    After listening to Gillings's story, Chen Zaixing didn't say anything for a long time. He just looked at Gillings thoughtfully. After a while, Chen Zaixing suddenly asked: "As far as I know, Mr. Gillings, are you an expert in biology?"  Quite an achievement. I also heard you say that this is a tradition in your family, right? " "Yes!" "Mr. Gillings, Mr. Bunge, since you want to cooperate with me, then I hope that we can cooperate with you.  They can face each other with a candid attitude, which is the basis for cooperation." At this point, Chen Zaixing paused and looked at Gillins and O'Neil opposite.  Bangji also nodded, indicating that they agreed with Chen Zaixing.  "So, Mr. Gillings, is the origin of these rubber seedlings related to you?" Chen Zaixing suddenly asked.  The room suddenly fell silent, the smile that had always been there from the moment he entered the room disappeared from Gillings' face, and O'Neil stood beside him.  Bunge hesitated for a while, nodded and replied: "Yes, Mr. Chen, your intuition is very keen. It was Mr. Gillings who sold me more than 100 kilograms of glue seeds, 1,500 pounds  Hundreds of bud grafting piles and more than 200 meters of bud strips, it was he who recommended you as a partner for cooperation! "It's really unimaginable, Gillings, that you betrayed your motherland like this?" Chen Zaixing's face showed.  A look of disbelief.  "Dear old friend, I am an Englishman, but I am also a businessman. For a businessman, he only has one motherland, and that is profit. The place that can bring him profits is his motherland." At this point  , Gillings pointed at O'Neil.  Bunge: ¡°Look at this venerable citizen, his great-grandfather was a venerable citizen of the United Provinces, and his grandfather became a Belgian citizen, and his uncle and father became Argentinian citizens.  He is a dual citizen of the United Kingdom. As for him, I believe he doesn't even mind being a Burmese as long as he can make huge profits. Besides, you have also become a citizen of the Kingdom of Burma from a citizen of the Central Empire.  In a sense, the three of us are all such people, bravely moving forward along the path God has arranged for us, and no fetters can stop our steps! " "I am different from you, although I married Luo Lin as my wife!  My own wife, but I am still a smooth person!" Chen Zaixing frowned and asked in a low voice: "Okay, I am personally very interested in your cooperation proposal, but I can't do it now.  Reply. Well, if Mr. O'Neil is willing, I will invite him to have a pleasant trip to Mandalay in the name of the Burmese royal family!" "It's my honor!  Bangji nodded reservedly.  "Very good, this is a very constructive meeting!" Gillings clapped his palms and shouted outside: "John!" The stocky Burmese man just now ran over and bowed to Gillings.  Bowed: "I'm here, Master, what can I do for you?" "You go to the carriage outside immediately and get my bottle of the best sherry!" Gillings rubbed his hands and said to Chen Zaixing and Ou Nei  you.  Bunji blinked: "Let's have fun! Chen, my old friend! You don't have to keep a straight face. I already have the best steamboat waiting for you at the dock. I will never delay  You saw your beautiful wife!" Chen Zaixing frowned and reached out to take the glass. The refrigerated sherry passed through the wall of the glass, and his palm was cold.  Gillings and O'Neil opposite.  Bunji smiled and talked in a language he was not familiar with. Gillins laughed again and again, as if he was particularly happy about something. Regarding the cooperation just proposed by Gillins, Chen Zaixing did not feel much joy in his heart. He knew very well that the huge  Behind profits, there are always huge risks hidden.  If the rubber trade has such huge profits, then the British will never be less determined to fight to maintain their dominant position. And with their current meager strength, is it wise to get involved in such a sensitive transaction?  "Chen, come and drink to our cooperation and our bright future!" Gillings had finished with O'Neil at this time.  Bangji's conversation, he turned around and raised his glass to Chen Zaixing, O'Neil.  Bunge also smiled and raised his glass, repeating in English with a lowland accent: "Cheers to our cooperation!" "Cheers!" Chen Zaixing sipped the glass, and the refrigerated sherry liquid flowed into his mouth, refreshing.  The smell made his frown relax.  "I didn't expect this devil's wine to taste quite good!" Chen Zaixing couldn't help but thought to himself.  "Not bad, Chen! This is one of the best collections in my family's wine cellar!" Chen Zaixing smiled triumphantly: "If you like it, I will give you a bottle as a souvenir of our successful cooperation!"  "Thank you very much. Give me another glass!" Chen Zaixing drank the remaining wine in the glass and handed the empty glass to her.He went over and asked: "Gillings, did another major incident happen while I was on the ship? I just got off the ship and I don't know anything!" "You mean that what happened between your country and Japan because of the Ryukyu Incident?  A conflict?" Gillings smiled slightly: "As far as I know, the Japanese envoys have arrived in Shanghai two days ago, and the two sides have probably started negotiations on the incident." "What? How is this possible?" Chen Zaixing was surprised.  Eyes wide open: "Ryukyu is under the actual control of the Japanese. If we negotiate under such circumstances, the result will only be beneficial to the Japanese. How could the court agree to the negotiation!" "I don't know the specific details, but the current situation  Obviously, the Japanese have achieved their goals and have no intention of fighting again, and your country is unable to recapture Ryukyu. It will not be beneficial to both countries to continue to delay. Isn't the peace negotiation a normal decision? "Speaking of this, Jilin?  While filling his glass, Si sighed: "It's a pity that the stupid naval captain actually let the fleet directly get involved in the conflict. This is really stupid. Originally, the British Empire could act as a neutral party to arbitrate, as soon as possible  To restore peace in East Asia!" "Cunning islanders!" Chen Zaixing cursed in his heart. Just as he was thinking of what to say, O'Neil came to his ears.  Bungie's English voice: "Peace? There is no peace where you British are! I bet that the only result of letting you participate in arbitration will only lay the fuse for the next war!" Hearing this, he expressed his feelings from the beginning.  The tall, silent white man's words suddenly became so sharp that Chen Zaixing couldn't help but look at him in surprise.  "Okay! Okay! My friend, I admit that maybe what you say makes sense. But the real reason for the conflict between the two countries is the greed and stupidity of mankind since ancient times! After all, it is not us British who use leather whips.  As far as I know, countless wars had broken out thousands of years before the British came to this land. Is this also the responsibility of the British? " "Jilin?  Please don't confuse the facts anymore, as far as I know, there was a 'Pax Romana' for most of the history of this happy land." O'Neil.  Bunge sneered and retorted: "Don't tell me that the 10 million pounds of Japanese national debt guaranteed by the Bank of England that was issued in the London market not long ago was because of the sincere friendship between the people of Great Britain and Japan. The people of Great Britain are doing what they have done in this country for hundreds of years.  Like other places in the world, they are playing a dangerous game. The Japanese may have expansion ambitions, but they are not fools. Without the support of you British people behind the scenes, how could a small country like Japan dare to fight for a small country like Ryukyu?  "Is Shima rashly provoking such a giant as Dashun?" The room fell into an awkward silence, Gillins's face turned pale, and his lips trembled slightly, and O'Neil.  Bunji looked at him nonchalantly.  After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Zaixing decided to speak out for Gillings. He picked up the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Gilings, the bottle is empty, but I haven't had enough!" "Of course!  And!" An awkward smile appeared on Gillings' face as he woke up from a dream. While pouring wine for Chen Zaixing, he said in a low voice in Chinese: "Chen, please believe me, although this O'Neil is Bunge.  An excellent businessman, but before that, he had done a lot of ridiculous things and had a lot of strange ideas when he was young, so you'd better choose what he says with caution."  "Absurd behavior? Strange thoughts?" Chen Zaixing turned his head and glanced at the tall white man curiously, and said with a smile: "Really? Mr. Gillings, why do I think that this young Mr. Bunji, besides being extremely tall,  Nothing else is surprising." A thin layer of sweat appeared on Gillings's forehead: "Dear Chen, please believe me, this Mr. O'Neil participated in one when he was studying in London.  Ridiculous organization, so¡ª" At this point, Gillings stopped speaking, with a hesitant expression on his face.  Chen Zaixing was also intrigued by Gillings' appearance and asked: "Absurd organization? What kind of absurd organization?" "Chen, I don't know how to translate the name of this organization into Chinese, but it is said that this organization  The main purpose is to eliminate all private property and establish a world where all distinctions are eliminated! "This is very interesting," Chen Zaixing said, "As far as I know, Mr. O'Neil.  He should be very rich, right? " "Yes, his father only has one son, so he will get almost all of his father's inheritance, even if you don't take into account the real estate and manor owned by Mr. Bunge, only the Bunge he owns.  The value of the company's shares, Mr. O'Neil Bunge's property will be no less than one million pounds!" At this point, Ji.Si's face couldn't help but reveal a look of envy.  Today¡¯s second update, thank you Zhongshu Ling for the reward.  In addition, please ask for rewards, collections, and recommendation votes!  Book lovers can check their user level.
