Chapter 487 Who Is the One in Charge?
The sudden silence in the conference room made Ma Qianheng frown, even if it was some of Yu Yifa's strategies against him before. But everything was still under control, but when Yang Dongxu came, everything seemed to be getting out of control, which undoubtedly made him very unhappy.
"Since no one is talking, let me tell you my opinion first." Ma Qianheng glanced around and said, "Here's the thing, I asked the principal of the school and he can support 100,000 yuan in principle. Then the Red Cross will also support 100,000 yuan. The current plan is to buy four cars, each worth 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, so the total amount is around 300,000 yuan.”
"The Red Cross also supports 100,000?" Yang Dongxu had a surprised look on his face.
He looked at He Junshan and then at several other people in the conference room. Everyone had surprised looks on their faces. Obviously they didn't know about this matter, and the only person who knew about it was Ma Qianheng.
"Well, I received one of their representatives during the whole period. When they came, they wanted to inspect the teaching situation and see if it could be promoted nationwide. At that time, I personally took them to the supporting teaching point below because it was inconvenient to go back and forth.
At that time, they proposed to purchase several reception vehicles and said they would support a special fund of 100,000 yuan. I told the school leaders about this matter, so the school is also prepared to support 100,000 yuan.
The school attaches great importance to the supporting teaching, so occasionally the school leaders will go to the supporting teaching points below to see the specific situation, so sometimes cars can be used. "Ma Qianheng leaned back in his chair, with a look of unconcealable pride on his face.
Obviously the Red Cross also supports his trump card, using charity money to buy a car, which is indeed very difficult to get sick. But if the school contributes 100,000 yuan and the Red Cross also contributes 100,000 yuan, then the Runyu Fund will provide another 100,000 yuan, which will make those public welfare people who have objections to this matter feel much better.
After all, these cars were bought for their convenience, so that they could better supervise the teaching work. Of course, some people will definitely say that it would be great if 300,000 yuan could be used directly to pay the salaries of teaching students. However, these people are just complaining in their hearts and will not have much impact.
"You can tell Runyu Fund about this matter. I also have acquaintances there who can help and tell me. It should be fine." Yang Dongxu pondered for a moment and said.
Not to mention that those public welfare people would not have much objection to this kind of car purchase, even Yang Dongxu felt that it was a good deal. After all, you only need to pay one-third of the money to get four usable cars.
Although he was surprised just now that the Red Cross was making a cross at this time. He was just surprised by the Red Cross's starting point. He was actually not surprised at all that the Red Cross got involved in teaching.
Because as early as a few months ago, when the volunteer teachers were featured on People's Daily, News Network, and almost all major domestic TV stations and newspapers, the Red Cross had already contacted Runyu Fund.
But what they proposed at that time was to take over the role of Runyu Fund in receiving social donations. To put it bluntly, they wanted to help Runyu Fund manage money.
Yang Dongxu considered this and had no objection at the time, because at that time he received indeed a lot of donations from all walks of life. And many of them are state-owned enterprises. Although Runyu Fund has obtained formal procedures and licenses, it is still private after all. It is naturally weaker than state-owned enterprises. It would be much better for the Red Cross to come forward.
However, although we agree in principle that the Runyu Fund also made a request, that is, the Red Cross will manage the donations without any problems, but the Runyu Fund must monitor the whereabouts of every donation. In other words, it’s okay for you to take care of the money, but you have to explain clearly how you spend it, and I have to supervise and record it.
I don't care how the money is spent, but I have to explain it clearly to you. Who is the boss? So the Red Cross naturally refused to do anything, and both parties were a little unhappy because of this matter.
However, although the donation issue was a bit unpleasant, the two parties still had a lot of cooperation in other aspects of work. After all, compared with the Red Cross, Runyu Fund is just a fat kid. If you want to better promote volunteer education, you will definitely not be able to do it without the support of the Red Cross.
The Red Cross did not get the treasury of Runyu Fund, which made some leaders feel very uncomfortable and felt that Runyu Fund was not a good person.
However, the banner of supporting education has been raised as an internal reference, which has attracted great attention from the top management. As the largest official charity organization in the country, no matter what he thinks, the work of supporting education definitely needs to be popularized.
Therefore, it was no surprise that the people from the volunteer education side contacted Yang Dongxu from the Red Cross. It was just unexpected that the other party directly donated 100,000 yuan to buy a car.
"That's great. I will explain this matter to Runyu Fund tomorrow." Ma Qianheng slapped the table and said happily: "Fourth, thank you for your support of the teaching work."
"That's right. After all, I was the one who proposed teaching as a volunteer. I will definitely help wherever I can." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
But as soon as these words came out, Ma Qianheng, who was originally happy, frowned, although the expression on his face did not change. But the smile feels a bit hollow.
His last words just now were undoubtedly from the position of the host, listing Yang Dongxu as his guest. He believes that teaching support is a matter that he is in charge of, and Yang Dongxu is just here to help.
But Yang Dongxu's words are undoubtedly a bit heart-wrenching, that is, regardless of whether he, Ma Qianheng, is managing the supporting education now. Yang Dongxu was the original initiator of the supporting education matter, and this matter could not be obliterated regardless of whether he worked on the supporting teaching side or not.
In the future, when everyone mentions teaching in rural areas, they will think of him as the initiator. This is also the main reason why the higher authorities awarded him the Ten Outstanding Youth Medal.
"Okay, the meeting is over, let's go to dinner. I wanted to treat you guys to dinner when I came back from leave, but you were all too busy. It just so happened that we got together today and went to the old place?" Yang Dongxu did not see the change in Ma Qianheng's expression.
To be precise, he didn't think much about it at all, because he was the most enthusiastic about teaching in rural areas. Although he was a little lazy and didn't do specific work, it was because he knew that he was only suitable for guiding the general direction, not for specific work.
So he only worked on media hype, financial support, and how to popularize teaching in rural areas across the country. Therefore, he would help with anything that was helpful to teaching in rural areas. In his opinion, this matter was beneficial to teaching in rural areas, so it was very common for him to help.
In a private room in a small restaurant at the old place for the gathering, in addition to the two dormitory people who were called in, Yu Yi was also there this time. After all, excluding Yu Yi from the meeting just now was a bit of a way to isolate her. So when Yu Yi refused to come again, Yang Dongxu defined this dinner as a dinner for the teaching office.
In addition to Yu Yi, the other two office backbones also came together. The girls' dormitory basically participated in the teaching work, and so did Fang Min in the boys' dormitory. So it was not abrupt to come.
The atmosphere of the meal was not as serious as the meeting, especially after a few glasses of wine, everyone seemed to put aside the previous unpleasantness and chatted enthusiastically.
Because they were all from the teaching office, the chat was naturally about teaching. However, they did not talk about hardship and fatigue, but some interesting things encountered during teaching, and some gossip about college students who found their true love in the countryside.
After a few glasses of wine, Ma Qianheng's BB machine on his waist rang, so he apologized and went downstairs to answer the call. Although the size of mobile phones has become much smaller and the price has also dropped.
But BB-level still occupies the mainstream of communication facilities. Those public telephone booths on the street are BB-level supporting facilities and have been very popular for many years.
After a few bottles of beer, Yang Dongxu felt a little urgent to pee, so after Ma Qianheng went out for a while, he waved his hand and walked out of the box to the toilet. The box was on the second floor, and there was no toilet on the second floor. The toilet was in the backyard of the small restaurant, so Yang Dongxu went down to the first floor.
When he came out of the toilet and reached the stairs, he met Ma Qianheng who had just finished his phone call. Seeing Yang Dongxu, Ma Qianheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at the look of being in the backyard in a daze.
"Old Four, go over there and chat for a while?" Ma Qianheng pointed to the backyard of the small restaurant.
There were basically no people in the backyard, and the toilet was separated from the kitchen, so except for people who occasionally went to the toilet, the kitchen served dishes through another door.
"Okay." Yang Dongxu nodded.
The two turned and walked to the wall of the backyard not far from the toilet, and Ma Qianheng took out a cigarette from his pocket. Although Yang Dongxu didn't smoke normally, he still took it. After lighting it, the two began to smoke and didn't know what to talk about for a while.
After a while, Ma Qianheng flicked the ash from his cigarette, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "The second brother may have some misunderstandings about me, so sometimes he speaks with a little prejudice."
"I know that the second brother's character is to be content with a small fortune, and he also has a bit of literary and artistic aloofness. So he looks down on those who seek personal gain, but there is nothing wrong with being motivated and managing one's interpersonal relationships. It's just that the choice is different." Yang Dongxu smiled.
Obviously, Ma Qianheng knew the reason why Yang Dongxu suddenly appeared in the conference room today, so he made it clear. However, although Ma Qianheng had a look of disapproval on his face, he seemed to know that He Junshan's character would not care. But no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
"It's good that you understand." Ma Qianheng patted Yang Dongxu on the shoulder, "Go up."
"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Ma Qianheng frowned and looked at Yang Dongxu.
"The issue of the car is not about buying it, but about how it will be used in the future. It is best not to drive it as much as possible except for receiving those public welfare people who want to go down and take a look. If possible, it is best to make a detailed record of each car's trip." Yang Dongxu spoke directly without beating around the bush.
A car bought with charity funds is even more unacceptable than using an official car for private purposes. So Yang Dongxu was going to give Ma Qianheng a shot in advance to prevent any problems from happening and being caught. Put a black mark on Ma Qianheng's resume.
