Chapter 44 Peace talks (10)

Yang Yi did not have much hope for this negotiation to get too much money from the three iron roosters in Russia, France and Britain. If China wants to develop, it must have technology and talents, but China does not have these. It takes time to cultivate itself. When the talents are cultivated, it will take a lot of time. Now, the railways, factories, shipyards, and the three countries are competing for it, which will greatly accelerate China's development speed and will not delay the speed of infrastructure construction due to talent issues.

When talking about this, Yang Yi felt that the time had come. There was no need to continue the negotiation today. Next, let the three countries go down to compete with each other.

"Dear envoys, I think I'll talk about this today. When you go back, you will come up with a plan to see how this battle should be calculated. How much things should be taken out and how much money should be paid, you can go on and discuss it yourself. Aren't you a friendly country? You have to come up with a distribution plan first. I think the next round of negotiations will be in ten days, so that everyone will be more prepared." After Yang Yi said this, he said that today's negotiations were over.

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms have now been pissed off by Yang Yi and are all thinking about how to make more projects from Yang Yi. After all, building railways is a new thing for China, and the profits are considerable.

The railway has been basically saturated in Europe. After more than a hundred years of construction, the places that can be built in Britain and France are probably built. After all, the country is just such a big place. If you want to go abroad to other countries, it will not agree. After the railway is completed, it means that a large number of engineering and technical personnel are unemployed. Now that China is building a railway, they can send a large number of people to China, which greatly alleviates the problem of the domestic unemployed population. Of course, people come to China to solve the road costs themselves, but when they arrive in China, Chinese people have to pay wages. As for railway tracks, if China wants to build the railway as soon as possible, you have to use foreign railway tracks first and wait for the steel mill to build it. So, no matter what the railway track says, China has to make a large number of people. As long as it makes some difference from it, it can save a lot of money. As for other things, as long as it can be used as a silver, both countries will recognize it.

The Russians think differently, and their own country's railways have not been built enough. Why? If you don't have money, you have to lose money now, which is even more deadly. Now as long as China has what you want, Mihelichko plans to ask the Tsar to pay off the debt. Fortunately, there are many timber and coal mines in Russia, and it is estimated that it should be worth a lot of silver. This is an advantage that Britain and France do not have.

When the Three Kingdoms have common interests, they are friends, but if there is a conflict of interest, it is a different matter. Now, the mastermind behind this secretly makes bad business more skilled than the other.

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms were not fools, and they also knew that Yang Yi had the intention to let them fight each other. Considering this, everyone decided to cooperate with each other with a limited degree. The result of the fight was that the Chinese could only take all the benefits, and in the end everyone had to drink the northwest wind.

After some bargaining, a plan was also proposed between the three passes. The British had to divide the 50,000 miles of railway with the strong strength of the world's number one. As for setting up a factory in China, it would take a negotiation with Yang Yi to decide. France and Britain had a good relationship. The two countries joined forces to run Russia and also divided it to 20,000 kilometers. As for Russia, in terms of technology and national strength, they were not a match between Britain and France, so they had to admit it. However, considering that the sleepers had to be done from themselves, they were basically balanced. But just counting this way, according to the price offered by Yang Yi, Russia had to pay a lot of silver. Mihailitchko felt that he had to find a place to fill it. While he decided to visit Yang Yi overnight to see if there was any room for a price cut. Before coming, the old Tsar was also thinking that Russia was too big, and some barren land was idle, and he was also counting on using these places to exchange for some silver.

Yang Yi had long anticipated Mihailithko's visit. The Russians have always been good at making small moves below, but they didn't expect that Mihailithko came so quickly and they were still negotiating together in the afternoon, so they came to the door in the evening and even put a map on it.

"Sir Yang, I'm here to visit you in the evening. Didn't you disturb your rest?" Mihilitchko spoke carefully, for fear of annoying Yang Yi, and the deal would be impossible.

"It's okay, it's okay, we Chinese are hospitality. You just need not come in the middle of the night. Is there anything wrong with me?" Yang Yi also wanted to see what tricks Mihirichko wanted to play.

"Hehe, I'm here to talk to you about business." Mihelichko's tone was surprisingly respectful.

"What business?" Yang Yi was also a little curious. Looking at the map that Mihirichko was sandwiched, he felt a little excited. Could it be that Russia wanted to use land to pay off its debts? This is better than a business.

Sure enough, Mihelichko spread out the map in his hand, pointed to a place in the north and said, "Sir Yang, look at this. Our country has a place here. You also know that the country is too big and it is difficult to manage, so I want to make it smaller. Look at how big this place is, we sell it cheaply, and you will count 30 million taels."

Yang Yi looked carefully and felt happy. Isn’t this Alaska? This is a good place and the underground products are rich. I remember that the Russians thought this place was too desolate and the climate was poor, so they sold it to the United States. As a result, Americans got a big advantage. Now, they have come up with China. Of course, this kind of good thing to deliver to the door is necessary, but they can’t seem too enthusiastic.

Yang Yi frowned, and Mihirichko felt relieved when he saw it.

"The place is not small, but I know this place is very cold and not easy to live in. It should not be worth the price you mentioned, right? I know that you have difficulties in Russia, but you can't fool me with this broken place, right?"

After Yang Yi said this, Mihailitchenko was panicked. He thought this was going to be ruined, and he blamed himself for saying that he wanted 30 million taels of silver. Mihailitchenko looked regretful now.

When Yang saw Mihirichko's expression, he didn't dare to stimulate him, for fear that this kid would not do the deal, so he smiled and said, "I think you are really a person. I guess you really can't afford to pay. This is what, 30 million. Even if the "Brensky Realm Agreement" is abolished, these places were originally in China, and now they are considered as the original owner." Mihirichko wandered around the edge of disappointment, and was pulled back by Yang Yi. But soon Yang Yi beat the area again. He knew better than anyone else what it means to abolish the "Brensky Realm Agreement" and he would not dare to agree to kill him, but where did you ask Russia to do this tens of millions of taels of silver? He had to ask the Tsar and the old man to come up with his ideas.

"Mr. Yang, do you think this is good? I can't agree to your affairs. I will send someone back to China for advice immediately. If it doesn't work, you can buy Alaska and give it some money." This is what he said, but he was really uncomfortable. I didn't expect that this has been over for many years. The Chinese are still thinking about those places. Russia took advantage of the situation and forced Kangxi to sign the "Brensky Realm Agreement". Now the Chinese are here to find a place to settle the old accounts.

"Look at your country, it's a little bigger. If you want to ask the Tsar, I can wait. In short, I can exchange land for silver. But the price is fair. As for the Alaska you mentioned, I think it's worth three to five million at most. Today, let's do this. Let's sign the treaty with Russia after you ask the Tsar."

Although the expected goal was not achieved, it was a bit rewarding. At least Yang Yi agreed to exchange land for silver, which was also a comfort.

Mihailitchko, who felt that he had gained something, left before Wilson left, and the boss of Wilson entered Yang Yi's house. Yang Yi laughed secretly. It was really lively that night. It seemed that the devils had a problem of disturbing others' rest, but Yang Yi thought this problem was a good problem. He just got into Alaska and saw what benefits could be done on Wilson.

Wilson seemed to be really anxious. According to Yang Yi's algorithm, Britain probably would have to pay more than 20 million taels of silver. How can he not worry? So while it was dark and everyone didn't pay attention, he came to the door alone.

When he saw Yang Yi, Wilson was not polite and said directly: "Mr. Yang, the price you offer is too high, I am afraid that our government will not accept it."

He had never had a good impression of the British Yang Yiyi, so he sold opium to them to China and had to "care" them more. Yang Yi didn't give Wilson a good face and smiled coldly: "Mr. Wilson, it's dark. Come here to me just to say this? Tell me quickly, I have to rest if I have nothing to do."

Wilson didn't expect Yang Yi to drive people away, so he quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Yang, don't worry, this is the case. I said during the day that the British navy is the world's number one, so I didn't exaggerate it, right?"

Yang Yi really couldn't figure out what Wilson wanted to say, but it seemed that there should be benefits, so he calmly replied: "This is true, your country's navy does have this strength."

When Wilson saw Yang Yi's face improving, he quickly continued: "Recently, our country has been studying an iron-clad ship. It is not very technically perfect now, but it is estimated that it will be built soon. This kind of warship has high protection, fast speed, and strong firepower. I wonder if your country is interested in jointly developing it with us." Yang Yi finally understood that this guy is here to sell technology.

Yang Yi lowered his head and pondered, thinking about how to make more benefits of squeaking as much as possible. Wilson was anxious first. Yang Yi's hesitant expression made him afraid that this deal would be a bad thing, so he quickly offered another benefit: "my country can also consider helping your country build a most advanced shipyard, and helping to train workers and provide necessary equipment." There is one thing Wilson was right. Yang Yi dreamed of having a fleet on the sea of ​​Yang Wei, but China's technical foundation, let alone making iron armored ships, can't even build better wooden battleships. Now that Wilson's two iron armored ships are delivered to his door, how can Yang Yi not be excited? Yang Yi [strivingly restrains himself and keeps himself calm as much as possible.

"You see, this technology plus this shipyard will be worth 15 million taels of silver." This is the account that Wilson had worked hard to calculate. The railway tracks and construction and technicians could withstand 30 million taels. If you go here for another 15 million, it is estimated that the UK will not have to take out a few silver and its negotiation task has been completed successfully.

Perhaps because of being too excited, Yang Yi forgot to bargain and immediately agreed: "This is the case. Although the price is a bit high, you are also very sincere. Everyone will have to cooperate in the future. Just do it like this."
