Ask for collections, ask for recommendations

Sixiu Tang also has a base in Singapore, and after Luo Xiangju arrived there, she immediately sent someone to send a letter to Jishixing, saying that she would visit Jishixing the next morning, hoping to meet Jishixing's senior class.

The head of the Jishiban is Andrew. Jones was in Singapore, so Zhu Jishi readily agreed, and early the next morning, Miss Luo Si arrived in a sedan chair. Liu Peng, Han Si, Ren Yijiang, Huang Zhisheng and other four people greeted at the door, performed the Hongmen family ceremony, and then entered the living room together, before seeing the sofa, there were two twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young people, with straight figures, all wearing suits, snow-white collars, and shiny leather shoes, one of them was Zhu Jishi, and bowed to Luo Xiangju.

"Miss Luo Si, it's a pleasure to meet you." Then he pointed to Jones, "This is Andrew Brown. Jones - Andrew, this is the Miss Luo Xiangju Luo that I told you. ”

"Miss Luo, it's an honor to meet you." Andrew. Jones nodded with a smile and spoke in stiff Chinese—he had been in Nanyang for a while and could barely speak some Chinese.

Luo Xiangju looked at Zhu Jishi and Jones, but was slightly stunned, looking at this, Zhu Jishi and Jones seem to be on par with each other, could it be that Zhu Jishi is a foreign bank! At the moment, he smiled and arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Sixiutang Luo Xiangju, I have seen Mr. Jones and Mr. Zhu." ”

When they were both seated on the couch, Mrs. Duran came in through the door and personally brought a delicate tray of freshly brewed haode coffee.

"Miss Luo, please use it slowly." She speaks Chinese much better than Jones. Then he served coffee to Zhu Jishi, Jones, Liu Peng, and Han Si in turn, but Ren Yijiang and Huang Zhisheng did not attend today's meeting.

Seeing the order in which Mrs. Duran served coffee to everyone, Luo Xiangju was even more surprised, could it be that Zhu Jishi's status as a senior class was still above Mr. Jones? Thinking of this, a pair of big black eyes kept looking at Zhu Jishi.

This little girl really doesn't know how to write the word shame! Zhu Jishi thought to herself, she was quite affectionate when she first saw me, and now she is staring at me directly, is she fascinated by my charm?

But isn't it the Qing Dynasty right now? Shouldn't Chinese women not step out of the door and not go out of the second door? How can there be such an unrestrained girl? It seems that this ancient thing is really not quite the same as I originally imagined. How did he know that in the current era, those who don't go out of the door and don't step out of the second door are the eldest ladies of the scholarly family, not the female bosses who gallop the rivers and lakes. Luo Xiangju, a girl, in the words of later generations, is the core member of an organized crime gang, a bewitching woman in the underworld - a similar woman, who left her name in the history of the Qing Dynasty include Wang Cong'er, Su Sanniang, Hong Xuanjiao, Zhou Xiuying, Liao Guanyin, and of course, the later Jianhu heroine Qiu Jin, all of whom are heroines among women who do not let their eyebrows be saved!

"Sister Ju!" Liu Peng bowed his hand respectfully to the female boss Luo Xiangju - when it comes to the status of the rivers and lakes, he is far inferior to Luo Xiangju, so he should be called "Sister Ju", and if he sees Luo Xiangmei, he should be called "Aunt Mei". Liu Peng pointed at Zhu Jishi again and said, "Mr. Zhu is the boss of Jishixing......

"He's the boss! A Chinese! Luo Xiangju's eyes widened, staring at Zhu Jishi tightly.

Liu Peng nodded, and continued: "Mr. Zhu is not only the boss of the World Bank, but also a member of the Royal Society of England, an academician of the French Academy of Sciences, a viscount of the English Kingdom, and an English nobleman!" ”

Viscount of England...... Aristocrat! Luo Xiangju was speechless for a while, looked at Zhu Jishi in surprise, and came over for a while before muttering, "I, I...... I'm not dreaming, am I? How can a Chinese become an English nobleman?! ”

In the eyes of people in Britain, this matter is nothing, Zhu Jishi's scientific achievements are there, and he can win glory for the British Empire by making him a British viscount! But in Nanyang, it is really unbelievable, because the status of the Chinese in Nanyang is low, even the highest-ranking Liu Qiansheng of the Lanfang Company has to keep his voice down in the face of ordinary Dutch soldiers. Therefore, Major Anderson can look down on Miss Luo Si, a bewitched girl, is really a good thing that the old Luo family's grave is smoking!

"Miss Xiangju," Zhu Jishi frowned slightly as he looked at this somewhat startled 19th-century bewitched girl, it seemed that the affairs of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang could not be revealed to this immature little girl. "The head of Sixiutang is your sister?"

"Ah, yes, it's my eldest sister." Luo Xiangju muttered. Zhu ...... Sir Zhu, do you want to see her? ”

Zhu Jishi smiled and said, "I have a deal I want to do with Sixiutang, so I want to ask Miss Luo to talk...... Oh, she's still Miss Luo, right? ”

"Yes, my eldest sister is looking for a son-in-law, but there is no suitable candidate yet." The little girl looked at Zhu Jishi, and said in her heart: "He looks good, and he is rich, but his status is too high, my sister is okay to follow him as a little one, when Mrs. is already Gao Pan, if you want to deal with the Luo family, it will be rude, but fortunately, the other show among the four shows of the Luo family is still Yunying's body to be married......

Zhu Jishi nodded, he knew that the rules of the son-in-law were still practiced in the countryside near his hometown in his later life, and if there was no son in the family, the eldest daughter would recruit a son-in-law, no bride price, no need to buy a house, of course, if a child was born, he had to have the other party's surname, although it was affordable but had no status. It is estimated that the children of the Lanfang clan are unwilling, and the small family is small, and Miss Luo looks down on it.

"Miss Xiangju, can you invite Miss Luo to Singapore?" Zhu Jishi looked at Miss Luo Si, who was blushing and had a shy expression, and smiled.

"I'm afraid my sister won't be able to leave for a while." Miss Luo Si said coquettishly, "Mr. Zhu, if you have anything to say to me, it's the same." ”

"This ......" Zhu Jishi was silent for a moment, "Miss Xiangju, is Miss Luo stumped by something?" What I want to talk to her about is very important, and it is related to Lan Fang's future. ”

Lanfang's future? Anything else? Luo Xiangju frowned, sighed and said, "My eldest sister is entangled in military affairs, so she can't leave." ”

"Military affairs?" Zhu Jishi was stunned for a moment.

Luo Xiangju smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhu doesn't know, now Lanfang is already under enemy on all sides, the Dutch, the Sultan of Wanna, the Dagang Company, and the Kingdom of Sarawak are all eyeing each other, and our Luo family's territory Xindang is close to the territory of the Sultan of Wanna, so the eldest sister can only defend herself." ”

"I see." Zhu Jishixin said that this Luo Xiangmei is still a female general, so she should make friends.

"Miss Xiangju, we are also in the arms business, and now there are several ships of arms in Singapore, do you need some for Sixiutang?" He asked Luo Xiangju with a smile.

"Got arms? Are you sure? Is it in stock? How many? Luo Xiangju stood up suddenly, she came to Singapore this time to sell spices and rice, but in fact she wanted to secretly purchase a batch of muskets, but unfortunately she ran a few foreign companies and did not have stock, if you want to buy, you must pay a deposit in advance, and you can pick up the goods after a few months - the merchant ships of these foreign companies have fixed routes, and it is impossible to put a ship to run to Kolkata for the purchase and sale of tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Of course it's in stock, five ships of brown bass smoothbore guns and lead bullet gunpowder." Zhu Jishi said to Luo Xiangju with a smile.

These five ships of arms were all purchased from the Calcutta Arsenal in the name of the South China Sea Trading Company - of course, such a large arms trade requires the approval of the Indian Viceroyalty, and without the presence of Qiu Fatzi, the young master of the Churchill family and the representative of the colony undersecretary, how can the Indian Governor's Office not be allowed to do so? Not to mention that Prince Albert himself is a shareholder of the South Sea Trading Company!

"Great! Now there is a new salvation! Luo Xiangju screamed in surprise, before she could say the following words, a shouting voice suddenly came from downstairs.

"Get out of the way, let me go up, I want to see Zhu, see Zhu Jishi!" The voice spoke in English, and sounded like Andersen, the Dutchman he had met with Zhu Jishi at the docks yesterday.
