After returning to the senior class chair and sitting down, Zhong Yi fell into deep thought.

As mentioned earlier, there are three reasons why Zhong Yi used Chen Jinmu and Yinjiang's criminal forces to attack Chen Jinmu and Yinjiang's evil forces at the beginning of getting off the car. One is to kill people to establish authority and shock the Yinjiang officialdom; the other is to take the opportunity to master the regular armed force of the Yinjiang Guard Division, but neither of these two is the main reason. Zhong Yi's main reason 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, local governments in various places will not be troubled by financial difficulties!

If Zhong Yi wants to gain a foothold in Yinjiang and then open up the situation, it is absolutely impossible for him to have money!

However, the stolen money obtained from the crackdown on Chen Jinmu and the evil forces was at best enough to gain a foothold. According to Zhong Yi's estimate, it would be a bottom to deal with this year's end! In the future, if you want to open up the situation in Yinjiang and usher in development, you have to find another way, because Yinjiang no longer has Chen Jinmu, a second person to kill him.

Moreover, even if there is a second Chen Jinmu who kills him, it will be a drop in the bucket for Yinjiang's development, because the funds Zhong Yi needs will be an astronomical figure in the future!

However, Zhong Yi is already prepared for this.

In the end, this matter may have to fall on foreigners, and we still have to borrow money from foreigners!

Zhong Yi just thought of foreigners, so Gong Weiqian came in and reported: "Go to the seat, foreigners are here again."

"Foreigners? It's really time to come." Zhong Yi curled his lips slightly and said, "Please come in."

After a while, Gong Weiqian led Li Qimo, Commod and McJoseph in, and this time the three ministers all came.

Gong Weiqian poured a glass of boiling water for the three foreigners, and bowed to leave. He knew that Zhong Yi would discuss important matters with the three ministers next, and he was not suitable to stay and listen.

When facing elders or colleagues, Zhong Yi can basically maintain etiquette.

But facing Li Qimo and the other three, Zhong Yi no longer suppressed his nature.

"How is it?" Zhong Yi said, then put his feet on the table. Ge You collapsed on the big chair, while shaking his feet casually, "Are you thinking about it?"

Li Qimo and the other two looked ashamed and angry.

But in the end, Li Qimo and the other two still suppressed their anger.

Because compared to money, mere etiquette is really not worth mentioning.

"Think about it." Li Qimo breathed a sigh of relief, trying his best to convince himself to remain calm, and said, "We are willing to pay this one hundred thousand pounds, but we have a condition."

"I'll correct it, it's 110,000 pounds! Because a day has passed," Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said, "As for the conditions, why don't you tell me?"

Li Qimo said in a deep voice: "We don't care who will eventually fall into Haishu, Jiangdong and Jiangbei's opium dens in the end, but you must ensure that these opium dens will reopen one day!"

Hearing this, Zhong Yi's expression immediately became cold.

Li Qimo's heart immediately felt a little nervous, and he didn't know what he said wrong.

But he still bit the bullet and continued: "Also, all opium from tobacco restaurants must be ordered from Sangu Company!"

Hearing this, Zhong Yi couldn't help but pick up the Browning pistol placed on the large table, pulled the bolt, and then aimed the black muzzle at Li Qimo's face.

Li Qimoton was so shocked that his face turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "What are you going to do?"

Commod and McJoseph also looked at each other. They didn't understand why Zhong Yi suddenly turned against each other?

Zhong Yi pointed a gun at Li Qimo and said sternly: "Li Qimo, believe it or not, I will kill you now? I dare to promise you that I will do everything perfectly! Outsiders will only think that you have died in an accident!"

"You?!" Li Qimo felt his throat dry, but he did not dare to pick up the teacup and drink water.

"And you!" Zhong Yi turned his gaze to Commod again, and said, "If you dare to bring opium in front of me, don't blame me for turning against others!"

It was not until this time that Li Qimo finally understood why Zhong Yi's reaction was so intense.

It turned out to be because of opium! It seems that their previous guess was correct. Zhong Yi has zero tolerance for opium! He does not allow anyone to smoke opium under his control!

Lichmore and Commod and McJoseph looked at each other, looking depressed.

Commod and Mai Joseph were also disgusted. It seemed that there was no profitable opium business, at least it could not be done in Yinjiang city! Now they only hope that the chief of the Third War Zone could be more powerful, and at least they could save the channel to Jinhua, otherwise they would really have no money to make money.

But the cruel reality quickly gave them a heavy blow.

Zhong Yi continued, "You no longer have to think about smuggling opium from Yinjiang to the rear with the help of the chief of the Third War Zone. As long as I, Zhong Yi, stay in Yinjiang for one day, I will never allow a box of opium to pass here! This kind of drugs that harm the country and the people will only infringe on the body of my compatriots must be banned!"

Li Qimo shook his head and stood up and said, "In this case, we have nothing to talk about. We will not give the ransom of 110,000 pounds. If you want to, keep keeping the 97 Royal Marines, but I might as well remind you that the patience of the British Empire is limited."

At this point, the negotiations have completely broken down.

Li Qimo decided to break the jar.

Anyway, the opium business cannot be completed, and at worst it is not the least that he will not be the minister. However, even if he is not the minister, he can live a wealthy life with his previous savings when he goes to Shanghai, return to London, or even to the United States.

"It seems that Mr. Minister is not going to talk to me anymore." Zhong Yi smiled and said, "However, I also want to remind Mr. Minister, you, Chen Jinmu is not stupid. He actually kept many physical evidence of trading with you, such as the order of picking up goods from Sangu Company..."

After a pause, Zhong Yi continued: "I think the people from the Customs and Taxation Department would be happy to see these orders."

"Are you a threat?" Li Qimo laughed instead. If he wanted to continue doing business, he was still a little concerned about the customs, but now he didn't do business anymore. Even Yin Jiang didn't plan to stay there, so he wouldn't care about the customs inspection at all. Could it be that the Chinese customs dared to arrest him, the British minister?

"It seems that you don't even plan to stay in Yin Jiang." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "If this happens, I really have no choice but to do anything to you. At least the Chinese law cannot do anything to diplomatic envoys like you."
Chapter completed!
