Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

On January 28, the day before the Lunar New Year, Dongda Group officially announced the retirement of its senior executives and the first batch of employees of its security company.

Including Zhao Youcai, the current general manager of Dongda Group, and Zhou Ze, the deputy general manager who is also the general manager of Dongda Group (his hometown), a total of 57 people have retired, with the lowest level being deputy department manager.

At the same time, a list of 57 successors was announced, 42 of whom were bio-engineered humans, and 15 of whom were promoted based on their diligence, hard work, and personal abilities.

Countless people at the scene were moved to tears. Few had witnessed the entire process of building Dongda Group from its inception to its current status as the world's leading and most powerful company.

But these people, aged thirty to fifty, grew up listening to their stories, and today they see these elderly people officially stepping down from their lives.

They began to fade away in the long river of time.

Time is the true blade, cutting down the paths of countless talents!

Gu Changge takes over as general manager of Dongda Group!

Meng Wenzhang has taken over as deputy general manager of Dongda Group and general manager of his hometown region. All other positions have been filled by others, and the one-year handover period will ensure that there will be no upheaval in the company!

All 4000 employees of the security company's first batch have retired, and the company will be taken over by 2000 employees in this batch. The number of employees in the security company will not be increased in the future.

The current manager of the security company is named He Bao! The name is somewhat crude, and it also sounds like "nuclear explosion." All 2000 of his employees are bio-engineered!

There was no sadness among the retirees at the press conference, only a faint sense of parting, as they lived not far apart and could meet again at any time.

It's just that the offices will be permanently separated from those of Dongda Group!

We have officially parted ways with Dongda Group, with which we have worked for 45 years!

This also signifies the end of an era for Dongda Group and Gangcheng, with only their chairman, Sir Ho, remaining.

How much further can Sir Ho, who is already 65 years old, carry Hong Kong on his shoulders? How does the second generation of management compare to the first? We can only wait and see!

Having prepared years ago, He Yuzhu returned home without sadness, remaining as calm as ever.

In the yard in front of the living room, he played with the children who rushed towards him for a few minutes with a smile on his face!

The little mud monkey was happy and dirty again. No one cared that he was covered in dirt and mud. He Yuzhu went back to the living room, while the children continued to play in the yard.

"Old Zhao and the other guys who were among the first to fight alongside you are retiring today, and you don't seem sad at all. It's good to be prepared."

"It's not like we'll never see each other again, nor is it a matter of life and death. What's there to be sad about? It's not difficult to get together if we want to."

"What do they do after they retire? They go fishing, have morning tea, chat, and live the life of an old person."

"While they are still able to walk, they should go out and travel. Zhou Ze will take them first to their hometown, then to Malaysia, and then to various parts of the world."

The old guys at the security company are almost too old to walk anymore, but they still want to go fight in the black guys' territory. They say they're itching for a fight and can't enjoy their retirement life without fighting a few battles!

Let them go. They're all over sixty. There's no need for regrets. We've kept them cooped up in the security company for too long! They're better suited for the battlefield.

"I have a question for you. My uncle wanted to ask it when he was alive, but he never got around to it."

"Go ahead and ask!"

"Your security company was the one that used cannons in '57, weren't you? The 'Li' family was also 'vanished into thin air' by you, and you were the intelligence agents who attacked Niu Niu."

"These are three questions, and the answer is us! You don't need to know anything else. The past is the past; we would handle things differently now."

"I'm just asking for an answer. Back then, those things terrified the upper-class people here; they were afraid it would happen to them."

Those who fear me are acting out of a guilty conscience! Those who are not afraid are upright and honorable!

"That's what I say, but I'm still afraid it will happen to me."

Maybe!

"Daddy, your investment department called me the other day. My 3 billion US dollars worth of stocks rose to 403 billion after I sold them. I made more than 12 times my initial investment in less than five years!"

"The Nasdaq market is so powerful, why are you selling your stocks now? Will they plummet?" He Mingli was very pleased.

"Nasdaq technology stocks are very strong. They still have a lot of funds. The investment department believes that they will inevitably plummet before April 1st, most likely in early March."

Selling now is not gambling; we're unlikely to sell at the absolute peak. Our priority is stability. Investors and the investment department have already made a lot of money.

"You just made 180 billion US dollars in the betting agreement, how much did you make in tech stocks this time?" Zhou Songyu asked casually.

"3861 billion US dollars!"

"So much?" Zhou Songyu, Qin Huairu, and the others were taken aback. Three trillion Hong Kong dollars.

"And then there's the price of gold. The war has caused oil and gold prices to fluctuate. Oil has fallen to 20 US dollars a barrel, and gold is next, at least halved to 615 US dollars an ounce."

The investment department has already invested 20 billion US dollars in US dollars, using 15 times leverage to short gold, and in addition to previously going long and shorting and then going long again, this time it is shorting again.

Their total profit in three months may reach 6300 billion US dollars; the futures market has become their ATM!

"Adding it all up, trillions of US dollars, that's a lot of money! Hong Kong won't go bankrupt."

"Bankruptcy is impossible. How could the Dongda Group headquarters possibly go bankrupt? Little Eagle's Wall Street financial business is getting more and more powerful. I know the financial industry is good; it makes money quickly and in large amounts."

"Dad, I...can we donate...some more money?" Liu Ruonan asked shyly in a low voice.

"In what area should the donation be made?"

"The navy, carrier battle groups! Their navy has been hoping for fifty years that we would have our own carrier battle groups too."

"Building an aircraft carrier battle group is not difficult. Our Dongda Group has this technology. We have had it for twenty years. At most, the cost of 20 billion US dollars is a small matter."

Can they afford the remaining maintenance costs of the carrier battle group and the current expenses on the naval aircraft carriers?

Go and find out. It can be built in their hometown. We'll send engineers to teach them all the techniques, including the main raw materials they'll need later. Go and find out.

"Thank you, Dad. I'll ask about it after the New Year."

"If you have the technology, why don't you build an aircraft carrier battle group in Malaysia?"

"This place is so small, like a tiny basin, it doesn't need an aircraft carrier battle group at all. We already have an excess of warships; Malaysia doesn't need any large naval vessels."

"With an aircraft carrier battle group, other countries will be afraid and won't dare to attack Zhong'er and his people."

"That's the truth. You can rest assured. Within a 5,000-kilometer radius of their capital, your son can take on the entire world."

"This is acceptable."

Ignore this woman who knows nothing about military affairs and only cares about her son's absolute safety.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, we're back! We've had enough fun!" Before the voice was even finished outside the hall, seven or eight children rushed in from the door and piled on top of He Yuzhu's legs.

"You're back. What do you want to do now? How about taking a shower and having dinner?"

"Grandpa, I'll eat after I take a bath."

"Grandpa, let's take a shower first, then watch some cartoons, and then eat."

"That's fine, the aunties will take you upstairs to take a bath."

"Okay, Grandpa, goodbye Uncle and Aunt!" After saying that, he yelled and rushed towards their bathroom.

"Hmph, with you around, they completely ignore us. All that pampering they've got is for nothing."

"They're all very well-behaved, good kids. If you make them study less, you'll still see them."

"I don't care!" Still with a duck's beak.

"Mommy, you're better suited to looking after children under two, not children over four."

"I'm happy just letting you guys have fun!"

"They're happy, and I like that!"
