Zhao Qingluo looked at Xuan Yuemeng suspiciously, "Just tell me, where did you get the money, to set up a steamship company, I see that the investment plan you listed, at least six million taels of silver, we can't even take out six thousand taels now, where are you going to get six million taels of silver" Timothy Li's expression was funny, "Mr.
Yuemeng, I will never say it, don't you still believe me, you tell me, did our coal mine really find gold, I went to the coal mine just now, why did you let the people of the American patrol change the original guards of the coal mine, Can a coal mine use dozens of patrols to guard the gate, I thought that there was a huge amount of money of two million taels at once, and I don't know where it came from, I'm going crazy, do you know" Young Master Meng frowned, "You told others about the two million taels of silver, and we suddenly had two million taels of silver in our account" Timothy Li shook his head, "I didn't say it." ”Zhao Qingluo also said: "I didn't say it either. ”Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "This is our top secret now, and it will also be a company's financial system in the future, which is the core of this company, the company is to make money, and making money is inseparable from the financial system The company's accounts must not be known." ”Timothy Li and Zhao Qingluo saw that Young Master Meng was serious, and they hurriedly said that Young Master Meng was smiling all day long, but when he spoke normally, the weight would automatically increase.Xuan Yuemeng said with a smile: "I see that the people of the Canal Gang have been making too much trouble recently, and they are worried that they will be unfavorable to our coal mines, which is called increased vigilance measures, if the gold mine is really discovered, what am I still sitting here to do Mr.
Timothy Li, you should start preparing for the steamship company now, contact the shipyard in Germany, let them start quoting, I want to order a hundred cargo ships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons." ”Timothy Li was surprised: "A hundred freighters with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, God, how much does this cost, Mr.
Yuemeng, did your money fall from the sky" Zhao Qingluo was a little unhappy, "Mr.
Timothy Li, forget it, let's not ask, he doesn't want to say it."
Don't you know what he doesn't want to say, no one can ask. ”Timothy Li nodded, "Okay, I won't ask, it's good to keep this kind of thing secret, it's just, Mr.
Yuemeng, don't you trust me" Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Mr.
Timothy Li, how can I not trust you, don't be too careful, hurry up and prepare for the construction of the wharf and the steamship company, and the sales of commercial land in the American Concession should also be fastened Also, Klinsmann & Co. must also refute rumors internally, don't let people spread the rumors that the coal mine has discovered a gold mine." ”Timothy Lee shook his head, "I'm really confused, whether there is a gold mine or not, okay, I'll go and prepare for the construction of the wharf and the steamship company, as well as the sale of commercial land in the American Concession and the rumors within Klinsmann & Co."
Alas, I'm really confused by you. ”The foreigners were all red-eyed, and the people inside Klinsmann's foreign company were confused, and this incident finally alarmed the imperial court and the queen mother of the two palaces.Cixi instructed Li Hongzhang to find out whether gold had been found in the coal mine contracted by Klinsmann & Co.Li Hongzhang also had to come forward to refute the rumors, saying that the coal mine contracted by Klinsmann & Co. did not find gold.Hurd, of course, didn't believe it, and clamored to go to the coal mine contracted by Klinsmann & Co. to check it out.Li Hongzhang: "Don't you even believe the words of the headquarters, the headquarters has personally checked it, and there is indeed no gold mine."
In addition, Klinsmann & Co. agreed to return the power plant and the mining rights of the coal mine to Beiyang Yamen. ”Zhilin Qi said: "How much does he ask for this?"
Li Hongzhang: "Five million taels." ”Zhilin smiled, "Lord Zhongtang, five million taels, if you don't find a gold mine, what mine can be worth five million taels Ah you hurry up and take back this coal mine, let's get you to pack it for me ourselves, I'll do it" Li Hongzhang shook his head, "I did go to see it, I did want Yuemeng to say, no gold mine was found, and moreover, we signed a contract with Klinsmann & Co., they have mining rights, on the condition that all the coal mines will be used for power plants, or provided to Beiyang Yamen, and cannot be sold to the outside world, and they have not violated the contract now, How can we take back other people's mines, you can do it, you can pay these five million taels" Zhilin stopped talking.McMarfoy's eyes rolled and whispered to Hurd beside him.Hurd asked: "Lord Li Zhongtang, what you just said is that as long as you can give five million taels to Klinsmann & Co., you can subcontract this coal mine, is this thing true?"
Zhilin: "Mr.
Hurd, what are you talking about, this matter is the first thing I knew about subcontracting, and it is also the priority of us." ”Hurd smiled: "Mr.
Zhilin, do you have five million taels" Zhilin: "Hey, what you said, I didn't, you do, I don't know if you want to find someone to partner" Hurd said to Li Hongzhang: "Lord Li Zhongtang, this coal mine plus the power plant, no matter how you calculate, is not worth 500,000 taels, how can you promise five million taels If there is really a gold mine" Li Hongzhang: "The headquarters was very annoyed by this matter, the headquarters said one last time, the headquarters has been to check, it is true that no gold mines have been found, if you want to subcontract coal mines and power plants, I paid 5 million taels to Klinsmann & Co., and whoever did it would do it, and I had also seen the American Concession, and it was indeed very convenient to use electricity. ”Hurd snorted, "Lord Li Zhongtang, I know that you have a good relationship with Xuan Yuemeng of Klinsmann Foreign Company, you like this child very much, you are not favoring Klinsmann Foreign Company" Li Hongzhang sighed, "Anyway, I have said everything, believe it or not, whatever you want, Xuan Yuemeng said so to the headquarters anyway, as long as Beiyang Yamen buys back five million, they Klinsmann Foreign Company is willing to hand over the coal mine and power plant to Beiyang Yamen."
My Beiyang Yamen doesn't have so much energy to do this, whether it's five million taels or fifty million taels, it has nothing to do with the Beiyang Yamen, whoever generates electricity is the same, anyway, we can't use so much coal a year, and our coal is supplied free of charge by Klinsmann & Co. ”Hurd and a group of foreign businessmen, seeing Li Hongzhang back and forth are just a few words, and they reluctantly returned.McMarford: "If there is really a gold mine, according to the minimum reserves of a gold mine, it can be converted into at least 10 million taels of silver, 5 million taels, not much, I don't know, whether this coal mine really has gold or fake gold mines, if there are copper mines, it is more objective." ”Hurd nodded, "Yes, Klinsmann is very arrogant, and now he has sent a large number of people from the US Patrol to guard it, so he can't enter this coal mine at all, and we didn't think of finding someone to get into."
If you see gold ore with your own eyes, 5 million is 5 million, you can contact several foreign companies and work together to subcontract this coal mine and power plant. ”McMarfoy nodded and said, "Yes, although five million taels is a lot, we can eat this business if we Xingtai Xing Foreign Firm, and then unite two or three British foreign firms." ”The British, the French, were hesitating.Ito Hirobumi has already turned around in a hurry, spending 800,000 taels to form an anti-Klinsmann alliance, and has not yet killed Klinsmann, and now another gold mine has emerged.What makes Ito Hirobumi and Date Sojo, Yanagihara Maezitsu and others even more headache is that Xuan Yuemeng is still leading the Sino-Japanese negotiations, and Xuan Yuemeng's attitude is even tougher, and some of the terms can be negotiated again, but now Xuan Yuemeng has made Chen Qin make the final attitude, all the terms have been set, and all must be in accordance with the Chinese side, otherwise, they will no longer negotiate and ask the Japanese mission to leave, which is to drive them away.Ito Hirobumi: "Zhilin-san, you took so much money from me, can't you give a letter in this coal mine, is there a gold mine and a copper mine, if there are one mine, if there are three mines at the same time, it is really terrible, this is simply a cornucopia, Xuan Yuemeng is holding such a cornucopia, who can fight him" t1706231537:
