Chapter 715: Rebooting the Metaverse
Throughout December, the stock prices of Coke Bakery and Xinke Seaweed rose gratifyingly, more than doubling their gains, and by the end of the month, Xu Dong had been crowned the richest man in Daxia in one fell swoop.
The replacement of the richest man made Xu Dong famous.
But then it was overshadowed by an international news.
After more than a year of tug-of-war, the Europa coalition finally achieved a phased victory, and Justel was forced to withdraw from the capital and retreat to Baghdad.
In order to contain the offensive of the Europa coalition forces.
Justel did not hesitate to issue a nuclear threat.
For a moment, the situation suddenly became tense.
Fortunately, it was the middle of winter at this time, and it was estimated that the logistics were insufficient, and the Olympian coalition did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the two sides sat down at the negotiating table again, and finally reached a three-month armistice.
……
In the blink of an eye, the new year has arrived.
On January 2, 2034 in the Great Xia calendar, after a whole year of "retreat and cultivation", the "Metaverse" will finally reappear.
As a major shareholder, Xu Dong naturally received an invitation to the press conference.
The kids were very excited.
After playing the "metaverse", playing other games is almost the same as chewing wax.
"Dad, do you want to go to Qiongzhou?"
Xiaobao asked.
The venue of this conference is the headquarters of the new company: Coconut City, the capital of Qiongzhou.
"Of course I want to go, my father has invested a lot of money in this, how can I rest assured if I don't take a look."
Xu Dong nodded.
"Can you take me with you?"
Xiaobao's face was full of pleading.
Yang Lina immediately objected: "What are you going to do, don't forget, you still have to go to school?" ”
"Mom, I can take half a month off, anyway, I have already studied on my own in high school courses, and I am guaranteed to get the first place in the final exam."
Yang Lina didn't know whether to agree or not.
After all, Xiaobao is different from ordinary children, the traditional education methods are a bit out of place, she can only hand over the decision-making power to her husband, who is more knowledgeable than herself.
"Ahem!" Xu Dong coughed: "It's okay to take him to see the world, I'll go to school tomorrow to help him ask for leave." ”
Xiaobao has a strong learning ability, and it is beneficial to take him to get in touch with advanced technology, maybe the old Xu family can also produce a "Masco".
"Thank you Dad, thank you Mom!"
Xiaobao was so happy that she almost jumped up.
Dabao and Erbao on the side only have envy, the two of them are quite self-aware, even if the brothers speak, their parents will not agree.
As for the Coco sisters, the university teaching is strict, so it is even more impossible to take a leave of absence casually.
And so, the matter was settled.
Eight days later, the Lina arrived in Coconut City.
It was the first time for the father and son to set foot on this land, and unlike what they imagined, Qiongzhou not only did not have a dilapidated atmosphere, but seemed a little too prosperous.
Especially in the capital Coconut City, the whole city is full of high-rise buildings and brilliant lights, both in terms of population and city size, it is not inferior to Sydney.
It seems that the previous flood did not leave any trace here.
After checking into the hotel, Xu Dong plans to take his youngest son out for a walk, which is good for superyachts, so that he can get enough rest during the trip.
"Dong Xu, do you need to drive?"
Zhou Yinsheng asked.
Xu Dong waved his hand: "No need, just walk around casually." ”
"There's a pedestrian street two hundred meters in front of us, why don't you go there?"
Zhou Yinsheng proposed.
Long before he went ashore, he figured out the neighborhood of the hotel where he was staying.
"Okay, let's go there!"
In less than ten minutes, the group walked to the entrance of the pedestrian street.
There was a barbecue restaurant at the entrance, the area was not large, but the door was crowded with customers queuing, Xu Dong smelled the smell of meat coming from inside, and immediately stopped.
It's not that he's hungry for meat.
But this shop evoked his memories, speaking of which, he hadn't eaten roast rat meat for more than ten years, but he didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet it today.
"Lao Zhou, Xiao Chen, I have a treat today, you two are blessed."
Xiaobao looked at the signboard on the store and said:
"Dad, you're not going to eat mice, are you?"
Since he was a child, although he has never seen a mouse a few times, humans have a natural aversion to rats, and they have to hide when they see mice.
Xu Dongha laughed and said, "Son, what's so scary about mice, Dad promises that you eat it for the first time and want to do it for the second time." ”
Xiaobao looked curious.
Where there is a queue, there must be scalpers, and it cost a hundred yuan, and a group of four people quickly lined up for seats, and because the store is small, all the customers are seated at the same table.
Xu Dong ordered twenty roasted mice in one go.
An uncle on the opposite side hurriedly reminded: "I said this brother, you have to read the menu clearly, a roasted mouse is a thousand yuan, you don't have to look at a zero." ”
"20,000 yuan is 20,000 yuan, it's rare to come to Coconut City, I want to eat enough."
Xu Dong explained with a smile.
"My surname is Jin, my brother's surname? Where are the people? ”
"Your surname is Xu, we came from Sydney, and we just got off the boat today."
Lao Jin immediately praised: "It turned out to be Sydney, you have endless coal over there, it is really a treasure land, much stronger than our Coconut City." ”
"You're not bad here!"
Xu Dong echoed.
"It can't be compared, our side is such a big fart in total, and if you want resources or no resources, it completely takes up the light of the policy."
Lao Jin said modestly.
"Oh? What policy? Xu Dong said curiously,
"Brother Xu, haven't you heard?"
Xu Dong shook his head: "No, don't hide it from my brother, it's the first time we've come to Qiongzhou." ”
"It's no wonder, in fact, this rumor is only spread inside our Qiongzhou, and not many people outside know about it."
"Brother Jin, hurry up and talk about it?"
Xu Dong urged.
"Here's the thing, in recent years, the above has been trying to build our Qiongzhou into a space center, a science and technology center and a cultural center.
I'm not just talking about it, you can find the relevant documents on the official website, and new policies are introduced every month, as if you don't need money. ”
Lao Jin took a bite of rat meat and said mysteriously:
"Now everyone is speculating that the above may have intended to move the capital to our side, otherwise it would not have given so many policies, and hundreds of research institutes and several famous universities have been moved."
"Move the capital?"
Xu Dong was seriously skeptical.
With a population of hundreds of millions, moving the capital is not an easy task.
Xiaobao took the opportunity to interject: "Uncle Jin, the location of Qiongzhou is too far south, how can it be the capital of a country?" ”
"Brother, this is your son, right?"
"Our youngest son, nicknamed Xiaobao, has just entered his second year of high school this year."
Xu Dong introduced.
Lao Jin said with interest: "Xiaobao, uncle tested you, what do you say is the relationship between Daxia and Yahu?" ”
