Chapter 1303: Be cautious
It was the sunset, and there was a large orange-red area in the sky.
This seemed to attract Feng Yiping. He looked over there and didn't speak for a long time.
After hearing Mr. Liu's introduction, Lao Ma was very moved, but looking at him, he felt that it was not easy to agree to him.
Mr. Liu seemed not surprised by this. By sorting out some of Feng Yiping's past requests, he knew that in some aspects, Feng Yiping was a bit "independent".
It can also be said that he is the kind of person who is too lazy to talk nonsense, does not care whether he has companions or not, and he just needs to do whatever he knows.
He continued, "The club we plan to set up will not expand its influence by attracting more members like other chambers of commerce. On the contrary, we will set the standards relatively high," he said.
“First of all, we require the members we intend to join to have a high degree of recognition of our purpose, so we decided that our club will only accept the first generation of entrepreneurs.”
Hearing this, Feng Yiping nodded. Those second generations who rely on inheritance have a good foundation and do not know how to work hard to start the hardships of the mountains and forests. Their understanding of entrepreneurship, social responsibility, or their outlook on life and values, generally speaking, should be very different from the first generation.
Excluding this group means that this club does have some ideas.
"Secondly, they must meet one of the following two conditions,"
"One is the scale of the enterprise, and your annual turnover must reach an indicator,"
"We want to discuss this indicator with everyone. The principle is that it is high or low."
"The second is to judge the position of the company in the industry. Our requirement is that the industry ranking must be in the top three."
Undoubtedly, those who can join this club must be the best among domestic companies.
"We will conduct strict reviews on the joining of new members. The most important thing is that new members must be unanimously agreed by all the directors of the club board to become our partners," said Mr. Wang.
This is undoubtedly a supplement to the first two hard requirements.
To make all directors agree unanimously, that is, everyone recognizes his performance outside of business operations, or in other words, this is everyone's review of his character and reputation.
Obviously, those who are unkind cannot pass this level of wealth.
This is also a good requirement.
Feng Yiping knew that in the future, we would not hate the rich, and we would definitely not worry about the so-called "original sin". But even the old-fashioned rich people will not blindly admire them. They will be in line with the current Western countries' demands for the rich. We will see how much they have contributed to society.
"In addition to us, there are also well-known diplomats and economists, who are also the initiators of our club. In the future, in addition to exchanges between members, we also hope to initiate more international exchanges," said Mr. Feng.
"We hope to organize exchanges with politicians and business communities across the country, and to find more opportunities while avoiding the risks of our overseas development,"
This is what emphasizes the difference in this club.
And this is also something that many people are concerned about.
From the reform and opening up to now, there are indeed many companies that need to expand overseas to maintain their advantages.
"In order to make this platform truly a platform that can do something, we also hope to introduce some other hard and rigid regulations, such as the club's large-scale activities, which are not allowed to take leave, and everyone must participate," Mr. Wang further added.
"This is very important," Lao Ma immediately agreed. "There are too many similar clubs now, too casual, and read the information, and there are thousands of members, but in fact, it is good to have a tenth of those who are really active,"
Mr. Liu and the others understood that Lao Ma had no problem with this.
"I'm honored...," Feng Yiping said the beginning and was interrupted by President Liu. "Mr. Feng, we know your style of doing things, so we can understand it even if you want to consider it again."
"Okay," Feng Yiping did not deny, "I'll consider it again,"
The reason why he was ready to agree was because so many people invited him so sincerely and explained to him that if they were still indifferent, it would be a bit unreasonable.
It’s not necessary to give anyone a face, but since you live in a society, you can be alone in some aspects, but you can’t be alone in some aspects.
"It can be seen that the club that you seniors are going to set up has high requirements and high expectations for this club. For me, whether to participate or not is a very solemn promise, I really need to consider it," he said.
"We hope that all members can be as cautious as Mr. Feng," Mr. Liu said.
…………
"Yiping, why do I feel that you have some doubts about participating in the launch of this club?" Lao Ma's face turned red at this time when he asked this.
They had just finished their meal with the Chinese guests and were on their way back to the hotel.
"This," Feng Yiping thought for a while, "When we first started our business, we all hoped to be on newspapers and TV, but now, we hope that newspapers and TV can disturb us as little as possible,"
"But from the beginning of starting a business, I have been a little distant from some circles. My personal experience is that although some circles can bring some convenience to our work, in the end, the energy involved in those complex interpersonal relationships may make us feel that it is not worth the effort,"
"There is also the most important point. We all know how complicated people's hearts are. Generally speaking, a company with only two shareholders will be easier to succeed than a company with twenty shareholders with similar rights because they are easier to reach consensus,"
"It's the same for such clubs. I think some of the decisions that everyone can accept must be the kind of irrelevant decisions, and some real and content decisions. I guess everyone can't reach an agreement,"
"What you said is indeed right," Lao Ma nodded, "But Yiping, can I give you some advice?"
"For many things, we should try to see its positive side. Let's say that the club Mr. Liu and his team plan to set up is to bring together the most powerful and socially responsible entrepreneurs in China, even if they only agree with some of the most basic concepts, such as promoting the sustainable development of our economy and society, which is also of great significance, isn't it?"
"I probably know that you are worried that this club will become a club for rich people in the future, but even if you don't participate, you will be a rich person long ago."
"If we can gather a large number of rich people together and do something that meets the expectations of the general public, will it also help social harmony?"
"If many things are done, they can be of some benefit to this society. Even if the benefits are not great, I personally think that they can support it,"
Feng Yiping was silent for a while, "Old Ma, do you think this is related to some recent situations?"
Lao Ma understood what he was talking about.
Just last month, the Greencole Group, which was pushed to the forefront by public opinion because of the discussion about original sin that rose last year, was officially detained at the beginning of last month.
An entrepreneur who was once so glorious, would inevitably make some people feel moved when he fell into this situation.
"This is normal," said Lao Ma.
"But put aside this consideration, if you are given a chance, it will allow you to change some commonalities among domestic entrepreneurs, what do you want to do the most?"
"If there is such an opportunity," Feng Yiping thought for a moment, "you know, one aspect that we are proud of is that we have written history, which has been recorded for more than 5,000 years, which was a good thing,"
"But this also leads to some of our wealthy entrepreneurs who always spend a lot of time and energy, hoping to find superiority and confidence in our traditional culture,"
"Their hearts are often in the end, or they start reading activities, and regard previous enlightenment books such as the Three Character Classic as the standard,"
"Either visit some monks or some strange people from the people,"
"I'm not so used to this kind of behavior. In contrast, I appreciate the actions of Western entrepreneurs. They may have chosen to look forward because they don't have much history to explore."
"They will spend a lot of resources to explore areas we don't know, such as the deep sea, like space, or use scientific means to explore the mysteries of life,"
"Their actions will, in turn, drive the development and progress of many industries. Obviously, we will completely copy the culture of our most prosperous period in history to the present, and it will not help improve our competitiveness in this era."
"So, do you think that this club is a platform that allows you to do this?" Lao Ma asked.
