Wang Zhentao

Mid Autumn Festival, Wang Zhentao Charity Foundation "love relay plan" Chengdu Railway Station launching ceremony and student source loan grant ceremony held at Sichuan University, the theme is "good world to pass love", 200 Chengdu freshmen cool students received a special mid autumn gift: everyone received 4000 yuan stipend, at the same time signed a love commitment letter, promised to complete the study to participate in work, at least to help a cold student.

An entrepreneur without a sense of responsibility is not a real entrepreneur. The social responsibility of an entrepreneur is not so simple as a donation. A responsible entrepreneur must have an overall consideration and a strong sense of social responsibility for his employees, consumers, social vulnerable groups, environmental protection and resource conservation.

Wang Zhentao, a Chinese charity ambassador, said at the donation ceremony: "I do not insist on how to thank my students, but I hope they will have a sense of gratitude and love for this society in the future. Today I help you, tomorrow you have to help others. This is the foundation for building a harmonious society.

Doing public welfare undertakings also needs innovation. The sustainable development of charitable and public welfare should be the same as doing business. Simply giving blood donation will delay the pace of development of Chinese philanthropy. Wang Zhentao is willing to be a pioneer of Chinese philanthropy. He will wake up and drive more people to participate in helping people in need.

"Uncle, we are very grateful to you for your help, so that we can continue our studies.

But we are under great pressure. We should not give alms. We need to have the help of love with respect. "

In the face of such true feelings, Wang Zhentao pondered: an unprecedented plan gradually took shape in his mind. Today, "borrowing" money for poor students and helping them tide over temporary difficulties can be repaid in another way in the future -- after they have taken part in their work, they will at least help a cold student by their own economic strength.

With the support of these two beliefs, the Wang Zhentao charitable foundation was born.

The Wang Zhentao charitable foundation was planned in 2005. It was approved by the State Council and the Ministry of civil affairs at the end of 2006. It was officially launched in Beijing in April 6th this year. It is the first privately owned charity foundation of private entrepreneurs in China.

The foundation will help 1000 impoverished students complete their studies this year. According to the request of "subsidized students to subsidize a poor student after work", the number of recipients from this foundation will double every year. It is estimated that more than 10 thousand recipients will benefit from the foundation in 2011.

At present, the foundation's "love relay plan" has been successfully launched in Chongqing and Wenzhou in May 18th and August 21st respectively, and 400 students have benefited.

"In fact, just like doing business, our wish is that this seed fund can produce more seeds and help more people."

He said that in this sense, AOKANG has already been involved in more commonweal areas, and also hopes to promote "prairie fire" with "spark".

It is understood that as the largest private shoe making enterprise in China, AOKANG group has always been concerned about philanthropy.

Up to now, AOKANG group has donated more than 7000 yuan to the community. In Zhejiang and Hubei, it has set up two 10 million yuan university student assistance fund, and in May 2001, the AOKANG love foundation was established.

A total of $about 300000 has been accumulated, and more than 80 people have been funded, amounting to 200 thousand yuan.

In June 2002, he donated 10 million yuan to set up a special fund for college students in Zhejiang Province, to help students in Zhejiang full-time, professional and poor families.

In 2004, he set up a 20 million yuan "Wang Zhentao charitable foundation" and a 2 million yuan "Zhejiang Sino Swiss private economic development research foundation".

Over the past few years, he has also offered about 23000000 yuan to subsidized education, poverty alleviation and other public welfare services in his hometown.

In 2002 alone, he donated 10 million to the Zhejiang university student aid fund to help poor college students complete their studies.

In January 1, 2006, AOKANG Group invested 10 million yuan to set up the "Huanggang AOKANG student assistance special fund". The AOKANG student financial assistance fund has reached 20 million yuan. In April 30th, the new leather shoes valued at 200 yuan were donated to 370 sanitation workers in Bishan County as a holiday gift. In April 30th, 300 thousand yuan relief was sent to the victims in the drought area of Chongqing. In August 16th, 100 thousand yuan was donated to the disaster area in Cangnan, and relief materials worth 2 million 800 thousand yuan were sent. At the same time, Wang Zhentao sent a 200 thousand yuan relief fund in his personal name. In October 10th, the trade union and the "very caring fund" of the AOKANG group red Firebird Shoes Co., Ltd. were set up in October 10th.

2007: according to statistics, up to now, a total of 274 poor students in Hongya have been subsidized, with a subsidy amounting to 230500 yuan.

Wang Zhentao's change of thinking is the best annotation of private entrepreneurs' pformation from utilitarian charity to public interest charity.

The Wenzhou businessman, who runs the largest private shoe making enterprise in China, is enthusiastic and charitable. Although he does not deny his utilitarian side, with the deepening of charitable conduct, Wang Zhentao began to think more about donations: how can he help the community to care and join in charity when he is involved in charity?

While investing 20 million yuan to set up the Wang Zhentao charitable foundation, he tried to implant a model of "relay of love".

"My starting point is very simple: introduce this pattern of love relay to more people, and arouse more people's participation, and create a good atmosphere for everyone to care about public welfare in the whole society."

In the afternoon of May 18th, Chongqing Education College gathered from 44 local colleges and universities in Chongqing.

Like other similar ceremonies, 200 poor college students who have both good and poor qualities have received a stipend of 4000 yuan per person at the scene. The difference is that when they receive the stipend, the 200 college students also sign on an agreement. They promise to be able to at least subsidize a poor college student with good quality and learning ability, and they also need to sign an agreement with the recipient, so that they can continue their love.

In June 29th, the "eternal monument -- China Public Welfare Development Conference and China corporate social responsibility summit" was held in Diaoyutai State Guest House, Beijing.

Wang Zhentao, President of AOKANG group, won the "China public service outstanding contribution award" with the enthusiasm of actively joining the Chinese public welfare undertakings and the unique wisdom of the new model of charity.

In the face of honor, Wang Zhentao still seemed very calm: "I will continue along the road of public welfare."

On the afternoon of July 19th, at the donation ceremony for disaster relief in Bishan, Chongqing, AOKANG group, a private shoe making enterprise, donated 1 million yuan to support Chongqing's disaster relief work.

Prior to July 18th, AOKANG group, a subsidiary of Chongqing AOKANG Real Estate Co., Ltd., has organized staff to bulk up purchases of drinking water and food valued at over 10 yuan in Chongqing, and rushed to the victims of Chongqing Bishan.

In July 19th, under the support of AOKANG Dream Fund, the Chinese charity "love children's heart" - Tian Liang's "AOKANG love ward" was set up in Xijing Hospital of The Fourth Military Medical University.

In order to raise more money, Olympic champion Tian Liang returned to the ten meter diving platform to offer love for children with congenital heart disease.

AOKANG group will also hold a ten day large-scale charity sale in Shaanxi Province, and will donate 500 thousand of the proceeds to the care ward.

"We must lock in and promote our dream of" universal public good ".

That is to say, everyone is public good and helps more people who need help. The dream of the Olympic champion is to make AOKANG dream.

We should play the Olympic card in hand and let the Olympic Games enhance their products, services and so on.

Wang Zhentao's Olympic dream of "public welfare for everyone" is lament.

August 8th is the sixth "good faith day" in Wenzhou. On the day of "good faith day", AOKANG once again gave generously to the poor students in Wenzhou to donate 800 thousand yuan.

In August 21st, the sudden disaster brought by the "Santa Po" brought the problem of schooling for the students in the affected areas of Wenzhou to be more prominent. In the second days after the disaster relief work, the theme of "sharing a dream of love and a dream" was launched in Wenzhou. The charity relay program of Wang Zhentao charity foundation was officially launched in Wenzhou, including 200 students from 5 poor areas in Wenzhou, who were well educated in Wenzhou, who received 4000 yuan of grants. Finally, they realized their dream of going to university.

This is the Wang Zhentao Charity Foundation's "love relay plan" after the launch in May in Chongqing, another student action.

The target is Wenzhou's economically difficult college freshmen, with a total subsidy amounting to 800 thousand yuan.

In August 23rd, Gao Min AOKANG - Beijing Sport University "poor area sports support scholarship" was formally established in Beijing Sport University.

It is understood that the scholarship was sponsored by AOKANG group's Dream Fund, and was sponsored by Olympic champion Gao Min, aiming at rewarding the national basic physical education talents, especially those who are interested in teaching in poverty-stricken areas.

At present, he has donated more than 7000 yuan to the community.

As early as 14 years ago, Wang Zhentao began to subsidize poor college students.

He first donated a graduate student, who often wrote to Wang Zhentao. Every time he read the letter, Wang Zhentao felt very happy.

"Later, more children were donated, and more letters were received, which made the smell even more."

He said: "it is a very happy thing to see that the children have done well in their studies."

Wang Zhentao, born in 1965, said in a media interview that he plans to retire at the age of 38. "Before I retire, I will try to create wealth and devote all my energies to public welfare."

But he admitted to reporters that no one can succeed himself as CEO.

Since last year, Wang Zhentao foundation has been looking for managers. After several choices, no suitable person has been found.

Now, he not only donates money himself, but also drives his employees and his children to donate money.

"I teach our children, first of all, love.

The pocket money I give to each child is 300 yuan per month, and they have a money box for themselves.

Children usually can't afford to spend money, there is a money storage tank.

Last year when the flood broke out, three children broke up the money box and donated all the money.

Speaking of this, Wang Zhentao's face was full of pride, and his tone was also showing off.

He was very proud that he could educate such a child.

Li Jiacheng once said: to be able to contribute to other people who need your help in this world is real wealth, so donations can not only look at the amount, but the most important thing is to infect others through love, and create a good atmosphere for everyone to care about public welfare in the whole society.

Wang Zhentao is working hard to create such an atmosphere.

"We can not have a villa, but we should have a home; similarly, we can have no wealth, but we should have love."

This is Wang Zhentao's declaration of love.
