Rewrite the Technological Landscape

In the first few days, Meng Qian was surrounded by more utilitarian people, until the last few days some representatives of groups with less utilitarianism were finally able to pull Meng Qian to have a good chat.

Offley, the representative of ActionAid International, sincerely asked Meng Qian for advice, "Mr. Meng, our partners in China often tell us that Zhaohui Education Fund is a very successful charity education foundation for young people in China. I wonder if Mr. Meng is willing to share his experience.”

"In fact, according to our old saying in China, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Traditional charitable educational institutions often stop at giving children relatively equal educational resources, while Zhaohui Education Fund's approach is to improve children's education. The upper limit of educational resources, give them the best learning tools, that is, computers and the Internet.

It may be more meaningful for children to have access to the Internet and learn how to learn through the Internet than to build an additional library for them or send them more teachers. "

"But this requires a country's scientific and technological foundation, which may be difficult to replicate in many countries." Ofli expressed a little disappointment.

Meng Qian said with a smile, "Actually, this is not the case. ActionAid International has many volunteers in China. Ms. Offley should also know that many mountainous areas in China are really poor. The cost of laying a network in those places It is very large and very difficult, and the reason why our model can succeed is to build regardless of cost.”

Offley spread her hands helplessly, "Mr. Meng may not know something. In some countries and regions, there is not even a single base station."

Meng Qian answered directly, "Then build the base station. I have gradually participated in public welfare undertakings in the past few years and only then began to understand why public welfare is so difficult, because after all, only those who are really willing to devote themselves to public welfare and are willing to give love tiny fraction of humanity.

ActionAid International's annual funding of billions may really be a drop in the bucket for people in need of assistance around the world.

In fact, many people misunderstand the purpose of our Dafeng Group to go to the mountainous area to build a network regardless of the cost. Everyone thinks that we are simply throwing money at it so that children can have the network. No, this is a long-term plan.

Once the network is established, it will serve students one after another. From a short-term perspective, the cost is indeed high, but if the time is long enough, this kind of construction is the most cost-effective.

As I said on the first day, the two roads are very important, and this is a one-and-done thing.

Instead of facing weak assistance repeatedly every year, we should grit our teeth in the early stage, build the most important technology, and focus on long-term planning. "

Everyone was silent for a while, and Dana of UNICEF said, "As Mr. Meng said, there is only so much funding every year, and the annual funding is not enough. We can't increase investment in all regions at the same time. It means that some areas will be affected by this decision.

Because we are facing the whole world, we have to think about balancing this matter from time to time. There are too many people in need of help in this world. Maybe the situation we have been facing is different from Mr. Meng's situation for a country. "

Meng Qian responded with a smile, "I have two thoughts on this issue. The first idea is to comprehensively consider education popularization, poverty alleviation, technological development and economic development.

The rapid development of China in the past few decades has made us realize that sometimes the more backward a country is, the greater its potential is. It's just that many countries are unwilling to open up and ignore the importance of infrastructure.

Building the foundation is beneficial to the development of a country in an all-round way, so I think we can consider persuading more countries to increase their investment in infrastructure construction. Respond to difficulties from a global perspective.

Secondly, before attending the conference this time, our Zhaohui Education Fund has initiated a global aid certification to the United Nations. I don’t know if the girls in Dana know about it.

One of the important purposes of my participation in the World Social Forum this time is to promote the Zhaohui Education Fund, because we plan to make the Zhaohui Education Fund an international education fund. "

"Mr. Meng is going to internationalize the Zhaohui Education Fund?" Ofli was delighted, "With the appeal of the Dafeng Group, this is definitely great news."

"Ms. Offley, our Dafeng Group's global appeal may not be as great as you imagined. Facing the huge funding gap for global education popularization, it is difficult for us to fill this hole.

However, in order to support global education popularization, Zhaohui Education Fund has made an important reform in the process of internationalization in addition to providing funds. That is, Zhaohui Education Fund will come to connect with corporate resources, and we are going to build a phased construction project. "

"Phase construction project?"

"To put it simply, the Zhaohui Education Foundation is constantly looking for cooperative companies, so that everyone can provide installment services for the corresponding products of the company.

For example, up to now, our State Grid Corporation of China, ZTE, Huawei, including our Dafeng Group, provide a special public welfare loan for Zhaohui Education Fund every year. For areas that cannot pay in one lump sum, we can provide installment services.

In order to protect the interests of the company, our Dafeng Group will provide a guarantee. At the same time, we also want to invite the United Nations as a cooperative guarantee party. "

Everyone here was excited. In fact, an international public welfare organization had proposed a similar idea before, and then went to talk to a US company. The US company might not have a good ear at that time.

As a result, now the Dafeng Group took the initiative to propose this idea, and everyone suddenly realized a problem. At this time, Huaxia's enterprises are fully capable of helping any country establish a certain technological foundation. Perhaps, in a few years, they can directly leave the United States?

This is a very interesting thing.

Meng Qian deliberately asked the United Nations as a guarantor this time. Although the United Nations is a thing that exists in name only, in the eyes of the world, this is the Dafeng Group's initiative to show sincerity to the United Nations, and it is showing sincerity to the world.

In this way, there is no problem of politicization, and there is no intention of making the whole world treat Huaxia as a younger brother, just to help everyone.

And Meng Qian's statement once again triggered various private discussions among the conference participants, so that more and more non-profit organizations approached Meng Qian in the last few days.

In the face of various international non-profit organizations participating in the conference, Meng Qian started the mode of frantically adding groups.

Child Defense Society? add.

African Animal Protection Society? add.

Middle Eastern pacifist coalition? add.

International environmental non-profit organization? add.

International AIDS Aid Organization? add.

In the past few days, Meng Qian has added hundreds of groups on behalf of himself or Dafeng Group.

Meng Qian's first trip to the World Social Forum was fruitful.
