Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Before the auctioneer could speak, Maxson raised his bidding card again. This time his bid was: [-] million US dollars.

No one made a sound at the scene, and everyone opened their mouths, completely dumbfounded there.

At this time, the auctioneer had already become a spectator. He accidentally dropped the gavel in his hand on the ground. If that was the case, he didn't know whether it was a deal or not.

After staying for about a minute, Qiao Zhiyong showed his sign again and directly raised the bid to 1 million.

Although Maximo owns the largest oil company in the world, even though he is sitting on a huge wealth, he can't help breaking out in a cold sweat at this time. After all, this is money, and it is measured in billions. Now he and the downstairs The unidentified Chinese seemed to be two powerful boxers in a death contest. Both sides punched each other violently, and each punch was heavier and harder than the other. Whoever can't resist first will be the first to be knocked down on the stage, even this is a fierce duel that is more cruel than a death match!

Ma Gongfu and the others turned pale with fright, and said to Qiao Zhiyong: "Boss, you are risking your life, even if you are risking your life, there is no way to play it. Have you seen it clearly? This is [-] million, just sell all our belongings." It may not be possible to repay it.”

Without saying a word, Qiao Zhiyong just stared calmly at Maximo in the box upstairs.

After struggling for a while, Maximo gritted his teeth and made an offer of [-] million US dollars. This was already the most difficult decision he could make.

Qiao Zhiyong wrote the number on the bidding board without saying a word, and when he was about to lift it up, Ma Gongfu hugged his arm tightly and said anxiously: "Boss, are you crazy? If this bid is sold, we will You have to die in the United States. No, this time, no matter what, you will not be allowed to do stupid things again." No matter how angry Qiao Zhiyong was, Ma Gongfu would not let go of his arm.Ma Xun and Gao Yu next to him couldn't stop trying to persuade the owner to stop, otherwise it would kill someone.

Only Yan Weifan hugged his shoulders beside him and said in a dark voice: "Look at the virtues of the three of you, is the boss a disrespectful person? When did you see him do anything reckless? The boss has a reason for doing so. The foreigner who does this and that is nothing more than a businessman, our boss is different, he has the emperor behind him, it is a country, what are you afraid of?"

Ma Gongfu relaxed a little, but still insisted: "With so much money, what if the emperor blames it, what will happen, none of the four of us can escape, and we have to be pushed to the vegetable market and beheaded."

Yan Weifan rolled his eyes and said: "Don't worry, you can see how far away. The emperor is a person who looks down on the world. We can't even think of what he thinks. Since the emperor has authorized the owner, he must have his reasons. What kind of idle mind are you following blindly? Get out of here!"

Yan Weifan could not help but push Ma Gongfu aside.Qiao Zhiyong quickly raised the bidding card. Seeing that the card was raised, Ma Gongfu immediately slumped on the chair like a deflated ball, muttering to himself: "It's over, this time it's over!"

Resurgence: Chapter 464 of World War II Is Ordered to Auction

There was no sound in the auction hall, everyone's eyes were on Qiao Zhiyong's bid card, everyone was stunned by the number on it, even the most active auctioneer in the audience stared blankly at the bid card.Maxson, who was still smug just now, was already sweating profusely at this time. After staring at him for more than ten seconds, he finally lowered his head in frustration and left the VIP box with his assistant. He knew that from here From that moment on, all competitions ceased to exist, and he was helpless in the face of such numbers, so he had no choice but to admit defeat.

Qiao Zhiyong's last quoted price was: one billion US dollars!

As the auctioneer said, this is an auction full of suspense and miracles. The biggest miracle of the audience was born in the last auction item, and it also created the highest transaction record for a single transaction in the world auction history. .People are no longer interested in the ownership of this project. What they want to know most is, who is this Chinese, this unremarkable Chinese?

After a long time, the auctioneer woke up, let out a long breath, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen! I think there is no suspense at this price. Now I announce that the post-earthquake reconstruction project in downtown San Francisco... …make a deal!"

The audience erupted into warm and prolonged applause. Even though today's ten auction items were all in the pockets of the Chinese people, and no one got anything, everyone was convinced that they lost.

The auctioneer said excitedly: "Sir, I would like to ask about your first and last name. I think this is what everyone present wants to know. If you don't mind, can you tell everyone."

Qiao Zhiyong tidied up his clothes, stood up unhurriedly, cupped his fists at the people present, and said loudly, "It's the first time for Qiao Zhiyong to come to the United States in Dadetong, Shanxi Province. Please take care of me."

All the people on the field exclaimed, isn't Qiao Zhiyong the Chinese businessman who has been widely reported by the American media?Some people have said that the wealth of the world is in China, and the wealth of China is in Shanxi. Who doesn't know that there are several big businessmen in Shanxi who are as rich as the country, but these people have never appeared in the media. In the eyes of the world's business people, Shanxi, China is a place full of gold, where there are hidden powerful Chinese businessmen, but no one has an accurate estimate of the real strength of these businessmen, just like people don't know how much wealth the Rothschild family has.

The auction soon became a hot spot that the American media rushed to report, and it even surpassed the political activities of the White House at one point.

Guan Xuqing understood the news immediately, and did not give a positive comment on Qiao Zhiyong's behavior, but murmured: "I really did not misjudge this person..."

After a while, he asked Sheng Xuanhuai again: "Is the money ready?"

Sheng Xuanhuai was full of displeasure, and complained to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this Qiao Zhiyong is too courageous, he dared to ask such a price without permission, a billion dollars, this is definitely not a small amount. A while ago We repaid the Rothschild family with a loan of 10 billion pounds, so the Imperial Investment Bank is almost wiped out."

Guan Xuqing was very dissatisfied with Sheng Xuanhuai's petty thoughts, and said with a serious face: "Xingsun, I found that the more money you have as the minister of commerce, the more petty you become. I said that you, the minister of commerce, are not only To manage money well, the more important thing is to use money well. There is a reason you must understand that sometimes, money can give birth to money. Money is alive when you use it well, and it can earn money for you. More money, if it is not used well, it will become dead, and it can only be left in the treasury to rot. The reason why I value Qiao Zhiyong is because he cares about the people's loyalty to the court, and secondly, he has a good fortune, and Being able to manage business with Confucianism is quite the style of everyone. What does a businessman do? He deals with money all day, and it is easy to be contaminated with the stench of money. Putting righteousness at the top of the list is really rare. I see that he will become a great weapon in the future, so I entrust him with the task of acquiring American industrial and commercial projects. I have promised him that money is not a problem. What we want is those projects. As long as those projects are in our hands, Xingsun, I can tell you without exaggeration that the lifeblood of American industry and commerce will be completely in the hands of the empire in ten years. This is not only a kind of commercial investment, but also A political investment."

After Sheng Xuanhuai chewed on the emperor's words and stepped back, Zhao Bingjun hurriedly went to the hall to have an audience.Judging by Zhao Bingjun's expression, he knew that something serious must have happened again. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Report to the emperor, Yuan Shikai has the intention of treason!"

"Oh? Tell me specifically what's going on?"

"Zha. According to the information I received, Yuan Shikai had secretly killed Fan Xuecheng, the commander of the Ninth Army stationed in Singapore, and took over all the troops of the Ninth Army in one fell swoop, and he seemed to have colluded with Lu Yongxiang, the commander of the Tenth Army. The army, the Singapore fleet and the military port have completely fallen into the hands of Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai is training his troops day and night, and recruiting troops from abroad, which shows that he has the intention of treason, so we must investigate, Your Majesty." Zhao Bingjun said anxiously.

Guan Xuqing nodded, and seemed not in a hurry: "Is that all?"

Zhao Bingjun was stunned for a moment, thinking that the emperor hadn't heard clearly, and then said: "Yuan Shikai has the intention of treason..."

Guan Xuqing waved his hand: "I've expected him to have such a skill a long time ago."

"Ah!" Zhao Bingjun was dumbfounded, "Your Majesty, since you already knew that such a day would come, why didn't you arrest him when he came to Beijing to report on his duties?"

"Zhi An, after all, Yuan Shikai is not an ordinary official of the court. It was only a stopgap measure for me to let him sit in Singapore to take charge of the balance. I plan to let him change defenses with Zhang Zuolin and transfer him to Siberia after a while. This person can only be used and cannot be trusted. But I didn't expect Yuan Shikai to be unable to hold back before I had time to fight. It seems that if the case of Wang Zhixin hadn't happened, he wouldn't be so eager to act. Go to Beijing to report on his work At that time, we were not sure about the rumored news, and the Security Bureau could not confirm the authenticity of the news. How could we arrest a court official rashly without evidence? If we doubt If any official arrests him indiscriminately, wouldn't Chao Gang be messed up?"

"Your majesty is wise, I understand."

Guan Xuqing looked at the dragon pan pillar on the main hall and said leisurely: "If the Yellow River breach hadn't happened before, I would have questioned Yuan Shikai long before he took any action. This flood is really a serious disaster. If the flood is timely If it is not cured, the development of the empire over the years is bound to be destroyed, do you understand this?"

"Yes, I understand."

"So no matter how big a rebellion Yuan Shikai instigates, disaster management must be given top priority. Zhi'an, man-made disasters are easy to treat, but natural disasters are not. However, I have another consideration..."

"Please make it clear to the emperor."

"It's a good thing that Yuan Shikai turned his back on him."

"Ah?" Zhao Bingjun was taken aback, not understanding why the emperor would say such words suddenly.

Guan Xuqing smiled lightly: "Zhi An, why such a smart person like you doesn't understand this truth, I have already seen it, Yuan Shikai is a man of great power, and he is unscrupulous and ruthless in his actions. He has been in the officialdom for many years, so There are no cronies he carefully cultivated in his past, usually these people are hidden underground, silently, but this time Yuan Shikai's rebellion, these people will definitely come out and vote for him. These people will be wiped out in one go, so as to prevent future troubles!"

Seeing the cold light in the emperor's eyes, Zhao Bingjun couldn't help trembling, and quickly lowered his head.After a long while, I asked: "Your Majesty, I think disaster relief is the most important thing, but Yuan Shikai can't be allowed to cause chaos in Singapore. At this time, he has just taken over the military power in Singapore, so it's not a big deal. But if one day he becomes full-fledged, It will not be easy to cut it off again. Please look into it clearly, Your Majesty."

Guan Xuqing suddenly laughed: "Zhi An, what you said is reasonable, but I am not unprepared. Yuan Shikai thought he could take advantage of the flooding of the Yellow River to launch a rebellion in one fell swoop. Who knows that I have already laid a net for him in the South China Sea, and then Waiting for him to drill in."

"Oh? It turns out that the emperor has already made arrangements, but I don't know what kind of net it is?"

Guan Xuqing rubbed his temples and said, "There's no need to ask. Anyway, let him go about his business now. But you must not relax your military intelligence network in Nanyang. You must always keep abreast of Yuan Shikai's every move and report to me at any time."

Zhao Bingjun knew that he had asked a little too much, and if he continued to ask, he would definitely be scolded by the emperor, so he nodded and left.

In Room 9, Jinshan Hotel, New York, USA.

"Boss, now we have photographed ten large-scale industrial projects in one go. The next step is to go back to China and report to the emperor, or is there any new action?" Yan Weifan asked Qiao Zhiyong while eating American butter bread .

Before Qiao Zhiyong could answer, when the door opened, Ma Gongfu, Ma Xun, and Gao Yu walked in resentfully with a few green onions in their hands, and complained as soon as they came in, "Damn it, we wanted to go to the street to buy some There are things we can eat, but we have walked all over the street, and there is no one selling bean curd fritters, all of them are bread, or sausages and the like, one bite can choke people to death! I searched for a long time Yes, I just bought these onions from a shop run by a Chinese. The boss also said that Americans don’t eat onions. The ones they eat are called onions, which are completely different from the onions we eat. We Feeling curious, I bought two onions and ate them. What kind of stuff can choke people to death! No wonder foreigners have yellow hair and blue eyes, and the food they eat is different. He can look good after eating this kind of thing gone?"

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 465 Gold Investment Plan (Sorry for the late arrival)

Yan Weifan's eyes lit up, and he snatched two scallions from Ma Gongfu, ate them with bread, and said, "It's good to have a few scallions. I can make do with this little bread, and it would be even better if I add a little old Shanxi vinegar."

"Bah, return the old Shanxi vinegar, Mr. Yan, you are good, the food we have worked so hard to find, and you have dealt with it. No, give me the money, 100 yuan for a green onion!" Gao Yu shouted reluctantly.

Ma Xun joked: "Is it enough? Yan Laoxian is notoriously stingy, and asking him for money is more difficult than asking for his life."

Yan Weifan finished his last mouthful of bread and green onions, took a sip of water, and said, "Shut up, I was talking to my boss just now, thinking about what to do next?"

"What are you doing? Does it need to be said?" Ma Xun came to Yan Weifan's side, crossed his legs and said, "We have nothing else now, we have money, so what are we afraid of? Didn't the emperor give orders to the master? Tell the master to release the money." Just get started. The ten industrial projects I just photographed are just the beginning, and there are many things to come in the future? Maybe when we will be happy and buy the White House for him, the emperor will definitely get longan Dayue..."

Before finishing speaking, Yan Weifan slapped the back of the head, "I treat you as a heartless thing! You treat it as your family's money, it's our country's money, and every penny counts." The blood and sweat of the common people is given to the Americans for no reason. Besides, the White House is the official residence of the president. No matter how much money you pay, can they sell it to you? What do you think? Be serious. Yes, since the emperor trusts our master and entrusts us with such an important errand, we have to do our best to handle this matter well for the emperor so that every sum of money can be used wisely. Master, what do you say Am I right?"

Qiao Zhiyong nodded with a smile: "It's Mr. Yan who is more knowledgeable first. You guys can learn more from him in the future."
