Yang Meng's attitude was particularly firm, and the consequences Yang Meng said were unimaginable. Facing the tough Yang Butang, Baxiali and Baoling chose normal response methods and retreated after a long period of discussion!

"Yangbutang, can you give us some time to consider?"

"That's your own business. In the Qing Dynasty, in Guangzhou, and in the shipyard, I have the final say. As for you, you are dispensable...

Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will take the ministers of the United States, France and Germany and merchants to inspect the current Great Bay Shipyard. If possible, we will sign a contract on the spot.

At that time, if there is no English-Geely businessman participating, what I just said will be written into the terms of the contract. This contract is not only a commercial contract, but also a witness. The ambassadors of the United States, France and Germany must also sign on the contract. This is a cooperation between countries, not an ordinary commercial cooperation.

The two of you are too arrogant. What I don’t like the most is you. If you don’t have a formal note from me in the future, it’s better not to appear in front of me.

Also, the number of provocations of British and Geely merchant ships at sea has increased recently. If you two don’t curb it, I will not curb the military and civilians in Guangzhou. The Qing Dynasty had a sea ban and was not allowed to go out to sea without official documents. If there were constant threats at sea, I would directly cancel this law. For those who went out to sea, the Qing court would not show it as their own people!”

Yang Meng's belly is that Hong Kong Island was deeply influenced by pirates in the past few years. It included Yang Fuliang's actions and the contribution of serious pirates. Once the ban on the sea was opened, countless people would go out to sea. In this way, there would be more pirates. With sufficient labor, it was not a problem to integrate large-scale pirate legions.

These are all analysis made by Yang Meng based on the positions of Bashali and Baoling, which are also normal diplomatic means to deal with the provocations of England and Geely. These words are enough to disturb the minds of the two.

"Yangbutang, it's better not to threaten our British Empire!"

Faced with Yang Meng's threat, Baxiali, the Chinese Tong, also felt a little cold on his feet. Yang Butang knew Yingji's weakness in Guangzhou too well.

Many of the Qing people in Guangdong and Guangxi were hungry and cold. Once the sea ban was opened, they were afraid that there would be fishing boats going out to sea to survive everywhere in the Lingdingyang, which gave birth to a large number of pirates. It was just a matter of time.

"This is not a threat. As the Minister of Nanyang, I have the power to open the maritime ban. As long as I simply issue an order, the maritime ban in Guangdong, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Fujian, Ningbo, and Zhejiang provinces where Guangzhou is located, can be opened anytime and anywhere.

You also know that the Qing Dynasty is in civil strife today. After the sea ban was lifted, whether it was fishing boats or merchant ships, the Qing court had a lot more taxes. I have the power to open sea ban, and the court also had the benefits of opening sea ban. After three provinces, there may be five provinces and seven provinces. These are not threats, but just means for the court to deal with insufficient financial and taxation.

As for threats, the Minister Baxiali was threatening first just now? There are some things that the Qing court did not do, but it was not that it was not that it was impossible for you and me to think that it was unnecessary. You two, don’t turn things that the court doesn’t want to do into things that must be done. That would be of no benefit to both of you and me.

Opening the maritime ban will inevitably breed a large number of pirates. The Qing court has no deterrent power at sea. All we can do to cancel these pirates is to cancel their nationality. Apart from that, we have no other way.

The Qing Dynasty did not rely on sea transportation. Even if there were a large group of thieves on the sea, as long as they did not endanger the safety of land, the court could turn a blind eye."

Yang Meng objectively analyzed the pros and cons of opening the maritime ban from the perspective of policies and interests for the two. For the Qing court, it was still very beneficial to fully open the maritime ban, but for England, it was absolutely not beneficial.

The sea ban was fully opened, and it was fundamentally different to the comprehensive trade. It seemed that the sea ban in Yang Butang was fully opened, which was one of the means by the Qing Dynasty to deal with the British Navy.

The two of them also knew something about Yang Meng. The wealth of this Qing Dynasty rich man probably was comparable to that of a country. Now he wanted to buy a large number of weapons and ships, which were prepared for this method.

The country supports pirates, which is not a strange thing for England. If dozens of fully armed pirate warships suddenly appear on the sea in the east, you can imagine what the result will be!

The previous number of ships purchased by General Yang was at least 60 or 70. The muskets and artillery purchased could fully arm these 60 or 70 warships.

After simple repairs in Guangzhou, most of these warships have lost their traces. Hong Kong Island is still very concerned about the intelligence of the Qing Dynasty. The only two dozen ships that General Yang acquired before were left in Guangzhou for commercial purposes were really old, and most of the rest disappeared suddenly. It seems that the Qing Dynasty was not at all prepared for England and Geely.

Such a policy threat is very useful to England. Facing this Yang Butang who is proficient in diplomacy, it is better to face Ye Mingchen, who is extremely bad at diplomacy.

The Qing Dynasty was an extremely declining dynasty, and nothing could be abandoned. The British Empire has developed to this day and has been considered to have destroyed countless countries. The last madness of the declining Empire, Bashali and Baoling, can be foreseen that the Great Bay Shipyard is in trouble.

"I have said everything I should say, please give me some advice!"

He bowed slightly to see off the guests. Under Yang Meng's oral statement, Xu Ziwei wrote some toasts at the banquet. After handing this thing to Tiffany, Yang Meng, the landlord, withdrew from the venue and finished what he should do. Yang Meng had no intention of facing those arrogant foreigners.

After this banquet, the news that Guangzhou was going to build the world's largest shipyard was also rumored to be rumored. The annual income of 30% made many small businessmen envious, and many big businessmen were eager to try it out. The stable income of 30% was ten years, and such a project was definitely worth investing in.

For merchants in some countries, this is a great regret. It is reported that the construction of shipyards only allows merchants from the United States, France and Germany to invest. The yield of 30% in ten years is enough to trigger a war.

However, these restrictive means have little to do with merchants. It is just a joint venture with merchants from the United States, France and Germany. The sale of part of the benefits, even if the annual income is 20% or more, the future income will be quite substantial for ten consecutive years.

And these are all under Yang Meng's calculations. With Yunyan, Yunyan will pay 30% of the fixed income. If it cannot be sustained in ten years, the shipyard can be completely bankrupt!

In the past ten years, Yang Meng wanted to continuously expand the scale of the shipyard. After going bankrupt, the physical goods remained in Guangzhou, and the equity was just a cloud of stakes!

In just one day, just one day later, Baoling and Bashali felt that Guangzhou and Hong Kong Island were no longer like the world. Under Yang Meng's instruction and under the promotion of Renres and Andre, a number of British merchants knew about the two's actions to destroy the construction of the Greater Bay Shipyard, and thus kept the English merchants from the shipyard.

Spreading rumors, Yang Meng naturally would not say his domineeringness. Baoling took the initiative to ban English merchants from participating in the shipyard. This statement was said by Renres and Andre, which was much more true than Baoling's own defense.

The next day, the British merchants also made a statement that if they invested in the shipyard, as if they were rumored, they would assassinate Baoling. The assassination on the surface was just putting pressure on Baoling. It was impossible for British merchants to give up a fixed income of ten years, with a proportion of up to 30%.

For the US, French and German merchants, the participation of British merchants is also very necessary. England has too much influence in Asia. Without the participation of British merchants, the Greater Bay Shipyard is an unprotected place. Once England and the Qing Dynasty go to war, 30% of the fixed income will be vanished every year.

Ten years, 30% of fixed income per year, is no different from a scam in the eyes of merchants from various countries. However, the news released by Ding Taichen dispelled all the merchants from various countries. The fixed income for ten years is paid by Yunyan. The Great Bay Shipyard has signed a ten-year contract with Yunyan's producers. Within ten years, Yunyan's production is mainly to supply the fixed income of the Great Bay Shipyard.

With Yunyan as a guarantee, the real contract is placed in front of major merchants, and the scam is also real. Ding Taichen's Yunyan contract was taken out, and British merchants, mainly East India Company, have become even more unscrupulous. The pressure faced by Baoling and Baxiali is almost a collapse.

At the same time, the merchants of Yinggeli also negotiated with Yang Meng, and extended the contract for the shipyard to invest in half a month. Yang Meng's response was only seven days, and after seven days, the contract was signed. After this period, if Baoling's attitude remained, he rejected the terms of the British merchant, he would actually write it into the contract.

Baoling and Baxiali sent a note to Yang Meng the next day and asked for an interview. Yang Meng's answer was also very clear about such a note and ignored it!

Seven days are also necessary for Yang Meng. The scale of the Great Bay Shipyard will have to be improved within seven days. The water depth near the Great Bay and the design drawings of the shipyard were measured a few years ago. It is not very difficult to turn the entire Great Bay Island into a shipyard.

Simple breakwaters and simple cofferdams can be built with shipwrecks. With the manpower of the Yang family in Guangzhou, the future scale of the shipyard can be roughly described in seven days.

The same way to relocate the small population of Dawan must be completed within these seven days, open to foreigners and keep the court confidential. Once the court knows that tens of millions of wealth have been gathered here, it will be believed by the genius!

During the seven-day waiting, small interest groups were also taking shape, selling 5 to 10% of the profits and joining the US, French and German merchant groups. In just five days after the banquet, Andre raised 5 million francs, and Renres was even more terrifying. With an investment of 8 million US dollars, the silver discount of two hatchbacks has exceeded 10 million taels, and this amount will continue to increase over time.

From inspecting the shipyard to signing the contract, it took at least half a month. What Yang Meng said about signing the contract on the same day was just a false statement to intimidate Baoling, involving the ownership of tens of millions of taels of silver. Even if Yang Meng wanted to sign the contract quickly, the foreign merchant would not agree.

Such a huge amount of funds is also extremely terrifying for the ministers of various countries. Once a contract is signed, this so-called Great Bay Shipyard is an incomprehensible existence!

Ding Taichen was not happy about the huge amount of funds coming. The more funds he gathered now, the greater the benefits the Yang family would pay!

"Third Master, this is too much!"

"Excessive? A visionless thing! The benefits of this matter are huge! When signing the contract, we fixed the price of Yunyan within ten years, and paid them a fixed amount of Yunyan every year. What's the price? Twenty taels of silver per kilogram, and we will sign our contract like this! This matter has a big impact on us, it would be better if we can raise more than 100 million yuan in funds! They will solve my military expenses, and a bunch of fools who are tempted by money!"

"San Master! Yunyan's production is not enough! Besides, there is so much money, I can't use it!"

"I'm really not treating you badly if you say you are a visionless thing! There are more places suitable for planting opium in this world. As long as we have needs, someone will plant it. Yunyan's output will only be more, not less!

You can't spend all the money? You are stupid! The mother machine used for shipbuilding, the machinery used for shipbuilding equipment, and the coal and iron ore used for shipbuilding are all belonging to the Great Bay Shipyard.

Which foreign technology, machine tools, minerals, and technicians does not cost money? Domestic canals, railways, and mines are not belonging to the Great Bay?

Tens of millions of dollars scare you, you have never seen money, right? This Dawan Shipyard is a basic industry involving all industries. Even matches and fabrics are all needed by Dawan Shipyard. Think about it, the size of Dawan Shipyard is so large, what is the population it needs? Do you have to spend tens of millions? It’s a completely small country!

I can spend tens of millions of taels, hundreds of millions of dollars!”

The Great Bay Shipyard is an economic trap for Yang Meng. It is best to pull all the big businesses in Britain, France, the United States and Germany into this trap. I am afraid that no one has the knowledge of super-large multinational enterprises in this era, right? All of this is for Yang Meng's navy, and with the help of the wealth of European and American countries, they can develop their own navies.

If possible, Yang Meng would make Guangzhou a myth of the world's shipbuilding industry. In the past ten years, Yang Meng needed to seduce big businesses from all over the country. In the future, the best result is that this Great Bay shipyard can operate alone, making a lot of profits, what's wrong with dividends? As long as the shipbuilding base is near Guangzhou, as long as the controlling stake is in his hands, Yang Meng, everything doesn't matter!

"Third Master is brilliant!"

"You have been saying this recently, and it's time to use some energy. The basic staff on Dawan must be done during inspections, so that the new army can go to Dawan to be alert in advance, and don't let someone do it in Dawan!" (To be continued...)
