The truth about Lei Jun's 1.3 billion donation.
As a graduate of Wuhan University, Lei Jun's deep friendship with his alma mater goes without saying. He donated 1.3 billion RMB, showing his care and support for the school. What is the practical value of this large sum of money?Let's make it out. According to Wuhan University's 2023 plan, the university will invest about 15.1 billion yuan. Even on a monthly average basis, the monthly expenditure is as high as $1.26 billion. Lei Jun's donation of 1.3 billion yuan is enough for Wuhan University to maintain its operation for a month, which is not available to ordinary people. If this money is used for education and research, it can train dozens of top experts, or even three top laboratories. Lei Jun spares no effort for his school. This made several schools next to it very jealous, especially Huazhong Institute of Technology next door.
At the donation ceremony, Lei Jun sat in three rows, which aroused the attention and questions of many people. There is no doubt that the positions in the front row and the second row are reserved for the seniors of the senior and the academy. Standing in front of those bigwigs, Lei Jun is just an ordinary entrepreneur. This arrangement is obviously a kind of "official-oriented" thinking. However, none of this affected Lei Jun's concern for his school and his affirmation of his own worth. Lei Jun's dedication is not only a donation of 1.3 billion, but also an important event in which he actively participated in and donated many important schools. Lei Jun does not like to stand in the spotlight, he pays more attention to the expression and practice of his true feelings for the motherland.
The school should pay full attention to the grantee alumni.
Unfortunately, the school does not attach great importance to the allocation of seats for Lei Jun. During the solemn and significant dedication ceremony, he sat in three rows when the donor was "hidden" and unnoticed or recognized. This arrangement makes people feel that their enthusiasm has been exploited by the top, and those who are ignored are the real beneficiaries. In this case, will the donor's heart feel at ease?
Whether a university values its graduates and shares the values of its entrepreneurs and companies is a major indicator of its quality and attractiveness. Lei Jun himself may not care about sitting in the back row, but it would be disappointing if he didn't respect entrepreneurs, business activities, and alumni. Even if they are willing to donate money to their schools, they will inevitably feel uncomfortable. In essence, this is also a manifestation of some people's "official" concept.
Lei Jun's dedication to the school has developed with the school.
Lei Jun's donation of 1.3 billion yuan is definitely a great support and recognition for his alma mater. A few years later, many people may have forgotten the chairman and chairman of Wuhan University, but the name Lei Jun has grown with him. His dedication is not only reflected in his donations, but also in his care and support for education, as well as his entrepreneurial experience, which will become the greatest wealth to the college and students. It's an honor, a sign.
Conclusion. Wuhan University is an influential and well-known university, and it should recognize that it should pay full attention to entrepreneurs in the business world and seniors in the business community. Not only did they donate a lot of money to the school, but they also used their personal experiences and experiences to bring more educational resources and opportunities to the campus. In the future, in the alumni donation ceremony, attention should be paid to the placement of seats, and the alumni who donated should be given due respect and attention. Only in this way will the alma mater be more proud of its alumni in the eyes of its alumni.
