Chapter 114: The Arrival of the Jewish Delegates
Thank you for the monthly pass to protect the grass, and weakly ask for a collection, red ticket, and monthly pass, thank you!!
While Chen Fu and the others were receiving the German representatives, the negotiations between various countries and China were also being continuously negotiated, and the two sides had already made preliminary determinations in many places, but there were still many ambiguities.
The Morgan and other consortiums in the United States have almost negotiated with Huaxia, Pan Asia Petroleum agreed with the Rockefeller family's opinion, and the two sides are ready to practice controlling most of the world's oil, and the Morgan consortium also has the right to enter the Huaxia steel industry, but they have paid a huge price.
With the help of the Rockefeller and Morgan consortiums, Huaxia will not worry about oil and steel, and solve the current situation of China's shortage of steel, and Huaxia will also rely on these two consortiums to develop oil and steel industries.
Qin Yu is very wary of American businessmen, in his previous life, he knew that the big conglomerates in the United States like to use the economy to control other people and even the country, so he is always worried that the economy of China will be manipulated by these big foreign conglomerates, so he has specially strengthened the support for the Chinese industry, and a large number of policies will be inclined to the domestic industry.
Before Qin Yu was sure enough, he didn't dare to lightly move Huaxia's currency reform, so many consortia were watching Huaxia's economy, even if he tied all countries to Huaxia's chariot, he couldn't stop these financial giants from chasing profits.
Just when Huaxia was nervously dealing with the representatives of various countries, a huge steamer was heading from San Francisco to Beijing, and a beautiful woman on the deck of the ship was looking at the sea breeze, with long golden hair dancing in the sea breeze, a willow waist in a tight grip, tight hips, slender legs, proud twin peaks, a cold face, and a pair of light blue eyes looking directly at the sea in front of her, this woman was not inferior to Erin.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties and dressed as a butler walked towards the woman with a glass of red wine in his hand.
"Miss Lilia, here comes your wine."
"Thanks, oh, by the way, how long do we have to get to Beijing, Huaxia?" Lilia asked, holding up the red wine with her white hand.
"At the current pace, we will arrive in Beijing in China in about two days, and I heard that Morgan and the Rockefeller family have already talked about it with Huaxia, I wonder if we can meet the emperor of Huaxia?"
"The emperor of China is a difficult person to deal with, he was able to build this huge empire and control several large companies such as Pan Asia Oil, whether it is political, military or economic.
The top students of the Berlin Military Academy in Germany and the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom are also a group of talents who have studied in various countries, and most of the senior talents in China are by his side, which is really a terrible figure.
Why haven't we Jews seen such a figure for thousands of years, otherwise we wouldn't have to wander around, alas......" Lilia shook her head and sighed as she looked quietly at the sea in front of her.
The butler didn't say anything but stood quietly beside Lilia, and he didn't know anything about Jews, because he wasn't a Jew, just an orphan who had been taken in by Lilia's grandfather.
Lilia was the illegitimate daughter of Jacob Schiff in his later years, but Jacob Schiff did not dislike her because of her illegitimate daughter, Lilia worked very hard from childhood to adulthood, and had excellent financial ability, and within a few years after graduation, she made a lot of money for Jacob Schiff's company, and her negotiation skills were excellent, and this time she was sent to negotiate with China on behalf of the Jews.
Jacob Schiff was the most important American Jewish leader of the "Schiff era" and was involved in almost every major Jewish issue in the world at that time, including the plight of Russian Jews under Tsar Nicholas II, anti-Semitism in the United States and internationally, the care of poor Jewish immigrants, and the rise of Zionism.
Jacob Schiff supported Japan during the Russo-Japanese War, lending heavily to Japan and, on behalf of the Jews, avenging the Tsarist regime for its anti-Semitic actions, especially the recent Kishinev massacre.
Now he thinks that the potential of China is very great, and he wants to seize the opportunity to use Huaxia to help them restore their country, and now the United States and European countries have no intention of helping them restore their country, but they are just constantly squeezing their interests, especially Tsarist Russia, so they set their sights on China.
Lilia is representing the Jews of the United States this time, and even representing the Jews to negotiate with Huaxia, what really makes it difficult for her is that there is also xenophobia in China, and if a large number of Jews pour into China, they will be ostracized by the Chinese people.
It was even more difficult to sell land to the Jews, because the population of China was so large that even the land of China itself was not enough to sell it to them, and the current emperor of China was an ambitious emperor, as can be seen from the strong occupation of Bengal.
Even if there is a place for them to train soldiers, they will not be able to train soldiers without the support of other powerful countries, and if they are known by Europe and the United States, they may be wary and interfere with them, so they want to let the Jews join the Chinese army as in Germany or let the Chinese secretly help them train the Jewish army, but I don't know if the emperor of China will agree.
Lilia kept thinking about the sea breeze, she thought she was good enough, but she didn't expect that the weak Huaxia would have a person who surpassed them of the same generation, which surprised her. Before she came, she had collected information about Qin Yu, and the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, and she had to admire those terrifying achievements.
The steamer was sailing rapidly, and a day later Lilia and the others arrived in the Bohai Sea, and they were surprised to see the merchant ships coming and going, because these ships were basically flying the flags of the Chinese Empire instead of the flags of Europe and the United States.
The closer she gets to Beijing, the more nervous she becomes, she always feels a little uncomfortable when she comes to Huaxia for the first time, and the information about Huaxia that she learned before is also from newspapers and other media, although she also knows that many of them are false, but she also sees the backwardness of Huaxia, if it weren't for the recent rise of Huaxia, she wouldn't pay too much attention to Huaxia.
Her Chinese is not very good, only the simplest greetings and other dialogues, fortunately she has a translator around her who specializes in translating Chinese, there are too few Westerners who learn Chinese in this era, and it is usually Chinese people who come to do the translation of foreigners in China.
Qin Yu didn't know that Lilia and the others were coming, and even the intelligence officers in Huaxia didn't know that the Jews would come to Huaxia. Qin Yu was busy arranging the next step at this time, he was preparing to plan to borrow from Britain, France, the United States and Germany to support the development of the First Five-Year Plan and the large-scale construction of China, but because some things were not arranged well and the Ministry of Economic Affairs did not count the funds needed, he was not in a hurry.
After most of the day, Lilia finally set foot on the land of China, Tianjin, which is still a relatively prosperous place in China, the streets are full of people, the street vendors are constantly shouting their things, and the people on the whole street are wearing single-color Tang costumes, which looks so monotonous.
Lilia didn't see the kind of insensitive Chinese people with pigtail braids that were published in the newspaper before, and the people she met along the way were so vibrant, maybe the rise of the Chinese emperor made the Chinese people also rejuvenated.
Instead of dilapidated houses and potholed roads, the roads are clearly refurbished, even the houses next to them.
Lilia got on the train from Tianjin to Beijing, and now the transportation in China is not developed, and horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws are still used, only a few rare cars are running, these cars are big businessmen in China or the Chinese government, and ordinary people still can't afford to use cars.
Lilia first has to meet with the Rockefeller and Morgan family, and then they will arrange a meeting between Lilia and the top officials of the Huaxia government, which will save a lot of trouble.
Minxiang in the eastern suburbs of Beijing has been reclaimed by Huaxia and is now the area of the embassies of various countries in China, where Lilia met with the American ambassador Methody and the two families.
"Hey, Lilia, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't think you would come to Huaxia, what are you doing here?" Wei Li asked, looking at Lilia in surprise.
"Hey, Uncle Wesley hasn't seen you for a long time, how are you doing here? This time, my father asked me to come over and discuss something with the Huaxia government, I wonder if you can introduce the high-level officials of the Huaxia government? ”
Wei Li shrugged his shoulders and said: "This is no problem, my uncle still knows a little bit of the high-level of the Huaxia government, is it a matter of the committee?" ”
Lilia didn't say anything and acquiesced, and Weslie knew what it was when he saw this, and he didn't dare to interfere too much with this, otherwise the president would kill him.
"Lilia, our affairs are almost done, just one contract is missing, let's accompany you to play in Beijing, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to go back, the scenery of China is still good, but it's a pity that I can't enter that palace to visit." A man in his thirties from the Morgan family said.
Lilia shook her head and said: "Now is not the time to play, when my affairs are done, I am playing Beijing City with the two brothers, Uncle Wesley will help me ask to meet the prime minister of the Huaxia government, in the name of the committee." ”
The people of the two families were also helpless when they heard this, Lilia was still a strong woman, and she would never do other unrelated things when she had a job, and they couldn't help it.
Wei Li nodded and said: "Lilia will go to rest first, the embassy is ready, it is estimated that it will take a while to meet the prime minister of Huaxia, now he is very busy, I will go and ask for it in person later." ”
Lilia thanked her and went to her room with her housekeeper with her luggage and the embassy maid, while Wei Li went back to her room to dress and prepare to meet the prime minister of Huaxia.
