Zhilin and Shouchuan are uninvited, of course, there is also Zheng Beile, who will not be left behind as long as there is wine to drink, Zheng Beile is an invitation sent by Xuan Yuemeng, Xuan Yuemeng originally thought that Zheng Beile would come with Yaxin Gege, but did not see Yaxin Gege, which made Xuan Yuemeng very disappointed, these three people, Xuan Yuemeng all knew, and the three of them together also had a young man in his twenties wearing a suit, with black hair and black eyes, which made Xuan Yuemeng a little curious, the Westernists on the ground in Tianjin, He could say that he recognized most of them, but he had never met this person.

Zhilin still didn't speak, staring at Xuan Yuemeng like a ghost, which made Xuan Yuemeng's heart rise with a cool breath! Xuan Dazhi and Xuan Dali and other personal slaves were very alert when they saw Zhilin, and their hands were on their waists, ready to pull out their short guns at any time!

Zheng Beile touched Xuan Yuemeng's little shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yuemeng, you send you an invitation to Uncle Zheng, your Uncle Zheng is very face-saving, I brought a few friends to cheer you on." ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled politely: "Welcome." ”

Timothy Li also listened to Xuan Yuemeng's analysis of this Zhilin after that day, of course, he was very vigilant and disgusted, but all the people who came were guests, not to mention that this Zhilin had a prominent background, and Shouchuan was also a powerful faction on the ground, so he couldn't blast out when he came, but Timothy Li still didn't understand this uninvited behavior, and he was very cold.

The man beside Zhilin suddenly bowed deeply, "I am very grateful to Mr. Timothy Lee for being able to attend the banquet of Klinsmann & Co., my name is Hirobumi Ito, please take care of me." ”

Xuan Yue Meng Khan, he is a historical idiot again, and it is impossible not to have heard of Ito Hirobumi, if the Qing Dynasty is the Empress Dowager Cixi and Li Hongzhang singing the protagonist, then the future history of Japan, there is no doubt that the tall and strong Ito Hirobumi in front of him will sing the protagonist! Xuan Yuemeng would never have thought that she would meet this person here.

Timothy Lee was also curious about how a Japanese could come out? At this time, there were not many Japanese in Tianjin, "welcome." ”

Xuan Yuemeng: "Mr. Ito Hirobumi speaks very good Chinese, huh?" You've been in China for a long time, haven't you? Did you come to China as a private person, or do you have a background in the Japanese government? ”

Ito Hirofumi first bowed deeply to Timothy Lee, and then bowed deeply to Xuan Yuemeng, and did not treat Xuan Yuemeng as a little old child as inappropriate, but listened to Xuan Yuemeng's simple words, I wanted to figure out my origin, and was highly vigilant in my heart, "I have long heard that there is a prodigy in Tianjin, Mr. Xuan Yuemeng, I feel very honored to be able to meet today!" My Chinese language is very general, I learned it from Chinese businessmen when I was in Korea, and when I was in Japan, there were also Chinese classmates who studied in Japan, and I also studied some, and I have also been to many places in China. ”

If it weren't for the fact that he already knew the details of this culprit of the invasion of China, Xuan Yuemeng would almost have a good impression of this person, the Japanese look very polite and sincere, and they are indeed very deceptive!

Xuan Yuemeng decided to learn and also took a small bow: "Mr. Ito Hirobumi, welcome very much." ”

At this time, Xuan Yuemeng was full of murderous intentions in her heart, if she could get rid of this Japanese at once, even if she was not known, she would have made a great contribution to China! Well-known talents in every country, that is a scarce resource, kill one less one!

Of course, Ito Hirobumi didn't know Xuan Yuemeng's thoughts, but while Ito Hirobumi was smiling hard, he was also thinking about killing Xuan Yuemeng, a child less than a year old can speak so well, which is already terrifying! Such a prodigy is rare in the world, and this child seems to be very enlightened, so young to know that mixed with Western forces, he will definitely become an influential figure in China in the future, while the little seedlings have not yet sprouted, it is best to die!

The two smiled and shook hands, each with a ghost.

After that, the guests came one after another, the British minister Wittoma and the ministers of various countries in Tianjin arrived, of course, the French minister Loshua would definitely not come, and the celebration of the victory of the Franco-Prussian War by Klinsmann was a complete offense to the French.

There were a lot of people here today, there were more than 1,000 guests, and the person who presided over the banquet was, of course, Timothy Lee.

Timothy Lee thought that after this meal, there would be no money to start work at the construction site tomorrow, and there would be no money to buy food for the workers, so he held back the fire in his belly, and said welcome to everyone, and went down.

Xuan Yuemeng sweated, so he had to ask Löw, the assistant manager of Klinsmann & Co., to go up and preside over the banquet, and he was a German whom Timothy Lee had personally found.

Loew went up, first took the speech prepared by Timothy Lee and read it again, and then began to talk about the blueprint that Xuan Yuemeng had planned.

Loew announced the next steps for Klinsmann's development: to convert a large tract of recently acquired farmland into farms and fisheries in partnership with the USDA and half as an industrial zone, in partnership with the German Ministry of Industry, to enable German-American business to cooperate in the small area developed by Klinsmann.

Loew said, the flash light below flashed, Xuan Yuemeng pointed to the German consul Dudek and the American consul Williams next to him, Loew understood, and hurriedly invited the two consuls to speak.

When the German consul Dudek and the American consul Williams spoke, Xuan Yuemeng beckoned to Loew, and Loew came to Xuan Yuemeng's side, and Xuan Yuemeng gave Loew the note that he had written a long time ago, so that Loew and others would read it.

After the German Consul Dudek and the American Consul Williams went down, Loew: "Thank you for coming, we Klinsmann & Co. will apply to the German Consulate and the American Consulate for the establishment of the German-American Business Association in China, in order to strengthen the cooperation between the two countries' businessmen." ”

As soon as Loew's words came out, the German consul Dudek and the American consul Williams and quite a bit of a tiger riding a tiger, Loew did not say that the German and American businessmen in China had reached any agreement, but this passage happened to be followed by the two people's speeches, as if an agreement had been reached, now the most powerful in China is Britain and France, the British minister Wei Tuma did not want to come today, but the venue is in the British concession, and the ministers of various countries have arrived, if he does not come, It seems to have offended the Germans and Americans, so Wittoma still came.

The German business circles in China and the American business circles in China will unite, and the Klinsmann & Co. will take the lead, which will greatly strengthen the position of the Klinsmann & Co., and everyone will whisper one after another.

Loew: "Let me tell you another important news, several well-known industrial enterprises in Germany have booked the commercial land of Klinsmann & Co., and our industrial area will be the commercial and industrial center of Qingguo!" With the progress of the construction of the leased wharf, the commercial interests of the US concession will grow rapidly, and I believe that people of insight will see the huge commercial value of this. ”

In fact, there are many people who are very interested in Xuan Yuemeng's project, Xuan Yuemeng has not sold a piece of land until now, the most important two aspects, one is that the economy of the north of the Qing Dynasty is far inferior to the south, and most of the foreign foreign banks that have invested in China are not strong, and some of the strong foreign banks will also focus on short-term trade, and no one will really treat China's business as a long-term business.

Xuan Yuemeng did not let Loew say that Klinsmann & Co. donated the Beiyang Yamen Xigu City Construction Project, because it was meaningless, and the Beiyang Yamen has not replied to the letter until now.

Timothy Lee asked Xuan Yuemeng softly: "Mr. Yuemeng, where are there any large industrial enterprises in Germany that we intend to cooperate with?" And when did someone order land for an industrial zone? ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled slightly, and said softly: "False information, used to support the scene." ”

Timothy Lee covered his mouth in surprise, do you really dare to brag, and you dare to brag like this? However, if he didn't get an order today, Klinsmann & Co. would be closed, and Timothy Lee didn't bother to dwell on this matter anymore.

Loew's speech was finished, which did cause a lot of repercussions, and Loew also accepted a group interview with reporters on behalf of Klinsmann & Co., after that, the banquet was carried out in an orderly manner, and today's banquet was held at the Attenborough Hotel, the most upscale in the British Concession, and everything was of the highest standard, even if the head of state came, that is, this treatment.

The publicity is in place, and the scene is very sufficient, there are still many people who just ask, and none of them place an order, Xuan Yuemeng's anxious heart is about to pop out, he thinks that at least half of it should be sold, right? This batch of land he took out for sale is only the lowest level of land he divided into sixteen grades, and the number is not much, only more than 100 pieces, Xuan Yuemeng's target price is 500 taels of land for a piece of land, and he just hopes to receive 20,000 or 30,000 taels of Chinese official silver today, who would have thought that it is estimated that he will not even be able to collect a single hair! This is Xuan Yuemeng's first time doing business, and she feels like she is about to collapse.

But there is one point, Xuan Yuemeng is very strange, no one from the Beiyang Yamen came, he sent a lot of invitations to the Beiyang Yamen, how about it? You've got to at least have a representative to make a show, right? If such a person does not come, it is not in line with the etiquette of the Chinese, right?

Xuan Yuemeng looked sideways, and always felt that someone was looking at him, and he was seeing Zhilin laughing at his own jokes, his second uncle Xuan Hongbo didn't know when he came, beside Zhilin, and Shouchuan The three of them looked at themselves from time to time, and talked about something from time to time, Xuan Yuemeng didn't need to ask to know that he was laughing at himself, he was laughing at Klinsmann Foreign Company! If you can't get an order today, and you make such a big scene, it's really a big joke and a big news!

Timothy Li said softly and urgently: "Mr. Yuemeng, the banquet is already halfway over!" Hurry up and lower the price! Taking advantage of the fact that the powerful foreign banks are here now, how much can they sell, and if they can't get an order, how can they end? ”

Xuan Yuemeng pretended to be calm and said: "No, there will be no drops in an order!" You quickly find a few people to pretend to be independent merchants and sign a few fake sales contracts first! ”

Timothy Lee is too sweaty, so he can think of it, but the fake is fake after all! Are you stupid for everyone else? Signing a few fake sales contracts can trick everyone into following suit? If this is debunked, won't it be a shame for the dead? Even if it is known afterwards, it is not dishonorable, right?

Timothy Li was also in a hurry to go to the doctor, and couldn't think of any way, so he did what Xuan Yuemeng said, and found three foreign technicians who were born in the face, and asked them to pretend to be merchants who had just come to China to invest, and bought three pieces of land!

Loew read out the transaction information aloud, and asked people to go to the door of the Attenborough Hotel to set off firecrackers, of course, this is Xuan Yuemeng's idea, Loew's explanation to everyone is that if the Chinese make a business, they will put a firecracker drop.

Not to mention, Xuan Yuemeng's trick is not completely ineffective, there are four German and American merchants who plan to come to Tianjin to develop and really buy four pieces of land, although the price set by Xuan Yuemeng is ten times that of the British Concession! However, buying a piece of land, even if it is a loss, is nothing for the oceanic firms, and the key is that these foreign firms can't stand the lively mentality of foreign firms in other countries, especially the British foreign firms that are more than half present!

Timothy Li wiped her sweat in surprise, "Mr. Yuemeng, congratulations, you have finally sold four pieces of land!" More than 2,000 taels of silver came in! This is the first time that our Klinsmann foreign company has made money, and we should be able to survive this month! However, your project to fund the construction of the Beiyang Yamen Xigu City was dismissed as soon as possible, you see that today, the Beiyang Yamen did not even come to anyone! ”

Seeing that the banquet is more than halfway through, although four orders of business have been completed, this is not the goal that Xuan Yuemeng has been busy with for so long! Xuan Yuemeng doesn't think that his pricing is unreasonable, it is ten times more expensive than the commercial land in the British Concession, but once the American Concession wharf is created, the money is really nothing, at that time, the location is almost a huge commercial benefit! Xuan Yuemeng sighed, didn't answer Timothy Li's words, it seemed that there were only four businesses, and he was full of a sense of failure.

"Minister of Beiyang, Governor of Zhili, Lord Li Zhongtang has arrived!"

Just when Xuan Yuemeng was disheartened, the neat shouts of more than 100 house slaves came from the gate of the Attenborough Hotel, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Xuan Yuemeng, who was about to fall asleep, woke up!

Xuan Yue Meng woke up! So the representatives of foreign banks, all the journalists are awake!

Everyone knows that in the Great Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang, who went out of Beijing, represents the imperial court of the Great Qing Dynasty and represents the Qing government!

What kind of effect is this?

How shocking is that!?

Xuan Yuemeng's tears are about to come out, "Come early!" ”
