"Every time China Mining University sues a di

Every time a special commentator Jiang Guangxiang

Recently, Wu You, an alumnus of China University of Mining and Technology, was on the hot list for not fulfilling a donation of 11 million yuan and being executed as a dishonest person. According to data, on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of China University of Mining and Technology in 2019, Wu You, a 2008 level alumnus, publicly announced that he would donate 11 million yuan to his alma mater. This donation is known as the highest donation record in the history of the university. For a moment, it became a beautiful conversation among alumni of China Mining University. Subsequent news reports showed that after the donation ceremony, multiple media outlets conducted promotional reports on Wu You and the company he founded, including the headline "Jing Hu Capital Wu You: Finding a Needle that Pierces the Sky". Wu You was also the smallest donor at that time (post 90s) on the Top 100 Chinese Donors List (2019). But until Wu You was indicted by her alma mater four years later, none of the 11 million yuan was accounted for.

It is reported that Wu You has dropped out of school as a sophomore to start a business, but still regards her alma mater as the starting point of her dream. At the age of 24, Jinghu Capital was founded. The name also comes from Jinghu, the inner lake of China University of Mining and Technology, which shows its sincere affection for its alma mater. Wu You expressed his gratitude for the cultivation and inclusion of his alma mater through a huge donation after his successful entrepreneurship. It can be seen that he is also willing to implement his abundant friendship with his alma mater. The school has also invested various human and material resources to cooperate with the promotion, which could have been circulated as a good story and would have a demonstration effect on other alumni. Because alumni are a valuable resource for the school, in addition to the most direct donations, they will also help and support the employment of graduates from their alma mater. However, as we approach the situation of being brought to court today, other alumni naturally have mixed feelings in their hearts, which will certainly have an impact on the possibility of future donations for some of them. But looking at it in the long run, China Mining University's move will play a good corrective role for the entire Chinese charity.

In fact, when publicly publicizing her investment resume after the donation ceremony, Wu You was already spotted by some alumni as being out of order because she claimed to have publicly available information on her investment in several films to verify. "As angel investors managing a 4.7 billion yuan fund, guests of Ma Yun and Lei Jun have sponsored thousands of orphans.". These alumni had also foreseen that they would be beaten in the face today. After all, this is not a drunken brag at a classmate's meeting 10 years after graduation, because from a legal perspective, it is a "fraudulent donation" and a "white whoring" against your alma mater. The so-called "fraudulent donation" refers to a promise made on a public welfare donation occasion but not fulfilled. In this process, the donor has gained reputation but failed to fulfill the donation obligation. Therefore, a creditor's debt relationship can be formed, and the recipient unit or individual can initiate a civil lawsuit to claim rights. "If it is not a donation promised in public, but a unilateral act that belongs to an oral commitment, it will count if it is fulfilled. If it is not fulfilled, it will be a waiver of the donation and will not bear any legal responsibility.". Therefore, it is okay to brag in a small scale, and there is no equivalent of exchanging fame and wealth with fraudulent donations. However, from the perspective of personal morality, it is often despised by people.

Before that, the public paid more attention to the fraudulent donation of celebrities, and the failure of talented people such as entrepreneurs to keep their promises, which were often ignored. Of course, the author believes that, as a last resort, even ordinary individuals are not likely to easily violate public commitments, especially those with the nature of public welfare and moral obligations, not to mention to their beloved alma mater, because public donations themselves are also a good thing for both fame and fortune and win-win results. However, despite the notoriously bad business in the past few years, Wu You, after gaining fame and setting up a good staffing structure, did not pay anything, giving even a million, 100000, or equivalent to his alma mater, and did not give a batch payment time to demonstrate his sincerity. This makes it difficult to blame his alma mater for losing patience and feeling angry at being cheated. In recent years, the credibility of domestic charitable acts has also remained at a level that needs to be improved. At such a moment, it is not inappropriate for China University of Mining and Technology to choose to sue in court to assert their rights.

It is quite humorous to recall early public reports such as "Jing Hu Capital Wu You: Finding a Needle that Pierces the Sky". Wu You once used the phrase "thunder is loud, rain is small" to describe his investment and actions. In his eyes, "thunder is loud" refers to having big dreams, big goals, and daring to think. "Small raindrops" represent doing small things, having a small foothold in investment decisions, and conscientiously doing every little thing well in work and life. "The thunder is loud and the rain is small", reflected in his investment logic, refers to "a market like the sky, a needle like entry", which may have the ability to pierce the sky. Now, "thunder is loud and rain is small" has a completely different meaning, and the needle he found just caused a big hole. However, for donors such as their alma mater, they will also experience a setback and gain wisdom. At least, they can agree to cooperate with the platform after seeing that the donor has partially performed the contract.
