Lai Changxing easily became a "tycoon" through smuggling.On the surface, he is enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings, gathers philanthropic sources, and does many good deeds. His purpose is to establish a new image for Yuanhua Company, and to create a good reputation for himself. In 1998, Jiangxi, Hunan and other places suffered severe floods that had not happened in a century, and relevant departments from all over the country donated money and materials to the disaster-stricken areas one after another.Yuanhua Group organized more than a dozen large trucks, loaded with various relief supplies, to drive from Xiamen to Jiujiang, Jiangxi.At the disaster relief charity performance held by CCTV, Lai Changxing donated millions of yuan and was commended by the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce.

In Xiamen, "Yuanhua" has been prominent for a long time, and it has become a banner of private enterprises in Xiamen. "Yuanhua" is everywhere, including Yuanhua brand cigarettes, Yuanhua Hotel, Yuanhua Film and Television City... especially the Yuanhua football team. This is a special bronzing of the city that Xiamen people are very proud of "business card". In 1998, after Xiamen Football Club was established, it wanted to merge Guangdong Foshan Football Team. The relevant leaders of the municipal government came forward to negotiate with Lai Changxing, hoping that he could invest 40 to 50 million yuan to buy the naming rights of the new team. Lai Changxing readily agreed.From then on, the newly formed Xiamen Yuanhua football team began to recruit and change generals and coaches. It became famous and vowed to compete with famous teams.Especially in the minds of fans in Xiamen, "Yuanhua" has almost become an "idol".When the football team played home games in Xiamen, the Xiamen Stadium was full of people. Many people wore advertising shirts with the words "Yuanhua" printed on them, and they were in high spirits, waving flags and shouting desperately, cheering and cheering.When a football team plays an away game in another place, Lai Changxing is even more "generous". He personally leads the team, charters a special plane, and sends various dignitaries and fans from various departments to watch the football. , In fact, it is also a time to engage in "tackling key problems". Yuanhua implements the "three guarantees" policy, that is, "one-stop" contracting of air tickets, accommodation, and meals.The Yuanhua football team really lived up to expectations and soon became the leader of A and B teams.Some fans in Xiamen have never forgotten the original righteous deed of "Yuanhua", which is what Lai Changxing called "great achievements" that benefited Xiamen.

Lai Changxing also sponsored many cars to the public security, courts and other judicial departments. Anyway, he smuggled cars himself, and the source was convenient. Some were used to sell and make money, and others were used for donations and sponsorships.It is said that some of the 110 convoys of the Zhangzhou and Jinjiang police were sponsored by him. Lai Changxing has done some charitable work to build bridges and pave roads.He built a memorial archway at the entrance and exit of Shaocuo Village, on which there are several gilded characters donated by Mr. Lai Changxing who lived in Hong Kong.After the opening of the Fuzhou-Xiamen Expressway, he built a pedestrian bridge on the highway at the exit, in Fuze Township, to provide convenience for the villagers.

Lai Changxing seems to have not forgotten to "help the poor" after "getting rich".He paid for the rebuilding of a primary school in Shaocuo Village, Qingyang, Jinjiang, where he studied when he was young, and later invested millions of yuan in the construction of a Yuanhua Middle School, which has really made outstanding contributions to the construction of his hometown.He also set up the "Laicuo Elderly Association" in his hometown to give favors and benefits to the elderly in the village over 60 years old, regardless of rich or poor, and each person is given a monthly allowance of 500 yuan. Lai Changxing has to pay more than 1 million yuan a year for this. Lifting not only reduces the pressure of supporting children, but also helps the elderly to enjoy their old age in peace.

Lai Changxing's charitable deeds have indeed touched many people. The folks in Lai's hometown are still saying good things about Lai Changxing after the Yuanhua case happened: "No matter how others curse him, it cannot be denied that he has done some real things for our people. It’s a good thing.” A childhood friend who is said to have played with Lai Changxing when he was naked, even complained for him: “He is the hardest person in the world, and everything he does is for the sake of others.” There are still many anecdotes about Lai Changxing using black money to do good deeds. He went to the Ministry of Public Security to find Li Jizhou, and it happened to coincide with Vice Minister Li’s reception day. Li’s office was crowded, and many people wanted to complain and petition. Distributing "support money" to those petitioners on the spot, his feat really achieved the effect of calming people down.Li Jizhou was amazed at the time, saying that Fatty Lai managed to do what his deputy minister could not do.
