"ancestor!" How did you do it, Mr. Xiao? I'm still trying to persuade you to grow your hair, why is it so short now? And Dragon Lord, why did you get such a big bald head? " Tanggu Tong Keng Ming Kui stood on top of wharf with his eyes wide open.

How could he not be shocked? Xiao Letian and his family had the identity of American citizen, the Daqing could not force them to keep their braid, but Dragon Lord and his people were all citizens of the Daqing.

Xiao Letian subconsciously touched his hair, then he looked back at Dragon Lord and the bodyguards' bald heads and immediately laughed. This shaving atmosphere spread throughout the Tyrant Blood Flame that night.

At that time, Xiao Letian and the rest had made a large number of Molotov's cocktail, and in addition to that, the entire Na Ba Cheng had set fire to Japanese. The braid left behind by the people of Qing Dynasty were too troublesome, even an expert like Dragon Lord was not spared from it.

In the end, Dragon Lord became ruthless and actually cut off the braid. The hot-blooded youths at that time, could not care about any sort of laws, and under Xiao Letian's instigation, each and every one of them cut off the braid. This was the origin of the baldy.

"Hehe, don't mention it, didn't Ba get burnt by the fire when he was doing it with Japanese, you don't know, that Ba's night of fire was so bright that half of the city was burnt, not to mention the braid, Japanese even burnt all of the Pants …" "Ahh, Lord Zhou, you don't know, but a Japan woman with a huge fire is running around naked on the street. It makes my eyes go blurry …"

Xiao Letian had a dishonest look, and was even smiling evilly with Zhou Mingkui, causing people on wharf who did not know him to be extremely surprised. However, when they found out that this was the 'culprit', Xiao Letian, who had massacred Tanggu a few months ago, everyone subconsciously took half a step back.

"Good boy, this is the Deicide that the Tanggu people talk about. We all know that adults is like San Wu Steel in front of him, other than smiling apologetically, there is no other expression …"

"Shh …" Lower your voice, Xiao Letian is the real Owner of Rakuten, you don't want to live anymore? The Rakuten has unified the business circles of the Tanggu, and you said that you cannot borrow money from other people's Rakuten … "

"That's right, this is a person we cannot afford to offend. It is rumored that the man-eating Industrial Zones is brought here by this person, and when the walls are erected, the evil spirits would be raised. If you dare to disobey and throw them in, you'll be eaten alive …"

The fools on wharf have now equated Xiao Letian and the demon with themselves. They were so scared that they lowered their heads to work and did not even dare to look at him.

Along with Zhou Mingkui, Fan Sai Manager's and the other famous Great Owner from Tanggu came to pick Xiao Letian up. These people were all subdued by Xiao Letian during the Tanggu riot, and now they all looked at Liu Tie like a cat or mouse.

"Mr. Xiao has made a name for himself overseas, and he has made a name for himself in the kingdom. This is a remarkable achievement. mister has a chance for a marquis. A marquis has a chance …" mister Wei, this noon, Wang HaiLou, everyone collectively do East to mister to meet the wind and wash away the dust... mister has greatly increased the prestige of our China overseas. We, the merchants, do not think that it is a blessing in disguise, so we gathered a hundred thousand Current silver and ask mister to reward us …

The innkeeper of the 20-30 wharf was so cold that he rubbed his hands and feet, congratulating Xiao Letian at the same time. The respect he showed was almost the same as being filial towards his father-in-law.

At first, Xiao Letian didn't pay much attention to it, but when he heard there was a hundred thousand taels of silver, he immediately stood still. cow-keeper, you got rich? How could he gather a hundred thousand silver s without even paying off his debt? "How generous …"

cow-keeper of the Four Seas Trading Company was laughing so hard that he lost his eyes. He walked out of crowd and hit the ground with his fist, "Replying to Mr. Xiao is not because of your grace, but now everyone in the northern business circles knows that you are the god of wealth riding a black tiger. No matter how much money you put out, you will receive 10% of the profit.

What cow-keeper said was the truth that came out of his heart. Xiao Letian's current Rakuten actually already had the rudiments of a future Bank, how could Trader not love Bank? A low-interest loan with a bit of money was no different from giving it away.

"mister is so kind. mister is really the one saving lives for us, Bodhisattva!" "One hundred thousand taels … Even if we gave you an extra profit, it would have been what you deserve. It's all yours …"

Xiao Letian nodded and smiled, "If that's the case, then I'll be grateful. I just happened to order two sea ships from the USA, and these hundred thousand silver is enough as a deposit. You guys have really gotten my attention, hahaha …"

When cow-keeper and the others heard this, they were stunned, "mister, what did you say?" You bought the sea Ship? "Good heavens, the foreigners can agree. They can open the sea lanes?" All of a sudden, the crowd burst into an uproar. And at this time, three figures appeared on the Merchant ships behind Xiao Letian. One was Mai Kekaneiji, one was the Cleric Liu Yisi, and the last was USA's Messenger Ma Xiu.

The USA was preparing to sell Xiao Letian three 70-percent new scissor boat, each of which had a capacity of 2000 tons. Although each of the Battleship was equipped with only ten sets of Artillery for self-defense, President clearly loved Xiao Letian, and these cannons were all given to the very advanced 120-millimetre rear loading naval gun. Furthermore, the Ammunition were also given to the most advanced flowering bomb.

The boat was good, the cannons were good, but the price was also good. Obviously, Xiao Letian's saving grace could not be discounted. Just these three scissor boat s alone gave Xiao Letian a huge sum of $600 thousand.

Xiao Letian's heart was bleeding. Although he did not know much about the true cost of scissor boat, he did know a little about the cost of UK s. In the early 19th century, the best main battleship s were those with over a hundred Artillery s in the third floor, but the actual cost was only one hundred thousand.

scissor boat were only large sized Merchant ships s, and their construction costs were much cheaper than Battleship s. These scissor boat s produced by the USA would at most cost around $40,000 to $50,000, and even if the Artillery was added, it would be more than $60,000. However, the USA s were willing to pay $200,000 each, whether or not they liked it, they were not willing to lower the price.

The price had risen three times! This was a huge profit! A huge profit! But there was no choice, this was a seller's market, even if the countries of Asia were not convinced, there was no way, who told you not to produce it.

Although the boat was expensive, Ocean trade's profit was astonishing. Two hundred thousand dollars per scissor boat would be enough for him to earn a lot of money in two years. Adding to that, what Xiao Letian needed to do was to make a huge profit from the Silver trade, it was only six hundred thousand dollars, it was only two hundred and forty thousand Silver, it was Mao Yu.

Today, when the Daqing's Trader found out that the Rakuten was about to have Ocean trade, they were so excited that tears flowed from their eyes. A hundred thousand taels of silver for such a good news was worth it.

"mister has really raised the morale of China. These years, he has caused the foreign merchants to have unspeakable bitterness, just bullying us because we don't have a sea ship, so we can't directly go out to do business. Now that we have a ship, we don't need to rely on others anymore …" "We won't leave until we're drunk, but we won't leave until we're drunk today …"

Xiao Letian sighed in his heart. You guys are so excited with just two Merchant ships. It can be seen how much anger they have held in their hearts all these years. This is a force that no one else but me can control.

Ma Xiu and Mike, who were behind Xiao Letian, looked at the group of Trader, who looked just like Reverend Lewisson. They had just started learning Chinese, so they could not understand what Trader was saying. In the end, Reverend Lewis was the one who answered their questions. When Liu Yisi said that Trader had gathered 100,000 silver worth of Silver for Xiao Letian in the blink of an eye, the two USA Grandma Liu were dumbfounded as if they had entered the Grand View Garden.

"Oh my God, one hundred thousand Silver, wait for me to calculate …" Oh, God, God bless, they gave Xiao Letian 250 thousand dollars for nothing? A scissor boat just gave it to him for free? "How is this possible …" After all, Mike was just Trader, he suddenly realised that the people standing on top of the wharf were not human, they were all golden dolls.

Ma Xiu was a military official sent by President, and he had never seen someone as generous as him. "No, no, dear Priest, you are God's messenger, you can't lie, you're going to hell with that …"

Looking at Ma Xiu's stubborn look, China Tong said with a wry smile, "I swear to God, I'm not lying. This is the first time you have come to the China, so you all have no idea how rich this Country is … "

Liu Yisi could not help but think about what he saw and heard in the Northern Capital City. Those literati would spend thousands of silvers in one night in the eight main lanes, while Wu Tie and the other officials would privately sell their positions. Tens of thousands of silver of Silver would be digested like water on the official site.

This was a ridiculous Empire with a huge gap between the rich and the poor. The rich could spend hundreds of thousands of silver taels to build themselves a large mansion to raise a harem, but the poor would not even be able to eat a single meal.

"Can a hundred thousand taels of silver still be considered money to these invited citizens?" I heard that in the Imperial Palace, one egg for one hundred silver, that's $250! " Liu Yisi muttered.

The Wu steelers of Tanggu gave Ma Xiu and Mike a lesson, their previous speculation about the poverty of this Empire was overturned. This was an ancient Country with unlimited wealth, his background was something westerner could not comprehend.

Xiao Letian was very good. He had heard the entire conversation between the three Wu steelers in English. Xiao Letian shook his head and sneered, "What do you guys know? China has accumulated so much wealth over the past few thousand years that you guys can't even imagine. China lacks a modern financial system and thus, we need to mobilize all of this wealth. As long as all of this wealth surface, Chinese would like to modernize, is there a need to go out and snatch it? "

Compensation for two Opium Wars, a war compensation payment, a war compensation payment... Adding on the incident with the glume, the incident with the Yili and so on, just the treaty with the Daqing had sent out nine hundred and ninety million Silver, which equated to a total of 1.3 billion.

Furthermore, this was only the compensation from the contract, coupled with the Silver s earned from the western commercial invasion, it was even several times better. Thinking about this, Xiao Letian stayed up all night in grief and indignation, unable to be able to teach.

"How many times has Industrial Revolution not been enough to get this much wealth? How many Iron Armor Battleship could he buy? The oceanic hydrologist that Li Hongzhang set up back then only spent 1 million silver to buy this ship …. What a pity, if there were two Northern Ocean Fleet s back then, then the recent history of the China would have truly been rewritten … "

Just as Xiao Letian was about to go back and teach his USA friend a lesson, a group of people suddenly ran over from the distance.

"My lord, my lord! "You've finally returned. I truly missed you to death. Slave, good day to you …" Following the voice, a black shadow flew over like a skinny mantis spirit.

"Aiya, my god! What kind of monster is that? Dragon Lord, quickly protect me!"
