"Take the initiative [to do good]?" Lin Youde and others looked puzzled.
Zhou Yujie stood up, supported the table with both hands, and said, "In fact, the Internet giants have the word "evil" in their genes. Because the attributes of the Internet ultimately form a monopoly, and after the monopoly, they will inevitably bring the ability to do "evil".
If monopoly companies in ordinary industries have good intentions, they can avoid the emergence of [evil] to a certain extent, but in fact, this is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, because capital itself pursues profits, and they cannot allow a monopoly to not seek the highest profit.
Internet platforms are more special because different industries can be replaced across industries. Monopolyists and oil tycoons in the steel industry cannot defeat it. However, the online shopping industry may be replaced by social giants or search giants. Or, like now, with the rise of the mobile Internet, new challengers will appear and subvert the previous giants.
Therefore, in order to maintain its position, Internet platforms must do [evil], because if you don’t do evil, others will have more funds and stronger strength, and then they will challenge you in turn, and you may win or lose, but no one dares to gamble.
Even JD.com, which was successfully started by ordinary people, last year Liu Qiangdong personally announced that he would pay social security to each courier and handle high-quality accommodation. We know that this is what we say, but social security is real.
But I can conclude that this model cannot last for a few years because the competitors did not do so, and the cost of the competitors was even lower. Within three or five years, this burden would suppress Liu Qiangdong and could only adopt the outsourcing model."
"This is a process of bad money driving out good money. Unless the law intervenes forcibly, there will never be a solution. The dragon slayer will become an evil dragon, no matter what his original intention is." Lin Youde said after thinking for a while.
Without legal interference, the giant that does not blacken cannot compete with the blacken one, and the market will eventually choose the latter. Even if the former forms a monopoly, capital interference will also affect the company's decision-making during the financing process.
To take a step back, all Internet giants are going bankrupt now, and the market will compete again, but the giants that will be monopolized will become the same later.
The only thing that can solve this problem is the law!
"Yes, that's it." Zhou Yujie nodded and said, "Of course, there may not be big capitalists in this world who think about ordinary people.
I am not a saint, so it is impossible to let me give up my career. Besides, even without headlines, there will be other companies. At least now we need to understand what we are doing. So what I hope is that we can do more things that are beneficial to society and ordinary people within our ability."
Zhu Wenbin said: "We are not bad at the benefits of our employees, and it is also mutually beneficial to third-party partners. Even our outsourcing takeaway team is responsible for certain monitoring to ensure that they will not be overly oppressed.
Mr. Zhou, which aspect do you want to reform?”
Today, the main purpose of monitoring the outsourcing team is to prevent local small capitalists from maliciously exploiting, resulting in a worse service attitude of delivery workers and thus affecting the user experience. However, in this process, the basic rights of delivery workers will also be supervised and guaranteed.
"I'm not talking about internal problems in our company, but external problems." Zhou Yujie said: "I want to build an Internet-based charitable fund, and the name of this company is Shuidichou."
"Shuidie Chop?" Lin Youde's heart moved when he heard the name and asked, "Is it mainly to raise funds?"
"Of course, otherwise, with the amount of funds we have in hand, we don't have enough development, so what kind of charity can we do?" Zhou Yujie shook his head and said with a smile: "We don't have funds, but we have a lot of data in hand. Combining these data, we can achieve unprecedented results."
[Use data to do charity]? The few people here are elites. Although they don’t know the details, once this concept is proposed, they have a rough model in their minds.
Zhou Yujie stood up, wrote the word charity on a whiteboard with a blackboard pen, and then said: "In fact, when doing charity, the important thing is not how much money you have, but how much ability you have. The Bill Gates Foundation in the United States is known as the world's largest charity fund, but you all know what the charity fund in the United States is.
Many of the charitable projects of their foundations are used to transfer funds and are more keen on building basic infrastructure projects. They cannot be said to be useless to society, but their efficiency is too low.
What I have to do is to save lives directly. As for other projects such as education, environment, and infrastructure will not be involved for the time being."
The simplest routine for American charity funds is that the foundation announces donation to a school, and the price is reported very high, and then the controller contracts it out of another company. In this way, half of the funds will be transferred smoothly. Because it is a charity project, there may be discounts in taxes and fees.
Or donate it to a prestigious university and then exchange it for the conditions for your future generations to enroll, and you can also gain fame. Your company may also receive a large number of free advertisements.
However, these charitable funds rarely directly participate in donating funds to life that are seriously ill or are about to die because the charity process is too simple and unprofitable, and at the same time it will not become famous.
In later generations, Shuidichou's most basic service is to save lives, but its commercial purpose is too strong and it will fail. This time, Toutiao will do this project in person.
Zhou Yujie took out his phone and posted a news link to the group on Quxin. He said, "You guys take a look at this news."
After Lin Youde and others opened it, they spent two minutes to read it. The news inside was a 2-year-old baby girl who suffered from leukemia but her family was unable to treat it because Gleevec, a targeted drug that kept her alive, cost 40,000 yuan a month.
Zhou Yujie continued: "The price of anti-cancer targeted drugs has always been very expensive, so expensive that even ordinary employees of our headlines can't bear it, let alone ordinary families.
However, in this regard, due to the research and development costs of anti-cancer drugs, patent cycles, pharmaceutical companies' profits and our domestic wages, most domestic families cannot afford this medicine. There may be no right or wrong here. We cannot change the price of the medicine, but can we help this family?"
"We can donate money to help, but we can only help this person we know." Zhong Guangwei said in a deep voice. Everyone is kind-hearted. When he meets a cute baby who suffers from such terrible cancer, he will also help, but he also knows that Zhou Yujie's meaning is definitely not just referring to this case, but how to help a group problem.
"I donate it, I'm already making arrangements." Zhou Yujie said: "But Lao Zhong is right. The first question of charity is information!
Many people who need charitable help cannot know their information.
And who in this social group are willing to do this charity and help these people who have suffered disasters? The number of these people is actually very large. Countless people donate money in various disasters proves that in fact, everyone has a charity heart and is more or less willing to help others.
The lack of information in these two aspects has led to people in need of help but people who are able to help cannot provide help because they do not know who needs help.
So, we need to build a bridge here, which is what I want to talk about, a charity platform with big data as the core. We don’t need to pay our own money, but use data to build a fair platform with all over the country, and use the kindness and donations in society to save countless lives."
