That night, Wang Zixuan's family went all out at the Bird's Nest.
On the stage that cost over 100 million, under the dazzling lights, Little Wang sang "Two Tigers" with great enthusiasm.
Wang Liangming was initially a bit reluctant to join in, but soon he was having fun with everyone else.
They sang until around ten o'clock, and only then did Little Wang, feeling sleepy, lead the family back home.
The next morning, Wang Zixuan and his group went to the Positive Energy Charity Foundation.
When the elevator opened, they saw the deputy chairman Wu Aiming and a young man with short hair waiting outside.
Wang Zixuan, who disliked making a fuss when inspecting the company, preferred the responsible person to greet him at the floor entrance.
Seeing Wang Zixuan come out, the two men respectfully said, "Chairman."
Wang Zixuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Hello."
Then, he extended his hand to the young man with short hair, saying, "You must be Liu Zheng, right?"
The young man quickly shook Wang Zixuan's hand with both hands, a bit excited, and said, "Yes, it's me."
Wang Zixuan smiled and said, "You have a lot of positive energy. Let's go inside and talk."
Wu Aiming quickly said, "Chairman, please."
The group walked inside, and in the hall, dozens of Positive Energy Foundation staff were busy working, with phone calls ringing non-stop.
Due to the large number of people seeking help, the Positive Energy Foundation worked normally on Saturdays and Sundays, with staff taking turns to rest.
Seeing Wang Zixuan and his group come in, the staff who noticed them all stood up and bowed.
Wang Zixuan smiled and nodded to everyone, then entered the chairman's office.
On the desk, there was already a high stack of documents.
Wang Zixuan walked behind the desk and sat down, asking Wu Aiming and Liu Zheng to sit opposite him.
Wu Aiming smiled and said, "These are the documents Liu Zheng brought."
Liu Zheng explained, "Some are about leukemia, some are about projects our foundation has done, some are about projects I have researched but couldn't implement due to funding issues. There is also a plan for the Positive Energy Foundation to launch these projects."
Liu Zheng is the head of the Beijing New Sunshine Charity Foundation and a leukemia patient.
He was admitted to the mathematics department of Beijing University at the age of 17, then pursued a master's and doctoral program. In 2001, while preparing for an exam, he was suddenly diagnosed with leukemia, and the bone marrow match with his family failed, adding to his misfortunes.
However, Liu Zheng did not give up. Instead, he started to save himself and others, gathering some caring classmates to form a student club, establishing the first civilian bone marrow bank in the country, promoting leukemia awareness, and calling on people to join the bone marrow bank to save leukemia patients.
But Liu Zheng had no economic strength, and the club's operations relied entirely on fundraising. Liu Zheng also had his own principles.
A state-owned enterprise once offered them one million in sponsorship, but the person handling it demanded a 300,000 kickback. Liu Zheng refused such sponsorship.
Due to various reasons, few of Liu Zheng's team members could stay long-term.
It wasn't until last year that Liu Zheng managed to raise 2 million for the initial foundation, registered the Beijing New Sunshine Charity Foundation, and formed a professional team.
However, the funding source for the foundation was still a problem, as treating one leukemia patient required tens of thousands to millions of yuan, and the fundraising for the New Sunshine Charity Foundation was not smooth.
After the establishment of the Positive Energy Foundation, Liu Zheng saw new hope and introduced many patients who could not be treated before to the Positive Energy Foundation, hoping it would help them.
He also hoped that the two foundations could collaborate to better help leukemia patients.
There are many such charity foundations, which is one of the reasons why the Positive Energy Foundation has a large daily expenditure, as these small foundations have a lot of information on people who need help. If the Positive Energy Foundation didn't need to re-verify, it would allocate even more funds.
The Positive Energy Foundation is not averse to collaborating with other charity foundations, but today, Liu Zheng was invited not for the collaboration between the two foundations, but because Wang Zixuan planned to launch a nationwide leukemia treatment program.
The Positive Energy Foundation has received 101 billion yuan in donations from Wang Zixuan and 20 billion yuan from the Wang Liangming couple. Despite spending over 20 billion yuan recently, the remaining balance is still close to 100 billion yuan.
The 1,000 orphanages, 1,000 hope primary schools, and 1,000 nursing homes projects have already selected locations and are preparing to bid and start construction.
The 30 billion yuan for the initial construction of the "three 1,000" projects and the 10 billion yuan annual maintenance funds are significant.
The 30 billion yuan for initial construction is not much for the Positive Energy Foundation with its substantial funds, but the 10 billion yuan annual maintenance funds are a significant amount.
With the Positive Energy Foundation helping with various diseases and disasters, monthly expenditures are in the tens of billions. Wu Aiming did not dare to study large-scale projects, but Wang Zixuan proposed to completely eliminate a disease, and it couldn't be a rare disease.
Wu Aiming was shocked by Wang Zixuan's ambition and love but also reminded him to consider the required funds.
If it were just after his rebirth, Wang Zixuan wouldn't dare to take such a big step, but after this period of investment, he had enough confidence. Even if his rebirth memory runs out, he has the ability to maintain the operation of the Positive Energy Foundation.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation dares to announce the global eradication of polio and measles. How could he, a reborn person, lose to Bill Gates?
Seeing that Wang Zixuan was not worried about the funding, Wu Aiming immediately began to study the project and finally chose leukemia.
Leukemia is a type of malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells, ranking sixth among all tumors.
There are about 5 million leukemia patients in the country, with 60,000 to 70,000 new cases each year, half of whom are children.
After selecting leukemia, Wu Aiming wanted to invite Liu Zheng and his team to the Positive Energy Foundation to take charge of the project.
Whether from the perspective of personal salary and benefits or saving more leukemia patients, Liu Zheng had no reason to refuse and happily accepted Wu Aiming's invitation, making full preparations to start his new career at the Positive Energy Foundation.
Wu Aiming also conducted a project evaluation. Once the project is implemented, the annual expenditure in the country alone is conservatively estimated to be over 30 billion yuan.
Of course, the Positive Energy Foundation can establish a research institute and ultimately eliminate leukemia through gene diagnosis, vaccine prevention, and other means, but this research plan is clearly not a short-term success.
Wang Zixuan had already reviewed the project evaluation of the Positive Energy Foundation, and Wu Aiming had discussed the salary and benefits with Liu Zheng, waiting only for Wang Zixuan's final decision.
After reviewing the documents and plans Liu Zheng brought, Wang Zixuan stood up, extended his hand to Liu Zheng, and said with a smile, "Welcome to the Positive Energy Foundation. Your plan is good, and we can start implementing it soon."
The project of the Positive Energy Foundation had already been decided; the only uncertainty was whether Liu Zheng could be the project leader.
Hearing that Wang Zixuan wanted him to implement the plan, which naturally meant he would be the project leader, Liu Zheng quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, I will not let the chairman down."
