Chapter 1427 Destined Fate (First update, please subscribe)
"…The total amount of investment made by the sovereign fund in Norway this time exceeded 2 million yuan, most of which was used to explore offshore oil in cooperation with the Norwegian government…"

For some people, the news on TV is business information and opportunities, but for most people, it has no meaning. It is just news.

But that cannot be said. For Ding Yujie, the news on TV contains other information.

"Oh, maybe I can get an extra dollar or two next year!"

The reason why Ding Yujie said this was because he had just received a check from the National Pension. The amount was not much, only a dozen yuan.

For Ding Yujie, who has only more than 20 yuan in his personal account, a return of more than ten yuan in half a year is already very considerable. After all, it is only % of the national pension income.

For many people, this money is completely unexpected.

"I never thought that there would be such a thing in this world."

The friend's voice reached Ding Yujie's ears, making him turn his head and ask.

"what?"

“It’s just money!”

Cheng Zhixing said:
"I have lived for most of my life and have seen officials extorting money from the land. Even an honest official has to squeeze out some money. If I really come across one who collects taxes according to the rules, it must be God's mercy! But when have I ever seen something like this? Not only do they return the taxes they collect, but they even give out dividends every year..."

The tax refund he mentioned refers to personal income tax. Here, as long as there is income, you will pay taxes. If you don't pay taxes, you will not get benefits. This is a basic principle. Even elementary school students know very well that the benefits they enjoy are never given, but provided by the taxes paid by their parents.

The concept of taxpayers is instilled in them even in kindergarten. Of course, there is also the idea of ​​"no taxes, no welfare." In fact, this idea was "created" by Li Yian because he witnessed the strange phenomenon that the social welfare of the United States and Europe was pierced by a group of illegal immigrants.

In the UK and other European countries, illegal immigrants from Africa and the Middle East can not only live in government-provided houses, enjoy basic living expenses and free medical care and housing, but also receive a large amount of child support if they have children. There is a strange phenomenon there: a black woman who has six or seven children can earn more than an ordinary working woman.

And who paid that money?

It is precisely the locals, the real backbone of society, who pay taxes to ensure their own and their children's welfare, but instead their taxes are enjoyed for free by the illegal black and green immigrants who have taken over their place.

What is even more annoying is that because the expenditure is too high, the government has to increase taxes. Who should collect the taxes? Of course, the hard-working locals. As for those foreign immigrants, why should they work?

They came to Europe just to enjoy the welfare! Just have children!
In short, in order to avoid this strange phenomenon, strict welfare policies are formulated. If new immigrants do not work and pay taxes, they cannot enjoy any welfare. In addition, in order to avoid the decline in fertility due to singleness, there are also targeted personal tax policies.

In a word, this is shared, but the premise of sharing is that individuals must make contributions.

And that's why they say - we are willing to give everything for each other, because everyone knows where everything they enjoy comes from.

"That's not true. This is the only one of its kind in the world!"

They are all in their forties and have lived for so many years, but they have never seen anything like this.

"Retirement, medical care, plus this dividend..."

After taking a sip of beer, Cheng Zhixing showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then he said:
"I've lived for most of my life, and I still think I'm just dreaming!"

"Dream……"

Ding Yujie muttered,

"Yes, if this is really a dream, then don't wake up again. By the way, Zhizhixing, Uncle Liu seems to be retiring in the next two days. When the time comes, let's go see him together!"

retire!
It is an extremely new word for this land. After all, this is a place dominated by immigrants. Most of the immigrants at that time were young and middle-aged people, with only a few older people.

That is why no one retired until the last one or two years.

However, soon, Ding Yujie and the others were attracted by the football match on TV. Several men and children immediately watched the game attentively. Today was the home game of the Red Hunters. Although they were at home, they still wore the Red Hunters uniforms.

In fact, there are more people watching games in the bar. Football has long become a part of many people's lives.

Last year, in the World Cup in Chile, the national football team, which was participating in the World Cup for the first time, made it all the way to the quarter-finals, but ultimately lost to the Chilean team.

Despite this, last year's World Cup match is still talked about with relish. After all, it was their first time to participate in the Football World Cup, and the exciting match also made people very excited.

The game between the Red Hunters and the Crocodiles that night was also an extremely exciting game. The next day, people were talking about this game on the subway.

"That kick by Tietui Liu was really beautiful!"

"Frank's blocking was absolutely amazing..."

Listening to others discussing the game, Liu Daming sat there, always a little distracted. He didn't know how many years it had been since the subway was completed. He took this subway from home to the factory every day.

Over the years, Liu Daming has long been accustomed to this kind of life and he likes this kind of life very much.

Although he is 65 years old, he likes this kind of life.

But now?
"Today is the last day!"

After entering the subway station, Liu Daming got off the train, and after leaving the station, he took a few bus stops and finally arrived at the factory. The factory was not big, it was a factory that produced mechanical parts. When the owner was in Shanghai, he was doing this business, and Liu Daming was originally a packer in the factory, a job that did not require any skills.

However, he has been working diligently over the years and arrives at the factory about 20 minutes early every day, and today was no exception.

However, today, as soon as he arrived at the factory, the clerk Xiao Chen ran over to him and said:

"Uncle Liu, the factory director wants to see you."

The factory manager wants to see me?
Although he was a little confused, Liu Daming still went to the factory director's office. As soon as he arrived, the factory director Sun Dechang greeted him and said with a smile:
"Lao Liu, congratulations, you are the first person in our factory to retire. How are you doing? What are your plans for the future?"

Liu Daming understood from the factory director's words that the factory director was going to "drive people away".

"No, I don't have any plans. Thank you for your concern."

"Look at what you said. Ten years ago, when I came here to set up a factory, the employment agency introduced you to our factory. It was fate that brought us together. Over the years, Lao Liu, you have been working very hard. I have seen it all..."

As Sun Dechang spoke, he picked up a red envelope from the table and said:

"Now that you're retired, you've worked in the factory for so many years, the factory has to give you some money. It's not a lot, just consider it a gift to you!"

"Director, this, this is not possible."

"It's the factory's rule! It's as it should be."

As he spoke, Sun Dechang said with emotion:

"Retirement, retirement is good! I also want to retire...Okay, let's not talk about this. So, you don't have to work anymore today, Lao Liu. Check what you need to pack and get ready. In the evening, we will have a farewell party for you in the cafeteria."

Finally, he emphasized:

"By the way, I've already told the accountant that your salary will be paid monthly, but your pension insurance and medical expenses can only be settled according to regulations..."

"Thank you for your care, Director."

In this way, Liu Daming began his retirement life. Although he was not used to this kind of life of doing nothing, he still had to live.

On the day he retired, his number was exactly 1000.

This number indicates that he is the 1000th retired corporate employee in the local area.

The incident even made the local news that day. After all, after all these years, the number of retirees finally exceeded 1000!
This is definitely worthy of being written in the newspaper. When ordinary people see this news, they understand that their retirement is just around the corner, not just written on paper.

For some people, when they see this 1000, they feel more emotional.

“That’s the beauty of this land.”

In the office of an American company, Hansen put down the newspaper in his hand and said:
"Compared to other countries, there is absolutely no historical baggage here. This historical baggage is not just political, such as land, resources, and politics. For many countries, the biggest obstacle in their development is too much historical baggage."

Glancing out the window at the bustling city before him, he continued.

"But there is no such baggage here at all. Even in terms of human resources, they don't have any historical baggage."

The person sitting opposite him asked
“Is it because those people are immigrants?”

"Yes, most of the immigrants who come here are young and middle-aged. So they don't need to worry about retirement, and they don't even need to think much about medical care, after all, those people rarely have diseases.

Until now they have only a few thousand or 10,000 people receiving pensions, whereas in the United States, tens of millions are receiving pensions.”

Hank looked at the man in front of him and said:
"Because of this, they can go all out to develop the economy without having to consider other constraints. In the end - look here..."

Hank pointed out the window and said to the people around him.

"Isn't it amazing that they created all this in just over a decade?"

"Yes, when I was in New York, I often heard people mention this place. Everyone would describe it as a miracle, so I came here."

The young man standing next to Hank thought for a moment, then said:

"But I think everything here cannot be replicated in other places. After all, this place is completely different from many places."

Hank nodded and said.

"You are quite right, but this does not prevent many countries from regarding the miracle here as a success and learning from it."

After hearing what Hank said, the young man next to him thought for a moment and said.

"They never understand that, although there may be exceptions occasionally, the fate of some countries is predetermined..."
