Chapter 2128: Be Cautious when Alone

At this time, it was just as the sun was setting in the west, dyeing a large area of ​​orange-red on the horizon.

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 quite excited at first, but looking at him, he felt hard to agree to it for him.

Mr. Liu didn't seem surprised by this. By sorting out some of Feng Yiping's past situations, 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 and doesn't care whether he has a companion or not. He just does what he sees.

He continued, "The club we plan to establish will not expand its influence by absorbing more members like other chambers of commerce. On the contrary, we will set the standards relatively high,"

"First of all, we require members who intend to join to have a high degree of identification with our purpose, so we have decided that our club will only accept the first generation of entrepreneurs,"

Hearing this, Feng Yiping nodded. The second generation who relied on inheritance had a good foundation and did not know the hard work of the mountains and forests. Their understanding of entrepreneurship and social responsibility, or in other words, their outlook on life And values, generally speaking, should be very different from those of the founding generation.

Excluding this group shows that this club does have some ideas.

"Secondly, they must meet one of the following two conditions,"

"One is the size of the enterprise. Your annual turnover must reach a certain target,"

"We want to discuss this indicator with everyone. The principle is that it should be high rather than low,"

"The second is to judge the company based on its position in the industry. Our requirement is that the industry ranking must be among the top three,"

There is no doubt that those who can join this club must be the best among domestic enterprises.

"We will conduct a strict review on the joining of new members. The most important thing is that new members must be unanimously approved by all members of the club's board of directors before they can become our partners," said Mr. Wang.

This is undoubtedly a supplement to the first two hard requirements.

For all directors to unanimously agree, this means that everyone recognizes his performance outside of business operations, or in other words, this is everyone's review of his personality and reputation.

Obviously, those who are rich and unkind will not be able to pass this test.

This is also a good request.

Feng Yiping knows that in the future, we will not hate the rich, and we will certainly not dwell on the so-called "original sin." However, no matter how old the rich are, people will not blindly worship them, and they will not be in line with the current Western countries' requirements for the rich. Convergence, we will see how much he contributes to society.

"In addition to us, there are also well-known diplomats and economists who are also the founders 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 political figures and business circles from various countries to find more opportunities while avoiding the risks of our overseas development,"

This is what underlines the difference of this club.

And this is something that I believe many people are concerned about.

From the reform and opening up to the present, many companies have indeed needed to expand overseas in order to maintain their advantages.

"In order to make this platform truly a platform that can do something, we also hope to introduce some other rigid rules. For example, some large-scale activities of the club are not allowed to ask for leave, and everyone must participate," Mr. Wang further added.

"This is very important," Lao Ma immediately agreed. "There are too many similar clubs now, which are too casual. According to the information, there are thousands of members, but in fact, it would be good to have only one tenth of those who are truly active. "

Mr. Liu and the others understood that there was nothing wrong with Lao Ma.

"I'm honored...," Feng Yiping started, but was interrupted by Mr. Liu, "Mr. Feng, we know your style of doing things, so we can understand if you just want to think about it again,"

"That's okay," Feng Yiping didn't deny it, "I'll think about it again."

The reason why he was ready to express his agreement was because so many people invited him so sincerely and explained to him. If he was still indifferent, it would be unreasonable.

It’s not that you have to give face to anyone, but since you live in a society, you can be independent in some aspects, but not in some aspects.

"It can be seen that the club that the seniors want to establish has very high requirements and high expectations for this club. For me, whether to participate or not is a very solemn commitment. I really need to consider it. ," he said.

"We hope that all members can be as solemn as Mr. Feng," Mr. Liu said.

…………

"Yiping, why do I feel that you still have some doubts about participating in launching this club?" Lao Ma, who asked this question, was blushing at this time.

They had just finished dinner with the domestic guests and were on their way back to the hotel.

"When we first started our business, we all hoped to be in newspapers and TV. But now, we hope that newspapers and TV will disturb us as little as possible," Feng Yiping said.

"But since the beginning of starting my business, I have been a bit repelled by 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 complicated interpersonal relationships may be It makes us feel that the gain is not worth the loss,"

"The most important thing is that we all know how complicated people's hearts are. Generally speaking, a company with only two shareholders will be more likely to succeed than a company with twenty shareholders with similar rights, because they are more It’s easy to reach consensus,”

"It's the same for a club like this. I think some of the decisions that everyone can accept must be insignificant. Some decisions that really have some content, I guess everyone can't reach a unanimous opinion,"

"What you said is indeed correct," Lao Ma nodded, "But Yiping, can I give you some advice?"

"For many things, we still have to try to see the positive side. Let's say that the club Mr. Liu and his friends are planning to establish is to bring together the most powerful and socially responsible entrepreneurs in the country. Even just agreeing with some of the most basic concepts, such as promoting the sustainable development of our economy and society, is of great significance, isn't it?

"I probably know that you are worried that this club will become a rich man's club in the future, but even if you don't join, you will already be a rich man,"

"If we can bring a large number of wealthy people together and do something that meets the expectations of the public, will it be considered conducive to social harmony?"

"Many things, if done, can bring some benefits to this society, even if the benefits are not big, I personally think that it can be supported,"

Feng Yiping was silent for a while, "Lao Ma, tell me, is this related to some recent situations?"

Lao Ma understood what he was talking about.

Just last month, the leader of the Greencool faction, which was brought to the forefront by public opinion because of the discussion about original sin that arose last year, was officially detained at the beginning of last month.

For a once so prosperous entrepreneur to fall into this situation will inevitably make some people feel sad.

"This is normal," Lao Ma said.

"But putting aside this consideration, if you were given a chance to change some of the common characteristics of domestic entrepreneurs, what would you most like to do?"

"If there is such an opportunity," Feng Yiping thought for a moment, "you know, one of the things we are proud of is that we have a history recorded in writing, which is more than 5,000 years old. This would be a good thing."

"But this has also led to some of our wealthy entrepreneurs always spending a lot of time and energy, hoping to find a sense of superiority and self-confidence from our traditional culture,"

"Their actions often end up falling into clichés, or they initiate Bible reading activities and regard previous enlightenment readings such as the Three Character Classic as a standard."

"Either visiting some eminent monks, or visiting some so-called strange people among the people,"

"I really don't like this kind of behavior. In contrast, I appreciate the actions of entrepreneurs in the West. They may not have much history to explore, so they all choose to look forward."

"They will spend a lot of resources to explore unknown areas, such as the deep sea and space, or use scientific methods to explore the mysteries of life,"

"Measures like theirs, in turn, will drive the development and progress of many industries. Obviously, even if we completely copy the culture of our most prosperous period in history to the present, it will not help improve our Competitiveness in this era,”

"So, do you feel that this club is a platform that allows you to do this?" Lao Ma asked.
