0189 Ruthless and dark
Hirobumi Ito and Maemitsu Yanagihara discussed in a low voice, and McMarfoy also discussed with Hurd and the others in a low voice.
In fact, both sides were a little tempted by Young Master Meng's proposal, after all, no one wanted to get along with money.
Timothy Lee could understand why Young Master Meng wanted to do this, and after knowing the full details of the matter, Timothy Lee was also very happy, but he was more worried.
Young Master Meng is simply too fierce, how can he pit tens of millions of taels of Chinese official silver at one time?
Zhao Qingluo unconsciously held Xuan Yuemeng's hand, she hoped that the foreigner would agree, because in this way, it could at least show that the foreigner was still willing to continue to associate with Klinsmann and the foreign company, not to the point of needle-to-wheat mang.
Ito Hirofumi glared at Xuan Yuemeng, didn't speak, and walked straight away.
Young Master Meng sweated profusely, didn't say a word, and just left? Strange oozing.
Hirofumi Ito bowed to Young Master Moe, "Mr. Yuemeng, we, Lord Yanagihara Maemitsu, agreed to Mr. Yuemeng's proposal, and our Great Japanese Empire agreed to repurchase the equity of the mine and power plant to Klinsmann at a price of 300,000 taels of Chinese official silver. ”
Young Master Meng nodded with satisfaction, but his face was deliberately solemn, "I told you nothing, right?" You see, this is a trouble, but Mr. Ito Hirobumi, please rest assured, we will send someone to send you money tomorrow, and I will personally sign the contract with you. ”
Hirobumi Ito nodded, didn't say a word, and left.
Meng Young Master Khan, Japanese people have this problem?
Are you polite or not? When you leave, you don't even know how to say hello? When you ask someone, you keep bowing 90 degrees, and when you don't ask for someone, your neck will be broken, and your head will be raised to the sky.
McMarfoy saw that the Japanese had given in, so he had to sigh, "Mr. Yuemeng, we also accept your proposal!" ”
Yue Meng smiled: "Mr. McMafoy, this time, I really didn't expect you to come back to buy it, I didn't expect it to be this result, do you believe it?" ”
McMarfoy sighed, he still really believed! Young Master Meng's original target was the Japanese, but he was on the pole himself! "Can it be remedied?"
Young Master Meng smiled and shook his head, "The equity of the foreign bank belongs to everyone, and Mr. Timothy Li and I can't be the master, but in order to show my sincerity, I will donate an additional 100,000 taels to you last time in the Xuan family's old mansion, and I will pay 500,000 taels of Chinese official silver to you." ”
McMarfoy sighed, and said in his heart, what's the use of 100,000 taels more, I gave 4 million taels!
However, by doing this, Young Master Meng finally gave the British more face.
McMarfoy shook Master Moe's hand.
The camera crackled, the magnesium lights flashed, and the reporters were busy recording the words of Young Master Meng.
The next day, there will be many legendary reports, and the story of Young Master Meng's outwitting of the British and the Japanese has now become a novel story, and it is miraculous.
Zhao Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xuan Yuemeng and smiled.
And Li Jingshou was already asleep.
Li Hongzhang asked people to take Li Jingshou back to the carriage first, and said to Xuan Yuemeng: "Okay, I will also leave in advance, you can greet foreigners with them, you have done a good job today, and being a man is to be generous." ”
Young Master Meng smiled and nodded, "I learned it all from Lord Zhongtang." ”
Li Hongzhang shook his head with a smile, "You, you are a small ghost, if the Ministry Hall was like you, you would not be able to live now, but your kid is very lucky." ”
Young Master Meng was sweating, and he didn't know what Li Hongzhang meant by saying this to sarcastically mock him, threaten him, or praise him, anyway, every time Li Hongzhang spoke, Young Master Meng had to think about it for a long time.
Young Master Meng: "My little bit of luck comes from Lord Zhongtang, Lord Zhongtang likes me, I have such a little luck, if Lord Zhongtang doesn't like me, I'm nothing." ”
Master Meng is not a pure sycophant, this is indeed the case, no matter whether Li Hongzhang is guarding against him or holding him, in the end, Li Hongzhang still plays the role of a protective umbrella on the road of Young Master Meng's career development, and the Zeng family can't do this.
Young Master Meng likes Zeng Jize and agrees with Zeng Jize's ability, but Zeng Jize's ability and vision are only suitable for being an official in a peaceful and prosperous world, and he can also be a prime minister! However, this is a troubled time, and in the troubled times, an elegant gentleman like Zeng Jize obviously can't stand a person like Li Hongzhang.
Li Hongzhang is personable on the outside, but he is actually ruthless and dark on the inside.
After sending Li Hongzhang away, Young Master Meng and Zhao Qingluo sat back in their booth.
Zhao Qingluo asked softly, "Is Lord Li Zhongtang angry?" ”
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said: "I don't care if he is angry or happy, anyway, the money has already fallen into the pocket, are you relieved now?" ”
Zhao Qingluo's eyes rolled, "Counting the construction site of the wharf and the construction of the entire development zone, as well as the construction of your large factories, it is still more than half of the difference, and now it can only be said that there is no big problem in paying off the land payment of the US Consulate, but it is still not enough for development." ”
Young Master Meng nodded and said with a smile: "It's already very good, our factory, as well as the construction site, will make money, we can't rely on deception every time!" However, the world is made up of scams. ”
Zhao Qingluo softly repeated Young Master Meng's words, "This world is made up of deceptions?" ”
Young Master Meng smiled: "Don't think about it, no matter what I say, what do you like to repeat?" ”
Zhao Qingluo sighed softly, "You are really good at deceiving people!" You've been lying to me all along! ”
Young Master Meng sweated heavily, took Zhao Qingluo's hand, and said: "I didn't tell anyone this time, the only person who knows the details is myself, even Dazhi and Dali are just acting separately according to my requirements, you won't be angry about this, right?" It's called, well-planned, you can't say it to anyone, you see Timothy Lee is arguing in my ears all day long, didn't I tell him? ”
Zhao Qingluo pouted, "I'm not talking about this, I'm saying that you are too good at deceiving people, too scary, I don't know what you say in the future, it is true." ”
Young Master Meng sweated profusely and said affectionately: "Everything I say to you is true." ”
Zhao Qingluo didn't look at Xuan Yuemeng, and sighed softly, "I'm going back, I'm sleepy." ”
Young Master Meng said with a shy face: "I'll go to you?" ”
Zhao Qingluo's face flushed, "Don't, you forgot what I told you?" I'll never have sex with you again. ”
Young Master Meng smiled, "The world is impermanent!" ”
The next day, Young Master Meng bought back the matter of the mine and power plant, and spread it to the entire Zhili, and everyone was amazed.
This is equivalent to saying that Young Master Meng has never had any capital, just like smashing a leather ball against the wall and bouncing it back into his hands, just bounce it back and forth, how much money did he make?
Of course, no one knew that Young Master Meng had sent money to Li Hongzhang and Li Lianying in the process of this matter, and it was impossible for him not to have any capital at all.
In fact, after Young Master Meng exchanged 2.5 million taels of silver for usury. Usury is the principal amount calculated together with one month's interest.
Young Master Meng didn't make much, more than seven million taels, nearly eight million taels.
Young Master Meng also took out 500,000 taels of silver as a private subsidy to the Zhili merchants who united against the foreigners.
It's a lot of money, it's not much, it's not too much.
After this incident, Master Meng still took a conservative approach, first paying off the land money of the US Consulate at one time, and the province was worried about the land payment of the US Consulate every time.
It was only because of this treaty of trade with Japan that was beneficial to the Qing Dynasty that Li Hongzhang and Xuan Yuemeng greatly strengthened their positions in the minds of the Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong.
Prince Gong didn't take such a young child as Xuan Yuemeng to heart, although he had heard Xuan Yuemeng's name before, and he had a very bad impression.
It's the last time Xuan Yuemeng arrested Zhilin and locked him up for six days and five nights.
This time, Li Hongzhang and Xuan Yuemeng have both been included in the ranks of diplomatic talents by the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Especially Xuan Yuemeng, this time the Empress Dowager Cixi deeply engraved Xuan Yuemeng's name in her mind. (To be continued.) )
