Chapter 867 Ginseng (8000 words)
It is foreseeable that with the development of semiconductors and the aviation manufacturing industry, as well as the continuous improvement of our living standards, the demand for aircraft will become greater and greater, and the money we earn will increase.

The main reason is that some things are not convenient for individuals to do.

As a person, you have to have some self-awareness. In his previous life, Liu Hai saw many big guys being arrogant. Although the problems mentioned by these big guys do exist, some of them are institutional problems themselves.

Of course, Liu Hai’s current expenses are also quite large. He has invested in the Red Flag Canal Project, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, and the Three Gorges Project.

The only foreign investment is the port of Djibouti, but it has now been leased to a large domestic company.

This port will also distribute dividends every year in the future.

As for the port on the private island, it was originally privately owned and not foreign, and is now leased to a domestic port company.

As for investments in other countries, Liu Hai is not keen on it, because investments in other countries are likely to have problems and he does not have the energy to argue about it.

Although the annual investment is huge, Liu Hai still thinks that the current funds should be used as much as possible, because something that costs one dollar now may cost 10 dollars in 10 years.

And some things are better done sooner, such as planting corals.

There are many islands in the South China Sea, including many uninhabited islands. We can start building artificial reefs around these uninhabited islands now.

As the corals grow, the islands will grow larger because sand brought by the waves will continue to accumulate.

After planting corals, you can also develop tourism, fishing, diving, etc.

Of course, this is a long-term investment, as it takes several years for the corals to bear fruit.

It would be a shame not to develop such a vast area as the South China Sea.

Of course, Liu Hai will keep this in mind first and then consult relevant experts later.

Another thing is planting trees in the desert, which can also be started early.

Of course, we still need to see some economic benefits, because only sustainable development can bring more people to do this.

If you do these things with the intention of simply doing good things, things will only get worse and worse.

For now, let’s just focus on these two long-term investments. Of course, we need to consult relevant experts, because Liu Hai is not very proficient in this area.

As for the development of the northern border, Liu Hai does not interfere at all, as these are matters at the national level.

In March 1992, Belgium and other European countries jointly drafted a document to promote the process of European monetary integration, formally incorporating European monetary integration into daily life.

At this time, the Bald Eagle was making trouble inside, that is, the various internal struggles after Yugoslavia came to power.

It's mainly in Europe. People have no sense of historical identity with the current country. Each nation wants to occupy its own territory and be the master of its own destiny. There are all these in Niu Niu, Gaul, Italy, and Sandezi.

There is a huge contradiction here.

There were also various foreign forces involved. Faced with such a situation, Gaul Chicken and Taurus directly dispatched two aircraft carrier fleets to the Mediterranean.

The Gallic Rooster and the Taurus suggest that Yugoslavia should form a federal government.

Of course, some people certainly don't want to hear this advice, and then these two aircraft carrier fleets come in handy.

Faced with the two aircraft carrier fleets, all parties in Yugoslavia suddenly calmed down.

Then everyone sat down at the negotiating table and started yelling because the carrier fleet had again put an economic blockade on all flights and ground access to the country.

The conflicts in Europe are too great. Ethnic cleansing has occurred more than once or twice within each country. Sometimes, some weak ethnic groups use external forces to cleanse powerful ethnic groups within the country.

This was the case with World War I and World War II. In any case, the history of this part of Europe is unclear and no one knows who raised the butcher knife first.

The same is true in Eastern Europe. Ethnic minorities within a country have no sense of identity with that country.

These countries also bully ethnic minorities, and some of these ethnic minorities have connections with some foreign countries.

In fact, it is not just Europe, but also Southeast Asia and many Asian countries are the same.

Just like Southeast Asia, even until 2020, there are still some ethnic groups that want to be masters of their own destiny with the support of the West.

Some countries have also been misled by some people from abroad, including Gaoyuan.

When a country is strong, these people will lurk, and when the country is weak, they will jump out.

Every country has such people.

The bald eagle also unilaterally announced its recognition of the leadership of some of the countries, but the Gallic Rooster and the Taurus directly condemned the bald eagle's behavior as interference in Europe's internal affairs.

The excuse given by the Taurus and Gallic Rooster to the outside world is to prevent bloodshed and ethnic conflicts and maintain regional peace.

Although the bald eagle verbally acknowledged it, no one dared to jump out and take charge of this matter.

After all, there are two aircraft carrier fleets right under their noses, unless the Bald Eagle also sends two aircraft carrier fleets to support.

So everyone can only sit down and argue about this issue.

Liu Hai shook his head when he saw this situation. Europe is too unstable internally, and these will become a time bomb sooner or later.

It is hard to say who is right or wrong because the history involved is too complicated and no one can figure out the situation clearly.

In fact, the changes in Yugoslavia were also caused by economic downturn.

Yugoslavia used to be neutral, so this place used to be the exchange center for Fat Bear and Europe.

However, as the trade between Fat Bear and Europe gradually normalizes, Fat Bear no longer needs this as a springboard.

In the 80s, Yugoslavia's economic growth rate reached 6% because the fat bear's economic and trade exchanges with Europe used this place as a transit point.

In addition, Yugoslavia’s internal economic policy, that is, areas with good economies subsidize areas with poor economies, made those federations with good economies very dissatisfied.

Coupled with the ethnic conflicts in the country, this is the cause of the chaos.

This is just like the life of a married couple. As the saying goes, a poor couple will mourn for a hundred days. Most of the quarrels between couples are actually about expenses.

The Bald Eagle also announced that it would impose high tariffs on Panda phones and their communication systems, and issued huge fines to Panda phones.

Panda Mobile expressed strong protest against this!

Some countries in the East announced a suspension of food imports from Bald Eagle and shifted food quotas to South America.

Niu Niu also responded quickly. Niu Niu's House of Commons passed a vote to ban the deployment of foreign military forces in the country and required the Bald Eagle's troops to withdraw within three months.

This bill will soon be submitted to the House of Lords. If it is passed by the House of Lords, all the military personnel of Bald Eagle in Niu Niu will face the need to evacuate.

In addition, the Ministry of Justice of the United States discovered through relevant investigations that the bald eagle base had caused pollution to the United States' land, and the media in the United States claimed that this was deliberate poisoning.

Bald Eagle directly denied the Niu Niu Justice Department's investigation.

In April 1992, the anti-government armed forces formed by Lao Sa, who escaped from the Babylonian Kingdom, attacked the military base and crude oil facilities of the Babylonian Kingdom, Kotwe and Bald Eagle in Camel.

Affected by this incident, global crude oil prices rose again.

Crude oil prices are rising and global material prices are surging again.

Some Eastern countries announced the release of crude oil reserves to balance domestic prices.

This decision by some Eastern countries has kept the prices of materials exported by some Eastern countries at the original level.

Factories in Bald Eagle's country have planned to suspend or reduce production due to rising material prices.

Bald Eagle's domestic manufacturing sector saw share prices fall, and the Nasdaq index also fell.

Domestic capital is fleeing abroad.

In fact, in recent years, capital in the country of Bald Eagle has been fleeing abroad seriously, especially to Europe.

The rise of the Internet in Europe has attracted a large amount of capital from the Bald Eagle, as well as Bald Eagle's talents.

Because the number of people using the Internet has now exceeded 4 million, and experts predict that by the end of 1992, the number of people using the Internet should reach 5 million.

Of course, it is impossible to sell so many computers, because one computer can be used by many people. For example, the computers in an Internet cafe can be used by dozens of people.

Even Ford and Chrysler are planning to cut domestic production of Bald Eagle and increase production in certain Eastern countries.

Because of the fluctuations in domestic material and energy prices in Bald Eagle, this will lead to continuous increases in costs.

And Boeing had to raise the price of its aircraft due to rising material prices and electricity energy prices.

This has aroused dissatisfaction among global users, causing many users to turn their attention to Europe.

Because European aircraft manufacturers have not raised prices.

European passenger aircraft manufacturing companies all use aluminum alloy materials imported from certain Eastern countries.

The raw materials for the production of aluminum alloys in some Eastern countries are imported from Africa.

That is to say, the same cargo ship transports bauxite to certain countries in the East, and then transports the finished aluminum alloy to Europe.

A perfect cycle is formed, and so many interests are involved.

The Bald Eagle sent a lot of people to the Camel to express its determination to strike a strong blow against Lao Sa's terrorist attacks.

However, the Kingdom of Babylon refused to allow the Bald Eagle's people to enter its country, saying that we can deal with Old Sana on our own and there is no need for you, a bandit, to worry about it.

And sometimes some things are destined. During this period in history, there was chaos in Los Angeles, and some people in this time and space could not escape.

In April 1992, the chaos in Los Angeles was worse than ever in history, mainly due to the chaos in social security caused by the high unemployment rate.

In addition, the people of Bald Eagle often drink alcohol or take drugs, and they don’t know what they are doing at all.

Of course, historically this incident was actually misled by the Bald Eagle media.

The cause of this chaos in Los Angeles in history was just to catch a drunk driver, but the drunk driver resisted halfway, so four policemen took turns to take measures. However, the person who took the secret filming only filmed the second half and did not take the first half.

In order to generate publicity, the Bald Eagle media deleted some of the footage after getting it, and finally showed that four policemen took measures against some people of color who were drunk driving, which caused chaos among people of color in Los Angeles.

In history, dozens of people have died and tens of thousands have been arrested, and this time even more.

At first, these people attacked other people on the street, and it eventually turned into a huge riot, with burning, smashing and looting.

It is true that some people are difficult to manage.

Of course, no one in Bald Eagle’s government believes that the latter kind of robbery is actually legal.

As for the Middle East affairs, when Liu Hai saw the news, many of his doubts were resolved, that is, why did Niu Niu and Gallicus let Lao Sa leave in the first place? On the one hand, Lao Sa still has many die-hard fans.

If we defeat Lao Sa, his die-hard fans will be even more difficult to deal with when they are scattered, so it is better to let them go.

On the other hand, it may be possible to let Lao Sa take the blame, or even actively provide Lao Sa with some information or convenience.

Given Niu Niu's trouble-making personality, the darlings in the Middle East are lucky. They probably won't have a peaceful life in the future.

As for the Bald Eagle's energy layout in the Middle East, it depends on whether Saddam is happy. If he is unhappy, he will launch an attack at any time.

When big countries fight each other, small countries suffer, just like China, which is heavily dependent on imports for raw materials and energy.

Faced with the sudden chaos in the Middle East, Xiaobenzi’s domestic production plans were also disrupted.

The small country also had to release energy reserves to relieve domestic industry.

Because energy prices are rising, electricity prices will also rise, and so will other things.

Cost of living, cost of manufacturing.

This kind of fluctuation is very fatal to each company. Companies want to raise prices, but they have to consider the market. If they do not raise prices, they will lose money!

The fat goose is very happy about the rising energy prices, but some of the smaller brothers who did not produce energy before are in big trouble, because the rising energy prices mean that they have to export more in exchange for the same amount of energy.

Fat Goose saw that energy prices were rising, and the energy cooperation with some Eastern countries began to be shelved again.

Liu Hai laughed when he saw the news. History repeats itself!
But that's how countries are, there are only interests but no feelings.

In fact, Fat Goose does not wish for energy security in some countries, because energy security represents social stability.

Energy is the most basic thing nowadays. As long as the price goes up, the price of everything will go up.

Liu Hai also made a preliminary plan for his two long-term investment projects.

The first is to contract some uninhabited islands in the South China Sea to plant corals. Of course, the subsequent tourism development will definitely also belong to these coral planting companies.

To put it bluntly, if Liu Hai simply did a good deed by planting corals, no one knows who would have taken away the final benefits.

There are bound to be some people with connections who get something for nothing. There is no way to avoid this because there are always such people with connections in any era and any system.

It is better to keep these benefits in your own hands. Besides, since you have invested so much, this kind of long-term return is the most stable.

As long as you are not too cruel, it’s okay to be too cruel. Just look at how some scenic spots in 2020 treated tourists like fish.

People don't expect you to go a second time. With more than one billion people in the country, it is enough for 1/10 of them to go once.

So no matter if some people say you are too corrupt, they just won't change. They will still rip you off. You who come from outside the area still want to touch the local connections. Do you still want to get out?
Therefore, many people would rather go to other Southeast Asian countries to be ripped off than go to certain places, because being ripped off in a foreign country is not as painful as being ripped off by their compatriots at home.

And to be honest, going to some places in Southeast Asia is cheaper than many places in China.

The other is to plant trees in the desert. After these two plans are submitted, the relevant departments need to conduct relevant research and then reply to Liu Hai.

Because the relevant departments know that once Liu Hai wants to invest, funds will flow into these fields like a tide. Various supporting facilities, various supervisions, and legal support are all needed.

Liu Hai wouldn't do anything. He would get in the car first and then go through the formalities because something might go wrong.

Liu Hai knew in his life that many people were troubled by the need to get on the bus and then go through the formalities.

To put it bluntly, those who come later do not recognize the promises made earlier.

This is actually not the fault of those who came up later, because this kind of thing can be big or small.

The person in front took the honor and left the problem to the person behind. No one else would dare to make the decision.

Liu Hai's work was going smoothly, whether he was researching the fully electronic control system of fighter jets, or researching stealth materials and electromagnetics.

As for the matter with Fat Bear No. 2, his opponent has not yet reached the end of his rope, so it is still a little early to take action now.

However, freight trains to Europe have long been opened, with direct access to Amsterdam.

This is also the busiest freight train and because this freight train is so busy it is given more attention than ever before.

The public security on this railway line was very bad in history, but it is very good in this time and space.

Because both sides need the stable operation of this railway line.

Faced with the prosperous Eastern power, technical personnel from some countries after the split of the fat bear went to the Eastern power.

Because 90% of the daily necessities on the markets of these countries now come from the big Eastern countries.

What's more, these technicians have a natural liking for certain Eastern countries.

Of course, there are also some technicians who yearn for Western life. It depends on their own choice.

In fact, Western countries are also keeping a close eye on these high-level talents.

In order to avoid direct conflict with the West in this regard, some Eastern countries target the middle and lower classes.

Because no matter what it is, it needs to be produced by middle and lower-level technicians and skilled workers.

To put it bluntly, as long as all the workers in every link of the production line are sent over, the original production can be replicated.

In addition, some Eastern countries have strong technologies in aviation engines and rocket engines.

After all, we can produce fighter jets and large passenger aircraft, but China is much ahead in some professional fields. After all, they industrialized earlier than us.

However, Feixiong has been developing slowly in the past 10 to 20 years because a lot of its business has been taken away by certain countries.

For example, the various machines that Fat Bear sold the most in history are not selling very well in this time and space.

I was fooled again by the stealth fighter jets that some people brought out.

In the joint operation organized by Bald Eagle last year, the F117 showed huge shortcomings.

This thing needs a nanny to follow it because it has no radar and cannot fly at supersonic speed.

Even the 117-like stealth fighter jointly developed by Niu Niu and Blast Furnace Machinery has cancelled the remaining unfulfilled orders.

In May 1992, Liu Hai looked at his former father-in-law lying on the hospital bed.

Xiaoyun, Dabao, Erbao and so on are all here.

My ex-father-in-law's health suddenly deteriorated. I thought it was just a cold, but it turned out to be getting worse.

"Xiao Hai, it seems like I'm back to the way I was when I first met you." The former father-in-law was lying on the hospital bed, holding Liu Hai's hand with his skinny hand.

"Dad!" Liu Hai felt very heavy-hearted. Although he knew that this was how life was and that he would constantly see his elders pass away, he felt very uncomfortable when things really came to this point.

"Let's drink the ginseng soup first!" With an attitude of giving it a try, Liu Hai took out the thousand-year-old ginseng that he had treasured before. This ginseng was cultivated in the aircraft carrier space.

I haven't found a chance to use Liu Hai myself, so I don't have to worry about being tracked if I take him out now.

Because the factory had given Liu Hai a lot of these things before.

So even if Liu Hai took it out now, no one could find out where this ginseng came from.

There were times in the past when I wanted to take out my bangs, like more than 20 years ago, but at that time I couldn’t because I couldn’t tell where they came from.

Besides, at that time, there were professional teams serving us. Even if we took out the thousand-year-old ginseng, they might not use it if we didn't tell them clearly.

Because they are a professional team, they definitely used ginseng, but if they want to explain that it is thousand-year-old ginseng, they can’t explain the source.

But it doesn’t matter now. On the one hand, I can give it to my father-in-law, I can make the decision myself, and I can watch my father-in-law drink it with my own eyes.

On the other hand, the source is difficult to trace now. After all, who knows when the ginseng was given after so many years?

After all, Liu Hai had some ginseng in his hands, and some he also gave away.

Liu Hai believed that when the relevant departments gave him ginseng in the past, they certainly did not take photos for archiving.

It doesn't matter if you just take photos for archiving, you have already sliced ​​the thousand-year-old ginseng.

Unless they have preserved the biological genetic characteristics of each ginseng in the past, of course this is a bit fantasy and simply impossible.

To go into more detail, the genetic characteristics of ginseng should be the same. Of course, there may be differences between ginseng from different years, but we have not discovered it.

"I know my body. My life is worth it. I was a second-generation rich in the first half of my life, and a first-generation rich in the second half." My former father-in-law was a little at a loss for words.

"We will be father-in-law and son-in-law in the next life. I will raise my daughter early and wait for you to propose marriage." The former father-in-law said half-jokingly while drinking ginseng tea, because the atmosphere was a bit serious now, all the family members, young and old, were here, just waiting for him to leave.

"Okay!" Liu Hai felt even more upset when he saw the whole family waiting here.

"Xiao Yun!" After the former father-in-law drank the ginseng tea, he called Xiao Yun to his side.

"father!"

"After I leave, you must take good care of your mother."

"Dad, you will get better!" Xiaoyun said in a crying voice.

Xiaoyun is the most favored among the children and receives the most love from his father.

"Dabao, Erbao, and little Sanbao!" The former father-in-law called Dabao and Erbao over again.

"Grandpa!"

"Grandpa!" Dabao, Erbao, the third little one, as well as Amin, Atong, and Dabao and Erbao's children.

"it is good!"

"Okay!" The former father-in-law looked at his relatives reluctantly, but he knew his own body and couldn't say anything, so he could only say "Okay".

"Zuzu, you're going to be fine!"

"Zuzu, when you get better, you have to take us to the playground!"

"it is good!"

"I'll take you to the playground when I get better!" The former father-in-law touched the eldest and second children one by one.

"Don't be sad. You should be happy at my age, and I haven't suffered much." The former father-in-law looked at his relatives and felt very reluctant, but he knew that he had to go.

Liu Hai came to the outside of the ward, and the attending doctor shook his head and said, "The old man had a physical examination just last year and there was nothing wrong with him, but this time the examination found cancer cells, and they are spreading quite fast."

"So how long will it take?" Liu Hai asked with a heavy heart.

"It's hard to say. It could be a few days or a few years. We have observed some patients with advanced cancer whose longest survival time can reach more than ten years, but some only survive for a dozen days or even a few months."

"It depends on each person's physical condition. The longest record we have observed is more than 10 years, but the old man is a little weak."

"Excuse me, doctor!" Liu Hai also knew that doctors were not omnipotent.

Moreover, each doctor's treatment plan is different. Some people are suitable for this treatment plan, but some are not. If some patients are suitable for this treatment plan, then their survival period will be extended.

"Brother Hai!" Xiaoyun also came out of the ward. Because the old man was old and sick, it was not appropriate to disturb him too much.

But as a relative, we are afraid that the old man will fall asleep.

"Oh!" Liu Hai hugged Xiaoyun. At this time, one of the richest women in the world was no longer the strong woman, but a daughter who was about to lose her father.

After everyone came out, they were all in a heavy mood, especially Dabao and Erbao.

At the beginning, my father-in-law took Xiaoyun and Dabao to Hong Kong Island, and Erbao lived with my father-in-law for the longest time.

"Don't be sad, everyone. We will all take this path in the future." Liu Hai saw that everyone was in a heavy mood, so he spoke.

"Take the children back first. I'll call you if anything happens." Liu Hai decided to let everyone go back.

"I'll stay here with you." Xiaoyun felt very sad now, because her old father's health was failing rapidly. He was feeling very uncomfortable and was about to die. She had originally thought that it was just a minor illness.

"Okay!" Liu Hai nodded. There was a place to rest here anyway.

After the children went back, Liu Hai saw his former father-in-law had fallen into a deep sleep. He was very worried, fearing that he had fallen asleep all of a sudden.

"Brother Hai!" Xiaoyun asked worriedly when she saw Liu Hai coming out of the ward, even though she had just come out.

"Fell asleep."

"Don't be too sad. If an old man passes away in his sleep like this, it's actually another kind of blessing!"

"Brother Hai, although I knew this day would come, when it came, I felt so upset."

"You still have mom. Even if dad has something to do, I hope you and mom will be fine."

"Brother Hai, who do you think will walk in front of us? I'm afraid you will walk in front of me."

"Everyone has to walk this path. Besides, even if I walk ahead of you, I still have children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren!"

“Brother Hai…!” Xiaoyun lay directly in Liu Hai’s arms and started sobbing.

Liu Hai also sighed. What did he and Xiaoyun say at the beginning? In fact, he had some bad intentions because there were many secrets at the beginning and it was impossible to get married properly.

But at that time, I was still very weak and had no way to change anything.

From this point of view, I feel a little guilty towards Xiaoyun.

Of course, for most people of that era, the relationship between husband and wife was actually a process from strangers to acquaintances and then to relatives.

Love did not exist in that era.

Fortunately, everyone’s life is good now. Xiaoyun has her own career, children, and grandchildren. She has achieved success in both career and life.

"Why don't you go back first, your work there is more important!" Xiaoyun was worried about Liu Hai's work.

"I can actually retire now, but I still have some things to finish, most of which are leadership work." Liu Hai shook his head.

Ginseng is destined to be used only by people around you.

Even if the old leader himself wants to give it to the old leader, it probably has to go through the relevant department. It's not that you can just take anything and give it to the old leader, especially when he is in poor health.

Of course, this thing cannot be made public. Once it is made public, I don’t know how many people will be watching it.

If this thing is useful and can really prolong life, even with Liu Hai's current huge influence, maybe he will do that!
Because no one can refuse to live longer, except those who don't want to live anymore.

"Go to sleep first. I'll call you when dad wakes up."

"I can't sleep. I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, I won't be able to see my father for the last time." Xiaoyun shook her head.

The attending physician also felt it was a difficult situation because the treatment was divided into conservative treatment and other treatment methods.

The old man was already very old, and if he had been treated with other methods, he might have died immediately.

But if we use conservative treatment, no one knows the effect.

Liu Hai didn’t know what to say, so he just said to observe first.

Liu Hai and Xiao Yun stayed up all night, and his father-in-law's vital signs remained stable.

When my father-in-law woke up the next day, he realized that he had slept for eight or nine hours.

"Dad!" Xiaoyun saw that his father had woken up.

"Xiao Hai, help me go to the toilet first!" said the father-in-law as he was about to get up.

"Let's do it here!" Liu Hai was about to get something for his father-in-law.

"I want to take a few steps!" The father-in-law was also feeling confused. Yesterday he seemed to have no strength in his body, but today he seemed to have strength.

But I'm not sure because I slept for so long.

After going to the toilet, my father-in-law felt hungry again and ate a bowl of porridge. He felt even hungrier, but he didn't dare to eat too much.

"Doctor?" Liu Hai and Xiao Yun looked at the doctor and asked what the doctor would say.

"This?" The doctor was also full of questions about the old man's improved condition.
