765 Morality

Donations have always been an important income for American schools, when Li Mu came to Harvard University and wanted to ask Harvard University to help develop smokeless gunpowder, Harvard University had the confidence to ignore it, because Harvard University had more than 23 million alumni donations, which was a huge amount of money in the nineteenth century, after all, even the U.S. government issued less than a billion dollars in cash a year.

Springfield Institute of Technology has not yet graduated students, and in the future, when more and more students graduate from Springfield Institute of Technology, Springfield Institute of Technology will also have alumni donations, and Franklin is ready to set up a foundation to use these alumni donations to improve campus facilities, subsidize poor students, or other charitable projects.

The operation of the foundation is actually not complicated, especially the foundation that does not need to invest in profits, as long as the accounts are clear and can withstand inspection, the current philanthropy industry in the United States has just begun, and it will gradually be standardized in the future, in the original time and space, until Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie and other tycoons began to get involved in charity, the United States will pay attention to this issue.

With Li Mu's guidance, Franklin already has a full understanding of the twists and turns of philanthropy, and as long as he adheres to a public heart, Franklin is confident that he will manage Springfield Tech's philanthropic donations into a benchmark for philanthropy in the United States, which will win more charitable donations for Springfield Tech.

Now it seems that there is no need to wait for the students to get out of the school, as long as Rockefeller and J. J. P. Morgan: They were willing to give generously, and the Springfield Institute of Technology foundation was about to open.

"Ha, I'll do it first, as the owner of Springfield Polytechnic Institute, I donate a million dollars to the school foundation." Li Mu made a good start first, so as not to embarrass Rockefeller and them.

"Thank you, Reem, I should have said this to you a long time ago, but I'm sure if I had said it before, it wouldn't have been as sincere as it is now." Franklin was also a wonderful person, and after thanking Li Mu, he immediately expressed his gratitude to Rockefeller and J. Franklin. P. Morgan gave him an expectant look

"Hehe, Reem, you're such a cunning fellow, okay, okay, I'll donate a million too, but Mr. Lucius, I'll send someone back regularly to see if you use the money I gave for where it should be." J· P. Morgan is not welcome, in fact, this is the attitude of charity.

Charity is a thing that has actually changed its flavor when it reaches the Republic, of course there are real philanthropists in the United States, even in the 21st century, there are still people in the United States who stay in Africa to do charity work, and those people are really charitable, as for the charity that was transmitted to the Republic in another time and space, in fact, there were some ulterior secrets at the beginning, Americans have money, but it will not be as wide as the world to scatter money, look at the ranking of American philanthropy in the 21st century, the top foundations, In fact, they have been out of the category of charity, they are simply investment companies in the cloak of charity, they don't make money, and they are fools to do charity.

Speaking of which, I have to admire that some Chinese are really smart, and when they find that charity is a good thing, charity has become a profit-making tool for some Chinese.

However, more Chinese people are kind, they are willing to share, they are willing to help others, they push others with themselves, and they do not believe that there is too much evil in this world, so in the 21st century, charity has become a cabbage on the bad street in the Republic.

J· P. Morgan said that he was not polite, but in fact, this is the attitude of doing charity, donating money, but also pay attention to the use of donations, this is the real responsibility.

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Morgan, we will make the Foundation's accounts public on a regular basis, and everyone can check them at any time, and the first thing to state is that for the operation of the Foundation, there may be a part, about ten percent of the donations that will be used for operating expenses, and I can assure you that this part of the expenses will not exceed ten percent, and other than that, all donations will be used where they are needed most." Franklin solemnly promised that with Li Mu's support, Franklin himself was not short of money, and Springfield Institute of Technology was not short of money, so Franklin would never reach out, if others dared to reach out, was it really a decoration when the security guards sent by Springfield Company to Springfield Institute of Technology!

"What are the operating expenses? How much will you pay Foundation staff? "Rockefeller is more interested in this part, in fact, Rockefeller at this stage is the kind of person who will use charity for profit, but in front of Li Mu and J· P. Morgan's face, I guess Rockefeller was embarrassed to speak.

"It won't be too much, it's a job that requires dedication, so the regular staff will have a salary, but not to the point of being enviable, we will recruit more volunteer staff, there are many people who are willing to help others, but there are not many opportunities, we can provide opportunities for them to get a sense of fulfillment, although we will not pay these people, but some necessary expenses are still there, such as clothing, such as working meals, such as audit fees, etc." Franklin seemed to have a plan in place and was able to answer Rockefeller's questions with ease.

The biggest expense of doing charity is actually the audit fee, which is the same as the popular online charity in the Republic in the 21st century, anyone can start a fundraiser, but there needs to be a real reason to get the opportunity to let more people know.

Springfield Institute of Technology Foundation's operating expenses, it is expected that a large part of it will be spent on auditing, don't expect how high the quality of Americans who have not received much education in this year, many Americans who have received higher education in the 21st century are of the same low quality, as long as you know that Springfield Institute of Technology has a charity program, there will be many people to apply, and then it will be very troublesome to review, only those who really need help will get the help of the foundation, which cannot be changed.

"Bingo, then I'll donate a million dollars too." Rockefeller is also not stingy, for an industry trust like Standard Oil, a million dollars is nothing, the key is not to be in Li Mu and J. P. Morgan is embarrassed in front of him, and he can't afford to lose face.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Rockefeller, you are so generous, and if someone tells me that Rockefeller is a robber tycoon, I will tell him that Mr. Rockefeller is a philanthropist." Franklin was in a good mood and played a handful of dry humor, which did not make Rockefeller angry, after all, the rumors were right.

"Okay, isn't it my turn?" Edward Jeffrey was left out in the cold for a long time and finally got a chance to speak.

"Of course, Mr. Mayor, even if you don't donate a million, the foundation will apply for the supervision of the New York City government, and the foundation's services include Springfield Institute of Technology students, but also everyone, as long as anyone needs help, as long as we can, we will lend a hand." Franklin took the initiative to give Edward Jeffrey a chance, such a good thing must be indispensable for the participation of the government department, and the government department will be full of enthusiasm.

"Of course I can't donate a million, I'm not a big guy, I can personally donate — well, a thousand dollars, and don't despair, since the Springfield Institute of Technology Foundation also serves New Yorkers, then the New York City government should be supportive, well, how about a million dollars?" Edward Jeffrey himself has no money, but the New York City government has money, all the city governments in the United States, the New York City government is the richest, even if there is no money, the New York City government can take out loans, whether it is the Morgan consortium or the Bank of America, they are happy to lend money to the New York City government.

To say that in this regard, the officials are still generous, and they do not hesitate to spend the public money at all, although now Edward Jeffrey is just a promise, and it still needs the approval of the New York City Council, but with Li Mu's energy in the New York City Council, Edward Jeffrey can now conclude that this money is a donation.

"Ha, that's how we spend our taxes by you bureaucrats." Before Franklin could thank him, Rockefeller couldn't help but open fire.

Don't feel distressed when the cub sells Yetian!

"It's not wasted, is it? Citizens pay taxes, and the city government returns the money to the citizens through the foundation, which is a virtuous circle. Edward Jeffrey retorted with confidence, estimating that Edward Jeffrey had never been so confident in spending money in the name of the government in his life.

"It's better to donate to the Foundation than to buy cigars for the council masters." Li Mu couldn't help but fire, no one knew about this matter, and the New York City government procurement of cigars was realized through the branch of the Junma Group in Cuba.

It's true that the New York City government spent $150,000 last year to buy fine cigars from Havana, and although these cigars are nominally for guests, the cigars are sent to the New York City government, and God knows whose office they are sent to, and the New York City government has never been stingy in this regard, and the annual cost of hospitality is in the million-dollar range.

"It only costs a few dollars to buy cigars, and sometimes I wonder how much money I have to spend on serious things when I pay so much tax every year." Rockefeller has turned on the spit mode, catching Edward Jeffrey and counting the numbers, Edward Jeffrey is not angry, half-truths and half-truths, and Rockefeller is messing around.

What is it to be counted out a few words, a successful politician must have the psychological ability to spit on his own face, Rockefeller complained to his face, which shows that Rockefeller and Edward Jeffrey have a good relationship, if you change someone else, you want to get the opportunity to be complained about by Rockefeller, Rockefeller still doesn't give it.

Seeing that the crooked building was crooked, Li Mu was not in a hurry, and the interested J· P. Morgan seriously discusses the operation of the Foundation, and Li Mu reveals a little bit in another time and space. P. Morgan and his gang manipulated the Foundation's modus operandi, so J. Morgan and his gang operated on the methods of the Foundation. P. Morgan was even more interested.

It was really cool to soak in the hot springs in winter, and a group of people who left the swimming pool were refreshed, Franklin invited the tycoons to the school cafeteria for dinner, and Li Mu and they readily agreed, which was originally one of Li Mu's inspection projects today.

Because the area of the school is too large, Springfield Institute of Technology has several restaurants, according to the tastes of different students, the restaurant provides a variety of different set menus, rich and frugal, even the cheapest package, the taste is not bad, the hygiene is absolutely passable, filling the stomach is not a problem.

Li Mu and the others went to the largest restaurant at Springfield Institute of Technology, and it was meal time, and there were a lot of students queuing up to get food.

Although Li Mu and the others all brought their entourage, it was not bad to experience this kind of thing once in a while, so Li Mu also took a plate and took the initiative to stand at the end of the line to line up.

"Hey, hey, Ream, are you laughing at the Springfield Institute of Technology students for not having morals?" Franklin really couldn't look past it, took his plate, and took Li Mu directly to the front of the line to add stopper, and the students who were queuing up didn't care, and greeted Franklin with a smile.

"It's good to be in order, of course, but it's also important to respect the teacher, and students should respect the teacher at all times, which is written into the Springfield Institute of Technology Student Code." Franklin didn't know how much discussion about equality has been the cause of a twenty-first-century republic, and to some extent, it is indeed sad that those who keep shouting for equality have destroyed the traditional Chinese etiquette that has been passed down for thousands of years, but what is even more painful is that they have not realized it.

The so-called "equality of all" is a false proposition concocted by the West, used to fool people, who is fooled and who is a fool, Westerners themselves do not believe it, the people in the world who are best at creating all kinds of inequality are Westerners, but some people see these four words and take them as a treasure, as long as they think that they encounter anything unfavorable to themselves, they have to take it out and make a noise, or these people, when some inequality falls on others, they often forget to seek justice.

"What if it's a wolf master?" Li Mu found fault, there are many people like "wolf masters", there are people from all walks of life, especially in theological schools in American universities, almost everyone has the potential to become a "werewolf".

Coldly, Franklin didn't understand the meaning of "wolf master" yet, but after all, his IQ was still online, and after a little thought, Franklin understood what Li Mu meant.

"How could there be a wolf master? Are you a teacher's union? Whether there are "wolf divisions" in other schools, Franklin does not know, but at Springfield Institute of Technology, Franklin can guarantee that there is absolutely no room for "wolf divisions" to survive.

Li Mu snorted and didn't answer this conversation, and scholar-type managers like Franklin think that the teachers' union is very important, but in Li Mu's view, many times, the "union" is just a decoration.

At least at the Kufner Group.

In order to have a better experience, Li Mu asked for a medium-to-high price package, including rice and stir-fried vegetables with meat and vegetables, while Franklin asked for a relatively cheap package, which has nothing to do with economic strength.

Back in his seat, seeing Rockefeller's package, Li Mu immediately laughed, and he didn't know what Rockefeller thought, Rockefeller actually asked for a saliva chicken, Li Mu wanted to see if Rockefeller could finish it in a while.

Saliva chicken is too spicy for Americans.
