Chapter 1427 Destined Fate (First update, please subscribe)
“…The total investment by sovereign funds in Norway this time exceeded 200 million yuan, the vast majority of which was used for exploration in cooperation with the Norwegian government. Offshore oil..."
For some people, the news coming out of the TV is business information and opportunities, but for most people, it means nothing. Just news.
But that cannot be said. As for Ding Yujie, the news on TV contains other information.
“Oh, maybe I can get an extra dollar or two next year!”
The reason why Ding Yujie said this was because he had just received a check from the National Annuity. The amount was not much, only a dozen yuan.
For Ding Yujie, who only has more than 2,000 yuan in his personal account, the return of more than ten yuan in half a year is already very impressive. After all, this is only 20% of the national annuity income.
For many people, this money is a complete windfall.
“I never expected that such a thing could exist in this world.”
The friend’s words reached Ding Yujie’s ears, causing him to turn around and ask.
"What?"
"It's just money!"
Cheng Zhixing said:
"I have lived for more than half my life, and I have seen the government scrapping land, even if it is an honest official , you have to squeeze in. If you can really meet someone who collects taxes according to the regulations, then it’s all God’s eyes are open! But when have you seen this? Not only will the tax collected be refunded, but there will even be dividends every year..."
The tax refund he mentioned refers to personal income tax. Here, only If you have income, you will pay taxes. If you don't pay taxes, you will get no benefits. This is a basic principle. Even primary school students know very well that the benefits they enjoy are never given, but provided by the taxes paid by their parents.
The concept of taxpayers is instilled in them even in kindergarten. Of course, there is also the concept of "no taxes, no benefits". In fact, this concept was "created" by Li Yi'an because he witnessed the United States and Europe being attacked by a group of illegal immigrants. Wearing the strange phenomenon of its social welfare.
In the UK and other European countries, illegal immigrants from Africa and the Middle East can not only live in houses provided by the government, enjoy basic living expenses and free medical care and housing, but even as long as they give birth to children, You can get a lot of child support. So much so that there is a strange phenomenon there - a black and green woman gives birth to six or seven children, and her annual income is even higher than the income of ordinary working women.
And who paid the money?
It is the local people who are the real backbone of society. The taxes they paid were originally to ensure the welfare of themselves and their children, but in the end they were used in vain by the black and green illegal immigrants who occupied the magpie's nest.
What is even more annoying is that because the expenditure is too large, the government has to raise taxes. Who collects the taxes? Of course they are the hard-working locals. As for the immigrants, why do they have to work?
They came to Europe just to enjoy the benefits! Just have a baby!
In short, in order to avoid this strange phenomenon, strict welfare policies will be formulated. If new immigrants do not work or pay taxes, they will not be able to enjoy any benefits. Not only that, in order to avoid the decline in fertility caused by singleness, there are also targeted personal tax policies.
In a word, this is sharing, but the premise of sharing is that individuals must make contributions.
And this is why they say - we are willing to give everything for each other, because everyone knows where everything they enjoy comes from.
“That’s not true, this is the only one in the world!”
They are all in their forties, and they have never seen anything like this after living for so many years.
"Elderly care, medical care, plus this dividend..."
After taking a sip of beer, Cheng Zhixing showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then he said:
< br>“I have lived for most of my life, and until now I still thought it was all in a dream!”
“A dream...”
Ding Yujie muttered,
"Yes, if it is really a dream, then don't wake up again. By the way, Zhi Zhi Xing, Uncle Liu seems to be retiring in the next two days. By then, we Let’s go see him together!”
Retirement!
It is an extremely new word to this land. After all, this is a place dominated by immigrants. Most of the immigrants back then were young adults, with only a few older people.
Because of this, no one has retired until the past year or two.
However, Ding Yujie and the others were soon attracted by the football game on the TV. Several men and children immediately watched the game with concentration. Today was the home game of the Red Hunters. Although they were at home, they Still wearing the Red Hunters uniform.
In fact, more people will watch football in bars. Football has long been a part of many people's lives.
Last year’s World Cup in Chile was the first time the football team participated in the World Cup. It reached the quarter-finals and finally lost to the Chilean team in the game.
Despite this, last year’s World Cup match is still talked about. After all, it was their first time participating in the Football World Cup, and the exciting match also made people enjoy watching it.
The game between the Red Hunters and the Crocodiles that night was also an extremely exciting game. On the subway the next day, people were talking about this game.
"The kick that Iron-Legged Liu made was so beautiful!"
"Frank's block was a masterpiece..."
Liu Daman sat there listening to the voices of others discussing the game. , always a little distracted, I don’t know how many years, after the subway was built, he took the subway from home to the factory every day.
Over the years, Liu Daman has long adapted to this kind of life, and he likes this kind of life very much.
Although he is 65 years old, he likes this kind of life.
But what about now?
“Today is the last day!”
After entering the subway station, Liu Daman got off the train. After leaving the station, he took a few bus stops and finally arrived at the factory. The factory is not big, just a factory that produces mechanical parts. The factory owner did this when he was in Shanghai. Liu Daman was originally a packer in the factory. This job does not require any skills.
However, after so many years, he has been conscientious and conscientious. He comes to the factory about 20 minutes early every day, and it is the same today.
However, as soon as he arrived at the factory today, Xiao Chen, the clerk, ran over to him and said:
"Uncle Liu, the factory director wants to see you."
The factory director wants to see me?
Although he was a little confused, Liu Daman still went to the factory director's office. As soon as he arrived, the factory director Sun Dechang greeted him and said with a smile on his face:
"Old Liu, Congratulations, you are the first person to retire in our factory. How are you? What are your plans next?”
The factory director's words made Liu Daman understand - the factory director wanted to "evict people".
“No, I have no plans, please take care of me.”
“Look what you said, when I came here to set up a factory ten years ago, the agency introduced you to our factory , it’s our fate. Over the years, Lao Liu, you have been serious about your work. I can see it. In..."
As Sun Dechang said, he picked up a red envelope from the table and said:
"Now that you have retired, after working in the factory for so many years, the factory must be kind to you. It’s not much money, so I think it’s a gift to you!”
"Director, how can this be done?"
"The rules in the factory! It should be."
As he spoke, Sun Dechang said with emotion:
"Retire , Retirement is great! I really want to retire too... Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. In this way, you don’t have to work anymore today, Lao Liu. Take a look at what you have to clean up and get ready. I’ll give you a farewell in the cafeteria in the evening.”
Lin. Yes, he emphasized:
"By the way, I have already given instructions to the accountant that your salary will be settled on a monthly basis. However, pension insurance and medical care can only be settled according to regulations..."
"Thank you, director, for your care."< br>
In this way, Liu Daman began his retirement life. Although I am not used to this kind of life of doing nothing, I still have to live.
On the day he applied for retirement, his number happened to be 1000.
This number indicates that he is the 1000th local retired corporate employee.
It even made the local news that day, after all - after all these years, the number of retirees finally exceeded 1,000!
This is definitely worth writing about in the newspaper. When ordinary people read this news, they understand that their retirement is just around the corner, not written on paper.
For some people, when they see this 1000, they are more emotional.
“This is the advantage of this land.”
In the office of an American company, Hansen put down the newspaper in his hand and said:
"Compared to other countries, there is absolutely no historical baggage here. This historical baggage is not just political, such as land, resources, and politics. For many countries, in the process of their development "The biggest obstacle is too much historical baggage."
Looking out the window and looking at the bustling city in front of him, he continued.
“But there is no such baggage here at all. Even in terms of human resources, they do not have any historical baggage.”
The person sitting opposite him asked
< br>“Is it because those people are immigrants?”
"Yes, most of the immigrants who came here are young adults. So they don't need to think about old-age care, or even medical care. After all, those people rarely have diseases.
Until now They only have a few thousand or more than 10,000 people receiving pensions, while in the United States, tens of millions of people are receiving pensions Pensions."
Hank looked at the people in front of him and said:
"Because of this, they can go all out to develop the economy without considering other aspects. Constraints, ultimately - look here..."
Hank pointed out the window and said to the people around him.
"Isn't it amazing that they created all this in just a dozen years?"
"Yes, when I was in New York, I often heard people mention that everyone here would Use miracle to describe this place, that’s why I came here.”
< br>The young man standing next to Hank thought for a moment, and then said:
“But I think everything here cannot be copied in other areas. After all, this place is completely different from many places. "
Hank nodded and said.
"You are right, but that does not prevent many countries from seeing the miracle here as a success and learning from it."
Listening to what Hank said, the young man next to him thought After thinking about it, he said.
"There is a truth that they will never understand. Although there are occasional exceptions, the fate of some countries is destined..."
