Qing Shan Qu Zui
Chapter 1506 When Working for President Pei, Caution is Paramount
Li Shi's words left everyone dumbfounded.
A declaration before the war?
How could it sound so absurd?
But following President Li's logic, it suddenly felt very smooth and even made a lot of sense.
Anything that Boss Pei valued so much in terms of confidentiality was definitely no small matter.
If the "Chu Ji Plan" was merely seen as a charitable activity, there would be no need to go to such lengths.
But what if, as President Li said, Tenda wanted to formally declare war on the domestic internet giants and companies with monopolies in the market, and the "Chu Ji Plan" was just a preliminary preparation?
If Tenda were to fully declare war on these large companies, it would have to be wary of them uniting.
In other words, it was highly likely that these large companies would unite.
Then, when Tenda, as a single company, faced such powerful enemies, even with Boss Pei's wisdom and skill, it would probably be very difficult.
As the saying goes, don't fight a battle you're not sure of winning; before the war, you must first identify who are the enemies and who are the allies.
Rushing in recklessly without knowing anything would be foolish, and Boss Pei would obviously not make such a low-level mistake.
Thinking about it this way...
The "Chu Ji Plan" was a plan to win over allies!
Because this plan could actually have a very comprehensive screening effect on Tenda's staunch allies.
First of all, the Chu Ji Plan was a charitable plan, and the participating companies must have a certain sense of social responsibility.
Secondly, the Chu Ji Plan had no clear return, only Tenda's verbal promise, so the participating companies must have a high degree of trust in Tenda and resolutely follow it.
Finally, because of the confidentiality of the Chu Ji Plan, the order in which these companies joined the Chu Ji Plan could roughly reflect their close relationship with Tenda.
Because the closer the relationship, the more likely they were to receive the news and join early.
Considering the above three points, any company that joined the Chu Ji Plan could be regarded as Tenda's ally, and according to the order in which they joined and the amount of their investment, the levels of allies could be roughly distinguished.
An investor raised a question: "But, President Li, if it's just to seek allies, with Boss Pei's reputation, wouldn't it be enough to just raise his arms and call for support?"
Li Shi shook his head: "Of course not!"
"If you raise your arms and call for support, how do you know whether you're attracting sincere and staunch allies, or just people who are there to freeload? Or... moles?"
"Once this matter spreads, those big factories will definitely be alarmed and try everything possible to interfere."
"Conversely, the current approach is hidden and efficient."
"Except for companies that have a close relationship with Tenda, no one will get the news; even if they do, they will only think that this is just an ordinary charitable activity; even if they hear my analysis, they won't believe it."
"Because only companies that deeply believe in Tenda and Boss Pei will respond to this."
The more everyone listened, the more reasonable it sounded.
This was a very perfect screening mechanism!
It was done without anyone knowing, and the screened companies were all trustworthy.
Of course, was it possible that President Li was just guessing and there was no such thing at all?
There was still a certain possibility.
But even if he guessed wrong, what would happen? It was just a donation for charity, there was no loss!
If he guessed right, the benefits would be great!
Tenda's declaration of war on those large companies would inevitably lead to seizing the vast market and resources from those large companies, and Tenda couldn't possibly eat all of these things by itself.
Even if it could, with Boss Pei's generous personality, he wouldn't mind sharing some soup with everyone.
When had anyone ever suffered a loss by following Tenda?
So, for the bosses present, how to choose was not a question at all.
Only a fool wouldn't do something with low risk and high return!
Zhou Muyan was the first to express his position: "Skyfire Studio wants to join the 'Chu Ji Plan'!"
Other investors also said: "We'll join too!"
Soon, agreements were signed.
The agreements did not make any requirements for the amount of charitable donations, it could be as much or as little as they wanted, but for these bosses, was it about the money?
It was about face, it was about the impression they made on Boss Pei!
Of course, some people had donated before, hundreds of thousands or millions, but when it came to Boss Pei, they definitely had to show more sincerity.
Otherwise, it wouldn't sound good if they donated less to Boss Pei than they usually did, would it?
After each person signed the agreement and made their donation, Li Shi took out his mobile phone, opened the Chu Ji Plan App, and said to everyone, "You can scan the QR code to download this App. The Chu Ji Plan cannot be found online, and there is no official website to download the App. You can only download it by sharing and scanning the QR code, and you must donate before you can get the registration code."
"On this App, you can view the amount of donations from companies or individuals in real time, and you can also see where your donations are going."
"All donations will have a fixed percentage deducted as the platform's operating expenses, but the deduction ratio is very low, and the detailed amount of various operating expenses can also be queried."
"However, this App is, after all, the initial version of the App, and many functions are still being continuously improved."
Everyone also took out their mobile phones and scanned the QR code to download the App.
Zhou Muyan sighed: "This App is quite something! Every transaction is clearly recorded, and you can freely check the flow of personal funds. Boss Pei is really meticulous in his work."
According to Li Shi's introduction, this App deducted operating expenses proportionally. After all, the destination of all funds could be checked. If someone found that all the money they donated was used for operating expenses, it might seem a little strange.
It wouldn't be emotionally acceptable.
Now, the deduction was done proportionally, with a specific portion of each donation being used as a service fee, which was equivalent to sharing the costs.
The platform's operating expenses could be seen, and the portion of the donation that was actually used for charity could also be seen. For the people who donated, this was undoubtedly a very considerate design.
Zhou Muyan said curiously: "Oh? There's also a channel for individual donations? What's the maximum individual donation?"
"Hmm? Who exactly is this 'Boss Pei's Disciple'? With just an individual donation, he directly donated two million?"
There was a donation leaderboard on the Chu Ji Plan App, and the information on this leaderboard could be real or anonymous.
On the company leaderboard, it was quite common for companies to donate several million, after all, bosses of large companies like Li Shi and Zhou Muyan were very wealthy, and it was not surprising that they donated a few million to support Boss Pei's charitable cause.
But on the individual leaderboard, both the number and the amount of donations were relatively small.
After all, there was a threshold for donating to the Chu Ji Plan.
First of all, you must have a close relationship with Tenda to know about this news; secondly, you must be a wealthy company to donate a relatively large amount.
This greatly increased the difficulty for individuals to participate in the Chu Ji Plan.
Even a wealthy second-generation like Xue Zhebing, who had several companies under his name, would definitely be inclined to donate to Tenda in the name of the company, after all, companies that donated would receive Tenda's verbal promise and priority cooperation!
Individual donations were definitely not as good.
Most of the people who could get internal news and afford to donate large amounts were company bosses. No matter how hard white-collar workers tried, it would be difficult for them to have so much money to donate.
Therefore, the number of people in the individual donation column was very small, and basically, they were donating a few hundred or a few thousand yuan to show their support. Zhou Muyan had reason to suspect that these might be internal employees of the Chu Ji Plan, or people related to the Chu Ji Plan, who were supporting this charitable activity by donating money in person.
Only one anonymous person named "Boss Pei's Disciple" actually donated two million in his individual capacity, far ahead of everyone else on the individual donation list!
This made people very curious, who exactly was this person who claimed to be "Boss Pei's Disciple"?
It must be someone close to Boss Pei.
But... was there a need to be so humble? What would happen if he wrote his name out in the open?
An investor speculated: "Is this possibly... a hidden move by Boss Pei? For some reason, it's inconvenient to reveal his identity, and even in this highly confidential App, he can't expose himself for the sake of safety?"
"A hidden move, donating 2 million in an individual capacity, there are only two possibilities."
"Either, this person has very great energy, his ability far exceeds 2 million, and he's only donating a small portion;"
"Or, this person has extremely lofty ideals, or has unwavering faith in Boss Pei, doesn't earn much, but resolutely donates everything."
"Whichever it is, this person is very scary and should not be underestimated..."
Just a glimpse of the Chu Ji Plan was enough to see that Boss Pei's power was far more than just what was on the surface. There were many hidden moves under the surface, which might come into play at some point in the future.
It was simply terrifying!
Even these allies who were very close couldn't figure out Boss Pei's true power, let alone his enemies?
Just thinking about being enemies with an opponent like Boss Pei made people feel scared!

Tuesday, March 5th.
Back in Jingzhou, Meng Chang felt great.
It seemed that he had once again experienced the feeling of being a powerful figure when he first started his business!
This time, he followed the private team to negotiate with the Dyaak Group. Although the negotiation process was mainly handled by Eric and Assistant Xin, and Meng Chang and He Desheng mainly provided strategic analysis and support, for Meng Chang, this trip was indeed a great help to him.
Of course, shorting the shares of Finger Company also allowed him to profit again.
So, he took out a portion of his accumulated profits and entrusted Fan Xiaodong to invest in the Chu Ji Plan in his individual name.
He didn't use his real name, but donated anonymously, and created a new ID called "Boss Pei's Disciple."
Meng Chang had actually considered whether to use his real name, or the ID "Young Master Tian."
After thinking about it, he gave up.
Neither was suitable!
Because although the "Chu Ji Plan" was a confidential plan, it would gradually grow and develop in the future, and more and more companies and individuals would join it, and there would eventually be a risk of leakage.
Boss Pei certainly knew everything, but outsiders might not.
When the time came, everyone would see that Meng Chang, a person subject to enforcement, had so much money to donate? Was he taking advantage of his work at Tenda to earn extra money?
Or, wasn't Young Master Tian supposed to have nothing to do with Tenda? Why was he donating a large sum of money to Tenda's Chu Ji Plan? Was there something fishy going on behind it?
Once these things were exposed, they would not be helpful, but would have great side effects and cause trouble.
Therefore, Meng Chang neither used his real name nor the ID Young Master Tian, but very humbly called himself a Tenda disciple and donated in that capacity.
Moreover, this donation was made by Fan Xiaodong, so he wasn't worried about being exposed as "Boss Pei's Disciple is Meng Chang."
When working for Boss Pei, caution was paramount, and he couldn't cause trouble for Boss Pei!
