"You are not afraid, I am afraid!"

When everyone left the door, Sheng Xuanhuai's smiling face immediately became cold. While siping bitter tea, he churned inwardly.

Li Zicheng was a young man. He took it over with a soft fist and he took it down. He was not afraid of the Easterners, but he was afraid that Sheng Xuanhuai, who had dealt with foreigners in the past few decades, had never underestimated the Easterners. The American ambition and greed were far more than ten times more than Westerners.

It is also because of this that every time I deal with the Japanese, I will be careful to prevent them from doing it. Although the "Presale Pig Iron Contract" is careful and gives me a chance to breach the contract, if I get into trouble with the Japanese, I am afraid that I will cause trouble.

Li Zicheng's naughty young man offended the Japanese, first borrowing money, but not only Japan, but also other countries, and finally left it alone. Then his Liuhe Company hollowed out the workers in Dalian. The Japanese could hold back for the time being, but now he wanted to cut the iron ore of the Japanese manufacturing station, pig iron, and others might not know the importance of the iron from the Han factory and the smelting mine to the Japanese iron station, but he knew it himself.

Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan's industry has risen rapidly, and domestic railways and manufacturing industries have developed rapidly, which has a great demand for coal and iron. However, the country lacks coal and iron resources, so it naturally set its sights on Han Yeping in its own hands. Now, the iron ore of the Bapan Ironmaking Institute, Japan's largest steel company, is basically imported from Han Yeping.

Han Yeping's ore has excellent quality and convenient transportation. Therefore, Japan is determined to control Han Yeping. It sends business management personnel to infiltrate Han Yeping through capital transfer and technical support, but it has always grasped one thing, that is, it does not lose sovereignty. After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising last year, the Japanese government and the opposition were shocked and paid great attention. On the one hand, they sent warships to Wuhan to pay close attention to the movements around Han Yeping in the name of protecting the expatriates. If it was said that once foreign intervention was made at that time, Japan would immediately send troops to occupy Han Yeping. Li Zicheng didn't know the Japanese's ambition, but he knew it.

"What should I do now!"

Sip bitter tea, Sheng Xuanhuai's heart was even bitterer than this tea.

On the one hand, the pig iron pre-sale contract was forced to sign. At the beginning of the construction of Jinpu Road in the early years, despite Sheng Xuanhuai's relationship with the Qing government's Posts and Communications Department, he only received an order of 17,000 tons of rails in the southern section of the road. However, due to obstruction by the German foreign factory, the northern section was assisted by the supervisor of the road, and the company still had to withdraw halfway through the bidding, resulting in the purchase of German materials in this section.

This was a big blow to the newly reorganized Hanyeping Company. At that time, the company was looking forward to the company that was a bulk business, so it had to do something else. If there was no such business, it had to change the steel plate. It would cost money to transform the equipment, but the company had no money. In the end, it could only rely on exporting Japanese pig iron to barely maintain the company's operations. In the end, in order to renovate the equipment, it had to sign that contract and borrow 5 million yen.

But now, Sheng Xuanhuai wants to tore up the contract more than anyone else. After all, the Japanese do business, but there is no such thing as being kind. Not only are the companies generally subject to international market prices, but the companies suffer a lot due to production costs and other factors, but they are also bound by unfair contracts, and the losses are particularly heavy.

On the other hand, just in August, Liuhe Company signed twelve orders for the construction of Lianyungang and the construction of Lianyungang Port Company of the Netherlands Port, and set 10,000 tons of steel rails and steel. I heard that the side of Lianyungang is preparing to build a steel rolling mill, specializing in the production of building rebar. The steel needed by this factory is 60,000 tonnes a year. From there, the steel material came from Hanyeping.

When doing business with Liuhe, at least Li Zicheng is much more kind than the Japanese. Although Li Zhiyuan is only involved in the business world, his reputation for "being sincere to others" has already spread.

He murmured in his heart that Sheng Xuanhuai was a little embarrassed at this time. He wanted to use the secret chess he left last year to tear up the contract for the sake of profit, but on the other hand, it was for the sake of protecting his interests, so Sheng Xuanhuai did not dare to tear up the contract.

However, Sheng Xuanhuai was Sheng Xuanhuai after all. He knew how deep the water in this pool was. He was not the kind of person who would rush in and rush out when encountering something wrong. Instead, he took a chess and pieces and looked at five steps, and never was disturbed by his emotions! He never had one move, and he would never drink and write poems whenever he encountered setbacks, let alone face this situation that he had already expected.

So, after thinking about it for more than half an hour, Sheng Xuanhuai quickly laughed again.

"Since you, Li Zicheng, are so naughty, then... it's no wonder that your husband treats you as a gun!"

Then he leaned over and began to write a letter. In the past few days, telegrams were only used occasionally, and the fear of leaking secrets. Most of the time, he used this most primitive letter.

After finally writing the long letter, he picked up the teacup on the desk and carefully savored the words in the letter. Sheng Xuanhuai smiled:

"Hey, Li Zicheng, you can't blame me! I, Lao Sheng, have never had the habit of taking on the blame for others since I was born. Lao Sheng is happy to do the icing on the cake. But this kind of thing that can cause trouble. Oh, if you are young, you should take care of it!"

Talking to himself, Sheng Xuanhuai shouted outside the door.

"Five sons."

As soon as the voice fell, a man who seemed to be big and thick, but had a glitter in his eyes walked in. The forty-odd men were Sheng Wu. In his early years, Sheng Xuanhuai had the grace of survival for him and was also the people he trusted the most.

As soon as he entered the study, Sheng Wu quickly bowed his waist.

"Master." He picked up the letter from the desk, Sheng Xuanhuai looked at Sheng Wu.

"This letter, like last time, was delivered to Lianyungang and handed it to Li Zicheng in person. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master!"

There is no such thing as Yu's nonsense, but just as respectful as ever.

When Sheng Wu was about to withdraw, Sheng Xuanhuai waved his hand and said.

"Five sons, your daughter will be out of business next month, right? Let your family go back and pay 3,000 taels of silver in the account. No matter what, she is also the daughter of our Sheng family, and she can't end up in a mess!"

When he heard this, Sheng Wu, who was so grateful that he almost burst into tears, hurriedly said.

"Mr. Xie."

Everyone can win the hearts of others. Sheng Xuanhuai has bought the hearts of others all his life and naturally knows what to do. What he wants is Sheng Wu's gratitude.

"This surname Sheng is really crazy and sloppy!"

Putting down the letter in his hand, Mu Yidu sat down on the sofa, and then laughed:

"Haha, Zhiyuan, it seems that you and Sheng Xuanhuai have a draw. From Hu Xueyan on the way, no one can get a cheaper price from the surname Sheng."

After hearing what he said, Li Zicheng laughed.

"Break? Do you think I am the one who takes advantage?"

I never take advantage of it, at most... well, it's just a trick of a few people, and it's also a must for people to be willing to take advantage of it. I don't have the time to do anything bad.

"What? It's obvious that Sheng Xuanhuai wants to use you as a gun, does he have room for reversal?"

"Of course, Sheng Xuanhuai also made such a move! He wanted to bring me into Han Yeping and take the interest on the money we gave him into shares, just to get the jar, but he didn't expect that I still have a backup plan."

"Then where are your back?"

Turning his eyes, Li Zicheng smiled.

"Uh--This matter, as Sheng Xuanhuai said, is not as usual. If I want to cut off the grain of the Japanese iron factory, how could the Japanese not know? If they really make a desperate bet at that time, I am afraid they really don't know what chaos will cause!"

You know, too

He said something lightly in his heart, and Mu hurriedly said.

"So, I said, we should not wader this pool of water. This water is very mixed and cannot be guaranteed. Maybe it will cause any harm."

He shook his head, but Li Zicheng said again.

"I have to do this anyway. Japanese. I have been convicted of offending me. I don't bite people if I have too many lice. I offended them two or three times, and I don't care if I offend them to death this time!"

He said this, but Li Zicheng still didn't want to be taken as a gun in his eyes.

"But if they come to us for trouble, we have to think about it."

After drinking a little tea and pondering for a while, Li Zicheng bowed and said.

"So, we have to think about Yuan and get this done. We can't let his surname Sheng use me as a gun!"

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. If we don't agree, I'm afraid Sheng Xuanhuai will find an excuse to return us! We will be in a disadvantage at that time. Before the steel mill is completed in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to buy steel from him!"

Listening to this, Li Zicheng smiled.

"Sheng Xuanhuai, this old slip-on!"

While sighing, putting down the tea, Li Zicheng continued.

"We have to plan this matter well, and we can't let anyone named Sheng use us as a gun for nothing."

When Li Zicheng lit a cigarette, his eyebrows raised upwards.

"Ouchu, this time, he asked his surname Sheng to use me as a gun. It would be hindered again and again. Within five years, I swallowed his Han Yeping and took back all the principal and profits. As for this place, whether he is willing or not, I have to cut off his path between me and the Japanese. Originally, I thought that if he is really willing to take responsibility this time, I will recognize this person from now on. Now, I will help him, which will be considered equal. Waiting for the future..."

Snoring coldly, a few glee flashed in Li Zicheng's eyes.

"The Chinese are afraid of foreigners, and the Easterners are afraid of Westerners. There is a way to do this!"

When you say this, a person appears before your eyes.

"Ouchu, I'll say, come and write, I'm going to send a telegram to an old friend!"

When talking about "old friend", Li Zicheng deliberately emphasized these three words. This is really a way to do more friends.

Sorry, I updated late today, I worked overtime temporarily in the afternoon, I just returned home, I hope you all forgive me! But I will definitely update the third time!)...
