Chapter 211: Win-Win Situation?
"Please forgive my suspicions, in fact, I suspect that this condition you mentioned has another purpose, Mr. Li, perhaps you have met our requirements on the surface, but there are many traps in private."
The British consul was very cautious, after all, he represented the interests of a country, and Li Qingzhu had a criminal record and had to be treated carefully.
Li Qingzhu lowered his head slightly, almost imperceptibly chuckled, then looked up at the British consul and said: "Mr. Consul, there is really no need to worry about this kind of thing, as long as your country gets the right to garrison troops, it will be a matter of time before the place is shili, I think, people who play politics will not understand the truth of boiling frogs in warm water." ”
"But I want to believe you, please forgive me for being so direct, as far as I know, the relationship between Mr. and Zhang Zuolin is very good, and even accepted Zhang Zuolin's two daughters as students, and now Mr. Weishenme is going to dig Zhang Zuolin's corner again? If the gentleman doesn't explain this clearly, I'm afraid we won't even need to continue talking. ”
The aggressive attitude of the British consul made Li Qingzhu not panic, but made him particularly calm, because the more anxious the British consul was, the more concerned he was about this matter, and the higher the possibility of Li Qingzhu's plan being realized.
"Dashuai is actually a very good person, of course, he is even better for me, but compared with my other friend, what he can give me is very limited, and the value is lower, I think I am smart and know how to choose."
"What's more, once my friend's jihua is realized, as the commander of the Northeast warlord, he will be very obstructed, and he will think about how to fight against the commander at that time. It is better to cooperate with your country now to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle. ”
"At least I don't want to see the handsome zuihou and us meet each other, relatively speaking, such an ending. I'll be gentler with him. ”
"And in order to report the kindness of the handsome, I will take care of his two daughters more attentively."
Li Qingzhu leaned back on the chair leisurely and said his thoughts very comfortably.
Zhang Zuolin's military power does not seem to have any impact on Li Qingzhu, and Zhang Zuolin's personal gains and losses seem to have nothing to do with Li Qingzhu.
The British consul looked at Li Qingzhu seriously, trying to see from his face whether what he expressed had a certain degree of reliability.
Li Qingzhu had an indifferent attitude from beginning to end, and did not take Zhang Zuolin's life and death honor and disgrace to heart at all.
said that such a wolf-hearted betrayal of a friend is so indifferent, Li Qingzhu is indeed impressive enough.
"I really feel sorry for Zhang Zuolin now. I made such a friend of yours. ”
The British consul believed it, in fact, he did not believe Li Qingzhu's words, but the bait that Li Qingzhu threw at him was too big. Let him convince himself to believe it.
Li Qingzhu shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: "People live on this shijie, they must always know what is the best choice for themselves, there is an ancient Chinese saying, called 'good birds choose trees and perch'." That's what it means. ”
"I wonder if Mr. Consul has any other questions? If you have one, you can bring it up. I'll try to give you a reasonable explanation. ”
Li Qingzhu looked at the British consul with a smile and asked.
"Zuihou a question, how do you convince Zhang Zuolin? He's not an idiot, he's been fighting against my British Empire for so long, even if you're his friend, and you can talk to him with just a piece of paper? I think Mr. Li had better convince me first. ”
The British consul is still very worried, if there is any agreement between Li Qingzhu and Zhang Zuolin, which is just to lure the British into being fooled, then won't he become a sinner for the ages of the British Empire? So he kept an eye on it. Let Li Qingzhu convince him first.
Li Qingzhu seemed to have known that the British consul would ask this, and blurted out without thinking about it at all: "It's very simple." Zhang Dashuai has always coveted your country's gunpowder jishu, if your country agrees to use gunpowder jishu in exchange, I believe Zhang Dashuai will be very happy, he has always been very conceited, in the case of his own strength is improved, he will not care so much about the turf. ”
"As long as your country keeps a low profile and doesn't touch Zhang Dashuai's bottom line, this little thing is easy to do, as for whether the jishu that your country uses to exchange is the core, it has nothing to do with me."
Li Qingzhu shrugged his shoulders and looked at the British consul with a very innocent expression, and the British consul was also reminded by Li Qingzhu's words, indeed, this kind of thing is the easiest thing to fake without being detected in terms of strong and weak countries.
Thinking of this, the British consul also believed Li Qingzhu's words.
"If it's really as you said, then we can pretend not to see the uprising of your friend this time, but, Mr. Li, when will you be able to fulfill your promise?"
The British consul preliminarily agreed to Li Qingzhu's proposal, but he was also very anxious about when what Li Qingzhu said could really be realized.
"After I go back, I will write a letter to Mr. Consul, and Mr. Consul will send someone to the Northeast, I believe that Zhang Dashuai will definitely agree after reading this letter."
Li Qingzhu smiled very confidently, and even the British consul was infected by him.
"Okay, but tomorrow is too long, I don't know if Mr. can write here, so it's convenient for me to leave it to my subordinates."
The British consul looked at Li Qingzhu with a smile on his face, Li Qingzhu couldn't help but scold this old fox, afraid that he would say it directly if he was doing something in his heart, and he said it so high-soundingly.
But Li Qingzhu didn't care, if he wanted to do something, these foreigners wouldn't be able to see that the Chinese word game was not something that these foreigners could play.
So Li Qingzhu did not shy away from saying at all: "No problem." ”
In this way, Li Qingzhu wrote a letter under the supervision of the British consul, in which Li Qingzhu explained the benefits of trading with the British, everything was so normal, you must know that the British consul had been in China for so long, and he still knew Chinese characters.
He also understands that Chinese people write letters with a brush from top to bottom, from right to left, otherwise he would not be sure if there is a problem here.
Li Qingzhu wrote more than a dozen articles in half-literate and half-white sentences, and it had been bright for a long time before Li Qingzhu finally wrote the letter.
The British consul was very satisfied with the pile of letters, he supervised the whole process, Li Qingzhu wrote without any problems, and the words in it even made him enthusiastic a few times, if he was Zhang Zuolin, he would definitely agree after reading it.
"Sir, what a genius, no matter which warlord reads this statement, he will agree to cooperate with my British Empire."
The British consul is in a very good mood now, and Li Qingzhu is much more pleasing to the eye.
Li Qingzhu didn't care about his praise, he moved his wrist and said to the British consul: "This letter Mr. Consul should be handed over to Zhang Dashuai as soon as possible, and I have a small request." ”
"Speak, please."
"My two students also miss their mothers, and the matter discussed with Mr. Consul today is a bit embarrassing in itself, so I also want to compensate my students, can you please help me bring a gift to my student's mother?" Even if it is to express their filial piety. ”
Li Qingzhu said to the British consul with a pleading face, although the British consul had a smile on his face, he was very disdainful in his heart, he said so decisively just now, who is he pretending to be a good person at this time?
But now that things are almost ready, there is no need for the British consul to have trouble with Li Qingzhu in this matter, so he asked, "What kind of gift do you say?" ”
"It's not a valuable gift, it's a thimble that we Chinese women often use when sewing clothes, which looks like a ring ring, and Mr. Consul can buy it as long as he sends someone to ask."
Li Qingzhu said his request, and the British consul thought that this was not a difficult matter, so it should be regarded as fulfilling Li Qingzhu's so-called conscience condemnation.
In fact, the consul is also quite skeptical, can a person like Li Qingzhu also have a conscience?
Li Qingzhu and the British consul had a very happy conversation, Li Qingzhu received a satisfactory answer, and the British consul also got the coveted opportunity to commend.
It seems like a win-win situation, but, is that really the case? (To be continued......)
