The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"Therefore, we would like to cooperate with Marshal Zhang to help you complete reunification as soon as possible and escape the bitter sea of ​​war as soon as possible."

Morton said this with great confidence, and looking at his serious expression, it really seemed to be the case.

If Zhang Ye didn't know the moral character of this group of people, he might have been moved.

"Then what should I give? After all, there is no free lunch in this world!"

Zhang Ye pretended to know nothing, wanting to see what shameless demands these foreigners could come up with.

Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I just beat the kids as if it were raining - just have fun!

"What the Marshal said makes sense. Our main concern is promoting world peace and development. We don't place much importance on rewards."

Morton's eyes were full of joy. He didn't expect that Zhang Ye was so easy to talk to.

From this we can see that their strength is not as strong as it appears.

"However, since it's aid, there must be some conditions. If the Marshal is willing to sign a transfer contract, our cooperation will begin immediately."

"Tell me more about it."

Zhang Ye crossed his arms and pretended to listen attentively.

"Our request is simple: control of Haizhou Port for a hundred years!"

Morton stretched out his finger and smiled casually.

In his opinion, Zhang Ye should not refuse this request.

After all, there are wars everywhere in Daxia now, and the economic development is in a mess, so there is no point in having a port.

Rather than keeping them as a burden, it is better to sell them in exchange for weapons and ammunition to supply the troops' daily losses.

"Heh... want Haizhou Port?"

Zhang Ye couldn't hold it in any longer and looked at him with a playful smile on his face.

These foreigners really think everyone else is a fool and are asking for a hundred years of control over Haizhou Port.

What the hell is the difference between this and robbery?

Do you really think that others are idiots and can’t see the important value there?

"How about this, Mr. Morton, let's try a different deal."

Zhang Ye thought for a moment, unwilling to let go of the innocent person in front of him, so he started thinking and planned to try other plans.

"Control rights must not be sold. I am a Daxia person. I have my own principles and bottom line. I don't want to be called a traitor after my death, and I don't want to be despised by future generations."

"So, how about I give you the right to use Haizhou Port for a hundred years?"

"During this hundred years, you may dock and use the pier as you please!"

"This one……"

Upon hearing this, Morton's originally relaxed brows instantly frowned, and a strong feeling of dissatisfaction surged in his heart, as if countless ants were gnawing at his heart.

The difference between "one hundred years of use rights" and "one hundred years of control rights" may seem like a subtle difference in words at first glance, but in fact there is a world of difference between them.

One hundred years of control. Within the stipulated period of one hundred years, they are the masters of this sea area and can do whatever they want, even controlling passing ships like docile lambs and charging fees at will.

However, if the right of use is only for one hundred years, the situation will be very different.

They do not have absolute control over this right. They can only find a place to dock like ordinary merchant ships, carry out monotonous transportation work, occasionally do trade, and earn a meager profit.

Moreover, in this process, they will be restricted everywhere, which will undoubtedly pose a huge obstacle to their carefully planned plans.

So, when faced with this seemingly unbiased and compromising condition, Morton was in an inner struggle.

There is always a feeling that it is a waste to eat and throw away!

"Why? Mr. Moulton thinks it's inappropriate?"

Zhang Ye saw that he looked conflicted and comforted him with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. Even if the deal doesn't go through, there's still righteousness. If you feel it's not suitable, then go back and reconsider. After all, this deal is no small matter. Sakura Nation wants to do business in Donglu and has even paid a deposit of 100 million dollars."

"We are talking about a hundred-year business this time, so we must be cautious."

"Yes, the Marshal is right. I do need to think about it."

Morton had an awkward smile on his face, but he kept thinking about what Zhang Ye had just said.

In order to infiltrate Donglu Province, Sakura Country actually put up a deposit of 100 million yuan!

This news was really beyond his expectations!

No wonder Zhang Ye can remain calm, it turns out he has already established contact with the Sakura Country.

From this perspective, their information was indeed a little delayed, which led to the incompleteness of the plan formulated against Zhang Ye.

It seems that we must formulate a new investment plan and we must not let those Sakura people take the lead and occupy the advantageous position.

"Marshal, this matter is of great importance. I need to go back and have a meeting with my superiors. I won't bother you any more."

Morton figured out what was going on and quickly stood up to say goodbye.

This matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. They are already one step late and must not delay any longer.

"Well, Mr. Morton, you're welcome to come visit us often. I won't see you off."

Zhang Ye smiled and nodded. Although he spoke politely, his butt seemed to be stuck to the chair and he didn't even show any intention of standing up.

As the two foreigners left, Fang Yu, who had been eavesdropping for a while, walked out quietly and muttered with a puzzled look on his face.

"What do they want to do with Haizhou Port? There's nothing noteworthy about that place. Is it necessary to spend so much effort?"

"It's called exploratory contact."

Zhang Ye rubbed his eyebrows and sighed slightly tiredly.

"These foreigners are smarter than the other. They're asking for a key location right away because Haizhou Port is unimportant. This will make you suspicious and make it difficult to cooperate."

"And this group of people is also scheming. They're asking for a hundred years of control. Haizhou Port isn't doing well right now, but what about ten or twenty years from now? A hundred years is a long time. As long as they can quell the war, they're guaranteed to make a profit on this deal."

"Just like those Sakura people, why would they be willing to spend 100 million dollars to enter our territory? What business can earn 100 million dollars these days?"

"It's just a ticket to enter the game. These foreigners have been eyeing the land under our feet from the beginning to the end. Cooperation, business, it's all bullshit!"

"So, the Marshal is planning to cheat them?"

Fang Yu secretly glanced at his profile, wanting to see the smug look on his face.

"What do you mean by 'trick'? I've clearly marked the price this time. I'm a man of integrity. If we say you're going to use the property for a hundred years, it's a hundred years of usage rights. I'm definitely not playing tricks on you!"

Zhang Ye straightened his back, feeling that not only had he not cheated anyone, he had even suffered a great loss.

I was also anxious just now. How could I let the matter of 100 million dollars in Sakura Country be revealed?

Now that he has something to compare, how can he continue to ask for a high price!
