Chapter 406: Fortune and Misfortune (3)

"March was really a great day in Port Sudan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoEvery time I see the port at this time, I think the fourth grandfather is really a great person. "Sitting in the canteen of Port Sudan City Government, there are a lot of bamboo screens full of Chinese style, separating small spaces. Sitting by the window facing the sea, Wei Wenrui couldn't help but praise.

Wei Kun also praised his father very much, and the scenery of Port Sudan was so so-so, if you sat on the side facing inland, you would see a mountain area made of red rocks. The greatest significance of Port Sudan is not its landscape, but China's steady expansion of influence in Africa while intervening in Europe.

"My dad is indeed very discerning, and the level of seizing the timing is really high." Wei Kun responded very sincerely.

Unexpectedly, Wei Wenrui frowned after hearing this, Wei Kun didn't bother to care so much, he lowered his head and took a sip of fish soup. The fish in the Red Sea are not particularly delicious compared to other regions. It's just that most of the water used in Port Sudan is distilled, and the taste of this water is unique.

"Wei Kun, aren't you worried that you won't be able to beat Britain in Africa this time?" Wei Wenrui asked about the most critical issues in Europe and Africa recently. The niece, who was a few years older, and the uncle, who was a few years younger, chatted about family life while eating, but after only a short casual conversation, the topic returned to the topic of military politics.

Wei Kun's current position is the deputy director of the East African Administrative Region Office and the county warden of the upper, middle and lower sultans, and his mind is naturally a national matter, and he has no objection to this kind of topic at all. Wei Wenrui is a girl, but she is the biggest Chinese leader in Amsterdam's alfalfa trading center, and when she stomps her foot, the European alfalfa market will shake violently.

To such a question about a female devil, Wei Kun replied: "The British can't win." Their navy did not dare to drive near the province of Madagascar, and the weapons of the army were not much stronger than those of the Zulus. As far as their colonial uncle mentality is concerned, it is probably a tie. As far as I know, the Zulu population is probably a million people. There are more than 100,000 young people in it who can go to the battlefield. ā€

Wei Wenrui's brows furrowed, "I heard in Europe that Britain is sending three or four hundred thousand expeditionary forces to fight in South Africa, and the combined population of the Boers and Zulus is only a little more than a million, and the population suitable for the battlefield is combined to be two hundred thousand. With a one-on-two, do you think the British will lose? Not to mention the fact that the Zulus and the Boers were still feuding, and it was impossible for them to join forces against the British. ā€

Wei Kun actually admires his niece's knowledge. He asked rhetorically, "Who do you think the British army will attack first?" Is it Boer or Zulu? ā€

Wei Wenrui took a sip of the plain water in Port Sudan, and there was a faint salty taste in the water. Although it didn't turn the whole glass of water into salt water, the salty taste made the water unpleasant to drink, which made Wei Wenrui frown slightly. After swallowing the boiled water, Wei Wenrui said unhappily: "This is what I can't be sure of now." The British people wanted to defeat both sides and bring them to their knees. The average British looked down on the Zulus, who were numerous, and considered them to be massacred, but were clearly inclined to attack the Boers, who were less populous. I don't know what the British upper echelons think. ā€

"Who the British hit first, what difference does it make to you?" Wei Kun couldn't quite understand Wei Wenrui's thoughts. Since it is a war, what is seen is the result, and Wei Kun feels that the whole process can be known after the fact.

Wei Wenrui waved his hand, "The market will react very differently to the British. If the British beat the Boers, a victory would trigger an increase in the price of bonds and stocks. The British fought the Zulus, and no matter how many victories they fought, it was impossible for the stock to rise. ā€

Wei Kun was somewhat interested, and he asked a specific question, "What if the British lost one after another in the face of the Mahdi forces in Egypt?" ā€

"The only thing that matters on the Egyptian side is the Suez Canal stock. Unless it was the Mahdi who could seize Egypt and drive the British out of the canal area, it would have little impact on the British. It is not uncommon to defeat the Arabs now, and it is not uncommon to fail once or twice once in a while. After Wei Wenrui finished speaking, he took another sip of white water that made her unhappy.

After thinking about it for a while, Wei Kun smiled: "You seem to be looking at the world with how much money you make now." ā€

Wei Wenrui nodded proudly, "That's natural, now my responsibility is to make money for the bank that is being established." At the same time, exchange the money for gold and silver. Relying on Sudan's alfalfa and beef, we really made a lot of money. ā€

Wei Kun didn't know what to say at this time, his niece Wei Wenrui had been monopolizing the sales of Sudanese alfalfa and beef to Europe, and now it seems that Wei Wenrui has taken on a lot of other responsibilities.

"Wei Kun, why did you think of running to Sudan to develop?" Wei Wenrui didn't let the conversation go cold, she asked a question that Wei Kun thought should have been asked a long time ago.

"Elsewhere is too sensitive to my identity. Look at my brother, he even changed his surname in order to be able to get along in the army. It's only in a place like Africa that my identity doesn't come as a surprise. Wei Kun smiled. He had thought about many ways to answer such questions, and it was the best he could come up with right now.

"You're kidding. Ha ha! Wei Wenrui was happy, "After you arrived in Africa, everyone thought that you were going to dominate Africa!" ā€

"I know that, people do think I want to be the king in Africa. But no one will have strong opposition because I want to be the king and hegemon in Africa, this is a place that no one cares about. No matter what I do here, no one will care. My identity has finally become an enabler rather than a hindrance. Wei Kun continued to explain earnestly.

"You don't want to go back and fight your brother?" Wei Wenrui asked seriously.

Wei Kun finally looked a little high-spirited, he straightened his waist and leaned back in the chair, "I don't think my father will pass on the throne." Because the Republic of China originally had a constitution, the Republic of China in the constitution was a republic. It's just that the people's congress, the highest organ of power in the republic, voluntarily transferred power to my father. Once my father dies, the republic will probably return to its original form. So my brother will take over at most, but he will not be the emperor. What am I fighting with him? Do you want everyone to see the joke at the end? If you want to be the king and hegemon, there is probably only one way left in Africa. Because there are blacks in Africa, my father doesn't want blacks to be part of the Chinese nation at all. ā€

"You make sense!" Wei Wenrui nodded slowly, and after thinking for a moment, she continued, "Okay, I'm going to stay in Sudan for a while, and see how you are going to dominate Africa." If you can really be king, I will help you sell some rice to the Europeans. ā€

"Don't! Other! "It's Wei Kun's turn to wave his hand again and again. Before Fang said those big words, Wei Kun was a little impulsive. When he finished saying 'life's ambition', the embarrassment immediately attacked. This kind of self-boasting seems to be trying to tell others that Wei Kun's level is actually only a little worse than that of his father Wei Ze. Wei Kun wanted to do this, but he actually knew that he was far from that level.

"If you don't let me see it, then you won't have to do any business." Wei Wenrui used threatening means.

"If you don't do it, you can leave, in fact, I really want you to leave now. And then no one will be able to debunk my big words. Wei Kun smiled.

"I'm going out to promote you." Wei Wenrui smiled and threatened.

"Whatever, I'll never admit it." Wei Kun found a way to fight back.

Wei Wenrui didn't mean to continue to force Wei Kun to submit, she thought for a moment and then said to Wei Kun: "Wei Kun, I heard something. It's about you. Wang Mingshan, the current party secretary of the East African Administrative Region, has a relationship with an Italian female banker who has just given birth to a child. I don't know what your relationship with this Wang Mingshan is, but if he does such a thing, it probably won't be so easy. After all, Wang Mingshan is not you, you have nothing to say about being the king and hegemon in Africa, but no matter what, it will not be Wang Mingshan's turn to be the king and hegemon in Africa. ā€

"Who told you this?" Wei Kun immediately asked.

Seeing that there was not the slightest smile on Wei Kun's face, Wei Wenrui smiled: "Who do you think we are doing the bank?" Banks are like fighting a war, gathering intelligence and making judgments. Wang Mingshan's affairs are not very secretive, and this information is not difficult to know. Do you think he's done it perfectly? ā€

"Then you can't spy on Wang Mingshan!" Wei Kun still had a straight face.

Wei Kun kept a straight face, and Wei Wenrui also put away his smile, "Do you think the two of them are so close that I still need to monitor them?" This news is well known in the European banking community. Those bankers were actually very envious of that woman who was able to hook up with Wang Mingshan and find a big backer. This is all news from the banking world, and I don't need to spy on Wang Mingshan at all. After the woman gave birth, it immediately spread throughout the banking world. ā€

Wei Kun still kept a straight face, "That means that there is no evidence whether the child is Secretary Wang's." Maybe the woman has to contact Secretary Wang more because of the need to make money, and this child is actually someone else's. ā€

Wei Wenrui wanted to laugh at first, but because he looked at Wei Kun's serious expression, he couldn't laugh. In this state of crying and laughing, Wei Wenrui said helplessly: "Wei Kun, if you don't believe it, forget it, don't make up such a joke." You are a young man, Wang Mingshan is not young. ā€

In the face of this ridicule, Wei Kun was not moved at all. He said firmly: "I will never admit this matter until there is no evidence." I hope you don't go out and talk nonsense either! ā€
