is also debatable whether the Melinda Foundation is helping Africa with all its heart. "
After a pause, he directly exposed the dark side, "Rather than helping Africa, it is better to say that these European and American foundations have joined forces to use donations to indirectly exert influence on the governments of African countries.
These foundations have established powerful non-government organizations in Africa, such as the Green Alliance, and then they will use the authority of some experts to directly intervene in the formulation and modification of African agricultural policies. It is equivalent to controlling the entire country.
As long as the ZF of a country is successfully intervened, it can further help the foundation to realize the results of the research and development projects funded by the foundation. As for whether these results can really help Africans, or empty their wallets of the last coin, there are two opinions. The wise see the wise! "
Emma didn't give up, "But I heard that the Melinda Foundation once donated a batch of chickens to Africa? Isn't this a good project? Africans can use this to eat eggs and chicken, and they can also use chickens to increase their income. income."
Yang Cheng laughed out loud, "If you don't tell me, I'll forget it. This is a big joke. It's more exciting than the project of turning shit into water purification, and the super small umbrella project that reduces the probability of AIDS transmission. People want to laugh."
Emma frowned, "You can't do this, Jason, it's a good thing."
