Jilin sighed, "Mr. Ito Hirobumi, aren't I trying to figure out a way?" The U.S. Concession is now very strictly controlled, and the workers won't let it out at all, and the U.S. Concession has sent more people to patrol the house, so it's impossible to go in! I still want to eat this coal mine! ”

Ito Hiroshi's face was red, "Jirin-san, I'm very disappointed in you, you know? I thought you were a very smart person, but I didn't expect that you really weren't smart at all. ”

Zhilin smiled: "I'm still very disappointed in you, I gave me so much money from you, my ears are about to be pierced by noise!" ”

Ito Hirofumi frowned and asked, "Zhirin-san, you have to give me a positive answer as soon as possible, and find out as soon as possible, is there a gold mine in this coal mine?" ”

Zhilin smiled: "Why do you care so much about this matter?" How? Do you want to eat this coal mine? If you gave Klinsmann a foreign company five million taels, have you ever thought that you would have no way to take that Xuan Yuemeng! ”

Ito Hirobumi shook his hand, "No, even if Xuan Yuemeng and Klinsmann got five million taels, with Xuan Yuemeng's temper, he would definitely not stop like this, he would continue to expand the industry and commerce in the American concession, he is just a foreign company, and behind me is the Great Japanese Empire!" As long as I get this mine, huh! Our Great Japanese Empire suddenly has a solid industrial fortress in the north of China, you know, this mine, is a group of mountains, covering such a large area, with coal mines, copper mines and gold mines, it is possible to build an industrial base, no wonder Xuan Yuemeng will open an industrial area nearby, this child is really terrible. No, this kid who is hostile to the Japanese Empire must not be allowed to strengthen his strength any further! ”

Zhilin nodded, "Then if you want to buy this mine and power plant, you have to hurry, the British and the French seem to have intentions, the French are slightly weaker here, but let me tell you, the British Xingtai Xingxing Foreign Company is very powerful, and they may win the subcontract right at any time!" ”

Ito Hirobumi frowned and pondered for a moment, "Don't worry, let's wait and see!" I know that Li Hongzhang's relationship with this Xuan Yuemeng is extraordinary, before you get the conclusive evidence that they do have gold mines, don't worry, what if this is a trap under Xuan Yuemeng? Five million taels, that's a lot of money! Why didn't this Klinsmann & Co. discover coal mines sooner or later? Just when we were about to snap their throats open, they found a gold mine? This thing is still weird. ”

Zhilin pointed at Ito Hirobumi and shook his hand, "You Japanese, not only are you short, but your heart and eyes are as small as a needle nose, let me tell you, just because the relationship between Li Hongzhang and Xuan Yuemeng is different, this thing is even more true!" Do you think, is there a lot of pressure on the imperial court? In order to give an explanation to the imperial court, Li Hongzhang insisted that there was no gold mine in the coal mine, but if there was no gold mine, why did he agree to the high price of five million taels offered by Xuan Yuemeng? Isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver? Such a simple truth, three-year-old children can understand it, don't you understand? ”

Hirobumi Ito frowned, "Soga." ”

Zhilin snorted, "When is it, and what are you still doing?" Let's go and scrape together the money, shall we? If it was late, it was robbed by the British. ”

Ito Hirobumi's head was sweating profusely, and he shook his head, "Let's take another look!" The stakes are too big in this matter! The amount involved is too large! ”

The British and Japanese were in a hurry.

In the evening, Xuan Yuemeng finished a day's work and was about to go back with Zhao Qingluo, when Timothy Li came to Xuan Yuemeng's office to find Xuan Yuemeng again.

Timo Li said loudly: "Mr. Yuemeng, do you still think of me as your partner?" Why didn't you consult me about anything? Don't you believe me anymore? If you don't believe me, I won't do it! ”

Catherine pushed the door in, "Why are you talking to Mr. Yuemeng so loudly?" I heard it next door, and you were in a bad mood at noon, and you were still talking about it at this time? ”

Catherine is following Xuan Yuemeng's words, and she has been accompanying Zhao Qingluo a lot these days, so she happened to be talking to Zhao Qingluo next door.

Xuan Yuemeng sweated, "You told Catherine about the things in the mine?" ”

Timothy Lee: "Can Catherine not know what the whole Naoli knows?" I just want to know, if there is a gold mine, you don't tell me, it's okay, but why did you agree to buy back the coal mine to Beiyang Yamen? Isn't it better than five million taels of silver for us to hold a gold mine? A gold mine, even according to the minimum mining amount, can at least tens of millions of taels of Chinese official silver? I'm anxious for you, if you do this, not only will Mr. Yuemeng be laughed at as a fool, but even our Klinsmann Foreign Company will be laughed at! People will say that we push the gold mountain outside! Isn't this a fool what? ”

Catherine frowned and said, "Isn't this your foreign business?" Why is it that selling coal mines is such a big thing, and you don't know it as the boss? ”

Xuan Yuemeng sweated, and secretly blamed Timothy Lee for not being calm today.

Timothy Lee was also shocked to say the wrong thing, and defended: "You don't know, the coal mine and power plant belong to Mr. Yuemeng, and Klinsmann & Co. only occupies a small amount of money. You don't care, you go back first. ”

Catherine: "Mr. Yuemeng, what the hell is going on?" Why do you want to buy back the good gold mine to the Beiyang Yamen? ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Money can't be earned, make friends, understand?" This is called making friends, many friends and many roads, not to mention a big friend like Li Zhongtang. ”

Timothy Li stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Mr. Yuemeng, I also understand the rules of Chinese officialdom, yes, I want to make friends, but it's a gold mine!" Where do you make friends with a gold mine? They have a contract with us Klinsmann & Co., and they can't take the gold mine at all! ”

Timothy Lee said this in Chinese, and Catherine did not understand it.

Catherine: "Why are you so loud?" ”

Zhao Qingluo didn't know how to persuade her, "Mr. Timothy Li, Yue Meng should have his own ideas, it's useless for us to say it, and I don't know the specific situation." ”

Timothy Li still calmed down and sighed softly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yuemeng, I couldn't control my emotions just now, it seems that I should go to our own hotel for a drink and relax, Catherine, are you going?" ”

Catherine shook her head: "You go, go back early, I'd better stay with Miss Zhao." ”

Timothy Lee nodded and left.

Catherine picked up Xuan Yuemeng, her blue eyes were watery, revealing a charm, and even when she walked, she seemed to have a seductive rhythm, which made Yuemeng think of the time when she saw Catherine and Timothy Lee at her house, and said in her heart, what are you holding for?

Catherine: "Mr. Yuemeng, don't pay attention to him, the capital chain of the foreign bank has been tight recently, and he is in a bad mood, I really can't figure it out, what is going on with the share division between you?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Mr. Timothy Lee is the majority shareholder, and I just have some business on the periphery of Klinsmann & Co. ”

Catherine smiled at Xuan Yuemeng: "Mr. Yuemeng, I really admire you, at such a young age, you are so wise, you are only one year old, not only smart, but also very courageous, can do many things that adults can't do, can give birth to many ideas that adults can't think of, that is, you are too young, otherwise, I feel that I will fall in love with you." ”

Xuan Yuemeng sweated, and he didn't know if what Catherine said was true or false, but the foreign woman's compliments still said that he was very happy.

In fact, Xuan Yuemeng's mood is very nervous now, he just tries his best to cover it up, if it is not for the appearance of a one-year-old child as a cover, if he is the same age as Timothy Lee, he must not be able to hide it so well, the child's expression, whether it is happy, uncomfortable, or nervous, is actually almost the same, because the child only has a few expressions.
