Chapter 400: Three Years Later, Fortune Telling in Public
After Li Yuan said that he had been doing this secretly for more than 20 years, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Only Jiang Yiling can be considered an insider.
She also knew that Spark was only a part of Li Yuan's plan, and it was an overt plan.
There are more things done secretly. The three people who didn't come today have taken on a lot of work in private.
She was too lazy to ask for details. She was old and there was no benefit in knowing. Li Yuan would arrange it himself, and she didn't need to worry about the successor.
Both sons have already been married, and daughter Liu Ling is rather ordinary and can only serve as a foil.
Everyone became serious. After all, the reason why tonight's meeting was moved forward was because Li Yuan had something to announce.
"The so-called spark refers to you and me. Not only those present, but also those who are not present. Over the years, the entire team has indeed been centered around me, but I will eventually grow old and die. But I believe everyone should be clear about what the consequences will be if this team disbands.
Having more money is not necessarily a good thing. Money is a piece of fat meat. If there is no strong enough power to protect it, anyone will dare to take a bite. Even if you have a lot of wealth, how many people can bite it? Even if you don’t bite too much, the whole piece of meat can be torn apart. Torn meat has no value..."
Li Yuan took a sip of water and continued, "A dynasty of a hundred years, a family of a thousand years, if there is no fire, then there is no inheritance, and there is no unity. I can die today, but as long as the fire is still there, my death will not be in vain. On the contrary, even if I am alive, the fire is gone. Then after I die, someone will still dig up my grave.
The only purpose of a spark is to expand the fire and expand our ability to withstand risks. Even after hundreds or thousands of years, the flame we leave behind can still find the right opportunity to ignite a raging fire.
You have all become big shots in recent years. You may think that you have so much money that you can't spend it all in ten lifetimes. Why bother thinking about the future? After I die, who cares if there is a flood? Ordinary people can think like this, but you are wrong if you think like this! Is your wealth yours? The ultimate secret of wealth is never to own it, but to use it and distribute it. What's the point of giving you money that you can't spend in a hundred lifetimes? If you can't control the situation, it will become a pile of waste paper sooner or later! There is no money that can't be spent in ten lifetimes, and you can't even say that it can't be spent in one lifetime! The only wealth that can't be spent in the world is people!"
Everyone lowered their heads and Li Yuan spoke very slowly.
This was the first time Li Yuan had an in-depth communication with them. Before that, it was just work scheduling.
"There are people in their forties and fifties here. Of course, I also called two young people in their teens and twenties. It just so happens that I am announcing the entire system of Spark to everyone today. On the one hand, I want everyone to understand it, and on the other hand, I don't want any particularly big conflicts to arise within the company in the future. Remember, the overall interests are always greater than personal interests. If you can't grasp this point, if you can't stick together with everyone, then sooner or later you will be gnawed to the bone.
The Spark system is mainly composed of three parts. The first is the Elders' Council. There are thirteen seats in the Elders' Council, which is mainly responsible for the personnel dispatch of our team. According to the current composition of our team, in addition to me as the chief elder, there are twelve more seats, three for each family. When the time comes, you can directly apply to me. After my death, the position of the chief elder will be automatically invalidated, and there will only be twelve elders from now on.
The Council of Elders is limited to doing things within the team and not interfering with the outside world. Remember this! The rules are here and no one can change them!"
Next, Li Yuan began to explain the specific responsibilities of the Council of Elders.
The Council of Elders is the highest decision-making body within the entire team, and conflicts among internal personnel need to be mediated by the Council of Elders at all times.
If the situation cannot be resolved, we must be brave enough to make sacrifices.
If a prodigal son of a bitch appears, and if you can't cure him, just abandon him. If that doesn't work, send him to raise pigs and assign someone to keep an eye on him.
They can still come up with money to hire people.
The Council of Elders has the power to make decisions on all matters, big or small, in the village, and the core standards are unity, justice, and mutual assistance.
"The second most important part is the fire. We need fire, countless fire. In order to preserve enough fire, we must let our descendants enter all walks of life..."
This part is equally important.
Because Li Yuan was not sure how many years the team could remain united after his death. It might be twenty or thirty years before internal cracks appeared.
As long as you are in this team, no matter how good or bad your academic performance is, or whether your abilities are strong or weak, you can find a corresponding position.
You don’t have to be a business wizard, you can be a musician, an actor, a painter…
He could also be a blue-collar worker, delivering takeout food.
The same can also be scientists and politicians.
There are only about twenty people in Li Yuan's generation.
But Jiang Shu's generation already has more than sixty members.
In the next generation, there might be more than 200 or 300...
In the next generation, the number may exceed a thousand.
This is what Li Yuan can see. He will most likely not see the fifth generation. The number of people in that generation may exceed 5,000, and the sixth generation may even exceed 30,000...
Within a hundred years, their number may exceed 300,000, enough to cover most industries.
You don't need to be great, just being average is fine.
Everyone has authority within the family. Even if one has average abilities, looks, and personalities, the family can still arrange a marriage and a house for them, so they can earn a living on their own, and they will receive all kinds of gifts during festivals.
If you encounter any serious illness or major accident, the family will do its best to cover you.
Additional rewards will be given to those who expand the fire.
The outstanding ones here do not need financial help, but can exchange for some support in terms of network resources.
For example, if an actor wants to star in a big movie, or if a scientist wants to research a project, they can get support from within the family.
You can only choose one between money and resources.
It is impossible to sponsor both of them unconditionally. When there are more people in the future, the family will not be able to afford the sponsorship.
The entire Spark system will be headed by a new department called the Federation, which will have a total of thirteen presidents and several vice presidents.
The Council of Elders oversees the Federation’s thirteen presidents and vice presidents, but does not oversee the Spark Project. This is also to prevent the Council of Elders from having too much power.
Although the Council of Elders is ultimately the core, the Federation has certain decision-making powers.
“The third part is the education system.”
The education system is also a very important part. We need to pass on the family's philosophy to all future generations. Education is not only about increasing knowledge, but also about teaching people how to be human.
The focus is on educating people and laying a solid foundation for the entire system.
There will be only one principal in the first batch, and the number will be gradually increased according to the number of students.
Even the Council of Elders has no right to interfere with the education system. The education system stipulates that it is not allowed to give pocket money to children who have not graduated from college. Anyone who dares to give it is violating the rules!
The principal has the right to make decisions on anything that goes against the overall educational philosophy. Members who fail to pass the review of the family education system will not be included in the family genealogy.
The funding for these three systems is unrelated. One percent of external business profits are allocated to the three systems each year.
The Federation takes 50%, the Education Department takes 30%, and the Senate takes 20%.
At the same time, Li Yuan also set a rule that those who are not in charge of the Qianyi Group are not qualified to become elders.
For those who are short-sighted and narrow-minded, becoming an elder is a betrayal.
Those who harm their fellow tribesmen will be permanently expelled!
At the end, Li Yuan summarized: "External business is mainly determined by the helmsman, and the Council of Elders has no right to interfere! The helmsman is mainly elected through free elections. If we don't have our own people, we will let outsiders take the helm. I can't say for sure what the future business will look like."
After saying this, he started drinking tea and asked everyone to think carefully.
Li Yuan only gave a general idea. The details still need to be prepared slowly. For example, there will definitely be many small departments under the Council of Elders. Similarly, other things will be needed as well.
So far, he has been in charge of all three parts, but with the emergence of the third generation, he will definitely not be able to handle it all by himself.
To be eligible to apply for the Council of Elders, one must be at least 45 years old. Similarly, to be the president of the Federation, one must be at least 40 years old.
Li Yuan brought up the concept of family for the first time, treating the entire team as a family. Even though there were people with different surnames and backgrounds, they were all one family at this time.
To put it bluntly, the whole system is not profitable at all.
In today's society, everything is organized into systems, and it is very difficult to make money.
He will also arrange a monitoring team privately. Every member of the family will have a chip bracelet. The monitoring team will carry special instruments and can know how many people from the family are nearby at any time and anywhere, and then conduct sample surveys to see whether the relevant treatment is sufficient.
If you really want to make money, you have to rely on your own abilities.
If you have the ability, start a business. If you have the ability, work hard step by step to become the chairman of a trillion-dollar group.
There is no such thing as airborne landing in any position.
There is no such thing as heir.
Gu Dongsheng also had no right to designate his son to inherit the position of chairman of Nanshan Group. Gu Dongsheng even did not let his son go to Nanshan Group at all, but to other companies.
Currently, all enterprises are under the control of Li Yuan. Li Yuan will set a model for them, and they will just follow this rule in the future.
The current equity structure is pretty good. Although Li Yuan holds a lot of shares, they will all be distributed in the future.
Overall, every household is the same.
Only the first two generations can inherit more wealth, and those after them can hardly inherit any wealth.
The real core of wealth lies in Lotus Trust, and all money in the future will be distributed through Lotus Trust.
As for Lianhua Trust, Li Yuan will personally select heirs and distribute wealth to the entire family.
It may not be his children’s generation, but his grandchildren’s generation.
After Li Yuan finished speaking, everyone was silent for a long time.
It’s not that they don’t support Li Yuan’s approach, but they are thinking about something deeper.
They have fully understood what Li Yuan has done.
They have always thought that Li Yuan is the God of Wealth, and there is no money in the world that he cannot make. They don’t even know how rich Li Yuan is.
But in fact, Li Yuan didn’t think making money was that important. He had always been distributing wealth.
The distribution of wealth makes him richer and richer, and he won’t even need to do anything in the future, as money will still flow into his pocket.
Most people can't do this kind of thing because they don't have the foundation.
It just so happens that Li Yuan has it. There is no one else in the world who has the same ability as Li Yuan.
This time, the Spark Plan is equivalent to Li Yuan giving up some of his power.
Are you jealous?
Of course I'm jealous.
Who wouldn’t want ?
They were superficial before.
I feel that if I have some money I have a say.
After hearing what Li Yuan said, I realized that money is shit!
Power is the real awesomeness!
Participating in the process of distributing wealth is truly awesome.
The Presbyterian Church pursues the ability to make strategic plans and win battles from thousands of miles away, the Federation pursues the world's top network of contacts, and the education system serves as a guide for future generations. The overall operation even more complicated than the previous two.
All of this involves top-level mental games, which is much more difficult than managing a group.
But the fun level is also much greater.
Gu Dongsheng thought he had nothing to pursue and could retire peacefully in a few years.
Now seeing what Li Yuan has been doing, my life has a goal again.
Moreover, Li Yuan planned it very clearly and divided the entire family into four parts.
Which four parts?
Some are Li Yuan’s direct descendants, some are the native residents of the village, some are the grandchildren of the Thirteen Protectors, and some are classmates.
There is no particularly clear boundary between them, but it is very clear.
Even though Jiang Yiling is the grandson of the Thirteen Protectors, he is also Li Yuan's direct descendant.
Shen Anna and Cao Yuanyuan are classmates, but they are also Li Yuan's direct descendants.
Zhou Ranran is considered Li Yuan's direct descendant, but is also a native of the country.
Gu Dongsheng asked, "When can the Council of Elders submit its application?"
"It can be done within three years. After three years, the Spark Project will be officially launched. At that time, I will gather all the adults in the family who can come and tell fortunes in public!"
Fortune telling!
Some people felt uneasy after hearing this.
Gu Dongsheng knew that Li Yuan's divination was probably prepared for his death.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s useful or not, what matters is that someone believes in it! Even someone must believe in it!
Thinking about what happened during the day, Gu Dongsheng suddenly realized that Li Yuan probably didn't want to threaten those people at all, but just wanted to increase the credibility of his own divination.
The real trick is hidden here.
The three years set by Li Yuan was just right for Gu Dongsheng.
He was exactly 46 years old at that time, and so was Li Yuan.
A project that will officially start in three years needs to be prepared now .
After a while, Li Yuan entered the second project.
"There is another thing this year, that is, the family foundation has not distributed dividends for several years, so we will take the opportunity to distribute it this year. Next, the family foundation will be directly merged into the federation, regardless of the proportion."
"This time, the total amount of funds to be distributed as dividends is 3.6 trillion! Each share will receive 3.6 billion."
At first, one copy was worth only 50 million.
