Li Shi's words stunned everyone.
An oath before the war?
Why did it sound so nonsensical?
However, following Boss Li's logic, they felt that it was very smooth and even reasonable.
It was definitely not a small matter for Boss Pei to pay so much attention to confidentiality.
There was no need to go through so much trouble if the 'Initial Relief Plan' was only a charity event.
However, what if, as Boss Li said, Tengda wanted to officially declare war on the domestic internet giants and big companies that occupied a monopoly position in the market, and the 'Initial Relief Plan' was just a preliminary preparation?
If Tengda wanted to declare war on these big companies, it had to be wary of these big companies joining forces.
In other words, there was a high probability that these big companies would join forces.
Then, it would be very difficult for Tengda to face such a powerful enemy, even with Boss Pei's wisdom and skill.
As the saying went, do not fight a battle that you are not confident in. Before the war, you had to be clear who were the enemies and who were the allies.
Rushing forward without knowing anything was the behavior of a fool. Obviously, Boss Pei would not make such a low-level mistake.
Thinking about it this way …
The 'Initial Relief Plan' was a plan to rope in allies!
That was because this plan could actually play a very comprehensive screening effect on Tengda's hardcore allies.
First of all, the Initial Relief Plan was a charity plan. The participating companies would definitely have a certain social responsibility.
Second, the Initial Relief Plan did not have a clear return. They would only get a verbal promise from Tengda. The participating companies would definitely have a high degree of trust in Tengda and follow it firmly.
Finally, due to the confidentiality of the Initial Relief Plan, the close relationship between these companies and Tengda could be roughly seen according to the order in which they joined the plan.
That was because the closer the relationship was, the more likely they would get the news and join earlier.
Combining the above three points, any company that joined the Initial Relief Plan could be regarded as Tengda's ally. What's more, according to the order in which they joined and the amount of investment, the level of allies could be roughly divided.
An investor raised a question. "But, Boss Li, if it was just to find allies, wouldn't it be fine with Boss Pei's reputation?"
Li Shi shook his head. "Of course not!
"How do you know if the person you're calling out to is a true and loyal ally or a hooligan? Or … a mole?
"Once this matter spreads, those big factories will definitely act upon hearing it and do everything they can to interfere."
"On the other hand, what we're doing now is stealthy and efficient."
"Apart from companies that have close ties with Tengda, no one else would receive the news. Even if they received the news, they would only think that this was an ordinary charity event. In fact, even if they heard my analysis, they would not believe it.
"That's because only companies that have absolute trust in Tengda and Boss Pei would respond to this.
The more the crowd listened, the more they felt that it made sense.
This was a perfect screening mechanism!
No one knew, and the selected companies were all trustworthy.
Of course, was it possible that Manager Li was just making a wild guess and there was no such thing at all?
There was still a possibility.
But so what if he guessed wrong? It's just a donation for charity. There's nothing to lose!
If he guessed correctly, then the rewards would be huge!
Tengda had declared war on those big companies. The end result would definitely be to snatch the vast market and resources from those big companies. Tengda could not possibly swallow all of these things.
Even if he could, given Boss Pei's generosity, he would not mind sharing some soup with everyone.
When had they ever suffered losses following Tengda?
Therefore, for the bosses present, it wasn't a problem at all to choose.
Only a fool would not do something with low risk and high reward!
Zhou Muyan was the first to express his stance. "Sun Strike Studios wants to join the 'Initial Relief Plan'!"
The other investors followed suit. "We'll join as well!"
Before long, the agreements were signed one by one.
There were no requirements on the amount of charity donations. It could be more or less. However, to these bosses, did they lack this bit of money?
What they lacked was their pride and their impression in front of Boss Pei!
Of course, some of them had donated hundreds of thousands or even millions before. Now that it was Boss Pei's turn, they had to show more sincerity.
Otherwise, it would sound bad. If they donated less to Boss Pei than they usually did, would that be appropriate?
After signing the agreements and donating, Li Shi took out his cell phone and opened the 'Initial Relief Plan' application. He said to everyone, "Everyone, you can scan the code to download this application. The 'Initial Relief Plan' cannot be found online nor is there an official application to download. You can only share it and scan the code. What's more, you have to donate before you can get the registration code.
"In this application, you can check the amount of donations from companies or individuals in real time. You can also see where your donations are going.
"A fixed percentage of all donations will be used as the operating expenses of the platform. However, the percentage is very low. You can also check the details of the operating expenses.
"However, this is the first version of the application after all. Many functions are still being perfected."
Everyone took out their cell phones and scanned the code to download the application.
Zhou Muyan sighed. "This application is really something! Every single account is recorded clearly. You can even check where your personal funds are going. Boss Pei is really good at doing things. "
According to Li Shi's introduction, the application would take a percentage of the operating expenses. After all, they could check where all the funds were going. If someone found out that all the money they donated was being used for operating expenses, it would not look right.
It would not be easy for them to accept it emotionally.
Now, they would take a percentage. Every donation would take a specific portion as the service fee. It was equivalent to splitting the money equally.
The operating expenses of the platform could be seen. The part of the donations that were really used for charity could also be seen. It was undoubtedly a very considerate design for the people who donated.
Zhou Muyan asked curiously, "Eh? There's an individual donation channel? What's the highest individual donation? "
"Eh? Who is this' Boss Pei's disciple '? He donated two million yuan in one go? "
There was a list of donations on the 'Initial Relief Plan' application. The list could be real or anonymous.
It was common to see companies donating a few million yuan on the list. After all, the bosses of big companies like Li Shi and Zhou Muyan were worth a lot. It was not strange for them to donate a few million yuan to support Boss Pei's charity.
However, on the individual list, both the number and the amount of donations were relatively small.
After all, there was a threshold for donating to the 'Initial Relief Plan'.
First, one had to have a close relationship with Tengda to know about this. Second, one had to be a big company that did not lack money to donate a relatively large amount.
This made it much more difficult for individuals to participate in the 'Initial Relief Plan'.
Even a rich second-generation heir like Xue Zhebin, who had a few companies under his name, would definitely be inclined to donate to Tengda in the name of his company. After all, the companies that donated would obtain Tengda's verbal promise and priority in collaboration!
A personal donation would definitely be a little less interesting.
Those who had insider information and could afford to donate a large amount were mostly bosses of companies. No matter how hard a worker worked, it would be difficult for him to donate that much money.
Thus, there were very few individual donations. What's more, they were basically a few hundred or a few thousand yuan as a token of goodwill. Zhou Muyan had reason to suspect that these were internal employees of the 'Initial Relief Plan' or people who were related to the 'Initial Relief Plan'. They were personally supporting this charity event and donating to express their goodwill.
Only an anonymous person called 'Boss Pei's disciple' had donated two million yuan in his own name. He was the first person on the individual donation list!
This made people very curious. Who exactly was this person who called himself 'Boss Pei's disciple'?
He must be someone close to Boss Pei.
However … was there a need to be so humble? So what if he wrote his name out in the open?
An investor guessed, "This could be … a hidden pawn of Boss Pei? For some reason, it's not convenient for him to reveal his identity. Even in such a highly confidential application, he can't expose himself for safety reasons? "
"There are only two possibilities for a hidden pawn to donate two million yuan as an individual."
"Either this person has a huge amount of energy that far exceeds two million yuan and only donated a small portion."
"Either this person has extremely lofty ideals, or he has absolute trust in Boss Pei. He did not earn much, but he resolutely donated it all."
"No matter which one it is, this person is very scary. He cannot be underestimated …"
It was just a glance at the 'Initial Relief Plan' that Boss Pei's strength was far more than what was on the surface. There were still many hidden pawns under the water. They might play a role at some point in the future.
It was terrifying!
Boss Pei's true strength was something that even allies like them who were very close to each other could not figure out, much less enemies.
Just the thought of being enemies with an opponent like Boss Pei was terrifying!
…
…
March 5th, Tuesday …
Meng Chang felt very good returning to Jingzhou.
He seemed to have experienced the feeling of being all-powerful when he first started his business!
This time, he followed the private team to negotiate with the Dayak Corporation. Although Eric and Assistant Xin were mainly in charge of the negotiation process, Meng Chang and He Desheng mainly provided strategic analysis and support. However, to Meng Chang, this trip was indeed very helpful to him.
Of course, shorting Finger Games' shares had also benefited him.
Thus, he took out a portion of his accumulated profits and entrusted Fan Xiaodong to invest in the 'Initial Relief Plan' in his own name.
He did not use his real name but donated anonymously. He had a new ID called 'Boss Pei's disciple'.
Meng Chang had actually considered using his real name or the ID 'Young Master Tian'.
After some thought, he gave up.
None of them were suitable!
That was because the 'Initial Relief Plan' might be a confidential plan but it would gradually develop in the future. More and more companies and individuals would join. There would still be a risk of leakage.
Of course, Boss Pei knew everything, but outsiders might not.
When everyone saw it, how could Meng Chang, a judgment debtor, have so much money to donate? Did he use his work in Tengda to earn extra money?
Or perhaps, didn't Young Master Tian have nothing to do with Tengda? Why did he donate so much money to Tengda's' Initial Relief Plan '? Was there something fishy going on behind the scenes?
Once these were exposed, they would not be of any help. Instead, they would have huge side effects and add to the trouble.
Thus, Meng Chang did not use his own name or the ID of Young Master Tian. Instead, he humbly called himself Tengda's disciple and donated as such.
What's more, this donation was made by Fan Xiaodong. He was not worried about being exposed as' Boss Pei's disciple is Meng Chang '.
He had to be careful when working under Boss Pei. He could not cause trouble for Boss Pei!
