Chapter 312 [Spending money is much harder than making money]
During the two days of the weekend, Lu Ming was not idle, but was thinking about planning another thing, which can also be said to be another career.
That’s spending money!
How to spend the money in his name made Lu Ming quite troubled during this period. Spending money with him was much more difficult than making money.
In addition to the stock assets of Tiansheng Capital, he now has close to 9 billion in actual cash in his personal name, which is the income from the company's last dividend.
This year the company distributed a dividend of 250 billion yuan. As the actual controller and largest shareholder of the company, Lu Ming personally took away more than half of the cake with 55% of the shares, which is 137.5 billion yuan.
This huge dividend will be received on the 22nd of this month, which is the first working day after the Spring Festival.
This asset is not an inflated market value, but a real liquid cash asset, real gold and silver.
Coupled with the cash assets obtained from a dividend, Lu Ming immediately had a huge cash assets of 146.5 billion yuan. He was really so poor that he only had money left.
It is dead money lying in the account. Not only can it not create more value, but it will continue to depreciate, but it cannot be re-entered into the financial capital market to idle around. Finance itself does not create value.
Reinvesting in the financial capital market may allow this money to generate more money, but it will only intensify the social polarization between rich and poor, concentrate wealth on a smaller number of people, and intensify social conflicts. Over time, it is inevitable that things will turn against each other.
With as much money as Lu Ming has now, how to spend it is really troublesome. It is easy to spend this money. Hundreds of billions can be spent in the capital market. In the last stock market crash, 21 trillion stocks were wiped out.
Does it need to fall all of a sudden, let alone more than 100 billion?
The really difficult part is to find a reasonable and appropriate solution. It is already unreasonable to throw it back to the capital market.
…
Monday, February 12, Lu Ming’s office.
"Please come in!"
It was around 9 o'clock in the morning, and the person who entered the office was Yao Yun, the company's chief legal officer.
Lu Ming walked out of his desk and sat down on the sofa in the rest area.
Yao Yun sat next to him and looked at Lu Ming: "What new orders does the chairman have from me?"
She is the person in charge of the company's legal affairs and is also one of the 11 directors of Tiansheng Capital.
Lu Ming looked at him and smiled and said: "It has nothing to do with the company. It is my own business. I plan to make a major distribution adjustment of the property under my personal name. The relevant legal issues must be resolved. This depends on you."
Professionals led a team to help me solve it.”
Yao Yun nodded, looked at the other party without saying a word, waited for the next words and made a memo.
After a moment, Lu Ming said in an orderly manner: "Please help me plan the establishment of two fund organizations, one is called the 'Basic Science and People's Welfare and Livelihood Fund'. As the name suggests, this organization is dedicated to solving the two major issues of basic scientific research and people's livelihood.
"Basic scientific research focuses on the future, and people's livelihood focuses on the present, walking on two legs."
In the context of the current society where everything is focused on money, fewer and fewer people are engaged in basic scientific research, because once you choose this field, you must be prepared to live in poverty. How many young people looked up at the stars when they were children?
In the end, I had to bow to my livelihood and hide my dream of looking up at the stars forever deep in my heart, so that I had no time to even think about it.
Scientists are not just scientists. They are also the sons of their parents, the husbands of their wives, and the fathers of their children... When these cannot be solved, how can they put all their efforts into scientific research? How can they produce great results?
Scientists are human beings too.
Why can a technician earn a salary of more than 100,000 yuan a year, while a celebrity earns more than 2 million yuan a day?
Putting people first is an important connotation of scientific research breakthroughs.
Therefore, Lu Ming is going to use the resources at his disposal to establish such a fund organization so that people engaged in basic scientific research can have guaranteed housing and medical care, a guaranteed education for their children, and a guaranteed pension for their parents.
Lu Ming wants to use his wealth and resources to cover more researchers who are committed to basic scientific research as reasonably as possible.
The living security of scientific researchers is in place, which corresponds to the investment in scientific research funds. How many scientists force themselves to do social activities, run errands, and spend a lot of time in places that have nothing to do with scientific research for the sake of scientific research funds.
How can we produce great scientific and technological achievements?
If basic scientific research focuses on the future, then people's livelihood focuses on the present.
Lu Ming’s investment in this field is definitely not about distributing his own money directly in cash to those in need to give to the world. This will not only fail to solve the hematopoietic problem, but will also harm them and offend others, because Lu Ming
No matter how rich you are, it is impossible to cover all the general public, and you will not suffer from scarcity but inequality.
The people's livelihood that Lu Ming wants to do is not to help specific individuals. The so-called way of heaven is to make up for the shortcomings when there is more damage.
When focusing on environmental governance, if an area that was originally heavily polluted can be improved after treatment and the air quality is better, everyone in the area will benefit. This is just and equitable.
When focusing on poverty alleviation work, it is not about giving money directly to the poor, but about building public infrastructure, building a road, erecting a wire, and building a non-profit market trading center so that ordinary people on both sides of the road can have a trading channel.
, and reduce the transaction costs of ordinary people.
The way of heaven is inactive and follows nature. God will not help a specific person, otherwise it will be unfair to another person. The reason why God is fair to everything in the world is that he will not help anyone, and of course it will be unfair to everything.
All are fair.
Obviously, Lu Ming is seeking the way of heaven without doing anything but doing something.
At this moment, Yao Yun listened to Lu Ming's explanation and said thoughtfully: "If you don't help specific individuals, you are helping everyone. The chairman's inaction made me understand the word 'poverty alleviation'
New understanding."
Lu Ming said calmly: "In fact, the company's reward mechanism also needs to be reformed. The current bonus system is not the optimal solution. Human nature is selfish and dissatisfied. If the company gives an employee a bonus of 100,000 yuan, he will not
If he is grateful to you, he will be happy for a while at most, but when he gets the money, he will probably say with emotion: Well, the boss has a conscience, and it is not in vain that I work so hard for him."
Lu Ming immediately started a stand-up comedy: "... He put the bonus in his pocket, and then immediately turned to ask the colleague next to him if he had it? Did he have it? Why did you also have it? You see, he immediately felt unhappy.
What did you say? Not just you? Everyone? It’s the same? What does that sound like?”
Lu Ming looked at Yao Yun and clapped his hands on the back and added: "Look, his gratitude just now is gone. People, especially Chinese people, his understanding of fairness, what he is thinking in his heart is: everyone
Everyone has it, it’s not fair! Only I have something that everyone else doesn’t have, it’s fair! It’s so fair!”
Hearing this, Yao Yun was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He quickly covered his mouth, but his laughter remained the same.
So real!
Yao Yun smiled and said: "Compared to other wealthy people who do charity for poverty alleviation and distribute money to poor people door to door, the chairman's strategy and level are higher than they know how many ranks."
Lu Ming smiled and said: "The kind of people you mentioned may have few benevolent intentions, and many seek fame and fortune through 'poverty alleviation'. I have no right to comment. It is not a bad thing in any way, but I am not doing this for the sake of fame and fortune."
Looking for a good name that is both rich and benevolent, I only need three words."
Yao Yun couldn't help but asked curiously: "What three words?"
Lu Ming's words were concise and concise: "According to conscience, that's all."
