After Yang Huaqing finished taking a bath, he put on an apron.
Zhang Hao has almost finished processing the mutton here. The mutton bones are used to make soup, the mutton chops are used to braise, and the mutton is used to make hot pot.
"What are you going to cook next?"
"We have a mutton dinner at noon, stir-fry two vegetables, make a mutton soup, have a mutton hot pot, and finally cook a pot of rice."
Zhang Hao replied.
"I'll do it, you go and rest!"
Yang Huaqing stepped forward and took the kitchen knife from her boyfriend's hand.
Zhang Hao smiled and said: "You really don't want me to stay and help?"
"No, I am enough alone."
Yang Huaqing said with confidence.
"As the saying goes, if a man and a woman match each other, the work will not be tiring. Anyway, I am fine now..."
Before Zhang Hao finished speaking, his cell phone suddenly rang. When he saw that it was Mayor Chen of Zhucheng, he smiled bitterly, shook his head, and immediately walked towards the study.
"Cackle..."
Yang Huaqing covered her mouth and snickered.
This slap in the face was too timely.
In the study, Zhang Hao quickly answered the phone.
"Is this Director Zhang?"
It’s not the secretary, it’s Mayor Chen himself.
"Hello! Hello, Mayor Chen, I'm Zhang Hao."
"Director Zhang, I have no other purpose for calling you today. I just want to tell you good news."
Mayor Chen got straight to the point.
"What good news?"
Zhang Hao followed the other party's words and asked.
There weren't many places where the two sides met. He probably guessed what the news was, but it was a little strange that the other party knew about it earlier than Governor Li.
Sure enough, there is a big background.
Mayor Chen chuckled: "I believe Director Zhang has guessed it."
"Is Antarctica about to be lifted?"
"That's right, Director Zhang, you are indeed worthy of your reputation. This time you are betting on the right thing." Mayor Chen nodded with a smile, "If nothing else happens, the federal government will announce the lifting of the ban early tomorrow morning. Not only will the ban be lifted this time,
It’s not just Antarctica, it also includes most of the mountains, rivers and rivers.”
"Oh? Why did it pass suddenly?"
Zhang Hao is really curious.
Although he knew it was happening, he didn't know why.
Mayor Chen sighed and then explained:
"Actually, the federal government has nothing to do. The eruption of Mount Fuji volcano will bring hundreds of millions more refugees at once. The pressure is too great. In addition, many bans have long been in name only, so we might as well just let them go!"
"I see, we can finally let go and have a big fight."
Zhang Hao immediately echoed.
Mayor Chen asked smoothly: "Director Zhang, where is our fleet now?"
"I just left Sydney on the 20th last month, and I guess I have arrived in the Southern Ocean now."
The ocean-going fleet was repaired in Sydney for a week.
"Okay, it seems that we are sure to drink this first sip of soup." Mayor Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, and then changed the subject: "Oh, if I had known this, I should have bought more shares. We in Zhucheng are after all
In the federal capital, five percent is too little."
"Mayor Chen, it's useless for you to look for me! I don't have any shares now. Even if I have shares, those fish catches belong to the state and have nothing to do with me." Zhang Hao quickly excused himself.
"Director Zhang, you are being humble. No matter what, you single-handedly promoted Southeast Fishery Company. You are the founder, so you still have some influence."
"Okay, if I can take care of it, I will definitely take care of it."
Zhang Hao took the initiative to show his kindness.
No matter what, the other party has a great background, and making good friends with him is equivalent to making good friends with the future chief executive of the federation. The advantages always outweigh the disadvantages.
"Haha, thank you very much."
Mayor Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
He admitted that he looked down on the other party at first.
"You are too polite." Zhang Hao immediately changed the subject, "Mayor Chen, how is the relocation of the capital going?"
Even if everything goes well, it will take several months for the fleet to return, and it is too early to talk about "allocation" now.
"We are already moving. When the election is completed next month, the new chief executive will be announced in Zhucheng, which means the move is complete."
Mayor Chen replied.
Federal elections do not use popular suffrage, but are directly elected by the Federal Parliament. Each region has different seats based on its own population and economic size.
For example, the mainland occupies 58 seats and has the most seats in the Federation, followed by the other side of the ocean and Europa, which are almost the same.
The three companies together account for more than half of the seats.
Chief executive officers basically come from these three companies.
In comparison, Nissan only has 15 seats, and the huge African region only has 30 seats. I don’t know whether it is fair or unfair.
Zhang Hao took the opportunity to inquire: "Mayor Chen, now that the influence on the other side of the Taiwan Strait has dropped sharply, the parliamentary seats must be readjusted. The next election should be ours, right?"
"We have the best chance, but don't forget there is Europa." Mayor Chen reminded.
"Haha, Europa is nothing to worry about. They are too divided internally. If we have a good friend from the other side of the Taiwan Strait to cooperate, it might still be possible."
"They don't necessarily have no chance."
"Anyway, there's not much chance." Zhang Hao said disdainfully, "Mayor Chen, can I ask, who are we going to recommend?"
"Unsurprisingly, it should be the one from Shencheng. In the current disaster, the Federation needs a young man, and the older ones can't bear to run around like this."
Mayor Chen did not hide anything.
This matter was determined as early as the beginning of the year.
"So simple?"
Zhang Hao was a little surprised.
He considered various reasons, but did not think about age. However, currently, planes are suspended, and older people really cannot bear the pain of traveling long distances.
"The road to simplicity is actually that simple. If you put aside the disaster, the Federation is now in the best era. Especially after these two waves of rescue operations and the establishment of supply and marketing cooperatives, the authority of the Federation has become stronger and has a bright future.
Can be expected.”
Mayor Chen couldn't help but envy him.
Zhang Hao nodded: "I have no doubt about this. The better the development of the Federation, the better the development of our Zhuwan District."
"That's true!" After Mayor Chen finished speaking, he extended an invitation again: "Director Zhang, come and sit down with us in Zhucheng when you have time. To be honest, the development of Zhucheng cannot be separated from outstanding entrepreneurs like you."
"Definitely!"
……
Zhang Hao had just hung up the phone when Governor Li's call came in.
"Director Zhang, who were you calling just now? Why are you always occupying the phone?"
It can be heard that Governor Li is in a good mood.
"It's Mayor Chen from Zhucheng."
Zhang Hao answered truthfully.
"It turns out to be Lao Chen. Did he tell you all?"
"If you are talking about lifting the ban, then I do know." Zhang Hao nodded.
"Director Zhang, congratulations."
"That's wrong. We should be happy together."
"That's right, Southeast Fishery Company's value has doubled now. I just received several phone calls, all of them talking to me about the possibility of investing in shares..."
