Volume 6: Misty Rain Chapter 341: Think Tank
Half a year ago, when Zeng Zui left the Golden Triangle, his mission was to form Fuxi Company. Zeng Zui at that time was no longer a free person, but a core member of the Blood Dragon Society developed by Long Lie Blood.
The earliest creation of Fuxi Company was derived from a discussion between Nong Liexue and Zeng Zui about foreign think tanks and Zeng Zui’s future plans.
Speaking of think tanks, this word may be a bit abstract, but when it comes to the famous American Rand Company, the American Heritage Foundation, and the Brookings Institute, everyone will have a specific understanding of this word. If it weren't for a series of accidents, Zeng Zui might have become a researcher at Rand Company.
Taking the United States as an example, think tanks are second only to the president, conference, and courts. They have a great influence on American politics, economy, diplomacy, security and other policies. Some even call think tanks a "shadow government."
Of course, in Zeng Zui's view, the huge influence of think tanks in the United States has its own special nature. Not all countries can have such a great influence. It is inseparable from the social structure of the United States. But special is special. In the discussion between Zeng Zui and Nong Liexu, what Zeng Zui is most attracted to and recognized by Nong Liexu is some commonalities of think tanks in all countries: a non-governmental private think tanks that transcend the traditional administrative bureaucratic system in their thinking mode, uphold the characteristics of fairness, public welfare, and **, play the role of social knowledge transmission and public opinion mobilization, and can influence government decision-making and provide more objective theoretical and intelligent support for government decision-making.
Zeng Zui’s former ideal was to establish an elite think tank like Rand Company in China. His former identity can be said to be one of the thousands of "brain cells" affiliated to the government. Unfortunately, ideals are always just ideals, and the country is not the United States. Because of the special national conditions of the country, in foreign countries, it is both a beneficial supplement to government decision-making and a certain degree of supervisors and competitors of the government. In China, it is also in an embarrassing situation. In particular, the main function of the think tank is to make proposals and comments on the government’s public policies, showing a new public thinking different from the parochialism of the government department. And through relevant marketing strategies and publicity means, analyzing policy concepts, achieving the purpose of educating the people, influencing the people and shaping the public - such a think tank functional positioning. It has to be said that it is very sensitive to the government and some people.
Therefore, in a country with a population of more than one billion, there is almost no organization or organization that can be called a think tank. This is simply unimaginable, but it is a fact.
There is a saying that money on the earth is contained in the pockets of Jews, and wisdom on the earth is contained in the heads of the Chinese. This statement can't help but show a sad and absurd side.
In addition to the influence of the objective macro environment, in China, a more realistic factor that restricts the existence of private elite think tanks is the funding issue that supports the operation of think tanks. As a non-profit organization, if it wants to maintain its maximization, notarization and objective status, it must maintain the maximization and autonomy of its financial structure. Look at the group of people in the real society of zh who are in the name of scholars and experts but defend corrupt officials and profiteers. They are a group of veritable cynics and beggars. Look at them, you will know how powerful money is in this society. If there is no support for the financial source, then everything is just empty talk.
The daily operation of think tanks requires money!
It takes more money to attract first-class talents to join! This money is not just about buying up the small money of one or two unscrupulous scholars and unscrupulous experts, but about supporting a large number of top talents to serve the think tanks with peace of mind and do their research with peace of mind. Compared with the internationally accepted treatment, assistant researchers are the salary and benefits of associate professors in their universities, while researchers are the treatment of full professors, and the funds for various specific research projects...
The daily expenses required to support a think tank are enough to make a rich man sweat. When most vested interests feel a little unfamiliar with the word "charity", they should pay for the conservatives to build a think tank. If they do it, they will not benefit them much. Who would do it? As for most ordinary people who are still busy making a living every day, they can't even think about it.
Only Long Lie Blood can do it! Only Long Lie Blood dares to do it!
While Long Liexue was still struggling to survive in the mountains and jungles of the Golden Triangle, a group of defeated soldiers and prisoners who escaped from Meng Gu, Zeng Zui had already arrived at the provincial capital MK with three handwritten letters from Long Liexue and began to be responsible for the preparations for Fuxi Company.
Zeng Zui visited Yan Chang, Mu Zhaoyang, and Chu Zhendong one after another...
The full full name of Fuxi Company should be "Fuxi Information Consulting Service Company". This is a strait ball played under specific circumstances. Only in this way can we avoid touching some reefs too early and allow the first think tank in this country to grow and grow smoothly.
The company's operating funds are entirely derived from the Zhendong University Foundation in the surface channel. Fuxi Company is also a legal entity under the Zhendong University Foundation. In fact, when Zhendong University is about to be renovated and needs money everywhere, if Chu Zhendong wants to spend such a large amount of money in the foundation to build a company like this, that is, to kill Chu Zhendong, that stubborn old man will not agree. In Chu Zhendong's eyes, the current university is everything to him. The money in the foundation, unless it is used in a place related to schools or education, would only make him take out a penny. Moreover, although the funds at Zhendong University are not embarrassed, they are not well-off enough to support the operation of a think tank of a size like Fuxi Company. Such a company is completely burning money, and there will be no economic benefits in a short period of time.
If Long Liexue’s style is either not done or if he wants to do it, then it will inevitably be the wind and thunder moving together and the thunder is trembling.
Although Fuxi Company has a low-key name and is not eye-catching, its first operating capital is enough to be shocking - 220 million yuan. Among the Yilong Group companies under Long Liexue, the only one who can get this money at once is the rich and powerful Yilong Real Estate, which makes money every day. This money, in the name of Yilong Real Estate donation to assist students, held a grand donation ceremony in the provincial capital, ran from Yilong Real Estate's account to the Zhendong University Foundation, and finally fell into Zeng Zui's hands as the special operating capital of Fuxi Company.
It was not until this time that Zeng Zui understood what Long Liexue said to him with a wry smile - "This kind of money is that I want to take it all out of Principal Chu to do other things. I am afraid there will be some twists and turns. At that time, you can handle some things as appropriate!"
When fighting for Zhendong University, Chu Zhendong completely evolved from a respectable educator in Zeng Zui's eyes to an iron rooster who plucked her hair. Chu Zhendong once said to Zeng Zui with a serious expression at that time, "If you want to get this money from the foundation, you want me to sign it, yes, but I must know, what benefits can you give me with this money?"
Benefits? Of course, the benefits are not what Chu Zhendong wants for himself.
In this way, before the headquarters was settled, a branch of Fuxi Company was selected in Chengzhou. This branch will mainly conduct research on education and environmental issues. Some outstanding scholars and teachers from Zhendong University will also be given priority to recruit Fuxi Company to serve as relevant researcher and assistant researcher positions. Zhendong University has also become the first customer of Fuxi Company. In addition to accepting some "information consultation" commissions from Zhendong University, Fuxi Company has also signed a series of personnel exchange agreements with Zhendong University...
With Chu Zhendong's eyes, he could naturally see what the future Fuxi company means to Zhendong University.
After finishing all the affairs in the provincial capital, Zeng Zui came to the capital, and the headquarters address of Fuxi Company chose here. Only in such a cultural gathering place can Fuxi Company quickly enrich and expand like a sponge placed in the water.
Those who came to Yandu with Zeng Zui were also involved in several key members of the Blood Dragon Society. In addition to assisting Zeng Zui in establishing the Fuxi Company, they also had their own tasks...
Fuxi Company is the first chess piece arranged by Long Liexu in Yandu!
The Long Liexue today is no longer the kind of frigid young man who thinks that he can make a living in the world and realize his ambitions by relying on a stream of passion in his chest. When the passion in his chest boils to the extreme, what he shows is a coldness.
In Long Liexu's eyes, the meaning represented by Fuxi Company is not just a think tank, it has more meanings. Even if you choose the address of Fuxi Company headquarters in Yandu, in addition to considering the development of Fuxi Company, there are more complex considerations behind this: where is Yan? The capital of the country, the foot of the emperor, the political center of the country, the power center of the entire country, the place where high officials, nobles, wealthy kings and princes gather...
The water in Yandu is very deep and completely unsatisfactory. For Long Lie Blood, only in such deep water can each undercurrent be grasped, and only in such water can one raise a giant dragon that stirs up the coldness of the sky and boils the six seas.
Fuxi Company is the think tank of this country, the think tank of the Blood Dragon Society, and the think tank of Long Liexu.
This era is no longer an era where Zhuge Liang is around you, and you can win thousands of miles away by patting your head and making an idea. A Fuxi company, for the current Long Liexue, is the extra eye, hands, and brain in Yandu...
Long Liexu came to Yandu this time to report his work, and he was also preparing to listen to others' reports to him...
