C2236 Peach in return for plum (2/2)
The two of them immediately saluted. ”Please dispel our confusion, General!”
Sima Yun shook his head: ”Don't ask me, don't ask me, I'm going to look through the French intelligence reports that Jonas sent over. I'm not good at diplomatic matters … If you want to find out, I suggest you find someone … ”
”Who?” The two of them asked in unison.
”Wang Junlan! the group leader of the Home Note, seems like he's going out today … ” Leaving behind just that one senseless sentence, Sima Yun left.
Xiang Ying and Bing Tai Lang looked at each other, and without saying a word, they turned and ran straight to the main entrance. Just as they arrived at the main entrance, they saw a black carriage preparing to leave, and the captain of the Home Note s, Wang Junlan, was sitting on top of it.
”Wait for us... If you are not on a top secret mission, then bring us along! ” The two of them panted as they spoke.
Wang Junlan scratched his head: I am going to look for Duke of Newcastle to talk about buying a shop, and also sign a contract. This kind of thing is extremely boring, are the two generals interested?
”Yes!” ”Of course I'm interested. Today, the Führer is going to visit a school and a factory. He doesn't have any important external affairs. We're just idling away …” After saying that, the two of them squeezed into the car.
Diplomacy in the nineteenth century, unlike in the twenty-first, was limited by transportation conditions, and such intercontinental visits took a long time.
First of all, the journey was long and time-consuming. It was not easy to travel abroad once, so many things were put together for negotiation. This extended the time.
At the same time, they had to take into account the physical condition of the distinguished guest. After three months of trekking, even if the Eastern diplomatic mission was forged by iron, it would still have to rest for the time being.
After two days of opening the gate, the guests and guests both had a tacit understanding to reduce the importance of their activities. The purpose of this was to allow the guests to rest.
Xiao Letian was finally able to sleep soundly, but his subordinates did not have that much time left. Everyone was following the plan, and they still had to run errands for Xiao Letian.
Wang Junlan, the two of them met up with the Duke of Newcastle's accountant at the agreed location and started a big inspection of the city. The location of the first Chinese restaurant in Europe was extremely important, if they wanted to take a high-end route, the location and area of the restaurant couldn't be sloppy either.
Xiao Letian would naturally not care about such insignificant matters. He would only sign his name and approve when the time comes.
After last night's banquet, The Duke of Newkes had already treated the Chinese cuisine as the family's most important gathering pot. Even the nobles who had a working relationship with him had started to take action.
Many families extended their olive branches to Xiao Letian, and one by one, they brought out the best quality store in their hands for Wang Junlan and the others to examine.
Shops after shops appeared before the three of them. They were so busy that they just randomly chose a small tavern for lunch. By 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a total of four shops had been decided upon and they were waiting for the leader's decision.
When they found Xiao Letian visiting a secondary school, the leader looked at the four shops and waved his hand, ”Buy them all!” ”In the future, Chinese cuisine will definitely catch fire. It's definitely not wrong to hoard real estate while we're here …”
”Use the fastest time to draw up the contract and pay the taxes. After doing all this, you will have to prepare to file a new application with the royal family. I don't believe that the properties in London can be sold, but the Mauritius can't?”
”Yes, that's right …” Where did our king go to play today? This is great, now that you don't even have a warrant for this master of mine, you're really promising! ”
