Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "Okay, I'll help Lord Zhongtang pick out two of them, and put them in the Klinsmann Hotel, whether Lord Zhongtang needs them or not, anyway, these two women must be put away and not in contact with anyone!" Moreover, I am the only one who knows about it! ”

Li Hongzhang smiled slightly: "Yue Meng, don't learn well, this is a bribe." ”

Xuan Yue said in her heart, you charge one million taels, isn't that a bribe? What's it all about? "This is filial piety, Lord Zhongtang, that is, the three who lead the dance, either one in one and one in the foreign, if you don't like foreigners, both of them are in the middle, or do you say, all three stay? Of the two, one foreign? What do you think? ”

Li Hongzhang squinted his eyes and looked at the three women leading the dance, "The child will be fooling around, why don't you bring a foreign girl back to your grandfather?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Okay, then the two, Lord Zhongtang, relax, just watch the performance, bribery, refers to people want to ask people to do things, I don't want to ask Lord Zhongtang to do anything, look at you, if you don't agree, I will never pester you to talk nonsense." ”

Li Hongzhang smiled and nodded, "You kid, I really don't know who was reincarnated." ”

Seeing that Li Hongzhang acquiesced, Young Master Meng breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and asked Timothy Li to go over to accompany Li Hongzhang to talk, while he went over to sit with Zhao Qingluo.

Zhao Qingluo said softly: "This is all arranged by you?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng snorted, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Qingluo's pink face was still blushing, and she didn't dare to watch those singers dance, "People from the Great Qing Kingdom, and foreigners, where did you go to find these women?" What are you wearing? What are you dancing on? ”

Young Master Meng smiled: "You are rare and strange, this is a very common thing in foreign countries, isn't dancing just for men?" Have you ever seen an ancient painting from the Tang Dynasty? Isn't that how people dress? It's called vintage. ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and thought that she was actually talking about retro in ancient times.

Zhao Qingluo snorted lightly, "It's still retro?" You don't learn well, at such a young age, a belly of fancy intestines, it will definitely be bad in the future! ”

Xuan Yuemeng looked at Zhao Qingluo and took a sip of milk, "I have bad thoughts about you alone, and I have never had anything to do with others." ”

Zhao Qingluo didn't look at Xuan Yuemeng, knowing that he was starting again, "Also, why do you know everything like such a young child, you are more powerful than adults, and you can be as ...... as adults."

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Didn't I tell you?" I've practiced magic skills! Internal strength, have you heard of it? Why can a qigong master penetrate masonry with one finger? That's the same for me. ”

Zhao Qingluo heard Yuemeng make a penetrating analogy, it was better to have a pink face, and no longer talked to him about that topic, "So, you can want your sister-in-law?" ”

Young Master Meng sweated, just now he said the words of marrying Zhao Qingluo, it seems that Zhao Qingluo went to his heart, he was happy and excited, "Of course, you are not my sister-in-law now, I can naturally marry you!" As long as you wait for me, ten years, ten years of me, marry you! ”

Zhao Qingluo snorted softly, "That's your business, maid, you also have your own power, I won't marry to death." ”

Young Master Meng sweated, thinking that Zhao Qingluo was willing, "What do you mean?" Look at Li Zhongtang, he can want those young girls, why, can't? ”

Zhao Qingluo saw that the two beautiful beauties leaned on Li Hongzhang in the past, and several people laughed and laughed, and the scene was joyful, and she frowned secretly, "You see me like them?" ”

Young Master Meng said: "Of course not, but you seem to look down on these girls?" Are they making a living, too? Everyone has their own opportunities, and they can't look down on any profession. ”

Zhao Qingluo: "What qualifications do I have to look down on people?" If I hadn't been bought into the Xuan family since I was a child, maybe, I would just be a kiln sister. ”

Young Master Meng sweated, and he didn't know why Zhao Qingluo's self-esteem was so strong, so sensitive, the temper of the royal sister, and Lin Daiyu's fragility, were very incongruous and focused on Zhao Qingluo's body.

Young Master Meng: "If you were a kiln sister, I wouldn't dislike you!" ”

Zhao Qingluo looked at Xuan Yuemeng: "What you said is quite heroic, but unfortunately, I am not Sister Yao, if someone wants to send me to the kiln now, I will bite my tongue." ”

Young Master Meng smiled, "If you want to go, it's impossible!" For the rest of your life, you will live a life of fine clothes and food. ”

Zhao Qingluo sighed softly, "In the future, don't say those words to me again, I'm your maid, I don't expect you to treat me as a sister." ”

Young Master Meng sweated, "Naturally, why should I treat you as a sister?" If you don't like it, I'll never mention it again, but if I don't say it to you once, how do you know what I think? If I don't mention it for many years after this, don't think I've forgotten, it's you who won't let me mention it! If you nod your head, I can marry you now! ”

Zhao Qingluo shook her head, "Don't say it again." Don't mention this again. ”

Although no substantial progress has been made on this trip to sea, when Li Hongzhang got off the ship, Timothy Li had already become familiar with Li Hongzhang a lot, and they could walk side by side, which was also a great improvement in the eyes of Young Master Meng.

At least, in the future, if this is the case, Timothy Lee can be asked to find Li Hongzhang, and Li Hongzhang will no longer see Timothy Lee on the shelf.

After getting off the boat, Xuan Yuemeng had already fallen asleep in Zhao Qingluo's arms.

Zhao Qingluo gently kissed Xuan Yuemeng's chubby face, looked at the immature chubby face, and sighed slightly.

Zhao Qingluo couldn't figure out why Xuan Yuemeng was smarter than an adult, even smarter than thousands of adults, she was also very urban, and she was very old and spicy, but these behaviors coincided with this immature little chubby face, but they were really out of tune.

Master Meng is still busy in the next days, although the textile factory is moving, but the output, quality, can not satisfy Master Meng, the most important thing is that he does not have the ability to develop finished machinery by himself, and the speed of replacement cannot catch up with Europe!

If you want to find a piece of land in the local market, you can only use the price to go to a remote place, and in a big city, it is not a rival to foreign goods at all!

At present, the only things that make money are fires, cigarettes, alcohol, soap, dish soap, shampoo, lighters, and other small commodities.

The most profitable thing is still tobacco and alcohol!

Those messy small commodities, although the audience is very wide, but Master Meng didn't expect that the consumption level of this era is too low, although these audiences are very broad, it is for the whole society!

But the people didn't use it before, and they still won't use it now, not to mention the price is doubled, even if everyone still uses leaves to wash clothes, it is the price of a penny, and the vast majority of people will not consider bathing with soap laundry detergent!

Just like a lighter, the sales of lighters are far from catching up with foreign fire, and the sales of matches do not know how many times that of lighters, which is also because of the price, in the Qing Dynasty, only the price is the most competitive thing!

Tobacco and alcohol are different, because tobacco and alcohol not only have a wide audience, but also have different prices! Different positioning, almost to kill one by one, soon seriously impacted the local market!

In the area of tobacco and alcohol, foreigners' goods account for a small proportion, because of the difference in taste and habits, and they are too lazy to compete with Klinsmann's foreign company, or in other words, foreigners don't value this piece at all!

Large-scale factories, as well as Xuan Yuemeng's porcelain factory, originally wanted to use porcelain to enter the European and American markets, but his industrial production of porcelain technology, has always been of poor quality, has invited several masters to study with foreigners, but the technical difficulties have been in the process of breaking, it seems that engaging in industry, absolutely not as simple as he imagined, he does not know how long the technology of the porcelain factory will take shape.

Now the porcelain produced by the porcelain factory cannot guarantee the whiteness of the whole body, so it can only take the low-end route.

Although they have entered the European and American markets, several foreign companies have asked them to order, but the price has not gone up, making a large enterprise! (More than 3,000 people.) The profits generated are not as good as those generated by foreign fire factories, and the profits generated by small businesses with more than 100 people are engaged!

Moreover, the amount of money invested by Young Master Meng in the porcelain factory has almost reached 200,000 taels!

They already have the profits of big cigarettes, of course they don't, they value the cigarette trade, but the cigars of the Klinsmann Tobacco Factory can be sold to other foreign companies, and are exported to Europe and the United States, but this sales volume is not enough to drive the development speed of the entire development zone.

In order not to disgust Zhao Qingluo, Young Master Meng changed his official room from next door to Zhao Qingluo's to the industrial zone, and to the upstairs of his newly opened grain processing factory!

In this way, it became that he did not go to Zhao Qingluo every day, but Zhao Qingluo often came to him, sometimes twice in the morning.

Zhao Qingluo: "Why did you move here to work?" How inconvenient? ”

Young Master Meng smiled: "It's convenient, I'm convenient, anyway, I'm mainly in the industrial area, and besides, you have a carriage, and you don't need to walk, what's inconvenient for you?" ”

Zhao Qingluo: "You withdrew three million taels from the account?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "I figured it out, the slow development is the slow development, I will let people change it to gold bars and save it!" These three million taels, as life-saving money, can no longer live a life without a little savings, and the exchange for gold bars is also an investment, and the future will continue to rise, only gold bars! Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times! ”

Zhao Qingluo sighed, "I'm just asking, do you think it will be messy in the future?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "The next few decades may not be peaceful!" ”

Zhao Qingluo was puzzled: "Then why did you invest in this processing plant again?" Food is big business! It's very expensive, and you have squeezed the local business name to the point that it is difficult to survive! Do you want to grab the local market? You took away all the profits of more than 200,000 taels this month, leaving 30,000 taels? ”

Xuan Yuemeng said with a smile: "Leave 30,000 taels every month, which is reserved for your turnover, used to maintain the construction of the wharf and the development zone, you just keep this speed, and I will be satisfied with the completion of the wharf and the development zone within four years. ”

Zhao Qingluo shook her head gently, "I don't know what you think, for a while, you are more anxious than anyone else, and for a while, you are not in a hurry than anyone else, I thought you were very anxious about the construction of the American concession and the wharf." ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled, "I'm in a hurry to make money, I'm not in a hurry for the rest, we just made a lot of money on foreigners, now it's time to keep a low profile, they can do whatever they like!" I don't want to compete with them anymore now, I want to integrate the local industry and hold the national industry of the Great Qing Kingdom in my hands! Let them all be the secondary distributors and secondary manufacturers of our foreign company! A new force has been formed, and I have not given them a way to live! ”

Zhao Qingluo understood a little, and sighed softly, "You are so domineering." You want to be the overlord of the northern business community. ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled slightly, "I not only want to dominate the northern business community, I also want to expand my business to the whole country, I want to expand abroad, first integrate the domestic market, do you have anything to ask?" ”

Zhao Qingluo shook her head, "No, you haven't told anyone about your thoughts, I have to ask you." (To be continued.) )
