Timothy Lee coughed, stood up at once, and went out to greet him personally!

Li Hongzhang will indeed build momentum, full of pomp, first more than 20 tall and burly personal guards came in and lined up in two columns, and then a large number of Tianjin officials came in, divided into two columns, standing with their heads down, and then Li Hongzhang took square steps, entered steadily, walked up and walked with a beautiful style, which can be called peerless!

Regardless of whether Li Hongzhang can agree to Xuan Yuemeng's previous request to apply for mining opening, as long as Li Hongzhang can come today! Xuan Yuemeng believes that there is no problem in signing at least four or five more orders at the meeting, right? How about getting back the cost of today's banquet? And Chinese eat is not the same as foreigners, Chinese are sure to make red envelopes, this can earn a little, right?

After all, Xuan Yuemeng has never done a big business, and her mind is similar to Timothy Lee, and she is still thinking about some messy little money.

Timothy Lee wanted to go up and shake hands with Li Hongzhang, but Li Hongzhang smiled and hugged his fists, which frightened Timothy Lee and hurriedly hugged his fists.

Li Hongzhang gracefully hugged his fists and saluted the consuls of various countries who were familiar with him, and the consuls of various countries also hurriedly stood up and saluted back, showing great respect! This scene was recorded by the reporters with their cameras.

Li Hongzhang can win the respect of foreigners, definitely not only by power, but by ability, if it comes to power, Prince Gong Yixin will definitely blow up Li Hongzhang, but the foreigners that Xuan Yuemeng came into contact with during this time have a very negative evaluation of Yixin! In particular, Yixun would actually propose that the Qing Dynasty send an American as foreign minister to travel around the world and sign a lot of unequal treaties, which is unthinkable in modern times, how can a country's diplomatic sovereignty be handed over to a foreigner? Li Hongzhang is efficient in handling affairs and can argue on the basis of reason, which is very convincing to foreigners.

Xuan Yuemeng has to admit that the person who can be the chief assistant of a great country, just because he has that demeanor, it is not something that ordinary people can learn, if he is reborn into Li Hongzhang's body, he may not necessarily do better than Li Hongzhang! He has no confidence in his own abilities at all now, although he has a little more knowledge than the ancients, but as time goes by, he sees more and more deficiencies in himself! But fortunately, after he was reborn, he was still his original self, his appearance and body were his original, but he lived again, since he was a child, many regrets in life have time to be filled, Xuan Yuemeng is always vigilant about himself, he must work harder in this life! You can't waste your time.

In the past, Xuan Yuemeng often thought that if she let herself go to ancient times, she must be like it, but now it seems that if you don't work hard, in which era will it be silk, and in another era it will be silk.

Timothy Li asked Li Hongzhang to speak on stage, Li Hongzhang nodded, saw Xuan Yuemeng, and came over to hold Xuan Yuemeng's little chubby paw, "You translate for me." ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled slightly: "Okay." ”

Li Hongzhang: "A while ago, Mr. Timothy Li of Klinsmann & Co. proposed to Zhou Fu, a Taoist of our Beiyang Yamen, that he should donate to our Beiyang Yamen the Xigu City Construction Project in the north of Tianjin, and also proposed to donate a coal mine. Today, the imperial court issued a decree approving the request of our Beiyang Yamen, and I formally announce that we, the Beiyang Yamen, have accepted the proposal of Klinsmann & Co. ”

Xuan Yuemeng was surprised and translated Li Hongzhang's words into English.

The banquet venue was in an uproar, and reporters from all over the world snapped their cameras, this news is too heavy!

Even Xuan Yuemeng couldn't believe it, because he only asked Zeng Jize to help him ask last night, didn't he say that there was no news?

Indeed, the Empress Dowager Cixi sent it to the governors for consultation, but without waiting for the governors to give their opinions, she sent a decree to approve Li Hongzhang's request, because the Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong discussed for a while, and this matter was indeed not harmful at all, and it was completely beneficial to the Qing court.

When Li Hongzhang came down, Xuan Yuemeng immediately asked Loew to speak, announcing that Klinsmann & Co. would immediately start the power plant project! Klinsmann & Co. has already started to purchase a complete set of special equipment for power plants in Europe. In addition to donating Tianjin Beicheng construction project to Beiyang Yamen, Klinsmann & Co. also planned to donate funds to build a highway and a railway through the industrial zone, which was actually very short, but set a precedent for foreigners to build a free railway! Announced the plan to build an international building, an international commodity city plan, an international grain and cloth trade city plan, and released a total investment amount of more than 20 million taels of China's official bank investment plan. The vacant land along the river, Financial Street, the goal is to surpass the Bund in Shanghai within five years, re-plan the Huayang business community, the north and south business circles, move the commercial center of gravity to the north, and build the Dashi cement embankment!

20 million taels of Chinese official silver?

At this time, not only Li Hongzhang was stunned, but Timothy Li was even more frightened by Xuan Yuemeng, thinking that the boss was crazy? We only opened four orders today, a total of only more than 2,000 taels, where do you go to get 20 million taels of official silver, that 10,000 times, is blown out?

Xuan Yuemeng is indeed blowing, blowing and not breaking the law, besides, make a plan, and then talk about it, how much money can be collected, and how many things can be done. Anyway, Xuan Yuemeng's property in the modern community is like this, he wants money all day long, he brags all day long, anyway, if he wants to come up for a dollar, he will do things for five cents at most, Xuan Yuemeng is also such a concept, if the American concession really develops, the plan will always be realized one by one.

Xuan Yuemeng can't think of anything more profitable than property anyway, he doesn't need capital at all, as long as he occupies a position, he will collect money, he is now such a business philosophy.

Li Hongzhang said to Timothy Li: "Mr. Timothy Li, as for Guiyangxing's desire to donate funds to build highways and railways, the construction of highways is very welcome, but the construction of railways still needs the permission of the imperial court. ”

Xuan Yuemeng did not completely translate Li Hongzhang's meaning to Timothy Lee, so she said that Li Hongzhang showed favor to Timothy Lee!

Timothy Lee hurriedly said a lot of words of gratitude, and of course, when he said it, his facial expression was bright.

Li Hongzhang wondered, I was rejecting their plan to build a railway in disguise, and he was still so happy? This foreigner is indeed not simple, quite content!

Xuan Yuemeng: "Lord Li Zhongtang, Mr. Timothy Li said that building a railway is just an intention, this matter is not urgent, and it is not too late to build it after the mine is developed." ”

Li Hongzhang sighed, "Then Klinsmann & Co. has already chosen a location for the development of the mine?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng has been preparing for this matter for a long time, now mining, good mines, undeveloped mines are everywhere, some are exaggerated, there is no need to dig a hole at all, and you can shovel up a pile of coal directly with a shovel! It's just that China's current industry is completely zero, there are many kinds of coal, there are several processing technologies, different coal has different uses, he is looking for coal suitable for power plants, if it is to build a steel plant, but also according to different iron ore to choose different coal,

Xuan Yuemeng said with a smile: "I have already chosen the address, and I have chosen a coal yard closest to the industrial development zone of Klinsmann & Co., if the Beiyang Yamen cooperates well, coal production can start by the end of this year." ”

Li Hongzhang picked up Xuan Yuemeng, patted Xuan Yuemeng on the back, and asked softly: "Yuemeng, tell me honestly, what is your relationship with this foreigner?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng didn't know what Li Hongzhang wanted to say, "I'm his translator, and then I have a little bit of a stake in Klinsmann & Co., one percent, which is considered a minority shareholder." ”

Li Hongzhang sighed and glanced at Xuan Yuemeng deeply, "You tell me honestly, this foreigner is so good at talking?" Isn't there any conspiracy against our Qing Dynasty? ”

Xuan Yuemeng sweated, it turned out that Li Hongzhang was still not at ease, "What conspiracy can there be?" The Qing Dynasty suffered a lot of losses, and suddenly came to a foreign company that treated the Qing Dynasty equally, but it made the Qing Dynasty suspicious, people didn't ask for anything, they just wanted to use the right to supply coal, and they didn't sell coal to the outside world, developed it themselves, and then returned the money to the Beiyang Yamen to buy coal from the Beiyang Yamen, where to find this kind of good thing? ”

Li Hongzhang nodded and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yes, maybe the old man has suffered too much, but I hope the old man is suspicious, how old are you?" Do you know how to make money? What a little goblin! If you weren't too young, the old man would really transfer you to the yamen to be an official! I'm afraid that others will say that the Beiyang Yamen is ridiculous. ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "This is easy to do, Lord Zhongtang can promote my father, as long as my father's official position is promoted, I help my father, isn't it to help the Beiyang Yamen?" ”

Li Hongzhang smiled and patted Xuan Yuemeng's big breaker, "Stinky boy, where is your father going?" Now he doesn't fight, your father is a showman, and the old man suddenly pulled him to the sixth rank official, which is a blessing in the entire Qing Dynasty, if you donate the official normally, at least 100,000 taels, and you don't have such a good reputation, your father is called an official because of his official duties, if he wants to go up in the future, this first step is very good, in addition to the imperial examination, even if he is an official because of his official duties and the emperor's direct reward is the best. ”

Xuan Yuemeng also felt funny when she heard Li Hongzhang selling to herself, of course, he didn't need to pat himself on the back of a month-old person, this is hoping that he will help him do more foreign affairs in the future! "Lord Zhongtang, don't worry, you will treat Yue Meng as a son in the future, no matter what you send, Yue Meng will definitely serve!"

Li Hongzhang patted Xuan Yuemeng's big break again, "You kid, you still have a set, you will definitely be a sleek official in the future." ”

Xuan Yue Meng laughed, "No matter how sleek it is, it's not as sleek as Sheng Xuanhuai!" Lord Zhongtang, please forgive me for making a small report behind my back, Sheng Xuanhuai is really bad, if it weren't for Lord Zhou Fu this time, such a good thing about the cooperation between Beiyang Yamen and Klinsmann would be gone. Also, that Sheng Xuanhuai came into contact with that Zhilin and others all day long, that Zhilin is not a good person at first glance, Lord Zhongtang pays more attention to them, these people are moths! ”

Xuan Yuemeng had a rare opportunity to contact Li Hongzhang and talk bad about Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhilin, in order to report Sheng Xuanhuai's indifference to him and Timothy Li, and to report that Zhilin kidnapped and wanted to kill him.

Li Hongzhang was slightly displeased, he didn't like to listen to the right and wrong behind people, "Yuemeng, you are still young, let's play more with Jingshou and their children, remember, you can't fight." ”

Xuan Yuemeng heard Li Hongzhang's displeasure, "Lord Zhongtang, I am not a person who likes to gossip behind my back, except for Lord Zhongtang, I will not say anything to anyone just now, adults have a relationship with the world, and any decision will change the fate of a country!" If you think I'm hurting others unreasonably, I won't say anything about it in the future. ”

Li Hongzhang smiled and touched Xuan Yuemeng's head, and also felt that he was secretly angry with a child who was less than a year old, and he was too old, "You are still too young, there are some things that you will slowly understand in the future, there is a saying in officialdom called leading but not provoking, being an official must do more things, don't treat people, no matter what kind of person you are, being able to do things well is the first priority." What's more, no one can change this court composed of people at will. Behind everyone is not one person, but a group of people. Being able to do more while protecting oneself is the greatest benefit for the country and the people. ”

Xuan Yuemeng nodded in understanding, only felt that Li Hongzhang was extremely supportive of himself, these few words were considered to be heartfelt, it was estimated that Xuan Hongtao would not have the opportunity to hear Li Hongzhang teach like this, and suddenly felt warm in his heart, and fell on Li Hongzhang's shoulder to be coquettish.

10,000 advertisements are not worth Li Hongzhang's words!

Before the end of the banquet, the commercial land launched by Xuan Yuemeng this time was sold out!

Timothy Li came to Xuan Yuemeng in surprise: "Mr. Yuemeng, it's all sold!" It's really all sold! Hurry up and increase sales planning! Let's launch the second phase of the site for pre-sale! ”

Xuan Yuemeng heard that all the commercial land for the sale batch was sold out this time, and her heart felt like she had drunk honey, but she still shook her head with a smile, "Mr. Timothy Li, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" Our current advertising is so good and so momentum, we can't lower the strong atmosphere that we have created with great difficulty, or according to the original plan, we will launch a batch of commercial land every month! The final land king will be launched in autumn next year! You are pushing out more land for sale, which makes people feel that we are in a hurry to sell, and the market will not be able to digest it, how can you raise the price later? ”

Timothy Li nodded understandingly, but now he is in a good mood, he only feels that Xuan Yuemeng is like a god, whatever Xuan Yuemeng says, he has nothing to say.
