Chapter Eighty-Three: A Whim (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
At night, the beach house area is quiet, only the street lamps on the side of the road are faithful like guards!
"Thirteen masters, thirteen masters!" Gou Shisan, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by Zeng Guofan's call.
"What's the matter? Big brother, it's early in the morning, and you can't let people sleep? "Gou Thirteen is very unhappy, you woke up before you fell asleep, is this really good?
"Oh, the thirteenth master is not good!" Zeng Guofan jumped to his feet and shouted, and in an instant, Gou Shisan, who was still confused, instantly widened his eyes.
"Tell me, if it's really a big deal, do it right away!"
"Foreigners, foreigners don't know how to tell Lafayette that they are ready to come to Changsha Mansion to do business! I heard that the Yangtze River ports have promised them to trade, what do you say about this? Zeng Guofan also just received an eight-hundred-mile rush from Jingshi, and he contacted Gou Thirteen after sending the messenger in a hurry.
"That's it? Isn't it good to trade, and trading with foreigners is more conducive to your development. Aren't you also planning to open factories and military industries? "Gou Thirteen is puzzled, trade is a good thing. Don't you see how amazing and remarkable the achievements of our reform and opening up over the past few decades are, this is a good project that can make a fortune!
"Oh, my thirteenth master! You really don't understand or pretend you don't understand, this is a big deal! Think about it, whose hands are the Yangtze River port in at this time? If those foreign devils really want to come to Changsha Mansion to trade, how can we say the safety on this road, plus our Lafayette and the emperor really don't like foreign devils! â
Zeng Guofan was about to cry, especially when he heard Gou Shisan say that he would follow the foreigners to open a factory or something, didn't he want to die by himself? Why did the Qing Dynasty fall into the quagmire of war, wasn't it all those foreigners who first broke the domestic balance and let the Qing Dynasty's combat power consume too much?
"Well, that's it! But now you can't let this thing go, isn't this what you Lafayette promised? She actually agreed, and she definitely won't settle accounts with you, now you just need to remember that you will share the money you earn to honor her old man! "Gou Thirteen thinks about this is really a good thing, there is no zĂ i in history, maybe after the foreigners come, they can really let many people with lofty ideals see the hope of saving the country.
Besides, trade means that more capital enters the country, which can help many people! In addition, it can also enrich the daily necessities of the masses, and in addition, it can also stimulate the development of domestic capital, which is definitely a good thing in one fell swoop.
"Besides, does it matter if your so-called Yangtze River port is not in your hands? If the foreigners come, they will definitely help open up the port, otherwise the long-haired ghosts will make a fuss and their merchants will lose a lot, so it is definitely a good thing! You can do business with foreigners with peace of mind, and at the same time, the key is to strengthen the military industry and other issues. â
"But, but, but I don't know the bottom of my heart! You don't know what those high-ranking princes and nobles think, who knows if they will order me to be killed tomorrow! It's a trivial matter for me to die, and if I delay your business, it would be a great sin! "Zeng Guofan really doesn't know what to say, how can such a thing be a good thing in the eyes of the Thirteenth Master, is there something wrong with this.
"Oh, don't worry about it so much. By the way, if a foreign businessman comes to you to discuss cooperation, you have to get some foreign paintings, and tell them to ask for paintings or manuscripts by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael. Gou Shisan suddenly thought that Qiao Hongyu had said in the evening that the paintings of foreign oil painting masters were also good.
"Huh? This, how can that foreigner's barbarian painting be compared to our Qing Dynasty's Chinese painting! Thirteenth Master, why don't I collect more paintings for you? "Zeng Guofan can't keep up with Gou Thirteen's thinking, and just now he was talking about trading with foreigners, why do you want to buy foreign paintings again?
Those foreigners look like ghosts one by one, and they don't know what works can they have! No, you must not let the paintings of foreigners defile the eyes of the Thirteenth Master!
"Then you don't understand, we not only have to learn from the foreigners in science and technology and military, how should we also learn some cultural knowledge of the foreigners, so that we can better master the skills of the master to control the foreigners. Whether you're right or not, rest assured I'm sure of it. Well, it's such a happy decision. By the way, tomorrow I will send you another batch of facial cleanser and perfume or something, and then I will use these to exchange calligraphy and paintings with foreigners, and you will say that the more famous the painter's paintings, the more things can be exchanged. "Gou Thirteen brainwashed Zeng Guofan step by step, and now Zeng Guofan is equivalent to his spokesperson in the Qing Dynasty, and only by brainwashing him can he realize his plan to pit foreigners.
"This, Thirteenth Master, I feel that you should think about it again, if you really want calligraphy and painting, I will immediately arrange someone to buy it, I dare not say that many dozen pairs of calligraphy and painting are not a problem. I really don't like the calligraphy and painting of foreigners, and people may not be willing to do it! Zeng Guofan is still a little worried, to be honest, he is also the same as those old men of the Qing Dynasty, although he is afraid of foreigners, he still looks down on him more, which is also the sequelae of the dream of **** Shangguo.
"Alright, you just do what I say. As for what factory machinery you need over there, you can also order it like a foreigner, remember that business can only be made by doing it together, and bring those friends who are not bad. Gou Shisan told again, in fact, this is no way, now Zeng Guofan's strength is not enough, and there must be more allies, this is also to prevent someone from getting angry.
"Alas, all right! Then I'll try it first, if it doesn't work, let's talk about it! Zeng Guofan saw that Gou Shisan was so insistent that he couldn't say anything anymore and could only agree, but he still didn't have much hope in his heart, although he didn't deal much with foreigners, he also knew that foreigners were also very arrogant.
It's a pity that what I don't know is that the foreign businessmen at this time are definitely the most ambitious group of people, let alone a few hundred percent of the profits, even if they are fifty percent of the profits, they dare to contact the army to force a country. It is also a bloody process of accumulation of capital, which is an inevitable deposit.
"Also, if you don't feel at ease or if they don't want to support it, you can tell them a secret, that is, there are a lot of gold mines in Fusang, and you can encourage them to harm Fusang. What? You don't know Fuso, I'll go. It's Dongying, they have a lot of silver and gold mines over there, and this news should be able to exchange for some support. Gou 13 suddenly thought that he didn't want to trap the devils, and at this time, wouldn't it be just right to let the foreigners harm them to slow down the time of the Sino-Japanese War.
He clearly remembered the devastating disaster brought by the First Sino-Japanese War to the Qing Dynasty, and the sailors that the Qing Dynasty had built with great difficulty were gone, and the tens of thousands of miles of sea area of the Qing Dynasty were exposed in front of these capitalist societies, just like a beautiful woman with a red fruit.
"Huh? This, what does this have to do with Dongying? "Zeng Guofan was dumbfounded again, Thirteenth Master, can we not jump so big! Are you not doing your job, you are a businessman, not a politician!
"Why doesn't it matter? I tell you that if the foreigners are the culprits who caused the great decline of the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty, then Dongying will be the executioner who ruined the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty, and it will not take a few years to estimate that Dongying will be obsessed with the master! Gou 13 said with great certainty that this is also the inevitable trajectory of historical development, but at this time, diverting the attention of foreigners can not only give the Qing Dynasty some time to recuperate, but also exchange a little time for Zeng Guofan.
As the so-called dead friends do not die in the poor way! Dongying is not a good thing in the first place, so it naturally needs to lead the water to the east!
"Okay, I'll try it then, but I don't know where! What if they need a specific location? Zeng Guofan thought about it, anyway, now Dongying is no longer a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, so sell it! But when I think about it, it seems that the other party won't believe it, but it can't be done without evidence!
"That's right, you wait for me to think about it!" Gou Shisan was right when he heard it, and immediately began to search in his mind for the location of Dongying's gold mine, not to mention that there was really something in the knowledge system that the system had added.
"Ha, when the time comes, you will say that there was once a wandering monk who went to Kagoshima in southern Kyushu in Dongying, and found a lot of gold mines there, the content is very large, if anyone is interested, they can go to mine together, and you can also let people check the total amount of silver and gold we have introduced from Dongying in the past few years, and they should believe it at that time."
"Huh? Is this really true? As soon as Zeng Guofan heard that Gou Shisan even said the name of the place, he immediately widened his eyes when he was still a little suspicious. The thirteenth master is really an immortal, and he still knows about Dongying?
"No problem, guaranteed and the stock is very amazing. As long as they go to mining, you can know, you can roughly tell them that the content is about hundreds of millions of tons, as for how to confirm it and throw it directly to the foreigners, in short, you must guide their eyes to Dongying! â
"Okay, I'll try it then." Zeng Guofan is already a little unable to think, and the main reason for his brain chaos is that the amount of information is a bit large.
"Okay, I'll sleep first when you're busy, I'm sleepy!" Gou Shisan turned off the video and went to sleep satisfied, and the bait was thrown out, as for whether the foreign devil would believe it, this was not a question he should consider. However, he is fifty percent sure that the devil will be unlucky, and the foreign devils in this period are much more barbaric.
