Chapter 202: Big Deals
I have to say that what Colt said is very reasonable, now there are no technicians, no workers, and no machinery in the whole of China, how to produce? What's more, this also involves environmental issues, the entire imperial court, almost all people do not support the establishment of foreign affairs, can see the benefits of learning foreign affairs, only Zeng Zuo Li and a few other people, and they are all in the far south of the mountain emperor to do it first, in the north to engage in foreign affairs, engage in modern industry, it is almost a dead end, the conservative spit star in the DPRK can drown you! Moreover, Guo Ye regards this military industry as the first pot of gold for his future fortune, and he is only allowed to succeed and not to fail, and once the problem does not appear.
The stakes are at stake, even Guo Ye has to weigh it carefully.
Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Mr. Colt, what you said is very reasonable, but I still want to build a factory in China, and I believe that all these problems are not a problem!" Of course, in order to be able to maintain the scale of our production, I am willing to take a step back and build factories in the United States and China at the same time! ”
Colt shook his head helplessly, but anyone who achieves great things must have tenacious beliefs and stubborn character, obviously, Guo Ye is a person who has achieved great things, and it is not easy to convince him.
Colt replied: "Build two factories, General Guo, you know, even me, it is difficult to do it, we can't find so many technicians, how can you build a factory in China?" How to ensure the quality of production? Reputation! In the shopping mall, reputation is the most important thing, and I can't imagine how China can complete the production and quality inspection of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of firearms. It's not something that ordinary people can do. Even at Colt Corporation. Such candidates are very tight, and I can't help you. ”
Guo Ye sighed, in the final analysis, there is still no industrial base in China, especially if he has the ability, there is no way to conjure hundreds of outstanding industrial workers and technicians in China at once.
Guo Ye said helplessly: "Okay." I can agree to build a factory in the United States for the time being, but I still have conditions! ”
Colt nodded and replied, "Okay, General Guo, please speak." ”
Of course, Colt knew that if he wanted Guo Ye to make concessions, he needed to meet his demands from other aspects, and negotiation, in the final analysis, was a mutual compromise.
Guo Ye replied, "First, I will send at least a hundred technical apprentices to your country. Follow your country to learn relevant military technology for three years. In three years, they have to master a considerable level of skills! Second, three years later, all these people returned to China, with the efforts of your country, to build factories in China, three years, I think, I can also serve as a feudal territory, when the time comes, on my territory, only I have the final say, even the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, also have to give me a plate, at that time, not to mention the construction of an arsenal, even if it is to build ten arsenals, those bigwigs, will definitely not be able to help me! ”
Colt smiled bitterly in his heart, this Guo Ye is really ruthless enough, he clung to the belief that China will build a factory, he is really a stubborn donkey.
Guo Ye continued: "Mr. Colt, this is a hard condition, that is, you must accept my people, and teach them with all your might, if we can't reach an agreement, I think, our cooperation can only end regrettably, I will turn to Prussia or England to seek cooperation!" ”
Colt was shocked, looked at Guo Ye solemnly, and knew that Guo Ye had already shown his hole cards, either agree, or break up!
For the sake of this firearms technology, for the sake of more military-industrial interests in the future!
Colt gritted his teeth and replied, "Okay, I promised to come down to this matter!" ”
Guo Ye laughed and said, "That's good!" One or two hundred technical apprentices, they only need you to take care of three meals a day in the United States, as for the rest of the expenses, then I will pay for all of them, can't you? ”
Colt smiled heartily and replied, "General Guo Ye, you are slapping me in the face." I've agreed to take in one or two hundred apprentices, do I care about the cost? They will be paid ten dollars a month in our America, which is enough for their daily expenses. ”
After solving the most important problem, the next step is the issue of the two sides' shareholding.
Colt said with a smile: "General Guo Ye, I will personally invest 800,000 US dollars to purchase equipment and sites in the United States, and at the same time be responsible for recruiting technicians and workers, and be responsible for the operation of the entire company, while you are purely a technical shareholder, occupying 35% of the shares in the joint venture, how about it?" ”
It can be said that Colt is already very generous, 800,000 US dollars, that is more than 1 million taels of silver, a huge fortune! Guo Ye can occupy 35% of the shares with just one technology, such courage is definitely the bearing that an entrepreneur with great wisdom should have!
Guo Ye shook his head and replied, "No, no!" ”
Colt was stunned, this condition was already the maximum limit he offered, 800,000 US dollars, you must know that the current Colt Arms Company, the total assets are only about 4 million US dollars, it is already the largest arms company in the United States, and he is not satisfied with giving him 35% of the technology shares at once!
Guo Ye replied: "Mr. Colt, the treatment you gave me has to be said to be very generous, but this is not what I want, what I want is the same shares as you!" My technology can be valued at $300,000, and as a technology shareholder, I will personally take out 800,000 taels of silver, discounted by $400,000, a total of $700,000, and you can also come up with $700,000, a total of $1.4 million, which will be the scale of a large arms company, and such an enterprise will have solid competitiveness in the world market! I suggest that we may give Mr. Warrhohan two per cent of the fifty per cent of each of the shares as a reward for him, what do you think? ”
Colt was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that this Guo Ye would have such great courage, assets of $1.4 million, plus advanced products, he could definitely dominate the world!
Colt was puzzled: "General Guo, that's 800,000 taels of silver, I know that you have just been promoted to the commander-in-chief, don't say it's you, even if it's the prime minister of your country, whether you have 800,000 taels of silver, it's hard to say, right?" ”
Guo Ye laughed and said: "Mr. Colt, this is not your concern, 800,000 taels of silver will definitely not be inferior to you, your problem is how to transport this silver back to the United States!" (To be continued.) )
