The two sides are arguing.Xuan Yuemeng smiled slightly, and did not speak, Li Hongzhang held Xuan Yuemeng in his arms, an old man and a young man, as if he was watching a monkey.In the end, the two reached an agreement to jointly contribute, with 50 percent or 5 million taels each.Timothy Li quit, insisted on 20 million taels and then became Timothy Li alone and a large number of foreigners quarreled Xuan Yuemeng waved his hand, "Since you have all said that 20 million taels of Chinese official silver, you are definitely not willing to take it out, 5 million taels is too little, and my partner Mr.
Timothy Li will definitely not accept it, and I don't want to spoil the relationship with you international bigwigs, so let's take a step back 5 million taels plus 20 million taels, it will be 25 million taels, If you divide it by two, it will be 12.5 million taels, we will suffer a loss, 500,000 taels will not be directly don't want it to be refreshing enough to be sincere enough not 12 million taels" The foreigners blew up again, discussed with each other, and debated with Xuan Yuemeng, and it became a situation of besieging Timothy Li again, 12 million taels Xuan Yuemeng cut off 8 million taels at once, Timothy Li couldn't accept it, and the foreigners couldn't accept it, Xuan Yuemeng smiled: " Do you not have this strength or do you not have this strength, I have said that we Klinsmann Foreign Firm continue to contract, everything is fine, everything is fine, there is nothing to do, you have to come to teach, and then you can't come up with the money, hum, in the business field, you still have to speak with strength" Hurd said coldly: "Mr.
Yuemeng, you don't want to sell cheaply, how much money do you have to make so much money for nothing" Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Ah, Mr.
Hurd, there is a problem with what you said, I never thought of making money for nothing, you have so many people here today, let me ask, among you, is one of us Klinsmann Foreign Firm, or was it invited by the Beiyang Yamen, are you stuck here by yourself and refuse to leave" Xuan Yuemeng's words blocked Hurd's mouth.Anyway, Hurd had learned Xuan Yuemeng's mouth many times, and knew that he couldn't talk about him, so he simply didn't speak.It was still the two people who were in charge, Date Jongseong and McMarfoy.Xuan Yuemeng smiled slightly, "I still have a way, I really can't listen to you anymore, no matter how noisy you are, I will fall asleep." ”Hirofumi Ito: "Yue Meng-san, please speak." ”Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Roll the dice" Everyone sweated profusely, but immediately understood.Xuan Yuemeng said with a smile: "Everyone is a smart person, and so many people are people with status, let's roll the dice to decide, 12 million taels, exactly two six-point dice, how much is how much is rolled, less, we Klinsmann is unlucky, more, we Klinsmann are stained with everyone's joy, how about it" This method is indeed fair.Timothy Li was too angry, he felt very unfair, "Mr.
Yuemeng, in this case, for our Klinsmann foreign firm, it is very unfair, they only pay 12 million taels at most, only need to pay 2 million taels, this is too unfair, I can't accept it" Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Alas, I said in a hurry, because I didn't think about it enough, in this case, it is indeed not fair enough, my partner even thinks that 12 million taels of Chinese official silver is less, how can he accept 2 million taels, it doesn't count, Everybody, I didn't say anything just now. ”Zhilin said loudly: "No, no, Master Meng, everyone heard what you just said, I think this idea is good, you have to talk about credit, how can you go back on your word, you are the youngest talent in the Qing Dynasty, isn't it a credit to learn" Timothy Li said angrily: "This is not a matter of not trusting, it is because Mr.
Yuemeng didn't understand just now, who would throw his silver into the water in vain" Zhilin sneered: "Mr.
Timothy Li, But Master Meng's words have already been spoken, and we have all heard them. ”Hurd also came out to speak, "Yes, we all heard it, and I also think that the method proposed by Mr.
Yue Meng is very fair, I think it's just done, in this way, you still have a chance to get 12 million taels of Chinese official silver, Mr.
Timothy Li, you don't want to be unpopular and swallow elephants, this is a Chinese proverb, do you know, now China doesn't have 12 million taels of official silver in taxes a year, how much more do you want to earn" Timothy Li almost went crazy, and shouted loudly to Young Master Meng, "Mr.
Yue Meng." , If you say something, just say that you just said it wrong, I really don't know what you think, how can you offer such a low price, if the sum of the number of dice they roll is only two points, wouldn't it be to sell such a good mine for two million taels of Chinese official silver, then we will lose to death" Young Master Meng hurriedly pretended to cry, "Big brothers, I was wrong just now, I said it wrong, it doesn't count just now, at least three dice, this is fair, in this case, You can still have the opportunity to buy the mine and the power plant at a low price of three million taels of Chinese official silver" Everyone was anxious when they heard this, and they made too much noise around Young Master Meng and Timo Li, so that Young Master Meng must keep his credit.Young Master Meng had a bitter face and looked at Timothy Li, "Mr.
Timothy Li, I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue just now, now you see what to do" Timothy Li was too anxious to cry, "Mr.
Yuemeng, it's not the first time you have made a slip of the tongue, the first time you made a slip of the tongue, you have subtracted eight million taels at once, even if it is one thousand two million taels of Chinese official silver, I can't accept it, this is simply too little, and now it has suddenly become that they may buy it for two million taels, this price, I will never agree to it" McMarfoy is also anxious," We agreed to do what Master Meng said, if the Japanese don't dare to buy it, we Xingtai Xing and the foreign family will buy it" Date Sojo was also anxious after listening to Hirofumi Ito's translation of McMarford's words, "Who said that we didn't promise that the Great Japanese Empire also has the strength to participate in the dice rolling" That's it, from the beginning of the rush to say the price, and now to rush to do this business with Master Meng, Master Meng forced his face hard, and looked at Timothy Li to apologize: "Mr.
Timothy Lee, I'm sorry, it's all my slip of the tongue, Now you see, what should I do" Timothy Lee stomped his feet while crying, "Mr.
Yuemeng, alas, you know, all of a sudden there are millions of taels missing, and six million taels is equivalent to what the concept is, you are really I don't know what to say." ”When the crowd saw Timothy Lee beating his chest and crying, their desire to buy it became even stronger, and they turned to comfort Timothy Lee.It seems that they bought Young Master Meng's mine and power plant, as if they took a big advantage.Young Master Meng also cried, "Mr.
Timothy Lee, I'm really sorry, I was wrong." ”Timothy Lee cried for a while and sighed, "Mr.
Yuemeng, don't cry, forget it, forget it, just promise them." ”When everyone saw that Timothy Lee was too relieved, they were overjoyed.The next problem was that both the Japanese and the British wanted to eat the mine, and the two sides were arguing over the shareholding.McMaof: "We have to have more than 50 percent equity" Date Sojo objected through Hirobumi Ito, "No, we have to have more than 50 percent equity." ”Just now, everyone was arguing with Timothy Lee, but now it has become their own quarrel.Master Meng smiled: "This question is not simple, don't you each take a dice, and how much you throw is how much, use the number you voted, remove twelve, isn't it the proportion of equity that should be accounted for, it's all up to luck, isn't this fair?"
Date Sojo, Ito Hirobumi and Hurd, McMarof, Wittoma and others discussed for a long time, and everyone agreed to do so, and the Japanese and the British each rolled a dice, and each family contributed as much as they rolled, and the shares were determined according to the amount of money they paid.In this way, everyone felt that it was fair, and it also resolved the disagreement between the British and the Japanese about the proportion of shares.If it is unfortunate that the dice roll is relatively large, the other party thinks that it can account for more of the shares, and it will not be too disappointed After the two discussed it, Ito Hirofumi said to Xuan Yuemeng: "Yuemengsang, we have discussed" Xuan Yuemeng smiled and nodded, "Did you bring a silver ticket This is not a joke, so many people with status are present."
The two of you, each have six million taels" They don't have so much cash, and they only prepared five million taels today, and these five million taels were only collected by contacting several merchants, and the Japanese even borrowed loans from many foreign banks, so they barely managed to get together five million taels.Neither of them can take it out.Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "There is no way, I also want to help you, you don't have this strength yourself, I'm sorry, this mine and power plant, it's still contracted by our Klinsmann Foreign Company, Lord Li Zhongtang, what do you say" Li Hongzhang also stood up and nodded, "Yes, gentlemen foreigners, I saw it with my own eyes this time, Klinsmann Foreign Company is sincere, your own capital is insufficient, I think it's better to forget it" McMarford was angry and said loudly: "No, We can borrow money on the spot" Date Zongcheng also nodded, "We can also borrow on the spot, I can use the credibility of our Japanese government as collateral" Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "You Japan is a small country, I'm afraid your credibility is not worth a million taels of Chinese official silver, let's wait for you to borrow it, hehe." ”Ito Hirofumi translated Xuan Yuemeng's words to Date Sojo After hearing about it, Date Sojo and Yanagihara Maemitsu and other high-ranking officials of the Japanese mission almost didn't go crazy, and immediately borrowed money from foreign businessmen, and the foreign businessmen present today are very powerful, and many foreign banks have done business in Japan and North Korea, and they are not afraid that they will not pay it back.The dice were inspected by everyone on the spot, there were no magnets, they were all expensive dice made of ivory, Date Sojo and McMarfoy were holding two bowls upside down, one of which was a small dice.The two people were sweating profusely shaking the dice, and their mouths were reciting the words "little by little, little by little", "little by little, little by little", Timothy Lee clenched his fists and shouted loudly, "Six six o'clock, six o'clock, two six o'clock, two six o'clock, t1706231537:
