Chapter 163: Turning His Head and Selling It
Two days after the parade ended, the ministers of all countries had to go back as much as they could, and then relay the news to the country. Because the Taiwan Navy has warships with a displacement of almost 90,000 tons, this is also among the top in the world. This displacement is enough to rank among the top eight in the world, so everyone cannot ignore Taiwan's power. Moreover, the hit rate of those shells tested by the Navy is almost against the sky, which makes many people feel afraid. Because of the high hit rate, which means that one warship can be used as several warships, so who doesn't worry about the enemy and themselves? And they hope to pass this news back to China as much as possible, so that they can also make a decision in China, whether to befriend Taiwan or kill it, this is also a matter to be solved.
"Lord Governor, we meet again!" Haijing said.
And Wang Guorui looked at this person, and immediately felt a little surprised, and then this German minister Haijing has only been away for two days, why did he come back? I'm afraid he didn't return to Beijing at all, and for some reason he turned around and came back, which is really incredible.
"Minister Haijing, do you have something to do?" Wang Guorui asked.
And Hai Jing didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "I heard that Taiwan has a full set of design drawings for Sovereign-class battleships, isn't that so?" ”
"Oh? Where did you hear that? Wang Guorui asked rhetorically.
"We have people next to Dou Nale!" Haijing replied.
Wang Guorui understood that these foreign devils planted people in each other's legations to spy on other people's diplomatic secrets. And this Englishman didn't know which link went wrong, so he exposed his deal with them. Wang Guorui used this drawing to blackmail the British and force them to give him a hush money. And this money is 50,000 pounds, and it is more than 250,000 taels in silver, which is not a small amount. It is enough for Wang Guorui to buy two 5,000-ton cruisers. But. This is based on the price inside the Red Alert base, not the market price of the outside building.
However, Wang Guorui did not have the idea of adding cruisers for a short time, and in order to appease the British, Wang Guorui also agreed to use it to purchase goods from the British, so that part of the money could flow back to the British government through guò taxes and would not be taken out of the UK. This made the British feel a lot better. At least there was no outflow of funds.
"Governor Wang Guorui, if you have this drawing, please open a suitable price, I want to buy this drawing. If you want, you can also get the friendship of our Germans. Haijing said.
Haijing also wants to buy the design drawings of the British's Sovereign-class battleship, which can be used to analyze the weaknesses of the British's Sovereign-class battleship, and then carry out targeted battleship research and development, and then carry out restraint. And the design drawings of such battleships can be said to be the highest intellectual essence of a country's industry, and they are also very valuable things, so the Germans also want to get these drawings. Then improve the design level of their own domestic warship designers, so that their country's warship design can be taken to a higher level.
"How much are you willing to pay?" Wang Guorui asked.
"A mark worth 100,000 pounds, but we're going to pay for it with the actual product!" Haijing said.
Haijing, a foreign devil, is not stupid, he actually knows that he has to learn from it, and directly uses his own domestic products to compensate. This will not only stimulate the domestic economy, but also avoid the outflow of funds, and the money can be returned to the government in the form of some taxes, so that the cost is not as huge as imagined.
But for Wang Guorui. It's all worth it, it's just a design drawing. It would also be nice to be able to exchange it for a mark worth 100,000 pounds. The Germans obviously knew about their dealings with the British, and they doubled the price very much, which could also make Wang Guorui tempted. With this money, it will be able to purchase a large amount of industrial equipment and then develop its own industrial strength on the island of Taiwan.
"It's a pity that I'm too hot to say yes to the British. Then I can't break my word. Taiwan is a place of credibility and must not be sold. After all, we Chinese spit on a nail, and we must not do such a back-to-mouth thing! Wang Guorui said righteously.
And Haijing felt a little frowned, this did not conform to Wang Guorui's attitude in their investigation, when did Wang Guorui become so "disciplined"? You must know that according to Haijing's investigation. This kingdom is a guy who reaches out in a coffin - a dead guy who wants money. But now he is not moved by a large amount of industrial materials, which makes Haijing feel surprised. Hai Jingdu felt that Wang Guorui had really changed his sex, and it was really strange to see that such a large sum of money was not moved. However, Hai Jing thinks that Wang Guorui will inevitably have the following, and what he will do next is what Hai Jing cares about.
"Well, although I can't take it out and sell it, my agreement with the British doesn't say that I can't give it to others! I, Wang Guorui and Mr. Haijing, you are friends, and you are very good friends, and you are really good friends who are too fat in a pair of pants. So I have no problem sending you some gifts, we are free to carry out friendly exchanges for the friendship between the two sides, so I will give you some warship blueprints as gifts. Of course, this one is given to you for free. And you, as a good friend, also gave me some industrial products, and then I can set up an industrial production company by myself. Remember, we're all gratuitous gifts, not trades! Wang Guorui said.
Haijing really almost fainted, this kingdom Ruike is really insidious enough, and he actually exploited the contract loophole. Wang Guorui's agreement with the British was not to sell the drawings to others, but there was no agreement that they could not give them away. Therefore, Wang Guorui gave it to the Germans "free of charge", and then the Germans also gave Wang Guorui some industrial equipment "free of charge", so that Wang Guorui can be regarded as having established an industrial industry by himself, isn't it a good way to circumvent the terms of this contract? Anyway, it was not a transaction between them, it was just a friendly gift to each other, and it was not within the scope of Wang Guorui and the British.
"Is this the legendary Chinese hypocrisy?" Hai Jing thought with some surprise in his heart.
Haijing found that he didn't know much about Wang Guorui, and Wang Guorui actually exploited the loophole in the contract again, and then made a profit for himself. And this kind of drilling loopholes should be something that only Westerners do, but now Wang Guorui has also perfected this kind of play, and he is so ruthless in exploiting loopholes. However, this has nothing to do with Haijing, as long as he knows that his mission has been successful, it can be regarded as a task assigned by the country.
And Haijing soon reached a relevant agreement with Wang Guorui, and then Haijing left satisfied. And this time, Wang Guorui once again obtained industrial equipment worth 100,000 pounds, and it can be said that he sold it at both ends, so that he got 150,000 pounds of materials, which is just a design drawing.
This kind of design drawing can also be printed by the advanced printer of the red police system in the red police base, and it does not require too many complicated processes. And all kinds of design drawings can be printed by themselves, as long as there are things in the world, they can also print design drawings. This is also the anti-heaven place of the Red Police Base, which can be used at any time according to the development and changes of this era, and then get the corresponding drawings to print, and then Wang Guorui can produce it himself. If it weren't for the scruples of having a patent, he wouldn't have been afraid at all, and he would directly mass-produce and use quantity to subdue others.
And Wang Guorui thinks that the British can only silently suffer a dumb loss, after all, do the British still have the courage to come and attack themselves? Although the British navy was very strong, they had to defend many places, and it was impossible for them to be unafraid of being sent to attack them. And its own navy is not weak, if Britain just sent a detachment to attack, then it is not certain who will die! Therefore, Wang Guorui will not be afraid of the British navy at all, and it is impossible for the British navy to be sent over.
What's more, if the British can defeat their own navy in the future, then their army will be a soft persimmon. Judging from the later Boer War, the combat effectiveness of the British army was even worse than that of the Japanese, and they even suffered heavy losses in the Boer War, which is obviously blood-vomiting. So Wang Guorui can be sure that the British will not go to war with themselves for this design, and can only grit their teeth and swallow it. Once the British went to war, how many lives would they have to pay to conquer Taiwan? I'm afraid that without the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it would be impossible to conquer Taiwan. For the sake of a "small" Taiwan, they can't lose more than they gain, after all, they are capitalist, and everything has to pay attention to costs and benefits, and war is even more so.
As for whether this will cause the British to think that Wang Guorui is a person who is not trustworthy, this Wang Guorui is not too concerned. Because international contracts are actually maintained by strength, if the strength is not good, then you don't expect the enemy to tell you about your reputation, so the British will not completely fall out with Wang Guorui for this matter, and can only pinch their noses and admit it. And Wang Guorui himself gained great benefits, and then made his own industrial development in Taiwan faster. (To be continued......)
