617 Capital export
Chen Liqiu probably wouldn't have thought that the difference in thought at the beginning actually brought Li Mu, the monster from the Qing Dynasty, to the United States, and achieved his current career.
In the Children's Foreign Studies Bureau, Li Mu and Junma Group are absolutely taboo topics. No one has ever dared to openly talk about Li Mu and Junma Group in the Children's Foreign Studies Bureau.
However, in the United States today, Li Mu and Junma Group are another topic that cannot be avoided. With its extremely huge industrial chain, Junma Group has penetrated into all aspects of American lives. Whether it is the daily utensils in daily life or luxury goods such as cars, Junma Group always makes the front page of newspapers, reminding Americans that there is such a company that is serving all aspects of their lives.
The staff of the Young Children's Foreign Studies Bureau have a way. Although the cars produced by Junma Automobile Factory are easy to use, they have not bought a single one of them at present, and they are still using the most common carriages. As for the stainless steel daily necessities produced by Junma Group, the staff of the Young Children's Foreign Studies Bureau also have a way to avoid them. They use porcelain from the Qing Empire, and are called "Don't Forget the Country".
Even so, in Springfield and even the entire New England region, the influence of the Golden Horse Group is everywhere. Children who go abroad to study are inevitably affected. They are all on the streets of Springfield, and advertisements of the Junma Group can be seen everywhere. The entire Princefield is in service. More than 30% of the citizens are serving the Junma Group, which makes the Junma Group's standard clothing spread throughout the streets and alleys of Springfield. Even if Chen Liqiu wants to avoid it, he cannot turn a blind eye.
Life is like that. Since you can't resist, then enjoy it.
Chen Liqiu has to face the reality. Before meeting with President Hayes, Chen Liqiu still needs to communicate with Li Mu first, so that he may achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Since he was destined to fail during his term as a young child studying abroad, Chen Liqiu had to make some achievements during his tenure as the Qing ambassador to the United States, otherwise he would not be able to explain it to the country.
Chen Liqiu got off the train from New York at 3 pm and arrived at the Clinton Castle Hotel in New York at 3:45. After that, he began preparing for a meeting with Li Mu.
What Chen Liqiu had just expected was that Li Mu is different from Li Mu at the time. It was not so easy to meet Li Mu. From 4:30 to 6:00, three groups of people conducted preliminary communication with the staff of the Qing embassy in the United States, and Li Mu himself did not arrive until 7:30.
"Mr. Ambassador, please forgive me. I am really busy with mundane affairs, so I came late..." Li Mu was very polite after seeing Chen Liqiu and should apologize, but his sincerity was not that strong.
"It's okay, it's okay. Such a large family business needs to be managed, so it's naturally impossible to be unrestrained..." Chen Liqiu began to be polite according to his usual style. Although his tone was very enthusiastic, the smile on his face was a little stiff.
Of course, what embarrassed Chen Liqiu is still behind. As soon as Li Mu opened his mouth, he almost choked Chen Liqiu to death: "Mr. Ambassador, I only have half an hour..."
This was a bit too direct, and it almost made Chen Liqiu choke.
"Then let's talk about it..." Since time is tight, Chen Liqiu stopped being polite and seized the time to express his purpose.
"Mr. Hayes has a very good personality. Currently, Sino-US relations... Qing-US relations are in the honeymoon period, so you don't have to be so careful. You should boldly mention what you should ask, and say what you should say boldly. Foreigners do not have a head longer than us. The most important thing is a normal mind..." Li Mu couldn't give Chen Liqiu too much constructive opinions, and the way of communication between Li Mu and Hayes was definitely not suitable for Chen Liqiu.
Not only Americans, but all foreigners at this time had been "deified" in the Qing Empire. The "foreign master" affairs were more important than heaven. For many officials, seeing foreign devils with red eyebrows and green eyes was even more affectionate than seeing his own father.
Chen Liqiu arrived in the United States on a boat with Li Mu and has lived in the United States for several years, so his understanding of Americans is definitely higher than that of other officials of the Qing Empire. At least Chen Liqiu will not be timid when he sees foreigners.
This has been a great improvement.
But it's still a bit far from Li Mu's request.
"You have become an American citizen and are a standard American, so we have different positions now, and your experience may not be useful to me." Chen Liqiu still retained some rationality. If this was as Li Mu said, he would go to see Hayes casually. After meeting him, Chen Liqiu would probably have to go home.
"Don't worry, don't worry, Mr. Ambassador, first of all, you have to know that the Qing Dynasty is of extraordinary importance to the United States. The United States really hopes to get it from the Qing Dynasty and cannot get recognition from other countries, so Mr. Ambassador doesn't have to worry at all... But I don't understand one thing myself. I heard that during the Ryukyu attacking Japan some time ago, the Qing Dynasty seemed to sell a batch of weapons and ammunition to the Japanese government. I don't know what the ambassador thinks about this matter." From Li Mu's perspective, he didn't care what the result would be for Hays summoning Chen Liqiu. The reason why Li Mu came to see Chen Liqiu was mainly for this matter.
"This matter... Mr. Reim, you should also know that Chen is in the United States and is not clear about domestic affairs. After Chen understands it, he will definitely give you an explanation..." Chen Liqiu did not cause trouble and pushed him all.
This matter is really hard to say. To put it simply, the Qing Empire's move was just blinded by interests, so it reached this deal with the Japanese government.
To be broadly speaking, it is a bit indifferent to outsiders. After all, Junma Group is an enterprise dominated by Chinese, so Junma Group is a potential enemy of the Qing Empire to some extent. Japan is just a problem with the Junma Group, so the Qing Empire's move is not surprising.
At least for Li Mu, this is reasonable.
Although Li Mu could understand why the Qing government did this, he still had to have the attitude of doing it, otherwise it would not be consistent with Li Mu's personality.
As for Chen Liqiu's name to Li Mu, this is actually a very worrying issue. Originally, according to the relationship between Li Mu and Chen Liqiu, Chen Liqiu did not need to be so disgusted, but considering Li Mu's current identity, Chen Liqiu could not take it lightly, so the customary title "Mr. Lim" has become Chen Liqiu's best choice.
"According to you, I should send a telegram to the President now. Although I should not be irrelevant about the relationship between the United States and the Qing Dynasty, considering the actual hostility of the Qing government towards the Junma Group, at least I should let the President know my attitude towards the Qing Empire." Since Chen Liqiu refused to face the reality, Li Mu simply stopped going around.
"This...why is this? Why is this..." Chen Liqiu felt a little numb on his scalp. If Li Mu held him and didn't let him go, then Chen Liqiu would be really hard to explain.
"Why isn't it so? Although I have become a US citizen now, we still have some incest. So before that, whether it is the new weapons supply and marketing contracts between the Junma Group and the Qing government, or the technology transfer, I personally support it. Now it seems, haha..." Li Mu took advantage and acted obedient, which really made Chen Liqiu feel unspeakable.
Since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Qing central government and the Qing local government have been two completely different concepts. Li Mu’s so-called cooperation and security refer to cooperation with the Qing local government. From the standpoint of the Qing central government, he should be opposed to this kind of cooperation.
So Li Mu's words are quite nonsense now. He was clearly cultivating opposition forces for the Qing Empire, but speaking from Li Mu became a cooperation with the Qing government. Chen Liqiu was really hard to speak.
"Mr. Ambassador should know that Junma Group is almost a Chinese-American enterprise, and Junma Group has always been committed to cultivating reserve forces. The Junma Affiliated School and Springfield Institute of Technology in the future will provide Junma Group with a steady stream of talents. These people may serve Junma Group, and of course they may return to the Qing Empire to do what they are willing to do. In principle, I do not interfere with this kind of thing, so I hope that Mr. Ambassador will do it myself..." Li Mu's words were a bit rude, but considering Li Mu's identity, it is not too much to say such things. If it were Rockefeller, it might be even more unpleasant.
Compared with these tycoons in the United States, Li Mu is already easier to talk to. If someone else does this, he might have taken full revenge now, which would be a disaster for the Qing Dynasty today.
The Qing government's attitude towards the Chinese does not need to be further explained. The so-called "prevention of people is more important than preventing Sichuan". It is better to be friendly and neighbors than to give them to the Chinese. This is probably a true portrayal of this period.
The Qing Dynasty's concerns about the Junma Group were not entirely groundless. From the last New York Centennial Independence Exhibition, Li Mu's attitude towards the Qing Dynasty could be concluded that Li Mu's attitude towards the Qing Dynasty was basically not very friendly, so the Qing government was very worried that once the Junma Group conquered Ryukyu and Japan, would the Junma Group target the Qing Empire next?
"This matter must not be... Li Mu, since you still have feelings for the Qing Dynasty, you should know that at this time of internal and external troubles, you must not have any disputes again. The so-called prosperity, the suffering of the people, the suffering of the people, and the suffering of the people, you must not ignore the people of the world because of temporary likes and dislikes..." The thing Chen Liqiu feared the most finally came. If Li Mu really wanted to export capital to the Qing Dynasty, then what Chen Liqiu would face would be a responsibility similar to "traitor, and the enemy". This is the crime of killing the whole family.
"It is not necessarily true that the people are prospering, the people are suffering, and the people are suffering. There is a problem that I have never understood. Please help me to answer my questions. Can the current Qing government really bring a stable and happy life to hundreds of millions of Chinese? Does the current Qing government really care about the life and death of hundreds of millions of Chinese?" Since this is the case, Li Mu no longer concealed and directly questioned Chen Liqiu, and the problem was extremely heartbroken.
Facing Li Mu's question, Chen Liqiu immediately lost. Although Chen Liqiu was talking about the person who was born and died, he was the ghost of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, Chen Liqiu knew the attitude of the Qing government towards the Chinese than anyone else. This topic was in the Qing Empire, just like Li Mu and Junma Group in the Young Children's Studying Bureau, it was an absolute taboo topic. Not to mention it, I dare not even think about it.
At this point, the conversation naturally ended in disagreement. He left the Clinton Castle Hotel in New York. On the bus back to the Governor's Island, Yan Shunzhun couldn't help but mutter: "Talking to such a person is simply a matter of playing the piano for a cow, and it has no meaning..."
Li Mu had considered the answer to this question early on when talking to a person who received education from a young age to the emperor, but Li Mu still wanted to say that just like those revolutionary pioneers, although they knew that their future would be extremely bumpy, they would still go on unswervingly.
Tan Sitong, one of the six gentlemen of the Reformation of 1898, once said a passage when he was generously executed. Li Mu could not remember clearly what the original text was. The general meaning was: All reforms in various countries were formed by bloodshed, and there has been no bloodshed victims in the Qing Dynasty. The reason why this country was not prosperous is that there are such things. Please start with Sitong.
If this passage was put into the 21st century, it would probably lead to countless ridicule and abuse. In fact, it was the same in the era when Tan Sitong lived. But it was precisely because of countless people like Tan Sitong who were exploring hard in the long dark night that they had a happy life for the Chinese people in the future.
Well, some people will say again that my life is not happy at all, but it has nothing to do with those revolutionary martyrs. Let’s find the answer from yourself first.
The next day, Li Mu sent someone to call Situ Lei to the office of Li Mu's headquarters in the Fort Park Junma Group: "If I want to export capital to the Qing Dynasty now, what is the chance of winning?"
If it were other countries, Li Mu would not need to discuss with others what he wanted to do, but the Qing Dynasty had different meanings to Li Mu after all, so Li Mu needed more opinions as a reference.
"Capital output...Rim, what are you referring to?" Situ Lei was confused and did not understand Li Mu's meaning.
"I mean, if I want to overthrow the Qing government's rule in the Qing Dynasty, what should I do? Where to start?" Li Mu was also in a hurry to seek medical treatment. If you want to subvert the state's regime, Li Mu was originally the best at it. Situ Lei and his Springfield Security Company could only play an executor at best. It was a bit too difficult to ask Situ Lei to use it as a reference for Li Mu.
