Alchemy Greater China

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, at dusk, Ouyang Mansion put up lanterns and hung colored lanterns, slaughtered pigs and sheep, but closed the middle door, and made a sumptuous feast of pigs and sheep inside!This is different from the taste of Jinfeng Pavilion. At noon, Jinfeng Pavilion pays attention to delicious food, exquisite and elegant, while the pig and sheep feast in the evening is more generous, festive and lively, which means celebrating the new year.

The theater troupe invited was also a gathering of famous actors from San Francisco, and Sa Wei applauded from time to time.

After the Beijing opera ended, the dinner was full, and some colleagues from the consulate were sent away. Ouyang Ming stood up with a smile: "Mr. Viscount, are you satisfied with this meal?"

Savi nodded repeatedly in the vernacular he just learned: "Good food, good food!"

Ouyang Ming asked in a low voice: "Now, excuse me, I don't know what Mr. Viscount is thinking about?"

Unexpectedly, Savi pointed to Long Hao next to him: "Let him talk to you! Consul General, bring me another lamb bone, I want to suck the bone marrow! Delicious, delicious, haha..."

Ouyang Geng was the first to be surprised, and blurted out, "Talk to him? Mr. Viscount, are you drunk?"

Although Long Hao has been following Savi all the time, and has been quite influential in San Francisco recently, most of these officials in the Qing Dynasty still don't take this kid who betrayed his 'color' into his heart!

Ouyang Geng is like this, Cui Guoyin is even more like this!

Cui Guoyin frowned slightly: "More than a year ago, I met Long Xiaoyou a few times. Although he is a young hero, this matter involves a lot of things. I'm afraid he still can't make the decision?"

Long Hao didn't think he was disobedient, and smiled lightly: "Ambassador Cui, even though I don't talk much today, it doesn't mean you can underestimate me! Compared to a year ago, I am very different!"

Indeed, Long Hao just arrived in the United States a year ago, but now, Long Hao's wealth is almost comparable to that of a western royal family!

How did Cui Guoyin know that Alaska was actually Long Hao's 'private property'? When he saw this fugitive from the imperial court talking nonsense, he couldn't help frowning even deeper: Long Hao, don't think that the old man didn't check your background. Your father, Long Zhengxing, is the imperial court Comrade, you'd better be sensible, don't force me to expose your faults!Otherwise, Princess Melissa won't wait to see you!

Savi rolled his tongue and opened his eyes: "Ambassador Cui, Consul Ouyang, do you think I'm drunk? No, no, no, Long Hao has already convinced me before coming. He has a better suggestion that can perfectly solve the problem in your country. Trouble in Havana... Ah, I forgot to tell you that part of my military expenses for this trip to the Caribbean was sponsored by the Chief of the Dragon Guard... He, on the surface, is my cousin's Chief of Guard, but in fact, But a million-dollar rich man!"

After Savi finished speaking intermittently, he held the lamb bone that had just been handed over, and sucked it up happily, taking a sip of wine and marrow, feeling like he was in heaven.

Hundreds, millions, US dollars, big, big rich! ?

Except for Fang Mingde, the rest of the 'diplomacy' players froze for a moment!

Cui Guoyin thought: so rich in person?

Ouyang Geng muttered: Is it true or not?No wonder Rong Lao is so strong, but in the end he fell on Ah Duwu!

Ou Yangming's eyes sparkled: Shall we ask him to donate to rebuild the consulate?

After brainstorming for a while, Ouyang Ming was the first to wake up, and said with a smile, "Hehe, Yujie is not a man of his appearance! Since Mr. Viscount wants to continue tasting delicious food, why don't we have a chat first?"

Long Hao nodded and said: "Yes, but this matter needs to be kept secret. Is there a safe place for the Consul General?"

Ouyang Ming said: "Yes, yes! This is my home, and I invite Yujie to come with me, and I promise not to leak it!"

Leaving Savi behind to watch the play, drink and absorb his marrow, Long Hao followed Ouyang Ming, turned around and came to a secluded courtyard.

The courtyard was deep, and Ouyang Geng closed the courtyard door himself after everyone had entered.

Here, it is regarded as the secret place of Ouyang Mansion!

After lighting the lamp, Long Hao smiled and tapped on the armrest of the seat: "Since I am here to talk on behalf of the Viscount, then I need to know your plan! For example, how many people did you send? What is the combat effectiveness?" ?”

Cui Guoyin pondered for a while, and said: "All people come from Hongmen, and they are all heroes who don't want to die!"

Long Hao smiled without saying a word, but looked at Fang Mingde.

Fang Mingde felt a little uncomfortable under Long Hao's gaze, and said, "Ambassador Cui's words are true, Brother Hong also knows about this matter!"

Sending members of the Hongmen to fight abroad is a very important matter, even if Fang Mingde is in charge of the Hongmen, he must make it clear.

Long Hao nodded, and asked, "A voluntary one? Dare I ask, how much did Ambassador Cui pay to move these heroes? Or, how much money did he spend to buy the lives of these Hongmen brothers?"

What he said was extremely teasing, even blunt, which made Cui Guoyin's complexion suddenly changed, and Ouyang Geng and Ouyang Ming's expressions were also ugly.

Cui Guoyin said in a deep voice: "Little friend Long, what do you mean by that?"

"Hehe!" Long Hao smiled: "Ambassador Cui misunderstood. You just heard from the Viscount that I am worth millions and I am an authentic businessman! Since I am a businessman, I have to find out how much the court plans to spend. , want to return the Cuban property? Is the price of the two plantations high or low? Compared with the remuneration paid by the imperial court to Hongmen, which is more important? I have to figure it out. Can't let him suffer?"

Cui Guo thought about it because of difficulty, and pointed out two fingers: "2 taels of silver!"

Long Hao paused, glanced at Cui Guoyin and Fang Mingde, and said, "2 taels of silver is only over 1 US dollars. Mr. Fang, how many people do you plan to send?"

Fang Mingde scratched his head, hesitatingly said: "Yes, yes, three hundred!"

"Hey, this head is only four or five hundred dollars!" Long Hao asked curiously, "Old Fang, do you think this price is good?"

Fang Mingde sighed: "Brother Long, in this world, human life is cheap, there are so many, I, Hongmen, are already very satisfied!"

"you're lying!"

Long Hao suddenly drank in a loud and frightening voice: "Hongmen is not short of money, and you are willing to get involved in this muddy water for less than 2 US dollars? Fang Mingde, you are clearly using your power for personal gain and betraying Hongmen's interests. Go tell Mr. Hong and let him deal with you!"

Fang Mingde was taken aback, and quickly said, "Don't, don't! Ambassador Cui promised to give me three plantations and a sugar processing factory after the matter is completed. I am thinking about the development of Hongmen!"

Cui Guoyin was startled, and blurted out: "Brother Fang, why are you telling the truth..."

Having said that, Cui Guoyin suddenly realized, and quickly stopped talking, but Long Hao on the opposite side had such a smug smile.

Brother Fang has always been calm, but why can't he be calm this time, and he revealed the truth after being tricked by this little boy?Cui Guoyin felt a little regretful, but the deal was done, there was no time to think about it, and he still had to deal with Long Hao's questioning.

Long Hao asked: "Ambassador Cui, you are not being kind. In this matter, the viscount's army is the main force, and they will fight the rebels in Havana. Why is the reward so different? Although I am Chinese, But now I am entrusted by the viscount, as the saying goes, a helper does not help a relative, and on behalf of the viscount, I lodge a strong protest! The remuneration needs to be renegotiated!"

After hearing this, Cui Guoyin cursed in his stomach: Isn't there a plantation and a factory missing?Where did the difference come from?Besides, when you go to Cuba, the ones who are desperate are not the people invited from Hongmen?Spanish soldiers will help, no one will believe such nonsense!

Cui Guoyin squeezed out a smile: "Don't worry, Long Xiaoyou, there is a reason for the difference in remuneration, it's not that I deliberately favor Hongmen."

Long Hao squinted: "What's the reason? Let's hear it."

Ouyang Geng finally seized the opportunity, and snorted, "Yujie, it's in vain that you, as a Chinese, have even forgotten the unique skills of your ancestors! The more than [-] people in Hongmen all know martial arts, and they fought with foreigners." Come, take advantage of nature!"

What he meant was obvious, the price of someone who knows martial arts is of course higher than that of Savi's soldiers.

Long Hao smiled contemptuously: "Martial arts? What does fighting have to do with martial arts now?"

That's right, if the martial arts of the ancestors were effective, China would not be repeatedly beaten by Western powers with spears and cannons!Now is the age of firearms, ten soldiers who can shoot and well-trained soldiers can kill a hundred "martial arts masters" like chickens and dogs!

This point can be clearly proved in the Boxer Rebellion not long after.
