Chapter 217: You can make the guy kneel on the ground and call him daddy!
The topic of the consulate that the two talked about also attracted Lin Guoyang's attention.
At this moment, Xu Zhenhua had sobered up and his mind was extremely clear.
"Old man, as the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle. I originally didn't understand the Consul General's intentions, but now it's very clear!
First, yesterday, the old man called to file a complaint. Judging from the Chief Inspector's response, the consulate was quite efficient. It even gave us the illusion that the Concession valued the former Lin family councilor. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case...
The flaw is that the old man was turned away today, and the French Concession even expressed a very tough attitude. With such a huge contrast, it's easy to guess what the consul general is thinking. He needs a stable French Concession...
I guess he’s in a bad situation!”
Lin Guoyang's eyes lit up at that moment. His son-in-law's sense of smell was simply too sensitive. He nodded immediately.
"Yes, I can't remember exactly, but it seems that the mid-term evaluation of the Consul General of the French Concession is about to begin..."
After a brief narration, Xu Zhenhua further confirmed the guess. The colonial system of the United States was not complicated, but the Far East Leased Territory was a bizarre structure. The person who controlled the military and political power of the leased territory was nominally called a diplomat.
In fact, it is easier to understand if the name is changed to "Jiedushi Resident in Shanghai". The West prefers to call him Governor-General, but the Manchus would never agree to this name at the time. The land can be ceded, but the face must be saved. It is simply ridiculous.
The Consul General's mid-term evaluation is of vital importance to him, as it involves the issue of whether to stay or go. Of course, he must have considerable power and will definitely be able to deal with the evaluation team, but at least the concession must remain stable on the surface, which can be considered a face-saving project.
At this time, Xu Zhenhua became more confident. He immediately slapped his thigh happily and began to talk about his plan.
"Haha! The Consul General can handle this, it won't take much effort...
So the first thing we have to do is to bring down the French guy's head...
Hold him up high with a board and don't let him drop it, scare him to death..."
Not long after, Lin Guoyang stood up suddenly, his expression no longer calm, and he asked anxiously.
"What? Zhenhua, what are you talking about? You're deceiving the fishermen and farmers? You'd never sell malaria drugs to a foreign country?"
"Yes! Malaria medicine is just like bacon hanging on the beams. There is no need to really take it down. As long as the fishermen have jammers, it will be enough!
Besides, we have enough time to delay. Shipping from Ouzhou to Shanghai will take at least two months, plus the time it takes for negotiations..."
Xu Zhenhua's answer was straightforward. He said that until the flower farming industry had sufficient strength to protect itself, they must not produce a specific anti-malarial drug, especially artemisinin, because only raw materials near the temporary capital were effective. If the foreigners knew about this, it was very likely that concessions would appear in the inland areas...
As soon as he finished speaking, beads of sweat instantly broke out on Lin Guoyang's forehead. He originally thought that his son-in-law had made so many plans and targeted the Consul General just to use malaria drugs to get him through. However, his son-in-law did not have such an intention. He could not help but get anxious.
Seeing his father-in-law's distraught look, Xu Zhenhua no longer wanted to keep him in suspense and immediately added.
"Don't worry, I have something that, once I show it, can make the guy kneel down and call me daddy!"
"what?"
Lin Guoyang and his son were immediately intrigued and kept asking questions. But when Xu Zhenhua uttered a string of unfamiliar words, they were completely bewildered. "Zhenhua, what are you talking about? What industrial structure? What industrial capacity replacement? I don't understand anything at all! Wait, I understand one sentence: the Ten Commandments of the Security Bureau..."
Soon, the two curious kids surrounded Xu Zhenhua, one on each side, each determined to get to the bottom of the matter. Xu Zhenhua couldn't lose his temper; he was truly annoyed. "You wouldn't understand even if I told you!" Sigh! Let's shift the blame elsewhere!
"I say, can you two focus on the fishermen and farmers? Alas! That kid is still in the dark."
As soon as the words fell, the father and son, who had already known about the puppet plan, were overjoyed. Yes! That kid was indeed miserable, fooled around by Zhenhua's illusory five billion yuan. Worst of all, whenever Lin Chaohui needed anything, he had to run around for a long time...
