Chapter 281 Adding fuel to the flames to fight the difficulties together
In the evening, Yang Wendong returned home.
Yang Zhiwen, who could already walk, staggered to Yang Wendong and shouted: "Daddy~~"
'Baby, be good~' Yang Wendong kissed his son's face and smiled. Yes, this is also the cutest time for children.
Of course, the premise is that someone comes to clean up the consequences of his troubles, otherwise most people will die from exhaustion.
"I'm back." Su Yiyi held the plate and said, "Yushan is cooking in person today, and you are in for a treat."
"Really, that's good." Yang Wendong smiled, and then brought The son sat down at the dining table together, and then picked some simple food for his son to eat.
Soon, everyone in the Yang family gathered and dinner officially started.
Yang Wendong also informed about what happened in the past few days. Under normal circumstances, he would not hide some non-core top secrets of the company from his family, especially those that would be published in the newspapers soon and would be vigorously publicized. news.
Bai Yushan said: "This is really a big project that benefits the people. The water shortage during this period has become more and more serious. Even the swimming pool at the University of Hong Kong has been closed, and bathing has begun to be strictly restricted. Time.
My dad's decoration company also frequently stops work because many owners often have problems with the tap water in their homes. ”
“This is just the impact on business. "Yang Wendong added: "The most miserable people are the most ordinary people, especially those in Kowloon. They have no running water. Many of them use well water or go to distant ponds to fetch water. Now these are all gone. Looking for water. All difficult. ”
The drought in Hong Kong is from the middle of this year to the middle of next year, but it is actually targeted at ordinary residents living in Hong Kong Island. These people cannot be said to be the elite of Hong Kong, but at least they can be regarded as the middle class. Only when the water shortage affected them did they receive serious attention from the media, and the Hong Kong government began to come under tremendous pressure
But in fact, some poorer places had begun to lack water long ago, but they did not have the ability to express their plight, and outsiders did not know it.
Including Yang Wendong, who also started to carry out the Hong Kong-wide campaign in Oriental Daily. During the news investigation, these questions gradually appeared on his desk.
So many times, Yang Wendong also misses Douyin in his previous life. Although it has many shortcomings, it can spread many issues that no one pays attention to to the focus of society.
"Yes, if We are still living in squatters, and life is probably very uncomfortable now," Su Yiyi continued.
Yang Wendong said: "That's why I built this water storage base station. Otherwise, even if the Hong Kong government buys water, its priority will be the needs of Hong Kong's industry, economy, and real estate industry. They will definitely focus on Hong Kong Island or I have to find ways to help in several big towns in Kowloon and
other places.”
The Hong Kong government’s perspective must be to ensure that there are no problems with the economy or to maintain social stability. .
As for the poor people on the margins, they won't care much as long as mass deaths don't occur.
Su Yiyi smiled and said: "With multiple water storage base stations, and you can also transport water from the mainland, there should be basically no problem."
" Well, I hope so." Yang Wendong nodded: "My power is actually limited. The best way is to build a large canal in the mainland and transport water from the depths of the mainland to Hong Kong."
Regardless of what Yang Wendong did or the Hong Kong government spending a lot of money to buy water from the mainland, it can only be said to alleviate the drought and make people less uncomfortable.
To fundamentally solve the problem, we can only divert water to Hong Kong on a large scale. The essential reason is that under today's social environment, if Hong Kong, a place that is not suitable for building a metropolis, is built into a metropolis, then naturally There will be a lot of material supply issues.
Bai Yushan said angrily: "I know a little about this matter. I heard that the mainland has already put forward this opinion, but the Hong Kong government does not agree. It has made it clear that it is for its own purposes and does not care about the life or death of ordinary lower-class citizens."
"Isn't that what Hong Kong Britain is like?" Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "There's no need to care too much, we just have to do our own thing. There are some things that we can't change, so don't think too much about it."
Yang Wendong is basically not involved in ZZ's affairs, mainly because he knows the future and knows that it is useless for you to participate in many things. On the contrary, it is easy to get yourself involved, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Instead of wasting resources on this kind of thing, it is better to start from other directions and do this well.
The second day, Hong Kong China Daily Headquarters:
All the senior executives of the two major newspapers, Oriental and Hong Kong China, came to the conference room.
Qin Zhiye said on the rostrum of the conference room: "Everyone, the water storage base station launched by Yang Sheng this time can be said to be extremely important, not only for our newspaper, but also for Yang Sheng and the Hong Kong government. It is a great thing for thousands of ordinary people who are short of water;
I Our mission is to inform the whole of Hong Kong about this great act of charity by Yang Sheng. In addition, we must also let every family near the water storage base station know about this matter.”
"Buzz~" The people below began to discuss with each other, Qin Zhiye did not stop them, but waited.
After the meeting, Ye Botao, a supervisor in charge of the market, said: "Qin Sheng, for such a great charity, we will definitely do our best to spread it."
"Well, okay." Qin Zhiye nodded: "You can go to the Changxing Charity Foundation and ask their people to understand the specific situation. They will tell you some of the contents of the project;
But how to write the article in the best possible way? Well, it depends on our ability; the brother company has already done the work, so we have to do the publicity well."
"Understood." Several people expressed their opinions one after another, and then Ye Botao asked again. : "Qin Sheng, interview It’s easy to talk about everything with articles, but the problem is that many families don’t read newspapers and can’t afford them;
These people may be the most water-scarce group. We want to tell them that it is a bit difficult. No effort."
"It's okay." Qin Zhiye said: "Yang Sheng has agreed that the Changxing Charity Foundation will use a sum of funds to implement verbal notifications in some places with large populations and high concentrations of illiterates;
The people who use it are also recruited locally. One of them is familiar with the environment, and the other two can help some poor people, especially children. "
"Recruiting children to deliver messages? Good approach. "Ye Botao's eyes also lit up.
If you look for adults, this kind of work where the effect cannot be confirmed is likely to be lazy; but children are relatively better, although there is no guarantee that there will be no problem. .
And looking for adults is actually a waste of manpower, because They can do other things to make money, and if they give it to their children, it will allow a family to earn more living expenses.
Qin Zhiye said again: "Everyone, remember, this is not just a business, so. We will be tracking and reporting on this matter for a long time in the coming period, so please be prepared. ”
"Yes, I understand~~" Several people agreed.
They also have a little happiness on their faces. Anyone who can participate in such a good deed of helping others is happier.
At this time, Ye Botao asked again: "Qin Sheng, this incident is also helpful to Yang Sheng's reputation. It's just out of consideration for our Chinese culture. If we over-promote ourselves in our newspapers, Boss, isn’t it a bit too obvious?”
Others agreed after hearing this. Although it is true, it is indeed inconsistent with Chinese culture to over-promote oneself.
Qin Zhiye said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already considered this matter and discussed it with Yang Sheng. We, including the radio station, are only responsible for reporting the matter. As for Yang Sheng's evaluation, we Just be appropriate.
Ming Pao's Jin Yong will be the focus of this publicity. After the water storage station is built, Ming Pao will also go to interview him and he will comment on the matter. ”
“This is great. "Ye Botao nodded.
Jin Yong's reputation is known to many people in Hong Kong. Even if the articles he writes are not martial arts novels or related content, they are also liked by many people.
Let him do it Writing is also the best choice
May 30:
Oriental Daily first published a cover title: [Natural disasters are ruthless, but there is love in the world]
Under this article, there is a child about five or six years old. At this moment, he is looking at the one he is holding in his hand. There was a little water ripple in the broken bowl, and the expectant expression on his face made it obvious at a glance that he was seriously short of water. Hong Ning Road, Kwun Tong, next to a newsstand:
A middle-aged woman approached and then said to the newsstand owner: "Boss, here is the South China Morning Post, the English version."
"Okay." The newsstand owner said with a smile: "One dollar a piece."
"Why did the price increase? Wasn't it still 8 cents a few days ago?" the woman asked with a frown.
The boss said with a smile: "Miss, the housing prices in Hong Kong have increased two or three times in the past few years. Your wages have also increased one or two times, right? My newspaper has only increased by less than 30%. "It's not much, right?"
"But..." The woman didn't know what to say for a moment. It seemed that what the boss said made sense, but it was still too expensive for her.
The boss added: "English newspapers sell less, so the unit price is naturally high. You can also read Chinese newspapers, which are cheap, good quality, and the content is actually not bad.
For example, this A copy of Oriental Daily only costs 30 cents. It contains a lot of news, both from Hong Kong and international news. What do you think?”
"Oriental Daily, I've heard of this newspaper." The woman also looked at the Oriental Daily in the boss's hand.
【Natural disasters are ruthless, but there is love in the world】?
The title immediately attracted him, and then he said: "Then I will buy this one."
It is only thirty cents, which is nothing for a normal working white-collar worker. What.
"Okay." After collecting the money, the boss gave the newspaper to the customer and said, "This content is very good. After you read it, you will definitely feel emotional in your heart."
"Really?" The middle-aged woman didn't believe it.
Then he walked to the shade and opened the newspaper while enjoying the sea breeze.
The second page after opening is a report on the current drought: "Sometimes reporter Yang Liren reported: "For several consecutive months, no rain has fallen in Hong Kong, the water storage capacity of the reservoir has decreased sharply, and the water resources have become Extremely nervous.
In the fields, the rice fields are barren, the land is dry, the ponds are dry, and the waterless reservoirs are overgrown with weeds. Some people in Kowloon dug three feet into the ground in search of water, but they could only dig out yellow mud.
In some areas, water shortages have already occurred”
The content of the article is extremely true. In addition to the reporter's written description, it also comes with interviews from some people and photos of countless people surrounding some wells.
Looks extremely real.
“I didn’t expect the drought to be so serious.” After reading a paragraph, the middle-aged woman felt something in her heart.
She was in Hong Kong Island during this period, and she also knew that there was a problem with the water supply, because the water at home became very slow, which already made her feel very troubled. She wanted to wash clothes or take a bath. All need to wait for a long time.
But now after reading the newspaper, I realized that in other places, many people are almost out of water to drink. It is really miserable.
Next, she continued to read the following content, which focused on describing the cooperation between the Hong Kong Evergreen Charitable Foundation and the Hong Kong government to build reservoirs in ten locations on the Kowloon Peninsula to provide necessary livelihoods for nearby residents. Use water.
These water stations will be completed and provide fresh water in 2 months. There will be certain requirements and restrictions at that time to ensure that only those who need fresh water the most can get fresh water first.
"Ehangxing Charity Fund." The middle-aged woman also recalled the pitiful days when she was a child and lived in a squatter area.
If it weren’t for her father’s ability, she might have been unable to live without squatters in her life.
“I have to donate some money.” The middle-aged woman suddenly thought that at the end of this Oriental Daily article, the account of the Changxing Charity Fund was written.
Anyone who is willing to do charity can go to the bank to make a donation, but there is no way to specify a charity project for this kind of donation;
If you want to specify what type of charity, you have to go to the Changxing Charity website. Just make an on-site commission.
As soon as she thought of it, the middle-aged woman glanced at the other content and was not in a hurry to read it now, so she immediately hailed a taxi and headed towards Central.
Hong Kong, in a small office building in Central:
Jin Yong read the Oriental Daily News in his hand, folded it up and put it down, and said: "Yang Sheng is really powerful. This move, at least It can help hundreds of thousands of ordinary people who are seriously short of water.”
Shen Baoxin next to him said: "The method is a good method, but without enough financial resources and connections, how can it be done? There are not many people in Hong Kong who can do it.
Investing hundreds of millions to buy land Building pools and related equipment, and laying pipelines, obviously also require a relationship with the Hong Kong government. Otherwise, the water plant must be so cooperative?
There must be cargo ships to transport water, otherwise what is the use of all this? The Hong Kong government won’t give you water after it’s built? And then you still need manpower to maintain the on-site environment and the media to publicize it, otherwise not many people will know about it.”
“Yes.” Yong nodded: "As expected, it is still the same saying. If you want to achieve great things, it is useless to rely on fantasy. You have to put yourself into reality."
Shen Baoxin said: "No, the pen is also very useful. Refugees If you hadn’t withstood the pressure and reported it for a long time, the Hong Kong government would not have cared about it.”
"That's because I'm famous enough. Otherwise, if I did this, the Hong Kong government would immediately ban my Ming Pao." Jin Yong shook his head and said.
Since the beginning of the year, the number of refugees in Hong Kong has increased sharply. At first, the Hong Kong government did not care about this matter, as long as these people did not come to the bustling area, so they sent a large number of military and police to block the people on Wutong Mountain. .
Because there was no food and little water, their lives were miserable. Many media in Hong Kong did not report the matter. Only Jin Yong dared to go there. After full exposure, the Hong Kong government had to provide some basic information. survival supplies.
Shen Baoxin smiled and said: "Now Yang Wendong is also taking advantage of your fame and wants you to write an article about consecrating him."
"If he can really help hundreds of thousands of poor people, "People, I'm willing to write for him even if I don't need money." Jin Yong paused and said, "Besides, Yang Wendong didn't come forward, but he helped a lot, just in the dark."
Previously, Ming Pao publicly appealed to the Hong Kong government and the general public to help the refugees, and Yang Wendong has been sending multiple batches of truck food through the information provided by Ming Pao.
The two of them cooperated tacitly, and everything went smoothly afterwards.
Shen Baoxin nodded and said: "Well, it seems that Yang Wendong's essence is to help most poor people, whether in Hong Kong or the mainland;
It's just because his business is too big There are some things that he is too sensitive about, which will have a great impact, so he can only help secretly."
"Absolutely, I think so too" Jin Yong nodded: "That's it. The last time he helped Hong Kong solve the drought problem, he was fair and honest, and no one would say anything bad about it, so he stepped forward this time.”
Shen Baoxin added: "I can't say that, it will be the best if he stands up on this matter."
"Well, then we will add fuel to the flames." Jin Yong said: "I will also write An article to thoroughly explain this matter Make it clear, and also appeal to the public to donate. This is the most important thing."
Shen Baoxinye agreed: "Yes, although Yang Wendong is rich, the drought will last for a long time, so let him be alone. people last Investment is also very difficult;
The best way is to accept donations from the public. Only by solving the drought problem can the entire Hong Kong society develop together. Otherwise, if there is a long-term water shortage and problems with power generation and industry, then It’s all over.”
Jin Yong nodded: “Well, I will make this clear in the article. I guess many people don’t know the importance of fresh water in industry and economy.”< br>
