The journey starts from the Titanic

On the other hand, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang financial groups at the same time were also gradually prospering, but unfortunately they finally made wedding dresses for the four major families.But the North China Consortium is happily enjoying the last wonderful time under the rule of the Beiyang government.

Well, history has quietly divided a few forks here, is it a coincidence or a premeditated one?

The later research experts didn't know, and only remembered the four words Meihua Wuchan.…

The vice president of Meihua Products is Situ Meideng, and this status has put him in the coat of a businessman.

Although he is not good at managing specific affairs, as a business representative of Meihua Products, his contacts have become wider and wider, and his influence has become greater and greater, gradually washing away the color of his body.

Well, for a relatively long period of time, Zhi Gong Dang members have been engaged in revolutionary activities as merchants.

In addition to Chinese capitalists, some talents that could be used by the Zhi Gong Party also fell into Situ Meiden's eyes.

On this day, Situ Meideng walked into the home of Wu Tingfang, the foreign minister of the Guangzhou military government, and Situ Nan followed.

The Guangzhou military government was created by Sun Wen and the Southwest warlords to bargain with the Beiyang government. In fact, it was not recognized by foreign countries and its status was a bit embarrassing.

After Sun Wen left Guangzhou, Wu Tingfang stayed, but he had no power.When Situ Nan came to Wu's house, the door was a little deserted.

Wu Tingfang was a little surprised at Situ Meideng's visit, "Brother Situ, what brought you here today? I heard you are busy doing business recently?"

Wu Tingfang smiled.He is a round older than Situ Meideng, and calling Situ Meideng the little brother is not a big deal.

"Oh, I'm doing business, so I just ran errands. Brother Wu, you haven't seen you for so many years, you are still so tough!" Situ Meideng greeted respectfully.

In the hearts of overseas Chinese, Mr. Wu Tingfang is more prestigious than Sun Wen.This 70-year-old man was a famous jurist and diplomat in the late Qing Dynasty. As Li Hongzhang's staff, he participated in the Sino-French negotiations and Shimonoseki negotiations, and witnessed the tragic years of weak countries without diplomacy in the late Qing Dynasty.

Wu Tingfang later served as the Minister of the United States, Spain, Peru and other countries, always defending national interests and protecting overseas Chinese.The most interesting thing is that he was the first and only diplomat of the Qing Dynasty who dared to say that he wanted to use gunboats to talk to foreign countries!

Therefore, Situ Nan had always wanted to see Wu Tingfang. At this time, he was following Situ Meideng to look at Wu Tingfang.

Time is not forgiving, leaving traces on the 74-year-old man, with gray hair and wrinkles, which is painful.

However, the old man wore a melon hat, black silk jacket and a little smile on his face, which made Situ Nan find it interesting.

He originally hated this kind of Manchu style dress, but at this time he thought Wu Tingfang was a little cute.

"This little brother is a bit silly? Haven't asked for advice yet?" Wu Tingfang said.Seeing that Situ Nan has some characteristics, he asked.

Situ Nan stepped forward and said respectfully: "My name is Situ Nan. It is an honor to meet Mr. Wu with my uncle today! A little care is not a respect!"

Situ Nan handed the first box ready.

When Wu Tingfang opened it, it was a book with a slightly yellowed cover, and it was some years old.This is a copy of the "Napoleonic Civil Code" that Situ Nan bought from the French antique market.Although it is not the original version, it also has a very high collection value.

Wu Tingfang picked it up and flipped through it, and put it down with some love, and sighed: "It's too expensive, the old man can't afford it!"

Said to return to Situ Nan.

Situ Nan naturally declined."Old Wu, I know that you are an expert in law. I accidentally got this book from Paris, France. For me, it's useless. Just accept it! It's also a little bit of the younger generation."

"Yeah! Brother Wu, just accept it! This is nothing to Anan. If you feel bad, just give him a bottle. He likes that thing better."

Situ Meideng laughed.

"Okay!" Wu Tingfang had to accept it, and his impression of Situ Nan got better.

He secretly looked at Situ Nan. The mixed-race characteristics of Situ Nan seemed nothing to Wu Tingfang, but the unique temperament of Situ Nan impressed Wu Tingfang.

This young man is not easy!Situ Meideng seemed to be faintly centered on Situ Nan, but it was not like half of their uncle-nephew relationship.

Wu Tingfang said in his heart.He has met many people throughout his life, including politicians from various countries, Li Hongzhang, Cixi, Yuan Shikai, Sun Wen and so on. He has naturally rich experience and has his own set of talents.For example, he felt that Sun Wen had a future, so he always followed Sun Wen.

Of course, the following of big people like Wu Tingfang is naturally not the kind of following as a little brother, but more like-minded.

However, according to Situ Nan's conjecture, it is better to say that Wu Tingfang followed Sun Wen as the lawyer and jurist followed the ideal of democracy and freedom propagated by the Kuomintang.

The eyes are clear and calm, confident, shrewd and firm.Looks like a stroll in the garden, there is beautiful scenery inside!Wu Tingfang secretly commented on Situ Nan.

Where did such a talent suddenly come from?Why never heard of it?And this Situ Meitang, I haven't seen him for many years, and now he is no longer like a gangster in the past, but rather like a big man!

This pair of uncles and nephews are really not easy!Wu Tingfang was surprised, and under the cover of his kind smile, his mind turned a few times.

At the same time, Situ Nan also had his own calculations in his heart.He came here today for two purposes, one is to be curious about historical figures, and the other is for Wu Chaoshu, the son of Wu Tingfang.

"I don't know, what is the so-called Situ Laozi?" Wu Tingfang asked directly.

"Nothing big! But there are some things I want to ask you, Brother Wu." Situ Mei Deng smiled.

"Oh?" Wu Tingfang raised his gray eyebrows, his previously vague eyes lit up, and he swept over Uncle Situ and waited for the next step.

"Brother Wu, in fact, we also want to revolution." Situ Meiden said.

"Ah? You need to be cautious about this, and your relationship with Mr. Sun..." Wu Tingfang hesitated, looking at Situ Meiden with some worry.

His first reaction was, are the people in Anliangtang dissatisfied, seeing that the Kuomintang is now separated and wanting to return to China to grab leadership?At this point, Wu Tingfang is not optimistic about Situ Meiden.

He vaguely knew that in recent years, it seems that the conditions of overseas Chinese have been better, and the wealthy businessmen in Nanyang have also increased a lot.

Didn't Stuart Meiden have made money and wanted to imitate the revolutionary party to buy guns and pull people back to start the revolution?

Thinking of this, Wu Tingfang frowned and looked at Situ Meiden with some caution.

Chapter 91

"Brother Situ, it's been so many years, let the grievances of the past pass! Now the warriors in the north are the country, the south is fighting each other, the revolution is at a low ebb, and the future is worrying?"

Wu Tingfang sighed.

Wu Tingfang went abroad in his early years and has a deep understanding of the overseas situation. However, after the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, the constitutionalists, revolutionaries, central government, local princes, etc. also fell into endless struggles.

There are too few organizations or individuals who really want to contribute to the country and can contribute to the country. With foreign powers behind the scenes, it is not easy to do something right.

As an old friend, he did not want Stuart Meiden to be involved in the domestic turmoil, and at the same time, he was worried that there would be a fight with the Chinese in North America who had a grudge against the Revolutionary Party.

Situ Nan had been paying attention to Wu Tingfang's expression, and listening to his tone, he obviously had no confidence in his uncle and nephew, and there was a hint of guard in his persuasive tone.

Situ Nan felt a little unhappy.Xindao: This old gentleman, it is estimated that all his energy in the past few years has been spent on domestic intrigue, and he doesn't know much about the development situation of overseas Chinese.

However, he is still patient. On this occasion, Situ Meiden should be asked to explain.

Situ Meideng felt a little uncomfortable, and said stiffly: "Blame me for not saying it clearly, Brother Wu, you are worrying too much. I never thought about fighting with Sun Wen and the others.

Although I have had an unpleasant experience, it has passed.I know that you have a good relationship with them, but I ask you to keep it secret today, because what I will say next is actually nothing to do with Sun Wen and the KMT."

"Oh? You say!" Wu Tingfang was a little confused, his face was a little relaxed, but looking at Situ Meiden's serious expression, he thought of Situ Meiden's blunt tone, and he felt that he was a little allergic and a little bit of a villain. Save the belly of a gentleman.

"That's it." Situ Meideng pursed his lips, organizing vocabulary and said, "This revolution is not in China, but abroad, it is actually in Mr. Wu's hometown!"
