Xuan Yuemeng looked at Zhao Qingluo with a smile, happy for Zhao Qingluo's uneven demeanor, which showed that she already cared a little about him.Xuan Yuemeng grinned: "Qingluo, I just knew that you cared about me so much" Zhao Qingluo's face flushed, listening to such a big person calling her maiden name, it was still awkward: "Didn't I tell you that day, you can only call me sister-in-law, why did you call me Qingluo again in front of so many people just now" Xuan Yuemeng pillowed her head on Zhao Qingluo's plump chest, "Qingluo, don't make noise, I squinted for a while, a little sleepy." ”Zhao Qingluo didn't have anything to do with Xuan Yuemeng, she gently nodded on Xuan Yuemeng's head, looking at Xuan Yuemeng, who said that she could fall asleep, and didn't know what she was thinking, one hand held Xuan Yuemeng's head, one hand supported Xuan Yuemeng's waist, and gently chanted a little song.The American Concession and the British Concession are next to each other, and they arrived in no moment, but Xuan Yuemeng actually fell asleep, and after asking Zhao Qingluo, Xuan Zhao didn't know where Xuan Yuemeng was going to see, Xuan Yuemeng just said that he wanted to see the construction progress of the American Concession, so he had to let the luxury carriage stop at the gate of the concession.Timothy Lee and Loew were at the scene, saw Xuan Yuemeng's carriage, and let Loew drive over with him, now Klinsmann has a three-trailer carriage, plus Xuan Yuemeng bought a luxury carriage for Xuan Huang's family, Xuan Yuemeng recently bought four of his own cars, Xuan Huang's one, two cars are now the most expensive and luxurious carriages in Tianjin, the following is Timothy Lee, and Loew's carriage is at the same level as the consul of the British Consulate, Loew's carriage is relatively ordinaryHowever, it is very rare for the deputy manager of a foreign bank to have a special car.Timothy Lee got out of the car and saw Xuan Yuemeng in the car sleeping in the arms of a young and beautiful woman, so he didn't call him.He smiled vigorously and said: "The young master is still too young, he is sleepy when he says he is sleepy, and he will wake up every time he sleeps for half an hour."
Mr.
Timothy Lee, your progress is very fast, the landscape door at the entrance of the American Concession has been completed," Timothy Lee smiled and sighed, "The price of this door is more expensive than a villa, this is a perfect combination of Western craftsmanship and Eastern craftsmanship."
The carved beams and paintings are made of the best stone and wood, and I have been to Beijing, and the royal gardens in Beijing are not so extravagant. ”Although it was not very standard for Xuan Zhao to listen to Timothy Lee's Chinese, she could understand it all.Listening to Timothy Lee and Dali's conversation, I felt curious, and I couldn't help but look at the large landscape door by the car window.Xuan Zhao and Xuan Yuemeng went out of the door today, and the shock was indeed not small, Xuan Yuemeng didn't say anything, even her understanding of a group of house slaves with Dali and Xuan Yuemeng has changed greatly, when she was in the Xuan family's old house, Xuan Zhao didn't find that these people seemed to be very capable after they came out.Originally, in Zhao Qingluo's impression, Xuan Dali was just an honest man and the son of a gatekeeper.The American Concession welcomes you to six huge men who are regular scripts.Below is a row of foreign characters, and the characters are also inlaid with gold edges.Xuan Zhao pursed her lips and smiled, she had seen Xuan Yuemeng draw at home and design this gate, and knew that these must be Xuan Yuemeng's ideas, which were indeed very atmospheric, trendy, and luxurious.Nodding vigorously, "Mr.
Timothy Lee, this is already going soon."
There is no difficulty in catching up with the progress of the project formulated by Young Master Meng, this month, the frame of the patrol house in the US Concession should be built first, and the patrol should be allowed to live in it before the year, and everyone in the province lives in the shed. ”Timothy Lee shook her head, "It's hard to finish."
Although the Beiyang Yamen sent some people to help us, they were also very short of manpower, and I got the news that the people of the Tianjin Canal Gang were spreading the news everywhere that if anyone dared to come to our American Concession to work, they would be against their Tianjin Canal Gang. ”Xuan Dali was shocked.This is very bad news, no wonder Zhilin just said that Klinsmann is going to be unable to play it, this is the bottom of the kettle, if there is no one to help, such a big project, when will it be completed and the progress of the construction period, there is no way to link it with the sales plan formulated by the young master, which affects sales, this is dangerous, needless to say, when the time comes, it will not be able to pay the land payment in the American concession, and then Xuan Dali will not dare to think about it anymore, except for the two young masters Meng and Timothy Lee, Xuan Dali is the only one who knows the details of Klinsmann's foreign business.Timothy Li saw the anxiety on Xuan Dali's face, and also sighed, he is a China expert, of course he knows how powerful the Tianjin Canal Gang is, the first gang in the entire Jiangbei, the black side of both sides have to give face, offending such a powerful civil force, it is useless to have the support of the German Consulate and the American Consulate."
The only way to do this is to spend a lot of money to recruit workers in other places as soon as possible, but far water can't save the fire."
Xuan Yuemeng has woken up, and heard the two people talking about the Tianjin Canal Gang, he all understood, the history of Tianjin's opening of the port is not short, it has always been used the three-way wharf, and the old Tianjin city center of gravity is also over there, and when his American concession wharf is built, whether it is in management or geographical location, or in terms of hardware facilities, it is bound to squeeze the three-way wharf into no conditions for survival, this is cutting off people's financial road Ah Xuan Yuemeng knows that people want to do it with themselves, which is also understandable.
However, Xuan Yuemeng thought that if he had money, he would be able to hire people, and besides, he had already built the team of the American Capture House to more than 100 people, and he was not afraid that someone would come to make trouble, but he didn't expect that the Tianjin Canal Gang was so powerful that the workers would not dare to come to the American concession to help.Xuan Yuemeng lowered Xuan Zhao's thigh with a solemn expression, sat on the sofa, leaned deeply on the backrest, and wanted to think alone for a while.Xuan Dali, Timothy Lee, and Loew, all saw Young Master Meng sitting up, sitting alone next to Xuan Zhao's side and distracted, everyone didn't speak, knowing that he was thinking about things.Anyway, when everyone has something that can't be solved, in the end, they can only rely on the wisdom of Young Master Meng to solve it, and they are all a little dependent.Xuan Yuemeng couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, at this time to find Li Hongzhang will definitely not solve any problems, Li Hongzhang's manpower is also very tight, Xuan Yuemeng knows that although Li Hongzhang is the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, the power of the entire Zhili, and even most of China, but it is impossible for the Qing court not to be suspicious of Li Hongzhang, otherwise the Huai army's strength to defend Jinggi will not be 20,000 people, Li Hongzhang's Huai army is now busy dredging the river everywhere.Together with the Ministry of Industry to build various important military facilities, but also to expand the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, Li Hongzhang's few people, he is not enough.How can he spare manpower to help Klinsmann Besides, it is unlikely that Li Hongzhang will directly send troops to help him, which involves too many areas.Xuan Yuemeng got out of the carriage and admired the landscape gate at the entrance of the American Concession, "Not bad."
Magnificent, nice atmosphere. ”Timothy Li smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that it's just a door that has been repaired, and there are a large area of potholes inside, if it goes on like this, how can the land of the third phase be sold" Xuan Yuemeng glanced at a large construction site that was still full of potholes.Xuan Yuemeng knew that Timothy Lee was going to talk about manpower, and as soon as she raised her hand, she interrupted Timothy Lee's words, "Mr.
Timothy Lee, you were talking just now.I've heard it all, it's not easy to solve the manpower matter, just do it according to your wishes, and now you can start to do the matter of recruiting workers from other places. ”Timothy Li looked at Xuan Yuemeng in surprise, he didn't expect Young Master Meng to do what he wanted so happily this time, every time he proposed something, Young Master Meng always had other ways.Timothy Li pulled Xuan Yuemeng aside and said softly, "Mr.
Yuemeng, our funds have run out."
If you don't have that much money, it's going to be very cost-effective, you see.Is it possible to think of a way to talk to them about the Tianjin Canal Gang" Xuan Yuemeng sighed, "Yes, you can go and talk to them" Timothy Li was so anxious that he almost jumped to his feet, "Mr.
Yuemeng, you really don't understand or pretend to be confused, it's their ghost."
Let's talk about what's the use, can we think of ideas to let the Beiyang Yamen put pressure on the Tianjin Canal Gang, I see that you are not very familiar with Lord Li Hongzhang, don't they all say that the bandit family, these gangs in the rivers and lakes, dare not give face to the Yamen" Xuan Yuemeng looked at Timothy Li, and secretly said that Timothy Li is indeed a China expert, and he has more and more research on China's national conditions, this is indeed a way, but he still shook his head, "It's difficult, you think, the cooperation between the Beiyang Yamen and our Klinsmann Foreign Bank, All the newspapers have reported it, how can they not know that the Tianjin Canal Gang knows that we have a relationship with the Beiyang Yamen, and dare to do so, obviously, they are not afraid of the Beiyang Yamen, they eat the rice of the wharf, they eat the rice of Caoyun, and their jobs are about to be snatched away by us, what are you discussing with others at this time" Timothy Li nodded gloomily, it seemed that he was thinking simply, "But, what should I do now, Mr.
Yuemeng, if it goes on like this, I can't cry, I woke up yesterday in a dream that there were no workers to work with.If this continues, we Klinsmann & Co. will not survive this month, and once the construction site is completely stopped, the consequences will be unimaginable.Now there are still hundreds of handymen who have come to Tianjin from other places to beg for a living, they are not from the Zhili area, they are not afraid of the power of the Tianjin Canal Gang, and the locals in the other Zhili areas do not dare to come to our construction site to work again. ”Xuan Yuemeng sighed and smiled bitterly, "Mr.
Timothy Li, it's useless to cry, please relax your heart, isn't it not that you haven't stopped working yet, pay more wages, let the workers work day and night, and then we will split up and think of a way."
It's a difficult thing to do, but when you look back after a few decades, maybe it's not a big deal, and since you want to do big business, these difficulties are normal. ”Timothy Li also smiled bitterly, "Mr.
Yuemeng, I really convinced you, you seem to be so calm at that time." ”Xuan Yuemeng knew that he was not calm, he really couldn't think of a way, everyone was pessimistic and crying, what is it that Timothy Li took Loew and other senior compradors, dispersed, Xuan Yuemeng took the carriage, walked around, and left the American concession.Xuan Zhao: "What did you talk to that foreigner about just now, and after talking for so long, are you still talking about not enough workers, is he your partner" Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "Yes." ”Xuan Yuemeng is not in the mood to speak now, he is thinking about how to solve the problem, he seems to have only two ways at present, it is definitely not possible to find people in other places, one is that there is not enough funds, and the other is that the far water can't save the near fire.He can either find a force that can suppress the Tianjin Canal Gang to help him, or use another gang rival to make them fight the Canal Gang.But the bigger force that Xuan Yuemeng thought of, in his own relationship map, could only be Li Hongzhang Li Zhongtang, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, he was very unsure.Looking for a bigger gang, the Tianjin Canal Gang is already the largest gang in the north, who else dares to fight with the Tianjin Canal Gang Xuan Zhao saw that Xuan Yuemeng was distracted, and suddenly felt that he was very useless, and nothing could help him, before the day when he went to the concession with Xuan Yuemeng, Xuan Yuemeng was just a complete child in Xuan Zhao's heart, but after going to the concession with Xuan Yuemeng once, especially when he saw so many foreigners in luxurious clothes in front of Xuan Yuemeng, everyone pushed Xuan Yuemeng's appearance, Everyone was waiting for Xuan Yuemeng to come up with an idea, and Xuan Yuemeng was now concentrating on things.Xuan Zhao suddenly felt that perhaps, he was not a child, even if he was not a real adult, at least, he was very capable.Xuan Yuemeng still didn't come up with any good way to come out in the end.Because this is a tiger skin, Xuan Yuemeng's last two methods are not used, Xuan Yuemeng let Xuan Zhao send him home, and when Xuan Zhao got off the car and went home, Xuan Yuemeng didn't even get out of the car.For Xuan Yuemeng, women are like clothes.Xuan Zhao was even slightly disappointed, and Xuan Yuemeng just left.Xuan Yuemeng: "Vigorously, this thing is not easy to do." ”Xuan Dali knew that Young Master Meng was talking about the Tianjin Canal Gang, "Young Master, you can say it, what should I do" Xuan Yuemeng sighed, "We built a wharf in the American Concession, it must have taken away the livelihood of others, and the reputation of the Tianjin Canal Gang is not bad, there is no less help for the poor, and it will definitely not be good to go against the Tianjin Canal Gang publicly, but we are also forced to a dead end now" Xuan Dali and Xuan Yuemeng were in the carriage, and Xuan Dali's eyes were covered with tears, This is the first time he has seen Young Master Meng so embarrassed t1706231537:
