Zeng Jize appeared, Xuan Zonglu and Xuan Hongbo went to greet him in person, giving enough face and not daring to slack off.Xuan Zonglu let Zeng Jize to his side, and after Zeng Jize and everyone greeted him, he immediately announced the start of the play, and the gongs and drums of the troupe remembered, and the mat music of carrying the flag and carrying the flag was played.Zeng Jize saw Xuan Yuemeng and Zeng Siping playing not far away, and greeted Zeng Siping and Xuan Zonglu, who both sat beside him, and the two of them came over with little short legs, and sat down next to Zeng Jize on the left and right.This can make Xuan Hongbo angry, Xuan Hongtao sat over, he was almost angry, but Xuan Hongtao is also the eldest son no matter how he says, he is his eldest brother, where is the generation, there is a banquet at home, Xuan Hongtao sits at the main table It is also reasonable, your Xuan Hongtao's youngest son who has passed out also came to sit on the main seat, and he is still sitting next to Zeng Jize, why "Lord Zeng, you order the play first" Xuan Zonglu handed the excerpt to Zeng Jize.Zeng Jize smiled and pushed it back to Xuan Zonglu, "I don't know how to play, let's order it for other adults, or give it to these foreign gentlemen, they don't listen to the drama much." ”Xuan Yuemeng secretly said that Zeng Jize was amazing, and he rounded the scene with an understatement, no one should be offended, and it would not make people feel arrogant.In fact, except for Xuan Yuemeng's bad impression of Zeng's mansion, Xuan Yuemeng admires Zeng Jize very much, and Xuan Hongtao and Xuan Hongbo are about the same age, so the demeanor and bearing are completely different things.Everyone pushed and conceded, and finally Sheng Xuanhuai ordered the play, in addition to identity, today Sheng Xuanhuai is a veritable protagonist, everyone is watching his face, Sheng Xuanhuai doesn't say much, in fact, everyone is watching after all, after all, they are just coming to Zhili with Li Zhongtang, they are not familiar with the situation, and they are very unfamiliar with the people, so they are very cautious, and Sheng Xuanhuai himself is a cautious and careful person.The atmosphere at the main table is very bad, although everyone is very polite, but you can feel the invisible cold breath lingering on everyone's side, except for Zeng Jize, the eyes of the people at this table are all turned to Sheng Xuanhuai from time to time, and they all seem to want to talk to Sheng Xuanhuai about a lot of expansion projects in Beiyang Yamen, and it is inconvenient to speak in front of others, even Xuan Yuemeng feels very depressed.Xuan Yuemeng has a lot of experience in working in the company, of course, she understands the importance of the first shot, whether Klinsmann can be born smoothly depends on whether you can receive business, and where the business is is on this table.What is the business to do, what is the information, where does the information come from, the network.The crowd of "good" people applauded loudly, but the attention of the people at the main table was not on the stage.As soon as the play ends, the people of the theater troupe come to see if the host will give a reward.Six scenes, how much can be rewarded, if it can't exceed eighty taels, Xuan Yuemeng must have to post money, but Xuan Yuemeng's pressure is not here, he knows that he will definitely not post money, he is worried about whether the drama he directed before can be staged smoothly, after all, letting Klinsmann show his strength in front of everyone is what Xuan Yuemeng urgently needs at present.Zhilin slapped his face, "Okay, reward, this first scene, I will reward twenty taels of silver on behalf of Lord Sheng" The person in charge of receiving the reward from the troupe took the reward from Zhilin's servant, and reported loudly with a silver ticket: "Lord Sheng Xuanhuai rewarded twenty taels of silver" Everyone applauded again, and those who watched the play did not need to pay, of course, I hope that the more big households will pay, the better, because the richer the reward, the harder the people of the troupe will watch the play when they perform, and this atmosphere is also needed, which is the characteristic of the Gyeonggi region, In this era, northerners love to watch Peking Opera.Sheng Xuanhuai smiled slightly, "Why are you embarrassed to let Lord Zhilin break the bank." ”Although Sheng Xuanhuai said this, he secretly scolded Zhilin in his heart, if you want to give a reward, you can give a reward, and what to do with me to outsiders It feels as if we are very familiar.Hurd glanced at McMarfoy, the manager of Xintaixing Foreign Company, who was sitting at another table, and motioned McMarfoy to reward McMarfoy, and immediately gave an order to his assistant.The people of the opera troupe said loudly again: "Mr.
Makamafo of Xintaixing Foreign Company rewarded thirty taels of silver" This time everyone did not applaud violently, but boomed, and burst into a huge exclamation, all looked back at McMaaof, and they all felt that this foreigner was crazy Originally, according to the market price, a play reward of twenty taels is already a top reward, and those who can be here today are some people with heads and faces on the streets of Tianjin, and naturally they all understand the market.Everyone's surprised eyes, which made McMarfoy feel that the money was worth it The people of the drama troupe took the silver tickets and rushed to the backstage, and handed over the silver tickets to Xuan Dali, Xuan Dali has been guarding the backstage, this is all agreed by Xuan Yuemeng and Xuan Dali in advance, and the troupe owner Wu Laosan didn't ask, it is indeed very disciplined, and it will be what it is, but Wu Laosan also regrets it in his heart, this is the first play, and he has already rewarded fifty taels, it seems that he will break one hundred taels casually today, There is no suspense at all, the little young master of the Dark Dao Xuan family is really a villain, and everything is accurate.In fact, Xuan Yuemeng didn't expect that these two would be so heavy, and he was also shocked.Xuan Yuemeng has been here for so long, and now she is engaged in the exchange business, so she naturally has a very clear concept of the price of this era, fifty taels, fifty taels is already a big sum of money, and the feeling of surprise makes Xuan Yuemeng's heart and liver puff and puff.Xuan vigorously put the two sums of money together, ran out in his pocket, and went straight to Timothy Lee's side, leaning down.Timothy Lee himself felt a little inexplicable, he didn't summon Xuan Dali over, but Xuan Dali put his ear to his mouth, whether he said anything or not, it was as if Timothy Li was instructing Xuan Dali something.Xuan Dali got up after nodding and reported loudly: "Mr.
Timothy Lee of Klinsmann & Co. has a reward of fifty taels" Boom, this time the huge sigh was even louder, and everyone turned their eyes to Timothy Lee again.Timothy Lee also enjoyed such a gaze for the first time, and he couldn't be arrogant, so he kept two big nostrils for the audience.Zhilin, Hurd, Sheng Xuanhuai, everyone, immediately looked at Timothy Lee, at first everyone did not take this unknown foreigner in their eyes Although Sheng Xuanhuai first came to Zhili, but since he is engaged in foreign affairs, he must first find out the bottom of these foreign companies in the Zhili area, and Klinsmann Foreign Firm, which has just been registered and has not even had an official office location, is certainly not within Sheng Xuanhuai's grasp.Sheng Xuanhuai and several people around him talked about Timothy Li one after another, and they were very interested in him.Watching the play is not afraid of being lively, after the huge sigh is like a thunderous applause, a one-time reward of fifty taels, not to mention that it is on the ground in Tianjin, that is, put it in Beijing, such a generous reward is rare, even the head of the Wu family's class Wu Laosan is extremely excited, although this reward has little to do with him, no matter how considerable the final total reward can reach, he can only get eighty taels, but Wu Laosan has now come out of the regret just now, knowing that someone is deliberately raising the price to fight for wealth, It shouldn't be their own and not their own, people are often like this, they could have gotten a hundred taels, but they only got eighty taels, which would be extremely uncomfortable, but when they know that the price they might get is far more than eighty taels and many times, it is easy to calm down quickly.Because the head of the Wu class knew that if it weren't for the little son of the Xuan family who contracted the reward, it would never have been possible to give such a huge amount of reward, even if this reward had nothing to do with the Wu family class in the end, but under the witness of so many people present, there were so many dignitaries and nobles, celebrities in the capital, once there was a higher reward amount again, so high that it was unheard of in the entire history of Zhili, he Wu Jiaban was really going to be famous, and being famous was equivalent to making money, Wu Laosan seemed to have seen a lot of silver tickets flying towards him.Not to mention Wu Laosan, the head of the Wu family's class, even Timothy Li, who had already guessed the situation inside, was surprised, peeking at Xuan Yuemeng, Xuan Yuemeng was eating indifferently, as if all this had nothing to do with him.Xuan Yuemeng smiled and asked Zeng Siping beside him, "Is it delicious" Zeng Siping: "It's not delicious, look at what you eat is the same as mine, is it yours to be delicious or let's change it" Xuan Yuemeng smiled, "Okay, I'll feed you a bite." ”Zeng Jize looked at the children around him, people are thrilling over there, you two have a small life, I don't know how to feel.At the beginning of the second scene, the atmosphere of the main table has completely changed, this kind of fighting for wealth is actually very embarrassing, this is not buying anything specific, of course it is not like an auction, this kind of reward, it is purely a fighting for wealth, nonsensical fighting for wealth, just to buy face, now the problem of Zhilin, Hurd, and Timothy Lee is that no one can retreat, because the atmosphere of chasing deer has been formed, who can be in the limelight today, tomorrow will be considered in the Zhili area, and even in the north of the entire Qing Dynasty, Even in the entire Qing Dynasty, the most powerful business representative behind Hurd's McMarford can be described as wealthy, Xintaixing Foreign Company is one of the best British foreign companies in the whole of North China, and even in the whole of China, and even to a certain extent, it represents an overall image of the entire British business community in China.
Originally, Zhilin thought that if he was a little-known Klinsmann foreign firm, he was still willing to fight for face and show his strength.When the time for the second reward came, people simply couldn't even cheer after the play, and everyone's attention was focused on the Doufu performance in the direction of the main table, which was obviously more attractive than the illusory story on the stage.Everyone looked at the main seat in unison.Hurd pressed his hand against McMauff, motioning for the others to tip first, and they would tip last, the same is what Zhilin meant.Timothy Li looked at Xuan Yuemeng, Xuan Yuemeng sat there seriously, a little adult, all this fell into the eyes of everyone at the main table, it was very strange, why did the general manager of a foreign company go to see the face of a few months old doll Xuan Yuemeng is really no different from a normal little doll when she is not talking.Xuan Zonglu really couldn't figure it out, and Xuan Hongbo couldn't figure it out even more, he just felt that since Xuan Yuemeng was born, he didn't go anywhere.In fact, even Xuan Hongtao didn't know what was going on, thinking that Xuan Yuemeng was just Timothy Lee's think tank, how much Xuan Yuemeng had ability, Xuan Hongtao was very clear, and he was almost superstitious about his youngest son who was a few months old.The person in charge of the reward of the troupe was still waiting, thinking that there was no one to reward this scene, and was about to go down, when he came vigorously and glaringly, and lay in Timothy Lee's ear as usual, listening to something matter-of-factly.Timothy Lee also learned to be obedient, obviously he didn't say anything, this time he actually put his hand to Xuan Dali's ear, as if he really said something, in fact, Timothy Lee just whined and made a few strange sounds, and everyone was eager to post it over to listen to what the two people said.Xuan vigorously got up, took out the fifty taels he had just gotten, and showed it to everyone, "Mr.
Timothy Lee, the general manager of Klinsmann & Co., rewarded fifty taels of silver" Everyone was a whoop again, although it was not as shocking as the first time, but it was also pleasantly surprised, so exciting, and fifty taels of official silver, everyone was thinking that this time the troupe was rich, and they were all thinking that it would be good if they had so much money to reward themselves.Hurd squinted at Zhilin, Zhilin had already stood up, planning to take advantage of the time when no one was paying attention, "Lord Zhilin, why don't you play and everyone is so happy, let's make a price" t1706231537:
