Chapter 249 contribute to the society

“Boss, when are we going on holiday this year?” After Cao Shuai and the others left, Su Qing asked while packing up the teacups they used.

“What? Want to take a vacation?”

“Mostly I miss my family.”

“Aren’t you a native of Shanghai? I think they can go back anytime!”

“I am a native of Shanghai, but my parents are not in Shanghai now. My mother is from AH. When I went to the countryside, my father went to my mother’s side, and then the two returned to Shanghai together.

However, my father has lived there for so many years, and has long had feelings for it. My eldest brother and second brother were also born there, and they like it very much.

Only I was born in Shanghai, grew up in Shanghai, they stay in AH for a long time every year, and then come back after the Chinese New Year. ”

“So it is! This year is New Year’s Eve on February 9th, so let’s have a holiday on February 7th!”

Su Qing nodded and said nothing.

Originally, Luo Fan thought that it was going to be New Year’s Eve, so there should be nothing to do.

Who knew that the next day, Wang Hui ran to his office.

“Boss, something happened!”

Luo Fan was a little helpless when he heard this. It was almost New Year’s Eve and he didn’t stop. He motioned Wang Hui to sit down and asked Su Qing to pour Wang Hui a cup of tea, and then asked Wang Hui to talk.

“Boss, we have an employee in our department who has a 2-year-old daughter.

Some time ago, he discovered that his daughter had leukemia, but his family was unable to treat it because of the targeted drug Gleevec that kept her alive.

This medicine costs 40,000 yuan a month. He really has no choice, so he begged me, hoping that I can organize a donation in the company. ”

After listening to Wang Hui’s words, Luo Fan couldn’t help but think of the movie “I’m not the God of Medicine” in his previous life.

It was this movie that made Luo Fan know about anti-cancer targeted drugs.

The situation described by Wang Hui is very similar to the problem in the movie. According to the description in the movie, the price of this drug has always been very expensive, and ordinary families simply cannot afford it.

Even Xingyuan’s ordinary employees have been hollowed out.

However, the high price of drugs is related to various reasons, such as research and development costs, patent cycles, profits of pharmaceutical companies, and domestic wages…

In short, it is due to the combined action of many factors that it is impossible for most families in China to take this medicine.

In fact, no one is right here. Ordinary people want to survive, and pharmaceutical companies also have to survive.

“Little Su.”

“I’m here, boss.”

“You and Mr. Wang will go to the logistics department in a while, and tell Mr. Qin about this and ask her to help with a donation… Wait! Xiao Su, let’s go ahead and call all Xingyuan members immediately. High-level meeting.”

Su Qing nodded immediately and turned around to do it.

In the conference room of Xingyuan for half an hour, all the high-level executives of Xingyuan gathered together.

Near the end of the year, although Xingyuan’s various departments have no major issues, there are a lot of small things. Luo Fan suddenly called them together at this time, which made the senior management a little confused.

“I called everyone here! There is something I want to say, but before I talk about it, I want to ask everyone a question, what kind of company do you think Xingyuan will be in the future?”

The executives of Xingyuan looked at each other, and finally Cao Shuai stood up first and said, “Boss, I think if our business develops smoothly, Xingyuan may become the fourth after BAT in a few years. Internet giants.”

Other high-level officials have expressed their approval.

At present, in Xingyuan’s business, games are the most profitable, and they are also quite influential abroad.

Next is Daily Toutiao. Daily Toutiao is the most stable and the source of the company’s core big data. It can be said to be a leading enterprise in the news field.

In the field of news, even Penguin News is no match for its QQ traffic, let alone others.

Although Neihan Duanzi has not been established for a long time, its monetization ability is not bad.

With these three departments, there is basically no problem with Xingyuan’s funds.

Although Xingyuan Payment currently does not have any advantages and there are many opponents, Xingyuan has reached a cooperation with Baidu, and Xingchao supports it, and it should be able to occupy some markets in the future.

The Xingyuan application platform has also begun to transform, and if there is no accident, the transformation should be completed within next year.

Xiaopo Station and Xingyuan Studios are also developing according to the predetermined plan.

The only uncertain factor is Xingchao. The skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the penguin is a proper giant in the social field. Even if Xingchao has a slight advantage now, it cannot guarantee that the situation will be completely stabilized.

But overall, Xingyuan is definitely thriving.

“Yes! In a sense, Xingyuan is already very powerful now, and the future is even more limitless. Now our company’s wealth can’t be spent in ten lifetimes, so what’s the point of what we’re doing now?”

Everyone stopped talking when they heard the words. They didn’t understand the purpose of Luo Fan’s words.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Luo Fan stood up and said: “Our company has grown to the present, and in a sense, it is standing at the crossroads of destiny.

Similar situations have been experienced by Penguin, Ali, and Baidu, but their choices are different.

More than ten years ago, the original intention of Mr. Ma from Penguin was to communicate with users all over the country. At that time, Penguin got to where he is today because of his passion, but now it has become like this.

The same is true of Mr. Ma of Ali. Back then, he founded Ali with the goal of making it easier to do business in the world, but now Taobao is desperately squeezing small businesses.

Not only that, Ali personally went to Tmall and led Taobao’s traffic to its own platform. This is the rhythm of killing ordinary merchants.

I don’t need to say more about Baidu. When you click on the browser, there are all advertisements, and there is no bottom line.

I wonder, will the future of our company become the same? ”

Hearing that the senior management of Xingyuan suddenly realized that Luo Fan was worried about the future of the company.

At this time, the others turned to look at Cao Shuai and Li Jingyi in tacit understanding.

One of these two is the boss’s cousin and the other is the boss’s girlfriend. Only they are suitable for talking at this time.

Li Jingyi didn’t know what to say, so she could only pretend that she didn’t see it.

So Cao Shuai got up and said, “Boss, what we are doing is still very good, and we will always remember what you said before about not earning unconscionable money.”

“I know this, but I don’t think it’s enough to say that. We are just sticking to the bottom line and not doing anything good for this society. I think we should take the initiative to do something for this society.”

“What do you take the initiative to do for the society? How to do it specifically?” Li Jingyi asked.

“As an Internet giant, we are a type of capital, and the genes of capital carry exploitation and oppression.

Coupled with the special attributes of the Internet, as we continue to develop, we will inevitably form a monopoly, and after a monopoly, we must have the ability to exploit and oppress others.

Of course, if our business philosophy is always with goodwill, then exploitation and oppression can be avoided to a certain extent, but in fact this is a temporary solution.

Because capital itself is profit-seeking, it is impossible to allow a monopoly not to seek the highest profit.

So we must do something not so good in order to keep our position.

Because if we don’t do it, others do it, and others have more funds and stronger strength, then they will challenge us in turn, and then we may lose. ”

“Boss, are you thinking too much?” Gao Meng said expressionlessly.

“Yes! The boss’s business is a process of expelling good money with bad money. Unless the law intervenes, or there will never be a solution, the dragon slayer will become a dragon, no matter what his original intentions are.” Wang Jing followed.

Without legal interference, the non-black giant will not be able to compete with the black one, and the market will eventually choose the latter.

Taking a step back, now that all the Internet giants are bankrupt and closed down, the market is re-competitive, but the monopoly giants behind will also become the same.

This problem is unsolvable, it is the inevitability of capital.

“You are right, everything is actually an inevitable event, I am not a saint, it is impossible for me to give up my career, and even if there is no Xingyuan, there will be other companies.

But I say these words in the hope that we can do more things that are beneficial to society and ordinary people within the scope of our ability. ”

“Boss, what you said is as if we have become evil capitalists for a while.

We, Xingyuan, don’t offer bad benefits to our employees. We donate money every year, and we try our best to accept companies that don’t have any negative news. ”

“I’m not talking about the internal problems of our company, but the external ones. I know that our company is still very good now, and I want to help some people as much as we can.

For example, we can do an Internet-based charitable fund. ”

“Charity funds? What is the main purpose of the boss’s funds?” Cao Shuai asked.

“The purpose is to help some sick families. Wang Hui, please tell everyone about the employees of your department!”

Wang Hui nodded, got up and told everyone what happened.

Everyone’s expressions were different after hearing this.

“Boss, is this what you want to do with charity funds?” Li Jingyi asked.

“Yes, but the charitable money I’m going to do is different from charitable money in general.

What we at Xingyuan is best at is big data. We have a large amount of user data in our hands. Based on these data, we raise funds and let users help users. We are responsible for providing technical support. You can understand that data is used for charity.

Of course, we are not simply providing data support. I plan to inject 10% of the company’s annual revenue into this fund. Every user who raises funds can apply for subsidies from the company. As long as the review is approved, the company will provide 10% of the raised amount for a period of time. %. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay, and all the executives from Xingyuan were present. Even if they didn’t understand technology at the beginning, they had a very clear understanding of big data after reading and reading for many years.

What Luo Fan said just now, although they were just an idea, but once the idea was put forward, they had a general idea in their hearts.

Seeing that everyone was lost in thought, Luo Fan continued: “Actually, what matters in doing charity is not how much money you have, but how much ability you have.

Take the Bill Gates Foundation in the United States, which is known as the largest charitable fund in the world, but you all know what happened to the charitable fund in the United States.

Many of the charitable projects of their foundations are used to transfer funds, and they are more interested in building basic infrastructure projects. It cannot be said that it is useless to the society, but the efficiency is too low.

And what I want to do is to save lives directly. As for other projects such as education, environment, and infrastructure, I will not involve them. In my opinion, these things together are not as important as a human life. ”

The project that Luo Fan mentioned is actually a water drop chip from a previous life.

The most basic and most important role of water drop chips is to save lives.

At the beginning, Shuidichou did well, but later, the commercial purpose of Shuidichou was too strong, and it failed more and more.

So in this life, Luo Fan chose to do this project in person.

Zhou Yuqing supports Luo Fan’s idea.

Because Zhou Yuqing has been to the United States to study, she is very clear about the operation mode of charitable funds.

To put it simply, the foundation announced that the donation would be donated to a school, and then the internal quotation was quoted. The price quoted was very high, and it could make a lot of money.

Then let the company controlled by the foundation contract the project, so that the funds will change hands smoothly.

And they are still doing charitable projects, and there are tax incentives.

Few of these charitable foundations will directly participate in donating funds to the dying life of a serious illness or accident, because the charity process is too simple, unprofitable, and at the same time it will not generate any fame.

“But boss, is it a bit too much for us to invest 10% of our annual income?” Cao Shuai asked.

“I’m doing what I can, not 10%.”

Seeing that Luo Fan’s attitude was so firm, everyone did not persuade him.

“Since everyone has no opinion, then this matter is decided like this, President Qin.”

“I am here.”

“This project will be handed over to you, Wang Jing, you are responsible for coordinating it.”

“Good boss.” Wang Jing’s head should be.

“There’s one more thing. It’s been a few years since this project was made. That little girl can’t wait so long.”

“Boss, I will organize the company to donate money, and then raise a donation first.” Zhou Yuqing said.

There are very few hard-hearted people in this world who encounter a two-year-old girl suffering from leukemia, not to mention that Zhou Yuqing is the child’s mother herself, and her daughter is only in the first grade this year.

In the afternoon of the same day, Xingyuan issued an announcement inside the company, telling everyone about the employee’s daughter.

Of course, in order not to put any burden on the employee, all his information is kept confidential, except that his daughter’s diagnosis is posted.

With the company’s endorsement, everyone naturally believed it and made donations one after another.

In just one day, more than 100,000 yuan was raised.
