The more than a dozen ships of machinery that Colt brought back, Yang Meng received them all, and the machinery was exactly what Yunnan was in short supply, even if it was a machine that could not be used, it could also be used as a model for teaching.

Wanguo Machinery, there is also a benefit, that is, from the machinery, Yunnan can get a lot of things, see the whimsy of various countries, which is also of great help to Yunnan machinery manufacturing industry.

"Colt, do you have any thoughts on entering other fields?"

After reading Colt's manifest, Yang Meng handed over the manifest to Ding Taichen to handle, and in the hall where there were only two people left, Yang Meng asked another question that made Colt feel inexplicable.

"Other areas? I don't have such funds and energy, and an arsenal drains my energy. General Yang, your eagle language is very good! ”

If you want funds or not, you want energy or not, although General Yang's proposal is good, Colt still rationally refused.

Ding Taichen knew that Yang Meng was proficient in foreign language, and took away the translator, and Yang Meng's fluent eagle language surprised Colt again.

"So be it! I'm going to have a little banquet, one is to pick you up and wash the dust, and the other is to find Neveres and Morse, and let's discuss it together.

Come! Take Mr. Colt down to rest. ”

Yang Meng has no ability to stop the rise of any race, as long as this race has a unified voice, no one can stop it, this is the case in England, and the same is true for Millican, all Yang Meng can do is to block them on the way forward, set a trap for them, and slow down their rise.

The rise is unstoppable, but this does not prevent Yang Meng from grabbing profits from this general trend. Great Powers and Nations. The voices of their ethnic groups are the capitalists. In this world, if you talk about who is the richest, Yang Meng thinks that he is second and no one dares to admit first, which provides a new path for Yang Meng.

More than 100 million gold and silver in Xishan Cellar, countless gold and silver in Lixiang Garden, whether it is Emperor Daoguang or the Queen of England, do not have such large cash reserves on hand, if you talk about total assets. Emperor Daoguang may be the first person, but when it comes to cash, only he Yang Meng can be called the richest person.

Yunyan, Yunnan produces 500,000 catties per month, this is 500,000 catties of sterling silver, making Yunyan is much simpler than printing banknotes, taking the opportunity to rise in the capitalists of the great powers, when they rise, they are mixed with a big share, if this thing comes true. Yang Meng will wake up laughing when he dreams.

And all this, Yang Meng has to start with Milican. After Millican's success, whoever is his ally will suffer economic aggression.

The Qing Dynasty court, there is no hope, the group of scholars who represent the people of the Qing Dynasty are too limited, if there are no surrounding powers, this system can still survive for dozens of hundreds of years, but with the powers, these scholars will only lead 40,000 people into the abyss of despair.

Behind him, the country lagged behind the Qing Dynasty by a whole day, and if you want to catch up, there is no hope for peace and stability, war! When the conflict of interests reaches its peak, only war is the driving force for progress. Bloody price!

Yunyan is a shortcut, war, in addition to fighting resources, the biggest consumption is money, Yang Meng wants to pass through Yunyan, before killing the enemy, squeeze every drop of their flesh and blood.

There are jujubes and no jujubes to play three poles, it is nothing more than a white thing, using interests to tie up his three agents in Milican, and grabbing skills and profits through large investments, is the path that Yang Meng wants to take.

The military industry is the foundation of a country's national defense strength, and the Millican government will not support a foreign-funded arsenal, and handing over the equity to Colt is to give the Colt arsenal a way to live, otherwise he can only die in the long river of history.

Lacort entered the civilian market and let the group of three people slowly grow into a big capitalist who could dominate Millican's national policy, which was Yang Meng's goal.

Colt arrived, Morse also lived in Lixiang Garden, the only thing missing was Renres, sent someone to invite Renres, and Yang Meng also asked the cook of Lixiangyuan to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

There were no interpreters or servants, and the four of them sat in the painting boat and began this grand dinner.

"Today's banquet is mainly for Colt to catch the wind and wash the dust, you are in the west and I am in the east, it is not easy for us to get together across the ocean, for the friendship between us, cheers!"

Yang Meng's opening remarks were very simple, taking a sip of the red wine in the crystal glass, Yang Meng motioned for the three of them to enjoy the food in the gold and silver utensils.

"Delicious!"

After tasting the bloodshot venison, the three of them gave a thumbs up.

"This is venison, fresh venison, a fawn that grew up eating medicinal herbs, and in the cooking process, countless precious spices are also added, and it is difficult to enjoy without capital!

The huge market of Milican is also like the venison on the plate, so delicious that the three of them don't have the heart to taste it? ”

Accompanying the three foreigners to eat, Yang Meng didn't have this mind, the banquet was just a place for communication, and the real meal was the real thing.

Among the three, Renlei reacted the fastest, as soon as he heard Yang Meng's words, Renlei's eyes lit up, he chewed a few times quickly, and took a sip of red wine, Renlei opened his mouth with excitement.

"General Yang, are you interested in building a factory in Millican?"

"Well, General Yang's idea is good, I support it!"

The second to speak was Morse, who was busy swallowing what was in his mouth, and directly agreed.

Among the three, Colt was the slowest to react, after eating most of the venison, drinking a few sips of red wine, and wiping the corners of his mouth, he still pondered for a while before slowly speaking.

"For what?"

Although Colt was an inventor and a businessman, his close relationship with Europe made him more cautious, and he was also close to Europeans, but he also had a trace of stubbornness and stubbornness in his bones.

"Because of the country behind me! Presumably, in the eyes of the three of you, the Qing Dynasty is a backward and decaying empire, in fact, my opinion is the same, in order for my motherland to no longer decay and backward, I am planning a military coup to sweep the decadent empire behind us! ”

After saying this, the three people at the table also became interested. Without blinking, he stared at Yang Meng, who sighed.

"But a military coup. No one can predict its success rate. I've been preparing for this coup for five years, but to this day, I'm still not sure of victory!

To hide from the three, the imperial court has removed me from my position as a general, and the war is just around the corner.

I also made a lot of preparations to deal with the war that was about to begin. The war on the southeastern peninsula was one of my preparations for military training.

If I fail, I will leave a way back for myself and my subordinates, and the developing Millican is undoubtedly a good choice!

A few days ago, Renlei proposed to me that he wanted to cooperate in setting up a factory in the Qing Dynasty, and I said that you should be prepared to lose all your money, this is the helplessness of being in a corrupt empire!

Millican is an open-minded and inhabited place, and it is undoubtedly a hot place for investment, so I intend to transfer some of my assets to Millican. Prepare yourself for a back road!

Alas......"

Grace is a mercenary thing, and Morse's mind is at the top of the political hierarchy. There is not much difference between basic length and no length, and among the three people present, Yang Meng only needs to convince Colt.

Colt is often in contact with the upper echelons of the military and politicians from various countries, and his political IQ is still very high, and if he wants to deceive him, he can only play the sad card.

Morse invented the telegraph, and was a popular figure in Millican, and Colt was the same, Colt 1847 was definitely a good gun, and Grace was a villain with eight faces, coupled with Colt's political IQ, this small group of three was still remarkable.

"I don't know what General Yang wants to invest in?"

Yang Meng's words persuaded Colt that although he was interested in the war on the Southeast Peninsula, he was not very interested, General Yang was a figure who directly participated in the war, and there was also an arsenal in Yunnan, and this war had no interest in the arsenal of Millican's own territory.

But General Yang's investment direction is something that Colt cares about very much, not because of anything else, but because of his own ability, except for the machinery industry, he doesn't know much.

"All profitable trades! For example, in the arsenal that produces Hall rifles, if he lacks funds, I can use the form of shares to solve his financial problems.

It's the same with other workshops and shipyards, as long as they have a profitable product, I can invest in it! ”

Yang Meng's statement can be accepted by the three of them, but all the industries that make money are still a little beyond the imagination of the three of them.

"But we don't have the ability to manage these workshops and factories!"

The one who raised the question was still the more cautious Colt, who was responsible for General Yang's investment, and it was also his responsibility, and if he had no management ability, it was likely that General Yang would lose money.

"Hmmm! That's why I've brought the three of you together, Morse's telegraph company was set up on loans, and if it fails, he'll be heavily indebted, and he'll probably go to jail for not being able to pay it, so why can't we use a more appropriate solution?

If a person has a good enough project, we can provide him with funds in the form of shares, and those factories that are trapped in the lack of funds and cannot develop rapidly can also rely on the same method to invest in shares, according to the proportion of shares, and finally distribute profits.

We don't need to manage these workshops or factories, as long as their management methods meet the conditions we have set, we can use a large amount of money to invest in shares, this type of investment is what I call venture capital.

There is no interest and no debt, as long as you manage your company well, you will have a lot of profits, and you don't have to worry about the problem of funds, what do you think of this method? ”

Venture capital, although there are risks, but it is definitely a good way to grab money, with a huge amount of clouds, as long as there is a success rate, once these companies grow into multinational companies, then Yang Meng's harvest is extremely terrifying.

"That's a good idea, I agree!"

Yang Meng's words can be regarded as speaking to Morse's heart, the establishment of Morse Telegraph Company, he has experienced too many tribulations, if he met General Yang at the beginning, then his road will be smoother.

"Admirable General Yang! What is there that you don't know? ”

Renres's answer was the same, and at the same time, Renlei also had a little more awe for this omniscient General Yang.

"General Yang, you want us to be your agent, right?"

Of the three people on the scene, the one who understands best is undoubtedly Colt, and his prudence is undoubtedly a weapon for success.

"So to speak! Let's set up a Pan American Business Alliance, specializing in venture capital, and the companies in which we have a large stake can be placed under the command of the alliance, and all the funds will be contributed by me, and I will only account for half of the shares, and the remaining half of the shares will be distributed by the three of you. ”

Yang Meng's conditions are undoubtedly extremely favorable, but this aroused Colt's suspicions.

"General Yang, are there any other hidden conditions?"

"Of course, I will contribute all the funds, of course, there must be conditions, that is, the sharing of technology, if I build the same factory in the Qing Dynasty, the companies under the alliance must provide me with technology, once my coup is successful, you can also redeem part of the equity from my hands!"

"Good! I agree too! ”

After listening to Yang Meng's explanation, Colt finally nodded, which is still very beneficial to Millican's economy.

"The position of the alliance, the three of you discuss it yourself, I only look at the income, the funds can only be used now, there has been a war on my side recently, and I can't take out the cash!

Grace, Colt has an arsenal in the north, you can also build one in the south, I have a big demand for munitions, this is no problem, right?

Colt, you also want to continue to expand the size of the arsenal! To start a war with England, I need not only a lot of rifles, but also a huge amount of artillery! ”

The business alliance is done, and the rest is still the issue of arms, in addition to his own use, Yang Meng will also need assistance next, and the demand for arms is definitely quite huge.

"Yes!"

"Good!"

Renlei and Colt gave an affirmative answer, and the purpose of this dinner party was achieved, and after eating the dishes on the table, Yang Meng waved his hand and began to drive people away. (To be continued......)
