Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009
Chapter 535: The richer you are, the better you are at calculating
“Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.”
After returning home, Li Zehua watched Shen Wanyi talking endlessly about the joy of helping people in charity organizations. He listened attentively with great interest on the surface, but he couldn't help but sigh in private.
“If charity is treated as a business, it can certainly be done very well, so well that all parties involved have an opportunity to increase their income, and everyone can be happy.
The fund responsible for hosting the aid projects earns 5% management fee each year, and the bigwigs who hold the power of distribution can take away most of it without anyone noticing.
Individuals who donate out of love satisfy their most simple inner emotions, but they do not realize that perhaps only one out of a hundred of their money can be truly used for practical purposes.
Even if I come forward, I can only guarantee that half of the funds will eventually reach the party being rescued after purchasing through the channels designated by them. Twenty percent is considered too much.
What's more, my original intention was not pure. I relied on charity to avoid being slandered, and even used it to establish a screening mechanism that would not be noticed by others, and to cultivate some people who could not see the light from an early age.
No one dares to uncover this channel of profit transfer because it will lead to a collective counterattack from everyone. In order to maintain a steady stream of income, thousands of people will take the initiative to protect my reputation and the group's reputation.
The cost is just a small amount of money, not to mention that the fate of thousands of people has been changed because of the group's good deeds.
The most important thing is that she also likes this career, and that is enough."
I don't know when it started, but the way he thinks and looks at problems began to change slowly. He always puts his own interests first and upholds traditional simple values.
Even the moral standards and legal provisions that once constrained his every word and action gradually became blurred, and the starting point for everything he did became calculation.
When it is an equal exchange and the gain is greater than the expenditure, he will do it without hesitation, and he will not hesitate to trample on the rules, because the price he pays is also materialized as a kind of resource.
Fortunately, he still has a little bit of awe in his heart, because he is not the most powerful one, and he still has people and things to protect.
“Don’t push yourself too hard. There are many things you can ask your subordinates to do, especially going into the mountains. It’s dangerous even if someone follows you.
You don’t know if those people are carrying the virus, and you don’t know if any of them will suddenly rush out and want to do something dangerous.”
Every time Shen Wanyi goes out, she is followed by enough security forces, but they are not omnipotent, especially when entering areas with infectious diseases to help with poverty alleviation, in case of infection.
Li Zehua didn't dare to continue imagining, "Promise me, if there is any danger, let them do it."
Shen Wanyi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded without refusing. She was not stupid, she just simply felt pity for those poor people who could let her abandon her current life and go back to the past.
She didn't want to either.
She is from Daliang Mountain in Sichuan Province. She has worked hard to change her destiny by learning knowledge. She understands better than ordinary people how hard it is to have a happy life.
She cherishes him very much, so she doesn't want to embarrass him.
But her not mentioning it doesn't mean Li Zehua doesn't know, "A few days ago, I changed my second sister's job. What future does it have for a girl to be a salesperson and smile at others?
While you are still young, learn some skills to support yourself, whether you want to work in human resources management, administration, or professional financial management in the future. "
Shen Wanjun has been in Modu for a long time, but he didn't care. It's not that he was not interested in her because they were cut from the same mold, but the last bottom line in his heart prevented him from pursuing her deliberately.
What's more, Shen Wanqing kept whispering in her ears from time to time. She never had a good face towards her second sister who was sent away and learned to be calculating since childhood.
Shen Wanyi had no other opinion about her second sister, with whom she was closely related by blood. After all, in a family that once had difficulty in getting food and clothing, resentment and envy were luxuries. She had no choice but to study hard.
Only then would it be possible to break out of the cage that had trapped her for generations. She did it, although it was not as perfect as she had imagined. She entered a prestigious university in the ivory tower and had a more decent job.
“By the way, the company will be aggressively entering the aviation business. If you are interested, you can sign up. If you really want to learn management, that’s fine. If you don’t want to be that tired, that’s fine too.
Having an airline director title will make it easier for you to attend various charity events in the future.”
Li Zehua felt her passion and chose to increase the stakes without hesitation.
Unfortunately, just when the good situation was about to take a step forward, a big light bulb came uninvited.
Because this is also Shen Wanqing's home, Jiaotong University Affiliated High School does not force every student to stay in school after evening self-study every day, but she chooses to stay in school most of the time.
She would only go home when Li Zehua was in Shanghai, and today was no exception.
"elder brother."
He heard her voice from far away, and when she pushed the door open, she couldn't wait to smile at him.
"The ground is cold and you don't wear your shoes properly."
He frowned and nagged like an older brother, then took the fluffy slippers from the servant and handed them to him, "If you catch a cold, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
With Li Zehua around, Shen Wanqing could completely let herself go. She was no longer intimidated by her elder sister's authority and followed the rules like she did at the beginning. "No way."
As she said this, she made a face at her elder sister, which made Shen Wanyi so angry that she stood up and wanted to beat her.
But she was not afraid at all, because she found that as long as her brother was around, her eldest sister could not do anything to her, and even her elder sister had to obey his arrangements unconditionally.
Li Zehua smiled helplessly and said, "The kitchen has left your favorite dishes for you. I'll have someone heat them up."
Shen Wanqing sat next to him, looking obedient, "No, I've eaten at school."
Then she leaned close to his ear and muttered, "Did you arrange a job for that person? Don't lie to me, she posted the photo on WeChat Moments.
It's really infuriating. You always told me to study hard and have a decent life in the future, but she didn't study hard either. She only graduated from a technical secondary school of a medical school. How can she sit in a bright and spacious office?"
Li Zehua currently has no idea how to educate the next generation. His biggest advantage is that he can quickly absorb what he has experienced.
Next time you do it, you will definitely go further.
But he had never educated his own children in his previous life, and he had no experience in how to raise the next generation after becoming a billionaire. He could only learn from his elders and give slight guidance.
Unfortunately, this trick didn't work at all on Shen Wanqing. Fortunately, Li Zehua immediately changed the subject and said, "Why did you come back so late today? Look at the time."
"Hehe, there was something exciting to see on the road, so I was delayed."
Shen Wanqing really enjoys this special care. Back in her hometown, her family would only think about how to marry her off as soon as possible to supplement the family income. Now it is a little better because of money.
But the love and care she lacked in childhood can never be regained, so she will cherish all those who are good to her. When she talked about the excitement, she was very excited.
"...You didn't see it. It was a very exciting fight. Dozens of cars suddenly appeared and stopped, just like in a blockbuster movie, and then they started fighting with all kinds of weapons."
"Wait a minute, taxis and ride-hailing services?"
Li Zehua didn't take it seriously at first, but as he listened, he felt something was wrong. "Are our people being beaten up? Didn't you help?"
Shen Wanqing blushed and gestured for a while, "Of course I will help. Don't look at Sister Lin's small size, but she knocked down several opponents with just one move."
That look seemed to be saying, look how righteous I am, come and praise me.
Little did she know that Li Zehua was thinking about something else. He calmed Shen Wanqing's emotions like petting a cat, then took out his cell phone and called Zeng Haiyang to ask about what had happened.
"They were completely defeated in public opinion, and faced with accusations, they were desperate."
Zeng Haiyang is very familiar with handling this kind of thing. "I have asked my subordinates to be alert and not to go to remote places in the near future. Don't worry, boss, we have a lot of people.
I also greeted Qin Lang and Xie Bin. Whenever I saw my colleagues in the online car-hailing industry being beaten, I would immediately call on my brothers in the food delivery and courier industry for help.
Except for a few unlucky ones, we have not suffered any losses in the conflicts in various places. After all, there is strength in numbers. "Li Zehua breathed a sigh of relief, "What do the higher-ups say?"
“There is still no movement in the government office.
However, more than half of the local airports explicitly refused to allow online ride-hailing services to provide online fixed-point passenger solicitation services. Even if we added new drivers and passengers and manually filled out the airport operation form, it did not pass the review. "
Speaking of this, Zeng Haiyang expressed his dissatisfaction, "For each airport construction fee, there is an additional commission, and a fixed rebate every month. These people just take the money but do nothing!
They also said that online ride-hailing vehicles should be allowed to operate in the airport area and should enjoy additional treatment from the company. However, as soon as the topic of offline operation was brought up, they turned hostile and the negotiations are now at a stalemate.
They also seized the opportunity to ask the company to further share the profits, otherwise they would ban online car-hailing services at the airport."
"I'm dreaming."
Li Zehua refused without a second thought: "It's the original treatment. You can take it or not. Tell the person in charge that whoever dares to cross the red line, don't blame the company for taking ruthless action.
I don't dare to make enemies with the transportation management department due to personal relationships, but I'm still worried about an airport service group that has no support and no foundation?
Anyone who wants to die can just stand up."
Qingyun does have concerns about the competent authorities, fearing that an entire interest group might come out to oppose it. After all, even if Qingyun uses all his strength to completely change the industry, it will be of no avail.
Because they can change departments and continue to target you. They may not be afraid now, but in the future when they confront Squid Capital head-on, it will be fun if a fire breaks out in the backyard.
But Qingyun was not worried at all about the airport management group causing any trouble. Even regarding the most important cargo airline approval and cargo plane docking, the other party would not dare to play any tricks even if they were holding their breath.
Because there are too many people and departments who can deal with them, no one will refuse Qingyun's face.
"Leave the airport matter to Mr. Wu. He's been very idle recently. Anyway, the promotion of WeChat technology is the result of the joint efforts of multiple departments and companies. It would be better to let him take charge of the public relations maintenance department."
Li Zehua made an arrangement casually, "As for the conflict with the offline operation group, you must control it well and avoid causing any loss of life."
"Boss, it's very difficult to control. They can't spit out what they eat, and the people below pay hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars for operating licenses.
It is impossible to withdraw, and the company will cut off a large portion of the profits, making it difficult to maintain the remaining cars, especially in terms of distribution.
To be an online car-hailing driver, you only need two certificates for 20,000 yuan, and at most pay a deposit of several thousand yuan. Your income will be settled in the backend the next day, and you don’t have to worry about missed orders (the company will advance a small amount on your behalf).
The entire process is recorded and videotaped, which means there are no disputes. Customers spend less money and enjoy better service, and the feedback is very positive. How can taxi groups compete?
There are nearly 6000 private cars in operation in Shanghai, and more than special cars, which take away at least half of their revenue. This contradiction is simply impossible to mediate.”
As he spoke, he seemed to recall something, "By the way, the most common issue facing people below is the issue of online ride-hailing services accepting orders at close range.
Many people have reported that even though there are consumers booking taxis nearby, they are unable to enjoy the nearby pick-up..."
"You mean the principle of proximity?"
Li Zehua sneered, "Do you remember the takeaway incident? They all gathered in the core business district and near the university town, and what happened?
It took a full 17 minutes for a suburban user to place an order and for the rider to receive the order. This is human nature. People will flock to wherever there is profit.
From a personal perspective, this is no problem, as everyone comes out to make money, but what about from a company's perspective?
Doesn't the company want its employees to make more money? If the driver drives one kilometer less to pick up passengers, it will save one kilometer of energy expenditure and loss, and we can naturally take more commission.
But who will serve those users in remote areas? If we cannot be fair, new competitors will come in and replace us in the next second!
Don't follow the people below you. I know you mean well, but kindness often leads to bad results. As an executive, you have all the other abilities except being cold-blooded.
You have to know that what can stand the test of time is definitely breaking the rules, and following the rules will only lead to a dead end.
Besides, the company has not completely banned nearby orders. Can't drivers who perform well and are in the top 15-30% start the free-running mode every month?
The company didn’t charge them any money and didn’t ask them to become members!”
Zeng Haiyang remained silent. He did not dwell on this issue but instead consulted on some other matters.
After the call ended, Li Zehua looked at Shen Wanqing who was clinging to him, then looked at Shen Wanyi's lips, looking a little helpless.
He wanted to rest early, but the latter was too noisy, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous every time. He could only wait until Shen Wanqing fell asleep before he could enjoy himself a little.
Fortunately, it was still early for her to fall asleep, so Li Zehua simply continued chatting with a few people online. As they chatted, they ended up talking about the recently issued Bitcoin Gold coin.
Shen Wanqing came over to look at the picture, her eyes shining.
"He's a money-grubber. He wouldn't even spend a hundred bucks. He can't take his eyes off good things. I don't know who learned this from."
Li Zehua shook his head and said casually, "When the holiday comes, go to the bank and withdraw it yourself. One 50-gram coin. Don't lose it."
He privately opened trust funds for both of them, and also bought a considerable amount of shares in Qingyun Investment Industry Fund. All of these were owned by people close to him.
However, apart from his family, he did not mention anyone else. He just left the money there and let it appreciate in value. Perhaps he had to wait for a suitable opportunity to talk about it. After all, wealth is also one of their desires.
Delaying gratification is also a means. After all, to maintain a good relationship, necessary emotional tug-of-war is indispensable.
After sending Shen Wanqing away, he found Lin Wenhui on WeChat and asked the latter about the offline operations of Minsheng Financial Holdings and the issuance of investment gold bars and bitcoin gold coins.
The latter responded quickly, "Investing in gold bars is more popular. After all, Bitcoin Gold has not only the value of precious metals, but also the monetary attributes of Bitcoin at a premium.
People in China are still not very receptive to virtual currencies, and there is a lot that needs to be cultivated.”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s not prepared for them anyway. If they don’t buy it for more than 800 dollars, there will be people who will take it when it increases a hundred times in the future.
It is mainly those shady funds overseas that need to be contacted quickly and sold out as soon as possible when the gold price is around $2000 per ounce.”
No one would think it is too little if they can earn more. Even during the period of skyrocketing gold prices, Qingyun Group has earned huge wealth that is unimaginable for ordinary people through options, futures and physical gold.
But Li Zehua has so much physical gold in his hands, thousands of tons. If he doesn't sell it in the short term, it will become a burden in his hands. Next, he plans to short sell it heavily.
Lin Wenhui looked at the text sent by his boss and said with a wry smile: "The richer you are, the more calculating you are. Strictly speaking, this batch of gold was picked up at zero cost, and it is now on a downward trend.
I want to ask this question eight hundred times a day, and I want to cash out quickly. The market for this problem must have such a strong capacity to take it on! "
Complaints aside, things still need to be done. "Please rest assured, except for the portion that is used to crash the market, we will do our best to sell the rest of the gold before the end of the year.
In addition to those people we have contacted privately, we are also actively contacting central banks of various countries. Although the quantity of each company is not large and the price they offer is much lower than the market price, it is good to be able to consume some. "
He wanted to take the opportunity to suggest entering the gold jewelry industry, or at the very least strive to become a supplier in this market, but Li Zehua had no interest in this at all.
The main reason is that the latter's channels are mostly controlled by Hong Kong capital, and he doesn't want to make exchanges and please others.
Faced with the several solutions proposed by Lin Wenhui, Li Zehua was finally satisfied. He encouraged him a few words and ended the call.
"It's getting late. You should go to bed early. You have to go to school tomorrow."
"No, I finally come home, can't you let me stay a little longer?"
"Tomorrow I'll take you to school or I'll watch some more TV. It's your choice."
Li Zehua quickly sent the people away, then he took Shen Wanyi upstairs to talk in private. For the first half hour, he didn't dare to go beyond the line.
Because the latter's voice was extremely penetrating, he was well aware of this and did not want to continue to be a social failure, especially when facing Shen Wanqing's strange gaze. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he would not have any intentions towards a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
"Unfortunately, it's still too small." (End of this chapter)
