Mayor Li treats guests on behalf of the city, and the food level is naturally not bad. Although there are no meat dishes, the vegetarian dishes are not inferior to meat dishes at all.
Everyone filled their stomachs a little, and then the topic began.
Deputy Mayor Chen first spoke: "Dr. Xu, we have all seen your big move in Feizhou. You can't favor one and forget our Sydney?"
"Deputy Mayor Chen, you are joking. Although I don't invest much in Sydney, I have big projects in Brisbane and Tasmania, and these are all invested in real money."
"This is a bad statement. Your company has invested more than 200 billion yuan in Philippines. Even if all the investments in Kangaroo Country are added up, it is estimated that it is less than one tenth."
Xu Dong argued reasonably: "Deputy Mayor Chen, you can't say that. I personally invested less than 10 billion yuan in Philippines. The rest are local funds, which has nothing to do with us."
"If you didn't take the lead, they wouldn't have had such a big plan. Our Kangaroo Country and Philippines can be said to be the most direct competitive relationship. If you do this, we will be very passive and may be suspected of being a enemy."
“I just invested normally.”
Xu Dong spread his hands.
Mayor Li quickly came out to smooth things over: "Old Chen, you are so serious. Whether it is Kangaroo Country or Feizhou, you are all your own family. How can you say you are a capital enemy?"
"Mayor Li said it, it was because I missed the tongue. I punished myself with tea instead of wine."
Deputy Mayor Chen picked up the tea and took a sip.
Xu Dong understood it clearly. It turns out that these two people sang together, one was a white face and the other was a red face. I'm afraid it would be difficult to get out today!
Mayor Li nodded with satisfaction, and then changed his subject: "Dr. Xu, although Old Chen speaks badly, his words are rough and not rough. With your integration of Philippines, the economy will definitely make great strides. Our Kangaroo Country will be under great pressure."
"Mayor Li, isn't it? Feizhou is poor and deserted, and we have developed nearly ten years earlier than them. Are we still afraid of competition?"
"We have the advantage now, but who can say it correctly in the future? After all, the area of the Philippines is more than three times that of ours, and it is close to Europa and the Middle East oil depot. To be honest, I feel a little guilty!"
Mayor Li explained patiently.
"Mayor Li, if you have something to do, you can just give me instructions. If you can do it, I, Lao Xu, will definitely be fine."
Xu Dong curled his lips secretly.
Mayor Li is fooling around!
The other party's term of office was at most five or six years. When the Philippines developed, he would have been transferred by himself.
"Haha..." Mayor Li laughed: "I knew that Director Xu was a happy person. To be honest, Feizhou's potential is there, and we can't stop it just by trying to stop it."
"Mayor Lee, what do you mean?"
"Since you can't stop it, you can only put the other party in a cage, and it's best to turn it into your own use. Wouldn't it be a killing two birds with one stone?"
Xu Dong understood a little, but he didn't understand it completely. He waited for Mayor Li's explanation.
Mayor Li winked at the secretary beside him, and the other party immediately took out a document and handed it to Xu Dong.
Xu Dong took it and opened it casually.
This is an investment plan. The city means integrating the business forces of the entire Kangaroo Kingdom and then conducting large-scale investments in the Philippines in a planned manner.
The ultimate goal is to turn the Philippines into the raw material production place and commodity dumping market in Kangaroo country, which is equivalent to a disguised "economic colonization".
Xu Dong was suddenly panicked. Why did he smell conspiracy theories? He had small arms and legs, but he didn't want to get involved in the struggles of the upper class.
"Mayor Li, do you know about this?"
"Don't worry, that's what the above means."
Mayor Li quickly comforted him.
"Why don't the above do it yourself? Although the Philippines has a population of more than 20 million, its industry is extremely weak and has no power to fight back at all."
Xu Dong expressed his confusion.
Mayor Li smiled slightly: "How do you know that the superiors didn't take action? Let me tell you this. The purpose of the superiors is actually very simple. It is to prepare to balance and not let one party dominate. People's hearts are the most untestable."
"Balance?" Xu Dong thought.
"This is a open and open plot. You, Dong Xu, and everyone here, don't have to have a psychological burden, just let it go."
Maske immediately interrupted, "Mayor Li, I want to ask a question, where will the Asia-Municipal Center be in the future? Or, in other words, how are the three places located in China, Kangaroo Country and Philippines?"
"Of course the center is in China, which is the foundation of the country. As for the specific positioning, it is a very complex issue and cannot be explained in just one sentence or two sentences."
Mayor Li paused for a moment and continued:
"I'll give an example. The country is the spire of the pyramid, the Kangaroo Kingdom is the middle position, and the Philippines is the base. Only by being united from top to bottom can we accumulate enough strength and break the shackles above our heads in one fell swoop."
"Is that shackle controlled nuclear fusion?"
Maske sighed.
"Yes, Blue Star's ecosystem has been destroyed, and it is unknown whether it can be repaired. It can be said that human civilization has reached a critical moment of life and death.
If we don’t fight, humans will only be trapped on the Blue Star. While there is still plenty of energy to go as far as we can, we will leave the rest to God.”
"Oh, I'm afraid I won't see the controlled nuclear fusion." Maske couldn't help but sigh.
Mayor Li waved his hand: "Stop talking about you, everyone here probably won't see it, but you can still look forward to it when you land on Mars."
"Oh? Is there any insider information from Mayor Lee?"
"It's okay to tell you. The above has passed the plan of "manned fire" and will be implemented immediately when the volcanic ash above the heads are gone."
"Didn't you say you want to build a moon base? Is it cancelled?" someone said in surprise.
Mayor Li shook his head: "No cancellation, the two plans were implemented simultaneously."
"Wow, it's a big deal!"
Everyone exclaimed.
"Mayor Li, our country has never even been to the moon. We have to go to Mars at once. Would it be too risky?" Xu Dong asked a question.
"Don't worry, a few years ago, Beautiful Country and Europa handed over all the aerospace technology and data to us. At the same time, we also received hundreds of thousands of relevant experts and professors.
If we have a few more years of running-in, in our Daxia dialect, this is called a ten-year sword. We will definitely be able to achieve our goals in one battle and capture Ying Huo in one fell swoop."
“yinghuo?”
"Old Ma." Xu Dong helped explain, "Yinghuo is Mars, the ancients called Mars."
"I see."
Maske nodded.
Landing on Mars has always been his biggest dream.
I hope I can really witness this in my lifetime.
...
After lunch, Xu Dong was pulled to a nearby teahouse by Maske and others. At this time, many people gathered in the teahouse, basically all of whom were business elites from Kangaroo Country.
It was not until this time that he finally understood.
It turned out that everyone had heard of the plan, and he was the only one who was kept in the dark.
After discussing for a whole afternoon, everyone finally formulated a rough investment plan. It was rare that many investment "forbidden areas" were temporarily opened up, and no one wanted to miss the opportunity to make a fortune.
Xu Dong, the president of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce, has undoubtedly become a hot commodity in everyone's eyes. Everyone wants to get close to him, and no one wants to fall behind.
After the meeting, everyone had a supper together.
It was not until early 8 o'clock in the evening that Xu Dong returned home with exhaustion. The people in the afternoon were so good at tossing and making him dizzy. He just wanted to go to bed now.
I don't even want to take a shower.
"Dad, are you back? Are you tired?"
Lele came behind his father and helped the other party press his shoulders.
Ji Yin was busy pouring boiling water.
"Why is the house so quiet? Where is your mother?"
Xu Dong closed his eyes comfortably.
"Dad, my mom, my breasts, and grandpa all went to the hospital. In the afternoon, my cousin called back and said that my cousin's wife was going to give birth."
"Is that true?" Xu Dong immediately stood up, "I want to go to the hospital to see you. Don't watch TV and Ji Yin, hurry back to your room to sleep."
"Dad, my cousin's wife may have given birth now. Let's go see her and the baby tomorrow?"
Lele said distressedly.
My dad was exhausted and wrote it on his face.
Xu Dong was about to speak when the phone rang at home suddenly, and Ji Yin quickly ran over and answered.
Soon, he couldn't wait to announce:
"Dad, wife, it's my aunt's phone number. My cousin's wife has given birth to a big fat boy."
Lele said happily in an instant: "Hehe, the little seahorse has finally come out."
Xiao Haima is a nickname that his family had long thought of.
If it is a boy, follow the naming habits of Lion and others.
