Rebirth of the Wild Age

There are many entrepreneurs who want to join the Taurus Club, but the Taurus Club’s articles of association have been revised last year: each year a maximum of three new members must be recruited, recommended by more than three old members, and 90% of the old members voted for approval.

Facts have proved that 90% of those who voluntarily request to join the Taurus are unreliable, and most of them are engaged in finance and real estate. The real industrialists are busy doing business. The bigger the company, the more things there will be.

Li Sufu recommended one this year, and also 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 at all, and they passed it directly over the phone-Cao Dewang!

Cao Dewang himself didn't want to join any club, but Li Sufu was dragged over. The two are in normal business dealings. Li Sufu's main business is car making, and Cao Dewang's main business is car glass. As early as more than ten years ago, it was Cao Dewang who rewritten the history of China's auto glass being 100% dependent on imports, and drove Japanese auto glass out of the Chinese market within a few years.

Mountain City, Yuzhou Hotel.

"Everyone applauds and welcomes, and there are new friends!" Song Weiyang led everyone to a standing ovation.

As it was a private occasion and did not discuss any work topics, Cao Dewang was dressed as a layman today with a string of Buddhist beads hanging on his wrist. He smiled almost like a Maitreya Buddha, and 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 humble. When it comes to doing business, you are the predecessor to all of us." Liu Yonghang smiled.

Cao Dewang said: "I'm just a few years older than everyone else, it's no big deal."

Cao Dewang is already in his fifties. In the 1960s, he followed his father to resell shredded tobacco and then wholesale fruits. By 1975, he had accumulated a huge sum of 50,000 yuan. You are not mistaken. It was indeed 1975. At that time, there was still a movement. If you were caught, you could be shot directly.

In 1985, Cao Dewang introduced equipment and recruited talents to successfully develop special glass for automobiles. The 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 own joint venture and forced the French Saint-Gobain Group not to enter the Chinese market for five years. In a few years, Cao Dewang will become the first Chinese to sue the U.S. Department of Commerce and win. He has won two anti-dumping cases in the U.S. and Canada. Later, the US Secretary of Commerce visited China, called Cao Dewang by name, and negotiated and resolved the issue in person.

Many years later, 70% of the cars produced in China used Cao Dewang's glass. At the same time, it cooperated with eight major foreign automobile manufacturers to become the world's second largest supplier of automotive glass.

This person claimed to have never offered bribes and even "never gave a box of moon cakes." He is also a devout Buddhist and is keen on charity. As of 2018, he has donated more than 8 billion yuan in personal donations.

Of course, Cao Dewang was sometimes criticized by Chinese people. Later, he invested $1 billion to build a factory in the United States. The media exclaimed that "Cao Dewang is going to run away"!

Cao Dewang did not make much excuses for this, and he settled the accounts very honestly to reporters: "To build a factory in China, the cost of land is 9 times that of the United States, the cost of logistics is twice that of the United States, and the cost of bank borrowing is 2.4 times that of the United States. 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 depreciation cost is 1.7 times that of the United States. One advantage is the low labor cost, and the second is the low cost of plant construction."

...

Chen Tao saw Cao Dewang dressed as a layman, and there was a Buddhist bead on his wrist, she couldn't help asking, "Mr. Cao is not afraid of meat? Should I let the hotel give you a vegetarian meal?"

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

Duan Yongping smiled and said, "You Buddha, you're a bit chic. Just like what Jigong said in the TV series: "The meat and wine have passed through the intestines, but the Buddha will keep it in his heart."

Cao Dewang said happily: "How can I compare with Jigong, he is a living Buddha on earth, I am just a large number of beings. But the thing about believing in Buddhism, one is inner pious, and the other is to do more good deeds. You say that you believe in Buddhism, see the temple. When you enter, you will worship when you see the Buddha, and the result will be a male thief and a female prostitute. Then the believer in the Buddha will be a vain believer, and he will deceive himself and others."

"Well said," Song Weiyang smiled and toasted, "you don't have to avoid alcohol, right?"

Cao Dewang said: "Don't avoid it, but don't drink too much."

Song Weiyang said: "Then I will offer Boss Cao a glass and formally welcome you to join the small group of Taurus Club."

"Easy to say, easy to say." Cao Dewang drank it.

"Speaking of charity, now there is a foundation about AIDS..." Song Weiyang briefly said about the current situation of AIDS in rural China. "Boss Cao can donate some if he wants to."

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

Song Weiyang said: "Yes, the whole village was infected with AIDS, it was sold blood, the local people are too poor. Especially those AIDS orphans, they are healthy, but because their parents are sick. I am lonely and helpless and rejected by the local school. I donated some money last year and established a school together with the Youth Fund in the regiment, which will officially open in September this year. In addition, I also adopted some AIDS orphans in name. Responsible for their future tuition. Boss Cao can also adopt some, and the money is not much, and there is no need to spend energy. The charity fund is responsible for helping you handle the money."

"You have to donate some money, Amitabha." Cao Dewang sighed.

The other people in the Taurus Club knew about this for a long time, and they also had a share in the charity school, and now they have nothing to say.

Zhang Xuanlong lives in Hong Kong all the year round and has a better understanding of charity. He said, "Why don't we set up a charity fund and donate a little every year. The name is "Golden Bull Charity Club"."

Liu Yonghao seconded: "This is 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 was once a shareholder of "Yongan Department Store" in Laosheng Beach, and his family moved because of the war, and he became impoverished since then~www.readwn.com~ For a while, didn't Guo Meimei mess with the Red Cross? Take a look at what Cao Dewang said to reporters at the time: "When my dad taught me to do business before, he thought that when you have been in this generation and want to continue to be the second and third generation, you have to learn Do charity. Because when the conflict between the rich and the poor is very deep, you will have no business in chaos. Therefore, while doing your own business, you must pay attention to the social development around you. This is a strategic issue for entrepreneurs... The Chinese Red Cross, in the United States a hundred years ago, when entrepreneurs were doing charity, they were also questioned by the American citizens and the government. This shows that we are still in the initial stage of economic development. This is inevitable. No matter how good it is, there are people who question it. Of course, the government should first review and follow up with the legislation, and also very rigorously enforce the law to bring those black sheep to justice. Kill them and stabilize later."

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 is subject to the control of relevant departments, and funds cannot be arbitrarily controlled."

Zhang Xuanlong said: "We can set up charity foundations in Hong Kong, and only offices on the mainland."

Song Weiyang said: "Even so, we must cooperate with the Red Cross and the Hope Project. Why not, I have a good relationship with the Youth Development Foundation, and the Hope Project is done by them, directly under the supervision of the Youth League. Our charity is directly affiliated. Under the name of the Youth Foundation, charitable funds can be handed over to the Youth Foundation for management, giving them a management fee, but we have the control of the charitable funds. When doing charity, you can also cooperate with the Youth Foundation. They are all over the country. All have energy."

Cao Dewang nodded and said, "This is a good idea."

"Then it's settled, cheers!"

Everyone toasted and drank.
