11 The Emperor's New Outfit (Plus Change)

Xiang Shuai was like this, Han Huaiyi had no choice but to promise: "The juniors have to take care of it for you." ”

"That'll do." Zhang Zhidong immediately beckoned to Goshha outside: "Go and get the map on the table in my study." ”

Then he said to Han Huaiyi: "The old man has already reserved some land for you, and the location is also good, but what you promised me to do well." ”

"Yes."

Zhang Zhidong was a little uncomfortable with his face at this time, so he asked him: "Why are you so honest today?" ”

"I'm afraid I'll ask someone to clean it up for you, so I'll bear with it." Han Huaiyi said truthfully.

Wei Yungong coughed violently when he heard the sip of tea, and Xiang Shuai scolded: "You pretending to be a ghost all day long. You're good, what does the old man do to you! ”

Outside the door, it was not surprising that the Governor and Han Charlie were so close.

Because they have all been to Shanghai with adults before, they know the strange relationship between these two.

The map was brought in quickly.

Zhang Zhidong has already drawn a red circle on it, and the location is on the Yangtze River north of Wuchang, and Hankou is on the opposite bank.

Coincidentally, Han Huaiyi's boat was parked outside the somewhat dilapidated official wharf.

Zhang Zhidong actually explained it to Han Huaiyi personally, and after listening to the old man's explanation, Han Huaiyi couldn't help but sincerely thank him and said: "Junior, thank you Xiangshuai, for bothering you." ”

"It's okay, I have another thing to ask you and Yun Gong for."

Zhang Zhidong continued: "The old man wants to make the Jiangnan dock independent, but he can't favor one over the other, so the shipyard here in Wuhan can't be idle, Huaiyi, and Yungong, can you first move two iron armors over to the shipyard here, and the workers in Marseille are also divided into a few to keep an eye on here?" ”

Wei Yungong naturally has no opinion, in this era, he is equal to Zhang Zhidong's protΓ©gΓ©, so he can only obey.

Han Huaiyi naturally had no opinion.

But he hid his thoughts and said first: "Xiangshuai, I won't hide it from you because of the three docks and five boats, I am a little stretched thin." I handed over the semi-finished product to Brother Yungong, in addition to having a close relationship with him, I also hope that the final payment for the repair of the ship will be in arrears until the end of next year. ”

Zhang Zhidong listened obediently, pointed at him and said to Wei Yungong: "See, this is asking me to give him sweetness." ”

Wei Yungong hurriedly explained: "My lord, this guy hasn't told me these ideas before. ”

Then he hurriedly said to Han Huaiyi: "I haven't promised you these conditions." ”

Zhang Zhidong waved his hand: "Okay, okay, okay, I also promise you if you can do it, and maybe I will give you some benefits." ”

"My lord, what's the benefit?" Han Huaiyi immediately asked.

"No rules." Zhang Zhidong's eyes widened, but he didn't say anything.

Han Huaiyi was speechless, you are fishing, he had no choice but to say: "If Lord Yungong has no opinion, then I have no opinion, I will arrange this matter later." ”

As a result, Zhang Zhidong still refused to say anything to give him, and only smiled meaningfully.

Han Huaiyi only came to a sudden realization after meeting with Bortai the next day.

"I'm also convinced."

Han Huaiyi reluctantly said to Bortai.

Bo Tai looked at him puzzled, and Han Huaiyi said, "Didn't you tell me that you could easily know the problem of steelmaking in Hanyang Factory?" ”

"Yes, it's a matter of acidity and alkalinity. Mr. Jang bought the wrong stove at the time. ”

"And, after being reminded, you still stubbornly buy the wrong one, right? Then something went wrong, and the British laughed at him for his ignorance. ”

"That's right."

"So, he probably already knows what's going on, that's why he called me. If I hadn't arranged for you to inquire, maybe he would have told me himself, and then corrected that in my name, as simple as that. ”

Han Huaiyi was right, Zhang Zhidong just didn't reflect before.

Once such a character really puts down the shelf from the mentality, he will know what the problem is by asking honestly and quietly.

In the story of the emperor's new clothes, the adults on the street praised it because they had a problem with being a fool of His Holiness.

So even if someone knows about it, no one dares to take the initiative to talk to Zhang Zhidong.

Zhang Zhidong was naturally very angry after understanding the situation, thinking that these guys were not good things, and the old man even had a rush to hide his thoughts all day to see him make a fool of himself.

In fact, things may not be as he thinks, because this news has only made a few turns among foreigners.

If Bortai and the others hadn't specifically asked, no one would have said anything about it.

But he couldn't help Zhang Zhidong's sensitivity, so he immediately sent a telegram to Shanghai to find his henchman Wei Yungong and Han Huaiyi, whom he liked quite a lot.

He wanted to use these two people who had nothing to do with the local area to come forward and turn the situation around.

THIS IS ...

Han Huaiyi was suddenly shocked and shouted, "No wonder he told me that he wanted to give me a benefit when he went back!" Get! ”

Bortai could only sigh helplessly if he didn't understand: "Boss, what are you talking about, you Chinese are really complicated, I'd better drive my boat." ”

"Go ahead, go ahead, you don't have to spread what I said to you, and don't always go to Padro if it's okay, he's a man!"

Bortai... How can I have!

Han Huaiyi immediately ran to see Xiang Shuai.

Goshha in the Governor's Mansion knew about him, but at this time, Xiangshuai was busy with some official business, and there was a sentence inside: "The old man is busy and has no time to take care of you, why don't you go to the construction site." ”

After relaying this sentence to him in the gesture of repeating Xiang Shuai's tone, Goshha said to Han Huaiyi with an affectionate expression: "Xiang Shuai also takes care of you to go to his house for dinner at night." ”

Han Huaiyi has completely understood the truth that he is a prop here.

He had no choice but to go to the Wuchang River first.

In fact, he would prefer to set up the wharf in the concession on the other side.

But although the repetition story can be staged, it may not be a good thing to rely too much on their relationship in the cooperation with foreigners like Melo and Jason.

You have to show enough weight, such as the relationship with Zhang Zhidong.

So Han Huaiyi can only choose this way.

He was even prepared for the future of this dock to be forcibly requisitioned by the messy Grass King.

But Han Huaiyi is confident that the cost of his own investment in the Xinhai period should have been returned long ago.

Hankou and Hanyang, opposite Wuchang, are locked on three legs and the mighty Yangtze River.

Standing on the bank of this river, which is full of weeds, Han Huaiyi, who has a bit of a middle school by nature, turned his back to the Yellow Crane Tower on the back of Snake Mountain, and suddenly became poetic, and roared at the top of his throat: "The great river east goes to the waves, and the romantic characters of the ages... ”

Who knew that a human head popped up from the reeds: "What are you doing?" ”

Han Huaiyi was taken aback and said, "Brother Yungong, which mushroom is you going to drill the grass with?" Can you take me with you? ”

Wei Yungong shook his head angrily, and he didn't have a problem with him.
