Gree Aunt Dong said Lei Jun likes marketing, and Lei Jun also feels wronged:
He is obviously an programmer , and the other party started his business by selling air conditioners.
, don’t think it’s unfair. There is nothing wrong with doing business likes to do marketing. Lei Jun and Xiaomi ’s marketing moves are indeed quite good. In 2016, Lei Jun donated money to his alma mater, , Wuhan University, and found out a topic that was 1 yuan or 100 million yuan different, which made the outside world ask:
is not bad for this 1 yuan, why don’t you donate an integer? Everyone counts how many "9".
Later, Lei Jun’s explanation was that it could not exceed Chen Shengsheng, the founder of Taikang Life Insurance .
Results, by 2021, Chen Dongsheng donated another 1 billion to Wuhan University. The next time Lei Jun donated, will everyone count "9" again?
Some people like to say that rich people are unkind for wealth, but they have to admit that in recent years, when rich people do charity, they have become more and more generous in their actions, often over 100 million yuan. In every major disaster, they can always see the shadow of them rushing to donate money and materials and contribute their efforts.
When it comes to donating money to your alma mater, the level of tens of millions and billions of yuan is not uncommon, and many people have risen to the level of 1 billions.
The Taikang Group mentioned above donated 1 billion yuan to Wuhan University on August 22 last year to support the construction of medical and life science disciplines at Wuhan University and promote the construction of " Double First-Class " university.
This is the largest donation received in the past 130 years since Wuhan University was founded.
And many years ago, Chen Dongsheng donated 100 million yuan to Wuhan University.
Chen Dongsheng, who was born in Tianmen, Hubei, studied in the Department of Economics of Wuhan University from undergraduate to doctoral degree. A legend at Wuhan University is that before he graduated from undergraduate degree, he carved the word "start" on a stone in Luojia Mountain . Later, he entered the system and set a precedent for China's top 500 companies.
In 1992, he went into business and founded many companies such as Jiade International Auction House, Zhai Express and Taikang Insurance. Because he was the first to propose 92 , he was known as the representative figure of 92 tills. As many years ago, Taikang Life Insurance had already entered the Fortune 500 in the world.
Chen Dongsheng's wealth has also risen steadily in recent years. In 2021, the wealth on the Hurun Rich List increased by 50%, reaching 95 billion yuan, which is close to the 100 billion yuan mark.
In 2021, Taikang Insurance's operating income and net profit reached 225.9 billion and 26 billion, respectively, 1 billion, which is indeed just a drizzle for them.
followed closely, and a Henan rich man also donated 1 billion yuan to his mother.
On July 6 this year, a less-known second-tier university, Henan Agricultural University, , also received a donation of 1 billion yuan from alumni when the 120th anniversary was approaching.
This alumnus is called Qin Yinglin , the founder of Muyuan Group.
In the past three or four years, both Muyuan Group and Qin Yinglin have gained a reputation. This is a pig farming company. In the past few years, pork prices have risen sharply. Muyuan not only made a fortune, but also expanded vigorously, surpassing Guangdong's Wen Group and becoming the number one pig farmer in China. Last year, Muyuan shares sold a total of 40.263 million live pigs, with revenue reaching 75 billion yuan.
In 2020 alone, Muyuan shares had a net profit of 27.5 billion yuan with more than 56 billion yuan in operating income.
In recent years, Qin Yinglin's wealth has also doubled year by year, now reaching 170 billion yuan, and in the past few years it exceeded 200 billion yuan, ranking among the top 10 in the country. He has been ranked among the richest pig farmer in China and the richest man in Henan for many years.
In fact, Qin Yinglin is also a typical 92 school. After graduating from the Henan Agricultural College at that time, he worked in a food company for several years. In 1992, he resigned with his wife Qian Ying and returned to his hometown to raise pigs. Starting from 22 piglets, he created a pig farming kingdom.
Interestingly, their son is Qin Muyuan. If he is Vice President Muyuan, he only has a high school education.
This time, donated 1 billion yuan to his alma mater to help Henan Agricultural University build a world-class Agricultural University with Chinese characteristics .
Qin Yinglin also hopes to help his alma mater build a first-class agricultural university through his own donations. Some schools are already first-class universities and have received 1 billion yuan donations from alumni.
On March 3, 2021, Li Yongxin, founder of Zhonggong Education, also donated 1 billion yuan to his alma mater, Peking University, for the discipline development, teaching and research and talent training of Peking University.
Li Yongxin is a 1999 alumnus of Peking University and Peking University. He is from Jilin and is a typical poor student. When he was in Peking University , the free soup and free pickles in the canteen allowed him to fill his stomach. Therefore, he designated part of the donations to be used in the logistics canteen.
After graduating from university, Li Yongxin started his business. After experiencing a failure, he later founded Zhonggong Education, which mainly focuses on public examination training. In 2018, Zhonggong Education was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange through the backdoor of Asia Xia Automobile.
At the beginning of 2021, Zhonggong Education's stock price reached its peak, and Li Yongxin's wealth on the Hurun Global Rich List that year exceeded 140 billion yuan.
However, in the past year, the stock price of Zhonggong Education has dropped sharply, from more than 40 yuan per share at its highest to less than 4 yuan per share, shrinking by 90%. The current total market value is only 24 billion yuan. Last year, Zhonggong Education's revenue was only 6.9 billion yuan, and its loss was nearly 2.4 billion yuan.
Now it seems that the donation of 1 billion yuan is a considerable amount.
There is also an alumnus who donated 1 billion yuan to his alma mater. The outside world knows less, and he has not even made it to the rich list.
His name is Xiongxin . He is from Longyan, Fujian. He was born in 1968 and graduated from University of Electronic Science and Technology in Chengdu, Sichuan. He was born in poverty, and it is said that he had set a goal for himself: to make 10 billion at the age of 40!
In 1997, he and his partners used 300,000 to establish Chongqing Born Technology Group, which is now Born (China) Holding Group, and has gained its first pot of gold. His greater success comes from investment. Xiong Xinxiang has successively invested in Zhou Hongyi 360, Zhubajie.com , etc., creating classic cases with an investment of 5 million and a return of 3,000 times.
In the company introduction on its official website, in addition to investment, it is more about introducing agricultural projects.
In 2016, on the 60th anniversary of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Xiong Xinxiang donated 1.03 billion yuan to establish the "Boen Education Development Fund" to support the development of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. This is the largest alumni donation in the history of the University of Electronic Science and Technology.
Bon is not large in scale. From 2019 to 2021, the rankings in Chongqing's top 100 private enterprises were 34th, 31st and 42nd, with operating income of 4.739 billion yuan, 5.156 billion yuan and 5.25 billion yuan respectively. Xiong Xinxiang's name is rarely seen on the
Rich List.
Comparing the above data, it can be seen that 1 billion yuan should be a considerable data for them.
Moreover, in recent years, Born seems to have not developed well. The company news, industry trends and other columns on its official website have been updated in August 2019.
It is worth mentioning that some donations have been announced to the public, some donated in installments, some were not fully fulfilled later, and even "scam donations" occurred.
I wonder if these donations to the alma mater with a whopping 1 billion yuan have been fully in place?
