Chapter 173 The East Continental Company Was Established, And The Steam-Powered Ironclad Fleet 【3/5
White Jade Palace.
In the throne hall, the last time so many people gathered here was when Ulysses was officially founded and crowned.
Today, however, Ulysses the Emperor of the Empire sits on the throne.
Sitting on both sides are Hector, King of Themisia Kingdom, and Sofia, Queen of Veronese Golden Feather Kingdom.
For today's consensus meeting, Sofia spared some time and rushed to the scene by taking the train from Salamandis City, Blue Ocean City Road.
In addition to this, Kang Jinal, the ambassador of the Kingdom of Guerjialong, was also invited here today.
When Conguinal saw the meeting room, not only the emperor Ulysses was present, but also the ministers of the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Education and other departments.
His heart tightened slightly, such a big battle made his heart tense too.
However, Ulysses didn't make Conguinal so nervous for too long, he just smiled and took the initiative to speak out about today's purpose.
"Ambassador Conguinal, I heard that your country has recently dispatched more than 500 overseas students.
"It seems that Your Majesty and the ministers of your country are very interested in everything about our Prouker Empire."
Conguinal nodded hastily, with a respectful expression.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, there are many aspects of your country that we need to learn. Our Majesty and all the adults are very anxious, so we sent a lot of foreign students at one time. Please don't be offended by your Majesty."
Ulysses shook his head.
"Of course we don't care about such small things. Now our two countries have a good trade relationship, and our diplomacy is also very harmonious. We don't mind this kind of exchange of international students.
"However... I wonder if your country is interested in making a bigger deal with us?"
Conguinal looked confused, not understanding what Ulysses meant.
And when Ulysses sent the prepared papers, 803 handed them to Conguinal.
When the other party saw the plan of the cooperation project above, the whole person gasped in horror.
"This...Your Majesty, is it true what you said about establishing a joint venture factory in Qierjialong? Is it even a steel factory?"
Ulysses smiled and nodded.
"In the future, the East Continent Company will have a lot of investment industries, and these investments are all in the St. East Continent, so we need allies in the St. East Continent."
"Your Majesty is a wise monarch, and the relationship between our two countries is also very good. Therefore, I don't know if your country has any idea of taking a share in the East Continent Company."
"Of course, we don't force it. If your country doesn't like it, we can find other..."
"We do!"
Almost without waiting for Ulysses to finish speaking, Waijinal hastily made a statement.
But after he finished speaking, he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"This, I am personally very willing, but you also know, Your Majesty, this matter is too big, I need to report to our Majesty, and wait for our Majesty's personal decision."
Ulysses nodded.
"This is natural, but recently our three countries are preparing to form a large sea team to go to the Kingdom of Chierjialong to carry out some early commercial activities."
"If Your Majesty is willing to bless our future business in the East Continent and join the company as one of the shareholders of the East Continent, then we can just sign the contract at that time.
"This is not a small matter. Once your country chooses to join the East Continent Company, you will not only need to provide sufficient support for the company. The amount of shares your country can obtain in the company depends on how much money your country can give. Bless."
"Ambassador Conguinal, there are some things you must report clearly to His Majesty of your country. This is a great benefit."
"Only our first investment in the early stage has a total of five billion Lukes, and there are seven large-scale ironmaking plants planned to be built, not to mention canning factories, textile factories, etc. Such a factory."
"This year's dividends will be more than your country's annual tax revenue. What's more, if your country's Majesty's royal family buys shares, the money will belong to the royal family in a legal sense... ..."
Ulysses looked serious, and there was a strong bewitching in his voice.
Sure enough, when Conguinal heard the huge benefits, he couldn't keep calm.
The dividend of one shareholder seat in one year is the tax of a country for the whole year!
This kind of Arabian Nights words, uttered from Ulysses' mouth, made Conguinal feel that what the other party said was not only without any exaggeration.
There are even reserved words of modesty.
The one with a solemn expression immediately nodded.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely report this matter to our Majesty carefully!"
Conguinal hurried down to get ready.
He is planning to go back to China in person this time. It just so happens that the trade fleet that sent the overseas students here last time has already been loaded with goods from the Prouker Empire and is ready to return to China.
And not long after he returned to his mansion, several White Jade Palace guards came to the door in person, brought two huge wooden boxes, and came to Kangjinal.
"Ambassador Conguinal, here are the preliminary regulations of the East Continental Company, as well as the shareholding mechanism and project proposals of some companies. The Founding Father said that with these ambassadors, we should be able to better report to His Majesty the Member Kingdom."
Hearing this, Conguinal hurried forward to open the wooden box, and neatly bound book pages appeared in front of him.
After roughly climbing over, Conguinal sent away several guards with a dull expression.
Looking at the at least two hundred documents in front of him, Conguinal was dumbfounded.
Originally, he thought that the East Continent Company proposed by Ulysses was just a temporary idea, and whether it would be successful or not would depend on the opinions of the Qierjialong Kingdom (cfah)
But when he saw these plans, he understood instantly.
He regards the Kingdom of Chirjaron as too important.
The East Continent Company has lost the Qierjialong Kingdom, so it is entirely possible to find other countries to join.
For example, the huge religious country to the west of them, the Holy Kingdom of Saint Antines.
These projects one by one, even their Pope, absolutely cannot be ignored.
And Ulysses is willing to give the Kiljaron Kingdom a choice, just as he said, because of the good relationship between the two countries...
"Your Majesty, whether the kingdom can reach a higher height depends on whether you can seize the opportunity this time!"
The other side, right after Conguinal left.
Ulysses, Hector and Sofia came to Ulysses' study.
While drinking tea with each other, they were discussing some things about the East Continental Company.
Pre-maintenance and deterrence of the Holy East Continent, including the dispatch ratio of the Kiljalong Kingdom's fleet, command personnel, and the size of the war authority.
Crazy distribution of shares and interests.
Ulysses was able to negotiate with them only because the Three Kingdoms, as countries in the Saint-West Continent, naturally had the basis for an alliance.
Whether it's in the war on the Saint-Western Continent, or in the board of directors of the East Continent Company in the future.
All three parties are undoubtedly natural allies.
"The fleet dispatched for the first time must have a strong military combat capability. If necessary, I think we need to deliberately show our muscles ten times in Xindong Continent."
"Veroney's Golden Feather Navy is very idle, I can allocate half of the strength, almost sixty warships, and ten thousand naval soldiers who can use muskets."
So Fia said lightly while sipping black tea.
That indifferent tone seemed to be indifferent to how much casualties she would cause by showing off her muscles.
Hector, the King of Timisia, looked sideways slightly.
It is worthy of being the woman Ulysses has taken a fancy to, no wonder she can become the world's first female king.
When it's time to be courageous, it's really no worse than their male monarchs.
Hector looked at Ulysses' gaze and pondered for a moment.
"The Temisian navy is limited, and I can dispatch all the navies at once, but...the future coastal defense of Timisia will require the protection of the Prouker Empire."
As soon as these words came out, Sofia couldn't help but took a deep look at Hector.
The father of that stupid woman, Yejilina, is really as good as Ulysses said.
Sending all the navy to join the armed fleet of the East Continent Company will naturally have more benefits that can be divided.
However, the other side handed over the country's coastal defense to Ulysses without reservation.
It is not only a vote of honor, but also a show of favor.
I have nothing to lose at all.
Ulysses also smiled lightly, noncommittal, and looked at the eyes of the two of them.
The two were very curious about what power Ulysses, the major shareholder of the Eastern Continental Company, would mobilize in the future.
Yuli didn't mean to ink it either, and placed a document in front of the two of them.
"Eastern Continent Peacekeeping Fleet...Could it be that you have set up another fleet for this company?!" Suo Fia's voice was full of shock.
Ulysses smiled lightly: "It doesn't count, this fleet was originally intended to be the Second Fleet of the Western Ocean, and it was restructured temporarily.
Hector looked at the document in his hand, and the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.
"Eight steam-powered ironclad ships?! Are you sure you didn't split them up from other fleets?!"
"Your Majesty Ulysses, I have always been curious, where is the shipyard where your Prouker Empire built these warships?!".
