"I can still lower it by 3%! Long live France!"
"I agree to let Mr. Lu obtain the title of Honorary Aristocrat of the Great British Empire and trade at the best price!”
"We don't have anything else but money. Mr. Geng, we can exchange foreign currency with you at the lowest interest rate!”
With the help of the translator, after several rounds of intense negotiations, the competition for the envoys had entered a white-hot state.
Charlemagne, the envoy of the Ying Country who was most particular about gentlemanly manners, had already unbuttoned his coat and was panting heavily.
The French envoy's exquisite hairstyle was completely messed up. He even raised his hands and shouted.
The US envoy's face turned red, and he even rolled up his sleeves.
The envoys of the other countries had quietly withdrawn from the battlefield because of their insufficient national strength. They had nothing to do with the trade of 1,000 tons of gold.
And the three most powerful envoys would fight to the end.
Faced with such a large amount of wealth, even the three powerful countries went crazy. If they weren't too far away and the current tense situation in Europe, they would have sent troops to snatch it.
"Everyone, take a break. I understand what you mean. Please let me think about it.”Geng Yun played with the Staff of Civilization in his hand and said in an ambiguous tone.
Of course, Deputy Speaker Geng."
The three envoys stood up and said. They looked at each other with hatred and returned to their seats.
Geng Yun's expression was gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
It was time for him to announce which government the Manchurian government would cooperate with.
Geng Yun calmly glanced at Lu Yi, who was staring at the US envoy, and nodded slowly.
Geng Yun immediately understood. He stood up and walked in front of the US envoy. He stretched out his hand and smiled."Hello, I think our final partner should be the United States of America!”
"Oh! Dear Geng, I really didn't expect you to treat me so well!”The US envoy was pleasantly surprised. He had thought that the US was the least likely to win the bid among the three countries.
Why?
Because the US was strong, they could give benefits to the Manchu government. However, the US was the most democratic country, so they could not give Lu Yi personal benefits, such as promises to nobles. This was the most crucial in dealing with the warlords. After all, the warlords paid the most attention to personal benefits.
However, he did not expect that the Liberal Government would still choose to cooperate with the United States in the end!
"I really have to congratulate you Americans. All the gold in the world has gone to you!”
When the Ying and French envoys saw this scene, their expressions were extremely ugly. However, they still squeezed out a smile and stood up. They spoke to the US envoy in a neutral tone.
Immediately after, the two of them put on a smile and said enthusiastically to Lu Yi in the hall,"Mr. Lu! Although we didn't manage to reach a deal this time, I know that we still have a lot of areas to work together in the future!”
"I promise you that our Great British Empire will definitely be the best partner for you!”
"Similarly, our French Empire is the same, Mr. Lu!”
"Thank you! Thank you!" Lu Yi raised his wine glass and gestured to the two envoys from afar. His face was filled with a mysterious smile. Then, he watched as all the envoys except the US envoy left.
As long as there were benefits, these foreigners would bow down like dogs. This would never change.
Even if they did not become the partner of the free government, the envoys of the two countries did not dare to offend Lu Yi.
Everyone knew how powerful Lu Yi was in East Asia!
Back then, when President Yuan Shikai borrowed money from the banks of the five countries, wasn't he also so humble? Back then, China was poor, but now, China was rich!
"Mr. Lu, I must express my gratitude to you on behalf of the United States of America!”
The US envoy strode in front of Lu Yi and said emotionally. As he spoke, he took off his hat in a standard manner of this era.
Lu Yi smiled and said," I hope that this gold can be used as collateral and deposited with our Manchu government in exchange for US dollars."”
Why did he choose America in the end?
There was no other reason. Lu Yi knew that the US dollar was the only currency that had been strong since World War II. Other than the financial crisis, it had not declined much.
The other Francs, Marks, British Pounds…
At the beginning of the war, everyone would be confused.
Only the US Dollar didn't.
"Also, I hope to use these US dollars to invest in the US. I want to obtain commercial immunity from the US government, even if it's just in New York.”
Then, Lu Yi added.
"Do you want to become an American citizen? This is very simple, I can arrange it for you!”The US envoy was a little confused. He spoke in an uncertain tone.
"No, I won't become an American citizen. I'm good as a citizen now. I just want to do business in the United States. There are no laws in the United States that prohibit foreigners from doing business, right?”
Lu Yi's eyes revealed a shrewd look as he said again. This was the real reason why he chose America.
He wanted to make a big move in the free land of the United States!
One had to know that in this era, there were many prejudices against Asians in the United States, and these prejudices came from the United States 'law-making department. Most of the law-making department was controlled by capitalists and used to attack the Chinese. Such a situation would never happen in Lu Yi's hands!
The US envoy was immediately stunned. Why did Lu Yi not agree to such a good opportunity to become a citizen of the US?
However, he could only say,"Okay, if you want to invest, I'll find the best product manager for you in the name of the foreign education department!"”
"Very good." Lu Yi nodded.
The US envoy left after explaining some of the remaining trade details. At this time, only Lu Yi, Geng Yun, and Zhang Jinghui were left in the hall of the marshal's residence. Lu Yi thought for a moment and said to Geng Yun directly,"Let Minister Su Hong come in. We should have a good talk with him.”
Of all the envoys, only Envoy Su Hong was postponed by Lu Yi to the last meeting. Envoy Su Hong did not attend this meeting either.
"Chief, are you sure you want to see Minister Su Hongguo now?" Geng Yun asked in surprise. He must be very angry now. After all, we didn't let him participate in this trade fair.”
Lu Yi smiled." That's not why Red Su is angry. The political cleansing in their country is very serious. Everyone is revolving around Old Man Starling. They're angry about something else.”
Geng Yun immediately understood and said,"Yes, sir! Chief, I'll let him in immediately!”
