Chapter 479: Brothers Mountaineering (10)
"Father, when the comrades learned of the new list, they were not too convinced. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Qi Rui asked bluntly when he was eating with his parents.
At this time, it was already mid-November, and when it was time to eat hot pot, the Yuanmingyuan compound, which was the core personnel concentrated in the residential area, provided planed beef and mutton. Rinse it in a copper hot pot and it will be cooked.
Qi Hongyi sandwiched meat for his son, Qi Rui talked to his father, and calmly sandwiched the dishes that had been sliced meat, hairy belly, yellow throat, and Sichuan noodles on the old lady's plate. If it was before, Qi Rui always felt that doing the right thing would get the right result. Now Qi Rui doesn't think about it like this, whether the old lady is happy or not is that is the old lady's business, Qi Rui is just trying to make everyone feel uncomfortable so far. Because from childhood to now, he is really not a person who has tried his best to learn to make others happy. It's really not his personality. Of course, this does not mean that Qi Rui has to deliberately make others unhappy, just let it be.
With such thoughts, Qi Rui felt that the world had finally become a lot easier. And he finally realized how easy it was to be with Daddy Wesser. Because Daddy Weser is so arrogant that it is difficult to offend him.
While eating hot pot, Wei Ze said slowly: "We don't want the old brother to interfere in the personnel arrangement. But now that the old brothers no longer interfere in personnel arrangements, it is not a problem to take care of their children a little. Moreover, this kind of care is by no means unprincipled, and if it is unprincipled, the comrades are most likely not unconvinced, but do not want to say anything more. ”
Qi Rui agrees with his father's evaluation, if the children of the old brothers are willing to stay in the army, the review of them will be relatively simple. Of course, this is not that there is no audit, nor that the audit is not up to the mark. It's just that from the point of view of careful selection, it is obvious that there is some water release on this group of people. Of course, the young comrades are not happy about this, and the outstanding talents who stand out from the ordinary people naturally do not like these comrades with backgrounds.
"If someone questions you about it, tell them that if the sons of the older brothers look down on everyone, it's their prejudice. But if everyone looks down on the children of the old brothers, it is also prejudice. After Wei Ze finished speaking, he got up and scooped the foam on the soup, scooped a bowl of soup for Qi Hongyi, and then added some bone broth to the pot.
"Sure enough, a bowl of water can't be leveled." Qi Rui couldn't help but sigh. He had heard a lot of truths, but Qi Rui often felt that many truths were not like that before, and now he realized that it was not the world that was wrong, but himself.
Wei Zeming knew that he was likely to talk too much, but he still didn't resist the urge to educate his son, and he said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I think everyone has such a process. In modern society, it doesn't matter whether you have seen it or not, whether you have a concept or not, whether you have reached the stage where you are not angry, you are not angry, you are not angry. Let's talk about it first. So it's normal for you to misunderstand. However, as you grow, there is still a great opportunity to reframe what you have learned. Of course, the premise is that I went to learn it at the time and had an impression. ”
"At the end of the day, you didn't teach it well!" Qi Hongyi couldn't help but criticize Wei Zelai. Although she couldn't understand why her son hadn't been able to suddenly open up for so many years, Qi Hongyi could still tell the difference after her son suddenly became clear. So most of these words are joy.
"That's right, Qi Rui. I'll introduce you to a girl in a few days......" Qi Hongyi instinctively wanted to make a decision about his son's marriage.
"Don't. I've been busy lately. Qi Rui was extremely decisive and interrupted the old lady's attempt first.
"You're going to be thirty years old, what do you look like if you're not married!" Qi Hongyi was very unhappy.
"Mother, I didn't even think about getting married. Let's wait until I get the job at hand done. Even though Qi Rui felt that his heart was much stronger, he couldn't help but feel very uneasy in his heart when he told his wife his views on marriage so directly.
Seeing that his son was about to admit his intentions, Wei Ze couldn't help but come out to play a round. "You hurry back to work now, and if there are any problems, study and prepare first. The three meetings are about to be held, and once they are held, I will not have time to talk about your work. ”
"Yes." Qi Rui was relieved, stood up and ran away. Even as an invincible Liberation Army, leaving if you can't fight is one of the most basic criteria.
"You know you're used to him." Qi Hongyi couldn't talk about his son, so he immediately turned to Wei Ze.
"Generally speaking, doesn't it say that being a mother loves her son, why has it become my habit of being a father?" Weser laughed. After laughing, he took out the boiled fully cooked fatty beef slices from the hot pot and ate them as if nothing had happened.
"If he wants to get married, he won't get married. Where is such customary law? Qi Hong said angrily.
"You're also a girl with a daughter. Let me ask you a question, if there is a boy like Wei Rui, will you marry your daughter to him? Wei Ze asked with a grin.
These words choked Qi Hongyi. After thinking for a while, Qi Hongyi replied depressedly: "How can our girls be compared to other girls?" ”
Wei Ze saw that he had the upper hand, and replied calmly: "We feel sorry for our daughter, and we feel that our daughter's happiness is the most important." If you change to another family, people won't feel sorry for their daughter? The kind of person who values his own benefits more than the happiness of his daughter, do you dare to be their daughter? ”
Qi Hongyi was choked by these words, and she replied purely reboundingly: "Wei Rui will be thirty soon, thirty years old!" I'm almost thirty-two years old. If you don't get married at this age, who will marry him in the future. ”
"Cut! I don't know! Wei Ze replied with some sarcasm: "I have confidence in our son. He's only thirty-two, just take his own problems and solve them. With his looks, his height, and the height he can reach, at the age of fifty-two, he still marries a twenty-year-old girl like a flower. ”
Wei Ze's sudden outburst of attitude made Qi Hongyi speechless, not that she doubted her son Wei Rui, but that Wei Ze's rare exposure of the rogue propertied breath frightened Qi Hongyi. Although Wei Ze is arrogant, he rarely shows it so nakedly. Qi Hongyi suddenly figured out one thing, what she wanted to see was the son she was looking forward to, but Wei Ze only hoped that her son could be emancipated by himself. The mother hurts the child, and that hurts outside. The father loves his son, and it hurts in his heart.
Qi Rui didn't know what his parents were thinking, so he continued to work hard. As a political commissar, he also had to take on ideological work in the committee. Fortunately, the committee is full of carefully selected reasonable people, and many problems can be solved smoothly when they are put on the surface.
By January 1892, a vote of comrades from the Navy had joined the committee. Unlike the Army, the Navy found itself entering a period of expansion. When the Minchao began to enter the North Atlantic, the navy had to be nearly doubled. Comrades from the navy joined, and the committee also joined in the discussion on when the Democratic Republic of China would settle Angola.
If you take Angola, you will realize the trans-African railway, and if you take Angola, you will get a good port in the South Atlantic. As for the Portuguese in Angola, no one in the Liberation Army took it seriously. Not to mention the fact that Portugal controlled only a handful of coastal strongholds in Angola. Is it a matter of beating up a young British henchman? If the British really dare to act because of this, taking the whole of southern Africa can completely solve the problem of the people's access to the South Atlantic.
"Do you think anyone would want to go to East Africa?" One of the young comrades asked such a question. The others looked at each other, and everyone felt that this question was unreliable just by listening. With the current territory of the Republic of China, who will go to that hellish place in Africa when they are full. In this regard, Qi Rui admires his brother Wei Kun very much. Such a pioneering spirit is really not admirable.
"We don't know when the war between China and the United States will end. But from the current point of view, it is probably time to end. What else can the United States do in Cuba? Is it anti-Gong Continent? Wei Kun sat in the hotel in Khartoum and had a good conversation with the royal families and nobles of Austria-Hungary, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and other countries who came to visit.
The war between China and the United States is not over in theory, but no one in Europe thinks that the United States has a chance to turn the tables. The war caused a violent upheaval in the stock market, and all those who held American stocks, whether banks, consortia, or corporations, suffered great losses. Many people hang their own southeast branches, many people go to the deep pool with stones, and many people jump off the tall buildings with their faith. The dead are gone, and the living have to go on. When the Minchao went to Europe step by step, Europe had to go to the Minchao. The East African Administrative Region, which is an outpost, and the Cyprus Special Administrative Region, which is under construction, have welcomed many foreign dignitaries.
"Your Royal Highness, can you be sure when the North American part of the Min Dynasty will be able to sell grain to Europe?" The Danish princess wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked elegant, generous and capable.
"In the short term, we will need to resume production and meet our own needs in North America. I think you guys should think more about the alfalfa that we offer. This time, I invited you to set up a futures company, hoping that countries interested in importing Sudanese alfalfa will send personnel to form an audit team for the shipping department. The issue of shipments is a big deal, and if you can't trust the quality and quantity of Sudanese alfalfa, it's easy to lose confidence in us. Wei Kun told all the visitors about his expectations.
Alfalfa in Sudan is really cheap, so cheap that even with shipping costs, it is less than half that of local alfalfa in Europe. For the Nordic countries, the price of Sudanese alfalfa is less than one-third of that of their own alfalfa. There is no comparison between the price of alfalfa in areas where alfalfa can only be harvested twice a year and those that can be harvested 10-12 times a year.
But after these nobles knew the truth, they were a little hesitant, and the plan proposed by Wei Kun really made them unaccustomed to it. They still couldn't fully accept Wei Kun's suggestion except to test and test again.
At night, Wei Kun arrived at the door of the Danish princess's bedroom, the door opened, and Wei Kun walked in calmly. The beauty of the house wore only a fluffy pajama. Weeser looked around, then picked up the gold-rimmed glasses from the bedside table and brought them to the Danish princess, before throwing her into the big bed.
After finishing the matter, the princess pillowed her head on Wei Kun's shoulder and asked lazily, "Do you like glasses very much?" ”
"I love the way you look with your glasses." Wei Kun replied lazily.
Her Royal Highness raised her head, glanced at Wei Kun, and then dropped her head again, smashing it on Wei Kun's shoulder. She had a mix of 'whatever you like' and 'men are stupid' expressions on her face, but she didn't say anything more.
"I hope that tomorrow you will take the lead in agreeing to the issue of setting up a mechanism for alfalfa futures." Wei Kun hugged the princess sister paper with a wonderful figure in his arms and said in a flat tone.
"Why do you want to have a mechanism like that?" Her Royal Highness the Princess of Denmark was puzzled. There are many reasons why she is here, but talking about business is the last thing she needs to undertake.
Wei Kun pulled a few pillows behind him, half-sat up and explained, "It's better to cut off people's money than to kill your parents." If we were to do business with your local alfalfa and forage producers, they would probably rebel. A few years ago, we used to sell alfalfa in Romania, and as a result, the local Romanian gang set fire to our alfalfa, which caused a big deal in Constanta. Of course, there is no law in that part of Eastern Europe. But you people in Northern Europe will not watch their jobs being broken. If you look at Germany, there has not been a ban on the import of agricultural products from Eastern Europe. ”
The princess had been listless in reading some of the contents of the negotiations before this trip, and it was too much to come here without knowing anything. So she propped up her body, smiled and corrected Wei Kun and said: "Germany has lifted the ban last year, American grain can't go to Europe, and Germany's grain production can't bear it." ”
"If that's the case, it's all the more important for you to participate in this mechanism, which is an index that tells the entire system of investors. The price of alfalfa in each country, the demand for alfalfa. and a number of composite indices, including meat production in various countries. Just buying and selling alfalfa can easily lead to a crisis, and when a crisis occurs, a large number of people will go bankrupt. At that time, there were many complaints, can you bear it? At least one reason that can be explained can help you solve the problem. Wei Kun strongly encouraged the Danish princess to accept his suggestion.
The Danish princess snorted and laughed: "Listen to your meaning, you seem to have the happiness of the Danish people in your heart." ”
Wei Kun shook his head, "I just don't want our trade to become a scapegoat used by other countries to divert conflicts. In this era of increasing chaos and economic fragility, anything that can hold up can easily become a scapegoat. Why are you standing and I'm going to roll in the mud? It's not fair. That's the real reason for a lot of things, but it's also a reason that will never be spoken. ”
The princess's view of human nature was meant to impress the princess, and she was silent for a while before she said, "Can you be okay with this way?" ”
"After using this, it's not that we're selling, it's someone buying. This is not the same as buying and selling short, but the result of judging the price of meat production in European countries and the time of supply of meat. You haven't raised an animal, so you don't know, an animal is not a magic bean, throw it into the soil and water it, and it can grow to the sky overnight......" Wei Kun felt that it was too difficult to talk about the basics, so he couldn't help but mock.
"I've had ponies since I was a kid. I know horses don't grow up in a day. Her Royal Highness countered Wei Kun's claims.
"The feeding cycle of the livestock, the feed they eat, and other things. As long as these controls are in place, it is possible to predict how many animals will be slaughtered each round. Alfalfa itself is a foundation, and the grass grown and processed by your local people can actually be controlled. At this point, other problems can be fully solved. Mass production, low price, more and more mature technology. This is the concept of management. If you do it well, we can do it better. It's good for everyone. Wei Kun finally explained with such a win-win situation.
Just when Wei Kun thought that his persuasion was probably useless, Her Royal Highness the Princess asked a question, "Your suggestion seems to be similar to China's agricultural cooperatives." ”
Such a sharp statement startled Wei Kun, who thought that simply proposing the term 'agricultural cooperative of the Republic of China' would probably make Her Royal Highness the princess scratch her head. Now look, Wei Kun is the guy who didn't see the problem clearly.
"Huh!" Her Royal Highness looked at Wei Kun and smiled. It wasn't until Qi Rui's surprised expression disappeared from her face that the princess continued: "We already have such a proposal in the Danish Parliament, our country is not big, and it is basically the same weather and the same temperature every day. So the agriculture department wants to learn from China and make all agricultural crops adopt the same production model. I think that's acceptable to you. But we need to bring in the cultivation technology from you. ”
"That's not a problem." Wei Kun replied very decisively.
"Aren't you afraid that our agricultural products will compete with you when they become stronger?" The princess snorted in a tone of incomprehension.
Wei Kun Zhengse replied: "If you do a good job, we can sell you more alfalfa." Sell meat all the way to Denmark, you can't make money. So we don't have any competition between us at all, it's a very simple partnership. ”
With internal response, Wei Kun took the initiative in the next day's meeting. Each country has established a vertically integrated industrial system domestically and adopted horizontal cooperative relations internationally. Wei Kun's proposed industrial cooperation plan puzzled most of the nobles. The accompanying officials were dumbfounded.
If the Minchao was a weak country, such a crazy suggestion would probably only end up laughing. However, with the current national strength and national strength of the Republic of China, Wei Kun's remarks had a very strong impact on the European countries that came to visit. The Danish representative's agreement made the group even more suspicious of whether it would be inappropriate not to join.
