According to the instructions of the domestic premier and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Jin Yuran also served as the consul general of the Republic of China in Hamburg, Germany. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe reason why Jin Yuran insisted that the business consulate be located here, rather than in Paris or Brussels, is because Hamburg's geographical location is in the center of the whole of Europe, which makes it easy to carry out work; At the same time, I have studied in Germany for several years, and I have a certain network of good communication; Third, Germany's machinery manufacturing industry is world-famous, although Germany was defeated, but Germany's industrial base and the entire industrial science and technology system are still there.

He plans to take Hamburg as the center, gradually radiate outward, and spend a few years inspecting the construction of industrial and mining, railways, bridge construction, military industry, and other aspects in the whole of Europe, and introduce these advanced experiences and technologies to China in order to promote domestic economic development.

Jin Yuran's current small family is really warm, the family has a special cook, his son goes to school on time every day, and there are special people to pick him up, Jin Yuran helps Qi Ruifang and Jin Boyang learn German as long as they are at home, and the three of them usually insist on using German to improve their oral communication skills. In fact, less than two months after arriving in Hamburg, the German spoken conversation between his son Boyang and Qi Ruifang was no problem. Niu Niu is simply a little trick at home, at that time, the European social scene was popular masquerade, and the Jin family also had some prom masks, and the little guy often put the mask on his head to "whoop" and pretend to scare people, causing the family to laugh "haha".

Jin Yuran because of many years of living abroad, open-minded, so the democratic atmosphere of the Jin family is very strong, Jin Yuran is very respectful of his wife, Qi Ruifang is also actively learning the knowledge of diplomatic etiquette, when she was a girl, there was a foreign language teacher at home, with her beautiful temperament and the influence of the family environment, she was familiar with these things, and soon some diplomatic occasions were able to deal with it easily. Soon after arriving in Hamburg, the couple attended the welcome dinner held by the German Machinery Manufacturing Federation in Hamburg for Jin Yuran and his wife, of course, the Germans also invited the consul couples of other countries in Hamburg, and Jin Yuran and his wife were extraordinary as soon as they appeared, Jin Yuran's elegant demeanor, handsome appearance, fluent German, and more Qi Ruifang's decent dress, elegant temperament, and beautiful appearance, the audience immediately became a sensation. In particular, the wife of the Chinese consul general was not small-footed, which surprised all the foreigners present and felt incredible, and her slim figure and calm and elegant conversation made all the men in the audience look sideways, and a group of noble ladies surrounded her and talked to her, Qi Ruifang became the star of the party.

When he got home, Jin Yuran was very excited, bowed to Qi Ruifang vigorously, and said, "Thank you!" Thank you ma'am! Madame is amazing! Qi Ruifang smiled and said, "Okay!" Come on! Husband and wife, I am borrowing your light! Niuniu, who was awakened, clapped her hands when she saw it: "Oh! Daddy kowtows to Mommy! Oh! Daddy kowtows to Mommy! The couple looked at each other and smiled.

Family life is very comfortable, but Jin Yuran's work in Germany is still very busy, and he has frequent contacts with German political and business people, so there is a need for Jin Yuran's work, but to a large extent, it is also due to the urgent requirements of the Germans. Before the war, Germany's investment in China amounted to more than $250 million, while Germany's investment in China after the war was less than 0.5 percent of the pre-war period. Before the war, there were almost 300 German merchants in China, but after the war began, only two remained. Therefore, as soon as the war ended, the German economic circles could not wait to demand that they return to the Chinese market and resume economic and trade activities in China, and in particular, the German businessmen who were forced to leave China due to the outbreak of World War I kept demanding that the government take positive action to restore German-Chinese relations. Jin Yuran took advantage of this opportunity to actively keep in touch and make friends, and German business circles and even German politicians often invited Jin Yuran and his wife to various banquets and balls.

Every time the couple goes out, they almost take the little girl with them, and when they dance, the little girl wears a white velvet-colored multi-layer tower pleated skirt, remember that the talented lady Ms. Zhang Ailing named it "whalebone skirt", let's call it "whalebone skirt"! The little girl wore a white brimmed hat decorated with feathers, and wore a long white glove in the net, and danced a waltz with the German "men" children in the melodious "Blue Danube" and other waltzes. Qi Ruifang, who was sitting on the edge of the dance floor and talking to a group of noble ladies, said with a smile: Haha! Niu Niu, this kid is like a little spinning top! And a group of German ladies next to her praised her as a cute elf!

During the interval of the ball, Jin Yuran also talked and exchanged views with people from the German business and political circles, and some business contracts between China and Germany were negotiated or initialed during the dance music of the ball. For example, the import of bulk machinery and dyes signed by the China SD Provincial Textile Printing and Dyeing Chamber of Commerce and the German Textile Industry Federation; This is also the case with the soybean export contracts signed by 18 agricultural chambers of commerce in northeastern China and the German Oleo-Industry Federation.

Now Qi Ruifang has completely appeared in the image of a noble lady in social occasions, fluent German, elegant manners, beautiful external image, has become a good helper of Jin Yuran's diplomacy, coupled with the husband and wife singing and cooperating tacit understanding, very popular in German high society, the couple not only made a lot of German friends, but also made a lot of family friends from other countries in Germany, especially Qi Ruifang, often some German eminent wives invite her to German homes as guests. In particular, Qi Ruifang's beautiful "female red" shines in this group of women: such as a silk green leaf embroidered pillow, a sleeve collar water cloud flower ornament, a flower and grass hairpin skirt embroidery, and even a pair of embroidered insoles, etc., all make these high-nosed, blue-eyed foreign women happy, "tsk" and can't put it down.

Of course, Qi Ruifang brought her daughter Niuniu when she was a guest at the German home, the cute little girl was particularly likable, she seemed to be very polite at a young age, and the little girl learned to take off her hat and bow, curtsy and other social etiquette, which was both dignified and elegant and childish, so that when these German ladies came to invite Mrs. Jin, they especially emphasized and invited Miss Jin, and the two became stars in the social circle of Hamburg women.

In Postan, the capital of Brandenburg, Jin Yuran's family was warmly and sincerely received by the local medicine and textile tycoon, the Babelbes family, and the warm hostess not only accompanied Qi Ruifang's mother and daughter to visit the summer palace of the Prussian king, the Brandenburg Gate, the church and other monuments in the 18th century, but also took them to visit the Bostan Observatory and the Meteorological Observatory, and watched the filming of the film studio. Finally, the host invited the mother and daughter to take a boat ride on the Elbe River in Postin, and the hostess enthusiastically introduced them to the monuments and scenery on both sides of the river. The Elbe is so big! Bigger than the River Spree in Berlin! But Niu Niu thought, why is this place full of water?

In the past two or three years, Jin Yuran has inspected many places in Germany, collected a lot of information and sent it back to China, and at the same time, in the process of investigation, he also gave birth to a lot of emotion......

On May 20, 1921, Bulch, the plenipotentiary negotiator of the Weimar government of Germany, and Yan Huiqing, the foreign minister of the Chinese Beiyang government, issued a joint statement in BJ, in which China and Germany formally signed the "Sino-German Entente" and announced the resumption of friendly and commercial relations on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, and Germany gave up its consular jurisdiction in China, that is, Germany completely renounced all the privileges of the former empire in China and recognized the principle of China's tariff autonomy. It has had a positive impact on China's future foreign negotiations.

Jin Yuran seized the opportunity to introduce Germany's machinery, electronics, railways, and other aspects to China. Soon under Jin Yuran's matchmaking, Zhang Xueliang, the eldest son of Zhang Zuolin, the king of the Northeast, known as the "young marshal", came to Germany and soon signed a contract for Germany to help the Northeast Army build an arsenal in Shenyang, that is, during this period, Jin Yuran and Zhang Xueliang became more familiar. After a period of hard work, the commercial and trade activities between China and Germany, which had been almost interrupted by World War I, were vigorously carried out again, and China completely got rid of its dependence on and control of Japanese weapons in the Beiyang era. Among the contracts signed between China and Germany in which Jin Yuran participated, the arms trade was the most prosperous, and in 1925 alone, the value of arms imports from Germany amounted to 13 million Reichsmarks, more than half of the value of all other foreign arms imports.

On the other hand, most of the military advisers to the Nationalist Government and the local powerful faction Zhang Xueliang were hired Germans.

At the same time, Germany's large amount of arms exported to China improved China's backward weaponry and equipment to a certain extent and strengthened China's strength in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. On the eve of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, about 300,000 troops in the country had been trained and rearmed by German advisers, and in the War of Resistance against Japan, these new-style troops constituted the main force and backbone of the frontal battlefield of the War of Resistance against Japan.

However, Jin Yuran's negotiations with the German business community on the construction of railways with China, as well as the trading of agricultural futures between China and Germany, have all been stranded due to the frequent civil wars of various armed forces in China, which makes Jin Yuran very sad. In April 1925, a delegation from Europe, the United States and Japan sent by the Beiyang government arrived in France, and the head of the delegation was also called a special envoy, who was none other than Xu Shuzheng, Jin Yuran's old friend, and his entourage included Lieutenant General Chu Qixiang, former commander of the Third Brigade of the Northwest Frontier Army, who recovered Outer Mongolia, Zhu Foding, an educator and doctor of law, and Xue Guanlan, a diplomat and Yuan Shikai's son-in-law.

At the end of June, the delegation led by Xu Shuzheng came to Germany, and the German government attached great importance to Xu Shuzheng's visit, and the welcome ceremony was very grand, not only rolling out the red carpet between the car he got off the car and the Reichstag, but also sending a number of cabinet members to greet and accompany him, and many German people held the flags of China and Germany to cheer Xu Shuzheng, and the standard was the same as that of the head of state.

Xu Shuzheng also went to Jin Yuran's home to visit as a guest, and when he was having dinner at Jin's house, he met Jin Yuran's eldest son Jin Boyang, sixteen-year-old Jin Boyang has red lips and white teeth, not only can speak fluent German, but also is tall and tall. Xu Shuzheng was very happy, and said to Jin Yuran and his wife: "The virtuous nephew is shrewd, gentle and dignified, I am very happy, the dog girl Yinghuan and Ling Lang are of the same age, our two families are good for Qin and Jin, Brother Yuling, what do you think?" Xu Shuzheng's eldest daughter, the Jin family, has seen both husband and wife, and Xu Yinghuan and Qi Ruifang are very familiar, when they were in the Xu family, "Auntie and Auntie!" Qi Ruifang was full of joy, and Jin Yuran readily agreed, he slapped the table and picked up the wine glass and said, "Okay!" Brother Zheng said it was decided again! Cheers! It's a pity that Xu Shuzheng was killed when he returned to China from a visit to Soviet Russia, the United States, and Japan a few months later, and later Jin Yuran went to Xu's house to mourn, and he didn't see Mrs. Xu mention this stubble, or maybe Xu Shuzheng didn't have time to tell his wife, and this matter is over. However, Xu Shuzheng's eldest daughter Xu Yinghuan later married Li Fanggui, a world-renowned linguist in the United States, which was also a happy marriage.

More than ten years ago, when he was a teenager, Jin Yuran came to Germany, at that time he expressed his sincere admiration for the diligence, rigor and fortitude of the Germans, and today he saw the German people's selfless work enthusiasm after the defeat, the spirit of sacrifice willing to sacrifice themselves for the country, and the strong determination to get rid of the humiliating position, which shocked Jin Yuran, and he felt that the revival and strength of the German nation was only a matter of time! By 1930, the total trade volume between China and Germany reached 350 million Reichsmarks, and China had become Germany's largest commercial partner in the Far East.

Because the Chinese Beiyang government refused to sign the "Treaty of Versailles" after World War I, China and Germany took the lead in signing the peace treaty in 1919, and the Germans felt more impressed by China's support for Germany when Japan and Germany were at war in Qingdao.
