Late at night, in Manchester's Maria Villa, in Zhu Jishi's study, the whale oil lamp is still shining. Inside the room sat several of Zhu Jishi's subordinates, some of whom pretended to be Louie. Napoleon III of Durand, Brother Trigo, who had just arrived from France, the Liu brothers, Han Si, and Will. Heming and Cospel. William.

It was past midnight, but everyone was still in good spirits, and a map of Greater East Asia was spread out, with several trade routes outlined in red pencil.

Zhu Jishi's eyes were red, and he was writing something on the table, as if it was a planning book for Nanyang trade, and he stopped from time to time to say a few words to those subordinates.

"Jason, Nanyang's business is very large, and it may not be appropriate for the head office of Jishixing to directly operate it, so a separate Nanyang trading company should be established."

"Jason, Nanyang Trading's profits are too large, and some powerful shareholders must be introduced, and 60% of the shares held by Jishixing are enough."

"It's better to bring Prince Albert in, to be a shareholder of Nanyang Trading or a shareholder of the World Bank."

"The market of the Qing Kingdom is not only about coolie trade and opium, if only the Nanyang trade could fully enter the market of the Qing Kingdom."

Everyone was speechless, and they all looked like they were rolling up their sleeves and preparing to do a big job. Although Britain was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, it was overseas trade and colonization that really made a fortune. The British-India-China triangular trade alone does not know how many millionaires have been created! No matter how good it is to open a textile factory in the UK, there are few rich people worth millions (pounds). And those drug dealers who smuggled opium to China had a net worth of millions but did not know how many, not to mention the slave trade from Africa to the Americas, the trade of the Gold Coast and the Ivory Coast of Africa, and the spice trade of the East Indies. So Zhu Jishi played the card of "coolie trade", and everyone already smelled the fragrance of the pound.

Zhu Jishi smiled reservedly and put down the pen, "The prospects of Nanyang trade are good, but the investment is slow to bear fruit, if you want to build an iron factory, shipyard, gunpowder factory, port, warehouse, etc. in Hong Kong, the initial investment will be at least 100,000 pounds!" If you want to make a profit, it will be at least two or three years later. ”

Two or three years is not too long, and even if you really want to rebel, don't you have to have a process of accumulating liliang? Hong Kong's universities and colleges will not be able to produce talents in three to five years. If there are not enough available talents, even if the rebellion is started, how much benefit will it be to the country and the people?

……

"Jason, are you really a descendant of the Ming Dynasty Emperor of China?" Engels put down his wine glass, frowned, and the expression on his face was a little complicated, "Are you going back to the East to start a revolution or restoration?" ”

The next night, in the dining room of Maria's villa, there were only two people, Zhu Jishi and Engels, who were not served, and sat down to drink. Engels went to the headquarters of the World Bank on Vincent Street this morning to look for Zhu Jishi, during this time the wind in Manchester was a little tight, several figures of the League of the Righteous were wanted by the British police, and Engels also found that the tail of Scotland Yard was always followed behind his buttocks. So he didn't come to talk to his good friend until a month after Zhu Jishi returned to Manchester.

Seeing his complicated expression, Zhu Jishi smiled slightly and said, "In China, revolution and restoration of sight are probably the same thing. The Chinese have never heard of the republic or anything, and it is better to have an appeal against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Hehe, I, a staunch opponent of the monarchy, would become friends with a future emperor." Engels smiled, "Another friend of mine, Marx, has been in Paris for a while, and in two days he is going to come to England for a trip, and by the way, he has written a book for you, called "The History of the Opium Trade." ”

Marx's "History of the Opium Trade" exists in history, but it was written after the Second Opium War, and in this time and space because of Zhu Jishi, it was advanced to 1844, and it was written in more detail and profoundly.

"That's great, I'm going to read Mr. Marx's great work." Zhu Jishi said, "Friedrich, I have also read your "On the Success or Failure of the Reform of Egypt and the Ottoman Empire", and it is too profound. If Ali Pasha had read this book earlier, he might not have come this far. By the way, do you have any advice for China's reforms? ”

"The advice is actually in the book "On the Success or Failure of the Reform in Egypt and the Ottoman Empire." Engels took a sip of red wine, was silent for a moment, and muttered: "The biggest mistake in Ali Pasha's life was to split the Ottoman Empire!" If the Ottoman Empire were still a whole, it would have been able to avoid itself and Egypt becoming a semi-colony...... Jason, if I'm not mistaken, there are already some European powers that have expressed their intention to nurture you, right? ”

Zhu Jishi was suffocated, and hurriedly calculated in his heart the attitude of several European powers towards him during this time, the British Prince Albert did not say anything, the French also expressed their support for their own school in Hong Kong, and behind Pope Gregory XVI, who gave himself the status of the Ming Dynasty emperor, how could there be no shadow of the French government? That Jesuit Brother Trigo seems to be French!

He nodded and said, "Indeed, it seems that the authorities in Britain and France do take good care of me. ”

"There is no love for no reason on Shijie, and there is no free lunch!" Engels shook his head and said in a straight tone: "Jason, although you are outstanding and have many great inventions and discoveries, what really makes them look at you is probably your Chinese identity, right?" Whether as a promoter of Chinese reform or as a descendant of an orthodox Chinese dynasty determined to overthrow the Tatar dynasty. If you didn't have this identity, your career wouldn't be as smooth sailing as it is now......"

Hearing this, Zhu Jishi couldn't help but recall his entrepreneurial experience over the past year. Indeed, several of his own inventions can be described as great in this era! In Europe, a region where the IP system was already quite well established, success was inevitable. But did your success come faster?

"Hehe, the capitalist system is ruled by wicked people! Jason, you probably don't know anything about the shady business in Europe, and you don't know how many fraudulent methods can make you bankrupt, but you haven't encountered it once, this business has not been so good, right? ”

It seems that he has almost zero experience in business, and the business partners he works with never seem to have bad intentions.

"Prince Albert?"

"What do you say?" Engels laughed, "There are so many liars, profiteers, and robbers in Europe, why haven't any of them found you?" By the way, you don't seem to have even met a thief, have you? ”

Zhu Jishi thought about it carefully, it was true, except for the fact that he often met bad guys when he was working in Oumen Hospital at the beginning, after becoming famous, especially after being found by Prince Albert to be a temporary imperial doctor, he really didn't meet any bad guys again. And that William. Jardine, he was so hostile to himself that he could almost touch it, but he didn't design to frame himself once......

"Prince Albert must have sent agents from Scotland Yard to protect you, and the bad guys have sent them away. As for the villains of high society, their noses and ears are very sensitive! ”

Zhu Jishi whispered: "Friedrich, xiexie, you remind me, but what does Prince Albert want from me?" Can you break it down for me? ”

Prince Albert may have had a good opinion of Zhu Jishi, but he was a ruler, a king, and his actions must have been in the interests of the British Empire, and the foreign monarchs of these European nation-states were all more patriotic than their own nobles.

"Hey, isn't that obvious?" What kind of person was Engels? Of course, Prince Albert's little abacus could not hide from the great mentor, and the mentor smiled and said: "His target is, of course, China, the number one empire in the East!" ”
