It has been more than half a year since the Travelers came to this world, and in this half year, everyone has created everything that Manchester City is now with their own hands, whether it is a glass factory or a smelter, and even every corner of Manchester City has swayed the sweat of the Travelers.

In order to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, the Executive Committee decided to take a three-day holiday to allow everyone to relax and prepare for the work of the coming year.

For the traversers, in fact, the holiday is usually a few good relationships to sit together, drink and chat, and talk about their own views on the future development of Australia.

Although it has been half a year since the development began, the construction of entertainment facilities in the Manchester City base is almost zero, and all policies are tilted towards key construction projects.

Now when the holiday is really resting, everyone feels that something seems wrong, according to the previous time and space holiday is to travel, or shopping carnival, but these are almost impossible now, although the private economic system has long been **, but the entire Manchester City has no other private shops or factories except for a canteen.

"I heard that the situation at the Manchester City base may change after the year, and I heard that Li Huan's girls are going to take out a loan from the Manchester City Bank to build a supermarket, have you heard of this?"

Xiao Baitu sat in Zhao Shijie's dormitory drinking tea and chatted about what he heard, since he was elected by Zhao Shijie as the executive officer of Christmas Island, the relationship between the two has become closer.

"Where did you hear that?"

"It's all spread all over, Brother Zhao, haven't you heard that it is said that there will be big changes in the entire Manchester City base after the New Year's Day holiday, especially the private economy, I heard that Zhou Zisheng, a glass factory under the Ministry of Industry, is also ready to join Lin Youde, You Nanzhe and others to borrow money from Manchester Bank and contract the glass factory."

Looking at Xiao Baitu with a serious face, it was obvious that this matter should not be made up by him, it should be true.

"Brother Zhao, if it's really a big reform, let's see if we should too..."

"Xiao Xiao, you are about to take office after the year, don't think about other things, build the Christmas Island transit station well, and give you a word, do you think large-scale private reform is possible at this stage?"

"Well, I've thought about it carefully, the possibility is very low, the resistance is still quite big, now our scale is still too small, when these factories and mines were established, the general meeting stipulated that this is the common property of 543 people, with the current scale, if it is changed to a few people to contract, it will mean that most of the income goes into private purses, obviously many people will not agree."

"Yes, but if it doesn't change, those people who master the technology will feel unfair, so there will definitely be small-scale reforms, but as you said, the glass factory is contracted to a few people, this is not fundamental, now this is one of the main economic sources of the executive committee's foreign trade, once in the hands of private individuals, the authority of the executive committee will definitely be threatened, the best way is that the public ownership occupies the majority, and the private ownership occupies the small head, which is the best way to solve the current internal contradictions."

Xiao Baitu nodded: "Well, yes, this can not only block the mouths of those who master technology, but also block the mouths of those who rely on public ownership to eat and dividends." ”

"Let's go, let's go out for a walk, I have seen your development plan for Christmas Island, you are going to make Christmas Island a trading place for Australian goods, this is still good in the early stage, it is good for the Dutch and Spaniards, and it is also good for us, they will move what we want to and then ship our goods to all over the world. Similarly, we are shortening the distance of moving Australian-made goods out. ”

"The idea is good, there is another thing I want you to co-invest in Let's open a hotel on the island that integrates entertainment and entertainment, there is a casino and **, you think about it, those crew members have been adrift at sea for so many days and must enjoy it, let's open this quasi-money."

"Ha, no wonder you told those people about the contract, it turns out that you are also under the guise of doctrine." Zhao Shijie smiled, "Join forces with me, you must know that I don't have much time to take care of business there." ”

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, it's enough to have me, you just wait for the money, but you may need your help to get a loan from Manchester City Bank."

Xiao Baitu is also a person-like character, the so-called pie in the sky is not white, he invited Zhao Shijie to join the stock is to fancy his status as a member of the executive committee, plus the rumors of him and Manchester City Bank President Hu Xijing, from which all kinds of signs show that the relationship between the two is not ordinary, and even in love, no matter whether the relationship between the two is the same, but if there is Zhao Shijie as a guarantor for the loan, it will become easy.

"Lao Zhao, Xiao Xiao, you two are also listening to Huangmei Opera in the square." The two who had just walked out of the dormitory happened to run into An Lan.

"Huangmei Opera, can anyone in us sing that?" Zhao Shijie asked with some confusion.

"I heard that there are two immigrants in the Ming Dynasty who can sing, isn't this a holiday holiday, everyone has no entertainment projects, and there is a square party under the organization of Li Ting, and now there are many people who have passed, I heard that Zhou Lao, Huang Lao, are all there."

After listening to An Lan's explanation, Zhao Shijie realized why the dormitory was so quiet today, and it turned out that he went to the square to see the excitement.

The three of them came to the square together, and sure enough, they saw that the center was already full of heads, and at this time, it could be heard from the singing that it was a young man singing through the crowd.

"Honey, fly slowly."

"Watch out for thorny roses in front."

"Honey, open your mouth."

"The scent of flowers in the wind will intoxicate you."

For such a modern love song, many Ming Dynasty immigrants heard it for the first time, which is very fresh, and compared with the love song of this era, this love song is more explicit. If there is an old master here at this time, he will definitely shout, and he will write such explicit lyrics and put the holy words and holy virtues of the saints wherever they are.

"Old Zhou, Old Huang, you are also here," Looking at Zhou Aiguo and several other old people in the crowd, Zhao Shijie and Xiao Baitu took the initiative to go up to greet them.

"Well, Xiao Zhao is also here, do you feel if you see this?"

"Feelings, there are still some, we are too lacking in cultural and entertainment projects, every day in addition to eating is to work, at night is to sleep, there is no entertainment projects, entertainment culture construction is actually quite important, from the faces of those Ming Dynasty immigrants we can see that we can better input our culture into their brains through some entertainment."

"That's right, we have to focus on this matter, we used to patronize and bury our heads in development, ignoring this, but with more and more immigrants, we must spread our cultural knowledge to them, to influence them, otherwise we will be influenced by their ideas." Zhou Aiguo affirmed this.
