I stole someone else's ticket to rebirth

Chapter 386 Confession

At the beginning, the relevant American companies only made verbal condemnations, and they did not think that Li Yang could really do anything to them.

After so many years, the channels we have established are as solid as a rock and there is no possibility of any accidents happening.

But two days later, with the announcement that Jiang Banxia had passed the critical period, things suddenly began to change.

The situation began to spread from employees of Lushui Group and Jiying Group. In addition, major domestic daily chemical companies either announced additional stock issuance or announced that Lushui Group or Wanliu Capital had invested in them. The entire industry began to change dramatically.

It was not until December 2023 that Jiang Banxia made her first appearance after the "injury" and seemed to have recovered well. The video attracted 12 million likes and over million comments.

That night, Li Yang personally sent a letter to all employees.

The title is "I'm never fighting alone"

“Hello, colleagues:
First, let me tell you a secret. In fact, when I was a freshman in college, I had 10 billion in cash in my account.

I am not saying this to show off. I have never been one to show off.

At that time, I thought, what's the point of working hard when I have 10 billion? If I just put it in the bank and earn interest, my family will never be able to live off it in ten lifetimes.

But one day, Jiang Banxia suddenly said that she wanted to borrow money from me.

I said that most of the money I have is earned by you, so just take whatever amount you want. There is no need to talk about lending or not between us.

But she insisted on borrowing it, saying that she was going to make an irrational investment and would probably lose everything.

I was puzzled at the time. For such a capable person like her, what kind of investment could make her lose everything?
Later I found out that the stock was called Green Water Group. At that time, the structure of Green Water Group was very chaotic, because there was a problem in the management philosophy between the major shareholders and the minority shareholders.

Putting aside other things, I support those small shareholders because starting a company is not charity.

But logically, I admire the Green Water Group for accepting disabled people from nine nearby counties and providing jobs for thousands of families.

The amount of money was actually not much, and the impact on the entire company was minimal, but in fact there were not many companies in China willing to do so, especially at that time when the country had not yet introduced more subsidy policies, but only provided some tax exemptions.

Unlike now, the employment security for people with disabilities has reached its peak, and many companies are even willing to spend a lot of money to hire people with disabilities because it can help them make money.

Times have changed, but that doesn’t mean what Green Water Group did before is meaningless.

At that time, Green Water Group was facing the risk of being acquired. Once acquired, thousands of disabled people would not be completely homeless, but at least half of them would be laid off.

When Jiang Banxia told me this, I didn't understand why he would rather lose hundreds of millions of dollars to help Lushui Group? With those hundreds of millions of dollars, wouldn't it be better to start a company of his own? Maybe he could even hire more people.

But Jiang Banxia said that she wanted to open up, but she did not have the ability to manage it and was afraid that it would only cause more suffering.

Of course, what she cares most about is that she doesn't want me to lose too much money.

At that time, even if she had some thoughts in her mind, she had to suppress them by force.

Until I took over the Green Water Group later, Jiang Banxia was as happy as a child that night.

She asked me again and again if I could increase the benefits for employees, acted coquettishly with me, and even took the initiative to let me take advantage of her.

At that time we had just started dating, and I would blush when holding her hand.

It was that incident that gave birth to the Jiying Group.

I said at the time that the goal was to lose all the 10 billion.

I have no other thoughts, I just want to make Jiang Banxia happy.

Obviously, my decision was correct. Although I was losing money, my relationship with Jiang Banxia became closer and closer, until we were officially together, had a child, got married, and had another child...

The salaries of Jiying Group's employees generally exceeded those of peers by 30% in the beginning, and now generally exceed those of peers by 50%. This does not include various hidden benefits. Jiying Group never outsources its business and strives to give all employees high salaries and more welfare guarantees.

We even adopted unprecedented standards for layoffs. In order to prevent some people from being unable to find a job after being laid off, which would affect their future lives, we also proposed a job transfer system.

From the initial transfer within Jiying Group to the current transfer between Jiying Group and Lushui Group, I believe there will always be a position that suits a person.

There are many people applying for job transfers every day. Some technical employees feel tired and have earned enough money, so they want to find an easier job. Some employees are not competent for the job and are arranged to transfer by the company, etc.

After we transfer, we have a three-year fixed contract, which means that even if you perform poorly in these three years, the company will still pay you.

My personal efforts are insignificant to the current status of Jiying Group and Lvshui Group. The only thing I can do is spend money!
Formulate spending policies to the best extent possible and provide the best welfare benefits based on the overall environment.

The person who works the hardest is actually the one who pays the money. She worries every day whether I will not be able to pay the wages.

She even felt that making money in A-shares was too slow, so she went straight to the US stock market.

Three years ago, due to some reasons, she was no longer in charge of Wanliu Capital. Before leaving, she still secured a 3 trillion project for Wanliu Capital. She took out all the money she had saved over the years and signed an agreement with an annual interest rate of 6% for 20 years. This was to ensure that Jiying Group and Lushui Group could continue to operate smoothly in the next 20 years.

As everyone knows, I don't like to talk about feelings. At the beginning, a salesperson of Green Water World made a decision without authorization. Even if the starting point was for the good of the company, the other party was still treated as illegal. Later, Green Water Group expanded the scale of recruitment and re-hired the other party. I have always said that you come to the company to work, and the money the company gives you is what you deserve. You don't owe the company anything. As long as you do your job well, nothing else has anything to do with you.

Every day I receive a lot of messages from employees in my mailbox, and so far there are hundreds of thousands of them.

Some people told me that they had problems at home and wanted to borrow some money from the company. Others suggested that the company was too extravagant and wasteful, and that many welfare benefits were completely unnecessary and that a lot of expenses could be saved.

But so far, no one thinks the salary is too low. After this, you can still email me. If you think the salary is too low, please tell me at any time. If there is evidence to prove that you can earn more in other companies, I promise to give you a salary increase as soon as possible.

We are colleagues, we met by chance, we are not related or friends, so we just need to talk about money honestly.

But this time, I want to talk about feelings.

Not for me, but for her.

Jiying Group and Lushui Group will never change their original intentions and will always put the interests of customers and employees first and the interests of investors last. I also promise that I will never reduce my holdings of Lushui Group shares.

The only thing we are talking about today is that we hope everyone can support our own products and not become an accomplice in hurting her!
I have been doing this for her from beginning to end. If she is gone..."

Here, the content of the letter came to an abrupt end.

Li Yang didn't continue speaking, but his attitude was clear.

This matter concerns the interests of everyone. Once something happens to Jiang Banxia, ​​no one will be able to continue living such a comfortable and happy life now.

Many jobs at Jiying Group and Lushui Group are indeed tiring, but the benefits are definitely beyond imagination and are impossible to get in any other company.

There are only some management levels. Other companies used to think of poaching people with a premium, but after poaching them over the years, they found that they were useless. Now there are no such suckers, and the management level has gradually become clear about its own positioning.

Being able to make so much money at Jiying Group does not mean that you can make the same amount of money elsewhere, not to mention the stability.

Li Yang's behavior does not represent any other standpoint, it is simply an emotional standpoint.

He is not afraid of others sanctioning his company, even though Jiying Automobile has recently started overseas business.

However, overseas business has not accounted for a very high proportion in recent years.

The domestic market worth more than one billion is enough for him to dig deep into for many years.

There is no way he would stop doing this just because of the small amount of overseas profits.

Just because of this letter, the domestic sales of American daily chemical companies in December dropped by 16%.
It doesn't seem like a big drop, but it's enough for them to start losing money.

They certainly cannot tolerate this kind of situation.

Using employment, factories, etc. as bargaining chips, he put pressure on Li Yang through others.

But who dares to put pressure on Li Yang?
Even advertisements for daily chemical products have been replaced by advertisements for new domestic products, because TV stations, media, etc. will use the advertisements of whoever pays the most.

Before they knew it, it was January 2024. The global economy was further declining, and the daily chemical industry had already entered the stage of stock game. Now that Li Yang had done this, they were losing money every day.

But this mess can't be gotten rid of in a short time.

Especially those factories.

Even if less is sold domestically, there is still demand abroad. There is no place more suitable than China to set up a processing factory.

Layoffs?

Layoffs also come at a cost!

Generally speaking, when foreign companies lay off employees in China, they must strictly follow the labor law and may even have higher standards.

Don't follow the standards? Well, don't even think about taking the money you earned in China back home!

People are much more tolerant towards domestic enterprises. After all, many enterprises are indeed not competitive enough and do not make much money.

Then there are a bunch of people on the Internet praising the conscience of foreign companies.

The premise for foreign companies to have a conscience is that the country is strong enough and they dare not act recklessly.

Why don’t foreign companies have a conscience in Brazil? Why don’t they have a conscience in Australia? Why don’t they have a conscience in India?

And now, whenever they lay off employees, those old employees will be immediately snatched away, with better salaries and benefits.

Many old employees are waiting to be laid off.

……

"I invested more than 1 trillion yuan, but the A-share market still hasn't risen. The market index is still at 2,900 points, which is enough to show that the economic situation is very serious."

"Ah."

Jiang Banxia leaned on Li Yang's shoulder and said while eating snacks.

“When will domestic institutions be able to unite like Wall Street…”

"I'll call them to a meeting after a while!" Jiang Banxia continued to answer.

"What meeting?"

"Warning meeting! You will come then!"

"Don't go, don't go!"

"I'm the leader! Does my direct supervisor understand?"

"You don't even have a position, what kind of leader are you!"

"Anyway! If your boss tells you to go, you have to go!"

Li Yang turned his head to look at Jiang Banxia and said, "Okay! I'm coming!"

"What are you doing……"

"Listen to your leader!"

……

Late at night, Jiang Banxia asked, "Master Li, did you really start the company for me?"

"Yeah, otherwise why would I work so hard? Wouldn't it be better to just be a first-generation rich kid? I don't want any title."

"You lied. Your heart is racing."

"No, I was just thinking about something else."

"what's up?"

"The right side feels a bit empty. Do you think it would be extra safe if three people slept in one bed?"

"Who do you want to bring here? Bai Ye? Ling You? Xin Yi? Bai Yi? Yu Qing? Or..."

"Bai Ye and Yu Qing are each half right."

"Bai Yu? Yu Ye? Ye Qing?"

"Pah! You better figure out how to pay me back. Before you do, I will never remarry you. I will suffer a lot if I do that."

"Oh."

……

During the Spring Festival of 2024, Li Yang did not go back, but brought all the family members to Beijing.

The main reason is that Jiang Banxia is very busy and she is doing the final liquidation.

U.S. debt has been completely cleared, but it is almost time for liquidation of U.S. and Japanese stocks.

The U.S. stock market saw a wave of growth in the second half of 23, with an overall increase of nearly 30%. Not to mention the Japanese stock market, the Nikkei index has risen by nearly 23% since the second half of 40.

When the former stock god Buffett said he wanted to invest in Japanese stocks, it attracted a lot of global funds.

Overall, it seems that there is no problem, and the funds are indeed going according to Wall Street's expectations.

The surge in U.S. and Japanese stocks also means that the Federal Reserve can no longer hold on.

The aftereffects of the violent interest rate hikes are becoming increasingly severe. If they had not failed to reap high-quality assets and failed to pull up small countries to drive up big countries, they would have cut interest rates long ago.

Now they can only hold on, but they won't be able to hold on for long, as the only ones who can take action are still their allies, or godsons.

The godfather is dying, so he will definitely sacrifice his godson.

Jiang Banxia is also trying her best to stand her last shift.

She plans to officially leave her job in May.

The compound was very lively, after all, there were quite a lot of people coming.

Even Jiang Yaoting's entire family came.

At the dinner table on New Year's Eve, after the meal was almost over, the family was chatting there. Jiang Yaoting said to Li Yang, "Do you think we should move a key university to our county? Although the Normal University and Polytechnic Institute in the city have moved there, the overall situation is not very good. Do you have any connections in this regard?"

"Yes, Dad, which school do you want? I'll talk to you about it."

"How about Tsinghua University or Beijing University?"

Li Yang: "..."

"It's not that we can't talk about it, but they are world-class in Beijing, but in our county, they are nothing."

"Just develop it slowly. How about building a National Tsing Hua University?"

"Row!"
