"Last time I heard from Monsieur Bourblon's letter, that the French stock market was very busy, I wondered a little, what is the deal with this stock?"
"Stocks?" Ali Guo, who had almost entered the brain teaser examination room, looked at Lin Haifeng's eyes that blinked vigorously for a while, forced his mind to keep up with the madman's footsteps again, and then briefly introduced the other party to the way to play the stock market and make money.
"So it's that simple," Lin Haifeng smiled after listening to Ali Guo's introduction.
Simple? Hehe, there is no inside information, there is no means of fraud, and when you go in and compensate his mother for bankruptcy, you won't say it's simple. "Hey......" Ali Guo had just thought of this, and suddenly a nerve in his head suddenly moved.
"Then tell me, if someone knows in advance the inside story of the series of business contracts I am going to sign in France, and hula buys a room full of stocks, haha, then it is not crazy to make money. Alas...... It's a pity, it's a pity, if only I had a million in my hand......"
After listening to Lin Haifeng's words again, Ali Guo finally knew why the nerves in his brain were beating just now. Yes, didn't he just ask for a million, a million taels of silver is only 300,000 pounds, if he can explain that the cabinet has laid out in advance and took out 300,000 pounds to secretly buy a few stocks, he won't be back in a few days? This is the wool out of the sheep, the government is embarrassed, you foreign banks, factories and bankers can no longer pay for it? Thinking of this, Ali Guo was truly relieved, he had even made up his mind in his heart, and today he would try his best to inform his family in London as soon as possible, and bet all his property on the shares of the Colese Iron and Steel Company, if the cabinet did not approve his plan, he would rather "pay for it" himself for the prosperity of the British Empire to satisfy the greed of the director Lin in front of him.
"Your Excellency, money is not an issue, and for our partners, our British government has never been stingy with money," Ali Guo said cautiously, looking at Lin Haifeng, "but ...... It's just a matter of the boat......"
Listening to the first half of Ali Guo's words, Lin Haifeng's face showed a lot of relief, but when Ali Guo started to ramble again on the issue of the ship, he looked a little annoyed, "I said, it's so awkward to do something with you British, wrong is wrong, not to mention that you still ask for Tianjing, what's wrong with pretending to be a grandson?" Besides, France, the United States, the Netherlands, etc., which one didn't first admit their mistakes to us before they had a later friendship? You should really learn from the Dutch. We never mentioned compensation for the unpleasantness they had brought us, but they not only came to confess their guilt in person, but then sent more than 20 warships to talk about their guilt. And what about you? Is it true that a worthless face is more important than anything else? ”
As he spoke, Lin Haifeng actually stood up angrily and waved his hand at Ali Guo, "I originally thought that I could bring our two countries with the deepest hatred together, and it could be regarded as my benefit to the people of the two countries." and, in order to maintain this rare friendship forever and ever, and because of the great prestige of the universities you own, Oxford and Cambridge, I am ready to ask you to assist us in establishing a superior university here after the two countries have been reconciled. Now it seems that I was a little wishful thinking. Sue you, if you want to make money, I have a lot of ways, whoever I open my mouth with has to buy my face, I just didn't have the leisure to do this before, and then I'm a little embarrassed, which will make that guy Bourblon take advantage of me. Forget it, since that's the case, if we have a word, it's long, and if we don't have a word, I haven't said anything before, to be honest, if you continue to deal with you like this, I'm really afraid that sooner or later you will have to betray me. ”
"Your Excellency......" Ali Guo was really cleaned up by Lin Haifeng for a while in ice and fire for a while. Just when he really couldn't come up with a better way to temporarily extinguish Director Lin's burning anger, with a "report" sounding outside the door, it temporarily freed him from the cold sea of bitterness, but at the same time ruthlessly sent him into the oil pot. Because there is that Yankee Kim Nenghyung outside waiting to be seen.
Lin Haifeng looked at Han Muyue, who was at the door, as long as he nodded, he was about to hurry to invite Jin Nengheng in, and then turned his head and glanced at Ah Liguo, who seemed to have just been fished out of the river, and smiled proudly, "What's the matter, I don't need to look for it, the person who sent the money will automatically come to the door." ”
This Lin Haifeng really won't stop if he doesn't kill people.
"Honorable ...... Your Excellency, please don't hesitate to be angry...... Thousands of angers, the contemptible people will do their best to report to our government, and do their best to meet the demands of the Tianjing......" Ali Guo, who was close to collapse, gritted his teeth and staggered to his feet at this last critical moment.
Lin Haifeng looked at Ali Guo in disbelief for a while, and then slowly instructed, "I have always liked a gentleman's words, a quick horse, don't delay my good deeds?" ”
"No...... Your Excellency is assured that you will never ...... Definitely not ......" After Ah Liguo stabilized his mind, he looked at Lin Haifeng with a longing gaze, "Your Excellency, if possible, I would like to ...... I would like to take your boat to ...... together when you are in France."
In order to be afraid that Lin Haifeng would have other ideas, Ali Guo immediately explained, "I haven't been back to the UK for many years, so I took this opportunity to go back and ask for instructions and persuade the government in person, and by the way, I also saw my family." Secondly...... You can also take advantage of this long travel opportunity to ask your Excellency a few more things. Plus, it's a little bit of a benefit for your safety. ”
"That's a good idea," Lin Haifeng nodded with a satisfied smile, "Since we are all friends, it should be like this, everything must be considered more for each other, so as to enhance the friendship between each other, right?" ”
Of course, Ali Guo had to say that he was right, and he had to nod his head again and again, but in his heart he was miserable, and he inevitably let out a few more lamentations such as "God, when did your old man ever think about me?"
At this point, even if there is a result, Ali Guo knows that he has to leave, and he knows very well in his heart that this Director Lin will not talk about serious things with the Americans in front of him. But when he bowed down, just made a gesture of farewell, and before he could say anything, Lin Haifeng stopped him with a big grin.
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, Boss Jin is also an old friend we are all familiar with, so it's okay to talk together. Besides, it looks like it's about to be lunchtime, so it's obvious that I'm a little too unkind to let you go at this time, stay, I'll treat you at noon, and we will sit down together again to talk about friendship. ”
It's really money that can be channeled! Ali Guo, who stayed behind, sighed secretly, once upon a time, in the eyes of this Director Lin, it was as if he had thrown his child into the well, it was so hateful. Now, for the sake of money, he actually regards himself as an "old friend for many years". He felt that he couldn't accept it, this land was amazing.
Jin Nenghyung, who came in, smiled in his heart as soon as he saw that there was a Ah Li Guo in the house, and he was not surprised to see this Ah Li Guo here. To his surprise, not only did Ali Guo hurry out without interest after he sat down, but Director Lin, who had always seemed to be at odds with the British, actually talked to him straight to the point about business that should not have been talked about at this time in front of Ali Guo.
During the conversation, Lin Haifeng expressed satisfaction with the pleasant cooperation between Ma Shali, represented by Kim Neng-hyung, and the Tianlong Group, to which he belongs, and the Celestial Government in the past two years, and in particular, he gave great praise to the US Government for upgrading the US Commercial Agency in the Celestial Empire to a legation not long ago. He believes that the US Government's final choice to make such a rational decision will play an important role in promoting friendly and commercial exchanges between China and the United States. When it came to specific issues, Lin Haifeng asked Jin Nengheng to bring a message to His Excellency Minister Mashali, saying that the Celestial Empire is a big country, and the government of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom is currently in the process of transitioning from a war mechanism to peaceful construction, and on this major issue related to economic development, if there is no scientific and complete plan, it will definitely not work, and if we engage in construction with a hot head, it will only bring disaster to the Celestial Empire. Therefore, everyone should not be in a hurry, the pace of construction in front of us has slowed down slightly, precisely for the sake of tomorrow's steps to be bigger, and so on.
However, Lin Haifeng in the conversation did not blame Jin Nengheng at all. He ridiculed the Tianlong Group for doing business a little dizzy, as the trade volume became larger and larger, many of the goods that came to the Celestial Empire through their Tianlong Group were too lazy to finally forget the origin of the goods to the point of alteration, and there were still British-made signs on them, which not only hurt the face of the Celestial Empire's military and civilians, but also obviously gave him Lin Haifeng eye medicine. He even threatened that if it weren't for the good friendship in the past, according to his temper, he would have "pinched" the trade channel between Tianlong and other such nonsense American comptoirants. He also used the French as an analogy, saying that a certain French trading house had also tried to deceive the Celestial Empire in this way, but the fraud was not done well, and after it was discovered, the Celestial Empire strictly ordered them that the whole shipload of goods would either be pulled from where and then trumpeted back there, or they would have to be dealt with at a reduced price on the spot, and as a result, the losses of the French merchants were huge. For this matter, Bourblon also wrote to him personally, begging him to intercede. For the sake of his friends, mediation naturally has to be adjusted, but it is definitely not possible to punish him, and in the end, it took a lot of effort to persuade the Celestial Empire government to reduce the fine by half. Therefore, after making a threat, he solemnly taught Kim Nengheng that even if he faked, he had to do it as if it was real, and he couldn't give someone a handle, otherwise he would be very embarrassed.
In the end, he told Kim Neng-hyung that in fact, Vice Chairman Zheng Nan of Tianjing was organizing relevant personnel to step up the formulation of the first five-year plan for the construction period of the Celestial Empire, and a large number of projects were being carefully investigated and prepared. This is the main purpose of his visits to France, the Netherlands and other countries. Although he didn't go into details, whether it was Jin Nengheng or Ah Liguo, who had been sitting there with his ears pricked up and not daring to miss a word, they all knew in their hearts that the Celestial Empire now had many friends, and the Celestial Empire was looking for a more reliable partner in it.
During lunch, perhaps overjoyed, or perhaps related to the fact that he had drunk some wine, Ali Guo personally heard that Lin Haifeng had entrusted Jin Nengheng to go back on his behalf to thank Minister Marshali and Mr. Fang Jingbo, the president of Tianlong Group in the United States, for the precious gifts they had sent many times. However, Lin Haifeng naturally did not forget to remind Jin Nengheng that he must not treat other officials at all levels of the Celestial Empire with such an attitude towards him. Lin Haifeng even made the meaning very clear, now that he has just entered the peaceful period, those soldiers who have been on the battlefield for several years have begun to plan how to build their own comfort nest, in this situation, they are easy to see the eyes of wealth. Therefore, the government of the Celestial Empire has repeatedly stressed that in peacetime, it is even more necessary to pay close attention to the ideological construction of officials, otherwise it will be a terrible thing once these people are all rotten......
When Ali Guo heard this, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and immediately remembered the famous saying that circulated here, "Only the governor is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps". Up and down, as long as you Lin Haifeng dare to stretch out your hand, those officials under your command will stretch their hands longer than you. Therefore, he didn't even bother to listen to what Lin Haifeng said later, such as "bribery and bribery are the same crime".
