彭博社：安利利用哈佛大学成就与中国的关系(20)

　　超越利润

　　“一位中国安利员工会与这些官员一同前往哈佛大学，同时也会监控他们的健康和幸福情况”，Anthony Saich说，“安利公司建议添加具有中国特点的案例研究，赞助让安利表明，它在中国有比赚取利润更多的兴趣”。

　　安利提供了他们和政府高级官员谈论的机会，另外，安利还提供给他们一个当地的网络，他们可以与之互动。这些官员来自中国的每一个省。

　　黄德萌说，“除了这个计划之外，永远不会再有任何更好的、更直接的商业利益给到安利公司了。”他补充说，“它的重要性已经越来越明显”。

　　安利已经能够完成其他外国企业没有完成的事情。黄德萌说，“安利是第一个，并且是唯一的一家外国公司，可以获准与中国民政部联合注册慈善基金会。姜力，民政部副部长，也是安利研究员。安利公司同时还捐赠并组织志愿者为政府慈善做贡献。

　　Beyond Profits

　　An Amway employee from China travels with the officials to Harvard to monitor their health and happiness, Saich says. And the company has suggested adding China-specific case studies, he says. Saich says the sponsorship lets Amway show it’s interested in more than profits in China.

　　“It gives them something to talk about with senior government officials,” he says. “Secondly, it probably gives them a local network base that they can interact with. They have people from the program in every single province around China.”

　　Wong says there has never been any direct commercial gain to Amway China from the program. Still, he adds, “its importance has become more and more noticeable.”

　　Amway has been able to accomplish things other foreign enterprises haven’t. It was the first and remains the only foreign company allowed to register a charitable foundation with the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wong says. Jiang Li, one of the vice ministers of civil affairs, is a former Amway Fellow. The company also makes donations and organizes volunteers to contribute to government charity efforts.
