After entering midsummer, especially after students started their summer vacation, every household in Kyoto was bustling with activity, because the Asian Games were about to be held in Kyoto. A total of more than 30 countries would participate in this sports feast, and China had sent more than 600 athletes. The capital city suddenly became lively, with propaganda slogans and banners hung all over the streets and alleys, and lights and decorations hung at the doors of various shops. People who gathered at the entrances of alleys and small parks every day were talking about this event.
Although Chen Ziyi is only a junior high school student, he is already 1.72 meters tall and is the best among his peers. Because of his good looks, height advantage, and his strong foreign language skills, he was selected by the school to join the student team to welcome foreign friends and athletes, and also invited them to participate in the opening ceremony as a student team.
This will be broadcast live on TV and will be shown in front of hundreds of millions of viewers across the country. It is not only an opportunity, but more of an honor. Every child in the family is included, including the youngest follower Peng Zixin. Every day, he has to watch his brother wearing special costumes to attend rehearsals. He is sent out in the morning and welcomed in the evening.
The location of the Asian Games Village is also very special. It was originally a garbage dump in the northern suburbs, and suddenly the entire village was demolished. This was also the first time that everyone realized that "demolition makes people rich."
It is no exaggeration to say that this Asian Games was hosted with the efforts of the entire country. The government finally allocated 700 million yuan, but this was far from enough. The competition venues had to be built, the Asian Games Village had to be built, equipment had to be purchased, and the athletes' three meals a day, food, clothing, housing and transportation had to be arranged, including meals and clothes for the volunteers. All of these things required money.
The person in charge of the Sports Bureau looked at the bill. The road construction and venue construction had already used up most of the funds approved by the higher authorities. So many things to do later would require another three to five hundred million yuan to solve the problem.
How and where the money comes from is a matter that weighs heavily on his mind.
In just a few days, a person who is not even fifty years old looks several years older.
When she received the donation notice, Shen Anning, who had been busy for almost a month, finally realized that the Asian Games would begin in two months.
"Hey, Sister An Ning, what do you think about donations? How much should we donate?"
The people in the hospital are all colleagues, most of whom are ordinary people who changed their destiny through studying. Shen Anning will definitely not donate too much. How much her family donates is a private matter. She must consider her colleagues when donating in the hospital.
"Let's wait a moment and see how much the dean and vice dean above donated." As a junior director, Shen Anning planned to see how much the senior brother donated, and she would deduct a part from the senior brother's donation.
People like the director and the president have high salaries, and they also receive scientific research subsidies, so the salaries of doctors in hospitals are considered high in the entire industry. Nowadays, coal miners, who have the hardest and most tiring jobs, earn less than 200 yuan a month.
Before leaving get off work in the evening, Shen Anning went to the hospital office. The finance department had not yet left work, so it was not surprising to see her come in. "Director Shen, it's time to get off work."
"Yeah, it's a good opportunity for me to come over and see how much everyone donated."
"The two deans are each 500, Elder Cheng is 1,000, and several department heads are 300."
Hearing this, Shen Anning had an idea. The director of her group should have donated 300 yuan. "Okay, then I'll donate 200 yuan. Please write it down for me. Here, this is the money. You can keep it."
"Okay, I'll make a note of it for you."
The hospital received a notice to donate, not to mention other government agencies. At the beginning of this year, Director Fang was promoted and went to the ministry, and Cao Jingheng naturally took the position of director of the general bureau. In addition, everyone in Beijing knows that with my family background, I definitely cannot donate too little.
"Chief, you're donating two thousand, right? Isn't that a bit too much?" Police officers generally receive various subsidies and bonuses, but even so, that's the annual income of an ordinary police officer. This is a top-down effect...
"Only you know that I donated 2,000 yuan. You don't have to say so much to others. We all have families and jobs, with elderly parents and young children to take care of. I understand all this. You should also go out and persuade them not to be stubborn and to focus on their own families first." There is really no need to spend the food money for several mouths in the family just for the sake of face.
It is said that there is no shortage of smart people in the world, but the majority are not smart. In recent years, the housing problem in Beijing has become increasingly tense. With the advent of the market economy, the efficiency of many state-owned factories has become worse and worse. Many workers work during the day and set up stalls at night, and there is less and less hope of getting a house. However, how can you buy a house without tens of thousands of yuan now? So many elderly people really regret it. They waited for a house when the house prices were cheap a few years ago. As they waited, the money depreciated and they could not afford a house. Cao Jingheng alone knew that there were still many people in the police station where three generations lived together in two houses in a large courtyard.
When the finance department heard him say this, they understood what he meant. "Okay, Director, I'll go out and spread the word now."
When it comes to donating money at work, you just have to follow the crowd, but with so many factories, shops, and companies at home, the donations are not just a few hundred or a few thousand.
Grandpa Cao is now in charge of the company's general direction and also serves as the president of a business association. He was not surprised at all when the leaders of the Sports Bureau came to him.
Just by looking at the situation this year, he could roughly calculate how much money would be needed. There were several children from families in the alleys who were volunteering. According to them, there were about 200,000 to 300,000 volunteers this year. Some of them were spontaneous volunteers, and some were selected by higher authorities. The lunch included both meat and vegetables, and all this cost money.
"Grandpa, I came here today to be honest with you. We are indeed facing financial difficulties. This time, I would like to ask you to take the lead and help raise some funds." After speaking, the leader sat down on the chair. The money was not enough, and he also thought that this was the first time that China hosted a large-scale international event and it must not be embarrassing.
Grandpa Cao is a representative of the patriotic community, so he is naturally concerned about the Asian Games. In fact, their chamber of commerce has already met several times, and they all talked about making some contribution to the Asian Games.
"Director Li, don't worry. We've got the money ready for you. This is what everyone has handed over to me. Take a look. This might not be enough, so we'll help you raise more later. This is our country's chance to make a splash, and we have to make a splash, don't you think?"
Looking at the check and account book in my hand, more than 200 million, my God, more than 200 million, this is raised by merchants here in Beijing, it is really too important.
"Grandpa, this..."
"Hey, I haven't finished what I was saying yet. We're all paying for this, but you have to help with the advertising too, right? You have to put some ads on the seats and other things in this venue for us merchants."
Without thinking, Director Li agreed. Compared with so much money, the advertisement was really not worth mentioning.
