The prince expressed great joy at the visit of his good friend and his wife, and received him according to the highest treatment of the royal family. The two met the elders of the royal family for the first time. After Zhu Xuefeng delivered the last contract as promised, They were even treated with the utmost hospitality.
Dongsheng Company’s proposal also received strong support, and a Crescent International Trading Company, a joint venture between the two parties, was established, announcing that the cooperation between the two parties had reached a new height.
“Dear brothers, thank you for your generosity. The heavy-duty motorcycle you brought this time is so cool. I can’t think of any words to describe it. I don’t think there is anything better than him on the market. Well, it’s a cool motorcycle. I’m confident that I can deliver this extraordinary product to every customer who likes it.”
The prince was full of praise for the new gift he received. , this heavy-duty motorcycle far exceeds the current products of the same period in North America in terms of appearance and performance.
"I believe, my brother."
The two hugged gently, "Your generosity leaves us with nothing to repay. According to my father's will, I have asked someone to give you You have prepared a gift that will arrive in Xiangjiang soon. I hope you will like it. However, please let me keep this mystery before receiving the gift, haha, I am sure you will like it.”
The prince gave it up, and Zhu Xuefeng couldn't follow up. After visiting the newly explored oil fields again, the two set off on their way home.
“Husband, are they exploiting those oil fields themselves?”
“Well, they are state-owned, but I can give priority to purchase it like in China. The petroleum processing industry in the autonomous region must speed up. , I didn’t expect them to move so fast. You need to cooperate with the relevant technical personnel and equipment. It’s impossible to rely on the autonomous region’s own talents. It’s okay to build a simple small-scale oil processing. For such a big project, there are still not enough technical personnel.”< br>
Wu Qianqian nodded, "Husband, there are many people studying chemical engineering in Xiangjiang, and there are also many skilled workers. Let's recruit some from here first and build the factory. But do we have to go to North America to buy the refining equipment?"< br>
Zhu Xuefeng thought for a while, "The prices in North America are not cheap now. You can contact the domestic petrochemical industry department and form a team to inspect. Buy two sets of better ones and give one set to domestic imitation first. I believe they will be happy to do so." , will be copied soon."
Wu Qianqian nodded, she is now used to men wanting to do everything with Guo Guo, "I will make sure they keep it secret, but you will build the factory in the autonomous region. We need to let them think more about it. When the time comes to install equipment in North America, we have to pay attention to some things.”
“You don’t have to worry about this. I looked at the address they selected near the port before coming. The location is good and well-defended. The measures are in place. I asked the Yang family to take the initiative to implement this matter as a way of repaying their family's long-term support."
Wu Qianqian frowned, a little worried, "Husband, I don't know much. But is it appropriate for a family to control the energy resources of the autonomous region? This is the industrial lifeline of the autonomous region. You have handed over the construction of roads and bridges in the autonomous region to their family. This benefit should be enough."
You know what a woman is. Worried about himself, Zhu Xuefeng smiled and comforted, "This is different from roads and bridges. The oil industry is definitely impossible to be privatized, but the refinery is related to future tanker transportation, crude oil purchase, oil sales and many oil derivatives. The interests are "It's too big, let them participate, just let them occupy a position and be more profitable."
Although she didn't understand the man's thoughts, Wu Qianqian still accepted the decision to deal with the Yang family later. Zhu Xuefeng didn't think so. Simple, it’s just that I can’t say it. Of course, the oil industry cannot be handed over to others. This is a touchstone. With Zhu Xuefeng’s acquiescence, the Yang family has developed rapidly. Zhu Xuefeng does not mind that the Yang family has become a giant, but the premise is that he Our loyalty cannot be compromised and the interests of the autonomous region cannot be infringed upon.
After looking at the mountains of grain at the dock warehouse in the industrial park, Zhu Xuefeng nodded with satisfaction.
“Yes, the freighter is ready.”
“Two medium-sized freighters will return from North America in a few days, which will not delay things. However, will there really be a major flood in the mainland? There has been a drought for several years, and the rivers are seriously short of water. This little rain will not cause a big disaster.”
Wu Qianqian is not opposed to donating to China. She knows that her man has this plot, so why doesn’t she? Now at home. With this ability, it is natural to do some good deeds. This is the case in their hometown. There are many things like this in Guangdong Province in Yangcheng. She supports the master's move.
But I still don’t believe that there will be major floods in the north. This is too unbelievable. According to the latest news, heavy rain did fall in Henan Province, but it is still far away from the capital. Besides, there is no sign of a flood. People everywhere are rejoicing. Finally, There has been heavy rain, and the river water level has slowly recovered again after several years. People everywhere are celebrating. This is a good thing. Even if there is another drought next year, at least there is water in the river, and there is hope for the crops.
It’s no problem even if you carry water for irrigation. The people have to suffer, but compared with being hungry for several years, a little suffering is nothing.
“A long drought will inevitably lead to heavy rain. If I’m not wrong, this heavy rain will last for a long time and cover a wide area. Don’t think it’s okay now, but if it continues, it will not be a good thing, but a disaster.”
Wu Qianqian sighed. What the man said was so certain. It seemed to be true. The man’s judgment had not been missed in the past few years. Although she didn’t know where he got the news, the man’s words still had to be listened to.
"Also, the four thousand assault boats left in the capital will be used for disaster relief. It is already the end of July, and it is estimated that it has not rained in the capital yet. You should have people pay attention to that area at all times. If there is a flood, I sent a telegram there saying that these are free support for disaster relief, you know?”
The sales of the assault boat were very good, but Dongsheng Company controlled the sales volume after selling a thousand units, and has been ensuring the capital. There are four thousand in stock just for this moment.
"Well. Husband, you have been preventing this flood."
"Well, if you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. Our ancestors have long reminded us that we should carry umbrellas when the weather is sunny. After several years of drought, the first thing to be prepared for is floods. "
"Also, we will fight with the mainland for donations when the time comes. Donations must be sent in time. It is best to mobilize our workers and other bosses in the electronics industry. It would be best if we can mobilize the four foreign companies and the Hong Kong government."
"Husband, this job is not easy to do. The people are more passionate about the Mainland than water, and they are very enthusiastic about every donation, but the Mainland does not accept it at all. Do you think foreign companies and the Hong Kong governor can control the life and death of the Mainland? I find it difficult to ask them to pay for it? "
Even if Wu Qianqian believed in the man's judgment, she still had no idea about foreigners. The tasks assigned by the man were a bit too taken for granted.
Zhu Xuefeng looked away from the Dongsheng Company logo on the rice bag and raised his head.
“Don’t think of these people so simply. They know whose land they are making money on. Without domestic support, they cannot solve the problem of fresh water and food supply for the millions of people in Hong Kong. What else can they do? To make money, this time is an opportunity for them. There are many things you don’t know, but I can tell you one thing. Regardless of whether the people in Hong Kong or the Mainland are in blood, they will definitely donate enthusiastically, and these capitalists and the Hong Kong government will also seize the opportunity. Show your kindness to the higher-ups and do it. The result will definitely change your perception."
"Well, I hope it's the same as you think. I really don't believe that these money-minded foreign banks will pay for it. "
"Prepare some medicines and other disaster relief materials. When the time comes, you will send them there directly on a special plane. You will also fly over the tents prepared by the garment factory..."
< br>"By the way, are the food and relief supplies designated to be donated only to the capital?"
"Of course not. The five thousand tons of food should not be used by the capital. We don't care how to distribute it and let them decide. Just transport it to Jinhai Port when the time comes. Jinhai should also be affected by the disaster this time.”
In Zhu Xuefeng’s memory, the areas around Jinhai, Baoding and Beijing were the most severely affected areas, although other places were also affected by the disaster. Heavy rain, but less damaging.
After Zhu Xuefeng confessed again, he left Xiangjiang. It is now the end of July. Although he does not know the specific day when the flood flooded the capital, he still has an impression of it in early August. It is impossible to tell anyone about this kind of disaster. Some people believe that Da Ya and Wu Qianqian are the only women who believe in Zhu Xuefeng's judgment now.
When he arrived in the capital, the heavy rain had not arrived yet, but Zhu Xuefeng still checked the courtyard carefully. Thanks to Daya's help, the courtyard had been waterproofed and the sewers had been expanded. There should be no problems It's not big. Just in case, a small mountain of sandbags is prepared in the side room in the front yard.
After sealing off the cellar entrances of several courtyards, we returned to Compound No. 95. After two days of wandering in the suburbs, the heavy rain finally entered the city. A rare heavy rainstorm swept across Hebei Province along the east side of the Taihang Mountains, triggering a flood in the Haihe River that had not been seen in hundreds of years.
The heavy rain moved from the upper reaches of the Huaihe River to the Haihe River Basin. The main path of the heavy rain started from Nanyang, Henan Province, passed through Xuchang, and reached Handan, Hebei Province. Extremely heavy rain occurred in the path area, and it rained 24 hours a day. The size reaches nearly a thousand millimeters, which is a scale of one meter on flat ground. It would be strange if it didn't cause a disaster.
Soon, Baoding was in constant emergency, and Jinhai was also in danger. The heavy rain only lasted for one day, and water began to accumulate on the streets of Beijing.
"My dear, who made a hole in the sky? This heavy rain will last all day and all night, and it will not stop."
Shazhu and Lou Xiao'e returned in embarrassment The courtyard, followed by others, was soaked all over. An hour's journey away, no matter how well shielded it was, it was like a drowned rat.
"Hey, are you back?" Looking at Zhu Xuefeng who was standing at the door watching the excitement, Silly Zhu screamed, causing Lou Xiao'e to roll his eyes.
"Well, it's a coincidence. Come home quickly and change your clothes. I've already prepared them, so you two don't have to open fire."
"The relationship is good, he is still my brother Take care of me, haha, Ezi, hurry up, go home and start cooking, you will become a wealthy family.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, you don’t have a good way, how can you become a wealthy family, don’t fall into the trap of someone who cares. In the ears.”
Lou Xiao'e complained softly, and the two of them walked away quickly holding a piece of plastic sheet, and the people behind them also ran home one after another.
After a while, Yan Jiecheng and his wife came back in a state of embarrassment. They went straight into the third uncle's house and hurried out again after a while.
“What’s wrong, I’m not staying at home when it rains.”
After changing their clothes, Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao’e stopped the couple at the entrance of the central courtyard.
"My dad's house is leaking. We have to go back and take a look. You almost demolished the house back then, and maybe it's leaking too."
Yan Jiecheng explained simply and hurried away. Back in the backyard, Silly Zhu was met with Lou Xiao'e asking in a low voice, "What do you mean by demolishing someone's house?"
Silly Zhu said a few words briefly. The two shook off the rain at the door and entered. The three of them were all familiar with each other and no one was polite. They looked at the neatly arranged dishes.
"Ezi, we are in for a treat today, haha, this kid even hid beef."
Zhu Xuefeng poured wine for the two of them and filled it for himself. In his previous life, he liked to drink wine. Drink some warm rice wine on rainy days, let’s replace it with white wine today.
“Haimi and winter melon soup, dried shrimps and cabbage, dried shrimps and eggs, brother, you are having sex with dried shrimps. Except beef, it’s all dried seafood.”
"It won't rain heavily. I took the beef and sealed the cellar. I forgot that there was only sea rice left outside. Let's make do with it, haha."
When I was cooking, I realized that I was in a hurry without getting some ingredients first. The cellar was sealed, so we had to adapt to the situation.
"You can't stuff your mouth even though you have something to eat. I said, team leader, why are you pouring me wine too?"
"Sister-in-law, you are not being honest, you are It’s not that you can’t drink. You two walked a few tables while you were doing things. Don’t bully me for not seeing it. Besides, you’re covered in rain. Drink something to go away the cold.”
Lou Xiao’e blushed, it was her first time drinking. It was with Silly Zhu, and then it became a thing. The second time we drank, it was still with Silly Zhu, and something happened. Now he would explain with a blushing face, "Isn't that just to do something? You have to drink even if you can't drink."
< br>"Ezi, don't be polite to my brother. He is right. It's good to drink some to ward off the cold. Besides, it's only one cup, so it's not a big deal."
After three rounds of drinking, Silly Zhu He just slapped his head and said, "Oh no, no, no, I forgot something. I'm sorry, brother, so I have to put some food on the table."
"That's it? Just pretend, I have plenty to spare anyway."
< br> Silly Zhu said without being polite, he took a bowl from the kitchen at the back, put a little of various dishes in it, and took another bowl to serve rice.
“Give it to the old lady?”
"No, it's raining so heavily that the old lady can't go out. The dinner must not have been served yet, so I'll just leave it all. The old lady doesn't eat enough, brother, don't mind."
"What a big deal. , If we don’t fill up the bowl of soup, the three of us will definitely not be able to finish it.”
“I’ll do it.” Lou Xiao’e stood up and filled up the bowl of winter melon and sea rice soup.
"Hurry up, it will rain less now."
Zhu Xuefeng took out the basket, arranged the pillars one by one, carefully placed the soup, and added a cabbage leaf to cover it It is said that the soup is not easy to spread this way.
Lou Xiao'e took the umbrella and went to accompany Shazhu, "You sit with my brother for a while, I will do it by myself and will be back soon."
Looking at Shazhu holding the umbrella with one hand , a hand-held basket entered the middle courtyard, and Lou Xiao'e sat down with him.
"My brother Zhuzi is like this. The old lady treats him well, and he always thinks about her, which is good."
"No, after the last incident, he even talked to someone The uncle said that he wanted to celebrate the 80th birthday of the old lady. I don’t know much about the old etiquette in Beijing, but I still know a little about the details of celebrating the 80th birthday. Then Zhang Luo, a filial son and a filial grandson, treats the old lady as his own grandmother. "
Zhu Xuefeng calculated the time and found that the deaf old lady was born in 1985 and would be eighty in 1965. This age is indeed rare in this era of lack of food and clothing. , it stands to reason that a birthday banquet should be held to give blessings. (End of chapter)
