Chapter 270: Picking Up a Big Bargain! Entered the world market again!

"Hahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

"Oh, you're an emperor, can you not giggle like this!? It's a shame! ”

"Yes, Clint, how can you do that?"

"Clint, don't laugh, I'm scared of you."

"I don't want to laugh either, but I really can't help it!"

In the harem of the emperor of San Francisco, it was naturally a happy little life for the emperor's three wives, but now, Clint . . . His Majesty Emperor Li I, if he has nothing to do, he will laugh there stupidly, and even say that he will laugh when he dreams.

Come to such a pass anytime and anywhere, ordinary people really can't stand it!

As for why you laugh, this one is too simple......

Three tons of aluminum for Alaska!

Just three tons of aluminum were used, and Alaska was bought, anyone...... Well, I'm afraid only the traverser can appreciate the joke here, because this price difference is simply too much!

Li Mengyang knows that those who play antiques in later generations pay attention to picking up leaks, but this time, this leak he picked up is definitely an invincible super leak in the world!

Can Li Mengyang not know about aluminum?

The rotten street stuff in later generations, now it seems that it is not because of the birth of electrolytic aluminum technology, the empire's current aluminum making process is already very good, the cost is constantly decreasing, that is, the pollution is higher, but this is nothing, compared with Alaska that will be obtained, it is trivial.

Swapping aluminum for such a large piece of land is absolutely a stroke of genius!

Li Mengyang really couldn't help laughing, he really couldn't help it.

"Little girl, look at your stupid father. We won't learn from him in the future. "Huang Rong really doesn't look down on her husband here. It's too cautious to laugh. Just play with the kids.

"That's right, Xiao Zhenhua, when you grow up, you must learn etiquette well, be an elegant man, don't be like your father." Fiona over there also came over to tease the kids.

"Hey, Clint, I can't help you this time, your laughter is so magical. It affects my sleep with my children! "Yelena can't stand it anymore.

Li Mengyang's name for his son is Zhenhua, Li Zhenhua......

It should be said that the current harem is still very harmonious, with a family of five...... Oh, and the other two are not small in their stomachs, and I'm afraid they will be added soon.

However, seeing that this harem is powerful, I'm afraid that the emperor will be like that, this ......

"Okay, okay, a couple of wives. I went out to laugh and ......, "Li Mengyang, this emperor, hey~."

Men of the Hereafter. Most of them are a little afraid of guilt, or they love their wives and love their wives, especially Chinese men, and the same is true of Li Mengyang, this is not fear of guilt, absolutely not, this is all love, love!

Well, he won't admit it.

But just talking about this, Li Mengyang really can't hold back his laughter, there are too many good things.

The London Peace Conference has ended, and the Imperial Mission has returned, so let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the news brought by Strauss first, the matter of the Russian Empire selling Alaska is already OK, everyone has money and goods in one hand, clearly.

Three tons of aluminum for a big piece of land, this thing...... Li Mengyang really can't laugh if he doesn't laugh.

In addition, there is the issue of trade. This question naturally involves national feelings, which is very normal, and the vast majority of the Chinese under Li Mengyang's rule at this time are anti-Qing, and they do not agree with the kind of Manchu Qing who were bullied by Western powers and then forced to do business with them.

But let's be honest, doing business is a ...... The Manchu Qing side was indeed robbed by others, but if everyone could be equal and mutually beneficial, it would be clearly beneficial to do business.

Li Mengyang, the emperor, he stood at a relatively high angle, and what he saw was relatively macroscopic, which was different from ordinary people, because from the perspective of a country, our American Empire was still different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we had never fought with Russia, and we still won the war with the British.

Therefore, this business can be done completely, there are things that are profitable, things that benefit the country and the people, why not do it?

But Li Mengyang also understands that his public opinion base is inherently nationalistic!

There is nothing to say about the white people on the side of the empire, but now the Chinese with a large base, if they don't have a little nationalism in their hearts, can they come to your American Empire?

Therefore, doing business with Russia is very troublesome.

"That location is really too sensitive...... "Li Mengyang had to think about this matter." Will Alexander II bow his head slightly? No way! ”

To tell the truth, Li Mengyang is not a naïve child, he is very sure that the emperor of Russia cannot be like that Queen Victoria, there are problems and economic crises on the British side, but although Russia is also poor, otherwise they can sell Alaska?

However, the Russian side is completely different, Maozi's neck is hard!

In this way, it should be difficult to do business with Russia now, but it can be regarded as a start, and it may not have been at all before...... Besides, Alaska has deceived itself, hahahaha......

The emperor has indeed laughed too much recently, and the key is that there are many very good things.

It can be said that the matter in Mexico has come to an end, and the sovereignty dispute can be put aside for the time being. And in addition, there is the Panama Canal, which is also normal, and it is better for the British to intervene than to be intervened by the Americans.

This is all something to be happy about, and there is also trade!

Yes, it's still trade, but this time it's the UK.

The whole world is blocking the nascent American Empire, and if you can trade with Britain, the current world superpower, then this global blockade will naturally cease to exist, so this matter is of great significance.

And this trade was actually imperative, because as long as the Panama Canal was opened, and the British wanted to use it, how could they not trade with the Empire?

Of course Li Mengyang can see it. This is a list of means. The Brits may have thought about it a long time ago. But the specific implementation. Therein lies the issue of tariffs.

The British are smart, how long have they been doing business internationally, and they are definitely at the level of teachers in this regard. And Li Mengyang is not stupid, anyway, it is impossible for him to hand over the tariffs to a ...... like the Manchu Qing Well, no one is using it now, and Li Mengyang is ready to hand over this matter to Strauss to deal with. It is to let him go to the director of customs.

But Strauss, not a foreigner, really not...... Ethnic plots...... Speaking of tax rates, Li Mengyang is ready to implement an average tax rate of 20%!

The level of 20% is low compared to the United States of America, which means that it is competitive, to put it bluntly, Li Mengyang wants to grab the business between the United Kingdom and the United States, but there are also dangers in it!

The British industrial system is very well-developed, and in this era. Britain is at the top end of industrial technology, which Li Mengyang admits. But however, we in the American Empire also have a chance.

This opportunity lies in the internal combustion engine, in the power industry!

That's right, Li Mengyang's previous vigorous layout of these two industries is a large part of the factor is to prepare for the future.

And don't forget, there is also the emerging oil industry, the hosiery industry, and the medical ...... Anyway, if there is really a business war with the British in the future, Li Mengyang feels that the empire is not without opportunities.

In the near future, Li Mengyang will wrestle with the most powerful business empire in the world today, this matter, hehehe, it's exciting to think about it!

It can be said that a London Peace Conference has brought a lot of opportunities to the empire, and at the same time, the situation of the whole world has undergone some changes, and the empire will have the opportunity to truly participate in the market system of the world......

Although there are thousands of people, I will go!

Of course, it's not all good news, for example, between the empire and the United States of America, there is no good intention, everyone is still hostile, you talk about yours, I talk about mine, it's basically chicken and duck talk, however, there is also a railway plan, but it has to wait for the US Congress to discuss, although in Li Mengyang's view, the result should be to build this railway, Li Mengyang summed up that we can start construction first......

Naturally, there is no good news with France, and everyone can talk about business, but the French are very arrogant, hey~

However, there is another thing that has attracted Li Mengyang's attention, that is, the matter between France and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The French army arrived in Vietnam and threatened the Qing court, and at the London Peace Conference, the French asked for Taiwan!

As soon as he heard about Taiwan, Li Mengyang naturally thought of the later "Treaty of Shimonoseki", but in fact, the relationship between France and the Manchu Qing Dynasty made Li Mengyang think of the Sino-French War.

But you must know that this is more than 20 years later, but now this is happening, is it that I am a time-traveler who has caused a butterfly effect in the whole history?

I'm afraid it can only be explained in this way, but Taiwan ......

After learning the news, Li Mengyang hurriedly found someone to understand the current situation in Taiwan, because in his mind, the history of Taiwan in this period was very, very small, and many of the original historical records began after the Sino-French War when Liu Mingchuan ruled Taiwan.

It stands to reason that if you want to understand Taiwan, you have to wait for half a year, there is no way to do this year, go by boat, come back by boat, you can't be fast, but it is very surprising that Li Mengyang, the emperor, only took more than a month to get the first information!

Why is that?

This information is from the United States of America!

After reading the information, you can understand that it turned out that it was the Americans who had bad intentions towards Taiwan at the beginning!

The first is the American Perry, the guy who opened the door to Japan, and he actually wants to occupy Taiwan. The second is Harris, this guy wants to buy Taiwan...... Anyway, the means are endless.

They all saw one thing, that is, Taiwan is actually very rich now!

Li Mengyang really doesn't know this history, but now that he looks at it, it seems that no one is stupid, and he knows how to pick a good place!

So, Li Mengyang, a traverser, he wants to know, can the Manchus hold Taiwan? So will the French be able to achieve their ends? (To be continued......)
