"OK."
Hearing Ling Zhou's instructions, Tex nodded without hesitation.
He himself was somewhat suspicious of the Dashan Group. After all, the scandal of that company was well known to everyone in the industry. Although it was later proved to be a rumor, as Ling Zhou said, there is no smoke without fire.
In addition, this time he was working for Prince Lingzhou, so he was extremely picky about every procedure.
However, because someone had whispered in his ear, and Dashan Construction Company was indeed qualified to take on this project, he reported to Lingzhou today on the bidding for the Sailboat Hotel and included Dashan Construction Company in the list.
Unexpectedly, Ling Zhou had also heard about the scandals of Dashan Construction.
In that case, he would naturally listen to Ling Zhou.
In fact, as a world-renowned designer, he knew in his heart that the scandals of Dashan Construction Company were most likely true.
Afterwards, Tex reported to Ling Zhou the key points regarding the preparations for the construction of the Sailboat Hotel.
When there were some problems that Tekes couldn't solve, Ling Zhou casually came up with a solution, and then instructed Chen Yiru to help Tekes solve the problem.
Chen Yiru stood aside, holding a notebook in his hand, taking notes quickly.
Half an hour later, Tex left Silver Beach Villa.
Let Chen Yiru send Tekes away, Ling Zhou opened the system again,
[Conviction rate mission reward: Calculating...]
When Ling Zhou saw this prompt, he felt dizzy. How long are you going to calculate until?
It's been half a month.
"Your Highness, Her Highness asks you to return to the palace this afternoon."
Chen Yiru walked over and said.
"Return to the palace?"
Ling Zhou was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and said, "Okay."
…
In the afternoon, Ling Zhou returned to the palace and came to his sister Ling Lanxin's courtyard.
"Brother, do you know that since the founding of Lanling, there has never been an example of intermarriage. Even our mother was born in an ordinary wealthy family in Lanling. Do you know why father decided to let you get engaged to Qiao Yu this time?"
In a small courtyard planted with various precious flowers and plants, Ling Lanxin held Ling Zhou's arm, sat on a hanging chair, and spoke softly.
Ling Zhou was stunned and a little confused.
Then, his heart was shocked.
"Aslan is a peninsula country located in the Aslan Peninsula in southern Europe. The Aslan Peninsula has rich forest resources, as well as mineral resources such as coal and oil. The oil resources owned by the Kingdom of Aslan are at least 10 times more than our Lanling. The Aslan royal family used these rich mineral resources to create a financial kingdom. The economic foundation is very strong. Could it be..."
Ling Lan was stunned. She didn't expect her brother to be so smart.
Immediately, she smiled with relief and said, "Brother, you thought of it? Yes, the purpose of the marriage with Ya Silan is to reach a 10-year cooperation with the Ya Silan royal family. This cooperation involves trillions of dollars. If it succeeds, our Lanling will have no worries about the economy for a hundred years."
Ling Zhou's heart was shocked again.
Could it be that the economy of Lanling Kingdom has reached that point?
"Sister, our Lanling's economy isn't that bad, right?"
Ling Zhou tried to ask.
In his opinion, the rumors that Lanling's economy was in a slump were nothing more than rumors after several months of investigation.
Lanling's financial situation is indeed not good, but it is not as exaggerated as rumored by the outside world.
At least on the surface, Lan Ling is still glorious.
"The situation in Lan Ling is not as bad as the outside world says, but it is not good either."
Ling Lanxin shook her head and said, "Due to various factors, the exchange rate of our Lanling currency has continued to fall, and the government is under great pressure. Our royal family's reserve funds are also gradually subsidizing government fiscal expenditures. In short, the economic situation of our Lanling is indeed not optimistic."
Ling Zhou nodded, then became confused.
Since Lan Ling's financial situation is already so grim, why does his father still allow himself to squander like this?
How could he allow himself to squander the 15 billion US dollars left by Ling Hai?
15 billion US dollars is not a small amount!
This is already the annual GDP income of many small countries.
As if she could see her brother's confusion, Ling Lanxin smiled and said, "I have to say that Ling Hai left behind 50 billion in assets, which benefited our royal family a lot. Later, when we cashed out 15 billion US dollars, father originally wanted you to use it all for charity."
Ling Zhou was speechless. How could he do charity when his family could barely make ends meet?
And it's a $15 billion charity.
"In fact, my father proposed to do charity in order to plan for Lan Ling's future economy."
Ling Lanxin said with a smile.
Ling Zhou exhaled and nodded, knowing it would be like this.
However, has the country's economy become so bad that it can only be saved by forming an alliance with another country?
"Sister, since our Lanling's economic situation is not optimistic, why is the Yaslan royal family still willing to marry us?"
Ling Zhou asked doubtfully.
"It's just that everyone has their own needs."
Ling Lanxin smiled and said, "We need the funds of the Yaslan Royal Family, and the Yaslan Royal Family needs our military strength and related technologies."
As she spoke, she sighed again, "After all, we in Lanling are still blessed by our ancestors. If it weren't for the strong military foundation and advanced technology left by our ancestors, our royal family would probably..."
Ling Zhou nodded, although he still didn't understand what the most powerful foundation of the Lanling royal family was.
However, after several months of understanding the military affairs of the Lanling Kingdom, he also knew something.
Lan Ling has no shortage of the most advanced fighter jets, submarines, aircraft carrier fleets, etc. in the world today.
It can be said that, apart from its foundation that intimidates countries around the world, the Kingdom of Lanling is also a military power in the Asia-Pacific region.
Because of the foundation, Lanling has developed many advanced technologies with the help of the foundation. Some technologies are comparable to or even surpass those of the United States.
To be honest, if Lan Ling was willing to sell his technology, it would be enough to allow Lan Ling to live comfortably for decades.
Of course, Lan Ling wouldn't be stupid enough to sell technology.
It has to be said that the rapid economic decline of Lanling is closely related to the huge amount of money invested every year in the research and development of new military technologies.
Sometimes Ling Zhou just couldn’t understand. Since the Lanling Kingdom already had the foundation to shock the world, why didn’t it develop the economy instead of developing so many military technologies?
Of course, I believe that with my father's overall perspective, he will not do anything in vain.
Ling Lanxin looked at her brother, smiled, and said, "If you really don't like Qiao Yu and have other favorites, you can tell father. To be frank, there are many royal families willing to marry our Lan Ling. The Ya Si Lan Kingdom is just one of the most suitable choices."
