Once the server was successfully built, from the very beginning of Nikon's establishment, all paper documents were converted to electronic versions. The heavily protected internal server looked insignificant to Xing Baohua.
Although he hasn't even stepped into the lab yet, nor has he seen any new products under development, it doesn't stop him from bringing out Nikon's stuff at some point.
He gave Kawaguchi Kanae a lot of instructions. There were many abstract things, as well as some concrete tasks for her to complete. In short, the tone became more probing.
After sending this man back to Japan, Xing Baohua finally had some time to relax.
He was just about to relax when Xie Yingying knocked on the door and came in to tell him that the Governor's secretary had called and the Governor had invited him to a charity gala that evening.
Charity galas are often something politicians and capitalists like to do, one for fame and the other for tax avoidance.
The Governor of Hong Kong wouldn't report such a charity gala; he was probably invited to make an appearance and happen to have time to meet and chat with Xing Baohua.
Xing Baohua asked Xie Yingying to reply that it would be over tonight.
The invitation arrived in less than an hour. Xing Baohua didn't bother to check who was organizing it or what kind of charity event it was.
He wasn't actually doing charity work in the past; he only went when someone approached him.
He doesn't even have enough money to spend right now, how can he possibly donate? Unless it's an inland charity.
Xie Yingying still read out the charity theme to Xing Baohua: a non-mainland food charity gala hosted by a certain Sir John Paul II.
Invited guests can bring out their unwanted or long-forgotten collections to donate for auction.
Auction proceeds go into a dedicated charity account. If there are no items to auction, money can be donated directly.
Everyone knows that donations can reduce taxes. Almost all wealthy businessmen do charity.
So-and-so has donated billions of dollars to charity over the years. It's unavoidable; money drives them to do it. Those who truly donate never publicize it.
Like Xing Baohua, who would rather pay taxes than donate to avoid them. Paying taxes allows for urban development, but while the money is used for tax avoidance, nobody knows where it actually goes.
Xie Yingying was unaware that Xing Baohua was troubled by these matters.
He asked, "What should we donate?"
"I'm not donating anything."
"Go empty-handed!" Xie Yingying was also going to such an occasion for the first time with Xing Baohua, and she didn't know many things about it.
“The Governor of Hong Kong doesn’t care whether I donate goods or money. The organizers didn’t know I was coming to Hong Kong and didn’t send me an invitation until I accepted the Governor’s invitation. That shows they don’t take me seriously. Those old-school businessmen look down on nouveau riche like me. Why should I care about them?”
Xing Baohua talked on and on, and Xie Yingying shook her head slightly as she listened.
"The more you act like this, the more they'll feel that you don't fit in with them," Xie Yingying remarked.
Xing Baohua frowned slightly, nodded, and said, "That's true. Let's try something different."
"What?"
"Take notes and put together a plan later."
"Go on," Xie Yingying said, having already prepared a pen and paper to take notes.
Xing Baohua said, "The theme is the auction of 10,000 learning machines and 50 computers."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Yingying was stunned. Wasn't this like throwing good money after bad?
Donating so much, and considering the food shortage outside of mainland China, the entire Hong Kong can't possibly absorb 10,000 learning machines!
"These learning machines and computers will be donated to primary and secondary schools in impoverished counties across the country. You can just auction off the invoices. The money for food shortages outside the mainland will come from these wealthy people. Just don't use the ex-factory price; increase the market price by 50%. This will save me a lot of taxes. The money that is tax-free in Hong Kong will just make up for the cost of my shipments."
Is this... appropriate?
Xing Baohua said with a smile, "Nothing could be more suitable. It means I basically didn't spend much money to sponsor 10,000 learning machines for the domestic market. Moreover, my charitable accumulation in Hong Kong will also increase."
Ten thousand learning machines only cost a few dollars! The cost price isn't even a million, but he's asking five or six million. The more he speculates, the more tax he gets off. He turns things around, and that's how he saves money.
Not only did it reduce his inventory, but it also ensured sufficient worker utilization. What a fantastic platform—a win-win plan!
I'll leave this to Xie Yingying to organize the plan. We'll also create a list of the donated items to be shipped, along with donation receipts and photos from the event.
In case someone says there's a lack of communication between Hong Kong and the mainland, it's unclear whether Xing Baohua actually delivered the goods to the schools in those impoverished counties. Therefore, we need to gather solid evidence.
This matter cannot be handled carelessly; we must do our best to manage it.
In the afternoon, Xing Baohua came to the safe house first.
Li Yuan has upgraded his equipment; he can even use servers to work, making the speed incredibly fast. There's no comparison.
Using a laptop with a wired connection is incredibly slow; just waiting for the page to buffer can take half a day.
The side closer to the main data center line is connected to the main server line, so the speed is incomparable.
It feels like suddenly being on a highway from a bumpy, narrow path, so I'm very serious about my work.
Xing Baohua's job for him was to find old bookworms.
First, look at his attitude; second, look at his competence.
Where is the old bookworm? Xiaotian tried to lock onto the owner several times but failed. The main problem is that the kid's internet speed is so slow that he just left a few words and got carried away.
After discovering he had already logged off the internet, the search could only be conducted based on traces. Furthermore, the other party used botnets and destructive methods to erase traces, making it impossible to find him.
The destructive methods used by Xing Baohua have been adopted by many trolls; they are a life-saving tactic and are very effective.
