The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Zhong Yuemin was shocked and said: "Breaking the steel pipe with your bare hands?"

Li Yuanchao nodded and confirmed: "That's right."

"I heard that my buddies Zhang Haiyang, Liu Guoping, and Yang Xiaojing all said that Li Ming was kind and easy to get along with."

"Is there any misunderstanding between you? We are all our own people. Try to clear up the misunderstanding."

Zhong Yuemin originally wanted to find a big helper, but he didn't expect to be persuaded to reconcile. He was a little blind for a moment.

Zheng Tong is actually a gentle student. He is originally afraid of fights. Even when he participates in a group fight, he will be frightened and run away when there are more people on the other side.

"Yuemin, let's persuade Yuan Jun together, or let it go. In fact, it was Yuan Jun and I who were at fault from the beginning."

Zhong Yuemin insisted: "I won't persuade him. If Yuan Jun wants to regain his position, I will still accompany him."

Ning Xiaofeng was a little arrogant towards Li Ming before, but after hearing too many stories about his deeds, he started to admire him a little, "I guess you don't move around much in the east and west of the city."

"You can go around and ask around. Li Ming single-handedly challenged more than a dozen people and beat them all down in less than a minute. He himself was unscathed."

"Even if you shout at a bunch of people, you will still get beaten if you go."

Only then did Zheng Tong realize how violent he had provoked, "The speed was so fast that I didn't even see how he started, so he slapped Yuan Jun away."

Ning Xiaofeng speculated: "I guess you must have been rude, otherwise I am a section chief, so I wouldn't slap you in the face."

Zheng Tong admitted: "I accidentally said a catchphrase, your uncle."

Ning Xiaofeng said clearly: "That's right."

Yan Xiangdong of the Diarrhea Four also knows Zhong Yuemin, "Yuemin, we are all loyal people."

"If you fight over something that doesn't make sense, your momentum will be weakened before the fight even starts."

"It's not like I'm not willing to help. This is obviously going to be a beating. I'll feel very stupid."

Zhong Yuemin couldn't force others to get beaten, "Yuan North Korea, Xiangdong. Thank you very much for your kindness."

"It's not that I'm stubborn and don't listen to advice. I've just made a promise, but then I regret it later."

Li Yuanchao said in a scene, "Everyone knows that Yuemin is very loyal."

"I can't help you this time. I'll ask Zhang Haiyang and the others to say hello to you first and ask Li Ming to be gentle."

Ning Xiaofeng added: "The words to support North Korea are a bit unpleasant, but they are all honest words spoken as good brothers."

"There was a group of people who came to the door before. They were beaten by Li Ming and suffered multiple fractures all over their bodies. They all lay in the hospital for almost a month."

Zhong Yuemin was not a fearless person, so he felt a huge trough in his heart. This time he encountered a really ruthless person.

Yuan Jun, who was behind the door, listened for a long time and was very grateful to Zhong Yuemin for his loyalty. At the same time, he also lost his desire to regain the situation. The other party was too cruel.

It's normal for these young people to be so passionate that they want to go to the knife, but usually they just say harsh words to each other to save face.

Section Chief Li's reputation in the capital is getting louder and louder.

Xingchen Company's reputation in Hong Kong City is getting better and better.

Especially after the year-end bonuses of each company under the Star Company system were exposed, it aroused a lot of heated discussions in the port city.

It’s not uncommon for management to get bonuses. Ordinary employees can get a bonus of three months’ salary, which is a big hit.

Zui Qiong Tower in Kowloon.

My uncle made an appointment with City Council member Lawyer Hu, former councilor Lawyer Chen and others to eat Hakka food.

Councilor Hu praised: "Your Xingchen Company pays taxes based on profits of 3000 million yuan and pays millions in taxes to Hong Kong City. It has made a great contribution to Hong Kong City."

Lawyer Chen lost his status as a member of Parliament and said more casually, "Other companies calculated based on their own proportions and thought you had a profit of HK$1 million."

The eldest uncle wanted to show off, "Congressman Hu and Lawyer Chen, we have a good relationship. I will tell you the truth and we are inseparable."

"We are a little more honest than others, but we also do some accounting. If we are too honest, we will not be so gregarious."

Lawyer Chen was surprised: "Is there really a profit of 1 million?"

The eldest uncle said with a slight sneer: "I won't admit it once I get out of this door."

Councilor Hu was also a little shocked. The company has become so powerful in just one year. "Xingchen Company can definitely go public."

The eldest uncle said bluntly: "The stock market is controlled by Ying Guoguo. There are also many outstanding Chinese companies in Hong Kong. They have not yet been listed, so we are not in a hurry."

"And it doesn't have to be listed in a Hong Kong city. We can go to London or New York to list."

This is not nonsense. Xingchen Company has operations and branches in Magi and Ying. If you change the place of registration, you can really choose to go public in these two places.

Lawyer Chen's law firm took over most of Xingchen Company's real estate transactions and made a lot of money from legal fees.

"Xingchen's real estate company has more than 100 million square meters of properties, and the annual rent can be several million. It is a guaranteed profit. If it is listed, I will also buy some shares."

Councilor Wu responded: "You have also taken over a lot of land in Tsuen Wan, a few hundred acres, right?"

Huang Fuyi, who participated in the project, replied with a smile: "Some people happened to be reselling the land, and it was all cheap land, about 500 acres."

Li Ming and Lou Xiao'e are open to high-, medium-, and low-end houses. From the 1000 houses they scanned, plus the ones they purchased before, they have a total of 2000 houses in hand.

The average price of houses is relatively low, about the same as the market average price of 500 yuan per square meter. The average area of ​​each house is 60 square meters. The total price of residential properties is about 6000 million Hong Kong dollars.

The land in Tsuen Wan is all industrial and residential land, and the price is not expensive. The average price is 210 yuan per square meter, which is 14 yuan per mu, which is 6000 million Hong Kong dollars.

Xingchen Company's profit of US$1200 million from overseas and Magnesium Army supplies, and the profit of HK$1000 million from the Hong Kong market in the second half of the year, totaling approximately HK$8300 million, supported the 1.2 million real estate investment.

Since many new houses have low down payments, and some even have zero down payments, Xingchen Company has sufficient liquidity in its accounts.

My uncle added, "The banking industry is very optimistic about the recovery of the real estate market and has given us great support, so that we can invest heavily."

Lest anyone think that Xingchen Company is short of funds and make a fuss about it. Done badly, sometimes unfavorable rumors can turn out to be true.

Lawyer Chen saw clearly, "Without the support of your Xingchen Company, housing prices would definitely have fallen further."

The uncle said modestly: "After all, it is only a few people who are optimistic about the future of Hong Kong City. Only when everyone is optimistic about the future can housing prices be stabilized."

Doing good deeds with real money is the most convincing thing. Councilor Hu once again praised: "Director Lou, your Xingchen Company is really a model for Hong Kong City."

“Not only can we make money, but it also sets a good example for enterprises in Hong Kong City in terms of workers’ rights.”

Lawyer Chen joked: "Now many companies have followed your lead and are also giving out year-end bonuses."

The eldest uncle laughed and said, "Don't dare, don't dare."

"They should have made money, so they should thank their employees for their hard work over the year."

“If you don’t make any money, you won’t have the money to do so even if you want to.”

Councilor Hu said politely: "I have made money before."

Tang Hongde, the manager of the gift company, said it more directly, "What they offer is for half a month or a month, and the amount is not much."

Huang Fuyi smiled and said: "It would be good if you have hair. In previous years, I didn't have it."

In addition to the Hong Kong government formulating laws and regulations to regulate employment, Hong Kong companies are also slowly investing more in welfare benefits. Accommodation subsidies or the provision of free dormitories, food subsidies, perfect attendance awards, paid rest days, etc. are also gradually becoming popular.

In the past, most of these benefits were only available to mainland-based companies or large foreign-funded companies, but now they are widely spread.

Without the turmoil that lasted for almost a year in 67, such changes would certainly not have been so fast.

Some things are not what we should take for granted. Only when something happens can we arouse everyone's attention.

The eldest uncle sighed: "I have only been away from Hong Kong City for a few months, and it feels like there have been earth-shaking changes."

Lawyer Chen joked: "Since you are back, the business of Hong Kong City Nightclub has improved to a higher level."

"The name of the little prince of the nightclub is now well known throughout the port city."

The eldest uncle laughed and said: "Everyone is too enthusiastic and it is not convenient to refuse. I am a little afraid of going every day."

"Not only did my wife nag me, but my father and my sister also started nagging me."

"I'm really sorry. Let's have some vegetarian food for lunch today. Thank you both for your strong support to our Xingchen Company."

Congressman Hu is not suitable for frequenting those places. "It's good. This store is famous for its salt-baked chicken and Bawang chicken."

The eldest uncle said politely: "I also listened to their introduction to me. I hope you won't be disappointed."

Lawyer Chen was a member of Parliament before, and secretly had a wide range of businesses where he actually invested in shares. He asked:
"Director Lou, your food business has launched a lot of new drinks. Are you planning to make efforts in this area?"

The uncle immediately guessed that Lawyer Chen wanted to be a supplier again. "Beverages are just a test for now. Our main products this year are clocks and Rubik's Cube toys."

Lawyer Chen also knew that he would read it later, "The newspaper said that your Rubik's Cube caused a tornado craze in the Magnesium Country."

The eldest uncle cheered, "The newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong City are either listening to the wind or the rain. They even dare to make nonsense like an atomic bomb is exploding."

Everyone at the table smiled knowingly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was suitable, Councilor Hu said, "Someone asked me to ask."

"What are you doing transporting people to Australia?"

The port city is an intelligence center, which can be said to have gathered intelligence personnel from all over the world.

Ying Guolao has the home field advantage and has deployed a large number of manpower in Hong Kong City.

Xingchen Company's actions are not secretive, that is, it supplies supplies to the Magnesium Army, and it is obviously on the side of Ou Mei. Otherwise, such a pro-labor policy would be quite suspicious.

My uncle frowned slightly, "I'll be honest with you, I'm really not responsible for this matter."

"I heard my brother-in-law and sister talk about it. The main reason is that labor costs in Australia are too high, and the yield per acre of Australian farms is low. If we only use Australian workers, we will lose money."

After receiving the signal from Director Lou's eyes, Huang Fuyi answered: "For the cost spent on one Australian worker, we can hire three or five workers from Hong Kong cities."

Councilor Hu continued to ask: "How many people do you plan to transport there?"

Huang Fuyi replied: "Two or three farms and a mine. Up to 3000 people. Any more will not be cost-effective."

Congressman Hu didn't want to offend Xingchen Company, so he said, "I'm also asking for the people on the top of the mountain."

Huang Fuyi blurted out, "We can submit the plan to them."

Lawyer Chen added helpfully, "Just know what's going on."

Huang Fuyi quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing, "Yes, yes. I will punish myself with three cups later."

Tang Hongde smiled and said, "I think you want to drink the good Ouzhou wine that Mr. Lou brought back. If you drink more, we will drink less."

The eldest uncle smiled and said: "Let's have some casual drinks at noon, and then drink to our heart's content in the evening."

"In the evening, I invited several presidents and vice-presidents from Zhejiang Province and Shanghai Association, and also invited several big stars."

I don’t have shares in Xingchen Gift Company, but I have shares in Pacific Gift Company, which is responsible for the Ou magnesium market. I have received a lot of money, so the deal is no longer the same.

Tang Hongde praised: "Then we really need to be careful."

The atmosphere became lively again.

The other end.

Beijing, Food Research Laboratory.

He didn't even pay attention to the little conflict just now.

After lunch, Li Ming pointed at the bottles and cans around him and told Zhou Xiaobai, "Make some labels to warn that these ingredients are inedible and toxic."

Zhou Xiaobai responded obediently: "What do you want to do?"

Different from Zhou Xiaobai's unprincipled obedience, Luo Yun asked: "Why should we add labels? We all know that these are inedible."

Li Ming explained casually: "I'm afraid thieves will come in and steal some food."

"Ask Researcher Zhang and the others about what exactly we want to accomplish."

Luo Yun has a very simple view of right and wrong, "Thieves deserve to be eaten to death. I don't care whether they live or die!"

Li Ming did not refute, "It's okay if you die outside, but it's not good if you die here."

Luo Yun thought for a while, and it made sense.

Zhou Xiaobai smiled and said: "It's a good idea to make some warning signs so that when new people come in the future, they will know not to be careless."

Li Ming agreed: "That's right. Zhang Haiyang hasn't recruited anyone yet, but someone will come later."

Luo Yun advised: "Just recruit high school students. After a few months of training, they should be almost the same as those who have just entered college."

Li Ming revealed a little secret to them, "College students are not my main target. My target is people like Researcher Zhang who already have practical work experience."

Luo Yun thought he was fanciful, "How could he leave his original job?"

Li Ming followed her words and said, "So, I will do the next best thing and find some college students."

It is impossible for him to say in advance that many research institutions will be withdrawn and merged in the future, leaving many scientific researchers with no place to go.

And he really needs to train some young people to become the backbone of scientific research in 10 or 20 years.

Selecting people is very critical. Except for people who are not interested in worldly affairs or who are really impressed by their research plans, basically no one will be willing to come.

People who are willing to come despite such poor conditions can be assured of focused training and exposed to the latest technology and knowledge in the world.

The Cambrian Laboratory in Hong Kong City has specialized translation projects outsourced to universities in Hong Kong City, so the research institutes in Beijing will not be short of research materials.

By then, we can achieve some results that will attract the world’s attention.

A country that is relatively backward in economy, science, sports and other aspects needs some achievements to enhance its self-confidence.

After China lifts its blockade on us, our people need more self-confidence.

Only by being confident will you not be frightened to your knees by advanced science and technology and the huge gap in economic levels. (End of chapter)
