Wang Guorui quickly reached an agreement with the German representative, and it is not surprising why the Germans knew the news so quickly. As a legation in a foreign country, it is actually an intelligence transit place, this legation is an intelligence transit place, and this is actually a lice in the monk's brain - obvious! Of course, this kind of part-time work of the legation as an intelligence base is well known to all countries in the world, but no one has said it publicly. As long as you don't get caught, everyone does the same.

Of course, the legation does not only arrange some intelligence officers in the host country. Even their different legations are planting spies on each other, and there are a lot of such things. Although it was also in China, could the Germans not be able to plant or buy information from the British in China? Even if it's just a one-shot deal, it's possible. Therefore, the Germans, as the biggest opponent of the British, have struggled from domestic to foreign, and even their respective overseas offices are actually tearing each other down, and there are many such things.

However, Wang Guorui actually did not intend to reject the idea of this German, because he also planned to balance the economic strength of Germany and Britain. In particular, Germany is indeed inferior to Britain in terms of hematopoiesis, and if it does not use its own domestic market to properly "cut meat and feed eagles", then Germany's development will definitely be very slow. However, Wang Guorui knows that exchanging the market for a part of the technology is actually his own loss. It is tantamount to subjecting the people of your country to the exploitation of the Germans, but what can be done like this? You must know that Wang Guorui's domestic industrial enterprises have not been able to develop on a real scale, and if they cannot meet the material needs of the people, then the people will definitely rise in prices. Rising prices are not good for the people in China.

Moreover, excessive protection of domestic enterprises is not conducive to their development. If they completely block the entry of foreign products, this will cause domestic enterprises to produce products without pressure, and they will form a situation without a sense of worry. Once they find that the people have to buy the goods they produce casually, and even have to pay an extremely high price to buy them, it will be almost a monopoly for domestic enterprises. Monopoly, although this brings high profits, is not beneficial to long-term development. The ancients said very clearly that the ancients were born in sorrow and died in peace, especially as a government, they could not easily let businessmen monopolize it.

Opening up to the outside world and using a certain amount of foreign goods to impact the domestic market can not only bring Wang Guorui a lot of tariffs, but also many scientific and technological technologies that cannot be obtained on weekdays, and even various political conditions. In this way, those domestic enterprises will also have a sense of crisis and oppression, so that they are more motivated to move forward, instead of enjoying the protection of the government, and then casually produce some "garbage" and the people will also consume unconditionally. Therefore, trade protection is necessary, but it cannot be overprotective. When your side is in a strong trade position, you can open up casually without worrying about foreigners coming to plunder the economy.

However, at present, Wang Guorui is at a trade disadvantage, so he naturally has to find a way to protect it, but at the same time, the protection must not be too excessive, which will stifle the forward momentum of domestic enterprises. If a company's products don't have to worry about sales, then the quality of their products will definitely cut corners.

"Your Majesty, our diplomatic department has negotiated with Germany and Britain, and we have decided the transaction between the two sides together. Even if this allows them to settle these matters properly, the British have signed a new treaty of trade with them, and they recognize our Yanhuang Empire as the legitimate government of China. A series of arrangements have been made, including the handover of Hong Kong, and they will arrange for the evacuation of various armed personnel and British personnel at the Governor's Palace in the next month, followed by a handover ceremony. And they will gradually transfer all kinds of technologies, and the next step is to let experts from the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering evaluate whether it is a real technology. ”

"As for Germany, they have all arranged their various international students. They promise that the students and technicians we send will learn the most advanced production techniques in Germany. In this way, they will definitely be able to study hard, so that after returning to China, these international students and technicians will definitely become our most important industrial backbone. However, our domestic skilled worker training system is too backward, and all kinds of vocational schools are not enough to undertake the training of the most advanced technicians. Compared with this aspect, we still have a big gap compared to the hundreds of years of accumulation in Germany. Li Enfu said.

Wang Guorui's education level of the engineers of the red alarm system is really not flattering, and the teaching level of the engineers of the red alarm system is actually very poor. Their brains are all "machines", back and forth, reading texts according to the book, and then when the students answer the questions, they will also be very slow to respond, and it is even difficult for them to accurately judge what the students are asking. Therefore, the education level of this engineer is very poor, Wang Guorui does not dare to look at it, the education level of these engineers is more than a hundred times worse than the worst teacher he has seen since he was a child.

These engineers teach the mechanics entirely in cramming mode, and those mechanics are actually learning on their own in many cases. Without the right teachers, you can imagine how much these technicians can learn and how efficiently they can learn. Moreover, even if they barely meet the standard of being a teacher, then they know how to teach but do not know why.

The technicians taught by the Red Police Engineer all knew it but didn't know why. It's like the craftsmen of ancient times, they may know how to make products, but they don't know how to do it. Ancient people may have known how to make iron and steel, but did they understand the principles of chemistry and physics? They don't know, so the technicians trained by these red police engineers are called rotten, and they may be able to operate them themselves, but they are the same as those red police engineers in terms of training apprentices, and their training experience is almost zero.

Therefore, although the technicians of those natural people have also been improving in recent years, in fact, their cultivation and inheritance ability is obviously very poor. This is also the reason why Wang Guorui had to send those technicians to study in Germany again, because if they only knew it but didn't know why, it would not help the inheritance of technicians in the future. At that time, Wang Guorui is afraid that if he still has to take those red police engineers to train technicians, then what are he playing? Instead of this, it is better to sacrifice a part of the market and let 10,000 of their workers go to Germany to learn real professional skilled workers, so that they can make up for their shortcomings that they know but do not know why, and it will be of great help to them to bring apprentices when they come back in the future.

It is better to rely on those red police engineers alone, and it is impossible to build an industrial talent inheritance system, which is not beneficial to China.

"You didn't give them all those markets this time, did you? Remember, if you want the market, you have to have conditions, and it is not completely unconditional, let alone can occupy it forever, you have to pay attention! Wang Guorui said.

And Li Enfu immediately said again: "This time I signed the treaty, we will only open the market for three years each time, and we will set different tariffs for different countries, so as to avoid their excessive impact on our domestic products." We even restrict them from casually selling across the border, and they can't sell casually in non-regulated provinces, so that we can guarantee a monopoly. Of course, I don't think they dare to exploit our people too much, because although we have restricted the sales area for them, we have not restricted the sales area of our domestic merchants. If they dare to exploit too much, then our domestic enterprises will choose to grab the land. ”

"But according to our plan, the products of these foreigners will be supplied to the middle class, because they have lower production costs and better quality than ours. But they can't stand the fact that the tariffs are very high, our tariffs are very high, and they have to set higher prices. Of course, they don't do business at a loss. Therefore, there are people who do the business of killing heads, but no one does the business of losing money. All they need at the moment is to strengthen their strength, so they won't lose money. At most, they are for the middle class to consume, and we just need to seize the lower end of the market at the moment so that we can make more profits. ”

Wang Guorui nodded and said: "Of course, for us at present, the low-end market must be seized. Don't look at the low profit margins in the low-end market, but it is definitely the most important. If there is no low-end product to form an industrial chain, then the empty high-end products are in vain. Only low-end products meet the needs of the vast majority of the people and meet the needs of the vast majority of people, so that we can maintain this industrial chain. It's like a pyramid, low-end products are the foundation, but if there is no foundation, go to high-end products, and high-end products can't be maintained. The most really needed in this world is actually low-end products, as long as we firmly grasp the low-end products that ordinary people need, then we can also be invincible. ”

"We have to be unbeaten before we can move forward. Although high-end products are highly profitable, if there is no low-end to support this industrial chain, it is also in vain. ”

However, Li Enfu took the initiative to say: "This time, the emperor, you are also wise enough, and you actually let Yingde do this kind of thing to quench your thirst, that's really good." This time, although Yingde knew that they were doing this, they had to drink the poisonous wine. It seems that the emperor is the real master! (To be continued.) )
