This news made him feel like he was hit by lightning.

Because he tried his best to negotiate with the Japanese side, he occupied 70% of the shipping company's equity, and he took the initiative.

But LeBoan, who was leaning against the East, was about to start the plan, but found that his opponent had taken the chess path he wanted to take first. This dream was repeatedly taken first, resulting in an unrealized despair as if a rope was put on his neck, making LeBoan almost suffocated.

Like him, he lamented that it was Yamaguchi Akihiro a step slower.

But when Le Boan expressed his dismay after he finished talking to him about his feelings, Yamaguchi Akihiro, who was in his early fifties, said: "Lesang, we have a great opponent, but I like such challenges!"

"Yamaguchi Jun's fighting spirit is good, but how do you do it specifically?" Le Boan asked him.

Of course he didn't want to give up, but this matter depends on how determined the Eastern people are.

This is why he took the initiative to show his disheartenedness to the other party after he came over.

Unlike the New Roman Trading Company, which mainly uses Han Huaiyi, and has the same model of like-minded and interest-binding.

The collaboration between LeBoan and Yamaguchi Akihiro was full of the smell of trying to control and guard against each other from the beginning.

"Competition, copy his model and enter the game immediately. I have already thought about it..."

Under the lamp, while two middle-aged men were whispering, Xiang Shuai Zhang Zhidong, who was far away in the Governor's Office in Huguang, was sitting in the study with sad faces.

He seemed to feel the excitement of his opponents.

Because just a few days ago, the boiler of the Hanyang factory introduced by him had another problem during testing.

This Hanyang Iron Factory has now become a burden, weighing heavily on his heart.

You know, since the 16th year of Guangxu, he has spent 5.6 million taels, but he has not yet made steel.

Speaking of this, it is really his responsibility.

Zhang Zhidong, who has been in charge of this matter for more than ten years, is still young.

A man’s youth lies in his age and knowledge and experience.

It’s like the saying on TikTok in later generations, “You can never make money beyond your knowledge.”

Although Zhang Zhidong was in charge of the Westernization Affairs Bureau, he did not know how to make steel.

When he was buying the steel mill furnace for the steel mill furnace at the British Minister Xue Fucheng, the British Tissette Factory owner clearly answered him sincerely: "If you want to start a steel mill, you must first test all the iron, stone, coal, and coke, and then you will know the texture of coal and iron, what kind of steel can be refined, that is, what kind of furnace, a slight difference will lead to a thousand miles of error, and you can't take the liberty to engage in it."

At that time, Zhang Zhidong disagreed and said arrogantly: "Why not have China's size? Why do you have to find coal and iron first and then buy a machine and furnace? But it's worth buying it according to the UK's users."

If you have to spend this money and say so arrogantly, the British manufacturer will just let him go.

As a result, people's words proved that professional things still need professionals to do.

After the furnace came to China and was set up in Hanyang, Zhang Zhidong discovered that steelmaking was not made with a furnace.

There must be matching resources.

Fortunately, under the Qing court, power could be presumptuous.

As long as it can produce results.

So Zhang Zhidong mobilized his connections and mobilized resources.

He first transported iron from Daye, then coal from Ma'anshan, and then made steel in Hanyang.

But a bigger problem arises. Because the coal in Ma'anshan is equally important and cannot be coking, he has to buy thousands of tons of coke from Germany as he has no choice but to buy thousands of tons of coke from Germany.

The result is still in vain!

Because of this matter, Zhang Zhidong was repeatedly said that although the court was silent considering his face, where did those words come from without the acquiesce of the court? In particular, his dream of governing Zhili was almost ruined.

Zhang Zhidong was tough in front of the people, but he couldn't deceive himself in the dark room.

"I'm still impulsive. I'm studying half a lifetime and being a half a lifetime official, but I don't know the common truth that I can only suffer if I listen to people's words more." Zhang Zhidong sighed in his heart.

But famous officials are famous officials.

When a mature man wants to make changes, he must first have the courage to make positive mistakes and then have a clear understanding of himself.

Not only that, you must also deeply dissect the external and internal factors that cause you to make mistakes.

Among them, internal factors are more important than external factors.

Because in this world, internal causes are the real causes, and external causes are often the result.

"I seemed conceited at the time, but in fact I was afraid of foreigners' strong civilization. I was too eager to prove myself but didn't know the reason for steady progress!" Zhang Zhidong analyzed himself.

After a night, Xiang Shuai, who came to the front of others again, remained calm.

Even though he quietly called himself a dog last night, Xiangshuai's logic is that if I scold me, I can't scold me, but if you scold me, you can't! You can't lose the venue, right?

But careful people will find that Xiang Shuai will occasionally say to his subordinates: "If Yun Gong comes, let him in directly."

I will suddenly take care of the following again: "If there is a young man named Han Huaiyi, I will invite him directly."

At this time, the Romans was heading south along the waterway, circling the moon and moon.

Han Huaiyi wrote and calculated indoors.

The Han family's expenses in Tianjin were basically offset by the loan from the place where they were detained, while the expenses for mobilizing personnel and ships were offset by the loan from the storefront.

After the two, there is still a surplus of 1,321 taels of silver.

However, at the end of the year, the interest on the two loans will be settled with the bank, and the contributions agreed to be given to all management agencies will be 2,000 taels.

Fortunately, Han Huaiyi already has seven contracts in Shanghai, and the profit after deducting the commission is 1,830 taels.

But the money must be used, half of it is spent on Shanghai World's shares. Han Huaiyi is very clear about the entertainment industry's more money.

A big world is worth two inland shipping lines.

The other half is spent on the repair of semi-finished products from Marseille Port, which is far from enough, but Wei Yungong can drag it out.

As for Tianjin Wei, it is estimated that it can still make a profit of about 1,000 taels for the Han family, but this money cannot be kept.

Because the relationship here needs to be consolidated, the funds for the entertainment world promised to be prepared in advance.

Then what remains is the principal of the Han family.

"We have to deduct the expenses in Wuhan. In the end, we can get 5,000 taels of silver on hand, which can be dealt with next year, and the year after that, our family will be considered to be truly tenable."

After Han Huaiyi calculated, he smashed the inside story that he and his elder brother were qualified to know, and then he sighed and thought that I was dancing on the wire rope. Fortunately, the next few years were calm, which was enough for me to reserve sufficient funds before the French Concession expanded the westward expansion in 2014.

But I can't make any more aggressive progress, because people's energy and financial resources are limited, and they must be consolidated rather than blindly expanding after layout.

After warning himself, Han Huaiyi walked out of the cabin and went to the bow of the ship.

The vision ahead is broad and the world is infinite. He has determined his thoughts and put down his mind and spread his arms and walks comfortably, as if embracing the world.

At this moment, Shi Jintao had just left the Guazhou Ferry and took a boat back. He suddenly heard the boatman shouting and looked out from inside the cabin and saw a brand new iron armor breaking the wind and waves about to enter the river.

Foreigners' boats are amazing. Shi Jintao, who was sitting on a broken wooden boat bought from the Han family, was sighing.

The next second, his eyes suddenly bulged.

Shi Jintao rubbed his eyes and looked again. The three Chinese characters "Xinyihe" were clearly written on the back of the iron armored foreign ship. This, this... is it a coincidence? Is this a coincidence! This must be a coincidence.
