Chapter 616 This Is Investment

In Zhao Guo's palace, the lively dinner stalled for a moment, Wen Xiaowei's question was very incisive, and this was what Zhao Guojun and his ministers wanted to know. As far as the current form is concerned, if the domestic military power can be strengthened first, and then the technology can be developed, it can be said to be a perfect solution.

What is the form now? The drought became more and more serious, and even Zhao, a powerful and prosperous country, was affected, and the country's fortune began to twist and fall.

Everyone has a guess that after this year's autumn harvest, there will inevitably be wars before next year's spring plowing! And at this time, it is simply impossible to have the time, financial resources, and manpower to develop technology. At this time, the army should be armed at all costs.

Therefore, the top priority for Zhao, Western Chu, and even all countries is to strengthen the army! Don't care about anything else, and don't care about it.

Facing Wen Xiaowei's sudden question, how did Xu Ren react? Two words can be used to describe it - great joy!

Really happy, this is simply the result Xu Ren dreamed of. The Kingdom of Shang went to great lengths to build the so-called main artery, for what purpose? Two words - trade!

At this sensitive moment, if Shang Kingdom can show its "industrial strength", will it still worry about product sales in the future! Wen Xiaowei's question was tailor-made for Xu Ren.

But is this question asked casually, deliberately to make things difficult, thoughtful, or just a show of favor? Xu Ren glanced at Wen Xiaowei, but found that Wen Xiaowei's face was relatively calm, but there was a bit of complacency in the depths of his eyes.

Xu Ren immediately came to a conclusion—it wasn't the four reasons above, it was just someone's flash of inspiration and blessing to his heart. So someone is enjoying themselves.

Forget it, anyway, this question helped a lot too. After all, there are too many advantages to be proposed by a third party compared with one's own initiative.

Xu Ren organized his language a little bit, and said: "This method is very good, and it is also a relatively feasible plan. In fact, we have already had certain templates for this kind of military construction plan.

This template is investment.

Before talking about investment, let’s first talk about the problem of purchasing machinery directly from Shang Kingdom. Although the production capacity can be formed as soon as possible, there is a lack of corresponding talents.

The investment model can solve this problem.

The so-called investment means that the business kingdom will provide talents, technology, products, and even capital, and the country that needs investment and attracts investment will provide land and policies.

In this way, it can quickly help countries that attract investment to establish an industrial foundation as soon as possible, and even in the process, it can train a large number of excellent talents for each country. "

"Oh..." Emperor Zhao suddenly became interested, "Mr. Xu, according to what you said, if Shang Kingdom invests in Zhao, we can get capital, technology, products, talent training and knowledge, etc. But I don't know. Shang Kingdom has paid so much, what kind of return do you want?"

"No, no, Your Majesty, you asked the wrong question!" Xu Ren directly denied Emperor Zhao's statement, "It should be said that investment has so many benefits, and Shang Kingdom's groups, commercial firms, and enterprises need to pay so much. It also takes a lot.

So, what kind of conditions can Zhao Guo give to attract investment?

To tell the truth, the merchants in the Shang Kingdom have been spoiled by the virtuous king, and the virtuous king encourages free competition. Therefore, if your country wants to attract investors, it needs to offer generous conditions and negotiate with these businessmen in person.

What the Kingdom of Shang can do at the national level is to build arteries, build friendly relations between the two countries, and build banks. As for the specific commercial cooperation, we are not responsible. "

Emperor Zhao was dumbfounded immediately, what is the Shang Kingdom like? Turning to look at Ji Buxian next to him, he found that Ji Buxian nodded. The Emperor Zhao immediately thought of something more—if the Zhao State wants to develop, should it also learn from the Shang Kingdom in this respect? Can we learn from such a business kingdom?

The banquet continued, but soon drew to a close.

Before leaving, Wen Xiaowei brazenly broke through the isolation of the officials of Zhao State, and squeezed in front of Xu Ren, "Mr. Xu, if Western Chu State can offer generous conditions, can it attract your country's investment?"

Xu Ren shook his head slightly, "Young Master Wen, you can't talk about this matter like this. If your country wants to invest, it must first establish diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Shang.

Only when the virtuous king opens his mouth and agrees to open trade between the two countries, will merchants invest on a large scale. Only such investment can truly strengthen the country. "

"Thank you sir for letting me know." As soon as Wen Xiaowei heard Xu Ren's suggestion, he knew that there was no point in spending any more time here, and immediately made a decision - after returning to the Western Chu Kingdom, he immediately organized a delegation to visit the Kingdom of Shang.

The state of Yang was wiped out, the sky fire bomb that was so powerful that it exploded, and the military industry with its excellent military performance and eye-catching arms industry all deeply stimulated the West Chu State.

Especially seeing that Zhao Guo, which is known as the most powerful country in Yingzhou, is going to learn from Shang Kingdom, Western Chu can't sit still. That's why Wen Xiaowei was sent to probe the situation.

Now, Wen Xiaowei got the word that the Kingdom of Shang is indeed the Kingdom of Shang, and Xu Ren expressed a truth between the lines: as long as it is profitable, we can cooperate!

The kingdom of Shang who recognizes money but disregards people!

In fact, this is also the image that Shang Kingdom has always actively shaped.

Only such an image can allow all countries to "communicate with the Kingdom of Shang without fear" and keep the Kingdom of Shang neutral.

As for the fundamental reason, there is another point - the exchange of interests between countries is originally, and the Kingdom of Shang tore away all the falsehoods and directly revealed the essence.

After returning to the embassy at night, Xu Ren didn't say anything, but Yuan Yong said happily, "What an unexpected harvest!"

After Xu Ren thought about it for a while, he understood what Yuan Yong was talking about, and immediately smiled: "Yes, if we can cooperate with the two countries in the middle of Yingzhou, and let the two countries form checks and balances, it will be the most suitable for the Shang Kingdom." beneficial."

At the same time, in Zhao Guo's palace, Zhao Guojun and his ministers did not rest, but started discussions overnight. Western Chu State's intervention did make Zhao State a little uncomfortable, and he had to respond urgently.

"Things must be done as soon as possible!" Zhongshu Ling Ji Buxian spoke first, "Your Majesty, the machinery and funds of the Shang Kingdom are not unlimited. If we can make reservations in advance, the countries behind will have to queue up.

Therefore, Chen's suggestion is: Book a part first! Even if you don't need it in the later stage, it's a big deal to return the goods, and you will be compensated for the loss of Shang Kingdom. But in doing so, it can stop other countries. "

"Ji Buxian is right. But the latter strategy cannot be used!" Zhao Guo Shangshu Liang Fangwei objected, "Your Majesty, for the time being, the Shang Kingdom is the only one, but the business partner of the Shang Kingdom is not the only one!

As far as I know, Xuan Mingzi of the Shang Kingdom is the deputy head teacher of the Demon Dao, Sun Moon Boundless. If there is a problem on our side, I'm afraid Shang Kingdom will abandon us without hesitation and start cooperation with Wei State.

In fact, during the negotiations tonight, Xu Ren had already hinted at this point. He repeatedly emphasized that the Kingdom of Shang values ​​interests most and only interests! "

Emperor Zhao's face gradually calmed down, and he began to accept the reality - in this negotiation and exchange, Zhao was in a weak position! This is the first time Zhao Guo has encountered such a situation after ascending to the throne of the most powerful country in Yingzhou for thousands of years, and he is in a weak position.

After a slight pause, Shangshu Liang Fangwei said again: "However, Ji Buxian's method is very good. We can buy a large number of machines and hoard them. Even if we don't use them, the enemy will have nothing to use!

But one thing, in any case, we cannot return the product.

Afterwards, it was a big deal: I didn’t have enough experience at the beginning, so I blindly learned from Shang Kingdom and bought a lot of machines that I didn’t need. "

After discussing for a long time, Emperor Zhao immediately made a decision, "Tomorrow, I will send people to the Kingdom of Shang to discuss attracting investment! And buy some machinery in large quantities.

The treasury accumulated by the empire for thousands of years is opened today!

Zhongshu ordered Ji Buxian, Shangshu Liang Fangwei, Zuoxiang Dong Taihe, Hubu Shangshu Liu Dabo, and official censor Sima Wei to take orders. The treasury has a total of about 50 billion taels of gold wealth at your disposal. I need a strong Zhao country! "

The five people looked at each other in blank dismay, under heavy pressure. This really handed over the entire Zhao Kingdom's national destiny for thousands of years to him. The five immediately swore.
