Zhu Erdian was forced to sign some treaties with Wang Guorui, so that Zhu Erdian's face turned dark, and he was forced to give up a lot of British shipbuilding technology. However, Wang Guorui did not explain why you did not ask the "organization" for technology. After all, Wang Guorui has also been in the political arena for a few years, so he naturally knows the truth that if you say too much, you will lose. Instead of going to the trouble of making excuses yourself, you should simply say nothing. If you make excuses everywhere, it will not only not be effective, but will make people more suspicious. So Wang Guorui simply didn't explain, simply didn't say anything, and let Zhu Erdian and the British guess for themselves. And sometimes, once there is too much guessing, it can go wrong. Sometimes, there is too much information, which is actually not conducive to decision-making. The British may wonder why Wang Guorui didn't go to that "organization" to ask for technology, and they must have had a lot of speculation. At that time, they may have many guesses, and in the end they will find that anything is possible, but nothing seems to be possible.

Such speculation is the most fatal, and they simply cannot guess the specific reason. So Zhu Erdian had to sell a lot of technology, and even reached a condition for the Hong Kong issue. The British returned Hong Kong, but as a condition, Wang Guorui had to protect the legitimate property of the Hong Kong people. The land rights in Hong Kong belong to China, and all the land rights of any British citizen will not be recognized by China, and the land lease agreements between the United Kingdom and the so-called Hong Kong Governor-General's Office will also be re-signed with China as appropriate. In a word, that is, China has sovereignty over all the territory of Hong Kong, and the land ownership previously owned by British merchants is not recognized by the Chinese government. The previous lease agreement will also have to be re-signed with China, and if it cannot be agreed, it will have to be done.

All kinds of real estate such as land, shops, ports, docks and other real estate also belong to China's sovereignty, and China does not need to spend a penny as compensation for British businessmen, and it is completely up to the British government to digest and compensate for it internally. As for those floating wealth, the Chinese government must ensure that legitimate property is not violated. Wang Guorui also took a step back, as long as the British merchants did not use violence, threats and special rights to coerce the wealth, then Wang Guorui recognized. Wang Guorui, who had floating wealth or something, also acknowledged it and would not confiscate it. As long as it is legal and does not use floating money that clearly violates Chinese law, Wang Guorui has also recognized and protected it. This policy of protecting lawful private property should be observed by all countries as much as possible, and it cannot be confiscated just because it is a foreigner.

After the handover of Hong Kong, the draft agreement discussed by Wang Guorui and Zhu Erdian also stipulated that Britain would transfer various technologies to China and grant patent rights to China. Even the right to transform various technologies, all kinds of new products produced after the transformation of the future, the British gave up the patent rights. In the draft agreement, China will discuss the opening of a part of its domestic market to British businessmen, and specifically contract British businessmen to operate some industries, and these tariffs will be implemented concretely. At the same time, it will not bring a heavy blow to the domestic industry.

Moreover, Wang Guorui also agreed with the UK that their products can only be sold in a certain province, and cannot be sold in other provinces at will.

"Your Majesty, why do you want them to sell here? If so, wouldn't that make foreigners make money? Kang Tongwei asked.

Wang Guorui shook his head helplessly and said: "If you don't let them in, then I'm afraid the next smuggling will definitely be very serious." Because the people are gradually getting rich, cough our productivity cannot meet the needs of the people. Our industry is just getting started, and light industry in particular is far from being able to meet the real domestic demand. Once the people find that their money cannot buy supplies, it will also swell. Once inflation, the materials are expensive, and the people will not be able to bear it. So let them in, so that the foreigners earn some of the wealth, but they meet the material needs of the country. Once the people are unable to obtain the material needs, the people will definitely have opinions. At that time, smuggling was unavoidable, so it was better to use the huge domestic market as a bargaining chip and then bargain with foreigners in exchange for what we needed. ”

"Where there is a market, there is demand. As long as the market exists, there will definitely be someone doing that. Even the sale of heads-killing is done, so the people who will not be able to meet their needs will definitely face smuggling. Instead of this, it is better to open a part of the gap, and then we can still be controlled, and then we can also get a lot of profits! ”

Wang Guorui knows that China's domestic productive forces are still immature and must rely on some foreign products to make up for it. Although Wang Guorui uses trade protection, it does not mean that he is completely blocked. In the case of insufficient domestic productivity, some foreign products are needed to fill the void. Although this will allow foreign countries to earn some wealth, it will allow Wang Guorui to collect customs duties.

Anyone with some business knowledge knows that if there is a 300 percent profit, the capitalists will trample on some laws. If Wang Guorui completely seals the country, and the domestic materials cannot meet the demand, then this may cause a large number of people to smuggle.

At that time, Dayu also knew that it was better to block than to dredge the truth, rather than completely blocking, it was better to release a part, but it must be strictly controlled. In this way, a part of the release meets the needs of the domestic people, so that Wang Guorui can not only collect tariffs through these products, but also meet the needs of the people's living materials to a large extent. The commercial demand for materials cannot be stopped, and even if the government orders are strict, there will be many people who choose to take risks. Before the disintegration of Lao Maozi, the smuggling materials at various border gates were simply crazy.

It's also a good option to use the domestic market to buy in exchange for something. Since it is destined to be unable to meet the demand, it is better to take the initiative to give up a part, and then you can get more benefits. This is also the core of the market for technology, since they can't meet the market for the time being, and foreigners are also in urgent need of the market, it is better to take what they need for the time being.

However, after Wang Guorui negotiated a draft agreement with the British, the Germans also came.

"Your Majesty, the news of your discussions with the British, I think we in Germany would like to be involved. Since you can gradually open your borders to the UK, we in Germany also need the Chinese market. I think we in Germany also need these markets, and we in Germany can also come up with some technology in exchange. Please Your Majesty the Emperor, you can open a price! ”

For the Germans, they are more hungry for the market than in the UK. At present, the Germans are looking for markets all over the world, and if the original history had followed, the Germans would have joined the ranks of carving up China. However, the Germans wanted China, and at that time they also looked at China's huge market. The Germans had a huge productive force, but there was not enough market to absorb it. Once the produced materials cannot be sold and the funds cannot be returned, the economic crisis will inevitably come.

The so-called economic crisis, in fact, is largely overcapacity, and finally cannot be sold. There is overcapacity, and then those merchants do not hesitate to use all kinds of means in order to sell their products. For example, people are encouraged to eat their own food and consume through loans. From the later economic crisis in the United States to the subprime mortgage crisis in later generations, it is actually the result of excessive overdraft consumption.

Of course, the Germans know that this will not work, because Germany itself is only tens of millions of people, and the market of tens of millions of people cannot meet the huge needs of Germany's productive forces. Therefore, their demand for the market is simply incomprehensible, and the Germans are more sensitive and even more eager for this market-for-technology solution. If they can obtain a part of the market of 400 million people, even if it is only contracted to a few provinces in China, it will be a huge catharsis and liberation for their domestic productive forces.

At that time, Germany's taxes and revenues will increase a lot, so at that time it will definitely be able to get more benefits, and the dream of the German Emperor Wilhelm II's big navy can also be realized in advance. Germany and Britain engaged in an arms race, but their economic strength was clearly not good. The point is that their hematopoietic ability is obviously inferior to that of Britain, Britain has a huge colony to provide material resources and markets, although Germany may not have a problem with resources in a short time, but Germany's huge German industrial productivity cannot be vented, and this is the biggest problem.

If China is willing to open up a part of its market and divide the markets of several provinces into separate provinces for Germany, then Germany will not mind ceding some technology. For the market in Germany, it is impossible to find the temple door with a pig's head, and you don't have to care too much about these technologies or anything. As for those civilian technologies, they can also be sold a lot. They are not afraid of Wang Guorui's lion opening his mouth, but what they are most afraid of is that Wang Guorui will not open his mouth. As long as Wang Guorui is willing to speak, then they all have something to discuss. Isn't it just technology, they have it! As long as they can get a market for the self-hematopoiesis of the industrial economy, the Germans will do whatever it takes.

"Well, in that case, then I will also say, I hope that your German technical universities will open up 1,000 places for international students to me. In addition, at least 10,000 of our skilled workers are accepted for internships in each industrial plant, and you German workers have to teach them skills. Of course, we will bear the cost of the workers. Even, we can give additional subsidies to your technicians, which can be regarded as the apprenticeship fee for our more workers, what do you think? Wang Guorui said. (To be continued.) )
