On his first day in Florence, Italy, he visited the museums and galleries. The day after www.biquge.info arrived in Florence, Wei Kun visited the art market, which included handicrafts. On the third day of his arrival in Florence, he held cordial talks with representatives of the Government of the Kingdom of Italy and business groups, and had a full exchange of views on the work of Italian citizens in the East African Administrative Region. And a number of intentional agreements were reached.

On his fourth day in Florence, Wei Kun visited the headquarters of the International Bank of Florence, which is under the de facto control of China, where he met for the first time the Marquis de Grace, a major shareholder of the bank. Unlike the women who wore skirts, the Marquis Grace wore a women's suit, showing off her slender figure. Beautiful long dark blonde hair with an elegant hairstyle on the head, very dignified and elegant. The outfit is elegant and generous, and the Marquis Grace is radiant and vibrant in appearance. Although this beauty is not the type that Wei Kun likes, Wei Kun's first impression of this Mediterranean beauty is very good.

The content of the talks was the Cyprus issue, and the DPRK was preparing to establish its own financial base in Europe in Cyprus, which naturally had a great impact on the previous financial layout. Italy once hoped that China would put its head office in Europe, at least the financial core of the Mediterranean, in Italy. Now, Italy is unlikely to compete for that position. Moreover, Cyprus is not far from Italy, and many Italian forces close to China have begun to worry about whether their existing status will be affected.

When Wei Kun heard these questions, he was very unhappy with Wang Mingshan, he never expected that Wang Mingshan would take care of the children at home and throw these messes to Wei Kun to deal with. The reason why the war broke out in southern Africa was because the Republic of China was determined to win the Rand gold mine, and Britain had a strong covetous heart for the Rand gold mine. After a war, Britain spent more than 100 million pounds, and although the Republic of China did not have any special expenditures, the East African administrative region spent a considerable amount of manpower and material resources. Finance is a national strategic issue of the Republic of China, where is the turn of the East African administrative region to intervene.

The guys on the other side asked Wei Kun, the 'prince', to give an answer, and Wei Kun felt a burst of weakness in his heart. Maybe it's because things are going to be the opposite, Wei Kun suddenly had a kind of resistance after he became weak. He smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am not in charge of diplomatic duties for Italy and the financial industry. So I'll record your questions, and you can put them on paper and give them to me before I go back. I will hand these over to my country's financial institutions. ”

Hearing Wei Kun openly admit that he had no say in financial issues, the faces of these bankers were not very good-looking. But what Wei Kun said is reasonable, and they can't overly persecute Wei Kun, the 'prince'. Finally, the talks returned to the original part of the discussion on Italy's provision of human resources to the East African Administrative Region and its investment in the East African Administrative Region.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our Democratic Dynasty and the East African Administrative Region believe in Marx, which is what you call the Communist Party. I don't hide it. So in the East African Administrative Region, we will use two models. The first is that for production that has been relatively stable, such as alfalfa production, we have a very clear division of the entire production process. Cultivating land, seeds, irrigation, soil improvement, harvesting, selling. The whole process will be very clearly divided, and the return on your investment is very stable. It's backed by our East African District government, much like government bonds. Because of our relationship with Italy, we are willing to share it with Italy. In addition to financial cooperation, Italy can also provide labor to East Africa to earn other benefits. ”

After Wei Kun finished speaking, an Italian banker immediately asked, "What is the return on investment benefits?" ”

“6%。” Wei Kun replied.

This percentage is not high, nor is it low. At this time, the fixed deposit interest rate of the Bank of France was also about 4%, although the profits of various speculative businesses were far higher than this, but Wei Kun just defined this as 'national debt', and this credit level was much higher than that of commercial ones.

Just as the financiers whispered to each other, a fat old banker who looked chubby asked, "So how much of the labor input you are talking about?" ”

"10 to 13 percent." Wei Kun replied. As soon as he said this, all the interlocutors were silent. They glared at Wei Kun, their eyes almost rolling out of their sockets. It is not uncommon for labor to exceed investors in the entire profit chain, but it is already a horror story to publicly declare such a thing in Europe.

In this atmosphere, Wei Kun said frankly: "Everyone, I just said that we are the Communist Party. We, the Communist Party, believe that the promotion of social development depends on the productive forces. And productivity is not thought up by the brain, productivity is achieved by human labor. Therefore, we adopt this clear standard of interest division in more mature industries. Alfalfa is a product with a small investment and large output, and it is still a seller's market. As long as the price is low enough, as much alfalfa as you want, you can sell it. Even if alfalfa cannot be sold in Europe, it can still be used locally for livestock production. Leather, bones, meat, these are very important products, and leather and bone meal can also be transported over long distances. We have a population of 800 million, and I assure you, it's a terrifying market. ”

"Your Royal Highness, what does this have to do with giving workers such high wages?" A banker broke the silence of the listeners below.

"This is what we Marxists think, we believe that only when the working people are paid more will they have more purchasing power. If the laborers have no purchasing power, to whom do we sell the products we produce? Wei Kun replied confidently.

Then there was another discussion, and Wei Kun's unequivocal stance on the side of the workers made the bankers very uncomfortable. Generally speaking, shouldn't it be the owners of assets who assure the bankers that they will do everything in their power to extract the maximum profit out of the industry, so that investors will be rewarded the most? Now the second son of the emperor of the Min Dynasty, His Royal Highness the Prince, who is likely to become the king of the East African kingdom in the future, is actually on the side of the laborers. Other than to prove that Communism and the Communist Party are unreasonable, these bankers have no other idea for the time being.

But behind this Royal Highness the prince is China's tens of millions of powerful troops, with huge battleships and artillery as backers. Even with such a foul statement, the bankers had no intention of openly opposing it. They got rid of this topic and moved on to the next. "Your Royal Highness, you said that there are two modes. The first one we already understand. What about the second? ”

Wei Kun replied calmly: "The second is that you have a clear investment direction, which is the most advanced science and technology direction. When we don't have it, we'd love for you to invest in us. We will give you some support, and your profits can fall into your own pockets. ”

"For example, what industry?" The banker was puzzled by the general description.

"For example, in the large-scale shipbuilding industry, one or two hundred tons will be counted. At best, it has to be a shipbuilding industry of four or five thousand tons, or even more than 10,000 tons. We don't have this kind of industry in East Africa right now, and if you are willing to invest in the East African administrative region, we would welcome it. Wei Kun relayed what he had received from his father, Wei Ze. For investing, Weser gave Wei Kun some advice, which at least sounded very attractive. Because of the war, the shipyards in Asia were almost at full capacity, and even after the war saw a significant reduction in production, Wei Kun believed that East Africa would have to have its own shipbuilding industry, at least the repair of large ships.

The bankers didn't say anything about it, and after talking for a while, they broke up and pulled it down. Wei Kun was glad that the bankers' previous demands had been completely dispelled, which made him much clearer.

When the Marquis Grace came home, she saw her son sleeping deeply in his cot. And Wang Mingshan was lying next to the baby and was also sleeping. From the mother's point of view, Wang Mingshan's swaggering sleeping appearance really can't show the care of the baby, but looking at the appearance of the father and son, Grace feels very relieved. But after a while, she thought that the morning after tomorrow, Wang Mingshan would take a cruise ship to distant East Africa and continue to be his envoy to the East African administrative region.

Now this sleeping father doesn't look very caring for the baby, but the morning after tomorrow, even the love is gone. Grace suddenly felt the urge to cry, she had thought that with status, wealth, position, and children who could inherit it all, she would have nothing more to ask for. But Grace discovers that the once-neglected family is now suddenly her longing. The desire was so strong that she suddenly felt that she could take her child to the wild East Africa. Being able to maintain a complete family made Grace feel that her life had a complete meaning.

But Grace was Grace after all, and the urge lasted only a few minutes before she banished it from her mind. Of course, the whole thought is expelled and turned into various emotions running through the neurons. Grace was familiar with this change. In the years when she had no money, she had to face this feeling every day. There is no other way to solve the problem than deliberateness and self-discipline. So at the dinner table, Grace relayed Wei Kun's performance, first, to ask Wang Mingshan to help her solve her doubts, and secondly, to divert the unhappy mood.

Wang Mingshan didn't know what else his baby was thinking in his mother's heart, so he explained to Grace seriously. "The economic policy of our country is like this, based on the principle of historical materialism, we respect the labor force. And you've seen the principle of the currency multiplier......"

Seeing Grace shaking her head in the negative, Wang Mingshan had to give Grace a brief literacy run. Money is by no means a simple process of A to B and B back to A. Marx also had a relatively clear account of this, and Weeser had a profound application on his side. From the perspective of the country's macroeconomic policy, the effect of the industrial chain is not simply a process of investing some money in a certain enterprise or research institution and then getting rewarded. It's a holistic process of uplifting the workforce.

Grace listened to Wang Mingshan's story, but she didn't have a special reaction. She herself is keen on the application level, and has little interest in such theoretical research. So the Marquis Grace actually doesn't know that in today's world, Wang Mingshan's understanding of currency multipliers can definitely rank in the top five.

By the time Wang Mingshan finished speaking, Grace had already finished her soup. Calmly wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, Grace said, "You are going to implement this great economic policy in that wild part of Africa? ”

Wang Mingshan picked up the spoon, "That's why we need a large number of immigrants to Africa." Counting on the local blacks, I think it will be at least thirty years from now. With that, he also began to drink the soup with a spoon.

Grace is a smart person, and what Wang Mingshan said is easy to understand from a practical level. It's easy to understand why the Chinese have always been reluctant to come to Africa. Not to mention China, which is thousands of miles away, Europeans who are close at hand are not happy to go to Africa. It can be said that, in addition to the Romans who established a series of cities in North Africa, the Europeans who went to Africa were basically adventurers, and they were very similar to the most vicious guys, and the slave traders are still one of the main Europeans who went to Africa. If China wants to run its economy in Africa, it must rely on reliable workers. Without high prices for Italian laborers, they probably wouldn't want to go to Africa.

Knowing this, the banker Grace considered her choice along these lines. Complicated economic theories and statecraft were never something Grace had figured out, and all she thought about was working with those powerful men, not dominating the system, but being a part of it.

After falling silent at the dinner table, Wang Mingshan put down the spoon and broke the silence. "Grace. In a few years' time, when Wei Kun takes over my job, I will probably go to work in Cyprus. I've been working in a bank since I arrived, and I might be able to take on a job there when I get to Cyprus. When the time comes, you should move to Cyprus as well. ”

Grace was eating dessert after dinner, and when she heard this, her hand holding the snack was raised in the air. Staring at Wang Mingshan, carefully savoring what Wang Mingshan said, tears welled up in the eyes of the Marquis Grace. A few years ago, Wang Mingshan was still on the other side of the world in China, and when the sun rose on Wang Mingshan's side, Grace's side entered the night. Now the two are in a very close time zone, while Grace is in the northern hemisphere and Wang Mingshan is in the southern hemisphere. Could it be that in a few years, the two will really be able to get together?

Wang Mingshan still couldn't understand Grace's excitement, in his thoughts, how to cultivate Wei Kun into a qualified East African administrative district secretary is not an easy task. Grace was only thinking about the matter of two or three people, and there were twenty-three hundred and twenty-two hundred people in Wang Mingshan's mind casually. East Africa is more concerned about the present and future of tens of millions of people. Faced with such a situation, Wang Mingshan didn't think of himself at all.

The minutes passed like this, and the dawn of the morning shone on the pier. Wang Mingshan and Wei Kun boarded the cruise ship in the harbor, and the two warships were already waiting in the open sea. When the whistle sounded, Wei Kun saw the Marquis Grace standing on the dock with the child in her arms, elegantly raising her arms and bidding farewell to Wang Mingshan.

"Hey! Secretary Wang ...... "Wei Kun couldn't help but speak.

"What's the matter?" Wang Mingshan replied.

Wei Kun was actually quite moved, so he couldn't help but speak under the emotional turmoil. In fact, he himself knew that he was not suitable to talk about the slightest private matter about Wang Mingshan. Seeing Wang Mingshan's response, Wei Kun thought for a moment and forcibly found a topic, "Will Italy really make us money?" ”

Wang Mingshan was also young, and of course he knew Wei Kun's impulsiveness. Regarding Wei Kun's wrong words, Wang Mingshan did not mean to puncture, "Europe is so big, Italy is just one of the countries." There are many countries where we can get labor, and even if we can't count on Europe, there are still Japanese people who can use it. ”

"But the Boers don't seem to need it." Wei Kun also returned to normal.

When it comes to the issue of East Africa, Wang Mingshan's tone is particularly relaxed, "After signing the treaty with the British, we can have a clear attitude towards the Boers. Although the Zulu people are vegetarians, their population is larger than that of the Boers. We now have no need for Boers, and they can probably be categorized as non-friends. ”

The Min Dynasty was a country with a clear distinction between friend and foe, and Wei Ze's passage of 'who is our friend and who is our enemy is the primary question of the revolution' was not only a household name in the Min Dynasty, but also a way of doing things that those who had some ability to enshrine. And "My Motherland" is sung all over the Great Wall in the north and south of the Great Wall, and the lyrics of the sentence "When a friend comes, there is good wine, if a jackal comes, only a shotgun awaits him" intuitively expresses everyone's attitude.

The Min Dynasty was a very, very powerful country, and it was a huge country with a vast territory. The Minchao itself alone is enough to constitute a world, to constitute a completed civilization. Such a country itself has a strong unilateralist sentiment, and the Boers are enemies or friends of the Minchao, and have nothing to do with the Boers, and only need the Minchao to make its own judgment. The Boers could fight for the verdict of the Minchao, but they could not decide the verdict of the Minchao.

"Do you think the Zulus can keep the Boers out of the Rand gold mines?" Wang Mingshan asked Wei Kun.

Wei Kun thought about this for a long time, and immediately gave the answer: "Then it depends on whether the Zulu people can form a new army, and more importantly, whether the Zulu people are willing to change their social model." If they are able to get into agricultural mode, it will be possible. ”

Wang Mingshan didn't think too much like Wei Kun, and after listening to Wei Kun's suggestion, Wang Mingshan said: "They have to change whether they want to or not." Their upper echelons remain the same, and we force these people to change! If the Rand gold mine is unstable, our southern Africa policy will not be completed! ”
