Respectfully

Chapter 128

High investment, high risk, high profit.All businessmen know this truth, and Liao Qiting is no exception.In many cases, the profit will not be directly proportional to the investment, but if you want to get more, you must not be stingy with the capital in your hand.

It's the same for others and for yourself.

"Third Young Master."

For the second visit, Liao Qiting's address to Li Jinyan remained unchanged, but his attitude changed.

"So Brother Liao has already made a decision?"

"Yes." Liao Qiting's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, but Li Jinyan could clearly feel his respect for him, "I am willing to accept the conditions of the third young master."

During the time he stayed in Guanbei City, Liao Qiting saw many things that he couldn't see from other places.

Busy industrial areas and farms, rows of shops and businesses, streets that can accommodate eight horses in parallel, new-style trams passing by, horse-drawn carriages lined up in an orderly manner, and pedestrians consciously walk on both sides of the road.Soldiers walking by with rifles on their backs, policemen in black police uniforms, workers in homespun overalls, clerks in shops, farmers entering the city, hawkers on the street, newsboys waving newspapers, on all faces, To see something called hope.

Everything here is so different.

In Guanbei, you can't see arrogant foreigners, groveling patrolmen, or ragged beggars.

Everyone here is fighting for survival and working hard for a better life.In Guanbei, as long as you are willing to work hard, no one will starve to death.The shelter outside the city has gradually become a temporary resting place for immigrants from other provinces. Few people stay there for more than a month. Even the elderly and children move out as soon as they find a job within their ability. The salary rents a room in a residential area outside the city and settles down.

Today's residential area has changed a lot compared to when it was first built. Not to mention more houses, some shops and restaurants have opened up one after another.There are also many food stalls opened by immigrants from other provinces, and people living in Guanbei City often come here to take a walk around and have a tooth-beating festival.

Liao Qiting took Xiao Shuanzi and two bodyguards around the residential area, and ate a few skewers of barbecued meat in front of a barbecue stand. The quantity was sufficient and the taste was good.The stall owner is a Tatar man. He followed the tribe from Outer Mongolia to Chahar, and then came to Guanbei City. He found a job as a herd on a farm outside Guanbei City. The barbecue stall is usually taken care of by his wife and young son. , he came to help when he was off work.

The Tatar man was not proficient in Chinese, but his bold personality made the customers in front of the stall willing to talk to him.

At this time, two soldiers in light brown military uniforms came over, and the stall owner greeted them with a big smile, and his spirits were high when he spoke.

"These are my two younger brothers! Both are good men!" The Tatar man proudly introduced his brothers to everyone, slapping their chests and backs loudly, "They are all soldiers of the young commander. He will fight! If someone dares to offend our benefactor, I, Kangba, will also pick up the scimitar, ride on the horse, and go to the battlefield to fight! Cut off all the heads of the enemy!"

When Kangba said these words, his expression was solemn, and no one would doubt that on that day, this Tatar man would not rush to the battlefield on a horse.

What he saw and heard these days touched Liao Qiting a lot, and made him make up his mind to take out all his bargaining chips.Young Master Liao Seven gambled only a few times in his life. This time, he had the least chance of winning, but he was destined to earn the most.

After making the bet, though, he regretted it for a moment.Because Li Jinyan actually told him that the so-called "Low's Commercial Group" was just a conception and had not been formally established, and his position as deputy general manager was just an "empty title".

"Brother Liao, don't worry." Li Jinyan personally poured a cup of tea to Liao Qiting, and said with a smile, "There will be bread, butter, and the group. It's just a matter of time."

Liao Qiting: "..." This is drawing a big cake for him, and he really sold himself for this big cake...

"I'm going to go south on No. 20 this month, how about Brother Liao and me?"

"Going south?"

"Yes, the plan is to go to Tianjin first, and then Shandong. I also want to visit Marshal Song." Li Jinyan sat back on the sofa, "Seriously, we are still relatives."

"I understand." Liao Qiting nodded without asking further questions.Anyway, he has already sold himself, everything is up to the buyer.

This time going south, besides the two shifts arranged by Marshal Lou, Li Jinyan only planned to take Liao Qiting and Jiahua Factory Manager Lu Huaide with him.Manager Lu thought that Master Li San would also be on the accompanying list, but Li Jinyan shook his head.

As for the reason, Li Jinyan did not say, and Lu Huaide did not dare to ask.

Everything was ready, Li Jinyan specially sent a telegram to Boss Song in Tianjin, but unexpectedly things changed suddenly.Li Jinyan had to postpone the trip.

On August [-], Hikokichi Ijuin, the Japanese Minister to China, resigned and was replaced by Enjiro Yamaza.

"This man is well-known in Japan. His role in the Anglo-Japanese Alliance and the Russo-Japanese War is not small. It is said that Ito Hirobumi's death is also related to him. He just arrived in China, and before he submitted his credentials, he met military officer Sakanishi He also met privately with Yata, the Consul General in the six northern provinces, and went to Lushun to meet with Kanto governor Oshima Yoshisawa in person.”

Xiao Youde summarized the information collected in the past few days and told Li Jinyan that Enjiro Yamazawa was very cunning. He took advantage of the time when the Huaxia intelligence personnel were not familiar with him, and he acted frequently in private until Pan Guangxing sent back the news. Only then did the bureau really grasp his whereabouts these days.

"Pan Guangxing?"

"Yes, he has now gained the trust of Kawashita, the head of the Intelligence Department of the Kanto Governor's Mansion, and has had contact with Yoshima Oshima once." Xiao Youde took out an unsigned letter from his pocket, "He specifically mentioned in this letter According to Kawashita, Enjiro Yamaza mentioned Kenji Doihara, Assistant Military Officer of Sakanishi, to Oshima Yoshima more than once, and thought he was an excellent talent, and hoped that Oshima would allow him to come to Dalian.”

Kenji Doihara, the Japanese spy chief?Li Jinyan frowned, has he arrived in Huaxia at this time?

"In view of the frequent actions of the Japanese during this time, I suggest that Young Master Yan should postpone the time to go south." Xiao Youde said: "For your safety."

"Is there any news?"

"Not yet." Xiao Youde shook his head, "But it must be just in case."

"I will think about it."

Li Jinyan is not stubborn and refuses to listen to persuasion. There are indications that this Yamaza Enjiro is more difficult to deal with than Ijuin. With the addition of Doihara, even if the Japanese power in the north is suppressed, the Nanman Railway will also be suppressed. Marshal Lou snatched it back, but the south is no better than the north, the forces of various countries are mixed, and the concessions in Shanghai and other places are even more like a country within a country.It is not impossible for the Japanese to take the opportunity to do something if they really want to take the risk.

Thinking of this, Li Jinyan couldn't help grinding his teeth, why don't these Japanese scumbags stop?

Following the change of Japanese envoys, the envoys of France, the United States, Russia and Germany also changed their faces. Only the British envoy, Sir Jurdian, remained stable and stable as before.

The date of Li Jinyan's going south was postponed until the end of the month. Marshal Lou personally ordered it, and it was useless for Li Sanshao to object.

"Going south as Lou's family members, the entourage has increased to a platoon, and Xiao Youde will also take it with him." Marshal Lou made a final decision, and Li Sanshao's planned "mini-service travel" has come to naught.

"Young commander, is it not good to be so public?"

Lou Xiao continued to read the document without raising his head, "Listen to me."

Li Sanshao: "..."

Scratching his head, he went south this time mainly to open up the southern market and to discuss business. If he brought more than 40 sturdy soldiers with him everywhere, how could he discuss this business?Most people will think that he is not doing business, and bullying others to buy and sell by force is more or less the same.

"Young Marshal, can't we discuss it?" Li Jinyan still wanted to try harder, "This is really too public, and I'm afraid it will cause more trouble."

"No."

"why?"

"Worry."

"what?"

Young Marshal Lou stood up and walked towards Li Jinyan step by step. The blunt sound of the heels of his boots hitting the floor became more and more clear.

The warm palm clasped the back of Li Jinyan's neck, and his black eyes seemed like a bottomless abyss.

"I'd be worried."

Four words, only four words.

Li Sanshao was disappointed and surrendered...

Sure enough, in front of Louhuo, the bared-toothed rabbit...is still a rabbit.

At the same time, the first batch of government-sent students to the United States arrived in Qingdao, and two French guests were welcomed into the office of President Lou Da, the newly appointed French Minister Plenipotentiary in China Conte and the French military attache in China, Bai Lisou.

The two of them are on this trip, one is to submit the credentials, and the other is to establish a school in Huaxia.

"School?"

"Yes, Your Excellency the President." Kant wore a mustache and a decent suit, but the smell of perfume made President Louda not very used to it.

The fact that the Americans refunded the boxer indemnity as Chinese students' study abroad fees has caused considerable controversy among countries, with some opposing and some agreeing.Zhu Erdian was very scheming and did not express his position immediately, but sent a telegram to the country, frankly saying that this move by the United States would not have any impact on Great Britain's interests in China in the short term, but in the long run, I am afraid that the Chinese people will start to lean towards them, especially After these overseas students return to China, their impact cannot be underestimated.Britain must take certain measures to weaken this influence.

The French acted faster. They have decided to return part of the boxer indemnity, which is also used to help China's education.They will not imitate the United States in recruiting foreign students, but directly help Huaxia establish a school. The address of the first school is in Nanyuan, the capital city.

Gallic Rooster believes that letting Chinese people see the actual things will definitely achieve better results.
