Chapter 623: Christmas Dinner

The sun sets and night falls.

The lights in the manor are lit up, full of festive atmosphere, the servants are busy in a nervous and orderly manner, and the dinner party must not make a mistake, otherwise it will disgrace the host's family.

Hearing the doorman's announcement, Xu Dong immediately took his wife to the gate to greet the guests.

"Mike, Lily, Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas, we're not late, are we?"

"No, you're the first to arrive."

"Haha, it's good that I'm not late, I brought a bottle of 02-year-old Lafite, let's taste it together later."

"Wife, we're blessed tonight."

Xu Dong said with a smile.

After some pleasantries, Mr. and Mrs. Mike walked into the villa with their son, the two originally had a daughter, but they got married last year, married to a small section chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In less than half an hour, the guests arrived one after another, in addition to the group of people around Mike, Xu Dong also invited Yang Shuo's father.

After receiving the invitation, Yang's father and his family of three flew over from Bosi.

At seven o'clock, the Christmas dinner officially began.

Before the meal, Coco took her younger siblings and sang a Christmas song on the spot, which won the applause of the audience.

At the end of the performance, Xu Dong stood up:

"Today is Christmas, I wish you a Merry Christmas first, our family is also the first time to have such a formal Christmas, there are places where the hospitality is not good, please forgive me."

"Lao Xu, you're polite."

"Yes, you have a lot of family, I think there is more festive atmosphere here, and there are so many delicacies, which is already very rare."

Mr. Mack chimed in.

Xu Dong smiled and picked up his wine glass:

"Come on, let's have a drink first."

"Cheers!"

β€œcheers!”

Yang Lina hurriedly greeted: "The roast goose that has just come out of the oven, everyone eats it while it's hot." ”

The Christmas dinner prepared by Lao Xu's family is very rich, not only the traditional Western roast goose, salmon, barbecue meat and vegetable salad, but also some summer meals.

For example, braised pork and braised pork ribs, etc.

In short, it is mainly meat-based.

……

After being full of wine and food, Xu Dong led everyone to the small garden next to him, where everyone chatted while drinking black tea to eliminate food.

The women sat at a table and chatted about family trivialities.

Men at one table.

It's just that the atmosphere is a little dignified.

Recently, the major countries of Europa have been moving frequently, and there is a trend of mountains and rains coming, and everyone here is a family and a family, and no one likes war.

In particular, a nuclear war that loses everything.

Mr. Mack tried to ask his friend, "George, you are well-connected with the British, have you found any inside information?" ”

"You can rest assured, without the acquiescence of the beautiful country, the British will not dare to use force without authorization, they are just putting pressure and wanting to fight for more oil shares."

Mr. George looked confident.

"How so?"

"The reason is simple, the second, third, fifth and seventh fleets of the beautiful country are stationed in the waters around Justel and the Gulf, respectively.

Europa's navy is simply vulnerable, if they don't settle the beautiful country, they can't even cross the Tuji Strait, what can they use to start a war? ”

Mr. George explained.

Xu Dong nodded, feeling that what the other party said was very reasonable, modern warfare is fought with air supremacy and sea supremacy, without these two, no matter how strong the army is, it is useless.

Another Mr. Matthew then added:

"George's analysis is correct, I guess that the British and French should be bluffing, and the British Emperor is still at home, and the war should not be fought."

"It's best if you can't fight, there are no winners in the war."

Father Yang sighed lightly.

Xu Dong didn't want to talk about these anymore, they were just ordinary people, and it was useless to think too much.

"Mike, I want to build a few glass houses in the yard, do you know anyone here?"

Without waiting for Mr. Mike to answer, Father Yang took the initiative to take over: "Lao Xu, build a house and find me, our company specializes in this." ”

"Do you have a presence in Sydney as well?"

Xu Dong wondered.

"You can go by sea, the steel frame structure is installed very quickly, how much area do you want?"

"Let's have ten acres!"

"Just ten acres? I see that your yard is quite big, why don't you get more? ”

Father Yang suggested.

Xu Dong waved his hand: "It's useless if it's too much, it can't be managed, and the water consumption is too great." ”

He didn't want to turn his home into a factory.

"Alright then, when are you going to do it?"

"Of course, the sooner the better, can it be completed before the Chinese New Year?"

"No problem, I'll place an order for you when I get back."

Father Yang nodded.

Xu Dong replaced the wine with tea: "Thank you." ”

"It's a small thing."

"By the way, didn't your company say that it was going to build a branch factory in Sydney? How's it going? ”

"The site has been chosen, and construction will start in the next year."

"So fast?"

"It's not fast, the stock price of your bread factory is simply scary, and the company's leaders also want to follow it."

Xu Dong was stunned and said, "Don't you have a problem left over from history?" Can it be listed? ”

Others are also looking sideways.

After all, the stock market is the hottest topic at the moment.

"The above has made up its mind, as soon as the end of next year, the Shanghai and Beijing exchanges and Pengcheng exchanges must be restored, and our company has gone through the declaration process."

"How to solve the remaining problems?"

Xu Dong asked.

"The specific plan has not yet been decided, and I just heard some rumors here."

Father Yang paused for a moment and continued:

"The above plans to separate all historical stocks from the original listed companies and set up a separate trust fund, which will be backed by the state.

As for the specific creditor's rights relationship, when the time comes, we will slowly sort it out, and this process is destined to be unfast, and it may not be completed in ten years. ”

After all, there are two or three billion retail investors in the country.

The complexity of this is more troublesome than that of triangular debt.

Mr. Mike gave a thumbs up: "This method is very good, it seems to have been used many times before, if I remember correctly, is it called shelving disputes and co-developing?" ”

"Bang bang... Mike, you've got it right. ”

Xu Dong applauded.

"Lao Xu, when will Xinke seaweed be on the market? No matter how late it is, the cake will be divided. ”

Mr. Mike reminded.

"It's already in the queue, this time it's a science and technology innovation board, the review is stricter, if you hurry up, you can officially list it after the year."

Xu Dong nodded solemnly.

George on the side looked at each other, and the big cake was placed in front of them, and there was no one who was not moved.

In the end, it was Mike who stepped in to help and asked:

"Lao Xu, is Xinke Seaweed still short of funds? George: They have saved some money over the years, and they are now lacking investment channels. ”

"As long as it is a normal investment, I welcome it, but you have to think clearly, the original shares generally have a limited sale period, and there are many changes in between."

Xu Dong couldn't help but remind.

The people in front of them are different from the Nisan people, they are all small businessmen who are half-monks, and they don't have much capital themselves, so it's not easy to make some money.
