Chapter 541

After Yang Qing saw Zhang Guangdou off, he thought a lot.

To be honest, domestic officials lack even basic checks and balances, so businessmen feel very insecure.

Even if they had invested in the past, how many would truly stay?

Many people just make money and then move abroad to enjoy it.

Professor Lu said the amount transferred was tens of trillions, but in fact that's probably an understatement.

Think about later generations: just seeing how many people emigrate shows that emigration has a threshold, especially investment immigration, which requires a lot of asset proof.

Even if one doesn't emigrate oneself, one will let one's children emigrate, using this method to avoid risk.

Some people who spoke the truth ended up not daring to go home.

Such power—is it really needed?

Now letting him fully turn toward the domestic market, he doesn't dare either.

Once the money lands, his financial security depends entirely on others' conscience.

Even if they debase themselves to attract funds, the domineering heart of 'only I am supreme' inside them will not change at all.

Today's merchants are to officials as Arab countries are to Yingjiang.

They are all reflections of hegemony.

Yang Qing shook his head, facing such a colossus, to be honest, Yang Qing had no way at all.

Wanting to make a contribution to this country and nation is actually quite difficult.

Moreover, he isn't some patriotic businessman with an immunity medal.

Li Changjiang also ran away, didn't he?

Could he not see the opportunities domestically?

After all, it's just fear.

Think of the prince's milk.

It's really frightening.

However, there is no absolutely safe place in this world.

Other places aren't any different—they're still subject to being harvested.

So it's dangerous and difficult, but Yang Qing also wants to focus his efforts domestically.

Rather than let others profit cheaply, it's better to let the meat rot domestically.

However, for investment, one should add more foreign shells; for international influence, some people won't go overboard.

(What I want to say here is, why do so many domestic companies put on offshore shells? This is the key reason—everything has its cause.)

This matter requires the group office to study in advance.

Yang Qing gave Hu Lianxi a phone call.

Hu Lianxi came over quickly.

Yang Qing had no small talk; he really had no time or energy for these formalities, so he spoke directly.

"The domestic market is now planning to open up; we need to make preparations in advance."

"In the group office, set up a mainland research team to specifically provide future mainland business services for us."

"Also, at Qingyun Business Consulting Company, establish domestic investment services; you must provide investment protection services for our clients."

"However, I have one condition you must remember."

"Those who cooperate with our Qingyun Business Consulting Company to enter the mainland market."

"They must be sincere and down-to-earth in integrating into the domestic market."

"Those who just want to make money from the domestic market should avoid deep cooperation and only do limited guidance."

"For enterprises entering through us, we must safeguard workers' rights and not turn them into sweatshops."

Hu Lianxi noted down Yang Qing's requirements, furrowing his brow.

"Manager Yang, if we do that, we'll take on too much and lose many customers."

"I'm a company—do we really need to be this conscientious?"

"If we're held back by conscience, we'll be surpassed by others, which is unfavorable for our company's development."

Hu Lianxi is quite right: conscience is a burden in brutal business competition.

It can even be fatal.

But they are different.

"Manager Hu, if you merely regard our Qingyun Business Consulting Company as just a company, then what you say is correct."

"But is it merely a company?"

"We have penetrated every aspect of politics, economics, and people's livelihood."

"Qingyun Business Consulting Company not only has the support of the Yang Clan Group, Harmony Record Group, and Harmony Group, but also the backing of the entire Jingmen Club and the entire Jingmen, and will unite countless people in the future."

"We are not rootless drifters who can only fight with our lives; we are organized."

"In the future, those who don't disdain our conscience will also become our partners."

We don't need to fight; we just need to find the little partners we need, then help them grow—conscience can let us go further.

Otherwise, we have offended the governor and Shen Bi so badly; why haven't they moved against us?

Jingmen now has nearly 100,000 people, relying on Jingmen's restaurants, eateries, car washes, parking…… some basic service work, plus Honghai Precision Engineering etc., radiating the lives of 500,000 people.

Harmony Record and Harmony combined support the lives of nearly 300,000 people, and can radiate to a million people.

The bosses of Jingmen Club also support nearly 200,000 people, radiating to 700,000 people with no problem.

Roughly calculated, we control the lives of nearly half of Gangdao's people.

Even a detailed calculation also has 1.5 million people.

Managing so many people, reputation is important, conscience is even more important.

Because if we do it poorly, any regime in the world will fear us like a tiger.

Only conscience can change this situation, enhancing our own people-friendly attributes.

General Manager Hu, do you understand my meaning? To wear a crown must bear its weight.

Money, power, and responsibility are equal.

The more we have, the more we must give.

This is society's rule; not following this rule, we will inevitably face backlash in the future.

Hu Lianxi, although he cannot fully understand Yang Qing's words, Director Yang's words are quite reasonable.

This may be the highest realm of management, approaching the Dao.

The Way of the Confucian Merchant.

The Way of Benefiting All Beings.

To annex Harmony Record and Harmony, General Manager Yang managed for nearly ten years.

Unknowingly, it decided the life and death of the two foreign firms.

This is the way of silent, subtle calculation.

"Director Yang, I understand some of it; I will strive in this direction."

"This is far more interesting than merely pursuing company profits."

Yang Qing nodded.

He again focused his efforts on management.

"The group office will establish a management research office."

"Half will be selected from each company's management to serve, and half will recruit researchers."

"Our companies' management is still too crude, and various malicious management incidents keep occurring."

"For example, corruption, unspoken rules, extortion, employees lacking a sense of belonging, management only focuses on efficiency while neglecting people's hearts."

"Management should develop toward promoting the company's soundness and positivity."

"We should try to balance the interests of all parties."

"We must neither dishearten those who work diligently, nor encourage their greed."

"Moreover, we must be able to retain talent, at least those willing to follow us in development."

"And those who are ambitious, love to stir people's hearts, and are full of negative energy must also be screened out and made to leave our company."

"We need eels, but we cannot have troublemakers."

"Only in this way can we go further; I call it internal strength."

"This is an effective means to prevent us from collapsing from within due to our own causes."
