Chapter 693 Friction! (Seeking monthly votes)
The housing allocation policy of Gulou Factory was quite fair and transparent within the entire industrial system of Beijing.

Even so, human greed is insatiable.

When there are a lot of people, you can encounter all sorts of strange people!
Wu Zhi casually mentioned a few employees who had done a lot of bizarre things in order to get housing earlier.

Of course, in the end, their efforts not only failed, but also brought them severe punishment.

It was only later that Wu Zhi learned that those new employees were all street urchins who had spent their time on the streets.

It is estimated that he gained an advantage by using reckless methods while hanging out on the streets, and thought he could do the same in Gulou Factory.

As a result, he ran headfirst into a metal plate.

The one who caused the biggest commotion even brought his parents, brothers, in-laws, and even his brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

The commotion was so great that it even alerted the streets.

Then, the whole family sat on the cold benches in the security department's office for a whole day until their minds finally calmed down.

Subsequently, this person was directly handed over by the Gulou factory to BAIC, which had intercepted the automobile assembly line.

The others who caused the most trouble were all sent to farms outside the city.

"Dad, some people are just ungrateful wretches; there's no need to be polite to them!"

Wu Aidang curled his lip and said, "The welfare benefits at Gulou Factory would make those workers on Hong Kong Island green with envy!"

"That can't be right, I've heard the wages in Hong Kong are quite high!"

"Haha, high wages mean high living costs!"

Wu Ai Dang sneered, "You have no idea how disgusting it is that bunch of real estate makers who follow the British devils' orders!"

"Pork on Hong Kong Island costs fifteen dollars a pound!"

"The price of rice over there is more than ten times that of the inland areas!"

"Other daily necessities are all more than ten times the price in the mainland!"

"The most outrageous thing is the housing prices and rental costs!"

When he mentioned pigeon coops, even though he had seen them many times, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Despite earning more than ten times more than their mainland counterparts, their living conditions are far worse.

Now it was Takeshi's turn to be shocked.

Little did he know that housing costs were the real expense on Hong Kong Island!
If a company on Hong Kong Island, like a state-owned enterprise, were to rent housing to its employees at such unbelievably low prices, it would cause a huge uproar.

The Hong Kong British government would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen!

What a joke! They managed to win over the hearts of the lower classes on Hong Kong Island with their public rental housing plan, which was all talk and no action.

If any company were to adopt the practices of mainland state-owned enterprises, it would directly expose the hypocrisy of the Hong Kong British government.

They only release a few hundred public rental housing units a year, are they trying to fob off beggars?
Seeing the old man's surprise, Wu Aidang was quite dismissive.

The wealthy in Hong Kong Island live a very comfortable life, but for the poor and ordinary people, it is not a good place.

"What projects were finalized during your recent return?"

Wu Zhi changed the subject, asking curiously, "You've made quite a stir, I bet you've achieved quite a bit, haven't you?"

"Isn't it the same old thing?"

Wu Aidang casually replied, "Build a factory and a hotel!"

"It's nothing more than putting pressure on the British in Hong Kong; the actual trade agreement is just that!"

"What do you mean by that?" "State-owned enterprises lack the motivation to change, and private enterprises are not strong enough!"

"Unless a powerful leading enterprise takes the lead, it won't be so easy to make a big splash!"

"Didn't Aiguo say that white goods have a promising future?"

Wu Zhi lowered his eyes and said slowly, "There's been no action from Nanhua, so why not take advantage of a bunch of mainland state-owned enterprises?"

"Dad, it's best to let this matter rest for a while!"

Wu Ai's tone turned somber, and a rare hint of displeasure appeared between his brows. He said in a deep voice, "There are some voices in the country saying that Nanhua's current situation is entirely due to domestic support!"

"They feel that South China's feedback to the domestic market is not enough!"

At this point, Shai laughed and said, "With just a few words, you've erased all the hard work and achievements of my brother and his team. Amazing!"

Wu Zhi remained silent with a gloomy expression, clearly quite displeased.

"So, my brother gave some advice to people in China!"

Wu Ai sneered, "Aren't some people jealous of my brother's achievements? Then let's create opportunities for them!"

"The land of a thousand islands is such a wonderful place!"

"Back then, that person who came to power through dishonest means conveniently allowed certain people in the country to go there and raise their flags!"

"Putting everything else aside, both Borneo and Timor are great places to start a business!"

He then sneered, "As for the outcome, Father, you should know!"

"Big Brother's actions have definitely offended some people!"

"As you suggest, we won't start any new collaborative projects for now. We've already had enough collaborations!"

"Perfect timing! The port areas in Nanhua are currently developing new districts, and I'm interested in setting up a few white goods manufacturing bases!"

"Nanhua plans to compete fiercely with smaller home appliance companies in the international market!"

"When the time is right, we will cooperate with domestic companies to further expand the white goods market!"

Wu Zhi remained silent for a long time before finally nodding to indicate that he understood.

He never expected that the cooperation between China and South China would encounter such a thing, which is really not a happy thing.

In fact, there are even more infuriating things that Wu Ai Party hasn't said.

Previously, the paging group company, which was established by Wu Aiguo and executed by Huo Daheng, had attracted the attention of some people in China.

After more than a decade of development, the paging group company, jointly funded by Nanhua and the Huo family, is now the largest pager communications group in Asia.

Paging networks have been established on Hong Kong Island, Macau Island, and even in Taiwan.

Meanwhile, in Siam and Malaysia, major cities for Filipino domestic helpers in Southeast Asia, a fairly large paging network has been jointly established with local telecommunications companies.

Even the pager business has penetrated into the United States and the territory of Little Life, though on a small scale.

It can be said that at this time, the paging group was one of the world's leading telecommunications giants.

The shipment volume of pagers alone exceeded a staggering 110 million units!

The sales outlets, repair shops, and parts suppliers that rely on pagers form a massive industrial chain involving hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.

The most profitable business is still paging. Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of paging calls are made every day, which is a glittering river of gold.

Similarly, thanks to its astonishing profitability and enormous influence, Hong Kong Island Paging Group became one of the world's top 500 companies in the early 1980s, and even ranked within the top 200.
