"How does it feel to come back from the Dutch?" Garin said jokingly.

"Good. I got the money I desperately needed, the Chinese had security guarantees and more rights, and the British government took the opportunity to knock the Dutch a slap. Xu Jie smiled weirdly.

"I would say that success and failure are the fine line." Garin pouted.

"I am very grateful for your help to my Beiyang, if it were not for the exchange of views between your family and Mr. William Gladstone, I don't think the attitude of the British Far East Fleet would be so clear." Speaking of this, Xu Jie bowed and saluted.

"And how do you thank me and my family?" Garin asked with interest.

"In return, you and your family can take a stake in the newly established bank in Beiyang, and you can be entrusted with being the manager of the first bank in the Qing Dynasty." Xu Jie continued.

"What else?" Gaylin wasn't satisfied.

"The bonds issued by Beiyang in the future will be issued by the bank or other financial institutions under your name." Xu Jie said.

"Not bad, it's a fair deal." Garin nodded with satisfaction. "However, I am only now discovering a very important problem."

"Tell me about it." Xu Jie took a sip of coffee and said.

"You are not just laying out in Italy, you are playing a big game of chess, even including the whole of Europe, the Italians Beiyang provide naval ships and light weapons and equipment, my family and I provide you with funds and financial services, and now you have to use German artillery and instructors to improve the old Beiyang army." Gai Lin glanced at Xu Jie and continued: "I still think that you are too simple, the governors of the Qing Dynasty, as well as the overseas Chinese, have gradually agreed with your point of view, and gathered around the goal of defeating Japan, how did you do it?" ”

"As for the first question you mentioned, it's actually very simple, Italy can't provide the Qing Dynasty with what it needs, and the deficiencies naturally need other countries. And the countries that could provide the required qiē wavered between the Qing and the Japanese. So that's all I can do. Xu Jie smiled bitterly.

"You mean Britain is swinging between the Qing and the Japanese? That's true. Prime Minister Salisbury is more inclined to groom Japan to curb Russia's global expansion. The Japanese, on the other hand, embraced the British economic system, and most of the national debt was also purchased by the British government. In terms of naval military procurement, since the Sanjing ship, it has been ordered from the United Kingdom. Garin nodded.

"So, this pro-Japanese Salisbury Prime Minister must step down. And we need to raise Mr. William Gladstone into a pro-Qing faction. Xu Jie smiled weirdly.

"Are you kidding? The stakes are too big. And are you sure that Mr. William Gladstone will be able to change the opinion of British politics about the Qing Kingdom? Garin said in shock.

"Don't worry, Mr. William Gladstone definitely has this strength, he will be the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom!" Xu Jie said calmly.

"Why?" Garin said excitedly.

"Feeling." Xu Jie replied more simply, after all, he couldn't say that he had crossed over, right?

"Ridiculous." Garin's face was filled with disdain.

This was the only way, and if Britain supported Japan in the event of a war between the Qing and Japan, even if the Qing won a military victory, Japan would still make a comeback with the support of the British. So we had to get Britain to support the Qing Dynasty and not Japan. Xu Jie knew very well that it was precisely because of British industry and capital that Japan was perfected, not only winning the Beiyang, but also Russia, and finally sitting on the throne of the first navy in the Far East. Although it is now impossible for Britain to completely abandon cooperation with Japan, it is necessary to create some obstacles.

"I'll go back and try, but I can't guarantee success." Garin took a few deep breaths and calmed down. …,

"There's another thing you and your family need to do. And I promise a high yield. Xu Jie said.

"Tell me about it." Garin was always interested in things that made money.

"Buying cotton and grain from Japan. At the same time, India's cotton exports to Japan were controlled. Xu Jie said. Japan's textile industry is its pillar industry, and food is the foundation of a country. ”

"You're really insidious, to paraphrase your Chinese words, it's a draw from the bottom of the kettle. But I'm afraid that the raw materials are not enough, and Japan can import them from China, even if Beiyang is called the first feudal town of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be able to control the whole country, right? Galan suddenly realized.

"Naturally, I can't manage it, but if the cotton merchant has a better home, it will naturally not go to export. Plus some official "kind reminders". Enough to cut off Japan's access to cotton imports from China. Xu Jie smiled coldly.

"What do you mean?" Gaylin asked.

"The Chinese businessmen in Nanyang have agreed to open textile factories in Beiyang and Huai. The cotton of the Qing Dynasty is not worried. Xu Jie smiled.

"The raw materials are broken, and then there is a competitor in the market. Very good way. Garin smiled.

"At the same time, I would like to borrow your family's information dissemination channels. One is safer, and the other is very fast. Xu Jie continued.

"Then it's up to you to make a good price." Garin said with a defiant smile.

"In Europe, the Jewish consortium is the most powerful financial institution, while in East Asia, Chinese businessmen are the most powerful economic organization. Don't you want to cooperate? If you can form an alliance with the Chinese merchants in Southeast Asia, it will be of great help to your future revenge plans and your position in the family. Xu Jie asked.

"Chinese businessmen are not short of money, and they don't have a lot of business in Europe, so it's hard to find an entry point." Garin said helplessly.

"But Chinese businessmen lack the modern financial management and technology of Europe. There is also a lack of access to high-end financial markets. That's where your strength lies. And all you have is knowledge and wisdom that you have surfaced, without having to invest money directly. Xu Jie said.

"Plus, in return for you, I can give you a chance to make money." Xu Jie pretended to be stern and said.

"Tell me about it." Garin couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Xu Jie's serious face.

"Develop restaurant chains and introduce the concept of fast food. Sell Chinese food in the West and Western food in the East. Speaking of which, Xu Jie couldn't help but think of the popularity of KFC and McDonald's in his plane.

"It's an interesting idea, and I think your fast food concept will be welcomed by the factory owners, because they can justifiably compress the lunch time of the workers." Galine scoffed at Xu Jie's advice.

"You can try it, this new chain of fast food restaurants will give birth to a new business model." Xu Jie said, handing over a copy of the information he had written to Gai Lin.

"Are you really going to invest in this? Where are the profit points? Gaylin asked.

"Large-scale operation, diverse diet, fast, convenient, and affordable." To be honest, Xu Jie basically didn't understand this aspect, but he just felt that his plane chain of fast food restaurants could be popular, so there should be no problem in Europe and China in 1890, right?

"I can try, your model is very distinctive, just like the assembly line you proposed in industry, but it is not easy to implement." Gai Lin put away Xu Jie's plan and reluctantly agreed.
