This interest-free loan model allows children to borrow money to enroll in school without paying any interest. However, it is not without conditions; borrowers need to sign a contract with He Yuzhu.
According to the contract, after graduation, students must work for He Yuzhu's company and repay the loan through deductions from their monthly salary.
He Yuzhu was confident about this clause and had no worries that anyone would dare to breach or renege on it. After all, with his considerable strength and resources, he was more than capable of dealing with those who disobeyed.
At the same time, the local educational environment is extremely unfavorable to the Chinese community. Due to the authorities' deliberate suppression of the Chinese, there are very few public schools, and almost all of them use English as the medium of instruction.
As a result, it becomes even more difficult for children from ordinary families to receive a good education. They not only face fierce competition but also have to spend huge sums of money.
For these families who are already struggling financially, where would they find the extra money to pay for their children's tuition? Left with no other choice, many children have to enter the workforce at a young age.
The boys either became street thugs, joining so-called "gangster" gangs, or they engaged in manual labor, making a living by selling their strength.
Those girls with beautiful faces are often forced down a path of no return—entering the world of prostitution and earning money by spreading their legs.
Against such a hostile social backdrop, He Yuzhu's actions undoubtedly gave many children a rare opportunity.
As long as they can achieve something at the martial arts school, even if their grades are not good, they can at least get a job in a factory and become an ordinary worker, and live a stable life from then on.
This campus offers not only a single academic curriculum, but also a wide variety of skills training programs.
Rather than calling it a school in the traditional sense, it would be more accurate to describe it as a professional vocational skills training institution.
During the sweltering summer vacation, Du Guanghe, with his outstanding abilities and efficient action, quickly found an ideal place near the BMW Mountain Road.
This place was originally a large warehouse used for storing goods, complete with spacious office buildings and a vacant construction site. With just a few minor modifications, it can be transformed into a suitable teaching space.
Following that, Du Guanghe decisively acquired several slightly old buildings in the surrounding area and carefully transformed them into bright and clean classrooms and warm and comfortable student dormitories.
Everything is progressing smoothly and according to plan. If all goes well, a grand and solemn opening ceremony will be held in September.
Regarding the entire project process, He Yuzhu simply went to the site to conduct a meticulous inspection. After confirming that all arrangements were in order, he made the final decision on the plan and then entrusted Du Guanghe with full responsibility for the subsequent implementation.
It is worth mentioning that among the many students about to enroll, a number of exceptionally talented and promising individuals will be selected through a rigorous screening process. These lucky ones will have the opportunity to become He Yuzhu's personal disciples.
After all, He Yuzhu was the principal, and every student who graduated from the martial arts class, regardless of their academic performance, could be considered his disciple.
At the same time, He Yuzhu has also made up his mind to take out his precious free time to personally go up to the podium to teach and lecture the children.
This move was twofold: firstly, to truly experience the responsibilities and duties of a school principal; and secondly, to take this opportunity to carefully cultivate a group of loyal and capable assistants.
After leaving the school, the sun shone warmly on him. He drove his Aston Martin sports car through the bustling streets and arrived at the office building in Sheung Wan.
As he entered the building, a familiar atmosphere greeted him. He went straight to his office, intending to deal with the tedious tasks that had piled up before.
Sitting at his desk, he was completely absorbed in his work. Time passed slowly, and he finally finished processing the mountain of documents and emails.
After finishing his work, he stood up, stretched his stiff body, and then walked towards Liao Lieying's office.
A gentle knock came at the door, and a clear, melodious voice responded from inside: "Come in!"
Pushing open the door, one sees Liao Lieying buried in her work, focused and busy.
He walked up to her with a smile and said softly, "Beautiful lady, would you do me the honor of having lunch with me?"
Chapter 463 It's not what you think.
Liao Lieying slowly raised her head, her stunningly beautiful face like a cherry blossom in full bloom in spring, delicate and alluring, exuding a captivating charm.
A slight upturn at the corners of her lips formed a captivating smile, like a crescent moon, as she softly replied:
"Okay, but please wait for me for two minutes. I need to finish this little thing first."
Time passed second by second, but the so-called two minutes seemed to have been magically transformed into a long ten minutes.
Throughout this time, he maintained his patience and gentlemanly demeanor, standing quietly to the side, occasionally appreciating Liao Lieying's captivating presence as she focused on her work with gentle eyes.
She would sometimes furrow her brow, and sometimes write furiously; her earnestness and dedication were truly moving.
Finally, Liao Lieying stopped her busy work and gently put down the exquisite fountain pen.
She let out a long sigh of relief, stretched out her arms as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders, and gave a long, comfortable yawn.
At that very moment, his gaze seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, involuntarily focusing on Liao Lieying.
At this moment, Liao Lieying was wearing a snow-white shirt, with exquisite lace trim at the hem, looking as graceful and ethereal as a fairy descending to earth.
Because of the stretching motion, the shirt clung tightly to her graceful figure, perfectly outlining her curves.
Especially her full, rounded breasts, which resembled two towering mountains reaching into the clouds, were majestic, spectacular, and alluring.
They stand proudly, rising and falling with each breath, as if displaying endless charm and allure to the world.
All the beauty was laid bare before him at that moment, captivating his gaze as if drawn by a magnet, leaving him utterly mesmerized and unable to look away...
Knowing that He Yuzhu knew very little about French cuisine, Liao Lieying did not hesitate to order the food.
She gracefully flipped through the menu, occasionally exchanging quiet words with the waiter, and soon ordered a sumptuous meal.
Soon, one exquisite dish after another was served, emitting an enticing aroma. He Yuzhu and Liao Lieying sat facing each other and began to savor these delicious dishes.
They enjoyed the food and chatted happily. As the conversation unfolded, the atmosphere gradually became relaxed and cheerful.
During this time, He Yuzhu developed a strong interest in the Liao family's business and asked a few questions about it.
Liao Lieying frowned slightly, seemingly hesitant about whether to reveal this information. But after a moment's thought, she decided to tell him the truth:
"Alas, the negotiations between the Liao family and Hongfa Trading Company have recently broken down completely. Originally, the two sides were discussing cooperation in a relatively amicable manner, but later they could not reach an agreement on some key terms, and the negotiations ended in discord."
Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu frowned slightly, a look of worry on his face, and pressed for an answer:
"Is it that serious? Doesn't that mean your two families have officially gone to war?"
Liao Lieying nodded solemnly and said in a low voice:
"That's exactly right! Just yesterday, one of our branches was robbed. There was chaos at the scene, and although our security personnel reacted quickly, the robbers still managed to escape."
Although they weren't able to catch the culprit on the spot, everyone knew perfectly well that this was definitely the work of someone secretly directing their subordinates.
Why would the other side resort to such extreme measures?
He Yuzhu asked with a puzzled look on his face, his eyes flashing with confusion.
Liao Lieying sighed and explained helplessly, "It's all because of a conflict of interests! This breakdown in negotiations has directly affected the future market share and profit margins of both sides."
Seeing that they couldn't gain more benefits through normal channels, the other side resorted to such despicable and underhanded tactics to attack us. However, our Liao family will not easily give in and will definitely find a way to deal with this crisis.
After she finished speaking, her eyes revealed a firmness and determination.
Liao Lieying let out a soft sigh, a sigh that seemed to carry the weight of a thousand pounds. She slowly raised her head, her gaze fixed on the distance, as if trying to see through the scene before her to the secrets and conspiracies hidden deep within.
After a long while, she slowly opened her mouth and said:
"This matter is a long story! As you probably know, our family is involved in many business areas, not just banking. For example, Hongfa Trading Company has always been a fierce competitor of ours."
At this point, Liao Lieying paused slightly, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then continued:
"Back then, their power was very weak. In terms of capital, connections, and market share, they were far inferior to our family business."
Therefore, they have always been firmly suppressed by us, with no chance of turning the tables and unable to cause any significant trouble.
Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the situation.
In fact, he was very clear about these things. After all, he had been navigating the cutthroat world of business for many years, and he had seen far too many of the underhanded and treacherous tactics and schemes.
Moreover, as far as he knew, the boss behind Hongfa Trading Company was just an ordinary white man with no particularly deep background or powerful backer to rely on.
Just then, Liao Lieying suddenly changed the subject, her expression becoming serious:
"But now the situation is different. Our family has a mortal enemy—Le Jiasheng."
This person had secretly returned to China at some point, and what was even more unexpected was that he had somehow managed to collude with the Hongfa Trading Company gang without anyone noticing.
The sudden bank run our bank experienced some time ago, after investigation, revealed that it was a scheme orchestrated by this very group.
Whenever Liao Lieying recalls that time, her brows involuntarily furrow tightly.
During that period, rumors about the Liao family spread like wildfire throughout society, and the rumors intensified over time.
All sorts of rumors targeting the Liao family are flying around, making it hard to keep up.
Some people claimed with certainty that the Liao family was secretly selling heroin, a prohibited substance; others spread rumors that Liao Baoshan was terminally ill, especially cancer, which was relentlessly eroding his body, leaving him with very few days left.
In addition, countless rumors of all kinds surged in like a tidal wave, each one deliberately designed to smear the innocent Liao family.
Once these malicious and defamatory rumors began to spread, they ignited the deep-seated fear and anxiety in the hearts of bank depositors like wildfire.
As a result, people flocked to the bank like a flock of frightened sheep, scrambling to cash out their deposits immediately.
In an instant, the area in front of the bank was packed with people, so crowded that it was impossible to move.
The noise and shouts rose and fell, and the chaotic scene was almost out of control, as if the entire bank was about to be swallowed up by this frenzy and plunged into an abyss of bankruptcy from which there was no return.
Fortunately, although the bank has not yet officially declared bankruptcy, its strength has already been severely damaged, shrinking by as much as 70% to 80%.
In such a short period of time, it would be an incredibly difficult task to attract enough deposits to revitalize the business and restore its former prosperity.
The Liao family has always been one of the business giants, with a wide sphere of influence and abundant wealth, making them a force to be reckoned with.
However, no one expected that a sudden disaster would befall this seemingly indestructible family.
This disaster stemmed from a sudden and unexpected bank run. Like a violent storm, this surging wave swept in instantly, violently impacting the Liao family's businesses and financial system.
The once prosperous situation suddenly became precarious, and the Liao family's strength suffered an unprecedented heavy blow, directly reduced by more than half!
In this tumultuous run on the bank, the Liao family seemed to be at the center of a giant vortex, mercilessly swept into a chaotic abyss.
