The official signing time of the shipyard of the five countries finally arrived in the hesitation of Pa Xiali and the expectation of Yang Meng and a group of foreign businessmen.

The Pearl River channel around Dawan, Yang Meng built more than ten wooden drainage cities, the narrow entrances and exits only allow one or two sea boats to pass guò, today more than 10 million funds gathered in Dawan, pirates, British troops, or any other objects may take the opportunity to catch a handful, wooden drainage city, but also Yang Meng did for the English people to see.

The boundless ocean, Yang Meng can't deal with it, but just the Pearl River estuary, dozens of sea ships, and a wooden drainage city can be blocked, if you really want to be in a hurry, blocking the Pearl River estuary is not a difficult thing for Yang Meng, it's a big deal to shrink inland.

Not a single warship was allowed to appear at the Dawan Wharf, except for Yang Meng's armed barge, all ships with artillery were not allowed to anchor at the Dawan Wharf, and the landing personnel, swords, swords, and halberds were not allowed to carry with them.

Human rights and freedoms are not available here in Dawan, so you can either do what you are told or get out, there are only two options.

After some disputes, Pasha Li finally compromised, and with a group of foreign merchants, stepped on the barge prepared by Yang Meng, the place of signing the contract was not in Dawan, but in the inland close to Dawan, and the barge was exchanged for carriages, and the official signing of the shipyard of the five countries was held in a rammed earth barracks.

In the huge wooden house built improvised, there was a large pile of chests, all of which were open, full of gold and silver nuggets that were convenient for calculating, such a large amount of cash and silver, even European and American merchants who had made countless fortunes had never seen it, let alone anything else. A hill of gold and silver in a single wooden house. It's the talk of these people for a lifetime.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The time taken to sign the formal contract. It's not a day or two, in the near future, the headquarters will accompany you to live in this barracks, the matter of safety, the army of its own headquarters guarantees, if anyone dares to break the signing of the contract, the headquarters does not matter which country you are from, what kind of treaty the Qing Dynasty has signed with your respective countries, in this barracks. It's not easy to make.

Ill-intentioned sabotage contractor kill!

Of course, if there is a problem with your safety, the headquarters will naturally take care of it, and the signing of the contract is in the common interest of all of us, and I hope that everyone will work together to maintain the order of the venue.

After the words of the main department, everyone is with their entourage, if you don't feel at ease living in the barracks during this time, you can let your entourage bring the news out later, according to the estimation of the main department, the time to sign the contract should be at least about five days, and the longest will not exceed half a month.

This is the herb of the contract. The negotiated contract will be printed on the gold plate, and it will not be broken for thousands of years. I hope that the cooperation between us can be long-lasting, and during this time, you will negotiate the terms of the contract on your own! ”

Signing a contract involving tens of millions of taels of silver, one day or two days, I'm afraid it's too short, Yang Meng put the herbs of the contract and a few one-foot-square gold plates on the main table of the venue, and also in the venue, he chose a table and sat down casually.

"Third master, the first time we sign a contract, I'm afraid that the funds in our hands will flow away about 20 million, and the injection of 30 million taels should be a safe amount."

After communicating with businessmen from various countries, it is also an indisputable fact that the recent scandal of piracy and England has not had an impact on the shipyards of the five countries, and it is also an indisputable fact that half of the funds will flow away.

"Hmmm! Expected, this is not a trivial matter, many people have to wait and see, a year later, our fixed income is released, is the time to really sign the contract, this time it is just the home of the businessmen of Britain, France, the United States and Germany!

Businessmen from other countries should not participate much, of course, those who have mines in Australia and the Americas will not give up this opportunity.

The huge amount of capital of the shipyards of the five countries is also fragrant in the eyes of many people, and after the cooperation begins, they will know how attractive the fixed income of 30% this year is. ”

No matter how high the enthusiasm is, there will be a cooling-off period, and these two months of hard work, and the scandal with pirates and England, is undoubtedly a basin of cold water for the shipyards of the five countries, but over time, the more difficult the contract signing of the shipyards of the five countries is, the more people will inject capital after a year.

"Third master, cooperating in mining seems to be not good for us!"

Ding Taichen is a trader, and it is natural to weigh the pros and cons when doing business, and the risk of cooperative mining is too great, and it is easy to be occupied by magpie nest doves.

"In the eyes of the mine owners in various countries, it is not good for them to sell the equity of the mine to us, we don't suffer a loss, how can they suffer?

Compared with the 30 percent fixed income we promised, even if the mine is operating normally, their income is only so, businessmen are eager for quick success, rather than waiting for three or five years to slowly return to the capital, it is better to give up the ownership of the mine and cooperate with our shipyard.

It's a blessing to suffer! Taichen, our game is a hundred years of chess, one or two years or more than ten years, it is just a beginning for us, and who of the businessmen here would think of it in twenty or thirty years? Not to mention a hundred years.

Don't seek the small profits in front of us, and seek the huge profits of the mine after ten years is what we have to do. What's more, we have a foundation and a steady win and not lose business. ”

I'm afraid that many people in Europe and the United States don't have this thing in strategic vision, right? It is also difficult for Yang Meng to explain this to Ding Taichen, after all, he is separated from the Qing Dynasty by more than 100 years.

"According to what the third master said, the hundred-year chess is indeed huge, but Yangyi can allow us to grow?"

The third master's plan is huge, but Ding Taichen also knows a truth, gold and silver treasures are charming! When the shipyard is ready, it is difficult to ensure that no one will stumble.

"What does the Five Nations Shipyard do? The world's largest shipyard will also be the world's largest shipyard in terms of output, with 300 ironclad gunboats within ten years.

Ten years from now, who has the final say? Whoever has a strong navy has the final say! Which one does not accept and which one kills. Which one jumps and hits which. That's all. Get busy! ”

Yang Meng's big breath made Ding Taichen's heart chuckle, three hundred ironclad gunboats, I'm afraid they will have hundreds of millions of gold and silver! In addition to the 30 percent fixed income, the shipyards of these five countries have added a huge burden.

To persuade Ding Taichen, Yang Meng's one look is enough, but it takes a long time to persuade businessmen from various countries to inject capital into the shipyards of the five countries. The injected gold and silver are good to say, and the contract is signed to negotiate the payment.

However, the in-kind capital injection involves all aspects of things, and it is not easy to agree on it in a short period of time.

Andre, Renlei and a group of businessmen in Germany were the first to sign contracts with Yang Meng, they were all cash and silver injections, Andre and Renlei both expanded the amount of investment this time, and it seems that the governments of the two countries were also pulled into the water by them.

As for the physical investment of the two, Yang Meng directly rejected it in order to sign the contract quickly. Trade this batch of physical goods with cloud cigarettes, and the follow-up funds. It's never too late to wait for them to cash in.

As for this group of people in Germany, except for a few merchants, the rest are people from German political circles, and it seems that Germany has put their oriental interests above Yang Meng's shipyard of the Five Nations.

After negotiating the content of the contract with these companies, the formal signing began, the delivery of cash and silver, the creation of the formal contract, this contract is really a gold contract!

A gold plate one cent thick and one foot wide, made on the spot, according to the English and French letters made of copper movable type to print the contract, at least three feet long gold plate is required, the weight of this contract alone, is more than 30 catties.

The amount of funds, the signatures of both sides, are the top masters invited by Yang Meng, copying the signatures of both sides of the wrong silver embedded in the gold plate, in addition to these, Yang Meng's Nanyang minister's seal, the seal of the ministers of various countries, was also carved out of the Yang version by the craftsmen with copper blocks, and then it was quenched, and the handwriting on the copper seal was blown out of the pattern, and then it was printed on the gold plate.

This is the simplest anti-counterfeiting seal, after comparing the seal patterns on the four contracts, the engraved copper seal will be destroyed, four gold contracts, two copies in Yang Meng's hands, one in the hands of the capital injector, and the other is to be stored in the hands of the governments of zài.

After inlaying gold and silver, pressing copper seals, there are many processes, the main heir of the main heir, all of which are inlaid on the back of the gold contract, these are done, and there is another process, that is, to use glass bricks to seal and preserve the gold contract, dozens of contracts, tens of thousands of taels of gold, but Yang Meng has to bear, compared to the huge amount of funds in the contract, these gold, it is not worth mentioning.

Strict anti-counterfeiting measures, cautious contract terms, with the United States, France and Germany one step ahead, businessmen from all over the world have also accelerated the speed, it took five days, costing more than 100,000 taels of gold, the initial contract of the shipyards of the five countries has been signed, and the next step is to protect the return of businessmen from all countries.

Yang Meng also arranged foreshadowing in this matter, the escort of more than 1,000 businessmen in each team was selected in advance, the new army of more than 5,000 people, more than 20,000 people, and more than 10,000 students and schoolchildren who went abroad to study abroad, this can be regarded as an immigration, right?

Forming a merchant fleet protection contract, Yang Meng showed full sincerity, and the cost of this is also thousands, the initial signing, Yang Meng arranged the grand occasion, but also played the initial integrity, as long as this group of businessmen returned to the mainland, the original contract was properly kept, and the copy was applied to the state for safekeeping, this matter is officially over.

As for such a trivial matter as state custody, it is simply a simple matter for these big businessmen or government people, and then the power migration of these people is also planned by Yang Meng a long time ago, these big businessmen basically do not go to sea, as long as they stay in the mainland, as long as the shipyards of the five countries do not go bankrupt, for contract reasons, they also have to protect these immigrants.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the amount of funds in the shipyards of the five countries is terrifying, and if they do not operate, it will also be a loss to your future interests, and for you who have cooperated with the mines in Australia and the Americas, as well as with the shipyards.

I still have to ask you for the official procedures for opening the mine, do you have any objections? ”

Before everyone left, Yang Meng threw out a bait, efficiency is undoubtedly money, if the shipyards of the five countries can be in a short period of time, put a huge amount of money into mines around the world, for the major merchants here, there is no doubt that they can obtain the benefits of the mine one step earlier, the contract stipulates that in addition to fixed income, if there is a profit after the registration fee, dividends are also necessary, Yang Butang can put forward this matter so quickly, it is definitely a symbol of integrity.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Yang Meng began to clench his fists at everyone again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, mining requires a huge amount of labor, and now slaves are not very popular, Milican is facing such a dilemma, my Qing Dynasty has a population of 40,000, I don't know what do you think of sending a huge number of laborers from my Qing Dynasty?

Of course! The part of these laborers that exceeds the wages of the local natives is demarcated from my share of fixed income and dividends, and the normal consumption is still recorded in the cost of the shipyard.

Calculating the time, within a year, the headquarters can discharge at least more than 2 million and less than 5 million Qing laborers, as for the number in the future, it depends on the development of mines in various places. ”

A huge amount of labor, but also a major factor to ensure the output of the mining industry, millions of laborers, for the role of the mines is great, thinking of the rolling wealth, for Yang Meng's mention, of course, everyone will not refuse, the white people in Europe and the United States, will not be a laborer such a buddy, the most lacking in the mines is high-quality labor, Yang Meng's mention, but also scratched the itch of everyone, it seems that in the future, you can cooperate with this Yang Butang in the matter of labor.
