Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

Where there are people who agree, there will be people who disagree. This time, the one who disagreed was the hunchback from Kowloon Walled City.

Kowloon Walled City was a godsend for them, a place where no one was in charge, perfect for any job they wanted!

Once they move out, they'll become easy targets for the police. Where else can they hide? They don't want Kowloon Walled City to disappear.

The place is too crowded and dangerous. What does it have to do with them?

However, these people did not want to offend the Dongda Group too much. There was no enmity between the two sides. It was just that the Dongda Group was too full of martial virtue and did not want to make such an enemy.

They have plenty of security personnel; they can starve them to death by simply waiting outside the fortress instead of entering it to arrest them.

There aren't many fools in this world!

The people in Niu Niu were also disturbed by the commotion, and internal opposition gradually subsided, so the two sides continued to talk.

These things can't be rushed. There are too many details involved, and you need to talk to other people and get their approval. The chances of them agreeing are very high, but what if they don't?

A press conference was held, stating that both sides had been discussing these two issues, but due to the numerous details involved, it was impossible to reach a conclusion within a few days.

Both sides generally agree on the direction: relocating the Kowloon Walled City and building an airport are both essential, but we need time and cannot afford any problems along the way.

Please put aside your work and continue negotiations. Rest assured, we have never intended to completely refuse or terminate the negotiations...

Their words calmed the citizens down temporarily, as they awaited the outcome of the negotiations.

"Good heavens, I never expected that Comrade He Yuzhu would build such a great foundation after being away for 22 years."

We are severely lacking in bauxite and copper ore here. Someone is holding us hostage; can't we simply import them from them?

"We can buy it from his company. We're relatively poor, so a slightly cheaper price would be best. We really need to focus on developing our economy."

"In business, we shouldn't be thinking about getting the best price when buying mineral resources. The company also needs to make money. How much cheaper is enough? It's not good to have that kind of thinking."

We think a 5% or 10% discount is acceptable, but some people are insatiable and will try to find all sorts of excuses to give it away for free.

This is a classic example of ingratitude, absolutely unacceptable. Fairness and impartiality must be maintained in all business dealings.

"That's how it should be done. Some people are always too self-righteous, only thinking about taking advantage without wanting to put in any effort. They've changed too much compared to before."

"Let's discuss this again. This is a big deal and we can't be careless."

There are other newspapers in the port city, eagerly tracking down the assets of the Dongda Group.

Another newspaper has put up a huge, eye-catching headline: Who is the world's richest person?

Sir He Yuzhu, Chairman of Dongda Group, is the world's richest man!

The reason is that Sir Ho's companies are only listed in Hong Kong, and the total assets of all listed companies in Hong Kong are less than 5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Sir Ho's total assets in Hong Kong are no less than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Sir Ho owns more than 90% of the shares.

In other words, Sir Ho owns assets worth over 50 billion in Hong Kong.

If the assets in Malaysia are calculated at four times the value of Hong Kong's assets, this asset is worth 220 billion Malaysian Ringgit.

The mineral resources of Australia are worth 230 billion. Sir He's total assets are—

Five hundred billion US dollars.

The total assets are 500 billion US dollars, or 28,250 trillion Hong Kong dollars.

Who in the world can offer this?

There was no one there!

Sir Ho is the world's richest man!

boom!

This was another deafening bang that shattered the worldview of the people of Hong Kong. Damn it, I only found out from the newspaper that the richest man was right next to me!

Countless people have felt the same way. Although I am not the richest person, the richest person is right next to me.

I've seen Sir Ho on TV. I've bought their clothes, their cars, and their houses. I've contributed to the Dongda Group.

I've also seen Sir Ho wearing a vest, shorts, and slippers, playing with the children. He's a responsible and good father!

Sir Ho's attire was a bit casual, but let's not speculate about that, as it could damage his reputation!

But Sir Ho often dresses like this when taking his children out in the summer. I've seen him at temple fairs and Victoria Harbour.

And I really love eating my snacks, like the "pissing fish balls," which are bouncy, chewy, and endlessly flavorful...

Get lost! No GG here!

An endless sense of pride surged forth. After being managed by outsiders for too long, finally a remarkable person emerged, becoming the world's richest man!

It's not them personally, but just like them, they can walk with their chests out and heads held high, just like Sir He's swaying gait, fearless of anyone.

Is it only the world's richest person who dares to walk like this, or is it only by walking like this that one can become the world's richest person? We need to seriously consider this.

This is extremely important!

What if I were the next richest person? That would be amazing!

"I'm the world's richest man, how come I didn't know? It's just a title, no one's going to bow down to me, it's a trivial matter."

After becoming the richest man, He Yuzhu was again surrounded by reporters at his company wanting to interview him, but he respected their livelihood and did not refuse.

The reporter asked the question while standing, and He Yuzhu answered while standing, acting more like an ordinary person than the world's richest man.

"Sir Ho may not have valued his own wealth."

"If I'm the richest person in the world, I'm only the richest person on the surface. There are families in the world with hundreds of years of history; they are the truly richest families in the world, not me!"

"Is it the legendary reclusive family? I'd like to ask, Sir Ho has 50 billion in assets in Hong Kong, is the Dongda Group really going to go bankrupt?!"

"If companies don't make the right transformation at the right time, they will all go bankrupt now, except for those in real estate."

Real estate is what we buy, besides selling ordinary housing, to collect rent. No matter what happens here, we all need housing.

"Sir He, Dongda Group saw a significant increase in profits three years ago. Have you prepared retirement funds for the company's employees?"

"No, we only refund the amount in your retirement account; we didn't give you a single penny more."

"Why not save more money for them when we have it? That would be better if there were no investment returns."

"These are the rules. You can occasionally break the rules when it comes to personal relationships, since it won't have a big impact. But you can't break them when it comes to money; not even a penny more is allowed."

If the investment department performs well today, should we put more money into the retirement fund? If the returns are poor, should we withdraw the money? Or should we increase the investment regardless of cost?

Neither will work. We have our own bottom line, which prioritizes stability and safety.

If the investment department does this today, will they be able to retain some of the profits from other companies tomorrow?

This is absolutely unacceptable.

"Sir He, if the Dongda Group is so wealthy, why does it insist on restoring the school and hospital to normalcy in thirty years?"

"I'm afraid everyone has the same hopeless idea as you, that you don't want to give anything and just want to be a parasite that sucks the blood of others."

As heaven's movement is ever vigorous, so should a gentleman constantly strive for self-improvement. As earth's condition is receptive, so should a gentleman cultivate virtue and bear all things with magnanimity. This is my favorite saying.

I hope everyone strives for self-improvement, rather than relying on the kindness of others; only in this way can one achieve success.

Instead of just wanting others to treat him well, which is essentially saying, "Who are you? Why should we? We're rich, but we're not your father. We have no responsibility or obligation to pay you a single dollar."

Of course, we won't use our employees' hard-earned money to support anyone!

"Understood!"
