mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 553 That's Lao Tzu's Site

Benjamin Goldberg behind Zhao Chuanxin looked down at the rice.

Qianfan screamed heartbreakingly: "Wow, woof..."

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned, leaned over and patted it on the head: "Forgot, you dog thing is also there. Of course, the Japanese are not worthy to be compared with dogs!"

The Japanese reporter was annoyed: "Zhao Sang, this is a great insult to our nuclear nation!"

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Ah yes, I think you are right."

I just insulted you, what are you going to do?

Japanese reporter: "..."

He really wanted to fight, but he didn't have the courage; he really wanted to leave, but he felt that he couldn't miss today's news, so he had to swallow his anger.

Hu Xiaoyun felt that Zhao Chuanxin was different from the indomitable hero he imagined.

He said unwillingly: "Master Zhao, there is a saying in the "Historical Records" that profit makes the mind faint, and please..."

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him impatiently: "Today's "Historical Records" and tomorrow's "Mencius" said, are you an old cow, let the ancients lead you by the nose every day?"

A group of reporters burst into laughter.

Hu Xiaoyun was robbed, and he only felt that he was not Zhao Chuanxin's opponent at all because of the advantage of talking.

He had no choice but to change direction: "Master Zhao, what do you think of the war in the south?"

All the reporters looked at Zhao Chuanxin with piercing eyes.

They observed very carefully, for fear of missing even the slightest change in Zhao Chuanxin's expression.

Because this topic is very sensitive and involves rebellion, it is a serious crime of beheading.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and laughed: "People say city gates, but you have to talk about hips and elbows. The war in the south is my business?"

The crowd fell.

Hu Xiaoyun said passionately: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. I really want to know Zhao's attitude. I think everyone here wants to know too."

Not to mention, everyone nodded in agreement.

Isn't this just digging pits in the 21st century? Usually, reporters set traps for people in the entertainment industry. If they don't answer well, they fall into it and are accused by Wan Fu.

In this era, Zhao Chuanxin is definitely a very strange existence.

He hated the big powers, and he would do it if he refused to accept it. He didn't care about the filth or adultery between the big powers, and he would mess with whoever provoked him.

At the same time, the relationship with the Qing court was also very tense, and Cixi was bombarded, and Li Lianying's shoulder head was scrapped with one shot.

But it's not entirely true that he and those "rebels" in the south are working hand in hand.

At least, on the surface, I have never heard of Zhao Chuanxin colluding with them, and of course there is no conflict.

According to gossip, members of the insurance team in Lugang Township said that they looked down on those "rebels" in the south and thought they were a mob.

Then this is not stabbing, whoever catches whoever.

The old god Zhao Chuanxin took a sip of tea: "You want to ask which side I like more, right?"

Everyone shrank their necks.

Once Zhao Chuanxin said which side he liked today, and the words came out of this room, the meaning it represented would be very great.

Sun Gongwu has always dreamed of international influence, but he doesn't know that Zhao Chuanxin's name already has a certain influence in the world.

Others acted like a coward, but Hu Xiaoyun stuck his neck: "Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

"Hehe." Zhao Chuanxin grinned, "I won't tell you."

"..."

The venue was silent.

Everyone looked at Zhao Chuanxin speechlessly.

Zhao Chuanxin looked around: "Is there any problem? If not, let's end."

It is impossible to end the show. After finally catching such an opportunity, the reporters must want to satisfy all kinds of curiosity before giving up.

A reporter from the "South China Morning Post" asked: "Mr. Zhao, it is rumored that you made $5000 million in New York. Is this true?"

"Fake, it's all rumors. I don't earn this amount. Zhao never bothers to lie, so you don't have to question it."

Li Guangzong covered his mouth behind him, so he didn't laugh out loud.

Mister is such a jerk.

It is indeed not 5000 million, it is more than three times that.

The reporter was stunned: "Oh... If you didn't earn that much, at least you have millions of dollars, right? I don't know where Mr. Zhao wants to use this money? Donate money? Or do business?"

Zhao Chuanxin said nonsense without changing his face: "That's it, after I got the money, I used it to buy cars, planes, oil, luxury houses, and make some fireworks just for the sake of looking good... In short, I spend all the money It’s so nice to be rich, it’s true that you spend it happily. I admit that desire has defeated my steel-like will!”

Behind him Benjamin Goldberg looked strange.

Master is right, he has indeed invested a large amount of money in steel heavy industries, including automobile companies, aircraft companies and real estate, and firearms are naturally fireworks.

But these have nothing to do with enjoyment. On the contrary, he knows that Master is very tight now, and there may be only a little money left.

But the reporter didn't think so. A reporter from "Circular Daily" frowned: "Mr. Zhao, there are many disasters in the south this year, and people are starving everywhere, but you are full of wine and meat. Isn't there something wrong?"

He also used wine pools and meat forests, extravagance and violence, isn't it equal to King Zhou of Shang.

Captain Zhao likes to deal with moral kidnappers.

He was delighted when he heard it: "This reporter, how much money did you donate during the natural disaster in the south?"

The reporter was stunned: "Me? I don't have much money."

"That's strange." Zhao Chuanxin: "Didn't you donate a penny?"

The reporter was a little embarrassed: "It's true that I don't have much money..."

Zhao Chuanxin immediately turned his face: "Fucking people like you are the worst. I set up the Lugang Town Charity Association, and even helped the victims with my own hands. The amount of donations reached as much as one million. If I have 1000 million, then 100 million is One-tenth of the family wealth. Even if you have ten pennies, you don’t even donate a penny. What right do you have to speak out here? I earn all the hard-earned money that Americans have worked so hard to save for me. I spend it with peace of mind , how many things do you care about?"

These words made the reporter of "Circular Daily" blush and feel ashamed.

Yes, you can donate less if you have less money, but what qualifications do you have to evaluate Zhao Chuanxin if you don’t donate a penny?

Even if this is the fat of the people, it is the fat of the people of the Americans.

The eyes of many reporters brightened.

Hey, this is really a tricky way of thinking.

They quickly took paper and pen to record.

"When Hu was hit by the typhoon, he donated 50 yuan, which is half of his savings, so he has a clear conscience." Hu Xiaoyun proudly puffed up his chest, and looked at the crowd, most of them lowered their heads uncomfortably. "Mr. Zhao, there are three major issues at the moment. One is the war in the south, and Mr. Zhao will not answer it. Then I hope you can answer the second and third matters."

Zhao Chuanxin was very unimpressed with this smelly and hard guy like a rock in a latrine, and said, "Fart your fart."

Hu Xiaoyun probably figured out Zhao Chuanxin's character.

The fairy-like robes are all bluffing.

This man is a hob meat.

He asked: "The second thing is to boycott Japanese products. Will Mr. Zhao participate in it in the future?"

Zhao Chuanxin said bluntly this time: "That is inevitable, let the little devils die."

Japanese reporter: "..."

Feeling greatly offended.

Hu Xiaoyun nodded. With Zhao Chuanxin's words, the boycott of Japanese products will become even more powerful. He continued to ask: "The third thing involves Portugal. Gentlemen, businessmen and people in Guangzhou, Xiangshan and Hong Kong Island have frequently asked The yamen petition asked the imperial court to send personnel to demarcate the boundary of Macao Island. After the Erchenwan incident, the people's will became stronger. However, the imperial court's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has always been weak in negotiating with foreign countries. Mr. Zhao, what do you think of this matter? Ruopu How should people deal with it when they push their limits?"

This question got to the point, everyone cheered up and listened carefully.

Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigar, raised his legs, and said indifferently: "Originally, the Portuguese land boundary should be as large as it should be. The rest, Ao Island and its surrounding areas, have been regarded by Zhao as his own territory. No matter what Neither the Qing court nor the Portuguese have the right to intervene. The boundary survey is fine, but anyone who dares to stretch out their claws must be prepared to be chopped off by me."

I Zhuo... Everyone never expected that Zhao Chuanxin would say this.

Hu Xiaoyun frowned first, then his eyes lit up.

He pursed his lips: "Mr. Zhao, I understand, I admire you!"

With that said, he cupped his fists at Zhao Chuanxin.

The rest of the people also reacted, showing a look of admiration.

Only the Japanese reporter kept changing his expression.

If someone else said these words, it would be treasonous.

But when these words came from Zhao Chuanxin's mouth, there was no sense of disobedience.

Is Zhao Chuanxin just such a person?Don't be stingy, Cixi is used to it, what else can others say?

However, Zhao Chuanxin kept saying that it was his territory, but he actually said it to the Portuguese.

As for the Qing court, hehe, the weakness of the Qing court's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is almost equivalent to no diplomacy.

The intensity of talking to foreigners is far less than that of Zhao Chuanxin.

The most important thing is that Zhao Chuanxin does whatever he wants. If he is tough with the Portuguese for his own territory, the Qing court can completely shift the responsibility to Zhao Chuanxin.

In this way, the site can be preserved.

Except for the Japanese reporter who was not invited but heard the news, the Chinese people present at this time sincerely admired Zhao Chuanxin.

If you think about it carefully, whenever you encounter this kind of thing, as long as Zhao Chuanxin is present, you will always use the toughest means to solve it.

It's really depressing.

Zhao Chuanxin pressed his hands empty: "I won the territory, you are happy for me, I can understand. But it would be better if you can get some money."

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "Of course, if you don't pay for it, then report this matter to me more, which is a small favor for me. Later, our Xuantianzong will prepare some small gifts for all reporters. Come on. Let's call it a day."

Everyone is curious, there are gifts?
When they got the things, they realized that the small gift was each a notepad with high-quality paper, and the hard cover was also printed with beautiful cursive English letters.

This book is neatly cut, without any burrs, and every page is very thick. Everyone here is playing with pens, and I can't put it down immediately when I hold it in my hand.

In this day and age, money is really not everything. Many times you can’t buy good things with money. This is the disadvantage of lack of supplies.

Most people can't read English.

But those who understand English, such as Hu Xiaoyun, look a little weird.

Because it was printed on the cover: For the Lawson Trust Company.

Because the Lawson Trust Company printed a large quantity, Zhao Chuanxin brought some back casually.

I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

……

In the past and in the future, whenever the Portuguese want to expand the territory of Ao Island, they will have conflicts with the local people.

In this era, some patriots are far from the cowards who can only bark on the keyboard incompetently like later generations, but now people have something to do.

The people in Guangdong and Hong Kong Island advocated the local yamen to survey the boundaries, but after the Qing government's Ministry of Foreign Affairs was weak, the people spontaneously organized a group called the "Boundary Survey Maintenance Association".

This group had been to Jiu'ao Mountain before, and told the people about the Portuguese' wolfish ambitions.

Therefore, when Luo Shada took people to Jiu'ao Mountain to survey and map, he was stopped by the local people.

The adjutant said: "These squinting bastards are preventing us from surveying the terrain..."

What do Chinese people do when they don't like certain people?
He must have stood up straight, with his neck stuck up, his head tilted, and his eyes squinting at people.

This is called not looking straight at people.

As in the original history, when the Portuguese wanted to expand their territory, the first pass was the local people.

Luo Shada was expressionless, and said indifferently: "Just now at the foot of the mountain, a monkey threw a branch at me. What did I do?"

The adjutant was taken aback: "You killed that monkey."

Losada asked again: "Then how did the other monkeys behave?"

"Let's go away."

Losada pointed at the villagers: "Do they look like a group of monkeys?"

Adjutant: "Like a group of squint-eyed monkeys!"
