77 Night Talk
At night, Zhu Wencong stayed in his warm study, busy socializing during the day, and studying hard at his desk at night.
Now busy taking over the cotton market in the state capital and even California, Zhu Wencong can't wait to break one day into two days.
"Are you writing a letter again?" Su Yanqing delivered a cup of Wuyi black tea.
"Well! You can come over and take a look, it doesn't matter!" Zhu Wencong looked at Su Yanqing who was avoiding him. It was impolite to peek at the letter.
Su Yanting knew that Zhu Wencong had no one to contact, and there was no one in the United States that he missed, so it was strange to write the letter.
Zhu Wencong believes that there is no secret between himself and Su Yanqing. She has been silently assisting him, with no credit but hard work.
Su Yanting still did not choose to take a closer look. Although she was extremely curious, she suppressed her curiosity with courtesy.
Zhu Wencong held Su Yanqing's hand and handed the envelope directly into her hand, indicating that she could read it aloud.
"You let me see it! Dear Louis, please give my regards to your mother, Her Majesty the Queen, and your sisters." Su Yanqing was confused.
"Does America have a queen?" Su Yanqing scratched her head. When did Zhu Wencong meet Westerners?
"America only has the King of San Francisco!
That one is the princess of England. I wrote to her at the earliest, but she never replied.
As my letters continued to bombard her, she gradually got to know me, and I shared my successes each month.
I promised her that when I become successful and famous, I will marry her in a big sedan chair!" Zhu Wencong said with a smile.
Su Yanqing put the letter on the desk and sat quietly on the sofa nearby.
Zhu Wencong sat next to Su Yanqing. He actually had a lot of helplessness and pain, which he had been unable to share.
"It's okay!" Su Yanqing said slowly.
The East is polygamous, while the West is monogamous. Su Yanqing thinks she can be a small one, and that doesn't matter!
Unhappy because Zhu Wencong is so carefree, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. America is still unfamiliar, but his eyes are looking to the west.
Su Yanting found that she had never been able to keep up with Zhu Wencong's thinking. He always had leaping thinking, which was surprising.
It stands to reason that Zhu Wencong will spend his whole life in the United States, and it is somewhat unrealistic to go to the West for development.
"This is my long-term plan! You know me. Every step must be taken ten steps ahead. You must control changes in the situation.
Let’s not talk about the long-term development direction, but let’s talk about the current goal. Who will I sell the cotton I produce to?
I don’t even have channels to contact the world’s three top industrial countries, Britain, France, and Russia!
Once the cotton cannot be sold, I will go bankrupt. This is 100% destined!" Zhu Wenchong smiled bitterly.
Su Yanqing faced Zhu Wencong: "Selling cotton? Isn't the market in the United States enough?
Didn’t you say that the United States will soon enter the industrial age, and then the consumption of cotton will definitely skyrocket."
"Time waits for me! How much time do I have? Can I afford to wait?
Now we not only have to monopolize the American cotton market, but also enter the Western market. If anything goes wrong at any point, I will go bankrupt!
To put it simply, I have no time and no way back, so I can only go straight forward on this road.
Either you stand on the top of the world, or you fall to the bottom and can't afford it." Zhu Wencong leaned on the sofa.
Su Yanting could suddenly feel Zhu Wencong's tiredness. No wonder he had been so busy that he didn't even have time to breathe.
The cotton market in California or the federal government cannot be taken over before the end of the war. Zhu Wenchong failed completely in this huge gamble.
Once the 100% successful persona is broken, it will be extremely difficult for Zhu Wencong to rise again.
After all, others believe in Zhu Wencong, mainly because he has never failed, so it is safe to leave the money to him for investment!
"I didn't know why you were so mature and stable before, but now I have found the answer.
Sure enough, pressure can make people transform quickly. I really didn’t expect you to bear so much...
However, can you really marry that Western princess? They should be married in the same way as us.
We are neither aristocrats nor white people, this... is impossible!" Su Yanqing was very worried.
"We in the East pay attention to well-matched families, but the West does not pay this much attention, and the children of Western royal families are very cheap.
Although various royal families in the West have a certain degree of kinship, there is an isolation between countries and religions.
Their boys' marriages are very particular, but their girls' marriages are not very particular. They favor boys over girls, just like the East and the West!
Without me as a variable, Louise would have just married an old and ugly nobleman casually." Zhu Wenchong closed his eyes.
Historically, Louis selected one of the high-ranking nobles, and with the help of the Queen's relationship, he directly became the Governor-General of Canada (the head of the country).
There is no way that that useless loser can be compared with Zhu Wencong. After all, Western aristocrats are either mentally disabled or physically disabled.
This is no joke. In the West, due to the lack of ethical standards, incestuous marriages are very scary, resulting in many genetic diseases in their children and grandchildren.
Queen Victoria's daughter, Louise was really the only one who was in good health and lived to be 91 years old.
"Do you want to continue using interest binding?
But will their royal family be short of money? England is the most powerful country in the world, and they almost own the entire world.
You can have whatever you want. The real lord of the world, the queen, has subjects all over the world.
If you don't rely on interests, I can't think of any way to make friends with them and gain their trust." Su Yanqing felt overwhelmed.
Zhu Wencong leaned on Su Yanqing's fragrant shoulder, sometimes feeling like he was daydreaming.
"You are thinking from the East! The situation in the West is very special. The royal family, the country, and the religion stand on three pillars!
Since the king of France was pushed to the guillotine by the people, the influence of the Western royal family has gradually weakened.
Except for the imperial countries, the royal power of all Western kingdoms is caged by law.
Queen Victoria's personal abilities were particularly strong, so she was able to fight against Parliament and gain a certain amount of power.
She is nominally the master of this kingdom, but in fact it is an official in England who exercises the power of the master.
In addition to its own industrial income, the royal family also needs state subsidies to maintain a country's royal reputation." Zhu Wencong answered.
"Whether it is the East or the West, if the emperor wants to spend money, he must first ask the civil servants.
So the emperor is very keen on eunuchs to build internal treasury. To put it bluntly, the emperor who is rich all over the world is also a poor man!" Zhu Wencong complained.
Su Yanting was very shocked, thinking that she really didn't know this knowledge, only Zhu Wencong, a descendant of Zhu Ming, knew it.
Everyone said that the emperor was rich, but in fact the emperor had no money, and if he made money casually, he would be reprimanded by the civil servants.
"So are you ready to marry a Western princess?" Su Yanqing smiled.
"I'm not fully prepared yet!
I feel like I need to learn from the king of San Francisco. He can be king. I think it’s normal for me to be emperor in America!
