National Tide 1980.

Ning Weimin's speech was extremely detailed and everyone really listened to it and understood it.

In fact, if you pay a little attention to those who are listening, you can easily find that almost everyone's face is becoming more and more excited.

why?
Because everyone has clearly realized that Ning Weimin is not asking everyone to contribute to the mutual aid association?

It is obvious that he wants to bring countless benefits to everyone.

It can be said that as long as you join this mutual aid association, it will be equivalent to having a part-time job in the future, with an extra support, more security guarantees, and more possibilities to avoid detours.

In fact, there are many things to look forward to for everyone now, but there is only one thing to worry about.

That is how to ensure that this mutual aid association is established as soon as possible and does not die short after its establishment.

Needless to say, Shanghainese have an extraordinary talent for how to take advantage of others.

Chu Haoran saw the loophole at a glance and made frank suggestions.

"Mr. Ning said it very well. According to this system design, the mutual aid association will definitely be a blessing for everyone. But there is one thing. People often don't cherish things that are too easy to get. Kindness and good intentions will also be betrayed. For example, if you can join the association just by being a mainland compatriot, without having to pay anything in advance, then there will definitely be more and more people who will take advantage without paying anything in the future. Think about it, if you can enjoy the benefits without investing or taking risks, who wouldn't join? The key is that this will also increase the management cost of our mutual aid association. After all, the statistical workload will increase several times. How can this be possible? So I think that everyone must pay a certain amount of money to join the membership, even if it is not a lot, but everyone must pay."

Gong Lei, whom Ning Weimin just met yesterday, also agreed with this idea.

Not only is he from Shanghai, but he also studied law, so he has more thorough considerations about the rigor of the system.

"Yes, yes, I also agree that membership fees should be paid, and I think it should be paid once a year. Because if such a group wants to operate for a long time, it must have a long-term and continuous source of income to maintain it. Even if Manager Ning is willing to support it in the long term, we can't rely solely on this source of funds. Otherwise, it would be a typical case of taking advantage of the big players, which is not only unfair to Manager Ning, but also poses too many risks to our mutual aid association. Apart from anything else, this mentality will cause this thing to collapse quickly."

That's not all. Xiaohong actually added, "I also have a suggestion. I think there should be punishments for rewards. Our compatriots in Tokyo are mixed, and even the international students are not all good people. Otherwise, that girl would not have jumped off the building. Just now, it was said that people who let down their motherland and harm their compatriots will be eliminated. I support this point very much, but there is another situation. What if someone's fault is not so serious, but just a general bad habit, or simply low quality? For example, deliberately borrowing money and not paying it back, or reneging on a promise, or spreading bad things about others behind their backs, and there are also petty thefts. For such people, it seems a bit of an exaggeration to eliminate them from the group, but ignoring them will benefit them. Can their points be deducted as a punishment? Or cancel their level privileges?"

I have to admit that collective wisdom is truly amazing.

Like this, everyone brainstormed, and everyone contributed their ideas, which unleashed tremendous energy and further improved the details of the mutual aid association's rules.

Even Ning Weimin couldn't help but admire the smarts of these Shanghai compatriots.

Their cleverness and calculations were of great help at this time. They actually thought of so many loopholes that should be plugged at once, which saved a lot of trouble in the future.

So these proposals were quickly passed one by one, and no one raised any objections.

In the end, everyone agreed that the initial membership fee would be a unified 2,000 yen per person, payable annually, and only in cash.

In addition, the mutual aid association also has the right to supervise and punish members for some behaviors that are not illegal but violate public order and good morals and are immoral.

Members can report such unethical fellows if they encounter them. Once verified and the investigation process is completed, punishment such as deducting points can be taken at the discretion of the member.

However, when the matter has been discussed to this point, a very practical issue has arisen, which is the issue of the selection of the mutual aid association's management team.

Ning Weimin took the initiative to propose, "Let's leave the design of the membership system and the issue of unified understanding here for now. Now it's time to talk about the management team. Any group or organization needs an organizational structure. I believe everyone understands the importance of this matter. What I mean is that the mutual aid association should have at least one president and one president, and in addition, several vice presidents are needed to serve as directors. There is no fixed number of vice presidents, and the principle is that one person is nominated from each major region. What do you think?"

As soon as he said this, the people present looked at each other and someone immediately spoke up to express his opinion.

"I agree. President Ning has been very thoughtful. As for the choice of the president, it goes without saying that it is President Ning. I nominate President Ning as the president. No one should be dissatisfied, right?"

As expected, after the first person spoke, many voices echoed him, and someone immediately followed suit, "How could anyone not be convinced? President Ning's contribution to the mutual aid association is obvious. Apart from anything else, 100 million yen in funds is at least equivalent to 100 million points. In this mutual aid association, who can contribute more than President Ning? Of course, the position of president can only be President Ning. He is everyone's savior..."

Others said, "It's not just a matter of funding. The system was designed by President Ning, and the meeting was convened by President Ning. He is the founder of this mutual aid association. Moreover, our points redemption depends on him. Without President Ning's corporate support, what use will our points have? In terms of contribution value and importance, President Ning ranks first, and he deserves it. In my opinion, President Ning should be both chairman and president. Many Japanese companies are like this..."

I have to say that Ning Weimin's prestige is quite high and his popularity is super high.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is what everyone expected.

It's a pity that people are different after all. There are always people who ruin the atmosphere at important moments. Just when everyone said that this matter was completely undisputed, Wang Yan expressed her disagreement again.

"Yes, yes. He has paid such a large sum of money. Of course he should be the president. Otherwise, wouldn't the money be wasted? But there is one thing I don't understand. He paid the money, he set the rules, and he is the president. So what is the difference between this mutual aid association and his private property? How can fairness be guaranteed? How can we ensure that the money is used where it should be used? Then he has the final say. So there is no need for other cadres to be nominated by everyone. They all have to listen to him anyway. Why bother? Everyone should just listen to his instructions honestly and don't go through this formality..."

The destructive power of these words was not small, and the temperature at the scene dropped sharply immediately.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling awkward.

I think you want to blame Wang Yan.

But this woman's "yin and yang" are "yin and yang", but what she said does make some sense.

If I really scolded her, it would inevitably be suspected of flattering Ning Weimin. Who knows if others would misunderstand it?
But if we don't blame her, everyone would be afraid that Ning Weimin would lose face.

So I was really in a dilemma for a while and didn’t know what to do.

Fortunately, Ning Weimin had a clear conscience about these heart-piercing questions.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he was not anxious, but smiled in a relaxed manner. After looking around, he said to everyone, "Thank you for recommending me. This is a sign of trust in me. Although Wang Yan's words are a bit deliberately targeted and not very pleasant to hear, to be fair, if it were me, I might think the same way. So I think there are a few things I need to explain to everyone. Otherwise, I really can't do my job as the president. It will be difficult to handle this bowl of water for everyone, and it will not be fair even if I handle it evenly in the future."

"First of all, I want to make it clear that there is a difference between the positions of the president and the club president. The president is responsible for making plans, the club president is responsible for specific implementation, and the vice president is responsible for assisting in decision-making and communication between the upper and lower levels. Therefore, among the management, except for the club president who needs to stay in the mutual aid association every day, other positions do not need to. In other words, only the president has a salary, and no one else does. As the president, I am only responsible for funding, making decisions, and pointing out the direction of development. I will not interfere in specific management affairs."

"Secondly, this mutual aid association is not a business but a charity. Even though I provide the funds, I cannot spend the money at will. In order to prevent the charity from becoming a business, financial supervision is a must. Not only does the financial supervisor need to prepare the income and expenditure bills, but where the money was spent and how it was spent must also be made public at the end of the year to give everyone an explanation. I believe that only by maintaining financial transparency and independence can our group truly gain everyone's trust."

"Third, I can speak here because everyone gives me face. I am not a savior. My role is just to bring everyone together and guide everyone to work in the same direction. The real savior is not me, but everyone ourselves. Just like the Internationale sang, 'There has never been a savior. We don't rely on gods or emperors. To create human happiness, we have to rely on ourselves.'"

"To be honest, if you look through history, you won't find any record of a savior saving the world. Because there is no record, there has never been one. It has always been the rescuers who are rescued, and the rescued who save others. If you don't plan to stand up on your own, even if God comes, it will be useless. What do I want? In fact, I just want to have such an opportunity to work together with everyone, help each other, trust each other, and live a better life in Japan."

"How about it? Is it okay for me to do this? Will everyone continue to trust me?"

In fact, Ning Weimin’s last sentence is a bit redundant.

You have to know that in this era, there is no organization or group in the country that maintains such openness to all its members.

Ning Weimin's compatriots simply couldn't think of a better way.

Everything he said was a surprise beyond my expectations, so how could I have any objections?

So, when Ning Weimin asked this question, no one hesitated at all, and almost everyone shouted excitedly.

"I can trust it! Of course I can trust it!"

Some people even clapped to show their support.

Especially Li Xiaojiang, who was afraid that the outspoken Wang Yan would continue to offend others at this critical juncture, so he kept his eyes on the woman and forced Wang Yan to be afraid to speak. She opened her mouth and lowered her head in frustration.

Even that was not all. Later, in order to ease the relationship with Ning Weimin, Li Xiaojiang not only made a few remarks to smooth over Wang Yan's behavior, but also took the initiative to offer donations to atone for Wang Yan's sins and make up for her just now rude behavior.

"Boss Ning, Wang Yan is a person who likes to be serious. She talks but doesn't mean what she says. You are a magnanimous person, so please don't take it personally. As for me, I support all your suggestions and really hope that this mutual aid association can be established as soon as possible. So as one of the people in Beijing who is doing well, I have decided to follow your example and donate some money to our mutual aid association. I can't compete with you, so I will just donate 1 million yen."

Looking at Li Xiaojiang's fearful look, and then looking at Wang Yan's angry look but not daring to do it again.

Everyone knew what was going on, but no one would say it out loud and everyone just smiled.

Ning Weimin saw all of this and of course understood what Li Xiaojiang was thinking. He said generously, "Actually, I also know that Wang Yan didn't have any other intentions. She just felt uneasy because she didn't ask some questions clearly."

Li Xiaojiang said quickly with a big smile on his face, "Yes, yes, that's what she meant."

In this way, there was no more disagreement in the meeting from then on.
And soon, other candidates for management organization were also nominated.

Everyone elected Zhang Liling as the president.

She came here to study stage directing, so she has relatively more free time.

In addition, she was beautiful, had a good image, a particularly cheerful personality, and was particularly good at handling interpersonal relationships, so she won with a considerable advantage in the number of votes and got the position.

Even though everyone has only met each other a few times, many people already know her, and regardless of whether it is because of her background as an actress, everyone generally has a good impression of her.

The position of vice president mostly falls to those who have more prestige.

Chu Haoran is the representative of Shanghai people, Sun Wufu is the representative of Hebei people, and even Li Xiaojiang has become the representative of Beijing people.

Such election results are not surprising at all.

So far, it can be said that the mainland hometown mutual aid association already exists.

If there is anything worth mentioning, it might be that Li Xiaojiang broke up with Wang Yan in the taxi after the banquet.

It was not for any other reason, but because Wang Yan could not see how profitable this mutual aid association was. Not only did she dare to offend Ning Weimin during the meeting, she also went against the will of the world.

Even afterwards, they did not remember the good things Li Xiaojiang had done for them. Instead, they blamed Li Xiaojiang for being taken advantage of and donating one million yen to the mutual aid association for nothing.

After what happened today, Li Xiaojiang really felt that Wang Yan was too stupid.

A woman can be stupid, but she cannot be foolish. There is an essential difference between these two points.

A stupid woman at least knows how to listen to men and knows that she is not capable of doing anything.

Stupid women have no self-awareness at all and are mysteriously self-confident.

Anyone who meets a stupid woman and doesn't know how to avoid her will suffer from her sooner or later. (End of this chapter)
