Chapter 974 – Yingde Drinking Poison To Quench Thirst (Part 1)

?Zhu Erdian was forced to sign some treaties with Wang Guorui, so Zhu Erdian’s face was dark, and he was forced to give up a lot of British shipbuilding industry technology. However, Wang Guorui did not explain why you did not ask that “organization” for technology. After all, Wang Guorui has also been in the political arena for several years, so he naturally knows the truth that too much talk is bound to fall short. Instead of trying to find excuses yourself, it’s better to say nothing at all. If you talk too much, you will lose. If you make excuses everywhere, not only will it not be effective, but it will make people more suspicious. So Wang Guorui simply refused to explain, simply said nothing, and let Zhu Erdian and the British guess by themselves. And sometimes, once you guess too much, it will go wrong. And sometimes, too much information is actually not conducive to decision-making. The British may wonder why Wang Guorui didn’t ask that “organization” for technology, and they will definitely have a lot of guesses. At that time, they may have many guesses, and finally find that everything is possible, but it seems that nothing is possible.

&nb[猪^猪^岛^novel][.[zhu][zhudao].[com]sp; This kind of guessing is the worst, they can’t guess the specific reason at all. So Zhu Erdian had to sell a lot of technology, and even reached a condition for the Hong Kong issue. The British returned to Hong Kong, but as a condition, Wang Guorui must protect the legal property of the Hong Kong people. The land rights in Hong Kong belong to China, and the current land rights of any British citizen will not be recognized by China, and the previous land lease agreement between the United Kingdom and the so-called British Hong Kong Governor’s Mansion will also be re-signed with China as appropriate. In a word, that is, China has sovereignty over all the territory of Hong Kong, and the land ownership previously owned by British businessmen is not recognized by the Chinese government. The previous lease agreement must also be re-signed with China. If an agreement cannot be reached, you must leave.

All kinds of real estate, such as land, shops, ports, docks, etc., also belong to China’s sovereignty. China does not need to spend a penny to compensate British businessmen, and the British government will digest the compensation internally. As for those floating wealth, the Chinese government must ensure that legal property is not violated. Wang Guorui also backed down a step, as long as those British businessmen did not use violence, threats or special rights to force the wealth, Wang Guorui would admit it. Wang Guorui, who has floating wealth and so on, has also acknowledged it and will not confiscate it. As long as it is legal and does not use floating money that obviously violates Chinese laws, Wang Guorui also recognizes and protects it. And this policy of protecting legal private property must be followed by all countries as much as possible, and it cannot be confiscated just because they are foreigners.

After the handover of Hong Kong, the draft agreement discussed by Wang Guorui and Zhu Erdian also agreed on the transfer of various technologies from the UK to China and the authorization of patent rights to China. Even the right to transform various technologies, and the new products produced after various future transformations, the British gave up patent rights. In the draft agreement, China will discuss in detail the opening of part of the domestic market to British businessmen, and specific contracting to British businessmen to operate some industries. These tariffs will be implemented in detail. While exerting certain competitive pressure on domestic enterprises, it will not bring heavy blows to the domestic industry.

Moreover, Wang Guorui also agreed with the UK that their products can only be sold in a certain province, and cannot be sold across provinces.

“Your Majesty, why are they allowed to sell here? If so, wouldn’t that make foreigners make money?” Kang Tongwei asked.

Wang Guorui shook his head helplessly and said: “If they are not allowed to come in, I am afraid that the smuggling in the future will definitely be very serious. Because the people are gradually getting richer, but our productivity cannot meet the needs of the people. Our industry has just started, especially the light industry. On the one hand, it is far from being able to meet the real needs of the country. Once the people find that their own currency cannot buy materials, it will be inflated. Once inflation, the materials are expensive, and the people will not be able to bear it. So let them If you can come in, then although foreigners earn a part of their wealth, it meets the domestic material needs. Once the people can’t get the material needs, the people will definitely have opinions. At that time, smuggling is inevitable, so it’s better to use this We use the huge domestic market as a bargaining chip, and then bargain with foreigners in exchange for what we need.”

“As long as there is a market, there will be demand. As long as the market exists, someone will definitely do it. Even the business of beheading will be done, so people who cannot meet the demand will definitely face smuggling. Instead of doing this, it is better to open some gaps , and then we can still be controlled in this way, and then we can get a lot of benefits!”

Wang Guorui knows that China’s domestic production capacity is still immature and must rely on some foreign products to make up for it. Although Wang Guorui adopts trade protection, it does not mean that he is completely blocked. In the case of insufficient domestic productivity, some foreign products are needed to fill the gap~www.mtlnovel.com~Although this will allow foreign countries to earn some wealth, it will allow Wang Guorui to collect tariffs.

Anyone with some business knowledge knows that if there is a 300% profit, the capitalists will trample on some laws. If Wang Guorui completely sealed off the country, and the domestic supplies could not meet the demand, then it might cause a large number of people to smuggle.

Back in the day when Yu was controlling the waters, he also knew that blocking is worse than dredging. Instead of completely blocking, it is better to release part of it, but it must be strictly controlled. In this way, part of the release will meet the needs of the domestic people. In this way, Wang Guorui can not only collect tariffs through these products, but also meet the needs of the people’s daily necessities to a large extent. The commercial demand for materials cannot be blocked. Even if the government orders are strict, many people will choose to take risks. Before the disintegration of Lao Maozi, the smuggled goods at various borders were simply crazy.

It is also a good choice to use the domestic market to buy something in exchange. Since it is doomed to be unable to meet the needs, it is better to actively give up a part, and then you can get more benefits. This is the core of exchanging the market for technology. Since I can’t satisfy the market for the time being, and foreigners are in urgent need of the market, it’s better to take what they need for the time being.
