"This guy!" Xiao Chen really couldn't do anything about this Hu Dahai. He wasn't annoyed or angry. He slapped the table and said, "Someone, call me..."
"Thank you, boss, for the reward!" Hu Dahai had already received the reward first.
"You still want me to reward you? It's better if I don't spank your ass. Get out of here!" Xiao Chen was very angry at him.
With Hu Dahai making such a fuss, the atmosphere of the banquet reached a climax. They talked, laughed, ate and drank on this topic until late at night before leaving happily.
Xiao Chen ordered people to prepare three separate guest rooms for them in the courtyard. He ordered people to serve them carefully and treat them with the courtesy of distinguished guests, and never neglect them.
"Don't get me wrong, you three. I am not putting you under house arrest. You are all free. You can go in freely no matter day or night. No one will stop you. But I personally feel that you should try not to be alone these days.
It's good to go out, after all, we in Changshan Prefecture may also have Russian spies." Xiao Chen explained.
The three expressed their understanding and agreed that they would never go out for a walk before the war started.
In fact, judging from this point alone, they are sincere, and this negotiation will definitely have a result.
Because they all voluntarily stayed and even expressed their willingness to fight with Xiao Chen, this shows that Japan will go to war with the Russians no matter what.
Therefore, for this negotiation alone, the Japanese side will not put forward any hard requirements.
In other words, they actually did not intend to use this joint operation as a hard bargaining chip, which was actually a very smart decision.
This is also the reason why Xiao Chen is particularly friendly to them.
Sure enough, during the negotiations the next day, Kinoshita Yoshiro made a concession directly. The Japanese warships would not approach the territorial waters of Shunfeng Port without the permission of Da Zhou. But as for how to divide this territorial waters? We will discuss it later.
After discussion, for now, it will be limited to ten miles... Xiao Chen agreed.
The matter of immigrating to reclaim wasteland was cancelled, but Kinoshita Yoshiro still felt very sorry, because he thought it was a very good idea, and it was particularly beneficial to both parties! So I reserve my opinion. Of course, if Xiao Chenjun changes his mind in the future
If so, we can continue to implement it... Xiao Chen agrees.
Xiao Chen promised to provide them with some war horses, but the number cannot be too many. These are military supplies. We have not officially established diplomatic relations yet, so logically we cannot give you any!
Besides, our great Zhou Dynasty is also in urgent need of war horses. What should we do if we give them to you? Our emperor will not agree...
Kinoshita Yoshiro expressed his understanding, but he proposed to have some excellent stallions and some mares, that is, the kind that have not been slapped. To be honest, Xiao Chenjun, we want to breed some war horses that are suitable for our environment.
Xiao Chen also agreed. Since others have made such big concessions, he should show some sincerity, but if these war horses cannot thrive in your country, then it is none of my business.
As for food, we are also quite nervous at the moment.
I don’t think we will be able to export large quantities to you within a few years. Even if we in Yanyun County have excess grain, we will never give it to you first, but will pay it to the court.
This is not something I, the governor, can make a decision on, so I can only put this project on hold for a while.
Xiao Chen, this is all true. By the way, we in Dazhou have not had enough to eat, so how can we give it to you? And you want to get it on credit but not give us money!
Isn't this an international joke?
But Xiao Chen promises to provide them with a large amount of beef and mutton. In addition, other materials such as cotton, cotton, silk, porcelain, tea and other materials will also be tried to help you prepare. As for the payment, it will be paid one at a time, right?
Within the scope of my power, is it okay to give you a credit limit of one million taels?
Of course!
Kinoshita Yoshiro was very happy and happily agreed, bowing and nodding to Xiao Chen repeatedly. Xiao Chen is indeed a very generous person!
It's really a pleasure talking to you.
Kudo Nako even secretly gave Xiao Chen a wink to show her gratitude, but Ye Baiqing, Liu Xiangqin and the others pretended not to have seen her...
Xiao Chen's generosity was far beyond Kinoshita Yoshiro's expectations. He agreed to cooperate with Japan to develop coal mines, iron mines, copper mines... and also agreed to jointly establish a steel plant, and did not require Japan to provide a tael of funds.
All workers and civilians were recruited by Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen also funded the construction of factories, and he was responsible for road construction and transportation.
You only need to provide technology and tools and facilities, and of course you can send a large number of skilled workers over. I will provide them with food and accommodation, and also give them some subsidies as appropriate. After all, you have traveled thousands of miles and left your home and career behind.
Working here is very hard work.
Conditions? No conditions!
Oh, by the way, the transportation costs, mining costs, and labor costs of these materials are all included in the cost of Lyon, and these are absolutely not allowed on credit, otherwise, I will suffer too much loss...
Kinoshita Yoshiro and Kudo Nako still can't believe their ears. They just praised you for your generosity, and why are you so generous?
This sounds too fake... Xiao Chenjun, are you kidding us too?
"You can discuss the specific cooperation matters with my relevant personnel in detail, but the general principle is this. What I say will never change... Unless Kinoshita-kun feels that this is inappropriate, then we will discuss it again."
Xiao Chen's attitude was quite clear and his tone was quite sincere.
The surprise came so suddenly that Kinoshita Yoshiro was really stunned for a while before he agreed. In this case, of course it is very appropriate!
As for the wood, Xiao Chen said that I can only try my best to provide you with some high-quality wood, but I cannot cooperate with you to open a wood factory.
Because our Yanyun County is planning to carry out large-scale construction and repair the previously destroyed city houses, there are too many places where wood is needed. Please understand this, Kinoshita-kun.
The negotiations made a breakthrough. In fact, it was such a breakthrough that Yoshiro Kinoshita failed to use many of his backup plans and felt a little bit as sad as Ichino...
But a serious problem has arisen.
"Xiao Chenjun, I can sign an agreement with you on behalf of Japan, right now!" Kinoshita Yoshiro said solemnly, "But with all due respect, can you represent the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty? Also, how long can you serve in Yanyun County?
If Yanyun County is taken over by someone else, will our agreement still be valid?"
Hahaha!
Regarding Kinoshita Yoshiro's serious question, Liu Congshu, Ye Baiqing, and Liu Xiangqin burst into laughter almost at the same time.
No, there's nothing funny about this...Bagh Yalu, are you really joking?
I knew you wouldn't be so good!
"Kinoshita Yoshiro-kun, you haven't figured it out yet. In Yanyun County, our boss is the one who calls the shots, not the emperor of Zhou Dynasty." Ye Baiqing said calmly.
