Iron Dynasty
Chapter 1112 Asking Price
Her Majesty has agreed to Her Majesty's request and is ready to redeem them for two hundred pounds a soldier.
After entering this conference room, Brooke completely put away his arrogance and looked humble.
As a defeated man, he knew what he should do now, after all, the lives of tens of thousands of British soldiers are still in their hands.
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the British would agree so readily this time, while Pang Yukun looked like he had suffered a loss, hating himself for asking for too low a price.
Happy, this is the attitude of negotiation. Xiao Ming said.
Brooke showed a smile, and he continued: But the premise is that His Majesty agrees to no longer block the air routes, so that the British can freely trade anywhere in the world. Of course, what we are most looking forward to is to establish trade with your country.
Your Queen Victoria is a shrewd person, but it is too much to get the right to free navigation with this little pound, but it is not impossible, as long as your merchant ships pay an escort equal to 30% of the profit to the empire. The fee is enough, otherwise I cannot guarantee that they will not be attacked by pirates. Xiao Ming's expression was relaxed.
Now that the initiative is in his hands, it is not easy for the British to take advantage of him.
Brooke seemed to have a plan, and he said, Does Your Majesty mean global routes?
Do you think it's possible? The route from the Cape of Good Hope to the Empire. Xiao Ming sneered. Now these British people still want to set him up, but there is no way.
In fact, it is very difficult to ensure the safety of the sea in this era. After all, the ocean is too big. There is not much difference between the empire's warships in the ocean and a handful of sand in the Yangtze River.
Seeing Xiao Ming's rhetoric getting stricter, Brooke stopped at the right time. This time he came to the British House of Representatives to give him full rights, and he had a lot of preparations in advance.
This one is also in the period. After all, the British navy has also bullied merchant ships of other countries in this way, so he said: We also agree to this one.
Xiao Ming showed a smile. Compared with the ransom of the soldiers, the income from the trade route is a continuous and significant source of money.
However, this is all based on the close trade relations between the Empire and Europe.
So the next step is to open up the British market, he said: Let's talk about war reparations, not to mention the issue of war reparations, I ask you to open London as a trading port of the Empire, allowing imperial merchants to trade in the UK .
When it comes to this question, Brook's face suddenly becomes hot. Once upon a time, this was their way of dealing with indigenous countries, but now the Chinese Empire is using this on them.
But even so, the House of Representatives unanimously passed this article. One of the purposes of his coming here this time is to establish trade exchanges. There are both advantages and disadvantages for them to use London as a free trade port between the two countries.
The good thing is that they can buy all kinds of industrial products from the Eastern Empire to copy, and the bad thing is that the British domestic industry may be severely damaged.
It's just that under the measure, they still focus on the benefits, because they are lagging behind now. As long as technological progress can be achieved, it is worth sacrificing their own country's market.
When their industrial capabilities catch up in the future, they can use policies to drive out the industrial products of the Eastern Empire and support domestic industrial products.
This article makes us very embarrassed, but it is not impossible to agree, but the House of Representatives hopes that your country will open some patent rights to the United Kingdom. We are willing to buy your country's technical patents at high prices, such as steel-making technology, bearing technology, steel ball production technology and so on.
Your appetite is really not small. Pang Yukun couldn't help but interject, in the six states area, the patent right was established more than ten years ago.
The archives of the Patent Office now hold thousands of patent technical materials in the Empire, which are protected by the laws of the Empire.
No individual or organization can use the technology in the patent for profit without the patent owner's application.
Now Brook wants to use the patent, which means that the empire has to disclose technical information to them in exchange for royalties.
In contemporary times, Western countries are using patent royalties to extract a lot of domestic wealth.
Brook said: Your Majesty, this is just a transaction. We use your country's technology and then pay expensive royalties, which is equivalent to giving your country a lot of income, why not do it?
Then you will be able to imitate our technology and improve your UK's industrial capabilities. Xiao Ming came from now and was very clear about this.
Brooke did not deny it, he said: Is Your Majesty afraid that our England will catch up to you?
There is no doubt that you have been completely left behind by us, but it is not enough for the empire to sell important technologies to you for a small amount of money. You should not be delusional about this.
Brook said calmly: Your Majesty, we still hope that you will think about it. The technology I just mentioned is currently being conquered by talents in our country. With the knowledge reserve, I believe they will be conquered one after another. By then, these Patents are worthless.
The atmosphere of the venue cooled down, and everyone understood what Brook meant. Obviously, the British have mastered a lot of basic knowledge now, and they are now applying the knowledge.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Ming said: I will consider this point, but I have to send personnel to investigate. If what I said is true, it is okay to sell these patents to you in advance. Second, I request in the name of the emperor of the Chinese Empire. If you don't agree to extradite those two traitors, then this will be avoided.
Okay. Brooke readily agreed, and now those two were of no use to Britain.
The things they master are now all mastered by British scientists, and it is still very cost-effective to exchange these two people for some patents.
Xiao Ming nodded slightly, the patent that Brook said was only the technology of the six states more than ten years ago, and now the empire already has more advanced technology.
It is still very cost-effective to exchange these technologies for wealth to promote the technological development of the empire, because according to the information he has obtained, Brook's words are still somewhat credible.
If the person dispatched this time has confirmed the technical level of the United Kingdom, there is no need for him to hide it.
However, among the conditions he mentioned, the second one is the most poisonous. Once these two people are extradited back, it will be a serious warning to those who are going to go to Europe to betray their country.
Because no matter where they are, they cannot escape the punishment of the Empire in the end.
