Chapter 2266: Chapter 2086: Getting Started Not long after. The news spread. Silence! Then, a great cheer erupted. Although the headquarters of Tang Qing’s subsidiary companies mostly offer dormitory facilities, these are mainly for single employees. Once you have a family. Obviously. It’s no longer suitable to live there, so commuting to work becomes a hassle, squeezing on the bus and metro, transferring multiple times, suffering before even starting your day at work. However. With the comprehensive office building. From now on. Just a few steps, and you’re at work. It couldn’t be better. This way, you might save two to three hours of commuting each day. This means. First. You can sleep an extra hour every day. Second. You can watch two more movies. Third. ...Anyway, time will be more abundant. Oh my! So happy. Want to cry. Too touching. Of course. This way. Being so close, benefits like transportation subsidies, meal allowances, and heat allowances might be out of reach, but no one cares. Damn! Compared to this, who cares about those subsidies? Given the choice, not many people would want to spend hours commuting for a little subsidy. ... Thirty-six thousand residential units and twelve office buildings at a staggering cost. About this. None of the major subsidiary companies had any objection, even though it slightly exceeded the budget, but not by much. Altogether, it might exceed the budget by a few billion. But. Who cares, we have money! Divided up. It’s just a few billion more for each company. Among them. The wealthy ones, of course, contribute the most, like those office buildings, different from the residences, so Tang Qing made a distribution: two buildings per company. Ownership is clear. - Comet. - Qing Yuan. - Microcrystal. - Sheng Tang. - Qing Yang. - Wan Qing. The top six earning companies, two buildings each, which will be leased to each other, offsetting rents. The rest. - Sky Eye. - Zhongyu Special Guard. - Hummingbird. Need not spend money; firstly, they don’t earn much. Secondly, they rarely use them; Sky Eye is corporate services, a frontline business, seldom remote. Zhongyu Special Guard too, can’t be remote security. Hummingbird? Expecting couriers to deliver everything right to the doorstep? Ridiculous! But it’s not like they can’t use them at all; if needed, they can, but they have to pay rent. The rent is very low, almost negligible. ... Then. Quickly moved to the next step. ---Land acquisition. Without a comprehensive office building, for everyone’s commuting convenience, a good location would be necessary, but now the requirements aren’t as high. Of course. There’s one issue that can’t be ignored, which is the school district. For education, Huaxia people’s awareness is undeniable, not to be taken lightly. Regarding this. Tang Qing naturally has plans. Simple. ---Negotiate with the local area. If there aren’t suitable schools nearby or the faculty strength is lacking, then there’s no need to worry about the site selection; at worst, you can establish one, it doesn’t cost much. It doesn’t have to be too large. Just enough. Generally speaking, private schools in the compulsory education stage are quite challenging, but if there’s a ’shell’, like an affiliated primary or secondary school of a certain university. It’s much easier. However. Obviously. The situation didn’t reach that stage. The local area, once informed, was very enthusiastic about it. After all, it’s quite a significant real estate project. Moreover. There may be subsequent investments. Don’t forget. Tang Qing’s companies are wealthy, thriving, with no signs of decline. Showing some goodwill now might help you in attracting future investments. Green light for settling down? Sure. Education? The cooperation from local departments, continuous city expansion, and school construction won’t be a problem; at worst, place one right beside the neighborhood, how big a deal is that! Just like that. What initially seemed a bit challenging, went smoothly, leaving only the site selection, which was even simpler. What is Jinghua about? Real estate. Its information database includes planning and evaluation maps of major cities nationwide, constantly updated over the years, quite precise. Confirmed the area. Size. Peripherals. Facilities. Just a multiple-choice question; thus, in just three days, a complete project report was submitted, and Tang Qing, after reviewing, gave the go-ahead. ... Thus. The outside world was once again shocked. Tang Qing. Straight to the headlines the next day, numerous titles but one theme: A model Huaxia entrepreneur, a perfect boss. Many companies looked at this. Sneered. Pretended not to see. Or else? Angry? Tch! Foolish. Already out of anger; Tang Qing has been dominating the screens many times with his benefits. - Annual leave. - Travel. - Office area. - Dormitory standards. - Holiday benefits. And the one-to-one social security subsidy formally implemented on May 1st this year, pay social security till retirement after fifteen years of service, a super killer move. In conclusion. So many incentives, major entrepreneurs have become numb. Cannot. They can’t learn. No money. Most companies are still on the edge of survival, far from providing high benefits; among the few that can, bosses are unwilling to part with it. After all. Family business. Family business. Is to be passed down, expecting them to prioritize employee welfare is clearly unacceptable, and many large companies have numerous shareholders behind them. Complex interests. Money. Came in, why would it be casually given out? So. Countless entrepreneurs saw it as just a show. Many even gloated: Go ahead, go ahead, squander now, cry later when bad times come. They don’t believe that Tang Qing can always have money. Then. Without emergency funds, it would be a joke, just a temporary glory, how many rose high to host guests, only for the building to collapse. Hmph! No savings, there will be times you cry. Regarding this. If Tang Qing knew, he would surely spread his hands and say: Wanting me to go bankrupt is not easy, even if all his companies go bankrupt. He. Tang Qing. Still rich enough to rival a nation! ... August 7th. Shanghai Stock Market. Park. Tang Qing basked in the sunlight; the scorching rays only made him feel warm. Without a drop of sweat, it was yet another pleasant afternoon. Today. The 2009 enrollment at Yantang University was completed. Compared to last year, the number of students didn’t change much, still over two thousand, but the score line changed significantly. Last year. First year, well publicized. Amongst them. Ninety percent of the enrolled students exceeded the Second-rate line, thirty-five percent reached the First-rate line, achieving a great start. This year. The percentage increased again. All exceeded the Second-rate line; eighty-three percent reached the First-rate line. For such results, Tang Qing could only say one thing. ---Sorry. No choice. Behind high score admissions, more people were unfortunately filtered out, very harsh; this is after all Third-rate, further filtering leaves little choice. However. The rules are like this, selective admissions, not set by Tang Qing, but the rules of the National College Entrance Examination, with submissions from high to low for admission. Otherwise. That would be another form of unfairness.
