After returning to Lan Fang like a king and establishing complete mutual trust with the Grand Duke, Gu Kun could finally officially flex his muscles in his career without worrying about the constraints of planning and approval.
He had been holding back for a long time for this day - originally, his auction of the sunken cultural relics of the "Suarez" in the Netherlands ended in mid-May, and all the money would be received by the end of May.
But Gu Kun held it back for two or three months. From the end of May to the end of August now, he didn't dare to spend the money.
The purpose is to show weakness to the enemy so that no one will be afraid of him, or to allow the enemy to blindly speculate on the use of his money and to lure the enemy into making changes.
Now, these smoke bombs have finally dissipated.
After searching through the auction proceeds of 50 million US dollars, plus several million US dollars of cash flow left over from the previous bits and pieces, Gu Kun now had nearly 60 million US dollars to use.
After returning from the banquet at the Duke's Palace "Zhaoming Palace", Gu Kun had a good night's rest.
He slept until nearly noon the next day and didn't get up. He dealt with the backlog of business affairs that had been accumulated when he left, and listened to reports from subordinates such as Tang Jia and Gao Jianxiong. Because he had to adapt to the climate and time difference, he was not too busy.
On the third day, he finally woke up refreshed and early, and the first thing he did was make an international long-distance call to Shanghai.
The call was to Luo Haili, a senior in the school team. Gu Kun asked straight to the point: "Sister, have you found an internship unit?"
Luo Haili was a junior when she participated in the competition, one year ahead of Gu Kun. But school is about to start in September, and Gu Kun will be promoted to a junior, while Luo Haili will be an intern in her senior year.
As mentioned before, Huaxia's college student package allocation was gradually phased out in proportion starting from the 96th grade.
Therefore, it is impossible for Qin Ke, the captain of the school team who is about to graduate, to be hired directly by Gu Kun. He has a work unit assigned by the state.
But Luo Haili has to consider finding her own way out. If she is willing to set an example and take the initiative not to take up the quota allocated by the state as soon as she enters her senior year, I believe her teachers and classmates will also be kind to her. After all, this is to support national reform.
, a win-win situation that reduces competition among classmates.
"I can't find it. Didn't I say that there are two theoretical courses in my senior year, elective courses." Luo Haili spoke very honestly.
In fact, as we all know, college students are basically not allowed to take the two elective courses they will take in their senior year because they are busy looking for jobs.
It's just that it's the first time for 96 to find a job, so everyone started taking classes seriously.
"What kind of theoretical class should I take? I can understand it by reading a book. It's better to get some internship experience early." Gu Kun advised bluntly,
"I have a job here, you can see if you are interested. Our country is still young, and there was no Olympic Committee before. Now a genius like me has suddenly appeared, and he wants to participate in next year's Olympics, but he has not contacted the organization to go through the relevant procedures.
.
If you are willing to help me, I will talk to the Grand Duke and let you be the director of the preparations for our Olympic Committee. When the preparations are completed in the future, you will be the official member of the Blue Olympic Committee. Of course, you'd better apply to become a Dutch nationality.
, but don’t worry, Lanfang has always been a pro-China country, and it will definitely not be considered treason if you join, so don’t feel any psychological burden.”
Luo Haili had never thought of this situation at all, and her head immediately buzzed after hearing it.
"As a senior sports student, as long as I agree to the other party's persuasion, I can directly become a member of the Olympic Committee of a small country? This... this kind of job hunting is so exciting, right?"
She couldn't help but think so wildly, all kinds of speculations were floating in her mind, and there was a Sakuragi Hanamichi-style silly smile when she was so lustful.
Maybe women who practice swimming are a bit funny, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to make progress in their careers.
It's a pity that Gu Kun couldn't see her expression through the phone. Hearing that she didn't respond for a long time, he thought she was hesitating, so he added a little more: "Don't underestimate the position of the chairman of the Lanzhou Olympic Committee. Although we are civil servants in Lanzhou,
I don’t have much money, and I estimate that the Blue Olympic Committee will only be able to provide services to me for many years to come. But if you can swim in the Olympic B mark, you can also participate in the Olympic Games. It is easy for a small country to participate in the Olympic Games.
Besides, we in Lanzhou will vigorously develop the cultural tourism industry in the past few years. Before, because the country was small and there were no related industries, we didn’t even have a corresponding competent department. Now we are going to learn from the structure of Nanbang Country and start a cultural and sports tourism industry.
Ministry. You can come to the ministry as a deputy when the time comes."
In those top powers, the Ministry of Culture is the Ministry of Culture, and other industries will also be separated separately and have their own competent departments. How do they fit together?
But in a small country with few affairs and tight finances, it would be too cumbersome to have so many ministries. Therefore, like Nanbang, there is a merger method like the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
Next door, Malaysia has a weird way of merging departments in later generations, such as the "Ministry of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate". The minister is still a famous beauty, but she was probably still a primary school student in 1994.
Gu Kun felt that Lanfang's national conditions for developing related industries were similar to those of Nanbang. He suggested this to the Grand Duke at the previous dinner table. The other party also thought that it would be okay to add a department, but the prerequisite was that all official expenses of this department must rely on tourism.
Tax support, the existing finance does not allocate funds.
So after Gu Kun punished himself with three drinks, the Grand Duke decided to go back and get another rubber stamp from the parliament.
In this way, from now on, Gu Kun's related business will be under the centralized management of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. No one, Zhu Jingye or anyone else, can cause any trouble for Gu Kun.
Even if Gu Kun wanted to build a commercial real estate hotel, he did not need approval from the Ministry of Construction. He would have approved it himself from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and after the approval was completed, he would file a case with the relevant construction department.
If Gu Kun wants to in the future, he can just find any of his confidants to be the minister, or he can do it himself.
It's not a fancy position anyway. In terms of authority, it's equivalent to the director of a county branch in China.
Luo Haili was completely confused. She was afraid that she would remain sluggish any longer and Gu Kun would continue to make some unimaginable terrifying conditions. She quickly wiped her saliva through the phone and suppressed the Sakuragi Hanamichi smile that was about to appear:
"I am willing, I am willing. I will apply to the school in the next few days and ask the school to issue me a letter of introduction, but you need to provide some official documents such as invitation letters."
"Then it's settled. But you won't have subordinates for the time being. You are just a polished commander. You can see how the relevant procedures go and what cooperation is needed before you come to recruit people locally." After Gu Kun made the decision, he hung up.
Telephone.
Then he asked Tang Jia to help make up an invitation letter and ask who should get it stamped.
"Awesome, you tricked a senior from the school into working for you." Tang Jia received the minutes and couldn't help but tease Gu Kun.
Gu Kun smiled and said: "What do you mean, I don't sneak into other people's homes. Have you seen Senior Sister Luo? She is not as beautiful as you, but her legs are a bit longer. I am a very pure teammate who helps each other. If Senior Qin
If the allocation is not included, I will ask Senior Qin, he might be able to handle things more efficiently."
Tang Jia smiled: "Okay, I'm just kidding you to make you anxious. There's no point in praising me for being beautiful."
Girls studying international relations are not even afraid of men making dirty jokes, let alone when they are just joking like Gu Kun.
"Don't be complacent. Maybe I will find someone else to be the general manager and assign you to be the minister!" Gu Kun watched Tang Jia go to work and complained behind his back.
A 20-year-old beautiful minister may be shocking in other countries, but for a top student from a prestigious school like Jiaotong University to become the branch director of the smallest and poorest county as soon as he graduated, is he still reaching a high level? Gu Kun didn't think so at all.
He is a classmate of someone. As long as he has real skills and a few years of experience, he will definitely be competent.
…
After some formalities, Lanfang's Olympic organizing committee was temporarily set up.
After settling matters with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Olympic Organizing Committee, it was Gu Kun's turn to worry about the big shopping plans.
He took the accounts, the problems reported by various departments, and the small notebook he had secretly recorded at the beginning of his rebirth, and investigated them one by one.
"With nearly 60 million U.S. dollars, we must first set aside at least 20 million U.S. dollars to buy the unfinished 'Isakov' that has been stopped at the Nikolayev Shipyard. However, I am not in a hurry to place an order immediately. I will have the rest of the year.
Within the next four months, we can naturally finalize this matter."
Gu Kun compared the materials and decided on the largest expense first.
Some people may think that it is almost the end of 1995, so they should first invest in Internet stocks or other good projects that can make money quickly, but Gu Kun definitely thinks that buying the "Isakov" is worthwhile.
If you buy it now, firstly, you can get it easily before the surveillance in Western countries is tightened, and you don’t have to worry about local chickens making things difficult. Secondly, it may suppress the demand of relevant departments to board the ship to find out what is going on, and at the same time, change it.
Hang a bigger pie and cast a long line to catch a big fish.
As long as Gu Kun succeeds, he can guarantee that in the next two years, there will be an endless stream of requests for publicly funded study tours and meetings, so that he can eat and drink well.
As for when the relevant departments from the North will come on board to make trouble, Gu Kun feels that he is confident that it will be until the end of 1997, which means that it will last two years from now on.
As for why the controls were secretly relaxed in the future, Gu Kun even thought of an excuse. He used Soros' excuse to harvest Southeast Asia, which made Lan Fang angry and break away from the West. At that time, there was no need to fear Western retaliation. The reason was the same as Gu Kun a few days ago.
This is what Kun said to the Grand Duke at the wine table:
The West would not want a small country that abandoned the West in anger during the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia to cause panic among the other 600 million Southeast Asian people and arouse national hatred among the other 600 million people because of the suppression. After all, by then these 600 million people will be
People who sincerely want to kill Suo Gou's household registration book and eat his flesh so that he can have no descendants or descendants are worthy of people's hearts.
This is absolutely no exaggeration. Don’t look at the speeches of later generations of Oceania, which often attributed the weak tactics of “changing forward deployments to forward presence” before the “pivot to Asia” to the weakness of the Clinton period or the “immortal” tenure.
Attention is shifted to the Middle East",
But in fact, these speeches glossed over an important reason, which was that from the late 1990s to the early 21st century, even the countries in Southeast Asia that had always been the most pro-American, angrily launched many boycotts.
Even domestic slaves like the Philippines, which had allowed the U.S. military to be stationed for a hundred years without giving a shit, began to rebound, so they changed forward deployment to forward presence. As soon as they existed, they went to Guam and retreated for a couple of years.
Thousands of nautical miles.
It can only be said that Sogou himself has made money, but Brittany and Oceania will have to pay the price of "Southeast Asians not being pro-Western in ten years" for their indulgence of financial dogs.
Of course, Gu Kun had to take advantage of these conditions and make plans in advance.
——
ps: 1000 at 5 o'clock will definitely not be reached, but after thinking about it, if there is no fifth update, everyone will not know whether it is the poor performance or my broken promise. So the fifth update is purely to follow up at the end of the chapter.
Explain and prove that I didn't break my promise.
It's currently 700, and by five o'clock it will be at most 800, which is about the same as I estimated.
I will take another look at 8 o'clock in the evening. If the number reaches 1,000 by then, I will release the sixth update. However, everyone who watches one update after another will not be happy, and students who don't want to open the app often will see the same thing tomorrow.
Anyway, I won’t miss everyone. If it reaches 1,500 in the middle of the night, it will be 12,000 words tomorrow. If I can maintain 1,500 in the future, I will try to update 10,000 words two days a week. If I can’t reach it, at least it will be 10,000 words.
Six thousand a day is unbeatable.
I am a little mentally prepared, so I am still considered a Buddhist. I will write this book more slowly, calm down and save some energy to learn transformation and upgrading. I know my own strength. It is the first time I write a farming article, and it doesn’t feel like farming when I write it.
Literature can be regarded as a poison of path dependence. The general trend of the times is that there is nothing we can do about it. After all, no one seems to read the traditional rebirth of literature overnight. The knowledge structure and writing style are aging, and there is always a price to pay.
