Wujiang Group's donations to domestic universities are not small, totaling approximately 5 billion RMB.
At that time, 5 billion RMB was a very valuable sum, and Wujiang Group's donation was a tremendous help to the university.
Moreover, the "industry-university-research" cooperation plan initiated by Wujiang Group has been progressing very smoothly, benefiting many universities. Among them, ten universities with strong electronic information engineering programs, such as Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Capital University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Capital University of Posts and Telecommunications, Zhejiang University, and Harbin Institute of Technology, have even established world-class laboratories with the help of Wujiang Group!
These universities have cultivated many outstanding talents for the country.
However, Wujiang Group has not been involved in the music industry much, so it has had relatively few collaborations with music academies.
After thinking it over, Zhao Ye decided to proceed with the original "industry-academia-research" cooperation plan, without needing to make additional donations to the university.
Universities are not actually short of money.
The schools that are truly short of funds are rural schools.
Around noon, Zhao Ye and Zhao Yue ate lunch in the school cafeteria.
There was a television set in the cafeteria, which was currently playing an advertisement.
A group of students watched and discussed the television, creating a very exciting scene.
Zhao Ye looked over and saw that CCTV-1 was broadcasting a public service advertisement.
"To ensure that no child in China will drop out of school due to poverty in the next century, the China Foundation solemnly launches the 'Dawn Project' to the public!"
The video showed many photos of children in rural schools attending classes. The dilapidated classrooms, the simple podium, the broken desks and chairs, and the group of children who had studied hard for years, dressed in tattered clothes, suffering from hunger and cold, with runny noses, stood to attend class. These scenes were so heartbreaking that they brought tears to people's eyes.
The final image freezes on the face of a girl with "big eyes".
"I never imagined that the conditions in rural primary schools in our country were so poor. Those children are so pitiful!" A rather emotional female college student said, her voice choked with emotion, her heart filled with sympathy.
Students who come to the music academy generally come from relatively well-off families; otherwise, they wouldn't choose to study music.
"Yes, it's so hard for children in the remote mountains to go to school! Classmates, let's start a campaign to call on everyone to donate money to Project Dawn! At the same time, let's let more people know about Project Dawn!"
"Okay! I support it!"
"I support it too!"
"..."
"Brother, those children are so pitiful. Could Wujiang Group donate some money to build a school for them?" Zhao Yue looked at her brother and pleaded.
Zhao Ye smiled and nodded, replying, "Don't worry, Wujiang Group will donate the money!"
Project Dawn was launched in 1989.
However, it was not well-known at the beginning of its development.
In 1992, a pair of "big eyes" from Jinzhai County, AH Province, caused a sensation across the country and became the symbol of Project Dawn!
A nationwide surge of donations to Project Dawn was sparked.
If Wujiang Group, as the largest enterprise in China, does not donate money, it will definitely cause controversy.
Wujiang Group not only wants to donate, but also wants to take the lead in donating and actively respond to the call. Donating to Project Dawn is itself a form of charity, which is worth doing and will also earn a good reputation.
Wealth is taken from the people (overseas) and used for the people (domestic).
Money is just a bunch of numbers. If Wujiang Group has so much money and doesn't spend it, it's a waste.
...
...
At around 3 p.m. that day, Xinjiang Group held a press conference.
Reporters from major domestic and international media outlets attended the press conference.
Everyone was surprised that Wujiang Group was suddenly holding a press conference at this time. What important thing did they want to announce?
At this moment, Fu Xiaoyue, spokesperson for Wujiang Group, slowly walked to the center of the stage, exchanged a few brief pleasantries with the reporters, and then got to the point.
"Mr. Zhao Ye, Chairman of Wujiang Group, often tells his employees that for a company to go far, it must first have a sense of social responsibility."
"Today, Mr. Zhao happened to see a public service advertisement for Project Dawn on TV. He was deeply moved and decided to donate 1 billion RMB to Project Dawn to do his part and help students in rural areas realize their dream of going to school!"
The words had barely left his mouth when they caused a huge reaction.
The reporters were buzzing with excitement.
One billion RMB is an astronomical figure in the country, and this donation will surely cause a national sensation!
Fu Xiaoyue then gestured for everyone to be quiet, and then said, "As the saying goes, 'It takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to cultivate a person.' Education is of paramount importance. As the largest private enterprise in China, Wujiang Group has an unshirkable responsibility to donate to education. By the way, perhaps many of you don't know the origin of the name Wujiang Group! Here, I can share this secret with you! Everyone here should have heard of Mr. Liang Qichao's 'A Discourse on Young China,' right?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Fu Xiaoyue paused slightly, then selected a passage from "A Young China's Manifesto," and spoke in a strong, rhythmic voice:
When the youth are wise, the nation is wise; when the youth are wealthy, the nation is wealthy.
A strong youth makes a strong nation; an independent youth makes an independent nation.
A nation is free when its youth are free; a nation progresses when its youth progress.
If the youth surpass Europe, the nation will surpass Europe; if the youth are the most powerful on Earth, the nation will be the most powerful on Earth.
After saying these few sentences, I'll skip directly to the end.
"Through the ages and across the vast expanse, the future is as boundless as the sea, and the days ahead are long. How beautiful is my young China, as timeless as the heavens! How magnificent are the youth of China, as boundless as the nation!"
