On this day, Ziweixing held a temporary board of directors meeting. It was actually just a process, and Son Zhengyi didn't come to participate. It would be useless if he did. Boss Zhou has the absolute right to speak.

At the board meeting, Zhang Yiming was officially appointed as the executive vice chairman and president of Ziweixing, responsible for the daily operations of Ziweixing Group. After the meeting, Zhou Buqi also met with Zhang Yiming, He Yang, Guo Pengfei, Meng Houkun, Wang Haiyang, Ji Zian, and Nie

Caijun and several other important executives explained the company's split plan.

This financial tsunami has dealt a fatal blow to the world's economy.

Even if the global economy begins to recover and pick up in a few years, the sequelae caused by this economic crisis are obvious, and the global economic structure that has been operating for thirty years is beginning to be questioned.

Anti-globalization trends have begun to emerge around the world, and national sentiments have begun to rise in many countries around the world.

Under this situation, life for multinational companies is not easy.

Even Europe, the back garden of Silicon Valley, has raised a killing stick against Silicon Valley giants. From Apple to Google, from Microsoft to Tesla, from Amazon to Facebook, they are basically lining up to be beaten.

Instead of facing huge two-way pressure in the future, it is better to cut off early and eliminate some particularly serious hidden dangers. Domestic and foreign countries can play their own roles and isolate each other.

However, Ziweixing is a big company, with cash on hand of 2.2 billion yuan plus US$5.2 billion in foreign exchange.

How to split it up requires a very complex and thorough financial calculation.

At this moment, the core executives understood Boss Zhou's plan.

No wonder he promoted Zhang Yiming to vice chairman because he wanted to hand over all the domestic business to him and take charge of the global market.

Zhou Buqi explained, "The split is just a split of shares. The split in the legal sense is to prevent unexpected factors from uncontrollable changes in the international situation in the future. There will be no changes in the company's operations.

It also needs to be run as a company. Yikyak and Weibo are actually two names for the same product at home and abroad. They are the same thing, but they still need to communicate with each other and work together."

This relationship is just like Alibaba and Ant Financial in later generations. They are two companies in name, but in fact they are one company. Alipay, Tmall, Alibaba Cloud, and DingTalk are the same, and they are the core business departments of Alibaba.

The development of the business will not be affected by changes in shares.

There will be no obstacles in personnel transfer. Alibaba employees can be assigned to work at Ant Financial at will, while Alipay employees must follow arrangements and may work in a certain department of Alibaba at any time.

It's just that it's not as simple to handle as a wholly-owned subsidiary, and requires some additional procedures such as secondments or business trips.

Nie Caijun asked: "What about the shares? Absolute control or..."

Zhou Buqi said: "If you don't want absolute control, what's the point of splitting it? Ziweixing Group's shareholding in Ziweixing International Group must ensure that after several rounds of dilution, it can continue to retain 35% of the shares after the IPO.

Already."

"How will the remaining shares be distributed?"

"Exchange in proportion."

"Well, that's good. It won't harm the interests of small shareholders and everyone will be happy."

Nie Caijun nodded, approving this plan.

Seeing that none of the major shareholders present objected, Zhou Buqi made the decision, "Since we all have no objections, it's decided, split! Caijun, please find a professional accounting firm now, domestic and international

We need two teams to make it clear."

Nie Caijun smiled and said, "No problem, I'll do it."

At this time, He Yang suddenly said, "The breakup of Ziweixing is a big deal. You have to clear up the relationship. Now our country has spent a lot of money to open Confucius Institutes all over the world and wants to export culture. You do this..."

Zhou Buqi was very confident, "I know, I've done it all!"

"Done?"

"Well, I did three things."

"What exactly?"

"First, I helped contact Microsoft to resolve the piracy and infringement issue. Microsoft promised not to prosecute on a large scale."

"This is what you should do."

He Yang didn't think this was worth showing off.

Zhou Buqi continued: "Now is the financial crisis. Foreign capital has withdrawn a lot, and the domestic economy is under great pressure. This time when I went abroad, I contacted the Kuwait Sovereign Fund."

"Um?"

He Yang was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "They promised to invest about 5 billion US dollars in China, eh! Invest in large A-shares! I will help take the lead and help them connect with the relevant departments and open an investment license. This kind of sovereign fund does everything

It’s a long-term investment, and it’s US dollars from the Middle East, so there’s nothing irrelevant.”

Everyone present was shocked.

I'm going!

Boss Zhou, what did you do when you went abroad this time? Didn’t I hear that you bought a Premier League club? How come you got involved with the tycoons in the Middle East?

He Yang has a good understanding of the international situation and is very happy for him.

This is a big deal.

The strategic significance is far beyond what can be measured by money. It helps the country open up relationships with mainstream oil countries.

Oil in the Middle East is a strategic material, and the whole world is grabbing it. High-quality oil countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Bahrain are all in the Western camp. The rest are war-torn and non-mainstream countries.

Although Kuwait is a small country, it is already very stable and has very stable crude oil output.

In peacetime, the deeper the economic exchanges, the stronger the relationship. The more Kuwait invests domestically and earns more, the more stable the interest base of both parties will be.

"What about the third point?"

"Donate."

"Donate?"

"Yes, after Ziweixing is split, I will promise to donate all the shares I hold in Ziweixing Group."

"hiss!"

Many young people were stunned.

Donated all the stocks?

What a struggle!

Meng Houkun said exaggeratedly: "Old Zhou, have you drunk too much?"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "You just drank too much! Pattern! Do you understand Pattern? What's wrong with donations? Get rich first and then get rich later. This is the policy. If you don't understand, go home and ask your father!"

Meng Houkun curled his lips, "Then we can't just donate it all, right?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Who said all the shares were donated? Isn't it split? I have no commitment to Ziweixing's overseas stocks. Besides, even if all the overseas business shares are donated, so what? Sacrifice the individual and achieve success.

With my big self, I can still do it.”

"hehe!"

"hehe!"

"hehe!"

The sneers kept coming and going.

There were no outsiders present, they were all old men who started their business with Zhou Buqi, and they had a good idea of ​​the big boss's character. I couldn't believe all the truth in what he said.

Guo Pengfei tentatively said: "Boss Zhou means... to donate his personal shareholdings? Not including the indirect shareholdings of Polaris Venture Capital? That's right, if the stocks have been donated, how can he still control the company?"

Zhou Buqi is a little helpless. It seems that this group of people is still young and does not understand the long-term significance of this. Or it may be that the current private entrepreneurs in China are still relatively poor, and the donation culture has not really emerged yet.

In a few years, in addition to corporate donations, the wealthiest private entrepreneurs will make hundreds of millions or billions in personal donations.

Rather than donating under the pressure of wealth distribution policies, it is better to take the initiative to donate, which can not only leave a good impression on the public and leaders, but also win the reputation of a national entrepreneur.

In comparison, the domestic donation environment is too friendly.

Have a choice.

You may donate or you may not donate.

If the public accuses someone of not donating, they will be suspected of being forced to donate. This is much friendlier than the United States. On the surface, donations are free in the United States, but in fact they are required to donate, just like in China you must honor your parents.

In China, children must be filial to their parents, because they are raised by their parents; American children are not very filial to their parents, because their children are raised by the country. They must "honor" the country, that is, make donations. Let alone the rich, even if they are

The common people at the bottom, even the bankrupt family in "Shameless", are so poor that they can't even pay the rent or put food on the table. Every month, they have to deduct some money in proportion to donate to charity funds, just like tax deductions.

This is the cultural background of American society.

Just like tipping at a restaurant.

On the surface, you have a choice whether to tip or not. In fact, it is mandatory. Tips less than 10% of the total consumption may be considered as humiliating others, and you will be punished.

You may be scolded or even beaten. This is not a law, but a culture of consensus.

Social wealth is a reservoir. It would be too monotonous to rely solely on tax collection to regulate the distribution of wealth in the reservoir. It must be inseparable from the donation culture in society.

The domestic donation culture is still relatively weak and needs to be cultivated slowly.

Zhou Buqi had such an awareness.

He personally holds 200 million shares in Ziweixing and has promised to donate it, not a one-time donation. After the listing, he will cash out 3 million shares every year and donate 5 million shares in a steady stream.

Listed on the charity list, becoming the country's leading philanthropist.
