There are many entrepreneurs who want to join the Golden Bull Club, but the constitution of the Golden Bull Club has been revised last year: a maximum of three new members are recruited every year, and they need to be recommended by more than three old members, and 90% of the old members vote for approval.

Facts have proved that 90% of those who take the initiative to join the Taurus Club are not very reliable, and most of them are engaged in finance and real estate. Real industrialists are busy with business, the bigger the enterprise, the more things to do, how can there be leisure to run around and form gangs?

Li Sufu recommended one this year, and also called Song Weiyang and Song Qizhi, hoping to get a joint recommendation from the Song brothers.

Song Weiyang immediately agreed, and then called the other members. As soon as everyone heard the name of this person, they didn't need to have a meeting to vote at all, and passed it directly on the phone - Cao Dewang!

Cao Dewang didn't want to join any club, but was forced over by Li Sufu. The two belong to normal business dealings, Li Sufu's main business is making cars, and Cao Dewang's main business is making car glass. As early as more than 10 years ago, it was Cao Dewang who rewrote the history of China's 100% dependence on imports of automotive glass, and drove Japanese benzene car glass out of the Chinese market in a few years.

Mountain City, Yuzhou Hotel.

"Everyone applauds and welcomes, there are new friends again!" Song Weiyang led the crowd to a standing ovation.

Since it was a private occasion and did not talk about any work topics, Cao Dewang was dressed as a layman today, and a string of Buddhist beads was hung on his wrist. He smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, raised his hand and said, "Don't be like this, don't be like this, everyone please sit down, thank you friends for your love." ”

"Boss Cao, don't be modest, when it comes to doing business, you are the senior of all of us. Liu Yonghang said with a smile.

Cao Dewang said: "I'm just a few years older than everyone else, it's not a big deal. ”

Cao Dewang is in his 50s, and in the 60s, he followed his father to resell tobacco, then wholesale fruits, and by 1975, he had accumulated a huge sum of 50,000 yuan. You read that right, it was indeed 1975, when there was still a movement, and if you were caught, you could be shot directly.

In 1985, Cao Dewang introduced equipment, collected talents, and successfully developed special glass for automobiles. Its cost was less than 200 yuan, and the price was 2,000 yuan, which was much cheaper than Japanese benzene goods.

Not long ago, Cao Dewang bought out all the foreign shares of his joint venture and forced the French group Saint-Gobain to ban the Chinese market for five years. In a few years, Cao Dewang will become the first Chinese to sue the US Department of Commerce and win, winning two anti-dumping cases in the United States and Canada. Subsequently, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce visited China and met with Cao Dewang by name to personally negotiate a solution.

Years later, 70% of the cars produced in China use Cao Dewang's glass, and at the same time, it has cooperated with eight major foreign automobile manufacturers to become the world's second largest automotive glass supplier.

This person claims to have never bribed and "never even sent a box of mooncakes". He is also a devout Buddhist and keen on philanthropy, with a cumulative personal donation of more than 8 billion yuan by 2018.

Of course, Cao Dewang was also "criticized" by the Chinese people, and later invested 1 billion US dollars to build a factory in the United States, and the media exclaimed that "Cao Dewang is going to run away"!

Cao Dewang did not defend too much about this, and told the reporter very realistically: "To build a factory in China, the cost of land is 9 times that of the United States, the cost of logistics is 2 times that of the United States, the cost of bank borrowing is 2.4 times that of the United States, the cost of natural gas and electricity is 2 times that of the United States, the cost of steam is 1.1 times that of the United States, the cost of accessories is 3.2 times that of the United States, the depreciation cost is 1.7 times that of the United States, the tax cost is inconvenient to calculate, and there is no need to pay the cost of import and export customs clearance in the United States." China has only two advantages, one is low labor costs, and the other is low plant construction costs. ”

……

Chen Tao saw that Cao Dewang was dressed as a layman, and there were Buddhist beads on his wrists, so he couldn't help asking: "Is Mr. Cao taboo meat?" Or will I let the hotel change your vegetarian food?"

"No need," Cao Dewang waved his hand and said, "Although I believe in Buddhism, I don't burn incense or eat vegetarian, so it can be said that there are no taboos." ”

Duan Yongping said with a smile: "You, the Buddha, believe a little chic. Just like Jigong said in the TV series: Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart. ”

Cao Dewang said: "Where can I compare with Jigong, he is a living Buddha in the world, and I am just a living being." But to believe in Buddhism, one is to be pious in one's heart, and the other is to do more good deeds. If you say that you believe in Buddhism, you will enter the temple when you see it, and worship it when you see the Buddha, but as a result, you will be a man and a prostitute, then this belief in Buddhism will be in vain, and you will just deceive yourself. ”

"Well said," Song Weiyang smiled and raised his glass, "Wine is not taboo, right?"

Cao Dewang said: "It's not taboo, but I don't drink much." ”

Song Weiyang said: "Then I will give Boss Cao a glass and officially welcome you to join the small group of the Golden Bull Club." ”

"Well said, well said. Cao Dewang drank it all.

"Speaking of charity, there is now a foundation on AIDS,...... Song Weiyang briefly described the current situation of AIDS in rural China, "Boss Cao can also donate some if he wants." ”

Cao Dewang was surprised: "There are actually AIDS villages in China?"

Song Weiyang said: "Yes, the whole village is infected with AIDS, and it is all caused by selling blood, and the local people are too poor. In particular, AIDS orphans, who are healthy themselves, are left alone by their parents' illnesses and ostracized by their local schools. I donated some money last year to build a school with the Youth Fund of the League, and it will officially open in September this year. In addition, I have nominally adopted a number of AIDS orphans and will be responsible for their future school fees. Boss Cao can also adopt some, the money is not much, and it doesn't need to spend energy, and the charity fund is responsible for helping you deal with it. ”

"You have to donate some money, Amitabha. Cao Dewang sighed and said.

The rest of the Taurus Club had known about this for a long time, and they also had a part in the charity school, and they didn't say anything now.

Zhang Xuanlong, who lives in Hong Kong City all the year round, has a better understanding of charity, and said: "Why don't we also set up a charity fund and donate a little bit every year, and the name is 'Golden Bull Charity Association'." ”

Liu Yonghao seconded: "This is a good idea. ”

"Yes, I support it. Cao Dewang said.

Cao Dewang is keen on charity, not only because he believes in Buddhism, but also because of his family factors. His father was a shareholder of the "Yongan Department Store" in Lao Sheng Beach, but his family moved due to the war and became destitute.

For a while, didn't Guo Meimei make the Red Cross stink? Look at what Cao Dewang said to reporters at that time: "When my father taught me to do business before, he thought that when you have done (business) for this generation and want to continue to be the second or third generation, you have to learn to do charity. Because when the contradiction between the rich and the poor is very deep, you will have no business to do when there is chaos. Therefore, while you do your own business, you should pay attention to the social development around you, which is a strategic issue for entrepreneurs...... Not only the Red Cross of the Chinese, but also the United States a hundred years ago, when those entrepreneurs did charity, they were also questioned by the American people and government. This shows that we are still in the initial stage of economic development, which is inevitable, and some people question how good we do. Of course, first of all, the government should review, follow up with legislation, and enforce the law very rigorously to bring those black sheep to justice. Kill the two of them, and the back will stabilize. ”

Cai Zhiping asked: "Can Chinese private individuals run charitable funds?"

"It should be possible, but the procedure is complicated, and it has to be controlled by the relevant departments, and the funds cannot be used arbitrarily," Cao said. ”

Zhang Xuanlong said: "We can set up a charitable foundation in Hong Kong City, and only set up an office on the mainland. ”

Song Weiyang said: "Even so, we must cooperate with the Red Cross and Project Hope. It's better to be like this, I have a good relationship with the Youth Development Foundation, and the Hope Project is what they do, and it is directly supervised by the Central Committee of the Youth League. Our charity will be directly affiliated with the CYDF, and the charity funds can be handed over to the CYDF for management and give them a management fee, but the control of the charity funds is ours. When doing charity, you can also cooperate with the Youth Foundation, they have energy all over the country. ”

Cao Dewang nodded and said, "That's a good idea. ”

"That's it, cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank bitterly.
