Rebirth of the Wild Age

There are many entrepreneurs who want to join the Taurus Club, but the charter of the Taurus Club has been revised last year: a maximum of three new members can be admitted each year, and they need to be recommended by more than three old members, and 90% of the old members vote for approval.

Facts have proved that 90% of those who actively ask to join the Taurus Club are not very reliable, and most of them are engaged in finance and real estate. Real industrialists are busy with business. The bigger the company, the more things they have to do. How can they have the leisure to form cliques?

Li Sufu recommended one this year, and even called Song Weiyang and Song Qizhi, hoping to get a joint recommendation from the Song brothers.

Song Weiyang immediately agreed and called other members. As soon as everyone heard the name of this person, there was no need to hold a meeting to vote, and it was passed directly on the phone——Cao Dewang!

Cao Dewang himself didn't want to join any club, but was forced to come by Li Sufu. The two belonged to a normal business relationship, Li Sufu's main business was making cars, and Cao Dewang's main business was making car glass. As early as more than ten years ago, it was Cao Dewang who rewrote the history of China's 100% dependence on imports of auto glass, and drove Japanese benzene auto glass out of the Chinese market in a few years.

Mountain City, Yuzhou Hotel.

Everyone applauds, we have new friends! Song Weiyang led the crowd to a standing ovation.

Since it was a private occasion and he didn't talk about any work topics, Cao Dewang was dressed as a layman today, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging on his wrist. He smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, raised his hand and said, Don't do this, don't do this, everyone please sit down, thank you friends for your love.

Boss Cao, don't be modest. When it comes to doing business, you are the predecessor of all of us. Liu Yonghang laughed.

Cao Dewang said: I'm just a few years older than everyone, it's not a big deal.

Cao Dewang is already in his fifties. In the 1960s, he followed his father to resell shredded tobacco, and then wholesale fruit. By 1975, he had accumulated a huge sum of 50,000 yuan. You read that right, it was indeed 1975, when there was still a lot of movement, and if you were caught, you would probably be shot immediately.

In 1985, Cao Dewang introduced equipment, recruited talents, and successfully developed special glass for automobiles. Its cost is less than 200 yuan, and the price is 2,000 yuan, which is much cheaper than Japanese benzene products. At that time, people in the circle said that he was printing money.

Not long ago, Cao Dewang bought out all the foreign shares of his joint venture company and forced the French Saint-Gobain Group not to enter the Chinese market within five years. In a few years, Cao Dewang will become the first Chinese to sue the U.S. Department of Commerce and win two anti-dumping cases in the U.S. and Canada. Afterwards, the US Secretary of Commerce visited China and asked Cao Dewang to meet with him by name, and negotiated to solve the problem in person.

Many years later, 70% of the cars produced in China use the glass produced by Cao Dewang. At the same time, it cooperates with eight major foreign car manufacturers and becomes the second largest supplier of car glass in the world.

This person claims to have never given bribes, and even never sent a box of moon cakes. He is also a devout Buddhist and is keen on charity. As of 2018, he has accumulated more than 8 billion personal donations.

Of course, Cao Dewang was also criticized by the people of the country. Later, he invested 1 billion US dollars to build a factory in the United States, and the media exclaimed, Cao Dewang is going to run away!

Cao Dewang did not make too many excuses for this, and settled the accounts very honestly to the reporter: To build a factory in China, the cost of land is 9 times that of the United States, the cost of logistics is 2 times that of the United States, the cost of bank loans is 2.4 times that of the United States, and the cost of natural gas and electricity. It is twice that of the United States, the cost of steam is 1.1 times that of the United States, the cost of accessories is 3.2 times that of the United States, and the cost of depreciation is 1.7 times that of the United States. There are two advantages, one is low labor cost, and the other is low factory construction cost.”

...

Chen Tao saw that Cao Dewang was dressed as a layman, and there were Buddhist beads on his wrist, so he couldn't help asking: Mr. Cao, don't you eat meat? How about I ask the hotel to change it to vegetarian food for you?

No need, Cao Dewang waved his hand, Although I believe in Buddhism, I don't burn incense and don't eat vegetarian food. It can be said that there are no taboos.

Duan Yongping smiled and said, You are a Buddha, you believe in it a little chicly. It's like what Ji Gong said in the TV series: Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha keeps it in his heart.

Cao De said happily: How can I compare with Jigong? He is a living Buddha in the world, and I am just a common people. But the matter of believing in Buddhism is firstly to be pious in heart, and secondly to do more good deeds. You say that you believe in Buddha and see temples Just enter, worship the Buddha when you see the Buddha, and end up full of men and women, then this person who believes in Buddhism is in vain, and he is just deceiving himself and others.

Well said, Song Weiyang raised his glass with a smile, you don't have to drink wine, do you?

Cao Dewang said: No taboo, but don't drink too much.

Song Weiyang said: Then I'll toast Boss Cao and formally welcome you to join the small group of the Jinniu Club.

It's easy to say, easy to say. Cao Dewang gulped it down.

Speaking of charity, there is now a foundation about AIDS... Song Weiyang briefly explained the current situation of AIDS in rural China, If Boss Cao is willing, he can donate some.

Cao Dewang was surprised: There are AIDS villages in China?

Song Weiyang said: Yes, whole villages are infected with AIDS because of selling blood. The local people are too poor. Especially those AIDS orphans, who themselves are healthy, but die because of their parents' illness. Lonely and helpless, I was rejected by the local school. I donated some money last year and set up a school with the youth fund in the regiment. The school will officially start in September this year. In addition, I also adopted some AIDS orphans in name, Responsible for their future tuition fees. Boss Cao can also adopt some, the money is not much, and there is no need to spend energy. The charity fund will take care of it for you.”

You have to donate some money, Amitabha. Cao Dewang said with a sigh.

The rest of the Taurus Club knew about this a long time ago, and they also participated in the charity school, so they didn't say anything now.

Zhang Xuanlong has lived in Hong Kong City all year round and has a good understanding of charity. He said: Why don't we also set up a charity fund and donate a little every year. The name is 'Golden Bull Charity Association'.

Liu Yonghao seconded, That's a good idea.

Yes, I support it. Cao Dewang said.

Cao Dewang is keen on doing charity, not only because he believes in Buddhism, but also because of family factors. His father used to be a shareholder of Yong'an Department Store in Laosheng Beach, and his family moved due to the war, and has since become impoverished.

Didn't Guo Meimei stink the Red Cross for a while? Look at what Cao Dewang said to the reporter at the time: When my dad taught me how to do business, he thought that after you have done (business) for this generation and want to continue to do the second or third generation, you have to learn Do charity. Because when the conflict between the rich and the poor is deep, you will have no business if there is chaos. Therefore, while doing a good job in your own business, you must pay attention to the social development around you. This is a strategic issue for entrepreneurs...not just The Red Cross Society of China, in the United States a hundred years ago, when those entrepreneurs were doing charity, they were also questioned by the American people and the government. This shows that we are still in the initial stage of economic development, which is inevitable. No matter how good it is, some people question it. Of course, first of all, the government should review it, follow up with legislation, and enforce the law very rigorously to bring those black apples to justice. Kill them both, and then things will stabilize.”

Cai Zhiping asked: Can private individuals in China set up charitable funds?

Cao Dewang said: It should be possible, but the procedure is very complicated, and it must be controlled by relevant departments, and funds cannot be used at will.

Zhang Xuanlong said: We can set up a charitable foundation in Hong Kong City, and only set up an office in the mainland.

Song Weiyang said: Even so, we must cooperate with the Red Cross and the Hope Project. How about this? I have a good relationship with the Youth Development Foundation, and the Hope Project is carried out by them. The Central Committee of the Youth League is directly under the supervision. Our charity association is directly affiliated Under the name of the Youth Development Foundation, the charity funds can be handed over to the Youth Development Foundation for management, and they will be given a management fee, but we have the right to control the charity funds. When doing charity, we can also cooperate with the Youth Development Foundation. They are all over the country Both have energy.

Cao Dewang nodded and said, That's a good idea.

Then it's settled, cheers!

Everyone toasted and drank.
