met Gao Jianguo and Qiao Haipeng, two old people, Li Ming couldn't leave them alone to practice, so he could only accompany them slowly. Lian Hong was riding leisurely, and when he looked back, Lao Qiao actually stopped, and was just about to get angry when he saw Li Ming and Gao Jianguo.

"Sister-in-law, go back, I'll watch Lao Qiao for you today and make sure he reaches the level of exercise."

Lian Hong smiled and said, "Hehe...... I didn't look at him, it was Lao Qiao himself who took the initiative to ask for a morning run, then you run slowly, I'll go back and prepare breakfast for Lao Qiao first. ”

After she finished speaking, she rode the car and flashed people, which made Lao Qiao's face full of bitterness.

"Paralyzed, I can't live this day. Lian Hong made a fitness plan for me, not only did I have to jog in the morning and evening, but also asked Xiao Zhongliang for a healthy recipe, which is a recipe, give me a carrot for dinner, it's like letting Lao Tzu be a rabbit. ”

Gao Jianguo patted Qiao Haipeng's shoulder with deep sympathy, and said with a bitter face: "Old Qiao, I'm even more miserable, Xiao Heizi assigned me a medical team, he personally monitored my physical condition every day, there were recipes, exercise plans, and also monitored me to avoid smoking and drinking. ”

Li Ming listened to the two old men complaining to each other, and he was already so happy that he couldn't do it.

But he couldn't laugh in person, so he could only comfort the two and said: "Then you should exercise well and strive to adjust your body well, you are not joking at your age, you really have to pay attention to your body." ”

Accompanying the two old people for a morning run, it is really not an ordinary depression. didn't say anything about running slowly, and had to listen to the two of them complain, which made Li Ming feel awkward.

Li Ming returned home and had breakfast, and the carriage that took him to work had stopped at the door. Li Ming walked out of the house, and the secretary Xiao Zhang came up to take the bag in his hand, and then followed Li Ming into the carriage.

"Chief, today's schedule is quite tight. In the morning you will attend a meeting of the Board of Directors, at 10 o'clock you will go to Zhenhua Middle School to inspect it, at noon there will be a banquet, in the afternoon you will meet with the heads of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Mission, and at 3 o'clock the Military Committee will ask you to come to a meeting, and in the evening you will attend a dinner to welcome the envoy of the Kingdom of Portugal. ”

Li Ming flipped through the documents while holding them. While listening to the secretary Xiao Zhang talk about today's schedule.

After the secretary finished speaking, he nodded and said, "Let's push the banquet at noon, let's go to the preparatory team of the Central Garrison Corps." I haven't been there to see it in this time, and I don't know how they're progressing now. ”

"Yes, I'll arrange it in a moment......"

Since Li Ming returned to Shenyang, his daily work schedule is full. Not only him, but several members of the Standing Committee of the Board of Directors are the same.

As the company grows larger, so does the work. Now Gao Jianguo, Wang He and others have also consciously handed over a lot of work to Li Ming. This made Li tomorrow so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.

Li Ming just pushed open the door of the company's small conference room. It was found that the house was full of smoke, and Gao Jianguo, Wang He and others were already sitting there. Gao Jianguo and Qiao Haipeng were smoking happily with a cigarette in their mouths.

"Old Gao. Why are you and Old Joe still smoking, be careful that I report you ......"

Gao Jianguo heard this and hurriedly said: "Brother, you have pity on us, from yesterday to now, we are about to be suffocated, and we have only smoked one at this time." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, and the current medical department of the company. A physical examination was conducted for internal employees over the age of 50, and as a result, dozens of people were found to have problems.

In fact, the company conducts physical examinations for employees twice a year. However, in the past, employees were basically reminded to consciously comply and a medical team was dispatched to follow up. But the effect is much worse, after all, how can the medical team manage a group of leaders, most of them have been sent away by the leaders by various means.

But this time the physical examination was presided over by "Xiao Heizi" himself, and the result was completely different. Dozens of veteran comrades who were recruited. All of them were called over by Xiao Zhongliang to talk in person, and handed over the cases of these people to the board committee, and made a detailed recovery plan for everyone.

Although everyone is complaining, they are really helpless in the face of the aggressive Xiao Zhongliang.

The Far East Company has a personal nickname that is more famous. One is Gao Jianguo's "black-faced god", even the internal employees of the company's civil affairs committee dare not come nonsense in front of him, and they have to pay great attention to him when they see him. Not to mention the Military Commission, half of them were his soldiers back then.

The other is Xiao Zhongliang's "Xiao Heizi", who is currently the president of the General Hospital of the Military Commission and concurrently serves as the deputy head of the internal affairs working group. There are only a handful of people in the company who dare to argue with Gao Jianguo in person, and he is definitely one, famous for being stinky and hard.

After chatting a few words, everyone returned to the main topic, and Wang He spoke first: "The ship of the Portuguese envoy arrived at Yingkou Port yesterday, and it is estimated that it will arrive in Shenyang at noon today. According to the information sent back by Albert, the head of the European intelligence station, Joao, the Duke of Braganza, claimed the right to inherit the Portuguese throne and led the rebellion, which was widely supported by the Portuguese. At this time, Spain was fighting with France and failed to react in time. It also made João succeed in ascending the throne as the first monarch of the Braganza dynasty and becoming João IV.

Although Portugal gained de facto independence in 1640, Spain continued to deny it for the next 28 years, and did not formally accept Portuguese independence until 1668. The two countries then engaged in a 28-year war of liberation. The Treaty of Lisbon was concluded in 1668, in which Spain returned all of Portugal's former territories and overseas possessions, with the exception of Ceuta.

In 1657, João died, and Spain attempted to regain Portugal from the new Portuguese monarch Alfonso VI. However, Spain was defeated by the Portuguese at the Battle of Améjal in 1663 and the Battle of Monteth Clarus in 1665. Finally, Spain recognized the independence of Portugal in 1668.

In the late 17th century, Spain was in complete decline. The bureaucratic system established by charismatic, hardworking and intelligent Charles I and Philip II required strong, hard-working monarchs. However, the weakness and lack of political power of the successors Philip III and Philip IV caused the country to begin to decline.

Portugal took advantage of Spain's setback to expand its power again and established a colony in Brazil. Recovering some of the disadvantages. After development, Brazil brought a lot of gold, precious stones and other goods to Portugal, which revitalized the economy of the Kingdom of Portugal. However, in the face of other emerging maritime powers such as the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, Portugal's colonies began to shrink, and many colonies were taken away one after another. ”

Gao Jianguo nodded and said: "Judging from the current situation, it is still necessary for us to support Portugal and establish a moderate development relationship with them." (To be continued.) )
