Chapter 658: The show can't be stopped
“…… The Benehans Group takes the initiative to assume its social responsibility, and we will continue to promote environmental protection and environmental governance. Strive to make your own contribution to humanity......"
Joshua Smith watched with interest during his lunch break as Link talked eloquently on NTV News. Seeing this, he turned off the mute on the TV, and then dialed a call: "Kent, have you watched today's NTV news?"
"Just seen it. "Nowadays, NTV news has become a program that many people like to watch. The story of this news report may not seem serious, but in fact all the comments are very objective and the angle of the report is different. People like Kent often watch it at noon, and as for other news, they usually watch it in the morning or evening. "You mean Link Hans?"
Joshua Smith laughed and said, "Don't you think it's funny what he does?"
"I don't think that's what you're trying to say!" Kent certainly wouldn't have thought that Joshua Smith had called him to make such a comment to Link Hans. "Do you think his actions helped him in his plans?"
"Don't you think so?"
Kent thought for a moment and said, "You're trying to say he's being transformed." ”
"I mean to say that his mindset is changing, or rather, I think his ambition is growing. But I don't think he's got there. But if it weren't for the fact that he himself felt that it was time for the action, I don't think he would have volunteered to attend such a ceremony. ”
"So you think he's pretty sure?"
Kent and Joshua Smith have worked together for more than 20 years, and the two sides have become very accommodating. Joshua Smith meant this, and he immediately understood what he was trying to say.
But Kent recalls that Link Hans did rarely appear on the news.
Businessmen are usually quite resistant to making appearances on the news, if not for their own benefit. Except for a few who like to be in the limelight. And Link Hans is clearly not one of those exceptions.
Link Hans has also appeared in the media on his own initiative, but usually to fight back against others. Other than that, Kent only remembered that Link had only been in the media a few times to promote himself or his plans.
It can be seen that Link Hans is not the kind of person who is willing to be in the limelight. Kent also didn't think that the commissioning of a small sewage treatment plant was worth Link-Hans's personal involvement. He thinks that Link should come forward to convey a message: "Benehans Group is a company that is willing to take the initiative to assume social responsibility." And not just to make money. ”
As a company, of course, it is necessary to establish such a proof image of publicity. The problem is, this project doesn't mean much to Link Hans. Kent felt that Link was creating an image to the public that the Benehans Group was not only doing it, but taking it seriously.
This is a highly active indoctrination.
What Joshua Smith means is that the Benehans Group may be preparing to cross a threshold forward. The Benihans Group is now a major player in the U.S. agricultural industry. What is the goal of continuing to break forward?
It is a giant in the American agricultural industry. Joshua Smith thinks so.
Smith believes that Link wants to make the Benehans Group an industry giant recognized by the American public, and this is an initiative rather than a natural change.
That means Link Hans thinks that the Benehans Group is ready for everything, and that those outsiders don't know about it.
Kent was silent for a moment, and then said, "Joshua, perhaps we should test his purpose first. Maybe he has hole cards that none of us can think of. ”
Joshua Smith laughed and said, "I think so, too." So, what new perspectives do you have on his project now?"
"If. Kent pondered for a moment before continuing. "I mean, if, he really got to that point. Are we cooperating or clinging to him?"
Joshua Smith asked without answering, "Then do you think we should fight against him or cooperate?"
"Confrontation will only make our competitors see good shows. ”
Joshua Smith laughed and said, "You're right, so we should probably take the initiative with them." Perhaps, we can take advantage of his momentum to cross a step. Only then will we be able to cooperate with him in the future. ”
He paused, put away his laughter, and said, "Don't forget, although we are in Seattle Ozette Development Bank in Fox, we are both in China[4] Shengton State, and if we don't cooperate now, we can only fight in the future." ”
"What if we use the power of others to suppress him now?"
"What's in it for us? Not at all. If we confront him head-on, the most we can do is force him to give in to our rivals, and what do we have to gain? Our competitors will never want to see us threaten them. And Link Hans won't give up his interests to us who are fighting against him. ”
"What if Link Hans can't tolerate us if he succeeds?"
"At that point, our role will be even greater. Our competitors won't want to see him swallow us. We can change gears and work with other people. Joshua Smith said with a smile. "Maybe we can have another serious conversation with Claire Hawke. ”
"I agree!"
…………
By this time, Link was already in South America.
In the slums of São Paulo, a huge building stands on the edge. In the plaza outside the newly opened building, a large number of staff members are providing registration activities for new residents.
Most of these check-in people are dragging the old and the young, and some even carry luggage that looks like garbage. As soon as they completed the simple grading process, they checked in with their families and luggage and asked them about the rental they had arranged.
They are the first residents of this newly opened Hanse low-rent apartment.
Link watched as registered residents entered the apartment complex as they were guided by staff in the low-rent community.
He was surrounded by dozens of reporters, but the reporters were temporarily videotaping the residents who were staying there, and no one interviewed him.
Link looked at it for a moment, then turned and walked over to a nursery in the neighborhood. Some reporters reacted and immediately got out of the way and followed.
A female reporter with an Argentine waist and hips rushed to his side, put her phone closer to him, and asked, "Mr. Hans, I see that the residents who are now living in the neighborhood are poor. We all know that the low-rent apartments you set up in the U.S. provide free training and employment opportunities for residents. Can the residents of this apartment get that kind of benefits?"
Link glanced at the woman who could have been a model but had to be a reporter, and said with a smile: "I can't answer you with this proposal." If we have the conditions, we will certainly do our best to create jobs for these residents. However, it is the government's obligation to provide benefits such as employment. So, employment and training, we can only say that it is arranged as much as possible. ”
As he walked, he continued: "The largest low-rent apartment I have set up in the United States can only accommodate 1,500 residents, and there are only nine low-rent apartments in the United States so far. But here it is home to 3,000 households. And, my Hans Foundation plans to open at least a dozen apartments of the same size in Brazil within two years. Committing jobs to so many people is an unbearable pressure for any business or individual. ”
The interior area of the apartments in this low-rent apartment is larger than in the United States, and the number of buildings is also larger. There are several times more activity space, and there are many ancillary facilities.
Pointing to the nursery and elementary school in front of us, Link said, "We are willing to provide some free services for the residents here, so that they can have more energy to study and find jobs." Of course, the Hans Fund and the Beni Hans Group would like to have a good relationship, and if the Beni Hans company needs employees, it will give priority to recruiting from the residents of the apartments. At the same time, we will actively liaise with other companies to provide as many employment opportunities as possible for our tenants. This requires residents to have certain job skills, and we will provide some necessary training and employment guidance. ”
This low-rent apartment was the first of its kind outside of North America, and Link himself presided over its opening, not to receive the grateful gaze of the poor.
He's just here for show.
Pointing to the tall buildings around him, he said, "We can't promise too much to these tenants right now. However, we are now at least getting them to move into their new, more comfortable home than before Christmas. ”
"Move into a new home before Christmas" has become a quote from these journalists, and some have even used it directly in the headline.
