In the conference room on the second floor of Tianbaoxing Street, the thirteenth street of Guangzhou City is full of people and lively.

Young Master Liang naturally arrived early, and their grandfather and grandson set off by boat after lunch, and the old man's lunch break was solved on the boat, and after arriving at Tianbao Xing, the grandfather continued to rest, and the grandson was busy like a grandson. Check the text of the contract, instruct the preparation of tea, pastries, and fruits, talk to the fifth uncle about the Hainan base, and talk to the fourth uncle Liang Haozhong, the sixth elder of the Liang family, about the arrangements for today's dinner, and let Liang Qiang and Liang Zhuang go to pick up the two masters to go to the banquet together in the evening after booking the restaurant.

But Young Master Liang still miscalculated, he didn't expect that there were too many people coming, the originally spacious conference room seemed crowded, and the chairs around the conference table couldn't sit so many people at all, so he could only place a chair on each side of the wall to barely let these foreign negotiation teams sit down to talk, and he had to notify the restaurant to have more seats for dinner.

The three foreign banks all held a long meeting last night to discuss how to eat more and occupy more of the 40%. Robin, who talked about the British Empire, was confident that Swire & Co. must have a 30% stake, and as for the coarse Prussians and the greedy Jews, it would be good to let them participate in this feast, let them take 5% each to beat the soy sauce. Luo Bin, who calmed down when he slept at night, also used Anderson's brain, he also hoped to dig a spoonful from the 60% of Tianbaoxing, as for how much he could dig, he really didn't know how much he could dig in his heart, that oriental boy had left a shadow in his heart, and he was always passive in front of him somehow.

Although he was subdued by Young Master Liang on the spot, he still thought of a way to unite with the other two foreign banks and ask Tianbao to compress the shares. In fact, the foreigners often did this when dealing with the Qing court, and "I, the Qing Dynasty" had no power to fight back in the face of the joint demands of the foreigners, so it was easy to really use this trick, because they were natural allies and had a common opponent - Tianbaoxing. But Anderson is also a little troubled by gains and losses, and he can't make up his mind, because if he proposes an alliance with the other two foreign companies, he will inevitably break with Young Master Liang completely (of course, friends are not as insidious as him), and if people can invite him in and invite him out, then he will steal chickens and rice—the gains outweigh the losses. And there will be a lot to lose, and if the matter is publicized, his popularity and reputation in the Guangzhou business community are estimated to be lower than the ground level. The shrewd Jews had long understood that Young Master Liang invited him to join him because he wanted to use him and the Prussians to clamp down on the British, not any friendship, so he didn't have much pressure to betray this shallow friendship at all, but the cost of this betrayal was greater than the gain, and he didn't want to do it.

Young Master Liang also took into account the union of foreigners, but this is a commercial negotiation rather than a national negotiation, there are many American-funded foreign companies, and it is not only Qichang foreign companies, similarly, Swire foreign companies cannot represent Britain, and Lihe foreign companies cannot represent Prussia, so he is not afraid, if you are willing to come in and play, you must follow my rules of the game.

The relatively weakest Lihe Yangxing didn't think too much, their expectations were not high, but because of the weakest strength, Loew brought the most people today, and the weak showed nothing more than that, no matter how much they had to support the scene.

In Guangzhou in June and July, the weather is predictably hot, but this heat is still ashamed compared to the heat of negotiations in the conference room.

As soon as Luo Bin came up, he was aggressive and took the lead, and proudly launched his distribution plan, which suddenly splashed water like boiling oil, provoking the other two to jump. In fact, these two have been psychologically prepared, and they will definitely suffer a loss when they meet today's world boss, and their expectations are about the same, Swire & Co. accounts for 20%, and they each account for 10%. Unexpectedly, Robin looked so ugly, how could they not jump.

The so-called goals are different, the requirements will be different, this Robin's goal is the knighthood rewarded by Her Majesty the Queen, which is much taller than the two of them, how can you ask for a little more. It's just that he met an opponent today - the Jews, the Jews regard money as more important than life, if you want to snatch the money that belongs to me, I will fight with you! The British Empire is powerful, but we Americans are not afraid, you must know that the United States was originally a British colony, and it was the American people who beat the British away and stepped on the corpses of the British to issue the Declaration of Independence.

So there was a lot of arguing, slapping the table and kicking the legs, the noise was also hot, the big class to the big class, the follower to the class, the technician to the technician, the secretary to the secretary, I saw that the young master Liang was in a hot sweat and was dumbfounded. But the arguing crowd didn't care about sweating like pulp, a puddle of water under their buttocks, speaking English with a Liverpool accent or a Boston accent, mixed with the German that popped up from time to time, spewing saliva with a different taste. Young Master Liang deeply admires the desire of foreigners for money in this era, and it is this desire that makes them burst out with unparalleled motivation. Compared to a war that sacrificed tens of millions of lives, these things are nothing at the moment.

Fortunately, in front of him, the host, the foreign devils were still able to maintain a minimum of etiquette and did not start a fight. Unfortunately, as soon as he thought of this, something happened then, and the warm and unfriendly scene just now suddenly quieted down, because Loew of Lihe and Yang Xing grabbed his handkerchief and threw it in front of Robin, which made Master Liang inexplicable. He didn't know that this was the rule in Europe in this era, which meant that the person who threw the handkerchief demanded a duel, and the party who was thrown must accept the duel, otherwise his reputation, face, and credibility all fell to the bottom of the Atlantic, and he could not mix in Europe.

Robin was stunned for a moment, because he wasn't prepared for this at all! Today he made a mistake as soon as he came up, and provoked the Jew whom he despised, and the Jews were going to take the opportunity to suggest that the other two should unite, but as soon as he came up, he pushed away the possible allies, and the Jews no longer had the luxury of uniting with him, and turned around to unite with the Prussians against him, and Loew, who was born in the army, was repeatedly provoked by the Jews, and could no longer hold back, so he grabbed the handkerchief and threw it at Robin.

Robin is still very tough, the glory of the British Empire has blessed his combat effectiveness, he will not lose to the vulgar Prussians in momentum, even if people fall on the shelf, let alone for his title. He grabbed the handkerchief in front of him and wiped the sweat on his face by the way: "Damn Prussians, are you sure you dare to challenge a captain of the Royal Navy of the British Empire?" ”

Young Master Liang was so anxious that he rolled his eyes, you stupid fork, aren't you forcing people to do anything with you when you say this, this not only involves personal honor, but also brings the country to the table, is it tolerable or unbearable, it is also about the honor of the soldiers, uncles can bear aunts and aunts, there are so many colleagues watching on everyone's side. Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Loew immediately walked out: "Then let's see who will fall first, the Prussian army captain and the British naval captain, this is a fair duel, we are all captains, even if we fall, we are also fallen captains, not captains who are afraid of death."

It's over, there's nothing to talk about. Two fools, don't you know that the Jews are sitting in their chairs and laughing secretly?

At this time, the door of the conference room was suddenly opened, and the sixth elder of the Liang family came in with Old Master Liang and another old man, followed by the two masters of Young Master Liang. The five people who suddenly came in had a very strong aura, and suddenly suppressed the tense duel atmosphere to a sudden stagnancy, and the old man Liang said with a solemn face: "Everyone, this is my Liang family's Tianbaoxing, not the fighting arena, this is the Qing Dynasty, not Europe, and the rules of the duel in Europe are invalid here." According to our rules here, if you fight here in our place, you will not give face to this master, then I will not give you face. My rule is that you two must fight with the two masters behind me, and if you don't fall within a minute, you are free to decide whether to duel or not, on the contrary, if you fall, you must stop the duel and follow my arrangement. ”

Robin and Loew also gradually calmed down, compared to the business for many years, they are no longer the hot-blooded captain they were at the beginning, the so-called sandpiper and clam compete for profit, and when they see the look of the Jews, they understand that they are being calculated. Since there is no need to abide by the rules of Europe here, why fight to the death, with their intelligence, they naturally understand that Old Man Liang is looking for them to go under the stairs.

Young Master Liang immediately said: "Mr. Luo Bin, Mr. Loew, these two are my masters, this is Master Liang, this is Master Huang, Master, this is Mr. Luo Bin, the manager of Swire & Co., and this is Mr. Loew, the manager of Lihe & Co." Well, he introduced this introduction, and this duel was ruined. Everyone then moved to the side, and an open space flowed out to watch the duel arranged by Old Man Liang.

First of all, Loew faced Liang Kun of Tieqiao, and Loew, who understood that he had come over, naturally would not work hard, but he still made a few gestures in the appearance of Western boxing, and was pushed down by Liang Kun.

Luo Bin, who was extremely tough just now, now played another of his strengths - thick-skinned, he didn't even pretend to be in the duel with Huang Qiying, the two stood still and started, Master Huang is a kind person, naturally he will not strike first, Luo Bin saw that the other party couldn't come, so he rushed over, Master Huang naturally waved his hand to defend and attack, but before his hand touched the other party, the other party had already fallen, and the Prussians and Americans around him booed, Nima is too fake.
