Chapter 1193 Donated

Zhou Buqi accepted Lu Qi's plan.

The welfare security system in the United States is far inferior to that of some developed countries such as Europe, Canada, Japan, and Singapore. It is mainly supplemented by commercial insurance, such as unemployment insurance.

Moreover, after being fired, you can also get a resignation compensation of at least 3 months' salary from the company.

Generally speaking, it is still guaranteed.

But now is a special time.

After layoffs, a large number of people cannot find jobs.

For example, there was an interview with a character in "Qiao Bao", saying that a Chinese engineer worked at Cisco and was fired in August. He is a middle management, very smart, realized that the situation was wrong, and stopped looking for a job.

Because there is no way to find it.

I got in touch with China and started a flooring business, importing flooring from China and selling it in Silicon Valley. Under the subprime mortgage crisis, houses could not be sold, and sales of flooring for decoration dropped sharply. Many floor dealers have gone bankrupt. However, he did the opposite, relying on the high-quality and cheap domestic flooring to win over a small number of customers, and instead made a profit, earning more than before working part-time.

Many people do not have such business wisdom, so it is difficult to manage.

There will inevitably be a wave of Silicon Valley talents returning to China.

People who Silicon Valley doesn't like are usually rushing to get them when they return to China. It's not that the technical level of this group is so high, but that the country has subsidies under the economic crisis. There are many standards for subsidy, such as how many doctors, how many returnees and so on. The more "big gods" who come back from Silicon Valley, the more subsidies they receive.

Therefore, these three types of people do not need the help of charitable funds under normal circumstances.

One, from a big company;

2. Those with business acumen;

Three, those who are willing to put down their faces and return to China.

It is easy and glorious to return home with great achievements in the United States. However, many young people have just come to the United States and still want to work hard, and they are unwilling to go back in despair; many older people have married and started businesses, and their friends and relationships are here, and their children also go to school here, so it is very inconvenient to return to China.

More importantly, this charitable fund is aimed at the entire Asian community.

The Chinese have a way out, but Vietnamese, Malay, Indian, Middle Eastern, Thai, and Japanese people have no way out. They cannot go back.

Vulnerable groups should be selected from among them to help.

The original company went bankrupt and couldn't receive resignation compensation. With that little unemployment insurance, I'm afraid I couldn't even pay off the mortgage.

Asians are the mainstay of Silicon Valley.

50% of technical jobs are Asian.

The current financial crisis is an opportunity for Ziweixing to buy bottom. It is not only a bargain in business, but also a bargain in prestige and corporate image among the Asian community.

At this time, it is timely to send charcoal, which has established a good impression in their hearts. In the future, Ziwei Star’s competitiveness in recruiting talents in the United States will definitely not be comparable to local giants such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon when it comes to recruiting talents in the United States. Dominate.

Zhou Buqi immediately thought of something, and asked, "If Ziweixing only recruits Asians, will it have any impact?"

"Attracts only Asians?"

"right."

"From an operational and technical point of view, it's completely fine. Asians are far more powerful than imagined. But other aspects have an impact."

"Racial aspect?"

This is the most troublesome point for Zhou Buqi.

Lu Qi hesitated a little, unsure, "It's hard to say. If a company only hires white people, it must be racial discrimination. If a company only hires black people, it's not racial discrimination. Because black people are a minority. So are Asians. Minorities, in theory, are okay. But this is Silicon Valley, and Asians cannot be understood as minorities. There is no need to take risks. If something happens, it will be a big problem.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Then don't make too many distinctions, control the corporate culture well, and try not to cultivate small circles to crowd out people, whether they are Chinese or Indians."

Lu Qi was very relaxed about this, and said with a smile: "As long as Africans are not involved, other ethnicities are fine. The difficulty now is mainly on your side. How much control can your Asian charity fund have? "

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Anyone who is disobedient will not be invited!"

It is very easy to set up a charity fund in the United States, and you can apply for it in a few days. Now the main reason is to attract more people to participate, and there must be some executives from large companies.

Inviting them to participate as directors of the Asian American Charity Fund is not only a manifestation of supervision and credibility, but also can use their influence to attract more people.

Let's make the cake bigger together.

The most important thing right now is to solve the problem of unemployment among Asians in Silicon Valley. For some people who have no resignation compensation and have a particularly high life pressure, a monthly relief of US$1,000 can be provided for 3-6 months.

That night, Yang Zhiyuan organized a social event at home.

Zhou Buqi, Lu Qi and Zhen Yu all went, including Wu Jinghua's wife Liu Le. The current situation is very bad, and the lawyer invited also said that Wu Jinghua is more than good.

California has the death penalty.

Wu Jinghua is choking!

Between Liu Le's brows, there was an unconcealable sadness. Fortunately, she is a strong mother, and for the sake of her three children, she also wants to carry the family.

It can be said that it is a great favor for Mr. Zhou to invite her to serve as the director of the Asian American Charity Fund.

This activity is mainly to introduce a few people.

Kim Yong, the Korean principal of Ivy Dartmouth College, Indra Nooyi, the Indian female CEO of PepsiCo, Sonal Shah, the Indian vice president of Google, Li Lu, a Chinese venture capitalist, and Chinese American CNN 17 Asian elites including host Ling Zhihui, Korean vice president of KKR venture capital fund Jose Ba.

What pleased Zhou Buqi the most were three Hulu executives, one was Chief Technology Officer Eric Feng, the other was Vice President Eugene Wei, and the other was Hulu’s Director of Corporate Communications, Eric Feng. Wife Christina Lee.

All three are of Chinese descent.

Moreover, all three of them are Hulu's entrepreneurial veterans.

This Yang Zhiyuan really has a lot of connections!

Zhou Buqi thought about going back and invited Sun Zhengyi and Duan Yongping to join in the grand event.

However, at this party, everyone gathered to discuss some positioning and concepts of the Asian American Charity Fund, not to discuss business.

Zhou Buqi's words shocked everyone, "Ziweixing American Branch will invest 100 million US dollars in the Asian Charity Fund every year."

There are only 20 million Asians in the United States.

Ziweixing wants to do something big!

Needless to say, whoever pays is the uncle!

In the current situation, even if everyone is an executive, it is difficult to spend too much money. The first phase of donations mainly came from Zhou Buqi and Yang Zhiyuan, two super rich people.

One night, the plan was finalized.

A total of $228 million has been raised.

Among them, Ziweixing contributed 100 million US dollars, Yang Zhiyuan personally contributed 100 million US dollars, and others contributed a total of 28 million US dollars. The name of the foundation has been confirmed, it is called Ziweixing Asian American Foundation.

The word "charity" was removed.

After everyone's discussion, this foundation not only has charitable actions to ensure people's livelihood, education and medical care for Asians, but also has social actions to help Asians improve their social status and fight for their rights and interests.

Of course, foundations are still charitable organizations.

...

Early the next morning, Zhou Buqi yawned and put on his clothes, "Wanwan, what are you doing? Help me put on my socks."

After putting on the bra, Sun Wanran squatted down to help him put on his socks, and asked, "By the way, you said that the company will donate 100 million US dollars to this foundation every year?"

"Um."

"Really donate?"

"That's fake?" Zhou Buqi was a little amused, "Don't use domestic concepts to understand, you can think of it as a kind of social tax, and you will understand. Charity and tax payment are of the same nature, and they cannot be avoided. "

Sun Guanran sighed: "You have invited so many famous people and social leaders to participate as directors and members of the advisory committee, and your charity fund can't seek personal gain."

Zhou Buqi laughed angrily and said, "Pursue selfish gain! A big boss like me still needs to use this kind of means to seek personal gain?"

Having said that, self-interest must exist.

It can be seen from the name that it spent money to advertise for Ziweixing.

"Mu'er, go and get dressed, I'll do it." Sun Guanran put on socks for him, and took the neat trousers from the closet, "I donated so much money in the United States, and it has spread to China. I don't know yet. What do you think?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "You are the only one who thinks too much."

"It was."

"I know it."

"What are you going to do?"

"Donate money!" Zhou Buqi stood up and pulled up his pants, "What else can I do?"

Sun Guanran looked up at him, "How much is the donation?"

"All donated!"

"snort!"

Sun Guanran pouted.

Zhou Buqi glanced at her, "Don't believe me?"

Sun Guanran taunted: "I donated everything, what do you eat and wear? You don't need money to play women?"

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly, and said seriously: "You have to remember, I am the big boss, and you have to put me on the same level as Bill Gates."

Sun Wanran was stunned, "Did you really donate all of it?"

"Yang Zhiyuan mentioned a few words to me last night. I think it makes sense. Go and have a good chat with him later." Zhou Buqi looked at the regretful and sad look on her little face, and couldn't laugh or cry, "Why you, Don’t you feel that donating money is very happy and fulfilling? I have so much money, I can’t spend it all. If I don’t donate it to the society, what do I keep it for? Don’t worry, it’s different from what you think. I have my own arrangements. Don’t let the family run out of food.”

After breakfast, Zhou Buqi took his two little secretaries to the most famous Coupa Cafe in Silicon Valley, which is next to Stanford University.

It is a very small and simple coffee shop, and many venture capitalists and Silicon Valley bosses like to come here.

It can be called the biggest creative burst point in Silicon Valley.

Yang Zhiyuan felt that this little Zhou was more foolish than the old horse.

How many days have you been together?

It was set up by him and fell into it.

Not only did he have to help him as an independent director, not to mention that he didn’t earn a penny, but he also invested $100 million in charitable funds.

However, Yang Zhiyuan felt that Ziweixing's career had great prospects.

As an independent director, he put forward the first proposal from the strategic level - the split of Ziweixing.
