Young Master Meng smiled faintly: "Mr.
Dudek, I'm tired, let's talk about this matter after a while, I'm not in a hurry to sell these gambling houses now, it's good to run them myself." ”Dudek said curiously: "Mr.
Yuemeng wants to run it himself, it's not that I don't know the strength of Mr.
Yuemeng and Klinsmann Foreign Firm, it's just that there are so many gambling houses, it's very energy-consuming, and besides, these gambling houses used to be Prince Gong's family, will he give up, can you run it in peace and stability, if you run it yourself, it's better to sell it directly, it's more cost-effective, don't you still want to develop the American Concession, so many projects, don't you need money, why waste your experience in Beijing" Xuan Yuemeng said secretly, this old boy really didn't do his homework, I've figured out my situation.Young Master Meng is indeed meaningless to spread out a big development in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, even Tianjin, he is going to retreat, in Young Master Meng's economic concept, there is nothing that cannot be sold, since everything can be sold, of course, you must start at the lowest price, and shoot at the highest price, this is what a qualified businessman should do.So far, Young Master Meng is just a trade expert, not a very orthodox manufacturer, his industrialization process, in fact, it has just started, and he has a lot of messy projects, in fact, it is just to train his subordinates, so that everyone has a preliminary understanding, it is really early to industrialize."
I don't need Mr.
Consul to worry about me, it's not impossible to sell, but the price must be fair, and I operate, I can also ask someone to help me run it, Prince Gong is powerful, however, Prince Gong is not this in the Qing Dynasty" Young Master Meng smiled faintly: "Moreover, you think, you lowered the price to me by 500,000 taels at once, so many of my gambling houses are placed here, and I don't do anything, and in two years, the loss of profits will not reach 500,000 taels, so in this case, why should I be in a hurry to sell these gambling houses."
What Young Master Meng said is the simplest economic principle, very convincing, indeed, Du Dek and the foreign businessmen calculated that Master Meng would sell the gambling house, and he could only sell it to foreign businessmen, but they all ignored another question, that is, whether Young Master Meng is in a hurry or not, doing business, not only have several roads to choose from, even if there is only one way, there is still a time for buffering.Young Master Meng stretched out a thumb and shook it and then put it flat, meaning that Prince Gong was not the boss in the Qing Kingdom, and he would not be afraid of Prince Gong's power.Dudek smiled understandingly, he knew Xuan Yuemeng's ability, and Xuan Yuemeng now has the identity of the quasi-concubine, and he really doesn't have to worry about Yixun coming hard, Dudek knows that if he wants to take advantage of Xuan Yuemeng, it is difficult "Then, Mr.
Yuemeng, how much money are you going to sell, the consuls and foreign businessmen in Beijing are indeed very interested." ”Xuan Yuemeng stretched out two fingers, "The lowest, a gambling house can't be lower than this amount" German Consul Dudek gasped, "A gambling house sells 200,000 taels of silver Mr.
Yuemeng, this is too exaggerated, according to the market in Beijing, this is too expensive, that is, a family of 150,000 taels, all a little more expensive, you raised the price by 25 to 30 percent at once, no one will be wronged."
In my opinion, you can make a flat shot and earn back the principal, which is already a very rich profit, you know, this batch of gambling houses, you won by gambling, and did not spend the capital. ”Young Master Meng smiled faintly: "Mr.
Dudek, what you said is not accurate, I don't have the capital, how can I win back this batch of gambling houses, my gambling money, it is my capital, this is my win, have you ever thought that if I lose, I will not only get nothing, but also go out for nothing, millions of taels of Chinese official silver, so, your statement is not valid."
Also, doing business, fair trading, one is willing to buy, one is willing to sell, and I don't plan to let anyone be the wrongdoer, I forced foreign businessmen to buy this batch of gambling houses, so far, I have not released a rumor to sell these gambling houses.Mr.
Dudek, I am very grateful for your kindness, thank you for your consideration of our Klinsmann & Co., I will handle this matter, no matter what the final result is, during the Chinese New Year this year, I will wrap a red envelope for you and I will sell a family, and I will give you a dividend of 1,000 taels of silver If none of them are sold, I will personally seal a red envelope as a thank you to Mr.
Dudek for his long-term support to our Klinsmann & Co. ”Dudek was excited, he was a middleman in the middle, and he only got some fame and gifts, and he really didn't get much benefit, but he definitely got Young Master Meng's money, because he had gotten it, and he also knew that Young Master Meng's reputation was even more because, Young Master Meng and Klinsmann needed him and the German consulate to support him.If the thirty-five gambling houses are all sold in their own hands, thirty-five thousand taels of silver, which is thirty-five thousand taels, is higher than his salary in China for ten years Dudeke's brain turned and smiled bitterly, "Young Master Meng, it's not that I don't want to help you, I really can't think of any way, you can not only sell the gambling house, but also want to earn more than one million taels of silver on the basis of the capital, you don't underestimate the foreign companies in Beijing, they have all developed in the Qing Kingdom for many years." , are very experienced, especially the British and French businessmen are very united. ”Young Master Meng smiled: "Mr.
Dudeke, the price I paid is very fair, how good the location of these gambling houses is, I don't need to say more, otherwise these foreign houses will not want to buy my gambling house so much, good locations will appreciate, I dare to pack tickets, as long as there is no major war in the Qing Kingdom within five years, the housing prices in these areas can exceed the price I offer now, do you say I sell expensive" Dudek was impressed by Xuan Yuemeng's eloquence, "But" Young Master Meng smiled: "Those foreign companies of theirs just want to rob the fire, maybe." , They have reached some kind of tacit agreement, if I don't sell it according to their price, none of them will buy it, right" Dudek nodded, "Mr.
Yue Meng, you are the smartest child I have ever seen, even smarter than most adults, indeed, they have reached a tacit agreement, if you don't sell the gambling house according to the price I just said, not a foreign company will buy it from you." ”Young Master Meng smiled slightly, "That's not necessarily, I only need one move, I can break their method, believe it or not" Dudek wondered: "What trick" Young Master Meng smiled: "Tomorrow Mr.
Dudeke will know, I will have people send out invitations today, please come to the Klinsmann Hotel tomorrow from all foreign companies in Beijing, and when the time comes, I will talk to them about selling gambling houses." ”Dudek looked at Xuan Yuemeng puzzled, and really couldn't think of any way for Xuan Yuemeng to do, "Mr.
Yuemeng, is there anything I need to do" Young Master Meng smiled: "There is no need for anything, but there may be more people coming tomorrow, which will cause inconvenience to the German Consulate." ”Dudek smiled: "It's okay, I'll tell the people below to prepare." ”The inconvenience that Young Master Meng pointed out was because there were no foreign waiters in his Klinsmann Hotel, and he could speak English alone, and if the German consulate did not assist, he would be too busy to entertain so many foreign representatives at one time.Young Master Meng politely sent Dudek away, and as soon as he opened the door, Xuan Zonglu was lying on the door listening to the movement.Dudek smiled and greeted Xuan Zonglu, "Lord Xuan, hello." ”Xuan Zonglu arched his hand awkwardly, "I just came, and I was afraid of disturbing Mr.
Minister's conversation, so I didn't go in." ”Dudek smiled and nodded, "You're welcome, we're good friends, Lord Xuan just needs to treat the German Consulate as his home." ”Xuan Zonglu waited for Dudek to leave, and hurriedly asked: "Yue Meng, do you really plan to sell all the gambling houses to various foreign houses, and they will buy them according to the price you offered" Young Master Meng smiled: "It seems that you have been lying on the door for a long time to listen." ”"This kid, I'm asking you about serious things, you still have the heart to joke that you really plan to sell those gambling houses to foreigners, in this way, my governor will definitely be in the soup" Xuan Zonglu sighed heavily, and even his eyes seemed to be red, "This silver is indeed a lot, but if your grandfather can really be a governor, with more than ten years of hard work, he can also collect two or three million taels." ”Young Master Meng was secretly amused, "Don't worry, even if you offend Yixun, I can still put you on the throne of the governor, Prince Gong can't cover the sky with one hand, besides, this governor was given by the emperor himself, why didn't he give it" Xuan Zonglu shook his head, "You still don't understand the things in the officialdom, he has been dragging his subordinates, what can the emperor do with him, and now the emperor has no real power." ”Young Master Meng smiled: "Don't worry, I said that I will help you to the governor's throne, you will definitely be able to do it, you give me a little time, within half a year, I will definitely do it" Xuan Zonglu looked at Xuan Yuemeng suspiciously, "You are not coaxing your grandfather to be happy, what can you do" Young Master Meng shook his head and said with a smile: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, I said that there is a way, there is a way, now Xuan Hongtao is doing things in Tianjin Customs Road, and he will not worry about the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, when the time comes, as long as Xuan Hongtao is promoted, let Xuan Hongtao ask you for an official position, More convincing than anything else. ”Xuanzong Luqi said: "This is the emperor's personal will, and it is not the turn of the governor to be released, how can Hong Tao be promoted to more than five grades in order to hand over the fold to the imperial court."
If Hong Tao really has the qualifications to be on the fold, indeed, it is most appropriate for Hong Tao to mention this matter. ”"Don't worry, I said that I will do it, when did I say a big thing, when I sold these gambling houses, you will go back to Tianjin with me first, I have arranged my ears and eyes in Beijing, as long as the official documents of the imperial court come down, you can know immediately, I promise" Young Master Meng's eyes are full of confidence "Moreover, I still have the qualifications to face the saint, it really can't be, when the time comes, I will personally ask the queen mother and the emperor for you to be official, this is all right" Xuan Zonglu was still skeptical, "Your little mouth, you can blow too well, the queen mother allows you to enter the palace to face the saint, That's just an honor, you really take it seriously, I want to know now, what way do you have to persuade those foreign businessmen tomorrow to let them buy your gambling house I just heard Dudek say, these foreign businessmen have reached an agreement, as long as you don't reduce the price, they won't buy it, do you really plan to sell it at a lower price" Young Master Meng smiled: "You have a lot of questions, and tomorrow, you will naturally know, has Li Zhongtang gone back to Tianjin" Xuan Zonglu shook his head and said: "Not yet, I asked Li Zhongtang to arrange for Li Zhongtang to stay at our Klinsmann Hotel, and it is estimated that Li Zhongtang will leave in the next few days. ”Young Master Meng said happily: "That's right, I can go back with Li Zhongtang, then it will be safer." ”Xuan Zonglu listened to Xuan Yuemeng's mouthful, and really wanted to know what Xuan Yuemeng had to do, but was pushed away by Yuemeng, Yuemeng said that he was still a child, very tired, and wanted to rest.Xuanzong left with a lot of worries, and he couldn't understand why his little grandson had so many ghost ideas, and besides, his tone was still tight, and everything he did was hidden.t1706231537:
