After posting this, he switched to the chat interface and contacted Chen Manqing.

"Meng Chen, has the medicinal herb base officially started?"

Chen Manqing's voice came quickly.

"Not yet, but soon. How are you trying to grow herbs over there?"

Meng Chen replied.

Some time ago, he had already ordered some medicinal herb seeds related to the Body Refining Soup online and sent them to Chen Manqing. They are all medicinal herbs that are not available in the ancient world.

"More than half of them have already sprouted! I feel that it can be done! In addition, the expansion of Hu'er City has officially started, and I plan to change the name of Hu'er City to 'Qingchen City!'"

Chen Manqing said excitedly.

Obviously, the development of Hu'er City was extremely smooth during this time.

"You don't have to change your name, does it make your dad think you want to stand on your own?"

Meng Chen said with a smile.

"No, our barbarian powerhouses have a long lifespan, and it is very common for the city lord to change the name of the city. By the way, Meng Chen, what are you looking for me?"

Chen Manqing replied quickly.

"Well, that's good. You can help me find a way to restrain the ghost as soon as possible, and I can force the ghost to ask for the way I want information, I have an urgent need. ”

Meng Chen said.

“...... Meng Chen, have you started to "ghost" now? hehe...... However, if the Witch Spirit Mind Asking Technique is cultivated, it should be able to do this. ”

Chen Manqing smiled over there.

"it...... That witch spirit mind asking technique is too difficult to practice, my spiritual talent is not good, you find me some simple and fast way, don't be afraid of consuming resources, the key is to be able to play a role as soon as possible. ”

Meng Chen said.

"Okay! I'll go find someone right away. ”

Chen Manqing agreed.

Meng Chen didn't say anything more, and directly switched the chat interface to Su Can's side.

Su Can has already sent a reply.

"Cousin, why are you sending me these 'mineral distribution maps?' Are we going to buy mines?"

Su Can's voice came.

"It's good that you know first, there are still a lot of affairs on the side of the Demon Capital...... Have you done a good job of taking a stake in the steamship China Merchants Bureau and the layout of the machine weaving?"

Meng Chen said.

"Well, the talks are almost over, and the clerical contract can be made tomorrow. On the China Merchants side of the steamship, we invested 1.5 million taels worth of silver in various currencies to buy 10% of the shares. The cheaper point of the machine-woven layout, we only need to invest a total price of 600,000 taels of national currencies in exchange for 30% of the shares. ”

Su Can quickly replied.

"Well, it's all settled in the currencies of various countries, and we mainly keep gold and silver. ”

Meng Chen nodded.

This price is neither high nor low, and China Merchants Steamship is now the most profitable one among the Western-related industries. In addition, China Merchants Steamship also participates in and controls Kaiping Mining Bureau and other industries, which is a high-quality asset.

The layout of Modu machine weaving has not officially started mass production, and it is still relatively active in IPO financing, and it actually gave Su Can 30% of the shares.

However, this is also a normal thing, and the reputation of the Qing court is now very poor, and few private businessmen are willing to invest in this kind of industry.

For this, Meng Chen is not worried, investment is investment, and it is not so easy for the Qing court to recover it.

Of course, the reason why he asked Su Can to invest in these two industries was due to a variety of factors.

"Well, my cousin, I know, do what you want...... By the way, cousin, during this period of time, the secret agents of foreigners began to wander around the 'Qingyang Mountain' more and more frequently! I received a secret report from my cronies that at least a dozen of my beggar gang disciples have been bought by them, and they are constantly passing on the news from this side to the foreign devils...... In the past two days, I didn't dare to stay in the magic capital, and I came back to Qingyang Mountain in person. ”

Su Can agreed, and then continued.

"What nationality are they from?"

Meng Chen asked.

"I'm not sure, but everyone has it. ”

Su Can replied.

"Are there any islanders?"

Meng Chen stood up and asked Su Can.

"Yes! I've seen Dongying Ronin, and there are quite a few of them. ”

Su Can quickly replied.

"Kill them!"

Meng Chen said.

“...... Cousin, this is not a big deal, is it? ”

Su Can was slightly silent before sending a reply.

"What's so hard to do? Everything is supported by your cousin, what are you worried about?"

Meng Chen smiled.

“......”

Su Can's side fell silent.

"Su Can, it's definitely not okay to do big things but be afraid of taking risks...... Only by killing chickens and monkeys can other foreigners be suppressed, do it cleanly, and don't leave a handle on the surface...... In addition, after you get the shares of China Merchants and Machine Weaving Layout, you have to start buying some mining tools and start 'mining' in Qingyang Mountain. ”

Meng Chen continued.

“...... Cousin, didn't you say before that I should become the richest man in the world in three months to six months? I'm not in a hurry, we can take our time, how good is it to sell diamonds slowly in the magic capital? Besides, what do you mean by asking me to do some mining in Qingyang Mountain? The people of the yamen have been looking for five days and five nights, but they have not found anything...... We're 'mining' in the mountains again, isn't that another suspicion?"

Su Can was silent for a while before sending a reply.

Meng Chen's face immediately sank, "Su Can, if you don't mine in the mountains, won't others suspect you? All of your diamonds fell from the sky? Don't you take advantage of the moment to solve this problem, and wait until everyone sees you as an 'outlier', is it still too late?"

“......”

Su Can was silent again.

After a while, he replied again, "Cousin, even if I am mining in the mountains for a show, I am just focusing the eyes of foreign devils...... Moreover, the Yamen side is not a vegetarian, if I do this, they will come to prospect again, and even take back Qingyang Mountain......"

"Is it so easy to buy shares in the steamship China Merchants Bureau and the machine-woven layout? Now that you are relying on the big tree of Li Hongzhang, in a short period of time, which yamen here in the magic capital will dare to provoke you?"

Meng Chen replied.

"But...... Cousin, I just hooked up with Li Hongzhang. And Li Hongzhang is not the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, let alone the old lady...... Besides, even if it's the two of them, do they dare to offend foreigners? I don't think we should go against foreigners, just make good money. ”

Su Can still hesitated.

Meng Chen sighed in his heart, simply picked up his mobile phone again, and told Su Can all about the plan of the magic capital.

There are some plans, Meng Chen doesn't want to tell Su Can in advance, he really hopes that he will think more about it, and it is best to guess the follow-up plan by himself, so that Su Can can grow up as soon as possible.

But looking at it like this, it won't work if you don't give him some hints.

Table ...... Cousin...... You're ...... If I do, it's going to be an international event! Will they let me go? Where is my retreat? What will I do after that?"

After Su Can listened to the plan, he immediately breathed heavily and replied intermittently.

"After that, didn't I make you clear enough after that?"

Meng Chen said lightly.
