Chapter 227: It’s Big
After the snow, Seoul seems to be a little more holy, but also a little colder.
Chengjun Residence, Changxin, Chengbei District.
Carrying a bunch of keys, Shen Wuguo walked through the entrance hall and walked into his living room.
In the not very spacious living room, a woman wearing a light blue house dress was pacing back and forth between the sofa and the floor-to-ceiling window with a baby in her arms.
Seeing Shen Wuguo come out of the entrance, the woman smiled at him, put a finger to her lips, and let out a slight shush.
Shen Wuguo understood this. He moved gently and carefully put the key in his pocket. Then he changed his shoes and walked towards the woman softly.
This house is not Shen Wuguo's real home, but his "outside house". The woman is not his wife, but his lover, but the swaddled baby is real. It's his son, his only son.
Different from those playboys who indulge in beauty all day long, although Shen Wuguo does not like the real wife at home, he likes the lover who gave birth to a son for him. If he were not afraid of being raped by his father, If he had broken his leg, he would have dealt with the woman in his family who liked to make trouble unreasonably, and then married this woman named Chen Shuyuan back home.
Walking to the woman's side, Shen Wuguo glanced at his infant son. Seeing that the little guy was sleeping soundly, he lowered his head slightly and kissed his tender forehead.
The child slept lightly. After being disturbed by him, his eyelids moved slightly, and then his dark eyes opened a slit.
Shen Wuguo was startled, and Chen Shuyuan also glared at him. Fortunately, the child did not wake up. His eyes only opened slightly and then closed again. Not only that, He also opened his mouth and let out a big yawn.
Seeing the child's mouth smashing, a bunch of small bubbles squirming out from between the pink lips, Shen Wuguo smiled, leaned over again, kissed Chen Shuyuan on the cheek, and then looked towards He pointed in the direction of the spiral staircase on the right.
Chen Shuyuan understood what he meant and just nodded, then she started walking again with her child in her arms.
Climbing to the side of the spiral staircase, Shen Wuguo glanced in the direction of the woman again, and then climbed the spiral staircase upstairs.
Chengjun Residence is not a high-end residential area. However, Shen Wuguo bought the upper and lower floors of this house and turned it into a duplex after simple renovations. On the downstairs floor, there are living rooms, kitchens, dining rooms, etc., while upstairs are study rooms and bedrooms.
Up to the second floor, Shen Wuguo went directly to his study. He closed the door of the study tightly, then walked to the desk, turned on the computer on the desk, and made himself a cup of tea. Then he walked around behind the desk, lit a cigarette for himself, and sat on the chair behind the desk.
After taking two puffs on the cigarette, he moved the mouse, selected an icon on the desktop with an abstract NGN letter LOGO on a yellow background, and double-clicked it.
Soon, a login interface popped up on the desktop, which was the login interface of the NGN software.
Shen Wuguo selected his account number in the drop-down menu in the account column, then entered his password and hit Enter to log in to the software.
Soon, the software logged in successfully. Before he could check his friend information, a pop-up window appeared in the middle of the desktop. This was a pop-up window launched by NGN software some time ago. In Shen Wuguo's view, it was really annoying.
Just when he wanted to close the pop-up window directly, a piece of content in the pop-up window jumped into his eyelids: "You and I will guard the blue sea and blue sky together."
So big There is only this line of text on a pop-up window, and the blurred background behind it is a map of South Korea, but there is a dark stain in the lower left corner of the map of South Korea.
With curiosity, Shen Wuguo clicked on the link in the pop-up window, and then a page popped up. I wonder if it was because of the slow Internet speed at home. It took a long time to open the web page. It took about six or seven seconds for the entire page to be displayed.
The moment the page came out, Shen Wuguo frowned involuntarily, because this page had no beauty at all. The entire page was only in black and white, and it looked like an obituary page. The same, and at the top of the page, there is an eye-catching number. The last few digits of this number are still changing, and it seems that this number is getting bigger and bigger.
After taking a puff of cigarette, Shen Wuguo took a closer look. He found that the number had a title, which was the so-called "Current Number of Volunteer Registrations." When he counted the number again, it turned out to be "73497."
At this time, Shen Wuguo really regained his patience. He read the webpage from beginning to end, and then figured out what the content of this webpage was. There is no doubt that this is a "volunteer action initiative" launched by NGN Software in the name of its company. The specific content is: The crude oil leaked in the waters of Tai'an County is spreading to a wider range along the entire coastal waters, and it is causing huge damage to the entire Yellow Sea area near the peninsula. In order to quickly curb the spread of crude oil, reduce losses as much as possible, and save a large number of fishing grounds in the sea area, NGN is willing to invest 5 billion won in purchasing oil booms, suction machines, oil skimmers and other equipment around the world. At the same time , seeking volunteers nationwide.
There are several links on the entire page, including predictions of the impact of crude oil pollution, interviews with fishermen in contaminated fisheries, current volunteer distribution maps, channels for charity donations, and a list of public accounts, etc. Wait, wait.
Shen Wuguo remembers clearly that when he went to work at the bank in the morning, this pop-up window was not there yet. Up to now, in just one morning, the number of volunteers who signed up through the pop-up window had exceeded seven Thousands of people.
He tried clicking on the volunteer registration portal, and was surprised to find that if he wanted to sign up as a volunteer, he had to register, and it required detailed personal identity registration. The process was quite cumbersome.
Clicking on the charity donation page again, Shen Wuguo found that there were currently seven or eight companies providing donations or material donations to this volunteer initiative.
After chewing his teeth, Shen Wuguo felt that there was something in this event. The key is that the Blue House has not yet made rescue arrangements for the oil spill, but An Rusong and his NGN have. Having organized such a charity event first, isn't he afraid that if he jumps too high or too hastily, he will be attacked by the Cheong Wa Dae?
He looked at the cell phone he had put aside before, intending to call An Rusong, but after thinking about it, he gave up in the end.
At the same time, in the chairman's office of NGN Company, An Rusong put down the landline phone on his desk, tore off the note paper that he had just recorded, handed it to Jiang Xiuyuan who was standing beside him, and said: " Register this too and I’ll deal with it later.”
The phone call I just hung up was from Moon Eui-cheol, the director of the KD Transportation Group Chairman’s Office. On behalf of the KD Transportation Group, he expressed to An Rusong that they were happy to respond to this public welfare action and were preparing to temporarily conduct public welfare activities throughout Seoul. Within 20 days, 200 buses were allocated specifically for transporting volunteers to Tai'an County.
Of course An Rusong would not refuse such a thing. On the contrary, he really wanted it.
In his previous conception with Han Meiyan, once this event was launched, the number of volunteers who would eventually sign up should reach tens of thousands. In this way, the entire event would be considered a great success. .
But who would have thought that less than a morning after the call for the entire event was issued, the number of volunteers who signed up through the website had already exceeded 70,000, and this number continues to rise. .
One point that must be emphasized here is that in order to ensure the accuracy and completeness of volunteer information registration, NGN Company has specially developed a temporary registration database. If an NGN software user wants to register as a volunteer If you are a foreigner, you need to register detailed personal information, including name, home address, contact information, and 13-digit resident registration number.
In a place like South Korea, people who can complete this cumbersome registration process are at least more likely to really want to participate in this event.
If this trend continues, it is estimated that by this time tomorrow, the number of registered volunteers is really expected to exceed 200,000.
Two hundred thousand volunteers!
How big is this? To put it bluntly, this is a repeat of the grand occasion in 1998 when all the people donated gold to fight the economic crisis.
But what An Rusong didn't know was that in his previous life, because of the oil spill, half a million volunteers in South Korea participated in the oil clean-up operation. Moreover, these volunteers did not yet have a unified organization at that time. They were entirely instigated by small and medium-sized environmental protection organizations.
When things got to this point, An Rusong realized that something was wrong, because with the current scale and capabilities of NGN Company, he simply could not support such a large-scale charity operation.
Not to mention the 200,000 volunteers who are likely to appear tomorrow, even if there are more than 70,000 volunteers now, he cannot organize them.
Because even if these volunteers do not need NGN Company to arrange vehicles for transportation, they do not need NGN Company to provide logistical support such as food and tents. They only need a set of waterproof clothing with cold protection effect, and those used to Special equipment and equipment for cleaning oil stains are not provided by NGN Company.
An Rusong had only planned supplies to supply the needs of 10,000 people before, but now the number of people suddenly increased twenty times, how could he be able to support it?
Is it possible to organize more than ten or two hundred thousand people to go to the beach to enjoy the breeze? In that case, this charity event conducted by NGN will really become the laughing stock of the world.
Now, the only way is to stop the recruitment of volunteers and limit the number of people to 10,000 people. But in that case, even if the normal event is successfully held, it will still be criticized.
