“The main expenditures of overseas branches are concentrated in two areas: one is operation and promotion, and the other is personnel expenses, especially the latter, which is implemented according to the final decision made by the company’s decision-making committee.

Guarantee that the average labor remuneration of employees working in the Qingyun system is 70 times or more of the median income of the local industry. In the past year, the total expenditure exceeded billion..."

Zhou Shouyuan continued to give his work report. After reading out the exaggerated figures, he said bluntly in front of Wei Kejian: "Chairman, actually including investors.

Many people have different opinions on the company's salary and benefits, especially the income of front-line employees. Excessive wage expenditure will indirectly weaken the overall competitiveness of the company's business in the industry.

Now the revenue growth is huge, and we are still in the wild era of market development, which is profitable, but we must also consider the future in advance, once the industry encounters development bottlenecks or regresses.

How to do?
The Lijiapo branch alone has more than 900 employees, and the annual expenditure, not counting the additional fixed asset investment, exceeds million US dollars. Excessive human cost expenditure will drag down..."

"You answer a few questions for me first."

Li Zehua interrupted and got to the heart of the matter, "The Group is completely different from the companies outside. Their practices cannot be said to have no reference value at all, but they are meaningless.

Except for traditional agriculture, the group's main businesses are almost all based on emerging industries. I personally divide them into three categories.

Food delivery, express delivery and online ride-hailing are considered labor-intensive online businesses with high wages, high thresholds and a high degree of monopoly, which fundamentally kills the possibility of competitors entering the market.

Smartphones, semiconductors, power batteries, and so on are considered high-tech hardware. There is nothing much to say about this. Just spend money, spend money, and keep spending money. Only with persistent investment can you reap rewards.

Whether it takes ten or twenty years, I can afford to wait. However, R&D requires a large number of high-quality talents. Without high welfare benefits, who would be willing to come? And how can we ensure that talents will stay even if they come?
The rest include WeChat Technology, Weifuzhi, including the already launched Douyin Interactive Entertainment, Panda Interactive Entertainment (founded by Wang Sicong), Qingyun Software Application Service Company, Qingyun AutoNavi Map, etc.

Collectively referred to as high-tech software companies, this type of company has one great advantage: once they gain a foothold and form scale advantages, they are difficult to replace, and their profits are extremely high.

At this point, he paused and took a sip of pure tropical fruit juice, which was sweet and refreshing. "Looking back now, online Internet business is labor-intensive.

Whether at home or abroad, we rely on high salaries to set up firewalls on the front line. No matter how our competitors poach our talents, it is difficult for them to compete with us in an organized manner.

Because they need to be responsible to investors and sources of funds, which I will talk about later.

In the short and medium term, high-tech hardware is destined to lose money and may even be subject to attacks and restrictions from different levels. However, everyone should understand that only technological leadership can bring success.

That’s the real advantage!
Without technology, we will be at the mercy of others, so the future of the group lies in hardware technology. No matter how much money it costs or how much risk it takes, we must persist in investing until we fully master our own technology.

As for software, just look at Tenda and Baidu and you will know that after they have completed the monopoly of market share, they can make money without doing anything. It is difficult for latecomers to succeed in the market. Baidu alone has signed advertising and promotion contracts worth 40 billion this year.

You have also seen the effect of micropayment and microwallets. Less than 400 million active users have contributed more than billion US dollars (mostly contributed by users of the banking system), and the number of users will reach billions in the future.

It is simply a financial nuclear weapon. Whoever owns it is equivalent to controlling a printing factory and has a steady supply of sufficient funds to use. Profits?
With a printing factory, who cares about profits?

It may still be subject to regulation in China, but in Southeast Asia, in addition to the developed financial systems in Europe and the United States, and in the vast third world countries, micropayments are bound to cooperative banks.

It is a legal and compliant business. The funds in the micro wallet can be financial products or bank deposits. In short, as long as we have sufficient credit endorsement.

How to spend the money and on whom to spend it is just a matter of a word from us, right?

My requirements for labor-intensive businesses are very simple, they just need to be able to bear their own profits and losses. If the hardware loses money, the software and financial businesses will make up for it..."

From the beginning to the end, he had a clear grand strategy in his mind. Stopping Zhou Shouyuan from speaking, he continued, "I know what you are thinking. Investors are not satisfied with the rate of return.

But you have to recognize a core issue, that is, the relative positioning of Qingyun and its investors is completely different from other companies in the market.

Or to put it simply, the reason why most companies on the market can grow and become listed or even dominate the industry is inseparable from the support of capital, but Qingyun is different.

People often say that once one's assets exceed 100 million, one can no longer take control, because he is only temporarily managing wealth on behalf of society and has only temporary control.

This is both true and false.

Because the success of most people is inseparable from capital and the support of investors with resources, whether they are billionaires, the richest people, or the big names on the stage.

There must be a basic base behind him providing support. His every word and action on stage cannot escape the influence of this circle, because it is everyone's collective efforts that helped him get to the top.

The source of his power, wealth, and status all comes from this. It's like you support me, but if I can't bring greater benefits, who will recognize me?
Without your support, I will be unable to move forward. Maybe tomorrow I will be killed instantly by the peanuts shot from the dark corner!

This is not alarmist talk, but the cruel truth of real society.

Unfortunately, there is some deviation in your self-positioning. That is, in this system, you are managers and controllers of resources, rather than investors who form alliances through investments.

Our interests are bound together indestructibly. If you lose the Qingyun platform, most of you will also lose the possibility to showcase and realize your self-worth.

Even if you have the support of your entire family, it is difficult to get more resources and support from platforms other than Qingyun..."

Zhou Shouyuan listened carefully and glanced at Wei Kejian inconspicuously. He raised the salaries of employees to express dissatisfaction on behalf of investors, but more importantly, he wanted to take the opportunity to expand the control of the global headquarters.

Many of Qingyun System's businesses cannot be developed in Europe and the United States due to various restrictions, leaving little opportunity for him to display his talents.

One is a service group that integrates food delivery, express delivery and online car-hailing, one is a cryptocurrency trading center that is still in the layout stage, and the rest is the half-dead WeChat Technology (whose business is entirely in Europe and the United States).

Asking him to lay the foundation is simply a waste of his talents. Most of his extensive network of contacts, expertise in capital operations and ability to handle interpersonal relationships are left idle.

The Southeast Asian branch is making progress in many fields, including WeChat Technology, Qingyun Electronics, micropayment, food delivery, online ride-hailing, and even e-commerce, telecommunications, finance, insurance, logistics and transportation.

Everyone knows that within the group, the Southeast Asian market will grow into the second largest market after the domestic market in the future. He used the excuse that the business of the Lijiaopo branch was developing slowly.

There was a veiled accusation that Wei Kejian did not come up with a practical solution after taking office, and that he was also pulling the wool over the eyes of investors' dissatisfaction, with the sword pointed directly at the control of the Southeast Asian branch.

It would be best if he could be brought under the leadership of the global headquarters. If that is not possible, he can also serve as president of the Southeast Asia business group.

"It seems that the Zhou family and many Southeast Asian groups have tried to win him over. That's right, after all, he is a local tyrant. If he takes charge, everyone can share more benefits from the system.

As for Wei Kejian, he has followed Liu Zijie all the way to where he is today. It cannot be said that the two have exactly the same personality, but they are not far apart. To put it nicely, he is serious and responsible, but to put it bluntly, he does not know how to adapt.

But I put him here because I saw that he was inhumane."

Li Zehua pondered in his heart, and at the same time signaled Wei Kejian with his eyes, and the latter said: "The chairman is absolutely right, since there is a pearl and jade before.

I just want to report on the recent work achievements of Qingyun Investment, and it will also help Mr. Zhou to have a clearer understanding of the development status of the Southeast Asia business group. "

Zhou Shouyuan acted as if he was listening attentively.

Wei Kejian carefully organized his thoughts and said, "Originally, I only had a vague framework in my mind. After listening to the chairman's deafening speech just now, I realized that the pattern is still not enough.

The industrial fund under Qingyun Investment is a stroke of genius. It not only ensures that the management rights of the company will not fall into the hands of others, but also indirectly ties more social resources to the company.

Mr. Zhou may not know the details in the United States, but the Micropayment Industry Fund alone has received invitation applications from more than 2600 financial institutions and investment funds.

The original plan was to complete a financing plan of about US$40 billion between March and May this year (indirect holding of shares through industrial funds, with only dividend rights but no voting rights). At first I thought this was an extremely difficult task, and it was quite strange to receive so many applications all of a sudden, as if things were completely different from what we imagined.

It was not until now, after listening to the chairman's speech, that I understood that when strong companies control core resources, their cooperation position with capital changes quietly.

It is capital. Investors need the group to help them get rich, not that the group needs to raise funds to grow and develop. With the current scale of Weiqian, it can grow even without raising a penny.

Relying on the existing business volume, we can also create a new development miracle. With 40 to 50 billion US dollars in hand, we are not afraid of any opponent in a head-on collision.

Based on the amount of funds raised, the market popularity is far beyond imagination. After reporting to the headquarters for approval, the branch has decided to expand the original amount of funds raised to US$100 billion..."

Zhou Shouyuan was speechless, but he had nothing to refute, because Qingyun seemed to be in an absolutely strong position from its inception to the present, and now investors were holding checks asking for shares.

The fat of the primary financial trading market has not yet been divided up, but many people have jumped out and are ready to push for micropayment to be listed in Lijiaopo.

At the very least, the industrial fund that holds 30% of micropayment shares must be pushed to the bond market to publicly raise funds, because there are too many people waiting to make a profit.

“Take East Malaysia as an example. An audit specialist position under an investment fund is responsible for the qualification review of industrial fund investment. It is not even M5, but at best a team leader.

But for such a position, in just over three months from October last year to today, three people have been replaced in one breath and it still remains vacant. It really is a continuous stream of people taking up the position!

Previously, because of the investment in Bitcoin and Roewe Electronics dividend shares, many people secretly gave various benefits, especially Roewe Electronics' agent channel dealers, who gave money like crazy.

The only goal is to get an investment share of the Roewe Electronics Fund, and then use the status of dividend shareholder and domestic application for more supply sources. It can be seen that investors, various venture capitals, and customers attach great importance to the company...

However, during the year-end review, a third-party audit agency found that the person in charge of this position was suspected of multiple violations, and the bribes he admitted to receiving amounted to more than $60.

Wei Kejian seemed to be talking about a trivial matter, but in fact he was telling everyone that Qingyun and investors are not equal, because there are plenty of people with money and resources in the world.

But the core resources are unique and there is no other like it!
Everything he said next opened everyone's eyes and shattered their worldviews.

“With such a huge amount of money involved, of course we have to ask professionals to intervene. The first person in charge is now in prison and has not yet been sentenced.

Next, it's the second one's turn. Since the previous one had just come in, he should have learned some lessons from the experience, right?

The results of it?
Half a month later, he took office in mid-December, just when the third-party auditing agency was still conducting an audit. Against the wind, countless funds poured in with the launch of the micro wallet, and there was news that the micro payment fund was ready to go on sale.

Everyone knows that once you buy the shares, you will make ten or a hundred times the profit in the future, so some people go crazy and look for ways everywhere, and some even carry $50 in cash.

They threw it directly on his desk in the company's office, saying it was a meeting gift to make friends. Someone else offered him a $200 million investment share and gave him a kickback of 8 to 15 points.

It was finally found out that the one who spent the money was a local gaming company in East Malaysia. People bought investment shares for two reasons: one, to increase the value; the other was to take the opportunity to cooperate with the company and open up a new channel for washing rice in washing machines.

In three months, two people fell. The strange thing is that the successor fell before the predecessor even went to court.

As for the third person, the branch learned from previous experiences and lessons, and after careful selection, transferred a very principled person from the Compliance and Supervision Department.

But human greed took over, and within just a week, something went wrong again. This time, we managed to hold on to the bottom line and didn’t lose face for the compliance department…

Now, he is still lying in the hospital. They say it was a traffic accident, but everyone knows that it is just that some people who cannot get what they want are so ruthless. "

"Wait a minute, have you found out who made it?"

Li Zehua frowned and interrupted, and called Zhang Tao over to stand by. Wei Kejian shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, but it's most likely the noodle supplier or the spinach company that did it.

They are the only ones who have a crazy demand for rice washing in washing machines.”

As he spoke, he mentioned a few more suspects, especially the one who came with 50 yuan to openly bribe the owner.

"Write them down, check each one, and put pressure on the local government. Make sure you find the person for me."

Li Zehua's face condensed, and he said in a deep voice: "You are tired of living by having a knife on a tiger's head, right?

I won't offend anyone unless they offend me, but if they offend me, I will definitely offend them. No matter who is behind this, I will find him and kill him!"

Zhang Tao nodded and went down to do his work.

Zhou Shouyuan was not surprised by this. Sometimes, in business competition, it was always most cost-effective to solve the enemy through physical means.

If the opponents are of the same level, neither can do anything to the other and will naturally choose to compromise. However, when the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, sorry, the weaker side will be caught.

Then what awaits it will be a violent attack like a storm, and Qingyun will take this opportunity to establish his reputation so that the enemies hiding in the darkness will not dare to act easily.

Wei Kejian pretended not to see it and continued, "Boss Zhou, through this incident, you should understand how popular the group is in Southeast Asia. It is no exaggeration to say that.

We have the option to replace the powerful strength of any non-core ally.

We only need to be responsible to Qingyun employees. Relying on the superior salary and benefits, the company can recruit the best business team as quickly as possible.

The group does not need to waste precious time exchanging and compromising interests with investors and shareholders. The company only needs to be responsible to its employees and consumers.

When the number of employees in a company reaches millions or even tens of millions, as in China, plus the receipts in their hands, who is begging whom? "

Zhou Shouyuan resisted the urge to give a thumbs up, turned to Li Zehua and said, "Chairman, you have figured out the rules of the game.

It’s a pity that Europe and the United States cannot perfectly replicate the success of the group’s business. ”

"You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. Take your time and don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself. Everyone knows the situation in Europe and the United States. No one will blame you."

Li Zehua was in a good mood: "If you can spare the energy to take care of other things, you might as well take charge of the Atlantic coast market, especially the samba and foot basin chicken markets.

Samba is mainly engaged in agriculture and service industries, supplemented by WeChat technology. When more people join the interest group and help each other, micropayment may be developed quickly. "

Although he didn't get the management rights for the Southeast Asian market, he made up for it by getting America and East Asia. Zhou Shouyuan nodded immediately. As for the west coast of Africa along the Atlantic coast, he was sorry.

He really couldn't figure out that there is no market for this country where people can't even get enough food, eat movies every day, and are extremely lazy.

“I used to dream of becoming rich and powerful one day, giving back to society and benefiting more people.

But as I get older, I realize that everything is futile and ridiculous, because those who rely on conventional means to climb up step by step have too heavy a burden of cause and effect to bear.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, you can either devote yourself to capital or to big men. There is no third way.

Fortunately, I was reborn just in time for the mobile Internet, a godsend opportunity for ordinary people to rise, and I seized the opportunity and made arrangements in advance.

In this life, I must successfully take a completely different path..." (End of this chapter)
