Chapter 90
With Tang Shaoyi's standpoint, the incident of plundering foreigners' money was awesome. However, Wang Chenhao gave him 35 million taels of silver to buy American Bank bonds, and such a huge sum of money really surprised him.
The silver has been exchanged for two (passbooks), one deposits two million pounds and the other deposits one hundred and fifteen million US dollars. But Tang Shaoyi still felt a huge weight in his hand. This weight comes from the pressure brought by the huge amount, and also comes from Wang Chenhao's reuse and trust in him.
Tang Shaoyi tentatively said again: "Sir, are you not afraid that I will cheat the money and run away?"
Wang Chenhao was naturally afraid, but he had no time to take action himself and was unwilling to miss this opportunity, so he had to take a gamble no matter what.
"I believe in Shaochuan's character! If Shaochuan is a person who loves money, he has worked in the tax offices in Tianjin and North Korea for ten years, and it is easy to get one million taels of silver. But now Shaochuan is clean and just for this. I believe Shaochuan is an upright person."
Tang Shaoyi was naturally warm in his heart when he got Wang Chenhao's trust, but the feeling of being looked at by Wang Chenhao still made him smile bitterly and said, "Sir, do you think you know Shaochuan's background clearly?"
Wang Chenhao smiled and said, "Shaochuan has far more talents than one ambassador to the United States. If Shaochuan respects me, I am willing to help Shaochuan achieve higher careers. The Prime Minister is the role that Shaochuan should have."
Tang Shaoyi was shocked when he heard this. Premier of the State knew how big an official he was, but the Qing Dynasty did not have the position of Premier of the State. Wang Chenhao said it and made people think deeply. The meaning of changing dynasties was very obvious. So he said in a panic: "Sir, please be careful."
Wang Chenhao didn't care. He knew that Tang Shaoyi was not a loyal man from the Qing Dynasty, but he did not dare to speak nonsense. If someone supported him and gave him confidence, he believed that he would definitely stand up and follow him.
"We don't have to hide it between you and me. We are all people with new ideas and great ambitions. We are all people on the same front. Only by helping and supporting each other can we realize each other's ideals and ambitions."
Tang Shaoyi felt that there was no secret in front of Wang Chenhao, and even the thoughts he had hidden deep in his heart could not be hidden from him. In front of him, Tang Shaoyi felt as if she was naked as if she was not wearing any clothes.
"Sir, don't you have to realize your ambitions now?"
Both of them dared to make things clear. They both understood what ambitions and ideals mean, but they didn't say it directly, leaving room for maneuver for themselves.
But when Tang Shaoyi said this, he had already admitted that he had the same idea as Wang Chenhao. This was enough.
Wang Chenhao then smiled and said, "Ambitions and ideals are both noble and lofty. How to achieve them has to be long-term plans, no rush or rush. If Shaochuan helps me, I will get twice the result with half the effort."
Tang Shaoyi smiled bitterly, Wang Chenhao still wanted to force him to express his opinion. However, Tang Shaoyi thought of Wang Chenhao's emphasis and trust in him, and thought he could still try it.
"Since the adults value Shaochuan so much, then Shaochuan will do his best to help his ambitions and strive to add icing on the cake."
As he said that, Tang Shaoyi bowed to Wang Chenhao to the end and gave a big gift.
Wang Chenhao hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up, saying happily: "With Shaochuan's help, it's not just a icing on the cake? It's like a tiger's wings."
The two of them looked at each other and knew what the other person meant. This code-style conversation was really exciting and they couldn't help laughing.
After the two of them showed up, they became much closer to each other. Wang Chenhao then expressed the second purpose of the trip. "Does Shaochuan know financial entrepreneurs in the United States?"
Tang Shaoyi asked back: "What do you mean by sir?"
Wang Chenhao explained: "After this plan is successful, you will make a lot of money, but this money is not needed in the short term. I plan to keep this money in the United States and continue to appreciate in some good-performance businesses. Therefore, talent management in this area is needed. It is best for Americans to be a lot less trouble!"
Tang Shaoyi thought for a while and said, "This matter is left to me. When I was studying at Columbia University in the United States, I stayed at Gerden's home in Springfield City, Massachusetts. Gerden is a Ph.D. in Business Administration at Columbia University. Currently, he is an associate manager for a bank on Wall Street. We have been good friends for more than ten years and have letters every year."
"That's great!" Wang Chenhao was very happy and said, "After Shaochuan arrived in New York, he would find a way to contact Gdener and let him use it for me. After the completion, I will send me a telegram and I will give you the next instructions."
As he said that, Wang Chenhao took out a copy of the Analects and handed it to Tang Shaoyi, saying, "This Analects is the telegram codebook we contacted, and it was deciphered by the Telegram Bureau of the United States and the court. You must keep it carefully."
Tang Shaoyi couldn't help but exclaim: "Sir, I think so thoughtfully, Shaochuan remembers it."
After the two talked about the main things, Li Youyi took Zheng out.
At this time, after Li Youyi's dress, Zheng was completely different from the previous one. With gorgeous dresses and expensive jewelry, and carefully dressed up, Zheng had a bit of extra-girl image and a noble lady. Tang Shaoyi was very happy and hurried forward to look at it and looked at it.
After a long time, Tang Shaoyi came back to his senses and turned to Wang Chenhao and Li Youyi and said, "Sir, Madam, how can Shaochuan bear it?"
Wang Chenhao laughed and said, "Why do you distinguish between your own family?"
Li Youyi took Zheng's arm and said to Tang Shaoyi: "Mrs. Tang is now my sister, so Lord Tang is not allowed to bully her!"
Tang Shaoyi was stunned for a moment and looked at Zheng.
Zheng nodded embarrassedly and said quickly: "Thank you for your wrong love from your wife, Shaochuan treats me well."
Tang Shaoyi smiled bitterly in her heart, and thought that the couple were both disguised and obedient, so she smiled and said, "With a wife supporting her, Shaochuan is afraid that she will be bullied, so how dare she bully her?"
After saying that, everyone couldn't help but smile.
Wang Chenhao and his wife stayed in Guanyi for an afternoon and had dinner together at the invitation of Tang Shaoyi and his wife, and the relationship between the two parties went further.
The next day, Tang Shaoyi and his wife set off for New York and took their two daughters to take office. Wang Chenhao and his wife went to the dock to see him off in person, which made Tang Shaoyi and his wife very grateful. Because Tang Shaoyi was carrying a huge sum of money, although this matter was unknown, in case of precautions, Wang Chenhao still sent twenty personal soldiers to protect him and escorted Tang Shaoyi and his family to New York safely.
At this time, the American Railway had been completed. Tang Shaoyi and his group arrived on the west coast of the United States by boat, then took a train to Washington, and then arrived in New York for more than a month.
On September 3, Tang Shaoyi arrived at the White House in Washington. After submitting the letter of state, the US government determined that Tang Shaoyi was the new ambassador to the United States of the Qing government.
The relationship between the Qing government and the US government was not good. Since the US government passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Qing government revoked the embassy in Washington in protest, leaving only the New York Consulate General and the San Francisco Consulate General.
Tang Shaoyi entered No. 520 12th Street, New York on the 5th, where the Consulate General in New York was the Consulate General in New York. After completing the handover procedures with his former Minister to the United States, Tang Shaoyi officially began to exercise his full-rights of the minister to the White House.
