2008 can be said to be a very special year, but it can also be said to be a year of many disasters.

Needless to say, the subprime mortgage crisis, which is intensifying in the international market.

On January 22, 2008, the Fed cut interest rates by an emergency 75 basis points to 3.50%, the largest rate cut since the 1980s.

On January 24, 2008, the New York Insurance Regulator sought to provide $15 billion in financial assistance to bond insurers.

On January 30, 2008, just over a week later, the Fed cut interest rates by another 50 basis points.

……

All kinds of actions have filled the economic and financial market with a tense atmosphere.

At the same time, in the southern part of the Celestial Empire, a continuous bloody plague also came suddenly.

Icy roads, and cars stuck on the road.

On January 30, 2008, the traditional Lunar New Year in the north, many southerners drifting north were destined to spend only on the train.

On the road to home, the weather is cold, it is difficult to find a ticket, there is a lack of water and electricity, and climbing mountains and wading have become the deepest memories.

Due to the advent of the glorious mobile phone, the popularity of smart phones in the Celestial Empire has suddenly increased by at least two or three years.

Although Gphone is still a relatively expensive luxury item for most people in the Celestial Empire, the sales volume of each and hundreds of thousands still ensures that there is a certain market share in China.

In the midst of this snow disaster, many people updated their own news in real time on their glorious Weibo through Gphone, so that the scene of the snow disaster was transmitted to the whole network as soon as possible.

Along the way, the special scenery of thousands of miles of ice, the cars on the road were frozen, and there were bold drivers who drove out hard, but the car was uncontrollable on the smooth ice, and the car drove into the river and the ditch.

In some cities in the south, even if there is no ice on the road, many cars are trapped in the snow, and the passengers on the bus have to get out of the car and pull the car together in the ice and snow.

People who were trapped on the road and walked home on foot with large bags and small bags on their backs.

"Walk home too!"

Many people left their trapped cars halfway through and walked for hours in the snow and ice to get home.

Due to the severe snowstorm, power line towers in many places collapsed due to the heavy ice, causing the power supply system to be paralyzed.

A group of shocking and touching pictures are spreading rapidly through Guanghui Weibo.

"Looking for the most beautiful ta", Guanghui Weibo also launched its own Weibo activity in accordance with the situation.

"This snow disaster will definitely cause trouble for many people, but there will also be many pictures and people full of positive energy, and I hope that our Guanghui Weibo can spread this positive energy, on the one hand, to help the government calm the emotions of the affected people, and on the other hand, to play our role as the main door of the Internet media", Jiang Hui, who is also in the UK, is holding a video conference with a group of high-level officials of Guanghui Weibo.

According to Lu Yang's proposal, Guanghui Weibo originally wanted to directly donate 100 million yuan as support for the snow disaster.

But as a person who has come over, Jiang Hui has always been indifferent to this kind of donation that has no accurate use.

It's not that Jiang Hui is reluctant to use this 100 million, but he doesn't know where this 100 million will be used.

Jiang Hui didn't want the money to be taken to live in a big villa and drive a Maserati!

According to Jiang Hui's idea, Korn Ferry Group is ready to set up its own charity fund in the future and do charity himself.

For this reason, Jiang Hui is willing to throw hundreds of millions into this fund every year at the beginning, and slowly billions, or even tens of billions.

If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world.

The higher he stands, the more Jiang Hui can appreciate this concept.

To be honest, what the current Celestial Empire needs more is not hundreds of millions of donations from enterprises, but hopes not to make trouble.

At this time, Guanghui Weibo, as the website with the largest traffic in the country, is a website that netizens must visit every year, and it becomes extremely important to publish some positive information.

In addition, the word "positive energy" was originally pioneered by Jiang Hui, so it is natural to carry it forward.

"Mr. Jiang, can it be like this, we Guanghui Weibo and Guanghui Film and Television work together to go to the affected areas to shoot a picture, make a micro video, and broadcast it on Guanghui Weibo, school intranet, Tudou and other places to promote positive energy more intuitively?", inspired by Jiang Hui, Lu Yang has a new proposal.

As Jiang Hui's roommate and one of the first employees to join the Korn Ferry Group, although Lu Yang is still very young this year like Jiang Hui, he has slowly been able to adapt to his role.

"This proposal is very good, you can go and discuss it with several other companies and act immediately", Jiang Hui gave a positive opinion.

As a company, social image is a seemingly unimportant, but very important thing.

If you are a small company, then it doesn't matter if the social image is not imaged.

If you are a large company, if you are a monopoly such as petrochemical industry, it seems that the social image will not have any impact on the operation of the company.

Anyway, in addition to buying my things, you still buy mine.

However, if it is a young, large, and private enterprise like Korn Ferry Group, the social image is very important.

I don't want everyone to think how noble you are, after all, a business is an enterprise, and it is for the purpose of making money.

But at least don't make people feel like you're an impersonal, cold-blooded business.

In later generations, many companies did some inappropriate things in various stages of disaster, causing great damage to their image, which Jiang Hui did not want to see.

Just when the whole people were concerned about the snow disaster in the south, Guanghui Auto and Jaguar Land Rover officially signed a joint venture agreement in London, England in a low-key manner.

Under the agreement, the two companies will jointly establish a joint venture with a joint venture of 80% (Guanghui Auto) and 20% (Jaguar Land Rover) respectively to develop, manufacture, sell and provide after-sales services for sedans and SUVs.

The most critical things are often not seen literally.

This joint venture agreement is no exception.

The newly established company was not named "Korn Jaguar Land Rover Motors Co., Ltd.", but directly set up as "Jaguar Land Rover Asia Pacific Automotive Co., Ltd.", and all personnel appointments of the company, except for the head of the finance department and a vice president in charge of production, were all decided by Tejr Automobile.

Jaguar Land Rover just needs to lie down and collect the money.

Well, in the eyes of the directors of Jaguar Land Rover, this joint venture is like this.

This is Jaguar Land Rover's first and perhaps final joint venture.

Because in the future, Jaguar Land Rover's affairs are basically decided by this joint venture.

The first thing that the newly established company promoted was the localization of Land Rover SUV models, and the first choice was Land Rover Evoque.
