Chapter 597 Charity Dinner 【Seeking Monthly Ticket
"Mr. Gu, your proposal is very interesting, we will consider it..."
"Mr. Gu, we are very willing to cooperate with your work, but..."
"Mr. Gu, we also hope that that is true, that is also our wish, but..."
"Mr. Gu, you have put forward a very beautiful idea. Give some time to consider it..."
"Captain Gu, the Spring Festival is coming soon, and we are resting everywhere. We don't rush to spend these days, let's talk about it after the New Year?"
It is already 2023. Gu Jun has been working hard every day for the promotion of the "Free Medical Plan for All Humanity" project.
The organization equipped him with a working team, all of whom are elites in related fields, and they also contacted top economists in the Tianxuan world, advocates of free medical insurance for all, etc. No matter how difficult it is, their team is doing this seriously.
This plan cannot be viewed from the perspective of economic impact alone. It is a struggle for a healthier, more equal and more united world, which concerns the dignity and safety of all mankind.
This is their purpose.
Departments of various countries and major pharmaceutical companies and giants, sometimes they have telephone calls, remote video conferences, and sometimes they have face-to-face meetings. Gu Jun led his team to run around the world.
In a flash, it was half a month. The Spring Festival in 2023 came very early, and it was New Year's Eve three days later on January 21st.
The "free medical plan for all mankind" has not made big progress, and the small progress is mostly just verbal. The biggest result is still the limited price reduction of some drugs promised by the pharmaceutical industry, and the implementation of various countries to improve their national medical insurance policies. As for participating in covering the world, there is little interest in all mankind.
Gu Jun and the others did not force it to be done in one fell swoop. Those capable countries can first implement it in their own country, which will be a huge progress.
But this is still difficult. Even in the world's most developed, richest and most practical Citigroup, their push is like throwing a stone into the sea, which cannot cause any storm.
Citigroup has a population of about 327 million, about 85 million people have insufficient insurance, and 28 million people do not have medical insurance. The medical services these people enjoy are very bad.
In Citigroup, the full coverage of medical insurance has always been a major issue.
There are many voices who advocate free medical care for all, but they have been treated ambiguously for a long time, and this matter is unrealistic.
How much more does this cost? Where does the money come from? How to add new taxes? How to buy medical insurance? How much does each class cost?
These are the most common and core issues about free medical care for all.
For Citigroup, it still has a reliable economic research foundation and a practical and feasible plan, which can be seen in the presidential elections in recent years.
The advocate said that lofty goals require feasible policies. In the plan they studied and designed, after implementing free medical care for all, some aspects will become money-saving. In fact, it will not cost too much money, but it will bring huge improvements to people's health and form a virtuous cycle.
In terms of taxation, it is naturally to collect more taxes from capital and the rich, cancel subsidies to them, and allow them to bear more medical insurance costs; to collect less taxes from the working class and the vulnerable groups, give them more subsidies, and pay less medical insurance costs.
In this way, everyone will enjoy high-quality medical services and live in a better society.
If you zoom in on the world, the complexity of the plan will increase by hundreds and thousands of times.
However, at least in Citigroup, free medical care for all is feasible; in other countries, it is also feasible.
However, most people in the upper, middle and lower levels are willing to make changes and implement them.
After coming to Citigroup, Gu Jun went to WMO headquarters, FBM headquarters, and some other departments to visit, lobby, and explain the pros and cons. The most common thing he got was to be treated ambiguously. He seemed to be still walking in a piece of scattered mud, not to mention strides, it was difficult to move his feet.
The Chinese New Year is three days away. Maybe it's time to go back to that countryside, go back to celebrate the festival, visit Wu Shiyu's house, go to Cai Zixuan's house to play, and get red envelopes...
But Gu Jun couldn't relax. This lack of progress made it more and more difficult for him to fall asleep every night.
"Stay one more day and go to a few more places." Gu Jun said this to the team members. The more support, the more strength it will be.
That night, his itinerary was to attend a charity salon held in New York City, where there would be many celebrities and rich people. They had a great influence and driving force in Citi. If these people could be attracted to join, it would be a good progress.
The street lights are on, and the salon is held in a banquet hall in a luxury hotel in this bustling city.
Gu Jun attended as a doctor in Goa Mobile Task Force. He is now a celebrity. There is no problem walking on the red carpet, which will only give reporters more topics. However, he entered through the side door of the hotel and avoided the public's attention. The organization has made an explanation to act in a low-key manner and pay attention to his image.
However, the guests of the banquet knew that someone like him would come, and some people attended the event.
At this time, in the huge banquet hall, there were crowds of people and lively chatting and laughter. Gu Jun is now very good at English and does not need to be translated.
His eyes looked around the brightly lit circles, the man in a well-decorated suit, the lady in a gorgeous evening outfit, the waiter walked by the crowd with wine trays, and plates of exquisite food were placed on the salon table. He, the man in a Goa uniform, was like an alien.
"Hey, Mr. Gu!" A middle-aged rich businessman noticed him first. With a surprise call, many people suddenly looked at him, smiling and full of interest.
Now the whole world knows the existence of "supernatural power", and Gu Jun is one of the most outstanding warriors in Goa.
"Hello." Gu Jun nodded to them, not to mention that the rich man Jun spent every day in his daily life. The experiences of the past two years have made him unable to cause a rippling ripples in his heart when he was in such an occasion.
On the contrary, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, not knowing the specific reason.
Maybe it’s because the food is left there and doesn’t need that much. No one here will eat so much, and in the end it will be thrown into the trash can and wasted.
At the same time, several gentlemen and ladies came over.
Gu Jun has read the list of guests and recognized that each of them is a wealthy businessman, a movie star, and a celebrity. The political stances of these people are originally quite left-wing, and it is logically easy to fight for.
After getting to know each other and greetings, Gu Jun quickly began lobbying, "Everyone, I want to talk to you about the 'free medical plan for all mankind'."
He had to follow the principle of confidentiality and did not disclose information such as the mysterious world, the black goat, the negative choice of life, and there was no need to say so much about making this proposal.
This is not a novel proposition, we are committed to making the world healthier.
The novelty is the next point, otherwise, global disasters and plagues will continue to come and become more and more serious, and no one living in the world will be left out of the matter.
"We have a responsibility to save the world." Gu Jun said sincerely, looking at them saying nodded, "We get more, we have to give more."
"Of course, I agree with your point of view, Mr. Gu." The middle-aged rich businessman shouted, "We definitely have this responsibility."
"Yes." A female celebrity actor agreed, and everyone around him nodded, "That's right. You can't let the world go any further."
Gu Jun looked at them and said, "Our team is exploring feasible solutions. The biggest question is where the money comes from, so we have to raise enough money to push it like a snowball to give people confidence and gather strength."
He paused and said more solemnly: "Everyone, I sincerely invite you to sign and join this plan. We may first operate in the form of a foundation. The plan has not been determined yet, and we can make more suitable adjustments. Once the first phase of the action begins, this may require you to invest 15% of your annual income."
These men and ladies who were still nodding enthusiastically just now seemed to be stunned and their words stopped.
"Mr. Gu, are you saying... the annual income is 15%, specifically for this project? Other taxes need to be paid, and our taxes need to be increased?"
“Yes, we get more, we have to give more.”
Gu Jun noticed that the faces changed slightly.
