Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 504 Titan Corporation Audit Incident
South Third Ring Road.

The Nanyang Expo, jointly organized by the Vietnam-Hong Kong-Macau economic circle, is unprecedented in scale and grandeur.

Take South Vietnam as an example.

Free samples are available in the fruit section, including durian honey, red-fleshed durian, longkong fruit, black persimmon, and more.

Free samples are available in the food area, including curry, fish sauce, dried fruit, mung bean cake, durian products, and more.

Buy one get one free on handicrafts, including drip curry pots, Vietnamese batik, Vietnamese palm mattresses, Vietnamese palm brown sugar, Vietnamese latex mats, various lacquerware and wood carvings, various shell inlays, and more.

Daily necessities were available for on-site trial, including White Tiger Balm, Viet Minh perfume, Viet Minh Ao Dai, Viet Minh woven hats, agarwood products, and more.

Read books about South Vietnam for free, including South Vietnamese history, geography, magazines, novels, and more.

The South Vietnam Electronics Products Exhibition Area features South Vietnam songs, films, technology products, and more.

The Nanyue Folk Customs Street includes a variety of performances, traditional taboos, festival foods, Nanyue drinks, wedding customs, public etiquette, and more.

Corresponding.

Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia have additional events including introductions to androgynous individuals, performances by androgynous individuals, a androgynous beauty pageant, and a androgynous beauty contest...
All of these factors combined to attract millions of visitors to the expo.

People from rural areas surrounding Shiliying Street also came to watch.

However, with more people, there will always be unexpected events and exceptions.

Just like Ah Wei, who wished he were a girl since childhood, after going home, he picked up a pair of scissors and snipped his crotch...
Then the faction opposing Shiliying Street pushed the matter into the news.

The photos also included images of employee A embracing a person of gender, employee B kissing a person of gender, employee C touching a person of gender's buttocks, and so on.

Until noon.

The angry remarks criticizing the Shiliying Subdistrict Office and Lao Huang have spread across the internet.

···
Yu Yang did not believe that the subdistrict office had done anything wrong.

After all, the gender-neutral project is indeed attractive.

The reason for criticizing Lao Huang is simply because he's disappointed in Lao Huang's lack of self-confidence. If someone criticizes you, you should criticize them back.

Upon hearing that Lao Huang was going to quit, he immediately returned from Jishui to the South Third Ring Road.

The Shiliying Subdistrict Office has moved from the old grain depot to the administrative hall, which is located on the left and right of the Sanyuan Agricultural Headquarters.

Yu Yang walked into the reception hall of the subdistrict office, where Lao Huang was huddled behind the front desk with the deputy township head and the director of the investment promotion office, enjoying a hearty meal of dried durian from the South Vietnam.

Actually, Lao Huang is quite capable in administrative management.

Just like his paper published last year, 'On Urban Development - Huang Ganchen'.

Roughly speaking:
Cities are like bloodsucking machines, absorbing surrounding population and resources while simultaneously drawing on the power of development through natural selection to ultimately achieve their annual goals.

The population absorbed includes highly educated talents and valuable labor.

The resources absorbed include minerals, crude oil, equipment, wealth, and projects.

From a macro perspective, an average college graduate can generate at least 10 times their own income in GDP for the city.

This is not only reflected in clothing, food, housing, transportation, and medical care, but also in start-up funds provided by parents far away, or borrowed from relatives, friends, and financial institutions.

If this ordinary college student dedicates his youth, sweat, dreams, and love to achieving success within five years, he can generate at least 1 times his own income in GDP for the city.

If an average college student exhausts all his resources and ultimately fails after five years, he can still generate at least 1000 times his own GDP for the city before eventually leaving.

In short, the city will not lose out.

Similarly, migrant workers, entrepreneurs temporarily residing in the city seeking opportunities, and overseas friends who immigrate to the city to experience life... they can all contribute to the city.

The criteria for attracting college students, laborers, entrepreneurs, and overseas friends include not only the city's own development but also its cultural environment and its exposure.

For example, Shili Camp.

The cultural environment includes the Dongyue Scenic Area, the Taoist gathering point in the southern mountainous area, the Liangshan Water Margin Scenic Area, the Buddhist holy site of "Sea Changes into Land", the Sky Garden with its AI supercomputer, the simulated beach with four 999-meter-high buildings, the Ocean World, the Three-System Zoo, the Three-System Botanical Garden, and the Shili Folk Street - the main road of Shili Camp...
City exposure includes hosting sporting events, international dance competitions, space exhibitions, major festivals, international trade fairs, etc.
In other words, you must have something unique about yourself in order to attract more people to learn about you.

No matter who comes, the more people who understand you, the better you can choose from the best among the worst and keep the talent you want.

Of course, any manager with a brain should understand and practice the above principles.

The reason Shili Camp was successful, and why it did better than any other region, is because we did more than 'management with brains' could do.

For example, we should pay attention to college students' entrepreneurship, college students' unemployment, and college students' salaries and medical insurance.

For example, we should pay attention to the living environment of migrant workers, their physical health, their employment, and their social security.

For example, focusing on the schooling of left-behind children, their mental health, and their family problems...
For example, the "Ten-Mile Assistance for the Disabled" project, the "Ten-Mile Support Project," and the "Ten-Mile Anti-Bullying System"...
Therefore, urban development is not about turning cities into cold, lifeless machines, but about striving to build cities into warm and inviting homes that everyone longs for.

Therefore, Shili Camp welcomes you!

···
According to statistics, in the past five years, Shiliying Subdistrict Office has attracted more than 1500 million people to Shiliying Subdistrict and sent out nearly 1200 million skilled workers, promoting the super-fast development of the four southern provinces and enabling the economic take-off of the peripheral towns in the five surrounding provinces.

It's fair to say that Lao Huang is highly regarded in Beijing.

However, Lao Huang is indeed under a lot of pressure.

The main point is that Shiliying Subdistrict, as a 'pilot area for township enterprise reform', has five sources of fiscal revenue.

First, enterprises receive annual budget allocations based on the contributions of the subdistrict offices, including overall publicity effectiveness, the number of talents attracted, the cultural environment of the subdistrict, tax and fee reductions for enterprises, preferential industrial policies, etc. For example, Sanyuan Agriculture receives 20 billion yuan in cash annually, Sanyuan Heavy Industry receives 50 billion yuan in cash annually, Sanyuan Construction receives 100 billion yuan in cash annually, and so on. The total annual budget allocation is approximately 4000 billion yuan.

Secondly, the profits come from the street office's own businesses, namely the street office's state-owned enterprises, including the street office's highway service area (as the street expands to the Third Ring Road, it now includes not only the 385 section entrance and exit, but also the Heshi service area, Kaifeng factory service area, Liaoshi factory service area, etc.), the street office's guesthouse, the street office's fruit shop, the street office's souvenir shop, etc., with an annual income of approximately 600 billion yuan.

Thirdly, there are immigrants from the street offices, including overseas students and various types of refugees, such as Iraqi Prime Minister Saddam Hussein and the Syrian governor and his wife, etc., with a total annual income of about 1700 billion red dollars.

Fourthly, tourism revenue, including Mount Tai, Liangshan Marsh, the Changhai Sangtian Scenic Area, the Sky Garden, the simulated beach, the three tallest buildings, the Ocean World, etc., generates a total annual revenue of approximately 400 billion yuan.

Fifth is the income from "selling dogs". This does not refer to selling dogs, but to certain businesses that are inconvenient to record in the accounts, including selling information about the three systems, selling technology of the three systems, capturing overseas spies for money, etc., with a total annual income of 2500 billion red banknotes.

Taking 2004 as an example, the total fiscal revenue of Shiliying Subdistrict Office was about 950 billion yuan, almost twice that of Shanghai.

The income of nearly one trillion yuan in foreign currency seems like a lot.

But you have to spend money everywhere in Shiliying Street.

Street management system, street greening project, street sanitation system, street traffic system, street drainage system, street power supply system...

Furthermore, there are expenditures on public welfare undertakings, including employee activity centers, employee health management centers, employee central hospitals, community support service centers, schools for migrant workers, and nursing homes for migrant workers...
All of these factors account for one-fifth of the total income each year.

Then there's street construction, including the Shiliying main road, the Third Ring Road elevated highway, the Third Ring Road elevated suspension rail, the Third Ring Road subway, the Third Ring Road Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal expressway, the Third Ring Road Grand Canal theme park...

The elevated bridge costs 5000 million yuan per kilometer, and the entire circumference of Shiliying Street is approximately 500 kilometers long, with a total investment of 300 billion yuan.

The suspension track costs 3000 million Hong Kong dollars per kilometer, with a length equal to that of the elevated railway, plus stations, for a total investment of 380 billion Hong dollars. The subway costs 1.5 million Hong dollars per kilometer, with four north-south lines and two east-west lines, totaling 550 kilometers in length, plus stations, for a total investment of 900 billion Hong dollars.

The total investment in the main roads, expressways, and canal-themed parks is over 100 billion yuan.

In addition, there are tax rebates, support, rewards, and capital injections for companies surrounding the three systems, with annual expenditures of nearly 3000 billion yuan.

If we include the "East-West poverty alleviation cooperation" and "one-on-one assistance" required by higher authorities, namely "Shiliying Street → Wudu", the street office also needs to allocate 700 billion yuan in cash to Wudu every year, plus some corporate resources.

If the amount to be turned over is included, it amounts to approximately 1100 billion yuan in foreign currency, leaving the Shiliying Subdistrict Office almost in a deficit.

So Old Huang's hair turned white with worry.

Yu Yang patted Huang Ganchen's shoulder with concern, "You've really worked hard. You should probably get your hair dyed."

Old Huang, with a dried durian in his mouth, looked up and said, "I spent over two hundred yuan to finally get my hair dyed a full head of silver. You want me to dye it back? Isn't that a waste of money?"

"You dyed it?"

"If I don't dye my hair, how did it turn white overnight? No, how did it turn white from worry in just one afternoon?"

"···"

"Hey, Xiao Yu, don't go! Can we make this expo a little bigger?"

How big of a deal?

"Invite another group of androgynous people and hold a Miss Universe pageant."

"Forget it, it's only been half a day and they've already caused a 'penis-cutting' incident. If we expand the publicity, we might be facing the LGBT problem from federal capital."

Old Huang had long been aware of the liberal culture in North America and retorted, "You're clearly avoiding the issue. The more you hide it, the more curious people with certain psychological problems become and the more they want to imitate them. On the contrary, by using androgynous people as negative examples, we can completely eliminate the feminization culture from its root."

"That makes sense. I'll leave this to you."

"Leave it to me? I've already said I'm not doing it anymore."

"Then we'll cancel your pension benefits."

"I'll do it!"

"very good."

Yu Yang turned and left.

Old Huang was slightly taken aback. "I said I'd do it! It means 'fuck'!"

Yu Yang walked out of the reception hall without looking back and took out his buzzing Titan phone.

"crooked?"

"Chairman Yu, the Carlyle Group of the Old Brooks family, and KPMG of the Smith family, on behalf of investors and shareholders, have requested an audit of Titan Company."

"Let them investigate. We haven't done anything wrong, so what's there to be afraid of?"

"The problem is that all the research positions are filled with old men and women, which looks fake."

"Then move it out."

"It's too late. Their business jet has already arrived at Hang Gai Si International Airport and is queuing to land."

"Can't take it down?"

"Take it down?!"

"Never mind, I'll think of something."

···
East Third Ring Road, Titan (Eastern) Headquarters.

When Yu Yang arrived at the company's main gate, eight elderly security guards, who were sitting on small stools basking in the sun, greeted him with their toothless mouths open.

"The CEO is back."

"Hey, you guys take a rest. If you're cold, come inside the hall."

Yu Yang walked into the lobby, where four young girls who had stayed by his side stood at the front desk, along with three robot vacuum cleaners.

But in the negotiation area, there were seven or eight elderly people sitting on the sofas, some holding rags and others carrying brooms, playing "old cards," which are long, thin playing cards similar to mahjong.

Upon arriving on the second floor, I found myself at the front desk, where two young women had stayed by my side through thick and thin.

In the 2500-square-meter office area at the back, the workstations are arranged in a staggered manner, all equipped with MT massage chairs, and have an employee health management system and an employee physiological monitoring system.

Inside the massage chairs, elderly people were lounging, some watching movies on computer screens, others listening to operas with headsets, and still others talking on the phone with their children...
The two young women at the front desk greeted him, "Mr. Yu, our nursing home..."

"What nursing home? This is Titan Corporation, a foreign company."

"Oh, I see. Recently, a group of elderly people, about 1300 in total, have come to Beijing. They are said to be from wealthy families or parents of high-ranking officials. They want to move in. Money is not a problem, but there are no office spaces available."

"15 office spaces, gone so quickly?"

"When we opened, we recruited 8.3 research staff, which were mostly people over 80 years old; 1.3 administrative staff, which were mostly people over 70 years old; and 4.2 sales staff, which were mostly people who had just retired. Later, a batch of people were transferred from the factory, and the factory was basically full."

After the young woman finished speaking, a page resembling a hospital ward management system popped up. "Currently, there are only two office spaces available on the 32nd floor of Building E. The Sun family from Beijing has reserved them for 130 million yuan per year, and the Liu family has reserved them for 135 million yuan per year."

"Furthermore, there has been a serious problem with dating in Building C recently. Many people are frequently changing beds, and even though we have asked for a 1 yuan adjustment fee, the team can't stop them."

"There are also the elderly people on the 28th floor of Building G who have joined together to demand two more bags of fruit puree every day. Even when we said that the extra fruit puree would cost 50 yuan a bag, they still insisted on eating it."

"By the way, in Building H, an advanced research area, two elderly people passed away peacefully. Their children have been notified, and the Red and Black Group will be handling the funeral arrangements tomorrow morning..."

With his mind focused on checking the accounts, Yu Yang had no time for these trivial matters. "You guys handle it."

After speaking, he took the elevator from the second floor directly to the president's office on the 33rd floor of Building A.

Occupying an entire floor, the room, 600 meters long and 80 meters wide, is filled with various emergency medical equipment from the central hospital.

The chairman's assistant, a head nurse from the Central Hospital, hurriedly came forward and said, "Chairman Yu, the auditors have arrived at Han Gaixi International Airport and are expected to arrive in another hour. It will be difficult to move these devices out of the country."

"Even if we move the equipment out, we still can't handle hundreds of thousands of elderly people."

Yu Yang sat down at the chairman's desk, pretending to type on the keyboard while bringing up a 3D bird's-eye view of Titan Corporation.

When I noticed that Building J was separated from Sanyuan High-Tech's new building by only one wall...

"Change the nameplate of Sanyuan High-Tech to Titan Company, and then change the nameplate of Titan Company back to Sanyuan High-Tech. I will take them to Sanyuan High-Tech to check the accounts."
