Zhang Yi smiled and said, "That’s all for Mr. Tian Xiali, but we still need some of your businessmen’s due skills."
Chapter two hundred and sixty Fish hook
"This …"
Tian Xiali said thoughtfully, "Mr. Jian, we have different governments in the United States and Germany. We advocate a free market economy. The government never interferes with the production and investment of enterprises. I can promise you that you will help you introduce some enterprises, but whether they will stay in Fengtian or not, how will they invest, open mines and set up factories? Please understand this interference."
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Minister, when I was a child, I traveled around the western countries and had some knowledge about the national conditions of the American political system. Indeed, as you said, your government has always adhered to the idea of non-interference in the free economy. I admire you very much. President Washington is a great politician. I hope you can give full play to your influence in the United States and introduce us to Fengtian for a business visit. I know that the business community in the US Congress has great energy, and I doubt that you will do well."
Tian Xiali’s face showed a slight smug smile. "I’m flattered by Mr. Jian, and I’ll do my best to help you."
Zhang Yi waved his hand to the pro-guard behind him and said, "Go and get the gift prepared by my minister."
When the pro-guard turned around, he sent a beautiful wooden square box to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi said, "Mr. Minister, thank you for coming to Fengtian this time. This is me. Please prepare a small gift. Listen to me. You like China culture very much and are quite proficient in China art. This is a gift that I sent Mr. Minister to collect."
Talking, Zhang Yi opened the gift box and presented a beautiful gift to Tian Xiali. Zhang Yi smiled. "Mr. Minister, this is the most famous blue and white porcelain shepherd’s wine bottle in the previous era. Please accept it."
Tian Xiali opened her eyes wide and looked at the blue and white flower in front of her in surprise. "Oh, the emperor is so beautiful. You are so kind, Mr. Jian. I like the emperor very much for your gift. This is the blue and white flower I have been waiting for for for a long time!"
Zhang Yi laughed. "Mr. Minister, because my business is busy these days, I will let Shaochuan accompany you to visit Fengtian and have a look around. Now we are Fengtian scenery. I think the investment environment must be what your entrepreneurs yearn for. I hope Mr. Minister can spend these days happily."
Tian Xiali smiled slightly. "Mr. Jian pays more attention to the fact that I hope that Mukden can let me enter the Mukden open market through business. This is what I am looking forward to. I have to say that I am very dissatisfied with your closed national policy. If your country continues to be out of the world for more than ten years, then China will be even more backward. There is no benefit in the closed country where we can share the benefits."
Zhang Yi said with a long smile, "Mr. Minister, what you said is quite reasonable. Of course, I am only a general in Fengtian now, and I have no ability to intervene in China’s national policy. I can guarantee that the three provinces in Fengtian Naidong will be open to Americans in the future, including his friendly country. As you know, our country is now backward. If your business enters Fengtian on a large scale, it will have a great impact on our national economy. We must protect the interests of our local enterprises or people from damage before I can open it to China."
"Oh?"
Tian Xiali shines at the moment, and is quite moved by what Zhang Yi said. He was about to continue to answer.
Zhang Yi said, "Mr. Minister, you have come all the way to me. You have prepared a sumptuous banquet to receive you. You can enjoy your personal needs in Fengtian the next day. The general office will do its best to meet your needs. We can continue this topic two days later. What do you think?"
Zhang Yi "cunningly" took the topic to the past and began to prepare a banquet for Tian Xiali and his party.
Five days later, Tian Xiali, accompanied by Tang Shaoyi Liang Dunyan, made a detailed business visit to Fengtian.
Tian Xiali looked at the increasingly prosperous Fengtian and marveled at it. Now Fengtian is full of factories under construction. Merchants from Shanxi, Zhili, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huguang all came here to take root and start a huge construction.
Shengjing is even more prosperous, with shops everywhere. In less than a year, the population of Shengjing has doubled from 100,000 to 1.5 million, which is one of the few prosperous cities in the Great Qing Dynasty.
Tang Shaoyi also explained to Tian Xiali the policy of attracting people in Fengtian and the industrial and commercial preferential policies. Tian Xiali was shocked. This general Shengjing is so amazing that he can make such great changes in Fengtian in just a few months. It is incredible and incredible.
Tang Shaoyi said to Tian Xiali, "Mr. Minister, our general said that it is good that in the next three years, our Fengtian population will definitely break through 20 million artificial businesses and prosper into a rich province comparable to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The market potential is huge. Isn’t it attractive for businessmen in your country to have such preferential investment policies? And this Liaohe Oilfield definitely think about the coal and steel complex. At that time, it was determined to sell to countries, and no one was interested. As a result, it was cheap by the Germans. When the coal and steel industry was completed, it would produce millions of tons of high-quality coal, hundreds of thousands of tons of high-quality steel and hundreds of thousands of tons of iron every year. What huge benefits this will be? These will multiply in the future, and it will bring huge benefits to Fengtian Nai Germany! "
Tian Xiali swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Shaochuan, you are wrong about this matter. Why didn’t you introduce this coal-steel complex to me at the beginning? It was so cheap for nothing. The technical funds of Germans and Americans are absolutely not worse than those of Germans. We will have more favorable conditions!"
Tang Shaoyi Nai smiled and replied, "My dear Minister, when our general promoted the coal-steel complex, I was still a staff member in Jiangsu, and I haven’t come to the general’s side yet. I don’t know anything about such a situation. If I can get the news like you, my general believes that I saw this Liaohe Oilfield and just introduced it to you for the first time. You must know that this news has not reached the ears of the Germans now. If the Germans know that they are greedy, I think Liaohe Oilfield will be included in the bag by the Germans, and I will not leave you any!"
"dreaming! We will never allow Germans to intervene in this matter! " Tian Xiali face ferocious bold said
Chapter two hundred and sixty-one Bilateral negotiations
When he came, Ritian Xia Lixian lacked enough interest. Although Fengtian’s social development was attractive enough, he had been disturbed by Tang Shaoyi’s words and was completely disturbed by Liaohe Oilfield.
Nowadays, the oil industry is definitely a field that all industrial powers are striving to develop. Oil is an indispensable resource for the development of machinery industry. The products derived from it are really too large, and the fields involved are also very large, which can bring the richest economic benefits to the business owners. If the Americans know that they know that there is a large oil field in Fengtian and there are preferential investment policies, but he sends news back from time to time and is robbed by the Germans, but in the end, those red-eyed tycoons will strip themselves alive when they return to the United States.
Tian Xia Li Qiang suppressed his anxiety and Tang Shaoyi wandered around. Finally, Tian Xia Li Shi couldn’t stand it.
Tian Xiali grabbed Tang Shaoyi’s sleeve and said, "Shaochuan, when are you going to lead me to earn money? We have already visited most cities in Fengtian, and we have already inspected the Anshan coal and steel complex. I think we should meet General Zhang Jian. I want to promote the US Fengtian project as soon as possible, and I will definitely seek great benefits from General Jian."
Tang Shaoyi smiled and said, "Mr. Minister, don’t worry. Today, after we have inspected Mr. Liang Dunyan of Fengtian Bank, we will get an interview with the general. I think we will let Mr. Minister get a satisfactory result."
It’s been seven days now. Tian Xiali has already returned the information here to the United States. The United States asked Tian Xiali to win the Liaohe Oilfield at the first time. The Rockefeller family in the United States will send an oil engineering team to China as soon as possible. Tian Xiali had previously asked Tian Xiali to take all the mines in the Liaohe Oilfield in the future.
Tian Xiali received the order from the country, and naturally he was more anxious. He regretted that he shouldn’t have sent the news back so quickly. Once he couldn’t get it, wouldn’t he be passive?
Now as anxious as ants, Tian Xiali tried her best to urge Tang Shaoyi without reserve.
Finally, Tian Xiali got what she wanted, and General Zhang Yi met Tian Xiali again in the hall.
Tian Xiali pretended to be enthusiastic, Zhang Yi hugged and cried, "Dear Mr. Jian, you are too busy, but it’s not easy to see you once."
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Minister, I’m really sorry that the army has been dealing with the reorganization training of the army these days and I’m very sorry that I can’t accompany you more."
Tian Xiali quickly said, "General, I’m sure that when you are in charge of a province’s military and political affairs, I can understand it. I hope we can start negotiations as soon as possible, and my visit to Fengtian will be a perfect ending."
Zhang Yi laughed. "Mr. Minister didn’t see that you are still an acute person. We will start consultations later!"
Tian Xia Li da Xi
After a little preparation, on the second day, Shuangshuang finally began to hold consultations with Fengmeihe.
First of all, Zhang Yi threw out the first topic, hoping that the US government would approve a long-term loan for infrastructure construction in Fengtian, so that Fengtian would have sufficient financial support to complete the railway and highway project, and the loan amount of Fengtian vocational talent training plan would be 20 million pounds.
Haven’t stay Tian Xiali to react and have a cup of tea. Tang Shaoyi heard Zhang Yi’s hot tea gush out.
Zhang yi startled to see Tang Shaoyi asked "less sichuan what’s the matter? “
Tang Shaoyi shook his head again and again, and he was scared by Zhang Yi by 20 million pounds. That’s 450 million and 20 million silver. This guy is really ridiculous. Even if the United States dares to lend you money, can you afford it? Don’t forget that you and the Germans lent you nearly 10 million taels of foreign debt. This guy is really in debt, and he doesn’t have to worry about lice.
Aside Tian Xiali saw Tang Shaoyi embarrassed and smiling. This guy was so embarrassed that he was able to spit out a mouthful of tea on such a formal occasion. I’m afraid that even Putian has him. Tang Shaoyi can do it.
Tian Xiali mused, "It is not difficult for the US government to make a loan of 20 million pounds from General Jian, and we will soon become close partners. We should also show that it is our American government, the German government, which is different from the German government, which wants Emperor William III to nod, so everything will be fine, but the American government still faces congressional questions. I don’t know how we know that you have the ability to repay loans like this, and it is well known that the corruption of the China government is serious. It is difficult for our congress to get enough trust. You must be convinced by our congress that you have sufficient credibility and solvency."
Zhang Yi laughed. "This is no problem. It is true that the corruption of the China government is serious, but this does not include my general office in Mukden. We punished 100 corrupt officials of all sizes for three months in Mukden, and the officials were also transferred from my current position in Mukden. Politics has become a new phase. You can also feel that Mukden is different. Second, we have successively built a coal-steel complex in Mukden and set up a bank in Mukden. I am also planning to build a military factory and other industries, all of which are invested by General Fengtian’s office. He will give me enough income to support our development and loan repayment in the future, and now thousands of enterprises have opened mines and set up factories in Fengtian this year, which will bring me huge tax revenue. In the next few years, we will have more businessmen stationed in Fengtian to build factories, and even in the future, your businessmen will develop Liaohe Oilfield. What a beautiful prospect will this be? Do you still think we don’t have enough financial resources to repay our debts? "
Tian Xiali nodded and said, "General Jian, what you said is very reasonable. On behalf of our government, I can promise this loan request with a specific amount of 20 million pounds for the time being, but I can’t fully guarantee whether there will be changes at that time. After all, even Mr. President has to talk to Congress about such things."
Zhang Yi nodded and replied, "Well, since Mr. Minister has made such a statement, I’m relieved. I’m sure you, Mr. President, will say that Congress has no doubt about this, so let’s start our second topic …"
Chapter two hundred and sixty-two Debate Tang Shaoyi
After two whole days, Zhang Yi finally finalized the cooperation between the two parties and signed the "Fengtian United States of America Orientation Cooperation Draft".
Draft articles of association such as
1. feng tian and the United States of America adhere to the principle of cooperation and common prosperity, and open their markets to each other to establish close economic cooperation;
2. The Fengtian market is open to the United States, and American businessmen can freely enter the Fengtian market, and American businessmen will pay taxes according to the current tax rate in Fengtian; The American market is open to Fengtian merchants, who pay taxes according to the current American tax rate;

The U.S. government will send a specialist to supervise the repayment period of 25 years, starting from the fifth year after the money arrives in Fengtian and paying it off in 20 years.
5. The Fengtian General Office of Liaohe Oilfield in Fengtianjing agreed to the joint development of the United States. The specific cooperation method was recently determined by the Fengtian General Office and American oil companies through consultation.
6. The United States will accept no less than 60 students studying in the United States every year to study in the United States. The General’s Office will be responsible for all expenses.
7. The United States supports Zhang Yi to create corresponding conditions and opportunities for Zhang Yi to govern the three northeastern provinces of the Great Qing Dynasty;
In the future, the local market under the general office of Shengjing will be open to American businessmen and American businessmen will be allowed to enter China.
……
Tian Xiali watched the two sides reach an agreement and repeatedly lamented Zhang Yi’s vision. If this Chinese tiger can become the supreme leader of the Great Qing Dynasty in the future, it will bring great benefits to the United States. His open policy is that the United States government most wants to see that this will be the second American who is willing to associate with China officials after Li Hongzhang!
Tian Xiali has achieved satisfactory results, and Zhang Yi is also very satisfied with the agreement.
But Tang Shaoyi is quite dissatisfied.
That night, Tang Shaoyi went straight to Zhang Yi and asked angrily, "Why didn’t you communicate with me before facing such important news from the US government?" It’s 450 million taels of silver, but it’s fun for you to borrow it. What will I exchange for others in the future? This is not a child playing house. This is international politics. If it is not good, it will cause international disputes. Once there is no repayment, even the court will find it difficult to deal with it. It is very passive! "
Zhang yi’s face was faintly ashamed and smiled. "Shaochuan, this is my recklessness. Isn’t this what you have been clamoring for?" I’ll lend you a huge sum of money enough for you to squander. "
