3375 Stupid business

"Not afraid, I have confidence in our Chinese civilization! Our foundation is not only about enduring suffering, but also about countless experiences in the decline of prosperity!"

Xiao Letian almost bit his back teeth and said, "The right to distribute newspapers is controlled by our hands, and the standards for the luxury goods industry are also set in our hands. As long as we stand firm in our superiority, we will not be afraid even if the enemy counterattacks!"

"We are now poor and barefoot. Even if hedonism spreads, it will take a certain amount of time to completely infect. At least they must have rotten Europe before us!"

"This is a game that compares who will collapse first. Rich families always suffer losses. What are we paupers afraid of?"

"What's more, let's not say that the education of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism is not good. With the traditional ideas of the three schools to stabilize people's hearts, our Chinese nation's hard-working personality is not that easy to collapse!"

"Unless we are committed to death, we must erase all Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, but we are not that stupid!"

"Helpingism is spiritual opium, and it is compared to the concentration of that nation! Whoever falls first dies first, and then quit drugs well until the end!"

Wang Huaiyuan couldn't help but rub his arms as he heard the cold words. "You said that I had goose bumps all over my body. Why did I have a bad premonition?"

Xiao Letian waved his hand, "Don't think so much. When humans enter the late stage of industrial civilization, they will enter an era of abundant materials. Hedonism does not appear now, but will also appear in the future!"

"We are now making arrangements in advance, at least when hedonism is rampant, we can still control the rhythm. If we circumvent our side effects, then this control will probably fall into the hands of Europeans in the future!"

"Don't worry too much. This strategy is too huge. I'm afraid we have to put all the efforts of our three or four generations of Chinese people to complete it. We still have time to discuss it slowly..."

While speaking, the sound of a palace trumpet suddenly sounded at the gate of Buckingham Palace. The vanguard of the embassy convoy's escort cavalry had already entered the gate. Britain began to welcome the VIPs.

Xiao Letian put his bow tie in a smile and said with a big heart to his opponent, "Just do what I just said, you should have different ways of dealing with different identities!"

"Since Britain is now the world's big boos, we should have a little bit of the awareness of workers, give the big boss a face and satisfy their vanity!"

The last negotiations between the Chinese people in Europe began in the process of cupping, in intrigue, in mutual praise, and even in the fragrance of the noble lady!

Xiao Letian's analysis of the British Empire was undoubtedly very accurate, and he carried out different response strategies for Chinese officials at all levels in different classes.

The nobles, capitalists, and elite politicians of those parties have all received their satisfactory answers!

The Chinese people clearly stated that they would surrender to the international order of the Empire that the Sun never sets, and also accepted the British naval supervision. Xiao Letian even said in front of the crown prince.

Without the invitation from Britain, the Chinese future warships would not have set foot in the waters of the Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Mediterranean!

The Chinese future fleet is completely a defensive force in the Pacific region!

All Chinese ports are open to British ships. British merchants can give priority to obtaining commercial loans from Chinese banks, and British funds can also be invested freely in Chinese.

An open Chinese nation was presented to the British elite, and Xiao Letian also expressed his willingness to cooperate with the British maritime strategy!

After all, if you want me to restrain Tsarist Russia, then Tsarist Russia, or if you want me to block the United States, then the United States, it doesn’t matter!

Such a respectful attitude made the British senior executives very satisfied. This era was the most glorious golden age, and there was a kind of confusing confidence throughout the country.

It is this almost arrogant self-confidence that makes them unable to see the potential threat!

The maritime hegemony was maintained, and the control of gold was not challenged. Moreover, the obedient Chinese people also released many commercial interests for the elites of these empires to get a share of the pie.

Countless contracts were thrown out, countless promises were secretly reached under the wine table. Princess Sissi and Duke of Newcastle even became matchmakers who matched the Chinese.

The whole banquet was more like a business negotiation meeting between the UK and the Chinese. The promotion of Chinese food and Fresh Origin business in Europe alone changed the plan three times.

After addressing these obstacles, the subsequent land purchase transaction negotiations became more and more smooth.

For ten million acres of land, Shaw Lotte is mainly concentrated in the Pas, Shaq Bay, Golden Bay and Bonaparte Bay in Western Australia.

These are all excellent deep-water ports, geographically close to the iron ore, gold ore and coastal oil fields in later memory!

Although water resources are a big problem, there are some seasonal rivers here, and the groundwater system should be very rich. Early development will have certain difficulties, but it will not be impossible to overcome.

After bargaining for ten million acres of land, Xiao Letian paid a full 15 million pounds, which was already a huge sum of money at that time!

Anyway, it was settled from the French compensation, so Xiao Letian was not too distressed. Then everyone started the difficult concession contract negotiations.

At first, Xiao Letian opened his mouth and asked for a land of 2.5 million square kilometers in the concession. Such figures made the British present exclaimed a big appetite.

Two million square kilometers are one-third of the entire Australia. No matter how brave King Edward is, he would never dare to agree to such a number.

The two sides began arduous negotiations, and this time, no final consensus was reached even when the dinner ended!

Within three days, the Chinese delegation continued to bargain with the British. With the final intervention of the Queen, Xiao Letian took out 20 million pounds and rented 1.2 million square kilometers of Western Australian land for a hundred years.

During this century, the Chinese people had absolute development and use rights on these lands, and no matter how much wealth they created, they did not have to pay a pound of tax to the UK.

The 35 million pounds were spent like this, and this money made the whole of Europe exclaim that the land purchase business had changed the geopolitical pattern of the entire world in the future.

The lands in the concession that had a hundred years of concession were in 1971, and the British were still very smart. They determined that the Chinese would spend a hundred years to develop these lands very abundantly.

But never expected that fifteen years later, the Chinese discovered the largest iron ore base in the world in Western Australia at that time.

At that time, the British media said sourly that even if the Chinese discovered iron ore, they would not be able to develop it with the natural conditions and infrastructure of Western Australia.

But what the world unexpectedly expected was that with its perseverance and amazing endurance, the Chinese people sent the iron ore of Theozhou to every Chinese steel mill in just ten years.

Fifty years later, Britain could only say regretfully that this land purchase in 1871 was the stupidest business in Britain!
