Young Master Meng let eleven or twelve-year-old girls like Yueyan and Yuerong start to contact government affairs, and they have similar needs, and Young Master Meng's vision of layout is still quite long-term.

More than 1,000 outstanding workers selected from Klinsmann's foreign company have been sent to the United States for further study, and it is Columbia University that Master Meng asked the U.S. Consulate to contact!

At this time, there are not many universities in the United States, and there are only a dozen or so high-grade universities, why choose Columbia University? Mainly because if you choose one, it is convenient for centralized management.

This is the first batch of international students in modern China in the true sense. And chemistry at Columbia University is particularly good.

After thinking about it, Young Master Meng felt that Columbia University was the most suitable for the current needs, if you want to build a country, the talent in chemical industry is the most important, machinery, chemical industry, these two pieces will be up, and the technological gap between the old capitalist countries will be narrowed all of a sudden.

Regarding science, about industry, Master Meng can only provide a direction, his level is not up to the requirements of scientists at all, scientists in this era, even if they are put in modern times, are also at the level of graduate students.

Even, more solid than the foundation of modern graduate students. In the past 100 years, although it is the era of the explosion of human knowledge, the basic knowledge has basically been perfected in the era of Young Master Meng.

Of course, this group of people was sent out together with Li Hongzhang's 30 international students, and the people sent out by Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan were really too few, even if there were so few, there were still several scientists and sociologists among them, and the most famous one was Zhan Tianyou!

The first railway built by the Chinese was made by Brother Zhan.

The long causeway in the US Concession, with a row of neat and bright street lights, is no less than the Bund in Shanghai.

"Do you like Mr. Yuemeng?" Catherine took Zhao Qingluo's hand and suddenly asked, "Huh?" ”

Zhao Qingluo was slightly stunned, and suddenly blushed, "Catherine, what are you talking nonsense?" Young Master Meng is only a little more than a year old, and he is still a few days away from being two years old. I'm sixteen years apart from him, how could I like her? ”

Catherine laughed, "What are you blushing for?" You didn't say anything about yourself, and I didn't say anything? Where do you want to go? This shows that in your heart, you still regard Mr. Yuemeng as an adult. ”

Zhao Qingluo stomped her foot gently, "Catherine, don't talk nonsense?" Why do I think he's an adult? ”

Catherine smiled, "Hmph, don't admit it yet, as long as I'm with you, no matter what you say, you look very gentle and have no idea, but as long as you talk about Mr. Yuemeng, you will come back to life immediately, and you dare not admit it?" Both of us know whether Mr. Yuemeng is a child or not, yes, maybe Mr. Yuemeng is really young, but he is already thinking like an adult, and don't you think he is much smarter than most adults? Moreover, he is also very capable to tell you that if I didn't have a husband, I would have to marry Mr. Yuemeng. ”

Zhao Qingluo sighed softly, "Catherine, what are you talking nonsense?" Yue Meng is still a child! ”

Catherine giggled, "Look at you, you dare to say that you don't like Mr. Yuemeng?" ”

Zhao Qingluo sighed, "You really shouldn't learn Chinese, if you come into contact with our people from the Great Qing Kingdom for a while, you will bring a lot of women to you." ”

After Young Master Meng took the American Concession, one of his greatest contributions was to promote the contact between foreigners and Chinese workers.

In the American concession, in the industrial zone, foreigners are all hired by Master Meng, so the status and Chinese managers, compradors, that are all equal, on the basis of equality, this exchange is the fastest, and it can also quickly let the two sides understand each other, Master Meng's Klinsmann foreign company, has become more and more civilized, like a small society.

Young Master Meng had a meeting, what should happen to the American concession and industrial zone, but Timothy Li was in full swing with the consulates of Britain, France, Germany, the United States, and the four countries according to Master Meng's instructions.

The consuls of Britain, France, Germany, the United States, and the four countries were very interested in Xuan Yuemeng's proposal, mainly because they all felt that it was not necessary to build such a large harbor wharf in Tianjin, and Young Master Meng was built according to the standard of a million-ton wharf in later generations, if it was according to the scale, it would be enough to use it until the twenty-first century! Coupled with the commercial land in the US Concession and the intensive construction of small high-rise buildings, the land price in the US Concession is soaring!

The consuls of Britain, France, Germany, the United States, and the four countries, of course, knew what this meant? It means that Tianjin will soon replace Beijing and become the economic center of North China! Railways are not allowed to be built at both ends of Beijing and Tianjin, and if a railway can be laid, Tianjin can now become the most important economic city in the north.

The difference between the two sides is still in the price, and the total price set by Master Meng for the port terminal is 20 million taels! At the beginning, the U.S. Consulate packaged and sold the entire U.S. Concession to Master Meng, and it was only five million taels! How many times has it multiplied in less than a year? Because the wharf is only a small part of the US concession, the land is the big one.

It's simply too expensive.

The consulates of the four countries gave a price of 5 million taels, and they believed that the price of 5 million taels of Chinese official silver was a reasonable range for the US Concession wharf now.

"Is that really what the consulates of the four of them say?" Master Meng sat indifferently in the office of Meng Yuan, Master Meng is not going out now, during this time, he can't take care of the project in the industrial zone for the time being, and the biggest thing at the moment is to integrate resources and cash out as soon as possible! Prepare for the imminent worldwide economic crisis! "It's hard."

Timothy Li heard that Mr. Yuemeng said that it was difficult to do, and he had no choice, "Mr. Yuemeng, can't you use the method you used to sell those thirty-five gambling houses in Beijing?" ”

Young Master Meng shook his head, "The situation is different!" The 35 gambling houses have a great degree of freedom, and I am not in a hurry, there are many foreign companies that can be bought, and this is a wharf, which is of a government nature, and ordinary businessmen dare not buy it at all! Moreover, how many foreign companies will it take to eat a dock? When there are too many people, the news will leak, and when the time comes, there will be Li Hongzhang's intervention, and there will be no need to act immediately, only these four consulates, they are our only source of customers! That's why they came to talk to us. ”

Timothy Li frowned, "Mr. Yuemeng, I really don't understand, why are you in a hurry to sell the American Concession wharf?" (To be continued.) )
