On December 25, 1894, on the Western Christmas Day, the US Concession, which had been closed for eight months, was officially opened to the public for the first time.

At nine o'clock in the morning that day, the main entrance of the concession lit 100,000 firecrackers, and the thunderbolt rang continuously, and there were 9981 salutes, which shocked the Tianjin Guards from all directions.

As the invited VIP guest, Li Hongzhang was not present. As his identity, he was not suitable to get involved in a bunch of foreign affairs during the national war, leaving only verbal words. However, he was very proud of his face and sent his second son Li Jingshu who stayed in Tianjin to study.

The descendants of the Li family in Hefei are all talented, and Li Jingshu was born with two teeth and was even more talented. Although his career was not smooth, it was also related to his humble and restrained nature. This time he came, he gave Yang Hao enough face.

Needless to say, other leading figures related to the Yanhua clan were coming in a row. Many old men who were in charge of the family arrived early in order to support Yang Hao in person and leave an old impression. Everyone could see that the Yang family would soar into the sky, and its momentum was unstoppable.

Envoys from all countries are also invited.

I have to say that the foreigners are so thick-skinned. They had joined forces to plot against Yang Hao before, but failed. Now they are all coming like nothing is wrong, smiling and smiling, and those who don’t look like they think it’s a good relationship.

Yang Hao also understands the way of thinking of foreigners. The so-called "business is business", it is normal for everyone to do whatever they want for the sake of their interests. It doesn't matter if they fail. It's not like looking for other opportunities for cooperation. It's not like the Easterners who have made great enemies, they have to die. Why bother? Everyone is just for money.

The consuls of Britain, the United States, Germany, France and Russia, all countries have come, and not one or two of them have come. In addition to their wives, they have also come a large number of servants. Needless to say, they are planning to talk to Yang Hao about a big business that is good for everyone.

This is also one of Yang Hao's intentions to open a port in advance. Since the foreigners could not help but plot against him, he turned around and cheated a bunch of grandchildren. It is better to cheat early than to cheat late. It is better to cheat early, so he just took advantage of the fact that 1894 had not passed and settled the account first.

The gates of the concession were opened, guests flocked in, and journalists from all over the world were invited to enter for the first time. Hundreds of people rushed in, and they suddenly felt that they were not enough to see!

The wide cement avenue, evergreen vegetation, and neat and uniform building complexes are arranged in an orderly manner. Although most of them still have scaffoldings, they are not as tight as they were last time, but they reveal the completed main frame, waiting for further decoration.

This is the work of Chinese construction workers in this world in the 21st century.

In just eight months, a winter spanned in the middle, they actually built the main building of a small Western city. All the steel structure bodies were constructed from concrete, and most of the main buildings with various functional buildings with less than ten floors were equipped with them.

The most impactful one is a tallest building in the Far East today, which is as high as twelve floors! With the underground floor, the top two spires, and a height of 88 meters, it is definitely worth it even in Western countries. Not to mention, there is a majestic antenna tower that pierces the sky, which is 140 or 50 meters in total. Looking up, it makes people dazzling!

This building is the main building that opened today. Its name is very ordinary, and it is called "Oriental Library". There are actually several floors inside. It is the largest public library in the East. It contains at least hundreds of thousands of Chinese and foreign books from two time and space. There are also countless rare and lonely books collected in this world.

However, this is just one of the functions. The podium at the bottom is a super comprehensive hypermarket with six floors, but it is the commercial center reserved by Yang Haixin. In the near future, she will use countless rare goods to search for the wealth of various countries in the B plane.

The first time they got permission, the reporters were hiking around like headless flies, wishing to find out the details of each building. Many people had ulterior motives and wanted to do something, but soon they found that it was not working at all. Not only were there more than 200 black-clad patrol officers in the concession, but there was also a battalion of armed forces temporarily transferred. Whoever dared to stab her will be killed.

This is the concession, and you have this kind of privilege. If you don’t agree, you can try it!

After hurriedly opening his eyes, everyone gathered in front of the building. When Yang Hao and American Minister Tian Bei cut the ribbon together, all the guests did not have to be frozen outside and entered. Then they were surprised to find that there was a cinema with more than a thousand seats and an opera house with complete facilities and complete shapes!

This is a big deal! No one can tell how big it is.

After Yang Hao made a passionate speech, the reporters couldn't wait to raise their hands to ask questions.

The correspondent of the London Times in China and the Tianjin English Times. He deliberately said loudly in English: "I was surprised to find that the buildings here are extremely beautiful and conform to architectural details. It is hard to imagine that such a magnificent building can be designed and built in the East that ignores technology. Mr. Yang, which country is the design institute you invited? And which country's construction engineers are responsible for the specific construction?"

The foreigners smiled arrogantly and knew the intention of the question. Who can do such a grand building except for people from the Western civilized world?

Yang Hao was too lazy to talk to the foreign devils and said loudly: "I can tell you responsibly that all the buildings in the entire concession, from design to construction, and then to every material used, are all completed by the Chinese themselves. I cannot disclose the specifics of those people. As for whether the Chinese can complete the magnificent architectural design, please refer to the Great Wall and the Forbidden City."

In the venue, a low burst of laughter suddenly sounded, and many people even applauded Yang Hao's answer.

You can mock the Chinese for not respecting technology and despising craftsmen, but you must not say that Chinese people are not creative. Especially when doing large-scale construction projects, since ancient times, there are probably few countries in the world who can compare with the Chinese. But all the developed countries present today are even less qualified.

Mitz was not satisfied with this answer. What he really wanted to know was exactly what Yang Hao concealed.

You should know that more than 100 acres of land in the US Concession are large, but the amount of construction projects for all buildings is very scary. With the contemporary technical level, not to mention the design cycle, construction alone cannot be completed in three years. And it also requires tens of thousands of skilled workers to do it.

Yang Hao has only been in eight months for the contract of the US Concession. How did he complete it so quickly? And as for the buildings he saw in front of him, the number of advanced technologies contained in them is uncalculable. Just pulling out some of them is a huge business!

However, Yang Hao refused to answer the question directly, so he could only frown in displeasure. He wanted to ask questions again, but he couldn't. The reporters came not only for them, but even if the British Empire was powerful, you had to stop at the right time.

Madison, a reporter from the New York Times, immediately stood up and asked: "Mr. Yang, have you ever considered recovering the cost when you build the entire concession building complex with an unprecedented scale? In addition, you contracted this place as an overseas Chinese. Once you are revoked from American nationality as of April next year, what do you plan to do?"

The crowd at the scene was slightly turbulent, and this question was very sharp, and they were very concerned about it. After all, all foreigners in Tianjin at this time were only one or two thousand, and the British and French concessions were as big as that, and the rent collected in a year was only a few thousand taels to be sustained. Yang Hao had to spend at least tens of millions of dollars to build a building, so how could he not be able to pay for it? Sell it? Who wants it!

Another question is even more troublesome. Once the American goes back on his word, what can he do? Will he fight against a powerful country?

Yang Hao glanced quietly across the audience and replied calmly: "China will soon become an open and advanced country. I believe that in the near future, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people from all countries will enter the concession, so there is no need to worry about profit issues for me. As for my identity and the ownership of the concession, I want to say that I am Chinese, and this is China's land! The concession is always the concession, and his lease period must be limited, and it can be recovered in advance!"

"coax!"

It seemed like a bomb was put in the crowd, and there was an uproar! The foreigners showed surprise and confusion on their faces, and more of them were incredible.

Madison was excited and shouted loudly: "Can I understand that Mr. Yang is confident that he can dominate China's civilization process and even take back the concession from various countries in advance?"

Everyone's eyes were all focused on Yang Hao. Whether Chinese or foreigners, whether they were gloating, supporting or worried, they all hoped to hear Yang Hao's most authentic expression.

Yang Hao had a solemn face and shouted loudly: "That's it! And I have full confidence that countries around the world will be happy to see and accept China's rise at that time!"

"How is this possible!"

"It's ridiculous. Did he really think he has become the leader of a country? Even defeating Japan is so hard, so where did he get the confidence to make such a big statement?"

"Hey, he's still too young! How can you say such things? No matter how Chinese and foreign countries can't tolerate you, the people in the court will not be able to get through first. I'm going to be troublesome, I'm going to be troubles!"

The Chinese guests were disgraced and shook their heads, thinking that Yang Hao was too arrogant.

Some of the foreigners were thoughtful, but most showed sarcastic smiles, especially the British. They would never allow China to become stronger and challenge the world order.

Madison doesn't care whether what Yang Hao said is true or not. He only needs an extremely impactful gimmick to create a report that can get high attention. After all the topic is thought, it is called: "A Chinese native's arrogant fantasy!" r1152
