Chapter 740: 500 Billion Plan(1/2)
October 7, 2006.
Kirin Taobao held a small press conference in a Shenzhen hotel. Ninety percent of domestic and foreign newspapers received invitations from Kirin Taobao. Hundreds of reporters attended the press conference.
The reporters were already in place one by one under the arrangements of the staff.
"What on earth are you talking about with Kirin Taobao? It invites so many people to a press conference."
"You will know later when the host comes up and talks about it."
"This press conference is so big, it must be something big done by Qilin."
"They have invited so many foreign reporters this time. Will this press conference have something to do with foreign countries?"
"It should, maybe, it's possible."
...
Foreign Correspondents Group.
"Kirin Taobao's current business is only developing in China. Why do you think they invited us to come here?"
"If nothing else, Kirin Taobao will definitely expand its international business."
"I heard that China's domestic e-commerce competition is very fierce, and the local competition in Qilin has not yet been solved, so it is reaching out to foreign countries?"
"What's the use of the money the Kirin Group has? There are Amazon and eBay in Europe. Can Kirin be able to compete with an outsider?"
"Let's see what the host says later."
...
Lao Ma adjusted his tunic suit and walked to the stage.
The reporters at the scene immediately became quiet after seeing Lao Ma.
Lao Ma smiled slightly and said: "Welcome to today's press conference. I believe everyone is very curious about this press conference. Why does Kirin Taobao invite reporters from all over the world?
Because this press conference affects people all over the world.
Kirin Taobao will launch a 500 billion global e-commerce poverty alleviation plan in January next year."
Not to mention the following content, the reporters present were completely shocked when they heard the figure of 500 billion.
500 billion soft girl coins are equivalent to nearly 60 billion U.S. dollars. Kirin actually spent 60 billion U.S. dollars to help the poor.
Not even the Virgin Mary is so kind.
Even the Ninety Great Good People are not that good.
"Qilin Group is so crazy. It has spent 500 billion to alleviate poverty. What good will this do to Qilin?"
"If there were no benefits, Kirin Group would definitely not do such a thing."
"Now I just want to say that Qilin Group is awesome."
"Is it because Qilin Group has a lot of money and no place to spend it, so it has to take the money and scatter it everywhere."
"The Kirin Group has a sense of social responsibility. If you think everyone can be like the Kirin Group, look at Kirin's attitude towards its employees and its attitude towards its foundry employees.
Besides, this poverty alleviation plan may not be without benefits, it should be a win-win plan.”
...
“What is the e-commerce poverty alleviation plan?
E-commerce poverty alleviation, that is, e-commerce poverty alleviation and development, is the concept and practice of incorporating e-commerce, which is becoming increasingly mainstream in today's Internet era, into the poverty alleviation and development work system, acting on aid objects, innovating poverty alleviation and development methods, and improving poverty alleviation and development performance.
Of course, some people believe that "e-commerce poverty alleviation is to use the 'Internet' to connect one household with many households and one store with many villages through a precise poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation mechanism, connect with the large market in urban and rural areas, focus on the upward movement of agricultural products, and promote the circulation of commodities.
This will increase the employment and income of poor households, promote the coordinated development of urban and rural economic and social development, and achieve a win-win situation.
E-commerce poverty alleviation can not only be used in one industry, one place, and one thing, but it can also be used or radiated to multiple industries, multiple places, and many things at the same time. E-commerce can be used to promote families in poor areas to get rid of poverty and become rich, and to promote the development of local industries."
Specifically, it can be expressed as: E-commerce, production and operation entities and all social forces help improve the e-commerce application of farmers and production operators in poverty-stricken areas by improving relevant infrastructure in poverty-stricken areas and establishing the concepts and systems of the Internet and e-commerce.
A series of measures to promote the production, processing, sales and branding of local agricultural products and specialty products, facilitate people's production and life, drive employment and entrepreneurship, increase farmers' income, promote economic and social development and transformation, and thereby accelerate the pace of poverty alleviation and prosperity.
E-commerce poverty alleviation mainly includes six basic aspects:
1. Support and drive poor families to start online sales businesses, provide basic knowledge training and corresponding start-up capital support, etc.;
2. Mobilize e-commerce platforms and e-commerce companies to directly participate in the development of specialty products in poor areas and organize online sales;
3. Improve the foundation for rural e-commerce development, mainly by strengthening the construction of information, transportation, and logistics foundations in poor villages to meet the needs of e-commerce development;
4. Strengthen the coordination of social resources, including the government's promotion of the development, publicity and promotion of local advantageous agricultural products, mobilizing enterprises and all sectors of society to connect with rural areas to expand online sales and the development of rural tourism;
5. E-commerce companies absorb some local jobs and drive local e-commerce entrepreneurship;
6. After e-commerce enters rural areas, it will bring various conveniences to farmers’ production and life, such as bill payment, online purchasing, financial services, etc.”
...
After Lao Ma’s introduction, everyone had a certain understanding of this e-commerce plan.
This plan is a win-win plan for both farmers and Qilin Taobao.
"This e-commerce poverty alleviation plan is not only for poor areas in China, this plan is also effective for poor areas around the world, which is why Kirin Group invites everyone here.
In order to facilitate the circulation of specialty products, another project will be launched to cooperate. Kirin Taobao will cooperate with mate to jointly create an era of global e-commerce. Kirin Taobao and mate will each invest US$20 billion.
We will build 35 international logistics warehouses abroad to make trade easier through e-commerce.
Any interested poor areas can register online, and we will send people to investigate as soon as possible after the assessment.
Kirin Taobao will lead everyone to work together towards a well-off society and out of poverty.
My speech is over, now comes the question and answer session." Lao Ma said with a smile.
Domestic reporters applauded after Lao Ma's speech, and foreign reporters followed suit in the atmosphere.
...
This news was quickly written into a manuscript by the media using mobile phones and posted online.
When the news came out, it shocked all netizens in China, and many local governments were also shocked, because Kirin Taobao did not communicate with any government before announcing this plan.
It can be said that Kirin Taobao has become a blockbuster without even making a name for itself.
Netizens also commented a lot after seeing this message.
"Damn it, Qilin Group is so awesome. It spent 500 billion at once, and it was used for poverty alleviation."
"Five hundred billion should be able to pile up into a small mountain."
"I have never seen it, let alone 500 billion or 100 million."
"The level of wealth of the Kirin Group has exceeded my understanding. How much money does the Kirin Group have?"
"Sure enough, Qilin Group is still the same. It has the money to help everyone get rich together. If China has a few more companies like this, will it still worry that China cannot rise?"
"If the Kirin Group only supports China, why should it support foreign countries?"
"How can we sell our products abroad if we don't support foreign countries? If you don't think about it, there are not many really rich people in China. Only by selling our products abroad can we make more money."

Kirin Manor.
Cao Mang was playing with Cao Feifei in the living room. Now that Cao Feifei has grown, she looks just like Lisa. She must be a big beauty.
At this time, the phone on the table rang.
[Caller: Sun Liancheng]
"Sun Liancheng called." Zhu Lisa picked up the phone and handed it to Cao Mang and said.
Cao Mang took the phone with his left hand and handed it to Cao Feifei to Zhu Lisa.
"Brother, why did you call me when you had time?" Cao Mang asked with a smile.
"Brother, you have such a big plan, why didn't you tell me in advance?" Sun Liancheng complained.
If Cao Mang had informed him in advance and reported the matter to the police, that would be a huge political achievement. He would not even be promoted to the third level.
"I haven't been to the company for a long time. How do I know what happened in the company? I am now in a semi-retired state, and all the company's affairs have been handed over to Zhu Youfang. What happened, brother?" Cao Mang asked with a smile.
In fact, Cao Mang asked Lao Ma to deliberately not contact anyone about this matter.
"You can safely leave such a big company to a little girl?" Sun Liancheng said in surprise.
"Zhu Youfang's abilities are not bad at all. I trained her as my successor," Cao Mang replied.
"Lao Ma just held a press conference and launched a 500 billion poverty alleviation plan. You don't know about such a big plan, right?" Sun Liancheng asked in a resentful tone.
"I really don't know about this. Lao Ma has the final say on Kirin Taobao. I told him when I invited him here that he would be in charge of Kirin Taobao," Cao Mang replied.
"Forget it, I won't tell you. You're just teasing me. I'm going to find Lao Ma now," Sun Liancheng said.
"Okay, let's do that. Come over for dinner when you have time." Cao Mang said with a smile.
"I'm going to have dinner tonight. You guys are waiting for me with a nice drink, so I'll hang up first." Sun Liancheng said and hung up the phone.
At the same time, countless people are looking for Lao Ma’s contact number.
