However, it is not said yet, and there is still a new meaning in the future.

"In the demarcated land, one shipyard and two large docks are allowed to be built; a quasi-built arsenal; a machine factory was approved for construction; a gunpowder factory was allowed to be built; a quasi-construction gas furnace plant; Quasi-construction of a silk reeling factory and a foreign cloth factory; Permission to build a fire plant; a quasi-construction printing factory; Quasi-construction of accommodation for Huayang staff. Other machine spring parts that need to be set up in a supporting factory shall be verified by the China and Foreign Merchants Bureau, and none of them shall be approved. ”

Everyone tasted it -- not just doing whatever they wanted, but setting a goal. But what is this Sino-foreign investment promotion bureau?

"All factories in the Lower Gaochang Plot shall be subject to customs duties as if they were imported from abroad and shall be subject to customs duties as if they were imported from abroad."

So that's the case, no wonder it is said that Yang Fang should set up a customs office in Gaochang Temple.

"The Sino-foreign Investment Promotion Bureau is composed of five people: Rong Hong, the alternate prefect, Libin, the alternate prefect, Mai Dusi, the general director of the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Concession, Jin Nengheng, the director of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, and Jean Jacques, the director of the Ministry of Industry Bureau. All factories must be of high quality and approved by the China and Foreign Investment Promotion Bureau before they are allowed to be established. All factory owners must obtain the qualification of tenants within the concession before they are allowed to be established. ”

After saying this, Guan Zhuofan consciously removed a big stone in his heart, sighed, and began to smile on his face.

"Guys, what do you think?"

This is to let everyone speak, Zhao Jingxian was the first to speak.

"Sir, this is a big deal, do you want to ask for an order?"

"This matter is not subject to the court for the time being!" Guan Zhuofan lowered his voice, "Fortunately, it wasn't going to be done immediately." Within this year, it will not only be used to level the land for transportation. And it's going to take a year's work. It will be a factory in a foreign country. Conduct detailed investigations, draw up alternatives, and start initial negotiations. After a year, when everything is ready, I will naturally ask for a request. ”

Zhao Jingxian understood, that is to say, there is still a year of inspection period. However, this does not fully dispel the doubts -- Guan Futai's approach is to turn the most haode factories in Western countries in one fell swoop. Each moved to the door of his house, but such a big move involved a wide range of people, and he couldn't help but worry about Guan Zhuofan.

"If a year later, the imperial court can allow it, then everyone will be happy. If he refuses to allow it, I am afraid that the marshal will be blamed for it. ”

"I know." Guan Zhuofan nodded, "Brother Zhu, you are planning for me." I'll get it straight, this one thing. If it were today's petition, it would most likely be dismissed. But if I ask for it a year later, I'm confident that I'll be able to get it. ”

Although he didn't know that Weishenme would have to wait another year, since Futai had such confidence, Zhao Jingxian didn't say anything, nodded slowly, and looked at the other people.

"If you can do it, it's a very good thing!" Liu Xunji's eyes lit up, "These factories are looking for the most haode in Western countries, and the ship guns made are naturally first-class." Far away in the sky, it is better to be close at hand, if you talk about doing foreign affairs, these are not ready-made molds to learn? Take the exemption from paying land rent, exempt from taxation, and attract foreigners to set up factories, and the goods produced can at least cover more than half of the goods just for the imperial court. Who wouldn't rush to such a good deed? I think it's a bit cheap for these foreigners. ”

"If it's not cheap, how can others rush to come?" Guan Zhuofan picked up the conversation, "What's more, foreigners have cheap, and we have the same." His factory is run in China, and he always has to recruit thousands of people to work, not to mention giving these workers a way out to support their families, but only that after learning the craft in the future, it is our turn to set up our own factory, aren't these all talents? In addition, he can't transport all the materials he uses from abroad, but he always has to purchase a lot here, which is a way to make money. ”

"Boss!" Ding Shijie held back for a long time, and finally caught a glimpse of this one sentence, and hurriedly asked, "These guns and ships must be equipped with the Xuan Army first, right?" ”

"What do you say?" Guan Zhuofan was noncommittal, and asked with a smile, "It's not only guns, but also silk reeling factories, weaving factories, printing factories, and fire factories, haven't you heard?" ”

"I ...... Hehe, when you hear about the shipyard and the arsenal, you forget about anything else...... But it's the running fire, I don't know what it is? ”

"It's a foreign fire," Yang Fang, who likes Western-style style the most, knew it, and replied for Guan Zhuofan, "A small wooden branch is coated with medicine, and when you rub it on a special piece of paper, there will be fire, which is the most convenient." This thing is extremely rare, and some foreign businessmen bring it from foreign countries to give it away, and only after making a big deal are willing to send such three packs and five packs. ”

It turned out to be such a haode thing, Ding Shijie thought about it with fascination, and asked: "Boss, these are all good things, if we can participate in some shares, wouldn't it be good?" Weishenme said 'not subject to official shares'? ”

Hearing him ask like this, the faces of several other people showed knowing smiles together, but it turned out that Yang Fang spoke.

"Admiral Ding, you have been leading troops to fight, and you don't know about these things in the officialdom. To run such a factory, can we be smarter than foreigners? If there are officials involved, it will only hinder it, and nothing good can be done. is not subject to official shares, which is where the marshal is wise. ”

"Okay, okay, if Qi Weng pleases me again, I should blush." Guan Zhuofan smiled and said, "There is one thing, I know you must have doubts, but you haven't asked me yet." ”

This matter is the Sino-foreign China Merchants Bureau. Because other people's names are not in it except for Libin, it is not easy to ask, otherwise it will inevitably make people think that they are asking "weishenme is not contemptible inside?" ”

"Brother Fang Cai Zhusheng said, this is a big thing, and it is indeed good. Where's the big? It's big and it's about diplomacy! Guan Zhuofan no longer waited for them to ask, and said to himself, "If it is done by officials against officials, it will not be possible to do it for another ten years." Without him, the number of factories allowed is limited, so many countries, how to divide them? Now I am using the method of converting from an official to a private person -- Yung Chunfu and Mr. Li are both alternate prefects and not official officials of the imperial court, while the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the concession is an autonomous organization elected by the tenants themselves, and has nothing to do with the government. What's more, among these five people, even if Rong Chunfu is not regarded as an American, it is also a three-ocean and two China, and if you use this signboard to do things, according to the public law of all countries, foreign governments will not be able to trouble me! ”

This method is indeed a good method -- replacing "official-to-official" with "people-to-people" can be regarded as blocking the mouths of foreign devils, so that they cannot come up with any clauses such as "equalization of interests" to talk about things.

Once revealed, the suspicions were all dispersed, and everyone didn't expect that Guan Zhuofan's intentions were so deep.

"Sir, this Chinese and foreign investment promotion bureau, I don't know if you can command Ruyi?" Zhao Jingxian was a little worried and asked, "After all, it's Sanyo and Lianghua." ”

"Maddox is Mr. Leigh's teacher, and Kim Neng-hyung is the one who runs the telegram for us, as long as Britain and the United States each allow a factory, everything can be emotionally intelligent. The Frenchman asked Jacques to be just pulling him in under the guise of a dispute, even if there was a dispute, it was also four against one, so it might as well be. ”

"Then the vacant land in Gaochang ......"

"Keep it for yourself in the future." Guan Zhuofan drew a circle on the sketch and said lightly, "I have never seen a tiger before, so I don't know how to draw it." Now that I have the tiger in front of me, will I still draw a cat if I draw it in the future? ”

"Good!" This kind of calculation made Zhao Jingxian completely convinced, and he had no worries, and stood up excitedly, "Sir, although you can rest assured that you will go to Beijing, we will start to handle the matter you explain today, and there will never be a trace of delay!" It's just two pieces of land demarcated by Gaochang and Shang, shouldn't it be a famous place to install it? In the future, there will be a distinction between correspondence and correspondence. ”

"Is this...... It was supposed to have a name. ”

This time, Guan Daren didn't come up with any new tricks, and honestly reported the name he copied.

"The vacant land reserved in Shanggaochang is called the 'Industrial Park'."

Industrial parks? Everyone smacked it, and they all felt that it was both beautiful and appropriate -- the word "industry" had never been heard of, and adding the word "garden" was quite elegant. Such a good name, the marshal actually created it casually, what a talent!

"So the piece of ...... that Gaochang gave to foreigners?"

"Free Trade Zone."
