Two French people came to visit, Hu Xueyan is okay, after all, it is about silk, these two French representatives in Shanghai's economic circles, it is a must, but this Sheng Xuanhuai is Li Hongzhang's first-class henchman, although the two parties are usually smiling, but inside is to wish that the other party would die, the surface is polite, but will never go to each other's door, today Sheng Xuanhuai is uninvited, night owls enter the door, there must be no good thing! Hu Xueyan glanced at the two Frenchmen, the two Frenchmen did not say hello, and sat down on the spacious and luxurious sofa, Leon is five short figures, with a big belly, the button of the sky blue silk vest was pressed by the round belly and seemed to be about to explode, he patted his stomach and spoke to Hu Xueyan, speaking very fluent Chinese, with a disdainful smile on his face, "Mr. Hu, your ticket business is very good, and it has already caught up with half of the ticket number of Shanghai Tang, right?" ”

Hu Xueyan smiled slightly, "Don't dare to be, Hu is just a small fight, can't compare to the posture of BNP Paribas, Mr. President, you have a lot of money, there is a big country like France in the back, no matter how bold I Hu is, I don't dare to name my ticket number the capital of a country, Bank of Beijing, I can't think of such an honor, Mr. President is not looking down on my small business, these days BNP Paribas is also enjoying Qingfu, right?" ”

A hint of embarrassment flashed on Leon's face, the crowd was raging, the French are now a bit like rats crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, no one cares about BNP Paribas, everyone is too late to dodge, plus even prepare a large amount of money to prepare for the purchase of silk, but the silk purchased is insignificant, I am afraid that a random garment store in Paris can digest the silk cloth woven from these silks, so it is naturally very leisurely, Hu Xueyan implied sarcasm, Leon didn't have time to say anything, Elspen was a thin and tall red-haired man, he is very impulsive, he is not close to Hu Xueyan, and threw a newspaper on the coffee table, "Mr. Hu, I don't talk nonsense with you, you know what to do next after reading this newspaper!" ”

"I Hu someone knows what to do, and it's not your turn to teach the Frenchman," Hu Xueyan said without saltiness, then ignored Elspan, and turned his head to look at Sheng Xuanhuai, at this time he vaguely knew that the French had made a move against him, but he didn't know how they made a move, at this time, he had to understand what Sheng Xuanhuai meant, "Master Sheng, your big Buddha came to my small temple, I really don't dare to be, dare to ask the adult, the adult and the French are coming together, are they ready to join forces with the French to deal with Hu someone?" ”

Hu Xueyan struck the match, Piri Yangqiu said such a stinging sentence, Sheng Xuanhuai didn't think it was angry, waved his hand and smiled, "There, I just happened to come with the two gentlemen, there is absolutely no such meaning, Boss Hu must not misunderstand, my business, and I am not busy, let's wait for Boss Hu to talk to the two big businessmen first."

Hu Xueyan turned his head to look at the governor Leon with a pipe in his mouth, Leon stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, Hu Xueyan thought slightly, picked up the newspaper on the coffee table, opened it casually, his pupils tightened suddenly, and he stood up, "What is this!" ”

"This is the content of the Chinese newspaper," Leon said with a smile, "Mr. Hu doesn't know Western characters, doesn't he know Chinese characters now?" ”

"I naturally know that this is a Chinese character," Hu Xueyan's originally calm and calm appearance was torn off, his face was red and white, his hands couldn't help but tremble violently, and his nose opened, "But this thing, Italian news," he threw the newspaper on the coffee table, "It can't be true!" It must have been made up by you! ”

"Mr. Hu, please don't worry, although this is a newspaper edited by our people in France, but of course the content on it is cautious and reliable, Italy's Po River Plain where there is a bumper harvest of silk, last year's silk production can provide France for about four months, this year there is ready to expand the scale, and then the silk business," Elspen, who had been angry for a long time, said happily at this time, "It seems that there is no need for you to trouble Mr. Hu, we can use cheaper silk in France." ”

A few stewards waiting indoors looked at each other in disbelief, the silk in the world has always been produced in China, and eight or nine out of ten Chinese silk are produced in these places in the south of the Yangtze River, and the silk in other places can only be played and drummed, but I don't know that Italy actually quietly came out with such a big news, "France and the Kingdom of Italy are bordering, and the transportation is very convenient, and the price of silk probably doesn't need the price of two dollars, but it's a pity," Leon lamented matter-of-factly, " Mr. Elspan's Silk Association probably doesn't need loans and funds from BNP Paribas Shanghai anymore. ”

Hu Xueyan only felt that his eyes were blackened, he couldn't help but be shocked, looking at the two Frenchmen looking at him with a cruel smile, he calmed down, with a slight disdain, and his originally trembling voice calmed down, "Lord Sheng, but I don't know, you know about it?" ”

"I also knew that it didn't take long," Sheng Xuanhuai said with a smile, "for fear that this matter was a rumor and could not be taken seriously, I also sent a telegram to the Italian ambassador in Beijing, but it turned out that this matter was actually true, before coming, so I greeted the governor and the political envoy first, so as not to let them know." ”

Hu Xueyan was mad angrily, okay, everyone greeted him, but he was still kept in the dark, "There are regulations early in the morning, no one is allowed to publish newspapers without permission, this trick of your country is not difficult for me, this is just gossip, it can't be true." ”

"I have studied the regulations of your country very thoroughly," Leon Shi stood up, the purpose of coming here today has been achieved, "Units or individuals who publish less than 1,000 copies of the newspaper without authorization shall be fined 1,000 taels of silver, which is nothing to BNP Paribas, which has a lot of money now, and I forgot to tell you, Mr. Hu, when I first entered the door, the newsboy was already selling this newspaper." Elspan also stood up, approached Hu Xueyan, and looked at him fiercely with fierce eyes, "I want you to understand, no one should want to go against France, the price of silk is about to fall now, I see if the silk you bought is ready to be stored in the coffin." ”

The two of them left laughing wildly, Hu Xueyan couldn't hold back any longer, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground unconscious. (To be continued.) )
