Chapter 352 Public Funds
After seeing Zhao Meir off, Zhang Nianzu returned to the living room, where the clan members were waiting spontaneously.
Zhang Nianzu announced: "The accounts have been settled, and the Strongman Clan has a total of 44.3 billion yuan in public funds."
There was a low roar. After all, several hundred billion yuan was related to him. Most people in this hall were struggling on the poverty line, and this number was in line with their imagination of "huge".
Wei Biao was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "On average, each person gets less than 50 million. It seems that my supermarket is gone."
Everyone then realized what was happening, and some people also realized that the 40 billion yuan included real estate and stocks, and there was even less cash that could be used immediately. They couldn't let Grandpa sell all of these overnight and then have everyone split the money and go their separate ways.
At this time, Du Heng said calmly: "Do you know why it is so little?" He then added slowly, "Because it is just some change."
Everyone's eyes were focused on him. Du Heng sat firmly on the sofa and spread his hands, saying, "The real public funds of the Strongman Clan are still deposited in a Swiss bank. This 44.3 billion is just the interest generated by that public fund."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into dead silence!
Du Heng seemed very satisfied with the effect he created. He smiled and said, "Of course, it would be an exaggeration to say that it was all interest. The reason why there are so many is because of my management over the years. In the past few decades, the Strongman Clan has been the best at managing money, Liu Yuejin, but the best at making money is me, Du Heng."
Wei Biao said with a dry mouth: "How much is the principal?"
Du Heng said: "Zhang Nianzu, come here."
Zhang Nianzu walked over for the sake of money. Du Heng looked behind them and saw no one. He suddenly took out his phone and quickly pressed a number on it. Zhang Nianzu silently counted the digits of the number, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions, tens of billions... Du Heng's hand did not mean to stop, and Zhang Nianzu's eyes widened. Finally, Du Heng solemnly shook the screen of his phone at him: "This is the number of the public funds of the strongman tribe, this time it is US dollars."
Zhang Nianzu said with a complicated expression: "Are you sure?"
Du Heng said, "I have memorized this number several times every day for the past 20 years. Would you make a mistake if it were you?" He added, "10% of this is the private property of my grandfather's lineage. You can use it as you wish."
Wei Biao couldn't help but look over and saw that Du Heng had already deleted the string of numbers.
Yang Jie, Zhao Qing and others asked, "Grandpa, how much public funds are there?"
Zhang Nianzu just whispered, "Not a small amount." He now finally understood why so many people had been repeating to him recently: When you know the amount of money, you will understand that everything you do is worth it.
Yang Jie whispered to Xu Wei: "Did you see it?"
Xu Wei said helplessly: "I can only be considered a clairvoyant, not a x-ray vision."
Wei Biao said: "Just tell me whether I can open a small shop or a supermarket ?"
Someone nearby said silently: "I think it's probably Wal-Mart."
Du Heng looked up at Zhang Nianzu and said, "I have sent an electronic letter to the bank through an encrypted channel, changing the name of the receiver to yours, just before that girl surnamed Zhao came to count the change with me. In other words, in two years, you will be the owner of this money."
Yang Jie said: "You are straightforward this time, you didn't play any tricks, right?"
Zhao Cai'e suddenly appeared and said, "The reason why he was so happy was because he was afraid that I would do something to his daughter."
Du Heng did not deny it. He smiled calmly and said, "Zhang Nianzu, it is unrealistic for you to manage such a large sum of money by yourself. It's okay for the girl surnamed Zhao to look after the change for you, but in order to make the public funds operate healthily, you still have to find someone you can really trust. The question is, is the person you trust really trustworthy? Your father made this mistake back then - don't make the same mistake we made."
Zhang Nianzu asked: "Do you have any suggestions?"
Du Heng said, "Let the rules be more important than people, and establish a law for the tribe. Its function is that no matter who dies, it cannot hinder or affect the purpose of public funds serving the tribe. The person who does this must be very wise, loyal and brave. He must be proficient in economics, law, and even psychology." He looked around the hall and said, "Is there anyone here who can do this?"
Zhang Xiaoliang said: "I can give it a try. From today on, I will take this as my goal and work hard to become such a person."
Zhang Nianzu said with relief: "I'll wait for you."
Du Heng said: "If we want to achieve this goal, you are the one who plays a crucial role."
Zhang Nianzu asked: "Me?"
Du Heng nodded and said, "The ancestors of all generations have been in charge of public funds, which has become a means for them to control the tribesmen. Of course, this is not wrong, but you are different from them. You wholeheartedly want all the tribesmen to live a good life. You are willing to retreat behind the scenes and have no desire for power. I hope that after you have tasted the sweetness, you will not forget your original intention."
Zhang Nianzu said: "I also work hard."
Du Heng said to the crowd, "I have a few more words to say to you. These words apply not only to you, but also to the entire clan. Of course, part of that public fund is made up of the private property of all clan members, but public funds are public funds. Most of it and its main function is to serve the entire clan. The amount of private property you have depends on how much your ancestors have contributed to the Qiangren clan, so the amount under your name varies. But even if you have 100 million to your name, it is impossible for you to take it all out, divide the money and leave."
Everyone was stunned, some were confused.
Instead, Zhang Nianzu said, "Since it is allocated to individuals, they can take it and store it freely, so why can't they take it away?"
Du Heng said, "If you take your money, it means that you have nothing to do with the Qiangren Clan from now on. You have been lavish all your life, but can you guarantee that your descendants will always be rich? So it is taboo to take the money and leave. No one is willing to do it, and no one dares to do it. Besides, not everyone has private property. A large part of the clan members have very little property and live on the interest generated by public funds. Those who have money in their names just get more interest."
Now everyone went from being stunned to being terrified. They realized that even though their comrades who fought side by side with them might be billionaires, they were still extremely poor...
Wei Biao stamped his feet and beat his chest, saying, "My Wal-Mart... oh no, my supermarket... I'd better open a small shop!"
Zhang Xiaoliang said: "Opening a supermarket is a legitimate reason. If you have money, I think you can take it out."
Zhang Nianzu said: "That's right, money is money, blood is blood, how can we generalize them?"
Wei Biao hesitated and said, "I definitely don't have any money - I'm not one of you at all."
