Chapter 241 Coal and Steel Industry Negotiations



c_t; The German delegation first threw out the first proposal: a proposal on the establishment of coal and steel industrial bodies in Benxi and Anshan.

Gustav said that the German Krupp Group is willing to invest 25 million Deutsche marks to build a coal and steel industrial complex in Fengtian, hoping to obtain all the mining rights in Benxi and Anshan, and all the developed coal and iron ore resources will be shipped to Germany.

Tang Shaoyi saw the text of the proposal, sneered, and said: "Mr. Gustav, first of all, the mining rights are related to the sovereignty of the Qing Empire, there is no doubt about this matter, no country should take away a share of sovereignty from General Jianzhi, whether it is the right of way or the right of minerals, so your model is not valid." I have another mode of operation here, that is, the Krupp Group invested 16 million German marks to build a coal and steel industrial body, and sent relevant engineering and technical personnel, we Fengtian General's Mansion to mine and land shares, the two sides accounted for 50% of each share, the formation of a joint-stock company, the two sides sent representatives to form the company's board of directors, any major decisions have the company's board of directors to make relevant decisions, in order to show good faith, the Chinese side agreed that the industrial body has Krupp to send professional managers responsible for daily operations, At the same time, in order to solve the problem of industrial employment, the General's Office will provide 5,000 young and strong laborers and some technical personnel to enter the industrial body for development and related training, and entrust German technicians to carry out the work

The German Empire, and only then did it consider supplying other countries reads;. ”

Gustav's face turned red and he said: "Mr. Tang, this is impossible, we have invested 16 million German marks, which is equivalent to nearly 5 million taels of Guan Pingyin of your Great Qing Kingdom, such a huge investment, plus the engineering personnel we have stationed, only obtained 50% of your equity, this is unreasonable, we ask for at least 80% of the shares, this is undoubted." ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled and said: "Mr. Gustav, I believe that the resources of Benxi and Anshan coal mines and iron ores, you have a deep understanding, the value of these mineral resources, you should know better than me, as Chinese, if we have enough funds and technology, we are not even willing to give up a cent of equity, in order to show our sincerity, our general is willing to give the highest proportion of shares, distributed to you, I hope you can understand, the general's palace still has to withstand the huge pressure of Beijing's court, Because in the eyes of the old stubborns, none of these mines can be opened to foreign countries. We are asking you to invest 16 million German marks, and when the coal and steel industry is completed, I believe that within three years, you will be able to recover all your investment, and the future output will become your profits, which is already the most favorable condition for you, and our high-quality coal and high-quality steel are also given priority to supply your motherland, and then to other countries, is there anything not satisfied? ”

Gustav argued: "Mr. Don, you should know what our German Empire is capable of, in order to make a fortune

We need more high-quality coal and high-quality steel to ensure our development, so all the high-quality coal and steel must be supplied to our German Empire, and we are not only here to make money, we want to create a win-win situation. ( )”

Tang Shaoyi muttered: "In this way, Mr. Gustav, we can discuss this issue, I think that our coal and steel must be supplied to our two countries first, so as to ensure that our interests can be maximized, you also know, we are in Fengtian now, we need a certain amount of steel, but we are still very backward, we can't consume so much steel at all, we can achieve a quota system." Seventy percent of the output of Mr. Gustav's industrial body is supplied to Germany on a priority basis, 20 percent to Mukden, and the remaining 10 percent to the Chinese market and the international market, and we can enforce this quota for three years, and after three years, depending on our output at that time, Mr. Gustav, this is the biggest concession we can make. ”

Gustav nodded and said, "It's okay, then follow Mr. Tang's handling, but only with mines and land as shares, I'm afraid your investment is a little small, right?" ”

Tang Shaoyi replied: "Since Gustav has agreed, he is not very sorry for himself, and is willing to express on behalf of the General's Mansion that we are willing to invest 500,000 taels of silver as capital for shares." However, Mr. Gustav, the general has a request, requiring that in the first year, the coal production should not be less than 100,000 tons,

The steel output should not be less than 80,000 tons, and the iron output should not be less than 30,000 tons, and the annual growth rate should be maintained at more than 30% in the future to ensure that both of us can obtain sufficient benefits from it, and at the same time, you should assist us in the construction of marginal industries, such as chemicals, machinery, etc. ”

"We can do this," Gustav said, "and the part-time general's requirements for production are trivial for us, and we need you to make sure that our steel and related product technology do not flow into the UK......

After nearly a day, the two sides finally finalized a joint cooperation plan.

Immediately after that, the two sides moved on to the second issue: the issue of military cooperation.

For military cooperation, Tang Shaoyi first came up with his own plan: first, the general's palace set up the Fengtian Military Academy, and asked the German side to assist in sending some elite instructors to teach in China, and the instructors in China need to be approved by the general and the provost before they can enter the Wubeixuan Hall to teach, and the salary of the instructors will be twice that provided by the German side; 2. The General's Mansion will build the Shengjing Arsenal, and the engineering and technical personnel and equipment needed for the armament shovel will be provided with the assistance of Germany, and the equipment required will be sold to the Fengtian General's Mansion at a preferential price; 3. Every year, German colleges and universities need to accept no less than 100 military students, and entrust German colleges and universities to train them on their behalf; Fourth, the Shengjing General's Office will provide Germany with relevant technical drawings on advanced weapons such as mines, mortars, grenades, and submachine guns, and at the same time cooperate with the Krupp Group to improve its technology; 5. The Shengjing General's Mansion will allow the German elite army to enter the Blue Wolf Battalion for further study

Study, receive 100 German Army troops every year, and train special forces elites for Germany; 6. Weapons developed and improved by China and Krupp can only be sold to third countries after mutual confirmation by both sides...... The anti-dumping campaign then launched a fierce rhetoric on the second bill.
