"Counselor, pay attention when making tea, the water can't be too boiling, it can't be too warm, the temperature is too high and too low, it's all in vain and good tea - of course, the main thing is not to spit in the tea and then bring it over, you know?"

Luo Qinghu's voice came, and the counselor who was just about to go out almost fell down in the corridor, and he couldn't wait to send troops to secretly go over and dig up the ancestral grave of Luo Qinghu's family - Lao Tzu is a dignified counselor of the British Empire Consulate, not a special little guy who pours tea and water, don't care about your special boiling water, some of them will be good for you!

"Mr. Luo, let's get down to business, how about it?"

Yang Muqi held his breath and watched Luo Qinghu set up the score, and pouted his back teeth.

"What are you busy with, this tea hasn't been served yet!"

Luo Qinghu waved his hand and directly interrupted Yang Muqi's words, and said with a smile: "Lord Governor, I heard that the steaks in the Governor's Mansion are good, they are all veals shipped from the United Kingdom-this looks like it's time for dinner, if you don't prepare, let's talk while eating...... By the way, if there is any brandy, prepare a little, I don't have any hobbies, I just like to eat something delicious and drink something delicious......"

Yang Muqi only felt a whirlwind of gold stars in the blink of an eye, and his nose and mouth were crooked, and he wanted the guards to immediately drag the hateful guy in front of him out to shoot the target, but in the end, he could only bite the back of his teeth and squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying and said: "Okay, you sit down for a while, I'll go to the back kitchen to say hello......"

After that, he went with an inward-looking expression.

"Phew, dog. Day. The British, half of the hair of Lao Tzu who has been tossed by you for a while has fallen out, and if Lao Tzu doesn't toss you to death today, this matter will not be over! ”

Looking at Yang Muqi's back, Luo Qinghu scolded fiercely, and then lowered his voice with a smile and said to President Chen: "Mr. Chen, our double reed singing is beautiful, it seems that the things that the head of the regiment explained to us are stable nine times out of ten!" ”

"Huh? What double reed? ”

President Chen was a little confused, he was an orthodox businessman, a well-known Confucian businessman, talking about harmony and making money, where to act like Luo Qinghu without scruples, as long as he achieved his goal.

"Isn't it to sing a double reed, what are you pulling me back to do?"

Luo Qinghu said with his eyes protruding, looking at President Chen's innocent appearance, he couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, and said in his heart that Yang Muqi was so dangerous, otherwise he would have to give President Chen a pit to death for this matter today, and then he remembered the famous old saying - useless is a scholar!

"So what are we going to do now?"

President Chen didn't care what Luo Qinghu thought, he was not stupid, of course he could see that Luo Qinghu probably caught the key point of Yang Muqi and others, and said happily: "Strive to sign the contract as soon as possible, the British are the most important about the spirit of contract, once the contract is signed, the head of the regiment will explain to us, but it will be stable, and we will all get rich!" ”

Thinking of this, his heart blossomed with joy, and his eyes were full of Venus.

The establishment of the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Association is mainly to mobilize all compatriots in Nanyang to go to the national disaster together, and it is not a profit-making organization.

But after all, the Nanqiao Association is an organization founded by most businessmen, and businessmen can also be patriotic, but the nature of businessmen is profit-seeking.

Even in this turbulent era, in this era when the British Empire is embattled, the amount of money needed to buy a large area of land in the core area of Hong Kong is still an astronomical amount, and almost all of the money in Trojan County is invested in the construction of the army and the war, and the little money squeezed out of the teeth can only be a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, Lu Yuan proposed a plan - the Xiangjiang Plan!

In Lu Yuan's plan, the Nanqiao Association was responsible for the financing of the purchase of land in Hong Kong, and after the victory, Lu Yuan and his Sichuan Army Independent Regiment, the people of Muma County, were responsible for the development of Hong Kong, which was equivalent to the opening of a joint stock company between the two parties.

These funds for the purchase of land are equivalent to the investment equity capital in Hong Kong, and in the future, Hong Kong will be able to participate in the profit sharing when Hong Kong develops well.

As soon as this plan was brought to the Nanqiao Association, and then Chairman Chen relayed the future development plan for Hong Kong, the entire Nanqiao Association was a sensation, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that once this plan succeeded, Hong Kong would become a complete cornucopia!

I don't know how many businessmen enthusiastically donated, and those workers who worked hard in Nanyang, and even the self-combing women, all donated money with their bankrupt money, and the amount was almost astronomical - as long as this thing was done, it would not only contribute to the country, but also make money, and all of them showed extraordinary enthusiasm.

This money, but the blood and tears of many people, especially the hard-earned money of those workers, as well as those who comb their long hair, swear not to marry for life, and rely on serving others for a living The money obtained by the self-combing women who used a woman's best years to make a living, they do this out of patriotism, and they also want to have a little security in their future lives.

How could President Chan not be in a hurry? I can't even wait to sign a contract right away and finalize the matter.

"Don't worry, the dumplings are all boiling in the pot, what's the hurry to lift the lid?"

Luo Qinghu said with a smile: "The more anxious they are, the less we can be anxious, only in this way can we win the most benefits-Mr. Chen, you should know this truth better than me!" ”

"Yes, yes, I'm confused!"

Chairman Chen slapped him hard, finally reacted, and said with a smile.

"Counselor, what are you doing, are you soaking in the big red robe? You Englishmen, you're a thing—I don't know how you got to be this counselor, hey......"

"Your Excellency the Governor, this is too much, if you don't want to keep us for dinner, just say it, this steak is still served raw, you look at it, it's still bleeding...... What, that's how steaks are eaten, and they are only tender when they are medium-rare...... You foreigners, you are simply drinking blood...... Don't say anything, give me the whole very cooked one, a big piece, the meat just has to be eaten in a big piece to enjoy it......"

"This is brandy? Why does it smell like water? Zizi, you British lords' tastes, I really can't compliment them...... How can a man drink what a pig eats? ”

Starting from the counselor entering the door with a big red robe, and then to eat, Luo Qinghu called an honest and unkind person, who caught who with his nose and eyes, the angry Yang Muqi and the counselor were trembling, wearing a white high hat and an authentic London dialect, the chef had a crooked nose and mouth, eager to make this hateful guy into a roast pig.

President Chen smiled embarrassedly, and at the same time his heart was full of excitement, and said in his heart that these people who follow the road far away, one is counted as one, is there another way to say it, and the courage is greater than the sky, that is absolute, these British masters, when did they suffer from this kind of bird spirit?
