Chapter 345: Cooperation Agreement
Hearing Sun Yuan's question, Wolf took out a piece of parchment from his purse and handed it over: "My lord, I have drafted an agreement, please take a look."
。 ”
"What is this...... It turned out to be a cooperation agreement! Sun Yuan glanced at it and immediately laughed.
Written in two copies in Latin and Chinese, this piece of parchment is an agreement to cooperate in the establishment of a military factory. Roughly speaking, Party A, that is, Sun Yuan, provides the venue, funds and personnel; Party B, Wolf, provides technical support, helps Party A train engineers and technicians, and is responsible for production.
After the cannon is produced, it will be accepted by Party A. After qualifying, the payment is made in gold and silver.
The ratio of shares to the two is five to five.
That's right, it's a joint-stock company.
Sun Yuan suddenly laughed: "Sir, you probably haven't figured out the situation yet. Nowadays, you are penniless, according to this agreement, whether it is the venue, capital or personnel, we will provide it. And sir, you don't have to pay any price, you just give half of the shares. Do you think I can sign such an agreement? That's fine, ninety-one, I'm nine, you're one. ”
Wolfe's face was proud: "General, say something unkind." In the entire Far East, people who know how to make artillery can count them on two hands. And I am the only one who can make the latest European cannon. If the general does not agree to this agreement, as long as I nod my head, there are partners. ”
"No, no, no, .cc [marshmallows] In the Far East today, no one has yet recognized the significance of artillery to the battlefield. Moreover, you have probably seen the situation of our Ming Dynasty, there are wars everywhere, the place is already rotten, and no one can come up with so much money. Eight points nine to one point. ”
Wolf shook his head: "My lord, because the Far East is full of wars, after realizing the power of artillery, someone will definitely come up with a large amount of money to strengthen the armament." Five to five, no less. ”
"Sir, you are European, you don't know what we Far Easterners think. For example, casting a cannon consumes a lot of brass and bronze. Building a cannon is enough to build a team of thousands of people. Our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not worth much, throw them a piece of black bread, and then throw them a wooden stick, and they can go to the battlefield. Anyway, in the eyes of the generals, soldiers are nothing more than consumables. If you're dead, you'll be able to do it again. Our Ming Dynasty lacks everything, but there is no shortage of peasants who can't survive. Eight to one to two. ”
"Peasant, can a peasant be a soldier, can he go to the battlefield if he is given a stick?" The Germans cried out angrily: "To drive unequipped, untrained peasants to the battlefield, that is to send them to death, this is a crime."
! Five-five-to-four-five. ”
"But the truth is, no one is willing to pay a lot of money for your cannon, even if your cannon is advanced?" Sun Yuan spread his hands: "Actually, in the eyes of the Far Easterners. The so-called cannon is nothing more than a larger artillery battle. Isn't it just a cannon barrel on a wooden shelf, when you use it, fill it with a projectile bag, stuff it with a stone, light it and shoot it out, you can hear the sound, and if you can hit the target, it is considered to be alive. I can make this thing myself, do I need to buy it? Eight to five to one to five. ”
Wolf was even more angry: "My lord is very simple, do you still understand science? Know what a solid bullet, a shrapnel, a shotgun, know what a chain bullet is? There is nothing to talk about about shares. ”
……
In this way, the two began to grind their tongues.
Everyone in the big tent of the Chinese army was dumbfounded, and although Sun Yuan was very kind, he was like a god in everyone's minds, high and awe-inspiring. But looking at his bargaining appearance at the moment, what is the difference between him and an ordinary businessman?
Soon, someone whispered.
"Why does the general have to set up an artillery factory with this foreign devil, is it necessary?"
"Yes, the musket and spear phalanx of our Ningxiang Army is strong enough, but the number is smaller. Now, what the general needs to do most is to be an official, to be a big official, and to double the size of our Ningxiang Army. Do you think, if the general has 20,000 elite soldiers in his hands, what is the point of just building slaves? ”
"Yes, yes, the army should be expanded, hehe, 20,000 horses, enough to sweep the world. When the time comes, don't say anything about building slaves, as long as the general wants to, even if he is the emperor, he will deserve it. "The person who spoke was the elite of Gao Yingxiang's army before, and he was very gangster. As he spoke, he chuckled in a low voice.
There was some noise in the tent, and everyone didn't take his words seriously.
Pablo, a Portuguese mercenary, tugged at an officer beside him.
The officer asked impatiently, "Devil, what's the matter?" ”
Pablo asked in stiff Chinese, "I want to ask, what is the name of that female general in your army?" ”
"Oh, you mean Miss Zhu, the cavalry commander of our Ningxiang Army." The man suddenly stared at Pablo suspiciously: "What are you asking for?" ”
"It's nothing, I'm going to join your lord's army in the future, and I'll be a family from now on
。 ”
"Who the hell is a family with this devil of you?"
"It's hard for you to speak, it's not good, in the future, you infantry will have to rely on my artillery!"
"Hmph, artillery, what is artillery?"
At this time, Wolf suddenly shouted: "My lord, are you insulting me, you can't accept it, you can't accept it!" In that case, my lord, let's solve the problem in a manly way. ”
Now, the tent was quiet.
When I looked closely, I saw the German devil roll up his sleeves, revealing his strong furry arms, clenching his fists and comparing paintings.
"What are you doing, protect the general!" There was a loud uproar and everyone drew their waist knives.
"No, no, sir, you and I are negotiating business, and there is no question of who insults whom." Sun Yuan waved his hand at his subordinates, signaling them to be quiet.
Then he looked at Wolf with a smile: "Sir, you Prussians are strict and sincere, I have heard of them for a long time. But when I saw you today, I was disappointed. ”
He pointed to the contract and said, "You see that there has obviously been a correction on it, if I guessed correctly, you should have shown this contract to Father John Tong, and then it was thrown out by the adults of the gun factory." You are not rigorous in your work, and you don't know how to transcribe a copy from the new. I am dignified and rich in the world, and I can build a cannon myself, do I need to buy it from your people? If you want to occupy a large number of shares without paying a penny, will the Ministry of Industry dare to agree? Sir, in the entire Far East, only I, Sun Yuan, have agreed to cooperate with you. Everyone, let's just do it, two-eight, you two-me-eight. If it doesn't work out, you give a word. ”
After Sun Yuan exposed this, Wolf was full of depression, and after a long time, he nodded: "Sign it!" ”
Seeing that he had dealt with this old German man, Sun Yuan felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart. He was a liberal arts student in his previous life, and he didn't know anything about guns, and if the Ningxiang Army continued to develop like this, it would be just a typical classical army with no great future. With this German, the modernization of the army becomes simpler.
He didn't talk nonsense, picked up the brush, and quickly wrote a new contract.
