C3273 The lethality of Frankfurt Treaty 3

This group of people originally had very close business dealings with the Chinese. When they heard that Xiao Letian had obtained the compensation of 1.2 billion francs, this group of merchants' eyes turned blue!

"Deepen the relationship! Work closely together! Gentlemen, let us show our sincerity! The leader of the East is rich, he can purchase the latest technology from us! "

"Stop trying to hide things, stop using third-rate technology to deceive people. After this war in Europe, the Eastern Hua Clan has expanded their horizons, if we do not have any dry goods, then our business will be taken away by the German!"

"And the British, they'll get a piece of it!"

The leaders of the industrial groups were all stirred up. It had to be said that this nineteenth century was after all the early stage of the human Industrial Revolution, and was considered a transition period of the first or second stage of the Industrial Revolution. In this era, the technological barriers of the countries were not that high!

Xiao Letian had experienced the 21st century, of course he knew how serious the technology embargo was for all the countries of that era. No matter which country it was, it was impossible for any of them to give their latest technology to any other people.

In the 21st century, a weak country is a typical country that cannot buy technology even with money!

But in this era, it was different. The Western Powers's blockade of technology was not strict, and the fence door had not been completely closed. This was the best historical opportunity for the Chinese to rise!

As long as Xiao Letian wanted it, he could get the latest technology from the United States, Germany, Britain and even France, the defeated nation.

Why would there be such a special case? He still had to analyze it from the context of that era!

Firstly, at the end of the first Industrial Revolution, the so-called high technology was actually not as complicated as people had imagined. It was simply just a traditional heavy industry like steam engines, military affairs, steel smelting, etc.

Moreover, these heavy industries were not related to chemistry, electricity and other specialties, because at that time, chemistry had just arisen and electricity was still in the laboratory!

Because it was simple, there was no sense in blocking it. It was like the unique designs of Krupp's posthumous steel gun, which had indeed caused a French turn in their direction during the war. However, once the war ended, a few French engineers would be able to dismantle a cannon and figure out what was going on inside!

Thus, after the end of the Franco-Prussian War, France developed a very famous field gun in the history of artillery, which was the French 'Miss 75'.

There was no need to talk about the epoch-making significance of this cannon. Until the Second World War, Miss 75 was an absolutely outstanding cannon and was equipped with a large amount of equipment in China!

It is worth mentioning that the 'Italian cannon' that Li Yunlong spoke of is actually 'Miss 75'.

Since technology was easy to crack, there was no need to block it. Where was Europe and China more advanced?

In fact, cash was in the industrial system! To put it bluntly, even if someone gave you the latest technology, you still wouldn't be able to hide it from them. However, without that basic system, you still wouldn't be able to create it!

The second reason was that at that time Western Powers did not have a management big brother like the United States!

After the end of the cold war, the unique structure of the United States was revealed. The technology blockade was naturally under the supervision of this gangster boss. Only this boss was powerful enough to prevent the countries below from revealing it openly.

But at the end of nineteenth century, British Empire also faced a huge challenge. He had too many opponents, so naturally, these competing nations would not have the same thoughts.

You won't sell it, but you can't stop me from selling it!

A piece of scattered sand could naturally be destroyed one by one!

The third reason was because of the limited transport capacity at that time. The complexity of the geography would determine the difficulty of the circulation of goods!

Because of the distance between the mountains and the rivers, because of the distance between the ocean and the mountains, this created the difficulty of the circulation of goods. Because of the distance between the mountains and the water, because of the distance between the seas, this created the difficulty of the circulation of goods.

The profit-seeking capitalist certainly has to control the cost, so what is the best way to do it? Invest in the target market, of course!

Whether alone or in a joint venture, as long as your skills start to run out, you will definitely let others learn it, especially the Chinese people, who are the best learners in the world!

It was because of three reasons that the rise of the Chinese did not meet with too many technology blockades. If you, Britain, want to seal me off, I will go to Germany. If Germany does not have one, I will ask the United States!

If he couldn't do it, he would just go to the French libraries and universities to plunder books and blueprints. In any case, he could steal the cultural relics, as well as science and technology!

Xiao Letian often sighed, "Ah, China! "Actually, I missed out on the best historical opportunity many times. In fact, every time I got on the bus, it was much better than after the second world war!"

"China really did catch the last train of the industrial civilization. If it had been a few decades or a hundred years earlier, history definitely wouldn't have been so tragic!"

What a perfect world this was!

In Xiao Letian's eyes, this world was full of opportunities. Western Powers did not become like an iron board, but a group of hungry wolves that mutually killed each other!

As long as you open up your heart and take the initiative to welcome this new world, you will have plenty of opportunities to reap the benefits!

Look at the Franco-Prussian War! After the Frankfurt Treaty was signed, the American industry had gone completely crazy. Of course they knew that their industry standards were worse than Germany's, so if they wanted to do business with Xiao Letian, they had to take the initiative and ask for a discount!

That's right, in this era, Germany was the peak of humanity's technological civilization, and America's technological level was not even comparable to France's!

Let's go! To the east!

The newspapers in New York shouted a deafening cry!

Let's go! To the east! to welcome the golden age that the head of state, Xiao Letian, had created!

There's gold everywhere, let's put down our arrogance and blend in... Go earn money!

The business world of the United States was in an uproar. All the shipping companies on the east and west coasts were hard to find!

Usually, they would head straight for the Ryukyu from the east coast. On the other hand, the west coast would be a little higher in level, so they felt that they would have the face to be received by the leader, so they went to gamble their luck!

The business world began to take action, closely followed by the American consortium!

In this era, the American consortium wasn't at their best yet, but the prototype had already appeared!

Rockefeller Consortium, Morgan Consortium, Mellon Consortium, Kuenlobe Consortium... More than ten people of different sizes also set their sights on the Chinese side!

The banking industry is the most important pillar of the industrial development, if the Chinese want to industrialize in an all-round way, they must be strongly supported by the banking industry!

The number of branches they had in the past was still too small. Furthermore, the number of branches allowed by the Chinese was not enough … All of this had to be negotiated, and the Head of State had to nod his head!

America is crazy! Business is crazy! The consortium was also going crazy!
