Chapter 145: Death Asks for Money
"Haha, this person named Yang Xinghua really has a vision, take precautions, can he know that Changmao is going to recommit Guangxi, he has prepared guns early, and plans to make contributions, and the old man is going to meet him in person. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Ruilin was so happy that the flesh on his face piled up, his narrow eyes smiled, and he immediately asked people to summon Yang Xinghua.
The reason why I want to see Yang Xinghua is because Yang Xinghua is rich, why hasn't such a big rich man heard of it before. Er Lang retreated, waiting for the dog slave to bring news.
Soon got the news that Yang Xinghua was not in Guangzhou, nor in Hong Kong, this big tyrant didn't know where to go to business, so Ruilin was unhappy, and the silver ran away, how can this work, you have to roll over for me.
Then find someone to check Yang Xinghua's background, and see which bastard is taking it, he is so undirect, and he has no filial piety at all, this is good, I don't know if I don't check, I was shocked when I checked it, there is no militia group for Yang Xinghua's record at all.
You must know that the establishment of a militia group is to be recorded, and the militia is also divided into large and small, and if you don't hand over money to dredge up the relationship, you can only do a small militia group of 180 people, and the big militia must have a hard relationship before it can be allowed, otherwise who knows if you want to rebel.
Obviously, Yang Xinghua's is a big militia group, with tens of thousands of new guns and hundreds of cannons, even the entire Guangdong Provincial Government may not be able to afford it.
After careful consideration, the last slap of the chair, Ruilin simply took the sheep by the hand and cut off the beard!
It doesn't matter who Yang Xinghua's backer is, whether he has this person or not, since he uses the title of the Guangdong People's League, then it is under the control of the Guangdong Admiral, then it is reasonable for these guns to come over directly.
So he immediately asked the governor of Guangdong to ventilate, and then came in person, but things did not go well, William said helplessly: "Sorry General, Your Excellency, we can't agree to your request, this is unreasonable, our HSBC Bank has its own purpose, the customer is God, we can't violate the law and harm the interests of customers." ”
"But Mr. William! We have a clause with your country, and you cannot sell weapons to our non-governmental personnel. "Ruilin came prepared, and before coming to Hong Kong, he specially learned some rules of foreigners, and knew some of the routines of British and French ghosts.
But William still refused: "Yes, so we have been abiding by the terms and conditions, and we have not sold you non-state weapons, don't your militias belong to the government?" ”
William's latter sentence has a rhetorical grammar, Ruilin is deflated, this can not be refused, you must know that the predecessor of the Hunan Army was also a militia group, even now its name is still a militia nature, not a national defense force, nominally it still can't be compared with the banner camp Han Banner Battalion, these guys who eat imperial grain and are filed in the military department.
However, Ruilin was a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, and he didn't know how much ink he drank, his brain turned fast, and he said in a way that was neither yin nor yang: "What if this Yang Xinghua is not a militia group, if he is a thief." ”
This is the official word two mouths, what you say is what it is.
I said that he is a thief, he must be a thief, the Qing Dynasty is all from our Manchus, and the Han people are the sheep that are harvested, don't you shear the sheep whenever you want?
The most important thing in these years is the anti-thief, and Ruilin is going to play word games, which is the best trick of Chinese literati.
"Fack!" William scolded in a low voice speechlessly, and the other two HSBC leaders took into account Guo Ruilin's identity and issued a persuasion from their own interests: "If it is really your Qing Dynasty thief, our HSBC will reconsider this business." ”
William is not really good for HSBC, nor does he really abide by any bullshit business ethics, or in the same sentence, in the face of absolute interests, God can also sell.
You must know that during the day, he collected 150,000 benefits and sold it once, and he is still calling for another sale?
Now he is just deliberately pinching Ruilin, what is the great thing about a small Qing general, your emperor has been beaten by us.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "Okay, but as an honest Englishman, I can reveal something to you, dear general, you know that we are going to lose a lot of money by doing this." ”
Death costs money! The other two HSBC Britons smiled at this and didn't say anything.
Who would be afraid of a lot of money! Up for grabs!
Ruilin also knows that if you want to deal with the British ghost, the best way is to open the way with money, even if it is in China, you can't give people some benefits when you find someone to do things, so he took a deep breath and said: "I don't know how much your bank's losses are, and my country can't afford it." ”
"Not much, not more! 100,000 taels. "William still remembers 100,000 taels vividly, look at how bold Yang Dongfang's classmate is, as soon as he makes a move, it is 100,000 taels of silver, so he comes out casually.
On the contrary, Ruilin stroked his beard, laughing so hard in his heart that he was about to burst out, and nodded: "Not much, not much, 100,000 taels, it's really not much." ”
One hundred thousand taels will do this, Ruilin is relaxed, and feels that there is nothing better than this, it is like a big victory, one hundred thousand taels will bring 18,000 new guns, 180 cannons home, this deal, the blind can be counted.
Looking at the entire Qing Dynasty, who is better than himself, and when the time comes, he will replace the equipment of the Eight Banners in Guangzhou, and he will not be more awesome than the Hunan army.
For fear of William, he hurriedly asked someone to hand over 100,000 taels of silver tickets, which were all his private money, and watched William and the three of them accept it, so he hurriedly said: "Then now, the contemptible people can receive this batch of guns." ”
“no! no! no! William took the money and was a bastard, shaking his head and saying bluntly:
"Dear General, I think you are mistaken, we didn't say that we were going to give these guns to you, we have business ethics and integrity, and we have already handed over these guns to the seller, you see this is a handover certificate, with the signatures of both of us."
"What... You, you've already completed the guns, so you still have to. Ruilin was so angry that he was so angry that his blood gushed, his old face was blushing, and he was not lightly tricked, no wonder the foreign ghost agreed so happily today.
The feeling is that I have been fooled, and I am still complacent.
"Ahem... My dear Excellency, I think I made it clear at the beginning that I was revealing the news to you, but I did not say that the 100,000 taels were used to buy guns. William felt that he was still a real gentleman, how could a person be so shameless as to think that others were not shameless, and wanted to buy something for 1.5 million taels for a mere 100,000 taels of silver.
Therefore, it is necessary to make the words clear and explain clearly, and then he said sympathetically:
"Don't be sad, general, the good news I want to tell you is that although the guns have been handed over, they have not yet left Hong Kong Island, and you still have a chance to get them."
Ruilin didn't understand it slightly, and his head was still congested.
"Then the general's good luck, Hong Kong is our British concession, and everything here must abide by the laws of our British Empire, but out of Hong Kong Island, we are not responsible."
Watching the three bastards leave in a triumphant manner, Ruilin gritted his teeth with hatred and was ashamed, but he also heard the sound outside the strings.
This man named Yang Xinghua received the guns and had to be shipped out of Hong Kong Island, and when he got out of Hong Kong, he sent a sailor to grab them.
Damn, just such a news cost me 100,000 taels of silver, the ghost of the gods, you will be punished, and when I prosper in the Qing Dynasty, I will slaughter tens of millions of your family, just like killing the Han people back then, and kill you to obey.
Ruilin didn't know that the population of the British Empire was actually hundreds of millions more than that of the Qing Dynasty.
