Hearing Young Master Meng say this, Timothy Li, Xuan Yuewen, Xuan Yuewu, Xuan Dazhi and Xuan Dali were all stunned.

What does it mean to offend Li Hongzhang?

They all know very well that it means that it is difficult for Klinsmann's business to go out of Tianjin, how big is Tianjin?

Having lost the market of the Great Qing Dynasty, and their relations with several major European countries were not good, then there would be no need to develop in the future, and Li Hongzhang did have the strength to kill Klinsmann's foreign company.

Timothy Lee said angrily: "This bandit! Scum! Bandit. ”

Xuan Yuewen was born and didn't speak, Xuan Yuewu couldn't help but say: "It should be said that it is an old dog, and it is an animal!" Livestock! ”

Xuan Dazhi said hatefully: "Young Master, let's kill this old dog, right?" ”

Xuan Dali also chimed in: "Yes, slaughter this old dog!" This is not giving us a way to live! ”

Xuan Yuewen shook his head, "Don't talk nonsense, if you kill Li Hongzhang alone, there will be no such thing?" It's the same if we change people, we don't have the support of the foreign government behind us, and it is a matter of time before we are blackmailed. ”

What Xuan Yuewen said was very reasonable, and Timothy Lee also admitted, "What Mr. Yuewen said is right, just scold a few words, when you encounter something, you still have to think of a solution to solve it, just getting angry doesn't have much effect." ”

Young Master Meng sighed, Timothy Li is a very gentle person, and he is mad to be able to scold people like this, but aren't you Timothy Li himself a foreigner? If it weren't for the bandit country of Britain coming to the Great Qing Kingdom, why would you be here? Originally, wealth is built on the basis of robbers, either I rob you, or you rob me.

Without Li Hongzhang's bureaucratic capital to open the way, where would Klinsmann's foreign company develop?

Young Master Meng has not forgotten where he got his first pot of gold, putting aside the family property he seized from Xuan Zonglu and buying the land in the American Concession, it was Li Hongzhang who supported him behind his back, otherwise, he would not have been able to do anything.

Now it's just that Li Hongzhang wants to exert control over Klinsmann's foreign company, and Young Master Meng himself is unwilling.

Young Master Meng still saw this matter very clearly, and did not regard this matter as a matter between him and Li Hongzhang.

This is still a normal interaction between the two forces.

National capital must be subordinate to bureaucratic capital.

Young Master Meng has now begun to have a political vision, he has not studied politics for a day, however, in modern society, in fact, no one has less contact with politics, but there is no opportunity to really participate in political life, and they are used to being enslaved by life.

In this era, everyone is just living in a muddled way, and no one will reflect on how society is structured. What is the nature of cannibalistic societies in those capitalist countries?

Like, everything is as it should be.

Existence is reasonable.

How good is this statement?

Let all the oppression be at ease, and let all the humility be natural.

"You don't have to talk angry, just talk about things, you can't scold people to death, and if there is one less Li Hongzhang, this society will not change! Without anyone, the earth will still turn! Young Master Meng seemed very calm, in the past few days, he had digested more than half of the disgusting feeling he had felt about himself, and now his mood was much more relaxed, "Now, there are two paths in front of us, either obey the times and be controlled by Li Hongzhang!" Gift a piece of land worth about eight million taels of silver, of course, this gift, in the future, can recover the capital, as long as this kind of business is still being done, this chain of interests will not be easily broken, even if Li Hongzhang is dead, the successor will continue, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests! The second way is to find a blank piece of land, a piece of land suitable for long-term holding, and develop your own base area! ”

This is the first time that Young Master Meng has proposed the concept of a base area.

Everyone feels new to the concept of Young Master Meng's base, and they really haven't heard of it, but it's easy to understand. You can understand it when you hear it.

"Mr. Yuemeng, where do you think it's best to be a base? What better location than Tianjin? Besides, we have already paid so much, since we can't avoid it, and we can recover the cost in the future, otherwise, we will give Li Hongzhang it. Timothy Lee has spoken.

Xuan Yuewen, Xuan Dazhi, and Xuan Dali did not speak, and Xuan Yuewu also supported Timothy Lee's opinion.

From a business point of view, from the perspective of industrial base, it is true that it is convenient to communicate with foreigners here, and when the US Concession Wharf is successfully completed, Tianjin will definitely be more prosperous, and there will be more and more opportunities. If you run to a deserted land and start all over again, you really have to rely on yourself.

This is not conducive to the development of industry, and if the conditions are too poor and too difficult, it will be even more difficult to introduce talent.

"Yes, Yuemeng, where do you want to be our base? That's it, right? Anyway, it's not that we can't get the money now, he wants a piece of land, so let's make less money, so give him a piece of land? Our factories are still just starting, production has just started, if we change to a new place, some time ago, the efforts will be lost. Xuan Yuewu also expressed his opinion.

Young Master Meng: "How can you lose it?" The big deal is to work hard again, and the work experience during this period of time, that is all in the mind. I plan to choose Dandong, Dandong is located on the border of the Qing Dynasty and North Korea, belongs to a desolate seaport that both sides do not care about, the location is good, it is a natural ice-free port, it is convenient to go anywhere, the economic center of gravity is shifted to the north, and it also lays the foundation for the development of heavy domestic industry in the future. Heavy industry is king! No matter how well we build in the American Concession, this place will not belong to the United States, but will belong to the Qing government in the future, and will never be our private property! I want a piece of land that belongs to me alone, I want an army to defend this land, and the point is, it belongs to me alone! North Korea is still an uncivilized feudal primary country, which poses no threat to us, and if it develops well, it can not only use the resources of North Korea, but also have a large area of land and manpower! Free manpower. ”

Everyone gasped.

Young Master Meng has already made it clear, anyone can understand it, this is the idea of splitting the earth and sealing the king, this is the ambition of colonization.

Although everyone vaguely knew in their hearts that Young Master Meng was an ambitious and planned person, they didn't expect that Young Master Meng was less than two years old, and he was already planning to develop a colony and plan to open up a country? This is no joke. (To be continued.) )
