Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2557 - 2395: This Is What Life Should Be
Previously on Rebirth: Super Banking System...
Online.
A single glance.
An ocean of netizens, consumed by jealousy.
"Honestly, I'm so envious."
"Me too."
"I constantly feel my job is a sham, the company fictitious, my boss a phantom, the landlord unreal, and even my salary feels like a lie, haha!"
"Brother, please remain calm."
"A hundred thousand units! Good heavens, if only I could possess one."
"..."
A hundred thousand units; what an incredibly magnanimous employer. Although not entirely free, the subsidy is astounding, requiring only a nominal sum from the recipient.
Even in the most prominent metropolises.
Lotteries?
Residency permits?
Social security contributions?
...
All the typical hurdles for prospective homeowners vanished entirely. As long as one was employed by the company and had served for two years, acquiring a residence at a remarkably reduced price was possible.
"Starting at 120 square meters, how incredibly spacious."
"Sigh!"
"I purchased a 90-square-meter unit in Beijing, yet there's still over ten square meters of communal space; utterly outrageous, the developer's audacity is unfathomable."
"Precisely!"
"Heartless."
"I truly admire Jinghua Real Estate, owned by Tang Qing, for excluding shared areas. Despite its considerable cost, which I cannot afford, at least the pricing is transparent."
"Indeed!"
"I strongly advocate for the abolition of shared spaces; even if the per-square-meter price escalates, transparency is paramount."
"..."
For a considerable period.
Online, a fervent outcry against the practice of shared spaces erupted. Observe their dedication; promises are fulfilled. At the very least, the 120-square-meter residences boast a distinctive and innovative architectural style.
Standing in stark contrast to the monotonous, standardized constructions.
"My personal favorite remains the office buildings situated around the residential areas; it's an absolute blessing for countless white-collar professionals, eliminating the need to endure sweltering commutes."
"Pure bliss."
"I sincerely hope Tang Qing's enterprises flourish even further; if his ventures expand across all industries, that would be even more splendid. He is, without question, a truly benevolent employer."
"Absolutely."
"Regrettably, it has been an extended duration since he embarked on new industrial ventures."
"Alas!"
"..."
"If only our company's commute were this convenient, I wouldn't mind dedicating eight hours, ten, or even twelve hours to work daily; the sheer burden of commuting in major cities is simply unbearable."
"..."
Mere steps from the commercial district, an object of profound envy. Contemplate their considerate arrangements, and then reflect upon your own employer's offerings.
Buses.
Subways.
Constant, unavoidable companions.
Salaries.
Employee benefits.
Stagnant for years on end.
Truly.
Do they inhabit the same reality? It perpetually seems as though they reside in a separate dimension from the rest of us. Gazing back at our own employer, all that remains is a deep, heartfelt sigh.
Fate!
...
Just as widespread excitement permeated the air.
Abruptly.
Another announcement surfaced.
"According to credible sources, in three years' time, the subsequent phase of fundraising for housing will involve over three hundred thousand units, excluding those designated for Tang Qing's affiliated enterprises."
"Employees of certain subsidiary companies will also be eligible for these benefits."
Upon digesting this information.
An immeasurable number of individuals... experienced an even deeper wave of envy.
"I am... speechless."
"Generous beyond measure."
"..."
The news rapidly ascended to the forefront of headlines; the prospect of over three hundred thousand housing units rendered people stunned into silent awe. Imagine if each unit were to shelter a family of three.
This initiative would resolve the housing needs of a million souls.
This employer.
Oh, how wonderful!
They too yearn for such opportunities, ideally obtaining a dozen units. Numerous graduates from prestigious universities harbor an intense desire to join such an organization, as this would enable them, without familial support, to acquire both a vehicle and a residence within a few short years.
Establish a family.
This.
This is what one calls truly living, not merely existing.
...
April 10th.
Morning.
Hai Province.
The vibrant ceremony for the handover of offshore drilling platforms commenced. Following over a year of dedicated effort, several offshore drilling platforms reached the delivery phase, with purchasers hailing from diverse nations.
"Magnificent!"
"Each one resembles a self-contained island, possessing its own distinct character."
"Breathtaking!"
"..."
Observing the platforms from a distance across the sea's surface evoked a profound sense of admiration. It is common knowledge that the 'Floating Number' project has attracted considerable attention throughout the past year.
In the span of a single year.
Revenue surpassing three billion dollars; an astonishing figure, nearing the break-even point, wouldn't you agree? The subsequent stage promises pure profitability, with an annual business volume reaching thirty billion dollars.
Truly exceptional.
Furthermore, after accounting for all expenditures, a profit of thirty billion dollars remains.
Incredible!
Even for major international mining corporations, annual profits might eclipse this amount, but that is attributed to high sales volumes. In this instance, however, they are essentially guarding a goldmine, extracting immense wealth.
It is nothing short of a miracle.
Moreover.
This represents merely one-tenth of the total income. The predominant revenue stream originates from the Myanmar Gold Group, which generated upwards of thirty billion dollars within a single year.
The three preeminent global iron ore conglomerates.
- Vale.
- BHP Billiton.
- Rio Tinto.
Collectively, their profits do not even approach half of the earnings generated by the Myanmar Gold Group from this solitary mine alone. Consequently, this situation has undoubtedly served as a significant catalyst for them.
Acquire!
Purchase at least one unit.
Take the gamble.
Or constantly fret, though it incurred tremendous costs, consuming nearly a full year’s profit for their company, yet they resolved to spend the money on it.
...
Three months prior.
Their crews had already commenced their training, possessing some driving and operating experience; three months sufficed for their proficiency.
"Is this what you call work?"
"Some cruise ships offer environments that can’t even compare to this place."
"So comfortable."
"We definitely made the right decision."
"..."
Crew members from various corporations beamed with evident joy. Life at sea typically involves harsh conditions, unless one is aboard luxury cruise liners or private yachts.
However.
Here.
Every facility adheres to the highest standards, giving the impression of being on a lavish cruise ship.
Impeccably clean.
Extremely comfortable.
Brilliantly equipped.
In no way inferior to cruise ships, and even remarkably more stable than them. Their immense size, dwarfing aircraft carriers, means their substantial weight renders them unmovable by ordinary waves.
To be employed here.
Is simply an absolute pleasure.
...
Observing this.
Various enterprises, while impressed, felt a sense of powerlessness. Qingyuan Technology, in its commitment to ensuring product quality, had standardized numerous aspects.
Landscaping.
Living quarters.
Interior design.
...
All were executed to exceptionally high specifications; customers had no choice but to accept them—either purchase or refrain. Qingyuan Technology refused to compromise on the quality of its 'products.'
Powerless.
They could only comply.
Looking back now, it seems the expenditure was justified. A visit here later would not only serve as accommodation but also allow one to bask in the sun, functioning much like a mobile yacht.
Cough!
One could only imagine such luxury; mining operations were the primary purpose, yet their satisfaction was undeniable.
...
With the esteemed presence of provincial dignitaries, Luo Qiang and representatives from various purchasing enterprises concluded the final inspection, awaiting only the final payment.
Replenish the fuel reserves.
Hoist the anchor.
Set forth.
Amidst the echoing sound of whistles, their journey back home commenced following successful sea trials. Immense voyages lay ahead, some requiring up to a month of continuous sailing.
There was no alternative.
They were simply too large.
Speed was not an option, as offshore drilling platforms were never built for velocity.
...
Witnessing one platform after another being delivered, Tang Qing, the lead designer, naturally felt a sense of immense satisfaction. Each one had been completed under his expert guidance.
However.
The 'business' was far from concluded.
After all.
Having invested considerable funds to acquire his creations, it would reflect poorly if they incurred losses—both for the reputation of his products and for convincing additional companies to make purchases.
Tang Qing firmly believed.
It was imperative to ensure these mining platforms yielded some profitable outcome.
Immense profits?
Not necessarily.
Tang Qing was not one to squander resources; his aim was simply to prevent losses. A ten-year break-even period should be sufficiently enticing.
What happens after ten years... would depend entirely on fortune.
