Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2339: A Word to Clear Up Doubts

"Mr. Ji, we know that your company is already very big. There are also many large companies in China, but we rarely see large domestic companies doing charity work. Large foreign companies, such as Microsoft, will establish their own charity funds and set aside a fixed amount of money every year to give back to society. Do entrepreneurs in our country lack such courage?"

"We respect domestic entrepreneurs, but I don't think our entrepreneurs have the courage of foreign entrepreneurs. As an entrepreneur, can you explain how our entrepreneurs think?"

A girl in exquisite attire was holding the microphone. The vice-principal already felt a little regretful at this time. The thinking of today's students has become so confused that it is scary. The other party subconsciously looked at Ji Donglai.

Ji Donglai was not affected. Instead, he picked up his watch and clicked it. A document appeared on the big screen.

"This is the asset status of these super-rich people abroad. The one we see is Gates, whom you just mentioned. In 2004, his personal assets exceeded 466 billion US dollars. I am talking about his net worth."

"There is something called inheritance tax in the United States. The tax-free amount is $13600000 million. If the amount exceeds this amount, children or relatives must pay a 40% tax to the federal tax department. We calculated based on Gates' net worth in 2004. If she wants to give this $466 billion to her children, she will have to pay nearly $230 billion in taxes!"

"If you set up a personal charity fund, let a professional team run it, hire your own relatives and children to work in it, and the annual salary income does not exceed $11925, the tax rate is only 10%! But there is one thing here, these people work in the company, and the company can reimburse them for everything from buying pants to cosmetics."

"They may only earn $11924 a year, but their spending can be $466 or even $ million, which the company calculates as shipping costs. As for the amount they set aside for charity each year, it will never exceed %. How much is one thousandth of billion? More than a million."

"The total tax rate will never exceed 0.01%! Ladies and gentlemen, I have been saying one thing: college students should be able to think independently, rather than being led by others! Today at NPU, I feel very sad because students from such an excellent university do not have the ability to think independently! Many things are now public, but you are not willing to check them out, but just follow what others say."

"Similarly, I am also a Chinese private entrepreneur! Let's take a project in China as an example. Before we targeted poverty alleviation in Yakou Village, the young people there were working outside and could only spend a dozen days a year with their families. We invested in a juice factory locally and hired all local young people."

"The profits are rolled into the Yakou Village School, and the profits are distributed as dividends at a fixed point every year. With the surplus, we renovated the school, developed agricultural tourism, built a photovoltaic project on the mountain, and maintained the martyrs' cemetery on the mountain. We turned the dirt road in the village into an asphalt road, installed street lights, and hired young teachers for the school..."

Ji Donglai displayed his investment in Yakou Village in the form of a table on the big screen. Every expense was listed clearly. For targeted training, all expenses for these students from elementary school to university are paid for by the village's enterprises.

Then these children achieved results outside and reported back to the village.

Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing has invested over 100 million yuan in the village over the years, and the results have been very obvious. Now the status of Yakou Village School has surpassed that of Maotanchang Middle School.

A total of more than 500 college students have been trained, many of whom are now backbone members of the country's key scientific and technological departments.

There were students from Yakou Village School at the scene. They raised their hands and everyone's eyes were focused on them.

"I can prove that what Mr. Ji said is true. I grew up in Yakou Village. I was covered in dirt on sunny days and mud on rainy days. Now we go back to the village on smooth asphalt roads. We have everything! Mr. Ji's contribution to society is real, not Gates' slogan-like charity."

The student who got the microphone spoke to the camera. At this time, Ji Donglai also leaned over and said a few words in the principal's ear, his disappointment difficult to conceal in his words.

Among today's college students, especially those with high education, confusion and disorder have become the mainstream. No one is willing to deconstruct concepts independently, and everyone just follows the crowd.

The vice-principal was also very embarrassed at this time. He didn't expect that the group of people he was proud of were at this level.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji! I made you laugh!"

The vice principal held Ji Donglai's hand, his eyes filled with pain.

"It's OK. I believe our college students may be the best in the industry in terms of professional ability, but their minds are too messy to be any messier. This is the case at Northwestern University, and other universities in the country are not much better. We will carefully consider hiring these talents. People with biased ideas and superficial understanding will cause problems at work."

After a brief handshake with the principal, Ji Donglai returned to the backstage and pushed the teacher away.

Teacher Yu looked at Ji Donglai's expression and hurriedly helped Ji Donglai wipe the corner of his mouth.

"Dongla, are you angry?"

After becoming the class teacher, Teacher Yu still understood Ji Donglai.

"Not really. Information is becoming more and more developed, but young people are becoming more and more helpless. It's worrying that none of them seek to understand everything. We were the same back then, but we soon found our own direction. Today's children are far more capable of acquiring junk information than useful information."

"Moreover, those who are complacent and can get the microphone are all representatives of a group. Such confused thinking will only make these people tools! The sad thing is that they are still unaware of it." Thinking of the current situation, Ji Donglai knew that he needed to do something for the entire enterprise before retiring.

Especially newly hired highly educated talents, otherwise these people may become time bombs for the company at any time.

In this way, the group rushed back to Yakou Village overnight and held a grand bonfire party at Ji Donglai's home.

Xiaoyue was called from the research institute by Ji Donglai, who specially examined Teacher Yu's pulse. After three pulses and nine palpates, Xiaoyue's face did not look very good, so she motioned Ji Donglai to come out with him.

"Heart failure. Teacher Yu must have been wearing a pacemaker for a long time. This thing has a very big impact on a person's health and overdrafts a person's life."

"In fact, the probability of death from cardiac arrest is generally low. In very rare cases, there will be a case of false death, which can basically be recovered as long as appropriate exercise and acupuncture can be used to regulate the body."

"A pacemaker stimulates the heart with electric current, making it beat at an extremely fast speed. Mr. Yu's heart muscle has reached the point of exhaustion. The family members should be prepared. There is nothing we can do!"

Xiaoyue put away the medical equipment and said that she could do nothing to help.

Ji Donglai felt extremely sad. Teacher Yu's heart disease was an old problem, said to be congenital. He had installed a pacemaker as early as the first batch.

This batch of pacemakers is unable to control the amount of electric current. Every time they detect that the heart has stopped beating, they will send out a continuous electric current to continuously shock the patient until the device detects that the body has returned to normal.

Because everyone's physical condition is different, there is no regularity in such electric shocks. Many patients cannot bear the electric shocks and eventually choose to remove their pacemakers or even commit suicide.

Teacher Yu had an extremely strong willpower and waited until the next generation of artificial pacemaker was designed, but the permanent damage to his heart had already occurred, which was irreversible.

According to Mr. Yu's physical condition and family situation, he should live longer.

"Don't be sad, Donglai. We have only been here once, and we have something to prove that we are here. It's enough to teach you students and help the country build a lot of things. I have nothing to regret. Don't be sad. I have let it go."

Knowing that he could no longer hide it, Teacher Yu faced Ji Donglai calmly and comforted him directly without waiting for Ji Donglai to speak.

On the contrary, Ji Donglai felt a little worried. He originally thought that Xiaoyue might be able to turn the situation around, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.

"Teacher, there is a new technology in the Four-Dimensional Life Gate Company that can achieve human body freezing. Our One-Yuan Medical's technology is still improving. I am a shareholder, so maybe we can give it a try."

"The progress of world medicine has been remarkable in recent years. Maybe in a few years we will be able to obtain new technologies and overcome what you need. Do you want me to make a phone call and try it out?"

Looking at the head teacher, Ji Donglai took out his phone.

The only people who can be called Ji Donglai's life mentor are Mr. Tu and Mr. Yu.

Many times, Teacher Yu protected Ji Donglai like a mother. Even when he was abroad, when Ji Donglai really encountered difficulties, Teacher Yu would arrange someone to express condolences. If the problem really involved the above, the other party would even call directly.

"Dongli, take it easy. Birth, aging, illness and death are the laws set by nature. We cannot change the laws of history because of our greed. My family has a hereditary heart disease. My father died before he was fifty. I have lived past sixty. There is nothing I am dissatisfied with."

"I've been through a lot of things that you haven't. When the natural disaster hit, my family's heads were so swollen that many people thought we would starve to death. But we managed to survive, and I'm very content."

"At a time when food was in short supply across the country, we were able to eat the rationed food and all the children in our families were saved. It was very difficult. The children who grew up in the countryside with me moved around and some did not survive that year."

"Life is getting better and better, and my perception of life is different. I came back once a few years ago and visited the old alleys on Qianmen Street. Many of the old sisters have passed away, and many people still live in those small houses."

"It's a lifetime, there's no need to be too demanding! When the pacemaker shocked me, it was very uncomfortable. If my child hadn't been married at the time and I was worried about her not being able to accompany me, I would have died a long time ago. The end of life is a relief for me..."

When Teacher Yu said these words, there was a faint smile on his face. Ji Donglai was shocked and tried hard to suppress the urge to cry.
