Cixi instructed Li Hongzhang to find out whether there was a cash mine contracted by Klinsmann Foreign Company.

Li Hongzhang had to come forward to refute the rumors, saying that the coal mine contracted by Klinsmann Foreign Company did not have a cash mine. Please read the book W÷ｗ∫ＷΩ.

Of course, Hurd and the others didn't believe it, so they clamored to check the coal mine contracted by Klinsmann Foreign Company.

Li Hongzhang: "Don't you even believe the words of our headquarters? We went to check it out in person, and there was indeed no gold mine. Moreover, Klinsmann Foreign Company also agreed to return the power plant and the mining rights of the coal mine to the Beiyang Yamen."

Zhilinqi said: "Where is this? How much does he offer?"

Li Hongzhang: "Five million taels."

Zhilin smiled, "Master Zhongtang, five million taels. If it weren't for the gold mine, what kind of mine would be worth five million taels? Hurry up and take back the coal mine, let's do it yourself! You give it to me and I'll do it!"

Li Hongzhang shook his head, "I did go and see it. I really wanted to say that there is no cash mine. Moreover, we signed a contract with Klinsmann Foreign Company. They have the right to mining, on the condition that the coal mine is used in the power plant or provided to the Beiyang Yamen and cannot be sold to the outside world. They have not violated the contract now. How can we take back their mining industry? You can do it, you pay the five million taels?"

Zhilin stopped talking.

McMafu's eyes rolled and whispered to Hurd beside him.

Hurd asked, "Mr. Li Zhongtang, what you said just now is that as long as you can give out five million taels to Klinsmann Foreign Company, you can subcontract this coal mine. Is this true?"

Zhilin: "Mr. Hurd, what are you saying? This is the first thing I know about! If you want to subcontract, we will be given priority."

Hurd smiled and said, "Mr. Zhilin, do you have five million taels?"

Zhilin: "Hey, I don't have that, you have it? Don't I know how to find someone to work with you?"

Hurd said to Li Hongzhang: "Lord Li Zhongtang, this coal mine plus the power plant, no matter how it counts, it is not worth 500,000 taels. How could you agree to 5 million taels? What if there is really a gold mine?"

Li Hongzhang: "The headquarters is very annoyed by this matter. The headquarters said last time that the headquarters has already checked it, but there is indeed no cash mine. If you want to subcontract coal mines and power plants, you will pay 5 million taels to Klinsmann Foreign Company. Everyone does it. I have also visited the US Concession. It is indeed very convenient to use electricity."

Hurd snorted, "Mr. Li Zhongtang, I know that you have a good relationship with Xuan Yuemeng from Klinsmann. You like this kid very much. Are you favoring Klinsmann?

Li Hongzhang sighed, "Anyway, I have said it all. Believe it or not, whatever you want. Xuan Yuemeng said that to our department anyway. As long as the Beiyang Yamen offers 5 million yuan to buy it, their Klinsmann Foreign Company is willing to hand over the coal mine and power plant to the Beiyang Yamen. My Beiyang Yamen does not have so much energy to do this. Whether it is 5 million taels or 50 million taels, it has nothing to do with the Beiyang Yamen. Everyone calls it. Anyway, we can't use so much coal a year. Our coal is provided free of charge by Klinsmann Foreign Company."

Hurd and a group of foreign merchants returned helplessly when they saw Li Hongzhang talking back and forth.

McMauffo: "If there is a gold mine, it can be calculated based on the minimum reserves of a gold mine, and it can be converted into at least 10 million taels of silver! Five million taels is not much! I just don't know whether this coal mine really has a gold mine or a fake one has a gold mine. If there is a copper mine, it will be even more objective."

Hurd nodded, "Yes, Klinsmann's foreign company is very arrogant. Now he has sent a large number of people from the PGA Police Station to guard it. He can't get into this coal mine at all. We didn't expect to find someone to sneak in. If we saw gold ore with our own eyes, five million would be five million. You can contact several foreign companies and join forces to subcontract the coal mine and power plant."

McMafu nodded and said, "Yes, although five million taels are not bad, we Xingtai Xing Foreign Company, and we can join forces with two or three British foreign companies to eat up this business."

The British and French were hesitating.

Hirofumi Ito was already in a hurry and spent 800,000 taels to form an anti-Klinsmann foreign company alliance. Before he could kill Klinsmann foreign company, a gold mine has emerged.

What made Hirobu Ito, Ida Sochi, Liuhara Maehiro and others even more troubled was that Xuan Yuemeng was still leading the Sino-Japanese negotiations!

Moreover, Xuan Yuemeng's attitude became even tougher. Some of the terms could be negotiated again. Now Xuan Yuemeng made Chen Qin's final attitude. All terms have been set and all must be subject to China's rules. Otherwise, there will be no negotiations! Please leave the Japanese mission!

This is to drive them away.
