The leisurely life of rebirth

At the groundbreaking ceremony, Meng Yuliang invited some leaders from China Merchants Group to attend.

As the big boss behind the scenes, it would be inappropriate for Zhou You not to show up.

This is also the reason why so many leaders were invited. The investment is not very large. For the development zone, these are very small investments.

Generally speaking, just speak quietly.

But I didn't know that these leaders were keeping a close eye on us, asking about the progress every day, as if they were running a factory.

He came to inspect several times in between.

They asked if there were any difficulties and whether coordination was needed. Later, they saw that the factory was getting better and better, and the investment in ancillary products was greater than that in the production line, which shocked them.

I knew the boss behind the scenes was awesome, but I didn’t expect him to be so awesome.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I've always heard about you and today I finally meet you in person," said Director Wang of China Merchants Group.

Zhou You extended his hand and said politely, "Oh, it's my fault. I should have visited you earlier. I'm often on business trips. I'm really sorry."

"You are too polite. I know you are busy. We have many branches of investment companies here, and we have heard a lot about your investment stories." Director Wang said politely.

There is no love without reason in the world, but there is hate without reason.

Zhou You finally understood. In fact, he also knew that he couldn't hide for long, but no one had given him any reason to contact him.

"It's all luck, good luck." Zhou You didn't want to say too much. Apart from luck, he also talked about strength.

When Wang Xing met Zhou You for the first time, he couldn’t believe it. He was so young, but his net worth was so high. No wonder he didn’t care about this investment. He just didn’t know why he did this?

Based on limited information, the results are often inaccurate.

But at least as mentioned above, we have the contact information.

The leaders of the China Merchants Group may seem glamorous to outsiders, but in fact, only they themselves know what is good and what is bad. If they could really be replaced, who wouldn't want to be like Zhou You?

Just like the recent hit song "Young and Promising", this is what a young and promising person looks like. A university professor, a billionaire, yet so low-key. Wow, among those companies he invested in, as long as he can pull one over, no one dares to ignore this achievement, and he will be promoted and get a raise in salary directly.

But, why should they do that?
He is not a child, but a mature young bureaucrat who only cares about his own interests.

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry. We will definitely improve the business environment here and will not let any business suffer any grievances." Wang Xing expressed his opinion there.

Zhou You's expression became serious when he heard this: "Director Wang, please don't treat me specially. We will absolutely abide by all laws and regulations. You just need to follow the policies. I am not only an entrepreneur, but also a resident. I think it is unfair to favor any party."

This is what Zhou You thinks in his heart: nothing should be excessive.

Entrepreneurs are people, and residents are also people. When some people enjoy convenience, others lose.

Oftentimes, the world is like this.

After hearing this, Wang Xing was also stunned for a moment, but when he thought about Zhou You’s age, he understood. He would not be angry. How could he have the right to be angry since he was not his subordinate.

At this age, he is still an idealist. Good, good.

Young people with ideals are good people. They can make use of their hometown, family, the public, and alumni. The only thing they are afraid of is a lack of emotion.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou is right. When I was studying at Luzhou University, I heard our teacher say that. Unfortunately, now we are busy with worldly things and many things have been lost." Wang Xing said with a sigh.

Who doesn't want to do something practical, something beneficial to society and bring a sense of accomplishment to oneself? However, reality does not allow it and one does not have the ability to do so.

Zhou You was not surprised when he heard this. As a comprehensive university, Luzhou University should not have too many government agencies.

But since they were from the same school, he looked more positive than he actually was. His expression improved a lot: "Oh, which class was Director Wang from?"

Here it comes, here it comes, isn't this just to improve our friendship?

"I graduated early, class of 03, and studied law at that time," said Wang Xing.

"That senior should be in the old campus. I was considered the first class of the new campus. I enrolled in 04, graduated from graduate school in 10, and now I am a teacher in the school." Zhou You said politely.

What you just said was official jargon, but now it is common language.

"Oh, I wish I had stayed in school. I don't know how I ended up on this path. I've been to the new campus, and it was really desolate at first." Wang Xing also sighed.

There was nothing in the new campus back then, and some students even went back to repeat their studies because the school environment was so bad.

"You're doing well now, leader of our unit. We have to be polite when we meet you." Zhou You said jokingly.

Wang Xing blushed: "Junior, you are making fun of the seniors. We are just trying to make a living. School is simpler. Look at me. I have aged so much and I am under so much pressure every day."

"Actually, it's not easy to work in any field. If you have the chance, come back to visit our alma mater. I'll treat you to a meal then." Zhou You remained polite.

"Okay, of course. Just don't find me annoying when the time comes." Wang Xing would definitely go when the opportunity arises.

Do what you do and love what you do.

Once you enter the system, you cannot get promoted if you don't know how to curry favor with others. Many people, even if they don't have any connections, still try hard to gain connections.

No matter whether it will be useful in the future or not, it will not do any harm.

After the meeting, Zhou You asked Meng Yuliang to invite everyone to visit and have a working lunch in the cafeteria.

Although Wang Xing had been here several times, he was still somewhat shocked this time: "Boss Zhou."

"Brother, don't call me Mr. Zhou. Call me Teacher Zhou, or Junior Brother."

"Then I'll call him Teacher Zhou, and I can't keep calling him junior." The other person is being polite, but I can't really call him that, because he has a junior in his heart.

"Your dormitory is a single room and the cafeteria is free. Excuse me, how much salary do you offer?" Wang Xing asked.

I was embarrassed to ask before, but of course I can ask now.

"The salary is the average salary in Luzhou, which is the data released to the public," Zhou You said.

Wang Xing was stunned: "6000 a month?"

"Ah."

"That is the average level announced to the public, just like Lao Ma and I are both billionaires on average." Wang Xing joked. Who would believe that? It's not something he got himself.

Zhou You smiled and said, "We are a socialist country. You should know more about Article 1 of Chapter 1 of the Constitution than I do. You are a law student."

After Wang Xing heard this, his face immediately became solemn: "The People's Republic of China is a socialist country under the people's democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the worker-peasant alliance."

After reciting it subconsciously, he smiled bitterly and said, "Junior, I am not as good as you."

Zhou You patted his senior on the shoulder and said, "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself. If you are rich, you should help the world. This is my only ability. I can't do anything else. I can only take care of my own people."

"This treatment may be high for workers, but for those with high incomes who meet the recognition standards, it is just average."

Some people just talk.

Some people really do it.

"But how can you make a profit by doing this?" Wang Xing asked curiously. Zhou You laughed: "I don't know if it can be profitable, but I don't think the loss will be too big. You see, many companies make a lot of profits, but the employees don't get much benefit. So where does the money go?"

Wang Xing didn't care that Zhou You was leading him. Logically speaking, such words should not come out of his mouth: "Marx's theory of exploitation is very clear."

"Well, this topic is not something we should worry about."

"In a word, the road is tortuous, but the future is bright!"

"Yes, I just want to see what happens with my junior's experimental field?" Wang Xing laughed.

"Okay, we'll wait and see." Zhou You also laughed.

When this standard was first formulated, Meng Yuliang was a little confused. In everyone's eyes, front-line workers are the least valuable and have the least gold content, and they can be replaced at any time anyway.

If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will. This sentence expresses everyone's sadness and the ugly faces of capitalists.

But later on, people really didn’t want to go to the factory, which caused a labor shortage. Then, on the other hand, people said that people nowadays can’t endure hardship.

In fact, not only that, there is no night shift in Zhouyou’s factory. Currently there is only one shift, which is a normal 8 hours. Anyway, there is no rush to sell the goods.

The workers were recruited randomly. When they first arrived, no one dared to believe the treatment they heard. But when they saw the dormitories, the free canteens, and the very formal physical examination upon joining the company, they adopted the attitude of working day by day and earning day by day, and no one really left.

Zhou You was talking about the salary received, not the five social insurances and one housing fund. Yes, they also pay provident fund.

"By the way, senior, please keep an eye on it for me. I'm going to prepare that small piece of land to build a staff building. If these people work for me for a long time, they can enjoy housing benefits."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you, but it's too troublesome for you to set up an independent real estate company. Let's see if I can get you some help and get someone to do the construction for you." Through the conversation, Wang Xing knew that what this junior fellow student did was real.

As such a big boss, there is no need for him to lie to these people.

He didn't know that Zhou You had already started to separate the rooms, otherwise he wouldn't be so surprised.

"To be honest, I want to work with you. If ordinary employees are treated this way, shouldn't the treatment of leaders be even better?"

Zhou You smiled and said, "Well, it's better. The more you work, the more you get. Distribution is based on need. We take care of the disadvantaged groups and ensure general fairness."

It is not realistic to achieve complete fairness, but there are differences between people. Absolute fairness is unfair.

People from poor backgrounds don't have many educational resources, while people from well-off families have no shortage of resources. How can we achieve absolute fairness?

Everyone eats in the same cafeteria. It is said to be a work meal, but in fact it is a buffet. It is free for all employees and you can take food on demand and take as much as you eat.

There was indeed some waste at the beginning, but everyone was not used to it at that time. Later, we found that there was no need to eat so much, as these good things were always there.

Gradually, everyone stopped fighting over things.

Why rob?

It’s because there are too few resources!

There are too many people and too little land. There are too many people and too few houses. There are too many people and too little wages. There are too many people, too many people. Everything is attributed to the large number of people. It is really a big basket.

Why not say it? More people means more labor.

It's true, there are too many people when eating and too few people when working.

The working class in the United States are not living as comfortably as before. Why?
Because the Soviet big brother is gone, we used to be in a competitive relationship, so we need to unite the working class, otherwise something really bad will happen, because someone is backing them up.

Now, you try to make trouble, we have plenty of ways to deal with you.

Therefore, the enemy and friend will change.

Why break the monopoly?

Because monopoly really can do whatever it wants!

Once Zhou You's brain starts to wander, he can't control it. It's all in a moment, right or wrong, true or false, they are all his own thoughts.

After Meng Yuliang finished his work, he began to prepare for production. Since the factory was large and had complete supporting facilities, he also left a separate office there for fear that Zhou You would not be there.

Production is finally about to begin.

All the personnel and equipment are in place, but the name of the company is quite interesting: Jingwei Mask.

The boss meant for it to be clean and hygienic and not to make it so complicated, but I always felt like there was something wrong.

In addition to normal masks for adults, there are also children's masks in various sizes.

He just does whatever his leader says. It sounds reasonable anyway, but he just feels like something is not right.

The employees also felt it and started talking about it.

"Brother, we only work eight hours a day, why are you so uncomfortable?" said the younger one.

"Are you a cheapskate? Why don't you take advantage of the opportunity?"

"Yeah, why do you care so much? Just live happily every day."

"This place has closed down, just move on to another one." someone said.

"Bah, bah, is this family the same as the other ones? This family treats us as human beings. Damn, I've worked here for so many years and have never enjoyed such treatment. Stop talking nonsense." said the slightly older person.

"Yes, you kids, don't talk nonsense, it's not easy to find a good job."

"Hey, brother, aren't we worried? We're worried about such good treatment. If it goes bankrupt, we won't be able to find such a good company in the future."

The older one said, "The boss has invested so much, it must not be for fun. My brother has been abroad and said that the workers there are not much different from white-collar workers. I think our factory seems to have this idea, so everyone should work hard and strive to work for a longer period of time."

"Of course, of course. If I don't work hard, I will be sorry for myself."

The employees were not specially selected, this was also Zhou You’s request. Coming here is fate, and if fate has not arrived, no one can do anything about it.

There are some who are a little older, some who are young and have just graduated, and there are both men and women.

Although the dormitory is relatively small, where can I find a single dormitory?

Men and women are separated, and there are still many wealthy people. It is obvious that the boss wants to expand his business.

Zhou You was not really worried about it, mainly because the area was a bit large, and it would be a waste to build a few more things if they were not used anyway.

As for the future, let’s talk about it later. Maybe if I just want to do something, and if I can support a group of people, it would be a good choice.

After Wang Xing returned, he began to use his connections to collect detailed information about Zhou You, including some things happening at school.

Students don’t know, but many teachers know something.

If you don't know him, you wouldn't know. This person is really an extraordinary student and everything he does is unexpected.

Wow, interesting, really interesting.

Young people, it's up to you to change the world! (End of this chapter)
