0177 Don't make any noise
Hurd and McMarfoy got the news and came.
Jirin, Ito Hirobumi and others also got the news and came!
Date Sojo, Yanagihara Maemitsu, Wei Tuma, Luo Shuya, dozens of managers of foreign firms, compradors, and all those who can have anything to do with this matter have come.
Now Li Hongzhang's Beiyang Yamen is lively, similar to a vegetable market.
Hirofumi Ito: "Mr. Timothy Lee, how can you Klinsmann & Co. go back on your word like this?" How can the price be increased from 5 million to 20 million taels of Chinese official silver at once? ”
McMarfoy also said angrily: "You are robbing, I protest on behalf of the British government!" ”
Timothy Lee smiled and said, "It's ridiculous, this is a matter between our Klinsmann & Co. and the Beiyang Yamen, what does it have to do with you Japanese and British?" ”
McMarfoy: "Mr. Timothy Lee, but you and Lord Li Hongzhang have signed a new contract!" As long as someone can come up with 5 million taels of Chinese official silver, they can subcontract mines and power plants, how can this be said to be irrelevant? ”
Timothy Lee now felt that he was rich and wealthy, and he was not afraid of McMarfoy, so he straightened his waist and shouted, "Don't think that you British are great, I say that if it doesn't matter to you, it's not your business, no matter how powerful you Britons are, you must be reasonable, if you threaten with force again, my big deal is that I won't do business, I will pay five million taels of Chinese official silver to the German Navy for military expenses, and I will also protect the interests of our German businessmen in China!" ”
Timothy Lee's tough killer trick was also learned from Master Meng, who often said that if the gun is hard, the waist will be hard!
Sure enough, everyone present was amazed!
If, as Timothy Lee said, five million taels of Chinese official silver were invested in the German navy, the Germans would definitely have sent a fleet to China in order to protect the rights and interests of German merchants!
Hirofumi Ito: "Mr. Timothy Lee, you still have to be reasonable in everything, and if you really use such an arbitrary method to solve diplomatic and commercial problems, you will attract the collective opposition of all the countries in China, have you ever thought about this problem?" ”
Timothy Li was pressed by Ito Hirofumi, but he was not discouraged, "I'm just reasoning, I don't know what Lord Li Hongzhang Zhongtang said to our Mr. Yuemeng, but I see that such a contract is obviously unfair to our Klinsmann foreign company, I can't see it as if I didn't see it!" ”
Several people each showed their argumentative eloquence, and they quarreled fiercely.
Li Hongzhang's first quarrel was too big, and Sheng Xuanhuai replaced Li Hongzhang to negotiate with such a group of foreigners.
At this time, Young Master Meng came.
Young Master Meng, who has rested for a few days, is obviously in a much better spirit, wearing a pair of special sunglasses, wearing a Qing Dynasty pony coat, looking nondescript, and a big cow to play an umbrella, and vigorously obey Zhang Decheng, Wei Kuiheng and others.
Li Hongzhang can be regarded as having met a savior, and he said in his heart that if the little ancestor doesn't come again, he will talk about international wars here!
What is Li Hongzhang afraid of?
Li Hongzhang started in the Huai Army, but he is most afraid of war!
Anyway, no matter how you fight, it will be the bad luck of the Qing Kingdom to fight.
Hurd, McMauff, Jilin, Ito Hirobumi and others saw that Young Master Meng was coming, and they all came to the spirit.
Hurd: "Now, Mr. Timothy Lee, Mr. Yue Meng is a shareholder of your Klinsmann & Co., right?" What he said, you can always count, right? ”
Timothy Li was very surprised, why did Mr. Yuemeng suddenly run over and take Young Master Meng's hand in the past.
Hirofumi Ito: "Mr. Yuemeng, aren't you Chinese the most trustworthy?" Why can a good contract be reversed? ”
Young Master Meng smiled slightly: "I know everyone's disputes, I'm very strange, we just spent 500,000 taels to build a mine and power plant, why do you want to spend more money to subcontract?" Why do you want to get involved between us and the Beiyang Yamen? We only made this contract to refute the rumors, how do you know about it? If everyone gives up and does not come to participate in the affairs of our Klinsmann & Co. and Beiyang Yamen on continuing to contract, mines and power plants, will they not be able to quarrel? Alright, alright, let's all disperse. ”
Who will disperse?
The more Xuan Yuemeng is so understated, the more everyone feels that the potential of the mine is unlimited!
What's the scariest thing?
The hazy potential is the most terrifying, once people feel that something has potential, it is like being grabbed by a ghost on the head, and they just stuff it in!
If you can't come up with it, it's like speculating in stocks, everyone knows to buy low and sell high, but how many people really do it? When I fell, I desperately wanted to escape, and when I got to a high position, I clung to it desperately, and I couldn't wait to eat the sky in one bite!
Everyone was gossiping around Xuan Yuemeng.
Xuan Yuemeng walked to Li Hongzhang's side, held Li Hongzhang's hand, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to calm down.
Xuan Yuemeng: "Listen to me, if you continue to quarrel like this, it is not a solution, I said that I will buy back the mine and power plant to the Beiyang Yamen, as for how to deal with the Beiyang Yamen, it is a matter of the Beiyang Yamen, and it is useless for you to find me." Since everyone is so keen to contribute to the industry of the Qing Dynasty, I don't think so, it's still the old way, bidding! ”
When McMarfoy and Zhilin heard this, they felt their scalps tingle!
They have already been on Xuan Yuemeng once!
Last time in the Xuan family's old house, when the Xuan family was still living in Dashu Hutong, didn't it just catch lots and almost kill people? All of a sudden, Xuan Yuemeng cheated 100,000 taels!
Want to do this trick again, when we are all stupid? It's not just Naoli and McMauff who think so.
It took McMaroue a few months to calm down and bid for the trick again?
Timothy Lee suddenly came to his senses, "Yes, yes, just bid!" ”
Zhilin said to McMarford: "Mr. McMarford, we can't fall for this kid anymore, let's fight to break the blood and raise the price of this mine, and in the end, won't it all fall into his pocket?" ”
McMauff nodded, "Can't bid!" For five million taels of Chinese official silver, we Xingtai Xingyang Bank will take it! ”
Ito Hirofumi translated McMarfoy's words to Date Munjo, who snorted and said loudly, "No! We take it from a Japanese trading company! ”
Ito Hirofumi hurriedly translated it again for everyone to hear.
McMarfoy immediately quarreled with Hirobumi Ito, the British are the boss! The heart says that you are a little Japan, how dare you argue with the British Empire?
Of course, the Japanese are not blind in vain, and little Japan is just a lot of nonsense, and it takes out a lot of international relations and nonsense with the British. (To be continued.) )
