0171 Play the big drop
Zhilin shook his head, "I have asked someone to inquire about it, and I don't know what he sells in this gourd, but don't worry about him. As long as we can hold on for a month, I guess Xuan Yuemeng will definitely be finished!"
Hirobu Ito smiled and nodded, "What are our strengths? Dozens of foreign businesses, and there are British consulates and French consulates behind us, and our Japanese government support. Don't be nervous. We will definitely not lose to Xuan Yuemeng this time! For those who break the rules of the game, we need to work together to severely punish them. Please ∮Read the book W w Ω W Ω .QingKan S�hu.cC"
The two are discussing fiercely.
Li Hongzhang was a little unable to sit still in the Beiyang Yamen.
Li Hongzhang: "Xingsun, foreigners and Yuemeng fight, it was not our business, but now it involves the business in Zhili. Now that the merchants have all stopped, the court will definitely ask questions if the matter is out."
Sheng Xuanhuai: "Mr. Zhongtang, don't worry too much. After the court asks us, we will report the truthfully, let them fight, so that no one can take our Beiyang Yamen seriously."
Li Hongzhang sighed, "Yuemeng, this kid, has such a great influence? Can he call on the entire Zhili business community to listen to him? The headquarters said that the Zhili business community would jointly recommend him as the president of the Zhili Chamber of Commerce? This matter has been short and nothing, but over time, it will paralyze the entire market! The shops of all sizes are closed, and now the prices are soaring. In the end, we are still suffering. We are not having a good time, right? Are they willing to pay money with Yuemeng like this? This matter has messed up my mind, and I really can't figure it out."
Sheng Xuanhuai shook his head, "Master Zhongtang, I can't figure out what's going on for a moment. The foreigners were led by the Japanese this time. The purpose is very clear, to knock down Klinsmann Foreign Company, but Xuan Yuemeng wouldn't have to take this step. Don't he know the power of dozens of foreign companies? Or did Xuan Yuemeng's money fall from the sky?"
Li Hongzhang: "I haven't asked about the negotiations with the Japanese in the past few days. Does Yuemeng still participate in negotiations with the Japanese delegation every day?"
Sheng Xuanhuai nodded, "Xuan Yuemeng will go to Tianjin Customs Road every day and leave within a few minutes. However, she is very tough and insists on signing a treaty that is beneficial to our Qing Dynasty! She refuses to give in at a single step, and of course the Japanese refuse. I think, if I keep dragging this time, this treaty will never be settled. I don't know what Xuan Yuemeng thinks. It seems that she wants us to negotiate a contract with the Japanese this time, it will be a waste. Lord Zhongtang, hurry up and take back the matter that lets Xuan Yuemeng participate in the negotiation with the Japanese, so let Chen Qin and Ying Baoshi do it themselves, and decide the negotiation with the Japanese as soon as possible and end the matter early. The conditions of both sides are similar, so you can finally seal it. Please read the book W÷w Ω W Ω .∮Qing Kan Shu.cC”
Li Hongzhang frowned, "You go down first."
No one believes that money will fall from heaven.
Xuan Yuemeng believes it!
Xuan Yuemeng temporarily raised two million taels to fight. Did the money really fall from the sky? Obviously not. It was the usury that Mr. Meng had someone to go to the money house in Suzhou half a month ago!
The interest rate is fifty, a month-long period of which, with the commercial land in the entire US concession as collateral for his agricultural areas, that is, if he cannot repay the money in a month, he will pay three million taels, otherwise he will go bankrupt.
What kind of gamble is this!?
Everything was done in secret. If it were to borrow usury in modern times, the cute young master would never consider it. Doing business has a rhythm, and being eager for quick success and instant profit is the enemy of doing business!
When doing business, you must keep a playful attitude, and the money is like flowing water. If you maintain a competitive attitude, you will definitely be bleeding. Add to the rhythm of going to the rooftop in minutes.
In another two days, everyone was shocked.
It turned out that Klinsmann Foreign Company not only did not slow down the construction progress of the US Concession Wharf, but also took advantage of the gap in stopping various factories to put all the workers on the wharf, increasing the construction progress of the wharf, and adding another wharf to the Tianjin River where it entered the sea!
The construction project of one wharf has now become two wharfs. It is also reported that Klinsmann Foreign Company is recruiting workers in a large number of ways, and they have already been published in the newspaper!
Everyone was completely confused!
All forces are hurrying to inquire about what the US Concession and Klinsmann Foreign Company are doing, but no one can find out. They only know that a new dock is added, and that Klinsmann Foreign Company will set up a ship company within the year!
At this time, there was no ship company in Tianjin, and all the freighters were basically from Shanghai.
Timothy Li was shocked and saw a huge sum of 2 million taels of Chinese official silver on the accounts of the foreign company. Please read the book Ww∫W∮.

Timothy Li came to find Mr. Meng, "Mr. Yuemeng, have you invested in foreign companies again?"
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Timothy Lee was very curious, "Can you tell me where did you get the money?"
Xuan Yuemeng smiled slightly: "I can't tell you for the time being, Mr. Timothy, I have adjusted my investment plan this month, and I have started all the projects and recruit a lot of workers. Please go and run at full speed immediately!"
Timothy Li frowned and asked softly: "Mr. Yuemeng, aren't you going to borrow usury?"
When Zhao Qingluo heard Timothy Li say this, she looked at Yuemeng nervously, "Did you borrow usury?"
Xuan Yuemeng smiled slightly: "I am here every day, and you haven't seen it. Besides, who would borrow 2 million taels of usury to me?" (The reason why Young Master Meng chose to borrow 2 million taels of usury to Suzhou was that the financial management company in Suzhou and Shanghai at this time was that it was too far away from Tianjin. Even if he borrowed utterly, there was a news that was spreading. By the time he arrived in Tianjin, the news had long turned old news.)
Timothy Lee: "Then did your money fall from heaven?"
Xuan Yuemeng narrowed her eyes and looked at Timothy Li, "It's not falling from the sky, but growing from the ground!"
Li Timothy said: "What grew out of the field? Our foreign company's commercial land has long been unsold? How do you make money on land?"
Young Master Meng said seriously: "Mr. Timothy, go do your business. I will tell you what you should tell you. I will naturally tell you what you shouldn't ask. Please stay calm and have the helm. What you want to do is just do what you are in front of you with all your heart!"
Timothy Li took off her hat and bent down to the cute young master and bowed, "Yes, I understand."
Xuan Yuemeng knew that Timothy Li was also concerned about her, and was still secretly reviewing her. Is she getting too close to Timothy Li? Timothy Li is now worried about her decision-making issues.
Zhao Qingluo: "I don't ask where your money comes from, but I'm very worried."
Xuan Yuemeng gently held Zhao Qingluo's hand, "Don't worry, you go and rest for a few days now. The days ahead will be very busy. I want to compete with foreigners for a big shot!"
Zhao Qingluo glanced at Xuan Yuemeng suspiciously and didn't say anything.
Hurd, McMafort, Roshua, Witoma, and dozens of managers from foreign companies all gathered together, and they brought Jilin and Hirobuki Ito.
McMauffe: "Our foreign company will resume purchasing from Qing Dynasty tomorrow. Raw silk and porcelain, these things cannot be cut off. The European market uses fixed demand! Also, I can't stand the price war with Klinsmann foreign company like this! Look, Klinsmann foreign company doesn't take it seriously at all! Not only has the workers been dismissed, but it is also expanding recruitment, and it also has to set up a ship company! What is the concept of a ship company? At least fifty ships are called ship companies? A cheapest cargo ship costs more than 50,000 taels, fifty taels, at least three million! And I heard that they will let the ship company start this year, that is, the docks, ship companies, and ships of the ship company will be completed before the end of the year! In less than a year, at least eight million taels of Chinese official silver will be taken out! It is higher than the annual fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty. How can we compete with Klinsmann foreign company?"
McMauffe said a lot in a rage.
The managers of foreign companies were talking a lot. Even the most powerful Xingtai Xing Company did not plan to continue playing with Klinsmann. Many people were shaken and felt that fighting this price war with Klinsmann had no chance of winning at all.
The big advantage is that it has great power and strong strength, but how can dozens of foreign companies be as big as the chamber of commerce led by the Cute Young Master?
The strength of any two or three foreign companies is far beyond that of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce! Because the national industry and commerce of this period are as fragile as newborn babies.
Foreign merchants are still having meetings.
Zhilin suddenly received a piece of information from workers who were stationed in the coal mine contracted by Klinsmann Foreign Company.
Zhilin shouted: "I found the reason why Klinsmann Foreign Company is so rich! The coal mines and copper mines appeared in the coal mines they contracted!"
Many foreign merchants were in an uproar.
Gold and copper mines have appeared in coal mines!?
The gold, silver, copper and iron of the Qing Dynasty were monopolized by the imperial court.
Hirobuki Ito couldn't believe it: "How can there be gold and copper mines in coal mines? Is this impossible? Could it be a plan? The Chinese are very cunning."
Zhilin sighed, "It's absolutely impossible to be wrong. I have been installing this inside line for a long time. It's very reliable. This is the latest news I have received!"
McMafu nodded, "Mr. Zhilin's information is very likely. This can explain why the Clinsmann Foreign Company can still set up a ship company with great fanfare in such a difficult situation. You must know that even the most powerful British business in China has no single ability to set up a ship company! At least five foreign companies join forces to have this financial resources. This is terrible! The gold mine was actually discovered by Clinsmann Foreign Company in the coal mine!?"
Hurd said angrily: "They must not have appeared now, they must have appeared long ago, so they asked the Beiyang Yamen to rent the mine!"
Weituma: "Don't the gold, silver, copper and iron in the Qing Dynasty belong to the government's control? Is it not allowed to mine privately? Let's put pressure on the Qing court! It's okay to let them discover gold mines. In the future, I don't know how much gold will be dug out for this Klinsmann foreign company."
There are many foreign businessmen who have different opinions, but Hirofumi Ito never believes that he can dig gold and copper mines in coal mines? He has a little common sense, but he also thinks it is unlikely.
The next day, news of gold emerged from the coal mine contracted by Klinsmann Foreign Company spread throughout Zhili.
The Chinese Morning Post reported on this matter extensively.
Huacui Evening News desperately refuted the rumors and said that it was absolutely impossible!
Who is right and wrong in the two newspapers confused everyone.
Zhao Qingluo held the newspaper in surprise, "A gold mine has appeared in our coal mine?"
Xuan Yuemeng had no expression on her face, "How is it possible? Don't listen to people outside talking nonsense, there is nothing."
Timothy Li also came to find Xuan Yuemeng at this time, "Mr. Yuemeng, is this true? A gold mine has appeared in our coal mine? No wonder I said, why do you dare to recruit so many workers and start a horse and ship company?"
Xuan Yuemeng still replied: "Can I still lie to you two? It's impossible. How can there be cash in the coal mine? Just think about it and know that this is Zhilin making a fool of himself. This is spreading rumors, don't believe it." (To be continued.)
