In the meeting room, Ambassador Zhang explained to Zheng Xudong the precautions regarding land purchase, and then asked Zheng Xudong what the second requirement was? Zheng Xudong didn't want to say it, but he couldn't resist Ambassador Zhang's persuasion.

After thinking about it, he said, "Ambassador Zhang, my second request is to invest in Yangshan Port in the magic capital. ”

Ambassador Zhang didn't expect Zheng Xudong to run directly from the Northwest Desert to the magic capital, this span is not small, "Tell me, why do you want to invest in this Yangshan Port?"

Zheng Xudong took a puff of his cigar and said in a language: "In fact, it is very simple, the strength of our country's port construction is obvious to all in the world, and now among the top ten ports in the world, seven of them are in China. And the largest is Yangshan Port in the magic capital. The construction of the port began in April 2002 when the first phase of the project was invested, and two phases of construction have been completed so far. As far as I know, the third phase of this project with a total investment of 70 billion yuan is trying to find a way to raise money in society. But the effect is not good, because everyone thinks that so much port investment and construction is a bit blind and wasted capacity. But I'm bullish on the project, so I'd like to invest in it, if I can. ”

Zheng Xudong's words surprised Ambassador Zhang Ye a little, "I didn't expect you to know so much?"

Zheng Xudong laughed twice, "Does Xiucai know the affairs of the world without going out? Besides, the construction of Yangshan Port, the magic capital, is such a big political achievement project, and TV stations, newspapers, and various media on the Internet are eager to report it every day, what else do you not know? ”

"I didn't expect you to understand macroeconomics so well?" said Ambassador Zhang.

"I don't understand, it's just that in the past few years, I have been busy with the college entrance examination, and there are no TV programs to watch, so my parents let me watch CCTV news, and I can see the great achievements of the motherland's construction over the years in the CCTV news every day, our leaders are really busy, foreign countries are very chaotic, very unsafe, only our country is the best. Isn't this what the country wants to instill in our generation!"

Ambassador Zhang laughed awkwardly when he heard the young man next to him suddenly tell the essence of the news, pointed at Zheng Xudong and said, "Your generation of young people is really amazing, much better than us back then." Tell me what else is wrong?"

Zheng Xudong took a puff of his cigar, frowned and said, "There are many questions, and they can't be explained clearly at one time." Besides, these are the things of the upper echelons of the country, and I just want to go to school, study, and do this well. ”

"It's okay, let's hear it, it's nothing to do right now anyway, is it?" Ambassador Zhang really wanted to see how much ability this young man had.

Hearing Ambassador Zhang's question, Zheng Xudong thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll just talk about the most superficial problem, which is our country's steel production. ”

"Is there anything wrong with steel production?" said Ambassador Zhang.

"The biggest problem is that there are many, too many, and there is a single variety. After taking a puff of his cigar, he continued: "I don't know if Ambassador Zhang has seen a joke circulating on the Internet about steel production. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"Well, that's what the Internet says about our country's steel production.

Ranking of the world's steel production:

1st Place: China (excluding HB Province);

2nd Place: Hobei Province, China (excluding TS City);

Third place: TS City, Hebei Province, China (excluding production concealment);

4th place: RB

5th place: United States

6th place: India

7th place: Russia

8th place: South Korea

No. 9: Concealed production in TS City, HB Province, China;

(TS City concealed 50 million tons of output, just a little more than Germany, which is the tenth place)

10th place: Germany.

The first time I saw it, I thought it was a joke, hehe! Some netizens listed the specific amount of steel production, so I won't talk about it. ”

It was also the first time Ivanka had heard that China's steel production was so amazing, and after opening her mouth wide, she said: "Your country's steel output is simply amazing, no wonder your country has developed so fast over the years!"

Ambassador Zhang didn't expect Zheng Xudong to know in such detail, and he hadn't heard of the joke, so he said: "It's not funny, shouldn't we be proud of so much steel production?"

"That's right, Ambassador Zhang, it's a good thing to have a lot of steel production, but here it brings me to the second problem I mentioned, that is, the problem of single variety. ”

"Tell me more. At this time, Ambassador Zhang had already taken out a small notepad and a pen from his pocket to record, and the amount of information he had received today was too much.

Zheng Xudong continued: "In fact, to put it bluntly, we can only produce ordinary steel, not special steel. For example, the deck steel of aircraft carriers, American aircraft carriers generally use HY-100 steel, and the latest Ford-class aircraft carriers use HSLA-100 new steel. But we can't even produce HY-80 steel now. Or rather, it is being developed. This is the gap, we can't just look at the steel production, but also the quality of the steel. Netizens summarized the figures of steel production in major countries in the world and said them for Ambassador Zhang to hear.

1. China: 780 million tons (more than 50% of the world's total)

2. RB: 110 million tons

3. United States: 87 million tons

4. India: 81 million tons

5. HBTS City: 80 million tons

6. Russia: 69.4 million tons

7. South Korea: 66 million tons

8. TJ: 60 million tons

9. HBQA County: 50 million tons

South America combined: 46 million tons

10. Germany: 42.6 million tons

11. Brazil: 34 million tons

12. Ukraine: 3280 tons... ”

After Zheng Xudong finished speaking, he took a puff of cigarette, "In this ranking, only India and Brazil cannot produce special steel for aircraft carriers, and other countries can produce it, including our stick country, which can also produce it." But we can't. The announced steel output is the output of special steel, and the low-end steel is imported from our country because it is cheap and does not pollute the environment. So there will be no smog in those countries!

Ambassador Zhang was really shocked by Zheng Xudong's words, he didn't know if the upper echelons of the country knew about these things, and he had never heard of any netizens summing up these things, and he didn't know where this young man got the figures. But listening to what he said, it can indeed be seen that steel, a building material, does need to be adjusted industrially.

Zheng Xudong saw that Ambassador Zhang's record was very serious and said more, "Ambassador Zhang, you may not know that the tip of the ballpoint pen you use is made of steel, and our country can not produce it, our country is the world's largest country in the production and sales of ballpoint pens, with more than 3,000 pen-making enterprises, more than 20 million employees, and an annual output of more than 40 billion ballpoint pens. Ambassador Zhang, you probably don't know about this, and it doesn't report it in the news!"

Ambassador Zhang also blushed when he heard Zheng Xudong's words, and recorded all the things he had just said in this small notebook, and will report to the Central Committee on the situation he got today after returning to the embassy. It took him five minutes to finish recording everything he had said, and when he was done, he carefully put the notepad in the pocket of his suit, put the pen away, and stood up.

Ambassador Zhang took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shake Zheng Xudong, and said: "Child, what you said today is very important, I didn't expect you to see macroeconomic issues so thoroughly at a young age, I will report what you said to the above, I believe that the above will carefully consider your request." Before I go out, I want to say that our country has taken a detour in the process of development, but this is a road that no one has ever walked before, and we must be allowed to make mistakes, but we have also corrected them in time. Don't be discouraged by our country, which is still the fastest growing country in the world. ”

Zheng Xudong also shook his hand and said: "I believe that my country will definitely develop better and better, and realize the rejuvenation of the whole nation as soon as possible!"

"Okay, you said very well, let's go out together, or let Ms. Wendi Deng wait in a hurry!" said and took Zheng Xudong's hand and walked out, and when he arrived at the door, Ambassador Zhang stopped and let go of Zheng Xudong's hand and said: "I heard that you are the top student in this year's Magic City College Entrance Examination, and you are still applying for the Chinese University outside the capital." ”

"Yes, Mr. Ambassador. Zheng Xudong replied.

"Then we are alumni, I graduated in 76, a few years before you, call you a little junior brother, it's not too much. Ha... As he spoke, he took out a business card and handed it to him, "This is my personal business card, you can find me for anything in the future." With that, he opened the door of the living room and walked out.

Ivanka took Zheng Xudong's arm again and looked at the little boy next to her with adoring eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zheng Xudong asked.

"You have the potential to be a diplomat, I am optimistic about you!"

", it's all nonsense just now, don't take it seriously. ”

"No, you must understand the economy, otherwise it is impossible for so many investments to be without mistakes, but you have never made mistakes, and you have made a lot of money every time. ”

"My dear, that's blind, you believe it!" Zheng Xudong said to Ivanka quibbly.

"I can see if it's blind, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask. But someone recommended a virtual investment currency to me, I want to consult you, I don't know if I should invest?"

"What is the virtual investment currency called?" Zheng Xudong was a little curious about what could make this strong business woman ask himself about this economic two or five eyes.

"It seems to be called something, ah, yes, it's called Bitcoin, yes, that's the name, it's very awkward, Bitcoin. Someone told me to buy some. But do you know that the Internet bubble in the United States has just burst, and it has fallen into the subprime mortgage crisis, and everyone has become frightened birds, and no one dares to take action easily! Don't you ask you, the illegitimate son of God?"

When Zheng Xudong heard Ivanka say the word "bitcoin", his head "buzzed", and he couldn't help but say: "WHAT! bitcoin!WHAT THE FUCK!"
