Chapter 204: The Lion Opens His Mouth

"Mr. Williams, I wonder if the Kingdom of Spain has sent someone to look for you?" Henry. Baron Bessemer suddenly asked, which made Muyang stunned.

Mu Yang suddenly said, it turned out that this was the case, the British government's response was not slow, the Spaniards had looked for him in the morning, and the British came to him in the afternoon to negotiate conditions.

The contract he signed with the British government and the royal family stipulated the shares, the owner of the prescription, and the drugs produced by the pharmaceutical factory at the disposal of the British government, but it was not clearly stated that Muyang was not allowed to establish pharmaceutical factories in other countries.

At first, the British government only thought about being able to produce drugs to meet the requirements of its own country, and then the government and the royal family profited from it, but when it was operated, it was found that this drug was now definitely a sharp weapon, and all countries in the world were begging the United Kingdom, and the British government had much more room to operate, and it could exchange many political benefits, which was simply not too comfortable.

Of course, Muyang can't help it, if he didn't agree to give the big head to the government and the royal family, with his small arms and legs, he wouldn't be able to keep such a big profit.

Now it seems that the British government obviously does not want to give up its interests, especially political interests, I heard that the Spaniards came to the door, it is estimated that they also heard that the Spaniards had made up their minds this time, and the price offered was definitely not low, so they came to appease or threaten, anyway, they told Muyang that we knew.

Now that he already knew about it, Mu Yang simply put it on the table and talked to the British. With the arrogance of the British, don't think about the high title, the British are still trying to find a way to eliminate the knight, it is estimated that with Muyang's current situation, it is desperate to die, and a viscount is over.

But Spain is different, opening the earl, Muyang is confident that he will win the marquis. And in a Spanish tone. There are other conditions, which are also very tempting, and much better than the British giving you a piece of farmland in the countryside.

"Baron Bessemer, the envoy of the King of Spain has indeed approached me, and has made conditions that appeal to me, and I do not want to hide it." Muyang shrugged and replied very cheerfully.

"You promised?" Henry. Baron Bessemer frowned.

"Not yet. It's under consideration though. ”

"Then have you ever thought about the interests of the empire, which is not in line with our original agreement."

"Baron Henri Bessemer, we don't have an agreement on this, I remember that very well." Mu Yang said very bluntly.

"......"

Without waiting for him to continue, Mu Yang said: "Since I have said this, I want to show my attitude, the conditions offered by the King of Spain are very tempting, but I am British after all, and my family has always been loyal to the royal family." So, I will not betray the interests of Britain. ”

"Baron Bessemer, I would like you to convey my thoughts that I will set up a pharmaceutical factory in Spain after accepting the Spanish conditions, but I guarantee that the medicines produced in Spain will only be used in Spain and will not leave Spain. By doing so, I have only taken back the monopoly of the Kingdom of Spain. And you can continue to sell to other countries. ”

"Of course, I can take out 15% of the shares to compensate for the loss of the Empire, but I hope that the title and fief will be honored as soon as possible. What do you think of my proposal? Muyang said.

"15%, are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm pretty sure that all else will remain the same, and the medicine will continue to be provided by me."

To know. Now this pharmaceutical company has a 15% stake, but it is a lot of money, so big that it will make many people tempted.

"I'll pass on your comments." Baron Henri Bessemer took his leave and left.

Mu Yang was thinking in his heart, although this Spanish flu is now raging all over the world, and it seems that it wants to kill the whole world, but Mu Yang knows that when it breaks out next year, this virus will disappear inexplicably.

In other words, this business is only two years to do, Muyang plans to find an opportunity to reduce his shares this year or next year, and now he can exchange his shares for real benefits, why not.

Henry. Baron Bessemer went and came back quickly, and it was time to come to Muyang's apartment for dinner, convey King George's decision, and agree to Muyang's request.

"In five days, Your Majesty will hold a small but solemn ceremony for you in the palace, tomorrow the royal courtess will come to explain the court etiquette, and on the day of the canonization, the palace will send a carriage to pick you up." Henry. Baron Bessemer said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Muyang said very hypocritically, and then asked, "Can my family participate in the canonization ceremony?" ”

"Absolutely."

The next day, the Spanish envoy Carlos. Ferreira came to Muyang's office again.

"Mr. Williams, I don't know what you're thinking about." Carlos. Ferreira's eyes showed a look of expectation.

"I promised."

"Really, it's just great." Carlos. Ferreira had a look of ecstasy on her face.

"But I want to say my request first, I don't know if you can accept it." Mu Yang's words interrupted Carlos Ferreira, who was excited.

"Excuse me?" Carlos Ferreira's face turned pale, it seems that this is the most critical moment, I hope that this Mr. Williams, a real English gentleman and scholar, will not open his mouth.

"I want a dukeship."

Mu Yang's first sentence made Carlos, who was still a little lucky. Ferreira felt like she was about to suffocate, but that was just the beginning.

"I want a fief, of course, not only within the territory of Spain, but also in the colonies, but the area must not be small, similar to the Philippines and Guinea."

Carlos. Ferreira was already dumbfounded, but Muyang wasn't done yet.

"In my fiefdom, I will have complete autonomy, no taxes, administrative, judicial, and military affairs will be up to me, and that land will always belong to our Williams family and will be passed down from generation to generation."

Carlos. Ferreira's cold sweat has come down, isn't this an independent kingdom, or simply, this is a principality, a principality with complete independence and autonomy, this Mr. Williams really dares to say this.

"Mr. Williams, the Philippines is not under Spanish control right now."

"I know, he's in the hands of the Americans, I'm just making an analogy."

Spain's colonies in the Americas, Asia, and Oceania were completely gone after the Spanish-American War of 1898. In the 20th century, Spain had a number of colonies in Africa, including Spanish Morocco, Spanish Guinea and Spanish Sahara, as well as a few scattered islands.

Such a request, Carlos. Ferreira didn't dare to say yes, and he didn't have the authority to do so.

"Mr. Williams, your demands are too high, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Spain to do it, can you reduce it a little." Carlos. Ferreira said with a snort.

The so-called sitting on the ground and paying back the money, Muyang This is also a lion's mouth, first let the other party know that he is not easy to send, so that he can squeeze out more oil and water, as for the hands of Spain, to get a country on the west coast of Africa as a fief, it is indeed a bit whimsical, but it is good to scare them, anyway, it doesn't cost money.

"Some can be discussed, but some cannot be discussed, especially the last one, which belongs to my fiefdom, and it cannot be changed without paying taxes and having complete autonomy." Mu Yang replied in the affirmative.

"Well, I'll get back to you as soon as possible."

"In five days, I will accept the knighthood of His Majesty George V, and I hope that before that, I will be able to hear about Spain's decision."

After Muyang accepted the title, he was about to sign the share transfer procedures with the British royal family, so he needed Spain to give an answer before that, so that he could give himself time to operate.

"I'm going to congratulate you, Mr. Williams, and I'll take my leave." Carlos. Ferreira hurriedly left, went to send a telegram to Spain, and quickly contacted the matter, after all, the illness waits for no one, and the sooner the matter is finalized, many people will die.

And Mu Yang spent the next few days waiting for the coming ceremony of the canonization ceremony while receiving the training of the court etiquette officer. (To be continued......)
