Chapter 187: 187 Successful business and cooperation
Chapter 187 187 Business and cooperation ensuing
Soon, the second nobleman from the southern part of the Kingdom of Wright came over. Tang Mo knew that he was the largest nobleman in the southern part of the Kingdom and had a close relationship with the prime minister.
The other party also exchanged pleasantries for a long time when they came up, and then started to talk about the real purpose of coming here to find Tang Mo.
But before talking about his purpose, he first gave his bargaining chip: "The Prime Minister has always felt that the title of Baron cannot match your status, Mr. Tang. In fact, when I go back this time, I will definitely suggest to His Majesty the King that Tang Sir, your title is promoted to Viscount."
"Thank you so much! In fact, I would rather get the title of baron than to be promoted to viscount..." However, Tang Mo was going to use this bargaining chip to obtain a noble status for his Uncle Roger.
As expected, the other party directly agreed to Tang Mo's request without any hesitation: "I understand, who does Mr. Tang want to give him the opportunity to become a noble?"
Tang Mo didn't hide anything and told the truth directly: "My uncle, Mr. Roger, has noble moral character and is a well-known good person in the kingdom."
The earl immediately nodded and gave an answer that satisfied Tang Mo: "I am happy to become friends with Mr. Roger! I think it is too unfair for you to be rewarded by a baron. After I go back, I will definitely do it for you. Strive for it.”
"Thank you." Tang Mo did not refuse, because he knew that the other party would definitely have his own requirements.
Sure enough, the other party was not polite and said directly to Tang Mo: "Actually, I also want something from you. After I saw the C64 artillery in Wangcheng and the train on the platform, I had a thought in my mind. A very abrupt idea.”
"Let's talk, maybe I can help you solve some problems." Tang Mo didn't refuse, because he knew that if the other party could find him, he would definitely be able to help with the matter.
The earl immediately said: "Mr. Tang Mo, I hope my son can study with you."
“Huh?” This time, Tang Mo was a little surprised.
The other party smiled and explained to Tang Mo: "I have three sons, all about the same age, two nephews, two daughters and seven nieces. I hope to send most of them to you, please. You are my teacher and I will learn from you.”
"Ha... you are the first person to ask me for such a thing." To be honest, Tang Mo was a little impressed by this nobleman from the south, because this request really represented the foresight of a family.
A family that can first think of cultivating the next generation in the face of huge interests such as arms and railways should at least be said to be a qualified noble.
The other party bowed his head sincerely and asked Tang Mo: "I hope Mr. Tang will not refuse."
"I have a school." Tang Mo spoke directly and said to the count.
"Huh?" The count was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Tang Mo, somewhat disbelieving.
Tang Mo explained his school: "I founded a school called Datang Military Academy. I am the principal there and I also go to classes... You can send your children here and I will arrange for them to study in the school."
He told the other party that this school is full of talents that he has carefully cultivated, and he promised to treat them equally and pass on his knowledge and experience to all students in this school.
Even, he explained why this school is called the Military Academy, which also includes military management, military training, and military command courses.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Tang." After listening to Tang Mo's introduction, the other party was very satisfied with this school and understood what Tang Mo meant by establishing this school. The smile on his face could not be hidden. Okay, I thanked Tang Mo respectfully.
But Tang Mo emphasized the discipline in his school very seriously: "Let me declare in advance that I treat everyone equally. All students are my treasures, so they will not have any preferential treatment. No matter what other children are, they will only What can it be like, there is no back door, no small stove... If they are not good enough, I will expel them. In my school, only the elite will stay, not the scum. "
The earl made a firm promise to Tang Mo: "Understood! I will tell them that if they are fired by you, then they don't have to go back."
As a noble of a certain level, the Earl from the south knew that Tang Mo must be training these students as his confidants because he had such strict requirements on the students in this school.
It goes without saying that the benefits of being able to join a force when it is rising are of great benefit. Since Tang Mo is willing to accept these children, it represents an attitude in itself.
And the promise he made to Tang Mo also represented his attitude - the alliance between the two parties was officially established.
"With elders like you, they will become the top talents in the world." Tang Mo was very satisfied with the other party's attitude and praised him.
"Say hello to Miss Alice for me!" The other party bowed slightly and gave up her position.
"I will." Tang Mo raised his wine glass to the other party, and then saw a shiny golden fat man walking over.
To be able to rank Tang Mo so high on the list, this businessman definitely has a complicated background. And his dressing sense really reminded Tang Mo of a wealthy coal boss.
The other party is wearing gold and silver, and he really looks rich and noble. Once you stand there, it's like having the word "rich" written on your forehead.
But even such a fat man became cautious around Tang Mo. He first complimented Tang Mo, and then praised Tang Mo's arms business. Finally, he spoke and explained his purpose of coming here: "As the center of the kingdom, the royal city should have railways connecting cities in all directions, Bunas, Wolf City, the country to the east, and the south..."
Tang Mo also understood what the other party wanted. To be honest, he really wanted to share the cost of building the railway. This was not a big cake that he could eat alone.
So Tang Mo said lightly: "The railway from Bunas to the Royal City will start construction in a few months, but the price is indeed relatively expensive."
He spoke in a relaxed tone, as if this road was not worth a few dollars - but the fat man knew that this was definitely a big business worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins!
So he immediately took over the conversation, gave his commitment, and explained his requirements: "Our consortium can provide this amount of funds, but we hope to participate in this railway."
Tang Mo didn't refuse, and motioned for the other party to talk more: "Tell me about it."
The fat man thought for a moment and gave a price: "We will take 30% of the capital and 20% of the shares."
Tang Mo didn't agree immediately. Since the other party came up and paid back the money, he naturally had to ask for an exorbitant price: "Forty percent of the capital, fifteen percent of the shares."
The fat man was not unambiguous and made a very fair offer with a wave of his hand: "Forty percent of the capital, 20% of the shares!"
“Deal!” Tang Mo didn’t hesitate and nodded slightly to agree to the price.
"You are a generous businessman, Mr. Tang Mo." The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately beamed with joy and praised Tang Mo.
After negotiating such a business deal, Tang Mo also laughed and flattered the other party: "You are also very courageous."
"I won't say more about compliments. From now on, we can cooperate in all fields. I heard about your steam engine and I hope to purchase 300 units." The fat man said something surprising again and gave Tang Mo a big list.
Tang Mo was even more ambitious because he was no longer prepared to invest too much energy and money in the production of steam engines.
Since the elves and Cyric both have the ability to imitate steam engines, they might as well continue to focus on the high-end market and sell out the low-end products.
So he directly gave the fat man a more favorable condition: "How about I sell you a steam engine production factory? How about it?"
"Are you willing?" Fatty looked at Tang Mo in disbelief and asked subconsciously.
Tang Mo spread his hands: "Why are you not willing to give up? You can't make all the money by yourself, can you?"
Fatty is also a big businessman. He knew that what Tang Mo definitely wanted was not cash. In fact, he couldn't afford so much cash, so he said, "Well said! Mr. Tang Mo! I can sell 100% of the family consortium." I’ll give you three-thirds of the shares. I wonder if Mr. Tang is interested in taking it?”
Seeing that the other party was so arrogant, Tang Mo directly gave his bottom line: "If you can give me five percent, I will be very interested."
This fat man did not bargain, he nodded directly and said: "You are now the third largest shareholder in our consortium."
“You can also produce your own steam engine now!” Tang Mo also reminded the other party of the benefits.
The two of them understood each other tacitly. The fat man burst out laughing first, holding the drink and walking back: "Hahaha! Happy cooperation!"
“Happy cooperation!” Tang Mo also smiled to see the guest off.
This big businessman's power in the entire Wright Kingdom is also one of the best. Before Tang Mo's rise, this fat man even gave Jis of the Cyric Consortium three points.
However, after all, the opponent does not have access to arms, and its hard power is indeed not as good as Cyric, so it is definitely not as ruthless as Cyric.
But in terms of financial strength, he is indeed a good partner for Tang Mo. At least for now, the money in this fat man's hands is still very useful to Tang Mo.
And just after the fat man gave up his position next to Tang Mo, a nobleman and a beautiful woman stood next to Tang Mo in every possible way.
To be honest, Tang Mo had investigated this nobleman before, but he didn't know who the beautiful woman who came with him was.
