"Hehe, you also know that I am a person who is engaged in party affairs and technology, although I like to count, but I am too amateur to the economy. During the period when Lin Haifeng left Tianjing, the government of the Celestial Empire arranged for me to be Chairman Yang's economic assistant. So, I'm generally self-aware, and I rarely mess around with anything, and you also know that the Celestial Empire is difficult at the moment, it's very rare, and once there is a mistake, I can't afford to take that responsibility. ”

Seeing Ma Shali and Jin Nengheng who came to visit, as soon as the two sides sat down, Zheng Nan came to such an opening remark, and he couldn't help but make Ma Shali suddenly break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

"Lord...... H.E. President...... I...... In fact, our American government is completely from the perspective of your government, out of friendship with your government, and will repeatedly give advice to your government, "Of course, Mashali cannot confide the real situation in the country to the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in front of him, he is a thin donkey pulling hard, forcing the façade, and tirelessly preaching the many benefits of the railroad to the people's livelihood." Finally, he said, "Listening to Chairman Shi Dakai, your government is very vigilant against the possibility of interference from outside. To tell the truth, your country has a vast territory and a long border, and Xinjiang, Tibet, Mongolia, Northeast China and other places are all very easy targets for the British and Russian forces, the old enemies of your government. If, according to your government's concept, the railways from Longhai, Lanxin, Beijing-Shanghai, and Beijing to Mongolia and Heilongjiang can be completed in the shortest possible time, and the highways from Sichuan to Tibet, then even if an armed conflict breaks out somewhere, your government's troops will rush to the place where the war broke out at the fastest speed. Only in this way will you be able to maintain the long-term peace and stability of your country......"

Zheng Nan seemed to listen attentively, until Marshali dried his mouth and finally stopped to rest for a while, he looked at Marshali, who did not hesitate to fall into the trap for his British friends for the benefit of his country, and sighed thoughtfully, "It turns out that this railway still has such an important military role, hehe, if I don't listen to you guys, I really haven't thought so far." ”

There's a door! Vice Chairman Zheng's expression doubled the spirit of Ma Shali and Kim Nengheng. Ma Shali, who was really tired, hurriedly swept Jin Nengheng with urging eyes, and Jin Nengheng also leaned forward without hesitation, looked at Zheng Nan with great sincerity and modesty, and also made a rather moving tirade.

First of all, he thanked His Excellency Vice Chairman Zheng, in recent years, it is thanks to the convenience provided by the Celestial Empire in all aspects, which has made Tianlong Industry develop rapidly, and Tianlong Industry, which has only been born for more than two years, has now become one of the few industry and trade predators in the United States. He then told Vice President Cheng that this year was the year of their domestic election, and that their president, Fang Jingbo, was going all out to support the candidacy of Braham Lincoln, a former congressman and prominent lawyer from Illinois, for vice president. Then, he changed his words, first praising the Celestial Empire as a humane and democratic country, and it was difficult for the people living here to distinguish between high and low, and so on. When it came to them, he confessed with regret, but they couldn't, and although they seemed to be wafting the air of freedom everywhere, in the middle of it, they were still carrying the heavy burden of the 'black slave' who had nothing to do with freedom.

This time, he said, the hapless Pierce who was unwilling to be friendly with the Celestial Empire and tied himself to the Southern slave owners was out, and James Buchanan won the election. Although his attitude towards the abolition of slavery was ambiguous, he was much stronger than Pierce. Mr. Lincoln was a pioneer in the abolition of slavery, and if he could become vice president, he would be able to assist Mr. President in properly resolving the 'black slave' problem that had plagued them for many years as soon as possible, which would undoubtedly be a great news for those black slaves living at the bottom of society, and it would also be similar to the equality of all people proposed by Vice Chairman Zheng and the Celestial Empire Communist League.

In the end, he also said that the election is actually quite cruel, not only about money, but also mixed with all kinds of inexplicable conspiracies and tricks from various forces. However, it would always be in the interest of the American people and a blessing for America's friends such as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government if a president could be elected in the end. At this critical moment, if the Celestial Empire government can give Tianlong Industry some commercial benefits, then American citizens who like to value money more than their lives will follow behind Tianlong Industry and become supporters of Mr. Lincoln......

Zheng Nan listened carefully to Jin Nengheng's talk, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked Jin Nengheng very casually, "Is it that your Tianlong Industrial Headquarters has also hoarded a large amount of steel?" ”

"No," Kim Nenghyung not only blurted out his answer without hesitation, but even had a smug smile on his face, "Our Mr. President has never done this kind of speculative business. ”

"Alas, that's even more difficult," Zheng Nan frowned, looking very regretful, "You also know that since when you were still in Shanghai, your proprietress named Sang Yu had taken the initiative to cooperate with our Celestial Empire government, so our director Lin Haifeng, who likes to talk about face, has also given you a lot of convenience to your current Tianlong, of course, it is also a convenience under mutual benefit." But it's different now, as far as I know, at the moment, not only the prices of steel on your side, but also cotton textiles, grain, etc., are going straight down like a slide. It seems that the price of steel rails has been reduced by nearly half compared to our contract price last year, alas...... As soon as I got the news from below, I was distressed that I couldn't eat or sleep well for several days. ”

Zheng Nan's face was really extremely painful, "Tell me, if you had known that there was today, how good would it be to delay last year's railway project?" The money for one project can complete two projects. ”

Kim Nenghyung and Mashali grinned and looked at each other, how did he know about these situations? Thinking about it again, not only did I get dizzy for a while, it was really evil, but there was such a reckoning? If we know about bedwetting, then why don't we go to sleep with you on the sieve?

"You have all seen it, what a tattered mess that the damn Manchu Qing left us, we need money everywhere, all I have dreamed about these days is the ingots flying in front of me," Zheng Nan looked distressed and blamed himself, "Everyone worships us as gods, but we actually use the people's hard-earned money to play in the water, you say, who are we worth?" ”

In front of such a "calculating" person, Ma Shali and Jin Nengheng only had their heads bored and had nothing to say.

"Because of Director Lin's face," Zheng Nan said this, looking at the two guests who began to raise their heads again, and their eyes began to shine with hope, they muttered for a while, and finally shook their heads, "Originally, I wanted to help you Boss Jin." If you have stock, you might as well lower the price a little more, and we'll be done with our eyes closed. But look at it, at the moment, your Tianlong is not in stock, if I promise you, you will have to go to someone else to buy it, and then resell it to us, invisibly, the price will have to rise again. You're a veteran of business, think about it, what do you do when you change it? ”

Jin Nengheng lowered his head, not daring to face Zheng Nan's still kind gaze.

"Actually, no matter how poor we are, if we are for our friends, it will be no problem to save you a Tianlong industry. But we can't save your whole America. Poverty is a reason, and it is the most terrible thing to hurt the interests of the people of the Heavenly Dynasty from this," Zheng Nan sighed for a moment, then turned to smile slightly, "We have also really learned a lot from your difficult situation. Don't dare to spend lavishly, wait and see, when the price is right, we will still consider it. ”

Seeing the disappointed looks on the faces of Ma Shali and Jin Nengheng, Zheng Nan then began to cheer them up again, "Soon, our Director Lin will go to France for a field trip, and I think his trip may bring you some good news." ”

Mashali felt sad for a while, he looked up at Vice Chairman Zheng, opened his mouth a few times, and finally couldn't think of what to say better.

"Also, I sincerely remind you, Mr. Minister," Zheng Nan looked meaningfully at Marshali, "and it is none other than the Englishman who has dumped a large number of cheap goods on your land. Of course, some people always like to do this, and when they lift a stone and try to throw it at someone else, they forget that the stone they hold in their hands will also fall on the surface of their own feet. ”
