The China-Prussia Friendship Foundation that Yi Wang is responsible for is no longer what it was a few years ago. With Xiao Letian's continuous capital injection and the in-depth cooperation with Prussia, the foundation has gradually grown from a simple investment at the beginning. The accounts can be balanced and even make some profits. Tianlai Novel
Funds from the East began to invest heavily in Prussia's arms, steel, chemical industry, machinery manufacturing and other fields. With the help of Prussian tanks, the shares held by the foundation have risen sharply.
Moreover, the China-Puertz Foundation also has a natural advantage, that is, rich maritime resources. With the support of Prussia in Europe and the encouragement of the Chinese in Asia, the foundation's merchant ships can always get the highest-grade oriental boutique goods, almost Every shipment of goods is top-notch luxury goods.
Before the foundation's business started, who among the European nobles had ever drank the tender tea of Yuqian and Mingqian picked by virgins with their mouths? These fools who were deceived by the British thought that there was only one category of black tea in the world.
How many grades of satin are there? Why can the foundation's merchant ships obtain a kind of satin that changes color and luster like smoke? Unique rainbow-like patterns can actually appear when facing the sun?
Not to mention porcelain, especially a kind of thin-body porcelain made of bone, which is as crystal clear as jade and can even transmit light when facing the sun. It completely subverted Europeans' understanding of porcelain.
These people didn't know that the kind of fine products they got had a common name in the Qing Dynasty, which was 'imperial'.
The south of the Yangtze River was raging with war, and the post-war economy was basically controlled by the Hunan Army. At this moment, the Manchu and Qing royal family's ability to control the royal objects became weaker and weaker.
Many master craftsmen who specialize in production for the royal family have moved to factories and workshops under the influence of the Hunan Army. Officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Eight Banners officials actually pretended not to see it. Who can afford to offend these Qiu Ba?
Xiao Letian keenly saw the business opportunities. Chinese businessmen began to cooperate with the Hunan Army forces to purchase these imperial products at a high price of 10% to 20% higher than the market price.
All Chinese businessmen understand that although these treasures are selling well in the Qing Dynasty and Asia, they are definitely not worth the price. The really rich Yuan Datou is still in Europe. A long time ago, he had no choice but to rely on the West. Exploitation by businessmen, those ignorant businessmen simply don’t know how to distinguish high-quality products.
In other words, Western businessmen do not want the European people to have access to real high-quality goods. It is easier to make money with mass-produced mid-range goods than selling high-quality goods, and it also leaves room for the future.
This kind of selfishness is exactly the opportunity that the Chinese people want to seize. The Sino-Puertz Foundation relied on the high-quality route and quickly opened up the situation in just a few years. Now the most high-end Chinese products on the European market are almost sold out by the foundation. It is a monopoly held by merchants.
Facts have proved that talents are talents no matter what they do. King Yi is a famous general in war. He was also a capable official when he was engaged in domestic affairs in the Kingdom of Heaven. Now he is traveling across the ocean to do business in Europe, and he is actually very domineering.
The China-Puertz Friendship Foundation has now begun to divide its business. Under his leadership, six independent operating organizations with different functions have been established, including the Chinese Teaching Assistant Charitable Fund, the Chinese Red Cross Society, and the Chinese Science Award Foundation.
The number of Europeans working for King Yi now exceeds 3,000, and offices have been set up in all European countries except France and Tsarist Russia.
King Yi Shi Dakai, no no no... This man who changed his name to Shi Yi has become a diplomat, philanthropist and businessman who was highly respected by all European countries at that time.
Over the years, King Yi has come into contact with many big figures in Europe. He has met the giant businessmen of the Rothschild family, and has also talked with high-ranking nobles from various countries. As for politicians, he has come into contact with countless others.
But today's Gladstone gave King Yi a completely different feeling! Of course it wasn't a good impression. King Yi was surprised, how could anyone in the world be so upright about accepting bribes?
That's right, only the word "righteous and awe-inspiring" can be used to describe Gladstone. This grey-headed man has a very serious and orthodox face. Even if he tells a joke, you will listen to him as if he is giving a report. Even if he accepts a bribe from you, he will sound as if he is giving a report. Christ Jesus accepts offerings from believers just as naturally.
It’s as if it’s only natural that the foundation gives him money!
Ever since Fangguan got in touch with him, ever since Gladstone said he could make some contacts, the party leader has received three bribes from the foundation. No, no, no... In his mouth, this is called a political donation!
The first payment of 600,000 pounds, the second payment of 300,000 pounds, and today another 500,000 pounds were sent. All the total of 1.4 million pounds went into the account of the Liberal Party, and he was not satisfied with these, but he asked for 800,000 pounds. Oh my God, are we taking advantage of the Chinese people?
No matter how well-controlled King Yi was, he could not control his emotions. He put down his wine glass and straightened the knot of his tie. "Dear Mr. Party Leader, do you know how much money 2.2 million pounds is? Do you know what you can buy with so much money?" ?"
Gladstone put down his knife and fork and smiled contemptuously, "Of course, I know what the money can do. The cost of building a sailing battleship is only 112,000 pounds. This money is enough to build an ocean-going fleet." Got it!"
"But don't be too much. I am the only one in the UK who can accept your money. I dare to accept your money..."
"Ha...you really impressed me. You actually received the bribe with a healthy attitude. You really impressed me!" King Yi still couldn't control his emotions and gave the other party a little irritation.
Who knew that Gladstone was completely lifeless and had no expression on his face. He stretched out the index finger of his left hand and shook it gently, "No, no, no, this is not a bribe, this is a political donation!"
"Political donation? I think it is no different from bribery..." King Yi said coldly.
"Of course there is a difference. Bribes are used for your own consumption and personal enjoyment! Political donations mean that you agree with the political philosophy of our Liberal Party and then willingly spend money to support our cause..."
"One is for public purposes and the other is for private purposes! Of course there is a huge difference..."
"Haha... It's just turning an individual into a collective. In my opinion, there is no difference!"
Gladstone smiled, "This is where you are inferior to Xiao Letian. If Xiao Letian was talking to me, he would never mention this topic, because he knows very well... engaging in politics is a very, very waste of money!" "
Gladstone felt that today's food tasted pretty good, so he decided to popularize some traditions of Western parties to these 'friends'.
"Sir! A party is not just a collection of politicians with the same ideas. A party is sometimes more like a company..."
"The party has a strict organization, its own party rules and regulations, and internal laws! There are rewards and punishments, and we even have an internal disciplinary committee..."
