The Qingyuntongda Group is executing the plan at full speed, and hundreds of Fengniao Group employees have gone to various places in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui to strengthen the front-line sites.

ChiMi also sent out hundreds of people to embark on a new journey together with the Hummingbird crowdsourcing team. This was originally an expansion plan for the food delivery business.

With the further compromise of the Tongda Group, many express delivery businesses in urban areas of prefecture-level cities were given up, which greatly accelerated the pace of Qingyun's expansion.

There are good news almost every day, and new places are constantly lit up on the multi-screen map of national business hanging in Qingyun’s headquarters.

Every Qingyun employee can see it when they enter work, and they all feel the same shame and honor.

Throughout the end of July and the beginning of August, Li Zehua traveled around the East China region, signing contracts and appearing at major universities. He was truly putting his promise into practice with practical actions.

He also inspected the construction of sites in various places, went deep into the grassroots to boost morale, and signed contracts with cooperative partners.

All top 985/211 universities that have cooperated with Qingyun on scientific research projects such as QR codes will donate one million yuan to support scholarships for poor students and award scholarships to outstanding students.

For key universities in the province and other colleges and universities with a large number of students, the prize money ranges from 10 to 50 yuan. Wu Yibin will send staff from the Public Relations Maintenance Department to be responsible for signing the contract and sponsoring the title.

As the donations continued, news media, newspapers, periodicals, and Internet media around the world began to notice this unusual series of donations and began to follow up on the reports.

According to subsequent statistics, in July alone, Li Zehua donated a total of 57 million yuan to 3400 universities and colleges across the country in the name of his company and himself.

In August, the number rose to 110, with a total donation of 7500 million yuan.

Finally, the figure was fixed at 1.18 million yuan, covering more than 200 million college students in about universities across the country.

The money did not belong to Li Zehua alone. When he finally withdrew from the stock market, his total capital of 8170 million was donated without a penny left.

The rest was donated by friendly partners either personally or as a company. You gave 20, I gave 50, and we raised it bit by bit.

This was a good deed. After all, Li Zehua had many friends. The network of personal connections he had built since his rebirth played a huge role for the first time.

This was not the later era when donations became popular. At that time, Chinese people had not yet formed an inherent concept of tax avoidance through donations to charity.

Especially when Li Zehua promised more than once in public that this was a long-term donation and that the amount would not be lower than this every year.

This immediately attracted cheers from the onlookers.

That’s not all. The Youth League, the education department, the charity department, and major universities also made a big splash in this series of donations.

All kinds of honors were stuffed upon Li Zehua and Qingyun’s subsidiaries as if they were free, and they were unable to refuse them even after receiving so many.

No one will do business at a loss!
There are countless invisible benefits, such as a package of cooperative scientific research projects signed between universities and Qingyun Group.

From the subsequent improvement of QR codes, scientific research on smartphone components, cooperative software development, core algorithm upgrades, new energy vehicle research and development and other technical cooperation.

Recommend outstanding graduates from within the school, jointly create a social practice base for graduating students, allow Meituan Fengniao and even Pinxixi's promotion department to enter the campus and operate legally and in accordance with regulations.

We have also reached extensive and in-depth cooperation through preferential leasing of campus storefronts, cooperation on college student entrepreneurial projects, and part-time jobs on campus for poor students.

In order to steadily advance Qingyun's various businesses, Li Zehua resisted the pressure from Shanghai and insisted on breaking through the regional restrictions.

The excuses for explanation are also ready-made. The core business circle of food delivery and express delivery can never be separated from the support of universities across the country.

Qingyun's performance is improving. In terms of taxation, employment and other aspects, Shanghai is the undisputed biggest winner.

In the end, it was only after the higher-ups spoke that the local charity and education systems in Shanghai made compromises.

"It's really hard to do something, but fortunately the final result did not disappoint."

At the company's internal high-level meeting, Li Zehua said, "With Qingyun Simple Love's scholarship program for poor college students.

The scholarship programs of Qingyun Eat, Qingyun Hummingbird and Qingyun Pinxixi are progressing smoothly, and we have won the initial favor of schools and students.

Next, we need to continue to maintain and strengthen this mutually beneficial foundation until one day our interests are completely tied to those of the school.

For this reason, each branch can, to a certain extent, choose to contact the school's venture capital fund. The head office cannot afford to invest, but the branch can still do so."

As a boss, what he has to do is to establish systems, use people rationally, and constantly adjust the company's development direction.

It is a bit tiring, but the rewards are huge. This wave of charitable donations of more than 1 million has earned back the investment just from the publicity and exposure value of media reports, and subsequent rewards will continue to flow in.

Not to mention that he himself made a lot of money from it. There was no other reason, and none of the naming rights were named after him.

There is no free lunch in the world. The company does not belong to him alone, so how could he possibly pay for everything?

The specific allocation of expenditure shares is still under discussion, and shareholders need to have a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the subsequent benefits.

The results of the current discussions are that at least half of the donated funds will be used by the company based on invisible and actual business benefits such as publicity and promotion, image endorsement, and brand value-added.

It will be paid to him personally in the name of salary, bonus, etc. As long as the company's business develops as expected, this part will be worth much more than half of 8170 million.

Not only that, according to the principle of donation tax deduction, Temasek paid taxes on the millions of dollars in additional rewards it received this year due to profits and taxes from overseas capital markets.

Personal tax deductions for company wages, bonus taxes, company financing, equity transfer income, etc.

With the help of his legal team, Li Zehua was able to offset far more of his expenses with this donation.

The 3.5+1 million bank loan interest, which is mortgaged with his personal assets, can also be used for this deduction (the company's half of it can also be offset), and he will apply for a tax refund from the tax department later.

This is the reality. While donating to gain fame and income, you can actually make money without spending a penny. It seems that 8170 million RMB has been spent.

In less than half a year, he could not only get back his principal but also earn an extra 100 or 20 million after tax offset as a reward in the name of the company.

If he were even more shameless, he could even privately designate donation beneficiaries, engage in a gray industrial chain, and use tax funds that do not belong to him to maintain his own network of relationships.

As the saying goes, those without conscience earn more.

Fortunately, he still has his own bottom line...

While Qingyun is taking action, its competitors are also not idle.

Gao Wei has always been eyeing the takeout food delivery industry that belongs to same-city delivery. However, due to the fact that Qingyun is the only one dominating the market in Shanghai, he did not rush into it.

But in other areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, DDS and other express delivery companies specializing in city delivery have conducted attempts to varying degrees. If it can increase extra profits, why not do it?

This movement was naturally noticed by Taotao. Taodiandian takeout is currently still in the stage of investigating the market and seeking partners.

Although the food delivery website has been launched, its business coverage is not large, with only a few contracted companies operating in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.

For example, YeZi Food Delivery has actually become a controlled company of Taodiandian and is currently undergoing training and upgrading of its organizational structure and management team.

Taodiandian is in urgent need of finding more capable cooperative franchisees, and DDS came into their sight under such circumstances.

At first, it was just Taodiandian who was in talks, but soon the situation changed dramatically.

Influenced by Qingyun's food delivery and express delivery business, Ali set up a local life business department on Taodiandian and Cainiao Network.

Liao Fan, the company's vice president, also serves as general manager.

Big companies are big companies, and they respond very quickly to market changes. During a routine meeting of the Local Life Division, Liao Fan keenly realized the huge value of DDS.

If this thing is slightly changed, isn't it just a reduced-configuration version of Eat + Hummingbird Express?

For example, by merging its Shanghai branch with YeZi Food Delivery, Ali instantly had a business team of seven to eight hundred people in Shanghai.

It doesn’t matter that there is no cooperation with an express delivery company for the time being. The same-city delivery business alone can make up for the losses from takeout.

With the subsequent support of EMI Express, it is simply perfect!
Ali has money and DDS has people, and the two parties hit it off immediately in terms of same-city delivery, takeout, express collection and delivery, etc.

First there was a meeting at the manager level, and after more than ten days of contact and proper resolution of various details and problems, the time was ripe.

Liao Fan personally invited Gao Wei to Qiantang for a meeting.

How could Gao Wei refuse? The two of them were in love with each other and quickly got together after a little flirtation.

The negotiations went very smoothly, especially when it came to dealing with Qingyun, as the principles were highly consistent.

Liao Fan even applied to the company to send a team to conduct a comprehensive assessment of DDS and prepare to discuss the specific details of the investment with him.

At this point, everyone should be happy.

The two sides joined hands to fight against Qingyun. Even if they could not defeat the latter, they could at least become evenly matched opponents.

But Gao Wei couldn't sit still any longer. He knew what was under his butt best! Especially when he saw the almost insulting amount of shares and the proportion of shares invested by Ali, he was furious and didn't even attend the follow-up meeting.

The excuse was that internal discussions within the company were needed, and Ali was confused. What was going on?
We were talking so nicely, why did he suddenly run away?

They were puzzled, and Gao Wei was even more depressed.

I hate Ahri so much. This bastard wants to take away 3000% of DDS's shares for million.

So the 30 million yuan invested in the market was wasted?

He himself even forgot that the external publicity was very exaggerated, and a considerable part of it was prepayment from the market!
The two sides argued back and forth over the share ratio, and Ali expressed his attitude very directly. According to the information they collected, DDS had almost no fixed assets.

Pengcheng’s headquarters is rented, and the franchise outlets in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui are in cooperation with others. The company has almost no vehicles or warehousing and logistics centers.

The most valuable part is the residual value of the contract signed with corporate customers. When the accounts are calculated, it is still a loss and no money is made at all.

As for the more than 2,500 direct and franchised employees, not much investment was made, and even the employees have to provide their own transportation.

The funds on DDS's books are not even enough to pay next month's accounts payable. Short-term debt is more than 150% of the company's cash flow, not to mention medium- and long-term debt.

In short, apart from the people, it looks like a shell company.

Gao Wei was very annoyed and wanted to terminate the negotiations. Anyway, without Ali, his expansion model supported by advance payment of goods could also work.

At worst, I can just endure for a while, wait until the revenue scale increases, and then look for other investors.

One was trying hard to lower the price, and the other had bigger ambitions, so naturally they couldn't come to an agreement in a short time.

But time waits for no one, the situation is changing, and the opportunity for change soon came, but for Gao Wei, it was not so wonderful.

That day, when he was presiding over a routine meeting at the Shanghai headquarters, he suddenly noticed something wrong with the recent performance report.

Pointing at the declining data, he was furious and said, "Can someone explain to me what's going on?

Did you all sleepwalk last week?!"

According to the data, the business volume of Shanghai's same-city delivery service has plummeted in recent times.

After his repeated questioning, the person in charge of the Magic City market hesitantly told him the whole story.

Qingyun and Tongda Group have launched a one-and-a-half-month-long promotion for new customers across the city.

Relying on the numerical advantage of thousands of people, we can quickly seize the market share of all competitors.

"Fuck, I didn't look for you, but you came to trouble me?"

Gao Wei was very angry. DDS only had four or five hundred people in Shanghai.

However, relying on the low-price strategy, the company has achieved millions in sales and hundreds of thousands in profits every month, which is one of the company's most important sources of cash.

That’s right, there is also a 25-day payment period for paying employees’ salaries, and all this money was misappropriated by him to subsidize the expansion of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui markets.

He has stretched his funds to the limit, and there is not even enough money to cover ten pots.

While he was angry, he was also puzzled, “That’s not right!

Their prices are twice as good, also starting at four yuan, and beyond three kilometers, the per-kilometer charge is about the same as ours.

Even if there are a lot of Hummingbirds, it's impossible for them to snatch all our old customers away so quickly, right?

This activity has only been launched for ten days. Even if they are gods, it shouldn’t be so fast!

What about the documents, invoices and other small packages of so many corporate users who have signed contracts for cooperation? Have they all grown legs and flown away on their own? "

The person in charge hesitated and couldn't say anything for a long time.

Should I tell him that because DDS sets the price too low and the gap between it and the mainstream unit price on the market is too large, the salesmen are taking kickbacks?
The customer was quoted 6 or 5 yuan, which was more than 7 yuan per kilometer above the starting price.

Pay 4 yuan or 4 yuan to the company, and then 5-6 cents per kilometer. The difference in price makes everyone from salesmen to management pay a lot of money.

Gao Wei is not stupid. He knew there was a problem just by looking at the expression. He recalled the rumor circulating in the market that the front-line employees of DDS had a salary of over ten thousand yuan.

I used to be quite proud of it, thinking that if the employees earned more, it meant that the company was doing well.

In fact, it is not that much at all. The best salesperson only has a monthly salary of around 4,000 yuan, and reports 5,000 yuan to the outside world, but the average salary is a little over 3,000 yuan.

This does not include the part that employees embezzled. There was too much oil and water, and the management could not keep up and some even took advantage of it. This is also the reason why more than 400 employees left Qingyun in two months.

"I don't care what method you use, but you have three days at most. If you can't save the performance within three days, you will resign and leave!"

As performance declined and the capital chain suddenly became tight, the first thing he thought of was to call Ali Liao Fan, but he quickly gave up.

“30 million for half of my shares, and I’ll work for you from now on.

No, we have to think of other ways. Ahri is just our last trump card. We must not give up easily unless it is absolutely necessary."

What other recourse does he have? He can only reach out to the companies that have agreed to collect payment on his behalf. He has been embezzling funds for a long time and is very familiar with this business.

Gao Wei didn't know at this time that Li Zehua was sending people to collect evidence of all of them embezzling client funds.

I plan to wait until the dust settles and then send them in one by one.

In the more than a week since returning to the company, Li Zehua, in addition to making donations and signing contracts on legal campuses, also made a trip to Suzhou to inspect the battery factory business.

I didn’t go anywhere else, and even my plan to go back to my hometown was interrupted.

Even when Yan Jianmin urged him to buy a house and the landlord was willing to lower the price, he didn't bother to talk about it anymore and only sent someone from Qingyun Real Estate to follow up.

I'm just angry. You say these companies want to poach people, let them do it. Everyone competes based on their own abilities. I just accept that my salary and benefits won't be as much as others who earn through illegal means.

But the former employee was too careless in his conduct. What did you mean by riding away the BYD electric vehicles owned by Qingyun?
“Fire the employee services manager, who is a subordinate of the HR department, and replace him with someone more reliable.

Don't explain. I'm not blaming you. This precedent cannot be set. Am I spending money to support a piece of trash?"

Facing his top general Gu Shijie, Li Zehua naturally would not lose his temper easily, but someone must take responsibility for this.

"260 electric vehicles, worth more than 50 yuan, even if they have half a month's salary on them, is it enough to compensate for the loss?
Wow, there weren’t any orders in the half month before I left. I’m afraid these people had already considered running away collectively, and they must have been working part-time in other companies during that half month!
It’s not such a big deal. What on earth are the employee service department, the financial performance commission verification department, the administrative department data statistics department, and the grassroots sites doing?
Go find out, how many people are ready to do this? !

As a front-line service provider, we only completed 100 orders in half a month. Are these managers fucked up? Can't they see the abnormal situation?
You should quickly come up with a policy and follow up immediately if you find any abnormal orders in the future and report them for immediate processing.

For example, this time, I will fire those who deserve it without mercy. Those who don’t work hard and make progress are not qualified to be my brother, Li Zehua!”

This was the first time he got so angry.

Gu Shijie gritted his teeth and took out the latest investigation data. "It's all the responsibility of our Human Resources Department's Shanghai Branch. Those who ran away with their cars were all recruited from the local talent market..."

Different from the recruitment team sent out, the people recruited here are either relatives or have been reinstated. Everyone knows each other well and will not leave easily.

Even if you want to leave, you will not take the company's property with you, because it is very easy to track down. If you run away, your relatives and fellow villagers are still in the company, and they can find your home with just one phone call.

It is even more embarrassing to recover, because the local armed forces will come to claim compensation, which is so embarrassing!
But recruitment in the talent market is different. Some people’s ID cards are fake, and they may not have been back to their hometown address for many years, so they are not afraid of being checked at all.

"This prepayment model for electric vehicles must be changed. The policy of paying 400 yuan a month for six consecutive months has loopholes. The company is not doing charity."

Li Zehua was so angry that his teeth were itching. The legal team had previously given two suggestions. One was that the property rights would belong to the company until the debt was fully paid.

For practical reasons, the company chose the second option, whereby the ownership rights belonged to individual employees and they signed an installment payment contract that was equivalent to interest-free.

It seemed right at the time, but the management team was not capable enough and the company's main business consumed too much energy. The subsequent transfer and registration increased the workload.

Now, our competitors also understand the law. Buying an electric car is so expensive!

The same model on the market costs at least more than 400 yuan. You can use the profit from the subsequent operations to pay yuan to Qingyun every month. It is not illegal.

Even if you don't pay, the cost of pursuing the matter is very high.

"You're taking advantage of the company, so don't blame me for killing you!"

Li Zehua picked up the phone and made a call. Following his order, the entire Qingyun Tongda Group quickly took action in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui! (End of this chapter)
