Chapter 39: The Coat of Charity
Enterprises are very realistic. How much return you bring to them will be the corresponding reward. There is a very strong positive correlation between
.
That’s why the Gates Foundation can offer a sky-high price of five million US dollars. This price is a sky-high price for Bavandi, let alone a doctoral student. If he doesn’t help companies, According to some research, it is impossible to earn this annual salary on a university salary.
Chen Yuanguang is very curious about what the Gates Foundation’s so-called global health project does.
After Lin Jia returned from China, Lin Jia was talking about what he had seen in China and the differences in the granularity of government management between China and Western countries.
“Yuan Guang, to be honest, China’s mobilization ability is amazing. In the process of responding to the virus, China’s management granularity can be refined down to every street and every community.
If this is a time of war, this is a very terrifying war potential, which means that we can mobilize every organization at the lowest level.
The countries in Europe and the United States can manage cities at most, and this is not just. It’s just a matter of political form, but it’s also a matter of cultural core.”
Because before the virus, it was very difficult for Lin Jia to charter a flight back to the country. After she returned, she found that China had gradually recovered. It's back to normal and seems to be under good control.
She was thinking about why the West didn't learn from China's problem-solving methods. Later, thinking about her experiences on the streets of Paris, London, and Berlin, Lin Jia realized that it wasn't that she didn't want to learn, but that they couldn't do it because of their form.
Even for America, only core developed cities such as New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles can have such mobilization ability and willingness.
Chen Yuanguang listened quietly to Lin Jia's story about returning to China. After the other party finished speaking, he began to talk about the offers he had received and the countermeasures.
“I did not directly reject the offer from the Gates Foundation, but said that I would consider it again.
What do you think of the title, treatment and pie they offered?”
After Lin Jia returned to China, she kept seeing news about Chen Yuanguang in China, including her friends who often sent her WeChat messages to express their envy that she had found a scholar.
After listening to Chen Yuanguang's words, she realized that as the center of the storm, the impact received by the other party was dozens of times greater than hers.
“The Gates Foundation provided this money. They are very, very profitable companies. Don’t treat them as charitable organizations.
I had one when I was at Columbia last year. The topic is to study charitable organizations around the world. The Gates Foundation is very large. They donate billions of dollars every year, and last year, in 2019, their annual revenue exceeded 30 billion euros.
They are a behemoth themselves, and through the guise of charity, they are fully capable of helping you run the Nobel Prize
I think it’s possible for you to eat the pie they painted.
Because if you sign a contract with them, your ability is the most important. They think you have great potential and think you can theoretically help them.
At the same time, the Gates Foundation definitely hopes that their global health project will have a gimmick and a hot spot for hype.
While promoting in underdeveloped areas, our chief scientist is a giant in the scientific community and the youngest Nobel Prize winner in modern times.
As for helping you run the Nobel Prize, their annual donations to scientific research institutions around the world start at US$1 billion, and they have been doing this for more than 20 years. The same thing is spending money. You pay taxes, and the government helps you spend the money. The decision-making power is not in your hands. When public universities receive money, they will think that it is an allocation from the government, and it is a matter of course.
And when you spend your money to avoid taxes under the guise of charity, you have the final say as to which organization and project you donate to. You hold the power to allocate resources, corresponding to the organization that obtains these resources. , projects, and people naturally have to recognize this 'favor'.
In China, where this method of playing is not yet so mature, this is a favor. In countries such as Europe and the United States, where charity operations are very mature, this is a contract, not a contract, but a contract.
If Foundation A donates money to you and you do not give you the due return, then not only A will no longer give you money in the future, but other foundations will also stop donating. It is stronger than a contract. "
After listening to it, Chen Yuanguang was surprised by the advanced European and American gameplay. He had a feeling that it was like this. He felt that Lin Jia knew a lot, so he asked curiously: "Is the population control plan that is going viral on the Internet true?
Is the Gates Foundation truly charitable or does it want to control the population of the third world? ”
As a former Internet article author, Chen Yuanguang is very interested in this type of conspiracy theory.
Lin Jia said: “I don’t know, my point of view is that charity must be true. If it is False evidence has long been exposed.
The Prism Project can be exposed. If the Gates Foundation has shady information, the Western media will definitely not let him go.
As for population control, I think it also has this purpose. I just want to say that the way I think it is achieved is different from the way conspiracy theories think it is achieved.
What they may be thinking is that some people can live to be eighty years old, and some people can live to be forty years old. Then they use a series of means to help those who can live to be eighty years old, and if you live to eighty years old, you can only live four years. If you are ten years old, I will let you die early at the age of twenty.
This is also population control. Through layers of screening, only longevity and healthy genes survive in a certain area, and then the secret to extending life is found in these genes.
I probably have a similar purpose in looking for you. I think you have a rare talent in the field of biological computing, and I hope you can help them continue to solve the mystery of human lifespan. "
Lin Jia continued: "The rich people in Europe and the United States are much more obsessed with longevity than the rich in China. The rich in China only want to live longer by burning incense and worshiping Buddha. Donating to hospitals and laboratories is already very important. It’s rare.
The richest people in the West like nothing more than to donate to hospitals and biological experimental institutions, and even personally serve as test subjects for longevity research projects. ”
Chen Yuanguang was thinking, wouldn't a future with an average life expectancy of 120 years be a paradise for modern society?
In modern times, technology that can further extend life span through hibernation will probably drive these rich people crazy.
Seeing Chen Yuanguang thinking, Lin Jia continued: "The Gates Foundation's global health project is the most important direction of their entire charitable donations, accounting for about 30%.
Have you ever thought about where you want to go in the future? Should you stay in a university here, go back to a university in China, or do you have other ideas? "
Chen Yuanguang thought for a while, He plans to reveal some of his true thoughts to Lin Jia: "I currently want to start a business.
I want to start a business in some cutting-edge technologies, such as materials science and biology, but I haven’t decided on the specific direction yet. I haven’t decided whether to return to China or start a business here. ”
