0176 Mine competition
Zhilin said: "That's fast. I'm afraid that if it takes a long time, the British will take the mine! I heard that McMahford's Xingtaixing Foreign Company has contacted two British foreign companies, and plans to join forces to bring the mine and power plant down!"
Ida Zongcheng frowned, "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, this is the case. You must figure out whether this ore contains gold and brass, what is the content? What's the quality? I believe the British will not make a decision easily for such a big thing. You must know that this is a big business of five million taels of Chinese official silver!"
Yanagawa Maikami nodded and said, "Hi! Ito Hiromoto, you immediately ask someone to charter a boat to Shanghai, and then send a telegram. I believe you can know the result within five days. Please read the Ω∮ book W÷wΩWΩ.QingKanShu.cC”
Ito Hirofumi bowed a big breeze, "Hi!"
After Ita Sojou left Hirobuki, he asked Yanagawa Maehiro, "Do you think this is a trap? It's really a coincidence that he can actually be a cash mine in a coal mine?"
Liuhara Maikami nodded and said, "Everything may happen. Lord Ida Son Castle, don't be anxious. The initiative is still in our hands. Wait and see. However, there is no problem in doing this preparation first."
Ida Sochichi agreed with Yanagawa Maehiro's opinion. The two of them had been working together for a long time and felt that this opportunity should continue to pay attention.
McMauffle and Hurd also repeatedly discussed that the effort spent was not less than that of the Japanese. McMauffle is a Chinese expert and has been in China for longer than Hurd. McMauffle does not allow such a good opportunity to slip away from his nose.
If it were just a mine, they would not be fighting for it like this. The most important thing is that it was originally a coal mine, but the Qing government agreed to let the Beiyang Yamen cooperate with the outside world by the way of official supervision of the foreign affairs.
Both the Japanese and the British are going to buy Xuan
In this way, the mine contracted by Klinsmann Foreign Company is not an ordinary mine. Please read the book W ∫∫W w Ω W Ω .

The matters of Yuemeng’s mines and power plants made Li Timoto too anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Timothy Li: "Mr. Yuemeng, are you really going to fulfill your promise to Li Hongzhang? Oh my god, are you crazy? Mr. Yuemeng, I really don't know what you think."
Xuan Yuemeng shook her head, "This is not a promise, it's because I have signed a contract with Lord Li Hongzhang Zhongtang. If they can give out five million taels, I have no choice."
Timothy Li held his head with a very anxious expression, "Mr. Yuemeng, aren't you a very smart person? Why are you so confused this time? Do you know what a gold mine is? I really can't believe that someone will throw the gold mountain you have out!"
Zhao Qingluo heard Timothy Li and Xuan Yuemeng scream again and hurried over, "Mr. Timothy Li, since Yuemeng has signed a contract with the Beiyang Yamen, it will be too late to say anything?"
Timothy Li shook his head, "It's not too late, Mr. Yuemeng, if you are embarrassed to go to the Beiyang Yamen, I can now find Li Hongzhang for you. I will put pressure on him in the name of the German government and ask us Klinsmann Foreign Company to continue contracting and mining and power plants! I believe they dare not do anything to us!"
Xuan Yuemeng said lightly: "Mr. Timothy, if you really want to do this, I will not object or agree. My face is not important, but Lord Li Hongzhang will definitely ignore you. You don't need to touch this nail."
Timothy Lee excitedly said, "Mr. Yuemeng, even if this is a nail, I will touch it. As a member of the Klinsmann Foreign Company, I cannot see you as if you didn't see it."
Xuan Yuemeng sighed, "Mr. Timothy, please let me be quiet. You have told me about mines every day these days, and I don't dare to come to work in a foreign business. Please read the book W÷wΩWΩQingKanShu.cC”
Timothy Li nodded, "Okay, Mr. Yuemeng, as long as you don't object, I'll go to the Beiyang Yamen now, I'll go to find Lord Li Hongzhang. If he dares to ignore me, I'll go to Beijing to find the German Consul. Don't worry, I will definitely save the mine."
Xuan Yuemeng covered her head and waved her hand, "Mr. Timothy, I'll do whatever you want. Please let me calm down. Don't come to me again these days. Do whatever you like."
Timothy Lee sighed, "Mr. Yuemeng, I feel very disappointed when you do this. I am anxious about our Klinsmann Company. You seem to be making trouble?"
Xuan Yuemeng said: "The key is that I have signed a contract with the Beiyang Yamen? If you think about the price, I think it's better to talk to the Beiyang Yamen on the price!"
Timothy Lee was enlightened, "Yes, right, what is set, it's not easy to regret it. Yes, I will raise the price so that they can't afford it at all! In this way, they will give up!"
Xuan Yuemeng folded her hands together, "Okay, Mr. Timothy, I will have a small vacation these ten days, please don't come and tell me about the mine again."
Timothy Lee smiled and said, "Okay, no matter whether you can keep the mine this time, in the future, our Klinsmann Foreign Company will not have to worry about money for a long time. Mr. Yuemeng, you can rest for a while."
Xuan Yuemeng continued to fold her hands together, "Thank you, thank you, thank you Mr. Timothy."
Catherine came in, "Is the atmosphere very good today? I just have to speak well, Timothy, if you say loudly to Mr. Yuemeng in the future, I will divorce you."
Timothy Lee was shocked. Although she knew that her wife was joking, it was the first time she heard Catherine say divorce to herself. "Dear, you can't say such things casually. It's very sad. I may be busy these days. I'm sorry. After the mine matter is resolved, I will definitely accompany you more."
After Li Timothy said that, he left in a hurry, while Catherine pulled Zhao Qingluo and spoke. They could communicate easily. The two languages were mixed together, which made Xuan Yuemeng feel very interesting to listen to. At the same time, he could also learn more foreign languages.
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk. I'm going home and sleeping for a few days. It's time to live my life as a one-year-old."
Catherine blinked, "Mr. Yuemeng, otherwise, will I move to your place in the past few days? I will take care of you for a few days and let Sophia live in a Chinese house for a few days. What do you think?"
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "Welcome! This is not a problem, but are you not planning to accompany Miss Qingluo?"
Catherine touched her plump chest, "Yes, I almost forgot, I still have to accompany Miss Qingluo!"
Zhao Qingluo said sourly, "I don't need anyone to accompany you, I can do it alone. Mrs. Catherine, if you want to go to Luyuan to play, you can go."
Catherine smiled and shaved Zhao Qingluo's nose, and smiled at Xuan Yuemeng and said, "Mr. Yuemeng, look, Miss Qingluo doesn't seem to like me being so intimate with you, are you so jealous?"
Xuan Yuemeng lay on the table and smiled and said, "Is there any? I didn't see it?"
Zhao Qingluo spat softly and took Catherine's hand, "Madam Catherine, don't make such jokes. Yuemeng, if you really want to rest for a few days, you can go and rest. I can hold on. I really don't understand. I'll go find you again."
Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "Okay, I'll go back to Luyuan first, I really should take a break!"
Xuan Yuemeng was really in Luyuan for the next few days, and she didn't come out at all. She ate and slept all day long. Xu Xiangzhi rarely saw Yuemeng so honest and didn't run out. She was very surprised, "Yuemeng, what's wrong with you? You don't study or go to a foreign company. Is it rare?"
Xuan Yuemeng spread her hands and lay on the pillow, "I am a one-year-old child, I should have been like this? What's so strange about it? Which one-year-old child studies every day and goes to work every day? I even have to live a fool-like life. My elder brother is stupid, and I have to be stupid!"
Xu Xiangzhi was startled, leaned down and touched Xuan Yuemeng's forehead, "This is not hot, why do you say such words? Don't scare people."
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "From now on, I'm a real one-year-old child, I don't know anything. Stop talking, I'll have to sleep for a while."
Xuan Yuemeng was actually very anxious. The foreign company has reached the most critical time. In another seven or eight days, if things are not settled, if there is no money to pay the workers, something big will happen! He already has tens of thousands of workers!
Timothy Li has been energetic these days. While sending people to pick up the German consul to Tianjin, Li Hongzhang wanted to increase the price.
Li Hongzhang: "Twenty million? Mr. Timothy, your total investment in mines and power plants is said to be less than 500,000 yuan in official silver, right? You want 20 million yuan in official silver now? How is this possible?"
Timothy Li: "It's 20 million, otherwise, please continue to fulfill the contract signed with our Klinsmann Company."
Li Hongzhang shook his head, "This is absolutely impossible. The headquarters and Yuemeng have already agreed, which is only five million taels of official silver. As long as anyone can pay the money, he can transfer the contract to the mine and power plant! The headquarters and Yuemeng have re-concluded a contract."
Timothy Li stood up and said, "Master Zhongtang, I am the boss of Klinsmann Foreign Company. Mr. Yuemeng cannot replace me. I said 20 million, that is 20 million! I asked the German Consul to come forward and he will arrive soon. If you don't agree, we Klinsmann Foreign Company will continue to contract the mines and power plants, and I will not give in at all!"
Timothy Li has been making trouble here for several days, making Li Hongzhang feel very uncomfortable. Timothy Li sticks to Li Hongzhang like a thick skin plaster. (To be continued.)
