To be honest, even a time traveler like Lu Chen, who has modern thinking, was at a loss as to what to do with the person in front of him.
He not only offered his warhorse resources for trade, but also wanted a Chinese surname. You have to say that the person in front of you is truly a talent.
Many people cannot see the situation clearly, and many people who see the situation clearly still end up in a dilemma.
There are very few people who can truly see the situation clearly, cut the Gordian knot, and have the courage to put everything they have on the line.
The person in front of me is definitely a talent.
Whether from the perspective of cherishing talents or from the perspective of being the first to pay the tribute, Lu Chen felt that he could not treat others unfairly.
So he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a smile and said, "You are a man who can accomplish great things. You will definitely make a fortune in the future. In that case, why don't you take the surname Jin? I hope that wealth will open the door to your home in the future. You can be called Golden Arches!"
"Golden Arches? Golden Arches!"
After muttering these words softly, Jin Gongmen fell to the ground and bowed deeply to Lu Chen, saying, "Thank you, Master Imperial Master, for the name you gave me."
Seeing this scene, the Liao and Jin nobles present had different expressions.
Some are envious, some are jealous, some are contemptuous, and some even want to rush up and take their place.
With such a leader, the nobles below could no longer sit still.
What agreement to advance and retreat together, what strategic resources that cannot be exchanged, all get out!
Given the current situation, let’s first try to figure out how to get through this winter.
Some people say that they can not only provide war horses, but also the best cattle and sheep.
Some people also said that the furs produced in their territory were quite good, and hoped that Lu Chen would give it special consideration.
Some people also said that their fiefdoms produced high-quality ginseng and a variety of medicinal herbs.
Lu Chen took careful note of it, thinking that this could be used as a profit point.
Fur is a treasure in the hearts of middle-aged women, and wild ginseng is a rare skin care product.
Of course, in Lu Chen's view today, this business is too small. His real purpose is to obtain the mineral resources in Liao and Jin.
Whether it is coal, iron ore, or other mineral resources.
Moreover, Liao and Jin not only had vast grasslands, but also the land of white mountains and black waters. The land there was fertile, and as long as it was cultivated, it would become a large granary.
If they had been more ambitious and used some means to push the Liao and Jin people further north, the Siberian Plain would be to the north.
Once we find the potato species, we can plant it all over the place.
What, where do you say people come from?
Haha, there are so many countries around you, are you afraid that there is no one around?
Many times, Lu Chen doesn't mind letting history go back to its old path.
Lu Chen has always felt that the resources in the Far East are so rich and should be developed.
Even if you don't develop it now, you should hold it in your hands. It will always make you feel more secure when the thing is yours.
So he said with a smile, "I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic. Since everyone is so open-minded, I can't be stingy. How about this, I'll give everyone another benefit."
"Within five years, the train we developed should be ready for trial operation. At that time, we will lay the tracks for you free of charge and run the train directly into your territory."
"From that day on, you can enjoy free freight services for 20 years. No matter how much cargo you transport, it will be free during these 20 years."
"Yes, I understand that you don't understand what a train is. All you need to know is that it runs on fuel, doesn't need to rest, and can transport our goods non-stop."
"This is also a future business for our group. You are all shareholders. In the future, everyone will receive dividends from the railway's profits, as will the profits from other businesses."
"When the shareholders' meeting is held next year, you should be able to see the real train, and then everyone should have a better idea of it."
The Liao and Jin nobles present were all overwhelmed. Many of them rubbed their heads and wondered if they had drunk too much.
Before they came, the best-case scenario they envisioned was that after making many concessions, Lu Chen would be willing to do business with them.
At that time, they didn't have a specific concept of what Alzhen said about the company or something like that, and they just thought it was a means for Lu Chen to restrict them.
No one present had expected that after joining the company, they would not only receive various preferential treatments and be able to do business with the company on their own, but they would also be able to get dividends from some of the company's big businesses.
Doesn't that mean they can get their two cents from inside and outside?
No! If you consider that there is no need to spend money on the subsequent transportation of goods, then this is definitely three times the cost.
At this moment, these Liao and Jin nobles suddenly came to their senses and asked why the shameless Western Xia had to repair relations with the Great Qi. After all this fuss, there were actually such huge benefits involved!
No wonder many people in Western Xia were unwilling to fight. Think about it, if you can make money just by lying down, who would be willing to fight and kill?
The more these people thought about it, the more excited they felt, as if a better life was beckoning to them.
At this moment, in their eyes, Lu Chen was no longer the Grand Master of Qi, but simply their adoptive father.
There was nothing much to say, and the group signed the contract on the spot.
Looking at the pile of contracts in his hand, Lu Chen's smile became even brighter.
He simply asked someone to send up a sand table, which showed a bird's-eye view of the future new Bazhou City after its completion.
Lu Chen, along with a group of nobles, pointed to some places on the map and said, "Don't accuse me of not taking care of our own people. This is what the new Bazhou City looks like. The places I just pointed out have the highest traffic volume. If you are interested, hurry up and buy a few shops."
