The British Minister Wei Tuma also stood up, he had no way not to be excited, Xuan Yuemeng This lion opened his mouth, "President Meng, you have cut off more than eighty percent of our two countries' income from China, we must not promise you to be clear, China is an agricultural country, and our industrial products are not marketable here, and we only need money, if we don't want money, what are we going to Asia for" President Meng smiled slightly, "Sit down, sit down, two gentlemen, Didn't I just say that although it is a formal negotiation today, I put it at the banquet table to tell you about the friendship between friends" British Minister Wei Toma understood what President Meng meant, "President Meng, no matter how much you give us private benefits, there is no way, our national government will never agree to such a request, this point, as the head of the country, you should know better than anyone else." ”President Meng nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, I know, I know better than anyone else, cutting off eighty percent of the income at once is painful enough, and it can even be painful to start the third opium war."
Sit, sit down, don't get excited, if it doesn't work, it won't affect us to be friends, I don't mean to embarrass the two gentlemen, even if it doesn't work, it won't affect our dinner" The British Minister Wittoma and the French Minister Luo Shuya sat down again under the persuasion of President Meng, and said secretly, your food has never been delicious, but they are not anxious, this kind of price, they will never agree, and their national government will not agree, this point, the two of them are very clear, Even if Xuan Yuemeng wanted to bribe the two of them with this money, they didn't dare to accept it."
I can open up China's treaty ports to you, including the Northeast tariff, to 2025, your trade income can rise by at least two percent, and your income can still reach forty percent, my territory is so big, I don't occupy the entire Qing Dynasty, can't you still sell opium in other parts of China" President Meng was still smiling, without the slightest impatience.President Moe's diplomatic demeanor makes Prince Richard Harris heartbroken, even if he stands in a hostile position, he can listen to President Moe's words, not to mention that Prince Richard Harris is still President Moe's subordinate, today, Prince Richard Harris has no chance to speak, because from the beginning of the negotiations, President Moe has always been personally leading.The British Minister Wittoma and the French Minister Luo Shuya looked at each other, they had been suppressed just now, and now they had raised their chips a little, which did make them feel a little more comfortable, but the two of them still did not speak.President Moe smiled at Princess Katrina Kafu and said, "You guys do it too, two gentlemen, they are my female secretaries and my wife, don't mind if they join the banquet" "Of course you can." ”The British Minister Wittoma and the French Minister Loshua were still polite on this point, and hurriedly got up and said.Princess Katrina Kaave sat next to Prince Richard Harris, and Liu Yuqing sat next to President Moe.President Meng smiled: "In fact, not only to increase the income of 20%, China's economy, the most developed part, is already in my hands, to fight, fight for ten or eight years, you may not be able to kill us, but if we win, not only can you not get a penny, but also pay a huge amount of war funds, don't forget the lesson of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, our Huaguo, than the organization of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, is much stronger, do you two ministers admit this" British Minister Wei Tuma nodded and said: "President Meng, what you said, It makes sense, and we also admit that if we fight with China for ten years like we did when we helped the Qing court, we really can't see who wins and who loses, and if the Qing court loses, we will also suffer heavy losses.However, we can't accept the damage to our huge interests all at once, and I propose that only the treaty ports be opened to sell opium, and we will not go to the mainland to circulate and not go out of the ports. ”French Minister Luo Shuya nodded and said: "Yes, Mr.
Wittoma's words are reasonable, in this case, President Meng, you have actually compressed at least more than thirty percent, and our profit margin is already the biggest concession we can make" President Meng smiled and shook his head, "You can't sell opium, this is my bottom line, just this one, it must not be changed, on this basis, it's easy to talk about anything, I think my statement, the people of your country, should not object, if the people of your country agree to sell opium in other countries, I can't imagine that you are a civilized country, a civilized country, and you would not do such a thing as a beast. ”President Meng's words were very harsh, and they suddenly became stern without warning, which also made the British Minister Wei Toma and the French Minister Luo Shuya red-faced and afraid.President Meng is a war maniac, let alone killing the two of them, even if he suddenly kills thousands of British and French troops, President Meng will not hesitate, the two of them are thinking, just get out as soon as possible, don't talk about this matter anymore."
President, you are embarrassing us, since our three countries are friendly countries, and they are all the main countries of the Nanyang Treaty member organizations, you can't do this, I can say that the conditions you put forward are absolutely impossible to pass in China, this is not a civilized or uncivilized thing, this is interests, for the sake of interests, people can lose their humanity."
The French minister, Loshua, realized the danger and made a final effort in a low voice.President Meng is comfortable in his heart, this is the pride of being a Chinese, a strong country like France, in front of him, finally willing to lower his posture, President Meng waved his hand, "If you don't slip away, you don't need to say it again, don't worry, I won't embarrass you two, before starting negotiations today, I have actually drawn up a plan for negotiations between the two sides, tomorrow, I will send it to your country, will not embarrass you, I will reiterate what I just said with your country, I will add another article, cancel the residence limit."
In this way, you foreigners can at least be more convenient to do business on the ground of our country, moreover, I will retain your privileges, keep your concessions, and you can earn Chinese money by virtue of your ability, at least, on the basis of the previous one, adding another layer of profits is also conducive to your spreading foreign religion In this way, you can negotiate with the Qing court, and the same conditions, on the whole, your profit loss will be less than four percent" British Minister Wittoma and French Minister Luo Shuya glanced at each other, French Minister Luo Shuya squeezed out a smile, "Mr.
President, you always speak like this, wouldn't it be over if you said this earlier, it sounds much more comfortable than just now." ”President Meng smiled and leaned back on the sofa chair, "I have long expected you to bargain, in fact, I have thought about this matter before and after, you must know that our Huaguo is the new government, and then agree to those unequal treaties before the Qing court, I will bear great humiliation, and my people, I will also bear these humiliations, when the time comes, progressive students, rarely have to make trouble, our system is no different from Britain, France, I believe you all understand, I invite two gentlemen, I just hope that you can truthfully reflect the current changes in southern China to the governments of your two countries, and please understand my difficulties," President Meng said, waving his hand, Wang Zhankui stepped forward, and pushed a Nanmu box in front of everyone.President Meng said with a smile: "We Chinese eat, there is a thank you gift, this is our custom, everyone, 100,000 taels of Qing Guoguan Bank, Huaguo Central Bank promissory note, that is, exchange, right, to Tianjin, can be exchanged, not a tribute."
Regardless of whether the negotiations are successful or not, I hope that the ministers of the two countries will accept this gift, and I still hope that the two of you can truthfully reflect the situation in China, and I can see all this in the newspapers of your country. ”The British Minister Wei Tuma and the French Minister Luo Shuya smiled and nodded at the same time, the two of them naturally like money, and they did not accept the money of the president once or twice.t1706231537:
