Chapter 519
Li Xian walked into the main meeting hall, but he was a little complaining in his heart-can't you countries have some principles, young master, my brain cells are wasted.
I was still racking my brains to think about the aorta. 180,000 kilometers, at least 40 countries have to be crossed, even if Li Xian is confident, he still has a lot of worries.
But now, there is no formal negotiation yet, Shao Guo's envoy came to express - we are willing to cooperate and welcome with both hands.
This huge contrast made Young Master Li feel a huge sense of loss—I have prepared a lot of means, why can't you stick to it? There must be principles in life.
When I came to the main meeting hall of the city lord's mansion, I saw that the envoy of Shao Guo was already waiting at the gate of the main hall.
Before Li Xian approached, the emissary immediately ran two steps forward, "Hi King Xian, I heard that the Kingdom of Shang is going to build a railway with the State of Zhao to connect the inland of Yingzhou and the sea. This is a project that will bless all generations. Is the country lucky enough to participate in this plan?"
Looking at this humble and careful gesture, who would dare to believe that Gongsun Jue is the diplomatic ambassador of the Shao Kingdom? Shao Guo is a country that dares to send troops to Qi.
Yeah... Young Master Li suddenly thought, I really miss my great commander, Yan Zhengqing, who captured the Emperor of Qi alive in only three days.
Well, I was wrong. Li Xian pulled his thoughts back and was about to say a few words.
But at this moment, another person came to report that the envoy of Xing Kingdom had arrived!
Soon, Guan Xiaohua, the diplomatic envoy of Xing State, came to Li Xian with small steps, without even looking at Gongsun Jue next to him, "Hello King Xian, after hearing about the cooperation between Kingdom Shang and State Zhao to build the main artery, foreign The minister returned to Xing Guo overnight to meet with His Majesty.
His Majesty has said that this is a great project that will shine for thousands of years and will be of great virtue for generations to come. Countless people in Xing State are eagerly looking forward to this railway passing through Xing State. For this reason, Xing Guo is willing to fully cooperate with all the requirements of the Shang Kingdom. "
Let me wipe...there is such a good thing as a pie in the sky?
But... Li Xian looked at Guan Xiaohua, Xing Guo's diplomatic envoy, and wanted to complain, brother, did you really return to China last night? I remember that you waited at Beidou Mountain in the middle of the night, waiting to watch the rocket launch, right? Do you really think that the intelligence system of the Kingdom of Shang is drinking water?
However, the sky not only dropped pies, but also dropped gold ingots. Soon there was a third diplomatic envoy from Baishan Kingdom. This diplomatic envoy is even more exaggerated-Xian Wang, our entire Baishan Kingdom wants to join the Shang Kingdom, unconditionally. Just laugh at it.
Li Xian stopped walking towards the meeting hall, I'll wait, maybe there will be a fourth one.
Sure enough, there was a fourth one, Ji Caiji, a fox spirit dressed in brilliant red and infinitely enchanting. "Oh, King Xian has guests here. I'll come back tonight."
Nujia~~~ The corner of Li Xian's mouth twitched, this vixen is getting more and more "monstrous".
Entering the meeting hall, Li Xian subconsciously glanced at the map next to him.
The Kingdom of Shang wants to build a railway with the State of Zhao. The starting point of the railway is not to pass through the State of Xing, but to pass through the State of Shao. One of these two countries must be chosen.
As for the Baishan Kingdom, it is a small country sandwiched between the Kingdom of Shang, the Kingdom of Xing, and the Kingdom of Lu, with a radius of thousands of miles. Now it is not unexpected to seek refuge in the Kingdom of Shang.
Throwing the people of Baishan Kingdom to Yan Ze'an, such a small country does not need Li Xian to handle the whole process personally. Li Xian received the diplomatic envoys of Xing Guo and Shao Guo. "Since the two countries are so sincere, this king will do his part. Next, we will send envoys to negotiate with the countries behind..."
Before Li Xian could finish speaking, Gongsun Jue, the envoy of the Shao Kingdom, said directly: ‘Your Majesty, don’t worry, if the countries behind are not convinced, we will send troops to fight until they do! '
Guan Xiaohua from Xingguo immediately said so, Li Xian was embarrassed to refuse that sincere attitude—but, there is only one railway!
But it doesn't matter, people think more than Li Xian thinks. Gongsun Jue immediately said: The two countries can each build one, even if it can't be used as a "Shang-Zhao main artery", can it also be a channel between our Shao Kingdom and the Shang Kingdom? Anyway, if this thing is built, it won't be wasted. It will be built sooner or later!
This attitude is too sincere!
Li Xian swears that he has never encountered such a negotiation in his life, and the two sides rushed to express that "we have given sincerely and without compensation". Before Li Xian said a few words, the two families almost dumped their wealth.
After only talking for a while, Li Xian had no choice but to leave the situation to Li Yuanming; no, in such a scene, Li Yuanming, a poisonous man, needs to appear on the stage.
But only for a moment, Li Yuanming also ran out in embarrassment, "Master, I can't do it anymore, I can't stand it anymore. I have never encountered such a negotiation. I only spoke halfway, and the two of them rushed to give benefits. Such a negotiation , let Yan Ze'an come."
Well, Yan Ze'an really deserves to be the one who helped Cai Guo on the road to ZTE. Xu Ren and Li Yuanming are more of a strategist than a statesman. It is of course no problem to come up with an idea, give directions, and check for omissions. But when it comes to political intrigue and intrigue, Yan Ze'an is better at it.
Yan Ze'an didn't come out until he was talking about dinner.
"How is it?" Li Xian was very concerned about the outcome of the negotiation.
Yan Ze'an showed a helpless expression for the first time, "Master, this rocket launch has completely broken the balance, and the current situation is not good or bad. It seems that Shao Guo and Xing Guo have changed their political lines for the time being, and they are no longer with each other. We fight, and they work with us instead.
This situation seems to be fine for the time being; but in the long run, there may be many problems.
But for the time being, as far as the railway construction is concerned, I think it can be constructed simultaneously in two countries. Anyway, as long as it is well planned, there will be no waste. We also urgently need rail links to the outside world.
After the construction of the two railways is complete, we will choose to extend one of them to connect Zhao Guo.
As for the construction of the railway, etc., the two parties jointly funded the construction. In addition, our side invested in technology, etc., and Xing Guo and Shao Guo invested in land and local protection.
After the railway built the city, we enjoyed two parts of the rights.
The first part belongs to the country of Xing or Shao, with 100 years and 80% control. A hundred years later, the railway is completely handed over to the other party, but we still enjoy the right to share dividends in technology investment until the railway is scrapped.
The second part is for the 'Shang-Zhao Artery'. Calculated after the main artery is fully opened to traffic, we will enjoy 100 years of 80% profit from the "train" directly sent from the Kingdom of Shang to countries further west.
A hundred years later, for the main artery, dividends will be distributed according to the shares held by the funds invested by both parties until the railway is scrapped. "
Li Xian thought for a while, "That's right, the conditions are very good. Only when both parties are profitable can the construction of the main artery be successful. In the future, negotiations on railway construction in various countries will follow this template.
As for some tough countries that submit by force, the interests of this country are distributed to the countries that contributed at that time, so as to unite allies and divide and attack enemies. "
The matter was decided so happily, Li Xian left this matter to Yan Ze'an and Xu Ren to discuss.
After a few more days, Xu Ren will take Ye Kun and return to Zhao with Zhao's envoys. Of course, there will be negotiations along the way. This way, back and forth may take half a year; maybe even longer.
Not long after, Ji Buxian, the secretary of Zhao Guozhong, heard about this incident, and he was very emotional for a long time—is this a good start? It seems that things are going well.
In the evening, Ji Caiji really kept her promise, and this vixen even came to visit with a roasted rabbit.
Li Xian is having dinner with Zhao Ming, Ji Buxian and others. What a coincidence—or maybe it was just the right time.
When a guest comes, Li Xian can only invite Ji Caiji to take a seat; sometimes the world of practice is not so particular.
It's just that Zhao Ming's eyes are straight when he looks at Ji Caiji. Take a look, look again, look again...
Every time Zhao Ming glanced, Ji Caiji smiled at Zhao Ming. After a few times, Zhao Ming actually blushed.
Li Xian sighed helplessly, "Ji Caiji, stop playing, this is the prince of the Zhao country. Be careful that the old monsters of the Zhao country come out to hunt you down."
Why can't Li Xian see that Ji Caiji has already started to tease Zhao Ming with a small seduction spell. To be precise, to the vixen, this is not a tease, but just a little 'joke'.
"Hee hee... What a cute little prince." Ji Caiji withdrew her spell, and fear appeared on Zhao Ming's face. Looking at Ji Caiji's eyes, it was no longer confusion but fear. Poor child, frightened by the vixen.
"Tell me, what's the matter today?"
Ji Caiji looked around, "Really talking here?"
"Yes!" Li Xian nodded.
"That's fine, it's nothing. Some old guys from the Yaozu want to ride the rocket. Let the King make a price."
Li Xianzhen didn't know what mood he was in now, "Didn't the Yaozu have some kind of Kunpeng bloodline? Can they soar above the nine heavens?"
"Hehe... just kidding. Well, the real situation is that I want to buy five hundred sets of magical weapon armor from King Xian. It is the half-human armor of the Dragon King."
(It's the end of the month, the monthly pass is amazing, it's about to expire, hurry up and hit me\(^o^)/~)
