Chapter 434: God Bears Witness
Kaisax couldn't judge Yang Hao's fierce reaction, because everything was different from what he had heard and expected.
The Chinese businessmen around, whether they were seeing Yang Hao for the first time or dealing with him many times, rarely saw his toughness in front of the public without saving face, and they couldn't help but feel very stunned for a while.
Since ancient times, China's big men have paid attention to their joy and anger, and they have blown up their lungs when they are angry, or they are extremely disgusted with someone in front of them, and they still have to maintain considerable restraint in their speech and actions, and they can't speak so bluntly and ugly.
But Yang Hao did so, and he said it confidently and loudly.
Suddenly, many people's first reaction was that this young man's ambition Mr. Yang Da was not deep enough, and he couldn't restrain himself when he was lightly stimulated by the British.
Strange thoughts and changing eyes have appeared on many people for a while. But those who stood in the front row clearly saw an undisguised exfiguration from Yang Hao's body. That means that every word he says comes from the bottom of his heart.
Caesar Ke was old and sophisticated, like a thousand-year-old turtle, and he had a face-to-face conversation with Yang Hao, and he was more directly aware of the feelings shown by this young man's red fruit than anyone else.
Yang Hao, from the bottom of his heart, looks down on the British, and even despises his style!
It's not pretending, it's not a bluff, it's a condescending that is not disguised at all, as if the British are rampant in the world, and when facing the natives who don't even have words, that kind of superiority is superior. Or maybe a genius with an explosive IQ is contemptuous of a brain-dead two-hundred-and-five, making him, the contemporary chairman of Jardine Matheson, feel uncomfortable.
A burst of light welled up in Caesar's head for no apparent reason. He had never been treated like this in his life. Especially since the other party is still a Chinese who has always been regarded as second-rate goods by him - if the two sides are reversed, it will seem normal.
But he stubbornly resisted the urge to explode, put away the arrogance on the surface, and looked at Yang Hao seriously again with a deep gaze. With his life's experience, judge the posture of this tall young leader. The expressions, the eyes, every detail, trying to figure out the ingredients of the performance.
It's a pity that he finally reluctantly found that Yang Hao didn't have the slightest disguise.
Kaisax didn't know. In the first decade of the 21st century, the British Empire was in decline and could not even afford to maintain a navy, and would only continue to make trouble in the affairs of the world, and was jokingly called "the-stirring stick of the European continent".
The world's largest power has quickly fallen into that ridiculous situation. Contemporary Britons can't imagine it in any way. And a hundred years later, the British also feel that this is a nightmare that they will never wake up.
With such a big contrast between the two planes of Britain, it is naturally impossible for future people with the advantage of foresight to have much awe for Britain in this era. Yang Hao felt even more heartfelt disgusted by the behavior of these barbaric thugs dressed in civilized clothes, pretending to be gentlemen.
So, Caesar saw it, and Sa Daoyi was also surprised to understand. The representatives of the Chinese businessmen in the front row were also aware of the kind of irony that overflowed with words. I couldn't help but feel a strange sense of pleasure, and secretly muttered in my heart: "British foreign devils, you also have today!" ”
Of course, there are many people who are accustomed to thinking. Yang Hao's approach is obviously not in line with his noble status. How can the new emperor's cunzài, who is almost like a new emperor, speak out in front of the public? It's completely possible to embarrass the other party with diplomatic rhetoric shrouded in clouds and mountains.
Yang Hao was calmer than ever, he knew every word he said very well, in the embarrassing silence of everyone, he looked around at everyone with dignified eyes, and said clearly: "Westerners believe that 'business is business'." In business. We Chinese attach more importance to the word integrity, whether it is me. It is also all the civil servants of China Merchants, and each one of them must be responsible for what he says. Since we have convened this investment conference. First of all, it is necessary to ensure the profit of investors. This is not a crowd gambling, we are helping everyone to revitalize their funds, drive the entire world economy, and benefit the public! I believe that all those who have read the books of Chinese sages can understand this truth, and I also hope that our friends in the West who believe in God will be able to seriously appreciate the ideas that your Lord has spread in His gospel. We can be fraternal and we can be of great benefit to all people in the world! ”
The loud words spread through the bright banquet hall, allowing everyone to hear them clearly. For a while, the Chinese businessmen were silent for a short time, and then applauded enthusiastically!
This is so special to give everyone a long face! Who doesn't study a businessman with a bit of a family background? Who doesn't know the saying of Yasheng "the benevolent love others"? In the old days, after they made a fortune, they had to build bridges, pave roads, and do good deeds for porridge relief, even if it was a show. In your bones, don't you all want to make yourself look noble and a little classy?
It's good now, it's obviously a big deal to carve up foreign interests, but when it comes to Yang Hao's mouth, it becomes a matter of following the teachings of the saints to benefit sentient beings. With Mr. Yang Da's endorsement, after spreading the word, who doesn't feel that they have a light on their face? Outsiders can't give a thumbs up and praise when they see it, benevolence and righteousness!
Life is nothing more than seeking fame and fortune. Yang Hao made everyone gain fame and fortune in one fell swoop, who doesn't know how to be suspicious anymore, then he really has to strangle to death to relieve hatred!
Rao is an old Caesar, and he is still stabbed by Yang Hao's iron weapon and the general word edge. People have even moved out of God, and they are still very clever in grasping the righteousness, how else can he phrase it? Avoid talking about getting to the bottom of things? It seems too ungentlemanly. And as a representative of the British, he must not discredit the empire in public.
At the critical moment, Sa Daoyi stood up and applauded softly: "To be able to hear the grand remarks of the respected Mr. Yang, I think not only me, but all the gentlemen here today will admire it from the bottom of their hearts." I believe that what you have expressed must be the true attitude of the Government you represent, and we are very happy to see a great organization with a strong sense of responsibility and an open mind towards other peoples. ”
He deliberately said these words in English, so that the foreign devils present could hear them clearly. But without a trace, Yang Hao and the Chinese government were praised.
Some Chinese young people who know foreign languages still feel that they have face at first, but they were immediately reminded by the elders around them: "The foreign devil is going to be killed, and the dog is not happy!" ”
Sure enough, Sa Daoyi followed up and said, "Then, please ask Mr. Yang." Why are you so harsh and ruthless to the Japanese government? We all know that the tragic war that is taking place has resulted in hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded and millions left homeless. The cause was nothing more than a radical and impulsive mob trying to assassinate Lord Li Hongzhang, for which the Japanese government has repeatedly apologized. Don't you think it's a bit unreasonable to start a war on this? ”
Directly embarrass to your face! Sa Daoyi unceremoniously returned Yang Hao's face-splitting blow just now!
The foreign devils heard it clearly, and they all stared at Yang Hao's face, secretly gloating in their hearts. I wish the two sides were tearing it up on the spot.
The Chinese businessmen held their breath and stared at Yang Hao's face cautiously with wide eyes, for fear that the young leader would not be able to control his temper and would have a seizure on the spot, which would be too embarrassing.
Unexpectedly. Yang Hao's face actually showed a meaningful smile, and in the eyes of the British, he clearly felt the irony that was not revealed - it must be right to be sarcastic!
Yang Hao didn't have to look at the expressions of other people at all, and said unusually calmly: "I believe that Mr. Minister must have read the Bible, right?" Can you tell me how many people Jehovah has killed in the Bible? ”
Sa Daoyi didn't know why, but he knew that there must be a trap in his words, so he refused to respond positively. With anger on his face, he shouted, "Mr. Yang, how can you openly make such blasphemous remarks in public?!" Even if you and your country don't believe in God, don't talk nonsense. That would not just be flouting the faith of the entire Western world, are you going to provoke a new jihad? ”
The rest of the Westerners also became angry. Their beliefs are untouchable bottom lines, no matter how trampled on and distorted themselves, but they are not allowed to raise any doubts in public. That's a terrible practice that will be rejected by the whole society as a whole!
Historically, there have been too many tragedies because of religious issues, and the blood shed is enough to stain the whole of Europe and even West Asia. Today. They still regard the vast eastern world as a religious desert, and they are often called "infidels" and "unbelievers".
Yang Hao's words. It undoubtedly touched their most sensitive nerves.
The Chinese people, who were more and more unable to understand Yang Hao's intentions, were soon popularized and explained by young people who knew foreign languages. Jehovah, the God in the minds of Westerners, is like Confucius, the most holy master of Dacheng in the minds of Chinese scholars, and there must be no taboo of blasphemy. Whoever dares to scold Saint Kong in front of them is more dangerous than directly insulting his ancestors!
Everyone looked at Yang Hao with fear, Sheng Xuanhuai and Yang Shiqi were even more anxious and sweating, for fear that he would continue to say something unreliable, which would completely intensify the contradiction and mess up the good atmosphere.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall was unprecedentedly solemn and oppressive, like a volcano before the eruption, and it was filled with a scorching heat.
But seeing Yang Hao smiled faintly, he said slowly: "As far as I know, just in the Bible, God directly killed 371186 people and ordered 1862265 people to be killed. If there are no numbers to check, it is impossible to count. I believe that all of you in the West must be acting in accordance with your doctrines and agree with the righteousness of Jehovah's actions in the Old Testament. So, do those who are killed or punished by him deserve it? ”
Three hundred and seventy thousand! One million eight hundred and sixty thousand!
As soon as the two numbers came out, everyone suddenly burst into an uproar! Especially the Chinese, they all know that Westerners believe in God and read the Bible, but they don't know that their supreme lord actually records that he has killed so many people!
Is this true, or is Yang Hao making it up? The likelihood of a fake is not high, as it can be easily debunked. But if it is true, then this one is the ...... that Westerners believe in.
Everyone can't describe it, because Confucius, the holy master of Dacheng, only killed one Shaozheng Mao, and it became a stain that could not be erased for a lifetime. The ancestral dragon Qin Shi Huang killed a total of 100 Confucian students, and was scolded for more than 2,000 years. He was even more regarded as a representative of a tyrant. But compared to the God of the Bible, what is their little killing?
At the same time, there are many people who have a sense of sudden realization. No wonder the foreign devils are so brutal, it turns out that they worship murderers in their bones! It seems that a reasonable explanation can be found in every qiē.
The Westerners present reacted in a different way entirely. They all grew up reading the Bible, and they all went to church to do penance. There is a 1 in 10,000 chance that you really feel guilty about the sins you have committed, and only God knows.
But none of them are there. He really read the Bible thoroughly and actually counted the number of killings in it. That kind of behavior is not only a bit blasphemous in the West, but at the same time, they all believe in their bones that what is recorded above must be righteous, and there is no need to think and debate at all!
However, from Yang Hao's mouth, I heard the number accurate to single digits. It still makes them feel very uncomfortable. No one wants to admit that their gods like to kill, and that's not good.
Sa Daoyi's eyes shrank suddenly, reacted as quickly as he could, and shouted, "Is Mr. Yang trying to compare himself with the supreme God?" God has the authority to judge the sins of mankind. You......! ”
Yang Hao didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and suddenly raised his hand to interrupt: "There are saints in the West in the West, and we also have our own saints in the East. Our Confucian sage instructed future generations to 'repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue'. The Japanese have been learning from China to steal the fruits of various civilizations for more than 1,000 years, but they have not shown the slightest gratitude, but have deliberately invaded China again and again. Such crimes, I think, are placed in both the East and the West. It is a punishment that must be severe! Out of morality and a generous mind to punish those who have gone before and to treat the sick and save the people, we have always kept the war in a narrow area where there are not many people. May I ask if such kindness should be blamed? I don't know who else in the world is more lenient than the Chinese! ”
The voice landed. The whole house burst into applause!
All Chinese look at foreigners with pleasure and provocation. That's so relieving, so right!
Just allow you foreigners to rob and kill everywhere under the banner of God, and still want us Chinese to take revenge openly and punish ungrateful villains? There is no such reason for this to say that the world is broken.
No matter how crooked we are, we are discussing the rights and wrongs of the saints, but the foreign devil tries to stand in a position overlooking everyone else, and this matter must not be done!
Caesar and Sa Daoyi were terrified. In the eyes they looked at Yang Hao, awe and jealousy appeared for the first time.
No matter how it was done. At least the words that came out of Yang Hao's mouth were aggressive. It's enough to completely wipe away the luck in their hearts. This time, no matter what the idea, it will be difficult for them to grab a position in the moral high ground. If he continues to entangle, God knows what more embarrassing information Yang Hao will come up with to slap his face!
Several people looked at each other and made a decisive decision.
A stiff smile appeared on the old Caesar's face, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, we believe in the sincerity of your country. Please understand the professional sensitivity of being a businessman, after all, this involves tens of millions of pounds of investment. Any risk could lead to the bankruptcy of many people, and we have to understand the situation in more detail. ”
The Chinese present also further realized how shameless the foreign devils would be. One by one, they secretly made up their minds to negotiate business with foreigners in the future, and they must first treat them as the most despicable fraudsters, which must be right.
The confrontation that almost went berserk came to an abrupt end, and most of the people who were thinking in mid-air suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and instead scrambled to try to say something to Yang Hao, striving to leave a good impression in the heart of the future bigwig.
Yang Hao put on a posture close to the people, walked through the entire restaurant with a smile, shook no less than a hundred hands in the middle, and returned the salute countless times, and the magnitude of the beckoning signal was estimated to set off a gust of wind ....... Anyway, what kind of private visit does the leader go to the countryside to pay a private visit, and what is his current state.
Finally, when he came to the middle of the hall, he stood still and looked around at the crowd and spoke loudly: "Please believe in the government, the purpose of common prosperity and common development that we have always adhered to will not change. The bright road of the future will definitely be wider and smoother! I hope that after you have made a fortune, you will not forget to pay taxes according to the regulations, everyone should have learned the power of the IRS, right? ”
The big guys laughed heartily, but none of them dared to take it as wind in their ears. Everyone knows that the National Taxation Bureau of the military government is the most vicious wolf dog in Yang Hao's hands, that is a thug who doesn't talk about it at all, once they are targeted, the family is the lightest.
It's chilling to think about, whose tax-collecting armament is actually better than the regular army?! It's a nightmare that can't be avoided from heaven and earth!
What was supposed to be a boring lunch, because Yang Hao's arrival turned into a collective carnival, some people were frightened, and most were rejoicing.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the investment conference that opened again was unprecedentedly intense, and every project that was shown was wildly sought after, and the final transaction figure doubled compared with the highest point expected! Yang Shiqi, who commanded the statistics on the spot, trembled in shock, and the cumulative numbers typed out on the abacus made him faint in front of his eyes!
After Yang Hao saw the report, he smiled refreshedly: "Now, the government officials don't have to worry about running out of money to do things." Even if we open another battlefield, we can still easily support it! (To be continued) R580
