Robin finally couldn't sit still, and got up and scurried around the room, calculating with his poor brain cells······

Young Master Liang looked dizzy, but he couldn't let him stop, so he could only choose sadly - close his eyes.

After a long time, our consul finally understood, and took Master Liang's hand and said awkwardly: "Brother, this time we can't give the French so many shares, and the two of us together should account for the vast majority of the shares."

Well, the greed of the British was revealed, and he wanted to occupy more shares after running around the room for a long time, so Master Liang could only choose to close his eyes again······

"Robin, you must know that the two of us alone can't run so many factories, we don't have so many manpower, material and financial resources, and we can give them the appropriate shares to make this cake bigger and more delicious."

Well, Robin was dumbfounded, maybe he had benefited greatly from oppressing the French, and he had habitually regarded this matter as his life's mission; Robin rolled his eyes, and finally stopped harming his poor brain cells, but chose to listen to his sworn brother's arrangement, which is also a habit that has been tested and qualified in practice.

"Big brother, you arrange the work at hand, and the two of us will go to Shanghai together."

OK！ It's the best, Robin enjoys it like this, he's a good plan executor, well, that's all.

So, the deluxe version of the brothers went to the beach and began to stage.

Young Master Liang's battle plan against Japan began to be prepared, and the army and navy of the Liang family army began targeted training, the transportation of materials and equipment was watched by Liang Haowen, and the training battalion was led by Liang Qiang, so he had a little spare time this time.

"Luo Bin, after the establishment of the Shanghai Development Zone, our textile company can also build a branch factory in Shanghai", on the sea ship from Guangzhou to Shanghai, ready to discuss with the sworn brothers who broke into the beach, of course, Luo Bin didn't want to think about it anymore, he just listened.

"Brother, I don't have much money right now."

"It doesn't matter, we can do it with the profits of the textile company, no additional investment is required; But it is necessary for the two of us to invest in a foreign bank, and we can completely control the Shanghai Development Zone through this foreign bank, do you still want Swire & Co. to become the majority shareholder of the Shanghai Development Zone? ”

"Well, it makes sense, Swire & Co. is Swaier's, and I'm just a big class, but how much investment does it take to run such a foreign firm?"

"Well, it doesn't take too much, it should be enough for each of us to give 100,000 taels, you should have 100,000 taels, right?"

"Yes, yes, I can still get 100,000 taels", Luo Bin wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said with a sigh of relief, who made this sworn brother always like to make big investments.

But then his sworn brother still didn't let him go: "Big brother, I am also going to set up a shipyard in Shanghai, and now there are two shipyards in Guangzhou, one is a joint venture between me and Prussia in the United States, and the other is French, but in terms of shipbuilding technology in the world today, the British Empire is still the strongest, so I think the two of us should set up a shipyard in Shanghai, China's trade center."

"But brother, running a shipyard requires a large amount of investment, and I can't take it out now", it's really a lot of money when it's used, and Luo Bin, who felt that he was very rich a while ago, was very inferior in an instant.

"Money is not a problem, isn't there me, I can help you pay it first, and then pay me back when you have enough money; What do you think about the need for shipyards to invest two million taels, or in the ratio of three to seven? ”

The three achievements are 600,000 taels, Luo Bin was hit by this number again, but he reacted immediately, and he didn't need to take it out now, this brother let him take advantage of the 600,000 taels of silver in vain, and he could use the profits of textile companies and shipyards to repay this silver in the future, where can I find this kind of good thing of borrowing chickens and laying eggs?

"Okay! I listen to you, and I'll pay you back when I have more money in the future" Luo Bin, who loves face, will not express his gratitude in a low voice.

When he arrived in Shanghai, Luo Bin immediately became an excellent executor as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

He approached the British Consul General in Shanghai, John McWartop, and asked him to come forward to find out the government's Shanghai Road and rent a piece of land to run the Shanghai Development Zone.

Because of the historical changes brought by Young Master Liang, the current Shanghai Daotai is Zeng Jize. And after Young Master Liang and Luo Bin separated, they went directly to see Zeng Jize, who is one of his current fathers-in-law.

"Zhenxi, you can't run this development zone, isn't this a betrayal?" Zeng Jize listened to his son-in-law's request and objected categorically.

Young Master Liang didn't expect this cheap old man to give no face at all, so he could only calm down and do ideological work slowly: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law's move is by no means a loss of public and private interests, let alone a traitor, if you have time, you can go to Guangzhou to see, Guangzhou Development Zone is also founded by me, foreigners from all over the world have built countless factories in the development zone, and at the same time, many technical training schools have been opened in the development zone, and the son-in-law thinks that this is a great thing for our country, not only to bring Western industrial technology to our country, It has also trained thousands of skilled workers for us, and these are necessary for our country to become strong."

"Foreigners can't afford to be early, how can they do things for the Qing Dynasty in vain?" Zeng Jize's idea is also a common idea among Qing officials.

"Yes, foreigners set up factories in the Qing Dynasty to make money, but I think this is the price we have to pay, and this price is not too big, if we want to train so many workers by ourselves, not to say that there is no way, but there is a way, the price we need to pay is much greater."

"But this involves national sovereignty, how can it be confused!"

Young Master Liang didn't expect that Zeng Jize, who was still enlightened, couldn't turn the corner, and couldn't help but be angry: "Father-in-law, the development zone is not a concession, foreigners can have the right to garrison and judge in the concession, and the Qing government is not allowed to interfere in the management of the concession, these privileges do not exist in the development zone, the development zone is just an industrial zone to attract investment, foreigners in the development zone must also abide by the laws of the Qing Dynasty, and the foreigner army is not allowed to enter, and the police station established in the development zone is responsible for public security management."

"Oh?" Zeng Jize eased a little, he is indeed a relatively enlightened Qing official, and he also knows the importance of industrial development to the country's strength, but he is absolutely not allowed to sell national sovereignty, if this development zone and the concession are not the same thing, then it can be considered.

Young Master Liang originally wanted to ask about his fiancée's can't bind his feet, but he forgot about it in a hurry.

In fact, even if Zeng Jize objected, the Qing court would still agree to foreigners leasing land in Shanghai to establish a development zone, and the Qing court, which was copied by the British and French forces, could no longer harden up.

The rest is just a matter of which piece of land to lease.

With a wave of his hand, Master Liang enclosed a large area of about 80 square kilometers in the northeast of Pudong, which is surrounded by the Yangtze River in the east and north, the Huangpu River in the west, and a river connecting the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River in the south.

Because there is a precedent for the Guangzhou Development Zone, the lease term of the Shanghai Development Zone is also 50 years, and the rent is amortized according to the area, and 43,600 taels of silver need to be delivered to Shanghai Road every year, which is much higher than that of the Guangzhou Development Zone, because the area of the Shanghai Development Zone is much larger than that of Guangzhou.

Through the coordination of the British Consul General in Shanghai, Macwartop, the French Consul Darber, and the American Consul Seward, an agreement was finally reached that the brothers of Young Master Liang and Luo Bin accounted for 60% of the shares, and the rest of the shares were divided between the foreign companies of France, the United States and other countries.

Shanghai has also embarked on a development path that is different from its original history.
