Leaving this ordinary-looking apartment, Li Jianyang tidied up the military uniform on his body and looked back again.

Standing behind a glass window, Churchill waved a cigar in his mouth and pointed to his head in the other, reminding him not to forget the London High Society Ball in the evening.

Li Jianyang made a clear gesture, took one last look at the mottled wall covered with roses, turned around and pushed open the courtyard door and left.

This is the place where Churchill meets women privately, and he is now having a hot fight with the Marquise Mayvin, and often has private meetings in this apartment, which is inconvenient for Li Jianyang to be present on such occasions.

Women are always very sensitive.

Even if the scandal has been flaunted by Churchill's big mouth, it would be good to hide it from the young and beautiful Marquise de Mayvin and let her think she was doing something unaware of it, and indulge in the pleasure of stealing pleasure.

Churchill is still very interesting, in recent years, he has often taken him to mix in the upper class of London, even if he is only a commoner, he is still not half a point weak in front of the Duke and Marquis.

The London high society, which has always been extremely xenophobic, is as smooth as his family's back garden, and everyone has to give face.

Speaking from the heart, Li Jianyang can't appreciate the European mistress culture, and he is very resistant from the heart, which is too chaotic.

He would rather put his family in the Humen mansion and endure the rush of separation between the two places, rather than his beautiful wife being exposed to the chaotic social circle of London's high society, those gentlemen who are superficially dignified and sanctimonious, seeing other people's beautiful ladies with green eyes, like male dogs in heat, are too uneasy.

"Young Master, ...... over here"

"Hmm."

Li Jianyang walked briskly to the extremely luxurious black "Crown-Royal World" car, which is the "Guixun Series" model sold in the face of the majority of nobles, in terms of grade, second only to the top "Zunyu Series" model.

The "Zun Yu Series" models do not have the status of dukes or above, and they can't buy them if they want to, they are luxury cars specially made for the imperial royal family and European royal families, each of which is specially customized and handmade.

The threshold of the "Guixun series" model is much lower, as long as it is a nobleman, it can be bought, and then there is a "celebrity series", which can be purchased by celebrities from all over the world, provided that it reaches the level of celebrities after the identity audit of the manufacturer.

Otherwise, money can't buy it.

It is this kind of arrogant special regulations that make the crown car firmly sit on the throne of the world's top luxury brand cars, so that the ordinary models of the crown car are also sold in short supply, and many people would rather pay in advance and wait in line for two or three years to have their own crown car.

Li Jianyang's "Crown-Yutianxia" sedan has a huge silver shield-shaped front face, a standing silver crown logo, and a layer of platinum plated on the outside of the integral steel plate, which looks magnificent.

This one front accessory alone is worth £645, which is enough to buy a Volkswagen sedan.

The dome-style cabin is high and bulging, with streamlined wheel baffles and a long body, it looks full of aura.

Li Jianyang was greeted by his driver and bodyguard, A Ghost, a middle-aged man with a slender figure and a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle falcon, who was a rare good hand among the Humen mercenaries.

Ah Ghost turned around and took the initiative to open the car door for Li Jianyang.

"Oh, this car is so beautiful, can you take the liberty of disturbing this oriental gentleman, does it belong to you?"

The woman's surprised voice echoed in his ears, and Li Jianyang followed the voice to look over, it was two young Caucasian women in delicate dresses, shopping arm in arm in the London afternoon sun.

The taller woman had delicate faces, glowing white skin, and the shorter woman had brown eyes and some light freckles on her face, looking like she was eighteen or nineteen years old, staring at the car with curiosity.

"Two beautiful young ladies, what can I do for you?" Li Jianyang did not answer their words directly, but asked a rhetorical question very politely.

"Hello, please forgive me for not seeing such a beautiful car, and asked curiously." The tall girl looked well-bred and took the initiative to introduce herself; "This young lady is my good friend Jessica Scott, and I am Miss Cullen, the youngest daughter of Sir Williams, are you a gentleman from the East?"

"Yes, miss, I'm Sir Lee from the Ocean Empire, serving in the Royal Antwerp Grenadier Regiment, and I'm happy to serve you."

"Oh, you're an Oriental nobleman?"

"Miss, you can call me 'Lee,' that's what my friends call me. ”

"Ocean Empire, I know it's a place where wool is abundant, and there is also delicious seafood, and we had the tuna steak at noon today, and it was really delicious."

"You have good taste, Miss Cullen." Li Jianyang wasted no time in complimenting.

His family has the largest marine fishing company in Humen, more than 130 ocean-going fishing vessels, and a seafood canning factory with more than 8,000 employees, producing the famous "Tulip" brand canned food.

Backed by the rich Red Sea, distant-water fishing is a major pillar of Humen's economy, with more than a dozen fishing companies and 1,000 private fishing vessels, providing more than 60,000 jobs.

There are countless seafood processing factories on the shore, supplying a variety of foods other than canned seafood, including salted kelp, salted jellyfish, various salted fish, chilled fish and shrimp, as well as refreshing shredded squid that can be eaten out of the bag, fish floss, grilled fish, etc., with a variety of flavors, which is a major product exported to Europe by Humen.

From Humen, refrigerated ships laden with fish products take 5 days to reach French ports, bringing delicious seafood from the Red Sea to the tables of Europeans, and has developed into a regular route.

Of course, Li Jianyang knows that tuna, its delicious meat is the best to eat chilled, and it can also be made into various canned tuna steaks, an adult bluefin tuna can easily make more than 2,000 pounds, and a pound of canned fish can make more than 3,000.

This is because canned fish is not only a fish steak, but also a seasoning and soup, which can sell for a high tuna steak price, so canned fish is really a good business.

After a brief pleasantries

Li Jianyang quickly became familiar with these two scheming young ladies, so he invited them to get in the car and experience this luxury car in depth.

The driver Ah Ghost has already seen no surprise, the car he drives is simply a beautiful female harvester, there are always those beautiful young ladies full of curiosity moths to fight the fire, when the young master is not there, he himself has tasted such a good taste.

The Crown sedan drove away, passing Churchill's Volkswagen car parked on the side of the road, and Churchill's car looked like an ugly duckling in comparison.

There's a reason why Li Jianyang is so high-profile in London's high society, not only because he has a secret mission, but also because he needs to socialize widely in London's high society to open up markets for his tobacco brand.

The aristocratic ladies here are very snobbish, and they are not shy about talking in public, and they can be heard, such as Churchill "was a suspicious premature baby", "a ridiculous mistake", etc., and the words are extremely mean.

Churchill, who grew up in this environment as a teenager, had a penchant for spirits and cigars, and his change from clumsy speech to bombastic and eager to prove himself had something to do with it.

on the surface

Churchill mingled with the high society of London, and in fact turned his back, full of disdain and disdain, he really needed a true friend, and a very rich kind.

Li Jianyang plays the role of this kind of rich friend, the two have experienced life and death together in South Africa, share a big secret that can ruin his reputation, have a tangled interest in the farmer's gold mine, and are young people who have a common language, or sworn brothers.

But that alone was not enough, Churchill was by no means the kind of person who could be bound by brotherhood, and secrets could not be held hostage to him.

This is because when you catch someone else's **, they are also threatening your vital point.

Viscount Humen is a man with heels, not the kind of bachelor who feeds the whole family without hunger, and his huge seafood business, mercenary business, tobacco business, and intertwined interests in Humen City have become a bargaining chip in Churchill's hands.

It is precisely because of this that Li Jianyang can get his full trust.

Churchill was a ruthless man from the bottom of his life, and only interests could bind him to his side, and coercion could only break the relationship between the two sides, which the wise man did not do.

Is it difficult to kill a person in this day and age?

More than a decade later, during Churchill's tenure as Home Secretary, there was unrest in London, and he directly ordered the army to set up artillery and machine guns to carry out massacres, which were ruthless in suppression and widely criticized for their heavy-handed methods.

Such a person cannot be threatened at all.

Brotherhood is never given unilaterally, and that relationship cannot last.

While Churchill took care of Li Jianyang, Li Jianyang gave him enough decency, such as settling the bill when he was shy, taking a luxurious crown car to travel to the upper-class celebrity drinking party, giving him boxes of Cuban cigars for his enjoyment, renting an apartment as a place for a secret tryst with his lover, and occasionally the two hunted together to enhance the brotherly relationship.

Li Jianyang's efforts have also paid off handsomely, and the family's tobacco business has found strong enough partners in Europe to successfully enter the British and European markets without suffering from small difficulties.

The relevant tobacco industry associations were leveled by Mr. Congressman, which is nothing more than a compromise of interests and a strong enough background, under the calm water, it is a thrilling sword shadow.

Without Churchill's strong help, the Humen cigarette brand wanted to enter the European market, which was a pipe dream.

The tobacco industry in Xixiangzhou is developed, with more than 100 cigarette brands of various types, including high, medium and low-end categories, and the main sales markets are in the South Seas, the Indian subcontinent, the Far East and the empire itself, and there are very few that can enter the European market.

Mainly a few high-end brands, and the number is also very small.

Why?

Because Europe itself has its own cigarette brand, this is a mature and large market, and the original forces operate it impermeably, and they are hostile to outsiders.

If you want to break into it and share the existing big cake, the difficulty can be imagined.

Such difficulty is only for ordinary businessmen, Churchill, as a distinguished member of parliament born in the family of the Duke of Marlboro, directly reduced ten meetings, and if he is not satisfied, he will kill you, and naturally there is no disadvantage.

Of course, Li Jianyang also gave back rich returns, and Churchill deservedly laughed at it, and the two sides continued to enhance their brotherhood in the process of coming and going......

Speaking of which, in recent years, Li Jianyang has also stumbled in the upper class of London, and the mean British did not let him go, calling him "an illegitimate son's doglegs", "bloody Oriental mercenaries", and "barbarians with low blood". ”

For this reason, Li Jianyang asked for a duel in a fit of rage.

Although this kind of private duel to protect the reputation of the nobility was not officially recognized, it was still popular in European countries in the early 20th century.

There were two duels in total, one against the viscount and the other against the baron.

The first time, Li Jianyang blew Mr. Viscount's head with a pistol, and the second time he used his sword to open 6 bloody holes in Mr. Baron's body, and he was unscathed and won a crushing victory.

Li Jianyang immediately became famous, and he could no longer hear that kind of bitter ridicule, and everywhere he passed was awe-inspiring eyes.

Strong people are respected everywhere, and Churchill is very fond of attending high-class drinking parties with Li Jianyang, so that his ears will be much quieter.

Churchill's combat effectiveness is the scum of war, and he dare not dare to fight a duel, so he can only rely on his strong brothers.

The results of the two duels shocked the top of British society.

Brigadier General Senge, the commander of the Royal Antwerp Grenadier Regiment in which Li Jianyang served, once specially approached him for this purpose and said; "Alright...... Enough, kid, don't go any further. ”

"Your Excellency, Honorable Brigadier General, I will defend my noble honor to the death."

"I know that no one will accuse you of this, but don't go any further, I think those people will keep their mouths shut, after all, it is not a wise idea to provoke an oriental master. Is it true that you have been adventuring in the deserts of West Asia since you were 12 years old? ”

"Yes, the first time I killed was just a month after my 12th birthday, when an Ottoman cavalryman tried to take me off his horse, and I plunged a dagger into his chest."

"Ahem, ahem...... This is really ......" Brigadier General Senge couldn't find the right words to express his mood at the moment for a while, so he shrugged his shoulders and said; "It's an amazing experience, well, I think those people in London will keep their mouths shut, it's stupid to look for death. Promise me, don't go on any longer, okay? ”

"All I can say is as much as possible."

"Well, that's a good result, and I think you need to know the fact that it's something that was specifically ordered from above."

"Understand, I can apply for retirement if needed."

"No, no need, our military doesn't know what has happened, it seems to me that you are a qualified British officer, brave and responsible, but you have to understand that there are only more than 600 nobles in Britain, and two people are already a lot."

"Thank you, General, I understand."

"That's good, now you can take a pleasant vacation."

"Thank you very much."

The conversation between Brigadier General Senge and Li Jianyang soon spread to the British high society circle, and this young Oriental man with hundreds of lives in his hands has since become an unprovoked existence.

Although some people still talk behind his back, saying that he is "Satan from the East" or "the god of death walking in the world", absolutely no one dares to fool around in front of him, and there are false and polite smiles everywhere.
