Chapter 378 Businessman's Mind--
"I have a plan in my heart. I believe it won't take long, because the news has just spread to Guangzhou. Now the city of Guangzhou can be said to be restless. Now I don't know how our governor of Guangdong and Guangxi will arrange it, so I want to wait and see the situation. Have you inquired about the weapons and equipment of the Satsuma vassals? Sun Shijie and Ni Ming asked as they walked.
"A hundred muskets, and the rest are all cold weapons. In addition, they did not stay in the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but lived outside the city. However, the eunuchs and bodyguards in the palace were all held by Japanese. After our people inquired, we realized that those Japanese were afraid that the court would find out that they were holding the Ryukyu king. That's why I played such a trick of covering my ears and stealing the bell. Ni Ming smiled contemptuously and said that his intention of being sent to Taiwan by Liang Pengfei this time was very clear. First, looking at Wu Liang was a kind of condolences to this sailor general who was loyal to Liang Pengfei. Second, he investigated the situation of that country and that country. Third, he asked about the affairs of the north.
It seems that Liang Pengfei already has the intention to shift the strategic focus to the north. After all, the threat of the Western colonists in the south has been narrowed to an immeasurable possible surname under Liang Pengfei's combination of punches. At least two years, it is difficult to make a big difference.
And Liang Pengfei doesn't want to wait for the Americans to play Japan, because the gold, silver and copper of Japan are all his favorite things. Instead of letting the Americans earn, it's better to earn it by himself. The important thing is that as a traveler, how can he easily forget the sins committed by these guys in another time and space?
As for the situation in the mainland, now, Liang Pengfei does not have the ability to intervene. The important thing is that the Qingzheng axe is still strong, at least on the surface. And the White Lotus Religion is not a good oriental. Not to mention in ancient times, even in later generations, the political axe definitely put a cult label on them. After all, that set of ghosts, coaxing fools and women, and scraping people's wealth is just a means of money and power, which is like a child's play in Liang Pengfei's eyes.
The Chinese land that Liang Pengfei hopes for is no longer the theory that the people can use and know. What he wants to do is to wake up the Chinese nation who has almost been swallowed up by the enslavement, open their eyes to see the world, know how to ask why, and know how to defend their own survival and power.
So, he can only wait. Even if countless people fall because of the war, even if someone jumps in front of him and points to his nose and scolds, you have the ability to solve the war and restore the tranquility of China's hometown. Why don't you do it?
--------------------
"... Even if it is pointed out by thousands of people, even if everyone does not understand what I have done, I can only act according to my ideas. Now, all I have to do is to do my best to transform the environment around this continent." Liang Pengfei lay in Maria's arms, smelled the light perfume on her body, and squinted her eyes.
"No, honey, I can understand. I know you have a great dream to save the dream of a nation. You will pay a lot for this dream, but don't forget, people in this world who don't understand you, look at your subordinates and me." Maria lowered her head and reached out to lift the green silk on her cheeks. Then, her plump and wet lips were imprinted on Liang Pengfei's slightly cold forehead.
"Even if you are coaxing me, I feel very happy. Thank you, my little girl." Liang Pengfei stretched out his big hand and rubbed Maria's delicate face.
However, just as the young couple were affectionate and ready to deepen the relationship between them, they heard an untimely greeting outside the door. Hello, Mr. Pan. Hello, madam. The young master is in there. Shall I send you two in?
"No, I'll just go in by myself." Before the words fell, the high-spirited Pan Youdu and Pan Bingjie appeared in Liang Pengfei's sight. At this time, Maria had already sat in her own position, holding a cup of black tea and making a graceful look. However, there is still a slightly strange red tide and charm on the face.
"Father-in-law, why are you here?" Liang Pengfei was much thick-skinned and stood up happily to meet him.
"Well, sit down, don't be polite. You are quite good at enjoying yourself. Pan Youdu found a chair and sat down. After taking a sip of the tea that Maria poured for her, he said, of course, he didn't forget to nod to Maria to thank her.
"These days have made you so busy. Bingjie still complains about this to me." Liang Pengfei quickly moved a seat for Pan Bingjie, sat next to Pan Youdu, and respectfully handed over a cigar.
"Hehe, I can't stand not only complaining about you, but also muttering in my ear." Boss Pan felt the same way. As soon as he talked about the cigar's buttocks, he let Pan Bingjie, who heard his father complain about him, reach out and take it. Boss Pan could only laugh with him quickly and said, "Daughter, Dad didn't speak ill of you. I just hope you can take care of your husband. I'm your father. How can you even take care of me?"
"Well, aunt asked me to keep an eye on you, so that you don't have to be busy with business and forget everything. Just like yesterday, what time did you have dinner?" Pan Bingjie still doesn't want to be lenient.
"It's not because the negotiation is late. It's a critical moment to sign a contract. You can't leave people at all. You child..." Pan Youdu smiled helplessly, and then gave Liang Pengfei a look, which was very clear. Liang Pengfei had to take out her husband's style: "Okay, okay, Bingjie, my father-in-law is also doing business."
"Well, everything is business. You know how to perfunctory us all day long." Pan Bingjie stared at Liang Pengfei, patted the cigar on Liang Pengfei's chest, turned around and grabbed Maria's arm. Sister, let's go upstairs. Didn't you say that there are still several clothes that you didn't have time to try on when you got married? I'll wear it. If it's suitable, I'll wear it for fun.
Pan Bingjie knew that her father and her husband had business to talk about. Although her mouth was still relatively light, she obediently pulled Maria out of here.
Seeing his daughter like this, Pan Youdu could only be speechless. In addition, he couldn't help but be jealous that his son-in-law was not ordinary capable. There was a famous female pirate Shi Xianggu across the South China Sea, and a princess from a Western colonial power. The identities of these two female surnames are both ringing, but their daughters are only from a merchant family. In the East, in the extremely clear social atmosphere of the mainland, which is divided into four people, farmers, industry and commerce, compared with the previous two, it really makes Pan Youdu always feel uncomfortable in his heart.
--------------------
Fortunately, Liang Pengfei's behavior reassured him. At least his daughter has not suffered any grievances since she followed him, which is the most gratifying thing for Pan Youdu.
"Father-in-law, I'm here to find my son-in-law today. I don't know what I need to do for you?" When Liang Pengfei saw Pan Youdu staring at him without saying anything, he felt nervous and quickly opened his mouth to remind his father-in-law.
"I came to you today to tell you whether the scale of our textile factory needs to be expanded again? You know, the cloth produced by our spinning factory now is in short supply. When Pan Youdu mentions commercial matters, he is always energetic.
Since he bought the samples of those Western machinery from the two British anniper, Liang Pengfei naturally came up with the idea of making money, and was led by Pan Youdu. The three families of Pan, Ye and Liang, as well as Lu Guanheng, who had formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Pan family, funded the construction of a yarn factory.
These companies are all rich and generous people. Soon, a large-scale spinning factory came into being. However, in order to prevent the operation of the yarn factory from squeezing the space of the people's self-woven fabric, it will attract the attention of the government. Therefore, all the cloth should be exported.
And the market is naturally the neighboring countries of the mainland and Nanyang. Although this spinning mill is large enough, the problem is that Annan alone is not enough to swallow all the output of the whole spinning mill.
This makes Pan Youdu and others, who are drooling, have the idea of expansion. Importantly, during this period of time, Liang Pengfei has even cleaned up those Western colonists, and those British who could not clean up in the Qing Dynasty did not even dare to fart when facing their son-in-law.
This sense of pride and glory really made Pan Youdu feel a great increase. Moreover, Liang Pengfei also handed over such a heavy responsibility as negotiating with those Western colonists to them and these businessmen. This sense of importance has never been done by Pan Youdu.
It is true that Liang Pengfei is his son-in-law, but the natural level gap between officials and businessmen is still very huge. However, Liang Pengfei does not despise businessmen, and can even say that he attaches great importance to businessmen. Pan Youdu has always had a vague feeling about this, but Until a few months ago, he actually had the opportunity to negotiate national affairs face to face with the British ambassador. Although it was still mainly about trade issues, although he, as the general manager, he had the right to negotiate with foreigners.
But the problem is that the feeling is different in nature. This feeling makes Pan Youdu happy. At the same time, it also makes him understand a responsibility. In any case, whether it is for himself, for the rights of the businessman, or for his beloved son-in-law Hongtu hegemony, he must follow in his footsteps. This is the common feeling of Pan Youdu, Ye Shanglin and Lu Guanheng.
