Zhou Fu saw Li Hongzhang agree, naturally happy, "I hope the imperial court will not object this time, this is indeed a favorable thing, I have never heard of such a thing, if this thing is done, our Xigu city construction project can be solved immediately, I have been to see the American Concession wharf, it is indeed very strong, the cement of foreigners is indeed magical, the method of adding steel bars to the cement can make the building more solid, and the speed of forming is much faster than our soil method." This time, thanks to Yue Meng, this kid is really interesting. ”

Thinking of Xuan Yuemeng, Li Hongzhang smiled unconsciously, "This kid also played Jingshou yesterday." ”

Zhou Fu laughed: "I also heard our family Xuexi say yesterday, it's all children playing, adults won't be angry, right?" ”

Li Hongzhang laughed: "What do you think of the old man?" Will this be angry? The old man was thinking, Yue Meng, this child, is indeed an unborn genius, just say that Ji Zejiu is in contact with foreigners, just like that, Ji Ze is not fluent in foreign language, this child is less than a year old, he can actually speak fluent foreign language, and can understand foreign language, if it wasn't for Yue Meng last time, we would have to pay hundreds of thousands of taels more to the French! The matter of the Tianjin lesson plan will not be so easy to solve. ”

The two of them talked about it, and they were in a much happier mood, and Li Hongzhang had already written an excerpt to be urgently handed to the imperial court when they were talking, blew it, dried the ink on it, and immediately ordered the guards to rush to Beijing for 800 miles.

Li Hongzhang's biggest advantage is that he has efficiency, as long as he thinks something is good, he will immediately start to do it, and the way of doing things is usually correct, because Li Hongzhang is willing to listen to the suggestions of the people below, and Li Hongzhang is very good at employing people and attaches great importance to talents, which is very appreciated by Xuan Yuemeng.

Li Hongzhang's excerpt caused a fierce debate in the imperial court, and most of the ministers thought that there could be no such foreigners in the world, and that there could be no such foreigners, and that there must be a conspiracy behind the foreigners! They all think it's better not to have contact with foreigners.

After several days of heated discussions, there was no follow-up, and the Empress Dowager Cixi had to ask the Military Aircraft Department to copy and send it to the various governors' yamen, and all the governors discussed the matter together!

What are the conditions for information transmission in this era? No matter how fast it is, the horses run, and the governors who are farther away, such as the governors of Yungui, will take more than a month to come and go, and they don't know how many good horses they have to run.

Xuan Yuemeng didn't know the rhythm of the imperial court, and she waited for many days without any follow-up, and she was in a hurry! The day of the celebration of the victory of the Franco-Prussian War has arrived, and whether or not it can establish a cooperative relationship with the Beiyang Yamen is the biggest good news that Xuan Yuemeng can count on! If his foreign bank wants to appreciate, it must rely on this good news!

Xuan Yuemeng had a feeling that she was about to collapse, and the day before the celebration, she couldn't help it, and told Zeng Jize what happened, Zeng Jize also thought it was a good thing, and was sent by Xuan Yuemeng to visit Li Hongzhang.

Zeng Jize came back and passed the news that the court did not reply to Xuan Yuemeng, and Xuan Yuemeng almost fainted.

Zeng Jize saw Xuan Yuemeng's little face pale, hurriedly held Xuan Yuemeng's little hand, and touched Xuan Yuemeng's brain, "What's wrong?" Yue Meng? Are you nervous, or are you sick? Does this have a lot to do with you? Hands are cold. ”

Xuan Yuemeng sighed secretly, forced her composure, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm just afraid that there is such a good opportunity, our Great Qing Kingdom can't grasp it, it's rare that there is a foreign company willing to cooperate with the imperial court, and be willing to supervise foreign affairs!" This can not only make foreign enterprises profitable, but also do not need the imperial court to bear any risks, and can greatly improve the efficiency of work, why such a good thing, can't it be done? ”

Zeng Jize nodded, hugged Xuan Yuemeng and sat on his body, "Yes, this is the court of the Qing Dynasty, you have to be forced by people with guns to sit down and talk with foreigners, foreigners don't need guns to force, they think that we are **** Shangguo, everything is better than others, and they don't take foreigners in their eyes at all." Li Zhongtang was also in a hurry, he told me that he had already made more than ten recitals to state the matter to the Queen Mother in the past few days. ”

The day of the Franco-Prussian War celebration has finally arrived, and the venue of the celebration is held in the Attenborough Hotel, the best hotel in the British Concession. Timothy Lee was very opposed, thinking that it was too extravagant, Timothy Lee didn't understand what kind of celebration was being held, Germany won the war at home, what were they celebrating in China?

Xuan Yuemeng was not idle during this time, he couldn't wait for Li Hongzhang's news, and he still had to live his life, he found Xuan Ancheng, the tent room before Xuan Zonglu! He made a strong statement to Xuan Ancheng, saying that he had found a spy to investigate, and inquired about how much land and real estate Xuan Zonglu had, and showed the list to Xuan Ancheng, Xuan Ancheng naturally believed it, since the old man had nothing, and he didn't want to change the owner, so he followed Xuan Yuemeng to make a book, and after Xuan Zonglu knew about it, he naturally couldn't avoid being angry and half dead, but these real estate things, compared with Xuan Zonglu's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, would not make the old man angry directly.

Xuan Yuemeng asked Timothy Lee to go to the German minister Dudek and the American minister William, and talked about the Klinsmann foreign company buying a large piece of land in Tianjin, the Qing Dynasty in this era would definitely not sell the land to the foreign company, and being able to get such a large piece of land made the ministers of the two families even more convinced that the Klinsmann foreign company had super strength and strong connections! U.S. Minister Williams agreed to Klinsmann's request for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide agricultural technology to the farms run by Klinsmann, and German Minister Dudek also agreed to Klinsmann's request for the German Ministry of Industry to provide industrial technology for Klinsmann's industrial zone in China.

Xuan Yuemeng has long let people send these two heavy news to all the newspapers, Tianjin Concession, Shanghai Concession, and the business community of the Qing Dynasty basically know these two news, which is very good news, although this is not the news on the funds, but these two news show that Klinsmann is backed by the German government and the US government, and the major foreign banks dare not underestimate Klinsmann Bank! So much so that the celebration of the victory of the Franco-Prussian War held by Klinsmann was valued by all foreign companies except the French, and more than 1,000 people came from all over the Qing Dynasty and even large merchants from Germany and the United States!

Only then did Xuan Yuemeng know, Nima, in this era, there are already so many foreign companies in China? How much oil is this going to be taken from China every year?

Dazhi and a group of Xuan Yuemeng's house slaves stood at the door, Xuan Yuemeng's house slave team has now grown to more than 100 people, this is still the result of Xuan Yuemeng's careful selection, otherwise according to his temper, as many as he wants, these years, there are more beggars than anything else.

Of course, the current employees of Klinsmann & Co., not counting the hired workers, have reached more than 200, except for Xuan Yuemeng's house slaves, more than half of them are foreigners! They are all Timothy Lee in accordance with Xuan Yuemeng's requirements to reserve a variety of engineers, every month, this expense is very amazing, although the current Klinsmann foreign firm has not produced a little profit, in addition to buying a large piece of land, has not yet made a deal, but in the eyes of outsiders, the strength is exaggerated, the strength is exaggerated!

Xuan Yuemeng's external identity is Timothy Lee's translator and a minority shareholder of Klinsmann & Co., and is Timothy Lee's partner, he also stands at the door to greet guests, and keeps greeting with all kinds of people, foreign businessmen feel funny, many people have actually heard of Xuan Yuemeng such a prodigy, but when I really saw this Xuan Yuemeng who was less than a year old, small, and chubby, I still couldn't believe it.

Xuan Yuemeng is also an advertisement for Klinsmann & Co., after all, strange things are always easier for people to talk about, and when there are more people talking about it, there are more people talking about it, and it becomes an advertisement.

Hurd, the chief tax department of China, and McMarfu, the general manager of Xintaixing Foreign Bank, came, these two are heavyweight guests, although Xuan Yuemeng and Timothy Li don't like them, but they still have to be invited, they are also very face-saving, and they came.

However, they did not give Xuan Yuemeng's face, nor Timothy Lee's face, nor Klinsmann's face, but the face of the background of the US government and the German government behind Klinsmann's company! The farms and industrial areas that Xuan Yuemeng began to advertise had an effect.

Although these two things still have no shadow for the time being, they have attracted the attention of interest groups in China, after all, foreigners in this era come to China, are just saving the idea of making money, even if there is a small-scale investment business, the scale is also small and pitiful, are mainly processing and exporting, mainly to send China's silk tea to foreign countries to make money, and then the foreign industrial products, shipped to China to make money, no foreign company will move the idea of making a big industry in China.

In this way, Klinsmann's business measures can be more outstanding among foreign companies in other countries.

Xuan Yuemeng understands the truth of building momentum! Although he has done so much, what kind of effect can he achieve in the end, Xuan Yuemeng is not clear.

Hurd touched Xuan Yuemeng's head and smiled at Timothy Lee: "Mr. Timothy Lee, I didn't expect that your Klinsmann foreign business has only been so short for so long, and there are so many big moves, I heard that only a few months ago, you were still a poor person who couldn't even solve the problem of food and clothing?" Haven't you been a long-time church helper? ”

When Hurd spoke, there were many representatives of foreign companies who came from all over the world, and many people heard this, and they were very strange.

Except for Hurd and McMarfoy, who regarded Timothy Lee as a thorn in their side and as a business competitor, the others did not put so much effort into digging into the details of Timothy Lee.

Xuan Yuemeng was secretly shocked in her heart, Hurd and McMarfoy had checked Timothy Lee, and they must have checked themselves carefully! However, he was not very afraid, after all, only he and Timothy Lee knew about how many shares he owned in Klinsmann & Co., and even Williams, the American consulate where they were registered, did not know it, and they were not afraid of them checking it.

Timothy Lee listened to Hurd's exposure of his shortcomings in front of everyone, but he was able to deal with it, "Mr. Hurd, who hasn't gone down, besides, I am here to understand the national situation in China, otherwise, how dare I invest my worth of tens of millions of taels of Chinese official silver at one time?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng sweated profusely, didn't I find that this Timothy Li could blow so well before?

With Timothy Lee's voice, many beautiful foreign reporters, holding cameras, the most old-fashioned, flash-based fire-breathing cameras, snapped at Timothy Lee!

In fact, it's not that Timothy Lee suddenly became arrogant, in fact, Timothy Lee was very dissatisfied with Xuan Yuemeng's extravagant and wasteful behavior when the capital chain was about to break. I just blow it to the sky for you!

Tens of millions of taels of Chinese official silver?

Even McMarfoy was shocked, although he didn't know how much strength Timothy Lee had, but daring to build such a big project as a wharf, in McTMarfoy's opinion, 20 million taels of Chinese official silver was indispensable! On the contrary, McMarfoy believed Timothy Lee's blowing, especially that Timothy Lee could be so high-profile all of a sudden from poverty, which made McMarfoy believe that in fact, Timothy Lee was a super-rich man who was hidden deeply, and at the beginning it was to hide people's eyes and ears and low-key investigation of China's national and business conditions.

Hurd listened to Timothy Lee's words, his face was very ugly, he just deliberately sent someone to investigate Timothy Lee's information and said it loudly in front of everyone, just to make Timothy Lee look ugly, but he didn't expect to help the other party advertise again! Timothy Lee knew that Xuan Yuemeng helped Li Hongzhang negotiate with the French, and he always suspected that this Timothy Lee's sudden wealth was very likely to be related to this magical Chinese child, but Hurd would never have thought that Timothy Lee's rise was created by Xuan Yuemeng, as long as there were no crazy people, they would not have thought of this.

McMarfoy politely congratulated Timothy Lee and asked his entourage to send out the basket of flowers and go inside.

Xuan Yuemeng is very depressed that most of today's expenses must be borne by him independently, and foreigners have no habit of giving gifts! Not only do these people eat, but they also have to live with these people! What is this called?
