vs 124 Who's in front of the stage and who's behind the scenes [Part II]
Qin Lang had a new idea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As he tried to persuade Yi Shui, Qin Lang was inspired by a remark he had made - "I would rather support others behind the scenes in that glorious and arduous game than sit in the position of a gamer myself" - and it was an interesting idea to prop up an agent in China.
If you think about it, propping up a Chinese president who represents his interests is like a U.S. consortium propping up a U.S. president who represents its own interests...... Qin Lang thought he could do this.
Compared with personally coming forward to save China, although it is destined to not get the title of a "great man", will not be respected or even worshipped, and will not be written into the history books, it is also not necessary to take responsibility for doing so; All liability will be acknowledged by the agent. As a god hidden behind the scenes, Qin Lang has only one thing to do: when the agent is no longer qualified or tries to get out of control, pick a new one.
And it is not difficult for him to choose a qualified surrogate. He knew history, and although that knowledge was not reliable in a new world, and many things would change, there were still some that would remain the same.
He can always be on the right side.
He can play the role of a god who will guide his constituents and lead China out of its current predicament.
At the same time, as a businessman, Qin Lang can also reap enough benefits. Like the presidents of the United States, the agent will have to pay more in compensation for the little bit of microwave, inconsequential price, or even just a little promise, he pays.
Qin Lang likes this. Sometimes, "patriotism", "serving the country", and "contributing to the country" can be perfectly combined with "getting rich rewards".
Now there was only one problem, and he needed to plan well enough to get it done. Considering the situation in the next few years, Qin Lang must remove some nasty obstacles for him before the agent who is not yet known is officially introduced: reformists, diehards, the Qing government, radicals, and the leaders of the old army.
Of course, he should have done it without leaving a trace, and that would have required a larger, more elaborate, and more complex plan than any of his previous plans.
Thankfully, he still has a few years to think about it, and to develop and revise every detail of the plan. So he can definitely get it done.
Qin Lang smiled happily and looked at all possible futures. "Everything will go as I planned."
……
"There's your letter, boss." The secretary put a letter in front of Qin Lang.
"Letter?" He was confused - very few people wrote to him. Generally speaking, if Morgan, Rockefeller, or other partners want to contact him, they will choose to send a telegram because it saves a lot of time. And apart from a few partners, he has no friends in the United States. So who wrote this letter?
Could it be Henry Ford? Apart from him, Qin Lang really couldn't think of anyone else who would write to him. He thought for a moment, then picked up the letter and glanced at it casually. "Not Ford." The postmark on the envelope stunned him for a moment—it indicated that the letter had been sent from San Francisco.
San francisco? He didn't have any acquaintances in that city, Rachel and Duncan did, and they had some unresolved problems in that city......
Wait a minute!
Rachel's trouble with Duncan? Qin Lang became alert. Although two years have passed and no reason has been found, the murder of James McBride and the manslaughter case committed by Duncan have not been tried, let alone closed. On the face of it, the San Francisco police have forgotten about the two killings.
Could it be that this is just a smoke deliberately released by the police so as not to confuse their suspects? And now, the police have some evidence, so ......
Wait.
If the police did have any evidence, they would have sent a few people to San Diego and asked Rachel and Duncan to return to San Francisco to assist in the investigation; They had no need or reason to write to him.
So the letter can only be written by someone else.
Who is this person? Qin Lang didn't want to speculate anymore, he opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and opened it, and directly set his eyes on the bottom payment. The next moment, a distorted, strange expression appeared on his face.
This is so surprising and ridiculous at the same time. Qin Lang never thought that the famous Doctor Sun would write a letter to him, he was ready, uh...... He skimmed the contents of the letter quickly. Of course, he should have thought of this, and Dr. Sun was going to visit him, hoping to get his permission.
It seems natural that this kind of thing will happen. As the richest and most powerful Chinese in the western region of the United States and even in the United States, he certainly aroused Dr. Sun's interest. After all, he was now very desperate for someone to fund him in the great cause of overthrowing the Qing government, and Qin Lang was the most suitable person.
So he didn't stay in Hong Kong to carry out his activities, as in the historical record, but went directly to the United States.
"I seem to have encountered something very interesting." Qin Lang felt very happy, he looked at the letter in his hand, smiled for a while, and then instructed the secretary who was still standing aside, "Miss Smith, please call Yi Shui to me." ”
"Okay, boss." The secretary left. After a few minutes, Yi Shui walked into the office. "Qin Lang, what are you looking for me?"
"You take a look at this first, Yi Shui." Qin Lang threw the things in his hand to him. Yi Shui pulled over a chair and sat down, looked down at the letter for a few minutes, and then raised his head in confusion. "Who is this Mr. Sun?"
"An idealist who intends to sit in the player's seat." After a pause, Qin Lang continued: "According to the information I have received, he and several other people have formed an organization called the Xingzhong Society, preparing to overthrow the Qing government. ”
"Really? So he and his friends are the ones you're going to support? Yi Shui wanted to know.
"I'm not sure about that yet." In fact, he had no intention of supporting the Xingzhong Society - and the future Alliance - at all. According to the known historical record, this group, which resembles a loosely structured guild party rather than a well-organized modern party, has had little success, and Dr. Sun himself was not a suitable candidate for support.
Qin Lang has another supporter, and he already has a plan.
However, in his whole plan, the Xingzhong Society is still an important part of it, so he does not plan to close the door to death. "I'm going to let you go to San Francisco to get in touch with Mr. Sun and see if he deserves our support."
"Me?" Yi Shui was slightly surprised, "Why did you let me go?" I don't know how to tell if a person deserves our support. ”
"It's not difficult, you just have to grasp two links." Qin Lang said, "First of all, make sure that you are not fooled by those beautiful but meaningless slogans - what politicians are best at is to confuse others with beautiful slogans and beautiful promises; Secondly, if he only knows how to shout slogans and make promises to others, and does not have a complete and operational plan, then he is not the object of our support. ”
Of course, he could swear that Dr. Sun would never come up with a complete and workable plan. Making a plan is not his specialty, and Dr. Sun is a pure idealist, which is why he has such a resounding and ridiculous nickname.
"Well, I'll head to San Francisco immediately." Yi Shui accepted the task. Meeting a patriot who is willing to stand up and fight to save China, regardless of the outcome, is exciting.
However, his expression made Qin Lang feel uneasy. "Be careful, easy water." "It's important," he warned, "and you should never let your feelings cloud your judgment." ”
"I know what to do, Qin Lang." Yi Shui replied, "What I have learned the most from you is to look at problems without any emotion. ”
"I don't know if you've learned."
"You'll know the results shortly." He stood up and walked outside, but when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "There is a question, why don't you go to San Francisco yourself?" ”
Because I wasn't going to meet with Dr. Sun—of course Qin Lang wouldn't really say that to Yi Shui. He shrugged. "You know, I'm very busy at work. There are so many things that I need to take care of every day......"
"That's right, you do have a lot to deal with." Rachel suddenly appears at the office door, but this time she doesn't forget to knock. "We have a couple of distinguished guests from Washington, D.C., Qin."
"A guest in Washington? Who? ”
"Four officers from the War Department, and two gentlemen from the Admiralty's shipbuilding division." Rachel replied.
Qin Lang blinked. War Department? Admiralty Shipbuilding Division? He was sure that the former must have something to do with the company's Predator rifles, and the latter ...... Could it be that his dreadnought idea has already been approved by the Admiralty? With the current state of the US Navy, how will this matter go so well?
It's unbelievable.
Qin Lang stood up. "Let's meet them now, Rachel."
"Who are you going to see first?" She asked, "Army officer or Navy officer?" ”
"Oh?" This is a question that needs to be seriously considered.
