Chapter 614: Chapter 518 Huge Investment (Please Subscribe!)_1 Huang Qi and Mei Wenlin sat in the restaurant, chatting, killing time, devouring an exquisitely delicious breakfast. Since he had been here before and knew that Tang Qing had no strict rules, Huang Qi started eating as soon as he sat down. Mei Wenlin, initially hesitant, also couldn’t resist the tempting food in front of him and began to eat as well. After they both had their fill. Tang Qing and Lin Jiaxue, now tidied up, came downstairs. Seeing the unusual glances from Huang Qi, Lin Jiaxue slowly let loose too, her face no longer flushed as before, though she was still a bit uncomfortable. "Little Tang, would you like to go out and play today? I know a few fun places," Huang Qi asked, cradling his round belly. "No way, you guys go ahead," Tang Qing said, shaking his head. It was a big weekend, and it was even raining outside. He wasn’t interested in the type of places they could visit, such as clubs, and he didn’t want to waste his time there. "Alright then." Seeing Tang Qing’s refusal, Huang Qi deemed it normal. It’s just Tang Qing’s personality not to enjoy noisy events or social engagements. Especially since his lover was at home, how could he possibly join them in their wild exploits? After Tang Qing finished his breakfast, the two of them had digested a little and didn’t feel as uncomfortable as before. Then, they cheerfully left with a box of fruit wine each, praising Tang Qing for his generosity. The matter of the company takeover would be dealt with tomorrow. He had already notified Dou Jiao, and the people from Sky Eye would contact Mei Wenlin to handle it. After all, the Industrial and Commercial office doesn’t work on the weekends. Watching the two cars disappear at the Villa gate, Tang Qing pulled Lin Jiaxue upstairs to start today’s routine subject—piano. Painting would be in the afternoon, and in the evening, well, that would be ’exercise’. Meanwhile, as Tang Qing was enjoying his pleasant weekend. At Beijing. At the headquarters of the Huaxia Little Angel Charity Foundation. Inside Bai Fei’s office. Even though it was Sunday, he chose to work overtime as usual. Besides him, there were also many other people working overtime in the building because the foundation had been very busy recently. Despite being busy, every employee was wearing a smile. Seeing the account balance of the foundation skyrocket these days, Bai Fei had been losing sleep. He feared awakening from a dream to find that all this money had disappeared into thin air. Over ten days. Donations amounting to over twenty billion RMB. It was so staggering that it blinded everyone who saw the figure. That, of course, included Bai Fei. This sum was so huge that it was enough to run the foundation for five or six years in the future. As a significant number of orphaned patients had been solved and the number of newly orphaned patients was less, this money could be used for five or six years or even longer with no problem at all. This donation. Bai Fei also got a real glimpse of the influence of the person who started this foundation. It was a force beyond his imagination. He knew that many domestic foundations and influential people had tried to get their hands on this money, but all failed. All requests to ’distribute evenly’ this money through administrative orders from above were quashed without room for negotiation. When they couldn’t have their way with the higher-ups, many turned their attention to him, inviting him to meals, visiting him, etc. However, after attending a few banquets, he stopped participating. After a few drinks, those people would start talking about money, trying to apply for grants through him. But how could Bai Fei agree to that? Even if he did, the state would not, the person running this event would not, and the people of the whole country supervising this would not. Every time ended in a sour note. All kinds of accusations were thrown at him about not being friendly enough, not being brotherly enough, about interest returns and considering the bigger picture. To hell with that. Bai Fei had no interest in it. If he could accomplish such a meritorious deed in his remaining life, he would be proud. If they expected him to bear scandals and be pointed at by thousands of people, Bai Fei could only give them a ’get lost.’ This is also the reason he practically lived in his office nowadays, claiming he was too busy to dine, insisting on discussing work matters at the office and keeping his personal life separate. Just at this moment. Bai Fei’s phone rang. Without a glance, Bai Fei picked up. "Hello, this is Bai Fei," Bai Fei answered with a steady tone. "Chairman Bai, it’s me." Hearing the familiar voice over the phone, Bai Fei immediately stood up. No matter who he was dealing with, Bai Fei would not stand up, but this voice was his ’boss’, the one who orchestrated this operation. "Hello, sir, what can I do for you?" Bai Fei asked excitedly, having not heard this voice for a long time. "Chairman Bai, there are a few things you need to prepare for: Firstly, the Foundation will fund the construction of ten large children’s hospitals in the country, with an average cost controlled around two hundred million RMB each. The operation and management of the hospitals will be jointly overseen by the Ministry of Health and our Foundation, mainly to reduce treatment costs. I believe Chairman Bai, that you are aware that even though our Foundation spends its money transparently, there are still too many ’profits from the three parties of hospitals, doctors, and pharmaceutical companies’. The purpose of building hospitals is to reduce these expenses. Secondly, we will expand the coverage of the Foundation by funding the initial construction of one hundred large orphanages nationwide. These will take in all types of sick orphans under unified management. After all, many sick orphans are spread out in various orphanages which is not efficient, whether for care or other needs. We can take over. Simultaneously, an orphanage must be constructed next to each of these ten children’s hospitals. This will facilitate the treatment of children with serious and urgent illnesses. These orphanages will also be jointly managed by the Civil Affairs Department and the Foundation. Thirdly, we will establish an investment department for the Foundation, specifically to invest in scientific research projects related to these serious diseases. The goal is to find more efficient, convenient, and inexpensive treatment methods and drugs. We will conduct initial investigations on what to invest in, and the Foundation can then handle the investments. The main points are these three. The country has already agreed to the first two. There will be discounts on the land prices for the hospitals and orphanages, and we will find a way for the doctors. As for the third, we can make this decision ourselves. Chairman Bai, do you have any questions?" At this moment. Bai Fei was so excited that he didn’t know what to say. The three projects mentioned in the phone call really hit home for him. He had previously been considering how to spend these billions, whether to spend money on renovating orphanages, and the like. It now seems that he had worried too much. Others have long thought about how to spend this money. And spend it beautifully. It seems that the Foundation’s money... isn’t that much after all, but these are urgent matters and not a waste of money. Bai Fei immediately said: "No problem, sir, I’ll have someone start the preparations immediately. By the way, sir, for the site selection of the hospitals and orphanages, are there any specific requirements? It will be much easier to proceed now that there’s no problem with the state approval." "There’s not much requirement for the orphanages, but considering the land occupation and transportation, first-tier cities are not the best choice for hospitals. So, it’s better to choose second- and third-tier cities with convenient transportation hubs to build the hospitals. I think they will be very willing." Bai Fei nodded continuously. This plan is acceptable. Although the state has lowered the land price, it’s not given away for free. Moreover, big cities are not short of one more hospital. It’s better to build in second and third-tier cities with developed transportation. In this way, with the same investment, whether it’s land occupation or scale, the cost-effectiveness and the degree of attention from the local government will be the highest. "I understand, sir, I will start preparations immediately, striving to start construction quickly." Bai Fei felt full of energy. "Yes, regarding the selection of the hospital’s location, you could try releasing a news and steering a nationwide bidding. Maybe you could save on the land price. As for the orphanages, they can be allocated according to the city’s population scale. Apart from the ten that must follow the hospitals, the remaining would be allocated in accordance with the ranking. The top ninety cities will all get a share." "Understood." Bai Fei agreed. "Alright, goodbye Chairman Bai. We are very satisfied with your work during this period. Keep up the good work." the Fighter said. Having his work acknowledged by his superior, Bai Fei felt a surge of excitement. "Yes, rest assured sir. I will not disappoint you," Bai Fei pledged. "Good, goodbye." Listening to the beeping on the other end of the line, Bai Fei hung up the phone, suppressing his excitement. He did not immediately call a meeting to announce the news, because there simply weren’t enough people. It was the weekend, and while he could work, he couldn’t force others to do the same. He would wait till Monday. However, This news still needed to be released. He wouldn’t want to delay any decisions made by the mystery boss. Immediately, Bai Fei logged onto the management interface of the Foundation’s website, entered the back end, and personally edited an article: "Huaxia Little Angel Charity Foundation 2005, Fourth Quarter Investment Project Bidding Announcement". In it, he detailed the two projects that the Fighter just described. As for the third, he was still waiting for ’the boss’ to give instructions since the survey work had been undertaken by ’the boss’. As for whether this stuff was in line with the procedure, Bai Fei didn’t pay too much attention. The entire Foundation answered to ’the boss’, there was no need to seek the approval of the other Deputy Chairmen, nor was there a need for a national vote since the state was already in favor. There was nothing else to discuss. He would just follow ’the boss’ instructions. After carefully reviewing it once and finding no typos, and realizing that the sentences flowed smoothly and fully expressed ’the boss’s intentions, Bai Fei clicked the Publish button. The next moment, The announcement was updated on the Foundation’s website. For a website that was scrutinized by the media every day, every bit of news from the Foundation was a focus and report target of the media, especially at this crucial juncture. As soon as the announcement was refreshed, a journalist noticed this announcement published directly by Chairman Bai Fei. Having carefully read the not-so-lengthy content, The journalist let out a startled exclamation and rushed towards the editor’s office. A minute later, the entire office was in an uproar. This news was too explosive, a project costing tens of billions of RMB in 2005 was like a thunderbolt, swiftly shocking the domestic media. Within an hour, The headlines of all major portal sites had changed to this bidding announcement.
