Chen Dingtian quickly reached an agreement with the consuls of the Ali Kingdom and two other countries that the so-called treaty could not be publicly abolished first, but that after the establishment of the Ministry of Industry Bureau in this so-called public concession area in the future, he would jointly issue a statement in the capacity of the Ministry of Industry Bureau. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThis statement is to show that the sovereignty of this concession area still belongs to China, and this will not change. However, under the premise that sovereignty belongs to China, in view of the fact that China is still in a state of great chaos, in order to protect the safety and interests of foreigners in this area, the foreigners here have carried out joint management and self-government with "a part" of the Chinese to ensure that they will not be disturbed by the war outside. As for the actual ownership of the concessions, after the new Chinese government reunifies China, there will be specific discussions on the transfer back to China.

This can be said to be a balance between the two aspects, not only clearly proving that the ownership of the concession belongs to China, but in fact it belongs to the control of the Chinese, and as for those foreigners, they only participate in the management of the concession as independent directors, and the sovereignty belongs to China. At present, it is only a temporary autonomy, and the return of the concession will be discussed after the reunification of China.

However, at present, Chen Dingtian is equivalent to recovering the concession, and it is not difficult to recover the concession in such an era, because foreigners actually have no interests in the concession, and they have no interests in it, so naturally there is nothing to be reluctant to. They just need a place to stay, as long as they can ensure the safety of most of their lives and property, this can be regarded as relatively stable.

"We can discuss the various institutions under this so-called special autonomous region. As for the next step, I plan to establish the Pudong Special Economic Zone, so that the Pudong Special Economic Zone will be further developed and become a window for foreign exchanges and opening up, which will help us gradually strengthen exchanges and open up to the outside world. Chen Dingtian said.

Chen Dingtian's suggestion immediately surprised these foreigners one by one, so Chen Dingtian actually chose to open up to the outside world, which really gave them a feeling of "losing the east and reaping the mulberry elm". Aren't they working so hard for so long just to open up the Chinese market and strive for China to open up the country? Britain also started a war for this, but the effect was not too good, which made them also very depressed.

However, now Chen Dingtian actually wants to set up a special zone east of the Huangpu River, which is specially used as a window for opening up to the outside world. This makes them think that opening up the Chinese market is a step further, and it is actually a kind of gain. As long as the Chinese market can be opened, then this so-called concession, let him go to hell! For the sake of this piece of land that has little value, it also affects China's opening up, so this is really a tragedy, if this concession is used for these undeveloped land, in exchange for China's initiative to open up, then this is not impossible, so I am afraid that the country will also agree.

"Regarding this opening, we do not intend to open all of them directly, we will adopt a gradual opening method. First of all, we will arrange for Chinese civil servants in this Pudong Special Administrative Region and the entire Autonomous Special Zone, and all kinds of Chinese civil servants will come in to take up posts, and of course we will also hire some foreigners to serve as civil servants, and even up to deputy positions in departments. Foreign civil servants will be signed on a biennial basis, and employment contracts will be signed. If after two years both parties are mutually satisfied, the renewal can be continued. ”

"Of course, this is limited to the day-to-day administrative services, and as for those departments of the judiciary and the armed forces, foreigners are not formally employed in actual positions, and foreigners can only exist as consultants."

Chen Dingtian introduced these corresponding methods one by one, and even later there were many policies to attract investment, hoping to attract foreigners to develop and build in the Pudong area, and carry out some preferential treatment for investment promotion. To the surprise of the foreign consuls, these policies are simply too good and in line with the ideas of those who want to invest in China.

There will be discounts for recruiting some local Chinese workers, and even further if Chinese are hired as corporate executives. There are even a lot of detailed preferential policies, so that they are also surprised for a while, many of these policies are for foreign investors, to encourage foreign investment, this opening up is simply compared with the past Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is simply heaven and hell.

"Hehe, just copy the investment promotion policies of some local governments in later generations." Chen Dingtian thought.

Chen Dingtian also has his own ideas for establishing the Pudong Special Economic Zone, and since opening up to the outside world is inevitable, it is also necessary to draw lessons and not open up all of them at once. After drawing lessons from reform and opening up, we should first select some coastal cities as pilot projects and take the initiative to open up in a rhythmic and steady manner. These cities serve as windows for China's engagement with the outside world and as a filter. Avoid suddenly accepting too much Western stuff, which will cause all kinds of mud and sand, and on the contrary, it will cause all kinds of instability.

Such an orderly and stable opening up has avoided the sudden transfer of all kinds of foreign things, so that those who have not been in contact with foreign countries in their own country suddenly accept too much and feel that they cannot accept it. Only by taking our time and gradually letting the Chinese look out to foreign countries through this Shanghai Special Economic Zone, this can be called the "window of the world", from this window to look out at the world.

Moreover, through this special zone, a group of Chinese civil servants and even officials can come into contact with things from the outside world, gradually change their past thinking, and be able to accumulate some more advanced management methods and more advanced management models, so as to prepare for reforms in other places in the future.

As for employing some foreigners to serve as hired civil servants, this is also to enable Chinese civil servants to gradually achieve contact with the outside world, gradually learn various new management schemes, and gradually abandon the traditional mode of operation of the Chinese government in the past and adopt a new mode of operation.

With the training here, it can be more reused in the future, and even with the Zeng Special Zone as a training in the future, it will become the basis for training the new civil officials. In the future, we will not be able to rely on those Confucianists and scholars from various landlords in China, and gradually cut off our dependence on them, and we can further take charge of reforming domestic affairs.

This is for the purpose of overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future, and to carry out the corresponding talent reserve. Carry out talent reserve first to avoid all kinds of problems once the territory expands. This special zone will become a window to the outside world, as well as a base for the study and training of various new-style civil officials.

As for certain preferential policies for foreign investors, this is a policy that many countries have. Many of these ways to attract investment are based on the experience of later generations. Chen Dingtian hopes that these foreign investors will recruit more local Chinese workers, which will help train Chinese skilled workers, and these people will become Chinese skilled workers in the future. Even foreign investors who hire Chinese executives from Ounuo are given greater preferential treatment, hoping to train Chinese enterprise management talents and reuse them in the future.

As for the preferential treatment for foreign investors, it is in terms of taxation, land, etc., and there will be no judicial aspects. In fact, many countries have this preferential policy for foreign investors. Even the Yankees of later generations have a rule called investment immigration? You can obtain immigration qualifications through investment, and some poor states in the United States also give many foreign investors preferential treatment to win foreign investors to come. Attracting investment is not unique to China, it is a situation that exists in all countries.

"Damn, if these policies can really be implemented, then to hell with his mother's concession!" Ali Guo thought excitedly.

Ali Guo's heart was also pounding, if this method was really followed, then what was the loss of the so-called concession? If you can really open a factory in China, you can even give various preferential treatments in terms of taxes, and even recruit local workers to drink more discounts, so you can really make a lot of money. The foreigners in this concession did not make much investment, and since there was not much investment, that is, there was not much loss, so it was also not painful.

As for the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of foreigners, Chen Dingtian also agreed that a new law will be established here, a law acceptable to both Chinese and foreigners, and even foreign legal experts will be allowed to participate in the establishment of the law, but only with the right to suggest. Although it is only the right to suggest, it is enough. Foreign consuls have the right to observe foreign-related cases, and foreign legal advisers have the right to participate in the proposals. There is even an appeal system, which goes to the highest of the so-called autonomous regions, and the board of directors makes the highest decision. And there are five foreigners on the board, so the situation is not going to be any worse.

What's more, judging from Chen Dingtian's performance, although he supports China politically, he will not be too impulsive because of this, and still adheres to the attitude of opening up to the outside world, which is actually a good choice.

Especially the preferential treatment of foreign investment given by Chen Dingtian, so that this Ali country has also left Halazi, which is great. As long as these policies can be truly implemented, then not only will he not be held accountable for losing control of the Shanghai Concession, but will become a hero of the British Empire and the successful opening of the Chinese market.

"Damn, we didn't hesitate to start a war in order to open up the Chinese market, but it didn't achieve the results we wanted. But now, the Chinese actually took the initiative to open up on their own? Is it because the world is progressing too fast, or am I lagging behind and can't keep up with the situation? Although the progress of opening up is not too fast, it is at least a steady opening-up, which is much better than the Qing government's complete non-opening. Ali Guo thought.

Chen Dingtian knew that instead of being forced to open up step by step by foreign countries, it was better to take the initiative to open up steadily. Many people think that it is foreign aggression, but they do not know anything about the "purpose" of foreign aggression. Many people only know about foreign aggression in terms of their "aggression", but they are ignorant of why they invade and what benefits they gain after aggression. Most people remember how much China lost in the course of the invasion, but they don't know anything about why foreign countries thought they were waging war.

Even more than a hundred years later, there were people who believed that crows. The pieces of war were the British in order to defend those poisons. The war was waged for the benefit of the merchants, but they did not know that the British were only using it as an excuse. Humen's cigarette sales are just an excuse, their real purpose is to open up the Chinese market, not just for those crows. Slice.

As for the Nanjing Treaty, most people only know about the land reparations and the loss of judicial sovereignty, but they don't know anything about why foreigners want this. In fact, any land cession compensation or something is secondary, and the main purpose is that China will open up trade and increase treaty ports.

As for the reparations for land cession, in the middle of the nineteenth century it was not worth mentioning to foreigners at all, and it was not the main purpose, but only a means to open up the Chinese market.

"Hey, in fact, as long as you figure out the purpose of the foreign devil and prescribe the right medicine, the problem is actually very easy to solve. Even every time they figure out why the foreigners invaded China, they look like they are dancing with their teeth and claws. First figure out the purpose, and then you can actually solve it in many ways, otherwise you will wait for the foreigners to invade, and finally fight a few blindly, and it will be a mess. War is always a means, not an end in itself. Even foreigners don't understand why they invade China, and think that they are aggressing for the sake of aggression? Chen Dingtian complained in his heart.

In fact, in the middle of the nineteenth century, the gringos did not want much from China. In the mid-nineteenth century and from the late nineteenth century to the twentieth century, foreigners' attitudes towards China were different. In the middle of the nineteenth century, they only wanted to open up the Chinese market, not to encroach on China and turn it into a colony.

So it would be a mistake to measure the thinking of foreigners in the mid-nineteenth century by the thinking of the late nineteenth century. If it was in the late nineteenth century, and the middle of the nineteenth century, different methods could be adopted, after all, foreigners wanted different things, and as long as their purpose was clarified, then the right medicine could protect the interests of the state at the least cost.

In the mid-nineteenth century, the gringos didn't want to destroy China, and they didn't want to turn China into a colony. This is like the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century, people did not want to destroy China, but if China put on a posture of fighting a world war, how can you let people communicate? At least you have to figure out the purpose of the other person first, otherwise you will take it for granted that others are going to destroy you in a hurry, and then you can't communicate. + (To be continued.) )
