Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters caught the treasure
Facing the Chileans, Zhang Tinglan completely adopted the attitude of a wolf grandmother. In fact, when dealing with a small country and a big country, the only difference is how much it suffers, and how can it really take advantage of it? But the Chinese are more kind and willing to give up some benefits.
, just not eaten and wiped clean.
China's repayment plan is to use Chilean agricultural and mineral products to offset the cost of the battleship. Of course, China does not ask for things directly. Instead, it establishes a joint development company with Chile. China holds 60% of the equity and provides funds, technology, and equipment.
Develop Chilean copper mines and sell them to China and the world.
It is expected that Chile will be able to fully repay the expenses in ten years. From then on, it will have additional financial resources. In addition, Chile is also very rich in fishery resources and saltpeter resources. You can also refer to this standard.
Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "The Chinese market can be completely opened to Chilean goods, and the tariff can be controlled within 5%. I think this should be good news for the Chilean economy."
When Victor heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. This was not only good news, it was simply pie in the sky. During the Great Depression, the biggest impact was on international trade. Chile's foreign exports also plummeted, especially the most important country, the United States.
market, demand has shrunk, and Chile's finances have reached the extreme.
If China can open its market, it will be great news for Chile. Even if Victor does not understand economics, he knows that this is a good thing. In fact, he is worried that China will turn its back on others like the United States, but now he sees
, the Chinese people are indeed good, and it is so touching to be able to lend a hand to Chile in such a difficult time!
"Mr. President, thank you for your generosity. I will return home immediately and report the news to the president. China and Chile should sign this agreement as soon as possible."
Zhang Tinglan smiled and nodded: "Mr. Victor, there must be an explanation for the special preferential treatment given to your country. Therefore, I propose that the two countries sign a strategic partnership agreement. At the same time, a settlement bank between the two countries should be established, so that the UK can be bypassed.
Banks can realize direct settlement of the currencies of the two countries, which will be of great benefit to us in expanding trade exchanges."
Victor, a guy with a military background, certainly doesn't know what Zhang Tinglan is thinking. Strategic partners are not allies, and there is no problem with signing. As for settlement, it is not a problem. Now international trade has shrunk significantly, currencies of various countries have also depreciated sharply, and credit has collapsed. It continues to pass through the West
Bank settlement. You will definitely suffer a lot.
No matter how you look at it, it is good for Chile. Victor agreed without hesitation and immediately left for home. Of course, he did not know the meaning behind Zhang Tinglan's actions. Cooperating to develop agricultural and mining resources is economic kidnapping, while strategic partners are political kidnapping.
Bank settlement is financial kidnapping. If you add warship trade, it is military kidnapping.
As long as these four things are tied to China, Chile will not be able to escape China's clutches and can only act as China's spokesperson in South America. By holding this country in check, in the near future, it will be able to provide China with at least two
One hundred thousand tons of copper and millions of tons of fertilizer raw materials.
In the long term, China has created a wedge in South America. At the same time, this is also a challenge for China to the existing international order.
The colonial order of Britain, France and other countries is like a large tree with tangled roots, colliding head-on with Germany. It will only lead to a stronger backlash, which is not advisable at all.
The only thing we can do is to work hard and disintegrate bit by bit. For example, if China and Chile engage in direct settlement, the next step will be to directly settle with neighboring countries. We can even settle with countries such as the United States and the United States. Once things reach this point, Britain's financial hegemony will disappear.
Once it loses its financial hegemony, the British pound will no longer be an international currency. Once it loses its financial hegemony, the UK will become the original fox.
Britain has fallen. With China's geographical advantages, Nanyang, South Asia, West Asia and other regions will all fall into China's hands. This is a huge chess game. To achieve this goal, benefits will be given to countries such as Chile, so that
It is very necessary for them to take advantage.
Therefore, Zhang Tinglan personally arranged for Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Chen Youren to go to Chile to sign a package agreement between the two countries. If successful, Zhang Tinglan was also prepared to bring in Siam, Iran, Egypt and other countries, and even directly sign a currency swap agreement with Japan.
All is fine. In short, the biggest enemy now is the international order dominated by the West. As long as this order can be shaken, we will not hesitate to cooperate with the devil.
While Zhang Tinglan was actively forming gangs here, the purchasing groups to the United States were also frequently reaping results.
Xia Han and the others obtained 10 large blast furnaces and 12 open-hearth furnaces from the U.S. Steel Company, as well as a large amount of supporting equipment and more than 500 senior technicians. If these equipment and personnel are shipped back to China and put into production, China's steel output will
It can lift at least 2 million tons.
Moreover, adjusting other steel plants based on American experience and technology can make the entire steel industry take a big step forward. According to Xia Han's prediction, by 2031, China's steel production capacity is expected to exceed 10 million tons!
By that time, the scale of China's steel industry will be more than four times that of Japan's, giving it an overwhelming advantage. With this production scale, China will be able to advance into the ranks of the world's leading industrial countries.
After solving the steel industry, they headed to Detroit non-stop. As a world-famous automobile city, Detroit's glory is unquestionable. Yamamoto Isoroku came to the United States, and when he saw Americans producing cars like sausages, he
I was impressed by the strong industrial strength of this country, and I knew deeply that fighting a war of attrition with the United States would only lead to a dead end.
When Xia Han and the others arrived here, the situation was completely different. Many Ford Motor plants had been closed, and weeds began to sprout. In the silence, countless steel equipment lay, just like a tomb.
They were not polite and copied what they did in Pittsburgh, purchasing production lines and recruiting workers. China has already broken through the problem of automated production lines, so Xia Han and the others only plan to purchase two automobile assembly lines, and their main focus is on
On top of skilled technicians and design and R&D talents.
While they were going on a shopping spree, a middle-aged white man suddenly found Xia Han. He was in ragged clothes and looked a little haggard. When he saw Xia Han, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sir, I know that you are recruiting various talents. I am sure that you will definitely be interested in my stuff."
"Oh?" Xia Han said with a smile: "There are always Americans coming over these days and bringing out some weird things, but it turns out that they are all liars."
"Of course I am different from those people. My name is Miller. I am an engineer and an entrepreneur." The guy vowed: "At least this was the case three months ago. My company produces radio navigation equipment that can accurately
It measures the distance between two places and provides navigation services for aircraft."
Xia Han had no interest in this guy at first, thinking he was a bankrupt. But after hearing his introduction, Xia Han's eyes suddenly lit up. Navigation technology is exactly what China needs. Over the past many wars, the Chinese Air Force has
Played an important role, especially with the development of aircraft carriers, the value of aircraft has become even more unparalleled.
However, China's backward electronic technology has always been a bottleneck. Without effective communication and navigation, it is difficult for fighter planes to arrive at the battlefield accurately, and it is extremely easy to get lost or even delay fighter planes. If this guy in front of me can help China solve this problem, it will be a miracle.
Big good news!
"Can you be more specific?"
Miller also had a smile on his face: "No problem. If the weather is normal and will not cause radio interference, then an aircraft only needs to be equipped with a radio receiver, a map, a radio ranging station and its frequency information.
By using the form, you can fly over any area according to the navigation information. If you deviate from the route, an out-of-sync and unstable Morse signal will appear to remind you to correct the route."
When Xia Han heard this, he was completely tempted. This technology not only has great value in the military, but can also be introduced into the civilian field. Chinese aircraft are developing very fast. If this set of navigation equipment is installed, the safety performance will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
An increase in magnitude.
"Okay, if it's true as you say, I'm willing to provide you with sufficiently favorable terms to buy your technology, and even invite you to set up a factory in China."
"Thank you boss, as long as you help me pay off a little debt, I will leave with you right away."
"Amount owed? How much?"
"Not much, only 2 million US dollars!"
"Bah!" Xia Han almost spat in his face. Two million is enough to recruit 500 workers, and this guy really dared to speak like a lion. Xia Han had the intention not to agree, but his stuff was too attractive and there was nothing he could do about it.
All I can say is: "You are definitely not worth the price. If you can recommend a few more similar factories, I might agree to it."
When Miller heard Xia Han's refusal, his face fell. He had lost all his money by trading in stocks. Now this was his only way to survive, the last life-saving straw, and he must not lose it.
"Sir, I also know a factory that produces gyroscopes. Gyroscopes can also be installed on airplanes, so that the airplane can land smoothly in clouds, fog, and rain. I also know an engineer from General Electric Services who invented
A metal electron tube, its performance is greatly improved compared to glass electron tubes. There are also color TVs, car recorders..."
Miller talked endlessly, telling everything he knew. Although Xia Han didn't change much on the surface, he felt happy in his heart.
These things are very important. Gyroscopes are widely used in military applications. Vacuum tubes are also the core of communication technology. Other things also have great future in civilian use.
And more importantly, these are just starting out, and Americans may not be aware of their value, so they can be poached quickly.
Thinking of this, Xia Han suddenly looked at Miller carefully and said with a smile: "You are very good, why not do this, you help me find similar talents and technologies, and every time I find one, I will reward you with thirty thousand dollars.
