Of course, Guo Ye has this confidence, at the beginning, he first copied the home of a tyrant in Tongxian County, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were confiscated by him, and then robbed the British and French coalition troops, more than 100 truckloads of goods, worth tens of millions of taels of silver!

Of course, what we are talking about here is the value, which has a large number of jade, porcelain, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, converted into silver taels, and there are absolutely not so many real gold and silver, even so, among the more than 100 carts of goods, there are still 200,000 taels of gold and 3 million taels of silver, which is a huge number, which is thicker than the family foundation in the treasury of the Qing Dynasty.

However, Guo Ye will only use this money and grain on the blade, that is, it must be used where there is output, otherwise, it will be empty!

However, if this is done, the control of the entire group cannot be guaranteed, after all, both parties are 48% of the shares, so what about decision-making? Who has the final say?

As a first-class businessman, Colt was naturally unwilling to concede on this issue of decision-making power.

Colt replied: "General Guo Ye, I know that your country's funds are very tight now, I think even with my own financial resources, it is enough to want to set up such a factory, why do you need to come up with such a fund again?" There's no need, right? If you feel that it is not appropriate for you to invest in the technology, we can make appropriate adjustments......"

Guo Ye shook his head and said with a smile: "No, this must be guaranteed, all major decisions must be approved by me before they can be implemented, of course, if the matter is urgent, you have the right to make decisions temporarily." Moreover, the day-to-day management of the company is all in your hands. ”

This one......

Colt still had some hesitation.

Guo Ye smiled: "Mr. Colt." Is there a civil war in your country now? ”

Colt exclaimed, "Yes. General Guo. I didn't expect you to be so well-informed. Yes, now that the civil war has begun, and the rebels in the South are the first to attack the government forces, the reason why I am anxious to see you this time is that I want to return to the United States immediately after completing our cooperation, and my Colt company is located in Richmond, Virginia, which is one of the most fierce areas of confrontation between the North and the South. I'm really worried about my company's ......"

Guo Ye smiled: "That's good, but I'm insuring your company and our future company!" ”

Colt was stunned for a moment and asked, "General Guo, what do you mean by this?" ”

Guo Ye replied: "Anything can happen in a war, not to mention that your arms company produces a large number of weapons, which is the focus of contention between the two sides, if you can't grab it in your own hands, it will be destroyed, and it will not be left to the opponent!" ”

Colt's face changed, for business. He was an elitist, but for political things. But it's not so sensitive.

"General Guo, do you mean that they will go all out to seek control of my arsenal, even if they destroy it?"

Colt asked eagerly.

Guo Ye replied: "Yes, I am a general, if I am in the midst of the Civil War, the arsenal that can determine the change of force between the two sides must definitely be controlled in my hands, and if I can't control it, then it will be destroyed, at least it is much better than falling into the hands of the opponent!" ”

Colt's face turned pale, this joint, he really didn't expect that if that was the case, his factory would really be in danger! Isn't it even more dangerous to be closer to the government of the United States of the North, but under the control of the Confederate States?

Guo Ye smiled: "So, I have an insurance for our company!" ”

Colt hurriedly asked, "What insurance?" ”

Guo Ye replied: "The apprentices I sent to you to study will be directly drawn from my army, everyone is an iron-clad man, with excellent combat power, not to mention the rebel army in the south, even the elite of Britain and France in Europe, and they may not be their opponents, well, more than a hundred people, equivalent to the strength of a company, with innumerable and inexhaustible weapons and ammunition, for the safety of the company, isn't it an insurance?" Unless the southern rebels send more than a battalion of troops, they will definitely not be able to help them. ”

Colt's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly grabbed Guo Ye's sleeve and replied: "General Guo, can we discuss it again, I hope you can shoot some more apprentices, and I will give them double the salary, no, five times the salary!" You can send as many people as you want! ”

Hahaha......

Guo Ye laughed out loud and said, "Mr. Colt, you must know that there are less than a thousand people under my command, and they are all going to the United States, so what else do I rely on to fight?" ”

Colt laughed embarrassedly, too, the degree of chaos in China is even more serious than that of the United States, this civil war has been fought for more than ten years, and it has not yet ended, and it is rare to be able to give yourself a certain amount of force to defend yourself.

Colt said helplessly: "Okay, General Guo, I hope this concession from you and me can bring me more good luck in the future......"

Guo Ye smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Colt, that's absolutely no problem." ”

It was Guo Ye who remembered something and asked, "Mr. Colt, I heard that your country's university education is developing rapidly?" ”

Colt didn't know why, nodded, and replied: "Yes, General Guo, now that there are many wars in Europe, many excellent scientists like to settle in the United States, and now Harvard University, Yale University, Valencia University and Princeton University in the United States have become the world's first-class schools, where world-class academic research is a real academic mecca!" ”

Guo Ye nodded, and then smiled: "Okay, Mr. Colt, Mr. Hua Ruohan, because of the negotiations with Britain and France in the past few days, I have no time to separate, and I also asked Colt to draw up a charter, and we will advance it in detail, how about it?" ”

Colt laughed, "That's exactly how it should be." ”

Guo Ye continued: "There is one more thing, please ask the two of you to help. ”

Hua Ruohan asked, "What is it?" ”

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "After some time, I want to start a cooperation with your country to promote young Chinese scholars to study in the United States, all ages, all disciplines, and I hope that the two of you can work more with your government......

Hua Ruohan said with a smile: "This question is not difficult, as long as your government agrees, you can send students to the United States at any time, the United States is a free country, and there will be no obstacles to this." ”
