912 Lantern

As night fell, Zuo Liang finally finished his day's work and returned to his home at No. 202, 2nd floor, Unit 2, Building 2, Junma Plaza Apartment.

Zuo Liang's job is actually very simple, but the reward is generous. Otherwise, Zuo Liang would not be able to afford his current apartment. All of this is due to the high welfare of Chuntian Company. In fact, Zuo Liang just joined Chuntian Company a year ago, but with his outstanding work ability, Zuo Liang finally became a formal employee of Chuntian Company three months ago, thus obtaining the qualification to borrow from Bank of America. Zuo Liang bought this small apartment as soon as possible. Although the area is not large, it gave Zuo Liang a sense of belonging to the city of New York for the first time.

It’s not OK to buy it. Three months ago, Zuo Liang’s wife was six months pregnant. The appearance of the child was an accident, but it was enough to make Zuo Liang ecstatic. Although many of the brothers around him married Chinese, Zuo Liang still insisted on marrying Eva home, not for anything else, but just for the children in Eva’s belly.

"Is the work going smoothly today?" Eva, who returned to the family, is definitely a good wife and mother. As soon as Zuo Liang entered, Eva took her slippers, took Zuo Liang's coat and hat and put it on, and turned around and kissed her.

"Everything is normal, my dear, are you doing well today?" Zuo Liang had already smelled the fragrance of the refried meat. This was the smell of home, which made Zuo Liang extremely attached.

"It's great. In the afternoon, Lao Zhang sent Spring Festival couplets, a lantern, a lamb leg and a piece of beef, but our baby probably didn't like it very much. When he smelled the mutton, he gave me a few kicks." Eva was about to give birth and her body was inconvenient. She placed the lamb leg and beef on the table in the living room. Before she could clean it up, Zuo Liang remembered that the Lunar New Year was coming, and lamb leg and beef were both benefits of Chuntian Company.

Most of the employees of Springfield Company are Chinese, so at Springfield Company, the meaning of the Lunar New Year is no less than that of Christmas. During Christmas, Springfield Company's welfare is apples and steak, while the Lunar New Year is lamb legs and beef. In terms of value, the value of lamb legs and beef is obviously greater than that of apples and steak.

The 19th century is not the 21st century. The Chinese Spring Festival has little influence. Every Spring Festival, Junma Group will hold large-scale celebrations, but Chuntian Company dare not be so arrogant. This year is different. Perhaps because Chuntian Company's influence is increasing day by day. This year, Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang have prepared lanterns and Spring Festival couplets for all employees. On the Spring Festival, Chuntian Company will also celebrate fireworks, and there will also be dragon dances and lion dances in Junma Forum. Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang are preparing to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year as a carnival. This has received support from the New York City Government and will definitely be very lively at that time.

It must be admitted that compared with Christmas, the Chinese Spring Festival has a more festive atmosphere, such as lanterns, Spring Festival couplets, firecrackers, and float parades. This is completely the standard configuration of the carnival. There is nothing more suitable for celebration than bright red. The New York City Government is even planning to decorate the Fort Park into a theme park during this Spring Festival, so that the white people in New York can fully understand the meaning of the Spring Festival and share the joy of the Chinese.

"No, no, maybe it's not because you don't like it, but because you're so excited. Our manager knew you were about to give birth. He gave me a three-month vacation. I won't have to go to work tomorrow. In another week, you will be admitted to an affiliated hospital for delivery. Our manager contacted Dr. Betty from the affiliated hospital. Maybe you don't know that Dr. Betty was Mr. Reim's family doctor in the past. Mr. Reim's daughter and son were delivered by Dr. Betty. Our children will definitely be healthy and safe." Zuo Liang helped Eva to the dining table and sat down. The child was the center of the future of this family, and everything was put on the child first.

"Three months, are you paid?" Eva's focus and Zuo Liang were not on the same channel at all.

"Of course, there will be a salary of 15 times. There will be a parenting fee after the child is born. Don't worry, my salary is enough to make you have enough food and clothing." Zuo Liang returned to his seat and picked up the wine glass and drank it all. This was a wine with a meal, only this one.

Springfield Company has always been known for its welfare, and in some aspects, it is even better than Junma Group's welfare. This is because Springfield employees face greater dangers, but Zuo Liang does not have this concern. Zuo Liang's department is responsible for pension projects and does not have to fight and kill, otherwise Zuo Liang would not dare to marry Eva.

It sounds a bit sad, but the gangsters on the street are not worthy of having a family at all. If they have to force it, it is irresponsibility to the family and family. When they were collecting protection fees on the streets, Zuo Liang did not dare to expect to own a family because Zuo Liang was not sure whether he could see the sun tomorrow at that time.

"Is the work hard?" Eva felt sorry for her husband, but she was powerless. Now, raising children is Eva's biggest task.

"It's not hard, it's even easy. You know, pensions solve problems. When people lose their ability to work, this is very important to everyone. So as long as they have plans for their future, they should prepare a pension for themselves. Our workrooms are counting money every day and there is no need to go out to promote them. Those who are willing to consider their future will take the initiative to handle it. To be honest, I never thought that money can be made like this. Do you know? My hands are hurting now. The laboratory said that I want to develop a money counting machine, but there is no result yet. I really hope that the research and development will be successful sooner. If this continues, I will go crazy." Zuo Liang never thought that one day he can really count money and count his hands cramps. This is a happy trouble. Fortunately, from tomorrow, Zuo Liang can rest for a while. I hope that when Zuo Liang goes back to work, the laboratory has developed a money counting machine, which will be the biggest good news.

Li Mu only proposed the concept of pension and then handed it over to Chuntian Company for operation.

Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang did not disappoint Li Mu's trust. The concept of pension became very popular as soon as it was launched. Not only employees of Junma Group and Springfield, employees of the New York City Government, Standard Oil employees, and even private street owners expressed strong demand. Although the current economic situation in the United States is good, no one can be sure what the future will be like. Everyone hopes to have more protection for their future. Therefore, in just a few months, pensions became popular in New York. Statistics from Junma Telecom show that about 90% of New Yorkers want to participate in the pension system, and the remaining 10% will also consider joining the pension system in the next ten years. This proportion is amazing. Even the New York City and state governments have begun to consider the impact of the pension system on the whole society.

In fact, as mentioned above, the government is the most suitable institution for the pension system. Leaving the pension industry to private enterprises to operate is actually irresponsible to the whole society to some extent. The system of capitalist countries is very cruel. Even if a company has a bright future and good operating conditions, it will encounter various problems and may also have the risk of bankruptcy. If all this happens to the company that operates pensions, the result will definitely be disastrous.

Of course, unless it is absolutely necessary, the New York State and Municipal Government will not question the operating capabilities of Springfield Company. After all, Springfield Company has the backing of Junma Group. Even if the New York State and Municipal Government are salivating about pensions, they will not easily get involved.

This is the capitalist system. The state is the national, while politicians are funded by capitalists. Although pensions are a good project, neither the state government nor the municipal government will be involved, because it will directly compete with the Junma Group. Although this does not matter to the state government and the municipal government, it is very serious for the governor and mayor.

A very normal reason is that the governor, mayor, state government, municipal government is not the same thing. In democratic countries, officials all have term of office, and the pension system will not be effective in a short period of time. Therefore, it is very likely that even when officials step down, the pension system has not yet achieved results. It is equivalent to making wedding clothes for others, but people offend themselves. No one will do such a thing. It is too stupid.

"Last time you said that the company would solve the pension for both of us. Actually, I am not worried about this problem. If possible, I would rather leave my share to our children. Maybe this is the best gift I give to him or her." Eva is now all her thoughts on the children. If possible, Eva is willing to leave all her best things to the children.

"Don't worry, my dear, we have pensions, and our children will also have them in the future. The company is now expanding its West Coast business. After our children are born, we may have to work in San Francisco. Don't worry, there is also Junma Affiliated School in San Francisco. Our children can also study at Junma Affiliated School." Zuo Liang is full of expectations for the future, and everything is developing in a better direction.

After taking over the pension system, the development speed of Chuntian Company suddenly accelerated. Although Chuntian Company was also expanding in the past, due to its business scope, Chuntian Company's expansion speed was not fast, because the gray industries in other cities have also formed a scale. If Chuntian Company wants to expand, the first thing it has to face is the city bosses of other cities.

Now Springfield Company has finally had a legitimate reason for its expansion. The pension system has broad prospects in any city. People will worry about their future and hope to have additional guarantees when they lose their ability to work. Therefore, in a very short time, Springfield Company has covered the entire New England region and is developing towards the southern states and the West Coast. In terms of expansion speed alone, Springfield Company expands faster than Junma Group.

This is not an exaggeration. Unlike Junma Group, Springfield is a pure service industry. When conducting business in a new city, you don’t need to find an agent or prepare to display a store. Even if you only have one or two employees and have a simple office space, you can start to develop your business immediately. The cost of expansion is astonishingly low. According to Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang’s prediction, Springfield’s business will be spread throughout the United States within this year. By then, Springfield will become another force that cannot be ignored.

"It doesn't matter if it's a serious job. We'll have children right now, so what we need is a stable job." Eva is really tired of the unsecured life before. Now, for the sake of her children, it doesn't matter even if she earns less money.

In fact, there are quite a lot. Before they were exposed to pension work, Eva was a dancer in a bar and Zuo Liang was a thug in an underground casino. Strictly speaking, their jobs were not enough. Although Eva and Zuo Liang had made a lot at that time, Eva and Zuo Liang did not have the awareness of saving money, because their lives could hardly see hope and the future, so their lives are more stable now.

"Listen to my Eva, you don't have to worry about these things. Have a quick meal. We will hang the lanterns first later." Zuo Liang was a little excited. After leaving the Qing Dynasty, Zuo Liang never hanged lanterns again.

That's not right. Even in the Qing Dynasty, Zuo Liang's family had never hung lanterns during the Chinese New Year. Only those families with wealthy families were qualified to hang lanterns.
