Of course, Li Mu hopes that Chen Guofang can be re-elected as governor of Vladivostok, and it is best to continue his reelection until Chen Guofang fades out of politics.
This is of course the most ideal situation, but it does n’t matter if Thomas Chamberlain came to power. Although Thomas Chamberlain is a Democrat, in Vladivostok, whether it is the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, he must look at the face of a big capitalist like Li Mu, even Thomas. Chamberlain’s coming into power will not prevent Li Mu from emigrating from the Qing Dynasty, or because of the good relationship between Thomas Chamberlain and the Qing government, Li Mu will more easily emigrate from the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing government will not value the population as much as Li Mu.
Thomas Chamberlain is of British descent. Although he is in his fifties, his body is aging, but his mind is fully mature, and there is no lack of life experience. This age is at the peak of politicians.
When I saw Li Mu, Thomas Chamberlain was very enthusiastic, and there was not much traditional British stubbornness. It seemed that Jeff Lee was right. This Chamberlain really had a close relationship with Grover Cleveland.
What disappoints Li Mu slightly is that although the vast majority of Vladivostok people are now Chinese, most of them are eligible to participate in the dinner, mostly whites. This cannot be changed in a short time. The Chinese lack outstanding talents such as Li Mu and Chen Guofang. Even if Chen Guofang is more inclined to plant Chinese in Vladivostok, Vladivostok, there are not so many qualified Chinese for Chen Guofang’s use. For at least ten years, this situation will not be fundamentally changed.
“Mr. Riem, thank you very much for your attention to Vladivostok. Before I came to Vladivostok, I thought it was a barren land, but I was wrong. Vladivostok is a city with as much potential as San Francisco. This city has its own unique charm. I can now understand why Mr. Riem bought this place for a large price. I’m sure it won’t take many years for the Russians to regret it. “Thomas Chamberlain flattered Li Mu, probably because of Thomas Chamberlain There are many reasons for dealing with the Qing government, and he is familiar with the habits of the Chinese, and even Thomas Chamberlain has fluent Chinese, which surprised Li Mu.
“It seems that Mr. Chamberlain has really stayed in Qing Dynasty for a long time. Your Chinese is very good.” Li Mu wanted to get more news from Thomas Chamberlain.
“I came to the Far East twenty years ago. I used to work for 11 years at the U.S. embassy in Qing Dynasty. In addition to diplomacy, I also have some commercial business projects in Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately, the Qing Dynasty people do not like it. We white people, but Vladivostok does not have this problem. Here, white people and Chinese people can live together peacefully, and even if we sometimes do n’t speak the language, we can try to understand each other. ”Thomas Chamberlain is not just a pure politician, the US government also Politicians are never forbidden to do business, so the proportion of millionaires in American politicians is very high. Thomas Chamberlain is also one of the best. Otherwise, he will not come to Vladivostok to compete with Chen Guofang.
Of course, in the face of Li Mu, Thomas Chamberlain also used appropriate rhetoric when speaking. In Li Mu’s understanding, the relationship between Vladivostok Chinese and white people is not good. Chinese in this era are facing white people. At that time, it was not a thoroughgoing promise. There was no resistance at all. The white people were rampant in the Chinese, basically after the invasion of China by the Eight-Power Allied Forces. The Boxer Movement completely suppressed the Chinese resistance.
Li Mu was also very excited when he just learned this. Previously, Li Mu looked at the history of the late Qing Dynasty. The history books are not detailed. In many cases, they are very different from reality. The foreigners in the book are arrogant and Chinese. It is not the case that all grievances are made. The Chinese in this period are not as weak as described in history books. The Chinese in Cuba will take the initiative to resist the Spanish colonialists. If it is done with all their might, this kind of thing would never happen.
The same is true of the new immigrants who immigrated to the United States. After experiencing the initial running-in period, most of them can enter the new life with the most positive attitude. This is not the same as the self-reliant Irish and Italians. Many Irish After immigrating to the U.S. for many years, people and Italians are still impoverished, and most Chinese are able to start their own businesses. This was the case before Li Mu came to the United States.
In Vladivostok, this situation is even more obvious. Perhaps it is because most people in Vladivostok are Chinese. Chinese people have almost no adaptation problems in Vladivostok. Around Vladivostok, there have been many Chinese residents who are not in the plan of the Vladivostok state government. District, it won’t take long, as long as they can own a piece of land, they can survive tenaciously.
Unlike the Chinese people, those white people who came to Vladivostok did not have a calm attitude, and they still faced everything in Vladivostok with an adventurous attitude. Most of the Chinese came to Vladivostok to reclaim wasteland. The Vladivostok State Government It has been promised that as long as the reclamation of wasteland is within 100 acres, it will become personal private property, which makes almost all Chinese people go crazy to reclamation of wasteland, even if the snow falls, they can’t stop their enthusiasm.
At the same time, the white people who came to Vladivostok were mainly hunting for treasure. Many of them wanted to get rich overnight, so what attracted white people more was gold mines, oil fields, and at least metal mines. As long as these were found, Even if they do not have the ability to develop things, as long as they sell them to large enterprises, it is a lot of money.
Under these two mentalities, the relationship between the Chinese and the whites is naturally impossible. The Chinese look down on the whites. The whites look down on the Chinese tradition. Some extreme whites still retain the cowboy mentality. They also work part-time as thieves while exploring. And robbers, when confronting Chinese who like to live in groups, the contradiction is naturally more and more.
“Language problems can be solved slowly. There may be no language communication between our generations, and certainly not between the next generations. After a while, the Steed Affiliated School will be established in Vladivostok. The problem must be solved slowly.” In fact, Li Mu And Thomas Chamberlain is not a generation. Thomas Chamberlain is old enough to be Li Mu’s father, but this does not prevent equality between Thomas Chamberlain and Li Mu.
If there is inequality, it is Li Mu’s status above Thomas Chamberlain.
“I believe it will be the same. No one is sure about the future. Even the United States did not exist 200 years ago. The Vladivostok State Government has just been established and changes with each passing day.” Thomas Chamberlain is also lamenting. Of course, unlike Li Mu, Thomas Chamberlain does not have as much participation as Li Mu.
Yes, strictly speaking, what Li Mu is doing now is to create history. Compared with the original history, the time and space in which Li Mu is located, history is beyond recognition. Maybe World War I will be ahead of time. As long as Yan Shun succeeds, the Far East The landscape will change dramatically. Even for Li Mu, everything now is fresh, which also causes the “prophet” advantage that Li Mu has is gradually diminishing.
However, this is not a problem. At present, Li Mu’s dependence on memory is gradually decreasing. There are endless new inventions emerging from the Steed Lab, and the strong economic strength and political influence of the Steed Group. No one dares to ignore Li Mu’s existence.
Li Mu did not talk with Thomas Chamberlain for too long. After Lawrence Lucas arrived, Li Mu and Lawrence Lucas left the banquet hall directly. There were too many things to communicate between them.
“How is Tommy’s performance?” Li Mu’s main concern is whether or not Tommy Edmond will be in the position of Lawrence Lucas after the departure of Lawrence Lucas.
“Not bad, Tommy has a lot of experience, is full of energy, never fears challenges, and he will stand on his own after a while.” Lawrence Lucas praised Tommy Edmond, although deep down Lawrence · Lucas doesn’t want to leave the Pacific company now, but it’s clear that Lawrence Lucas cannot reject Li Mu’s appointment.
As the top manager of the Steed Group, Lawrence Lucas knows that Steed Group will have a series of big moves in the Far East. Lawrence Lucas believes that Steed Group will succeed. Then, the position of Pacific Company in Steed Group will be Straight up, at this time transfer Lawrence Lucas, it is impossible to say no complaints, but Lawrence Lucas also knows that Li Mu will definitely not treat him, this is enough, as the steed As a member, Lawrence Lucas didn’t have much choice.
“Very well, I planned to transfer you back to the headquarters of the group, but the group needs someone with sufficient execution power to develop the European market. You also know that because of Solomon Loeb, the group’s development of the European market was not smooth. This time Let you go, I hope you can go well, don’t let me down. “Li Mu is very confident in Lawrence Lucas. Although Lawrence Lucas has made mistakes in his previous work, it is not the kind that is unforgivable. The work of Lawrence Lucas at Pacific Company has proved that Li Mu can give Lawrence Lucas more trust. It is also a good thing not to transfer Lawrence Lucas back to the group headquarters. Lawrence Lucas should be understandable.
Of course, it is understandable that as a banker, Lawrence Lucas has no problems with his intelligence. All the horses up and down know that Henry is going to retire sooner or later, and Li Mu is a shopkeeper’s personality. Although Li Mu’s age is appropriate, but Everyone knows that Li Mu will definitely not be the president of the group in person, so it is not necessarily a bad thing for Lawrence Lucas to abandon the position of general manager of Pacific Company. In recent years, although the Junma Group has also adjusted its position, Lucas’ appointments are the most frequent, which in itself is the greatest trust.
“I will do my best. If I can, I hope to go to Europe later. Tommy is very good, but the contact time with the Pacific company is too short. To give Leo more support, Tommy needs more time.” Lawrence · Lucas is still not assured. Tommy Edmond previously worked at the Steed Group headquarters. Although Tommy’s personal ability is good, it will take time to verify whether he can successfully take over the Pacific Company, but support for Yan Shun is urgent. Changing the general manager at this time is not the best choice.
“Of course, it will take a while before you go to Europe. During this time, Leo’s work is more important. Tell me, how is the situation now?” Before Yan Shun came to the Far East, Lawrence Lucas did a lot. In the preliminary work, although Lawrence Lucas will report to Li Mu at regular intervals, there are some things in the report that are unclear.
“Progress is not going well. We can only do some auxiliary work. No one will take the initiative to promise us. I want to affect Liang Guang and Liang Jiang as much as possible, but it is not easy. The officials of the Qing Dynasty do n’t like us Americans. They are willing to Those useless children and women sell to us, but are unwilling to discuss anything outside of business with us, or they don’t trust us, we need to do something to let them recognize the truth. “Lawrence Lu Kas was very helpless. In this era of Qing Dynasty, he did not experience the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 and the 8th Allied Forces invaded China. Most Qing officials still had hope for the Qing government, so the work of Lawrence Lucas did not make much progress.
In fact, Li Mu’s most hope is to reach a certain degree of agreement with officials in Jiangnan. It is best to reach an agreement between Jiangnan provinces and participating countries as in the case of the Eight-Power Allied Forces’ invasion of China, and they will not get involved in the war.
This is the best case, and it is really difficult to realize. Another “space mutual protection in the southeast” appeared on the premise that Jiangnan officials were completely disappointed with the Qing government, which made the Qing government lose its face and marked the Qing government. The complete loss of control of the place is tantamount to the death knell of the Qing Empire. Think about it. The officials who signed the “Southeast Mutual Guarantee” agreement with the participating countries are actually rebellions against the Qing Empire. From the official’s standpoint, “Southeast Mutual Protection” is responsible to the locality. At least this agreement protects the locality from the war and protects local interests.
If it is indeed impossible to reach an agreement with officials in Jiangnan, then Li Mu hopes that officials in Jiangnan will not do their best for the Qing government as they did during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement and go all out to destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
This is not difficult to achieve. Unless Li Mu is so arrogant that he has to compete with the Qing government inch by inch for land from south to north, Li Mu believes that most southeast local officials will not serve the Qing government at all. After all, Yan Shun rebelled and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Not the same. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom laid down Jinling, the regime was established in Jinling, and there was no strong will to launch the Northern Expedition. It was obvious that Yan Shun would not make such a mistake. As long as Yan Shun did not actively attack those local governors, Li Mu would Don’t believe it, those local governors would march into King Jingqin thousands of miles.
