Yan Guofeng had a general understanding of it, but not a complete understanding; he occasionally listened to the business done by his eldest grandson, but he did not know everything about the operations and other matters, so he had no say in this regard.
Sighing and nodding, Yan Guofeng said, "I know you're well-informed and have invested a lot of money. The foundation can use other methods to provide charitable support. The money you two have invested can only help a few people."
"Grandpa, do you mean fundraising?" Yan Rushan thought of this as soon as the old man mentioned it.
"Fundraising is the way to long-term development," said Yan Guofeng.
Yan Rushan nodded. "That's true. The entire foundation can only rely on the dividends from Yuxiu and I for a few years, but it's not a long-term solution. However, fundraising involves a lot of things."
Yan Guofeng asked him, "Why is it so much? Is the foundation's financial records not transparent? Or is the grant money not arriving? Or is there someone in the company taking advantage of the money?"
"Grandpa is right. Fundraising is the best way. There is no shortage of rich people in Beijing, and there are even more big bosses who run companies." She had thought about this before and mentioned it. However, the company was too busy, and Yan Rushan had already spent most of his time managing the company. Once the foundation was mixed with other people's interests, there would definitely be a lot more trouble.
"How can we make people donate willingly?" Yan Rushan asked.
Yan Guofeng was in a dilemma for a moment. If the country was in trouble, he would have no choice but to donate.
Zhong Yuxiu said, "Why not hold another auction? Ten percent of the proceeds should go to charity. We won't take over their charity name. When someone donates, we can list their name and the specific amount. We can then issue a lump sum invoice for all the charities donated. The accounts will be clear and transparent. Over time, I think some people will agree to this."
By then, it will be a matter of voluntary will, rather than them using tricks to attract people.
"What's being auctioned?"
"I'll auction everything, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, even works by famous painters and calligraphers. Anything valuable will be auctioned. I'll pay a certain commission to the auction house to support its operations, and 10% of the proceeds will go to charity."
Yan Guofeng liked that thought and said, "So, are the owners of those things willing?"
"As long as the money is high, I'm willing to do it," Zhong Yuxiu said. "The price at auction is often higher than what it would be in the hands of an expert. Who would complain about having too much money?"
"What about the early stages? Probably not many people would be willing to participate in the auction in the early stages."
Zhong Yuxiu chuckled, "As long as the publicity is good and there are enough good things, why worry that no one will participate?" She was afraid that by then, the auction seats would be in short supply.
From their conversation, Yan Rushan's brain was working fast and he had already simulated a set of operating methods.
"Grandpa, my wife is right. I know what to do. I'll have someone handle the auction. It's easy. We just need to find a venue, arrange security, set up procedures, and do some publicity before we can open."
Yan Rushan was confident. Yan Guofeng glanced at him and nodded calmly, "Then you decide. I'll go and see the auction on the first day."
"Okay, you bring all your comrades along, and I'll also mobilize the brothers here." Not only does it have to be fast, but there must be a lot of people; if people from the compound take action, it will only lead to more people.
The foundation subsequently had a charter. The next day, Yan Rushan found a confidant and handed the matter over to him. He then gathered his brothers together and discussed the matters concerning the auction. With the assistance of Wu Chao and others, the matter was quickly settled.
In just three days, not only was the auction established, but many antique paintings and calligraphy by famous artists were also collected and included in the auction, waiting for the auction to officially start.
Yan Rushan was busy as hell, and Zhong Yuxiu was also conducting trials on a specific drug and preventive vaccine for hepatitis B virus. With the big data, as long as the medicinal materials were in place, and with Goudan's assistance, she could produce a specific drug and vaccine for hepatitis B in a few days, and they were just waiting for clinical trials.
She had no patients available for clinical treatment, so she delayed for two days before contacting Xi Nian. Because the results came out so quickly, she tried to delay for two more days.
Xi Nian hurried to the Yan family in Hongxing Village. After getting off the car, he saw that the door of the Yan family was open. He led the guards to the door and knocked on it.
Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Guofeng were playing with the children in the main room, and Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi were there too; of course, Nie Xi was also there. With her around, the children were much more well-behaved than usual.
Everyone heard a knock on the door, and Wang Daya said enthusiastically, "Mr. Yan, Comrade Zhong, I'll go see who's here."
As soon as Wang Daya walked out of the main hall, she saw Xi Nian and two tall and strong guards.
"Mr. Yan, Comrade Zhong, it's Comrade Xi Nian who's here." While Wang Daya was speaking, she did not forget to invite Xi Nian in, "Comrade Xi Nian, please come in."
Xi Nian smiled and stepped into the yard, followed closely by the guards behind him.
Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Guofeng heard the noise and stood up; Yan Guofeng called Nie Xi and Gong Zhaodi, and walked out of the main room with the children in his arms, and met Xi Nian who was about to enter the house.
"Hello, Mr. Yan, hello, Comrade Yuxiu." Xi Nian greeted with a smile.
Yan Guofeng nodded slightly, "You guys chat."
The group went out, leaving only Xi Nian and two guards in the main room. Xi Nian waved his hand, and the two guards turned around and walked out of the main room and stood at the door.
"Comrade Xi Nian, please take a seat." After inviting him, Zhong Yuxiu turned around and took the first seat on the left.
Xi Nian took a seat nearby and said, "Comrade Zhong's speed in producing results is truly remarkable. It's only been a short time, and he's already come up with another achievement. This time it's about a special medicine for hepatitis B, right?"
"Well, effective drugs and vaccines are available, only clinical trials are needed."
"It's easy to handle clinically. I'll arrange it for you. Many patients across the country are suffering from hepatitis B. There's no cure for this disease, and many people don't even know they're infected." There are many types of hepatitis B, some contagious and some not. Some people have small amounts of the virus, but they're still carriers and can develop the disease at any time. "With your effective medicine and vaccine, if you continue to implement it over the next few years, you'll benefit all hepatitis B patients."
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head, her expression indifferent. "That's too much. I just did what I thought I should do."
"You're too modest. Ever since you took office, not only have I been deeply indebted to you, not to mention others. During the most difficult years for the country, it was your patents that gave us a chance to breathe. In recent years, your expertise has been endless, and the foreign exchange you've earned is beyond words."
What she gave was not money, but confidence!
The confidence of a great country!
"You may think that this is nothing, but you have indeed made a great contribution and given up a lot of interests. Your broad-mindedness is admired by the higher-ups." Few people can remain indifferent in the face of great interests.
She did it. Faced with a huge amount of money, she remained unmoved and instead gave away most of it.
