After the engagement party, Lele and Ji Yin's wedding date was set on February 14, which was also the day of the Lunar New Year's Eve. Google search reading

The reason for choosing this day.

On the one hand, the Lunar New Year's Eve happened to be Valentine's Day in the West, which had a good meaning; on the other hand, the Ji family was busy with work and only had one day off during the Spring Festival.

This was also unavoidable.

In order to support the domestic disaster, major factories in Kangaroo Country were basically working overtime to produce various materials, and coal enterprises were the top priority.

As one of the top leaders in the group, Ji's father could not leave his post without reason.

After a month, after comprehensive research and comprehensive analysis, the board of directors of Xinke Seaweed finally approved the proposal to invest in the Nanfei branch base.

According to the project plan, the entire branch base is estimated to invest more than 80 billion yuan, which is larger than the current several branch bases combined.

By then, the annual production capacity of Xinke Seaweed will exceed an astonishing 5 million tons, which can at least feed 30 million people, equivalent to the annual grain output of Sydney.

In fact, Xu Dong did not agree with such a radical plan at first. After all, there are only a few people in the Philippines, and such a large production capacity cannot be absorbed at all.

In contrast, he personally prefers to expand the branch base in Kangaroo Country. One is under his nose, and the other is thousands of miles away. It is obvious which is better.

Unfortunately, it is not as he wishes.

Just before the board of directors voted, Minister He, an old acquaintance of the Ministry of Commerce, personally called him and asked him to actively cooperate with the superior's large-scale development strategy in the Philippines.

This is the official will, and he can only do it.

On February 1, the "Lina" officially returned.

Accompanying were some middle and senior executives of the Xinke headquarters, as well as their families, including General Manager Ye Hui.

The production base in Yanjing has been shut down for several months, and it is just the right opportunity to draw backbone forces to fully support the project in the South Philippines.

For this business trip, Ye Hui and others naturally would not object, and even a little excited. If they were not reluctant to leave their jobs, they would have found a way to immigrate to the south.

The disaster in Yanjing is hard to make people optimistic.

On the first day after boarding the ship, Ye Hui took the initiative to find the big boss.

Xu Dong invited the other party into the study.

"Mr. Xu, I want to talk to you about the company."

"Oh? Didn't we talk about it in the meeting a few days ago? What else do you want to say?"

Ye Hui didn't beat around the bush: "Mr. Xu, I suggest that the company headquarters be moved directly to Nanfei."

"What's the reason?"

Xu Dong had similar ideas before.

It's just that the destination is not Nanfei, but Sydney.

Since the "Yahu Headquarters" moved to Qiongdao, coupled with the current snowstorm, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yanjing is accelerating its decline.

Every time he comes here on a business trip, he has the most intuitive feeling, and it really fits the saying:

Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west.

"There are three reasons."

"Then tell me in detail."

Xu Dong poured a cup of green tea for the other party.

"First, the fundamental reason is that the South Philippine branch has the highest production capacity, accounting for almost two-thirds of the share;

Second, the attractiveness of Yanjing is declining sharply. Not only can it not attract new talents, but it is also difficult to retain existing talents.

Since the second half of last year, the laboratory has lost dozens of elite researchers, half of whom went to Professor Zhuang Zhen, and half simply resigned."

Xu Dong frowned: "What else?"

"The last reason is my personal idea. I think the development potential of the Philippines is greater than that of China and Kangaroo Country. We should actively participate in it."

Ye Hui said firmly.

"Why do you think so?"

"Just look at the area. The Philippines has an area of ​​30 million square kilometers, which is almost three times the size of Daxia. The reason why it couldn't develop in the past was mainly because of the harsh natural environment.

But now it's different. The whole world is the same. No one is much better than anyone else. In addition, the overall latitude of the Philippines is relatively low, which has now become an advantage."

Xu Dong hit the nail on the head: "No matter how good you say it, it's useless. The Philippines has a fatal weakness, that is, lack of coal. The coal of Kangaroo Country is already very difficult to supply to the country."

"Mr. Xu, the Philippines is close to the oil-producing area, and it is not actually short of energy."

"It is always controlled by others and is not safe."

Xu Dong shook his head.

In a sense, the reason why Yahu can dominate the Philippines must be that it has made exchanges in many aspects.

For example, not intervening in the Euro-Jewish War.

Another example is not intervening in American affairs.

The oil-producing area is the lifeline of Europe, and the other party will not give up its core interests no matter what.

Ye Hui did not give up: "Don't forget, there is also controlled nuclear fusion? As long as the project is successful, we can completely get rid of our dependence on coal and oil."

"You think too far ahead."

"Mr. Xu, if you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries."

Xu Dong tapped the table lightly. Ye Hui's idea suddenly seemed a bit far-fetched, but it was difficult to find flaws after careful consideration.

"So, you senior executives plan to settle down in the Philippines for the rest of your lives?"

Ye Hui nodded: "Yes, we have discussed it privately, including Academician Zeng, Professor Huang, Director Martinez and Dr. Alex, everyone is willing to go to the Philippines to try their luck."

"What a coincidence?"

Xu Dong said half-believingly.

"It's not a coincidence. If Professor Huang and Dr. Alex want to go further, they just lack a qualification to show off. Director Martinez basically follows Dr. Alex. As for Academician Zeng, it's strange that he was the first to bring up this matter..."

"You don't need to explain more. I understand." Xu Dong waved his hand. "This matter must have been pushed by the top. Otherwise, with Academician Zeng's status, there is no need to do this."

Ye Hui hesitated for a while: "Mr. Xu, I heard a rumor here."

"What rumor?"

Xu Dong asked subconsciously.

"Given the current severe situation, the higher-ups seem to have formulated a three-line homeland plan, with China as the first line, Kangaroo Country as the second line, and the Philippines as the third line."

"Is it reliable?"

"Not sure, but I heard that many domestic enterprises and institutions have moved to the Philippines, or are planning to move there. I don't know if it's intentional."

Xu Dong smiled: "Okay, whether there is a three-line homeland plan or not, since Academician Zeng and others have agreed, I have no reason to object."

"Mr. Xu, have you agreed?"

Ye Hui was pleasantly surprised.

"It's not enough for me to agree. This matter must be voted on by the board of directors. You should go to southern Philippines to explore the way first, and then submit a report. If there is really development potential there, it won't be too late to move then."

Xu Dong ordered.

"Yes, we will definitely conduct a serious investigation."

...

A week later, the yacht docked in the small town of Songkhla.

Ye Hui and others disembarked here. They will take a car to the Perlis Port in the west, and then take a passenger ship across the Indian Ocean to southern Philippines.

This avoids the detour through the Sunda Strait and saves a lot of time.
