Chapter five hundred and twentieth eight new troubles
At Song Lin's house, Yang Lina held the little girl in her arms and teased her gently. The smaller the child was, the cuter it was. When she grew up, she had endless worries.
"Nana, did your family really stay out all night last night?"
Yang Lina nodded: "Yes, this is the first time in my life that I encountered an earthquake. My parents-in-law, including me, were very panicked."
Wanzhou is located inland, and earthquakes rarely occur. Even if they do, they are minor and minimally felt.
Unlike this time, it woke everyone up directly.
"You are simply worrying too much. If there is a big earthquake, the first one will be the most powerful and there will be no time to react."
Song Lin comforted.
"Really? Are there many earthquakes here in the capital?"
"It's not much. Don't worry. Although we have earthquake fault zones here, they are generally not large in scale. Extreme situations like Tangshan's will only happen once in a hundred years."
"But what if?"
Yang Lina is still worried.
Who allowed them to have many children? Every child is a worry.
"If there is an emergency, it is fate. You can't avoid it by hiding. Accidents often occur when driving, so why don't you stop driving?" Aunt Liao helped to persuade.
Yang Lina nodded: "It seems so!"
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Is your family going to open a new company again?"
Song Lin asked proactively.
My uncle mentioned this matter before.
"It's not a new company. Our family already owned shares. Last year, the major shareholder withdrew and our family took over directly."
Yang Lina replied.
"I heard that tens of billions will be invested?"
"Well, more or less. I don't know the details. I just know that a large piece of land has been designated as a factory in Bohai New District, and construction will start in two days."
Aunt Liao immediately sighed and said: "Your father-in-law is still capable. He has tens of billions of funds and can take them out as soon as he wants."
"How can it be so easy? Our bread factory still owes billions in bank loans?"
Yang Lina said modestly.
In fact, the more than 20 billion yuan had nothing to do with her father-in-law. It was all earned by her husband. The father of the child is the most powerful person.
Song Lin couldn't help but joke: "Your bread factory makes so much money, why are you afraid you can't afford to pay it back?"
"Who knows? Anyway, if the loan is not repaid for a day, I will not feel at ease for a day."
"Don't worry, your family's fortune is so big that no one else can envy it. Besides, Dabao, Erbao and Xiaobao are all smart children, so just wait and enjoy the blessings!"
"Enjoying happiness? I think it's better to suffer. I'm so noisy every day that my head is about to explode."
Having said that, a trace of relief and satisfaction can still be seen on Yang Lina's face.
"Haha, it will be fine in two years."
"I'm not worried about Xiaobao. This child is smarter than his father. I never worry about reading or anything like that.
It’s just Dabao and Erbao who are giving me a headache, maybe just let me do it, since neither of them has any talent for reading, and they have hired a tutor, if it doesn’t work, it just won’t work.”
Yang Lina couldn't help but sigh.
My husband is definitely a smart man. He can make 20 billion by doing anything casually. Xiaobao has 100% inherited his father’s talent. As for the others, he must have been dragged down by him.
The reality is so cruel and hurtful.
"Why are you anxious? My child is still young. He will know how to work hard when he reaches high school."
Yang Lina shook her head: "I have given up hope. I will be satisfied if the two of them can stay in peace."
"Then to whom will your company be given in the future?"
Aunt Liao chatted about gossip.
"My father-in-law wants to pass it on to Dabao. Although they don't say it, I know that Dabao is their favorite. If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely train Dabao to take over."
"Why not give it to Xiaobao?"
"His father wants Xiaobao to start his own business, and will support a large amount of funds when the time comes, and the same goes for Erbao.
But it’s still early to say this, and I don’t know if the three of them are interested in doing business. If they are not interested, then they will have a headache.”
"It's still early, we have to wait at least ten years!"
Aunt Liao echoed.
Song Lin was very curious: "Why doesn't Brother Xu take over?"
"He is lazier than anyone else. He would rather hire professional managers than run the company himself. With his kind of temperament, you can't count on him at all."
Yang Lina smiled bitterly.
"By the way, what's the name of your new company?"
"Xinke Seaweed mainly develops edible seaweed. It is said that research and development is very difficult. The company also invited academicians from the Xia Ke Academy of Sciences to serve as consultants.
To tell you the truth, our family has no confidence in this company. Whether it can succeed or not depends entirely on luck. If it fails, it means losing everything."
In fact, Yang Lina has never understood the new company. For many people, there is basically no big difference between 20 billion or 200 billion.
Including their home.
Twenty billion is enough to last their family for several generations.
"With your father-in-law's ability, he can definitely do it." Aunt Liao comforted her.
"I'd like to thank you for your good wishes."
…
The next day, Monday, January 27th.
The first day of construction after the new year.
An announcement was suddenly made on TV, stating that the official state of emergency that had been in place for nine years would be officially lifted starting today.
The people were a little confused for a while. Everyone had been used to the state of emergency for a long time, and now the sudden return to the original state really caught everyone off guard.
Everyone has almost forgotten the previous way of life.
The lifting of the state of emergency has also had a series of impacts on society.
The first thing to be hit is food prices.
Many people believe that the food card system should be abolished next, and the price of food on the black market has dropped significantly as a result, about twice as high as the official price.
However, Xu Dong sneered at this.
Anyway, in his last life until his death, the ration card system was still "living" well, and there was no sign of its end in sight.
If he was willing, he could take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, but their family was not short of money now, and the food issue was quite sensitive, so there was no need to make a small gain at the expense of a big gain.
As soon as Xu Dong arrived at the company, Gu Haiyuan came to the door, looking very anxious.
"Lao Gu, what happened?"
"Director, did you just watch the news?"
"Are you talking about lifting the state of emergency?"
Gu Haiyuan nodded: "Yes, we are in trouble this time."
"What's wrong?"
"Director, Corey has just received a notice from the city bureau. From now on, the patrol team is required to be completely disbanded. The people below are making trouble!"
Gu Haiyuan quickly explained.
Xu Dong frowned: "What do they want to do?"
"We don't want to lose our jobs, we want to keep our jobs."
"How did the HR department arrange it?"
“The Ministry of Human Resources has only given twelve quotas for dispatch workers, and the remaining thirty-three must be returned to the labor service company.
And starting from next month, the company will stop paying corresponding wages. In other words, the processing time left for us is only a few days at the end of the month."
This is also what Gu Haiyuan is most worried about.
“How much severance package did Finance give?”
"Two thousand yuan per person."
Gu Haiyuan said bitterly.
"Zhuo, how about sending beggars away? These people have been working for seven or eight years. How can they get two thousand yuan? Even ten thousand yuan is too little for me."
Xu Dong was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.
"Director, I heard..."
"You can say whatever you want, not your mother-in-law or mother-in-law."
"Director." Gu Haiyuan reported in a low voice: "I heard that the original severance package was three months' salary, which was almost 20,000 yuan, but the registration fee was directly changed to 2,000 yuan by the boss."
"Damn, our company is not short of money, so what's the point of deducting other people's hard-earned money?"
Xu Dong suddenly remembered the previous Spring Festival welfare. Mr. Fei directly doubled the budget. Could it be that all the money was used to fill holes?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth.
"Director, what should we do?"
Xu Dong rubbed his forehead: "What did the labor service company say? Can you help them arrange new jobs?"
"I'm afraid it's very difficult. Not only us, but all the patrol teams in the capital are about to be disbanded. There are hundreds of thousands more unemployed people in the market instantly. How can there be so many job opportunities?"
Xu Dong nodded, what Lao Gu said made sense.
“Has the municipal bureau introduced any support policies?”
"Yes, there is, but the effect is very limited, otherwise everyone wouldn't be clamoring to stay."
"Lao Gu, what are your plans?"
Gu Haiyuan hesitated and tried to suggest:
"Director, there is no solution to this matter at the moment. Words alone cannot solve the problem. Do you think we should put pressure on Mr. Fei and the others?"
"How to apply pressure?" Xu Dong asked.
"For example, put a banner at the gate or something?"
Xu Dong immediately waved his hand: "Lao Gu, you are very courageous. How dare you think of such a bad idea? If Mr. Fei finds out, you, the section chief, will probably be done for."
"Director, we don't have to show up in person."
"Okay, do you think Mr. Fei is a fool? If something goes wrong, neither of us will be able to escape the responsibility. I don't care. The worst I can do is resign and go home. What about you?"
"I...I..."
Gu Haiyuan sighed deeply.
These dispatch workers had been working with him for seven or eight years, and he really didn't want to see them kicked out like trash.
"Okay, I'll come up with a solution for this matter. You go back and appease everyone first, so that they don't make trouble and remember that I am responsible for everything."
Xu Dong ordered.
"Yes, Director, I'll go back first."
Xu Dong waved his hand.
Returning to the security department, Gu Haiyuan directly recruited the dispatch workers to the office.
"Section Chief, what did the boss say?"
Datou asked on behalf of everyone.
Although Gu Haiyuan is his immediate superior, everyone is more convinced by Xu Dong. After all, most of them were brought out by Xu Dong himself, just like Datou.
Moreover, in order to win over people's hearts, Xu Dong would occasionally give small private benefits to dispatch workers. Although the items were not many, they were very practical and comparable to life-saving food.
Gu Haiyuan patted the table to calm everyone down: "The director told you not to be impatient. He will help you find a solution and will never let everyone suffer."
"The boss has spoken in person, you should feel at ease now!"
Xiang Xin comforted him.
"I feel at ease. With the boss saying this, what else are you worried about?"
"We believe Director Xu!"
"I'm telling you, the boss will never forget all of us."
