Excerpted from Lu Xun's Hot Wind Capriccio 4 1.
The same hobby and the same topic have brought many people together and turned them into large and small groups, and the Drivers Association is one of them.
Let's not talk about cars this time. Let's talk about the positive energy of the motorists' club during the epidemic-donate to Wuhan and share some experiences in the donation process.
I've thought about it, too. In fact, there are many donation activities and I can't finish writing them, but why write them?
This is because, before chatting with people in the Cheyouhui, I always thought that donation was actually quite simple, which was nothing more than the process of raising money, purchasing materials and delivering them to donors, but after understanding it, I found that things were not that simple.
Next, I will show you how they did it.
Tesla Auto Club does both.
"I think as long as things are right and have a clear conscience, it is worth doing. 」
In the interview, TLC? Group owner? Coco? Tell me that.
Initiation of donation
TLC？ what's up Tesla? Lady? Club? The abbreviation is a group of Tesla female riders in Beijing.
New Year's Eve (1? Month? 24? Sunday) evening? 10? Around eight o'clock, all the people who are watching the Spring Festival Gala suddenly arrived? TLC？ The crowd became lively.
The reason is that everyone has seen the news that Wuhan is in urgent need of materials.
According to? Coco? Said, "At that time, after sending the news, everyone said, how can I watch the Spring Festival Gala? I can't laugh at the sketch. Then some riders asked me privately, why don't we donate? 」
See everyone so positive, Coco? Decided to verify the authenticity of the news immediately.
She asked her relatives who worked in a hospital in Wuhan. "I checked with them and told them about it. Then they gave me feedback and talked about the big environment. Come to the conclusion that the news is true. " Coco? So.
After confirming the authenticity of the news, she began to initiate donation activities in the group. According to her, everyone responded quickly to this donation and basically donated it? 500? Since about Yuan, riders have been very supportive of this matter.
Here, I want to talk about another group of riders-Tesla? tξSLA？ Car owners.
Equity (hereinafter referred to as? h？ Is it Tesla? tξSLA？ Owners of car owners, too? Coco? My friend. After seeing the news? h？ Mr. Wang also has plans to donate.
1? Month? 25? Oh, my God, are you finished? TLC？ After the donation activity was launched, H? With what, sir? Coco? Discuss and do together. According to? h？ Mr. Wang said that most of the riders in the group were very supportive, so he began to organize donations.
(from? h？ Mr. Wang chats screenshot)
Meet with difficulties at first.
The donation didn't go as smoothly as expected. Although most people can feel the same way, it is still only the majority. h？ When Mr. Wang sought the opinions of riders in the group, he was questioned by a few riders.
Coco? Tell me, h? Mr. Wang has two questions:
First, some people think that donations are for personal benefit, and they think that the purpose of doing so is to make themselves famous or something else.
Second, some people think that the information is not true, and it may just be hype. They think that the hospital is not so short of materials, even if it is short, it will be solved in two days.
Coco? They think that the country will soon solve the problem of masks, which is not our responsibility. Our strength is just a drop in the ocean. They are all optimistic and don't think what we do will really help those medical staff.
In fact, what the state can help is mainly the places that are seriously affected, and others are difficult to take care of. For example, we donated money to a hospital in Huanggang, and they were short of materials. 」
Therefore, she believes that it is very helpful for the hospital to send the materials as soon as possible.
In addition to material help, there are also some emotional comforts for medical staff. Because there will be some minor problems between doctors and patients, which makes doctors feel sad. Through this donation in Wuhan, they can also feel a lot of care from the society.
To sum up, she feels that sometimes it is easy to think about it or watch others do it. But if you really do it yourself, you will face many difficulties.
"Execution is no problem, as long as you do it step by step, you can solve it slowly. But sometimes there will be a lot of questioning voices, and then it is difficult to do it firmly. 」Coco？ Speaking of which.
She also said, "I think as long as things are right and have a clear conscience, it is worth doing." People who really want to be charitable should be firm and upright, so that they can face all kinds of remarks calmly. "
Facing the questions of riders, H? Mr. Wang said, "We will explain, but if they still think so, there is nothing they can do, because some things must be done by someone." ? 」
During pregnancy? coconut tree
The donation just started, Coco? I was busy at first, and then what? h？ Mr. Wang hasn't joined yet, so it's difficult for me to handle this matter alone. I'm pregnant and the baby is coming. 」
Are you online? h？ After Mr. Wang joined, everyone began to organize and the division of labor became clearer.
"Everyone is considerate of me and won't let me do anything. Everyone has worked hard for this. At two or three in the morning, I think everyone is still discussing donations in the group. 」Coco？ When you talk to me, there is emotion between the lines.
Because they have to verify the quality of materials, logistics and other issues, and at that time docked more than a dozen suppliers, need to ask one by one.
After confirming that the materials are qualified, it is necessary to confirm with the hospital whether the model of the materials meets the standards of the hospital. So there will be a lot of things to be implemented in the middle, which will be very troublesome.
"It's really touching that everyone is so keen on something that doesn't pay off. 」Coco？ Speaking of which.
In addition, she also told me that they are a group of * * *? 300? A lot of people. Where? 100? Many people donated money. Compared with previous donation activities, this donation amount is the largest.
(from? TLC？ Cheyou's chat screenshot)
"We have never done such a big thing. In the past, donations were very small. We will help some orphans and donate some things related to life and study. 」
Seeing that everyone responded quickly and basically donated? 500? Yuan, she really doesn't know what to say.
Donate materials, not donations.
At the same time as the donations from the motorists' associations of both sides, H? Mr. Wang's channels of finding suppliers and contacting logistics are also synchronized.
As for why not donate directly, but choose to donate materials. ?
h？ Mr. Wang said: "In fact, there is no shortage of money now. The recipient is Wuhan Charity Federation or similar organizations. However, we are also worried that some organizations do not seem to allocate their donations reasonably, so we donate materials directly instead of donations. ? 」
According to him, materials were relatively easy to buy. When they purchased, the country had not officially taken over the private mask factory, so it was easier to purchase materials. But now that the state has taken over, it is even more difficult.
Regarding the material, he has some points for attention that he wants to tell you.
"At that time, we also saw a lot of news that donated materials could not be used in hospitals and could not meet medical standards. So after finding the supplier, we will send the relevant qualification certificates and product pictures to our people to contact the hospital and ask if the materials meet the standards and can be used. Make sure it meets the standards before making a purchase. 」?
(screenshot of hospital signing chat)
Difficulties beyond questioning
Apart from the initial difficulties, H? Mr. Wang said that material suppliers are not easy to find, and they are all introduced by his friends or by other means.
Besides, about the donation? h？ Mr. Wang is the first time to set foot in it, and he has never been in contact with it before, so I don't know if the channel is reliable, and there will be great risks here. After that, they looked for more than a dozen, and finally they could only buy one or two.
In addition, because the epidemic broke out during the Spring Festival, most employees of the mask factory went home for the New Year, unwilling to come back to work overtime or gather in crowded places. The productivity of masks in all factories has not improved. Therefore, channels will be hard to find, and there will be fewer manufacturers with goods.
h？ Mr. Wang said, "When looking for supply channels, we also looked for Korean imports, American imports, Myanmar, Southeast Asia and so on, but in the end we didn't use these channels."
The main reason is that the intermediate cycle will be longer, and it will be slower for materials to be shipped from overseas and then turned around. So I finally found a factory in China. 」
Despite the difficulties, but? h？ Mr. Wang said that they are also very satisfied with the manufacturer's practice.
"We found this domestic manufacturer, and they especially recognized their support for Wuhan. During this period, they will not sell materials separately, mainly through the channels of donation in Wuhan. If someone asks them to donate to a hospital in Wuhan, priority will be given to the list. I really appreciate it here. 」H？ Mr. Wang said.
Finally, the logistics problem, H? Mr. Wang said, "Because of the Chinese New Year holiday, many logistics have stopped, or there are many rumors that logistics can't get in." So logistics will be more difficult during that time. 」

This is a donation, not trouble.
There is a little story among the donations. Coco? Tell me, "I sent a picture of someone else's hospital donation receipt in the group, probably to ask your opinion." Do you want us to issue a certificate to be more open and transparent?
But everyone immediately became a little angry, saying that we donated money to help others or to create trouble for medical staff. This official seal is buckled, so we have to go through the process. The hospital will take your things and toss them back and forth. 」
(Coco？ Chat screenshot)
Besides cocoa? The friends in the group also said, "Don't our riders trust us? We have to take a photo with the official seal to show them, so that they can trust us? 」。
Finally, Coco? Said something to me, which was very touching. She said, "We? TLC？ The most fundamental meaning of existence is to be able to lead everyone to do something related to environmental protection and charity.
In fact, it can't be called superstition, it is called karma. What we all want to do well, something useful to the world. It is this love that brings us together. 」
Donation details

In addition, some materials are still in preparation and are being actively promoted.
Future toner club
"Doing good is simple, but how to do it is difficult. Every hospital is short-lived, and losing one is good for you. The goal of our efforts is to find a way for all families to make emergency hospitals rank first. "
This sentence comes from the president of Weilai Toner Club-the battery is not fat.
Initiation of donation
The initial fundraising, Toner Club is on New Year's Eve (1? Month? 24? On the day of launch, on the eve of New Year's Eve, the battery was not fat and saw "Crisis! Wuhan? 18? A big hospital asked for medical aid, but he was skeptical at the time.
(Screenshot of Toner Group Chat Record)
"When I saw an article, I called the hospital and asked many local friends in Wuhan, only to know that Wuhan was really nervous, and then I began to donate." The battery is not fat.
According to the fact that the battery is not fat, toner has high self-adhesion.
"Although we are far apart, the activities and the number of people gathered are very impressive. At that time, everyone was watching the Spring Festival Gala, but when the donation started, it was received nearly an hour late. 4? A donation of 10 thousand yuan. " The battery is not fat and proudly said to me.
And cut it off? 2? Month? 6? Day? 16? At that time, how many donations did the Toler Club receive? 6829 16.3 1? Yuan (Wei Lai user fund distribution donation? 20? Ten thousand), it took two weeks to raise funds.
Including the donation from Wuxi Xiniu Association? 2 1500? Yuan and Ai Youwei donated by Jiangyin Cheyouhui? 17300? Yuan, donated by Macau Che Youhui? 1 1838? Yuan donated by Hebei Guojiwei Automobile Association? 2 1933.3 1? Yuan, donated by Hebei Baoding car? 9400? Yuan.
Another toner "Yingying Baba" was donated for one-time purchase? 12? The cost of 10,000 yuan for materials for isolation suits.
(Materials donated by Tona Club)
As for why so many people donate money, the battery is not fat. "The main reason is that there is enough transparency between toners, and everything is open. This time, the purchase price, delivery place, receiving place, bid-winning notice and donation details were accurately publicized to the people. All these are operated by the working group of the toner organization. There are even personal donations from Weilai employees and executives, and every day's changes make us trust more. 」
I asked if the battery was not fat, and why the Toler people trusted him so much. He jokingly said: "We are straight men, all straight men like steel. 」
With? h？ Mr. Wang's car club is a little different. If the battery is not fat, it means that there are no dissenting riders in the toner pack.
"I didn't see the toner against it, so there is no doubt. They are all thinking about how to make donations meaningful. " The battery is not fat.
While donating money, the toner club has also determined several principles that must be adhered to:
Quality first, and meet the medical standards.
Purchase channels must be reliable.
At a reasonable price
Materials must be sent to those who really need them.
After summing up the experience, the toner club thinks that purchasing is the most important part and the link that needs strict control most.
The battery is not fat. "Especially after all kinds of news exposure, everyone will find that many materials that do not meet the medical standards have not brought positive results after arriving in Wuhan, and many materials have not reached the people who really need them." 」
(Distribute volunteers)
Therefore, the Toler Agency is clear: channels must be opened, and the person in charge of the rescue team or the receiving hospital must be directly contacted to ensure that the materials reach the people who really need them in time.
"Every pair receives a source of goods, we will strictly trace the source of the product, check the background of the other party, ensure that it is genuine, and also ensure the reliability of the purchase channels and distributors." The battery is not fat.
How to complete the donation efficiently?
When asked, "Why can the toner club complete this donation activity efficiently?" The battery is not fat.
The following is the self-report that the battery is not fat.
Toler was able to donate millions of medical gloves, hundreds of thousands of masks and tens of thousands of protective clothing this time.
The fundamental reason is that we have adopted the way of peak-shifting procurement.
We buy medical gloves when we buy masks, protective clothing when we buy protective clothing, and isolation clothing when we buy ordinary masks, so this time we can use every penny flexibly and efficiently with limited funds.
This donation activity has a unified core working group, which is composed of key personnel, professionals in chemical industry, professionals in medical product production, professionals in financial industry and professionals in transportation industry. Working groups facilitate us to exchange information quickly and judge problems and emergencies.
Then the finance team, the hospital information verification team, the German purchasing team, the Thai purchasing team, the British purchasing team and the Indian purchasing team.
On the one hand, a few members cross each other to facilitate information exchange and audit, on the other hand, it reduces the information outbreak of the working group, which is ineffective. These organizations are further divided into protective clothing group, mask group, miscellaneous group and various regional automobile drivers' associations and equipment groups.
A dedicated team with vertical management is convenient for quick price comparison and cost accounting, so as to use funds efficiently.
There is a funny group called debt group, which liquidates employees' funds every night, gives full play to everyone's strengths and flexibly handles a certain amount of purchases, without summarizing and unifying.
There is also a material distribution team, which is responsible for sending distribution forms according to the budget of materials arriving in Wuhan; Dispatch the team to adjust according to the change of site time and the situation of the receiver; The data collection team should check the receipt according to the delivery of the goods, or take back the receipt of the delivered goods in an emergency.
(Distribute volunteers)
Finally, the transport team coordinates the transit of the National Sports Group, the loading capacity of China Railway Express at Shanghai South Railway Station, and the international procurement of materials? FedEx? Freight price, account number, delivery work, etc.
(toner club partial donation receipt)
Wuhan is the most short of materials around.
Many people don't know what happened on the front line. Why do some volunteers prefer to risk infection to deliver goods? They are really too difficult.
In fact, Wuhan is not the most short of materials, but the surrounding area is. The main materials are given to the core hospital in Hubei, and many doctors in other hospitals around are shirtless and lack of materials.
There is nothing in the surrounding cities directly. The standard of purchasing materials has dropped several grades, and the whole world lacks medical care, so we buy industrial standards. Now some garment factories are changing their production lines into industrial standard protective clothing.
What we are purchasing now is the support of industry standards, which is better than going shirtless. Doctors and nurses on the front line are fighting for their lives. We have to do something.
(Hospital donated by Tona Club)
When all the domestic materials are sold out, we will buy foreign ones. We found that many of them were also sold out, and many countries restricted purchases. We entrust a foreign company to buy toner, and then slowly ship hundreds of pieces.
Unforgettable event
During this period, I was deeply impressed by many things. The workload of each of our volunteers has exceeded? 15? Hours, busier than going to work, but everyone enjoys it. Among them, several of our volunteers in Shanghai have already bought materials, and they are carrying them themselves, buying materials themselves and transporting them to the railway station.
In addition, in this donation activity, what are the toners? Zoom? LEO, the founding employee of the company, had a meeting with the boss. With the help of Leo and Toler, zoom? Decided to provide unlimited free online video conferencing services for Chinese people before the epidemic prevention and control was lifted.
At present? 30? More than10,000 people passed? Zoom? Free use at home, for this? Zoom? A bunch of servers and bandwidth resources have been added, with direct capital of millions and foreseeable investment and income of millions. You can say I appreciate it.
And wild one from Tesla came to donate? 1? Wan, there are too many such things.
(Chat screenshot from toner)
There are also Toler's little sisters, who are very caring and willing to volunteer. Originally, hardcore toner was gay, so I only did it when I called them in the group.
Later, I got a donation group, so that the donated toner can see the progress of our donation. There are some young ladies in it. When recruiting volunteers, they are very active, and they all work for more than ten hours.
They are responsible for bookkeeping, contacting the hospital and some purchasing. Because the procurement is industrial-grade, they have to take the information to the hospital and ask if they can use it. Don't do bad things with kindness.
There's really nothing to say. You can still do this in this environment. Besides these two words, there are only two words: gratitude.
Diamond car club covering multiple brands
"He took a few cucumbers himself and suddenly stopped our car and handed it to me. 」
Recalling one thing that impressed me the most on the road to donation, Duan Yu, the founder of donation, said.
Although the gift is light, it shows the warmth of people's hearts.
When donating to Wuhan, Diamond Car Huiyou went to a village in Huanggang to donate materials.
Duan Yu said, "What is the altitude of that village? 1300? Dom, there was a family, and there was no one at home at that time, so we left our things at his door, and when we were ready to leave, he came back. So he took some cucumbers he planted, abruptly stopped our car and handed them to me. To tell you the truth, I am very touched. 」
Different from the above Tesla Motorsports Association, Diamond Motorsports Association is a collection of many brands, including Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Land Rover and other brands. Although the brands are different, they all want to benefit the society.
The following is Duan Yu's self-report.
Our automobile association is a * * *? 5? A group, one of which specializes in public welfare, organizes activities every month.
Not only did we do this activity supported by Wuhan, but we also did some public welfare activities for poor users, poor families and students, giving them rice, oil and other necessities.
(Photo taken on the charity trip of Diamond Che Youhui)
When money is needed for each activity, we will launch a "Solitaire Donation Activity" in the group. All people are voluntary, so it is very important not to mix this kind of thing with moral kidnapping!
When COVID-19 happened, some people came to us and said they wanted to ask us to deliver the goods, and then we joined. Our volunteer team has * *? 100? Many people, we sent materials to many hospitals in Wuhan.
We are completely spontaneous. Everyone in the car club has their own work and career, and everyone takes time to participate in these activities. Our procurement for each event is completely open, so that every participant knows that the donations collected are generally managed by me.
Regarding the source of materials, we mainly seek channels through our own social relations or cooperate with other foundations and non-governmental organizations. We integrate funds, then give them to produce or buy materials, and finally our team of Chehuiyou is responsible for transportation.
Of course, it will be difficult to organize such activities. Some people will think that we are in business and suspect that we are making money by doing this. There is also the need to be prepared to eat instant noodles often.
(Diamond riders meet riders)
Experience sharing of public welfare activities
If you organize this kind of activity, the key is to choose a reliable leader. Before the activity begins, everyone should list all the things that need to be done and put them away before the activity begins, so that it is not easy to get confused.
Organizers must do things with love. When inviting others to join us, everyone must come in voluntarily. It is really important not to kidnap morally! I also want to emphasize to you that you should do what you can and don't do what your own conditions don't allow.
When the activity is going on, the team leader should keep in touch with everyone at any time.
For example, our car club will have many cars every time we leave, and everyone's driving habits are different. So be sure to set the navigation position, where to park and where to rest before you leave. In case of emergencies, the team leader should arrive at the scene in time to ensure that the activities are not affected by emergencies.
It is also necessary to investigate the general situation of donors. For example, if they are old people or poor families, they can send more daily necessities such as rice, oil and salt, because it is a problem to buy them after giving money.
(Diamond Che Youhui Charity Bank during the epidemic)
And now most places are mobile payment, and the elderly don't know much about it and often encounter difficulties. Compared with sending them money, materials will be more practical and efficient.
There is also a donation activity like Wuhan. Everyone knows that Wuhan lacks materials, but the specific materials are rarely said online.
Like at home? N95？ Few people consider which manufacturers are producing masks and whether the manufacturers they are looking for have the production qualification of materials. Most people buy some online, and then mail them to places according to their addresses, thinking that they have finished donating.
In fact, there is a misunderstanding here. We suggest that we should first know the specific needs according to the hospitals we contact, preferably specific to the product model and their daily consumption, which will greatly improve the efficiency of donation activities.
postscript
It seems quite common that there are too many donations in our life. But ordinary does not mean ordinary, and it is not easy to donate organizers. They not only have to pay money and materials, but also bear risks, malicious comments and physical fatigue.
And the starting point of all this, as Duan Yu car owners said, is to have a love.
Although love is small, when love comes together, it becomes the hope of society and every generation.
Here, I also hope that the positive energy stories of drivers and riders can infect more people.
So, if you have any stories about this, please contact me, and we will work hard together.
