Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Rich and capricious.You have all met my second brother, and he will also be your second brother in the future. ”Most of these people were older than Xuan Yuewen, but all of them bowed their heads and shouted, "Second brother." ”Xuan Yuewen felt funny, "Da Zhi Da, why do you call you never called me before, besides, you are both older than me." ”Vigorously smiled: "Second brother, this is not from you, we are all young master's people, we have to recognize it from the young master, in the future, if we meet Yubing, we also have to call sister." ”Xuan Yuewen felt funny, and didn't seem to find the incorrectness of the reason, so he smiled: "Uh, Yuemeng, what are you looking for me" Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "It's very simple, if you take the time to teach them a few words, they will recognize the most basic, they can recognize five hundred words, and they can basically not be regarded as illiterate, you have to teach them the three-character scripture and the thousand-character text." ”Xuan Yuewen is a generous person, "Okay."
This can be wrapped around me.Yue Meng, your brother and I don't want to study anymore, I want to do business with you, how old are you, you are a person, you are buying a car, and you are a buyer slave, your sister-in-law is nagging me all day long, if I can't get into a show next year, I will have to be nagged to death by her. ”Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "Then you will take the test to show your talents." ”Xuan Yuewen: "Well, you should be our family's showman, just take the test, the third uncle is almost thirty years old, and he hasn't passed the test." ”Xuan Yuemeng heard Xuan Yuewen mention Xuan Hongyu, and then remembered that he hadn't seen Xuan Hongyu for a long time, he was busy during this time, and he left early in the morning, "I haven't seen him for a long time, you saw him" Xuan Yuewen smiled: "Doesn't he come back every day, do you think he can go anywhere, he is just afraid of the second uncle, and he doesn't dare to meet the second uncle." ”Xuan Yuemeng sighed, thinking of Xuan Hongbo, he was angry, plus Xuan Hongbo's friend Zhilin ruined the Wu family class, Xuan Yuemeng also calculated a small part of this account to Xuan Hongbo's head, if it wasn't for Xuan Hongbo to attract people, he wouldn't have counted himself like this, he didn't want to think that if he hadn't cheated Zhilin, Wu Jiaban wouldn't have fallen so bad luck The guard class has it, and the candidate for the guard class literacy has also been found, Xuan Yuemeng is still thinking about Wu Laosan's affairs, If you can get Wu Laosan to be a martial arts instructor and follow him, it will be really beautiful" Dali, you will go to see what is going on with Wu Jiaban every day in the future, come back and tell me, you will inquire first tomorrow, whether Wu Jiaban is still in Tianjin" Xuan Yuewen Of course he also knew about Wu Jiaban, although he didn't know what was going on with Wu Jiaban, but it was spread all over Tianjin, and everyone thought that it was Xuan Yuemeng who made such a big sum of money at one time that dragged down Wu Jiaban.Xuan Yuewen heard that Xuan Yuemeng cared about the situation of the Wu family, and said that Xuan Yuemeng was because of guilt, and touched Xuan Yuemeng's head, "It's all fate, don't blame yourself too much." ”Xuan Yuemeng, who slept for a while, let go of her negative emotions, there are many difficult things to do, and most of the things in the world are difficult to do, sometimes you don't even want to wash your hair by yourself, unless someone helps you wash it.When Xu Xiangzhi and Xiaohua helped Xuan Yuemeng wash her hair, Xuan Yuemeng thought so.The warm water, Xu Xiangzhi gently touched Xuan Yuemeng's head, while she was lying on Xiaohua's lap, quite comfortable.Xuan Yuemeng asked Dali and Xuan Da Niu Xuan Er Niu Xuan San Niu to accompany him to the concession to find Timothy Li.Timothy Lee: "Mr.
Yuemeng, you are finally here, I have been looking around for a place in the past two days to see where it is suitable to rent a venue to open a foreign company, whether you want to rent a venue, or want to buy a venue, these companies say that if the price is right, you can also consider selling." ”Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "I don't plan to rent a venue, nor do I plan to buy a ready-made house. ”Timothy Li sweated too much, "Could it be that Mr.
Yuemeng wants to buy land and build a building by himself, don't you have to go so far, there are many empty houses in the British Concession, the French Concession and the American Concession, it is not very prosperous here, and the housing prices are not high, and the cost of building a house by yourself may be higher than buying a ready-made house, and it is built on the vacant land, there must be no ready-made house in a good location, I fancy a few, don't you plan to take a look at it first" Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Mr.
Timothy Li, I thought about it all day yesterday, Have you ever thought about which concession our foreign bank is most suitable for?"
Timothy Lee: "The British Concession, because the British Concession has the best security, the most perfect management, and the largest flow of people, and has become the core of the concession area."
Both the French Concession and the American Concession are basically unmanaged, and public security is not good, and when doing business, public security is the primary consideration. ”Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "What you said is good, however, the public security problem does not have to be managed by the concession side, as long as we have a good business, we also have the strength to manage it, I didn't buy a gun, if the business is good, I can also talk to the concession side, help them manage the patrol house, increase the number of Chinese arrests, and the law and order will not be better" Timothy Li listened to Xuan Yuemeng's freshness, and he had never thought about the problem of Chinese arrest.Xuan Yuemeng didn't come up with it himself, he saw too much on the beach, isn't the golden gold Rong the head of the French Concession, just relying on the title of Hua Yu, he ate all over Shanghai Beach and became a famous tycoon, of course, Xuan Yuemeng's ambition is by no means to be a golden glory, just to say that Hua Yu Fang, he can definitely learn from the experience, if he remembers well, Shanghai Tang will not have Hua Yu Fang until twenty or thirty years later.Timothy Li: "Then, Mr.
Yuemeng, you are planning to choose the address of our foreign bank in the French Concession or the American Concession" Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "The American Concession, the location of the French Concession is not as good as the American Concession, I have already thought about it, there are almost no people in the American Concession now, the occupancy rate is not even half, there is only a very small street, and most of the area along the river is empty, I want to apply to the American Consulate to buy this large area." ”Timothy Lee: "Timothy Li is completely speechless, boss, boss, you really think about everything, buy most of the American Concession at one time, do you know how much it costs to buy a piece of land, how can someone sell it to you Xuan Yuemeng: "Go, you go to the American Consul William now, first see what he says, test his tone, by the way, see how much it will cost, and then think about what to do next." ”Timothy Lee's head shook like a wave drum, "Mr.
Yuemeng, you spare me, you think this is buying a carriage What a big project this has to be approached by the German Consulate and the American Consulate" Xuan Yuemeng smiled, "You are very smart, that's what I mean, you can say that you are talking about this matter privately for the German Consulate, don't I estimate that the Franco-Prussian War will definitely end with Germany winning We are all Germans now, so the foreign firm must not choose to open in the French Concession, choose to open in the American Concession, If the location is not good, it is better to open it in the British Concession.But if it is opened in the British Concession, when will we be able to do those old foreign companies that have taken root in the Great Qing Kingdom for a long time" Timothy Li was too confused, "But, Mr.
Yuemeng, I still didn't understand, that large area along the river is all a vacant wasteland with stones, what are you going to do Even the street has not been formed, it is said that it used to be a mass grave for Chinese, and the night is strange and scary, I have never been there, buy it and enjoy the river view, I'm sorry, Mr.
Yuemeng, I really don't see any use for that wasteland.Moreover, what does this have to do with the German Consulate, our German business is all in Shanghai, only Beijing has a consulate, and there is no German concession here. ”Xuan Yuemeng saw that Timothy Li had a disagreement with his own ideas, but he was not in a hurry, and patiently explained his thoughts: "Mr.
Timothy Li, if Germany wins the Franco-Prussian War, we can join forces with the German foreign firm in Beijing and Tianjin to ask Germany to set up a consulate in Tianjin, then we can give a piece of this large piece of land to the German consulate, and even we can offer to donate a consulate, and if we can really buy this large piece of land smoothly, We can develop it ourselves, level it ourselves, build river embankments, build streets, why can't we turn this vacant land into the next Shanghai Bund Have you ever thought about it, if it can really be realized, this entire Tianjin North Beach is ours, isn't this a big business, the lot is not good, we turn him into a good one, don't we make the land valuable" Let a thing that was originally worthless, after buying it, let it appreciate in value, this is doing business, Xuan Yuemeng's concept has not changed because of Timothy Lee's opposition and doubts.Timothy Li was almost stunned by Xuan Yuemeng, "Mr.
Yuemeng, I have to admit that you are the most daring and daring person I have ever seen, but this is too unreasonable, it is completely impossible, how can the Americans sell most of the concession to us Moreover, even if you buy such a large piece of vacant land, and you want to develop it as you said, how much does it cost depends on your 100,000 taels of silver If you don't have a million taels of silver, I don't have to ask at all, although these lands are vacant land, one million taels of Chinese official silver, Nothing more, no less.Even if your family gives you another five million taels of silver, everything you said will not be realized, Mr.
Yuemeng, shouldn't we be more down-to-earth, first find a place to open a foreign bank, and then according to what you told me at the beginning, we will go to the Beiyang Yamen, fight for business with them, and strive to be able to get the Huai army 10,000 people to be transferred to the banks of the Grand Canal, dig and build embankments, and dredge the river, so many people have to eat and dress, we will be better off if we get this project, and you didn't say, Li Hongzhang also plans to build an arsenal and barracks, expand the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, so many businesses are in a hurry to fight, why do you spend so much trouble on such a thing as choosing the address of a foreign bank, I really don't understand. ”Xuan Yuemeng: "Mr.
Timothy Li, I asked you to talk about this matter, and there is no conflict with us to go to the Beiyang Yamen to fight for cooperation projects, you don't think about everything too simply, if we can't win a cooperation project, is it our foreign bank to stop, please believe me, although this project is very big, it doesn't sound realistic, but what has not been done, don't easily lose confidence, okay, Mr.
Timothy Li, now it's time for you to go to the U.S.
Consulate to show your demeanor." ”Timothy Li shook his head, he was a little impatient, but when Mr.
Yuemeng talked to him, he was always calm, and sometimes Timothy Li suspected that Xuan Yuemeng was reincarnated at all, and there was no shadow of a child at all, completely like a seasoned old man.But I'm just a worker, and if I don't want to go, I have to go hard, Timothy Li was instructed by Xuan Yuemeng to go to the American Concession.Williams also heard about Timothy Lee's house a few days ago, although the current Klinsmann firm does not even have an address, but it is very famous, the key Klinsmann firm is still registered in the American concession, and Williams warmly received Timothy Lee.Xuan Yuemeng didn't go up, but let Dali and Da Niu accompany Timothy Li upstairs, he and Xuan Erniu and Xuan Sanniu waited downstairs, Xuan Yuemeng sat in the car, Xuan Erniu and Xuan Sanniu sat in the position of catching the car, and the other stood outside the car window to stay vigilant, these are all required by Xuan Yuemeng, although the concession is more peaceful than the outside, but since the accident in Wu Jiaban, Xuan Yuemeng's vigilance has increased a lot, and he is very worried that Zhilin and Xuan Hongbo will attack him.Although Zhilin has not been in contact with Xuan Yuemeng, Xuan Yuemeng is full of fear of this person, many fears are like this, directly in front of him, but he is not afraid, I don't know when he will come, that is the most terrifying.The reason why Xuan Yuemeng thought of making a fuss about buying land was that he was not optimistic about winning the contract of Beiyang Yamen, and in the face of such a strong opponent as Hurd and Zhilin, whether it was Hua or Yang, Klinsmann was just a little ant.Timothy Lee took a long time to come down.Xuan Yuemeng: "How about the discussion" Timothy Lee: "I didn't expect that Mr.
Williams, the American consul, really talked to me about buying land, and he said that he wanted to ask the United States about the meaning, I tested his tone, and he said that in his heart, this land will cost at least five million taels of Chinese official silver, and it will always belong to the territory of the United States." ”Xuan Yuemeng said with a smile, "He really dares to say that he has forgotten whose country he is in on the territory of the United States, but what you tell me reflects at least two messages, first, the Americans do not attach much importance to the American concession, and already have the idea of letting other countries develop land, and second, the United States currently has a good relationship with Germany, or is willing to develop relations with Germany, so we must quickly contact the German Consulate and reflect our thoughts, you can send a telegram to the German Consulate now, and make things clear, We asked the German Consulate to help us communicate with the U.S.
Consulate, and our offer was 500,000 taels of Chinese official silver.In addition, in order to strive for victory in the Franco-Prussian War, we at Klinsmann & Co. hosted a celebration of the victory of the Franco-Prussian War in the German business community in the Qing Dynasty. ”Timothy Li was sweating wildly, people had just quoted five million Chinese official silver, and you had reached 500,000 Chinese official silver at once, and besides, could you get 500,000 Chinese official silver But Timothy Li still immediately did as Xuan Yuemeng wanted.Timothy Lee now finds that he doesn't like to work with Xuan Yuemeng, because the two of them have too many deviations, and Timothy Li feels that Xuan Yuemeng is a delusional person, which is too unrealistic.t1706231537:
