Chinese Entrepreneurs See Philanthropy In China

Enterprise development and

Unlike western countries, China has only 30 years of reform and opening up.

Zong Qinghou, chairman of Wahaha Group, believes that if entrepreneurs invest hard-earned money to invest, they can generate more job opportunities and accumulate more income for the country and society.

Cao Dewang, chairman of Fuyao Group, said more directly that enterprises are on the rise and should not put more money and energy on charity.

For China, Xia Xueluan, a professor of sociology at Peking University, and Lin Jingxin, a researcher at the Institute of public communication research, Zhongshan University, said in an interview with Yangcheng Evening News reporter that a "naked donation" similar to a bankrupt family may not be suitable for today's Chinese tycoons.

Xia Xueluan said that since the reform and opening up to the present, there are 55 thousand billionaires and tens of millions of millions of people who are worth more than 100 million yuan. Now it is not the initial stage of reform and opening up. Many rich people have the ability to give back to society.

But at the same time, our enterprises still need to invest money to continue to develop, and strive to enter the world market and enter the world top 500.

Therefore, today's billionaires are more suitable for making money on the basis of guaranteeing the expansion of production.

"It's impossible to be charitable for the sake of enterprise development."

Lin Jingxin said that according to the provisions of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the listed company should disclose the annual social responsibility report while disclosing the annual report of the company.

"Without any social responsibility, shareholders have the right to question.

On the premise of no burden on the operation of the enterprise, the Chinese rich have charitable obligations.

Wealth inheritance and misconceptions of charity

For the "naked donation", Alibaba chairman Ma Yun clearly expressed his opposition.

In his opinion, it is irresponsible not to leave anything to the children, but it is also irresponsible to leave it to the children.

"A person who takes no account of himself and his children should not believe that he will consider society."

Wealth is given to children or to society. Most of the Chinese rich will no doubt choose the former.

"In my view, inheritance and donation, one is management, one is charity, the two are different concepts, and can not be confused."

Lin Jingxin believes that 40% of the top 500 enterprises in the world are family businesses. The key is to see whether there is a good management process to institutionalize the operation of family businesses.

"For Chinese family businesses, the formation of such institutionalized management processes takes time to precipitate, but it does not prevent the rich from doing charity."

Generosity and entanglement of charity

At present, the protection of philanthropy by Chinese law is still immature.

In the interview with CCTV, Cao Dewang and Meng Qingru, chairman of Tianjin hung Zheng group, directly expressed some distrust of Chinese charities.

"I subscribe to charitable organizations accredited by the state, but these institutions can not disclose the financial affairs, nor do they engage in donation procedures or relief procedures."

This is Cao's biggest misgivings. "If I don't think this money can go to the hands of the needy, it will not be a problem of money. I'm being fooled."

Meng Qingru also had the same feeling: "some projects need donations, and money is donated. As for the landing and usage of the money, it can be said to be a blank, not very well understood."

In Xia Xueluan's view, the biggest drawback of China's charitable cause is that there is no "process". The process of donation by the rich is not clear, and the flow of money by charitable organizations is also opaque.

"Doing charity in China has a swarm mentality. It's like doing sports. Once a major disaster occurs, everyone actively responds to the donation.

This is understandable, but the process is wrong.

Such donations are unsustainable and can not be normalized. "

Xia Xueluan said that when the donation was made, everyone was willing to pledged to create momentum, but when it came to the implementation of donations, there was a problem, that is, the so-called "Lai donation" and "fraud donation".

"The implementation of funds is not in place, and the operation of funds is opaque. In turn, the rich are unwilling to donate money in vain.

These problems need to be improved step by step.

Xia Xueluan said.

The scruples of wealth and charity

Economic commentator Ye Tan commented: many Chinese entrepreneurs are still in the jungle society. The typical feature is that the external environment is not friendly, and the original sin and hatred of rich people keep them on the alert for fear that they will show their rich qualities by carelessness.

In Chinese traditional culture, there is a notion that money does not reveal itself.

But "this is obviously an excuse."

Xia Xueluan believes that many of the rich nowadays have the mentality of showing off their wealth, driving famous cars, having private planes, and enjoying the ostentation and extravagance. They are all luxury brands. These behaviors are contradictory to the tradition that money does not reveal. "Why don't you be afraid of making money?"

"It is better to say that most of the rich do not have the vision of charity," he said.

Lin Jingxin said that in the Hurun fortune list, Guangdong ranked second with 145 thousand tens of millions of billionaires and 8200 billionaires, but Guangdong rich and Northern rich have different personality characteristics. One of the most obvious is low-key.

They do not like to show off their wealth, but this low-key style makes the rich people very low-key when they are charitable. They take the family and cultural background as the link, and emphasize the geopolitical and consanguinity.

It is not that they are not benevolent, but they still lack the charitable vision of nationalization and even globalization, and have not formed certain theories and frameworks.
