Chapter Eighty-Five: Christmas Night
A small private party was being held at Yuan Shi's home, on the one hand to celebrate Christmas, and on the other hand, to welcome Zhou Jun, who was far away in Hawaii, to the Ming Kingdom. There are not many people at the party, but they are all very reliable people, including Yuan Shi, Yuan Shi's girlfriend Bai Hong, Zhou Jun, Xu Bin, Guo Siyan, Zhang Chenguang, Liu Yun, Xu Jingyao, Yuan Shi's home is a special residence of 120 square meters, and it is more than enough to put down these people.
In addition to Yuan Shi and his girlfriend, the owner of the party also has an Akita dog Mao Mao purchased from Japan. Yuan Shi's home is decorated in American style, there is a Christmas tree imported from China in the living room, the refrigerator is full of German beer, furniture imported from South Korea, household appliances imported from Japan, the dining room is full of dry tunes from China, and Yuan Shi's favorite old godmother.
Among the restaurants, I ordered a roast turkey and a roast suckling pig that are indispensable for Western Christmas in an American restaurant. The guests were beaming with joy as they wore a Santa hat on their heads.
It's already seven o'clock in the evening, but the protagonist hasn't come yet. Xu Bin had no choice but to say to Yuan Shi: "Third brother, you can call the eldest brother again." ”
Yuan Shi took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone number again, but heard the video doorbell ringing. Guo Siyan's boyfriend Zhang Chenguang was the first to check, and sure enough, Zhu Wei came, dressed in black, and there was no entourage.
It turned out that Zhu Wei had been watching the budget report for the whole year in the palace, and Menxia Province had recently been controversial and needed to be revised again.
Although Zhang Yanran is far away in China these days, she will call him every day, and Zhu Wei is still on a business trip in Mingguo during Christmas, which makes Zhang Yanran very unhappy. But there is nothing that can be done.
As soon as Zhu Wei entered the door, he saw his good friend Zhou Jun, and the two looked at each other for three seconds.
"Stinky boy, do you know we miss you very much." Zhou Jun is still as burly as before, Zhou Jun was a sportsman in college, and his physical fitness is good, and he has always been a striker when he plays football.
"I miss you too." Zhou Jun smiled.
Zhou Jun really wanted to give Zhu Wei a hug, but the current Zhu Wei is no longer the Zhu Wei of the past, I'm afraid that next time I want to hug again, it will be very difficult to make trouble. But Zhu Wei didn't care about that, and came up directly to give Zhou Jun a hug.
"What? Came back alone? Didn't you bring me a brother or sister? ”
"Not yet, big brother will look for it first, and I'll look for it again." Zhou Jun said with a smile.
Yuan Shi laughed: "Roll the calf, you just say that you have no way, who is buried, you are noble, and the eldest brother will look for it first, the eldest brother wants to get married and is not fast, and the beauties grab a handful." ”
Then, Yuan Shi introduced everyone to each other, his girlfriend Bai Hong was the manager of a competing hotel, and they met by accident, and as a result, they fell in love with each other at first sight, and they fell in love like this. Bai Hong's personality is more hearty, and she also has the calmness of a female manager. It's also very easy to talk to everyone.
Zhu Wei's identity is no longer a secret among these people today, but there are also people present who don't know his identity, just like Bai Hong, Liu Yun, and Xu Jingyao. Liu Yun saw Zhu Wei at the inauguration ceremony of Menxia Province, and then turned out the currency of 100 gold yuan, and instantly felt that these two were simply the same person.
After returning to the hotel, Liu Yun repeatedly used language to trap Yuan Shi's words, but he didn't admit that Yuan Shi was very smart, but only said that he looked alike. Liu Yun told Xu Jingyao the news again, although Xu Jingyao felt like it, but after careful analysis, the probability of finally thinking that Zhu Wei was the emperor of the Ming Kingdom was only 30%. But even with this 30%, the two of them still observed the performance of him and the others after Zhu Wei came, testing if they could see something.
It was a rare time for everyone to get together, and it was the first Christmas Eve in the Ming Kingdom, and everyone drank a lot of wine, and Zhu Wei, a person with a modified body, was also a little dizzy.
Liu Yun observed all night, and did not hear Zhu Wei and these brothers talk about the so-called "national affairs", so he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. knew that if Zhu Wei didn't want to say it, he wouldn't get the result if he asked him himself.
After Zhu Wei participated in the event, he returned directly to the stealth ship, there was no concept of Christmas on the ship, and he took the elevator back to the captain's room through the bridge, the imperial princess Qingxuan green silk shawl, wearing the sleeveless white clothes of the Canglong Empire, wearing white sunscreen sleeves on her arms, revealing a pair of snow-white long legs, was lying leisurely on the bed, looking at the virtual screen in front of her, eating snacks.
"Welcome back, Commander." After Qing Xuan finished speaking, she continued to eat her snacks, these were all foods from the earth, which Zhu Wei brought back in Huaxia.
"Well, good evening Qingxuan, what are you doing?"
"Look at the Internet of Earth Society."
Zhu Wei put the pocket in his hand on the captain's desk, which was the food prepared for Christmas today, "Look, tell me how you feel after reading it, these are the food you bring, try it." After speaking, Zhu Wei sat on the rotating chair in front of the desk, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at Qing Xuan.
Qing Xuan got up from the bed, came to the table and opened the bag, only to see that it was also roast turkey, Christmas cake, candy, and Yingzhou black plum soup brought back from Mingguo.
"I'm not hungry now, let's eat tomorrow." Qing Xuan happened to be a little thirsty, so she took out the black plum soup and took a sip, instantly revealing an incredible expression, and then took another sip. "Delicious!" Qing Xuan took a big sip.
"It's delicious, what kind of drink is this?"
"This is the black plum soup of the Ming Kingdom" Zhu Wei looked at the girl in front of her, she didn't understand a lot, it was time to let her go out to get used to life in the Ming Kingdom first, it was not a long-term solution to be like a bird in a cage, Zhu Wei thought.
Early the next morning, Zhu Wei rushed to Zhongshu Province, and met Lang Haiping, the governor of the central bank, who came out of the face, Lang Haiping was proud, his face was full of spirit, which looked like an old man who was over half a hundred years old, but it could also be seen that he had lost a lot of weight, all for the Ming country, this year under his management, the Ming economy was very good, and next year the Dongdu Exchange was listed and began to trade the stock market, and his heart would be ten times higher than now.
Lang Haiping saw Zhu Wei and hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I'm looking for you." ”
Zhu Wei shook hands with Lang Haiping with a smile, stepped on the yellow maple leaves all over the ground, and instantly remembered when he found Lang Haiping on Dongguang Satellite TV last year. Half a year has passed.
"It's such a coincidence, I'm looking for you too."
The two of them laughed, and Lang Haiping said, "That's great, we can talk about it." ”
"Let's go, let's go to Prime Minister Song and talk together." Zhu Wei said.
The prime minister's office is located in the innermost part of the secretary province, and the highest official of the secretary province is the secretary of the province, whose surname is Chang, and everyone calls him Chang Provincial Supervisor. He saw that His Majesty the Emperor was coming, and hurriedly led the two to the prime minister's office.
The three of them came to a small conference room and officially began to discuss, Lang Haiping said: "Your Majesty, I think we have any plans to increase our gold reserves this year?" ”
That's the question you ask me? How would I know, but I know that the reserves of one ton of gold when the Ming Kingdom was first opened were indeed a bit low. "Is there not enough gold reserves? How much do you need? ”
"In the past six months, the economic development of the Ming Kingdom has been too fast, and it is beyond my expectations, the gold reserves of our bank are too low, and now with the increase in domestic economic activities, in order to ensure that the value of our gold yuan continues to be strong, we need to increase our gold reserves."
"Yes, you are the Minister of Finance of the Empire and the governor of the Central Bank, I don't understand economic matters, you can tell how much you need."
Lang Haiping said: "If it can be increased to 100 tons, then our gold reserves can be close to the level of Singapore, which should be enough." As far as I know, our Ming Kingdom exported more than 100 tons of gold last year, right? ”
100 tons of gold? It's too petty, Zhu Wei said: "In this way, I'll give you 200 tons of gold, and increase my country's gold reserves to 1,000 tons in five years, which is enough for you, right?" ”
Lang Haiping couldn't believe the emperor's words, this emperor is too fierce, although the royal consortium has a lot of money now, but this is also too capricious. Not to mention how much gold reserves there are in this Ming country, this output can't be reached, and it has to be imported, according to 25 million gold yuan a ton, 200 tons of gold is 5 billion gold dollars. In five years, it will reach 1,000 tons, which is 25 billion gold dollars.
"Is it enough?" Zhu Wei looked at him with a smile, as long as you don't say enough, I will increase it for you.
"That's enough." Lang Haiping nodded. "We have too much export surplus and too much foreign exchange, and I hope to set up the third bank of the royal consortium, Daming Overseas Venture Capital Bank, and take out half of the foreign exchange to support domestic enterprises to seize foreign markets."
"Yes, you decide, by the way, this year we may have to apply to join the WTO, and Huaxia also invited us to join the Songhai Cooperation Organization. I want you to put together a document and show it to me. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll take this out."
