Xuan Yuemeng squinted at Waitabu: "I know that the emperor is about to get married, and I also know the strength of your family, and I will definitely contribute more tribute when the emperor gets married, money is a small matter for you, but what I want to say is that if the money is not used in the place, it may not be able to squeeze out the opportunity for Wen Xiang to be promoted to Wenhua Palace!" Therefore, I want to contract your father's promotion to the Wenhua Palace, and I will give you gifts and pay tribute for you! ”

Waitabu glared at Xuan Yuemeng: "The matter of gift-giving, everything that can be given has been given, mainly because of the emperor's wedding and tribute, how can you contract?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Don't worry, I naturally have my own way, I want to contract your family's tribute, that is, if we make a contract, the tribute will be contracted by our Klinsmann Foreign Bank!" You don't have to worry about it, if your father is successfully promoted to a scholar of the Mandarin Palace, you can pay me three million taels of silver! In addition, you have to ask Lord Ruilin to play and support our Klinsmann Foreign Company in selling smoking cessation pills, and I have already persuaded Lord Li Hongzao and several governors that if anyone takes the lead in supporting this matter, everyone will second. If your father didn't successfully make up for Lord Wuren's Mandarin Hall scholar this time, the money to help your family pay tribute can be regarded as our Klinsmann Foreign Company thrown into the water, how about it? ”

The tribute of the Ruilin family is actually the tribute of the two Guangzhou, a thing of the same thing, the Qing Dynasty can last so long in the end, it is Cixi's balancing technique to play well, in fact, all the local officials are a piece of heaven, and Cixi is by controlling several governors. Take control of the world!

The imperial power is orthodox and rooted in the hearts of the people, and Cixi is the supreme imperial power in her hands, at least she has always been played with in the palm of her hand, in addition, Cixi has another advantage. You can sell the sovereignty of the country and borrow money from foreigners, which is why Cixi lived to death and the Qing Dynasty was not overthrown.

Waitab frowned, three million taels of silver, what a lot! He agreed with his father this time to pay one million taels of silver to settle the emperor's wedding! That's two million taels of silver! Moreover, why should I trust a child? "You're really just trying to sell what you said about smoking cessation pills? Why should I believe you? What the hell can you do to hold down Prince Gong? Who sent you? ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled slightly, "I'm the representative of Klinsmann's foreign company, if you insist on saying who sent me." It was Klinsmann & Co., a German-owned foreign firm that sent me. Foreigners still can't suppress Prince Gong? Isn't Prince Gong relying on the power of foreigners? We are talking about business now, this business has succeeded or failed, there is no risk to you, the risk is all borne by our foreign bank, is there any problem? ”

Waitab looked at Rong Lu beside him and asked softly, "How is it?" ”

Rong Lu also whispered in Waitabu's ear: "I can't see the number of roads this kid has, but." If what he said is true, it will indeed be beneficial to us. There's no risk at all. ”

Waitab still felt that this fact was ridiculous, and it was too sudden, "We understand the kindness of Guiyangxing, but I am an official." I'm not a businessman, I'm not used to talking to people about business, and I'm not used to talking about business with a child who is less than a year old. ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Lord Waitabu." If I'm not in a hurry, I'm going to the German consulate to do some business, can you two deign to accompany me? Just go to the German consulate for a cup of coffee. I'm not in a hurry about what I just said, if you're not interested, let's not talk about it, anyway, our foreign bank is so big, a business, for us, it doesn't matter. ”

Waitabu and Rong Lu glanced at each other again, obviously Xuan Yuemeng found them first, but now that they were rejected, they could actually be quiet, and no longer talked about this topic, and quickly changed the direction.

He wants to take them to the German consulate, no need to ask, just to show them his relationship with the Germans, and tell them that he is not bragging, not only to leave a gap in his words, not to let the business collapse completely, but also to be able to lift weights as lightly, is really a very good businessman.

Rong Lu was very interested in Xuan Yuemeng, and he was not afraid of what a child could do in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Master Huai, just play." ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Yes, I will send the two adults back to the door of the Japanese Mansion later, the sedan chair of the two adults is still there, now we have talked and talked, out of the street, as the two adults, do you want to hire a car to go back?" ”

Waitabu smiled, "I'm really a prodigy, I've thought of everything, okay, just go and see it, I'm really rare to see foreigners!" I haven't even drunk any coffee that Xuan Gongzi said. ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "The first time I drink it, I will feel a little bitter, put some sugar, take a sip to get used to it first, it's not bad to get used to it." ”

Xuan Yuemeng stood up, patted the window again, and asked the driver to go to the German consulate! Countries in China have consulates in Beijing.

The German consul naturally recognized Xuan Yuemeng and received him very warmly, Xuan Yuemeng did not introduce Waittab and Ronglu in detail to the German consul, only said that it was a ******** official who wanted to do business with Germany, or an ordinary official.

The German consul was polite to Xuan Yuemeng, and listened to Xuan Yuemeng talk about the difficulties encountered by Klinsmann & Co., and said that the British and French alliance hindered the development of Klinsmann & Co., and blocked Klinsmann's purchase of materials, and the German consul had long known about it, and said that he would definitely intensify his protests, and had been negotiating with Germany and the British and French consulates to resolve this matter, and Xuan Yuemeng repeatedly emphasized the importance of Klinsmann & Co. to German industry and commerce in China.

Xuan Yuemeng and the German consul spoke in German throughout the whole process, and Xuan Yuemeng's current German level can communicate simply, although she is not very proficient, but she doesn't need a translator.

When the German consul heard Xuan Yuemeng say that Waitab and Rong Lu were just ordinary officials of the Qing Dynasty, he behaved very coldly, and his attitude towards them was not as good as Xuan Yuemeng's follower Xuan Dali.

In the eyes of the Qing court, no matter which country's consul it is, it is extremely bullish, and Waitab and Rong Lu saw the German consul's attitude towards Xuan Yuemeng. I believe ten percent! It is true that only foreigners can suppress Prince Gong, and Xuan Yuemeng did not blow it indiscriminately.

Of course, Xuan Yuemeng would not be stupid enough to tell foreigners that a Chinese official was going to be promoted, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and when Britain and France knew, wouldn't that cause more unnecessary trouble? The German consul would not pay attention to such a thing, but fortunately, where did Waittab and Ronglu understand German?

Xuan Yuemeng shook hands with the German consul and said goodbye. Come out with two people.

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "I'll send the two of you back to the Wafu now." ”

After Waitab saw that Xuan Yuemeng came out of the German Consulate, he no longer mentioned the matter he just said, and his heart was a little itchy, he had worked hard for his father during this time to be able to enter the cabinet, and he didn't have any eyebrows at all! Now that an opportunity is sent, how can you not be tempted?

Along the way, Xuan Yuemeng talked and laughed with the two of them about some snacks in Beijing, and Xuan Yuemeng had never been to Beijing, showing his innocent side. Let the two people talk more, shorten the distance between each other, and then answer some questions about Klinsmann & Co., Xuan Yuemeng should deal with it decently, of course, it is necessary to brag about Klinsmann & Co., as if Klinsmann & Co. represents the German royal industry. Xuan Yuemeng also hinted that the relationship between her family and Li Hongzao was not ordinary, and the purpose of the hint was to imply. It was to make Waitab feel that if this matter could really be concluded as Xuan Yuemeng said, a contract. It will be guaranteed by a big man like Li Hongzao!

Actually, the biggest difficulty in this matter is that Waittab doesn't want to leave anything written!

Xuan Yuemeng is sure to leave something in writing, wait for Lao Tzu to finish the official run for you, you don't admit it, isn't it very troublesome?

Anyway. After coming out of the German consulate, Xuan Yuemeng never mentioned what she just said about running for Ruilin.

Xuan Yuemeng didn't mention it, and Waitabu didn't mention it, so Xuan Yuemeng sent the two of them back to Wuren's mansion, so that the two of them could take a sedan chair outside the gate.

Waittab couldn't hold it back. "Master Xuan has been living in Lord Li's house all these days? Is it a long stay or is it about to leave? ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled, "Let's stay for two or three days, this time I will mainly accompany my grandfather to see Master Li, and I will go back to Tianjin in a few days." ”

Waittab sighed, "That...... What Xuan Gongzi said just now, was it serious, or did he say it casually? Can Xuan Gongzi do such a big thing alone? ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Of course it's serious, before I came, I had already discussed with our foreign bank, and we wanted to find a big backer in the court!" If it is those people who have already entered the cabinet, even if they spend money on them, they may not appreciate it, we very much appreciate the family background of Lord Ruilin and Lord Waitab, but this matter is too big, if Lord Waittab can't be the master, just when I didn't say anything just now, everyone makes friends, and if Lord Waittab and Lord Ronglu come to Tianjin to play in the future, I will definitely do my best in the American Concession. ”

Waitabu and Rong Lu looked at Xuan Yuemeng's bearing, and then looked at Xuan Yuemeng's more than 20 house slaves, one by one, standing upright and serving with style, which increased some confidence in Xuan Yuemeng.

Still, Waittab didn't promise anything on the spot.

Xuan Yuemeng beat a drum in his heart, although he knew that it was impossible to say this thing here, and that side would immediately hit it off, but with his previous business perspective, he felt that the hope of this thing finally coming to fruition was still slim!

Xuan Yuemeng didn't think that the price of three million taels of silver he set was too high, he knew that Xuan Zonglu's net worth could be millions of taels, and families like Waitabu and Ruilin, even if they took out two or thirty million taels of silver, it might not be impossible, three million taels was not too high for them to accept! Xuan Yuemeng is worried that in the absence of friendship, people will worry that this is a trap.

When Xuan Yuemeng said goodbye at the end, she wanted to say something more, but she forcibly held back, and just added, "Goodbye!" ”

Even if he felt uncertain in his heart, Xuan Yuemeng still didn't lower his posture in the slightest, as if it wasn't the Waittab he was looking for, but as if Waitabu was begging him.

After Waitabu and Rong Lu left, Xuan Yuemeng continued to wait for Xuan Zonglu and Li Hongzao, Li Hongzao's sedan chair was still there, indicating that Li Hongzao and Xuan Zonglu were still inside and had not come out.

Xuan Yuemeng patiently waited for the two old men in the car.

Li Hongzao and Xuan Zonglu finally came out, Li Hongzao's eyes were red, and he obviously cried again inside, looking depressed.

Xuan Zonglu got into Xuan Yuemeng's carriage after helping Li Hongzao, who was already crying and almost collapsed, into the sedan chair, "How is it?" Did you just intercept Waitabu? ”

Xuan Yuemeng nodded.

Xuan Zonglu was very interested: "Oh? You told him? ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled faintly: "I said it, but the hope doesn't seem to be big, forget it, let's go back first." ”

On the way back, Xuan Yuemeng roughly told Xuan Zonglu about her thoughts and the process of talking about it just now.

Xuan Zonglu was shocked, holding Xuan Yuemeng's little fat paws, "You really opened Grandpa's eyes, you dare to say anything, three million taels of tribute to two Guangzhou, you dare to say this?" Where are you going to get three million taels of silver? If you sell all the antique calligraphy and paintings that I have saved all my life, there may not be two million taels, and if those things are sold suddenly, they will not be sold at a good price, but they can slowly appreciate in value if they are kept. Besides, is it really that important? Don't you only have a small stake in Klinsmann & Co.? Pour it, pour it, just throw it into the water. Don't put your own money in it, do you hear? ”

Xuan Yuemeng calmly analyzed: "Actually, it depends on whether Waitabu will come to me, three million taels?" I'm not so stupid to give him a tribute of three million, a tribute worth more than a million taels at the Governor's Council? How much is the tax paid in a year in the Qing Dynasty? The most remarkable thing is the tribute of three or four hundred thousand taels of silver, I directly doubled it, and I don't need one million taels, if I can really do it, I can still earn more than two million taels of silver! ”

Xuan Zonglu smiled bitterly, "You dare to think about anything!" Then why don't you say, how sure are you that you can win Prince Gong? Do you know Prince Gong's power in the Manchu Dynasty? It is not an exaggeration to say that Prince Gong's power is all over the world, and if he stomps his feet, the Qing Kingdom will tremble three times! If Waittab comes back to you, don't talk about it again! Did you hear that? You can't do it! Who is Waittabhe? Ruilin is not much richer than you, if it is something that money can do, why do people spend more money to find you to do it? If you can't do it, even if you don't spend a million taels, then the money will be thrown into the water? Do you know how much effort it took for grandpa to save a million taels in the first place? It will take most of my life! This is still your grandfather's luck, all he gets is fat, and the average third- or fourth-grade official, where can he save millions of taels of silver? Now that you have all the money, you can be a little rich honestly, isn't that good? ”

Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "You are an old-fashioned person's idea, why should I be an honest little millionaire?" I don't want to be bullied, I want to cultivate my own power, if I don't fight or fight, where will the development come from? Now there is no rebellion, there is no war, otherwise I would still want to lead the troops to fight! ”

Xuan Zonglu really understood his little grandson completely this time, what a bold child! Still want to fight?
