Chapter 31 Woe may come to you

The waiter poured the three of them the color purple red Bordeaux red wine that had already woken up in the crystal clear goblet, and Wu Tiaoqing first picked up the wine glass and said softly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Brother Minghong, there are a lot of people here, and what my brother said is very important, so naturally we need to prevent the wall from having ears."

"You see if this is the case, the old brother is proficient in English and German, the elder brother is not talented, and he knows a little about this English, listen to the elder brother's account Mr. Zhou said, the elder brother lived in Germany when he was young, and is well versed in German, the three of us speak English, although the elder brother is familiar with German, but only listen to it and do not speak, or speak Chinese, English is translated into German by the scripture side, so that we are interspersed with three languages, don't say that people who understand one language don't know why, that is, people who can understand two languages, I'm afraid they will also be confused, At most, I know that there are very few words. ”

Qin Chuan didn't expect Wu Tiaoqing to be so careful, but think about it, when he first entered the mall, his hands and feet were all obtained from novels, film and television dramas in his previous life, in the final analysis, he was a chick in front of Wu Tiaoqing, and Wu Tiaoqing knew a lot about it, and it was always a big mistake to be careful.

Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Everything is arranged by Brother Wu. ”

Wu Tiaoqing saw that Qin Chuan did not object, and raised his glass and said: "Brother Minghong is young and promising, and he has a great future in the future. ”

After speaking, Wu Tiaoqing took the lead in taking a sip of red wine, and Qin Chuan and Li Jingfang also took a shallow sip and slowly tasted it in their mouths. The mellow and slightly astringent taste made Qin Chuan feel very comfortable.

Qin Chuan has a lot of alcohol, but he likes to drink beer the most, followed by white wine, and he is not interested in this red wine, mainly because of the era he traveled through, this red wine is very expensive. The knowledge about drinking red wine, and even his knowledge of Western food, was made up for when he was preparing to go to Germany to study.

Under Wu Tiaoqing's enthusiastic concession, Qin Chuan picked up the knife and fork and began to slowly cut a small piece of golden steak in front of him.

While the three of them were eating, they talked about Qin Chuan's life experience and the matter of the Aurora Dyeing Factory. It's just that the three of them are all in accordance with Wu Tiaoqing's arrangement, and the three languages of Chinese, English and German are staggered.

Wu Tiaoqing's English has a strong Shanghai flavor, it is soft to speak, Li Jingfang's English and German languages are fluent, and the translation is effortless, Qin Chuan does not need Li Jingfang to translate when he speaks Chinese, but after Wu Tiaoqing speaks English, Li Jingfang is translating to Qin Chuan in German, although the three of them use the three languages crosswise, it sounds very awkward, but it is not difficult to talk.

Wu Tiaoqing asked Qin Chuan's life experience very carefully, Qin Chuan didn't care about it at first, and slowly came back to his senses. Li Hongzhang knows that he has this Li Hongzhang's son Li Jingfang in front of him, Wu Tiaoqing himself and Li Hongzhang are good friends, and now that Wu Tiaoqing is asking so carefully, he really has to be a little more careful.

Qin Chuan simply went to Nanyang with his parents when he was still an infant, and then drifted to Germany, and when he was seven or eight years old, he went to Brazil with his parents, where he met a retired Prussian officer who was proficient in chemistry and a little misanthropic, and studied chemistry with him. After the tragic death of his parents, the retired Prussian officer also left Brazil, and he had to embark on a journey back to his hometown, which was a great struggle to return to the Qing Dynasty and so on.

Regarding his identity and resume, Qin Chuan has already thought carefully, at this time, there are no strict passport and visa rules in later generations, and no one will let you get any ID card to buy a ferry ticket, as long as you have money, sell your ticket, and you can get on the boat all the way unhindered. Therefore, everything he said is basically unverifiable.

After listening to Qin Chuan's narration, Wu Tiaoqing and Li Jingfang couldn't help but sigh for a while.

The three of them chatted while eating, and in the blink of an eye, two glasses of red wine were in their stomachs, Wu Tiaoqing was nothing, but Li Jingfang's face was already slightly red.

Wu Tiaoqing poured more than half a glass of red wine for the three of them, picked up a napkin and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, and looked at Qin Chuan softly and said.

"Brother Minghong, I heard Mr. Li talk about your salt factory, I really want to buy shares, but Mr. Li said that you only borrow money and don't want to share shares with others, I don't know why?"

As soon as Wu Tiaoqing said, Li Jingfang couldn't help but stop the knife and fork in his hand and looked at Qin Chuan waiting for his next step.

Qin Chuan said in his heart, it seems that this Wu Tiaoqing still wants to buy shares, and this is finally getting to the point.

Qin Chuan had already thought of refusal, and said with a long sigh.

"Brother Wu didn't know that when his father was in Nanyang and Germany, he co-operated a business with others several times, but each time he made his partner deceive so miserably that the family fell into the middle of the road and ended up depressed. Before his father died, he told his younger brother that he would do business in the future and no longer operate as a joint venture with others, and the younger brother was helpless, just remembering his father's last words. ”

Hearing Qin Chuan say this, Wu Tiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ling Zun's pain is really lamentable. It's just that if it's another business, the elder brother wants to open this salt factory, it will be extraordinary, if the elder brother still obeys his father's orders and insists on going his own way, I am afraid that disaster will not be far away. ”

Woe is not far off!

Qin Chuan snorted secretly in his heart, Lao Tzu wants to see why this disaster is not far away.

Seeing that Qin Chuan didn't make a sound, just fiddling with the goblet in his hand, Wu Tiaoqing was not annoyed, and smiled slightly.

"My brother is not involved in the world, and he doesn't know many things, so you listen to me and tell you in detail."

Qin Chuan said in his heart, this is tens of millions of taels of silver, to put it bluntly, I still want to share a piece of the soup in Lao Tzu's bowl, I am afraid that Lao Tzu is unwilling, and I brought this Li Hongzhang's son not to say, but also brought out Li Hongzhang first, nothing more than to let Lao Tzu bow his head and give in, I will see how you say it, is it possible that you can really say that Lao Tzu is dizzy, let Lao Tzu take out the silver in his pocket and give it to you?

Wu Tiaoqing leaned forward and lowered his voice.

"I heard Mr. Li roughly talk about your methods, my brother's ability to do business really impressed my brother, as soon as these means come out, those salt ambassadors, salt merchants, transporters, and shore merchants who have benefited from my brother will not be happy, and even Hu Liao, the envoy of Changlu Salt Transport, will also be happy. First, with the handwriting of the elder brother, the benefits of this salt transportation will not be missing; Second, because the elder brother had to pay taxes again when he purchased grain salt from the salt factory, the salt transportation caused the yamen to overcharge a part of the salt tax out of thin air, and it was naturally outstanding to hand it over to the household department. With these two items, the salt envoy will not embarrass you, brother. ”

Hearing Wu Tiaoqing's words, Qin Chuan raised his head and looked at Wu Tiaoqing again. Heart, isn't that enough? What other trouble will Lao Tzu cause?

Wu Tiaoqing shook his head as if he saw through Qin Chuan's heart: "Brother, just that, that's far from enough。。。。。。 ”
