******************
The so-called "prince" in South America came quite quickly. Xiao Feng asked Xiaolin to inform him the next day, the man came to Bincheng.
That afternoon, Xiao Feng met His Highness the Prince in his office.
This prince has a medium figure, but is very strong, and his body shape is indeed different from that of Chinese people.
When looking at her appearance, she is not Chinese, and her skin is neither white nor yellow. Anyway, she looks like a mixed race, and she is also a kind of person with a lot of blood.
But it is true that dark hair and dark eyes are not as deep as pure Europeans, and some Chinese bloodlines can still be seen.
"Hello, I'm Xiao Feng."
"Hello, hello, my name is Chen Yonglu, my English name is Tony."
Xiao Feng didn't expect that this man was so good in Mandarin. He was really surprised. The man looked at him in surprise and laughed.
"I have been in China for several years!"
This kid is really clever. Just by looking at Xiao Feng's expression, you can know what Xiao Feng is thinking. Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a little affection for this young man.
"Haha, okay, is it a university in China?"
"Yes! I studied at XXX University."
"Oh, that's fine, by the way, what do you drink? Tea, coffee, or..."
Xiao Feng showed the wine cabinet to the young man. The young man was quite good at it and ordered a glass of gin.
"By the way, what job did you do before?"
"Hi! It's just about doing some import and export trade, contacting the supply of goods from the mainland, and then buying it back to your hometown."
"Where can I introduce your hometown to me? To be honest, this is the first time I heard about it when Kobayashi talked to me yesterday!"
"Haha, indeed, few people in my hometown have heard of it. Okay, let me introduce it to you, Mr. Xiao."
Speaking of hometown, Chen Yonglu started talking.
It turns out that this matter has to start more than a hundred years ago. At the end of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in order to avoid the Qing army's pursuit, the Taiping Army boarded a ship to the South American continent in Xiangjiang.
When I boarded the ship, I signed a contract with others. I was called a contract miner back then, but now I just sell piglets.
In this way, more than 10,000 Taiping Army and their families went to the South American continent. The area they arrived was called Ikak, which was not a good place.
It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean in the east and the desert in the west. It turns out to be a territory belonging to Peru.
After arriving in the local area, these contract miners began to be exploited. They were very hard to be exploited at the beginning, but these people who were rebellious in China naturally did not want to continue to be exploited like this.
Before, I could fill my stomach, but later I couldn't even eat enough, so I naturally had to resist.
So the second uprising in the South American continent was a coincidence, and it happened to catch up with the war between the Copper Kingdom and Peru and Bolivia for the origin of saltpeter.
So these miners launched an uprising and went to the mine location more often. The area where they were originally located belonged to Peru, so Peru naturally sent troops to attack.
As a result, the native army in Peru was very powerful and was defeated several times by these experienced Taiping Army, and even several generals were killed.
At this time, when Tongguo saw that the group of people was quite strong, he felt compassion, as if they were on an olive branch.
If they join the Tong Kingdom, the war will end, and the Tong Kingdom will all allocate this mining area, the desert and overseas islands it belongs to as autonomous regions.
So the group joined the army of the Copper Kingdom and launched a war against Peru and Bolivia with the Copper Kingdom.
In fact, the people of Tong Guo didn't have any kind intentions at the beginning and did not equip them with too many bullets.
But this group of Taiping Army relied on this war experience to build Taiping Island, using pennant flags as a banner, wearing brown clothes, and defeating Peruvian troops many times.
He helped the Tong Kingdom army conquer cities and land, defeated the Peruvian army many times, and stood at the vanguard in this war.
General Pizzo, who commanded the war, admired them very much. Not only did he provide them with more material treatment, but he also greatly improved their rewards.
This made the group of people more brave in fighting and soon won the reputation of the Brown-clothed Army.
Finally, with their help, the Tong Kingdom won the saltpeter war between the Three Kingdoms and completely controlled the control of the saltpeter mining area.
The people of Tong Kingdom did not forget their roots. They always remembered the contributions of these Chinese people in this war.
They kept their promise and divided the Taiping Army, the Ikak City that it seized, and all the surrounding mining areas, plus the external islands, to these Taiping Army remnants, making this place an Isaac Autonomous Region.
The leaders of these Taiping Army were also very sensible, allowing the people to abide by the laws of the Copper Kingdom, and intermarry with local people in a large manner, striving to integrate into the local society as soon as possible.
They are also the most successful overseas Chinese. Now their Isaac District is still a very influential area of the Tong Kingdom.
The permanent population of this region is more than 200,000,000, and others who do not have Chinese ancestry but also have in-laws, and there are hundreds of thousands.
And Chen Yonglu was one of the descendants of several Taiping Army leaders back then.
After hearing Chen Yonglu's explanation, Xiao Feng finally understood why this guy was called "Prince".
Originally, he thought that this guy gave him the title of "prince", either a liar or to attract attention and get nicknames.
Now it seems that there is something really wrong with it.
He had heard stories about this before, but he always cared too much. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a Chinese family today.
Xiao Feng was very happy and chatted with Chen Yonglu for a long time, but most of the time he spent learning about the South American continent, the Copper Kingdom, and the situation in the Ithaca area where he was located.
At night, he asked Kobayashi to take the 'prince' downstairs for a meal.
Although this 'prince' has an extraordinary identity, it is not as noble as he asks him to greet him in person, not to mention that he cannot confirm whether what this guy said is true or false.
After seeing Chen Yonglu off, Jesse knocked on the door and walked in.
Xiao Feng looked at her and asked with a smile: "How is it? Have you asked the matter you have investigated clearly?"
"Of course, boss, no, this is the information you want."
Jesse smiled and pushed a piece of information to Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng began to read it. These information were what he asked Jesse to go out to inquire about Chen Yonglu and the situation in the Ishaka area he mentioned.
Although he was determined to cooperate with Chen Yonglu, he really needed to carefully understand Chen Yonglu's situation. It was impossible for him to believe whatever he said.
Although Jesse left Citi, she still had a very close contact with this bank, so it would be very convenient to collect some information about the Ishaka area through this bank.
After all, Citigroup also has a lot of economic exchanges in the Copper Kingdom.
The information given to Citi shows that Chen Yonglu was not talking big.
At least it was true that the Taiping Army had a foothold in the South American continent and established the Ithaca District. Moreover, among the major leaders of the Taiping Army at that time, there was indeed a family surnamed Chen.
Many of the information Chen Yonglu said was accurate, but his description of Ishaka District did not seem as beautiful as he said in Citi's report.
In fact, for a period of time after the Saltpeter War, these descendants of the Taiping Army lived a good life in Ithaca District.
But later, after the end of World War II in the last century, all South American countries fell into a period of turmoil.
Later, the Bronze Kingdom experienced the appearance of an important figure, and then a Japanese president appeared on the stage. During their reign, these two people were not very friendly to the Ithaca region, where there were more Chinese.
In addition, there have been several internal strife between them, and the community gradually becomes a trend of division.
Moreover, in the 1960s and 1970s, due to poverty, some of their families even participated in the vigorous white flour sales activity in South America.
He has a close relationship with several major drug lords in South America. He even used his special status as an autonomous region and many islands to open a lot of banks.
As for what to do when opening a bank, everyone naturally understands it very well.
Although it is not so popular now, there seem to be many families who are still focusing on some shameful industries.
And this Chen Yonglu is indeed a child of one of the families and is also thinking about leading the family to transform.
After reading these information, Xiao Feng basically understood that what Chen Yonglu said to him before was half true and half false.
Their family has been rooted in mainland South America and has been operating for more than a century. If we talk about their strength, it is definitely not bad.
But the only thing I dare not say is probably the family background.
Xiao Feng began to ponder whether it was cost-effective to cooperate with them.
After thinking about it, I didn't make a decision immediately.
It was getting late at this time, so he decided to go for a meal first, and then go to He Fangzhou to take a look tomorrow.
He Xiaojun told himself before that he was studying the snake venom he gave him last time, and it seemed that he had achieved some results.
After coming back this time, I was busy with investment and franchise when I had something to do, and I was busy with opening the Sunburn Burn and Burn Hospital. I really didn’t pay much attention to his laboratory.
I just have time tomorrow, so I can go and have a look.
In addition, after seeing his laboratory, he had to go to the island in the south. Mr. Zhang and his friends agreed to allocate that island to the ninth laboratory, and he had to go and check the site in person.
In addition, Peter also contacted himself several times through Kajia, asking himself how he prepared for seafood treatment. After a while, he would have to go to Russia to take a look.
Next, I naturally need to go to Liu Jin to purchase a batch of weapons and ammunition, and then go to another world to see. I have been back for so long this time, and I don’t know if there is any change there.
