C84 Carnegie Family

Although France's Merchant ships s were engaged in the opium trade and were involved in smuggling, in essence, Captain Corsica was still Trader, a person with morals and limits. When the Lucky slowly approached the wreckage, Xiao Letian discovered that the entire sea area had become a mess.

"Oh God, this is too tragic …" Ke Xijia kept crossing himself on his chest. In the sea at the bow of the ship, one could smell the faint scent of blood. Broken wooden planks and floating barrels were everywhere. Amidst the chaos, the remains of human corpses were still floating in the air.

The fins of a shark could be seen from time to time. There were at least forty to fifty sharks on those fins. It seemed like the boat was doomed.

"Look, there's a little sampan up ahead …" "Oh my god, there's a unconscious person inside. It's European …" Sailor who was rowing the boat quickly approached the small sampan and used it to tow the wooden boat back to the Lucky.

The Lucky's Wu Steelers searched the sea area for an hour and finally confirmed that European was the only survivor. When the sky began to darken and dinner was ready, the young man lying on the deck finally woke up.

"Oh, thank you …" Am I on that Country's boat? " The man took a few sips of water to regain his strength.

"English? The USA's Voice? You are Americans... We are the France's Merchant ships, I am Captain Ke Xijia, these Chinese are my Guest … " Ke Xijia said.

At this time, Xiao Letian also squatted on the ground and asked in English, "Friends, I'm United States Minister and the priest Liu Yisi's Friends, I'm willing to provide you with the necessary help, are you from that tyrant?"

"Ah?" Qing nationality actually had such a New York accent... Oh yes, the Merchant ships that I was riding on originally wanted to transport a boat of sugar to Ningbo Port, but it was a pity that we encountered this storm halfway.

During the conversation, everyone knew that Americans's full name was Mike. Most of these people were the children of rich families who wanted to get some training. The Family gave them a sum of money as a gift from the Family to the Money. They took this money and began to travel the entire world to broaden their horizons.

For example, in this sugar trade, Mike had spent over two hundred bags of money to buy it. When he arrived in Ningbo, he would also sell the sugar along with the owner to earn some meagre travel funds.

Generally speaking, the ocean merchants would be willing to help these young people, because those who dared to play like this were all children with high education and Family had a certain background, who wouldn't want to have more connections?

In Captain's room, Xiao Letian and Captain Corsica invited the young people to dinner. During dinner, Xiao Letian asked Mike for his next plan, and Mike firmly said that he was going to the Qing Kingdom.

"I have to go to the Qing Kingdom. As a commercial investigator of the Family, I have to understand the first hand of the Qing Kingdom. I heard that the Qing Kingdom is about to be activated, and I have to work hard for the Family …"

Hearing that, Ke Xijia and Xiao Letian looked at each other and smiled, then Ke Xijia said, "Mike, when my ship is preparing to send Mr. Xiao to the Naga Harbor, I will have to return home. I'm afraid I can't send you to the Qing Kingdom anymore. However, if you are willing, you can follow Mr. Xiao and advance forward. With this Americans's Zhou Tie, I think your trip to Qing Kingdom will be fruitful … "

Xiao Letian dipped some dry bread into the thick French soup. Feeling the crispy taste in his mouth, his mind kept spinning as he thought. After a long while, he thoughtfully asked, "Mike, you just said your last name is Carnegie?" I have a question. I wonder if you know someone named Andrew. Where are the Carnegie people? "The Jews, they should be in the Steel business …"

Crash, the cup in Mike's hand was knocked away. He stared at Xiao Letian in disbelief. "Why do you know my brother?" My brother's name is Andrew Carnegie, and I just received your help to explore the Daqing's market … "

Puchi … Xiao Letian spat out all the tea in his mouth. The waves in his heart even surpassed the storm that had just subsided. In his previous life, Xiao Letian had also read about the legendary Steel King, so he could only admire him in his heart. Although Xiao Letian couldn't remember the time in that biography very well, he remembered one thing very clearly.

Not long after the end of the Civil War, when Carnegie was thirty years old, he officially set up the Carnegie Steel factory and quickly entered the fast track of his career. Right now, it was just when Carnegie was about to start. If he could get involved, the benefits would be countless.

In 1865, Carnegie established his own Steel Company, and it was this year that Xiao Letian met Carnegie's Brothers at glume.

The current Carnegie was not the rich one in USA, whose name was renowned throughout the world. He was only a slightly successful Steel Trader, and his Carnegie Steel factory should still be under construction, it was hard to say whether or not it would go into production. To the current Carnegie, how could he not pay attention to the huge Qing Kingdom Market.

Furthermore, Xiao Letian, this little butterfly, had already changed the history of the USA. With President Lincoln not dead, the industrialization of the USA would only accelerate rather than slow down. With his friendly relationship with Lin Ken, he would definitely be able to give more points to his business. As long as he could get the points he wanted from the glume Royal Family, Xiao Letian believed that his future would be bright.

Xiao Letian kept calculating in his heart. He really couldn't understand why Carnegie would set his sights on Daqing the moment his career was set up. In the real history, all of Carnegie's businesses would hit the Europe and America, so he wasn't very interested in the Asia.

And now, he had actually sent Family members to explore the Daqing Market across all of Pacific Ocean, so there could only be one possibility, the keen-nosed Jewish Trader could have found out some clues about the assassination attempt of Lin Ken through some channels, and very possibly found out about Xiao Letian, the person who could influence the Government.

It turned out that Xiao Letian's guess was right. Hua Ruohan and Liu Yisi's identities on the surface were Minister and the pastor, but their second identity was Spy. This was also a diplomatic tradition. This situation was common up to the 21st century. Hua Ruohan and Liu Yisi were connected to the top consortia in the country, so they could quickly find out about the Qing Kingdom's every move.

At the beginning, these top players only felt curious about the so-called Master of Western Studies of Xiao Letian and treated it as a piece of Eastern News. But when the idea that the Industrial Zones, Xiao Letian had proposed spread to the USA, the top Trader immediately saw the business opportunity.

USA, who had just finished his civil war, urgently needed orders, and the establishment of the Industrial Zones was not only a matter of orders, it was also a shortcut to infiltrate the China. Imagine if USA obtained the Industrial Zones's, even if there was only one, it would still be a glorious victory.

Think about it, when the other Europe s still needed a long distance maritime transport to do business with the Qing Kingdom, the USA s would already be able to directly produce and sell on the Daqing's land, wouldn't the profits increase by several folds?

Ever since this piece of news had spread through the high level business circles of the USA, the pressure that Lin Ken had been receiving from the hidden channels had never stopped. There were even Trader who expressed the hope that the USA would support Xiao Letian as his spokesperson. Unfortunately, President Lincoln's obsession with cleanliness was too severe, so he stubbornly insisted on his conditions.

Xiao Letian put down the tableware, smiled and said to Mike, "Friends in the distance, may I ask if you want to see Xiao Letian in your schedule?"

"Eh? "How did you know …" Mike's eyes were full of vigilance. At this time, Captain Corsica could no longer hold himself back. Clasping his stomach, he laughed out loud, "Mcmister, your luck is very good. In front of you is the famous scholar from Daqing, the author of" Journey to the West ", Mr. Xiao Letian …"

"Oh!" My God, you really care for me, Mr. Xiao, I can take a little of your time? "Would you like to hear my introduction to Family's business …" The young Mike stood up excitedly and grabbed Xiao Letian's hand, not letting go no matter what.

The dinner lasted until well past nine, and Mike was extremely tired before it finally came to an end. Under the sky full of stars, Captain Corsica was revising the route with a sextant. Wu Tie, who was on the bow of the ship, was holding a glass of red wine, smelling the salty sea breeze, feeling the magnificence of the sea.

Tomorrow would be the glume, which was the gateway to the deep blue ocean. It was known as the 'Tsingtao of ten thousand countries', because if this chain of islands was controlled by Chinese, then it would be the bridgehead of the Ethnic Group's coastline. If the chain was controlled by Foreigners, it would become the Dragon Lock Chain of Liu Steel of China.

Xiao Letian came here for a total of three reasons. Firstly, he had to come to an agreement with the weak glume Royal Family. Even if he had to spend money, he had to get a title of Prime Minister. Didn't you, Lin Ken, refuse to do business with a commoner? Then I'll give you a Government of the same level as me as a negotiating opponent. Laozi didn't know what to say when he bought the Battleship.

Secondly, the glume was not only important to him, but it was also a place he was too lazy to pay attention to. As long as Xiao Letian's influence could infiltrate here, no matter if it was for business or training, he would be able to proceed boldly.

In the end, this was also because of Xiao Letian's bit of patriotism. glume had been a Subordinate Country of the China since the beginning, why would they let Japanese occupy it in the end?

"F * ck, I'm coming for glume. With me here, you will never fall into Japanese's hands, even if Wu Tie dries up the last drop of blood!"

Just then, Shi Dakai, who was disguised, walked to Xiao Letian's side and took a deep breath of the sea breeze, "The kingdom of heaven is destroyed, and a large number of Old Brothers fled overseas. Japan, glume, and Nanyang all have the heaven's Veteran to live." "I've already gathered more than 100 for you, and with the dozens of people we brought, we can barely gather 200. It's still not enough …"

"Do you know? The Shimadzu is openly placed in the position of Tyrant Three Thousand Liu Steel, led by a General called Hua Shanliyuan. In addition to that, there are a lot of Samoan Sun Steels, Japanese can easily gather a team of one thousand Sun Steel-ranked Army, our power is still insufficient, it's simply too lacking … "

Xiao Letian shook his head. "I'm not going to war. I just want a name. We have plenty of time …" But don't worry stonecrop, one day, I will bring many warships to invade the glume Kingdom and chase away Japanese, who is occupying this place … "

In the real history, 14 years after Xiao Letian's current era, the Japan had brazenly annexed the glume Kingdom, and from then on, the glume Island had become a chain that locked down the fate of the China.

Xiao Letian only had fourteen pitiful years to change the fate of the country.
