Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 605 - 211: Benefiting the Hometown, President Sun Invests Heavily
Now there’s a very popular comment left under a relationship blogger online.
If the expenses of blind dating are covered by the woman, I can be lukewarm until they hit menopause.
This statement sounds a bit sensational, but it does reflect the mindset of some men in the country.
Some women really go overboard.
As the saying goes, where there’s oppression, there’s resistance.
The majority of male compatriots have finally awakened, starting to open their eyes and see the world. This is well reflected in the cold atmosphere of various Valentine’s Days in the past two years.
Domestic Valentine’s Days include though not limited to: 2.14 Western Valentine’s Day, Qixi, the traditional domestic Valentine’s Day, 3.14 White Day, 5.1 Made-up Valentine’s Day, 3.7 Goddess Day (almost like Valentine’s Day), and more.
It can only be described with one word: terrifying as hell.
No wonder this male colleague shared his heartbreaking seven-year marathon chase for love (seven-year simp career), others could deeply relate.
This issue was raised with a high pitch.
But the scope was well controlled.
Initially, it started slowly spreading from blue-collar workers.
Because they are the most difficult ones.
As for the other white-collar workers, relatively they are much better off, whether in terms of salary, job position, or social status, it’s easier for them to get married.
The following weekend, the company indeed arranged an online video blind date activity for them.
Language barrier?
No worries.
Real-time translation on the internet is now very simple.
The marriage agency specially prepared many headset-type real-time translation devices for this event, high-tech, you know.
As for how they communicate in private after they pick someone, the company doesn’t get involved.
If you’re not even willing to spend a little time learning some daily language for marrying a virtuous wife, then you can only say you deserve to be a bachelor for life.
Because the language and culture over in Little Day belong to the Chinese cultural sphere, learning a bit of daily communication language is not too difficult.
Also, the companies over in Little Day also train the women to learn Mandarin.
It’s a mutual endeavor.
The matter of the company giving out wives from Little Day has quietly spread.
But it hasn’t caused much of a stir.
Because this matter sounds utterly ridiculous.
Many people think it’s a rumor the moment they hear it.
Since when were capitalists this generous?
Have capitalists stopped eating meat and started eating veggies?
This is good, it can reduce quite a bit of pressure on the company from domestic public opinion.
After all, if those Little Fairies knew, they’d be jumping up and down cursing.
This is a blatant infringement on their interests.
As the saying goes, cutting off someone’s financial resources is like killing their parents.
Although Sun Dasheng is not afraid of them, there’s a saying, "A toad doesn’t bite people, but it gets under your skin."
In Little Day, a somewhat carefree Sun Dasheng ultimately returned to his loyal Shanghai City at the end of June.
The system rewards arrived as expected.
After spending on 63 billion in Baidu stocks, a 36 billion Mazda acquisition, and a 1.4 billion luxury home purchase, he returned to having 300 billion in cash, reaching 363.6 billion.
Busy at the company for a while.
Suddenly received a call that was unexpected but also reasonable.
Local officials from his hometown called.
Inviting the outstanding entrepreneur to come and see.
The meaning between the lines was quite straightforward, just short of shouting directly in his ear: Now that you’re a successful entrepreneur, it’s time to do some real work for the local people.
More bluntly: I, the official, want money.
Of course, this money isn’t for personal use, but for investment in his hometown.
Investments make achievements, and achievements make promotions easier.
More shamelessly: Wanting both the achievements from your investment and to pocket a bit of your investment money for personal use, improve the quality of life, officials have to eat too.
But based on Sun Dasheng’s dealings with this official over the years, he’s not that kind of person.
Furthermore, his reputation back home is pretty good.
At least he’s done quite a bit of real work, benefiting his hometown.
....
Jingzhou is a city wrought with sadness.
It has history if you want history, culture if you want culture, economy if you want economy.
The saddest part is, despite having historical roots, it achieved little in terms of distinction.
Only recently under the With Hui program did it gain a bit of attention.
Really must thank Shaanxi kid Yu Hui.
Without him, the city would continue to languish in obscurity.
Sun Dasheng’s hometown is just an ordinary small county under Jingzhou.
Placed among over 2,000 counties nationwide, it would still belong to the silent type.
Because it’s located on the Jianghan Plain, during the agricultural era it had geographical advantages, thus the county population was large.
But in the industrial era, it fell completely behind.
The population turned into a burden.
Most people became labor exports, heading south for work.
Luxurious convoy driving towards the county before exiting the highway.
To show a grand welcome.
The county committee leaders all showed up.
Sun Dasheng saw their sincerity, changed cars at the highway’s exits, and personally had a good chat with Secretary Zhu from the county.
Firstly, to ask about their plans, see if they’re just momentarily hyped, people die and plans cease, or if they have a long-term strategy and truly want to do something real for the people.
Secondly, to ease their minds, expressing that since he’s back, he definitely will invest in some industries, as for which kind and how much, that’ll be discussed after investigation.
Secretary Zhu expresses understanding: "President Sun, your idea and concerns are well understood by me and the county committee, the government’s past actions have hurt those bosses who wanted to repay their hometown, making everyone avoid it now, I want to change that, to change people’s perceptions of the government, and make them believe in the government again."
