Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

Chapter 517: Domineering Future Technology Group

After the speech, Hao Qiang walked down the podium calmly with a faint smile on his face.

There was thunderous applause in the venue, and many business owners stood up to applaud him, with admiration and appreciation in their eyes.

However, not everyone supported him. Some bosses smiled on the surface but had gloomy faces, and obviously did not buy into Hao Qiang's proposal.

These bosses secretly murmured in their hearts: "Your Future Technology Group is profitable and well-funded, so naturally you can talk a lot about employee benefits.

You, Hao Qiang, are very wealthy, so he can talk without any pain in his waist.

But companies like us don't make much profit, so how can we afford to improve our employees' meals?"

For them, if the company has a thousand employees, improving the food alone will cost an additional one or two million yuan each year, which is undoubtedly a considerable burden.

Instead of spending money on employees, it would be more practical to buy yourself a luxury car.

In their view, the primary goal of a business is to make a profit, not to do charity.

So, Hao Qiang said that these people are short-sighted. He believes that they only care about immediate interests and ignore the long-term value of their employees.

Even though some bosses agree with Hao Qiang's point of view and believe that improving employee benefits may lead to better work efficiency, they are also worried that if they invest money but see no obvious results, it will be difficult to restore the original standards.

Therefore, although Hao Qiang's speech won applause, there were very few bosses who were really willing to take action.

It is one thing to admire Hao Qiang's courage and foresight, but when it comes to real money, most bosses choose to be cautious and wait and see.

After all, the essence of business operations is profit-seeking, and no one wants to rashly increase costs without clear returns.

However, for Future Technology Group's suppliers and partners, the situation is completely different.

They had no choice but to make rectifications according to Hao Qiang's requirements.

The suppliers of Future Technology Group dare not offend such a "financial backer" at all.

Even if they were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to carry out the plan. After all, losing the cooperation of Future Technology Group would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to them.

Alas, there’s nothing we can do, Hao Qiang is their boss!

At the same time, on social media outside the venue, Hao Qiang's speech was like a bombshell, quickly sparking heated discussions across the entire network.

In just one hour, at the Guangdong Business Conference, topics such as Hao Qiang's speech on employee benefits, making horses run faster, and the need to reform food became hot searches, triggering heated discussions among tens of thousands of netizens.

Netizens gave thumbs up to Hao Qiang's speech and supported him, believing that this was a model for enterprises to fulfill their social responsibilities.

One highly-rated comment read: "This is a truly responsible company! I hope more companies can follow the example of Future Technology Group, focusing on the well-being of their employees and ensuring basic food quality."

"I hope our boss can see Hao Qiang's speech, then reflect on it and improve the quality of the company's meals. We work hard every day and can't even have a decent meal. It's really disheartening." Countless netizens posted in agreement under this comment. Some netizens said that even if their vampire boss saw it, he would pretend not to see it.

Many netizens also posted photos of the "dark dishes" in their company cafeterias, complaining about the poor quality of the food.

One netizen shared a picture with the caption: "The food in our company has always been very bad. Every day we have cabbage and tofu, which are cooked very badly. Even meat is rare.

Now that’s good, we are a supplier of Future Technology Group. Mr. Hao has spoken, and the boss has to make changes.

Thanks to Hao Qiang, ordinary employees like us finally have the hope of having a normal work meal!"

As the discussion deepened, more and more netizens began to pay attention to the current situation of corporate employee benefits.

Some media also struck while the iron was hot and launched special reports on the quality of corporate employee meals, exposing the perfunctory attitude of many companies towards employee welfare.

These reports further intensified public attention on Hao Qiang's speech, and Future Technology Group's practices were pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

of course,

Some netizens are not optimistic, believing that even if the boss improves the quality of employees' meals, he will exploit employees in other ways, such as asking employees to pay for meals, making them work overtime invisibly, and secretly deducting wages.

In fact, for most employees, if paying a little for food expenses can improve the quality of food, most employees are willing to do so.

But since employees pay more, it feels like it’s better to eat outside the company.

The Guangdong Businessmen's Conference continued, and Hao Qiang did not notice that his speech had been pushed to the forefront.

After a few hours,

Driven by social media, Hao Qiang's speech triggered deep reflection on corporate social responsibility among all sectors of society.

Many experts and scholars have commented that Hao Qiang's suggestions reflect the humanistic trend of modern corporate management and call on more companies to pay attention to the long-term development of employees rather than just viewing them as "tools."

Of course, some bosses questioned Hao Qiang's approach.

While improving employee benefits is important, companies also need to consider cost issues.

If all companies were as generous as Future Technology Group, I'm afraid few companies would be unable to afford it.

In fact, Hao Qiang’s suggestion is just “the most basic one meat and two vegetables, the quality is at least acceptable”, not that every meal should be full of fish and meat.

The next day,

Future Technology Group has officially released the "Supplier Employee Meal Guarantee Regulations", which details the basic requirements for suppliers' employee meals and has established a special supervisory committee responsible for regularly inspecting and evaluating suppliers' implementation.

Previously, Future Technology Group had issued employee wage guarantee conditions and would cancel cooperation with companies that defaulted on employee wages.

In fact, Future Technology Group is not the first to adopt this practice. Many large companies require suppliers to guarantee employee wages and not to delay payments.

However, this is the first time that Future Technology Group has proposed to require suppliers to improve the quality of their meals.

All suppliers quickly received documents from Future Technology Group, and most of the supplier bosses immediately made corrections. Those that had no problems previously would continue to improve on the original basis.

Those who are reluctant to make corrections still have to do so and dare not try other tricks.

The documents of Future Technology Group clearly state that any deductions from employee benefits by various means will be re-evaluated.

No one wants their company to become a model.

Influenced by the widespread media coverage and heated social discussions, more and more companies have begun to pay attention to employee meals and have begun to improve the meals in their company canteens.

Whether it is a large enterprise or a small or medium-sized company, senior managers have begun to frequently appear in the employee cafeteria and eat with ordinary employees.

Even if some bosses are just pretending, in order to survive this period of public attention, they have to temporarily lower their status and show "care" for their employees.

However, the rectification measures taken by some companies have not won the genuine gratitude of their employees.

On the contrary, some employees generally believe that these changes were made under pressure from public opinion rather than the bosses' original intention.

One netizen complained on social media: “The food in the company cafeteria has indeed improved, but the boss’s face is uglier than the food.

They clearly spent the money, but we know in our hearts that this is just a means to deal with public opinion."

Some employees even said bluntly: "If Hao Qiang hadn't spoken out, we would probably have to continue eating those unpalatable meals.

The one who should be thanked is Hao Qiang, not our boss."

Two days later, Hao Qiang posted a message on Toutiao, which once again attracted widespread attention.

He wrote: “When I first proposed improving employee meals, it wasn’t just to give employees a good meal, but I also hoped that through such an initiative, I could promote respect and care for ordinary employees throughout the industry.

Employees are a company's most valuable asset. Only when they truly feel the company's warmth will they devote themselves to their work, and only then can the company's long-term development be guaranteed."

This post quickly received hundreds of thousands of likes and reposts, and netizens left messages in the comment section to express their support.

Hao Qiang's social influence is so great that his words and actions are quietly changing the relationship between companies and employees.

In fact, this is exactly what he expected to see.

In any case, Hao Qiang is also a representative of Ren Da in Guangdong Province. With his terrifying social influence and status, he is very likely to be elected as a representative of Ren Da nationwide next year.

In recent times, especially since the release of the world's richest list, he has devoted more energy to promoting philanthropy.

However, unlike some business owners, Hao Qiang first devoted himself to improving the salaries and benefits of ordinary employees before engaging in charity.

Unlike someone who actually put forward the bizarre argument that "raising workers' wages will weaken their motivation to work."

2012 year 12 month 1 day,

The weather in Shenzhen is gradually getting colder, but the city is particularly lively because of an important meeting, which has attracted high social attention.

The "Huaguo New Energy Conference" hosted by the National Energy Department and co-organized by Future Technology Group was grandly held in Shenzhen.

The conference brought together top companies and industry leaders in the domestic new energy field. Participants included leaders from the National Energy Administration, Hao Qiang, Chairman of Future Technology Group, and his two senior managers, as well as Wang Chuanfu, Chairman of BYD, Mr. Gao, Chairman of Tianxin Solar, and chairmen or shareholders of many companies including Yuecheng Tianci Materials Co., Ltd., Huizhou Yiwei Lithium Energy Co., Ltd., Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Industry Co., Ltd., and Sichuan Tianqi Mining Co., Ltd.

It is worth mentioning that the four major lithium battery companies participating in the conference - Yuecheng Tianci Materials, Huizhou Yiwei Lithium Energy, Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Industry and Sichuan Tianqi Mining, are actually all holding companies of Hao Qiang.

It can be said that Huaguo’s power lithium battery resources are almost firmly controlled by Hao Qiang.

New energy vehicles occupy a huge share in the new energy field.

By integrating industrial chain resources, Hao Qiang not only consolidated Future Technology Group's leading position in the new energy field, but also provided strong support for the rapid development of Huaguo's new energy vehicles.

At the opening ceremony of the conference, Hao Qiang, as the representative of the co-organizer, delivered an important speech on the theme of "New Energy and Sustainable Development", exploring the role of new energy in environmental protection.

He stood on the podium with a calm and confident tone: "New energy is the core driving force for future global economic development, and Huaguo is already at the forefront of the world in this field.

As a company, we must not only pursue technological innovation and commercial success, but also shoulder the responsibility of promoting social progress and attach importance to the sustainable development of new energy..."

His speech won warm applause from the audience.

Participants all lamented that Hao Qiang's layout in recent years has been too smart and too large.

Currently, the four major lithium battery companies are about to complete their Series C financing, and their total valuation may reach 2000 billion yuan.

Future Technology Group's super lithium batteries continue to dominate the global new energy vehicle market with their outstanding performance and leading technology.

The new product not only has high energy density and fast charging speed, but also far exceeds its competitors in safety and service life.

With these advantages, Future Technology Group has almost scooped up most of the global orders for new energy vehicle lithium batteries, leaving former industry giants such as LG Chem, Four Star and other lithium battery manufacturers powerless to fight back and can only watch their domestic market share being eroded.

Hao Qiang can stand on top of the world and shout:

"Who else!?"

Currently, Future Technology Group is accelerating the construction of its third-phase ternary lithium battery factory with a production capacity of up to 100GWh, which is expected to be officially put into operation in 2013. By then, Future Technology Group's total lithium battery production capacity will exceed 205GWh, making it the world's largest lithium battery manufacturer.

In fact, since the announcement of the super lithium battery technology in May this year and its official sales in July, the company's lithium battery products have been in short supply.

The explosive growth of the domestic new energy vehicle market has made Future Technology Group's production capacity stretched to its limits.

According to this trend, even if the third phase of the factory is put into operation, it will probably not be long before production capacity is in crisis again.

Therefore, after a meeting with the group's strategic department, Hao Qiang started the fourth phase of investment in the lithium battery factory.

This time, the investment will be made in the industrial park in his hometown, with a production capacity of 100GWh.

The new energy era has arrived and we cannot afford to slack off.

During the meeting, Hao Qiang reached strategic cooperation agreements with a number of companies, further consolidating Future Technology Group's leading position in the new energy field.

At the same time, he also had in-depth exchanges with the leaders of the National Energy Administration to discuss how to continue to promote the comprehensive development of Huaguo's new energy industry through policy support and technological innovation.

……

One day after dinner,

Twinkling stars.

Hao Qiang was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden of his own mansion.

Beside him, Qiu Yuqing and Han Qingying walked side by side, their conversation and laughter seemed particularly warm in the quiet night.

Two two-and-a-half-year-old little guys, like two lively little tails, jumped and followed behind, sometimes chasing and playing, sometimes stopping to play with the flowers and plants on the roadside. The tender voices of the children added a bit of vitality to this quiet night.

The Hao Mansion covers a vast area, with a total area of ​​150 acres, about 90,000 square meters, and a length and width of about 300 meters, like a small manor.

The palace is shaded by green trees and lush flowers and plants. A winding pedestrian track runs through it, dotted with exquisite street lights on both sides. The soft light shines on the plastic track, casting mottled light and shadows.

The mansion is surrounded by artificial lakes on three sides. The lake water shimmers in the moonlight. Occasionally, a few night birds fly over the water, stirring up ripples.

Not far away, the main building of the mansion was brightly lit, like a palace.

Outside the main building, Han Qingying's grandmother and Qiu Yuqing's mother were dancing in the square.

I don't know when they started doing this.

The mansion is so huge that it normally takes ten minutes to walk around it.

After Hao Qiang started walking, the two little guys saw him and quickly followed him on their short legs, shouting, "Stinky dad, wait for us!"

When the two of them were running close to each other, Hao Qiang quickened his pace, intentionally guiding the children to exercise.

After walking around twice, Hao Qiang returned to the hall to accompany the two youngest kids.

There are two daughters in the family. Sometimes, Hao Qiang wonders which of the two boys will marry them in the future.

Thinking of this, he felt a little sad.
