Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

Sir Ho's remarks have raised an even bigger issue: the security of life after retirement has led to a surge in the number of marchers, including the current middle class.

No one cares about not having a pension; this reflects the saying "it's not poverty that's the problem, but inequality."

Dongda Group owns 50%, while Dongfang and Far Eastern Group own 35% to 38%. Their net income is lower than that of Dongda Group, and their pensions are less. Everyone understands this.

This is a matter of company profits, not the company's attitude. What about other companies? How much retirement savings do you have prepared?

Without you guys, what's the point of living? The company is just giving out extra money when you retire? Who are you kidding? Prove how much pension you're going to give out, don't just make empty promises!

This time the problem was more serious. Fortunately, no large-scale violence occurred. On the one hand, police officers were marching to demand higher wages and a one-time retirement pension.

The current one-time relief payment is only a little over 40,000 yuan. If workers' wages don't increase, it can only last for seven or eight years. What will they do after seven or eight years? What kind of work can they do when they are in their sixties or seventies?

The only option is to stay home and wait to die!

They also maintained order in the march!

The employees of several companies who had pensions were relieved, no longer needing to worry about their lives after retirement, and spent their free time watching the excitement.

This issue grew bigger and bigger, eventually going viral and prompting people in many countries to calculate how many years they could use their first pension payment.

In the end, apart from those who work in their hometowns, very few workers in other countries are satisfied. It seems like a lot, but when you calculate their wages and income, plus inflation, it's clear that they are not satisfied.

It's all deceptive!

Workers from more than twenty other countries have started taking to the streets to demand higher wages and increased pensions, not a one-time payment, but annual ones!

It's impossible, but wages have still increased. As for pensions, we can only discuss it further, but it will be increased.

"Our comrade He Yuzhu is very clever. He learned from the actual situations of both sides without simply copying them."

When the company has money, it serves the general public, alleviates their living pressure, and teaches them a skill.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime!

What lasts is the best!

"Hey, what you said is happening here too. They're demanding a pay rise and an increase in one-time retirement benefits. It's been causing quite a stir these past few days."

"It's not really your business. Just watch the fun when you're bored, adding a little spice to your life."

"Easier said than done."

"Zhu Zi, is there really no good solution here regarding retirement pensions? My employees treat me like a god; luckily, they're also registered under the Dongda Group."

"It can't be done here. Most of them are private factories, and the government isn't really in power. There's hope that enforcement will be possible after the handover."

Ideally, housing provident funds should be jointly contributed to for retirement by the government, employers, and employees, rather than by a single entity, which would place an enormous burden on them.

"You've done a great job. The staff are all thanking you. They even pour me water and bring it to me. At lunchtime, everyone makes room for me."

I never expected you to value education so much, not just for your own factory, but also for the next generation. That deserves praise!

"Acknowledge my greatness; these are all trivial matters, not worth mentioning. I am the First Saint King of all realms."

"Brother, you're getting cocky again! I don't believe you're talking about the next generation of Hong Kong."

"He Yushui, you see through me but won't say anything. Be careful, or I'll beat you up. You're twenty-eight years old, hurry up and get married. You're practically bankrupting me. My poor worker is suffering."

"That's pure fabrication!"

"Yuzhu, is it really true that our company won't last past 2000? Is it that serious?!"

"That's how it is for some factories. Our company is considered lower-tier; if the wages are too high, it's better to leave. It's also to give them a heads-up."

Are you prepared for going there?

"Yes, in Malaysia and my hometown."

"Can they?"

"You'll understand in five years, at least in Malaysia."

"If you don't tell me, I'll have to wait."

"Insurance."

"snort."

"Rain, what did you mean just now? Are you saying that Zhuzi wasn't doing this for the future children, but for himself?" Qin Huairu was still very sensitive.

"Sister Huairu isn't entirely like that either. My brother was just trying to make himself look good at the press conference, saying that building the school was for the benefit of the next generation."

He made it sound like a saint, even though it was only a three-point score.

You don't need to worry about the company going bankrupt. House rental is the real long-term business for the company. How could the biggest landlord and rental company here possibly go bankrupt!

He's lying!

Talented individuals are what he needs most!

Once schools and hospitals are back to normal, have you thought about how much money he could earn in a year?

He earns over ten million a year from public hospitals alone, and he also runs over three hundred public and private schools.

Furthermore, their company owns most of the land in five districts including Yuen Long and the North District. Even if they stop manufacturing and building houses in ten years, he will still be the richest man in the area!

"He Yuzhu, you're lying to us again! I'll bite you to death!"

"Ms. Zhou Songyu, you can't blame me. You just didn't think things through and wasted your time studying. You're a high-scoring but low-ability student. Do you believe me now?"

"Rain is something else, seeing through my intentions so easily. I'll grant you a few days off to go have some fun."

"I asked Sir Zhao because I was worried about problems with the company."

"Heh, you've really overestimated me. My approach to education is 30/70: I'm doing it for the next generation now, and for making money later. Running schools and hospitals here is a good thing."

"You are still a wicked capitalist at heart, but giving them thirty years is already very generous."

No wonder your hospital and school were chosen in such good locations; there must be something else going on.

"You know it yourselves, it's partly an open conspiracy, laid out for thirty years, they have nothing to say."

"Pillar, things will be even better for my jewelry store from now on, right? They have money to spend!"

"It should be. A few jewelry stores are a minor issue; after this incident, you'll have even more customers buying gold and silver jewelry and watches!"

"With the simple phrase 'for the next generation, for the future,' you've won over the hearts of this place."

"..."

"Huai Ru, what I said about Zhuzi Company being so large that it will eventually go bankrupt, what should we do then?"

"Mother, don't worry, Zhuzi has already thought of a way out. Ten years ago, he built a new factory in Malaysia, which is four or five times the size of this one."

If I have the opportunity to set up a factory back in my hometown, there are many poor countries in the world, so the low labor costs won't have a big impact. Here, it's just a matter of the factory not making a profit, not losing money!

"Think it through. I'm worried about you guys running into problems. Is this place really going to be transformed in some way in the future?"

"Yes, the labor costs in ordinary factories are too high. Transitioning to other suitable high-tech industries would be more beneficial for my jewelry store, as higher incomes would be more advantageous."

Mother, you don't need to worry about these things. Zhuzi Company has a think tank; they've already thought it through. Just focus on your treatment.

"Medical treatment here is so expensive, I've heard it all. My illness will cost over ten million, it's a tragedy!"

"It's less than a year's income from one of my jewelry stores. It's worth it to trade my life for it. I have money. You can just relax and watch me go crazy, don't worry about anything else."

"Zhu Zi went out again; he seems quite busy."

"He left five days ago. The company found several mines in Australia, which he needs to complete his supply chain. He's busy making arrangements; he has four or five hundred thousand employees under him!"

"With four or five hundred thousand workers, no wonder he earns so much money? People here seem to really respect him; he's not a heartless rich man, which is a good thing."

"As Zhu Zi once said, once you've made a certain amount of money, it's just a string of cold numbers. You might as well do things you want to do; spending a little money isn't a big deal."
