Liu Peiqi and Simpson drank two glasses of each other and said in a low voice, "You are from London and you don't know how deep the water is here!"
"The Zhang Xiaowen you met first was the disciple brought out by Hu Xueyan, and later he was appreciated by the old shopkeeper Fan Ru... It's a pity that one wrong step led to another, and the head of state sent him to Suzhou to be an ordinary teller!"
"Don't look at his salary of three silver dollars a month, but you have to know that a tiger will never fall. This kind of person has so many connections. A few words of advice can make ordinary people make a fortune!"
"So there are countless people who want to invite him to dinner every day, but no one can do it!"
"Zhang Xiaowen doesn't care about the small money at all. As far as I know, there are as many as seven or eight companies, banks, and funds that are secretly giving him a salary at the moment!"
"This is not a one-man battle. Zhang Xiaowen was able to plan such a large strangulation battle because he had the support of a group of big capitalists!"
"Now that Zhang Xiaowen has taken away all his sins, those people will definitely protect him, and they also owe him a big favor!"
"What's more important is that those capitalists understand that although Zhang Xiaowen was reassigned, his brain is still there and his connections are not lost. He even became more famous because of this failed financial war!"
"Famousness is a treasure! He only needs a chance, and sooner or later he will soar into the sky... Capitalists are patient, they can wait and wait for opportunities to fall from the sky!"
"When the time comes, this Zhang DaDa will definitely lead others to do it again! Then it will be another big event that will cause the world to collapse!"
"Who knows, how many people will become rich overnight, and how many people will commit suicide by jumping off buildings!"
Every word Liu Peiqi said tickled Simpson's skin. Journalists were afraid that nothing would happen, and that nothing serious would happen. If they could get such a clue, it might be a good opportunity to make a name for themselves in the future!
"Mr. Liu... thank you very much for your generosity. If you need my help in any way, please feel free to ask. Of course, there are many things in the Qing Empire, and I hope you can give me your advice!"
"Ouch... Foreign masters still use my Chinese idioms? It's awesome... Of course, it's good for us to take care of each other, it's good for both of us!"
What is Liu Peiqi’s identity? That's a broker! What I do is a job of cultivating people, and I would love to be able to establish friendship with foreign adults in London!
"Zhang Xiaowen is not simple, isn't he? In fact, if you look at those two people carefully, the backstage is even more amazing! Cao Shuai is a Han slave rescued by the army that conquered the west. He was originally the young shopkeeper of the caravan in Xi'an who ran for smuggling in the Western Regions!"
"I was greedy for huge profits from goods from the Western Regions and took the risk of smuggling during the war. It turned out that Agub's people were not ordinary bandits at all, and there were no unspoken rules to follow!"
"All the people and goods were detained and used as coolies! If it hadn't been for the rescue by Commander Zuo Zongtang's army, they would have died of exhaustion and starvation!"
"Of course they have to repay their life-saving grace, and the task Marshal Zuo gave them is a good job that can make money! They can make money and repay their kindness, do you think they can stop working hard?"
"I came to Jiangnan this time, ostensibly to find jade workers for the commander, and to think about a few pieces of high-quality Hetian jade as a gift for the emperor... But the real purpose..."
Simpson's eyes widened and his round ears leaned forward to listen carefully. Liu Peiqi smiled and said, "Shuai Cao's real purpose is actually to collude with the Chinese!"
"Did you know? The imperial court has basically approved the request of the Chinese Concession Special Zone. After the wedding, the land will be handed over!"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money. Zuo Zongtang is in the northwest, but he still has to find pension funds for his subordinates of 100,000 yuan!"
"They want to find a relationship with Xiao Letian and dig out some ways to make money!"
"Actually, I am the same. I worked hard to get so much land from Zhenjiang. The purpose is to wait for the head of state to come and transfer it to the special zone. Zhenjiang will also open a port!"
"When the time comes, the Chinese will invest heavily in establishing a special zone here, and the land in my hand will not need to be sold. I will rent it for a long time and follow the rising tide!"
"From now on, this will be the family's inheritance for thousands of years!"
"Haha... This is how you can really make a fortune. You must make plans in advance before the people know about it! At the moment, the people in Zhenjiang are still farming stupidly, but in fact, people with connections have begun to buy land secretly!"
"Of course, you have to have some skills when buying land. You have to know in advance where the Chinese people plan to locate it. If you buy the wrong land, you won't make any money!"
Simpson exclaimed, "Oh my God, isn't this insider trading? Where is the fairness?"
"Fuck you! Fair? Is your British Empire fair? Don't you know how big the gap between the rich and the poor is? Can those shoe shiners and newspaper sellers on the streets of London get fair information?"
"Besides, even if they know fair information, do they have the money to invest in this kind of business? The smallest business here is calculated in units of ten thousand taels of silver!"
"Even if they knew about it, they wouldn't get involved! We Chinese are very particular about blessings, and the difference between people's blessings is huge. What else can we do?"
"When you were reincarnated, you were already divided into three, six, and nine grades. How can you tell me where fairness comes from?"
Simpson was speechless and had nothing to say. The gap between rich and poor in Britain was actually much wider than that of the Qing Empire. However, during the heyday of the Empire, the problem of food and clothing was solved!
Ordinary people will not starve to death and can still eat some meat! The real gap between rich and poor is even more serious than that of the Qing Empire, and the information blockade is even tighter!
Of course Simpson, as a reporter, knew this, so he could only blush and say nothing at this moment!
"Then Mr. Liu...that Mr. Sheng Jiujie, is he more legendary? Why is the woman in black next to him so strange!"
When Simpson asked Sheng Jiujie, Liu Peiqi also straightened up and even sobered up!
"Ouch... It's okay for you to ask me. Don't ask around after you get out. There are more things going on here!"
Liu Peiqi lowered her head and glanced at Sheng Jiujie, and found that the young man had fallen asleep in the woman's arms, and then whispered.
"I don't know much about Sheng Jiujie either... He only rose to prominence in Jiangnan this year. I heard before that he is a small businessman in sea transportation!"
"The person behind this person is Xiao Letian's wife, that is, the power of the rear party!"
"You know, although the Chinese ethnic group is now prosperous, there are gradually many factions in it. Even the head of state's own family is not a piece of metal!"
"The two ladies are two huge forces! Mrs. Fuhui, the bannerman's aunt, is a first-class imperial conferment granted by the imperial court! She is currently stationed in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty in Tanggu!"
"The eldest lady has the most industries in Tanggu, owning a large number of factories and land, and the eldest lady's brother Qing Sanye is the founder of the entire telegraph industry in the Qing Dynasty!"
"The money is too much to count, like water flowing in the sea..."
"The power of this grandma is incredible...and this Sheng Jiujie is not from the grandma's side, but the second lady Huniu..."
"Bah, bah, bah... slap, slap... he should be called Mrs. Tiger of the first rank... he is Mrs. Tiger's retainer!"
