Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

Two days later,

At nine o'clock in the morning on November 20, the sun was shining brightly in Yuecheng, and the autumn atmosphere was in full swing.

The black ES8 that Hao Qiang was riding in slowly drove into the venue of the 2012 Guangdong Businessmen Conference.

As the world's richest man and the richest man in Guangdong Province, his arrival undoubtedly added more attention and expectations to this event.

The Guangdong Businessmen Conference, an important business event hosted by the Guangdong Provincial Government, aims to promote cooperation among Guangdong businessmen, promote economic development, and explore new opportunities for Guangdong businessmen in globalization and regional economy.

If Hao Qiang is missing from such an occasion, it would seem like there is a lack of brightness and weight.

This year, more than 700 Guangdong businessmen participated.

Most of the richest bosses in the province gathered at this conference.

Last year's Guangdong Businessmen Conference was themed "Innovative Guangdong Businessmen, Win-Win Future", focusing on enterprise transformation and upgrading.

This year, we go a step further and set the theme as "New Opportunities for Guangdong Businessmen, New Development in Cooperation", focusing on exploring the prospects for cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

As the car door opened, Hao Qiang, wearing a well-tailored blue suit, walked out of the car calmly.

His appearance instantly ignited the atmosphere at the scene. Media reporters who had been waiting for a long time swarmed over, with cameras and flashes aimed at him, as if to freeze this moment.

"Mr. Hao, congratulations on being the world's richest man again! Can you share your feelings?"

"Mr. Hao, there are rumors that you have secretly married but have not obtained a marriage certificate. Is this true?"

"Boss Hao, what are your requirements for your significant other? Do you have any female celebrities you particularly admire?"

……

The questions came like a tide, sharp and direct.

However, Hao Qiang just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

He did not stop and did not answer any questions. He just waved his hand gently and said hello, as if the above questions had nothing to do with him.

Escorted by a dozen bodyguards, he walked straight through the crowd and towards the venue door, leaving behind a group of reporters asking questions frantically and countless unsolved mysteries.

As a legend in the business world, Hao Qiang's every move touches the hearts of countless people.

But he seldom participates in interviews, and media reporters are rarely able to catch him.

As Hao Qiang walked into the venue, he was greeted by a busy and orderly scene.

The venue was brightly lit and bustling with people, with elites from all walks of life gathered together.

He glanced around and saw many familiar faces.

Provincial government leaders Liu Haiyang, Luo Jianguo and others were standing not far away, talking in low voices with several entrepreneurs.

As the organizer, important leaders of the provincial government and relevant leaders in charge of economy, science and technology, and trade naturally arrived early and worked hard for the smooth convening of the conference.

In addition to government leaders, many well-known entrepreneurs have also arrived at the venue.

They gathered in twos and threes, some discussing in low voices, some laughing heartily, and the atmosphere was both formal and relaxed.

Just then, Ma Huateng noticed Hao Qiang's arrival.

He showed a gentle smile on his face, walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Hao Qiang, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Mr. Hao, I thought you were not coming."

Hao Qiang smiled slightly, shook Ma Huateng's hand, and responded, "Of course I have to come to such an important event. I can't miss it."

Ma Huateng moved closer and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to give a speech this year?"

Hao Qiang nodded and smiled helplessly: "Yeah, I was forced to go on stage, haha. You know, in this kind of occasion, you always have to say a few words."

Hearing this, Ma Huateng's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he said with a smile: "I also want to hear about your business experience.

I think countless bosses here would like to listen to it.

If you don't come on stage, this conference will be less colorful."

Hao Qiang waved his hand and said modestly: "I'm just luckier. You are my seniors and have much more experience than me."

Ma Huateng couldn't help laughing after hearing this and said jokingly, "Come on, I don't believe anyone will believe you."

The two smiled at each other, the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

Among the crowd around, many Guangdong businessmen had already noticed Hao Qiang's arrival.

As the world's richest man, his appearance always attracts countless attention.

Soon, several influential figures in the business world came forward to greet him.

Meidi's founder, Mr. He, walked over first, a warm smile on his face. He extended his hand and shook Hao Qiang's. "Mr. Hao, I've heard a lot about you!"

Hao Qiang smiled slightly and politely responded, "Boss He, you're welcome. Meidi's recent development momentum is truly enviable."

Soon after, Ms. Dong from Geli came over and said to Hao Qiang with a smile, "Mr. Hao, long time no see. You still look so young. I'm so envious!"

Hao Qiang smiled and said, "Boss Dong, you are young too."

Wang Lei from Yike and Boss Li from TLC also came forward and exchanged a few words with Hao Qiang.

Their attitude was respectful and enthusiastic, and they were full of respect for Hao Qiang.

There's no way. After all, Hao Qiang is the richest man in the world, with a wealth of trillions of yuan and enviable cash flow. If you need help one day, it's better to go to him than to the bank.

Those Cantonese businessmen who were less prominent in the business world stood far away, and some were too embarrassed to step forward and shake hands.

They just looked at Hao Qiang with envy, as if it was an honor to be in the same venue with him.

At this moment, Hao Qiang's father-in-law Qiu Hai also came over to say hello.

In recent years, Qiu Hai's wealth has grown rapidly and has now reached 25 billion yuan, ranking among the top 500 richest people in China.

Of course, all this is inseparable from Hao Qiang’s orders and financial support.

However, in terms of wealth, Qiu Hai is not as rich as his daughter Qiu Yuqing.

Qiu Yuqing not only holds 10 million shares of Tengxun, but also owns 40% of Luoye Zhiqiu's shares.

Hao Qiang used 30 billion yuan to acquire Shanda Literature and integrated it into Luoye Zhiqiu, and subsequently invested an additional 10 billion yuan.

Today, the number of users of Luoye Zhiqiu’s core platform, Toutiao, has exceeded 1 million, making it a leader in the industry.

More importantly, the company has achieved remarkable results in the research and development of big data engines, laying a solid foundation for the future development of short videos.

After a brief greeting, Hao Qiang and Ma Huateng walked side by side to the center of the venue and greeted other people.

Today, in addition to government officials and Guangdong businessmen, there are also economists and industry experts, representatives from Hong Kong and Macao, and media invited by the government.

Half an hour later, it was ten o'clock in the morning and the conference officially began. Participants took their seats according to their names.

The provincial government chairman presided over the opening ceremony, and several important government leaders attended the opening ceremony and delivered speeches.

In his speech, Huang Ming, a senior leader of the provincial government, extended a warm welcome to the leaders and guests present on behalf of the provincial government, extended sincere greetings to the Guangdong business representatives and Guangdong businessmen from all over the world who came to attend the conference, and expressed heartfelt thanks to friends from all walks of life who have long been concerned about and supported the reform and development of Guangdong Province.

He said: "Since ancient times, generations of Guangdong businessmen have been daring, adventurous and pioneering. They have invested and started businesses in the land of South Guangdong, worked hard and struggled in the embrace of the motherland, and ventured and fought hard around the world. No matter where they went, they always kept their hearts in the motherland and their hometowns, always connected by blood with their homeland, and lived and prospered together with it, becoming an important force for reform and development in Guangdong Province..."

Several government leaders spoke eloquently. Hao Qiang, who was sitting in the first row, felt a little bored after listening for a long time.

It has no nutritional value, it's all gobbledygook.

There were media photographers taking pictures of him, but Hao Qiang didn't dare to yawn, as it would make big news.

After the government leaders finished their speeches, it was the turn of an economics guest and a representative of Guangdong businessmen from home and abroad to take the stage to speak.

This morning we will have the opening ceremony and main forum, at noon we will have a banquet, and in the afternoon we will have exchange activities and business visits.

After the speech, the opening ceremony officially ended.

After a ten-minute break, the main forum began.

The main forum speakers were famous Guangdong businessmen invited by the government, and Hao Qiang was also invited to give a speech.

The first person to take the stage was Ms. Dong from Geli. She spoke casually without using any official language.

After chatting about business for a few minutes, the topic gradually turned to personal life.

Ms. Dong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "To this day, many people say that I should retire at my age."

Her words attracted the attention of everyone present. They put down their teacups and focused their eyes on her.

"Yes, our country stipulates that women retire at 55. I'm 56 this year, a year older." Ms. Dong said in a relaxed tone, but her eyes sparkled with confidence. "But I still feel very young. I even feel that I'm only 25, younger than Hao Qiang!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter at the scene.

Many people turned their eyes to Hao Qiang, and Hao Qiang couldn't help laughing and shook his head.

After all, he is 26 years old this year, one year older than the "25 years old" mentioned by Ms. Dong.

Seeing this, Ms. Dong smiled even more and continued, "So, biological age and psychological age are completely different.

The goals of life are created by ourselves. We have no reason to make decisions for others, and there is no need to be constrained by age."

Her words were light-hearted and philosophical, and the atmosphere on the scene became lively.

The guests felt particularly relaxed as they drank tea and listened to her sharing.

Some listened attentively, while others stood up and walked to the small conference room next door to have more private exchanges with other guests.

After Ms. Dong finished her speech, there was warm applause from the audience.

Immediately afterwards, the host announced the next speaker - Ma Huateng.

The theme of Ma Huateng's speech was "Internet and Technological Innovation". The content was profound and easy to understand, and it provided both insights into industry trends and prospects for future development.

His speaking style was humorous and witty, which caused laughter from the audience from time to time and created a very harmonious atmosphere.

After Ma Huateng finished his speech, the host came on stage again and announced that Hao Qiang would give a speech next.

Hao Qiang is the new representative of Guangdong businessmen, a role originally held by Ma Huateng.

But in a private conversation, Ma Huateng half-jokingly said to a government leader: "With Hao Qiang here, how can I have the nerve to represent Guangdong businessmen?

No one else is qualified except him.”

Hao Qiang declined several times, but finally took on this important task.

He straightened his suit and walked slowly onto the stage.

The audience instantly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on him, anticipating his speech.

After all, he is the richest man in the world, with a fortune exceeding one trillion yuan.

The second richest man at the scene, Ma Huateng, has a fortune of only over 20 billion yuan, which is equivalent to forty Ma Huatengs and fifty Xu bosses!

No, Boss Xu is not qualified to be Hao Qiang's unit of quantity.

How could a future rich man be qualified!

If Future Technology Group were to go public, Hao Qiang's wealth would be even more terrifying.

Hao Qiang stood in front of the podium, swept his eyes across the audience, smiled slightly, and began his speech.

His steady and powerful voice echoed in the meeting hall: "I was deeply touched by the leaders' speeches just now, and I also benefited a lot from the business experience shared by Ms. Dong and Mr. Ma."

"Many of my business partners have asked me to share my business experience," he continued, a hint of humility in his tone. "To be honest, everyone here is a senior, so I won't talk much about my business experience."

Then, Hao Qiang changed the subject and said, "Today, I want to talk about some of my personal insights. They may be a little unusual, so please don't laugh at me."

He paused briefly, then continued, "The topic I want to talk about is 'Improving the quality of employee meals, thereby improving employee execution and work efficiency.'"

This topic is not trivial, and I guess many bosses here have overlooked it.

We work eight hours a day, but how much of that time is effective working?

Six hours?

Personally, I think five hours is pretty good.”

Hao Qiang's tone became serious, even a little critical: "To put it bluntly, we all want to exploit the value of our employees to gain wealth.

I think that’s correct, but there are things that can be done and things that cannot be done.”

As a representative of Guangdong businessmen, Hao Qiang is right to make these critical remarks. He has the qualifications, not because he is the richest man in the world.

Of course, he was also appealing for his past self and hoped to change everything.

Maybe if he said that, those bosses would not change anything, but with his current social influence, it would definitely attract social attention.

At least, Hao Qiang can manage thousands of supplier companies of Future Technology Group.

"I don't feel sorry for ordinary employees, but I feel that these bosses are very calculating and think that by lowering the food standards for employees, they can increase the company's profits.

Let me just say, it's absolutely stupid!"

"If an employee saves five yuan a day, that only amounts to a few hundred yuan a year.

But if employees eat well, the benefits created for the company will be more than a few hundred yuan a year."

He paused, as if letting the audience digest this simple math problem. "Employees eat well, feel a sense of belonging to the company, and employee turnover is reduced. Aren't these costs?"

Hao Qiang's tone gradually softened: "To be honest, there are so many bosses who go to their own company cafeteria to eat, and their employees can't swallow it. I guess the bosses don't know.

Bosses complain every day that their employees are not working hard, but if they want the horse to run faster, why don’t they let the horse eat well first?

Ordinary employees eat worse than cattle and horses!

Perhaps some bosses would say that the company’s performance is not good, so how can they have money to improve employee benefits.

Haha, when the company is doing well, it doesn’t necessarily improve the employees’ meals, but instead tries to get more orders. There are very few people who truly care about their employees.

Employees are not fools, so everyone should be sincere in exchange.

Employees are a company's most valuable asset. Only by ensuring that they eat well, live well, and work well can a company truly succeed.

That’s my business philosophy.”

After Hao Qiang's words, the audience fell into a brief silence, and then burst into warm applause.

His words were like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of every listener and triggering deep thinking.

Hao Qiang pondered for a moment and continued:

"I personally believe that ensuring the basic welfare of employees is not only the responsibility of the company, but also a contribution to society!"

"Here, I also solemnly announce a decision - all suppliers of Future Technology Group must optimize the food supply for the company's ordinary employees within one month, ensuring that lunch is a basic meal of one meat and two vegetables.

This is our group's basic requirement for our partners and the most basic respect for our employees."

Hao Qiang's tone gradually became heavier, with a hint of uncompromising majesty: "Our company welcomes active reports from suppliers' employees. Once the problem is verified to be true and the supplier refuses to rectify it, we will unilaterally cancel the cooperation.

If employees don’t eat well, how can they be motivated to work?

How to ensure the quality of the company's products?

Thank you everyone, I am done. "

Hao Qiang's speech ended, and then there was a burst of warm applause that lasted for a long time.

The media reporters at the scene did not expect that Hao Qiang would drop such a big bomb. It is estimated that after his speech is released, it will definitely cause heated discussions among people across the country.
