When Cao Dewang saw that Wanfu Temple was in such a dilapidated state, he decided to take out some money to repair the temple. Unexpectedly, the abbot of the temple asked for a huge amount of money, from 16 million at the beginning to 20 million, and later to 250 million. After learning about this, Cao Dewang was not angry at all. Instead, he felt that the abbot was doing the right thing.
Among so many entrepreneurs in our country, Cao Dewang is a very special one, because many entrepreneurs have only one goal after making money, that is, how to make more money?

But Cao Dewang is an exception, because after making money, he had only one idea, that is, how to give back to society and how to repay the country. He knew that he could make so much money because of the support of the people and the encouragement of the country.
Whenever the country is in trouble, Cao Dewang will never sit idly by, which is his most remarkable point. Moreover, when he sees many people in deep crisis, Cao Dewang will do his best to help those in need.
In 2016, Cao Dewang did something very remarkable. He spent 250 million yuan to repair a temple. At that time, many people thought that it was definitely the abbot of the temple who had cheated Cao Dewang. After all, why would it cost so much money to repair something?

Moreover, at the beginning, the abbot of the temple also said that if he wanted to repair it, it would only cost 10 million yuan. However, after hearing that Cao Dewang was willing to undertake the contract, the price increased dozens of times.
If that's the case, why does he have to repair this temple?
After entering the temple, Cao Dewang was completely shocked by the situation inside. He thought that the temple he saw must be as magnificent as the Manpukuji Temple in Japan, but after walking in, there was no magnificent scene at all, but instead it gave people a very vicissitudes of life feeling.
Seeing the temple so dilapidated, Cao Dewang felt it was a pity. When walking in the temple, he found that the walls in many rooms had fallen off.
Why did Cao Dewang suddenly decide to go to this temple? We have to mention one person, the famous entrepreneur Wang Shi.
When he went to Japan, he found that a temple in Japan was different from other temples in that the monks inside spoke Chinese when chanting, which aroused his curiosity.

After entering, he asked why they had to speak Chinese. This inquiry actually involved Fujian Wanfu Temple. It was not until then that he realized that this temple had such a huge connection with Fujian Wanfu Temple.
When he walked into the temple, he also found that the construction style of this temple was completely different from that of other temples in Japan, and it was more inclined to Chinese style and cultural characteristics.
After learning about this, Wang Shi took the initiative to call Cao Dewang and told him the good news.
The two had a common idea, which was to go to Fujian and see Wanfu Temple.
The reason why Cao Dewang has such a strong affection for Wanfu Temple is because his ancestors are related to Fujian, and he is a man with a particularly strong sense of family.
So when he learned about this, he did not hesitate at all and immediately flew from Shanghai to Fujian. The two thought that they could see a lot of China's unique culture and ancient architectural styles in Wanfu Temple in China, but they were greatly disappointed when they arrived at the scene.
Not only were the buildings very dilapidated, there were no abbots inside. When the two were visiting, they suddenly discovered that there were a lot of building materials in one place. One of the few abbots in the courtyard also said: "Actually, before this, we had the idea of ​​repairing this temple, but we didn't have enough funds, so we had to give up."
After hearing the news, Cao Dewang made an important decision. He said to the abbot: "If you have no objection, I am willing to bear all the expenses. I just hope that this temple can regain its former glory."
The reason why the cost of this temple has risen wildly is also related to him. He is very demanding about details in all aspects and the materials used are all the best. Under such circumstances, the cost of the temple will naturally rise.
