Chapter 324 The Chaoyang Project Remembered by the World
Xiao Bangzi watched Li Guolou go away. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said to the people on duty on the street: "Please guard the intersection for me. People who are not living here are not allowed to let you go. Donkey balls, do it." You're dead." After saying that, Xiao Bangzi strutted towards Cai's alley. This time he no longer walked around wearing flowers, but turned two corners along the street.
But I saw a group of Manchus, two to three hundred of them, holding banners and chanting slogans, "Down with the demolition office. The foreign devils go back to the concession. Give me justice. I will defend our Manchu rights to the death."
Raising their arms and shouting in waves, these Manchus walked towards Caijia Hutong. They were intercepted by a large group of heavily armed men holding big wooden clubs. The road was impassable. The two sides were in a stalemate on the messy street.
Xiao Bangzi took a look at a group of fearless demonstrators. There were men, women, and children. They only dared to shout a few times. No one dared to attack the cordon. He was used to it. He was not interested. He walked past the demonstrators and shouted. Said: "Get out of the way. Good dogs don't block the way."
The group of people glared at Xiao Bangzi with raging anger, but they dared not say anything in anger. They made a way for Xiao Bangzi to walk past. All they heard behind them was the sound of spitting "Bah."
Little Bangzi didn't even look back. He waved his hand to indicate that he heard. He didn't care about those Manchu people and went straight to the demolition office compound.
Several main people in charge of the demolition office were having a meeting in the living room. Xiao Bangzi stepped across the threshold and shouted: "Grandma's bear, the god of plague has sent it away. Master, those Manchus are getting more and more fierce. What should we do?" "
Nanyunshan Fuxu said: "Well, we were discussing this just now. We should still pull a group and beat a group. The five most vicious brothers of the Yan family should be thrown into the Yongding River to feed the bastards. Grandma's family has been in the underworld. .Things who don’t know how to live or die. I gave them three houses. They are still not satisfied. They said that they have five brothers and they should have one. In this case, let them go to the Dragon King to complain."
Huang Guang was startled and said: "Master Huang, how will this end? There are elders and younger children in the family. Aren't they going to file a lawsuit?"
Nan Yunshan glanced ferociously and said: "Fat, long fat. Don't worry about this. We, Nantian, also want to get a brand name. Who will be afraid of us if we don't kill people? You don't need to teach us how to eradicate the weeds."
Huang Guang gave a frightened look, as if he had seen the most terrifying scene. He looked at another fake foreigner, Chen Bulei, looking for an ally. But when he saw Chen Bulei lowering his head to drink Longjing, he sighed: "Fresh spring tea. The taste of West Lake Longjing." It’s great. It’s a pity that Little Plum doesn’t have the blessing to drink it.”
Duan Muchun sighed: "It's a pity that the Chaoyang Plan was not invested by Xiao Lizi. If it were invested by Xiao Lizi, how could we have been so miserable? The three armies were rewarded and everyone benefited. Du, the boss, is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
Huang Guang, the chairman of the demolition office, has a name but no power. The power of personnel transfer is in the hands of Nanyunshan. The financial power is in the hands of Chen Bulei. He is just a nominal chairman. Everything depends on the faces of his two deputies. Seeing the two deputies, they have a clear understanding of each other. He thinks for himself. He doesn't care about murder and silence. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He said helplessly: "What are you doing to Xiao Lizi? Aren't you going to make Xiao Lizi bear the infamy?"
Chen Bulei interjected: "Chairman Huang, didn't you see that Sister Xiaofang notified us in advance? Xiao Lizi is going to be an official. There are some things that should be kept out of sight. It is up to us to wipe the butt. If something happens, I will bear it." The worst case scenario is running to Hong Kong or Macau."
Huang Guang said unwillingly: "Master Nan, peace is more important. I will go and talk to them again. Everyone should act according to their conscience."
Nanyunshan couldn't refuse. He looked at Chen Bulei. The meaning was self-evident.
"Fat. You are not in good health. Take two days off and come back to work. Then you can negotiate with those Manchu uncles." Chen Bulei glanced at the chubby yellow man. There was a look of indifference in his eyes. He was told by the British Fake foreigners who have been influenced by human culture. How come they don’t even have the spirit of colonialism in their moral character? They don’t look like people who do great things.
Huang Guang muttered. No one could hear clearly what he was saying. Now he has sold the textile factory in Tianjin and invested all his money in the Chaoyang Project. He depends on the boss Du's face when doing things. How can he do his own thing? .
Chen Bulei said proudly: "Chairman Huang, you just sit here. If you are an old man, the old lady comes to you to cry. You cry to them too. Learn from Uncle Liu Huang. Don't learn from Xiao Lizi. If you lose your family, you will lose his Li family. You I still have a family to support.”
"Hey, little Li's life is good. We have a hard life." Huang Guang figured it out immediately. No matter what happened to him, his reputation has long been ruined. The Manchus outside are scolding his mother for doing all kinds of evil things for demolition. It was all under his instigation. In reality, the truth is to reap the benefits. Once the deal is done, and you get rich, you will sell the shares in the Chaoyang Project. At the worst, you can go to the Tianjin Concession to work as an apartment and live a free and easy life.
"Don't say this name. It's not appropriate to say it now. We are so bored by ourselves. We have to bear the good or bad by ourselves." Chen Bulei knew clearly that if there were any mistakes in the future, he would still have to rely on Li Guolou to make up for it. "Little Plum" is a big deal. Use this. This is the strong backing of these fake foreign devils. They spend a lot of money to promote the "little plum" to the position. How can they destroy their own future?
Nan Yunshan stood up and patted his dusty clothes. He cursed and said: "This place is really dirty. I really want to burn it all down. Disciples, let's go and maintain law and order. Don't let Chairman Huang be in trouble." After Nan Yunshan left the living room, several disciples followed him. Suddenly there were fewer people in the room.
Chen Bulei squinted and said: "Fat and fat. What's wrong with you? You took the wrong medicine. It's not easy for Nan Ba Tian to be cruel. But you just come out. What do you mean? How big is this deal? It's not like you don't You know, if the Chaoyang area is not completely demolished, the funds of Standard Chartered Bank will not be in place. You want to starve us to death."
Huang Guang said with an embarrassed playful smile: "Skinny monkey, don't be angry. We are the second generals of Humph. We have both red and white faces. Didn't I just snort and stop talking."
Chen Bulei warned: "We are all fake foreign devils. We are different from Little Plum. We make money by being ruthless and ruthless. It is difficult to make money for the country. Don't imitate Little Plum and fish for fame. Painting a tiger will not turn into an anti-dog. You are not worthy of being a dog." Patriot."
"Hi." Huang Guang stood up and bowed to Chen Bulei respectfully and apologized. They are all lackeys of imperialism. They have no feelings for the Qing Empire. They tricked and deceived the Qing government and acted like a white wolf with nothing. . It is the greatest glory of their lives. It can be written into the history books. History will record the "Sunrise Project" as a flawless planning masterpiece. It has become a legend in the business world. And they are all historical. Witnesses are also remembered by the world.
At this time, in the restaurant of the British Guild Hall, Li Guolou sneezed heavily. Fortunately, he covered it with a napkin. He wiped his nose and said angrily: "Xiaofang, those two fake foreign devils are scolding me. Grandma. I thought. I'm easy to deceive. I just don't care about them. It depends on how I deal with them in the future."
Chen Xiangfang took a sip of wine, glanced at the foreigners around her, and raised her chest high. Everyone here knew Li Guolou. She didn't want to lose to the French woman Jelia.
"Forget it, Xiaolou. Even the skinny monkey has a secret. They want to explain it to the big boss Du, but they won't explain it to you. You deserve to be angry."
"Hey. I originally just wanted to make money, live a carefree life, and poach the Qing Empire. There was no need to discuss it. But who told the Japanese Six to be kind to me? Now I just want to serve the country and the people, and trample the Union Jack flag under my feet. Xiao Fang, do you know that in these foreign places, they don’t even pay land tax. Commercial tax is also meaningless. Most preferential nation treatment.”
Li Guolou couldn't help but denounced the privileges of foreigners in China. They took advantage of the Qing Empire. Still not satisfied, he still stirred up troubles again and again. He made the Qing Empire sign one humiliating and traitorous treaty after another, and allowed the country's resources to flow abroad. Tens, tens, and hundreds of millions of silver were lost abroad. Every time the Qing Empire rose, it wanted to make changes, but in exchange for greater humiliation.
Chen Xiangfang has no dissatisfaction with her current life. She couldn't help but comfort her: "Xiaolou, don't think too much. Even if you stand on the court, with your age, no qualifications, and no merit, no one will listen to you. .I think you should use your intelligence and talents to make money and serve the country and the people. Let’s wait a few years before talking about it.”
Li Guolou was very anxious and said: "How can this be possible? I will go to see my uncle in the afternoon. Since Guiziliu took out my statement to discuss it in the Prime Minister's Office, my uncle should have seen it too. I want to hear what my uncle has to say. opinion."
Chen Xiangfang glanced at me and said, "Xiaolou, you have already been rejected twice. I'm not afraid that this trip will be in vain."
"Humph. Xiaofang. Who am I? A different kind among the fake foreign devils. A student of the Sixth Japanese Devil. The more my uncle embarrasses me, the more dissatisfied I become. So what if I rely on women? I still rely on the fake foreign devils who betrayed the country. Could it be? Are you saying that I am also a traitor?" Li Guolou knew very well that his qualifications and background were somewhat shady. But this could not change his patriotism.
Chen Xiangfang looked Li Guolou up and down. Today he was dressed as a fake foreign devil again. He shook his head and said: "Xiaolou, how can this be done? Go home and change your clothes..."
"No change." Li Guolou interrupted the nagging Chen Xiangfang and said stubbornly: "I will go like this. At worst, it will be an empty trip. Riding and shooting in Hufu. Do you understand? Our Qing Dynasty will have a day. I will wear foreign clothes, learn advanced Western knowledge and culture, and integrate into Western life. If it weren't for the constraints of my ancestral family, I would still want to cut my braids."
Chen Xiangfang snorted and said with a smile: "Well, to be honest, I'm used to seeing you in western clothes. You have the spirit of Longma. I also like to see you in western clothes. My daughter Lingling also likes it."
Speaking of their daughter Li Lingling, the two of them couldn't help but miss their daughter. Li Lingling, who was as big as a brat, was willing to leave her parents and go out to play at such a young age. Her heart had long since gone wild.
After talking about some family matters, she turned to the topic. Chen Xiangfang warned: "Xiaolou, don't say reactionary words. Honest officials are good officials. Corrupt officials should be defeated. Don't say good things about He Shen. I'm afraid of you. I can’t control my mouth. I’m talking nonsense.”
Li Guolou touched his nose and said happily: "Xiaofang, there are some things that cannot be said. Those famous ministers who retired from old age and returned to their hometowns built villas in their hometowns. All members of the same family lived in mansions. In turn, they were called scholarly families. .Things have two sides. It depends on how you look at it. If Heshen had the opportunity to retire and return to his hometown, it would not be that he had accumulated into a wealthy and famous family. Jinshi and the first rank appeared from generation to generation. One by one, they were on duty in the court. The history of our Qing Empire It will be rewritten because of He Shen."
"Hey, I don't believe you will change. You still have a bad mouth in front of Guiziliu. Run in front of your uncle. I think you are going to be like Sun Wukong and cause trouble in heaven." Chen Xiangfang shook her head and sighed. It could be seen that Li Guolou was holding a breath in his heart. He would never give in in front of Li Hongzhang and stick to his own opinion. Not one of those eleven statements would be changed.
Li Guolou looked into the distance. The sunlight outside the window was shining on the window sill. A pigeon stayed on the window sill, as if spying on his actions. Suddenly, the white pigeon fluttered and flew away. He was like a white pigeon flying high. Same. Flying in the high blue sky.
