Red Alert 1895 - Chapter 996
“Mr. Zhu Erdian, are you here?” Wang Guorui laughed.
And Zhu Erdian and German Minister Hai Jing looked at each other, and then they were obviously very unfriendly to each other. At present, both the UK and Germany hope to obtain the huge Chinese market, and Germany very much hopes to obtain the huge Chinese market, so that their industry can temporarily have a market digestion, so that they can develop rapidly. Although the British do not lack this market, they do not want Germany to obtain this market. This is a time of life and death, so of course they dare not mess around. This gave Wang Guorui a good opportunity to blackmail them both. If the British do not give enough benefits, then they will all open to Germany unconditionally. But once Germany obtains China’s huge market, it will be a catastrophe for them and Britain. This puts great pressure on the British, so of course they have to desperately prevent Germany from obtaining this market.
In this way, Wang Guorui made the British very headache. Wang Guorui had the most important resource in their hands, so they were not afraid of the British. The British had to start competing with the Germans based on the idea that they would not be able to let their opponents get it even if they didn’t need it temporarily. Zhu Erdian knew that when he walked in here, he realized that he was going to be slaughtered by Wang Guorui again.
But now he has no choice but to do this, because he knows that if he is unwilling, then Hai Jing next to him will definitely not miss this opportunity. What the Germans currently lack is not technology, but a market that can absorb their domestic excess capacity. As long as there is a market, their excess capacity will be digested, more benefits will be obtained, and more taxes will be brought in, and then the country will start to become stronger and continue to compete with the British for territory.
“Your Majesty, this is the technology that Germany can produce. Look at what you want? As long as we can produce it, we can give it to you. And, you Chinese will send 10,000 skilled workers To go to our factory for an internship, we have already contacted the major factories in the Ruhr Industrial Zone in our country, and they are very happy to welcome your workers to do an internship, and they are very willing to accept Chinese students.” Hai Jing said.
Nonsense, those Germans are of course willing to take students, and the Chinese will give them additional subsidies, where are they unwilling? They hoped that there would be more students, because every time they brought an apprentice, the benefits they would get were several times that of ordinary workers. Wang Guorui would never save money in training industrial talents. Therefore, even for those foreign masters, they are willing to give them several times more prices to let them take apprentices. Anyway, this kind of condition is already immeasurable compared with the opening of the domestic market, and it has given them enough benefits. I am more willing to teach, so that the reputation of Chinese people respecting their masters can be spread all over the world, which will help China continue to send overseas students and various intern skilled workers in the future.
And Germany can also be used as a condition, and then in exchange for the opening of the Chinese market, and then more market resources can be obtained.
Wang Guorui looked at the German list, and Zhu Erdian wanted to stretch his neck to see what the Germans had come up with so that he could make appropriate adjustments. But Wang Guorui is not stupid. Of course, the angle he wants to hold directly is more appropriate, so as not to let Zhu Erdian peep.
Wang Guorui also showed displeasure after seeing this technical list.
“Why are your technologies all about mechanical manufacturing and other things? Why don’t you have something about materials? Material technology, this is what we need most.” Wang Guorui said.
Hai Jing couldn’t help cursing inwardly: “This Chinese emperor is actually an expert?”
If Wang Guorui hadn’t been reminded just now, he still wouldn’t know the importance of the material. You must know that although materials are not omnipotent, it is absolutely impossible without suitable materials. Without suitable materials, even if some industrial products are theoretically designed, they cannot be produced because of the lack of suitable materials. Therefore, this material is the bottom layer of the industry and one of the most important links. The ancients said that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. If there is no material, how can it be possible to turn those industries into reality?
Just like without steel, can machine tools be manufactured? In the same way, if you don’t even have the materials, how can you make things? If there is no substance, how can there be products? Without qualified materials, everything is useless. Therefore, although various machine tools of industrial machinery are important, most people ignore the importance of this material. Without materials, it is the same as having no wealth in a family, which is absolutely impossible. If there are no basic materials, then the industrial technology is superb, so what can be done?
Of course Hai Jing knows this. As a minister stationed abroad in this era, isn’t the main duty to sell industrial products, and then there are those in charge of the military? The world is too chaotic in this era. If you don’t have enough industrial and military knowledge, you can’t be a good diplomat. So this Hai Jing naturally knew that there were pitfalls in it. These technologies seemed to be high-end, but many of them were flashy. There are pitfalls everywhere, in fact, many technologies in it seem to be high-end! What long-range artillery launch technology, manufacturing technology of various machine tools and so on. If a layman reads it, he may think it is tall! That new type of artillery can hit farther, much farther than other artillery.
And this machine tool is also very powerful, with high precision, and even the cutter head is hard enough to process many things that look hard. But there is a problem here, that is, how is the barrel of the artillery made? This may be overlooked by many people. In this way, the gun barrel must have suitable gun steel. If the gun steel is not suitable, it is useless. The same is true for that machine tool. It seems that the machining accuracy is very high, and it even has a lot of strength. But if there is no suitable alloy steel and alloy steel with sufficient hardness for important machine tool tools, then their machine tool is actually a waste.
These technologies seem to be very advanced, but if Wang Guorui really chooses these technologies, it is tantamount to being controlled by Germany. At that time, although Germany gave Wang Guorui enough technology, they did not give Wang Guorui the key core materials. When Wang Guorui looked at these tall things, it seemed that the rifle had no firing pin, which was actually useless and would not fire at all. A rifle without a firing pin, no matter how far the range is, no matter how powerful and magical the bullets are, it is actually mostly useless.
“Mr. Hai Jing, you are not a real person! You actually use this kind of thing to fool us in China. Since you have given us the technology, but you have not given the corresponding materials, how can we make it possible for us to produce it? At that time, I am afraid that you in Germany People, do you want to use these raw materials to continue bargaining with us!” Wang Guorui asked.
Hai Jing was also a little embarrassed. Those guys in Germany also thought the same way. They actually thought that they gave Wang Guorui these seemingly high-end technologies, so that after the specific agreement was signed, China wanted to It is also difficult to regret. At that time, Germany can take the opportunity to use the sales rights of this raw material to bargain with Wang Guorui again, and then force Wang Guorui to open more markets. There are actually many such means, and Wang Guorui also knows about this.
Wang Guorui has even heard of many high-tech industrial enterprises in later generations. What they sell is not products, but after-sales services. Why are many companies in many countries keen to make their own product standards into international standards, and then even hope that foreign countries can adopt their own product standards in large quantities? In fact, this kind of situation also happened in the fire merchant wars of various countries. They use arms to make a backward country adopt their arms standards, and then sell various types of arms at very low prices.
In this way, when they see that the ammunition is cheap and buy in large quantities ~www.mtlnovel.com~ they have already fallen into the opponent’s routine. At that time, once they use a large amount of arms, the subsequent bullets, shells, and various firearm maintenance parts, etc., will be called a black. It’s like some people are greedy for cheap things, thinking they bought cheap things, but the other party deliberately sells you cheap ones, and then various after-sales services cheat you, making it more and more painful for you to cut your flesh with a blunt knife. Even sometimes you can afford it, but you may not be able to use it, that’s the reason.
Once the technology system of this country and the company is used, then he is also tied up, and finally becomes the place where the other party keeps shearing sheep. This kind of people is very painful, but they have to be slaughtered. This kind of means of making profits through a technical system is actually very many cases. Restrict others through consumables, and then they can continue to cut flesh.
The method of the Germans is actually just a copy, but Wang Guorui has just been reminded by those who know how to make airplanes, so he understands the importance of this material. So now Wang Guorui has seen through it, so that Hai Jing knows that his plan has completely failed, and their method of exploiting Wang Guorui by relying on materials has failed. People who know how to do this actually see through their tricks, so it seems that they are not really capable.
However, Zhu Erdian saw that Germany was deflated, and thought that his opportunity had come, so he hurriedly opened his mouth. Obviously Zhu Erdian refused to give up this good opportunity, a great opportunity to squeeze out the Germans and let the Germans get their shares reduced. (To be continued.)
