4004 Touched a nose of gray
Simpson was already stunned. The dreamy scene of the Eastern Legend in front of him was as exciting as a magical drama. Although he couldn't figure out the details, he could also guess the rough ones!
General Fei Shuo thought he was the biggest and richest at first, so he wanted to steal people, but he didn't expect that in the end, these businessmen were overwhelmed with power and overwhelmed him!
God, what's going on? Don't those explorers who go to the East say that China's land is the most disrespectful to merchants? Don't they say that the bureaucratic group is suppressing merchants?
Why do you see the opposite today?
As an excellent reporter, he would never allow questions to stay overnight in his mind. He walked up quickly and reached out his hand respectfully!
"Hello, sirs, I am Simpson, a reporter from London. I'm very happy to know you!"
People just now were fighting with Fei Shuo, but they never had time to take care of this British man. Of course, they can't pretend to be invisible at this moment!
In addition to Zhang Xiaowen, the three of them shook hands and greeted Simpson with a smile on their faces. What surprised Simpson was that these three people were actually speaking English. Although they were unfamiliar, there was no problem with basic communication!
At present, the Chinese have published the first edition of English, French, German dictionaries in Asia, and even Italian and Spanish dictionaries in their Italian and Spanish.
Simpson communicated with these people, and some uncommon words can be understood by looking up the dictionary. It is very convenient!
The minimum quality of a businessman is to be polite and greet him with a smile. As long as you don’t mess with him, even if there are any businessmen or not, they will be very polite!
Not to mention that Simpson is a gold medal reporter in London, England, and he also has a family identity! Such a scholar-oriented talent has been respected by everyone!
The remaining vegetables were removed, and the pleasure boat itself had a chef, and a table of wine and dishes prepared for the ready-made ingredients. The terrified girls began to push, pull, play and sing!
At this moment, they are no longer the identity of a thin horse. They have become the women of these three beloved guests. If they are served, they might be able to give them the identity of a concubine!
The madam in Hanxianglou made such a fortune for no reason, and her eyes were gone without laughing, but she was also very smart and knew that these masters could not afford to offend them, so she knelt down and kowtow!
"Thank you for your rewards. I didn't know the identities of you before, so I was very negligent. I should have deducted my eyes..."
After saying that, he smiled and slapped himself twice, "Put, slap... But a few masters, these daughters are so beautiful, but they are not worth the price..."
"If you guys can just watch it and give some rewards... The young people must not argue more and talk less..."
Sheng Jiujie sneered, "What? I'll squeeze us out with the words? If you don't dare to argue more and talk less, we have to break our promise. Get out of here and prepare the wine and food... The price you just agreed on will not be missing a word!"
"Haha, this Jiangnan seems that there are still many people who are not mentally prepared. They know how wonderful the future era will be!"
"The horizon is too narrow, and it is far worse than our Chinese..."
When the madam heard that she really wanted to give a thin horse of 18,000 silver dollars, she was so worried that she would put it in her stomach that she kowtowed like a garlic. "Oh... I'm right, no matter how big the world's business is, it can't beat the head of state!"
"In the past, Jiangnan was said to be rich, but now Jiangnan can only rank second... It's still the Chinese people's efforts!"
After a few flatteries, the madam stepped down and cooked in person. She also sent someone back to Hanxianglou to bring the identity documents of the six girls. After signing and sealing them, it would be considered a legal transaction!
Simpson looked at everything in front of him and was extremely excited. He made up his mind to dig out good news materials from these gods of wealth, and at least he had to deeply understand the inside story of the Chinese people!
Simpson was an excellent journalist, a very powerful traveler and humanist! But in that era, all British people who traveled around the world had a common identity and were spies!
These are all spies who voluntarily do not pay for their wages. They collect information for the British Empire around the world, whether it is military, political, economic or humanistic, as long as they think it is useful, they will be summarized and reported to the country!
Now that we meet these four top businessmen, this is naturally a good opportunity to spy on the economic strength of the East! It is possible that even some unexpected gains may be drawn from them!
Simpson raised his glass and asked about what business the merchants are doing! Ask about the operation of this new Chinese large-denomination currency!
There is also whether war bonds are useful, how high the interest is, and how much did the head of state pay it off!
More importantly, we keep asking about how China's industrialization progresses, how the Qing Empire should operate, and how the Chinese people should operate!
What is even more unbearable is that he actually asked the forces behind these great gods of wealth indirectly!
There are too many problems, but unfortunately he met all cunning people, and no one told the truth to him. Sheng Jiujie and Zhang Xiaowen are basically capitalists under the Chinese forces!
They have received systematic training from the Chinese people and of course they understand the truth that none of our race will have different minds. They have received careful espionage and counter-espionage training, and are naturally vigilant against these foreigners who love to inquire!
Although Cao Shuai was not from the Chinese system, he has been in the northwest. He has a close relationship with King Shangtai, Manager Fan Jin and the left side of Ghost Eye!
He even vaguely knew Samuel's true identity. Through the mouth on the left of his ghost's eyes, he knew that most of the Western explorers were spies and they had to be treated with caution!
So Cao Shuai is not willing to talk too deeply about topics with Simpson!
You talk about the beautiful scenery of the country, the beautiful women of the pinks, and even the delicious food and wine... You can order whatever you want today, and everyone is not stingy with the best wine!
We can chat about eating, drinking and having fun casually, and we are generous inviting you, but no one will talk about sensitive topics!
This made Simpson extremely depressed, but just when he was so uncomfortable that he was heartbroken, Liu Peiqi, the broker under Yang Zhi, took over the topic!
"Mr. Simpson? I heard you are anxious to go to the capital?"
"Yes, I was going to rest in Shanghai for two days, and then take a sea boat north to Dagukou... But unexpectedly, the sea boat I booked encountered a storm!"
"And the other ships are incorrect in time! I had no choice but to go to the Grand Canal..."
"Haha... it's good, it's good to walk on the Grand Canal. You are a reporter and you can also enjoy the mountains and rivers of the Qing Dynasty along the way!"
Chapter completed!
