Yanagihara Maemitsu sighed, "Lord Li Zhongtang, we in Japan were deceived in your country this time, and we ask Lord Li Zhongtang to uphold justice in this matter." ”Li Hongzhang smiled with his index finger, scratched the void in front of him, as if he was writing, and said with a smile: "Oh, what Minister Yanagihara Maeko is talking about, but I don't understand it at all, today is to celebrate the signing of a trade treaty between our two countries and the formal establishment of diplomatic relations." ”Yanagihara Qianguang said: "Lord Zhongtang, can you just let Klinsmann deceive us of six million taels of Chinese official silver, and our Lord Date Zongcheng died like this" Li Hongzhang smiled: "These things, I don't know, at the beginning, the headquarters has been clarified to the outside world, and it is clearly said that there is only a little coal mine in the mine, and there is nothing else, you just don't believe it, now that the business has been done, how can you let the headquarters help you in life, it's like a gamble, if you gamble, you have to be prepared to lose, don't gamble, Won't lose, hahaha. ”With Li Hongzhang's long smile, two or three sentences sent Yanagihara Qianguang, and Young Master Meng sincerely admired Li Hongzhang's knowledge and eloquence.Ito Hirobumi is a China expert, he won't be so stupid as Yanagihara Maemitsu, at this time, he still thinks about the money, where is there any lost money in the world, and then he wants to get it back?
Ito Hirobumi glanced at the young master Meng standing behind Li Hongzhang, and did not call him, but said to Li Hongzhang: "Lord Zhongtang, your Prime Minister Yamen has agreed to the establishment of an embassy in your country by our Imperial Japan, and I hope that Lord Li Zhongtang can facilitate it in Tianjin." ”Li Hongzhang nodded, "This is easy, on the edge of the British Concession, that row of streets is specially set aside for the embassies of various countries, you go and choose a vacant land to build, turn around, and let people come to Beiyang Yamen to report, you can do it." ”Xuan Yuemeng knew that the matter of the Japanese Legation in the Great Qing Kingdom was to keep abreast of the situation in the Great Qing Kingdom in the future and keep abreast of the military and political dynamics of the Great Qing Kingdom.Ito Hirofumi nodded, looked at Xuan Yuemeng behind Li Hongzhang and said: "We will build an embassy as soon as possible, there are still many places in my Japanese Empire that need Lord Li Zhongtang to take care of" Li Hongzhang looked back at Ito Hirofumi's gaze, and saw Xuan Yuemeng smiling, and pulled Xuan Yuemeng's little chubby paws, "Come here, what about Jingshou" Young Master Meng smiled: "She doesn't like to play here, I'll let people take her first." ”Li Hongzhang nodded, "Originally, I said that I wouldn't let her come, she had to play with you." ”Young Master Meng looked at Ito Hirofumi and said with a smile: "The Japanese Empire didn't catch a big fish this time, maybe, I still want to catch a big fish in our Qing Dynasty" Xuan Yuemeng This is reminding Li Hongzhang, how could Li Hongzhang not understand, it's just that Li Hongzhang didn't take the Japanese to heart, this attitude made Xuan Yuemeng very worried, and when he ate the big loss of the Japanese, it would be too late Although Young Master Meng didn't know which direction the Japanese would take the lead in attacking China, but he knew, No matter how you can't escape, North Korea and Taiwan are subject countries of the Qing Dynasty, and Taiwan is the territory of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang disagreed, and Young Master Meng had no choice.Hirofumi Ito: "Thank you, Lord Nakado. ”Xuan Yuemeng: "Lord Zhongtang, why do foreigners have consulates in my Qing Dynasty, let's also go to foreigners to get consulates" Li Hongzhang shook his head, smiled bitterly, sighed, and did not answer Young Master Meng's question.Young Master Meng also sighed, his heart is so tired, Lao Tzu, a one-year-old person, has to worry about the foreign diplomacy of the Qing Dynasty, is it easy for me, you don't care about it yourself, it's my business.Zhao Qingluo led Li Jingshou over, "Miss Li is sleepy." ”Young Master Meng smiled: "Okay, Lord Zhongtang, I'll send someone to send Jingshou back first" Li Hongzhang looked at it, blinked his eyes, like Li Jingshou who was about to fall asleep, and smiled: "Okay." ”Xuan Yuemeng looked at Li Hongzhang and smiled, in general, he was still very happy today, helping Li Hongzhang to complete such a big thing, the most important thing is that this matter is helpful to the country, and it has greatly improved the self-esteem of the nation.Young Master Meng hasn't left yet, Hurd and McMarfoy have come over.Young Master Meng looked at McMauff's face, and he also admired McTMafu, the old fat man actually stood up, and he lost four million taels of Chinese official silver at once, and he was able to stand it, which also made Young Master Meng admire the old fat man's ability to resist beating.McMarfoy wanted to pounce on Young Master Meng and strangle him to death, Young Master Meng this time, he pit most of his life savings, in the thirty years of the Great Qing Kingdom, it was all in vain, and the current Xingtai Xingyang Bank was only left with an empty shelf.Young Master Meng suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Mr.
McMaaffo, don't look at me like this, didn't I tell you earlier, there is nothing in that mine, just a little coal mine, you have to buy it yourself, isn't it" McMauff and Ito Hirofumi didn't expect Xuan Yuemeng to dare to mention this matter by themselves.Hurd hurriedly grabbed McMauff's arm, for fear that McMauff would not be able to control himself and would go up to beat Xuan Yuemeng.Xuan Yuemeng has such a one-year-old small body, where can she withstand a beating, it must be beaten into a meatloaf.Young Master Meng smiled slightly: "That mine and power plant, it's impossible to make money at all, I have a proposal, I will invest again, buy it back from the two of you, and let you return to your capital, how about it" McMuff's eyes lit up, and others couldn't imagine that Young Master Meng would say that.Even Li Hongzao and Zhao Qingluo were curious.Timothy Li also came over, and when he heard Young Master Meng say this, he was even more anxious and almost fainted, what is Young Master Meng going to do, do you want to return the money McMauff said in a trembling voice: "Mr.
Yue Meng, can you pay to buy it back and return the four million taels of Chinese official silver to me" Yanagihara Maemitsu also hurriedly asked Ito Hirobumi to ask on his behalf, "Our six million taels of Chinese official silver from the Great Japanese Empire, are you really willing to return it to us" Young Master Meng smiled: "Don't worry, I am in line with the friendship of the three families, and there is still the possibility of cooperation in the future, If you don't think you can do it, forget it.Just when I didn't say it. ”McMarfoy hurriedly said, "Mr.
Yuemeng, please speak." ”Xuan Yuemeng said with a smile: "To be honest, I invested in the construction of power plants and mines, the total investment was less than 500,000 taels, I am now making a little bit of money, I can contract another mine to Lord Li Zhongtang, and re-open a power plant, now, our Klinsmann foreign company's manpower and technology, can open another power plant in a short period of time, however, I think that with the current degree of digestion of the market, it is a waste to open another power plant, so I want to open a price of 500,000, It is higher than the price we invested in the construction at the beginning, and we will buy back the power plant and mine from the two of you, how about it" McMauff and Yanagihara Maemitsu were simply not mad, Young Master Meng Balabala said a bunch of things, the mines and power plants they bought with 10 million taels of Chinese official silver, you are now going to buy back you with 500,000 taels of Chinese official silver, are we fools, McMarfoy said angrily: "I would rather throw it away and put it there as a garbage dump, and I will not sell it to you again, don't dream big, you have the ability, you will open another power plant." ”Yanagihara Maemitsu didn't speak.The Japanese have no choice.The Japanese are really miserable now, and more than half of the six million taels of Chinese official bank are usurious loans borrowed from foreign banks of various countries, and they must be repaid, and how much money can be recovered, at least, the Japanese are more practical than the British.Young Master Meng smiled: "Mr.
McMafoy, don't get excited, if you don't want to, don't want to, just because I didn't say it."
You know, I am making this request from the standpoint of friendship, and the power plant is still a matter for our Klinsmann & Co. now, and the money we invested in the mine and the power plant was less than 500,000 taels of Chinese official silver. ”t1706231537:
