When Master Li's affairs were properly arranged, Zhang Ziyu returned home, burned all the contracts of the nearby farmers, and allowed the farmers to relocate at will, and transferred the Zhang family's land to Lin Yuan. Watching Zhang Ziyu do all this helplessly.The nearby villagers didn't have any worries, so they agreed to relocate one after another.

After the relocation plan was completed, Lin Yuan sent someone to send news to Zhang Hua, and Zhang Hua then sent an official letter to Jonas in the name of Zhang's Aluminum Company.

Two days later, Zhang Hua came to Lin Yuan and asked, "Jonas has come to negotiate with me, do you want to come over?"

Lin Yuan asked, "What did he come to talk to you about?"

Zhang Hua said: "He wants to discuss the revenue sharing with me. See if you can use this matter to gain any benefits from the British?"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, let me be the chief negotiator, and I will discuss this matter with Jonas and the others in person." Turning around, it was the day of negotiation. Lin Yuan and Zhang Hua He brought all the negotiating missions to the meeting room, and after a while, someone came to announce: "The British mission has arrived."

Lin Yuan then said "please", only to see Jonas walking in from the outside, and there was no one behind him!Lin Yuan couldn't help being taken aback when he saw it, and thought, "Is he the only one in the negotiating mission?"

When Jonas saw Lin Yuan, his face was also full of surprise. He pointed to Zhang Hua and said to Lin Yuan, "Why are there so many people?"

Zhang Hua said: "Negotiations, that's how it should be. There will be many recorders around, and there will be people preparing various materials, don't you think so?" Jonas gave Lin Yuan a wink and said: "For our negotiation, only me and Mr. Lin are enough. Why do we need so many people? Are you right? Mr. Lin." After speaking, he laughed heartily.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "You Jonas is trying to play tricks on me! But it doesn't matter, no matter how hard you jump, you can't escape from my palm." So Lin Yuan said to everyone: "Ambassador Jonas said That's right, as long as the two of us are enough, you go out first."

After everyone went out, only Jonas and Lin Yuan were left in the conference hall, Jonas said with a smile: "Master Lin, the seeds you want will arrive at Yingkou Port tomorrow, you should find someone to receive them. Lin Yuan nodded, and Jonas lowered his voice and said, "Master Lin, if you agree to this contract, our British Empire is willing to donate 300 million pounds!"

Lin Yuan's heart was moved when he heard "300 million pounds", so he smiled and said, "Okay, who doesn't like money, but I have to look at the contract first."

Jonas handed the contract to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan opened it, and began to read it word by word. When he finished reading the last sentence, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back!Lin Yuan thought to himself: 'If I didn't have my previous plan, if I signed this contract, I would be infamous forever! "

It turns out that this contract stipulates the sharing of costs and benefits, and the UK has taken a lot of benefits in it. For example, the contract stipulates that the aluminum oxide cryolite molten salt electrolysis method is used to produce aluminum, and the electricity required is provided by the UK. On the one hand, a new thermal power plant will be provided. The coal produced in Benxi Lake will be used in the thermal power plant. The Chinese side will bear 80.00% of the procurement cost, the British side will bear 20.00%, and the transportation cost will be fully borne by the Chinese side.

Bauxite and cryolite are mined from Fengtian Outer Mountains, and the mining costs are all borne by the Chinese side, 90.00% of the transportation costs are borne by China, and [-]% by the British side; the Bayer method is used to produce alumina from bauxite, and the equipment and technology are provided by The British side is responsible, the laborers are provided by the Chinese side, and the wages are borne by the Chinese side; the skilled workers are provided by the British side, the wages are borne by the Chinese side, and the wage standards are set by the British side.

The above are all in terms of cost, and finally in terms of benefits. It is stipulated that the products produced by the aluminum factory will be sold by the British side, and the British side will share 90.00% of the proceeds, and the Chinese side will share [-]%.Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Is it clear that I want to bully others, but I have a clever plan first, and I will not lose anything if I agree to him at this time, but if I agree directly, it is too unreasonable , Seeing such a contract, I readily agreed to it, only a fool would do this, and I had to pretend to evade it." Lin Yuan then smiled and said: "Mr. Ambassador, let China go to any place that spends money here. If you get the benefits, let you Britain take it, you are too bullying, right?"

Jonas smiled and said, "Master Lin, look at what you said, how can this be bullying? Such a contract is purely for the sake of your Qing Empire!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Oh? Then tell me, these costs are all paid by us, why are you thinking of us?"

Jonas said: "The equipment in the aluminum plant this time is the most advanced in our country, which is enough to show our sincerity in cooperating with your country. Each of these equipments is expensive. Take a look, we let you Have you paid the purchase cost of the equipment? These purchase costs are the real big ones!"

"Moreover, these equipments were transported thousands of miles from our homeland. Our colonies don't have such equipments at all. If we hadn't found extremely high-grade bauxite and cryolite here, we wouldn't have spent a lot of trouble Come here to mine aluminum!"

"The transportation costs of these equipment are extremely high. We didn't ask for a penny from you, so it's not for your sake to ask you to pay some transportation and labor costs?" Jonas said here with a smile: "Not only did you not It’s a loss, and it’s a big advantage!”

Lin Yuan looked at Jonas and sneered in his heart, "Well, you Jonas, you are still acting good here after getting a bargain, I won't take this opportunity to kill you and anyone!" So Lin Yuan pretended to be embarrassed, and said: "But I have to convince my subordinates and my superiors, and I need to manage it in various ways. The 300 million pounds you gave may not be enough!"

Jonas smiled and said, "Then I'll add another one million to you, what do you think?"

Lin Yuan immediately smiled and said, "No problem, deal!"

Jonas said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I also understand that although you have established an aluminum company, it is still managed by the government in essence, so if you are short of money, you can get it directly from the government. The government's money , don’t take it for nothing, don’t you think so?”

Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously, pointed to his chest lightly, and said with a smile: "It's good to know this kind of thing in your heart, but if you tell it, it will cause big trouble!"

Jonas also laughed, so Lin Yuan signed the contract. Jonas thought he had taken advantage of it, but he didn't expect that he was already in Lin Yuan's calculations.

Early the next morning, Lin Yuan came to Yingkou Port to inoculate the seeds in person. The Beijing Ship sent a captain of the engine department named Xie Sichen. This Xie Sichen studied agricultural science in college. Worked in the engine department for several years.

With Xie Sichen, Lin Yuan called a small steamer from the Anti-Private Port at Yingkou Port, and brought a few guards with him, and set off from the Anti-Private Station to head for the port.
