The two little friends who had negotiated the deal shook hands happily; Young Master Liang went to find Loew, and Mauser Jr. went to send a telegram to his brother Mauser.

Young Master Liang, who was walking on the road, smiled like a weasel who had only stolen a chicken, and this unexpected gain made him very satisfied, it seems that he has to increase cooperation with the Prussians, and he will definitely have an unexpected joy in the future.

Loew has already made a quotation here, and this batch of equipment is a little more than 100,000 taels of silver, and Loew gave a friendly price, erasing the odds, 100,000 taels.

Young Master Liang agreed after reading it, and the two sides immediately signed a contract. Loew, who had negotiated a deal for the Machinery Factory, was very happy, and Zhang Luo wanted to invite Young Master Liang to dinner.

"Don't worry, Mr. Loew, it's still early to eat, I still have something to talk to you about" Young Master Liang asked Loew to sit down and speak: "I am ready to cooperate with you to set up three companies."

Loew jumped: "Three companies? ”

"Yes, three companies, one power company, that produce boilers and steam engines; a mining machinery company that manufactures machinery and equipment for mining; There is also a construction machinery company, which produces construction machinery and equipment. Young Master Liang wrenched his fingers and said: "Your current machine and machinery factory seems to have a wide range of production, but there are also shortcomings that the business characteristics are not distinct, so that people can't figure out what your main business is for a while."

Loew listened and agreed, their factory is indeed a bit greedy and chewy, can produce general machinery and machine tools, locomotives, carriages, and artillery, is a bit broad but not refined.

Master Liang continued: "In the future, there will definitely be a market for mining machinery and construction machinery in China; And now in China, there is not even a steam engine production plant, do you think there will be no business? ”

"Well, what's this? Hi! Ronnie, what you said makes sense, I should have listened to you in the first place" Loew shook his head: "Then how can I cooperate with you now"?

"Each of them owns half of the shares, or you can have six or four of them" Young Master Liang values the fact that more factories can be opened in China, and it doesn't matter how many shares there are, so that the Prussians will pay more attention to the more shares; This kind of heavy industry is the most technological, and it is what China needs at the moment.

"Okay, I'll talk to the shareholders and I'll get back to you later."

"No problem, you can mention to the shareholders that Tianbao Xing's branches in various parts of China will be opened one after another this year, and you can expand the market with Tianbaoxing's sales advantages in the future, China is so big, I believe that the business opportunities in the future are unlimited" Master Liang reiterated the advantages of Tianbaoxing, and the cooperation between the two sides is actually mutually beneficial.

"One more thing, Mr. Loew, since the shipyard is already in production, can we build warships?" Young Master Liang just asked casually.

Who knew that Loew nodded and said: "It should be possible, now the shipyard and the machinery factory have quite strong technical force, and they should be able to produce warships of less than 5,000 tons, that is, steam engines and boilers must be purchased from Europe."

This time it was Young Master Liang's turn to be taken aback, and he asked uneasily, "Is it the latest steam-powered ironclad battleship?" ”

"Of course, our technology and equipment here are the latest, not worse than Europe, of course, we can build the latest ironclad warships, but the production cycle is a little longer than Europe, after all, this is a new factory, all aspects of cooperation is not skilled, need to run in" Loew replied: "Now it seems that the steam power company you proposed to establish is really very necessary, the current shipyard can not produce this and needs to be purchased, if you make up this link, the shipyard is really complete."

Young Master Liang understood, and he said with a try-and-see attitude: "Then I will order two warships of about 3,000 tons, and you will ask the shipyard to help me calculate the cost?" ”

Loew laughed when he heard this: "Ronnie, you are the majority shareholder of the shipyard, why are you still asking me?" ”

Young Master Liang was stunned when he heard this, alas, he almost forgot about this stubble, and immediately smiled embarrassedly: "Alas, I'm too busy now, how can I have time to stare at these, so you can help me ask." I'll eat next time, I'll invite you to dinner next time, and I'll go to other places later."

In fact, Master Liang's brain was a little confused, he didn't expect happiness to come too suddenly, and he tried his best to befriend Luo Bin, just hoping to buy a few old battleships of the British, who knew that he could build battleships in his own shipyard in the Guangzhou Development Zone, oh buy Ga! Is today April Fool's Day? What's so good about it?

Young Master Liang couldn't believe it, so he came to another shipyard in the same development zone, a shipyard run by the French, and the Prussian engineer just now also said that the French shipyard already has a large hydraulic press of 6,000 tons, which sounds like this shipyard is very strong.

He went directly to the manager of this shipyard, the Frenchman Pierre, and offered to order two warships of three thousand tons.

Which Cheng thought about this Pierre replied briskly: "No problem, just sir, how do you want to configure the firepower of this kind of battleship you ordered, and what is the maximum speed?" ”

Young Master Liang said calmly: "I hope that the warships ordered here are of the same level as the latest warships ordered in France or Europe, can you do it?" ”

"No problem, sir, the battleship we build here is the latest style and latest technology warship in Europe, the only difference is that the caliber of the configuration of naval guns is limited, however, if you only need a three-thousand-ton battleship, the limitation of naval guns is ineffective for you, because a three-thousand-ton battleship cannot be equipped with large-caliber naval guns" Pierre patiently replied, in fact, this Frenchman already knew the identity of Young Master Liang, who was the legendary "magical boy".

I see! Young Master Liang finally figured it out, because Europe already has more than 10,000 tons of large ironclad warships, so the general small and medium-sized warships are no longer restricted, anyway, even if you have a fleet of small and medium-sized warships, you don't dare to challenge the large warships in Europe; In recent years, the so-called technical restrictions and restrictions on new weapons have been relatively relaxed, and it is estimated that they will be gradually tightened at the request of the governments of European countries in the future, and the capitalists are now seizing the time to make money.

"And how big can you produce and build the largest tonnage warship here?" Young Master Liang simply asked.

"More than five thousand tons, no more than six thousand tons, because our largest dock here is only six thousand tons" Pierre gave an affirmative answer.

"Is there a limit to the guns of battleships of more than 5,000 tons?" Young Master Liang asked uneasily.

"There should be no limit to more than 5,000 tons."

"Okay, let's do it, I'll order two warships of about 5,000 tons and four warships of about 3,000 tons, you help me refer to the latest European design, give me a detailed technical parameters and quotation, if I think it's suitable, I'll sign a contract with you" Young Master Liang easily placed a big order.
