Chapter 676: Five Nations Shipyard (4)

Yang Meng's attitude was extremely resolute, the consequences Yang Meng said were unimaginable, in the face of the tough Yang Butang, after a long time of discussion, Ba Xia Li and Bao Ling chose a normal way to deal with it and retreated!

"Yang Butang, can you give us some time to think about it?"

"That's your own business, in the Qing Dynasty, in Guangzhou, the shipyard, Lao Tzu has the final say, as for you are dispensable to Lao Tzu......

Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Lao Tzu will take the ministers and businessmen of the United States, France and Germany to inspect the current Dawan Shipyard, and if possible, we will sign the contract on the spot.

At that time, if there is no English businessman to participate, what Lao Tzu just said will be written into the terms of the contract, this contract is not only a commercial contract, as a witness, the ministers of the United States, France and Germany must also sign the contract, this is cooperation between countries, not ordinary commercial cooperation.

The attitude of the two is too arrogant, what Lao Tzu dislikes the most is that you are the number one, there will be no official note from Lao Tzu in the future, you had better not appear in front of Lao Tzu.

Also, there has been an increase in the provocation of English merchant ships at sea recently, if you two don't curb it, I won't curb the military and civilians in Guangzhou, the Qing Dynasty has a sea ban, and you can't go to sea without an official document from the government, if the threat from the sea continues, Lao Tzu will directly cancel this decree, and the Qing court will not show it to be its own people for those who go to sea! ”

Tricks of scoundrels, Yang Meng's stomach is more, Hong Kong Island was deeply affected by pirates in the past few years, which has Yang Fuliang's actions, and also the credit of serious pirates, once the sea ban is opened. Countless people will go to sea. In that way, there will be more pirates. With sufficient labor, it is not a problem at all to integrate a large army of pirates.

These are all analyses made by Yang Meng based on the positions of Pasha Li and Bao Ling, which is also a normal diplomatic means to deal with British provocations, and these words are enough to disturb the minds of the two.

"Yang Butang, you'd better not threaten our British Empire!"

In the face of Yang Meng's threat, Pa Xiali, a China expert, also felt that the soles of his feet were a little cold. This Yang Butang knows too well the weakness of England in Guangzhou.

Many of the people of the Qing Dynasty in the two provinces were hungry and cold, and once the sea ban was lifted, they were afraid that the Lingding Ocean would be full of fishing boats going to sea to survive, and it would only be a matter of time before a large number of pirates were born.

"This is not a threat, as the Minister of Nanyang, I have the power to open the sea ban, as long as I simply issue an order. Guangdong where Guangzhou is located, and Fujian where Xiamen and Fuzhou are located. The sea ban in the three provinces of Zhejiang, where Ningbo and Shanghai are located, can be opened anytime and anywhere.

You also know that there is civil strife in the Qing Dynasty today, after the sea ban is opened, whether it is a fishing boat or a merchant ship, the tax revenue of the Qing court is much more, I have the power to open the sea ban, and the court also has the benefit of opening the sea ban, and after the three provinces, it may be five provinces or seven provinces, these are not threats, but the means for the court to deal with the lack of finance and taxation.

As for the threat, the Minister of Pashali threatened first, right? There are some things that the Qing court does not do, not because I didn't think of it, but because I don't think it's necessary, you two, don't make what the court doesn't want to do into something that must be done, that will not be beneficial to both you and me.

The opening of the sea ban will inevitably breed a large number of pirates, and the Qing court has no deterrent power at sea, and all we can do for these pirates is to cancel their national nationality, and we have no other way.

The Qing Dynasty did not rely on shipping, even if there were groups of thieves at sea, as long as they did not endanger the safety of Route 6, the imperial court could turn a blind eye. ”

Yang Meng objectively analyzed the pros and cons of opening the sea ban to the two from the perspective of policies and interests, for the Qing Dynasty, it is still very beneficial to fully open the sea ban, but for England, this is absolutely no benefit.

The full opening of the sea ban is fundamentally different from full trade, and it seems that the full opening of the sea ban in the mouth of this Yang Butang is one of the means for the Qing State to deal with the British navy.

For Yang Meng, the two also know a little, this rich man of the Qing Dynasty, the wealth he has, I am afraid that it is comparable to a country, and now I want to come to him to buy a large number of ordnance and ships, is to prepare for this means.

The state supports pirates, which is not an uncommon thing for England, if there are suddenly dozens of heavily armed pirate warships on the sea in the east, what the result will be, you can imagine it!

The previous purchase of the first ** ships by General Yang was at least sixty or seventy, and the muskets and artillery purchased could completely arm these sixty or seventy warships.

These warships, after a simple repair in Guangzhou, most of them have lost their traces, for the intelligence of the Qing State, the Hong Kong Island side is still very concerned, before General Yang acquired the first ship, only 20 or so left in Guangzhou for commercial purposes, it is really old, most of the rest disappeared abruptly, it seems that the Qing Kingdom, the British are not at all defenseless.

Such a policy threat is very useful to England, and in the face of Yang Butang, who is proficient in diplomacy, it is really better to face Ye Mingchen, who is extremely bad at diplomacy.

The Qing Dynasty is an extremely declining dynasty, there is nothing that cannot be abandoned, the British Empire has been exhibited so far, and it can be regarded as the destruction of countless countries, the last madness of the declining Empire, Pasha Li and Bao Ling, it is foreseeable that the affairs of the Dawan Shipyard are in trouble.

"I've said everything that should be said, two of you, please!"

Slightly arched his hand as a send-off, under Yang Meng's dictation, Xu Ziwei wrote some toasts at the banquet, and after handing over this thing to Tiffany, Yang Meng, the landlord, withdrew from the venue, and the things that should be done were done, Yang Meng didn't have the heart to face those arrogant foreign devils.

After this banquet, the news that Guangzhou is going to build the world's largest shipyard was also rumored, and the annual income of 30 percent made many small businessmen envious, and many big businessmen were eager to try, and the 30 percent stable income, the term was 10 years, and such a project was definitely worth investing in.

For businessmen from some countries, this is a great regret, and it is reported that only businessmen from the United States, France and Germany are allowed to invest in the construction of shipyards. Thirty percent yield in 10 years. Enough to lead a war.

However, these are the means of limitation. For businessmen, it doesn't matter much whether there is or not, and it is a joint venture with businessmen from the United States, France, and Germany, and a part of the profits, even if it is 20 percent of the annual income, for ten consecutive years, the future income is a lot of money.

And these are all in Yang Meng's calculations, within ten years. Pay 30% of the fixed income with Yunyan, and after ten years, if it is unsustainable, it can completely bankrupt the shipyard!

In the past ten years, Yang Meng is to continue to expand the scale of the shipyard, and after the bankruptcy, the physical object is still left in Guangzhou, as for the equity floating clouds!

In just one day, just one day later, Bao Ling and Pa Shali felt that Guangzhou and Hong Kong Island were not like the world. Under the instruction of Yang Meng, under the promotion of Renlei and Andre. A number of merchants in England knew about the two of them sabotaging the construction of the Dawan shipyard, and thus kept the English merchants out of the shipyard.

Spreading rumors, Yang Meng naturally won't say what he is doing, and Bao Ling took the initiative to prohibit English merchants from participating in the shipyard, which was said by Ren Lei and Andre, which was much more true than Bao Ling's own defense.

The next day, the English businessmen also released a word, if the matter of taking a stake in the shipyard is really as rumored, they will assassinate Bao Ling, this assassination on the surface, just to put pressure on Bao Ling, it is impossible for the British businessmen to give up a ten-year, as high as 30 percent of the fixed income.

For the businessmen of the United States, France and Germany, the participation of British businessmen is also very necessary, England's influence in Asia is too great, without the participation of British businessmen, the Dawan shipyard is unprotected, once England and the Qing State go to war, the annual fixed income of 30 percent will be in vain.

Ten years, 30% of the annual fixed income, in the eyes of businessmen from all over the world, is no different from a scam, but the news released by Ding Taichen has dispelled the same businessmen from all over the world, a ten-year fixed income, all paid by Yunyan, Dawan Shipyard has signed a ten-year contract with the manufacturer of Yunyan, within ten years, Yunyan's output is mainly to supply Dawan Shipyard's fixed income.

With Yunyan as a guarantee, the real contract is placed in front of the major merchants, and the scam is also real, Ding Taichen's Yunyan contract was taken out, and the British businessmen, mainly the East India Company, became more unscrupulous, and the pressure faced by Baoling and Pashali was almost devastating.

At the same time, the British merchants also negotiated with Yang Meng, postponed the contract for half a month and then signed the shipyard shares, Yang Meng's response was only seven days, seven days later, the contract was signed, after this period, if Bao Ling's attitude is still the same, the terms of the refusal of the British businessmen, will be really written into the contract.

Bao Ling and Pa Xia Li sent a note to Yang Meng the next day, asking for an interview, and Yang Meng's answer to such a note was also very clear, so he ignored it!

Seven days is also necessary for Yang Meng, the scale of Dawan Shipyard, within seven days, there will be a change, the water depth near Dawan and the design drawings of the shipyard have been measured a few years ago, and it is not very difficult to turn the entire Dawan Island into a shipyard.

Simple breakwaters and simple cofferdams can be built with sunken ships, and in seven days, with the manpower of the Yang family in Guangzhou, the future scale of the shipyard can be roughly depicted.

Similarly, the relocation of the small population of Dawan must also be completed within these seven days, open to foreigners, and keep it secret from the imperial court, which is also one of the safe practices.

In the seven-day wait, small interest groups were also taking shape, giving away 5 to 10 percent of the profits to join the business groups of the United States, France and Germany, and in only five days after the banquet, Andre raised 5 million francs on his side, and Renres was even more terrifying, with an investment of 8 million US dollars, and the amount of silver in the two compartments had already exceeded 10 million taels, and this amount will continue to increase over time.

From inspecting the shipyard to signing the contract, it took at least half a month, and what Yang Meng said about signing the contract on the same day was just a lie to intimidate Baoling, involving the ownership of tens of millions of taels of silver, even if Yang Meng wanted to sign the contract hastily, the foreign businessmen would not agree.

Such a huge amount of funds is also extremely terrifying for the ministers of various countries, once the contract is signed, this so-called Dawan Shipyard is untouchable!

Ding Taichen is not happy about the upcoming huge amount of funds, the more funds gathered now, the greater the benefits paid by the Yang family!

"Third master, this matter is too much!"

"Excessive? Something that doesn't have a vision! That's a big deal! When signing the contract, we fixed the price of cloud smoke within ten years, and paid them a fixed amount of cloud smoke every year, is this price! Twenty taels of silver a catty, for ten years, our contract is signed! This thing has a fart impact on us, if we can raise more than 100 million funds! Lao Tzu's military expenses have been solved, a bunch of stupid calves in the eyes of money! ”

"Third master! The output of cloud smoke is not enough! Besides, with so much money, you can't use it! ”

"It's not bad to say that you're a visionless thing! There are more places in the world suitable for growing tobacco soil, as long as we have demand, someone will plant it, and the output of cloud tobacco will only be more, not less!

Can't run out of money? You're stupid! The mother machines used in shipbuilding, the machinery used to manufacture shipbuilding equipment, and the coal and iron minerals used in shipbuilding are all owned by Dawan Shipyard.

Foreign technology, machine tools, minerals, mechanics, which does not cost money? Domestic canals, railways, and mines don't belong to Dawan?

Tens of millions of silver scared you kid stupid, haven't you ever seen money? This Dawan Shipyard is a basic industry involving all industries, even matches, cloth, these things are needed by Dawan Shipyard, think about it, the scale of Dawan Shipyard is like this, what is the population needed? Tens of millions, right? It's a small country!

Tens of millions of taels, hundreds of millions of silver Lao Tzu has also been spent! ”

Dawan Shipyard is an economic trap for Yang Meng, and it is best to pull the big businessmen of Britain, France, the United States and Germany into this trap. And this qiē is all for his Yang Meng's navy, with the help of the wealth of European and American countries, to show his own navy.

If it is possible, Yang Meng will make the surrounding area of Guangzhou become the myth of the world's shipbuilding industry, in the first ten years Yang Meng needs to seduce the big businessmen of various countries, and later, the best result is that the Dawan shipyard can operate alone, a lot of profits, what happened to the dividends? As long as the base of this shipbuilding industry is near Guangzhou, as long as the controlling stake is in his hands Yang Meng, it doesn't matter!

"The third master is clever!"

"You've been saying this lately, it's time to exert some strength, the basic guys over there in Dawan, you must do a good job when you patrol, let the new army go to Dawan in advance to be on guard, don't let people do Lao Tzu in Dawan!" (To be continued......)
