From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 454

At this point, Zhou Yuan's goal was half achieved, and the next step was to launch a general attack.

Zhou Yuan picked up the wine glass and chuckled: "Kolodia, I'm glad to meet you. You are my first Portuguese friend. We need to have a drink to celebrate."

Kolodia shook her head and said: "I don't drink."

Zhou Yuan said: "Madam, Knight Bulwer said that you occasionally drink a little. Why are you not sincere to your friends?"

Kolodia was very upset. She just wanted to know what Zhou Yuan was up to. She just didn't want to be so passive and wanted to save some of the situation.

As Zhou Yuan said, if he really had to frame Kolodia, Kolodia would have almost no ability to resist.

When it comes to interests, rights and beauty, McPherson will definitely take it seriously, even if he knows it is fake.

"It's okay to drink a little."

Kolodiya compromised, picked up the wine glass, and said lightly: "Lord Zhou Yuan, you are an excellent diplomat. I am happy to make friends with you, even though you are so young."

She was the first to drink it all, and her brows frowned immediately. The wine was so strong.

Zhou Yuan also drank it, then picked up the chopsticks and said: "Relax a little, let's talk while eating."

"Miss Kolodiya, can you tell me your story? Although I know the general idea, it is not detailed."

Kolodiya was reluctant to mention the past, but slowly said: "You just told me all my past. Yes, that's what I experienced."

"I was deceived and kicked out of the house. I gave birth to Dai Si. I tried hard to give her a good condition, and I also wanted to tell those who looked down on me in the past that I was not so cheap."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "In fact, I have the same experience as you."

Kolodiya squinted, not quite believing it.

Zhou Yuan said, "I think you should have inquired about me. I am just a scholar from a poor family. My parents died very early and I am an orphan."

"I married my wife and became a son-in-law. Do you understand what a son-in-law is?"

Kolodiya nodded and said, "I understand. There are many son-in-laws in France. Those men will marry widows to achieve economic benefits."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "My wife is not a widow. Of course, this is not important. The important thing is that the status of a son-in-law is also very low and is looked down upon by others."

"I am also like you. I have worked hard to get to where I am today and to restore my dignity."

"Our fates are so similar. Cheers."

Kolodiya glanced at him and drank the wine glass.

Zhou Yuan said, "But our fates are so different. I have achieved success, and you are about to fall into the trough again."

The strong liquor fermented in her body. Kolodiya felt uncomfortable when she heard this, but she gritted her teeth and did not refute.

Zhou Yuan gave her enough time to digest.

He ate half full before looking at Kolodiya again and said slowly: "Do you want to know the reason?"

Kolodiya smiled coldly and drank another glass of wine.

She was a little drunk.

Zhou Yuan said: "It's actually very simple. The reason why I rose is that I always took my destiny into my own hands, and the reason why you failed is that you were always controlled by others."

"You even have to look at McPherson's face to make money. How can you rise?"

Kolodiya said: "It's easy for you to say. I am raising a daughter alone and I am abandoned by my family. Who will respect me? Every step I take, I have to work ten times harder than others."

Zhou Yuan said: "You mean, my rise is helped by a noble person?"

Kolodiya snorted: "Could it be Isn't it? I asked the workers in Xiangzhou last night. They all knew your name and even knew your story. " "" Zhou Yuan looked at her, and said directly: "From today, you have a noble person to help!" Klitadia looked at him, but just watched and didn't speak. Zhou Yuan said: "I want to help you and I can help you." Zhou Yuan continued: "You have no cruiser, it takes at least half a year to repair. How many workers can I give you a shipbuilding, how much workers you can give you. ", now it's all in my hands, I can do whatever I want with it. "

"As long as I want, I can make you the richest man in the world and let you dominate Haojing."

Kolodia shook her head and said, "Don't joke, Lord Zhou Yuan, do you have an ironclad ship? Do you have a battleship? Do you have guns? McPherson does."

"He allows you to go to sea, you can go to sea, he is the active party."

Zhou Yuan said lightly: "No, it's you, you are the active party."

"As long as you help me get the design and manufacturing drawings and craftsmen, my Dajin can also build ironclad ships and guns."

"With guns, the Fujian and Guangdong navy will naturally be able to defeat McPherson."

"If McPherson falls, you will be the governor of Haojing!"

"At that time, I will give you all the silk, tea and porcelain in Fujian and Guangdong, and you can sell them."

"It will only take one or two years for your wealth to reach an astronomical figure. ”

“Having wealth is like having everything, isn’t it?”

Kolodiya laughed. She was beautiful and her smile was charming enough, but there was only coldness in her eyes.

“So that’s it.”

She looked at Zhou Yuan and said coldly: “Lord Zhou Yuan, you finally said what you wanted to say most.”

“You said so much, but the ultimate goal is only one, which is the design drawings and craftsmen of ironclad ships and guns.”

“You want me to betray my country!”

Zhou Yuan laughed and said slowly: “Treason? Is it that serious?”

“In fact, it’s not that terrible. Even if Dajin has strong ships and powerful guns, it is impossible to hit the Portuguese. You know very well that we are not interested in you. After all, you are too young.”

Kolodiya said: “You want to steal our technology!”

“Wait until you build guns and iron ships, can we still defend Haojing? It’s ridiculous! "

Zhou Yuan looked at her, his eyes became cold and his voice became serious.

"Kolodia, listen, you have two choices now."

"First, choose to refuse my help."

"Then I will frame you and provoke your relationship with McPherson. He will eventually attack you based on interests, power and beauty."

"In this case, you have no ability to protect yourself. You will become his mistress or even a slave."

"Your daughter may not be able to escape his clutches. Her fate has changed because of you."

"After all... the cruiser has been damaged, and you are not qualified to mobilize the battleship. You don't even have the chance to escape back to France."

Kolodia clenched her fists and couldn't help shouting: "Don't think of threatening me! Damn it! I won't compromise!"

Zhou Yuan said: "Second, choose to accept my help."

"You will provide ironclad ships and guns and artillery drawings, and send craftsmen to help Dajin build ironclad ships and manufacture guns. "

Kolodiya said: "I won't agree to your request!"

Zhou Yuan ignored her and continued: "We will defeat McPherson and hand over Macau to you, and you will become the Governor of Macau."

"At the same time, I will hand over all the silk, tea and porcelain export businesses in Fujian and Guangdong to you, and you will have countless wealth."

"With wealth and Macau, your king will grant you a title, and you will become the first countess or even a marquis of Portugal."

Kolodiya was gradually stunned.

Zhou Yuan continued: "You can trample on those who once abandoned you, those who once drove you out of the house, and those who once looked down on you!"

"Your family may turn to you to curry favor with you, or even beg you to come home."

"You can choose not to go back, because you are already strong enough."

"Your fate will be rewritten, and your legendary experience will be written into the history of Portugal and remembered by future generations. "

"Your deeds will affect countless women in France. They will regard you as a role model and idol and follow your footsteps."

"Your daughter can inherit your title, and her fate will be rewritten."

At this point, Zhou Yuan stood up and looked down at the blonde woman.

He said in a deep voice: "Think about what you have experienced and what you can get in the future."

"Ms. Kolodiya Avina, what reason do you have to refuse me? Why can't you control your own destiny?"

"If you refuse me, you will only become a slave, still despised by everyone, and still a joke among the French people."

"Promise me, you will have endless wealth and power, you will complete all your revenge on fate, you will become a legend and go down in history."

Zhou Yuan slapped the table and yelled: "Tell me! What reason do you have to refuse me!"

Kolodiya was stunned. She looked up at the young man in front of her. Her heart was already surging.Huge waves.
