"Electric car?" Zhang Peilun was really confused now. He had some idea about electricity, because at this time, the electric lights and telegrams had been introduced to China, but he could not understand how the electricity drives the vehicle. But just like Zhao Weizhong, the skills of this group of overseas Chinese are not inferior to those of foreigners, and they are in their own way, and they are not the same as those of foreigners. It seems that it is not unreasonable, so Zhang Peilun did not ask more questions.

Tianjin Pier is not far from Lishunde Hotel. Although the speed of the three electric vehicles is not fast, it only took more than ten minutes to arrive at Lishunde Hotel.

However, it was very far away. Zhang Peilun could see through the front window of the car that there were many people standing at the entrance of the Lishunde Hotel. The lights were decorated with colorful colors and music. It was obviously a careful arrangement. Zhang Peilun was a little surprised. Although overseas Chinese sent a second-person figure to the dock to greet him, the whole process was not complicated, but it was so grand at the entrance of the Lishunde Hotel. This may be the etiquette habit of this group of overseas Chinese. Although Zhang Peilun doesn't care much about these false names now, it is always happy to be received by the grand reception.

Qin Zheng turned his head in the car and looked at the layout of the Lishunde Hotel, but just smiled and didn't say anything.

In fact, this was not an arrangement of the temporary executive committee, but was created by Lishunde Hotel itself. It turned out that Yang Yuxin, who had just been appointed as the general manager of Lishunde Hotel, considered that this was the first time that the time traveler took over the hotel, and naturally could not be treated ordinary; and it was also the first historical celebrity to be received. Zhang Peilun was also a famous person in this era. Although it is not certain whether there would be Zhang Ailing in this time and space, only Li Hongzhang's son-in-law's identity, Zhang Peilun's historical status would not be too bad. It was just possible to use this time to expand the influence of Lishunde Hotel in Tianjin and shape the soft power image of the time traveler. Moreover, the staff on the Qingshan Island passenger boat have been arranged to serve in Lishunde Hotel, so Yang Yuxin also has enough staff.

Yang Yuxin has also worked in the catering industry for more than ten years and has a lot of experience in organizing such activities. The three passenger boats also have corresponding items such as ribbons, balloons, fireworks, dresses, etc., so the gate of Lishunde Hotel was immediately laid out. At the same time, sixteen beautiful women were selected from the staff, put on concierge clothes, and served as etiquette sisters at the door.

After Qin Zheng and Zhang Peilun got out of the car, they saw Xie Yuxin, who was wearing suits and laces and even his hair was covered in smooth and smooth steps, and first said to him: "Political Commissar Qin, you are here."

Qin Zheng laughed and introduced Zhang Peilun to him, saying, "This is Mr. Zhang Peilun, but our distinguished guest, you must treat him well."

Yang Yuxin said to Zhang Peilun again: "Mr. Zhang, welcome to stay at Lishunde Hotel."

At this time, the overseas Chinese bought the Lishunde Hotel from De Cuilin and had already been spread to Shanghai. Zhang Peilun naturally knew that this person was also one of the overseas Chinese, so he did not dare to neglect it and said hurriedly: "Pelun has disturbed this time."

Yang Yuxin said: "Mr. Zhang's room is ready, please come in." After that, he led the way in front, Qin Zheng and Zhang Peilun followed behind, and Zhang Peilun's servants were holding their luggage and following at the end. When he walked into the hotel gate, the etiquette sisters from both sides bowed together and said in unison: "Welcome to come."

Zhang Peilun also looked around and saw that these women were wearing a bun tied up and wearing a very strange long skirt. The colors were very bright. The long skirt in the bottom was dragged to the ground, completely covering their legs. However, the top was sleeveless, exposed the pink arms, and closely attached to the woman's body, outlining the undulating lines. There was also a slit that was not a ribbon, and the slit that was not a slim thing. From the same welcome, it was a standard official language, the sound of the orioles and the sing of the swallows made Zhang Peilun feel moved, as if he remembered the fact that when he was a censor in Beijing, he criticized the current ills and inspired the country in the court, but in private, he was a romantic life leaning against red and green.

After entering the hotel, Zhang Peilun calmed down and watched left and right. It was not much different from before. Zhang Peilun had been to Lishunde Hotel several times before. Now it seems that things are wrong, and he is quite emotional.

In the lobby of Lishunde Hotel, Yang Yuxin said: "Political Commissar Qin, the banquet has been prepared. You see when the banquet can be started."

Qin Zheng looked at his watch. It was already four and a half years later. He said, "Let Mr. Youqiao rest for a while first, and the six-clock seat will start on time." He turned to Zhang Peilun and said, "Mr. Youqiao thinks what."

Zhang Peilun said: "Everything is the only one who can be said to be."

Qin Zheng turned his head and said, "That's it. Mr. Youqiao will go and rest for a while, and we will see you at the banquet later." He turned to Zhao Weizhong and said, "I'll invite Mr. Zhao to attend together after a while."

Although Zhao Weizhong is now anxious to rush back to arrange for people to pick up goods at Dagukou, otherwise he would have to pay an extra rent for one day, which would be impossible to bear the loss. However, attending a banquet that welcomed Zhang Peilun is more important. If you have a good relationship with overseas Chinese, it will be of great benefit to your future business. And now there is still one left at the table, which is enough to rush back to you. Of course, Zhao Weizhong cannot go home and arrange his own business, but to go back to change clothes to show his importance. He will definitely come before the banquet begins.

So Qin Zheng, Zhao Weizhong and Zhang Peilun said goodbye, Zhao Weizhong rushed back to his home, while Qin Zheng had another room to rest in the Lishunde Hotel. After they all left, Yang Yuxin said to Zhang Peilun: "Mr. Zhang, please come with me."

Zhang Peilun said: "It's hard."

Although Zhang Peilun did not have an official position, he represented Li Hongzhang after all, and was even a foreigner. Therefore, the time traveler still received him with relatively high standards and arranged for him to stay in the most luxurious room in the Lishunde Hotel, which is equivalent to a presidential suite. However, in this era, the name of the presidential suite was not yet known.

Yang Yuxin took Zhang Peilun and his group to the door of the house, handed the key of the doorman to Zhang Peilun, and said, "Mr. Zhang, I won't disturb you from rest. I will pick you up fifteen minutes before the banquet."

Zhang Peilun expressed his gratitude to Yang Yuxin again, and then Yang Yuxin turned around and left. Zhang Peilun brought his group into the room and immediately started to organize the room. Zhang Peilun sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest, while also thinking about the passing along the way.

So far, overseas Chinese have received Zhang Peilun much higher than he expected, which is of course a good start. Ming Dynasty, this group of overseas Chinese may have some respect for Li Hongzhang behind him, and are indeed willing to negotiate with foreigners.

However, Zhang Peilun is not the boss of the past, and of course he would not be blinded by these false gifts and thought that everything would be fine. After all, judging from the actions of overseas Chinese, he basically did not have any respect for the Qing Dynasty, so he could not be respected by Li Hongzhang there. They may be willing to negotiate with foreigners, but under what conditions they are willing to negotiate with foreigners, it is unknown. It is one thing to be willing to talk about, but whether they can talk about Long is another thing.

This time Zhang Peilun visited Tianjin, the main purpose was two. One was to establish a direct connection with overseas Chinese, and the other was to understand the negotiation basis of overseas Chinese to judge the success rate of negotiations between the two sides. When the latter was also the purpose of consulars from various countries in Shanghai, it was possible for countries to determine whether to decide to negotiate with overseas Chinese.

Although Zhang Peilun didn't know the negotiation conditions of foreigners, Li Hongzhang had a general judgment on the negotiation conditions of foreigners for a long time when dealing with foreigners, and was probably 60% sure. However, Li Hongzhang knew almost nothing about the behavior of overseas Chinese, so he had no way to judge. What he was most worried about was that the asking price of this group of overseas Chinese was too high, and both sides could not negotiate with him.

Although Zhang Peilun is not an official, he also knows that if overseas Chinese and foreigners cannot talk about each other and the war starts again, the biggest victim will be the Qing Dynasty. But now neither side is Li Hongzhang, and Zhang Peilun can control it. Therefore, it is urgent to understand the attitudes of overseas Chinese as soon as possible before considering the next step.

Just when Zhang Peilun was thinking, he heard the sound of the door coming, and a man came to Zhang Peilun and told him: "Master, Manager Yang is here, please go to the banquet."

Zhang Peilun hurriedly got up, greeted him, and said, "Manager Yang, I hope you can go there yourself and just call someone to inform me."

Yang Yuxin laughed and said, "How can that be? Mr. Zhang is our VIP guest. Time is coming soon. Let's set off now."

Zhang Peilun turned his head and immediately changed into a brand new outer robe. Then, he left the room with Yang Yuxin and came to the restaurant with his followers.

At this time, Qin Zheng and Zhao Weizhong had arrived and were waiting for Zhang Peilun in the restaurant. Everyone met, and were polite to each other, and then they entered the seat one by one.

In fact, the scale of the banquet is not large, with only four seats in total, and each seat has only four to six seats. As the chairman, there are only two seats, namely Qin Zheng and Zhang Peilun, they are also sealed with screens to form an independent private space.
