The reason why Li Mu has always attracted the attention and love of CCTV is because of his sense of social responsibility, which is unparalleled among young entrepreneurs in the country.
Since starting his business, he has established several charitable funds, large and small, and each one is financially transparent and well-run. He is a philanthropist who truly spends every penny wisely and wisely.
Compared with those charitable foundations where no one knows where the money was used after donating money, Li Mu is simply a model in the charity world;
Comparing it to the various inheritance tax avoidance funds that rich Americans have set up for their children in the name of charitable foundations in order to avoid inheritance taxes and personal income taxes, Li Mu is simply a role model among role models.
In addition to practical actions, Li Mu's spirit and attitude are also very consistent with CCTV's values. One of the media's favorite words now is "positive energy," and the three words "positive energy" were first mentioned by Li Mu.
As a young Chinese person and a Chinese entrepreneur, you must have enough positive energy and promote positive energy. This has also been Li Mu's attitude all along, which has given great encouragement to young people all over the world.
Now, Li Mu has proposed a new code of conduct for entrepreneurs, which is: "benefit others and benefit yourself."
A considerable number of entrepreneurs have made a fortune by benefiting themselves at the expense of others. Selling counterfeit products, engaging in piracy and infringement, and making false advertising are all businesses that harm others but benefit themselves. However, many people rely on these practices to benefit themselves at the expense of others. tricks and earned himself huge wealth.
Automobile manufacturers that reduce allocations, ride-hailing platforms that constantly increase prices, real estate speculators that drive up housing prices, and wholesalers that speculate on garlic prices are all benefiting themselves by harming others.
As for those thunderous P2P platforms and the harmful 714 anti-aircraft guns, it can be said that they are harming others and benefiting themselves. They continue to accumulate fat and sinful fat by eating human blood steamed buns.
Li Mu can promise that he will never touch these things for the rest of his life, but he cannot stop other profit-seeking capitalists from using these tricks to make money crazily.
However, he can give entrepreneurs a reminder in advance, reminding them that as entrepreneurs, they must aim to benefit others and themselves, which can also be regarded as a positive guide for the entrepreneurial environment.
CCTV reporter Chen Jing guessed Li Mu's intention and asked: "Mr. Li, benefiting others and benefiting yourself should be your expectation for all entrepreneurs, right?"
Li Mu said seriously: "Like all entrepreneurs, I am an entrepreneur, so I am not qualified to have 'expectations' for them. However, this is indeed my personal best wish for the entire business market. This is It’s not something I can achieve just by thinking about it, but it depends on the joint efforts of all entrepreneurs.”
Chen Jing nodded repeatedly and said: "Mr. Li, judging from the global data we have access to, since Makino Technology made a huge breakthrough in the global development, the entrepreneurial behavior of young people around the world has grown tremendously. I believe A considerable number of these young entrepreneurs are influenced by you, so I would like to ask you a question for the majority of young entrepreneurs."
Li Mu said: "Please tell me."
Chen Jing asked: "Excuse me, do you have any advice or experience to impart to young people who are currently in the entrepreneurial stage?"
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "Starting a business is just like when we are still studying in school, except that what we create in school is academics, and what we create in society is career."
"However, in my opinion, the two kinds of entrepreneurship are actually different paths to the same goal. Young people in school must take their studies seriously, because this is the cornerstone of your future when you enter society, and young entrepreneurs must also take their studies seriously. Your own career, because it is the cornerstone of your life.”
"In school, the teacher taught us the Five Lectures, Four Beauties and Three Loves. This is to hope that while we take care of our studies, we should also take care of our moral character and love for our country and nation;"
"In society, we may no longer have teachers, and we have to find our own way in everything, but I still hope that young entrepreneurs, while taking care of their careers, should also take care of their own moral character, the moral character of the company, and the ethics of the company. Love of country and nation.”
“For a company, making money is the goal, but it is not the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal should be to create social value while creating economic value, or promote technological development, or promote social progress, or create more tax revenue and employment for the society. post."
Having said this, Li Mu sat up straight and said seriously: "Entrepreneurship itself is to obtain wealth from society. Only when you create value for society will society be willing to hand over wealth to you."
Chen Jing nodded in agreement, looking at Li Mu with admiration in her eyes.
Immediately, she asked Li Mu again: "Mr. Li, there were many overseas media reports some time ago, saying that your relationship with Wall Street in the United States is very tense, and you also announced that you are cooperating with China Bank Securities to prepare for the IPO of Makino Technology in Hong Kong. , is the rumor true? Why did you have a quarrel with Wall Street? "
Li Mu said: "The rumors are true, and I also tweeted at the time to express my disappointment with Wall Street. The reason I was very disappointed with them was because they wanted to take advantage of Google's listing to hype the Internet concept, and then Create a big market trend for Internet stocks."
“However, in my opinion, the Internet is still far from being able to usher in a wave of world-class market trends. At this time, capitalists forcefully creating big market trends is tantamount to killing chickens and seizing eggs for the Internet industry, ordinary investors, and stockholders. Looting, this is what I just said, benefiting oneself at the expense of others."
…
That evening, CCTV's full follow-up interview with Ele.me and its exclusive interview with Li Mu were broadcast on Xinwen Network.
The first half of this news allowed viewers across the country to experience the convenience of online food ordering. They were not only very interested in this new model, but also hoped that their cities could also open this kind of business as soon as possible.
In the second half of the news, audiences across the country once again saw Li Mu’s sense of social responsibility.
Before the end of the interview, Li Mu made a summary of Ele.me, in which he mentioned one issue in particular. He said: "Ele.me is committed to developing business in every city across the country and providing services in every city across the country. There are enough jobs.”
“In this way, some of the labor force who were forced to abandon their wives and children and work abroad in order to make a living can be allowed to return to their hometowns to work. In this way, they can work in front of their own homes without having to abandon their wives and children and go to far away places. Thousands of kilometers away in the south or north, they can be closer to home, and their children can avoid becoming left-behind children.”
“The wave of migrant workers stems from the uneven speed of economic development. Economically developed areas require a large number of laborers, while economically underdeveloped areas have a large number of idle laborers. Therefore, economically underdeveloped areas begin to send labor to economically developed areas to achieve a mutually complementary balance.”
"However, this balance comes at the cost of hundreds of millions of people leaving their homes. Although there are benefits in promoting economic development, there are also disadvantages in the separation of families and the huge pressure during the Spring Festival."
"The most ideal situation is not the export of labor force, but the local digestion of labor force. If in a city with a population of three million, 5% of the people work outside, then the labor force exported every year will be 150,000. If we Ele.me can provide 2,000 jobs for riders in a small city, and our Taobao logistics can also provide 2,000 jobs for delivery people. Then we can create 4,000 jobs for the local area and provide The local area retains 4,000 laborers and 4,000 intact families.”
“If we continue to launch more new business models in the future and continue to create local jobs, then tens of thousands of people may be able to stay and work locally in the future. If other companies create more local jobs like us, then In the future, more people will be able to find a job that supports their family on their doorstep."
After hearing Li Mu's words, many migrant workers suddenly saw the prospect of returning to their hometowns to work.
They felt that since Li Mu wanted to recruit millions of riders across the country, when he expanded the Ele.me business to his hometown, he might as well go home and become an Ele.me rider.
Because in this way, they can live with their wives, children, and parents, and while supporting their families, they can take into account their children's education and their parents' support.
For them, this is something they have always dreamed of but it is difficult to achieve. Otherwise, they would not go to other places to work.
CCTV’s report made Ele.me win the heartfelt favor of viewers across the country. It also provided excellent soil for Ele.me’s development across the country.
Li Mu did not expect that Ele.me’s trial operation in Yanjing would attract such great attention across the country. This made him immediately feel that it was time for Ele.me to invest heavily in rapid development.
Immediately, he held a joint meeting of senior executives of Makino Technology and Taobao Technology. At the meeting, he announced that Ele.me Technology Co., Ltd. was officially established. At the same time, Makino Technology and Taobao Technology jointly invested 2 billion yuan for Ele.me. Quick start of preliminary business.
Of the two billion, Makino Technology will invest 70% and Taobao Technology will invest 30%. The two companies signed a memorandum of equity acquisition, that is: when conditions are mature, Ele.me Technology can be exclusively wholly owned by any company of Makino Technology or Taobao Technology. Holding, then the wholly-owned company only needs to pay the other company all the cash invested by the other party.
In other words, Ele.me is now equivalent to a dual-national individual. He receives resources from Makino Technology and Taobao Technology at the same time, and is also a fast mobile unit. When either of these two companies needs it, they can Complete the change in the shortest time and become a single-nationality individual.
In Li Mu’s plan, if Makino Technology obtains good listing conditions, Ele.me will immediately become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Makino Technology and be packaged and listed;
If you can't get very good listing conditions, then before going public, separate Ele.me from Makino Technology and make it your own son to Taobao Technology. Later, when Taobao goes public, you can take Ele.me with you.
This kind of cool operation would not be possible for anyone else, but it is too easy for Li Mu, because he is the majority shareholder of these two companies, and has 100% voting rights, which is equal to any decision-making of the two companies. It's all up to him!
