Chapter 810: What about rejecting friendship

A very quiet house, without much of the flamboyance and luxury. This is how Ibrahim feels about Chen Xie's trip in Shenyang, at least on the outside. This is probably the unique style of the nobles of the Ming Empire.

Ibrahim was sent here after getting off the train, and it was clear that he had successfully completed this mission, and the only worry was whether he would be able to go back smoothly. If you can bring back a secret envoy of the Ming Empire, it will be even more complete. However, it seems unrealistic now, the Ming Empire has no intention of having friendly relations with the Ottoman Empire, otherwise Ibrahim's trip to the Ming Dynasty would not have encountered so much trouble and humiliation.

It was an aggressive empire whose tentacles stretched out all over the world, and the sea sent their armies to the coastal ports of the distant Middle East and Europe, the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea, where they could be razed with artillery if they wished. The Ottoman Empire, which was also full of aggressiveness, Ibrahim as an envoy, and even what disaster a very aggressive empire would bring to another country. Destruction has never been much easier than construction.

"I heard you're from Istanbul? Or rather, Constantinople. Chen Xie was in the courtyard, under the shade of a tree, set up a coffee table and tea set, two rocking chairs, raised his hand and made a gesture of please, and then sat down first.

Ibrahim was surprised that this was not at all the way of contact between the two countries, like a stranger coming uninvited and not very popular with his host. This big man in front of him, if he walks on the street and stands in the crowd, it is difficult to see what is special about him. It's so ordinary, but it's terrifying.

To know. This is the most powerful person in the Ming Empire! The daily life of such a figure is so simple, and the rest of the country, how many officials follow his example? If you think about it, you will feel terrifying, as long as one of the ten officials is like this, this huge empire can release a desperate energy.

"Your Excellency the Duke of Xinghai of the Ming Empire. I have brought the friendship of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, are you not going to receive it? Or is your country not going to accept it? "If it was in the face of the following things, Ibrahim would never dare to do this, it is very simple, he has tried to speak like this before, but unfortunately he has been met with white eyes and disdain. The big man in front of him must have a mind like the sea, otherwise how could he lay down such a big sea frontier? This idea, to put it bluntly, is "Hades is so difficult to see little ghosts".

The interpreter standing next to Chen Xie wore a veil. It is impossible to convey in a whispered voice without any personal emotion. Everyone in this house knows that this is Chen Xie's favorite dancer. Chen Xie frowned, glanced at the other side with his eyelids, obviously showing disdain, and said lightly: "What if you don't accept it?" ”

Ibrahim's speechlessness, which had been pretending to be excited, now had the feeling of being punched in the nose head-on. Oh, yes. What if you don't accept it? This is said with such confidence that it is impossible to deal with it at all.

"So be it. Nothing to talk about. By the way, I must emphasize that in the Tang Dynasty, the iron cavalry of Chinese civilization was able to crush all those who dared to block, and now the Ming Dynasty prefers to use cannons to speak. "Say that. Chen Xie stood up, ignored the stunned Ibrahim with his hands behind his back, walked up the steps unhurriedly, and disappeared into the door.

Ibrahim, who was cold, knew that he had messed up, and his limbs were stiff and he couldn't take a step. If you wait, some heavily armed soldiers will come out from all around. It is not impossible to break his head with a musket and drag the body out to feed the dogs. After the brain was replenished, Ibrahim had no regret pills to take, and the only hope was the true God.

There is no doubt that Chen Xie's team has come to a very simple conclusion after repeated deductions. The Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire, the two largest empires today, are also very aggressive to the outside world, and it is definitely not over without playing dog brains between the two. As long as enough blood has been shed before one side bows its head, peace is a luxury, unless everyone has mushroom eggs and apple trees in their hands. Isn't the foundation of peace in modern society built on the ability to destroy the planet? Even so, in some small countries, the leaders jumped a little, didn't they all trample to death or be trampled on half of their bodies? (Referring to the XXX Spring, those who did not have a big hooligan behind them to help support the scene were all trampled to death.) Those who have the support of big hooligans are already half-paralyzed. ）

Chen Xie has a basic point of view in his heart, and after the deduction results strengthen this view, everything has become irreversible. From a certain point of view, the existence of the Ottoman Empire, which is bound to decline, is actually beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. The premise was that the Ottoman Empire accepted the goodwill and friendship bestowed by the "peace-loving" Ming Empire. For example, in some parts of Egypt and West Asia, it is very good to repay the friendship of the Ming Dynasty.

"We need a lot of steamships, and the Huating shipyard is still small now." Chen Xie walked around the study with his hands behind his back, and when Li Xiang, who was standing on the edge of the desk and quietly recording, glanced at him, Chen Xie continued: "How are the preparations for the stock trading of the securities company?" Although I don't really understand why Chen Xie's thinking is so jumpy? Li Xiang still replied very simply: "The report is on your desk, and the third copy is sandwiched with a red label." ”

Chen Xie walked over, picked it up and looked through it carefully, and after seeing the name of Huating Shipyard, he said with a smile on his face: "Chen Ping did a good job, but the referee and the athlete are one-in-one, and it is enough to do it once." You can take over the securities company. After saying this, Li Xiang's expression was obviously stiff, and when he met Chen Xie's gaze, he nodded stiffly.

Chen Xie still gave her a clear answer: "In fact, you can learn if you don't understand the rules of the game, and after you take over this part, you only need to supervise the implementation of the rules and find loopholes in the rules." Remember my words, since the rules are made, they must be enforced, otherwise even the rules I make myself are no different from footcloths. The point of this game is to keep improving the rules within the rules. ”

"I'm going to take over this piece, who will take over the office?" Li Xiang is very smart, and it is not difficult for her to find that every woman around Chen Xie will eventually take over a piece of work to do. This practice is considered deviant in Daming, and it has been criticized countless times, but this has not changed Chen Xie's approach. On the contrary, with the development of industrialization, more and more women are bravely standing up and joining the workplace.

"Let's talk about it, let's do it first." Chen Xie's attitude made Li Xiang a little confused. According to Chen Xie's consistent style, this kind of thing should not happen, can it be said that the future heir of the securities has not yet been determined? Thinking of this, Li Xiang's heart was not very comfortable. Chen Xie went on to say: "The essence of a securities company is a platform that makes a profit and survives by providing a fair trading environment and charging a certain fee. For this platform, the biggest reliance is not on someone Chen, but on the maximum fairness of the rules. As long as you can do that, businessmen in need of capital will join the platform. ”

Li Xiang's heart trembled, this stroke was really too big, far beyond her expectations. A stream of fragrant sweat burst out uncontrollably, and I felt a chill on my forehead and back of my back. "Master, the slave family resigns from the post of office director."

When Chen Xie frowned slightly, Li Xiang preemptively said: "It's not that I don't want to work part-time, but the slave family's monthly letter has not arrived overdue, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch it, and I will miss the master's major ......." Chen Xie raised his hand and said with a smile: "I know, the director candidate, I will finalize it as soon as possible." ”

Shanti didn't even mention her own recommendation, which is what a smart person should do. She knows enough things, since she wants to take over the securities company, why should she appear to be insatiable?

What Ibrahim feared did not happen, and he walked out of this seemingly ordinary and unusual compound safe and sound, and his legs were shaking so badly when he got into the car that he couldn't exert himself at all. Two maids came and helped him before he boarded the carriage. Look at the maids he carried, Ibrahim sighed faintly, the maids brought this time were all carefully selected, and I hoped that they would be given out as gifts to open the door of convenience. Now it seems that, although he took two maids with him everywhere he went, so far he had not had the opportunity to give either of them as gifts.

The carriage stopped in the forecourt of a three-story building, and the officer leading the way in front turned around and said, "Your Excellency can move around this city as you please, provided you can't leave our sight." If you want to leave, you can do so at any time, and we will arrange for a boat to be sent to Mumbai, and if you need more protection, you can hire a Ming armed merchant ship in Mumbai. Do it for yourself! ”

When he got out of the car, Abdullah, who had arrived first, stepped forward and said, "Master, is everything going well?" "In fact, just look at Ibrahim's face and you know that this trip has been hit even harder.

Back in his room, Ibrahim couldn't wait to tell the story of what had happened, hoping to get Abdullah's advice.

"Master, the grandfather Chen you went to see today said some very famous words, among which the two more representative sentences are: peace is fought; The axiom is within the range of the cannon. Abdullah groaned a little and then gave this answer.

Ibrahim was silent for a long time, his recovered body stood up tremblingly, walked to the window and leaned on the window, looked at the bustling city outside, and said without looking back: "The most urgent thing at the moment is to return to Istanbul as soon as possible." (To be continued......)
