Xia Ping wanted to hide behind the scenes, but an incident in the afternoon revealed him.

Xia Ping had one thing that no one else could do today, which was to accompany the foreign inspection group.

The changes in Emei and its surrounding areas have attracted great attention from foreigners.

After all, the newly opened temple in Mount Emei is a health care center for foreigners in the southwest region, and there are hundreds of foreigners living there. They are also very worried about their own safety and are always paying attention to the development of the situation.

To their relief, the new local forces were very friendly to them, especially the man named Xia Ping, who spoke very good English and treated them very well.

He also took the initiative to talk about running schools and hospitals, which I could not imagine before.

Chinese people hate and fear foreigners. They have many misunderstandings about foreigners. There are many legends about hospitals tricking babies into making medicine.

They encountered many difficulties in preaching in China. Maybe through this enlightened Chinese people they can open up the relationship with the people.

With so many foreigners in Emei, Xia Ping would not let go of business opportunities.

The activities organized by the exchange meeting have been publicized to foreigners for a long time. Several contracts will be signed here today.

In fact, these contracts had been negotiated some time ago, and the contracts were originally scheduled to be signed today to build momentum. Unexpectedly, businessmen from Leshan Wutong came to sign a large order yesterday and were the first to do so.

But this is also a good thing. The contract signed today has pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

These contracts are for asbestos, silk, bristle, and tung oil, mainly goods coming from Qingxi. These goods are in urgent demand for foreigners.

Use these goods to exchange for printing equipment, mechanical equipment, mining equipment, hydroelectric generators and other industrial equipment.

Xia Ping's purchase made the foreign trade company extremely happy. In the past, it was very difficult to sell a set of industrial equipment in Xichuan. Xichuan is a small-scale peasant economy, and production is based on one household. There are few large-scale machines for large-scale production, and there are wealthy businessmen.

Due to these and other concerns, the business of the foreign company did not go smoothly in Xichuan.

But as soon as they came into contact with Xia Ping, they felt they had found a treasure. Xia Ping not only did not reject modern industrial technology, but actively introduced new technologies.

There were so many orders to be placed that foreigners did not dare to accept them, mainly because they were afraid that Xia Ping would not be able to pay so much.

Xia Ping also knows that you have to eat one meal at a time. Once the industrial scale is established and people can see the benefits, it will be much easier to raise funds.

There are many rich people in Qianle Salt Farm and Furong Salt Farm. When there is money to be made, I believe they will attract countless funds.

Today, we showed them the land to be acquired. They are planning to build a small thermal power station to provide industrial electricity.

I led foreigners to see the planning and land acquisition, and unexpectedly met the Leshan Wutong team.

Everyone in the Renyi Society wanted to stay away. Mr. Han from Leshan had sharp eyes and recognized Xia Ping at a glance, who was communicating with foreigners. He waved to Xia Ping and shouted loudly: "Hi, Mr. Xia, how are you! I asked you yesterday

President Gong, where have you been? He said you were busy, so you were with foreigners."

Xia Ping could no longer pretend not to know him. He said hello to Mr. Han and wanted to slip away through another road, but Mr. Han grabbed his hand and introduced him to other businessmen.

Mr. Han is rich, but he is still far behind Wu Dingchen and other salt industry bosses. Yesterday, his presence was not prominent. Today, catching Xia Ping is just a chance to show off in front of Wu Dingchen.

Wu Dingchen now became the leader of the Qianle visiting group. Gong Jun was beside him, and the others were walking behind them.

Following Master Han's introduction, Xia Ping said politely and without being humble or overbearing: "Hello, Mr. Wu, my name is Xia Ping. I am Gong Jun's brother. I am very happy to meet you. Please forgive me for not coming to toast yesterday because I had something to do!"

The two of them observed each other, and Wu Dingchen couldn't help but sigh: This Gong Jun is too powerful, how come he has accepted so many talented people.

Wu Dingchen saw the scene of arguing with foreigners just now, and now he has a temperament that is neither humble nor arrogant. He is also a man who has been in a high position for a long time. He has always been very accurate in judging people and has always believed in his own vision.

Wu Dingchen did not dare to neglect the person in front of him, so he returned the courtesy and said in a joking tone: "Mr. Wu, I am not much older than you. How can we be brothers?"

The reason why he became the richest man in Qianle and was called brother to the prefect was because of his foresight.

Others were secretly surprised. They were well aware of Wu Dingchen's methods and vision. Now that he was directly calling Xia Ping his brother, everyone couldn't help but look at Xia Ping with admiration.

Xia Ping was flattered and said with a smile: "Brother, listen to your brother's instructions. Angkor, let me introduce these foreigners to you. This is the British missionary Pastor Smith, this is the manager of Deutsche Bank Hermann, and this is the French Father Michel." ,This is Dr. Masem..."

Xia Ping introduced them one by one, and finally only two people were left without introduction.

The faces of the two people turned dark. They were both responsible for the southwest China region of Mitsui Corporation of Japan. One was named Kotori Bushio and the other was named Jusei Taro.

The two of them have always had resentments in their hearts. Ever since they met Xia Ping for more than half a month, they have always wanted to cooperate economically with Xia Ping, but Xia Ping ignored them.

The asbestos, tung oil, and pig bristles that had just been shipped to Qinglongchang were all bought by other countries, and he didn't even catch a hair.

He tried to collude with Xia Ping many times, but Xia Ping refused to piss him off, and the several contracts they made had nothing to do with the Japanese.

Mitsui Co., Ltd. is not a simple company. It has a military background. In addition to economic activities, it also conducts espionage activities.

I have always wanted to take root and learn about Xichuan’s geographical environment, hydrological data, human culture, mineral resources, and economic conditions.

After the rise of Japan, the world's colonies have been carved up by the great powers. Japan only occupies a very small part, so the main target of robbery is China.

Because China has a vast land and abundant resources, and because China is poor and weak, it is a good target for bullying.

And China's rear area is Nishikawa. Disturbing Nishikawa is like giving China a heavy punch in the back.

Therefore, he wanted to cultivate pro-Japanese forces in the West and felt that Xia Ping was a worthy target. Unexpectedly, Xia Ping seemed to have a grudge against Japan.

But they are not afraid of Xia Ping because they have the empire backing them.

In the past two days, they originally wanted to find an excuse to start a dispute, create a diplomatic incident, and find an excuse for Japan to launch troops.

At least intimidate the Qing government and get some more oil from them.

"Xia Pingjun, what do you mean? Why didn't you introduce us after introducing others?"

Xia Ping looked at them jokingly: "Because I introduced you, I only made others laugh."

"Why are you making other people laugh?"

"Okay, let me introduce you two to everyone. Listen carefully and pay attention to the meaning of the name." Pointing to one person, he said: "His name is Xiaoniao... you are not male. You are a little bird, but you are still a male." Get up?"

Xia Ping paused for a moment, and suddenly the crowd burst into laughter.

Foreigners don't know what Chinese people laugh about, so it's a bit baffling.

Xia Ping also laughed, pointed at the other one and said: "There is another one who is even more funny, his name is illegitimate...Taro, you are an illegitimate child, you are so shady, and you changed the name to let the whole world know, how can you not be as good as you?" Shameless."

"Hehehe" everyone onlookers burst out laughing.

The two Japanese finally understood what Xia Ping meant and were filled with anger. Jusheng Taro was so angry that he trembled all over, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Bagya Road." In anger, he punched the chopping board next to the tofu seller.
