Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

Five or six delicious dishes had already been placed on the dining table, with enticing aroma wafting from the hot steam.

Li Yitong and Bai Xiaolu stood aside, one holding a bottle of white wine and the other elegantly holding a bottle of red wine, preparing to fill everyone's glasses.

Seeing their godfather enter the restaurant, the two immediately stopped what they were doing, smiled, and greeted him obediently: "Godfather!"

"Don't be shy, just treat it like your home."

Godfather smiled gently and walked to his main seat and sat down.

As everyone sat down, the godmother greeted Chu warmly: "Come on, Yitong and Xiaolu, don't be polite, just help yourself to whatever you want to eat." Her voice was gentle and kind.

Young Master Chu toasted his godfather with a glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, picked up a chicken leg, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

"Yuchen, I saw the photos and videos that Xiaolu took of you at the seaside manor."

After taking a sip of red wine, the godmother asked with a smile: "The scenery and environment there are really nice. Are you planning to hold your wedding there?"

Young Master Chu put the remaining half of the chicken leg into the bowl, glanced at his godfather who was tasting the wine, and nodded: "Yes, I would like to invite you two elders to come and show your support to me."

"Of course."

The godmother replied with a smile, her eyes curved into crescents, "How could we not come for such a big event? We have been looking forward to this day for a long time..."

Then, the godmother looked at the godfather with her phoenix eyes and said with a smile: "Old man, you are right, right?"

"Ah."

The godfather put down his wine glass, slowly glanced at Young Master Chu and his wife, and smiled faintly: "As long as you are not afraid of scaring the guests, I should be fine."

Young Master Chu smiled and said, "They are all our relatives. We have never thought of having a grand celebration."

The godfather nodded slightly: "This is good. The most important thing about a wedding is the feelings between the two parties and the witness of relatives and friends. There is no need to be too extravagant... Back then... when I married your godmother, everything was kept simple."

Hearing this, the godmother’s eyes flashed with nostalgia, and she said softly: “Yes, the conditions were limited at that time, but our hearts were full.

A simple wedding is more precious than any grand ceremony. With the blessings of relatives and friends, it is the most beautiful wedding. "

"It's just that people nowadays like to compare with each other..."

"okay."

As soon as the godfather expressed his feelings, he was immediately interrupted by the godmother: "We are talking about Yuchen and his family's wedding, don't go off topic."

The godfather laughed and raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, I won't talk about that."

Then he raised his glass and signaled to his godmother: "Then let's toast to the future happiness of Yuchen, Xiaolu and Yitong."

Hearing this, Mr. Chu and his wife raised their glasses and clinked them with each other...

……

After dinner, Young Master Chu followed his godfather back to the study.

In the reception area, after waving his hand to let the secretary who was serving tea leave, Godfather walked to the desk, picked up a document, walked back to the sofa and sat down, his face serious:

"I've taken a look at your plan to integrate the southern countries, and now I want to hear your opinion."

"As for this plan, it is a supplement to my Middle East strategy."

Young Master Chu quickly adjusted his posture and sat upright. Facing his godfather's question, he thought for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then said:

“I feel that the Eagle Sauce has many followers, and they respond to a call. Although we have friends all over the world, we don’t have many caring followers.

The southern countries have been within the cultural sphere of our Great Xia since ancient times, and for a long period of time, they have been our vassal states.

They were deeply influenced by the Daxia civilization, and their language, writing, and customs are all inextricably linked to ours.

What I want to do is to take advantage of this meeting, when the power of the Eagle Sauce is declining, to first sort out the border disputes between us and other countries.

Then, build a stable alliance with Daxia as the core.

In this way, our sphere of influence will increase dramatically, and Daxia's defense line can be extended outward to a large extent, greatly enhancing the security factor of our territory.

At the same time, with the help of this alliance, we can penetrate Daxia's influence in all aspects deeper into these countries, making it easier to control them."

Godfather slowly picked up the exquisite porcelain teacup on the table. The lush green tea leaves expanded in the hot water, emitting a faint fragrance.

Then he gently blew the hot steam on the water, took a sip of tea, closed his eyes, and savored the sweetness and freshness brought by the tea.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, a trace of thought in his eyes. He tilted his head and nodded slightly, signaling Young Master Chu to continue.

"Secondly, the ten southern countries are each other's largest trading partners, and our economies are highly complementary. In addition, with a population of more than 7 million, this is an extremely large market.

We can migrate some low-end industrial chains to them and penetrate their economy. More importantly, the rich resources of the southern countries will greatly ease the pressure on our country's resources, especially oil, natural gas, timber, grain, copper... and other resources.

It can ensure our stable supply and reduce our sensitivity to price fluctuations in the international market.

At the same time, this also provides a broad space for development for Chinese enterprises and helps to promote the optimization and upgrading of my country's industrial structure...

As long as the southern countries are integrated, and together with the three countries in Asia and the East, Baba the Sheep and the White Elephant Asan, we will be able to compete with the Eagle Sauce Alliance in every aspect.

This will undoubtedly play a decisive role in the upcoming battle for supremacy in the desert."

Young Master Chu spoke eloquently and felt a little dry in the mouth. He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a big sip, and looked at his godfather, waiting for his approval.

The grand blueprint drawn by Mr. Chu made Godfather fall into deep thought.

Looking at the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Young Master Chu's growth in the past two years was indeed eye-opening.

"Yu Chen."

He slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said in a deep voice:

“Your plan is indeed very comprehensive. It not only takes into account the integration of resources and economic development, but also the building of alliances and competition on the international stage. It can be seen that you have done in-depth research and have a clear strategy for this.

As you said, the southern countries are as important to us as Europe is to the Eagle Sauce.

As long as we control them, Daxia will be invincible."

Godfather stared at Master Chu for a few seconds with his piercing eyes, and said firmly: "Since you have such great ambitions, of course I have to support you."

"Thank you godfather."

Young Master Chu looked solemn and assured firmly: "With your support, this plan will surely succeed."

Godfather stood up, patted Young Master Chu on the shoulder, and nodded heavily.

it is more than words.
