Chapter 47: Fighting for the Country

Gu Kun's report in the capital and his secret friendship with friends in the Internet circle soon came to an end.

The various businesses he arranged were not achieved overnight, and it took time to brew slowly.

As for the promotion of the cultural tourism industry of the Lanfang Islands by these layouts, it is even more imperceptible, and the construction of a year and a half cannot be accumulated at all.

However, Gu Kun is not in a hurry, because the tourism in Southeast Asia in recent years has been in the digging period, and the generally high currency exchange rates and high prices of Southeast Asian countries have restricted the scale of Chinese tourists.

Now Gu Kun has basically dug out all the tourists who can spare money to go to Nanyang, and it is only hundreds of thousands of people a year, even if it is this time next year, it will not be possible to break one million people.

The real blowout period of the first wave of Chinese tourists will not be until after the Southeast Asian financial crisis next year.

Historically, the Thai baht has fallen by more than half, and the ringgit has fallen by more than a third, plus prices have fallen slightly on top of the original denominated currency.

As a result, prices in Thailand have basically dropped from four times as high as those in the coastal provinces of China to only 1.5 to two times.

Prices in Malay and Lanfang can also fall from four times that of the coastal provinces of China to two times.

In this way, the purchasing power of the renminbi can be barely spent in the Nanyang countries.

Gu Kun could fully predict that the reason why he now has so many advance layout actions, and why no one interferes with it seems to be like a horse race, is entirely because Malay and Thailand still can't look down on the Chinese tourism market, and feel that the Chinese people are too poor and dispensable.

Therefore, their attitude towards Gu Kun also stayed at the level of "If this kid wants to toss, let him toss, anyway, Lanfang is a small country, and when Lanfang Town one day cultivates the tourism consumption habits of the Chinese people, and the Chinese people are really rich one day, it will be too late for us to pick peaches and steal the fruits".

It can be said that both the cultural and tourism authorities of Thailand and the cultural and tourism authorities of Malaysia regard Gu Kun as a pathfinder at this moment.

All these contradictions, only after the Southeast Asian financial crisis, will usher in a total outbreak of real knives and guns to grab customers. If the crisis does not come, everything can still be concealed under the illusion of harmony.

......

Gu Kun flew back to Lanfang with this very self-aware mentality.

Counting the days, it's already late September. It has been a full month and a half since the end of the Olympic Games.

However, strictly speaking, Gu Kun is the first time he has set foot on the territory of his homeland after the end of the Olympics.

So even if he is accustomed to all kinds of glory in his heart, and doesn't care about other people's welcome and grand duke's awards, he still has to talk about pomp and circumstance, and he still has to deal with false courtesy.

It has been almost a year since the construction of Lanfang International Airport began, but the first runway is still not in use.

The two- to three-kilometer-long sea-crossing bridge connecting the airport's outlying islands and Lanfang's main island has not yet been opened to traffic.

The construction team sent by the Chinese side is in full swing and is expected to be put into initial operation only after the Spring Festival in 1997. However, Gu Kun was not worried about the hard work of these people.

Especially this year, the relationship between Oceania and the Eastern countries has been somewhat tense, and the construction teams that built the airport have worked even harder.

Even sometimes when the bill of quantities of the sub-project is overrun and the auditors on the Lanfang side are not in place, the Huaxia construction team is willing to advance funds to get rid of the extra unexpected project quantity first.

It seems that it is only to complete the construction and use of the long-range radar station at Lanfang International Airport first. So much so that in terms of infrastructure costs, it doesn't matter if Lan Fang takes advantage of it more.

It's just that the airport was not completed, so Gu Kun still had to take a plane to Kuching to land, and then take his own yacht back to Lanfang, which was a little more inconvenient, and also made the etiquette a little lacking when Zhu Youdong, the Grand Duke of Lanfang, greeted the great hero of Lanfang.

As Gu Kun approached the harbor on a yacht, he saw a guard of honor about two companies in size lined up in the sunlight to greet him—it was made up of the Grand Duke's royal guard and most of the police force of Lan Fang's own country.

Two gun salutes were also fired in the harbor, and there was a flurry of fire.

Except for the honor guards of the two companies, most of the citizens in the country of Lan Fang came to see the excitement, especially the fifty or sixty thousand residents on the main island, except for those who were too young to come out and squeeze or too old to go out, the others basically arrived.

Zhu Youdong announced that the day when Gu Kun returned to Lanfang was a national holiday, and the people who were mixed with the business had to rest, so of course they wanted to come and see the excitement. As for the fishermen's families, who make up more than half of the country, it doesn't matter if they don't go to sea for a day, and they are very free in terms of time.

Lan Fang has not won a gold medal in the Olympics for so many years. Not to mention Lan Fang, the Malay next door has not taken it.

Gu Kun has 11 gold medals at one time and so many world records, who doesn't have the opportunity to watch in vain?

"I heard that when Gu Kun was in Oceania, a commercial appearance fee cost millions of dollars, and everyone I saw in China was a big shot. We can look at it in vain today, this look is estimated to be worth a few hundred ringgit tickets, which is much more profitable than we go to work and fish for a day, and seeing Gu Kun is earning!"

This kind of talk has already spread in the crowd, and probably all the onlookers have this mentality.

......

"Gu Kun is here!" everyone took the tropical bouquets in their hands and raised them together and waved them.

As the crowd of people welcoming the national hero began to cheer, Gu Kun waved his hand and stepped on the pedal, jumped onto the shore, and hurried a few steps to shake hands with Zhu Youdong, who came up.

Zhu Youdong naturally pulled his right arm with his left hand, and with his right hand, he put on a posture similar to a salute, leading Gu Kun to review the guard of honor (there are many salutes, even those similar to "good comrades" are counted, and the Führer will not be used)

Gu Kun didn't say a word, and walked through the honor guards of the two companies until he was stuffed into the car, and then the pilot car opened the way and sent to Zhaoming Palace to participate in the state banquet.

It wasn't until he got into the car that Zhu Youdong put down his previous solemn demeanor and stiff smile, replaced it with a relieved but complicated expression, and couldn't help but sigh first:

"Alas, you kid is good at everything, just be a flamboyant person. ”

Gu Kun responded politely: "I am publicized, and it is also for the country's propaganda and people's employment, this kind of superficial truth, ordinary people may not understand, you will not understand." ”

A trace of pain flashed in Zhu Youdong's eyes: "It's nothing if you are arrogant and domineering in a foreign country, this is for the good of the country and for the good of these tens of thousands of mouths."

However, you are filthy with the 'celebrities' of the so-called 'commercial real estate tycoons and hotel tycoons' families of Oceania...... This is also purely serving the country, without selfishness?"

Of course, Gu Kun knew what Zhu Youdong was suffering.

Zhu Youdong lost his son in middle age (to be exact, 'middle-aged and elderly child', because he was in his early 50s at the time), and then had an only daughter, of course, he loved him in every way.

It's the human nature of parents. Parents already love their young sons, and if they experience the death of their eldest sons and eldest daughters, this love for their cubs will become more and more intense.

Therefore, no matter what happens for the country, Zhu Youdong hopes not to sacrifice any happiness of his daughter. He didn't want to use his daughter as a bargaining chip in exchange for national interests.

It's a pity that Zhu Youdong also knows that it is not easy for Lan Fang to establish a country, the outside world is eyeing him, and there are side branches of the "clan" staring at him, if the son-in-law that his daughter will marry in the future is not prestigious, skilled and powerful enough, he will not be able to control the scene at all.

He also wants a capable and prestigious son-in-law, and he wants this son-in-law to be lascivious and single-minded, which is a bit difficult to do, so he has not looked for a candidate in advance over the years.

How can a man be successful and not lustful.

is single-minded and disgusted with others and has no ability.

Gu Kun knew that there was no need to be entangled in this matter, and he had to make the other party either give up or accept the reality.

Anyway, even if Zhu Youdong gave up, he would have other ways to turn the future Lan Fang ruler into a puppet.

Lan Fang's plate is too small, Gu Kun's strength is already too big, and it is impossible for the local forces to resist him.

"Your Highness, I know what you're worried about, so I'll tell you the truth. Regardless of what the county lord thinks of me when she grows up in the future, let's just talk about the objective truth: I am seven years older than her, and I am a young man with strong blood, do you think I may not be close to women before she becomes an adult?

As for that Pabli, I don't have any feelings for her, we just use each other to fornicate. I need to use her to show that I have the ability to make the celebrities in the top luxury cultural and tourism circles in Oceania bow down and make me their first man. She also needs to prove through me that the celebrity of their family is a man who can hook the man in the world, and is also a man who is a top business tycoon, to play with them, to prove their personal charm, and other than that, there is nothing.

I'm not half-lying when I say this today, I'm not afraid to tell you, in fact, before that Pabli, I already had another female companion, and you have also seen it, I have a little more heart for that girl, after all, she doesn't ask me anything, and I have to take care of her life as a man.

You're worrying so much now, I think you're thinking too much, if you really love your daughter, you shouldn't choose a husband for her, but you should go with the flow - if the county lord is a little older in the future, and doesn't look down on me, and thinks I'm of inferior character, then I will definitely not seduce her with flattery and words. If she can accept everything about me herself, why should you bother?"

"You...... cough cough ...... "Zhu Youdong has been in the top position for a long time, although he knows that Gu Kun's strength and family property are no longer under him, but he is still a little angry when he is stated so bluntly by the other party, and he can't help coughing a few times.

After all, he is almost 65 years old, and the unopened saber used as a guard of honor is sometimes used by him as a crutch.

Fortunately, the sound insulation of the car is very good, and the driver's cab is separated, so it is not afraid that Gu Kun's words that made the royal family lose their dignity will be heard.

Zhu Youdong finally calmed down his emotions and breathing, and then poked the saber scabbard and taught him a lesson: "Okay, it's enough, even if you dare to do it, then I won't be a villain in vain, if I know that you are like this, I can still see you in the future, and I won't obstruct you too much."

However, I have a bottom line, and you have to abide by it: I mean, if you have the ability to get mixed up that day, you must also promise that you can't have children with a woman other than leisurely in this life. Secondly, if you have the ability to let your child inherit the title of Grand Duke in the future, then the child who inherits the title must be the surname of the country-

As for you, I won't force you anymore. Look at you are also a backbone, the Ming Dynasty has been dead for three hundred years, and you will not be willing to change your surname. Anyway, if you don't change it, you don't want to inherit the title in your life. ”
