Chapter 145: Enlightenment
When Zhou Hao accompanied Li Meng on Earth to spend a sweet Christmas and returned to White Bird Star again, he found that everything here suddenly changed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Several construction sites suddenly appeared in space, and countless workers were busy, seemingly building space docks and space elevators.
The area planned for Gusu City has a group of enthusiastic visitors, and the front of the White Bird Star ruling government square, which originally refused to even come over to, is now crowded with people, listening to their conversations, opening their mouths and closing their mouths Huaxia Made, but it is not clear whether they are here to buy a house or to invest.
Zhou Hao looked at the gray-faced, boxy, and only three-story ruling government building in front of him, shook his head and smiled, "I actually forgot to build a new office location for them." ”
After Han Tian's uncle Tian Gaoyun heard Zhou Hao's arrival, he personally welcomed Zhou Hao into his office.
Tian Gaoyun is respectful and grateful from the bottom of his heart for the eldest brother he met his nephew on an alien planet, especially after receiving Zhou Hao's meeting gift for the first time, Tian Gaoyuan already regarded this as his master in his heart, but Zhou Hao insisted on taking his age as an elder, and only agreed that Tian Gaoyuan would call himself "sir". However, it was also because of this psychology that Gao Tianyun actually acquiesced in his nephew becoming Mr. Zhou's servant.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you for your help. Yesterday, His Majesty the Emperor of Light ordered the White Bird Star to be renamed the Royal White Bird Star, and designated us as the Royal Leisure Planet. Yesterday afternoon, the Kifan Empire sent someone to repair the space dock, and it is said that ten communication lines will be opened here, one of which will lead directly to the light star. It's all hard work!"
After waiting for Zhou Hao to sit on the chair, Tian Gaoyuan put a cup of White Bird Star special juice in front of Zhou Hao with both hands, and then happily introduced the changes of White Bird Star to Zhou Hao.
According to the Interstellar Code, the royal family can designate a planet with a royal title at the expense of the royal family to bear the planetary fiefdom tax for that planet. Of course, the royal family is not stupid, and all planets with the title of "royal" must pay an additional 17% of the annual profits to the royal family as a protection fee in addition to paying various government taxes normally...... Uh, it's the royal tax!
The good thing is that the arrears of the White Bird Star have been paid by the Interstellar Union Bank, and the White Bird Star will slowly pay it back in the future.
At this time, Han Tian also rushed into the office with a spring breeze on his face, "Master, you are here!"
"Ah Tian, what the hell is going on? It's all confusing me!" Zhou Hao asked after waving his hand and popping out a shield to isolate the small office.
"Master, this matter was done by Brown...... Han Tian said with a happy face how Brown found the prince and how he encouraged his incorruptible tongue to persuade the prince to put the word royal in front of the White Bird Star and designate the White Bird Star as the royal leisure planet.
"What are the conditions for the royal family?" Zhou Hao's heart moved after hearing this, there is no love in the world for no reason, and the royal actions seem to be a little too generous.
"No, it's just that we are required to be able to build the summer resort and the government garden before the summer of the light star next year, I calculated the time, there are still more than two hundred days, don't worry. ”
"What about the construction costs?"
"Prince Peter is fully responsible, just waiting for us to submit the budget. However, he demanded that the pavilion be made of the best materials...... By the way, in the future, our pavilion can't be repaired casually, the royal family thinks that it is a place where you can listen to the oracle of the god of light, and Brown has told us to be careful about this. ”
After Han Tian saw Zhou Hao's performance, the joy on his face slowly faded a lot.
"What about wine?" Zhou Hao nodded, the royal family in the world is all virtuous, which is easy to understand.
"Wine became a royal wine, and the royal family demanded that we produce 500 tons a year and not sell it. But Brown offered us a great price. After Han Tian licked his lips, he stretched out his palm, and shook his five fingers apart in front of him, "A bottle of 50,000 crystal coins, 100 ml can be sold for 50,000 crystal coins, it is definitely the most expensive wine in the universe." ”
"Fifty thousand crystal coins?" Zhou Hao laughed loudly, "Say, what benefits did that bastard of Brown promise?"
Han Tian smiled strangely, scratched his scalp, and said honestly: "After we receive the money, we will give one-third to the governor, that is, Prince Peter." ”
"Prince Peter even embezzled his brother's money?" Zhou Hao's eyes widened, and he suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help patting his thigh and laughing, "I see!"
The regulations in the Star Code stipulate that the expenses used by the royal family to reward imperial officials and diplomatic transactions are to be paid for by the national treasury.
It's really generous to others!
However, after Zhou Hao laughed, he suddenly thought that the government had always dealt with the royal family very well, so he asked Han Tian, "How can the government agree?"
"The Emperor of Light invited the prime minister to a meal, as if the royal family would give the prime minister a ton of wine every year. A puzzled look suddenly appeared on Han Tian's face. With the power of the Prime Minister of the Empire, it is a benefit to extend a hand casually in billions. The benefits of 500 million crystals per year should not be enough to buy the prime minister......
"You don't understand!" Zhou Hao thought clearly about the reason in his heart after listening to Han Tian's doubts.
The emperor can't give wine to the prime minister privately for no reason, even if the reward can't be even a hundred catties of reward, so it seems that the royal imperial wine is worthless!
Then there is only one way!
One day, after the prime minister finished his work, the emperor spoke: "The prime minister handled this matter just right, and I am very relieved, and I will reward two bottles of royal imperial elixir and jade liquid!"
Another day, the prime minister was a little wronged. The emperor opened his mouth and said: "Aiqing has been wronged, reward you with two bottles of wine and go home to suppress the shock!"
In this way, the prime minister has a face, and he can also create a good scene of monarchs and ministers knowing each other and making peace to all living beings in the empire.
Zhou Hao traveled for several months, and he understood the relationship between the monarchs and ministers of the Bright Empire: there was both strife and cooperation, and both sides had a common interest: harmony and stability!
Thinking of this, Zhou Hao said to Han Tian: "Since the royal family has raised the value of wine so high, it is really difficult for us to get too much wine in." In the future, the wine sold by Shiratori Xing himself will be changed to a strong aroma type, and I will get you 5,000 tons a year. In addition, I have already brought over a 150,000-tonne-per-year red wine production line, as well as a group of winemakers, sommeliers and vineyarders from Gaul, so that they can produce red wine in Shiratori with peace of mind in the future. The formation is already laid out on the machine, and the wine does not need to be aged in oak barrels, and it can be shipped in a month. When the wine is ready, the taster is released to promote the wine. As for the more high-end red wine, it will be slowly pushed after the market is cultivated. You know?"
"I understand, white wine will be a specialty of China in the future, and gold will be expensive! Red wine is also good, suitable for pretending!" Han Tian looked at Zhou Hao with a very admiring look in his eyes, but slapped Zhou Hao coldly, "Since you know this, why don't you hurry up and practice red wine etiquette, if you still look uncomfortable next time you check your homework, I will lock you up in a small black room." ”
Man is selfish. In Zhou Hao's mind, white wine and rice wine are the wines that truly represent China, as for red wine and beer...... are all imported products, so Zhou Hao unscrupulously took them out to impact the alien society, and by the way, buried a pit for the future. Anyway, in the future, if the alien society wants to drink the best white wine and rice wine, they can only buy the red wine made in Huaxia and Omega...... Hehe, anyway, the red wine produced by the earth is definitely not as good as the red wine produced by the white bird star!
After watching Han Tianxing rush to the newly built dormitory with dozens of Gallic wine experts, Zhou Hao touched his chin and began to make a small calculation.
The liquor is a hit, but we still have to find an opportunity to let the alien soil buns feel the mellow flavor of Huaxia rice wine...... It is definitely a high-end atmosphere, low-key luxury has connotation!
Just when Zhou Hao was thinking about it, there was a sudden commotion downstairs, Tian Gaoyun's face changed drastically after listening to a few words, and he wanted to rush out in a hurry but was stopped by Zhou Hao.
"Since they all want to move in the first batch, let's put it up for auction! We are afraid that customers will not grab it, and our goal is to make the real estate of White Bird Star into a rigid demand for high added value, understand?"
How could Gao Tianyun understand the lofty concept of "just need", and shook his head blankly.
Seeing this, Zhou Hao sighed helplessly, looked at Gao Tianyun with rotten wood eyes, and asked coldly, "When you got married, did your wife's mother, who is your mother-in-law, ask you to have a house in the top 20 of the Jifan Star number, preferably a school district house?"
"Yes!" Gao Tianyun seemed to recall the past, and hurriedly said that he had scraped together enough money to buy a house but no money for a banquet, "Is the school district house close to the house of the Royal Elementary School?"
Zhou Hao snapped his fingers happily, "By the way, your mother-in-law's request back then was just need, and the house near the Royal Primary School was the reason for the high price, and together it was a high value-added just need, if you don't buy it, you can't buy it, and if you buy it cheaply, you understand?"
"Taught!" Gao Tianyun learned the etiquette of Zhou Hao's first meeting, stiffly arched his hand in front of his chest, and walked out quickly.
Then, Zhou Hao heard Gao Tianyun's voice ringing in the square, "Distinguished guests, because the Royal White Bird Star has only built ten sets of Huaxia Wind Gardens at present, and we are about to make every effort to build a summer resort for the Great Emperor of Light, so we will not launch a new Huaxia Wind Garden in a short period of time." Due to the large number of buyers, the Royal White Bird Star Government has decided that in addition to the Avoidance Garden that His Royal Highness has booked, the other nine gardens will be auctioned in this square in twenty days, and the highest bidder will be awarded!"
After Zhou Hao quietly listened to Gao Tianyun's broadcast, he exhaled a long breath, "Ciao, if you really have no business or treachery, you learn so fast!"
