Lu Yang said: "Everything has cause and effect, and you have to fight when it's time to fight...... This time we went to France not to fight, but to negotiate a new trade agreement with them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The new trade agreement is a world event in the second half of 2021, and almost everyone knows that Zhu Xiaotong has a master's degree from Beijing University and is a person from Luyang's pillow, so he knows more.

"Can the French agree? Didn't you say that the EU and the United States together resolutely refused to sign? Zhu Xiaotong asked.

Lu Yang smiled: "They don't want to sign, but they can't bear the price." The domestic market of the United States is vast, and it can bear it for the time being, but France can't bear it. Our visit is actually to test the French government, and if they are interested, we will give them a step down. ”

"What steps?" Zhu Xiaotong asked.

Lu Yang said: "Give them a gift." ”

Gifts? Zhu Xiaotong looked at Lu Yang suspiciously, it was hard for her to imagine what gift could be worthy of the steps of France.

2021 has passed, 2022 is coming, New Year's Day, Penglai Island is very lively. On New Year's Day last year, because of the Red Wall Square incident, Penglai Island was immersed in grief and fear. There are also many people who have no confidence in the future of Penglai Island and choose to leave, and no one is in the mood to spend New Year's Day.

Few people could have predicted that after a short period of low tide, Penglai Island will become more and more prosperous, not only eliminating security threats, but also striding onto the world stage and becoming an important force in shaping the international situation.

Now Penglai Island is not only an economic center, but also a political center.

Last year's events reminded Lu Yang, who in the middle of the year, adjusted his immigration policy, rejecting those who had left Penglai Island and increasing immigration from within China. As of now, the total population of Penglai Island is 6.2 million, of which 5.9 million are from China, accounting for more than 95%.

In 2021, Penglai Island's economic development has been full of twists and turns. Unlike the previous smooth curve, Penglai Island's economy has experienced two troughs and two highs and tides this year.

In the first quarter, affected by the Red Wall Square incident, Penglai Island's economic growth declined significantly, but after Luyang solved the United States, the economy improved rapidly. In the third quarter, Penglai Island's economic growth almost stagnated due to economic sanctions imposed by Western countries, but after the establishment of the Asian Trade Organization, the economy rose rapidly.

Sadly, Penglai missed its booking target for this year, and its economic growth rate hit a new low of 21%, compared to 33% last year. Of course, even 21% is already an extremely high figure, especially after Penglai Island's economy exceeds 3,000 billion.

In fact, even if there is no external influence, the economic growth rate of Penglai Island will still decline, which is inevitable in economic development.

It's a bit of a pity that, according to Pangu's statistics, Penglai Island's GDP in 2021 will be about 3.9 trillion yuan, failing to break through the 4.0 trillion mark.

Despite this, Penglai Island is still very promising to surpass Shencheng and win the crown of China's GDP city rankings. Based on last year's data, unless Shencheng's GDP growth rate exceeds 12%, it is likely to retain its first position, but it is obviously unlikely.

It is absolutely a miracle in the history of human economy that a deep-sea island city that has been established less than 7 years ago and is located far away from the mainland can surpass the two major central cities of China, Shencheng and Beijing, in terms of economy.

Lu Yang was about to go to the mall with his family, not to buy anything, just to join in the fun. Every holiday, Penglai International Mall is always the most lively. Zhu Xiaotong and Lingling especially liked the atmosphere there, which made it a habit for Lu Yang's family to go to the mall during festivals.

When he was about to go out, Li Yilong came.

"Good news, boss!" Li Yilong shouted loudly, excitement in his tired face.

Lu Yang looked at him in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Lao Li, what do you say slowly......

Zhu Xiaotong immediately poured him a cup of tea, and then sat aside.

"What is the good news that makes you happy like this? Have you discovered the planet of life? Lu Yang couldn't help asking.

Li Yilong laughed and said: "Naturally, it's great news, boss, look at this ......"

Li Yilong opened his North Star, called up a document, and opened it on the blue projection screen.

"This is the information we just received, an exploration satellite from an asteroid swarm...... This exploration satellite was launched two years ago to detect the resources of the asteroid group, which is now about 40 million kilometers away from Earth......"

Li Yilong opened the pictures, which he had just received.

Lu Yang became interested, and he carefully looked at the information and pictures sent back by the detection satellite.

"Could it be that the exploration satellites have found resources that can be used?" Lu Yang asked.

Li Yilong gave a thumbs up: "The boss is the boss, in a word!" Our exploration satellite made a surprise discovery at the edge of the asteroid swarm......"

Li Yilong opened a picture, and Lu Yang and his family immediately looked over.

"This asteroid has a diameter of 2,037 meters, which does not look big, but the iron content reaches 82%, which means that from this asteroid, we can extract more than 260 billion tons of iron, which is higher than the total reserves of iron ore in the world!"

"So much?" Zhu Xiaotong exclaimed, "But it's so far away from the earth, I'm afraid we won't be able to use it, right?" ”

Lu Yang looked at it and said, "If you want to use it, it's still possible...... Lao Li, in addition to this, there are new discoveries, right? ”

Li Yilong nodded and said, "The iron element is nothing in this asteroid group, and the most surprising thing to me is that we found the iron element on another asteroid!" ”

"Found the Shovel?" Lu Yang stood up in surprise, "How about the reserves?" ”

It is an element that does not exist on earth, and very few people know about it. It is the main material of aerospace aircraft and aerospace fighters, which can be synthesized artificially, but the cost is high and the output is small.

Searching for the element in the universe is one of the most important tasks that Lu Yang gave to Li Yilong.

"It's huge!" Li Yilong could not hide his excitement, he was one of the very few people who knew and understood the role of the asteroid, "It is conservatively estimated that the reserves of the asteroid on this asteroid are more than one million tons, and perhaps the actual reserves are ten times that of this number!" ”

"Megaton? Hahaha, Lao Li, this New Year's Day gift is too big! "Lu Yang is also a little out of shape.

Zhu Xiaotong looked at the two of them from the side, a little confused in her mind, but she knew that this Gong must be very important, otherwise how could she make characters like Lu Yang and Li Yilong lose their temper?
