0054 Xigu City
British Minister Wei Tuma, China General Taxation Department Hurd, General Manager of Xintaixing & Co. McMarfau, Zhilin, Shouchuan, Xuan Hongbo, and Ito Hirobumi saw Klinsmann's superb business methods and hot sales, and their eyes were red!
Wittoma, Hurd, and McMarfoy waited until the banquet was over and hurried away!
Zhilin snorted coldly: "Hong Bo, your nephew is much more powerful than you and your eldest brother!" ”
Xuan Hongbo smiled and said: "Lord Zhilin, I said a long time ago that this is still the reincarnation of a goblin, don't you believe it, I have enough strength, who made you not seize the opportunity last time?" Directly slaughter this child, and no one will grab the order from the Beiyang Yamen with you. ”
Shou Chuan also echoed: "Zhilin, it's not me talking about you, you are getting more and more unreliable now, how much effort did I exert last time?" Even the men and horses of the Yamen have been transferred to you, and you can't do it yourself, who are you complaining about now? ”
Zhilin clenched his fist fiercely, his fist clenched and rattled, and glanced at Xuan Yuemeng, who was talking to Timothy Lee, and walked out of the Attenborough Hotel.
Ito Hirofumi glanced at Xuan Yuemeng lightly, and also left the Attenborough Hotel. At this time, Japan did not have the strength to use force and commerce to compete for interests in China, and Japan's eyes were all set on China's periphery, and in order to develop such a small island country, it must first start with Korea and Taiwan on China's periphery, Korea is a vassal state of China, and Taiwan is the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and these two places are places that ambitious Japan cannot avoid.
On the foreigner side, the only one who sincerely congratulated Klinsmann was De Xuanlin, who was the Tianjin Taxation Department and a German, and extended his hand to Timothy Lee: "Congratulations, you have been very successful today. ”
Timothy Lee was in good spirits on happy occasions, and his appearance at the end of the banquet was very different from the appearance before the banquet began, and he shook hands with De Xuanlin with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. De Xuanlin." ”
Xuan Yuemeng took out his gold watch and shook it, "Mr. De Xuanlin, I have always taken the gold watch you gave me with me, very punctual, thank you, Mr. Timothy Lee, I suggest that in the next phase of the sales plot, give a piece of land to Mr. De Xuanlin, to thank him for his consistent support to our Klinsmann & Co. ”
De Xuanlin didn't expect Xuan Yuemeng to have so much power in Klinsmann & Co., so she hurriedly excused herself and said, "Thank you, I don't have enough money, didn't I hear that there are six communities planned by yourself just now?" Three low-rent housing communities, two mid-range villa areas, and one high-end villa area, I will buy a house in your high-end villa area when the time comes, and then I will take my family in Germany. ”
Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "That's okay, when the time comes, you buy the land, Mr. Timothy Lee, you also choose a piece of land in advance, the land of the two of you is next to each other, let the foreign bank take out manpower and material resources to build a house for you in advance, let you be the first to move in, Mr. Timothy Lee, you will also take your family to live." ”
Timothy Li glanced at Xuan Yuemeng gratefully, "Mr. Yuemeng, thank you, you are really thoughtful." ”
Although De Xuanlin is a little strange, why is Timothy Li the boss and still thanks Xuan Yuemeng? However, he didn't think much about it, and thanked Xuan Yuemeng for his proposal, and also thanked Timothy Lee.
Xuan Yuemeng is the kind of person who has been kind to him by others, he will definitely remember, his impression of De Zhulin is not bad, last time he was able to get a large sum of silver from McMarfoy of Xintaixing Foreign Company, De Zhulin's family also played an important role, and people like De Zhulin are generous, there is no habit of saving money at all, and people with a certain status can live in the American concession he owns, it is absolutely beneficial and harmless, a person like De Zhulin can drive a lot of consumption, which is called stimulating consumption, If they are all stingy people living together and not consuming, where do they go to make profits?
Today, the entire batch of land for sale in the sixteenth level of the land was pre-sold, and a total of more than 50,000 taels of silver was obtained! Timothy Lee was so thoroughly excited.
In Xuan Yuemeng's office, Timothy Lee: "Mr. Yuemeng, according to this progress, as long as the scale of construction investment is not expanded, the amount of land in the US concession can be completed next year." ”
Xuan Yuemeng shook her head, "Our land sales in batches this time are good, it is because of the great good news of Lord Li Hongzhang, since we have agreed to donate to the Tianjin Xigu City Construction Project, we must do it!" Now it is also necessary to increase the number of workers. Also, for the equipment of the power plant, you should quickly ask the large German companies for quotations, and it is better to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with any of them, and at the same time ensure the quality of the equipment, let them send engineers to help us get on the track, and also let them provide technicians who have worked in the power plant for at least five years, until our own trained technicians can work independently. The equipment of the power plant and the equipment of the coal mine arrive at the same time, you can specially charter a sea vessel, which will save a little freight, if there is a German commercial bank willing to contract this business, you can also consider, take advantage of the fact that so many foreign representatives are now gathered in Tianjin, you can do more work. ”
Timothy Lee was worried: "Is it really going to be about mining coal mines and starting a power plant so soon?" We will not have enough funds, this will require a lot of money, Mr. Yue Meng, do you really think that there is no industrial situation here in Tianjin, and there is a need to open a power plant for electricity consumption? Coal mines, power plants, these are at least more than 2 million taels, even if all your commercial land is sold, it is not enough, besides, in your planning, don't you leave most of it to our Klinsmann & Co. to develop by themselves? I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out. ”
Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "If you want to be in the head, you seem to have forgotten, we still have a dock?" And what about industrial zones? As long as the wharf is built and there is a huge amount of material flow, it is crucial for us to find loans from German and American banks, or to make money for the development of factories in industrial zones! ”
Timothy Li looked at the boss in a daze, "Okay, Mr. Yuemeng, no matter what, today is indeed a success, before today's banquet, I thought that there was no tomorrow for our foreign bank, I hope it can be like you said, I will start to contact the purchase of power plant and coal mine equipment, it seems that we have to reserve more engineers and technicians, I am really worried, you have pulled the capital chain so tightly, there is a problem in one link, our foreign bank will be closed." ”
Xuan Yuemeng admired Timothy Lee's serious German energy, and he himself was a little worried, indeed, if the capital chain was so tight, it was a very dangerous thing, and he seemed to have to rely on selling land to maintain funds every step forward, and it would be very troublesome to be spoiled by anyone in any link! He can make money by publishing false news, but won't people publish false news to harm him?
Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "Mr. Timothy Li, your worries are very necessary, I promise, I will be more cautious on the next road, and please pay attention to your own safety, after all, your current identity is different, if people want to deal with our foreign company, they may attack you, we have to buy another batch of short guns, and first contract the patrol house of the American Concession, didn't the American Consul Williams say that all aspects of the American Concession will be contracted by us in the future?" We are now the only two directors of the Board of Directors, and with Williams himself, there are only three members of the Board of Directors of the American Concession. ”
Timothy Lee: "Yes, Mr. Yuemeng, what you said is right, I will pay attention." ”
Leaving the concession, today Xuan Yuemeng was busy until late before returning to Zeng's mansion, he did not send an invitation to Zeng Jize today, because he was afraid that Zeng Jize would be embarrassed, and sent it to Beiyang Yamen because Klinsmann Foreign Company may have business dealings with Beiyang Yamen, if you invite Zeng Jize like this, it is to invite court officials, as for Zhilin, Shouchuan and Xuan Hongbo, it was that they were uninvited, during the whole banquet, Xuan Yuemeng did not pay attention to Xuan Hongbo, before this, Xuan Yuemeng had not seen Xuan Hongbo for a long time.
Xuan Huang and Xuan Hongtao all went to sleep, only Xuan Xu's Xu Xiangzhi and Xiaohua were still waiting for Xuan Yuemeng.
Xuan Xu: "You are such an old child, is it necessary to work so hard?" ”
Although I don't know what Xuan Yuemeng does outside every day, I probably still know, and everyone thinks that Xuan Yuemeng is working as a translator for Timothy Lee at Klinsmann & Co.
Xiaohua hurriedly hugged Xuan Yuemeng and went to wipe Xuan Yuemeng's body and change clothes, while Xuan Xu worked on the side, and the two of them cooperated very tacitly.
Xuan Yuemeng smiled slightly, "I've been busy for a while, and then I can be a little easier, if I don't work hard, how can I let the two of you live a good life?" ”
When Xuan Xu and Xiaohua heard Xuan Yuemeng say this, both of them blushed at the same time, not knowing where to go.
Xiaohua is a house slave bought by Xuan Yuemeng, "Little master, little master, slave maid should wait for the young master, don't dare to do anything." ”
Xuan Xu was a little sour in her heart, she felt that Xiaohua was about the same age as herself, if she took care of Yuemeng for a long time, would Yuemeng like Xiaohua when she grew up? Xiaohua is so beautiful after all, but Xuan Xu felt that his thoughts were a little ridiculous, Xiaohua was only ten years old, and Xuan Yuemeng was less than a year old, just thinking about this, isn't it ridiculous?
Xuan Yuemeng had already wiped his body under the skillful waiter of the two people, changed into a new clothes, specially used for him to sleep and wear, and said with a smile: "You are not a house slave anymore, I hope you two can be called sisters, your surname is Hua, you should have a big name, you are so beautiful, you look jade, just Hua Yuerong, right?" ”
Hua Yuerong's eyes were filled with tears instantly, she liked the name given to her by the young master very much, the most important thing is that the young master did not treat her as a subordinate, although she had only been with the young master for a month, but she ate well and lived well, and the fourth grandmother was good to her, Hua Yuerong only felt that her past suffering was like a dream, Hua Yuerong knelt down and said: "My Hua Yuerong can serve the young master in this life, it is a blessing that I Hua Yuerong cultivated in my last life." ”
Xuan Yuemeng stretched out her little chubby paw and said to Hua Yuerong: "I think it's called Xiaohua, it's not good, so I thought of giving you a scientific name, so it looks much more generous, Hua Yuerong?" What do you think? Do you like the name I gave you? Hurry up, don't kneel casually in the future, we don't have this rule here, don't be spoiled by the people of Zengfu, they are big mansions in Zengfu, and there are many rules. ”
Hua Yuerong nodded gratefully, "I like it, I like the name that the young master gave me, only the ladies and wives of big families have names, I have a name, is this appropriate?" ”
Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "There is nothing inappropriate, Xu Xiangzhi, Hua Yuerong, they are all very good, Xiangzhi, Yuerong, we will all call each other by name in the future, hehe." ”
Xu Xiangzhi was unhappy in her heart, she felt that she was Xuan Yuemeng's mother, where was there anyone who called her mother's name?
Xuan Yuemeng didn't treat Xu Xiangzhi as a mother, this was all a matter made up in the specific environment of the old era, anyway, he couldn't accept in his heart that he had a mother who was only ten years older than him, you are as old as Yaxin Gege, how to be my mother? Thinking of Yaxin Gege, Xuan Yuemeng remembered that when he was kidnapped with Yaxin Gege, Yaxin Gege called his husband, and his heart was infinitely sweet, he hadn't seen Yaxin Gege for a while, and he panicked.
At night, Xuan Yuemeng was sandwiched between Xu Xiangzhi and Hua Yuerong, he quietly opened his eyes, looked left and right, and the two of them immediately woke up vigilantly, and at the same time propped up their arms and asked, "Yuemeng?" Hungry? "Young master? Russian? Or do you want to boo? ”
Xuan Yuemeng sweated profusely, this care was too thoughtful, looking at the little belly pockets of the two people, he hurriedly closed his eyes, "No, let's sleep." ”
I used to fantasize about being able to sleep with beautiful women on both the left and the right, although Xu Xiangzhi and Hua Yuerong are still very young, but both of them have already seen the beauty embryo, when the time comes when there are really two beauties sleeping with them, Xuan Yuemeng's feeling is not very comfortable! When a bunch of delicacies were placed in front of me, I realized that I couldn't do that, just that.
Smelling the fragrance of the two girls, Xuan Yuemeng happily entered the dream, he didn't want to sleep every day, there were many things waiting for him to do every day, this kind of longing for life, compared with the modern days of eating and drinking and waiting for death, the world is far away.
The next day, Xuan Yuemeng decided to give herself a day off, anyway, if there is a big event, Timothy Li will come to him in person, or let someone come to him, as for the things on the construction site, it is useless for him to go, the continuous meeting a while ago, the blueprint planning of the entire American Concession and the American Concession wharf, farm, fishery and industrial zone has been completed, and the site selection of the mine has also been completed.
As for the donation of the Tianjin Xigu City Construction Project, Klinsmann & Co. discussed with the Beiyang Yamen, mainly donating a batch of cement poured out of the large stone, which is the most lacking in the Beiyang Yamen at present, not only does not have the funds to mine, but such a large stone, not to say that you can mine it if you want to, the large cement poured out of the stone of Klinsmann Foreign Company, all of a sudden solved the big problem of the Beiyang Yamen.
