Chapter 567 Can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words
Thursday was another busy day.
This board meeting was just a routine one and there was nothing urgent to discuss.
The establishment of the Sunshine Charity Foundation took up most of the meeting time, because according to the original plan, the scale of the foundation was to be controlled within 3000 million yuan in investment in the first half of this year. However, a few days ago, Luo Shengtang suddenly submitted a report that its Lemon CC had donated 7000 million yuan alone.
The size of the foundation suddenly reached 1 million.
That needs to be discussed.
Should the group continue to inject funds before the end of the year?
You should know that according to the original plan, the Sunshine Charity Foundation would reach a capital injection scale of 5000 by the end of this year. Now that all the target tasks for next year have been completed at once, whether to continue in the future has become the focus of everyone's attention.
“No more money will be injected into the foundation this year.”
Luo Yang had already made a decision: "As for next year, we'll see then."
There is more discussion about charitable foundations than just this one.
Needless to say, the position of chairman of the foundation will definitely be held by Luo Yang, and the position of secretary-general who is responsible for the daily affairs of the foundation will definitely be appointed by Luo Yang. In addition, the foundation has 3 to 5 vacancies for directors, and in theory, board members and group executives can hold these positions concurrently.
You can try to get a seat on the board of directors.
Why are you so enthusiastic?
Because they are all smart people, they know that in addition to the main purpose of charity, the foundation has many other ancillary functions, and these functions are of great benefit to part-time directors.
"I recommend Yu Haiping to serve as the Secretary-General of the Charity Foundation, responsible for the foundation's daily affairs."
Before discussing the number of directors, Luo Yang first decided on the secretary-general.
Yu Haiping is a member of the board of directors, director of the board's secretariat committee, and also serves as Luo Yang's assistant. He is a trusted general, so no one objected to this proposal once it was put forward.
The remaining members of the board of directors are Chu Jianming, An Ying, Song Wan, Zhao Hengtao, Tan Ying and Qiao Shian.
In order to be fair, Luo Yang simply waved his hand and made all six people directors of the foundation.
"Now it seems that everyone is happy, but I have something to say first."
Seeing the joyous atmosphere in the conference room, Luo Yang gave a warning in advance: "Lingshi Palace Group cannot remain unchanged. With subsequent development, its subsidiaries will definitely increase, but there are only 6 seats for the foundation's directors, and there will definitely be adjustments at that time. My idea is to have a 2-year term. If there are no more subsidiaries after the term, everyone will automatically continue to serve. If the number of subsidiaries exceeds 6, the next seat may have to be selected through elections."
This is inevitable.
If any subsidiaries added under the group in the future are at the same level as Kunpeng Technology or Luo Shengtang, or if the existing board members are transferred to be in charge of new industries, an explanation will be given at that time.
"Boss, I'll come up with a charter based on your ideas."
Yu Haiping took over Luo Yang's words and said, "After drafting it, send it to all members of the board of directors for review, and collect everyone's opinions, and finally summarize it to you."
"can."
This was originally what Luo Yang had agreed with Yu Haiping in advance, and now is the right time to bring it out.
In addition to discussing the charitable foundation, the meeting also talked about Jiang Xiaobai's acquisition of the winery.
It's not a question of how much the investment amount has increased, but that there have been major changes in the acquisition targets, acquisition methods, and acquisition quantities, which is almost equivalent to overturning the plan originally approved by the board of directors. It is necessary to clarify it now.
The new plan was proposed by Qiao Shian, and everyone unanimously agreed to it without even needing Luo Yang to speak.
Before the meeting ended, Chu Jianming proposed to borrow 5000 million yuan from the headquarters. After he briefly explained the reasons, Luo Yang made some comments and asked Kunpeng Technology to arrange the development of the US market as soon as possible.
His statement made it even less likely that other board members would object, so the proposal was passed unanimously.
The board meeting that was originally scheduled for the whole morning ended early.
Shortly after Luo Yang returned to the office, Yu Haiping knocked on the door and came in to report on his work.
"Boss, at today's board meeting, I was suddenly announced to be the secretary general of the charity foundation. I am deeply terrified and have come to you to learn from you. I still need your guidance on how to carry out my work in this position in the future."
Luo Yang did not discuss this matter with Yu Haiping in advance, which led to Yu Haiping's current statement.
How could he not be frightened?
It is a closed charity foundation that does not raise funds from the outside, and has injected funds of up to 1 million yuan. The daily affairs are left to him to manage. If he is willing to do something, it is too easy to make a few million a year.
Especially since this foundation not only undertakes charitable functions, but also has to take into account some of the boss's expenses, there are many explanations here.
So he ran over immediately after the meeting and asked Luo Yang for advice.
The so-called guidance is actually the rules set by Luo Yang, and it is also what Yu Haiping needs to pay attention to in his future work.
"I chose you to be the Secretary General of the Foundation for a reason."
Yu Haiping came to ask for advice in such a short time, it seems that he understood the meaning of this appointment, so Luo Yang explained in a good mood: "I have told you before that you will be the liaison with Secretary-General Chen of Yang City Chamber of Commerce, whether it is daily affairs or chamber of commerce activities."
“Does it include the charity events that the Chamber of Commerce organizes on a daily basis?”
"You can use the name of the Sunshine Charity Foundation to organize charity events with the Chamber of Commerce, but there should be no financial dealings between the two."
Hearing Yu Haiping's question, Luo Yang specifically explained: "I will donate the Chamber of Commerce's charitable funds in the name of the members. Your side is mainly the school's organizational model."
"I understand. We can participate in charity events organized by the Chamber of Commerce, and we can join forces, but we can't have any financial dealings."
Yu Haiping repeated the key points that Luo Yang had emphasized.
"Secondly, after you take on this position, you will be busier in external contacts, which will also allow you to better play your strengths. I am very confident that you can do well in this regard."
Luo Yang could say this, but it does mean he is not completely unsure.
After all, Yu Haiping came from the system, so he must be familiar with this kind of interpersonal communication and he is very comfortable with it.
"I won't go into other reasons, just keep them in mind."
Luo Yang thought about it and said, "Pay attention to the choice of financial positions, it is especially important, don't be stingy with high salaries."
Yu Haiping nodded: "I know, this position must be investigated more, and finally we can feel at ease after we have trained our own people."
Seeing that his assistant had a deep understanding, Luo Yang expressed satisfaction.
"Boss, do you have any guidance on the operation of the foundation's funds?"
Yu Haiping's questions gradually touched upon the core of the matter: "When we do charity, we must do it in a long-term manner. However, it is not a big deal to have such a large sum of money in the account. It would be a waste if we don't do some financial management or investment activities." "That's exactly what I want to tell you."
The president and directors of the foundation rarely show up in public most of the time, and the work is mainly presided over by the secretary-general.
The team headed by the Secretary-General has about 70 to 80 people. These people are not volunteers and need to be paid. Charitable foundations need office space, which costs money both for rent and office decoration.
So Luo Yang thought for a moment.
"According to the original plan, the foundation's fund size this year will reach 5000 million, of which 2500 million will be used for financial management and investment, 500 million will be used in batches for some charitable activities, and the remaining 2000 million will be used partly for foundation operating expenses, partly for subsidies to internal members, and the rest will be given to the finance department for short-term financial management."
After raising his head, he looked at Yu Haiping and said, "Now that the scale has doubled, we can have more money for investment and financial management this year, about 6000 million to 7000 million. The rest of the money will be used for charity in batches. The amount will remain unchanged. This year, we will still arrange a scale of 500 million. We can relax a little on spending, and the rest will still be handed over to the finance department for short-term financial management."
Both the previous and next paragraphs mentioned subsidizing internal members, but did not elaborate on how the subsidies were given.
This can only be understood and experienced by Yu Haiping himself.
For example, using the foundation's money to buy a villa
What did you say? Shouldn’t we prioritize the president’s life?
I've never seen such a big boss. He doesn't even have his own house in Shanghai and can't even have a good rest. How can he do charity work well?
"I understand that the funds in the foundation account need to be reasonably allocated, so that the foundation can operate better and charity can be made into a long-term cause."
Yu Haiping took notes of Luo Yang's opinions with a pen while replying to him.
The two of them discussed some of the foundation's rules and regulations and welfare systems one by one. Yu Haiping, in particular, asked very detailed questions and wanted Luo Yang to decide every little thing in person.
Luo Yang didn't like the trouble and just circled a few key points.
As for other details, he mostly did not express any opinions after Yu Haiping brought them up.
The discussion continued until twelve o'clock.
Wen Wan knew that Luo Yang had to go to the district to do some work in the afternoon, so she ordered a takeaway lunch in advance so that he could spend less time on lunch and have more time for an afternoon rest.
In terms of details, she did a better job than Yu Haiping.
Luo Yang thought that the signing ceremony in the afternoon would be very cumbersome, and he even asked the board of directors to prepare a speech in front of the media.
But to his surprise, there was no elaborate ceremony and no media attendance.
This visit to the district was entirely the personal idea of the leader in charge of economic work. He wanted to meet the person in charge of Kunpeng Technology, talk about the company's development plans in the next one or two years, and learn about the future prospects of the drone industry.
So after Luo Yang arrived at the district and met up with Chu Jianming, he was first taken to the reception room by his leader's secretary.
"Secretary Xu, what is the schedule for today?"
Chu Jianming started asking on the way. Although he also brought Xiao Wei here today, he was obviously the most suitable person to ask the questions.
"Mr. Luo, Mr. Chu, today's signing ceremony is actually very simple. The main reason is that the leaders want to talk to the two CEOs about the development of the company."
Secretary Xu was not tall and spoke in a gentle voice. After bringing Luo Yang and others into the meeting room, he arranged for the staff to make tea before leaving.
"Boss, this is my mistake."
Yu Haiping, who was familiar with the procedures of government departments, spoke first: "I originally thought that Secretary Xu would send a process to the company before noon, but he didn't. When I contacted him again, he explained it in a relatively simple way, which made me think..."
“This is not a matter of ceremony and process. The key is that the leadership’s interest in the drone industry came a little suddenly.”
Luo Yang waved his hand and tilted his head to look at Chu Jianming: "Old Chu, has the district never talked to you about this before? Or has it never organized a visit?"
"Chairman, if there is any action in the district, you will definitely be notified."
Chu Jianming was also confused. In order to prepare for this afternoon's events, he not only brought Xiao Wei, but also Ke Ruoyun from the finance department.
Now I haven't seen the bank's people yet, and I was taken to the reception room to wait.
Fortunately, the leader did not make them wait too long. Only four or five minutes after Secretary Xu left, the leader walked into the meeting room.
"Good leadership!"
There's no need for introduction, you can tell by looking at the position Secretary Xu is following behind the leader.
"Leader, this is Luo Yang, the chairman of Kunpeng Technology. He is a student at Shanghai University of Engineering and Technology and is currently a senior. Kunpeng Technology is a company he founded during his sophomore year."
"I've heard for a long time that there is a high-tech enterprise in the Science and Technology Park that was founded by a college student and has achieved remarkable results. I have some understanding of you, but after meeting Mr. Luo in person, I really felt the innovative spirit of contemporary college students."
The leader shook Luo Yang's right hand, and introduced himself with a smile: "I am Lv Lin, in charge of Minhang's economic development."
Secretary Xu was slightly behind the leader by half a body length and continued to help the leader introduce other people.
"This is Chu Jianming, the executive president of Kunpeng Technology."
"This is Mr. Luo's assistant in the group, Yu Haiping."
"Who is this"
After some greetings, they sat down on the sofas in the reception room.
"In the past two years, the country has successively introduced a number of policies, all of which are aimed at industrial upgrading, environmental protection, new energy technology and other aspects. In order to respond to the call from above, our district is also preparing to build the high-tech industrial zone into a model industrial zone."
Lu Lin was thin, wore glasses, and looked very pragmatic. He didn't say much politeness at the beginning and went straight to the point.
"After the beginning of the year, the district asked the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Industrial Development, Investment Promotion Office and other units to conduct a survey to count and classify the industries currently settled in Minhang, so that the district can understand the distribution of various industries."
When he said this, Lu Lin paused.
He looked at Luo Yang and smiled: "Most other industries have been classified, but the staff below had different opinions on the classification of Kunpeng Technology. Finally, I happened to know about this matter. Out of curiosity, I also learned about it. As a result, I found out that it is actually an emerging industry. In fact, I am not afraid to embarrass myself. I don’t know how to classify it either."
Drones are truly a new industry.
It doesn't seem appropriate to classify it as aerospace.
The key point is that this thing is still being developed by a private enterprise.
If we classify it into the toy industry, this company has five or six research and development laboratories alone.
Which toy company is so high-end?
Take a look at the research and development contents: new energy power batteries, software control systems, new materials, navigation. It seems to touch on everything, but it cannot be classified into related industries.
So Lu Lin asked his secretary to find out more about the company.
After he read the preliminary information, he became more curious.
"Mr. Luo, Mr. Chu, can you explain this industry to me?"
Lu Lin looked at Luo Yang and Chu Jianming with curiosity. This expression was not fake. It seemed that he really wanted to get to know them better.
