"Boss, when are we going to have a holiday this year?" After Cao Shuai and the others left, Su Qing asked while packing away their used tea cups.

"What? You want to take a vacation?"

"Mainly I miss my family."

"Aren't you a local from Shanghai? I think they can go back at any time!"

"I am a local in 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 place, and then the two of them returned to Shanghai together.

But my father has lived there for so many years and has long been attached to it. My eldest brother and second brother were also born there, and they also like it very much.

I was the only one who was born and raised in Shanghai, and they stay in AH for a long time every year until the Chinese New Year and then come back."

"So that's it! 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 more.

Luo Fan originally thought that it was almost the Chinese New Year, so nothing would happen.

Unexpectedly, Wang Hui ran to his office the next day.

"Boss, something happened!"

Luo Fan was a little helpless when he heard this. It was almost the Chinese New Year and he still couldn't stop. He motioned to Wang Hui to sit down, asked Su Qing to pour Wang Hui a cup of tea, and then let Wang Hui talk about the matter.

"Boss, there is an employee in our department who has a 2-year-old daughter.

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

This kind of medicine costs 40,000 yuan a month. He really had no choice but to beg me, hoping that I could 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 Wang Hui mentioned 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 the ordinary employees of Xingyuan have been completely wiped out.

However, the high price of drugs is related to various reasons, including research and development costs, patent cycles, pharmaceutical company profits and domestic wages...

In short, it is the combined effect of many factors that makes it impossible for most families in China to afford this medicine.

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

"Xiao Su."

"Boss, I'm here."

"You and Mr. Wang will go to the logistics department later and tell Mr. Qin about this and ask her to help with a donation...Wait a minute! Xiao Su, please go ahead and call everyone from Xingyuan immediately.

Senior management meeting."

Su Qing immediately nodded and turned around to do it.

Half an hour later, all the senior executives of Xingyuan gathered in Xingyuan's conference room.

As the New Year is approaching, although there are no major issues in various departments of Xingyuan, there are a lot of small things. Luo Fan suddenly called them together at this time, leaving all the senior officials confused.

"I'm calling everyone here! I have something I want to say, but before I talk about it, I want to ask you a question. What kind of company do you think Xingyuan will be in the future?"

The senior 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 one after BAT in a few years."

Internet giant."

Other senior executives heard this and expressed their agreement.

Currently, among Xingyuan's businesses, gaming is the most profitable, and it is 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 company in the news field.

In the field of news, even Penguin News, with its QQ traffic, is no match, 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 has many competitors, Xingyuan has already reached cooperation with Baidu and has the support of Xingyuan. It should be able to occupy some markets in the future.

The Xingyuan application platform has already begun its transformation, and if nothing else goes wrong, it should be completed within next year.

Xiaopo Station and Xingyuan Cinema are also developing according to planned plans.

The only uncertain factor is Star Chat. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Penguin is a giant in the social field. Even if Star Chat has a slight advantage now, there is no guarantee that it can completely stabilize the situation.

But overall, Xingyuan is definitely thriving.

"Yes! In a sense, Xingyuan is already very powerful now, and the future is even more limitless. Our company's wealth can't be spent in ten lifetimes, so what's the point of what we are doing now?"

Everyone stopped talking after hearing this. They didn't understand the purpose of Luo Fan's words.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Luo Fan stood up and said: "Our company's development to this point, in a sense, is standing at the crossroads of destiny.

Penguin, Alibaba, and Baidu have all experienced similar situations, but the choices they made were different.

More than ten years ago, Mr. Ma of Penguin started social software with the intention of communicating with users across the country. At that time, Penguin relied on his passion to get where it is today, but now it has become like this.

The same goes for Mr. Ma of Alibaba. When he founded Alibaba, his purpose was to make it easy to do business in the world, but now Taobao is desperately squeezing small merchants.

Not only that, Alibaba personally decided to build Tmall and divert Taobao traffic to its own platform. This is a rhythm that will kill ordinary merchants.

I don’t need to say more about Baidu. When you open the browser, there are all kinds of ads, and there is no bottom line at all.

I’m wondering, will the future of our company be like this?”

Hearing this, Xingyuan's senior executives 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 unison.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! One of these two people is the boss's cousin and the other is the boss's girlfriend. At this time, they are the only ones suitable to talk.

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

So Cao Shuai stood up and said: "Boss, what we are doing is still very good. We have always remembered what you said before about not making money that is unconscionable."

"I know this, but I think just saying this is not enough. We are just adhering to the bottom line and have not done anything beneficial to this society. I think we should take the initiative to do something for this society."

"What should we take the initiative to do for society? How to do it specifically?" Li Jingyi asked.

"As Internet giants, we are a type of capital, and capital has exploitation and oppression in its genes.

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

Of course, if our business philosophy is always well-intentioned, we can avoid exploitation and oppression to a certain extent, but in fact this is treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Because capital itself pursues profits, it is impossible to allow a monopolist not to seek the highest profits.

So in order to maintain our position, we must do some not-so-good things.

Because if we don’t do it and someone else does it, and they have more funds and stronger capabilities, they will challenge us in turn, and we may lose.”

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

"That's right! The boss's business is a process in which bad money drives out good money. Unless the law forcibly intervenes, there will never be a solution. The dragon slayer will turn into an evil dragon, no matter what his original intention is." Wang Jing

Then he said.

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

Taking a step back, now that all the Internet giants have gone bankrupt, the market will once again compete, but the monopoly giants in the future will become the same.

This problem has no solution and is an inevitability of capital.

"You are right, everything is inevitable. I am not a saint. It is impossible for me to give up my career. Besides, even if there is no Xingyuan, there will be other enterprises.

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

"What you said, boss, makes it seem like we have become evil capitalists.

Our employee benefits at Xingyuan are not bad, we make donations every year, and we try to accept advertisements from companies that don’t have any negative news.”

"I'm not talking about the internal problems of our company, but the external problems. I know that our company is still very good internally. What I want to do is to help more people within our ability.

For example, we can build an Internet-based charity fund."

"Charitable funds? Boss, what is the main goal of this fund?" Cao Shuai asked.

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

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

After hearing this, everyone had different expressions.

"Boss, is this why you want to set up charity funds?" Li Jingyi asked.

"Yes, but the charity funds I want to make are different from charity funds in the general sense.

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

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

%.”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock. Everyone present here are senior executives from Xingyuan. Even those who didn't understand technology at the beginning have a very clear understanding of big data after years of reading and seeing.
