Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

He Yuzhu is not worried about the Malaysian economy, as he owns 90% of the industry and has more than 1.2 million employees and their families.

While continuing to expand the manufacturing industry and the supply chain for computers and mobile phones, there are concerns about a shortage of workers, as the industry is not yet able to meet basic requirements.

There are also two very important sectors: finance and agriculture. Increasing investment in the financial sector seems to make it difficult to have enough money, so one still needs to go out and borrow some more.

Two visits every three years is about right!

Rural areas are primarily concerned with grain production. Even with a small population, it's essential to have grain reserves. Having grain on hand provides peace of mind.

As for other non-agricultural industries, most of them are in the hands of overseas Chinese. Giving them to them is fine too. Aren't they just palm oil and natural rubber?

The area for grain planting should also be regulated. Even if the arable land area is insufficient, it should be made sufficient. The land for grain planting should be planned and nationalized.

Increase government subsidies for grain, increase investment in mechanization, and reduce the cost of grain cultivation!

The average annual grain ration per person should reach 1,000 jin!

We can import grain, but not too much. If there is a shortage of grain, we should build up grain reserves to feed the entire nation for a year.

Port construction is still mainly focused on industrial and agricultural export ships. My company also wants to get involved and have Sun Dewang expand the scale of the port and shipyard!

Qian Duobao's department store retail business and film company are what they lack... What else is missing? Let's discuss it further!

He Yuzhu thought for a long time and realized that there were still many projects missing and many industries needed to be expanded!

As for the military, it remains at the current scale; the Russians still have troops stationed there, so good weapons cannot be openly displayed in front of them.

The Americans aren't far away either; they're at war. If we really piss them off, what if they drop a few 'equality-of-all-trades' bombs?

Malaysia doesn't need 'equality for all' – bombs are a negative number!

I spent over a month at home with the children at the end of August. After they were reluctant to leave, I promised to bring them clothes and pretty toys when I came back, and only then did they agree to come back!

The three youngest children are like three little emperors; they're too young to reason with.

What do two- or three-year-old kids know?

The eldest daughter, He Minghui, was thirteen years old and never caused any trouble. The second son, He Mingzhi, and the third son, He Mingzhong, were the same. They understood that their father had to go out and told He Yuzhu to be careful and come back early.

The fourth sister, He Mingwan, and the fifth sister, He Mingxiao, explained things to them and they understood to some extent. They didn't cry or make a fuss. They just told He Yushui to be careful, come back soon, and bring a beautiful gift!

"Zhu Zi, they still prefer you to stay home with them. They cry and fuss when you go out, but they don't react at all when we go to work. We're such failures as mothers!"

"Who can you blame? You come home after get off work and are always losing your temper with them. You have no patience at all. No wonder the kids don't like you!"

"It's up to you. If they don't like it, we won't bother with them. Let them play if they don't go to school. Even if they go to elementary school, it's still mainly about playing. You don't need to worry about their studies."

Why worry about their studies? Minghui started studying at home at the age of twelve, and her teachers gave her very high praise.

Mingzhi and Mingzhong have always been among the top students in school, which is already very good. Why push them to study? Children should be playing.

"Dad is right. If we study hard, we can play more. We are also studying hard." This time, the second and third siblings agreed that this was the right thing to do.

"They're only at the top of the class, not first or second in the school. It's not as prestigious as I was back in school, always first place!" Zhou Songyu expressed strong opposition!

"Then what?"

"What's 'then'?"

"What my brother means is, what's the use of you being such a good student in school? You didn't use your talents for anything worthwhile. His studies aren't that great, but he's your boss!"

My brother's deepest point was that for children born into our family, grades are no longer important; personal ability is what matters most.

"What do you mean? I don't quite understand?" No one had ever explained this kind of knowledge to Zhou Songyu.

"Studying can be said to be a fair opportunity for a person to defy fate and change their destiny. If you can get into a good university from the lower class and have the ability, you can enter the upper class through ten or twenty years of hard work."

Is this true for students from poor families? But Mingzhong and his peers don't need to get into good universities; they are already high-ranking figures, the heirs of the Dongda Group, born that way!

No one can deny that even if he doesn't do it, he is still the eldest son of the He family. Do other people have such conditions?

Others strive to enter Rome after birth, but you and your children don't need to, because your elders and I have already made efforts and are already taking the children to stroll and shop in Rome.

This is what sets them apart from other children; the fundamental reason is that they don't need to defy fate!

"What do they need most?"

"Ability—the ability to recognize talent, and the ability to utilize talent effectively, making the best use of everyone's abilities. They don't even need to have exceptional abilities!"

The company also has a think tank-like body; listen to their advice and clarify the company's development goals!

"Is it like Zhao Youcai and the general managers of various departments in our company, who hold meetings to decide the company's development direction all the time?"

"That's right. My individual judgment isn't as accurate as theirs, which is based on market data and determined by a group of more than ten people. They report their findings, I review them, and then I decide on the final direction."

"That seems to make sense. Aren't you afraid they might have ulterior motives and try to undermine you?"

"This is a problem with your vision and personnel management. Everyone says I'm delegating power, but Zhao Youcai has just as much power as I do."

Who among them knew that I owned 90% of the company before it went public? Did they know that when Zhao Youcai transferred ten million yuan from the company, the finance department called me first before disbursing the funds?

Zhao Youcai has power, but he can't touch the company's finances. As for personnel power, I can overturn and rebuild it at any time. Zhao Youcai is just a worker with power.

He gained great power, had a high salary, and a knighthood. He had the highest treatment here, and his status was higher than that of most bosses. He also did his best!

Do you know which company is the most important in the Dongda Group?

"Finance department?"

"no."

"Administrative Office?"

"no!"

"......."

"I can't guess. Tell me which company it is."

"The security company is my direct subordinate; everyone in the company, from top to bottom, only answers to me."

"Why a security company?"

"The rainwater tells your sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law, you've never lived in your hometown, so you've never heard the saying, 'Power grows out of the barrel of a gun.'"

My brother has a security company. Anyone who gets their hands on any item from Dongda Group will have the chance to take it but not the chance to use it. That would be too costly. We need to think this through before we take any action.

Is it worth it?

"Leave no one alive! My uncle said that Dongda Group's security company is extremely powerful, instilling fear in many people, and is also used to intimidate our own staff. I understand!"

"Good to know. You're the most free person in the family. Come home early and spend time with the kids!"

"When there are too many children together, it gets too noisy, and I can't control them."

Still lazy!

"Mommy doesn't play with us, but Daddy plays with us and doesn't play with Mommy," He Mingyi said softly.

"No problem, Daddy will come back and play with Yi'er."

"Okay, Daddy, and lots and lots of pretty toys! I want a big warship model! A cannon model! And lots and lots of big models!"

"Haha, I'm back and brought you some big models. They might be mailed back, so son, be careful when you receive them!"

"Okay, Daddy!"
