The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

There are many different opinions on the social responsibilities that a company should bear.

It's difficult to have a specific standard.

But Chen Pingsheng had a very clear standard in his mind.

He has already gained control of most of the domestic traffic and possesses substantial capital and traditional experience.

Once he enters a new traditional industry, it will be extremely difficult for ordinary entrepreneurs, even those with exceptional talent, to compete with him.

This isn't a matter of ability; it simply means that his comprehensive abilities in traditional fields have reached a whole new level.

It's simply incomparable to ordinary small businesses.

Therefore, Tencent is no longer focusing its efforts on traditional fields.

Instead, the Dream Realization Fund will be used to support more entrepreneurs in small and medium-sized physical industries.

This can be considered a form of support policy.

The technology sector is different. Foreign countries have been developing for hundreds of years, and their competitors are outstanding companies in the global arena.

Such competition is welcomed and hoped to be seen at the national level.

They might even provide strong support.

Lin Qiunan spent three whole days in Teng Ying's secretariat, and what she saw and heard during those days completely shattered her understanding of the world.

This also made her feel a deep respect for Tencent Group.

Because I work in the secretary's office, I am, to some extent, the first thing I see is the big boss's daily work routine.

Although the big boss hasn't appeared at the group these past few days, it doesn't mean their workload has decreased.

At the very least, many top investment banks, both domestic and international, hope to have the opportunity to meet with the CEO.

Every now and then, they would ask someone to arrange a time for him.

These people not only bring funds, but also research reports on industry development.

Persuade the big boss to enter some new traditional industries.

For example, traditional fast food restaurants reduce labor costs by selling pre-made meals.

To quickly realize profits and expand.

From a capital perspective, joining forces with Tencent to research pre-cooked meals has a promising future.

In addition to various capital tycoons, there will also be many industry conferences, which are local business forums, that invite big bosses to participate.

The ranking is right behind Teacher Ma.

These kinds of secretarial meetings can be directly refused, because the big boss definitely won't participate.

In addition to these, people from within the system often like to visit Tencent Film Studio.

The secretariat needs to provide hospitality tailored to different groups of people and their status.

These days, even big bosses don't personally handle these kinds of matters; if someone asks, they just say he has family matters to attend to.

This was the excuse given by the big boss himself; in short, there was no need to be perfunctory.

He also couldn't spend his time entertaining guests.

These tasks are only external in nature. Internally, the secretariat is responsible for organizing the daily progress of the group's projects.

Tengying Group is currently working on many projects.

The largest project is undoubtedly the Tengying Headquarters Future City, with an investment of over 50 billion yuan.

In addition, there is the Tengfei New Energy Ecological Park, with an investment of over 4 billion yuan, and the Tengfei Supply Chain Support R&D Center, with an investment of 5 billion yuan.

And research centers that are being built at an accelerated pace in various regions.

The project progress needs to be reported daily, in addition to the financial situation of each company and the progress of work.

The secretariat must have standards.

It's fair to say that the work of a single big boss requires the cooperation of at least a dozen people.

This also forms the current backup office for the Shanghai secretary position.

Every seemingly insignificant document.

The economic figures behind them are all calculated in hundreds of millions.

These documents cannot be handled carelessly, which requires them to be extremely focused.

After Tencent's fall campus recruitment season concludes, the group will also organize a large-scale intern return-to-farm program in December.

The program lasts for 15 days and all the interns recruited in this batch must participate.

The same applies to the group's newly promoted management team.

The "Return to Agriculture" initiative was personally decided by the big boss and was the first of its kind organized by the group.

The secretariat had prepared for all sorts of details two months in advance.

As for the purpose of this return to farming, according to the big boss, it means that most of the students recruited by Tengying are from impoverished families.

These impoverished students are very familiar with agriculture, and engaging in agricultural activities can further boost their self-confidence.

This is only one aspect.

Another key point is that Tengnong Aquaculture is Tengning Group's largest charitable project.

The investment to date has reached nearly 10 billion yuan, which is a significant sum for local rural families.

The significance is self-evident.

However, these billions of yuan are being invested in agriculture and animal husbandry across China, especially in rural households.

However, this seems like a drop in the ocean.

Over the next five to ten years, Tencent Pictures plans to invest at least 30 billion yuan.

With my own efforts, I aim to improve the economic income of five million rural households.

To ensure that the elderly have support and security.

This is a responsibility for the future of Tengying Group, and also a great act of love.

Outsiders have no idea that Tengying has already established in-depth cooperation with several of the most prestigious agricultural universities in China.

It even established a professional agricultural and livestock research institute with a scale of over a thousand people.

Its main responsibilities include researching local temperatures and climates, and assisting agricultural and livestock teams in achieving better harvests and plantings.

Interns were sent to Tengnong Aquaculture for a 15-day "return to agriculture" mission, accompanied by senior executives.

This is an event that Tengying will hold every year in the future, and it will even become a kind of corporate culture, profoundly influencing everyone in the company.

It can only be said that Tengying Group is much larger than outsiders imagine, and its strength is far beyond that of ordinary super-large enterprises.

It is far superior to those bloodsucking companies that rely on exploiting employees' labor to generate revenue.

In such a group, you can deeply feel what social responsibility means.

You can also feel the genuine goodwill that Tengying Group has for society and for impoverished students.

From this perspective, Lin Qiunan doesn't understand why such a company would frequently attract widespread online attacks from experts.

This will cause the capital market to depress its stock price.

If it weren't for the fact that Tencent Entertainment had the simultaneous investment of the three internet giants, BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent), it would have been a different story.

The stock price probably won't reach 1600 billion.

The stock prices of other Tencent-related companies are generally severely undervalued.

Only by truly understanding this company can one truly accept the criticisms leveled at in class regarding its reforms.

Even the college students who say the boss has poor judgment.

They scoffed at it.

Because those people don't even know what a company's responsibilities are, how can they possibly evaluate such a big boss?

They rely solely on theoretical knowledge from books, or on their own arrogance.

It's like a sparrow criticizing an eagle soaring in the sky, saying it's not worthy of flying that high.

……

In the third and fourth years of university, there are actually very few courses; students mainly focus on internships.

That is, social practice.

Lin Qiunan cherishes her opportunity at the University of Finance and Economics, and even more so the opportunity for the big boss to be an ordinary visiting professor.

He still answered the college students' questions with the same gentleness and tireless enthusiasm.

Even though their questions were somewhat naive, they answered them seriously.

Truly talented people rarely speak eloquently.

Those who like to speak eloquently and logically have never even entered the door of wisdom.

It merely exists outside the bound by rigid adherence to textbooks.

For example, Professor Chen himself never deliberately quotes classical texts; he only uses the most ordinary language to explain a series of problems arising from social practice.

Gradually, many college students realized that behind each seemingly ordinary reply lay the most sincere blessings and goodwill from an elder professor or scholar.

Many people started asking some practical, small questions.

For example, is it appropriate to start a business after graduating from university? Should one have hobbies or other ideas outside of work?

Chen Pingsheng patiently answered their questions one by one.

Those who graduate from university but don't come from wealthy families are definitely not suited to starting a business.

Those who have the means should work for a large company for a few years to gain some work experience before considering anything else.

It's no exaggeration to say that it can take several years to get a promotion and a raise in a large company.

Starting your own business is almost certainly a recipe for disaster, because you simply don't have the necessary skills.

Of course, this is on the premise of removing those one-in-a-million chosen ones.

Don't take a very small number of isolated cases as successful experiences.

He often mentioned the importance of comparing the results of most people's practices.

As for whether college graduates should enjoy life outside of work or take on other side jobs, that remains to be seen.

As long as it doesn't affect my work, all of this shouldn't be a big problem.

The premise is that it does not affect one's main job.

When you first start working, it's very important to avoid being indecisive.

……

11 month 25 number.

Tengying Group officially launched its autumn campus recruitment at the University of Finance and Economics, influenced by the previous "selection of concubines" incident.

A large number of senior executives were laid off.

The entire group underwent restructuring, and the number of employees in the Tengying Group, which was originally planned to recruit 180 people, increased to 350.

Although it is still pitifully small compared to the overall base, it has indeed doubled the number of internship positions available.

This will undoubtedly increase everyone's chances of getting a job.

This year, the image coordinator for campus recruitment has changed from Chu Qiuyan to Zhang Wanyi, who also recently graduated from university.

As a result of the concubine selection incident, Chu Qiuyan was also stripped of her position as the public image ambassador for Tencent Pictures Group.

This is actually quite normal, considering that even Gao Hu was fired, so her punishment is already considered very lenient.

At least that's how everyone in the group sees it.

Zhang Wanyi may not have the same glamorous title of college entrepreneurial goddess as Chu Qiuyan, but she is the close secretary of the big boss of Tengying Group.

Their words and actions primarily represent the big boss.

So, in terms of status alone, her position as the number one secretary in Shanghai is higher than that of Chu Qiuyan.

She was also the fastest rising among the interns, and compared to others, her internship experience was truly invaluable.

Never underestimate any woman who can rise to prominence in the workplace in a short period of time.

They all have their own shining qualities.

This brilliance is what sets Zhang Wanyi apart from others.

She was personally recommended by Bai Xin, which gave her the opportunity to become the number one secretary in Shanghai.

The fact that she was in charge of campus recruitment at least shows that Tencent Group attaches great importance to the University of Finance and Economics.

As for the big boss himself, apart from initially promoting Tengfei New Energy's development on campus, he has no other experience in campus recruitment.

Simply put, he's no longer involved in corporate campus recruitment. (End of Chapter)
