Although it is the Chinese New Year, this year’s Chinese New Year is different from the past, because everyone has no intention of going out to play and is stuck at home due to the virus, and everyone’s eyes are focused on the important city of Wuhan. In the disaster-stricken area, many celebrities have begun to donate to Wuhan to do their part. So how much have each of them donated to the technology companies that have been very prosperous in the world in the past few years?
The first thing that needs to be mentioned is Jack Ma and Alibaba. Everyone knows that Alibaba is most in need of money, and during this natural and man-made disaster in Wuhan, Alibaba directly provided 10 We have donated hundreds of millions of dollars in funds, and are still in contact with many high-quality mask companies abroad to urgently bring advanced medical-grade masks back to Wuhan. This incident not only expresses that Alibaba is extremely rich, but also shows that Alibaba believes in the country. My heart is with Wuhan.
But not everyone belongs to Jack Ma. There are many internationally famous Chinese technology companies, but very few are as profitable as Alibaba. Fortunately, Ma Huateng is also very capable of making money, so Tencent is In this incident, 300 million yuan was donated to the people of Wuhan. This amount was donated by the Tencent Foundation. Although it is not as wealthy as Jack Ma, Tencent's donation also shows its intentions.
Tencent and Alibaba are the most famous technology companies in China. In fact, they are also the two most profitable technology companies in China. In addition to these two large companies, although other technology companies have made some progress, they are still making profits. It is definitely incomparable in terms of capabilities, so first let’s talk about Huawei, which has donated more money. Although Huawei has sold a lot of mobile phones domestically and internationally, its overall mobile phone sales have even reached the second place in the world, and Huawei is also in 5G construction. The world is blooming, but unfortunately profitability is still in its initial stage. The most important thing is that Huawei's cash flow is tighter than Alibaba and Tencent.
So the final donation figure given by Huawei was 30 million. Of course, Huawei also provided some other help in laying out networks for Wuhan. Xiaomi’s current donation is 10 million, which is even more than Huawei. Low, although it seems to be quite a lot, it also depends on the comparison. After all, Huawei and Xiaomi are similar to Alibaba and Tencent in terms of reputation, but now the donation is an order of magnitude different, so the donations of these two companies are still looked down upon by many people. .
But here we have to mention the issue we mentioned before. Alibaba and Tencent are old companies with great foundation and are indeed the most profitable companies. Huawei and Xiaomi appear to be more important in this regard. It's a lot inferior, so we really don't have that much money. Sometimes it may be such a simple reason that the donation is relatively small, but it's not too stingy, so don't just be a keyboard warrior. Maybe others still don't see it. Other contributions were made behind the scenes.
It is worth mentioning that there is a rumor that has not been proven. It is said that Samsung is preparing to donate 70 million yuan in supplies to Wuhan. In terms of numerical amount, it is twice that of Huawei and twice that of Xiaomi. 7 times. As a company that has suffered so badly in China, is Samsung’s sudden move this time out of humanitarian support, or is it hoping to regain its reputation in China and make a comeback? We don’t know this. After all, this is just a rumor. Whether Samsung will donate or not is still unknown.
When I mention this, I actually have to think about moral kidnapping. Many people are used to moral kidnapping and don’t think there is anything wrong with it. It seems that if others have such a big capital, it is necessary to donate more. One more asset, this is the so-called Chinese old saying, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If this Chinese proverb is judged from the perspective of whether it is correct or not, it seems that this is true, and it is also what Jack Ma insists on.
But the problem is that not everyone is Jack Ma. Everyone has a different attitude and perspective. Of course, there is another point that needs to be paid attention to. Not what Jack Ma insists on is necessarily correct. Yes, for example, the tiger is the king of the forest, so does it have the obligation to take care of an ant with a broken leg? Even within the same pack, the alpha wolf may not necessarily take care of the injured cub, because the wolf pack may be facing a powerful enemy at this time, and the alpha wolf must leave the cub behind to protect the entire pack.
This kind of multiple-choice question has actually been mentioned more than once. There is a story like this. There were 49 people on the train that lost its brakes, and 51 people were lying on the track. As long as you move this section of track, So 49 people on the train will die, but 51 people on the track can be saved. Otherwise, 51 people on the track will die. So what should you do? If you judge based solely on size, you should definitely save 51 people, but are you qualified to kill 49 people on the train?
What this little story tells you is that there are many different angles to look at everything in the world, and there are many different ways to look at problems. Nothing is absolutely clear-cut between black and white. , even if Huawei and Xiaomi do not put in their full efforts, maybe these companies will keep more money in the company for research and development, so that the domestic technology industry can stand on top of the world sooner in the future.
