0031 Buy American Concession
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "I am rich and willful. Please read the book WW × Ω W ∮.∮QingKanShu.cC You have all met my second brother, and he will be your second brother from now on."
Most of these people were older than Xuan Yuewen, but they all lowered their heads and shouted: "Second Brother."
Xuan Yuewen found it funny, "Dazhi and Dali, why do you call me? You never called me before. Besides, you are both older than me."
Dali smiled and said, "Second brother, this is not recognized from you. We are all from the cute young master. We have to recognize from the young master. In the future, even if we meet Yubing, we have to call you sister."
Xuan Yuewen found it funny, but couldn't find the reason for it, and smiled: "Uh, Yuemeng, what's the matter with me?"
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "It's very simple. If you take the time to teach them how to recognize words, you will recognize the most basic one. If you know how to recognize five hundred words, you will not be considered illiterate. You have to teach them the Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classics to recognize them."
Xuan Yuewen is a generous person, "Okay. This can be included in me. Yuemeng, your brother doesn't want to study anymore, I want to do business with you. How big are you? You are buying a car and a buyer slave. Your sister-in-law is nagging here all day long. If I can't pass the exam next year, she will be nagging to death."
Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "Then you just take the exam for a scholar."
Xuan Yuewen: "Uh... do you think you are our scholar? You can take the exam as soon as possible. Uncle San hasn't passed the exam even though he is almost thirty."
When Xuan Yuemeng heard Xuan Yuewen mention Xuan Hongyu, she remembered that she hadn't seen Xuan Hongyu for a long time. He was busy all this time and left early in the morning. "I haven't seen him for a long time. Have you seen him?"
Xuan Yuewen smiled and said, "Don't he come back every day? Where do you think he can go? He is just afraid of his second uncle and dare not meet him."
Xuan Yuemeng sighed, and when she thought of Xuan Hongbo, she became angry. In addition, Xuan Hongbo's friend Zhilin destroyed the Wu family's ban. Xuan Yuemeng also settled a small part of the account on Xuan Hongbo's head. If Xuan Hongbo hadn't attracted people, it wouldn't have been like this! Xuan Yuemeng never counted himself in settlement. He didn't think that if he hadn't cheated Zhilin, the Wu family would not have had such a bad luck!
The guard squad has been available, and the candidates for literacy for the guard squad have also been found. Xuan Yuemeng is still thinking about Wu Laosan's affairs. If he can use Wu Laosan as a martial arts coach and follow him, it would be really beautiful! "Dali, you will go and see what the Wu family is doing every day in the future. Let me tell me when you come back tomorrow, you will go and inquire if Wu family is still in Tianjin?"
Of course, Xuan Yuewen also knew about the Wu family class. Although he didn't know what happened to the Wu family class, it was spread all over Tianjin. Everyone thought that Xuan Yuemeng made such a big sum of money at one time dragged down the Wu family class. Please read the book W w Ω W Ω W Ω .

cC Xuan Yuewen listened to Xuan Yuemeng's concern for the situation of the Wu family, and said that Xuan Yuemeng touched Xuan Yuemeng's head because of guilt, "It's all fate, don't blame yourself too much."
Xuan Yuemeng, who had a sleep, let go of her negative emotions. There are many difficult things to do. Most of the things in the world are difficult to deal with. Sometimes she is unwilling to do even if she washes her hair alone, unless someone helps you wash it.
This is what Xuan Yuemeng thought when Xu Xiangzhi and Xiaohua helped Xuan Yuemeng wash her hair.
Xu Xiangzhi gently touched Xuan Yuemeng's head, while she was lying on Xiaohua's legs, which was quite comfortable.
Xuan Yuemeng asked Dali and Xuan Daniuxuan and the two Niuxuan and the three Niuxuan to accompany him to the concession to find Timothy Li.
Timothy Li: "Mr. Yuemeng, you finally come. I have been looking for places around the past two days to see where is suitable for renting a venue and running a foreign company. Do you want to rent a venue or buy a venue? If these companies say the price is appropriate, you can also consider selling it."
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "I neither plan to rent a venue nor buy a ready-made house."
Li Timothy khan, "Does Mr. Yuemeng want to buy land and build a building by himself? No need to worry, right? There are so many empty houses in the British Concession and the American Concession. This place is not very prosperous and the house prices are not high. Building a house by yourself may be higher than buying ready-made ones. And when it comes to empty land, there is definitely not much room for ready-made houses. I like a few of them, don't you plan to take a look first?"
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "Mr. Timothy, I thought about it all day yesterday. Have you ever thought about which concession our foreign company is best for opening?"
Timothy Lee: "Let's do in the British Concession, because the British Concession has the best public security, the most perfect management, and the largest flow of people, it has become the core of the concession area. The French Concession and the US Concession are basically unmanaged, and public security is not enough. If you do business, public security is a condition that needs to be considered."
Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "You are right, but the security issues do not have to be managed by the concession. As long as we have good business, we have the strength to manage them. Didn't I buy a gun? If the business is good, we can also talk to the concession to help them manage the police station and increase the Chinese arrest. Wouldn't the public security be better?"
Li Timothy heard Xuan Yuemeng’s fresh words, “He has never thought about this question before. Please read the book ∮ΩWw∮WΩ.

Xuan Yuemeng didn't think of it himself. He has seen too much about Shanghai Beach. Isn't Huang Jinrong the general Huakuen in the French Concession? Just relying on the title of Huakuen, he has eaten all over the Shanghai Beach and become a famous tycoon. Of course, Xuan Yuemeng's ambition is definitely not to be a Huang Jinrong, but to say that Huakuen is a lesson that can definitely be used by Huakuen. If he remembers it well, it will not be available to Shanghai Beach until twenty or thirty years later.
Timothy Li: "So, Mr. Yuemeng, are you planning to choose the address of our foreign company in the French Concession or the US Concession?"
Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "The location of the US Concession is not as good as that of the US Concession. I have thought about it. There are almost no people in the US Concession now, and the share is less than half. There is only a small street, and most of the river is empty. I want to apply to the US Consulate to buy all this large area."
Timothy Lee: “…”
Timothy Li was completely speechless. Boss, boss, do you really think about everything? Buy most of the American Concession at one time? Do you know how much it costs to buy a piece of land? How could someone sell it to you?
Xuan Yuemeng: "Let's go, you go to the US Consul William now, see what he says first, test his words, and see how much it costs, and then think about what to do next."
Timothy's head shook like a wave drum, "Mr. Yuemeng, please spare me, do you think this is buying a carriage? What a big project? It must be contacted by the German consulate and the US consulate!"
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "You are very smart. That's what I mean. You can say that you are talking about this matter privately for the German consulate. Don't I guess the French-Prussian War will definitely end with Germany's victory? We are all Germans now, so foreign companies must not choose to open in the French Concession. If the location is not good, it's better to open in the British Concession. But if we open in the British Concession, when can we do the old foreign companies like ours that have been rooted in the Qing Dynasty for a long time?"
Li Timothy was too confused, "But, Mr. Yuemeng, I still didn't understand. The large area along the river was full of open and wastelands with gravels? What are you going to do? The streets have not even formed. It is said that there was a mess of Chinese graves before. It was scary at night. I have never been there. Have I bought it to enjoy the river view? Sorry, Mr. Yuemeng, I really can't see what value the wasteland has. Moreover, what does this have to do with the German consulate? Our German business is in Shanghai, only one consulate in Beijing, and there is no German concession here."
Seeing that Timothy Li had a disagreement with her own ideas, Xuan Yuemeng was not in a hurry and patiently explained her thoughts: "Mr. Timothy Germany won the Franco-Prussian War, we can join forces with the German Foreign Company in Beijing and Tianjin to ask Germany to set up a consulate in Tianjin. Then can the large area of land we bought be divided into a piece for the German consulate, and we can even propose to donate a consulate. Moreover, if we can really buy this large area of land, we can open it ourselves, level it, build river embankments, and build streets. Why can't we turn this open space into the next Shanghai Bund? Have you ever thought that if it can be realized, the entire Tianjin Beitan belongs to us. Isn't this a big business? If the location is not good, we will turn it into a good one, so won't the land be valuable?"
Let something that was originally worthless and appreciate after buying it. This is doing business. Xuan Yuemeng's concept was not changed due to Timothy's opposition and doubts.
Timothy Li was almost shocked by Xuan Yuemeng, "Mr. Yuemeng, I have to admit that you are the person I have ever seen the most dare to think and do the most. However, this is too unreasonable and impossible, right? How could the Americans sell most of the concessions to us? Moreover, even if you buy such a large open space and have to open as you said, how much does it cost? It depends on your 100,000 taels of silver? If you don't have one million taels of silver, I don't have to ask at all, although these lands are open spaces, one million taels of Chinese official silver, which is only a lot. Even if your family gives you another five million taels of silver, everything you said cannot be
To achieve this, Mr. Yuemeng, should we be more at ease? First find a place to open a foreign company, and then as you told me, we will go to the Beiyang Yamen and fight for business from them, so that we can get tens of Huai troops to transfer to the banks of the Grand Canal, dig moats and build dikes, and clear rivers. So many people need to eat and dress, it will be better for us to get this project. And, didn’t you say that Li Hongzhang is planning to build an arsenal and barracks and expand the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau? So many businesses are eager to fight for, why do you have to spend such a big deal on choosing a foreign company address? I really can’t understand."
Xuan Yuemeng: "Mr. Timothy, I ask you to talk about this matter. There is no conflict with us when we go to Beiyang Yamen to fight for cooperation projects. Don't think too simple about everything. If we can't win a single cooperation project, will our foreign company stop? Please believe me, although this project is big and doesn't sound realistic, but you don't lose confidence easily if you haven't done anything. OK, Mr. Timothyyy, it's time for you to go to the US Consulate to show your demeanor."
Timothy Li shook his head. He was a little impatient, but when Mr. Yuemeng talked to him, he was always calm. Sometimes Timothy Li suspected that Xuan Yuemeng was reincarnated? He didn't have any sign of a child at all. He looked like a worldly old man. But he was just a worker, and he had to bite the bullet if he didn't want to go. Timothy Li was instructed by Xuan Yuemeng to go to the US concession.
Williams also heard about Timothy Lee at Xuan’s house a few days ago. Although the current company Clinsmann has no address, it is very famous. The company Clinsmann is still registered in the US concession, and Williams warmly welcomed Timothy Lee.
Xuan Yuemeng did not go up, but asked Dali and Daniu to accompany Li Timothy upstairs. He and Xuan Erniu Xuan Sanniu were waiting downstairs. Xuan Yuemeng was sitting in the car, Xuan Erniu Xuan Sanniu was sitting in the car driving position, and the other stood outside the car window to keep alert. These were all what Xuan Yuemeng asked. Although the concession was more peaceful than outside, since the Wu family accident, Xuan Yuemeng's vigilance has increased a lot, and she was worried that Zhilin and Xuan Hongbo would attack him.
Although Zhilin has never had contact with Xuan Yuemeng, Xuan Yuemeng was full of fear of this person. Many fears were like this. She was directly placed in front of her and was not afraid. She didn't know when she would come, and that was the most terrifying thing.
The reason why Xuan Yuemeng thought of making a fuss about buying land was that she was not optimistic about winning the contract for the Beiyang Yamen. Faced with such powerful opponents as Hurd and Zhilin, whether it was Hua or Yang, Klinsmann Foreign Company was just a little ant.
It took Timo Lee to get off for a long time.
Xuan Yuemeng: "How is the conversation?"
Timothy Lee: "I didn't expect that the American Consul Mr. Williams actually talked to me about buying land. He said he wanted to ask what the United States meant. I tested his words. He said that in his heart, this land would cost at least five million taels of Chinese official silver, and would always belong to American territory."
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "He really dares to say, American territory? He forgot whose country he is in! However, what you told me reflects at least two information. First, the Americans do not attach much importance to the US concession and have already thought of letting other countries open land. Second, the United States currently has a good relationship with Germany, or is willing to develop relations with Germany. Therefore, we must quickly start contacting the German consulate and react our ideas! You can now send a telegram to the German consulate to clarify the matter and ask the German consulate to help us communicate with the US consulate. Our offer is 500,000 taels of Chinese official silver. In addition, to strive for the victory of the Franco-Prussian War, our Klinsmann Foreign Company hosted the celebration of the victory of the Franco-Prussian War in the Qing Dynasty."
Li Timothy was sweating wildly. He just offered 5 million Chinese official silver, but you got 500,000 Chinese official silver at once? Moreover, can you get 500,000 Chinese official silver? But Li Timothy did it immediately according to Xuan Yuemeng's wishes.
Timothy Li now doesn't like to work with Xuan Yuemeng because the two of them have too many deviations in their ideas. Timothy Li thinks that Xuan Yuemeng is a delusional and is too unrealistic.
