Chapter 576: You only have the right to sign
In the conference room, there was silence for a while.
After a long time, the representative of the Xiaoyao faction, Guanyun Dao Chang, snorted coldly, "I remember that the agreement signed between the country of Qixia and the country of Jinyang was very similar to this. Mr. Zhang is really familiar with the road!"
Zhang Hao smiled faintly: "However, compared to direct destruction, this at least preserved the foundation of the Xuanming Sect." The history of the Xuanming Sect is as long as 60,000 years, and it is only fifty years of hardship at the moment. Is fifty years a long time?"
"Fifty years is not a long time!" the representatives of the Ming Sect and the Holy Lands of the Continent spoke one after another in solidarity with Zhang Hao.
Even Feng Yunlong, the Qinglong Dharma King of the Ming Sect, was even more stunned: "Guanyun Dao Chief, right, you Freedom Sect should be glad that although you were defeated before, you retreated.
Besides, this is a matter between our Continent of Turbulence and the Ocean Group, so why should you intervene in the Loose Sect? What qualifications do you have to intervene?"
"You ......" Guanyun Dao was furious, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Because at this time, the representatives of the rest of the Holy Lands of the Continent of the Turbulent Earth all glared at the Cloud Viewing Dao Chief!
As Zhang Hao put forward the specific "direction of negotiation", everyone instantly united. Interests are eternal, and it is absolutely intolerable that the Daoist Guanyun wants to harm everyone's interests.
Next to him, Hong Xiazi, the representative of the Xuanzhen Sect, watched coldly - now between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect, it is 'passionate'. Even Hongxiazi was thinking in her heart: Can you force the Loose Faction to sign such an agreement?
Hongxiazi knew very well in her heart that with the emergence of the Dayang Group, with the explosion of industry and commerce, and with the publication of "Capital", the entire known world is undergoing drastic changes, or more appropriate development.
Nowadays, this development speed is getting faster and faster, and now, the Dayang Group has some transformation technology.
In this case, after a delay of fifty years, the Xuanming Sect is only afraid that it will fall completely. Fifty years later, there is a good chance that the Xuanming Sect will be completely divided!
However, Hongxiazi will not say anything, on the one hand, the Xuanzhen Sect is not capable of turning the other holy lands of the Turbulent Continent around, on the other hand, Hongxiazi is also thinking, can the Xuanzhen Sect get involved in it? Relying on the relationship of the Ocean Group, the Xuanzhen Sect is still very promising!
In the embarrassment of Guanyun Daoist and the thinking of Hongxiazi, the negotiations have officially begun.
No, this can't be called a negotiation at all, but the Ocean Group and the rest of the holy places are discussing how to knock on the bone and suck the marrow, and Bai Feiying's speech is so pale and weak.
However, Bai Feiying is not a soft bone, and he also understands what this negotiation means at the moment, so many conditions are fought for. However, the Xuanming Sect itself is at a disadvantage, and there is only one person in charge of Bai Feiying, and the effect of the dozen or so next to it is limited.
Bai Feiying was forced by the representatives of several holy places to thunder again and again. Several times, it was Zhang Hao who made a move to stop the unrestrained greed of the major holy lands.
Speaking of which, at first, the Holy Lands didn't know how to negotiate – or exploit – but after only a dozen minutes, everyone was proficient.
Greed is the driving force of progress!
This negotiation lasted more than ten days, and on the fifth day, the Xuanming Sect finally sent a new representative, and finally barely stopped the greed of the rest of the Holy Land. However, Bai Feiying is still a representative - there are many people from the Xuanming Sect, but no one dares to be this representative.
And witnessing such a greedy negotiation with their own eyes, the audience from all sides can be described as cold sweating. Looking at the conditions one by one, each condition can push the Xuanming Sect into the abyss. After so many conditions are superimposed, Xuan Ming can hardly see hope!
Finally, half a month after negotiations, a complete agreement appeared.
The service staff of Dayang Group put this document, which is more than 30 pages thick and has 40,000 words, in front of Bai Feiying.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes at the scene stared at Bai Feiying, waiting for Bai Feiying to sign.
Bai Feiying sat at the table, looking at the document, trembling all over.
The entire conference room, at this time, the pin drop can be heard.
"I refuse!" the White Eagle roared and roared.
Feng Yunlong, the Qinglong Dharma King of the Ming Sect, snorted coldly, "Either sign!" or war!"
If you sign it, you still have a chance to make a comeback. If you refuse...... There are millions of people in the Xuanming Sect, I don't know how many people can survive the war?"
Bai Feiying's face was pale, and he still refused to sign. But the person next to him, that is, the newly dispatched personnel of the Xuanming Sect, transmitted the sound and urged him to sign.
Just as Feng Yunlong said, if a war really breaks out, the Xuanming Sect doesn't know how many people will be able to live?
Moreover, the current Xuanming Sect has been frightened, and the morale is all about it, and the God Transformation Period, which I once thought was a secret weapon, was killed 132 of them in one face. If you want to continue fighting, you will not only have to face the transformation stage of the Ocean Group, but also the attacks of the rest of the Holy Land. Hope of victory, completely absent!
Bai Feiying trembled, raised his wrist, his fingers trembled like a small branch in the wind, and slowly picked up the 'rune pen' next to the document - the rune pen, once the word fell, it could not be changed.
But no matter what, Bai Feiying finally trembled and signed his name on the agreement.
He, he didn't have a choice!
Zhang Hao looked at Bai Feiying's expression, and he also felt some emotion in his heart, just as the movie The Matrix said, the so-called choice is just a game for the weak by the strong, and in the end, it will be found that it is actually just an illusion.
On the surface, it was a chance for the Xuanming Sect, but this was just a different way of destroying the Xuanming Cult, a milder way that could not see the blood, but it was also more cruel. This is the real knocking of the bone and the marrow.
It's just that if Dayang Group wants to develop and rise, it needs a ladder. This ladder is often made up of the corpses of enemies and losers.
Following the Treaty of Huaishanguan in the Kingdom of Jinyang, the second unequal treaty was newly released, the Treaty of the North Sea.
The reason why it is called the 'North Sea' Treaty is because the Ocean Group landed in the 'North Sea City', and the Ocean Group is also the north compared to the Continent of Turbulence, and there is an emerald sea in between.
In fact, the name is not important, the content is the most important.
When the contents of the North Sea Treaty were published in the newspapers the next day, there was an uproar.
There are a total of 16 articles in the treaty, and there are hundreds of details. The main clauses were basically pointed out by Zhang Hao before. In the end, everyone only added one clause: for three years, the Xuanming Sect is forbidden to participate in the research of the transformation technology, and after three years, the performance will be seen.
However, the first article of the treaty won everyone's favor: the Xuanming Sect will disclose all materials except its core exercises, etc., and everyone can go to transcribe and rub it.
At the behest of the Ocean Group, under the threat of the rest of the Holy Lands, the Xuanming Sect had no right to say no. Finally, everyone retained the last dignity for the Xuanming Sect:
There is no need to disclose one's own core exercises, alchemy refining tools, etc., and those who go to copy, rubbing, and observe materials must pay a certain fee, which is regarded as the income of the Xuanming Sect.
This first article immediately won countless favors, but this favor was gained by the Dayang Group -- it was Zhang Hao who made this proposal! This is the real generosity of others.
In addition, the Xuanming Sect officially apologized, and published an apology statement in the newspaper, especially to Zhang Hao and Zhou Xueyao, it was really undesirable to sneak attack on the day of the wedding, and gave more than ten kinds of high-grade elixirs unique to the Xuanming Sect as a gift, these elixirs are worth more than 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.
For the rest, the Cult will open a treaty port at the border of each of the Holy Lands and allow the rest of the Cult to build railroads on the lands of the Cult. The Xuanming Sect only charges 3% of the total value of taxes on transactions in various holy places—it is still unknown whether it can be collected.
Beihai City will be the first fully open sea port city in the world with no taxes.
The Xuanming Sect paid 8 million to 12 million high-grade spirit stones to the major holy places for military spending, etc.—the war had not completely broken out, and it was already quite a bit to get to this.
However, the Xuanming Sect's payment of the Dayang Group's military expenditures and so on was as high as 30 million top-grade spirit stones!
In addition, the leasing of the 'Beihai Port' by Dayang Group - Beihai City is open, but the most important component of Beihai City, Beihai Port, has been embraced by Dayang Group!
The lease period of the Ocean Group is 100 years, and it pays 1 million high-grade spirit stones to the Xuanming Sect every year. The North Seaport is about 10 kilometers in circumference, or about 100 square kilometers in total area, but in fact, because the boundary is irregular, and because of the coastline, the actual area is about 80 square kilometers.
In addition, the Xuanming Sect has also signed many unequal treaties, etc., and finally for the next fifty years, the Xuanming Sect will need to pay 8.6 million high-grade spirit stones to each holy place and the Ocean Altar every year.
Originally, Zhang Hao's proposal seemed to be 10 million, but after negotiations, it was finally reduced to 8.6 million - mainly 10 million, and the Xuanming Sect really couldn't take it. Every year, each family pays 8.6 million, and 68.8 million high-grade spirit stones will be paid for the war reparations alone!
This price is equivalent to that of a high-end, Iron Duke-class battleship. But unlike battleships, the reparations are gone, unlike battleships that can continue to make profits.
The entire "North Sea Treaty" reveals the bloodiness of capital, which can be called the best commentary on "Capital" published by Zhang Hao.
The only exception is probably the price of 1 million high-grade spirit stones per year, and in the lease of Beihai Port, the Xuanming Sect is relatively simple - the price of the Dayang Group is indeed very sincere.
In fact, in the past, the direct 'net' income of the Xuan Ming Sect in Beihai Port was less than one million high-grade spirit stones.
Many people have speculated that why should the Ocean Group pay such a huge price? 1 million per year, 100 years is a whole 100 million high-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to the wealth of 1 trillion lower-grade spirit stones. This is an unimaginable astronomical amount.
Could it be that the Ocean Group is subduing softness and sending warmth in disguise?
There has been a lot of speculation about the actions of the Dayang Group. Including the White Flying Eagle.
But saying that he had lost so much, Bai Feiying had an idea and thought of the 'war loan'. Because Nangong Zhi had a good exchange with the Xuanming Sect before, Nangong Zhi informed the Xuanming Sect that Dayang Group had a loan business, and Luzhou Bank was responsible for lending.
Even, the money for the purchase of warships in the country of Qixia and the country of Canglan was lent by the Green Boat Bank.
At present, the annual interest rate of low-risk loans such as commercial loans of Luzhou Bank fluctuates around 5 percent, while war loans are calculated according to the daily interest rate, which is 5/10,000 and rolls over interest.
Bai Feiying has found Zhang Hao now and wants to apply for a loan, preferably a commercial loan.
After this war, coupled with the contact with Nangong Zhi, Bai Feiying suddenly became smart this time, he wanted to come to the Dayang Group for a loan, and then buy technology from the Dayang Group.
The only way out for the Xuanming Sect is to imitate Nangong Zhi, who had not yet unified the country of Shaoze, and use loans and the technology of the Dayang Group to seek the future. At least one Nangong Zhi is an example!
At that time, Nangong Zhi and Shaoze were also in difficulty.
Zhang Hao agreed to Bai Feiying's loan application. However, in the process of going to Luzhou Bank, Bai Feiying also asked Zhang Hao about the Beihai Port.
Zhang Hao smiled lightly, "We naturally have considerations. We will not advise you for any reason. ”
Bai Feiying was unwilling and was a little provocative: "Many people say that this is a disguised overture by the Ocean Group. ”
Zhang Hao's footsteps stopped slightly, looked at Bai Feiying, and smiled lightly: "No matter what Dayang Group does, at least we can execute it according to our own plan." And you...... Only the right to sign!"
"You...... You ......" Bai Feiying spurted out a mouthful of blood in anger. The anger, humiliation, and helplessness of the past few days were detonated by Zhang Hao's words.
