Star Tycoon

Chapter 229 Pattern
2018 January 3

When Tian Ersan had nothing to do, he checked housing prices in various places and found that housing prices in this world had skyrocketed.

Housing prices in several first-tier cities have reached around 70,000 yuan per square meter, while the average salary of graduates from top universities in Beijing is only 130,000 to 140,000 yuan.

Some computer science and finance majors will definitely have higher salaries, reaching an annual salary of four or five hundred thousand.

But those are the elite of the elite, a minority among the minority.

Housing prices have gone completely mad!

In most counties of Zhongzhou, the average person's salary is less than 3,000 yuan, and there is no such thing as social security.

Unemployed people who are not part of the Chengbang system do not earn high wages.

Taoxian County's income has risen accordingly. Relying on renovation and services for some people from other places, the average wage has increased to the level of the city center, although it is still some distance from the provincial capital.

If you're part of the Chengbang system, your annual salary starts at 200,000 yuan.

Construction workers and cleaners number 200,000, but in reality, the salaries of regular employees have long exceeded one million!

In this situation, just like in Cotton Town back then, outside capital is frantically speculating on houses here, wanting to make money off Tian Ersan's men.

"Damn it, these people are insane. They've driven up the price of houses near my Xingbang Street to 100,000 yuan per square meter. How am I supposed to expand in the future?"

"I make money because I have 100,000 people making money for me, and I distribute that money to 100,000 people. Plus, foreign markets and technology bring money in from outside. Do these people really think that the houses in Taoyuan County are worth that much?"

Tian Ersan frowned and quickly sighed.

In reality, it's because Xinbang Street enjoys all the benefits of Chengbang Group, including medical care, education, and employment, and receives money from time to time.

The household registration here is indeed more useful than in several first-tier cities.

"Whatever, whatever happens, happens. Anyway, a collapse in housing prices won't hurt me."

In reality, there has never been a genuine effort to suppress housing prices over the years; otherwise, they would have fallen long ago.

The city-state is inhabited by its own people, while those who buy houses are outsiders.

They talk a big game all the time, but in reality, the houses are all in the hands of rich people, which is why prices have gone up.

While I was checking Valentine's Day news, my phone suddenly rang.

[Master, Hua Yingxiong, the doctor at Huichuntang, hopes to arrange more patients for him to practice on. Right now, they're all minor ailments like fevers and colds; he wants to treat important figures and showcase his skills.]

Tian Ersan, in a very bad mood, snapped, "No way! Does he really want to be someone else's dog? Tell him if he doesn't want to do it, then get out!!"

【yes! Owner! 】

Tian Ersan was very unhappy with the old doctor's idea.

"I'm trying my best not to let you be cheap labor or work machines for others, but you insist on showing others your value!"

There are also private hospitals in the United States, but they charge very high fees, offer only average treatments, and don't see many patients.

Hua Yingxiong is a qualified doctor. If he demonstrates remarkable treatment abilities, then it won't be long before this place becomes a nursing home for retired elderly people.

Tian Ersan didn't want to cause trouble. He thought that once John Smith had mastered the space technology, they could go to the moon.

At that time, all his subordinates will go back and won't stay here to work for others and earn paper money.

Nowadays, paper money has been converted into various resources stored in space, such as ores, oil, mineral water, grains, soybeans, and frozen meat.

The perpetually troubled and disaster-ridden United States has always been the perfect excuse for John and others to over-distribute relief supplies.

To outsiders, it appears that whenever disasters such as tornadoes occur, the Smith Corporation always spares no expense in purchasing large quantities of supplies for relief efforts.

Even supermarkets, car dealerships, and helicopter companies in the United States cleared out their products, preferring to scrap a helicopter in order to save one more child.

Capitalists don't care whether John is building up his reputation or not; all they care about is selling the stockpiled goods.

We're also doubling the production of supplies like beef, milk, and bottled water, since disasters are bound to happen eventually anyway.

Beyond purchasing supplies, the Cotton City metropolitan area also has specialized human resources companies that help immigrants apply for residency and provide cheap labor for businesses and factories across the state.

A large number of technicians secretly infiltrated various industries, working hard to learn various industry knowledge.

It's still a short time now. Give us a few more years, and we'll be able to inherit, improve, and upgrade the entire set of production technologies.

It's not that the major corporations lacked awareness of prevention; it's that these were all local white people, making it impossible to guard against them.

John was destined to become president, and everyone believed that John's purpose was to confiscate factories and businesses, rather than that he was going to great lengths to learn technology.

John has always been doing good deeds, but Tian Ersan has no intention of being someone's free labor and blood donation indefinitely.

However, a large amount of money is still needed to purchase various supplies, to pay farmers to learn technology, and to buy various research materials.

When checking housing prices, Tian Ersan discovered that the situation this year was not good.

Affected by various factors, business in the physical industry has been very difficult in recent years, with a large number of people being laid off and turning to triathlon, food delivery, express delivery, and ride-hailing.

Women entered the live streaming industry a few years ago during its peak, but now the industry has entered a stable period ahead of schedule, with many streamers leaving the platform. Impacted by short videos, many streamers are now transitioning to mobile platform-based e-commerce live streamers.

Currently, this year is probably the best year yet.

Graduating from a second-tier university can get four or five job offers, while graduating from a prestigious university can easily earn a million-dollar annual salary.

The financial industry is making a fortune, with annual salaries of millions being commonplace.

"The times..."

Tian Ersan was increasingly disliking reality. He scrolled through his phone and looked at some research on it.

The researchers under my command are working on a mobile phone that can be used in space. Without considering copyright and technology patents, they have already been able to replicate the technology of several popular mobile phone chips.

***
Northwest Province

Within seven days of joining the company, Zheng Zheng, a 35- or 36-year-old scientific researcher, quickly produced a variety of top-notch technologies that were useful to the country.

This includes considerations regarding spaceflight strategies, speculations about spacecraft fuel, predictions about intelligent chips, and analysis of high-end precision equipment…

His contributions surprised some people in China, making them realize the impact of top talents on scientific and technological advancements.

Unlike Duan Tiande and Yi Xiannong, Zheng Zheng was not yet forty years old, and was in the prime of his life.

The important thing is that he has a family, a wife, children and parents, and he has never been abroad. He has been working in a research institute since graduating from university and has not made any progress for more than ten years.

****
"That's great. With Zheng Zheng around, we don't have to worry about the US blocking many technologies anymore."

"We must protect this person!"

"Chengbang Group must have an excellent talent selection mechanism, which is a key technology that we need to learn!"

"That's right. Why is it that we recruit people every year but can't find outstanding talent, while Tian Ersan can recruit top talent every few years?"

“I think it’s related to age. People like Duan Tiande and Yi Xiannong can easily contact Tian Ersan, and because they are from the same hometown, Tian Ersan will meet with them. In many places, there are too many people with connections, which prevents talented people from getting promoted. This is not good.”

Everyone is aware of the existence of connections and also wants to give preferential treatment to and attract talented people.

Thinking is one thing, doing is another. If you don't work for the benefit of your descendants, others will take all the benefits and leave their families behind.

Previously, everyone turned a blind eye, but now that talents like Duan Tiande, Yi Xiannong, Zheng Zheng, and Tian Ersan, who had been left behind, have shone, everyone has finally realized how terrifying it is.

If a few more talented individuals were left out, they could unleash terrifying power when they gathered together!

An excellent organization must attract excellent talent; otherwise, it will not be the best organization.

Realizing the alarming nature of the brain drain, the group launched a large-scale investigation centered on Tao County.

Zheng Zheng is not from Tao County, and he has only had contact with Tao County this month.

However, people across the country believe that Taoxian County is a very dangerous place and that it needs to be investigated several more times.

Even if the investigation is conducted a dozen or more times, probably no one would dare to guarantee 100% that there will be no problems.

Everyone wanted to win over Tian Ersan, but unfortunately, Tian Ersan's lifestyle was too casual, and he didn't want to work so hard or take responsibility.

Not long after, Wang Shoujie, the 30-year-old youngest sister of the Wang family, became the director of Xingbang Subdistrict, thanks to her degree from Zhongzhou University and her connections with Wangjia Village and Chengbang Group.

Tian Ersan has a good relationship with the United States, but the situation between China and the United States is starting to become tense.

Most people don't feel the difference and are still struggling with their mortgage and car loan payments, thinking about buying a house as soon as possible, otherwise the full payment will become a down payment after the house price rises.

International capital is beginning to recede, shifting towards the United States and other countries with lower labor costs.

After the industrial city was built in Cotton City, the industrial system of the Lighthouse Nation, led by the industrial city, is rapidly recovering.

In order to cope with the transfer of resources and industries, and to solve the labor shortage problem after the population reached its limit, the industrial city began to implement nine years of compulsory education for immigrant children, which instantly made countless Asians and immigrants ecstatic!
As both the world's two poles vie for technical talent and offer incentives, countries have realized they must choose sides.

However, at this critical juncture, Chai Meirong, the adoptive mother of Mu Xiuying, the female president of Chengbang, applied for resignation.

Reason for resignation: Pregnancy

***
It's normal for a woman in her thirties to get pregnant. Chai Meirong isn't She Jinhua; she's not even thirty-five yet, so it's perfectly normal for her to be pregnant.

She is dignified and virtuous, and is a recognized beauty, so it is normal for her to be pregnant.

Unexpectedly, it made sense.

After a series of negotiations and attempts to retain her, Chai Meirong resigned. As expected, she joined the legal department of Chengbang as the head of the department and became a full-time employee!
Because of Chai Meirong's incident, everyone investigated the rest of the Chengbang Group.

They were soon shocked to discover that Tian Ersan had absolutely no bottom line.

He doesn't do any real work; he just stays at the company having children with women.

One person raised the birth rate of the entire Xingbang Street.
