Lanfang, located in the southern country, is of course free of winter all year round.

In late January, the weather is still in the mid-20s and the daytime is in the early 30s, so people tend to wear the thickest clothes of the year, but only T-shirts, trousers or dresses.

Except for January and February, at other times, girls can't even wear long skirts, so they can only wear the lightest short skirts.

In the east palace of Zhaoming Palace, a beautiful and delicate figure, wearing the most gorgeous light Hanfu long skirt, like the ladies in the Kunqu Opera Peony Pavilion, sitting in the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers and study, she is naturally the Lanfang County Lord Zhu Youran, who will be 18 years old in more than half a month.

"Miss...... Your Highness, Your Highness, Mr. Gu is back! He will be in Hong Kong soon!" One of her personal palace maids, a fawn, trotted in to report the good news and whispered. At first, he subconsciously shouted Miss, but when he saw that there was still a girlfriend visitor sitting next to Zhu Youran, he hurriedly changed his voice and called His Highness.

Zhu Youran's temper is still quite easy-going, it is already contemporary, where is there so much dirt of feudal etiquette, so the maids around her usually call Miss, she is used to it. Only outsiders were required to maintain court etiquette.

"Brother Gu is back? He doesn't have to go out again in the short term, is he? Is there any arrangement for coming back?" Zhu Youran was happy in his heart, and he was still embarrassed to behave on the surface, so he just asked lightly.

"It's not clear, the Grand Duke has already sent someone to clean up and prepare to greet him, so he may come to visit and report directly. "The maid doesn't know too many details.

As they were talking, a slight noise of helicopter rotors sounded in the sky, which was almost as uniform as the sound of Ferrari's engines.

Zhu Youran sighed: "It seems that there is no need to 'arrive at the port immediately', he must have taken a helicopter before the ship docked at the port." Pack it up for me, and when he finishes talking about state affairs with my father, I'll go over again. ”

......

A few minutes later, in the main hall of Zhaoming Palace, Zhu Youdong, the Grand Duke of Lanfang, met with Gu Kun, who had not been seen for a long time.

Counting the days, since the end of August last year, Gu Kun really hasn't stayed in Lanfang for many days - in late August, he set sail for Australia, training while preparing for the Olympic Games, and all kinds of other rhythmic preparations, if you count from the beginning of his retreat training, then basically in the second half of last year, there are not many visitors.

Later, in order to strive for greater international honors, Gu Kun spent a lot of time and energy personally presiding over the extermination of slave owners, and was busy until the end of October, when he learned that he had indeed won relevant international honors, and later took a boat to Northern Europe for safety, a series of luxury industry harvesting operations, and he was busy until now. In the middle, just a few days after returning to China after the Olympics, he was received by Zhu Youdong and said some scenes.

Counting the days, haven't you had a family gathering with your future father-in-law and future wife for more than half a year?

Top celebrities with tens of billions of dollars of wealth, and so many big careers, are just so busy.

After Zhu Youdong and Gu Kun exchanged a few words of farewell, he said sincerely: "Xiao Gu, congratulations, this can be regarded as the celebration of our whole country in Lanfang, following so many honors in the Olympics, you have won so many internationally recognized praises in Sweden." I dare to say that at least in the next 10 years, you will have a big say in the affairs of cooperation within Southeast Asia and ASEAN.

I am fully assured that you are not only the pillar of the Lantian side, but also an important opinion leader in the future of international cooperation within ASEAN, and I hope that you will make good use of your international prestige, lead everyone to develop together, and do not disappoint the luck that God has given you. ”

Although it has been more than a month since Gu Kun won the latest international honor, after all, this is the first time he has returned to Lanfang since then, no matter whether he has been congratulated by phone or not before, the late congratulations in person still have to be repeated.

"I'm going to keep trying. Gu Kun nodded slightly, expressing his determination, he no longer talks to Zhu Youdong with a "Your Highness" in front of every sentence, after all, they are so familiar, and the strength comparison and cooperative relationship between the two sides are also continuing to change subtly.

Zhu Youdong nodded: "When I come back this time, I don't have to go far in the short term, right? What are your plans for the next few years? I don't know much about the economy, and I'm not good at doing business." During your trip this time, I watched the news and heard that in mid-November, the NASDAQ completely collapsed, and the index fell below the 1,000-point mark.

Observers say that this cold winter will last for at least two or three years, and there are no new investment hotspots to be seen during the Internet winter. Even oil prices are not improving at present, and many of my aides say that the East and the West will turn to selling land and houses to return to their original costs, and the real economy will not work. We may also need to prepare for a steady, conservative winter. ”

Zhu Youdong didn't really want to talk about the general economic trend on this occasion, but Gu Kun hasn't come back for so long, and there are a lot of questions backlogged, so it's not bad to be open and honest.

Gu Kun: "You are right, in the future, at least two years, I will definitely be low-key and steady, and there are no good opportunities in various fields." However, since '98, our instincts have been too frequent, and it's not bad to slow down and digest the fruits of victory.

The general trend of the world economy is at least five to seven years before a wave of wind appears, and it is normal to stabilize during the recession adjustment. I just bought some top luxury brands, and spent two or three years working intensively, spreading out in the Chinese mainland market, and reaping the dividends of consumption upgrades, so that we can sit firmly in the position of the world's third largest luxury giant.

Let it be a cold winter for the Internet, let's leave it untouched. Real estate should be transformed, we can also conform to the general trend of the world, upgrade together, and upgrade the national infrastructure and cityscape of Lanfang as a whole in the next two or three years.

As for oil prices, I don't think there is any need to worry, the three-year exploration and exploitation plan that we negotiated with CNOOC is now on the doorstep, we must continue to invest and produce oil in a timely manner, I believe that oil prices can rebound, I bet that Huaxia will definitely be able to join WT0 this year - the negotiations have been in China for two years, and the differences between the two sides are getting smaller and smaller, and we must believe in Huaxia's determination to reform and the dividends it brings. ”

The news of the initial discovery of the Lanfang oil field was spread in the middle of 98, but at that time, it was to cooperate with the Lanfang financing, All-in sniping Soros, in fact, the report of CNOOC can only be said to be three points dry goods and seven points bragging.

Later, the work was basically completed, such as combing, measuring the exact reserves and reservoir distribution, and finding the best drilling site, which was basically completed in '99. Then we started to prepare for production, and in 2000 we drilled some small-scale experimental wells for trial production, and the production of individual wells also looked very good. Basically, this year, 2001, is a large-scale oil production.

However, the Southeast Asian financial crisis and the bursting of the Internet bubble have occurred successively, and the impact on international oil prices is also relatively negative, because the overall economic heat has declined, and the e-commerce is far away, which will also make people pessimistic about the development of the new logistics industry. In general, at present, everyone feels that there is no way to reduce international oil prices for a long time, and Lanfang, an emerging oil-producing country, has to rely on the character of "per capita oil tycoon" to strengthen the positioning of a tyrant country and a luxury country, which will indeed be miserable in the eyes of outsiders.

The only inspiring word that Gu Kun can put on the table is the issue of China's WTO.

However, there is still half a sentence he has not said, that is, he bets on the impact of the war in the Middle East under the leadership of the new Great Commander. From Afghanistan to Iraq, there are so many factors that have pushed up international oil prices in later generations, and the belligerent nuclear supply file will definitely cause trouble, so what is there to fear about Gu Kun, the reborn of the prophet.

It is nothing more than these reasons that cannot be said.

"Hearing you say that, I'm a little more relieved. Zhu Youdong's mood eased a little, "Actually, we are not short of money, just now, as long as we keep the capital, it is very easy for all the people to live a good life, I am just afraid of sitting and eating nothing." If you think that in the next few years, we can do a lot to farm behind closed doors and rectify the internal rectification, you may as well tell me at any time, no matter what the internal rectification, I will support you.

However, I am not very optimistic about real estate speculation in Lanfang. After all, there is no scarcity in Lanfang, the land is vast and sparsely populated. Although the country is rich now, the national welfare is still not very high, and if housing prices skyrocket, the people will not be able to afford to live. In the past few years, the construction of railways, sea-crossing bridges and water diversion projects was good, but the return on investment was slower, and the people took most of the benefits, and the finances of the country and the royal family lacked continuous recovery. ”

Gu Kun: "I don't think so, I don't think the rise in housing prices will necessarily lead to an increase in the cost of living for our citizens, the key depends on the way, if we give all the indigenous people, like the Xiangjiang farmers, the 'ding rights', take away the private non-construction land, the state builds several times the area of the house to compensate them."

In order to completely clarify the land management and co-ordination problems left over from the Lanfang side, it is still very promising for the Lanfang market to take the high-end route in the future, and it can also enhance the overall national image - the current Lanfang cityscape, in the eyes of international tourists, is really not qualified to be called a local tyrant country.

The resorts, hotels, shopping malls, entertainment facilities and municipal infrastructure that we have invested in look a lot like those in the developed West. But as long as foreign tourists get out of the tour group tour guide, go deep into the people, and look at the so-called CBD in ordinary residential areas, life supporting service areas, and office buildings, everything will immediately go through the gang, where there are dilapidated houses 96 years ago, when Lanfang was still very poor.

After China's accession to the WTO, a large number of business owners and middle-class workers in the export-oriented economy will certainly be released in the next few years and newly join the ranks of those who have the money to travel abroad. ”
