Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Guangzhou, Huacheng Square.

A large number of people gathered here with their partners or friends, holding New Year's greeting balloons, and their eyes were all fixed on the "slender waist" not far away.

As a landmark building in Cantonese, the Little Slender Waist attracts a large number of tourists every year to visit and play.

When the last minute of 2016 arrived, countless people began to count down.

"59!"

"58!"

"57!"

Their voices were loud and powerful, and everyone's gaze towards the slender waist was full of anticipation for life.

They can personally feel whether the country has become stronger and whether the social welfare system has been further improved.

For example, the universal free medical care implemented some time ago. According to incomplete statistics, the number of patients receiving treatment nationwide has increased fivefold.

Why is there such a big increase?
The reason is very simple, that is, workers gradually develop the habit of seeing a doctor.

In the past, people could just get over minor illnesses, such as colds and fevers. After all, a trip to the hospital would cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, so people simply couldn't afford to see a doctor.

Now that universal medical care is free, who would be willing to bear the consequences and not get treated?

Precisely because of the sharp increase in demand for medical resources, a large number of vacancies in medical and nursing positions have emerged, which can just meet the employment needs of medical and nursing students during the graduation season.

Medical treatment is free.

The pension amount has been increased.

The number of months that unemployment benefits can be received has increased.

The state’s guarantee, coupled with the economic recovery, makes all citizens feel like they have traveled to a developed country.

"Look, baby!"

A girl snuggled in her boyfriend's arms, pointing at her slender waist and screaming excitedly.

Not only does the slender waist in the distance show the New Year countdown, but near the top of the tower there is also a message to all Dragon people: It is our responsibility to realize the great rejuvenation of Dragon Country!

"It is our duty to do so. Long live the Dragon Nation!"

"Long live the Dragon Kingdom!"

"Long live the prosperity of the Dragon Kingdom!"

Everyone in Huacheng Square was shouting, and some people took out bright red flags and held them high in the cold wind.

When the countdown of the Little Slender Waist reached zero, fireworks shot into the night sky from all directions and then exploded in the night sky.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

At this time, the night sky is like a piece of ink paper, with colorful and wonderful fireworks freely creating on it. All the people who make an appointment to celebrate the New Year send New Year greetings to each other.

"Happy New Year everyone! I wish you all great wealth and beauty this year. May the men be more handsome than Wu Yanzhu and the women be more beautiful than Liu Yifei!"

"Thank you Yu Yan, you too!"

"happy New Year to all!"

"Happy New Year!"

Amid the shouts of "Happy New Year", everyone was smiling and looking very proud. In the crowd, Custer David, who was broadcasting live, was also infected by the atmosphere and shouted "Happy New Year" in extremely poor Chinese.

Since YouTube was restricted, he simply started broadcasting on TikTok. After all, he did not sign any unequal contract.

It doesn’t matter if it’s not broadcast. Once it’s broadcast, the traffic will increase rapidly.

Nearly 44 people around the world hunkered down in his live broadcast room to watch the Dragon Country’s New Year countdown and feel its unique cultural charm.

"So this is Dragon Country's New Year, it's completely different from our Christmas, the cultural differences are so amazing!"

“This is why I like traveling, to experience the collision of cultures!”

"Although I have never been to Longguo, I like to eat at Longguo restaurants. If I have the chance, I will definitely go to Longguo to have a look!"

“I love this atmosphere!”

"There are still so many people not going home in the early hours of the morning. Don't they worry about their personal safety? I can't imagine it at all!"

The huge cultural differences and national conditions have caused netizens around the world to express their emotions.

Many people have heard about the safety of Dragon Country, but no one expected it to be so safe. There were actually so many people playing outside in the early morning. This is something that is totally unimaginable in other countries.

Even in Singapore, a country with caning laws, the night is not necessarily safe.

And on the other side.

A private room in a star-rated hotel in Shenzhen.

Chen Xing took off his tight suit jacket, forgot his identity, and played cards with his relatives and friends wearing only a simple white T-shirt.

"Double Kings connect to 34567, let's go!"

"drink!"

"You won again, oops!"

"Be more conscious of your cards. If you have more than three cards, you get one more cup. There is no upper limit. Don't keep fish!"

"I know, I know!"

"I did it!"

As they drank glass after glass of wine and heard the explosions of fireworks outside the window, everyone forgot about time, only knowing that this was one of the few days for gatherings.

……

The next day.

The sky is bright.

Chen Xing only felt that he had closed his eyes for a few minutes when he heard his mother Liang Ruolan's soft call.

"Xing, it's time to get up."

"Our family will be the host this year, so we need to decorate the ancestral hall in advance."

Although Chen Xing also stays in bed, just like ordinary people, he still knows his limits when it comes to important matters.

After thinking for a while, he sat up and said, "I'll wash up."

"Well, your father has already gone to the ancestral hall, so hurry up."

"Row."

Seeing that Chen Xing was awake, Liang Ruolan left the room with peace of mind.

"call--"

Chen Xing let out a long breath, adjusted his state, and then went to the bathroom.

After a quick wash, he returned to his room and changed into his regular clothes. Liang Ruolan also prepared breakfast and helped Chen Xing to fill it up. "Have some porridge before you go. Replenish your energy first."

"It's a good time to sober up."

After Chen Xing sat down, he drank the porridge and ate the fried dough sticks, and then ate two steamed buns. When he was about 50% full, he put down the bowl and said, "I'm full. I'll go help Mom first."

"Go."

Liang Ruolan began to clean up the dishes.

Chen Xing glanced at his phone. It was not even six o'clock yet. Perhaps only residents of eastern Guangdong would be so concerned about the Spring Festival sacrifices.

Twenty minutes drive.

Chen Xing arrived at the Chen Family Ancestral Hall.

There is a big banyan tree in front of the Chen Family Ancestral Hall, which is said to have a history of a hundred years. It is a Feng Shui treasure land with "blessings". Chen's descendants need to come to the ancestral hall to burn paper money and burn incense during festivals.

"Here comes Ah Xing."

As soon as Chen Xing parked the car, Chen Yapeng came out holding the first incense.

"Just arrived." Chen Xing looked around and didn't know when Chen Yapeng arrived. The ancestral hall had been almost decorated and Changhong had been hung at the door.

"I'm almost done. You just need to light the first incense stick and then the Changhong. Leave the rest to me." Chen Yapeng handed over three thumb-sized sticks of first incense. The incense walls of these three sticks had gold foil engravings of "prosperity", "abundant wealth" and "may your wishes come true".

Chen Xing took the first incense, glanced at Chen Yapeng's dark circles and said, "Dad, did you do this all night?"

"I saw you drank a little too much last night. Besides, you just returned to Shenzhen not long ago, so you should take more rest. I will take care of these clan activities." Chen Yapeng said with a calm smile.

Although clan culture is prevalent in eastern Guangdong province, in recent years, more and more young people have been unwilling to get involved in clan activities, and only attend them for the sake of their parents' face.

Of course.

This cannot be blamed on young people.

Clan culture was prevalent in the past because living conditions were harsh and people had to stick together to fill their stomachs, similar to a tribe.

But with the development of technology, people no longer need to rely on clans to fill their stomachs, but instead rely on families. As a result, people have less contact with each other and eventually become strangers with a certain blood relationship.

Chen Xing neither rejects nor actively participates in clan activities. He adopts a moderate attitude.

"Chen Xing!"

"Yapeng!"

"Why are you here so early?"

While Chen Xing and Chen Yapeng were talking, an old man with white beard came over. He looked energetic and stared at Chen Xing.

He was none other than the 55th generation patriarch of the Chen family, Chen Xuan.

"Clan leader."

"Good morning, Chief."

Chen Yapeng and Chen Xing greeted each other.

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, then explained his purpose, "Usually everyone comes here at this time to help decorate the ancestral hall. I didn't expect you to finish it so quickly. You are worthy of being the two CEOs of Longxing Group. God rewards hard work!"

"you flatter me."

Chen Yapeng smiled and continued, "It's mainly because Ah Xing drank too much last night. I wanted to finish it early so that he could have more rest."

"Yes, it's time to rest more."

Chen Xuan nodded, looked at Chen Xing again and said, "After all, Ah Xing is not only responsible for Longxing Group, but also represents us in Shenzhen City. He cannot overwork himself."

"Actually, I'm not that hypocritical, so let's not talk about whether I'm tired or not."

Chen Xing responded calmly.

"That's right. Ah Xing is only 30 years old this year, and he is full of vigor and vitality. When I was your age, I could kill a few tigers." Chen Xuan laughed and joked to himself.

"lets change a topic."

He looked at the Changhong that had been set up, glanced at Chen Xing and Chen Yapeng and said, "Light the fire, you are the host this year."

"I'll get it."

Chen Xing moved.

The so-called host is the family that takes care of all the affairs of the ancestral hall. It rotates every year, and this year it happens to be Chen Xing's turn.

As for the so-called Changhong, it is actually a long strip of firecrackers, which implies prosperity from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Chen Xing first came into the ancestral hall, lit the first incense stick and inserted it into the incense burner, then came to Changhong outside and took out the lighter he carried with him.

"pat-"

"Whoo-"

In just a moment, the fuse was burned out.

Many people are afraid to set off firecrackers because the fuse is too fast and the explosion happens almost in an instant.

As the "crackling" sound came, more and more "relatives" came upon hearing the news, and green smoke enveloped the entire ancestral hall.

Not a moment.

The exciting sound of gongs and drums rang out.

The lion dance team, which had been waiting for a long time, also came with the sound of gongs and drums, and there were people distributing red envelopes, which attracted the surrounding relatives to scramble for them.

Chen Yapeng did not lie to Chen Xing, he had indeed made all the arrangements.

"Dong dong qiang——"

"Dong dong qiang——"

"Dongdong, Dongdongqiang——"

After the lion dance, there was the dragon dance. The entire Chen Family Ancestral Hall was very lively and attracted many people from outside the clan to come and watch.

Of course.

They mostly took pictures of Chen Xing.

After all, he is the CEO of a trillion-dollar group and the current "No. 1 in technology". It is not easy to meet him.

You know, ordinary people will never meet a trillion-dollar CEO, let alone the director of a district police station.

……

While the whole country of Dragon Kingdom was celebrating the Spring Festival, the whole country of the United States, far across the ocean, could not believe that this was true.

Just now, Hanxing Group announced its withdrawal from the US stock market.

[Dear shareholders, investors and friends from all walks of life:

In view of the company's strategic development considerations and business focus adjustments, Hanxing Group has decided after careful study to officially withdraw from the U.S. stock market from now on.

In the past, Hanxing Group has received support and attention from a large number of investors in the U.S. stock market. However, with the changes in the global market environment and the needs of the company's own development, we believe that withdrawing from the U.S. stock market at this time will be more conducive to concentrating resources and focusing on the expansion and innovation of core businesses to achieve longer-term development goals.

Regarding the impact that this withdrawal may have on investors, Hanxing Group will formulate a reasonable compensation plan. We will fully consider the interests of investors and ensure that the compensation measures are fair, just and transparent. The specific compensation plan will be announced in the near future. Investors are requested to pay attention to the company's official channels for the latest information. ]
If it was just Hanxing Group, it would not be able to shock the whole country. Other companies that withdrew from the US stock market this time include KEP Power Company, KT Telecom Company, SK Mobile Operation Company, LG Group...

But is this the limit?
Do not!
In addition to the peninsula, well-known large companies in the island country such as Sony, Tokyo Electron, Softbank, and Nintendo have all chosen to delist.

As Japanese and Korean companies delist, Chinese companies will naturally be included.

Companies like Alibaba, Baidu, and JD.com have chosen to delist from the US stock market and take their shares back to the Chinese stock market.

Perhaps many people may wonder, didn’t Alibaba, Baidu, and JD.com go public in the United States first? Why can they also go public in Hong Kong for the second time?

To understand this, you must figure out how to go public.

The so-called listing actually means turning a private company into a public enterprise. The founder needs to put out a portion of the equity for financing, which is the stock in the secondary market.

If you want to be listed in the United States, you must first confirm three years of continuous profitability. Secondly, you must determine your share of the secondary market and the stock quota for each secondary market.

For example, if you hold 100% of the shares and want to list the shares in both the United States and Hong Kong, you will need to reasonably allocate the proportion of shares in each market.

The disadvantage of dual-market listing is that it is easy to be seized, but the advantage is that it is easy to raise funds, which is suitable for innovative enterprises.

Chinese, Japanese and South Korean companies collectively announced their delisting, which caused an epic plunge in the U.S. stock market. The index returned to the level of 2007 and the circuit breaker was triggered twice, causing countless U.S. stock investors to cry out in despair.

Davic almost fainted when he saw the dense delisting announcements, but fortunately his willpower was strong enough.

“Japan and South Korea!”

"How dare you betray us, Japan and South Korea!"

He was furious!

You know, Japan and South Korea have always been the blood bags of the United States, and they are blood suppliers that are harvested from time to time.

The way things are going now is obviously that China, Japan and South Korea have reached some kind of agreement.

However, what Davic didn't know was that the delisting of Japanese and Korean companies was just a small matter. At the US military base in the Asia-Pacific, General Tim Lillard received a notice from Japan and South Korea that he needed to withdraw all troops from Japan and South Korea within 15 days.

note!

It’s notification, not negotiation!
This made Tim Lillard instantly furious, and he thought of driving an aircraft carrier for a stroll to let the two island countries see what the wrath of a king is!
But just as he gave the order, the headquarters ordered a retreat.

This made Tim Lillard extremely puzzled and he didn't understand why he had to retreat.

Not to mention Tim Lillard, his immediate superior didn't understand either. In their view, Japan and South Korea were both easy to manipulate.

But what they don’t know is that the U.S. Navy, Army and Air Force are not afraid of Japan and South Korea, but the Dragon Country that has reached a cooperation with them, and this Dragon Country may have already mastered the "electromagnetic gun"!
With the conceptual weapon of electromagnetic gun, they really dare not act rashly!
