"Ding dong! [System reminder: The Li family is in danger of being exterminated!]”
"Beep, beep, beep, beep…"
"F * ck! The system had already reminded him that things were getting serious.”
Li Chongguang rushed out and chased after the butler and the two madams. The two of them arrived at the door of the inner hall.
Li Zhongjia said to the two madams," Now that things have come to this, there is only one way to go. That is to offer the machinery factory to Iron Mountain. This is also tacitly approved by the district governor."”
"I'm afraid this is Iron Mountain's intention? We can't give you the machinery factory." Li Zhongguang and Qu Shuyun pushed open the door and walked into the inner hall.
Mrs. Xu put down the pipe in her hand and walked to Mrs. Cao. She pointed at the mulberry and scolded the locust tree." This is my son. It was not easy to fight for this opportunity. Why are you unwilling to part with the money now?"”
Mrs. Cao hurriedly retorted," What? How can I not bear to part with the money? As long as the old master can come out, let alone one, I'm willing to give you ten factories."”
"Isn't that settled?" Madam Xu said.
Li Zhongjia did not even look at Li Chongguang. He directly said to Mrs. Cao,"Auntie, is this settled?"”
"Cousin, you don't know what the machinery factory represents, right?”Li Chongguang sat on the chair and poured himself a cup of tea.
"As a soldier, I never ask about the family business!”Li Zhongjia said.
"Guns and ammunition!"
Li Chongguang kept staring at Li Zhongjia's confused eyes. It seemed that he really did not know how important the machinery factory was.
" How important is a small machinery factory?" Madam Xu said." Chongguang, don't scare people."”
"Chongguang, don't scare us."”
"Right now, there are two forces in Eastern Guangdong. One is a new force led by Iron Mountain and other military officials, and the other is an old force led by his father.”He pointed at Qu Shuyun, who was sitting beside him.
Li Chongguang looked at Qu Shuyun and continued,"It looks calm on the surface, but in reality, the new forces and the old forces are fighting each other."”
Madam Xu interrupted Li Chongguang and said,"What does their fight have to do with our family?"”
"It's a big deal. Iron Mountain is the general of East Guangdong Province and is in charge of hundreds of thousands of new soldiers in East Guangdong Province, but they don't have money or guns. If they get our family's machinery factory, they will have an endless supply of guns and ammunition.
With soldiers and guns, he would be in charge of the entire Eastern Guangdong Province.
He needed money to raise his army. Where did the money go? Since ancient times, the business of looting and exterminating families had earned money the fastest! Moreover, our Li family is the richest family in Eastern Guangdong. At that time, Iron Mountain can easily make up some charges and seize the Li family.
Besides, I'm now the son-in-law of the district governor. The Li family and the Qu family's interests are already linked together. If the district governor is defeated by Iron Mountain, do you think Iron Mountain will let us go?
Moreover, handing over the factory was equivalent to admitting guilt. If you weren't guilty, why would you bribe him? If Iron Mountain took over the factory and turned hostile, they would make an issue out of the bribery and seize the Li family's property. At that time, we won't even have a reason to find one.”
"Cousin, do you understand?" Li Chongguang raised his head and looked at Li Zhongjia, who was standing at the side in a daze.
"Why didn't I think of this?”Li Zhongjia patted his forehead and said.
Looking at Li Zhongjia who was rolling his eyes, Li Zhongguang was confused for a moment. Was this guy pretending, or did he really not know? If he was faking it, then he was too scheming!
"Damn it, if the system didn't warn me that the Li family was in danger of being destroyed, I really don't know how this guy acted. Why was this guy born in this era? If he was born in the future, he would definitely win the Best Actor Award!”
"Then what about Master? Zhongguang, quickly think of a way?" Cao shi was anxious. If she couldn't sell the machinery factory, how could she save the old master?
"The only one who can save Father now can only rely on her.”Qu Shuyun blinked at her.
At this moment, everyone in the room was staring at Qu Shuyun, making her feel awkward.
"Wife, you have to ask your father to save your father-in-law!" Mrs. Cao pulled Qu Shuyun and begged.”
"Don't worry, my father will save Old Master.”Qu Shuyun pulled up Cao Shi who was kneeling on the ground.
"Shu Yun, our Li family is counting on you.”
After returning to the new house from the inner hall, Li Chongguang sat at the desk and organized the outline of the second chapter of the Rise of the Great Powers, the Dutch chapter.
The Netherlands, a small country in northwestern Europe that was only two times the size of Goat City, started its business by fishing for herring on tidal plains and lakes.
They designed cheaper ships and relied on their favorable geographical location and good business reputation to gradually turn from middleman to ocean-going warriors.
The increasingly wealthy citizens of the Netherlands bought the autonomy of the city from the nobles and established a provincial Republic that fully protected the rights of merchants. They established the world's earliest joint stock company, the East India Company, which monopolized half of the global trade at that time. They built the world's first stock exchange, and the capital market was born. They were the first to establish modern banks and invented the credit system that has been used to this day. With the establishment of a series of modern financial and commercial systems, the 17th century became the century of the Netherlands.
Due to natural factors such as land size, the Netherlands gradually lost its hegemony in the world at the end of the 17th century. But even today, the life of the Dutch is still rich, and the business rules created by the Dutch are still influencing the world…
"What are you writing?" Qu Shuyun crawled onto the bed out of boredom.
"Have you prepared the things for tomorrow?”Li Chongguang said lightly.
"Shouldn't you be the one preparing these things?”Qu Shuyun rolled on the bed out of boredom.
"What does your father like? Isn't it because your daughter knows best?" Li Chongguang said without a care.
"No, whoever wants to go can go. It's not like I want to save Father!”Qu Shuyun said.
"Do you want to see Qin Shaobai?" Li Chongguang asked.
"Li Chongguang! You're doing it again. Aren't you tired? Moreover, you promised me every time to bring me to see Shao Bai, but you never keep your word.”Qu Shuyun said angrily.
Li Chongguang smiled mysteriously and threw another bomb at Qu Shuyun.""Do you want the letter Qin Shaobai wrote to you?”
"Swoosh!"
Qu Shuyun flipped open the blanket covering her body and got up from the bed. She did not even wear her shoes and ran barefoot to Li Chongguang's side. She stretched out her left hand and said,"Give it to me."
Li Chongguang put down the pen in his hand unhurriedly and rubbed his sore wrist."Sigh, my hands are a little sore from writing too much.”
"Hehe, let me rub it for you!" Qu Shuyun put on a fawning expression. She grabbed Li Chongguang's hand and kept pressing it.
"Two conditions?" Li Chongguang waved two fingers in front of Qu Shuyun's eyes.
"Phew!"
Qu Shuyun took a deep breath and said,"I knew it wouldn't be that easy. Tell me…"
"First, I want to know your father's personality and preferences.”
"No problem!"
"Secondly, from now on, I'll read and you write?”Li Chongguang picked up the manuscript that he had already written from the table.
"Okay, deal!"
Li Chongguang pulled out a drawer and took out an envelope, handing it to the delighted Qu Shuyun. Wasn't it just a letter? It wasn't even jewelry or gold. Was there a need to be so happy?
"What did your lover say?”
"Strange, why are you mentioned in the letters?”Qu Shuyun said gloomily.
Of course, I wrote it. Who else could it be if not me? These words could only be said silently in his heart. If Qu Shuyun knew that this letter was written by Li Chongguang's model Qin Shaobai's handwriting, she would definitely kill him.
Li Chongguang took advantage of Qu Shuyun's absent-mindedness to snatch the envelope and read the contents in front of her."So, Qin Shaobai told you to listen to me!”
Qu Shuyun nodded dejectedly. She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was.
