Zhilin said: "That's fast, I'm afraid that if it takes a long time, the British will contract the mine I heard that McMarfoy's Xingtai Xing Foreign Company has contacted two British foreign companies, and plans to join forces with the three to contract the mine and power plant" Date Zongcheng frowned, "No hurry, no hurry, no hurry, at this moment, we must find out whether this ore contains gold and brass, what is the content and how good is such a big thing, I believe that the British will not decide easily, you know, This is a big business of five million taels of Chinese official silver" Yanagihara Maemitsu nodded and said: "Hi Ito Hirofumi-kun, you immediately ask someone to charter a boat to Shanghai, and then send a telegram back, I believe you will know the result within five days." ”Ito Hirobumi gave a big bow, "Hi" Date Sojo After Ito Hirofumi left, he asked Yanagihara Maemitsu, "Do you think, could this be a trap There is really such a coincidence, and gold can be found in the coal mine" Yanagihara Maemitsu nodded and said: "Anything can happen, Lord Date Sojo, let's not worry, the initiative is still in our hands, wait and see."
However, there is no problem in making this preparation first. ”Date Sojo agreed with Yanagihara Maehimitsu's opinion, and the two of them had been together for a long time, and they both felt that this opportunity should continue to be paid attention to.McMarfoy and Hurd also repeatedly discussed with each other, and they spent no less thought than the Japanese, McTMafoy is a China expert, and he has been in China even longer than Hurd, and McTMafoy will not allow such a good opportunity to slip under his nose.If it was just a mine, they would not be so fighting for the head of the blood, the most important thing is that this was originally a coal mine, and the Qing government agreed to let the Beiyang Yamen cooperate with the outside world in the form of official supervision and foreign management.The Japanese and the British had to rush to buy Xuan, so the mine contracted by Klinsmann & Co. was not an ordinary mine.Yuemeng's mine and power plant made Timothy Lee as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.Timothy Lee: "Mr.
Yuemeng, do you really want to fulfill your promise to Li Hongzhang My God, are you crazy, Mr.
Yuemeng, I really don't know what you think." ”Xuan Yuemeng shook her head, "It's not a matter of promise, it's that I've already signed a contract with Lord Li Hongzhang Zhongtang, if they can take out five million taels, I can't do anything." ”Timothy Li held his head, his expression was very anxious, "Mr.
Yuemeng, aren't you a very shrewd person, why are you so confused this time?"
Do you know what the concept of a gold mine is, I really can't believe it, someone will throw the gold mountain in their hands outside" Zhao Qingluo heard Timothy Li and Xuan Yuemeng shouting again, and hurriedly came over, "Mr.
Timothy Li, since Yuemeng has already signed a contract with the Beiyang Yamen, it will be too late to say anything" Timothy Li shook his head, "It's not too late, Mr.
Yuemeng, If you are embarrassed to go to the Beiyang Yamen, I can go to Li Hongzhang for you now, and I will put pressure on him in the name of the German government, asking us Klinsmann & Co. to continue to contract mines and power plants, and I believe that they dare not do anything to us" Xuan Yuemeng said lightly: "Mr.
Timothy Li, if you really want to do this, I will not oppose it, nor will I approve, my face is not important, but Lord Li Hongzhang will definitely ignore you, you don't need to touch this nail." ”Timothy Lee said excitedly: "Mr.
Yuemeng, even if this is a nail, I will touch it, as a member of Klinsmann's foreign company, I can't watch you go the wrong way this time, and treat it as if I didn't see it." ”Xuan Yuemeng sighed, "Mr.
Timothy Li, please let me be quiet, you have been telling me about the mine every day for the past few days, and I don't dare to come to the foreign bank to work." ”Timothy Li nodded, "Okay, Mr.
Yuemeng, as long as you don't object, I'll go to Beiyang Yamen now, I'll go to Lord Li Hongzhang, if he dares to ignore me, I'll go to Beijing to find the German consul, don't worry, I will definitely keep the mine." ”Xuan Yuemeng covered her head and waved her hand, "Mr.
Timothy Lee, I'll do whatever you want, you let me be quiet, don't come to me again these days, do what you like, you can do it." ”Timothy Li sighed, "Mr.
Yuemeng, you are like this, it makes me very cold, I am anxious for our Klinsmann Foreign Company, you seem to be making trouble unreasonably" Xuan Yuemeng said: "The key is that I have already made a contract with the Beiyang Yamen, if you think the price is a problem, I think it is best for you to talk to the Beiyang Yamen on the price" Timothy Li is like a Daigo empowerment, "Yes, yes, the things that are set are good, it is not good to regret them casually, yes, I will raise the price again, so that they can't afford it at all, They will retreat in the face of difficulties" Xuan Yuemeng clasped her hands together, "Okay, Mr.
Timothy Lee, I am going to take a small vacation for the past ten days, please don't come to tell me about the mine again." ”Timothy Lee smiled: "Okay, whether you can keep the mine this time, anyway, in the future, we Klinsmann will be for a long time, don't worry about money, Mr.
Yuemeng, you can rest for a while." ”Xuan Yuemeng continued to fold her hands, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr.
Timothy Lee." ”Catherine came in, "The atmosphere is very good today, just to say it well, Timothy Lee, if you are loud to Mr.
Yuemeng in the future, I will divorce you." ”Timothy Lee was taken aback, although she knew that her wife was joking, but it was the first time she heard Catherine talk to her about divorce, "Honey, you can't say this kind of thing casually, it's very hurtful, I may be busy these days, I'm sorry, after the matter of the mine is resolved, I will definitely accompany you more." ”Timothy Li left in a hurry after speaking, and Catherine pulled Zhao Qingluo to speak, they were already able to communicate simply, the two languages were mixed together, which made Xuan Yuemeng feel very interesting to listen to, and at the same time, he himself could learn more foreign languages.Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Okay, let's talk, I'm going home to sleep for a few days, and I should live the life of a one-year-old child." ”Catherine blinked, "Mr.
Yuemeng, otherwise, if I move to live with you these days, I will take care of you for a few days, and let Sophia also live in a Chinese house for a few days, what do you think" Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Welcome, this is no problem, but aren't you going to accompany Miss Qingluo" Catherine touched her plump chest, "Yes, I almost forgot, I still have to accompany Miss Qingluo" Zhao Qingluo said sourly, "I don't need to be accompanied, I can be alone, Mrs.
Catherine, if you want to go to the open garden to play, You just go for it. ”Catherine smiled and scratched Zhao Qingluo's nose, and smiled at Xuan Yuemeng: "Mr.
Yuemeng, you see, Miss Qingluo doesn't seem to like me being so affectionate with you, I'm too jealous" Xuan Yuemeng lay on the table and said with a smile: "Yes, I didn't see it" Zhao Qingluo snorted lightly and took Catherine's hand, "Lady Catherine, don't make such jokes."
Yuemeng, if you really want to rest for a few days, you can go and rest, I can hold on, I really don't understand, I'll go to you again. ”Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "Okay, I'll go back to the open garden first, and I really should rest" Xuan Yuemeng In the next few days, she was really in the open garden, and she didn't come out a single step, she ate and slept all day long, and she slept and ate, Xu Xiangzhi was very surprised to see Yuemeng so honest and didn't run out, "Yuemeng, what's wrong with you not studying, and you don't go to foreign shops, it's rare" Xuan Yuemeng spread out her hands and lay on the pillow, "I'm a one-year-old child, I should have been like this, what's so strange about which one-year-old child reads every day, Every day when I go to work, I just have to live a foolish life, my eldest brother is stupid, I have to be stupid too" Xu Xiangzhi was startled, leaned down, and touched Xuan Yuemeng's brain, "It's not hot, why don't you be scary when you talk about this kind of thing." ”Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "From now on, I am a real one-year-old child, I don't know anything."
Needless to say, I'm going to sleep a little longer. ”Xuan Yuemeng's heart is actually very anxious, the foreign bank has reached the most critical time, in another seven or eight days, if the matter is not settled, if there is no money to pay the workers wages, there will be a big incident, he now has tens of thousands of workers Timothy Li is in good spirits these days, while sending someone to pick up the German consul to Tianjin, while grinding Li Hongzhang to increase the price.Li Hongzhang: "20 million Mr.
Timothy Li, your total investment in mines and power plants is said to be less than 500,000 official silver, how is it possible that you want 20 million official silver now?"
Timothy Li: "It is 20 million, otherwise, please continue to fulfill the contract signed with us Klinsmann & Co." ”Li Hongzhang shook his head, "This is absolutely impossible, the headquarters and Yue Meng have already negotiated, that is, five million taels of silver, as long as whoever can contribute this money, who can resell the contract for mines and power plants, the headquarters and Yue Meng have already re-signed a contract." ”Timothy Lee stood up, "Lord Zhongtang, I am the boss of Klinsmann & Co., Mr.
Yuemeng can't replace me, I said 20 million, that is, 20 million I asked the German consul to come forward, he will be there soon, if you don't agree, you will continue to contract mines and power plants by our Klinsmann & Co., I won't let you take a step" Timothy Lee has been making trouble here for several days, forcing Li Hongzhang very uncomfortable, Timothy Li is like a thick-skinned plaster sticking to Li Hongzhang.t1706231537:
