Chapter 143: Changes in the Foundation
“Although we are a public welfare foundation, we should have a clear purpose and direction of our own.”
"The main purpose of the old lady's donation projects was to promote the development of education, science and technology, and medical and health care in the country."
"It has been more than 30 years now, and society has been developing, but you are still continuing to implement these donation projects unchanged. Do you think it is appropriate?"
"Let's not talk about anything else. This Fu Runian Nursing Home has long been privatized. It charges high nursing fees to those who receive treatment every year, and we donate more than 100 million yuan in public welfare funds to them every year. I just want to know who actually got the more than 100 million yuan in public welfare funds."
"No one is doing this kind of simple information investigation? What else does the company need you for?"
…
After scolding everyone again, Meng Yitong asked them to cross out the items on the original donation plan one by one.
Everyone was very cooperative at first, but when Meng Yitong asked them to cross out the donation plans for foreign universities, some people finally lost their patience and started to protest.
"Mr. Meng, we have been cooperating with these universities for more than 10 years. If we suddenly cancel the subsequent donations now, wouldn't that be a bad idea?"
"What kind of cooperation?"
Meng Yitong raised her eyebrows in surprise. She had told Qin Zhuoran yesterday that she wanted to cancel her donations to foreign universities.
Qin Zhuoran did not express any disagreement at the time, and in Meng Yitong's view, it was just her own opinion.
Now this person says that these universities have cooperation with Qin’s.
If there really was a collaboration, why didn't Qin Zhuoran tell me yesterday?
Although Meng Yitong was confused in her heart, she remained calm and composed.
"These universities provide a large number of talents to our Qin Group every year, so we at Qin Group also have an obligation to give back to these universities."
Listening to this man's eloquent words, Meng Yitong rolled her eyes speechlessly.
What else did she think they were collaborating on?
That’s it?
Can this be called cooperation?
Given Qin's current size and treatment, there are many people who want to work for Qin.
Qin's willingness to hire talents from these universities can, in a sense, also increase the employment rate of these universities!
Others present also saw Meng Yitong's disapproving look, and someone immediately came out to suggest: "Mr. Meng, we also understand what you mean. Although patriotism is good, our Qin Group is originally a large international enterprise. We must not limit our vision to our own country."
"Yes, as a large international multinational company, our stance must be global."
…
Others also started to persuade her. From now on, Meng Yitong has cancelled almost all of her overseas donation projects.
It’s okay what happened before, but now the annual donations to these top universities have been cancelled. What should those whose children are still studying in these universities do?
This is something they absolutely cannot accept, and this is the main reason why everyone came together to persuade them.
Meng Yitong just chuckled when she heard this, and then asked calmly, "Who said I only cancel donations to foreign universities? I am also going to cancel donations to domestic universities as well."
"ah?"
"ah?"
…
Now everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"But, but Mr. Meng, if this is the case, how can our foundation donate every year?"
The chairman is really anxious now.
He could take whatever Mr. Meng said to him before as a reprimand.
But if Mr. Meng really intends to cancel all these donation plans, then does that mean their foundation no longer needs to exist?
What about these people?
What about those people who have been fighting with Qin for most of their lives?
If Meng Yitong knew what the chairman was thinking, she would definitely sneer at him.
Just them? Do you still have the nerve to call it a struggle?
Meng Yitong, who was unaware of everyone's confusion, said calmly, "We can't do charity just for the sake of doing charity. The money that Qin's company sends us every year doesn't necessarily have to be spent in the same year."
"The purpose of our charity work should be to make this society develop better and more harmoniously."
"If this goal cannot be achieved, then the project is optional."
"Similarly, when we choose donation projects and donation forms, we should choose methods that are more conducive to promoting social development."
"So I plan to cancel the direct donations to colleges and universities every year and use the money to set up scholarships and grants to improve the learning and living conditions of those outstanding students."
"As for those overseas universities, the schools themselves already have high scholarships, so I don't need to provide any additional funds."
"As for those who can't get this kind of scholarship, they can go abroad to study in these schools, which means they don't lack the money. So there is no need for us to set up scholarships in these foreign universities."
"But, but there are still many students from abroad, and they are also very poor..."
Looking at Meng Yitong's cold eyes, the speaker's voice gradually became lower.
After a whole morning, how could they still not understand what Mr. Meng meant?
Although Ms. Meng did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that she only planned to spend the money domestically.
Those high-sounding reasons are just an excuse made by President Meng to the outside world.
If they continue to refute, then they really should just pack up and go back.
Everyone took a break at noon, and then continued the discussion for the whole afternoon.
By the evening, only a small part of the donation projects for the second half of the year were sorted out. As for the rest, President Meng directly instructed the External Relations Director to prepare a list of projects to be donated and submit it every week.
The heads of other departments also need to give their opinions and work plans based on this list.
Meng Yitong's request directly increased their workload several times.
But no one dared to complain.
They knew very well that if they dared to disobey, Mr. Meng would replace them at will.
The chairman of the board is a lesson for them.
Although President Meng has not yet removed the chairman, she has placed an office director position next to the chairman.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this person was the one she chose to take over the job of chairman.
As long as the chairman makes a mistake, President Meng can immediately let this person replace the chairman's job.
In the evening, Meng Yitong returned to the Qin family feeling relaxed.
Just as she was about to go upstairs, Meng Yitong was stopped by someone.
When Meng Yitong saw Mrs. Qin with a gloomy face sitting on the sofa, she was a little surprised.
Ever since she became pregnant, Mrs. Qin basically avoided her. Why are you waiting for me here today?
After a brief thought, Meng Yitong roughly guessed the reason.
Sure enough, before Meng Yitong could speak, Mrs. Qin couldn't wait to ask: "Why did you ask the auditor to go to the foundation?"
Mrs. Qin has been feeling uneasy ever since she received the call in the morning.
Mrs. Qin really didn't expect that Meng Yitong would be so hateful.
Obviously, Qin's father had already dealt with the matter, but Meng Yitong was still holding on to it.
She did it on purpose.
Mrs. Qin looked at Meng Yitong hatefully.
Meng Yitong, who had only slight doubts before, could not help but guess the actual situation when she saw Mrs. Qin's reaction.
Although I felt good seeing Mrs. Qin looking frightened.
But Meng Yitong didn't dare to force Mrs. Qin into a corner.
It would be terrible if Madam Qin became desperate and did something to hurt her.
After all, she is a pregnant woman now, and her whole body is full of weaknesses.
When she was at the foundation, she was accompanied by two bodyguards!
But now, she is alone, so she should be careful with her words!
Meng Yitong thought about it, and chuckled to Madam Qin, "Auntie Wang, don't worry. This audit is our internal audit. Even if we find out, as long as he is willing to return the stolen money and pay compensation, we can let it go."
After Meng Yitong finished speaking, she turned around and went upstairs without caring about Mrs. Qin's reaction.
