0033 Two million taels

Zhilin was stunned and really didn't dare to move forward. It was not because he was afraid of Xuan Yuemeng, but because Li Timothy behind Xuan Yuemeng. There was a foreign business behind Xuan Yuemeng! No matter how awesome I was in the Qing Dynasty, it was also involved in foreigners. Cixi was nothing, let alone him. Please read the book WwWwW.

Xuan Yuemeng pointed out that Zhilin had burned the opera troupe, but Zhilin was still guilty! He had no way to argue. This caused a few people watching the fun and whispering to the Beiyang Yamen.

Zhilin roared angrily: "Which dog eye can you see it was my troupe? I said you were the ones who burned it! Boy, don't be crazy, sooner or later, you will be killed. "

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "What I just said is that you only dare to attack the opera troupe without power, power and backstage. If you have the guts, you will burn our house. I didn't say it was the opera troupe you burned? Oh, no need to ask, everyone can hear it clearly? He is not asking himself. I didn't point out how he started. He said that he used the method of burning fire!"

Zhilin was furious and trembled all over: "When did I not tell myself, when did I say I burn it with fire?"

Xuan Hongbo hurriedly stopped Zhilin, "Forget it, we are a person with a status, don't talk nonsense to this kid, sir, let's go."

In a rage, Zhilin was pulled away by Xuan Hongbo. Xuan Yuemeng just smiled plainly.

Inside the carriage.

Li Timothy asked Xuan Yuemeng curiously: "Mr. Yuemeng, didn't you say you didn't like it just now, and it wouldn't prevent you from becoming a business friend? Why bother to anger Zhilin? This person is very powerful in the Qing court. In this case, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with the Qing yamen in the future?"

Xuan Yuemeng: "Mr. Li Timothy, what I just talked about is the relationship between us and Xintaixing Foreign Company. Although Xintaixing Foreign Company is also a collusion between officials and businessmen, their commercial components are greater than those of officials, so we have the possibility of cooperation with them. This guy is different. He is the kind of person who relies entirely on the power of the country for money. Moreover, this person who is narrow-minded and scheming and does everything evil, once he offends him, he can only find a way to get rid of him. We do not have any possibility of cooperation with them. Since this is the case, it is better to bring this lurking enemy to the open and let them take more care of it when they want to deal with us! If we are assassinated one day, people will be the first to think of this guy. ∮Please ∮Read the book Ww∮W∮W∮.∮QingKanShu.cC”

Timothy Li nodded and agreed with Xuan Yuemeng's statement, but his brows were still furious, because Xuan Yuemeng offended this time was not an ordinary person.

Xuan Yuemeng didn't ignore Zhilin, and he didn't act irritatingly just now. He just wanted to deliberately anger Zhilin.

McMafort was surprised that Timothy Li and Xuan Yuemeng would come to their foreign business. Looking down from the window on the third floor, Timothy Li's luxurious carriage was a grade higher than the carriage he was riding in. "Let them come in, I'll see them."

McMauff's assistant, "Sir, we have been hurt by them, and the losses are so great! Why do you still want to see them? We should call on all British foreign companies to boycott this Klinsmann foreign company and not do business with him. Tell others who do business with them will be the enemy of our new Taixing foreign company."

McMafu shook his head, "Competition in business is not what you think. If you don't let everyone contact him, you can't stop him from doing business. The best way to limit his opponent is to maintain a relationship with his opponent and see what he wants to do? Remember, we are not pirates."

Assistant: "Yes. I'll go and invite them up now."

Xuan Yuemeng did not go up. He didn't need to use him to contact foreigners, and he didn't like to show up too much.

Timothy Lee was very excited when she came out of Xintaixing Foreign Company. "I really didn't expect that I told Mr. McMauffle as you taught me. I first apologized for what happened that day, and said that if I could cooperate with Xintaixing Foreign Company, I would be willing to work even if I could not make any profits. Mr. McMauffle not only did not blame the rewards that day, but also said that in the future, there would be some large-scale projects that would be allocated to us."

Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "Didn't I say it? There is no eternal enemy in business. Even if it is still an enemy in its core, it can be converted into friends at any time on the surface. Since Mr. McMahford can make his business so big, he will not even understand such a simple truth. The most important thing is to show our strength so that people may take us seriously. He is just talking casually now, and he doesn't have to be too happy. ∫ Please read the book W×ΩW∮. ∫QingKanShu.cC”

A few days later.

One morning, Xuan Yuemeng discussed business affairs with Timothy Li early in the morning. Xuan Yuemeng liked to do things early. In the morning, it was the beginning of the day. Whether it was the energy of a person or to find someone, it was more efficient at this time. The last important reason was that only when he woke up early could Xuan Yuemeng get rid of Zeng Siping, otherwise Zeng Siping would be allowed to stay at the gate of her house and insisted on pestering him to play with her. This was also a very troublesome thing for Xuan Yuemeng to worry about.

At the request of Li Timothy, the German Consulate in Beijing contacted the US Consulate in Tianjin. The German Consulate did this from the perspective of encouraging German merchants, and also agreed to Li Timothy's that if Germany had allowed them to host the celebration of the victory of the Franco-Prussian War after the victory of the Franco-Prussian War.

The communication between the two consulates is effective, and the US consulate originally intended to ask other countries to help open the US concession. The US domestic government does not attach any importance to the US concession in Tianjin because most of the US business is in the Yangtze River Basin.

The final consensus reached between the two sides was that the reserve price of the land that Xuan Yuemeng liked must not be less than 2 million taels of Chinese official silver, and the amount must be paid in five times within five years, and the amount must not be less than 400,000 taels of Chinese official silver.

This is the lowest transaction price and transaction conditions.

Such a large piece of land is very cheap even if it is placed outside the concession! The main reason is that the US consulate and the United States cannot think of what the purpose of such a wasteland has. If it is idle all year round, it is purely a waste! If it is to be opened, it will cost at least tens of millions of taels of Chinese official silver. Even if it is opened, it is still a big question whether it can recover 2 million taels of official silver. Anyway, Williams thinks that whoever wants to open such a piece of land is a fool. Not only Williams, but the entire foreign business district knows that Clinsmann Foreign Company wants to buy this land, and no foreign company competes with Clinsmann Foreign Company. Everyone thinks that Clinsmann Foreign Company is crazy.

Xuan Yuemeng: "Two million taels are indeed not expensive."

Li Timothy hurriedly said, "Mr. Yuemeng, do you have so much money? You should not think about this business anymore! Do you know what people say about our Klinsmann foreign company now? We are fools! How could we pay 2 million taels of Chinese official silver within five years? Do you want our foreign company to bear such a huge debt in the early stage? And have you ever thought about it? This land is based on the river. If you don't build a river embankment, it cannot be used at all. It is not like you can build a house by taking it. I really couldn't imagine that this land has any commercial value."

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "I don't know if you are a fool, but what you said is that we don't have so much money, which is indeed a big problem. I need to consider the payment of 400,000 taels! Okay, go and do your business, I think about it again. Do you want to go have breakfast with me?"

Timothy Li shook his head, "I have a lot to do. I haven't established the organizational structure you gave me for. Mr. Yuemeng, are you sure you want to recruit so many engineers? Are we starting a construction business? What do we need so many construction technicians to do?"

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "If you want an architectural technician, of course you are doing construction. Moreover, construction, machinery, and manufacturing are all the same. Construction belongs to a major with rich knowledge. We either don't do it, but we must do the best. Reserve talents is very important. I won't let you stop, so you can keep recruiting. Just play together if you have nothing to do. Spend more time to cultivate feelings with them. A good relationship is a good start, and everyone should have a sense of belonging to our foreign company. Build the technical team of the foreign company as soon as possible. This is the focus of your current work. You can now customize a set of equipment for producing cement and lime from German manufacturers, and then order a batch of construction materials. I have already made a list and order several more manufacturers to order. We need to compare the goods. We are a foreign company run by German merchants and ask for payment after delivery. With the goal, you know how to work. Come on, Mr. Timothy."

Timothy Li collected the list Xuan Yuemeng gave him, and felt that his mind was clearer. When he woke up in the morning, he didn't know what to do today. "Okay."

Timothy Lee has a focus on his work and a direction of hard work.

Xuan Yuemeng's work focus is on raising money, which is quite difficult. If you ask others to borrow money, you must have corresponding collateral. The Qing government can always ask foreigners to raise funds because the Qing government took out customs duties as collateral! Nothing is more safe than this, so although the Qing government's fiscal deficit was serious, whenever the Beiyang Yamen manages foreigners to borrow money, foreigners flock to it.

Xuan Yuemeng has nothing to mortgage, and his current property is just a German mark worth 100,000 taels of Chinese official silver.

Xuan Yuemeng still has a gap of at least 300,000 yuan before he can trade the Beitan that he values. Xuan Yuemeng is determined to make this Beitan the first pot of gold in his life this time.

Xuan Dali: "Young Master, where are we going now? Are we going home?"

Xuan Yuemeng: "I'm in a bad mood, go and have some good food and go to the most expensive breakfast shop."

Xuan Yuemeng was thinking about going to the breakfast shop, but in fact she wanted to meet Zheng Beile's daughter Yaxin. Xuan Yuemeng didn't know why, but she was so fascinated by a ten-year-old girl. Anyway, after seeing her, she could heal all her worries. Xuan Yuemeng wanted to see if Yaxin could help raise money and find inspiration.

Xuan Yuemeng was very disappointed. Zheng Beile's private room was empty.

Xuan Yuemeng ordered four plates of exquisite desserts and a bowl of bean juice.

Although he didn't have a private room, after a few times, the shopkeeper of this shop was considerate. Seeing that Xuan Yuemeng was a big customer, he specially customized a special chair for him, a very high high chair that required someone to carry Xuan Yuemeng to sit. However, it allowed Xuan Yuemeng to eat easily and didn't have to stand on the chair and eat like before.

Xuan Sanniu was carriage outside, Xuan Dali, Xuan Daniu, Xuan Erniu stood with him. It was not that Xuan Yuemeng was showing off, he would not be as unruly as Xuan Hongtao. Since this place was in the Qing Dynasty, the superiors and the inferiors still needed. The servants could eat. Dali and the others had already eaten it just now. How could the servants sit with the owner and chew slowly?

While tasting the food, Xuan Yuemeng was still thinking about the fire of the Wu family and how to raise funds and buy land. He suddenly realized that the two things could actually be related!

This was just a flash of inspiration, and he was thinking quickly.

"Hey, Ama, isn't this the little prodigy?"

Xuan Yuemeng's expectant voice appeared.

Xuan Yuemeng raised her head from thinking and saw Zheng Beile leading the two of Yaxin and appearing in front of her.
