Recently, Deng Fei is busy preparing to apply for his seventh special fund, the China Children's Safety Fund, which will focus on the protection of girls and preventing girls from being violated.

Within the past two years. Deng Fei has initiated and established six special funds: Weibo Anti-Human Trafficking Fund, Free Lunch Fund, China Rural Children’s Major Illness Medical Insurance Public Welfare Fund, Let Migratory Birds Fly Fund, China Water Security Public Welfare Fund, and Warm Current Fund.

No one in China can promote so many public welfare funds in such a short period of time like Deng Fei.

Before starting the free lunch fund, Deng Fei was an investigative reporter, working for Hong Kong's "Fount Weekly". Having been an investigative reporter for ten years, he has written some resonant reports and gained a certain reputation in the media circle. Since free lunch was launched in a primary school in Guizhou in April 2011. More schools in poor areas came to express their demands to him, and more funding came to him. He had to transform from a full-time reporter to a full-time public welfare person. Soon, his abilities and talents were fully revealed in the philanthropic field that was once completely unfamiliar to him.

Every time Deng Fei launched an initiative, he won widespread support. Well-known media, popular movie stars, companies and entrepreneurs from across the country all trust and support him, either donating money, gifts, or providing platforms. Deng Fei said that he would set up a "key customer department" to manage these companies and entrepreneurs who provide large amounts of funding.

Leveraging large enterprises

Last year, Deng Fei and his charity team had an independent and fixed office. The office is located on the first floor of Beijing Fosun International Center.

After the success of the free lunch, it attracted the attention of many large companies and entrepreneurs, making fundraising easier. In the first half of this year, China Grain Reserves Management Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "China Grain Reserves") donated cooking oil worth 1 million yuan to support free lunches. A year ago, Sinogros had donated cooking oil worth 1 million yuan for free lunches.

When the free lunch was first launched, Deng Fei discussed the feasibility of conducting a charity auction through Weibo and contacted Wang Shuai, chief marketing officer of Alibaba Group. Later, Alibaba waived the commission for entering Taobao Mall for Taobao stores with free lunch. And the restrictions on product categories for sale have been removed.

In September 2011, Shi Yuzhu, chairman of Giant Network, had more than 4 million Weibo fans. He had previously promised to donate 1 million yuan for every additional 1 million fans. As promised, he had to donate 4 million yuan. In the end, he chose 4 charity projects and donated 1 million yuan each, including free lunches. At this time, the free lunch had only been established for five months.

"After the free lunch, I often went to many places and met some people. They heard that I was Deng Fei and were very surprised. I did what they said they couldn't do. Then I followed They talk about what help they need. "Deng Fei raised funds from entrepreneurs and never encountered any problems. When he met Sina CEO Cao Guowei, Deng Fei directly made a request, "I want to fly everywhere and need air ticket support." Cao Guowei agreed without hesitation. From then on, no matter where Deng Fei flew, Sina paid for the air tickets.

After the box office of the movie "Awkward in Thailand" produced by Enlight Media reached a record breaking 1.2 billion yuan, Deng Fei met Wang Changtian, President of Enlight Media. He asked Wang Changtian how much money Enlight Media made, and Wang Changtian replied 300 million. "I said, then you can donate 1 million to us. He agreed." At the previous "Beautiful Children Charity Night", Wang Changtian had donated nearly 1 million to critical illness medical insurance projects. "We are planning to ask him to donate again at this year's annual meeting." Deng Fei joked.

Cross-border cooperation

Wang Zhenyao, former director of the Department of Social Welfare and Charity Promotion of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, once spoke highly of Deng Fei’s free lunch: “In such a short period of time, such great achievements have been made. This scale of government response is not only unique in the history of Chinese philanthropy, but also unprecedented in some European and American countries. "A unique success cannot be simply summarized by words such as transparency and professionalism. It actually owes more to Deng Fei's strategy. .

Nowadays, free lunch has been equated with Deng Fei personally, and an almost ignored fact is that at the beginning of free lunch, Deng Fei contacted 500 reporters and 22 media*** Promote the same. As a journalist, Deng Fei understands the power of the media. When dozens of media outlets across the country focus on a project, its popularity and influence explode instantly.

Cooperation was more vividly reflected in the fund that Deng Fei later established. Moreover, the objects of cooperation have spanned media, and cross-border cooperation has become the main method.

“When we were working on children’s critical illness medical insurance in 2012, changes began to occur. My sponsor changed from a reporter to the editor-in-chief. Then we achieved a crossover.” Deng Fei said. On the list of sponsors of children’s critical illness medical insurance, there are media tycoons such as Chen Chaohua, editor-in-chief of Nandu Weekly, Shuipi, editor-in-chief of China Times, Zhu Xuedong, editor-in-chief of China Weekly, and Hu Hongxia, editor-in-chief of Jingbao, as well as famous Hosts Zhang Quanling, Qiu Qiming, Zhao Pu, Hua Shao, as well as entrepreneurs such as Forte Group Chairman Zhang Hua, Enlight Media President Wang Changtian, Wanshili Group President Li Jianhua and other entrepreneurs. Deng Fei also invited two famous scholars to serve as consultants, one is Xu Xiaonian, a professor at China Europe International Business School, and the other is He Bing, deputy dean of the Law School of China University of Political Science and Law. "I'm just shouting and standing next to them," Xu Xiaonian said.

These big guys from all walks of life often have millions or even tens of millions of fans on Weibo, providing immeasurable free publicity for Deng Fei’s charity fund. On this point, Deng Fei made no bones about it, "What we want to unite are superior resources." He believes that cross-border cooperation is a most win-win thing.

What you want is what you want

In the past, Deng Fei used Weibo and QQ groups to spread his charity activities. Now it’s Weibo and WeChat. "Weibo has a huge social scope, and all my resources come from it. Every time I want to do something, I make a request, and countless people jump out." In Deng Fei's eyes, Weibo is like a person, money, After salvaging the resources in the ocean of things, they can then be processed in WeChat. The charity fund initiated and established by him has a dedicated WeChat group.

Weibo made Deng Fei feel like a fish in water. He was unable to change things when he was an investigative reporter. But it can be promoted on Weibo. Weibo is where Deng Fei makes friends with all kinds of people. It is also where he mobilizes resources. He is like a commander-in-chief, issuing initiatives on Weibo, the Chinese military account. "As soon as the donation account was announced on Weibo, people started to donate immediately; when volunteers were needed, as soon as the donation account was announced on Weibo, people responded immediately. I am very lucky, and I can get whatever I ask for!" he said.

On May 27, Deng Fei, Robin Li and others jointly launched the "One Hour Charity" activity. "Charity Hour" was initiated by Baidu and Baidu Alliance. During the event, netizens only need to log in to Baidu's homepage, search for "Charity Hour" and click to send blessings. Baidu Alliance and China Ping An will donate to critical illness medical insurance in the name of the netizen3. 75 yuan. Within an hour, more than 580,000 netizens sent blessings, and Baidu and Ping An jointly donated nearly 2.2 million yuan. Last year, the "Charity Hour" raised 1.08 million yuan for free lunches.

Before this.

Deng Fei has already been involved in "Weibo public welfare marketing", and some large companies have approached him for cooperation. At the end of 2012, Suning.com launched the "Love to the End" charity marketing: for every repost, Suning donated one yuan; for every appliance purchased, Suning also donated one yuan. There is no cap on activities. According to the agreement signed between Suning.com and Deng Fei, part of the funds raised from the event will be donated to Deng Fei's four funds. Deng Fei confidently shouted on Weibo, "Strive for 10 million retweets!" In the end, the sales of goods reached 8.357 million pieces, and Weibo reposts reached 630,000 times. Suning.com donated 200 million to Deng Fei. Ten thousand yuan, including 200,000 yuan for Weibo anti-trafficking, 400,000 yuan for free lunch, 400,000 yuan for serious illness medical insurance, and 1 million yuan for letting migratory birds fly.

With the help of Weibo and the Internet, from its official launch in April 2011 to the end of June 2013, the Free Lunch Fund has raised more than 57.25 million yuan; from its official launch in July 2012 to 2013 In July, the rural children’s critical illness medical insurance public welfare fund raised more than 144.57 million yuan.

Industrialization

On April 20, Deng Fei walked into the campus of China Europe International Business School and became a freshman in the school's MBA class of 2013, with a tuition fee of 640,000 yuan. He made an exception and received two scholarships. One is a media scholarship and the other is a dean's scholarship, with a total of RMB 470,000. In addition, Xu Xiaonian funded 150,000 yuan of the 170,000 yuan that still needed to be paid, and Deng Fei paid for the remaining 20,000 yuan himself.

It was Xu Xiaonian’s suggestion to go to CEIBS to study. “Deng Fei’s team members are very young and very motivated, but there is still a process of accumulation in management experience. He went to CEIBS to study systematically. , It is very helpful for the development of the team. This can be regarded as my indirect support for private welfare undertakings."

Deng Fei understands that Xu Xiaonian hopes that he can become more rigorous, professional and standardized. "After reading, the biggest feeling is that decision-making is more accurate. In the past, decision-making relied on imagination, talent and intuition, but now it relies more on data, charts and facts."

Another change is , he began to re-evaluate public welfare projects from an economic and commercial perspective. At present, Deng Fei is working hard to integrate four public welfare projects for rural children into the "Rural Children's Public Welfare Alliance-China Rural Children United Public Welfare", hoping to act in a unified manner in the form of a consortium. To this end, he commissioned Hangzhou-based Tongce Group to develop a public welfare community similar to Tianya, which will be officially released on August 26. "The public welfare community is a cluster. Only clusters can develop. This can further enhance the industrialization of China's public welfare. I just want to industrialize public welfare."

In Deng Fei's design, this public welfare community website It will go beyond tradition and place more emphasis on visualization. "When you open a webpage, it's a map. The map covers all the information you want. I want to make this information more visible." Deng Fei described.

After the website is built, the public welfare fund initiated by Deng Fei will become the first batch of projects. Then all the people and resources willing to help rural children can come in.

“Through this platform, I can gradually gather all the support for rural children, and we can solve the problem of left-behind children in one fell swoop.” Deng Fei expressed full confidence in the future of China’s 60 million left-behind children.
