Chapter 50: A Journey to Germany
The German emperor knew that he could not fall out with China now, because they were big rich people, and this time China purchased the most machinery and equipment in Germany, and many large factory owners and parliamentarians gathered around Li Hongzhang, hoping that Li Hongzhang would buy more things.

In addition, the emperor of China has promised to set up a Sino-German free trade zone on the Shandong Peninsula, which is the dream of many German businessmen, and the greatest hope of German businessmen is to have their own seaport overseas.
Therefore, we must not offend the Chinese now, that will cause public indignation, Wilhelm II said, we must pay close attention to the movements of the Chinese!
The Chinese delegation did not know about these things, Cai Shaoji and Liang Ruye were too busy to get up these days, but fortunately they found many scientists and very skilled craftsmen who were willing to come to China.
When Prince Rang Gong is also coming, there are even more people in the German speech, after the old man made an enthusiastic speech, Tang Shaoyi came to the stage, this is to do a roadshow, is to buy stocks, with the experience in the UK, this time Tang Shaoyi set the price ten times. The first is that the capital we have raised is almost gone, and the second is that the shares given by the emperor to be listed overseas have been almost used. So the pricing is higher, and it doesn't matter if you can't sell it.
But what he didn't expect was that at the pre-sale office organized by Tang Shaoyi, there was a long queue, and soon the shares prepared by Tang Shaoyi were bought, and in the end, many people who didn't buy the shares cried sadly!
Why is that?
Soon Tang Shaoyi and the others knew what was going on, it turned out that the Jews had already felt it, and soon Germany would attack these Jews, which meant that their property for many years would soon be in vain. After learning the news, Tang Shaoyi felt that this was a good opportunity, and immediately sent a message back to China to ask the cabinet what to do!
The cabinet discussed for a long time, but always thought that it was better not to offend Germany, Guangxu knew that this was a good opportunity, so he believed it to the German emperor and Bismarck!
In order to facilitate economic and trade cooperation between the two countries and better develop the economic relations between the two countries. We agreed to set up a free trade zone, but the local roads, railways, and other public infrastructure construction funds are needed a lot, so as long as the Kaiser agrees that China will open a bank in Germany, issue government bonds, and use the funds raised to develop the construction of the Sino-German economic development zone, and China will also order two warships in Germany, if the issuance of national bonds goes well, the order of warships will be increased, and the order volume of other products will also be increased.
The Kaiser quickly replied to this request, agreeing to China's request to open a bank in Germany and issue treasury bonds, and then Tang Shaoyi began to run wildly, and now he threw out 80 million marks of treasury bonds in the German securities market, and then started a roadshow in the Jewish area to ensure the safety of bonds! Speech bond products are divided into five-year, ten-year, and thirty-year long-term construction bonds, and the interest is paid from the date of purchase, and the principal is settled after maturity.
And all the bonds issued will be used in the construction of the Sino-German Shandong Economic Free Trade Zone, and the future repayment will be counted on the tax revenue in this region, so this region welcomes you very much, the better the development here, the more secure our future will be!
The most important thing is that all the bonds we issue are based on the Emperor's Forbidden City as the last collateral, so you can rest assured and buy boldly!
In the German bond market, China's bond sales are extremely hot, of course, most of them are Jews, this is a good way to transfer property, China is doing a good job while counting money!
Originally, Li Hongzhang was still careful in his calculations, whether some equipment should be bought next time, the cost in Germany is likely to exceed the budget, but the impact on the old man in Germany is much greater than in the UK. If you still bring this kind of play, I'll send you money at this time!
Soon a Jewish banker approached Tang Shaoyi and wanted to give his bank to China, as long as China still let them stay and work, what a miracle of such a good thing! Thanks to the dear German Emperor Wilhelm II!
Soon the Huaxia Imperial Bank was established, but it was a joint stock method, and the Huaxia Empire accounted for one percent of the shares, but the one percent was the "gold shares", that is, when the Huaxia Empire needed it, it was hoped that these banks could help the Huaxia Empire, and it could not harm the national interests of the Huaxia Empire.
The required acquisition costs were deducted from the subsequent profits to the buyer, and the buyer, that is, the original banker, all turned into agents of Huaxia Imperial Bank in Germany, and in less than ten days, Tang Shaoyi completed the acquisition business of more than ten banks, and the point was that not a penny was spent! Just take out an edict and write that Alexander the Jew, who is appointed president of the Birmingham branch of the Huaxia Imperial Bank, and go to Li Hongzhang to get a seal! From now on, your bank will be protected by the Huaxia Empire!
Li Hongzhang is going crazy, what's wrong with this world, watching these foreign adults happily sell their banks like this, China has already obtained a joint loan commitment from these banks, as long as they take it out and bring as much as they want!
Now the old man Li Hongzhang didn't worry about money, the old man purchased a lot of equipment at once, not only military, but also scientific instruments, education, health care, and so on!
Many large Jewish banks did not take the lead because of hesitation, and in the end they appeared, but the famous big German banks became an embarrassing situation of a branch, which is not under the management of the emperor, you are responsible for your own profits and losses, and the internal affairs are resolved through negotiation, and someone is bullying you and telling me, and I will take care of you when the time comes!
Seeing all this happening, the German emperor's intestines were repentant, but the wood was already in the boat, helpless, but they asked China to order more warships, to protect the sea frontier of the Chinese Empire, Guangxu was very happy to accept his suggestion, in one breath in Germany ordered six new Dingyuan class warships, the battleships in different shipyards in Germany, must be delivered to China within three years, otherwise the final payment can not be settled!
At this time, his Minister of Finance, Minister of the Navy, and Minister of Industry all came, and they all seemed very happy, because their family property got a large number of orders from the Chinese delegation, which meant that they would make a lot of money, all of which was seen by Wilhelm II, this Chinese emperor was also too ruthless, with my German money, to buy my German things, but also to make my people so happy, if he, the emperor, came out now and said that it is not good, he cannot buy things for the Chinese, I guess these people will oust him, the emperor, from power!
Providence! My God! What the hell am I doing wrong!
Niu Shangzhou of the Thirteenth Taibao reluctantly came out of the shipyard in Germany, Tang Shaoyi was waiting outside, and the emperor sent a message from China; "Tell you to bring back the technology of the internal combustion engine anyway, and also bring back skilled workers."
I will definitely bring back the shipbuilding technology, this is the task that the emperor taught me, the very obsessive Niu Shang is about to return to the shipyard, and many people he brought in the shipyard are waiting for him!
Tang Shaoyi pulled him, the emperor added a task, these two things are indispensable, they have to be done, Niu Shangzhou reluctantly took someone to Daimler's internal combustion engine factory, Daimler was very happy with Tang Shaoyi's arrival.
His internal combustion engine factory, these years are still good, as long as the price of kerosene is lower, it is better, the power performance of the internal combustion engine is impeccable, but in this period, kerosene is expensive, because until now there is no main use is to light the lamp, so it is very expensive, many places with internal combustion engine will be more efficient, but it is too uneconomical, so this era is still the era of steam engines!
Tang Shaoyi told Niu Shangzhou to visit carefully, whether this is an internal combustion engine, whether his efficacy is the same as what the emperor said, and whether to check the entire production process level and learn the production process?
For the emperor's order Niu Shangzhou still did not dare to slack off, with his own people to start work, Daimler came out to meet Tang Shaoyi in person, after seeing Niu Shangzhou's actions, he thought that this must be a big customer, will definitely order a few internal combustion engines, so he began to sell activities.
Tang Shaoyi listened with a smile, Daimler thought that Tang Shaoyi was not satisfied, so he took out the products they were still experimenting, introduced his performance, parameters, and we will try to be fuel-efficient.
Tang Shaoyi still didn't speak, knowing that Niu Shangzhou was back, and he had checked it all when he talked about it, just like what the emperor said, it was this factory.
At this time, Tang Shaoyi said, what is the annual benefit of your factory?
Daimler said that we are not doing well now, but we will have a good future in the future, and the future will be 。。。。。。
Tang Shaoyi simply said straight to the point, I am afraid that the medium value of your factory will not even reach 100,000 marks! (That's the mark was very valuable, not much worse than the pound at that time)
At this time, Daimler's face turned red, and it was obvious that this was the case, but he was very unconvinced and said, I firmly believe that my career will be successful!
Tang Shaoyi said; "Dang Jean! Congratulations, you'll soon be a millionaire! ”
As long as you agree to our conditions!
Daimler is going crazy, one million, that's a number he never dreamed of!
Our emperor wants to buy this company of yours, and hire you as an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Chinese Empire, for life!
Daimler is crazy!
His lips trembled and he asked, what conditions do you have!
This German company, we will send someone to take over the management, you also have to go to China, you have to build an internal combustion engine plant in China, this factory will have 20% of your shares, and you will be the general manager of this company, before there is no chairman, you will have to be the chairman!
At this time, Tang Shaoyi took out a long cash deposit certificate, which was opened by the branch of Huaxia Imperial Bank in Germany, Tang Shaoyi said, as long as you agree, this silver ticket can withdraw the cash you want in any bank in Germany!
Are you an angel sent by God?
Where are your wings!
Sake red face, gold touching!
Not to mention that at that time, it was definitely an astronomical amount of one million marks!
Soon Daimler made the decision to go to China with the delegation to start his second entrepreneurial journey, and after that he never left China, he later established a car factory in China, and of course the brand was already Chinese at that time!
After Deng Shichang drove the Dingyuan back to China, this was the first time he came back, and the German navy was also very happy about the arrival of the Dingyuan ship, after all, China and Germany did not have any conflict of interest, especially from such a long distance, so the two countries held a joint military exercise to train the coordination ability of the two countries, learn from each other on the command of the ship, and so on!
After hearing that the emperor had ordered six warships, the Chinese navy officers and men were overjoyed! This not only means that many of them here will move into leadership positions, but it also means that China's navy will become more and more powerful.
Everyone is studying and training hard, and there is a vibrant scene everywhere!
After learning that there was such a large order, the German shipyard attached great importance to China, so Niu Shangzhou, as a technical representative of China, came to the shipyard to answer all questions, and soon the Chinese technicians became familiar with the German shipyard. Some of these technicians were brought from China, and most of them were recruited from the local diaspora in Germany, many of whom were Jews.
These people are recruited in the name of students of the Imperial University of Science and Technology, and they are not in vain in the shipyard, and different internship periods are set according to different positions, and after the internship period, they will come to China, see China's training and study, and after passing the final exam, they can graduate, and they will be assigned jobs!
The most important thing is that from the day he entered the school, he opened his salary, and he still had a salary during his studies, when these were to be assessed, the wages of different positions were different, I don't know that Niu Shangzhou was very busy at the time, and the fate of many children was in his hands, of course, this system was only implemented for a long time, and then the shipbuilding industry of the Chinese Empire has become the world's leading industry, and there is no need to send students to study abroad!
Tang Shaoyi came to the dock, he sent away another fleet, this is already the tenth fleet, their journey in France will soon be over, especially which German emperor really wants the Chinese to hurry up!
But the old man of German Prime Minister Bismarck is still very interesting!
