The steel group represented by Carnegie represents the highest level of the current industry in the United States. This group of people had very close trade with the Chinese. When they heard that Xiao Lotte received 1.2 billion francs of war compensation, the eyes of these merchants were blue!

"Deeper relationships! Close cooperation! Gentlemen, let us show sincerity! The head of the East has money and he can purchase our latest technology!"

"Don't hide your own privately, don't use third-rate technology to deceive people. After this war in Europe, the Eastern Chinese have already opened their horizons. If we don't have any practical things, the business will be profitable by the Germans!"

"And the British, they will definitely get a share of the pie!"

The leaders of the industrial group are all ready to move. After all, the end of the 19th century was the early stage of the human industrial revolution and the transition period of the first and second industrial revolutions. In this era, the technical barriers of various countries are actually not that high!

Xiao Letian has experienced the 21st century. Of course, he knew how serious the blockade of technology was in various countries in that era. No country could give up the latest technology to other nations!

In the 21st century, weak countries are typical of those who have money and cannot buy technology!

But in this era, the Western powers are not very strict in blockade of technology, and the fence gate has not been completely closed. This is the best historical opportunity for the rise of the Chinese people!

As long as Xiao Letian is willing, he can get the latest technology from the United States, Germany, Britain and even the defeated France, and it will not cost much!

Why do such a special case appear? It should be analyzed from the background of the times!

First of all, at the end of the First Industrial Revolution, the so-called high-tech was actually not as complicated as people imagined. It was nothing more than traditional heavy industries such as steam engines, military industry, steel smelting, etc.!

Moreover, these heavy industries were not related to majors such as chemistry and electricity, because chemistry was just emerging at that time, and electricity was still in the laboratory!

Because it is simple, there is no meaning of blockade. It is like the various unique designs of Krupp's rear-mounted steel cannons. It did make France a silence in the war, but once the war ends, several French engineers can figure out the tricks inside by dismantling a cannon!

So after the end of the Franco-Prussian War, France developed a very famous field artillery in the history of artillery, that is, the French Miss 75

Needless to say, the epoch-making significance of this cannon was no longer the same. Until World War II, Miss 75 was an absolutely excellent cannon and was equipped with a lot of equipment in China!

It is worth mentioning that the 'Italian cannon' that Li Yunlong said is actually 'Miss 75'

Since it was very difficult to crack the technology at that time, there was no need for technological blockade. What was the advanced place in Europe compared to China at that time?

It realizes gold in the industrial system! To put it bluntly, it means that people give you the latest technology and do not hide their own personal information at all, but if you don’t have that basic system, you can’t create it!

The second reason is that at that time, there was no big brother in the future like the United States!

After the end of the Cold War, the United States' dominance emerged. The technological blockade naturally had to be monitored by this gangster boss. Only this boss was powerful would not dare to leak it out with great fanfare.

But at the end of the 19th century, the Empire also faced huge challenges. It had too many opponents, and these competing countries were naturally uneven!

You don’t sell it, but you can’t control me and I won’t sell it!

A plate of loose sand can naturally be defeated one by one!

The third reason is that due to the limited transportation capacity at that time, the complexity of the geography determines the difficulty of commodity circulation!

Because the mountains and rivers are separated by a distance, this creates difficulties in the circulation of goods. Many times, European goods are bought in Asia, and the transportation cost accounts for the majority!

Profit-seeking capitalists must control costs, so what is the best way? Of course, it is to invest in and build a factory in the target market!

Whether it is a sole proprietorship or a joint venture, as long as your technology begins to leak out, it will definitely allow others to learn, especially the Chinese, the best nation in the world!

It is precisely because of three reasons that the rise of the Chinese people did not encounter too many technical blockades. If the UK blocks me, I will go to Germany. If Germany doesn’t have one, I will ask the United States again!

If you really can't do it, go to the French library and university town to plunder books and drawings. Anyway, cultural relics can be plundered, and science and technology can be plundered!

Xiao Letian often sighed with regret, "China! In fact, I missed many best historical opportunities. In fact, every opportunity to get on the car is much better than after World War II!"

"China has indeed caught the last train of industrial civilization. If it were decades or hundreds of years earlier, history would never be so tragic!"

What a perfect world this is!

In Xiao Letian's eyes, this world is full of opportunities. Western powers have not been defeated as a solid piece. Western civilization itself is still a group of hungry wolves fighting each other!

All are opportunities. As long as you can open your heart and take the initiative to welcome this new world, you will have a good opportunity to get along with others and make profits!

Let’s take a look at a Franco-Prussian War! After the Frankfurt Treaty was signed, the American industry was completely crazy. Of course, they knew that their industrial level was worse than that of Germany. So if they wanted to do business with Xiao Letian, they had to take the initiative to ask for it and give discounts!

That’s right, in this era, Germany is the highest peak of human scientific and technological civilization, and the United States’ scientific and technological level is not even as good as France!

Let's go! Go to the East!

New York newspapers shouted deafening sounds!

Let’s go! Go to the East! Welcome the golden prosperity created by the head of state Xiao Letian!

Gold is everywhere, let us put aside our arrogance and integrate into it...to make money!

The business community in the United States has caused a sensation, and all shipping companies on the East Coast and the West Coast can be said to be hard to find!

When big merchants buy first-class cabins, they have their own relationships. They usually start from the east coast and go straight to Ryukyu, while the west coast is higher. They feel that they can be treated with face and receive the head of state, so they have to gamble on luck!

The business community began to take action, followed by the American consortium!

This era, the American consortium was not the best, but basically the prototype has appeared!

Rockefeller Consortium, Morgan Consortium, Mellon Consortium, Kuhnlob Consortium... and more than ten companies of all sizes have also set their sights on the Chinese!

The banking industry is the most important pillar industry for industrial development. If the Chinese want to fully industrialize, it is absolutely inseparable from the strong support of the banking industry!

The number of branches opened in the past was still too small, and the allowable amount of Chinese people was not enough... This requires negotiation and the head of state nod!
