Chapter 1147 Ming imperialists (first update, please subscribe)
The tequila is strong and stimulating, and Ma Baoguo was even a little hard to swallow after the first taste.

"Not as good as rum."

Ma Baoguo said to himself that the most common wine in Ming Dynasty is either victory wine made from corn, or rum called "sugar wine".

But in Mexico, the most common drink is tequila.

Although the taste of tequila is not very good, but he has something on his mind and he drank it one after another. Occasionally, the whistle of the train came from time to time, and the train "clanged" on the railway.

Although he doesn't know a word of Spanish, Master Ma, with the dream of "spreading Chinese martial arts", still boarded the train to Mexico City.

Fortunately, there is a large Chinese population in Mexico. Although he can't speak Spanish, he can always meet Chinese or Mexicans who can speak Chinese. However, sometimes misunderstandings occur. For example, he always mistakes local Indians for Chinese.

But now he can almost figure out the difference between the two. Looking at the clothes, there is not much difference between Indians and Mexicans. They often have two braids and wear an exaggerated Mexican-style hat.The Chinese dress up more in pursuit of Ming fashion, a simple shirt and a Nanhua straw hat. The so-called Nanhua straw hat is actually an Ecuadorian straw hat. No one knows how this straw hat was introduced to Nanhua, because it was first popular in Nanhua. That’s why it’s called the “Nanhua hat”, but in the past few years, it and Daming’s costumes have spread to all parts of the world through screen movies, and the “Nanhua hat” can be seen everywhere in Daming’s movies.Because it appears so often in movies, it has also been promoted worldwide.Even Ma Baoguo wore a "Nanhua hat", but the one he wore was made in China and woven with wheat stalks. In Shandong and other places, people in some areas began to subsidize the use of woven straw hats as early as seven or eight years ago. household.

"When we get to Mexico City, we'll be able to show our talents..."

Ma Baoguo was talking to himself, and even secretly regretted that the big apprentice didn't know what to do and missed this opportunity. Ma Baoguo knew that he didn't want to come to Mexico City with him. Although he was a little disappointed, he had no choice but to let him go.

"When you become famous as a teacher, I have to teach you that a master is still a master..."

"Uh……"

Just here, when the wind blows, Ma Baoguo hiccups, and can't help feeling his belly churn, covered his mouth and rushed to the bathroom of the car to vomit it out.

People just get up, and the seat is snatched away. The third-class compartment is like this. Many people are standing. If someone leaves the seat, the seat will naturally be snatched away by others.

After a while, Ma Baoguo, who had no seat, could only stand in a certain corner, squeezing back and forth in this compartment exuding various peculiar smells.

Oh, by the way, the biggest difference between Chinese and Indians is that the body of the Chinese has no peculiar smell, while the body of the Indians stinks...

No, those foreign devils stink!

But bear with it, after all, we want to spread Chinese martial arts.What is the stench of the foreign devils?
The train was driving in the dark, heading towards Mexico City.Most of the people in the car have different aspirations.

Little people have dreams of little people, and big people have troubles of big people.

Sun Chenglin has been very troubled recently. As the president of the Mexican Railway Company, he has been troubled recently.

The Mexican Railway Company not only has 11675 kilometers of railways, but also has as many as 42 employees.As the largest company in Mexico...it is a foreign company.

In 1866, by providing loans to the Mexican Empire, Ming obtained the right to build railways in Mexico. Since then, the right to build Mexican railways has been monopolized by the Ming Empire. The so-called Mexican Railway Company, 80% of its shares belong to Ming. A group of banks and the Imperial National Pension Fund, the latter controls the operation of the Imperial Social Security Fund, and its capital scale far exceeds that of most banks.

Ten years ago, Sun Chenglin came to Mexico. As a middle-level employee of the company, he constantly dealt with those local powerful factions, such as the Terrazas family in Chihuahua State, and Dieus Gutie in San Luis Potosí State. The Reis brothers, the Molina-Montes family in Yucatan, and the Labasas family in Chiapas resisted the increasingly solid rule of the empire and ruled the state like an independent kingdom.

What are you doing with them?
Of course, it is to buy land to build the railway. Those families control almost all the land in the state. Without their permission, the railway company just has the right to build it.

It is not easy to deal with those local emperors, it is like a fierce war.They could see through his lies, and he could see through their hypocritical concern for the farmers.They knew what he needed, and he knew what they needed.Therefore, he offered them some additional promises, such as the construction rights of the railway station land, and they gave the railway company a mining concession for the road construction land, and the price would not be much lower.

It was also under his efforts that the railway company extended its reach to all states in Mexico, and the various places prospered with the convenience of transportation. As a result, he went from a middle-level employee to a high-level executive, and became the president of the railway company last year.

However, his ambitions are not limited to this.

In the afternoon, after having lunch with several imperial nobles, Sun Chenglin strode back to his desk, sat on the luxurious leather chair by the desk again, and faced the copy of the book spread out on the record book. The report glanced at it.The report came in a large envelope sealed with wax, in markings that only he could read.

The report was sent by the investigation department of the railway company. Like all Ming enterprises, the railway company also attaches great importance to intelligence investigation work.Below the report is the signature of Dr. Richards.Dr. Richards is the director of the resource survey and map drawing department of the railway company. This department is an institution engaged in resource survey and map drawing. In the past year, they have been conducting investigations in Guatemala.

Dr. Richards did not talk nonsense in the report. Except for the preliminary investigation of local agricultural, mineral and forest resources, and the planning of a simple railway line to Guatemala City, the summary of the report is brief and to the point ——Guatemala officials do not agree to hand over the railway to the Mexican Railway Company for construction.

"Damaging its national interests?"

Sun Chenglin sneered.

"If it doesn't harm your national interests, where can we make money!"

Originally, the construction of the railway was only the first step, and then things like railway ancillary, mining rights, etc., definitely violated sovereignty...

But if you don't violate it, where can you make money?Isn't this a well-known fact?

If those guys were really patriotic, how could their country be what it is now?It's just an excuse to say a thousand words and ten thousand words.

Since it is an excuse, then they must have a conspiracy.In other words, they must be given enough benefits, so that those people will make concessions in national interests.

Frowning into a ball, Sun Chenglin stared at the report in his hand, his eyes became more and more serious...

After pondering for a long time, he leaned forward and picked up the phone.

"Please tell Manager Li from the company's security department to come see me, Miss Sonia."
