Recently, the official website of the Beijing Red Cross Society released two details on the use of social donations, which have attracted the attention and discussion of netizens. The detailed list released on the official website shows that a donor named Beijing Wumu Clothing Co., Ltd. donated multiple items in May and July, including suits, shirts, T-shirts, coats, down jackets, etc. A netizen found that the recipient units of the donated materials in May were Luxinzhuang Village in Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou District, and Beidahua Village in Zhangjiawan Town, with the latter located in the same village as the registered location of the donation company. Meanwhile, according to the official website of the Beijing Red Cross Society, one member of the Executive Council of the Beijing Red Cross Society is named Ji Lianxu, while the legal representative shown in the business registration information of the aforementioned clothing company is also named Ji Lianxu, and the two are suspected to be the same person. In addition, some netizens believe that the marked unit price of donated materials is relatively high, such as a down jacket with a displayed unit price of 880 yuan/piece, a knitted shirt with a price of 400 yuan/piece, and a suit with a price of 288.84 yuan/piece. Based on this information, some netizens have raised doubts about whether the company has actual donation behavior, whether suits, out of season clothing, etc. meet local actual needs, and other issues. According to Tianyancha, a journalist from First Financial News found that the registered address of Beijing Wumu Clothing Co., Ltd. is Beidahua Village, Zhangjiawan Town, Beijing, with Ji Lianxu as the legal representative. Established in 1995, it is an enterprise mainly engaged in the textile and clothing industry. On August 8th, a senior executive surnamed Ji from Beijing Wumu Clothing Co., Ltd. told First Financial reporters that multiple rumors online were misunderstandings. The legal representative of the company, Ji Lianxu, started donating clothing to the Red Cross for free more than a decade ago. He also donated clothing for free to the Wenchuan earthquake, Ludian earthquake stricken areas, and the People's Armed Police Force stationed in Beijing. He also donated computers and donations to impoverished schools in Inner Mongolia. Due to his enthusiasm for public welfare and multiple donations, the Beijing Red Cross Society recommended Ji Lianxu as its executive director through election. Regarding the online questioning of the donated materials, the executive stated that the company's main business is to design and produce clothing products such as suits. During the three-year period of the epidemic, a certain amount of inventory has been accumulated, and the company has used a portion of it for donations, while some donated clothing comes from cooperating suppliers. Due to the positioning of the company's products as mid to high end, with high design and production costs, prices have been marked based on market conditions. The public should not simply compare low-end products as false pricing. The first financial reporter checked the online shopping platform JD store "Wumu Clothing Store" and the registration information shows that it is the above-mentioned company. This store mainly sells suits, pants, shirts, coats and other products, with prices ranging from 99 yuan to 1690 yuan per piece. The majority of clothing in the 200 to 800 yuan range is similar to the prices reported on the official website of the Red Cross. "We are not doing charity for the first time in our first year, and our company has made many external donations before. The reason why we have passed the Red Cross several times in recent years is partly because the process of the Red Cross is relatively standardized, and it is not convenient for us to organize donation activities during the epidemic. At the same time, our senior executive Ji Lianxu is an executive director, so we use this way to contribute more to society." The above executives also stated that there is a signific
