Chapter 782 Lure the Commander of the Five Nations
Carter coughed twice and said with a smile: "Mr. Michaels, continue."
Max said: "Okay, let's continue. Regarding the mining issues of iron ore and coal mines raised by Li Zhen, this is a large and profitable sector. Li Zhen became the regent of Japan and controlled all the resources in Japan. We want to win The mining rights must be taken from Li Zhen, and a certain amount of money must be given to Li Zhen in order to take over all the iron ore and coal mines. Here, there is the issue of how much money can be taken, and we must discuss a minimum price. , how much do you think we can get it for."
Van Nilon said: "This price is hard to estimate."
Cartel nodded and said: "Mr. Van Nilon's words are reasonable. The price is indeed difficult to estimate. Li Zhen only said that he would sell Japan's coal and iron ore resources, but there is currently no detailed analysis of how many resources Japan really has. No one knows the measurement. If we give a random price, it will be detrimental to us and we might even have to pay for the underwear."
Commander Holland said: "In that case, what should we do?"
The Italian commander said: "No matter what, the resources must be obtained. As for how much money can be obtained, we can estimate a maximum price and a minimum price, combined with the amount of money given, the price will fluctuate up or down, depending on the situation."
Carter shook his head and said: "No, I don't think this is okay."
"Then what do you think we should do?" the Italian commander said slightly angrily.
Cartel fell silent, thought about it carefully, and said: "Things are not easy to handle. I think the investment is not conducive to our development. Li Zhen wants to build a railway and make money with nothing. Why should we We can't do it with nothing, we make a lot of money without spending any money, this is the most appropriate way."
Max asked: "Mr. Carter, what do you think about it?"
Cartel smiled slightly and said: "Li Zhen's purpose is to build the railway, so we will build the railway for him. However, we must tell Li Zhen that he will provide the ore needed for mining iron ore, that is, from the mined iron ore A part of it must be allocated to the construction of railways. Apart from the iron ore for railway construction, we will take 80% of the profits from the mining and sales of the remaining iron ore and coal mines, and the remaining 20% of the profits will be handed over to Li Zhen."
After a pause, Cartel continued: "I think such a distribution is more reasonable. After all, building railways also has many benefits for us and we can strive for them."
"I agree that we cannot spend money to buy iron ore and coal resources," said Michaels.
After everyone reached a unified opinion, they hurried to see Li Zhen.
In the big tent, Li Zhen said: "Everyone, have you thought about it?"
"Think about it." Max replied with a smile.
Li Zhen waved his hand for everyone to sit down and said: "Now that we have countermeasures, tell us what you think."
Max said: "As for the issue of building railways, our five countries have united their opinions and are willing to build railways for you to realize Japan's connectivity. However, you must give us the mining rights of iron ore and coal mines free of charge. In the future, we will mine iron ore." The profits from mines and coal mines will be divided into 28%, you will have two shares and we will have eight shares, what do you think?"
"Bullshit idea."
Li Zhen curled his lips and answered arrogantly.
Both Max and Cartel stared wide-eyed, completely speechless towards Li Zhen.
Anyway, we all discussed it.
Li Zhen's attitude is really bad.
Li Zhen said to himself: "In Japan, which is a big country, the iron ore and coal mines are not a small amount, but you only gave me 20%. I just want to say that I feel a little sad in my heart. Just imagine, if I Japanese businessmen, as well as Chinese businessmen, came to conduct public bidding to sell Japan's coal and iron ore resources. The price was definitely more than the 20% of the money you gave me. You are poor and crazy. I’m still crazy about making money.”
His words were aggressive and full of strength.
Carter said: "Prince Li, if the matter does not meet your requirements, we can continue to discuss it. Why bother to get angry and curse others? It will appear that you have no taste."
In one sentence, it was aimed at Li Zhen again.
Li Zhen chuckled and said: "My friendliness is only for some people. I am friendly to everyone no matter who comes. When the wolf comes, if I am still friendly everywhere, I will only end up being eaten. To deal with the fierce wolf, I am prepared Only mace."
After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "You said 28% as soon as you opened your mouth. This figure is very deceiving. If you sincerely want to cooperate, you should not give such a figure."
Max said: "King Zhennan, how much share do you want."
Li Zhen raised his right hand and spread his fingers.
"Fifty percent," French commander Van Nilon exclaimed.
His eyes widened, wondering if Li Zhen was crazy about money and wanted 50%.
Japan's coal resources and coal mine resources need to be mined, and mining equipment and so on require capital investment. Just preparing to cut off will consume a huge amount of money, and then it will need to be operated and so on, and it will require huge sums of money. However, Li Zhen It is too inappropriate for one person to take away 50% of the profits.
The remaining 50% was divided among the five countries, with each country's commander having only 10%. After excluding the capital investment needed to build railways and mine coal mines, they got very little money. This kind of thing made Van Nilon Almost going crazy.
Max said: "Prince Li, you can't divide it like this."
Cartel also said: "Businessmen's cooperation must be mutually beneficial to achieve win-win results and long-term cooperation. Prince Li can't pay a penny, but he has to take 50% of the profits, and we only share 10% of the profits. This Inappropriate."
The Italian and Dutch commanders also expressed opposition.
Li Zhen said: "Everyone, everyone, please listen to me and then think about it."
Suddenly, everyone looked at Li Zhen again, expecting Li Zhen to speak.
Li Zhen said: "To be honest, I don't like Japan's resources. I am looking for you to cooperate this time. I want to see how the railway you built is like, how good your mining capabilities are, and whether you can find the best experts to operate it." , whether it has the ability to mine, Japan is a test point for me, and the next step will be domestic resource development, which is the biggest profit."
Li Zhen glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "I am going to build railways and mine resources in the country. I need to find people to cooperate with me. If you do a good job here, I think you can do it solidly. What do you think about further cooperation and discussing domestic railway development and resource development?"
"Gudong,."
Max swallowed, his eyes shining.
The Qing Dynasty is rich in resources. If coal mines and iron mines can be developed, it will be a huge profit. Even if the profit is only 10%, the value generated will be very rich. Once the railway is laid in the Qing Dynasty, there will definitely be fees to make money.
