2084

Nanle Street, the mansion of a large family, with blue bricks and red paint.

Except for the prime minister who lives in the Westminster Palace, all the core figures of power in country H live here. This place occupies a very large area, and the houses are single-family. The buildings with a sense of history are equipped with top-level security systems and smart services. .Because it is mid-spring, the rows of magnolia trees contain flower buds, and the well-trimmed trees make them look more delicate and elegant.

When Qi Siming passed by the mansion of the cabinet minister Bo Qi, he took a second look. Compared with Mr. Bo's solemnity, Qi Hongshan and Tan Qing's house was obviously more like a young couple's love nest.

There was a large front yard in front of their house. When Qi Siming arrived, he saw a small water spraying robot working on the lawn.

The robot walks and looks a bit like an old-fashioned sweeping robot, but it can be seen from the walking path that it has a high level of intelligence. When watering each plant, it is changing the appropriate water spray angle, flow rate and time.

When Tan Qing opened the door, Qi Siming looked back at the little machine, and casually read the dragon and phoenix logo on it, "PreDrop, you have a good vision."

Tan Qing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's the technology products you invest in that are good and never disappoint."

Qi Siming invested in PreDrop, a small robotics company, at the very earliest stage.

Borrowing the concept of agricultural precision irrigation, the product can intelligently test the soil humidity and plant height, and even be connected with the weather forecast to determine whether to spray water on that day.

But in the final analysis, this is actually just a trick. Qi Siming has made countless successful investments. PreDrop is not the most profitable and famous one, but people found that this product can save nearly 95% of watering. When it was launched in the market that year In order to save water, many communities have actively subsidized the residents to buy this kind of water spraying robot. Therefore, it was almost a star product used by the whole people.

However, when it comes to the whole people, the residents of Nanle Street are not people, so Qi Siming can't help but take a closer look.

"I heard from Sequoia that you were canvassing votes in the parliament yesterday, what's the matter? Are you really planning to go back?"

Qi Siming first went to the nursery to take a look at Er Bao who was sleeping soundly, and then the two of them backed out quietly and went into the kitchen to serve dishes, "I was kicked out of the company, how could I go back immediately, I'm still here Stay longer."

Tan Qing made a sharp cut, "Which kind of onion is Draghi, with an unstable foundation, and dare to force the crown prince?"

"Don't say that, he has made a lot of contributions, both internally and externally to make money for my family—" Qi Siming said indifferently, "Besides, it's the same for me here, after all, business cannot be separated from the government."

Tan Qing laughed at him, "Don't come here, even if you ask for money, you won't devote yourself to politics."

The family butler at the feet was carrying two plates of meals, and had walked back and forth a few times, only the two of them were holding wine and the other holding cold dishes and chatting slowly. Qi Siming looked at her intelligent robot interestingly, probably because there were two For the sake of a baby, its shape is designed to be a little brown bear.

Ten years ago, he would still be shocked when he saw a little demon, but in the past ten years, smart home butlers have been widely popularized. They are like water and electricity in the house, a necessity for house appliances, and a member of the family.

Qi Siming didn't answer her, but suddenly said to her, "I'm in love."

Tan Qing froze for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "Who? Do I know him?"

Qi Siming poked the robot bear, "I know,"

How could he not know each other? Qi Siming dare not forget that when he was young and frivolous, Tan Qing chased Ling Yan with enthusiasm.

"I'll bring him to dinner when it's stable—by the way, what's it called?"

Qi Siming's topic jumped too fast, Tan Qing didn't react, "Huh? It?"

"No name? I thought tech lovers would give their smart butlers a name."

While the two of them were talking, the huge screen in the living room suddenly turned on automatically and started broadcasting the news.

The two of them were alarmed and couldn't help walking over.

That piece of news broadcast should be written by a robot, with a straightforward narrative and complete elements. The report said: Country R sued Country H for intellectual property violations of WTO principles on March 3 local time, and formally signed a presidential memorandum on economic sanctions against Country H for "economic aggression" , Large-scale tariffs will be imposed on commodities imported from country H, and the scale of domestic products designed to be taxed can reach 2 billion yuan.

Listening to the news, Tan Qing sighed leisurely, "Raising tariffs at will and then suing our country, while violating WTO principles and then resorting to WTO - now country R is really getting more and more shameless."

In the news footage, the Minister of Finance is holding a press conference, claiming that he will retaliate against country R in the same way.

"There is a lot of room for the industries of the two countries to complement each other. If the gods fight, we will be slandered by accident. Be careful with the investment business in your hand, and don't be affected by Chiyu..."

The two were talking at the dinner table when Qi Hongshan came back.

He was in a hurry, it seemed that he came home on purpose to have a meal with Qi Siming, Tan Qing got up to take off his suit for him, changed his tone unconsciously, and complained that he came back late, Qi Hongshan was also helpless, "Don't mention it, the management committee is busy... Hey."

This item, just as he was about to go to the table, Tan Qing pushed him from behind, his wife had no choice but to wash his hands first.

People say that husband and wife are of the same mind, how could Qi Siming not know what Tan Qing meant by inviting him here? He has been friends with Qi Hongshan for many years and never played Tai Chi with Qi Hongshan.

"I'm sorry for the proposal yesterday, but who doesn't know that Utopia's human body management has reached its peak. You have top-notch network engineers and biologists. If you have to compete with the market for home smart management, then you probably won't. What happened to my water-spraying robot-these industries are followed by countless people's jobs, Utopia can't let us starve to death."

Qi Hongshan frowned, "Siming, you're wrong, it's not the reason why I'm looking for you—or, it's not just the reason"

"—To tell you the truth, the management committee has made four proposals from March last year to now, none of which have been passed. The staff of the Congress closed part of the authorization for Utopia—this person is Ling Yan, and I also heard from Ah Qing that you and Ling Yan had an old friend, so I thought of inviting you here—I don’t know where I offended this Chief of Staff, I’m afraid you saw yesterday, how far he can go to make the Utopia bill fail.”

Although Qi Hongshan is the chairman of the management committee, he still needs to be responsible to the other seven directors. Utopia's proposals are frequently rejected. This is not a good sign for re-election. No wonder he is so impatient.

Qi Siming glanced at Tan Qing calmly, thinking that she kept silent about her relationship with Ling Yan, probably to avoid suspicion in front of her husband.

Qi Siming tapped the tableware to save Tan Qing's face.After thinking about it for a while, "There...is there any misunderstanding here? If the management committee's proposal conflicts with the interests of the party, Ling Yan will inevitably have a position on some matters. It doesn't mean he deliberately made things difficult, right?"

"I wouldn't talk nonsense if I didn't have evidence. Four months ago, there was a proposal related to medical treatment. You know, medical treatment is the foundation of Utopia. At first, I was afraid of accidents, so I contacted the cabinet first. However, on the day of voting, someone turned her around, and I found someone to contact those people who also revealed to me that it was none other than Ling Yan—"

Qi Siming looked at Qi Hongshan.He is not a person who is easily touched, and he has doubts about many things, "I am probably ignorant. Can a young member of Congress have such great energy?"

This kind of thing about management.

"Ordinary councilors certainly don't, but for councilors who have close ties with the Central, it's not too much to say that they are high and powerful. To be honest, I have contacted this councilor several times in private, but it is very difficult to make an appointment. Without oil and salt, there is no progress at all—heh”

As he spoke, he shook his head with a rather helpless look, "Who would have thought of that? It turned out to be just a private secretary of the Speaker of the National Assembly, with a very low salary, similar to a servant of a high-ranking official, who served tea and water every day and could not complain , was favored during the internship period, and had a scandal with the speaker, who would have known that once he gained power, he would rise to the top..."

Qi Hongshan just said it casually, but unexpectedly a word hurt Qi Siming.

The corner of his eyes twitched, and his voice was three points cold, "What are you talking about? What scandal?"
