After Zhang Qiyun returned to the legation, he immediately wrote a telegram and sent it to Chen Ling.
"Your Majesty, I will try my best to negotiate with the German Empire to reclaim Jiaozhou Bay.”
When Chen Ling received the telegram, he smiled.
Although the content of this telegram was very simple, it revealed a lot.
The underlying meaning was that Germany also agreed to talk.
As long as William II agreed to negotiate, everything would be fine.
After all, taking back Jiaozhou Bay in this negotiation was not Chen Ling's main goal.
If he wanted to take back Jiaozhou Bay, did he still need to negotiate?
He would just take down Shandong. He did not believe that Germany would dare to send troops to fight him.
The reason why he wanted to discuss the Jiaozhou Bay issue with Germany was to give an explanation to the ministers. On the other hand, it was to cover up his intention to help Germany strengthen its national strength. The last aspect was to strengthen the national strength of the Chinese Empire.
Therefore, this negotiation was Chen Ling's plan to kill three birds with one stone.
Chen Ling did not care how much the German side offered in the end. In any case, the various supplies and firearms he was prepared to sell to the German side would definitely far exceed this price.
As for what Germany would do if they wanted to buy firearms but had no money.
That's simple. He just had to exchange the goods.
If it really didn't work, they could exchange it for raw materials. After all, the Chinese Empire didn't reject anyone.
As the days passed, the negotiations on Zhang Qiyun's side also sped up.
Zhang Qiyun followed Chen Ling's instructions and went to the Junker nobles to do business.
Come, let me show you a treasure.
When the Junker nobles went, they found rice, flour, cooking oil, military canned food, and so on.
What kind of treasures are these? We have them too.
Zhang Qiyun said," I know you have it, but I'm selling it at a low price."
The Junker noble was dumbfounded after he reported the price.
F * ck!
The selling price of this grain was even cheaper than the cost of their cultivation.
The price of canned food was also cheaper than the cost of raising cattle and sheep.
With such a cheap price, what else was there to say? Of course, they would buy it.
In the beginning, the nobles of Juncker were still frantically fighting for it, afraid that they wouldn't be able to buy it.
However, after a while, the Junkers realized that the Chinese Empire was terrifying.
The Chinese Empire would send over as much as they bought.
In the end, their warehouses were filled to the brim, and all kinds of supplies from the Chinese Empire were still being transported to Germany at a crazy rate. This made people speechless.
This was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that they found that they were starting to run out of cash.
Even though they could earn several times more by selling the resources that the Chinese Empire sold to them.
However, the problem was that it would take some time to get rid of these supplies.
The German government also discovered this problem. In just two to three months, the trade deficit between Germany and the Chinese Empire had reached a record.
Seeing this situation, the German government officials who were negotiating with Zhang Qiyun immediately demanded an exorbitant price.
Originally, they had been talking about 30 million Gold Mark, but the price had increased to 200 million Gold Mark.
Zhang Qiyun was not angry when faced with such a situation.
The next day, he went to the Junkers again. This time, he wanted to buy something from them.
Railroad?
Bearing?
Wood?
Cloth?
The envoy of the Chinese Empire must be retarded. How could he sell these things, and in such huge quantities?
However, if they gave him a deposit, what else could he say? He just bought it.
Just like that, Zhang Qiyun spent money like crazy. He bought the finished product and the raw materials. In any case, as long as it was in Germany, he would buy anything that could be sold.
The Junkers were also going crazy. The order from the Chinese Empire was too big for them to take.
However, it didn't matter. They could be second-hand dealers and pass on the orders that they couldn't finish to the factories in the allied countries.
In just four months, the total amount of trade between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire had reached an astonishing 2.72 billion gold marks.
What kind of concept was this?
In 1899, the total value of the German NPK was about 52.4 billion gold marks, and the net capital formation was 9.3 billion gold marks.
However, in just four months, the total value of the goods that the German Kingdom had sent to the Chinese Empire had reached 1.22 billion gold marks, which was more than one-eighth of the total value.
Moreover, the Chinese Empire was selling low-value products at a low price.
On the other hand, although Germany did export raw materials, most of them were industrial products with high added value.
With this, Germany not only earned money, but it also accelerated the pace of industrial development in Germany.
At this time, Germany finally understood.
Jiaozhou Bay was nothing.
Jiaozhou Bay only earned a small amount of money in a year.
As long as they had a good relationship with the emperor of the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire would continue to provide them with such cheap and good-quality materials. This was the most important thing.
With a wave of his pen, William II returned Jiaozhou Bay to the Chinese Empire.
Don't talk to me about money. You're looking down on me if you talk to me about money.
Our German Empire and the Chinese Empire have friendly relations and are brother countries.
Talk about money!
Wouldn't that hurt their brotherhood?
After Zhang Qiyun reported the situation here, he received Chen Ling's instructions and took out his trump card weapon.
Brother, don't say anything.
Our brother has just established a country and lacks everything except firearms.
Take these firearms and use them. When you're done using them, tell us and I'll give them to you.
When William II saw the 98K and 8x scope, the MG42 general machine gun, the anti-infantry mine, the A7V tank, and the CHF-21 light tank, he was completely dumbfounded.
When he came to his senses, he was very excited. He seemed to see the German Empire conquering Europe.
Brother, don't say anything. You just established a country. If you lack anything, tell me. I'll give you whatever you want.
They lacked specialists, engineers, and teachers.
William II waved his pen. Give, give all, give enough.
But brother, you have to transport more of your firearms over.
Just like that, the deal between the German Empire and the Chinese Empire was completed.
