After returning to the executive chair and sitting down, Zhong Yi fell into deep thought.
As mentioned before, there are three reasons why Zhong Yi attacked Chen Jinmu and the evil forces in Yinjiang as soon as he got off the bus. The first was to kill people to establish authority and shock the Yinjiang officialdom; the second was to take the opportunity to master the regular armed force of the Yinjiang Security Division. , but these two are not the main reasons. The main reason for Zhong Yi is to make money!
Because Zhong Yi had already expected that he would encounter financial difficulties after taking charge of Yinjiang.
In fact, at this time, all local governments are not troubled by financial difficulties!
If Zhong Yi wants to gain a foothold in Yinjiang and then open up the situation, it is absolutely impossible without money!
"However, the stolen money obtained from the attack on Chen Jinmu and the evil forces is only enough for him to establish a foothold at best. According to Zhong Yi's estimation, it will be bottomed out after this year's end! Later, if we want to open up the situation and usher in development in Yinjiang, we have to find another way, because Yinjiang no longer has a second Chen Jinmu to kill pigs for him.
Furthermore, even if a second Chen Jinmu were to kill him, it would be a drop in the bucket for the development of Yinjiang, because the funds Zhong Yi will need next will be an astronomical figure!
However, Zhong Yi is already prepared for this.
I am afraid that this matter will eventually fall on foreigners, and we will still have to find foreigners to borrow money!
Zhong Yi had just thought about the foreigners when Gong Weiqian came in and reported: "Please take a seat, the foreigners are here again."
"Foreigners? You've come at the right time." Zhong Yi curled his lips slightly and said, "Invite them in."
After a while, Gong Weiqian led Li Qimo, Commodus and Joseph Mays in. This time all three ministers came.
Gong Weiqian poured a glass of boiling water for the three foreigners and bowed out. He knew that Zhong Yi would discuss important matters with the three envoys next, and it was not suitable for him to stay and listen.
When facing elders or colleagues, Zhong Yi can basically maintain courtesy.
But facing Li Qimo and the other three, Zhong Yi no longer suppresses his true nature.
"How is it?" Zhong Yi said, putting his feet on the table, and Ge You slumped on the big chair, while shaking his feet and casually said, "Have you considered it?"
There was shame and anger on the faces of Li Qimo and the other three.
But in the end, Li Qimo and the three of them still suppressed their anger.
Because compared with money, mere courtesy is really nothing.
"Think about it." Li Qimo breathed a sigh of relief, tried his best to persuade himself to stay calm, and said, "We are willing to pay the one hundred thousand pounds, but we have a condition."
"Let me correct you, it's 110,000 pounds! Because one day has passed." Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said, "As for the conditions, why don't you tell me and listen?"
Li Qimo said in a deep voice: "We don't care who owns all the opium dens in Haishu, Jiangdong and Jiangbei, but you must ensure that these opium dens will reopen one day!"
Hearing this, Zhong Yi's expression immediately turned cold.
Li Qimo immediately felt a little uneasy in his heart, not knowing what he said wrongly.
But he still bit the bullet and continued: "Also, all opium in opium dens must be ordered from Sangun Foreign Company!"
Hearing this, Zhong Yi could no longer hold back. He picked up the Browning pistol placed on the big table, cocked the bolt, and pointed the black muzzle at Li Qimo's face.
Li Qimo turned pale with shock and said in a trembling voice, "What are you going to do?"
Commodus and Joseph Mathew also looked at each other. They didn¡¯t understand why Zhong Yi suddenly turned against him?
Zhong Yi pointed a gun at Li Qimo and said sternly: "Li Qimo, believe it or not, I will kill you right now? I can guarantee you that I will make everything perfect! Outsiders will only think that you died in an accident!"
"You?!" Li Qimo felt his throat was dry, but he didn't dare to pick up the tea cup and drink water.
"And you guys!" Zhong Yi turned to Commodus and Joseph Mathew again and said, "If you dare to mention opium in front of me again, don't blame me for turning against you!"
It was only then that Li Qimo finally understood why Zhong Yi¡¯s reaction was so intense.
It turns out it¡¯s because of opium! It seems that their previous guess was right, Zhong Yi has zero tolerance for opium! He simply does not allow anyone under his control to smoke opium!
Li Qimo looked at each other with Commodus and Mathew, looking depressed.
Commodus and Joseph Mathew also looked discouraged. It seemed that the lucrative opium business was no longer possible, at least in the urban area of ??Yinjiang! Now they only hope that the third battleThe district chiefs can do more to secure the channel to Jinhua, otherwise they will really have no money to make.
But the cruel reality soon dealt them a heavy blow.
Zhong Yi continued: "You no longer need to use the name of the Third War Zone Commander's Department to smuggle opium from Yinjiang to the rear. As long as I, Zhong Yi, am in Yinjiang for a day, I will never allow a box of opium to leave from here." Go! This kind of drug, which is harmful to the country and the people and will only harm the body of my compatriots, must be banned!"
Li Qimo shook his head, stood up and said: "In this case, we have nothing to talk about. We will not pay the ransom of 110,000 pounds. You can continue to imprison the ninety-seven Royal Marines if you want. But I might as well remind you that the British Empire¡¯s patience has its limits.¡±
At this point, the negotiations have completely broken down.
Li Qimo decided to break the jar.
Anyway, if the opium business cannot succeed, the worst he can do is not be the minister. But even if he is not the minister, with his previous savings, he can live a comfortable life in Shanghai, London or even the United States.
"It seems that Mr. Minister is not going to talk to me anymore." Zhong Yi said with a smile on his lips, "However, I also want to remind you, Mr. Minister, that Chen Jinmu is not stupid. He is actually I secretly kept a lot of physical evidence of the transactions with you, such as the manifest for picking up the goods from Sangun Company"
After a pause, Zhong Yi continued: "I think people from the Customs and Taxation Department would be happy to see these manifests."
"Are you a threat?" Li Qimo laughed instead. If he wanted to continue doing business, he still had some concerns about the customs, but now he doesn't do business, and he doesn't even plan to stay in Yinjiang, so he won't do it at all. Is it possible that Chinese Customs still dares to arrest him, the British Minister, if he cares about customs inspections?
"It seems that you don't even plan to stay in Yinjiang." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "In this case, I really can't do anything to you, at least China's laws can't do anything to a diplomatic envoy like you."
"It's good that you know." Li Qimo sneered, "So you have no other choice, either continue to cooperate with us, or wait to face the wrath of the British Empire."
