Guangfu, Huacheng Square.
A large number of people holding New Year blessing balloons gathered here with their partners or friends, and their eyes were fixed on the "small waist" not far away.
As a landmark building in Guangfu, Xiaomanyao attracts a large number of tourists every year to visit and play.
When the last minute of 2016 comes, countless people start counting down.
"59!"
"58!"
"57!"
Their voices were loud and sonorous, and everyone's eyes looking at their small waists were full of expectations for life.
They can personally feel whether the country has become stronger and whether the social welfare system has been further improved.
For example, the free medical care for all was launched some time ago. According to incomplete statistics, the number of patients treated nationwide has increased fivefold simultaneously.
Why has it increased so much?
The reason is also very simple, that is, migrant workers have gradually developed the habit of seeing a doctor.
If it was in the past, minor illnesses could be dealt with easily, such as a cold or a fever. After all, a trip to the hospital would cost hundreds of dollars, or even hundreds of dollars, and it would be impossible to afford medical treatment.
Now that medical care is free for everyone, who is willing to bear the burden of dying?
Precisely because of the sharp surge in demand for medical resources, there are also a large number of gaps in medical and nursing positions, which can exactly meet the employment needs of graduating medical students and nursing students.
Medical treatment is free.
The pension amount is increased.
The number of months you can receive unemployment benefits has increased.
The country's intervention and the recovery of the economy have made all people feel that they have arrived in a developed country.
"Look, baby!"
A girl nestled in her boyfriend's arms pointed at her small waist and screamed with excitement.
Not only does a countdown to the New Year appear on the waistline in the distance, but there is also a message to all the people of the Dragon Kingdom near the top of the tower: It is our duty to realize the great rejuvenation of the Dragon Kingdom!
"It is our duty to refuse, long live the Dragon Kingdom!"
"Long live the Dragon Kingdom!"
"Long live the prosperity of the Dragon Kingdom!"
Everyone in Huacheng Square was shouting, and some people took out bright red flags and held them high in the cold wind.
When the countdown of Xiao Man Yao reached zero, fireworks shot out from all directions into the night sky, and then exploded in the night sky.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
At this time, the night sky is like a piece of ink paper, which is arbitrarily created by colorful and wonderful fireworks. All the people who meet for the New Year's Eve send New Year's blessings to each other.
"Happy New Year to everyone. I wish you all will be rich and beautiful this year. The man is more handsome than Wu Yanzhu, and the woman is more beautiful than Liu Yifei!"
"Thank you Yu Yan, you too!"
"Happy New Year everyone!"
"Happy New Year!"
Everyone was smiling and feeling proud as they shouted "Happy New Year". In the crowd, Caster David, who was still running a live broadcast, was also infected by the atmosphere and shouted Happy New Year in extremely poor Chinese.
Since the YouTube channel was restricted, he simply started broadcasting on TikTok. After all, he did not sign any unequal contract.
It doesn’t matter if it’s not broadcast. Once it starts broadcasting, the traffic will keep rising.
Nearly 440,000 people around the world are squatting in his live broadcast room, watching the New Year countdown of Dragon Kingdom and feeling the unique cultural charm.
"It turns out that this is the New Year of the Dragon Kingdom, which is completely different from our Christmas. The cultural differences are so amazing!"
"This is why I like traveling, I can experience the collision of cultures!"
"Although I have never been to Dragon Kingdom, I like to eat in Dragon Kingdom's restaurants. If I have a chance, I will definitely go to Dragon Kingdom!"
"I like this atmosphere!"
"There are so many people not going home early in the morning. Aren't they worried about their personal safety? I can't imagine it at all!"
The huge cultural differences and national conditions have made netizens all over the world sigh.
Many people have heard about the safety of Dragon Kingdom, but they really didn’t expect it to be so safe. There are actually so many people playing outside in the early morning. This is something that is completely unimaginable in other countries.
Even in Singapore, which has caning, it is not always safe at night.
And on the other side.
A private room in a star-rated hotel in Shenzhen.
Chen Xing took off his tight suit jacket and forgot his identity. He only wore a simple white T-shirt to play cards with his relatives and friends.
"Double king picks up 34567, finished!"
"Drink!"
"You kid won again, oops!"
"Consciously order more cards, add one cup for three or more cards, there is no limit, don't keep fish!"
"I know, I know!"
"I did it!"
After drinking a glass of wine, accompanied by the explosion of fireworks outside the window, everyone forgot the time and only knew that this was one of the few gathering days.
……
The next day.
The sky is bright.
Chen Xing felt that he had only closed his eyes for a few minutes when he heard the soft call of his mother, Liang Ruolan, in his ears.
"Star, it's time to get up."
"Our family is the host this year, so we need to decorate the ancestral hall in advance."
Although Chen Xing can sleep in bed and is no different from ordinary people, he still knows how to measure important things.
After briefly brewing for a while, he sat up and said, "I'll wash up."
"Well, your dad has already gone to the ancestral hall first, so hurry up."
"Okay."
Seeing that Chen Xing was awake, Liang Ruolan felt relieved and left the room.
"Hoo——"
Chen Xing took a long breath, adjusted himself, and then went to the bathroom.
After a quick wash, he returned to the room and changed into a set of regular clothes. Liang Ruolan also made breakfast and helped Chen Xing fill it up and said, "Have a sip of porridge before you go. Let's replenish energy first."
"Just the right time to sober up."
After Chen Xing sat down, he drank porridge and ate fried dough sticks, and then ate two more steamed buns. After he was half full, he put down the bowl and said, "I'm full. I'll go and do my mother's work first."< br>
"Go ahead."
Liang Ruolan started to clear away the dishes.
Chen Xing glanced at his phone. It was less than six o'clock. It was probably only residents of eastern Guangdong who were so concerned about the Spring Festival sacrifices.
Twenty minutes drive.
Chen Xing arrived at the Chen Family Ancestral Hall,
There is a big banyan tree at the entrance of the Chen family ancestral hall. It is said to be a hundred years old and is a Feng Shui treasure land with "blessings". The children of the Chen family need to come to the ancestral hall to burn some paper money and burn incense during festivals.
"Here comes Asing."
As soon as Chen Xing parked the car, Chen Yapeng came out holding the incense stick.
"Just arrived." Chen Xing looked around and didn't know when Chen Yapeng arrived. The ancestral hall has been almost decorated, and Changhong has been hung at the door.
"I've almost finished it. Just put the stigma incense and light the Changhong. Leave the rest to me." Chen Yapeng handed out three thumb-sized incense sticks. The incense walls of these three sticks were engraved with gold foil. Ding is prosperous, financial resources are abundant and all wishes come true.
Chen Xing took the fragrance, glanced at Chen Yapeng's dark circles and said, "Dad, did you stay up all night to do it?"
"I saw that you drank a little too much last night. Besides, you just returned to Shencheng not long ago. You might as well rest more. I can just come and organize these clan activities." Chen Yapeng said with a calm smile.
Although clan culture is prevalent in eastern Guangdong Province, in recent years, more and more young people have been unwilling to participate in clan activities, but only because of the honor of their parents.
Of course.
You can’t blame the young people.
In the past, clan culture was prevalent because living conditions were harsh and people needed to stick together to fill their stomachs, similar to tribes.
But with the development of science and technology, people no longer need to rely on clans to fill their stomachs, but on family units. There is less contact with each other, and in the end they all become strangers with a certain blood relationship.
Chen Xing neither rejects nor is positive about clan activities. He has a no-nonsense attitude.
"Chen Xing!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Yapeng!"
"Why did you arrive so early?"
While Chen Xing and Chen Yapeng were talking, an old man with a gray beard came over. He was full of energy and stared at Chen Xing.
He is none other than Chen Xuan, the 55th generation patriarch of the Chen family.
"Clan leader."
"Good morning, Chief."
Chen Yapeng and Chen Xing said hello respectively.
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, and then explained the purpose of his visit: "Usually everyone comes here at this time to help decorate the ancestral hall. I didn't expect you to finish it so quickly. As expected of the two bosses of Longxing Group, God rewards hard work!"
"Excellent."
Chen Yapeng smiled and continued: "The main reason is that A Xing drank too much last night. I wanted to finish it early and let him rest more."
"Yes, you should rest more."
Chen Xuan nodded, looked at Chen Xing again and said: "After all, Ah Xing is not only responsible for the Longxing Group, but also represents our Shen City. You must not tire your body."
"Actually, I'm not that pretentious, so I won't talk about whether I'm tired or not."
Chen Xing responded calmly.
"That's right, Ah Xing is only thirty years old this year, and he is at the peak of his youth. When I was your age, I could kill several tigers." Chen Xuan laughed and joked to himself.
"Let's not talk about this anymore."
He looked at the already arranged Changhong, glanced at Chen Xing and Chen Yapeng and said, "Let's light the fire, you are the boss this year."
"I'll get it."
Chen Xing moved his steps.
The so-called host family is the family that handles all the affairs of the ancestral hall. It rotates every year, and this year it happened to be Chen Xing's place.
As for the so-called Changhong, it is actually a long firecracker, which means red from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
Chen Xing first came to the ancestral hall, lit the incense and inserted it into the incense burner. Then he went to Changhong outside and took out his lighter.
"Pa-ta-"
"嗗——"
In just an instant, the lead was burned out.
Many people dare not set off firecrackers because the fuse is too fast and the explosion occurs almost instantly.
With the "crackling" sound, more and more "clan relatives" came after hearing the news, and green smoke enveloped the entire ancestral hall.
Not a moment.
The exciting gongs and drums sounded.
The long-awaited lion dance team also came to the sound of gongs and drums, and there was a special person to scatter red envelopes, attracting the surrounding clan relatives to compete for them.
Chen Yapeng did not lie to Chen Xing, he had indeed made arrangements.
"Dong Dong Qiang——"
"Dong Dong Qiang——"
"Dong dong, dong dong clang——"
After the lion dance, there was also the dragon dance. The whole Chen family ancestral hall was very lively, attracting many outsiders to come and watch.
Of course.
They mostly photograph Chen Xing.
After all, he is the CEO of a trillion-dollar group and the “first person in science and technology” today. It is not easy to meet him.
You know, ordinary people will never be able to see even the director of the district police station, let alone the billionaire boss.
……
While the Dragon Kingdom was celebrating the Spring Festival, far away in the United States on the other side of the ocean, the whole country couldn't believe this was true.
Just now, Korean Star Group announced its withdrawal from the rice stock market.
[Dear shareholders, investors and friends from all walks of life:
In view of the company's strategic development considerations and business focus adjustments, Korean Star Group has decided to officially withdraw from the U.S. securities trading market with immediate effect after careful study.
In the past time, Korean Star Group has received support and attention from investors in the US stock market. However, with the changes in the global market environment and the company's own development needs, we believe that withdrawing from the US stock market at this time will be more conducive to concentrating resources. , focusing on the expansion and innovation of core business to achieve longer-term development goals.
Regarding the impact that this exit may have on investors, Korean Star Group will formulate a reasonable compensation plan. We will fully consider the interests of investors and ensure that the compensation measures are fair, just and transparent. The specific compensation plan will be announced in the near future. Please Investors follow the company's official channels for the latest information. ]
If it were just the Korean Star Group, it would not be able to shock the entire United States. Companies that have withdrawn from the U.S. stock market this time include KEP Electric Power Company, KT Telecom Company, SK Mobile Operations Company, LG Group...
But is this the limit?
No!
In addition to the peninsula, well-known large companies such as Sony, Tokyo Electronics, SoftBank, and Nintendo in the island country have chosen to delist.
The delisting of Japanese and Korean companies is naturally indispensable for Longguo companies.
Companies such as Alibaba, Baidu, JD.com, etc. have all chosen to delist Mi stocks and want to return their shares to the Longguo stock market.
Many people may have a doubt. Didn't Alibaba, Baidu, and JD.com go public in the United States first? Why can it still be listed on Hong Kong Island for a second time?
If you want to understand this, you must figure out how to go public.
The so-called listing actually means turning a private company into a public enterprise. The founders need to use part of their equity for financing, that is, stocks in the secondary market.
If you want to be listed in the United States, you must first confirm continuous profitability for three years. Secondly, you must determine your share of the secondary market and the stock quota for each secondary market.
For example, if you hold 100% of the shares and want to be listed in the United States and Hong Kong Island at the same time, you need to reasonably allocate the proportion of stocks in each market.
The disadvantage of dual-market listing is that it is easy to seize power, but the advantage is that it is easy to raise funds and is suitable for innovative enterprises.
Enterprises from China, Japan and South Korea collectively announced their delisting, which caused the US stock market to experience an epic plunge. The index returned to the level of 2007, circuit breaker times twice, and countless US stockholders cried for their parents.
Davich looked at the dense delisting announcements and almost fainted. Fortunately, his willpower was strong enough.
"Japan and South Korea!"
"How dare you betray us, Japan and South Korea!"
He was furious!
You know, Japan and South Korea have always been the blood packs of the United States, and they are blood supply packs that can be harvested without any problems.
If we do this now, it is obvious that China, Japan and South Korea have reached some kind of agreement.
However, what Davich didn't know was that the delisting of Japanese and Korean companies was still a small matter. At the Asia-Pacific Military Base, General Tim Lillard received a notice from Japan and South Korea that all troops stationed in Japan and South Korea need to be evacuated within 15 days. .
Notice!
It’s a notification, not a negotiation!
This made Tim Lillard furious in an instant, thinking about driving an aircraft carrier for a stroll and letting these two island countries see what the wrath of the king is!
But as soon as he gave the order, the general headquarters ordered a retreat.
This made Tim Lillard extremely puzzled and didn't understand why he wanted to retreat.
Not to mention that Tim Lillard doesn't understand, his immediate superiors also don't understand. In their view, Japan and South Korea are all easy to manipulate.
But what they don't know is that the U.S. Navy, Army and Air Force are not afraid of Japan and South Korea, but the Dragon Kingdom that has reached cooperation with them, and this Dragon Kingdom may have mastered the "electromagnetic gun"!
With the concept weapon of electromagnetic gun, they really don't dare to act rashly!
