Chapter 43
A Soaring GDP, Doubling in Two Years is No Longer a Pipe Dream!

“How are things going on the Dream side?”

After discussing Jimin, Xiao Yun Hai inquired about Dream.

Medicine is the core pillar industry, while tourism and entertainment are the branches.

“Your Highness, since *White Snake: Origin* is still showing in Europe and America, the specific revenue will not be clear until February.”

“In addition, the first *Zhu Xian* movie is currently in the final stage of personnel selection, and is expected to officially start filming in March.”

“According to the report from Mr. Han, the *Ghost Blows Out the Light* project has completed the scene design of Yunnan Insect Valley and Nanhai Return to the Ruins. These are some scene 3D renderings they submitted.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun Hai reached out and took the renderings, looking at them carefully.

It had to be said, they looked quite gloomy, just looking at the design drawings gave one a sense of horror.

“In addition, Mr. Han said they plan to first make an animated film, which is more efficient and doesn’t require waiting for live-action filming.”

“That’s fine, let them follow their own ideas, don’t consider my thoughts.”

Xiao Yun Hai said.

Compared to live-action films, which require extensive filming and sometimes need to build sets, they are indeed slow-paced. It takes at least half a year, and sometimes even a year and a half, while Dream, which has mastered top-notch special effects technology, does not need to hire actors for making animation, and is not affected by external factors. Naturally, the production speed is faster. Three months for an animated film is not bragging.

In his opinion, it's good to warm up with an animated film first, to hype up the IP first.

Create an Eastern world's “Mummy” series of movies.

“By the way, Universal wants to cooperate with Dream. Tell Han Peng that we can cooperate, but the condition is that Universal agrees to permanently authorize the Jurassic Park IP, or sell the IP to us.”

In fact, in his opinion, the most suitable for building a theme park is Jurassic Park.

Especially after he has mastered a lot of bionic technology.

He really wants to use the Jurassic Park IP to create a dinosaur-themed island resort.

He is confident that once it is done, it will definitely become one of the most popular theme parks in the world.

“Yes, Your Highness, I will tell Mr. Han.”

Lin Na nodded in response, her pen quickly recording it down.

Then, she inquired about the progress of the military research base, and learned that it would not be officially completed and delivered until May next year.

Xiao Yun Hai nodded, this was not something that could be rushed.

Even if they were working overtime day and night, the project was so large after all.

...

Time flew by and it was January 22, 2010, with just over ten days left before the Spring Festival.

The cabinet meeting was held as scheduled.

Economic conditions from all over the country were also reported truthfully.

In Xin Han, numbers like GDP were required to have an error rate of no more than one thousandth. Lying, local officials in charge of statistics would be sentenced to at least one year and no more than three years.

In addition to local reports, various departments in the cabinet responsible for GDP statistics would also conduct random checks.

Under this supervision system, the reported GDP basically did not have any significant errors.

At this time, the palace.

The Council Chamber.

Dozens of cabinet ministers and members gathered together, with Xiao Yun Hai sitting beside his father.

After some pleasantries, Xiao Hong Jing, with a smile on his face, said; “In the past year, our Xin Han Kingdom has been receiving good news one after another, and we have made great progress in some areas, laying the foundation for economic development. Now, we will have Director Wu to talk to everyone about the overall economic changes in Xin Han in the past year.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Wu Sen Yuan, Director of the National Statistics Bureau, who was called out, reached for the microphone in front of him and began to speak.

“With the hard work of our thousands of statistics bureau employees, we have sorted out the economic situation of our country last year, and it has grown significantly.”

“Last year, our country’s GDP reached 308.7 billion Han Yuan, this year our country’s GDP reached 447.7 billion Han Yuan, an increase of 139 billion Han Yuan. Based on the annual average exchange rate (3.27 Han Yuan = 1 USD, due to the increase in foreign exchange reserves and the discovery of oil, the currency appreciated), it is approximately 136.911 billion USD, an increase of 55.17% year-on-year, among which the pharmaceutical industry has shown significant growth.”

“In the last three months, it has achieved tens of times growth, reaching a scale of over 34 billion Han Yuan, accounting for 7.1% of GDP!”

“In addition, agricultural output value has increased slightly, reaching 57.7 billion Han Yuan, forestry is 5.8 billion Han Yuan, fisheries are 21.3 billion Han Yuan, and fruit industry has grown significantly, reaching 28.8 billion Han Yuan...”

“Urban investment and tourism industry have grown significantly, with urban investment reaching 93.3 billion Han Yuan and tourism industry reaching 1.9 billion Han Yuan...”

“The service industry grew by 7.1% year-on-year, reaching 142.2 billion Han Yuan...”

“......”

Inside the meeting room.

A string of numbers appeared on the big screen.

Compared to the previous crude recitation of numbers, this big-screen display and statistical chart were more intuitive.

The cabinet members attending the meeting were engrossed.

Especially when they saw the increase in the pharmaceutical industry, everyone smiled.

No one expected that the oil industry hadn’t even started production, but the pharmaceutical industry turned out to be a dark horse, and the Crown Prince’s pharmaceutical company had actually developed a weight-loss drug.

Seeing the year-on-year growth reaching 55.17%, everyone was excited.

The economy grew so much without oil extraction yet, after the Spring Festival, in March, when offshore oil in Jeddah Bay is officially extracted, the economy next year will undoubtedly grow even brighter.

In short, the future is bright.

Thinking about this, everyone showed a happy smile on their face.

After all, they also had a share in this dazzling achievement.

After Wu Sen Yuan finished his explanation, warm applause erupted in the meeting room.

“This is unexpected, the pharmaceutical company alone contributed more than 30 billion Han Yuan to GDP, no wonder European and American companies love to do technology, this is too significant for economic benefits.”

“Yes, the Crown Prince returned to the country not long ago, and he brought out a pharmaceutical giant. This is the rise of our country.”

“I heard that the hottest animation today is also made by the prince’s company.”

“Is that so? I heard that this animated film is very popular, they say this movie can reach 700 million USD in global box office.”

...

Everyone’s face was filled with joyful smiles.

Xiao Hong Jing raised his hand and stopped the discussion in the meeting room, smiling slightly, “Everyone, in the past year, Xin Han has been able to develop so rapidly, it is inseparable from your efforts.

However, the glory of the past belongs to the past, a new year is coming, I hope everyone can continue to work hard and build Xin Han into a completely prosperous country...”

After Xiao Hong Jing said some platitudes, his eyes fell on Xiao Yun Hai, as if asking if he wanted to say anything.

Xiao Yun Hai shook his head, compared to pie-in-the-sky promises and encouragement, he preferred to get things done.
