Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

"Mr. He, we probably can't enter the tobacco and alcohol industry as a sole proprietorship. Timber processing, papermaking, and printing are no problem."

"Our company needs to set up timber processing, papermaking, and printing plants near the port city."

For the tobacco and alcohol industry, joint ventures are possible; our company doesn't need to be a sole proprietorship. Think of it as investing in stocks to make money; you'll be in charge here.

"Not being a sole proprietorship isn't a big problem. I've researched the tobacco and alcohol industry here; it's very profitable. There are too many smokers and drinkers. It's a pity they haven't integrated it well."

"Different regions have their own ways of handling things. In the future, they will understand what it means to grow bigger and stronger. They are already learning now."

They ask us to teach, but they don't ask us to quietly do business. In the timber processing sector, it would be best to complete the entire industry chain.

"If contracting mountain land for tree planting doesn't work, we can wait. We can also start with a joint venture and eventually gain control. If that doesn't work either, it's okay. With Malaysia involved, no one can hold us back in this regard."

"Is it mainly papermaking and printing? Several of our companies need these, and Mr. He is planning a complete closed-loop system here."

"This is more beneficial to us. Having too much spare money is useless; it's better to spend it now."

What's the current status of the highway here? Approximately how many kilometers have they built?

"Personally, I think we should increase the number of factories that serve people's livelihoods, as there is still a shortage of such factories, especially in the livestock industry, including cooperation with grassland ranches."

The highway project is still a bit behind. Some sections in the plains will be completed and open to traffic by the middle of next year, but others won't be finished for at least seven or eight years, especially the main line.

"If you've been here a long time and discover a good industry, just let us know. We'll be happy if we can break even within twenty years. The factory transformation isn't needed for now, so don't worry about it."

We should be down-to-earth and accelerate the development of our hometown, while also making money.

Is my hometown going to launch its first 'Teachers' Day' on September 10th?

"It's September 10th."

"Ask about the number of current and retired teachers, and we'll fund a bonus for them. They deserve it; teaching is not an easy job."

"I'll ask the Ministry of Education. It applies to all teachers."

"Everyone, including professors teaching and mentoring students in universities and all academicians."

"good."

"Also, let's see what investment projects are available in Jincheng in the Northwest and Yingcheng in the Northeast? Or perhaps we could expand those cities and give them a hand."

Still haven't found it?

"I don't know the reason either. If we can't find them, so be it. No one is perfect."

He Yuzhu said that he still cannot find his parents from his previous life in his hometown, and his heart is full of regret.

I will.

Back in the port city, he said to Zhou Songyu, "When do you have time in the next two months? Go back to your hometown for a visit."

"What's the matter?"

"On September 10th, the first Teachers' Day, we will distribute the money. I have already asked Zhou Ze to find out the exact number of people."

"Ten thousand each for primary, secondary, and university teachers; fifty thousand for university professors; one hundred thousand for academicians. Zhou Ze has the money; if he needs more, just give him a call."

"I'll be back in a couple of days. They should be building more schools by then. Many places need schools, and even more so, they need roads."

"I know the conditions there, especially in the Midwest, are not good. There's nothing we can do. We're not saviors. The money we earn back home isn't very useful, which is why we dare to spend it freely."

The problem is that there are too many people and they are poor, and it will take at least twenty years to solve. This is not our company's problem.

Prices in my hometown are entering a period of rapid inflation, and money in my hands is becoming worthless.

Is there anything else?

"You can see the rest yourself."

This year, highway expenditures are 13% higher than last year, and with an additional 80 yuan increase in wages, direct expenditures are 21% higher.

Last year's export volume exceeded the previous year's by 20%, but the actual profit was basically the same, still less than 1600 billion RMB. Keeping it is really useless, so let's spend it and save it!

He Yuzhu brought back various goods in one or two years, allowing almost all companies in Malaysia to make money at rock-bottom prices.

With the emergence of a large number of production robots, many costs have been reduced to less than 10%, and the average cost across all companies is only 12%.

Of the 230 billion Malaysian Ringgit in annual exports, 200 billion is earned free through the use of robots, saving manpower and accelerating Malaysia's infrastructure development.

Upon returning to his hometown, Zhou Songyu and officials from the education department promised that their Dongda Group would distribute bonuses to all teachers before Teachers' Day, with the specific figures to be reported by the Ministry of Education.

Because we've collaborated so many times, nobody wants to exaggerate the numbers. We're not stupid; the other party knows they won't calculate the quantities themselves, so entrusting them to us is a sign of trust.

Given the sheer size of the Dongda Group, if they were to interfere, they could easily send you to spend the rest of your life smashing rocks with a single word.

This time, there are also newly built schools, which is a big deal. The higher-ups are paying close attention to it, and people from the Dongda Group are also inspecting these schools to ensure quality at the very least!

At the same time, it donated 15 billion yuan to 15 schools, including the seven national defense universities and eight military academies. The donations were uneven, with Harbin Institute of Technology receiving the most and Shijiazhuang Army Academy receiving a total of 1 billion yuan.

Why does everyone know this? The Shijiazhuang Army Academy received a student who is extremely valuable. The key is that this student is also amazing. He is only a sophomore and is basically the number one in the entire school in terms of military skills.

He Yuzhu didn't care about the 32 billion donation for Teachers' Day. He joined some film crews in Hong Kong and worked with the actors to study the scripts, without needing to "read the script in the dark".

I'm living a very happy life. I go to the company in the morning and go home to have dinner with my children in the evening.

Zhou Songyu and Qin Huairu both lived in their hometown.

"This time, when it's time for the teachers to celebrate the holiday, our Comrade He Yuzhu once again went all out, taking out 32 billion yuan to give them bonuses, because he thinks they have worked very hard."

He has consistently invested heavily in education, and has built four universities in four cities around Beijing, with a total investment of 10 billion yuan, which has greatly helped improve the quality of our personnel.

"Including donations to the Seven Sons of National Defense and fifteen other military academies, this time it's 57 billion, only less than the annual bonuses they give to their subordinate workers."

I think we should also give them something in return. Giving them some land in Yanjing and Guangzhou for development would actually make me feel more at ease.

"I think it's possible, it's less than a year away. As for Shanghai, if construction starts, we can form a joint venture with Dongda Group, they have many projects."

Even if they don't do it themselves, they can invest and let others do it, and their group will share the profits; they seem to like doing it that way too.

"This is something you shouldn't do; leave it to the professionals. And their Dongda Bank is very aloof; they basically don't have deposit or loan business. If they come in in the second half of the year, as long as it's legal, it's fine."

"This is good. Dongda Group's factory construction speed has slowed down. They've been patching things up for the past few years. With a bank involved, they can invest more effectively."

"What have the students from Dongda University been doing in Jincheng and Yingshi these past few days? Do you know?"

"Increasing production capacity in the old chemical base in Northwest China will soon fall short of market demand. It's better to just invest in it. One option is to investigate the local tobacco situation, and the other is to invest in it."

They plan to build a super timber, paper, and printing plant in Shenzhen to serve Gangcheng Company. They are also increasing their investment in our tobacco and alcohol industry, which they believe is small-scale and has many factories.

As for not knowing about the market, perhaps they want to see if there are any good projects in Northeast China?

"A tobacco and alcohol company, are they really that optimistic about these two industries?"

"Yes. According to Comrade Zhou Ze, they have a bright future, are very good at making money, and are very important to the country's treasury. These kinds of companies pay high taxes."

"Really? Ask Comrade Zhou Ze sometime; we're still quite short of money."

Prices are rising again.

"Importing some is unavoidable."
