[Chapter Word Count:3544 Last Updated:2014-10-0807:00:00.0]

Xiao Le was born to be angry by Hua Ruohan's words, and said in his heart, "You are a diplomat, and what kind of morality do you still have? Why didn't you think about morality when you accompanied Britain and France to the Qing Dynasty?

"The minister's understanding really surprises me, this is a very normal business, how can you connect with crime and conspiracy, brother, isn't what I am doing to regulate the financial market of the Qing Dynasty?

Xiao Lotian looked very polite and respectful on the surface, but in his heart he had already cursed: "You old profiteer, I don't believe you can't see how fat the meat and bones I throw at you? You Americans can open the commercial barriers of the Qing Dynasty without you Americans using military force, isn't this exactly what you dream of? This is not the way to pretend to be forced in negotiations, be careful of using too much force and break it." ”

Xiao Lotian didn't know that now Hua Ruohan's heart was churning, he didn't expect Xiao Letian to throw out the big cake of the Special Industrial Zone. His Excellency was really tempted, but he remembered clearly the telegram sent to him by His Excellency the President.

"For my personal favor, I will use my life to repay, but not to use my morality to make a transaction, my hands cannot support any careerist, may God bless Xiao Letian!"

With just such a one-sentence telegram, Warren immediately understood the subtext of President Lincoln. It's not that the president doesn't want to sell Xiao Letian these things, but he has to follow the legal procedures, this kind of business that is only for the government level, and it is absolutely impossible to buy it as a civilian with Xiao Letian.

Or moral cleanliness, this kind of famous political zhì family in history, its moral cleanliness is unimaginable to ordinary people, although a little stubborn but not admirable.

Minister Hua Ruohan still shook his head: "Mr. Xiao, let me tell you the truth, the president does not care about these conditions you want, this has no impact on the interests of the United States, on the contrary, as you said, there will be great benefits...... However, for His Excellency the President, the question of what status you buy is an important one......"

In the end, Minister Hua Ruohan gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "If you want to make a deal, there are only two conditions, first, you must get the transaction authorization letter from the Qing government, or you will become a high-ranking official at the level of governor, so that not to mention the flying clippers, even the warship can be considered to be sold to you......"

"On the other hand, you have to make sure that what you are doing is not a plot to subvert your home country, and if you find such a clue, the United States will immediately stop trading......"

Ay...... Xiao Lotian sighed. The United States at this time was completely different from the United States, which had experienced two world wars and was full of hegemonism. At this time, the United States was a country with a pioneering and innovative spirit, and even a country that was morally strict with itself, and it was a www.biquge.info of the future prosperity of a strong country.

In real history, the United States quickly became one of the most powerful countries on the planet in less than 50 years from the Civil War to World War I, relying on its vast territory and abundant resources, coupled with the fact that the immigrant country did not have any historical baggage.

After the end of World War I, the United States became the hegemon of the world and ranked first in the world in terms of comprehensive national strength. What is even more incredible is that after the end of World War I, isolationism prevailed in the United States, and until World War II, Americans had little interest in international affairs.

It wasn't until Pearl Harbor that the United States officially entered the war, and by that time World War II was already halfway there.

Xiao Letian has always had a feeling that the United States before World War II and the United States after World War II are completely different countries, and before World War II, the United States rarely reflected the image of hegemony in the world, and he was more like a young talent with rigorous morals. And after World War II, the United States has become a bad and obscene uncle, bullying men and women all over the world.

Now is not the time to think so far, Xiao Letian heard the taste of resoluteness in Hua Ruohan's tone, he knew that this should be the last condition of Mr. President, and the negotiations have reached an impasse here.

"Let me find Manchu Qing to get a power of attorney?or get the identity of a governor?" Xiao Letian looked at the minister with a wry smile, "How likely do you say these two things are?" Xiao Letian's question was also exchanged for Hua Ruohan's shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Finding the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces or Yi to ask for this kind of power of attorney is a complete joke, no different from suicide. And the governors of the Qing Dynasty are all powerful members of the first and second grades, and they are already the pinnacle of magistrates, so they want to be a lonely overseas guest with Xiao Letian, a second devil, not to mention the door, not even a window.

The silence in the box lasted for ten minutes, Xiao Letian thought carefully for a lot, and finally suddenly laughed: "Your Excellency, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet me, and please pay tribute to Mr. President on my behalf." As for His Excellency the President's request, I think I will be able to give you an answer in a month......"

At this time, Xiao Letian suddenly smiled thief, "I'm afraid the identity of the governor is very difficult, but I think I have the life of the prime minister, maybe I will talk to you about this business as the prime minister in a month......"

Hua Ruohan and Lewis were stunned at the time, they still thought that Xiao Letian was crazy, you are not even a nine-rank official now, and you still want to be a great minister? Besides, the Qing Dynasty did not have the official position of prime minister, could it be the minister of the Military Aircraft Department? This is even more nonsense, the governor can't be the governor and you still want to enter the military aircraft department?

Xiao Letian's first unofficial negotiations with the U.S. government ended in the confusion of the minister. When Warren and Lewis got into an inconspicuous Qing carriage escorted by embassy bodyguards and left, a panting young man suddenly ran on the other side of the long street.

"The shopkeeper's ...... The old shopkeeper's ...... Go and take a look......" After the young man ran to the door of the coastal building, he saw Xiao Lotian at a glance, the young man had fought in the mountain temple, of course he knew that this was the real big boss, and hurriedly went down with a thousand fights, "Please ...... Xiao Ye"

"Don't make so much false courtesy, hurry up and say what's wrong?" Fan Yao asked.

"Oh, the shopkeeper is not good, just now a dung truck suddenly turned over in front of our store, the street was full of pickles, we rushed out to reason, but a group of ruffians and hooligans came, and a fight had already started in three or two sentences......"

"Mixed ...... Didn't I tell you, the foreign bank hasn't opened yet, so don't you just pay for everything and dealing with these ruffians?"

"The shopkeeper is not good, I heard that the locals said that these are all pigtails' subordinates, we sent the red envelope of the door the day before yesterday, it is a full four hundred eagles, and it is also a big gift in Beijing, but it still doesn't work, and it is still not good, and it is ...... trouble to us."

Xiao Letian's eyes widened when he heard this, "Oh, this is taking us as turtles?" Master Long, you are familiar with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, you go to investigate the ......" Xiang Shaolong behind him arched his hand and urged the horse to go straight to the foreign line.

The name of Xiao Letian's foreign company is very cheesy, for fear that others will not know that he opened it, so the name is 'Lotte foreign company' Now the plaque has been wrapped in red silk, and it will be unveiled by Xiao Lotian on the auspicious day after tomorrow.

Lotte is very close to the coastal building, just on a street, and a few horses have already seen the chaotic scene at the door after a while.

A dung truck pulled by a donkey was overturned in front of the door of the foreign bank, and the earthy yellow and sticky grains were splashed all over the ground, and Xiao Letian's head hurt with the choking smell. A dirty old man was standing on the dung truck and scolding, and in front of him, a dozen ruffians stepped on the dung soup and wanted to rush to the store.

At this time, it was Luo Huo's ten musketeers who guarded the foreign shop, and they formed a semicircle in front of the store to block the impact of the scoundrels, and the young men were now mad, and their big fists smashed on the heads of these scoundrels.

"Oh! You startled Lao Tzu's donkey, overturned the dung truck, and you still dare to beat people? Is there any royal law, fathers and fellow villagers, you just stare at it like this? Let outsiders bully us locals...... They all rushed up to fight, and poured dung on the red silk and the plaque for me, and I saw how they still opened......"

The thin man on the dung truck looked like the leader, and now he is desperately encouraging the people around him to rush up. In the crowd, some ruffians who did not do their jobs echoed the voice, shouting loudly that outsiders were bullying the locals, which very confusing some people.

Luo Huo, the ten of them are already angry, and the heavenly spirit cover is about to collapse, don't look at them as guys, but they are caravan guards who have killed people and seen blood, once the blood and qi rush to the head, the combat effectiveness is not comparable to the street gangsters at all. Don't look at the less and more but the defense line is firmly guarded, the ruffians rushed more than ten times, and they just couldn't get close to the door of the store.

The thin man on the dung truck was also anxious, he was a cadre under the pigtail grandson, nicknamed the dirty mouse. He basically did all the indiscriminate work on the ground in Tanggu, and today the pigtail grandson gave a death order, and the dung water must be splashed on the plaque tied with red silk, and Xiao Letian's foreign company must become the laughing stock of the whole Tanggu before it opens, so that all businesses can respond to this foreign company.

Xiao Lotian really don't believe in evil, Sensei said that in ancient times, even if it is a modern society to do business, you have to pay attention to an incentive, if the customer knows that your business has not been done yet, it will make people splash feces, and your credibility will basically be zero.

"Damn, are you still poking here as a dead man? go up and beat me ......" Xiao Letian was already stunned even with the smell of smoke. At this time, the guards around him had already breathed fire in their eyes, just waiting for Xiao Letian's words, and wanted to rush over one by one after urging the horses after speaking.

At this time, Fan Yao suddenly shouted, "Don't move anyone, if the business is not opened, who will dare to do business with us in the future......?"

"Old shopkeeper, are you crazy? This is bullying to the door, do we still want to be shrunken turtles?" The young guards were so angry that they wanted to rush forward, and Fan Yao didn't know where the evil energy came from, and they just wouldn't give way to the guards' horses.

At this time, Xiang Shaolong spoke, "Listen to the old shopkeeper, our foreign bank can't become the laughing stock of Tanggu people without opening, you must know that foreigners are also watching jokes......" As he spoke, Long Ye looked at the windows of other foreign companies in the distance, where there were more than a dozen faces of foreigners who shrank their heads.

Long Ye jumped off the horse, easily squeezed out a small alley from the crowd, and soon stood in the circle of people, only to see him look up at the dirty mouse scolding the street, and a low hum "Hum ......" This sound is like a sonic weapon The dirty mouse's neck shrank is a spirit, and even the people who watched the excitement nearby felt like their hearts were knocked out.

Long Ye's left thumb and middle finger were ring-shaped, placed on the third button on his chest, and with a simple gesture, the dirty mouse broke out in a cold sweat.

The kid didn't care about the pickles, jumped into the dung water, nodded his head, his hands quickly changed a few postures, and the two of them were like deaf and dumb people, gesturing dumbly.

In less than three minutes, the dirty rat was already sweating profusely, and in the end he actually hit a thousand, and without saying a word, he straightened the dung truck with more than a dozen ruffians, turned his head and left.

Xiao Letian looked at it: "This is the end?

Fan Yao deserves to be an old Jianghu, he whispered in Xiao Letian's ear, "This is the common Jianghu cut of the two gangs of Yancao, it seems that Long Ye is very senior, these grandsons can't afford to provoke Long Ye......"
