Chapter 153 The Fatal Vulnerability of the Rising Sun Project
The road back to the capital was not easy. The weather was cold and the roads were icy. The carriage drove very slowly. The carriage driver Liu Mingcheng walked for two and a half days. Li Guolou finally stayed at the Xiaoquan Inn for one night.
Without retaining Li Guolou, General Koizumi remained enthusiastic and refused to let Li Guolou leave as soon as he came. When we parted, it was like saying goodbye forever. Everyone said tacitly, "Take care!" The store owner's favorite saying is, "Welcome again!"
"No more.
The next day, under the hospitality of Su Ding's shop, Li Guolou checked into the official post office. At the banquet in the evening, all the local governors came.
It was inevitable that an official prostitute would come to the building, and if he didn't give people the opportunity to make money, he would not be able to make money. Of course, he did not let the official prostitute sleep with him, but sent the most beautiful official prostitute away with a generous reward.
Living in a luxurious third-grade official residence, Jelia would rather endure the cold than watch the scenery in the courtyard at night. The houses that the rich live in are at best exquisite, and the official post offices are luxurious and majestic. This is something that wealthy businessmen cannot match.
Even the rich European aristocrats could not afford to build this kind of residence. The residences of officials were so grand that people couldn't help but feel nostalgic for them.
Yelia was wearing a mink coat and mink hat and was not afraid of the cold and was interested in visiting the museum. Li Guolou conscientiously held a lantern and accompanied Yelia for a while in the cold wind.
While playing, Li Guolou said: "Yelia, have you seen those official prostitutes? Others are feeling sorry for them. They are so beautiful. It is not difficult to find a decent man, so why not be good. But they stay in such a luxurious place, and
What kind of place can they like? Others are lamenting the pain of selling their bodies. In fact, these official prostitutes are already enjoying life. They have no shortage of money and it is not difficult to be good. It is rare that they look down on others.
.”
Jelia asked: "Mike, where did those official prostitutes come from?"
Li Guolou said: "Most of them were introduced by the superiors when they saw prostitutes with outstanding appearance. You have seen the people here take action. Businessmen cannot compete with officials and businessmen when trying to get rich. Officials in the Qing Empire were businessmen, and they controlled the country.
There are also some official prostitutes who are the wives and children of prisoners, but if they can get here, they don’t want to go back and live an ordinary life. Since ancient times, there have been no women who have become official prostitutes and want to live and die, only those who don’t want to leave after they come.
Woman, can you live in a place like this, do you think you are willing to leave?"
"Winter is already so beautiful. I wonder what will happen when the flowers are in full bloom? Mike, please bring me back again in the future." Jelia turned around in a circle.
Li Guolou said: "Yelia, this kind of place is not open to outsiders. We can only come here once in a while. If you come and ask me to climb up in the future, you can come and play."
Jelia said: "Isn't that too wasteful? Guanyi will lose money."
Li Guolou said: "The state has to subsidize this every year. It has been the same for thousands of years. To be an official is to be supported by the state. Your European officials are similar, but there are no official prostitutes."
Jelia nodded and said: "Oh, the difference is not big. French officials also report prostitution to the public account. Mike, you should stop being a third-rank official. You waste so much time on complimenting each other. You should stretch out your claws and fish around.
The money is good. This kind of place is too big and it’s not interesting to see. Let’s move into the room.”
The two of them turned around and walked back. Li Guolou replied: "The only disadvantage of being an official is that there are too many activities. In the officialdom, you have to flatter yourself, and during the break, you have to compliment the boss's bad feet. I stayed with the boss for two days.
I’m tired of it, and I think it’s better to do business, as long as I defraud people out of their money. I’ve never been soft on defrauding people’s money, and now my family’s expenses are paid for by others.”
Jelia nodded and said: "Mike, that's true. I was moved by the Chaoyang development plan you mentioned. Since you are the matchmaker, do you think I can invest money in this business?"
Li Guolou laughed and said: "Yelia, this plan seems to be perfect on both sides. If the Qing government signs the contract, it cannot go back on it. In fact, there is a fatal loophole. Who will have the last laugh is still unknown."
Li Guolou refused to talk anymore and had to wait until he hugged the blonde beauty on the bed before continuing. Yelia refused to obey, and the two finally talked about this topic in a big wooden barrel.
Yelia wiped Li Guolou's back, which made Li Guolou shake his mind and shook his head and said: "Dear Yelia, the Chaoyang development plan is perfect. It is certain that it will make money as long as it is implemented, but the plan is too big.
Lao Du and those fake foreign devils couldn't hold on, so they were empty-handed from the beginning. Du, the boss, thought he had found a loophole in the British Citibank. He could sign a contract with Citibank and get the largest share of the cost of developing the Chaoyang development plan, and build
Du, the boss, calculated the expenses of hotels, shops and restaurants very accurately. Based on his relationship with Citibank, he guaranteed that there would be no problem and Citibank would lend him the money. This is how it started, but he ignored that the money from the bank was paid in installments.
For those who have been approved, the bank will pay according to the progress of the project. It is precisely because of this that the big boss Du will lose all his money, the project guarantee will be delayed, and the workers will have to work hard. Do you understand? The Qing government will make things difficult if it knows that it has done a loss-making business.
The most important thing is that the British Citibank will also deliberately find trouble and not provide the remaining follow-up funds. The chairman and directors of the British Citibank are not stupid. They also see this piece of fat and are waiting for the big boss to die.
By then, the boss, Du Weijian, has been mortgaged to British Citibank. He can't get a loan elsewhere. You tell him how to die. Those fake foreigners who followed him will be the first to jump out and rebel. By then, Citibank will pay back the interest.
This will require the big brother Du to commit suicide."
Yelia walked up to Li Guolou and said, "Little villain, isn't the boss Du your friend? Why didn't you help him since you saw it?"
Li Guolou said: "The fat is his, not mine. I just want to snatch it away, just like I am snatching it from you. For you, I am willing to believe in Catholicism. For you, I want to earn a mountain of gold."
, what did I promise you? Have you forgotten?"
Yelia's blood boiled and she was so excited that she hugged Li Guolou, and the two of them bonded in the water.
After a round, the two of them were lying on the bed. Yelia looked at Li Guolou sideways with a blush on her face and said, "Mike, what are you going to do?"
Li Guolou said: "I am not a ruthless person. Of course I will not watch my friends die. I will first buy their shares from those fake foreign devils who can't hold it back. Those fake foreign devils will still be grateful.
I asked them to get out early and made money. Do you think I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth? In the future, they will not be able to scold me in person if they regret it. In this way, we will slowly erode the Chaoyang Project. As long as the boss Du does not let go, I will not take action.
, when the boss Du couldn't hold it in any longer and sold most of his stocks to me, the Chaoyang Project would be ours. I will find the money, the workers will work faster, and I will deal with the government officials. As for Citibank UK
Well, I just need to discuss private cooperation with their board members. What results do you think will happen? Even the chairman will have a hand in it. My dear, as long as the Chaoyang Project presents a positive image to others, you will be the first female in the world from now on.
Chairman of the bank, you will rewrite history."
Yelia turned over and threw himself on Li Guolou and said: "Mike, your plan is so perfect. You deserve to have the mind of a great detective. The development of the situation will not be much different. I am afraid that you will be soft-hearted and talk about brotherhood."
, and that boss Du’s eldest daughter will give you a few more kisses, and then you go help my father-in-law again."
Li Guolou chuckled and said: "My dear, I have thought about this, but I will not be soft-hearted for your sake. I did not let the boss Du die. He just made less money and would not let his family be ruined.
.”
Li Guolou said it nicely, but in his heart he thought that Du Xianyu was about to go bankrupt in repaying bank interest. As long as he was in power, Du Xianyu would be nothing in the business world. He would not give Du Xianyu a chance to turn around.
, there is only one big boss, and that is "Third Brother" Li Guolou. "Women!" He has good women, bad women, women who stick to him, and women who win, who love him. There is a little girl Du Yingying.
He doesn't care whether he gets it or not. Having Yelia is the driving force for him to move forward. This is the trophy he has won. Li Guolou will never let go.
Li Guolou started to move again. This time Yelia did not beg for mercy and kept fighting with Li Guolou until dawn. Women will become ambitious when they are ambitious. Yelia had a sweet dream in her heart, becoming the first in the world.
The title of female banker will be the first diamond in her crown.
On Saturday afternoon, the carriage drove slowly to Zhengyang Gate. Although Yelia dared to see the dead bodies, she did not dare to look at the heads hanging on the upper floors of Zhengyang Gate. She had to pay the entrance fee to enter the city gate.
Officials came to check the belongings, and some goods were taxed when brought into the capital.
The city gate guards are under the jurisdiction of the Nine Gate Admirals and are part of the army. The people are extremely serious. Soldiers are the easiest to fool and the simplest. They are young and energetic. They believe in the country and their superiors, and it is their bounden duty to obey military orders.
Li Guolou's documents and Yelia's passport are of no use here. They have to pay taxes on a lot of new year's goods they bought. After an abacus, they listed out the list and gave Li Guolou receipts, totaling four
Two hundred and fifty articles.
It is nonsense to say that the city gate guards are corrupt and bribery. They are the image of the capital. How can they destroy their image for a few pennies? As for how the above is divided, these city gate guards have no idea. The darkness of a city can only be seen from the facade.
It cannot be seen from the above, but what ordinary people see is that everyone pays and is released equally. There is a time when you don’t have to pay the city gate fee, that is, if you have an imperial edict and return to the capital with the imperial edict, it is purchasing for the royal family, and you don’t have to pay.
Entry fee.
The long queue passing by Li Guolou was from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Each carriage was sealed tightly, and the driver stood straight. Hearing their shouts, you knew they were eunuchs. There were hundreds of carriages and hundreds of eunuchs.
Passing by, people can't help but raise eyebrows. The emperor wants to celebrate the New Year and buy new year's goods. The palace with tens of thousands of people wants to eat and drink. There is a constant flow of carriages from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in and out of the city gate every day.
Jelia said excitedly: "Mike, this is the first time I have seen so many eunuchs. They look very masculine, not feminine at all."
Li Guolou said with a smile: "They think they are still men, and even if they have some money, they still have wives. There are more senior eunuchs than I have wives. Really feminine eunuchs have no time to succeed, and eunuchs also have to take into account their image, even if their voices are closer to women's voices
, and others, just treat them as men. That Bazi’s godfather is the great eunuch Ande Hai. Please invite Ande Hai over for dinner tomorrow. Give him a few drinks and let him take advantage of you."
Jelia angrily scolded: "Go to hell, you bastard, don't play tricks with me. I'll beat you to death with a brick so that you know what liver tremor is."
The Western beauties spoke the capital's dialect, and some eunuchs passing by heard it and couldn't help but giggle. The originally neat and solemn team disappeared, and each eunuch staggered out of shape.
Li Guolou took off his hat with a low eyebrow and bowed to salute. God knows if there are any eunuchs inside, so he should be more honest.
In the capital, eunuchs are the ones who like to take advantage the most. They pay less when buying things. This is the rule made by eunuchs. But eunuchs never fail to give money and do not take things from the people for nothing. Eunuchs also strictly abide by this rule. This is a strange thing.
Eunuchs are a group of people who are rich but don’t show off. No matter how low-key they are, eunuchs are the most low-key group in the capital. All the people who pay two or three copper coins in the theater to listen to the opera are eunuchs. People who can make money from eunuchs,
