Xuan Yuemeng narrowed her eyes and looked at Waitabu: "I know the emperor is about to get married, and I also know that your family's strength will definitely contribute more tributes when the emperor is married. Money is a small matter for you, but what I want to say is that if the money is not used, it may not be able to squeeze out Wenxiang's chances of being promoted to Wenhua Palace! So, I want to contract the matter of your father's promotion to Wenhua Palace. I will give you gifts and pay tribute to you!"

Waitabu stared at Xuan Yuemeng: "The gifts are given, and the main thing is that the emperor's wedding is tribute. How do you contract it?"

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, I naturally have my own way. I want to contract the tribute of your family. That is to say, if we sign a contract, the tribute of our Klinsmann Company will be contracted by our Klinsmann Company! You don't have to worry about it. If your father is successfully promoted to the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace, you pay me three million taels of official silver! In addition, you also have to ask Lord Ruilin to submit a memorial to support our Klinsmann Company to sell smoking cessation pills. I have convinced Lord Li Hongzao and several governors. If someone takes the lead in supporting this matter, everyone will discuss it. If your father did not successfully redeem the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace of Lord Wuren this time and the money he paid for your family's tribute, it would be considered that our Klinsmann Company threw it into the water, how about it?"

The tributes from Ruilin's family are actually tributes from Guangdong and Guangxi. One thing is that the Qing Dynasty could last for so long, which was because Cixi's balance technique was good. In fact, all local officials were in the sky. Cixi achieved control of the world by controlling several governors!

Imperial power is orthodox and rooted in people's hearts. Cixi's hands are supreme imperial power, and at least she has always been playing with it. In addition, Cixi has another advantage, which can sell national sovereignty and borrow money from foreigners. This is also the reason why Cixi lived to death and the Qing Dynasty was not overthrown.

Waitabu frowned. Three million taels of official silver, what a sum! This time he agreed with his father to pay one million taels of silver to handle the emperor's wedding! Two million taels of silver were added! And why should he trust a child? "You are really just to sell the smoking cessation pill you mentioned? Why should I believe you? What kind of way do you have to suppress Prince Gong? Who sent you?"

Xuan Yuemeng smiled slightly. "I am the representative of Klinsmann Foreign Company. If you insist that who sent me, it is Klinsmann Foreign Company, a German-owned foreign company sent me. Foreigners can't suppress Prince Gong? Isn't Prince Gong relying on the power of foreigners? We are now talking about business. If this business succeeds or fails, there is no risk to you. All the risks are borne by our foreign company. Is there any problem?"

Waitabu looked at Ronglu beside him and asked softly: "How is it?"

Ronglu also said in Waitabu's ear: "I can't see how this child is, but. Please read the book W÷wΩW∮.∫QingKanShu.cC If what he said is true, it is indeed beneficial to us and there is no risk at all."

Waitabu still thought this fact was ridiculous and came a little suddenly. "We appreciate the kindness of Gui Foreign Company, but I am an official, not a businessman, and I am not used to talking about business with others. I am not used to talking about business with a child less than one year old. I will not be with you, so please let me park the car."

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "Mr. Waitab, if it's not very urgent, I'm about to go to the German Consulate to do something. Can you two condolently accompany me? Then go to the German Consulate for a cup of coffee. I'm not in a hurry about what I said just now. If you are not interested, we won't talk about it. Anyway, our foreign company is so big and it's a business. It doesn't matter to us."

Waitabu and Ronglu looked at each other again. It was clearly Xuan Yuemeng who looked for them first, but now they were rejected. They could not speak out again and quickly change directions.

The adults can't do as old as this child. He wants to take them to the German consulate. No need to ask, he just wants to show them his relationship with the Germans and tell them that he was not bragging just now. He not only leaves a gap to prevent the business from falling apart completely, but also can do it lightly. He is really an excellent businessman.

Ronglu was very interested in Xuan Yuemeng, and was not afraid of any tricks in his heart. He smiled and said, "Sir, just play with him."

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "Yes, I will send the two adults back to the door of the Japanese mansion later. The two adults' sedan chairs are still there. Now we are talking and leaving a street. As the two adults, will we hire a car to go back?"

Waitabu smiled and said, "I'm really a prodigy. I think of everything. OK, just go and have a look. I really rarely see foreigners! I haven't drunk any coffee that Mr. Xuan said."

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "The first time I drink it, I feel it's a bit bitter. Put some sugar and use it in a small mouthful. It's pretty good if you get used to it."

Xuan Yuemeng stood up, patted the car window again, and asked Dali to let the coachman go to the German consulate! All countries in China have consulates in Beijing.

The German consul naturally recognized Xuan Yuemeng and welcomed him warmly. Xuan Yuemeng did not introduce Waitab and Ronglu in detail to the German consul, but only said that he was an official who wanted to do business with Germany or an ordinary official.

The German consul was polite to Xuan Yuemeng. He heard Xuan Yuemeng talk about the difficulties encountered by Klinsmann Foreign Company, and talk about the joint efforts of Britain and France to hinder the exhibition of Klinsmann Foreign Company and block the purchase of materials by Klinsmann Foreign Company. The German consulate had known this for a long time and said that he would increase the protests and had been negotiating with Germany. The British and French consulates were negotiating to resolve this matter. Xuan Yuemeng repeatedly emphasized the importance of Klinsmann Foreign Company to German industry and commerce in China.

Xuan Yuemeng and the German Consul spoke in German throughout the whole process. Xuan Yuemeng’s current German level can be communicated easily. Although she is not very skilled, she does not need to translate.

When the German Consul heard Xuan Yuemeng say that Waitabu and Ronglu were just ordinary officials of the Qing Dynasty, he was very cold and his attitude towards them was not even as good as Xuan Yuemeng's follower Xuan Dali.

In the eyes of the Qing court, no matter which country the consul was, it was extremely awesome. When Waitabu and Ronglu saw the German consul's attitude towards Xuan Yuemeng, they believed it 100%! It was true that only foreigners could suppress Prince Gong, and Xuan Yuemeng did not whisper.

Of course, Xuan Yuemeng would not be stupid enough to tell foreigners about a Chinese official's promotion. There is no airtight wall in the world, and when Britain and France find out, wouldn't it cause more unnecessary trouble? The German consul wouldn't care about this kind of thing. Fortunately, where can Waitab and Ronglu understand German?

Xuan Yuemeng shook hands with the German consul and said goodbye, and brought the two people out.

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "I'll send you two back to the Japanese mansion now."

After seeing Xuan Yuemeng coming out of the German Consulate, Waitab stopped mentioning what he had just said. Instead, he felt a little itchy. He spent all his efforts on his father's activities to enter the cabinet, but he had no idea at all! Now that he has given him an opportunity, how could he not be moved?

Along the way, Xuan Yuemeng talked and laughed with the two of them. Xuan Yuemeng had never been to Beijing, showing his naive side, letting the two talk more, bringing each other closer, and then answering some questions about the two of them about Klinsmann Foreign Company. Xuan Yuemeng responded appropriately. Of course, he had to boast about Klinsmann Foreign Company, as if Klinsmann Foreign Company represented the German Royal Industry. Xuan Yuemeng also implied that his family had a different relationship with Li Hongzao, and the purpose of the hint was to make Waitab feel that if this matter could be concluded as Xuan Yuemeng said, a contract would be guaranteed by a member like Li Hongzao!

In fact, the biggest difficulty of this matter is that Waitabu doesn't want to leave anything written behind!

Xuan Yuemeng must leave a written item. I will get you done with the official job later. I won’t it be a big trouble if you refuse to admit it?

Anyway, after leaving the German Consulate, Xuan Yuemeng refused to mention what he had just said about running for Ruilin.

Xuan Yuemeng didn't mention it. Waitabu didn't hold it back, so Xuan Yuemeng just sent the two people back to Weiren's mansion, allowing the two people to ride in a sedan chair outside the gate.

Waitabu couldn't hold it in, "Young Master Xuan has been living in Lord Li's house these days? Should I live for a long time or will I leave soon?"

Xuan Yuemeng smiled. "Live for two or three days. This time I mainly accompany my grandfather to see Lord Li, and I will go back to Tianjin in a few days."

Waitabu said, "Then... what Mr. Xuan just said is serious or just said it casually? Mr. Xuan can do such a big thing alone?"

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "Of course it's serious. Before I came, I had already discussed with our foreign company. We wanted to find a great backer in the court! If those who have entered the cabinet, even if they spend money on them, they may not appreciate it. Our foreign company admires the family background of Lord Ruilin and Lord Waitabu. However, this matter is too big. If Lord Waitabu cannot make a decision, just pretend that I didn't say anything just now, and make friends. If Lord Waitabu and Lord Ronglu come to Tianjin to play in the United States, I will definitely be the friendship of landlords in the US concession."

Waitabu and Ronglu looked at Xuan Yuemeng's demeanor, and then looked at Xuan Yuemeng's more than 20 family slaves, standing upright and serving in a grand manner, which increased some confidence in Xuan Yuemeng.

However, Waitabu still didn't agree to anything on the spot.

Xuan Yuemeng felt a little upset. Although she knew that this matter could not be said here and then hit it off immediately, with his previous business perspective, she felt that the hope for the eventual outcome was still slim!

Xuan Yuemeng didn't think the price of the three million taels of silver he had set was high. He knew that Xuan Zonglu could have a net worth of millions of taels. Even if a family like Waitabu and Ruilin had a 20 to 30 million taels of official silver, it might not be impossible. Three million taels were not so high that they could not accept it! Xuan Yuemeng was worried that without friendship, people would worry that this was a trap.

When Xuan Yuemeng said goodbye in the last time, she wanted to say something, but she forced herself to hold it back and just added, "Goodbye!"

Even though he felt unsure, Xuan Yuemeng still did not lower his posture at all, making it seem like he was not looking for Waitabu, but it seemed that Waitabu was begging him.

After Waitabu and Ronglu left, Xuan Yuemeng continued to wait for Xuan Zonglu and Li Hongzao. Li Hongzao's sedan chair was still there, which means that Li Hongzao and Xuan Zonglu were still there.

Xuan Yuemeng patiently waited for the two old men in the car.

Li Hongzao and Xuan Zonglu finally came out. Li Hongzao's eyes were red, and he obviously cried again inside, his expression was listless.

After Xuan Zonglu helped Li Hongzao, who was almost exhausted from crying, she got into Xuan Yuemeng's carriage, "How is it? Did you intercept Waitabu just now?"

Xuan Yuemeng nodded.

Xuan Zonglu was very interested: "Oh? Did you tell him?"

Xuan Yuemeng smiled faintly: "I said that, but I don't think I hope so, forget it, let's go back first."

On the way back, Xuan Yuemeng roughly told Xuan Zonglu about her thoughts and the specific process she had just discussed.

Xuan Zonglu was shocked and held Xuan Yuemeng's fat claws, "You really opened your eyes to grandpa. You dare to say anything. You contracted tributes from Guangdong and Guangxi for three million taels. How dare you say this? Where did you go to get three million taels of silver? You sold all the antique calligraphy and paintings I saved for the rest of my life, but it may not be 2 million taels. If those things are sold suddenly, they cannot be sold at a good price. Keep them and they can slowly appreciate. Besides, this matter is really so important? Don't you only have a small share in that Klinsmann Foreign Company? Just pour it down and just throw it into the water. Never take your own money in it. Do you hear it?"

Xuan Yuemeng calmly analyzed: "In fact, it depends on whether Huaitabu will come to me. Three million taels? I am not so stupid. I give him tributes worth more than one million taels. The governors of each family gathered. How much is the annual tax in the Qing Dynasty? The most amazing thing is tributes worth 300,000 taels of silver. I just doubled it, and it doesn't take one million taels. If I can really succeed, I can earn more than two million taels of official silver!"

Xuan Zonglu smiled bitterly, "You dare to think about anything! Then why don't you say it? Are you sure you can win Prince Gong? Do you know Prince Gong's power in the court? It's not an exaggeration to say that Prince Gong is powerful in the world. If Prince Gong stomps his feet, the Qing Dynasty will shake three times! If Waitabu comes to you again, don't talk about this anymore! Did you hear it? You can't do it! Who is Waitabu? Ruilin is no more rich than you. If it's something that money can do,

What do you do to spend more money to ask you to do? If it doesn't work, even if you don't spend a million taels, then the money will be thrown into the water? Do you know how much effort it takes to save a million taels? It will take most of your life! Your grandfather is lucky and he gets a fat man. Where can ordinary third and fourth rank officials save millions of taels of silver? Since you have got all the money, you should be a rich man honestly. Isn't that good?"

Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "You are the idea of ​​an old-fashioned person. Why should I be a rich man honestly? I don't want to be bullied. I want to cultivate my own power. If I don't fight or fight, where can I come from? There are no people rebelling now, there is no war, otherwise I would still want to lead troops to fight!"

This time, Xuan Zonglu really understood her grandson completely. She is such a brave child! Still want to fight?
