Introduction:
Imagine if that old car could be turned into a huge amount of money that could give hope to those in need?
Zhou Hongyi, the big boss of 360 Company, really did this.
He auctioned off his luxurious Maybach and then generously donated the proceeds to the Wang Xuan Foundation.
So, the question is, do you know what the Wang Xuan Foundation does?
Let's start with a video:

Let's first understand the person Wang Xuan.
Academician Wang Xuan's scientific research spirit
Wang Xuan (February 5, 1937 - February 13, 2006), a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu, was a great figure.
He is not only a master of computer science, but also a double academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and is respected as the originator of Chinese laser phototypesetting technology.
Wang Xuan is known for his innovative mind and perseverance. The Chinese character laser phototypesetting system he led his team to develop is not only technically bullish, but also sells well in the market, and truly turns scientific research results into money.
In this life, Wang Xuan has a true love for science and is loyal to the country. He doesn't want personal fame and fortune, and when he gets a bonus, he either donates it or sets up a fund to reward young people, this kind of despising fame and fortune is really admirable.
The Wang Xuan Foundation is to pass on his scientific research spirit and educational philosophy
Founded by Academician Wang Xuan, the full name of Beijing Jiusan Wang Xuan Care Foundation is a non-public foundation specializing in funding and public welfare activities.
To put it bluntly, it is actually a public welfare organization dedicated to promoting the advancement of science and technology and warming the society. There are so many things they do, and in layman's terms, they are:
1. Send warmth: They will visit those in need and give them support and help.
2. Engage in creation: For example, they also launched an original anti-epidemic song, using the power of music to inspire people.
3. Bonuses: They have set up the Wang Xuan Outstanding Young Scholars Award to reward young people who have made outstanding achievements in the field of science and technology.
4. Anti-epidemic: In the face of the epidemic, they also responded positively and contributed their own strength.
5. Fundraising: They support those who are struggling with their lives by accepting donations and raising funds.
Why did Zhou Hongyi fall in love with the Wang Xuan Foundation?
You may ask, there are so many well-known public welfare organizations, why did Zhou Hongyi donate the money to the Wang Xuan Foundation alone, instead of other public welfare organizations? Is there any secret behind this?
It's actually quite simple. Zhou Hongyi and Wang Xuan, the two bigwigs, are both bulls in the technology industry, and they have a lot of similarities, so to speak:
One reason is the identification of values. Zhou Hongyi may feel that the mission of the Wang Xuan Foundation is particularly in line with his own interests, especially its funding for scientific and technological workers and its contributions to education and scientific research.
Academician Wang Xuan is known as a figure of contemporary Bi Sheng, who has made tremendous contributions to China's scientific and technological progress, and Zhou Hongyi is full of respect for this.
Another reason is that they all have an exceptional spirit of innovation. Wang Xuan came up with a laser phototypesetting system for Chinese characters, which made a big change in the printing industry, and Zhou Hongyi is a pioneer of Internet security, and everyone has used 360 security guards.
Another reason is that Zhou Hongyi worked in Founder Group, and Wang Xuan is one of the founders of Founder Group. In 1995, he joined the Founder Group of Peking University as soon as he graduated from graduate school, starting from a programmer to the position of deputy director of the R&D center.
Later, because Founder's main business was not in the Internet, Zhou Hongyi decided to leave and start his own business.
Is there any deep meaning behind this choice?
Let's think about it deeply, does Zhou Hongyi's donation have other meanings?
For Zhou Hongyi, it is not just as simple as moving money from the left pocket to the right pocket, but he also wants to use his influence to make the society pay more attention to public welfare support in the fields of science and technology and education.
The Wang Xuan Foundation may be more in line with his expectations in terms of the efficiency of the use of funds and the effect of charity, ensuring that every donation can be maximized.
Summary: Zhou Hongyi's donation is not just a numbers game
The story of Academician Wang Xuan is not only a legend in the scientific and technological world, but also a spiritual baton.
His contribution is simply a benchmark for China's independent innovation, and Zhou Hongyi's generous donation is definitely the highest tribute to this spirit.
Therefore, Zhou Hongyi's donation has a profound meaning behind it.
He is not only a matter of money, nor is it a number game, but also a support for science and technology education, respect for senior scientists, and a manifestation of his sense of social responsibility as an entrepreneur.
