Chapter 019 Situ Meitang (Today
The faint light flickers on the table, on the dim surface of the antique oriental furniture, and strangely refracts in the crystal glass of the chandelier. Anyone who comes to this room will be fascinated by this room with a mixture of Eastern and Western decorations.
It sounds strange. Although it is strange, there is no dissonance between the Oriental furniture and the European and American decorations.
"Boss, Mr. Li is here!"
Listening to his subordinate's report, Situ Meitang struggled to suppress the yawn that was about to come out and sat up straight again.
"Invite him in!"
Situ Meitang said a little tiredly.
A few minutes later, Li Zicheng, wearing an exquisite black suit and looking like a rich young man, appeared in the room. Before entering the room, he even took a closer look.
"Weed out the strong and help the weak, eliminate violence and bring peace to the good!"
When I entered the door, I saw such a pair hanging in the main hall with the portrait of Mr. Guan. This is the main hall of "Anliang Hall". When I first arrived in New York, I was "favored" by "Anliang Hall" to some extent.
, although it is just a favor of two meals and one night.
Because Taylor was in Bethlehem to help him find technical personnel in various fields, he first went from Bethlehem to San Francisco. He never thought that when he got off the bus, there would be someone "waiting" for him at the train station, and then he invited himself there.
"An Liang Tang", if it had been someone else, I'm afraid I would still be a little worried, but the person who invited me was Situ Meitang, the headmaster of An Liang Tang, so I didn't need to worry about this person at all.
"Mr. Situ! Hello!"
Walking into the side room from the main hall, looking at the forty-year-old middle-aged man with a square face in front of him, Li Zicheng respectfully bowed his fist to the most talked-about man in Chinatown.
"Mr. Li!"
Situ Meitang, who originally stood up to welcome him, quickly hugged his fists.
"Now Mr. Li is well-known in America, and he has brought great face to us Chinese people!"
"Mr. Situ is so complimentary..."
Li Zicheng, who was standing next to the carpet, did not sit down. At the same time, he began to mutter in his heart, what did Situ Meitang mean by inviting him here? And he still left him at the train station.
"Mr. Li, why are you still standing? Mr. Li can come to the humble abode, which will make the humble abode shine! Come on...please sit down."
Situ Meitang said enthusiastically, and took the initiative to stand up and walk to Li Zicheng, shaking hands with him, and at the same time looking at the young man in front of him who made the Chinese in the United States blush.
With delicate eyebrows and a straight bridge of nose, he looks like a handsome man at first glance. His appearance is a little feminine because his skin is too white, but his bright eyes add some perseverance to his femininity. And Situ Meitang
I even noticed that the look in his eyes could not deceive anyone.
When the two shook hands with each other, Situ Meitang secretly exerted some force. The young master's hand was not limp as he imagined. It was cold and very strong. The palm was full of old silkworms. It was obvious that this young master was by no means a pampered person.
Worried about the "rich young man", at least this person is not willing to be a rich man.
When Situ Meitang looked at and tested Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng also looked at the leader of Situ Hall. This person seemed amiable and seemed to have nothing to do with him, but this was just an appearance. This Situ Hall leader
Lord, more than ten years ago, I beat a white man to death in a restaurant for eating a meal.
Within minutes, the two of them tested each other, and both got the answer they wanted! When they let go of their hands, they both laughed loudly at the same time, and the laughter echoed in the room.
"Please sit down..."
Situ Meitang casually invited Li Zicheng to the sofa.
"Mr. Li!"
After Li Zicheng sat down, Situ Meitang was silent for a while and sighed.
"Mr. Li, inviting you here this time may cause some misunderstandings, but Situ only means well and is willing to forgive me!"
After saying that, Situ Meitang raised his eyes and looked at Li Zicheng.
"oh?"
Li Zicheng immediately responded without any clue.
"I don't know when Mr. Situ is referring to, Zicheng is a little confused!"
If Situ Meitang invited me here because he wanted to "ask for money," I wouldn't believe it even to death. An Liangtang had a good reputation in the Chinese American community. He would never do such a blackmail thing, and would instead help those who had just arrived in the United States.
compatriots and compatriots in need in Chinatown.
While Li Zicheng was surprised, Situ Meitang approached the bar and said casually. He stood in front of the bar for a short while, thinking about what to entertain the guests. Tea seemed inappropriate. Finally, he
His eyes stopped on an open bottle of liquor, which was twenty years old. This was Mr. Li's hometown liquor.
"Now that the Republic has been established, the country is in a troubled time..."
Situ Meitang said while pouring the wine.
"Mr. Situ, when you say this, Zicheng is really confused. At this time when the Republic has been established, it is the time when you and I are working hard to take the lead and return to the country to rejuvenate the country. Why..."
"This is true, but how can someone like Mr. Li know the current situation in the country?"
Situ Meitang interrupted him unexpectedly. After pouring two glasses of wine, he walked to the sofa with the wine glass and put it on the coffee table.
"We all live abroad, and we always have to go home one day...
After drinking all the wine in the glass, he raised his head and stared at Li Zicheng, who was not sure whether he was really confused or fake. The silver in his hand was too eye-catching.
Li Zicheng also thought about it in his heart. Situ Meitang and Sun Wen and others are old friends. Now that Yuan Shikai has become the president, is it possible that he wants to persuade him to help Sun Wen and others? Or...
"Now that the Republic has just come into being, there are many things going on in the country. At the moment, the most important thing in the country is finance. The government has no money to use, and all the personnel stationed abroad are running around trying to borrow money..."
"Ah—really? That's right, I just heard about this!"
In response, Li Zicheng held the wine glass but did not drink it. He was not in the habit of drinking on an empty stomach.
"Well, yes... and Mr. Li is now famous. In terms of his wisdom, Mr. Li is probably the smartest person among the Chinese. In terms of his wealth, you can be said to be the richest man in China. If Mr. Li returns to China,
if……"
Situ Meitang blinked and reminded the young man in his twenties who had become a billionaire with his patent. The reason why he did not want to say it clearly was because Mr. Li was different from others. There were businessmen among the Chinese.
There are rich people and college students, but if you look around China, you won't be able to find a "big inventor" like him.
"I wonder what Mr. Situ's opinion is on this matter?"
Li Zicheng asked in return.
"I don't have any opinion."
Situ Meitang kicked the ball to Li Zicheng. He would not express any opinion. He would just remind him as a compatriot that no one would touch him in the United States. However, after returning to China, he would treat those "officials who are almost "poor and crazy""
"Speaking of which, who would let this piece of fat go?
Silent, Li Zicheng finally understood what Situ Meitang meant. He was worried that after returning to China, he would become a piece of fat that all forces competed for. However, how did he know that staying in the United States was the best option?
The most dangerous thing is that the only way to survive is to return home and try your best to find opportunities to protect yourself before Morgan can react.
After a long silence, Li Zicheng did not speak, but took out a pen and a checkbook from his pocket, tore up a check, and wrote a few words on the back to Situ Meitang's surprise.
"mt=((ms)t+(me)t)/z."
As soon as he finished writing, Li Zicheng looked up at Situ Meitang and asked.
"Mr. Situ, does he know what this is?"
Looking at the string of foreign letters, Situ Meitang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.
"Mr. Li, don't laugh at Situ. Situ is just a rough guy. He has never gone to school, so how can he know what this is?"
"More than ten years ago, when Zicheng was still young, he traveled abroad with his father. Although he didn't learn much, he came up with this national power equation because of what he learned!"
At this moment, Li Zicheng seemed to be arrogant.
"National power equation?"
Situ Meitang really doesn't know what this is.
"The steel industry is an important factor in a country's achievement of industrial independence and even economic independence. It is also a key element in measuring national strength. According to this national strength equation: mt=((ms)t+(me)t)/z. Among them
The three coefficients are population, steel, and energy production. It can be seen that steel plays a significant role in a country's comprehensive national strength. And based on this formula, anyone can conclude that a country's population, steel production, and energy production are not as good as other countries.
It will be bullied by other countries, and this is the case in China. Today, how many people are willing to invest in the steel industry, which is time-consuming, expensive and has a long payback period? But the country is not strong without steel. China has been bullied by the big powers for decades. Today,
When the nation is liberated, it is precisely because you and I have done what we are doing to strengthen the country. How can we avoid going abroad because of some unexpected events?"
Looking at Situ Meitang, Li Zicheng said what he saw in the "National Power Equation" and his own thoughts.
"Guo! Zicheng is about to return to his country. However, Zicheng returned to the country for no other reason than for one thing. To use the proceeds from selling patents, he returned to the country to invest in industry, steel, machinery, and mining in an attempt to enhance our national strength and thereby achieve the prosperity of China.
Tao, if the Chinese people regard me as fat, then..."
With a wry smile, Li Zicheng seemed to be sighing, but he was also muttering in his heart, would he just come out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den? According to Situ Meitang, he now has a reputation, and sometimes, maybe reputation is the best
Wasn't the reason why he said these words just to use Situ Meitang's words to spread a reputation of "caring about the country and the people" and "seeking strength through industry"?
"Mr. Li..."
"Zicheng has thanked Mr. Situ for his concern, but Zicheng has decided to return to the country. Please don't persuade Mr. Situ!"
He must go back to China. His drawings, gold and even the Boeing 727 are all on Captain Lewis's ship. His ship is now sailing towards the Panama Canal, and he has to return to China to pick up the goods!
After hearing this, Situ Meitang nodded vigorously, his face became solemn, then he picked up the teacup and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Li Zicheng in front of him.
