"Zhan Kui, please don't walk around the guards, just guard the boat, and all procedures will be handled according to the American rules. After I get ashore, I will ask the office people to contact the US government. Please read the Ω∮ book W÷wΩWΩ.QingKan Shu.cC” The cute president did not forget to remind Wang Zhan Kui, "When you are outside, you must be careful, you must know that we have brought so much money."
Wang Zhankui nodded and said, "Don't worry, President, I have reminded my brothers many times along the way. This brother in the company has been carefully selected. We will not bring guns to the ashore."
"It seems that someone is coming to pick us up." Princess Katrina Kaifu's eyes pointed at the person on the shore and said to the cute CEO.
The cute president looked around and smiled and said, "Yes, it should be someone from the office."
Xuan Yuewu smiled and said, "They still wrote to welcome the young master according to Tianjin's habits. I have to tell them later that they are the president now."
Because of the joint being opened, the cute CEO's fleet was not embarrassed, nor did they search for their guns. This time he brought ten pistols for self-defense and within the allowable scope of the Port Authority.
The fleet docked at the designated location, and the cute president and his group of more than a dozen people entered New York with the people coming to greet the office.
The cute president stays in one of the most luxurious hotels in New York.
In the next few days, the cute president took Princess Katrina Kaif to visit everywhere. Xuan Yuewu was responsible for collecting talents and caring for international students. All the cute president's international students were arranged at Columbia University, which was the earliest and well-known university in the United States, and is famous for its engineering.
After the cute president arrived, the people in the office immediately contacted Washington. US President Grant attached great importance to the boss of Clinsmann's foreign company because the US ambassador to China Jonathan and Grant are good friends. Because of Grant's military background, many people in his system are officers who participated in the war. Please read the ∮Ω book W w ∮�Ω.

US President Grant sent a Qing Guotong to meet with the cute president.
This man was named Li Xiande. He was originally from France and later moved to the United States and became an American citizen.
After the outbreak of the American Civil War, he met the 51st Infantry Regiment of New York. He was seriously injured in 1862. After recovering from injury, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel. He commanded a regiment in the 9th Army and participated in the Battle of Vicksburg under Grant. Later, he was injured again in the Battle of Mangyuan. While recuperating in the hospital, he also experienced the last raid of the Southern Army. When he retired after the war, he was a brigade general.
In October of the fifth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1866), he became the US Consul in Xiamen.
In February of the sixth year of Tongzhi (1867), the American merchant ship Luo sank on the reef (now Lanyu) off the eastern coast of Taiwan. The survivors were killed by the indigenous people of Langjiao (south of Xialinbian, Fengshan County, Qing Dynasty), which led to negotiations with the Qing government, and the incident of the Luo sank on its own attack on the indigenous tribes.
During this period, Li Xiande was ordered to come to Taiwan for inspection, but because Lang Qiao was located outside the Tuniu Line belonging to Shengfan, Taiwanese officials were unwilling to intervene, and Li Xiande had no results in his negotiations with the official. So on January 1, 1869, the eighth year of Tongzhi (1869), he entered Lang Qiao on his own to negotiate with Zhuo Qidu, the head of the 18th Society, and agreed that the indigenous people would no longer harm the Western shipwrecks drifting here.
Because of this experience and being able to speak Taiwanese, Li Xiande was regarded as a Taiwanese fantasy.
Li Xiande resigned as consul of Xiamen in the 11th year of Tongzhi (1872), and took a boat back to the United States to transit through Yokohama, Japan. Under the introduction of the US Minister, he met with Japanese Foreign Secretary Deputy Hoshima.
At that time, Japan had attempts to expand overseas, and because a large number of gentry (old samurai) were unemployed after the Meiji Restoration, it caused huge social problems, and it was more actively seeking to divert internal affairs through foreign wars.
In the tenth year of Tongzhi (1871), there were 54 people floating in the Ryukyu Miyagi, Kojima, who were killed by the indigenous people. Japan planned to send troops to Taiwan under the pretext of protecting the people and questioning Shengfan. Please read the book W w Ω W Ω W Ω . ∫QingKanShu. cC
I feel like a treasure to this helper who comes to my door.
Japan promised Li Xian to obtain the corresponding official title of General of the Sixth Army. If he occupied Taiwan, he could also be the governor of Taiwan.
Li Xian’s experience in dealing with Luo Mei’s title pointed out that China’s politics and religion are not as good as foreign lands, and Japan can use foreign lands as the right to send troops to Taiwan.
Li Xiande provided maps and photos of Taiwan, and said that it would be possible to easily occupy Taiwan with only two thousand troops.
While studying Li Xiande's plan, Li Xiande returned to the United States this time to see if he could find a higher position in Asia. This is a typical political speculator.
Li Xiande is certainly clear about the rise of Klinsmann Foreign Company in China, so he happily accepted the appointment of US President Grant to meet with the cute president. Li Xiande hopes to become the US Consul General in China and replace Jonathan.
When he arrived at the hotel, Li Xiande was conquered by Xuan Yuemeng's luxurious life and noble style. He was just a speculative politician, and he did not get much benefit, nor did he get any high-end materials. Seeing Xuan Yuemeng's pomp, he was so envious.
"Dear Mr. Yuemeng, I have long admired your name!" Li Xiande can use fluent Chinese and is very talented in language. He has lived in the Qing Dynasty for less than five years and can speak Fujian dialect.
The cute president had also heard of Li Xiande's name, but only heard that the ambassadors in the Qing Dynasty were like flies, and he would not deliberately remember, "Hello, Mr. Li Xiande, I am very grateful to President Grant for sending such a heavyweight official as you. I should have asked for a meeting with Mr. President."
After more than a year of baptism, the cute president was able to naturally hang out with diplomatic officials.
Li Xian laughed, "Mr. Yuemeng, you have to be polite. I am the President's envoy. If you have any questions, please don't see me. I have a lot of feelings for the Qing Dynasty and admire Mr. Yuemeng's business talent!"
The cute president smiled slightly and arranged to have a meal with Li Xiande in this luxury hotel that night, and gave Li Xiande a check of 10,000 US dollars!
The cute president has always done these etiquettes well. If you want to get anything from others, you must make friends first!
Li Xian was ecstatic. He had been in the Qing Dynasty for five years and had not earned ten thousand dollars. He did not expect that Xuan Yuemeng would act so generously, and he felt like he met too late. "Mr. Yuemeng, you are so polite. I am very interested in your investment in Danzhou plan. If you want to make money quickly and make more, there is no better project than the colonial plan! I happen to have a big project in my hand. I wonder if Mr. Yuemeng is interested?"
The cute president gave Li Xian money to meet Grant and discusses the purchase of arms! Regarding investment, the cute president has started operations in the past few days. He contacted dozens of European companies in New York through the office of Klinsmann Foreign Company in New York, intending to speculate on the stock market and gold!
The cute CEO didn't expect that Li Xian was so familiar. He had to talk to him about a big project as soon as he met. He smiled and nodded, "Listen to the ears."
Li Xiande looked excited, "I just like to cooperate with someone with strong talent like Mr. Yuemeng!"
As Li Xiande said that, he told him about the detailed experience of meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister Deputy Shima Hoshimo before returning to the United States, and sold the various benefits of occupying Taiwan to the mom CEO.
The cute CEO was furious! This was the first time he knew about such a thing. The cute CEO had very little knowledge of history. He was just an ordinary working young man in modern times. Now that he heard about Li Xiande’s plan, how could he not be furious?
Li Xiande said so detailed to himself, it was nothing more than showing off and negotiating. Obviously, Li Xiande hoped to compare the stores. If there were people with higher conditions than the Japanese offered, he would hope to have more choices.
The cute president smiled slightly: "Mr. Li Xiande, I am very interested in your plan. Japan is just a small country. Is their 6th general worth? Moreover, they said that you should be the governor of Taiwan. Do they have the strength to support you? Japan has just had the Meiji Restoration, and its national strength is not worth mentioning. Without a strong force, what is the difference between you, the governor of Taiwan and the toilet guard? Anyone can go there. Although my words are rude, do you think this is the reason?"
When Li Xian saw Xuan Yuemeng, he seemed to be unbelievable, so he hurriedly took out the handwritten letter from Deputy Shima Hoshi to him, "The truth is indeed this, Mr. Yuemeng, don't you believe it very much? I didn't brag, I told the truth. Here is the handwritten promise from Deputy Shima Hoshi! I can't find someone with more strength to cooperate for the time being. No matter how weak Japan is, it is a country after all. Moreover, I think Japan has a future, it is more courageous than President Grant. Mr. President does not care about Asian affairs."
The cute president read the letter with a smile. The letter was written in Japanese and English, with some similar things like written guarantees. The Japanese were also afraid that Li Xian would sell this military use plan and occupation plan to other countries!
The cute president heard from Li Xiande's words that Li Xiande should have sold his plan to occupy Taiwan to US President Grant! On the one hand, Taiwan is too big, and too far from the US mainland, the United States may not have plans to use force against Taiwan because of the influence of the Qing court and the pressure of major powers! Therefore, Li Xiande is now actively contacting Japan to promote this matter.
"Mr. Li Xiande, Japan is a small country. Their two empty titles may not be as valuable as the 10,000 US dollars I just gave you!" The cute president smiled slightly, "I am a businessman. I have no idea about the country. I only know that money is money when it comes to my pocket!"
