After Zong refused charity dinner to draw controversy

Focusing on the Wahaha group chairman Zong Qing appeared on September 7, "Zhejiang Merchants Power Shining Hercynian" Special Forum, and this forum, also after Zong Qing became China's new richest man after the first public debut, he Tan Chen, because the time conflict declined Buffett "Charity dinner" invitation.　　Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are invited to host a "Charity dinner" at the end of this month in China. "However, I have refused, because I want to attend the Forbes CEO meeting, Time is in conflict." Don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid to be persuaded to donate, I just don't have time. Zong said that he wanted to donate without persuasion and that it was useless not to donate, but from the heart he did not appreciate the charitable acts of donating assets.　　Because in his view, the donation of all the assets behind the behavior, but is unable to pay high estate tax and corporate tax avoidance of the alternative, is not true charity, only to continue to create wealth for society is the real charity.　　Zong said that if entrepreneurs use their hard-earned money to invest, they can generate more jobs and bring more revenue to the country and society, but if they donate, they lose "vitality" and "Kilfouzi" is wrong.　　Of course, as an annual tax of up to 12.6 billion of the owners of enterprises, Zong will certainly not stand idly by in the face of disaster, but according to his words, "emergency not to save the poor, to save the poor must first hematopoiesis." "Rich people's money to a certain extent, the money is not their own, it should be social, to bring higher comprehensive benefits for society." "In addition to Zong, after receiving the invitation, many of the invited Chinese millionaires have to confirm whether they will be persuaded to donate at the dinner party." Their performance also sparked controversy among netizens, who asked, "What if this is a money-making dinner?" However, there are also many people who oppose the moral kidnapping of the rich, forcing them to donate money. Comprehensive links • Comments "Charity is more like a business for the Chinese rich, through which to achieve a variety of purposes of the transaction." The main point is that philanthropy has to deal with complex government relationships, and it is necessary to meet the expectations of some local officials before charity really helps those in need, which will inevitably bring many variables to charity. The Chinese have to accept an uncertain, ambiguous, and true and difficult charitable environment. The consequences are obvious: the real charity is suppressed and cannot be navigate, and some shadowy personnel cannot be ruled out in the name of charity. The Southern Metropolis newspaper September 6 editorial, "Do not let charity become a business of China's rich" on the topic of rich and charitable, in the whole Chinese moral context, always bring too much discourse and ideas of conflict.　　In any case, the Chinese-style charity is also carrying forward, rich High-profile charity, Zong Qing refused to charity dinner is always considered a deeper problem, on this topic, Express reporter and scholar Zhu Li had a dialogue. Create economic benefits also contribute to modern Express: After Zong declined the "Charity dinner", in fact, after receiving the invitation, many invited ChinaThe rich have to repeatedly confirm whether they will be persuaded to donate at the dinner party.　　This has also caused some controversy, even a lot of people have a moral stick to teach China's rich.　　Zhu Li: Should give the rich a little pressure, but should not criticize.　　Modern Express: Some experts have also excused the wealthy, saying that the Chinese rich are being kidnapped by morality on charitable matters. Zhu Li: Morality can not kidnap people, really want to say "kidnapping", the law has a role.　　If the rich is stingy, then you carry on moral kidnapping will not change the fact that he is stingy.　　Modern Express: Zong also talked about his own understanding of the refusal to charity dinner, saying that only the continuous creation of wealth for society is the real charity, and it is not really charity to donate money.　　Zhu Li: As long as entrepreneurs can create economic benefits, create employment opportunities, and pay taxes in accordance with the law, is also creating value, but also contribute to the community.　　Modern Express: Of course, there is no denying that the charitable concept of China's rich does not compare with Bill Gates and Buffett, in your opinion, what is the main difference? Zhu Li: The charitable concept of Chinese and foreign rich is not the same, many of China's rich did not reach the height of Buffett, always feel that wealth hard-won, and then bitter can not bitter children, and then poor can not be poor second generation.　　But in foreign countries, the rich rarely have this "rich second generation" consciousness, and many think that wealth is social.　　Modern Express: Why do the rich differ so much in their views of wealth or charity?　　Zhu Li: The rich's attitude towards charity is related to their outlook on life, and it is influenced by their families and surroundings, which is contributed by many factors.　　Should form a good charity climate Modern Express: Calm down to observe, it is not difficult to find, in recent years around charity, people have stood in the moral commanding point of view of the charity or the rich.　　Zhu Li: Now the state of China's rich is not very high, and the people not only want Chinese entrepreneurs to become successful entrepreneurs, but also want them to be a moral entrepreneur, but also for them to put a moral label, some accusations are excessive.　　Modern Express: It is unrealistic to put moral labels on the demand of the rich simply by virtue.　　Zhu Li: Only a handful of rich people can reach the top of the moral pyramid, most of the rich are just at the bottom of the pyramid, the top person is the role model, but not all people can reach the top.　　Modern Express: In the donation behavior, some rich people are very low-key, some of them are very high-profile, and the result is always high-profile person questioned, be asked about the motives of charity. Zhu Li: The promotion of corporate and personal philanthropy is not necessarily harsh. It's better to donate than not to donate. Questioning the motives of donations is harsh for those who have donated, but some criticisms are justified for those who do not donate.　　This has to look at the problem at a hierarchical level.　　Modern Express: What do you think of China's charitable status? Zhu Li: China's charitable overall is still up and healthy, don't make a fuss about something.　　But the environment of our charitable system is still immature. Modern Express: We are not the richShould be more tolerant, the development of philanthropy should be more patient? Zhu Li: The more important thing is the charitable ecological environment, to the right evaluation of charity, to have the right direction, to establish the right charitable system, to form a benign interaction. To form a good social and charitable climate, do not destroy the climate, not just to vent and say some angry words. In a word, the system, rules and measures should be used to cultivate charitable undertakings. Express reporter Liu Fangzhi
