"Your Majesty, I have received an order from the country to discuss with you a solution to that Hong Kong. At present, your Chinese troops have entered Hong Kong, and they have all achieved de facto occupation of Hong Kong's New Territories, and threaten our British expatriates in Hong Kong at all times. We are very indignant at this, and therefore hope that His Majesty the Emperor will order your army to stop shelling. Zhu Erdian said.

Wang Guorui said: "In China, we naturally have to abide by our laws. We in China have adopted restrictions on carrying firearms, and if you want to carry a firearm, you must apply for a gun license. And artillery is absolutely prohibited, but you British actually deployed artillery on our territory Hong Kong, and there are many guns, how many of these have gun licenses? So, I don't think it's too much for us to deter rioters in Hong Kong, right? ”

"......" Zhu Erdian was speechless.

Anyway, Wang Guorui said that this is the same meaning, Wang Guorui did not recognize the so-called treaty of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and nothing happened anyway. Wang Guorui didn't seem to know about the Manchu Qing Treaty, and he completely regarded Hong Kong as his own territory, and didn't take these British seriously at all. They are directly required by Chinese law, so they are now not polite enough to directly say that they are armed thugs. Therefore, Wang Guorui still regards Hong Kong as Chinese territory, and does not take the treaty between the British and the Manchus seriously at all. It is not even recognized as if the treaty had never happened at all.

"Your Majesty, I think we can still discuss a solution. We can resolve this Hong Kong issue through negotiation. Today, we are here to discuss the business side, especially the various commercial trade dealings in the business side. We hope that you China can further open the country, so that our businessmen can come in as soon as possible to do business, and do not set up any trade barriers, which is not in line with the practice of free trade, so we hope that you can open the country as soon as possible, and then let us trade freely! As long as you are willing to open the country, then we can return Hong Kong unconditionally. Zhu Erdian said.

Wang Guorui sneered in his heart, Zeng Zhuerdian is really a lion who opened his mouth and let himself open the country? This is impossible, because China, a huge market of 400 million people, is Wang Guorui's most advantageous bargaining chip, and this huge market of 400 million people is almost more populous than Europe. Although the current consumption power of the Chinese population is relatively poor, it is more "daring to consume". The reason for this is that Wang Guorui learned the lessons of later generations and set up social insurance for some workers and peasants in advance. As for these social insurances, only China has them in this era, and there is no similar situation in foreign countries. Europe is now at the time when the capitalists are at their most rampant and powerful, and if it were not for the later establishment of the Soviet Union, they would not have realized that they should pay attention to the interests of the workers, treat them appropriately, and not exploit them too much.

Wang Guorui learned a lesson, and took advantage of the fact that the power of domestic capital had not yet risen, and set up trade unions and even social insurance ahead of schedule, as well as the protection of various workers. This is also a lesson learned from the year, although it will increase the cost of the factory, but it allows ordinary workers to have a minimum guarantee, even if they lose their jobs, they can spend some days in peace, and their ability to resist risks is much greater. Therefore, in terms of consumption, although the current income of Chinese is generally much less than that of Europeans, they dare to consume more than Europeans.

Because Wang Guorui has set up work-related injury insurance for workers, even if workers have work-related injuries while working, they can be reimbursed. In addition, no more than 10 hours of working hours per day have been established to protect the health of workers. But the capitalists in Europe don't care about this at all, not only do they have no work-related injury insurance, but they don't even have all kinds of social insurance. The working hours are often more than 12 hours a day, and some even 14 hours. There are few days off, and there are no social benefits at all. Therefore, although on the surface they have relatively high incomes, their ability to resist risks is very poor. So in terms of consumption, Chinese people are more daring to consume because they are more resilient to risks.

So China, an emerging market, is a huge fat meat, and of course those Western capitalists have always come to take a bite. However, Wang Guorui knows very well that what China can currently use to negotiate terms with the West is a huge market. This market is useless and does not represent technology, but it is Wang Guorui's biggest card. Such a card can even be more useful than your own army, using your own army to defend the country and prevent foreigners from entering. And then as long as the market is controlled, so that foreigners have to listen. They can't beat it, and they can only do business honestly.

Wang Guorui knows that it is impossible for China to surpass the West in a short period of time, and the equipment is easy to solve, but the talent is the most important. China's talent system is too weak and there are not enough people to train. So at present, Wang Guorui plans to use this market to exchange talents, and if countries that want to do business in China often have to get quotas. And these quotas often have to promise some conditions in China, such as allowing Chinese students to study abroad, and even what subjects to study abroad are also conditional.

Through the market, many things can be exchanged, especially the opportunity for Chinese to study abroad. Those capitalists, of course, don't mind this, and it's good to be able to do business anyway. With such a huge market, this study abroad thing is not a problem, so they are naturally willing to study abroad for them. And the matter of studying abroad is not a complicated thing, anyway, they have money, and the problem that money can solve, that is not a problem. And China's huge market is artificially semi-closed by Wang Guorui. Wang Guorui is only friendly to those who are friendly or have agreed to some conditions to open to Western countries, and it is still open to a limited extent. Tariffs will also be imposed on some foreign products that are easy to compete with local enterprises and too much, so as to prevent them from being cheap and too large in quantity to interfere with the development and survival of domestic enterprises.

"Mr. Zhu Erdian, you should also know that the affairs of this country are not something that I can solve alone. We have nothing else in China, a huge population is also a huge market, and we can't afford not to pay attention to it. However, I think we can talk about it next, after all, both sides have their own needs! We in China currently have insufficient production capacity to meet the needs of our increasingly affluent people. We have a huge market of 400 million people in China, and I think it's a very beneficial place. I don't think anyone can take it lightly. Wang Guorui said.

Zhu Erdian immediately asked: "I want to ask, does China secretly have a so-called special tariff list?" As far as I know, there are a lot of restrictions on trade quotas in this list. In this celebrity, we European and Western world countries are divided into different grades. Each country has a different way of dividing and treating people according to different levels. This list sets up all kinds of complex conditions, and then even determines the total, quantity, proportion, and so on of the quota. There are even 369 and so on, and for merchants from first-class countries, the terms of trade are few, and they are the first to give preferential treatment in terms of quotas, both in terms of total quantity and proportion. And the lower the ranking, the more complex the additional conditions are proposed, and the fewer quotas you get. ”

"Moreover, all merchants from first-tier countries have priority access to quotas, and you have priority to import from all products that first-tier countries can export, and you also give preferential treatment in terms of tariffs, which is more beneficial than lower-ranked countries. I would like to ask, is there such a so-called list? ”

Wang Guorui knew that there was this list for Zhu Erdian, in fact, it would not be too strange, if a country could not even find out this bit of news, Britain would have declined or even perished a long time ago. Because this list was actually drafted by Wang Guorui for the analysis and drafting of the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so that there is a unified plan for future business, and the use of China's huge market can gradually divide and disintegrate those Western countries. Of course, you may not be able to get direct support, but you can get good support.

Of course, many things start with small things, and if you can't even carry out small things, how can you gradually build trust in the future? People spend enough time with each other to build mutual trust, and the same is true between countries. If you don't start with small things to build trust, it's unrealistic to expect trust from people in the first place.

This Chinese market is to allow foreign capitalists to taste the sweetness of it. When they found out that they could get a lot of wealth by hugging China's thick legs, they didn't mind speaking for China at home. Of course, they may only be able to influence small things, but small things are a good start. Although it is impossible to say that they are motivated to commit treason, often some ordinary little things are enough to gain a lot of benefits.

"Mr. Zhu Erdian, we actually have the list you mentioned." Wang Guorui said.

But Zhu Erdian said angrily: "You China, why do you put our British Empire in the fifth class, as far as I know, the fifth class is in the ranks of hostile countries, what do you mean by this?" Fifth, the most demanding terms of trade, and even the most complex conditions, are this the most discriminatory against the merchants of our British Empire? Your Majesty the Emperor, please give us a reasonable explanation for the British Empire. (To be continued.) )
