Chapter 31: Multimillionaires

ps: Thank you for the bookworm and the favorite glasses lady for another reward.

Dipping it in old vinegar, the fresh aroma of the dumplings in his mouth makes Joseph feel like he has returned to his previous life, to the homeland that is not rich or lively, but people are addicted to it.

The bustle on the street woke Joseph from his memories, and when he glanced at Joanna, he found that she did not pay attention to herself, but watched the bustle outside while eating with a small plate, and the little girl's heart was clear at this time.

At 10 o'clock in 8:00, a news from Nord TV quickly caused a commotion among the Chinese workers outside, not because of the disturbance but because of the excitement, and Joseph understood that it was his own gift at work.

The quota of 1,000 Nord principalities is also a lot of pressure for Joseph, after all, the welfare of the Nord principality is almost the highest in Europe, which is undoubtedly a test for the treasury's finances. Fortunately, the Audi A1 and the gene farm have made a lot of financial buffers, otherwise this gift will be sent to Joseph on the eve of bankruptcy.

Watching the Chinese workers downstairs rushing to deliver the news, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of Joseph's mouth, there is nothing more happy than being recognized by the beneficiary for doing something himself.

After dinner, Joseph took Joanna to visit the night market in the Chinese workers' living area, and then left by car, today was an unforgettable day for Joanna, and the liveliness of the Chinese workers' living area was unimaginable to her before.

On the first day of the lunar calendar in 1981, the House of Lords of the Principality of Nord issued a decree on the reform of the living park in the industrial zone, one of which was to relocate a large number of Chinese workers from the living park to Beicheng District, and some citizens of Beicheng District moved to the living park in the industrial zone.

There are not many opponents of this, after all, many workers are much closer to their workplaces, even though they have to live far away from the circle of life for a few months.

This is the first item of Joseph's great racial mixing, and then Joseph will completely break up the character of overseas Chinese who like to hold together, because this will not be conducive to Joseph's rule over the Nord Principality.

The Nord Royal Islands also migrated a group of Chinese laborers, of whom the Germans were mainly engaged in management work, while Chinese laborers and Eastern European immigrants were laborers. Non-discrimination is due to German education, and it is now estimated that the highest education among Chinese workers is only high school, and the proportion can be said to be very small. This is also normal, otherwise the Chinese workers would not be willing to leave the place where they grew up.

Due to the arrival of a large number of Chinese laborers, there were simply not enough schools in the Principality of Nord. Seven primary schools and three secondary schools are the primary education in what is now the Nord Principality. The lack of high schools and universities is not necessary now, and the Chinese workers who arrive are carrying young children who cannot be entrusted to the care of others, and there is no need to travel thousands of miles to take care of their own children.

It is only temporary for a thousand Chinese workers to become citizens of the Nord Principality, because of the policy, the children of these young and middle-aged Chinese workers will come over sooner or later, and it is impossible for Lao Tzu to be a citizen of the Nord Principality but his son is on the other side of the sea!

These schools are for these people, except for some people who will be expelled if their moral character is hindered, most of these children will remain, and the families of 1,000 Chinese workers will have at least seven or eight hundred children, and the few new primary and secondary schools may not be enough to meet the demand.

The successive immigration of scientific personnel, the early acquisition of citizenship by German contributions, and the application quota of 1,000 Chinese workers have added up to the 5,000 mark for Nord citizens.

The increase in personnel will naturally drive the market economy, a few initial shops in Beicheng District, after several events media, the advent of builders, plus the consumption of residents in Beicheng District, there are already four or five small billionaires with assets of more than 10,000 US dollars, and Joseph is happy to even personally meet these new nomad principality tycoons.

The effect of Joseph's meeting was obvious, a large number of shops were opened in the Duchy of Nord, and Joseph saw through the data of the Ministry of Commerce that 80% of them were Chinese.

The natural romantic character and fashion preference of the French people have led to a large number of French tycoons habitually visiting the Nord principality, which is also an important source of Nord's economic growth.

This situation is becoming more and more obvious with the construction of Nord Airport, the airport is built on the central side of the seafront, from the airport to the north of the city is only ten minutes by car, but unfortunately the subway has not yet been built, otherwise the time will be shortened again.

Shops, dining, serving, toys, and entertainment make the North town seem bustling, and the streets are filled with tourists from France, England, and even the United States.

At the beginning of March 1981, the Ministry of Commerce of the Principality of NORD announced that the GDP of NORD in February, from 3 million to 9 million last year, and the economic table for February was beyond everyone's expectations - 50 million US dollars.

Of course, this is mainly due to the revenue generated by the Audi A1 and oil wells, but the 8% of tourism is the first time Joseph has paid attention to the tourism industry, most notably in the development of the beach and the yacht club project.

With absolute confidence, the time has come for Joseph to visit abroad, which is also Joseph's first visit, the Kingdom of Morocco, which is located in West Africa and has some territorial disputes with Spain, but neither side can do without the other.

The first thing the treasury had money was for Joseph to buy a private airliner for himself, and the price of three million dollars made Joseph's stomach's stomach twitch, but he understood that this represented the national strength of a country, and he had to buy it even if he was distressed.

Fortunately, after two months, the area of Nord Royal Island has increased a little more, and the reserves of the oil fields are also slowly increasing, and the income from the daily clear oil well has increased to $200.000, a private airliner only, but the income of ten days, Joseph comforted himself.

In a small black suit, hand-polished sunglasses, and a signet ring representing the Ragnar family, Joseph sipped a glass of wine on a leather sofa and thought about what he would do when he left for Morocco. Joanna, the maid serving on the side, glanced at Joseph from time to time, stared at the red wine in his hand and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

After all, the royal family is royalty, and having money to improve one's life is something that must be done, even if Joseph is not the kind of person who is greedy for pleasure, like this private airliner, many things are in this position and cannot help himself.

Plato's wine, which has been stored for more than 20 years, the oil painting of a legendary figure in Europe, the blue and white porcelain from China that is said to have been auctioned off by a French nobleman, and a copper head in the shape of a dog......

Joseph was the first time to see Abner's ability to lose, and in just a few days, he got a large number of cultural relics and antiques from France, and the total amount of purchases reached 8 million US dollars.

Eight million dollars is not much in the United States, any multi-millionaire can take it, but in Europe just after the end of World War II, it is different, especially in the antiques industry, a large number of nobles lost their wealth in World War II, and their antiques cannot be sold at all. It's not that they can't be sold, but American businessmen are still very willing to buy them, and even if they sell these things to Americans, the price of these items will increase more than ten times.

But American businessmen have a natural flaw, they are not aristocrats, how can the aristocracy put themselves together with a group of businessmen, especially American businessmen? There is more than one person who thinks like this, so Abner was able to buy a large number of antiques and artifacts as the Ragnar family.

Joseph complained in his mouth, but in fact he didn't know how happy he was in his heart, because it was possible for these things to increase in value a hundred times after a few decades.

One thing to say is that now that the treasury of the Duchy of Nord has been separated from Joseph's private account, it can be said that Abner spends all the money of the Ragnar family and has little to do with the Duchy of Nord.

After several meetings, the Ragnar family took 30 percent of the Nord Royal Group's shares, and there was also a royal part of the tax, 1 percent of the personal income of the Nord citizens.

Eight million dollars come from this tax, although the Duchy of Nord has no tax now, but the royal tax is not exempt, and the royal tax is more than three million dollars in a few months, counting the dividends of the Nord Royal Group, Joseph can also be called a multimillionaire.

The separation of the treasury from the private account is just that, it depends on what Joseph does, the House of Lords, which has legislative power, is in Joseph's hands, and one day the treasury will become Joseph's private account again if there is not enough money, of course, Joseph will not do this unless it is an accident.
