Chapter 277 The Qing court jumped over the wall
What Yang Hao came up with is a typical "joint venture factory building" agreement.
The 100,000 sets of individual soldiers' equipment and weapons are just an introduction. The foreigners care more about other products. They must only need production technology and do not want to buy products.
In this era, as long as you get involved in something with "new technology", it will be huge profits. Yang Hao can produce thousands of kinds, as long as they have the ability to digest it, they can open up the market.
However, if they want to obtain technology, they would not work with their usual tricks of taking advantage of themselves. Even if they now know that Yang's nest is in a small place, no one thinks that it is the birthplace of all products. There is nothing else, the time is too short, and it is too late to build a factory.
If you can't find the bottom line, find the source, and even the production workers don't know where they are, they can't steal patents and designs. The only way is to cooperate with Yang Hao.
The request made by Yang Hao seems to be very simple. Which product you want, you can build a factory in China first.
The factory they fooled was not just a casual factory. It must be built in accordance with the design requirements given by Yang Hao. The equipment inside was the best that the foreigners could provide, and they must provide all the engineering and technical personnel.
The main function of these factories is to lead apprentices and cultivate talents for China.
Yang Hao explained the whole idea to everyone and concluded: "By relying on the industrial equipment provided by the great powers and personnel training from construction, we can establish a complete set of basic industrial systems in a very short time. What is more important is talents with basic knowledge. After that, further improvements are made to them, we can form our own, real industrial power!"
Let’s not talk about whether his plan can be successful. Everyone expressed great appreciation for this plan.
Liang Yanqing, the comprador of Jardine Wong Foreign Company, sighed sincerely: "I only know what to do the Westernization business today. The court has been preparing for more than 20 years and has been at the level of ‘use’. I have never thought of working hard on the basis of ‘reason’. This is why I have been controlled by others. Now, with Mr. Yang’s planning, a few years later, China can truly compete with the great powers in industry!"
Zheng Yizhi from another sporting foreign company nodded repeatedly: "That's right! Unexpectedly, one day, foreigners must seek us. With our Chinese intelligence and wisdom, we will never achieve something weaker than them. It's a happy congratulation. It's a happy congratulation!"
A large group of comprador merchants cheered in a mess, and I don’t know how many of them were sincere. However, for at least a few months, all the projects they had mixed in have made money, which also added a lot of confidence.
Yang Hao has never trusted the integrity of merchants and compradors. There will definitely be many real industrialists in China, but it may not necessarily be found in this group of people. Those who are familiar with comprador businesses have been accustomed to huge profits between buying low and selling low. At the same time, they are also best at using the power of foreigners to fool unsavvy domestic officials with the little foreign knowledge they have mastered. Now they are forced to take the industrial route and they will turn around immediately. Who believes it!
However, Yang Hao is not in a hurry. He has some things now to lure these people into benefits. After all, these people are currently the group with the broadest vision, the most flexible brain and the most courageous. If you use them well, it will also bring great initial convenience.
Therefore, after they expressed their feelings, Yang Hao said meaningfully: "I hope that in the near future, you can rely on your years of experience in dealing with foreigners to sell the goods produced by our China to the territory of foreign devils! You can earn back ten times the money they earned from here! This is the courage that a businessman of a great country should have!"
"Yes, yes! Mr. Yang said very well!"
"It should be true. In the past, foreigners were swaying on our land, but now we have to take the opportunity to return it. We don't lack arms or legs. Why do we have to eat their soup?"
"I think it's OK. We have no tough guys in our hands. Why are we always controlled by others? We Chinese learn everything quickly. I guess it will be almost done after three or five years."
Regardless of whether it is true or false, Yang Hao's conclusion won praise and praise.
Next, they began to determine the basic principles for the upcoming negotiations with various countries, formulate the content of the negotiations, agree on the details of the conditions, select representatives, and conduct synchronous news reports, and public opinion propaganda and incitement from outside. Even the specific factory address and fund allocation after the negotiations must be made.
After several months of running-in and training, the shareholders and executives of the Yanhua Chamber of Commerce group have basically become familiar with the new operating model. All these tasks are just a little more than the simple support plan in the past, and they are familiar with it. The key is whether they can really blackmail the foreigners, but this requires Yang Hao to ensure it.
When the plenary meeting passed the general rules and the work of the branch team continued, Song Yunsheng came to Yang Hao and asked worriedly: "How can they give up if they offend foreigners like this? With their jackal temperament, they must come back. Even if we make some people who are just making up for the scattered work, we can't stand it!"
This plan is too huge. It not only involves enriching external professors from Beiyang University, but also building multiple professional universities at the same time to follow up on industrial construction. It can be said that when a large number of basic industries are built, students must be recruited, and they must learn simultaneously in practice and complete their basic knowledge teaching when they are put into production.
Here, the quality of outsiders directly determines whether the final seedlings or bad bamboo shoots are produced.
The foreigners did not have the intention to make China stronger at all, and these people in China were not good birds. For example, Hurd, the General Taxation Division of Customs, has repeatedly once described some British farmers and rogue sailors as professional talents forcibly stuffed them into the Beiyang Navy, and that Tailai is the representative of it.
Another Decuillin, who was extremely trusted by Li Hongzhang, was even more shameless. Not long ago, she made a few sluts who didn't understand the truth and gave it to Li Hongzhang. Because there were Hannagan and Renel's role models, Li Hongzhang didn't have much doubts. As a result, these people went to Weihaiwei to talk nonsense and exposed their shortcomings in the newspaper without hesitation.
After all, the consistent principle of foreigners in business is to cheat if they can. If they really can’t play, they will follow the contract with you honestly. Say they are born with a contract spirit? Nonsense!
Yang Hao smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. There are hundreds of people from our country who have returned from studying in Europe and the United States. They were not satisfied with the Qing court, and they were all qualified to be professors. At least they can tell whether the people who came here are parallel or real. There is no big problem. Isn't there any more to me?"
Song Yunsheng had no doubts about this. Not to mention it, the first technical training school that has been built now has hundreds of lecturers. They were all down-and-out scholars and scholars from southeast Shandong. After half a year of study and practice, they can use the text to guide the recruited technicians while literacy.
However, what he was mainly worried about was the same as before. With the urinary nature of foreigners, he would definitely not be willing to spend a lot of money to buy things honestly. Why bother to grab something if you can grab it?
Yang Hao comforted her kindly: "You can rest assured in this regard. They have been calculating me for a day or two, so what can the result be? The biggest trouble is that their fleet comes to kill and use force directly. With the lessons of the Japanese, I think they will consider the consequences first. The last move is to instigate and coerce the Qing court to label me a rebel and kill people with a knife. Haha, I can't ask for it."
Song Yunsheng fainted and almost sat on the ground.
He suddenly realized that Yang Hao was ready to turn against the court and was not afraid of using force!
But at this time he also believed that even if the court took action, there would be no way. It would be a purely seeking death for a group of poor troops that could not even be defeated by the Japanese army to deal with the powerful new army that killed the Japanese army like slaughtering dogs. As long as they had a group of people to drive to Tianjin, the capital would be in chaos! Who can stop it!
It was only now that Song Yunsheng was really sure that Yang Hao would rebel. He also made various operations to keep himself at the commanding heights of justice. The court could not come up with a reason to deal with him. At that time, he could only expose the ugly nature of the Manchus' unwillingness to allow the rise of the Han people.
Yang Hao's appeal is not comparable to ordinary rebel bandits. For example, there are more young generations who are subtly influenced by him today. The Qing Dynasty did this. It was to dig your own grave. The clever ones pretended to be deaf and dumb and delay. It was the day when they played. If you really planned to have a head-on fight, it would be a big deal!
Song Yunsheng had a headache and wanted to hit the wall.
What should they do if Yang Hao and the court turn against each other? Should they join forces to get Yang off the firewood and stab the knife in the back?
When talking behind their backs, the old guys mentioned this possibility. Neither the compradors in Tianjin nor Shanghai were honest people. They used to make money by selling foreign goods, but now they are mixed in Yang Hao's business, but they have to turn their heads on against foreigners. This first of all, requires them to change their course, which is quite difficult.
More importantly, they still regard Yang Hao as an outsider at heart, and now they are tied together for money. When they really have the opportunity to fight back and seize power, they will never hesitate.
But it’s just a matter of saying that they dare not do that. Yang Hao first has his own industrial base and hardcore commercial power, and has strong military power to protect him. Whoever thinks his head is hard enough can try it?
Then, together with the Yang family, they were still regarded as a rebel by the court? Just because they were so far away, officials were raiding their homes and exterminations, could they have time to rescue them? With the ten thousand new troops, can they kill to Shanxi?
Yang Hao saw his concerns, but he didn't say a word more.
This time, it is also a test of the entire cooperation force. Can they continue with Yang with confidence and remain unchanged at critical moments before they decide whether they will be enemies or friends in the future.
Yang Hao really hopes that some people can jump out, so that they can kill a warning!
On December 26, a group of important officials of the court who had been worried finally got accurate information. Yang Hao was indeed assassinated, but unfortunately, the assassin was captured and was about to be tried in public in front of representatives of the countries.
The news released at the same time made them even more annoyed. Yang Hao has reached a preliminary agreement with other countries to exchange the product technology of the Yanhua Chamber of Commerce for the construction of a series of industries in China. In this way, a complete industrial system from basic research and teaching to production and sales will be formed. In this way, China will truly keep up with the trend of world technological innovation, put the Westernization Movement into practice, and no longer be controlled by others.
The newspapers indicate with sensational numbers that it will involve an export quota of hundreds of millions of taels of silver, bringing millions of job opportunities to China. Yang Hao's actions can be said to be a reward for today and future generations, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the hope of China.
The newspaper did not say what business it was, but the rumors had already spread throughout the court.
Emperor Guangxu overturned the imperial calligraphy case and cursed: "It's bold and lawless! He openly betrayed military weapons on the court. Does Yang have any royal laws in his mind?! Is there a court? Is there an emperor like me??"
In the Qing Dynasty, even privately harbored military weapons, let alone manufactured batches of takeout.
In the past, Yang Hao's weapons were kept confidential, and he thought it was purchased from foreign countries. Because the new army needed to attack the Japanese, the court endured it.
Now, he is actually gathering a group of the richest businessmen in the world and openly preparing to set up a factory for production and sale. This is provoking the court's laws and dignity.
No matter how much affection he had for Yang Hao, Emperor Guangxu would never tolerate it. He summoned important officials and scolded him with a harsh voice: "What did you do when you let the Yang do it? The Qing Dynasty is going to be unstable! What should I do? I want you to come up with the rules immediately."
As the leader of the Qingliu and the leader of the court officials, Li Hongzao made a decision: "The Yang family must be eradicated! Your Majesty can issue an order to order all the Liaodong troops to raise troops to take down the new army! Then, he ordered the Shandong Governor Li to dispatch troops south to sweep his nest! This kind of enemy troubles can be determined."
Sun Yuwen shouted, "It is easy to issue an order, but now the war in Liaodong is in full swing, and the Japanese are still attacking, and they need the new army to resist. If they are forced to rebel and go north together with the Japanese army, who can stop it? If the dragon vein in the ancestral land is damaged, who can afford the seriousness?"
Li Hongzao snorted coldly: "Is it okay to talk to the Japanese to stop the war? Don't they just want Goryeo? Give it to him! A mere vassal state cannot compare to the safety of the Qing Dynasty. This is exactly what the so-called independence and progress advocated by foreigners."
In the past, he did not dare to openly shout and talk about peace. Yang Hao's words "The enemy has not gone abroad to say peace is a traitor", but now he has a legitimate reason to defeat the Yang family as a traitor.
There was another sober minister who reminded: "Everyone, Yang did not say that he was selling military weapons. What we know now is just the rumor circulating in the market. If we acted like this, wouldn't it be regarded by the Chinese people as a crime to be punished?"
Li Hongzao shouted: "Can the information provided by the Russian foreigners still be fake?"
Sun Yuwen shook his head repeatedly: "It's not appropriate, you have to see the words in black and white!" (To be continued)
