My Italian Chapter 90

"I didn't expect that Leifer and the others actually went to North Korea."

Carlo was looking at a telegram, which was sent by Lefer and others after they had just completed a task. In this telegram, Leifer introduced that there was an anti-China civil strife in North Korea, and they drove the Zhi, Jing II and other warships purchased by the Qing court to Busan to deter the Japanese who were making trouble behind their backs.

And the effect is not bad. The Japanese stopped immediately after seeing that the second ship Zhi and Jing actually appeared in Busan.

Because one piece of his fleet is not enough for these two ships to be mounted on patrol. The two Venice-class ships can be used as armored ships in front of the Japanese fleet.

And in this telegram, Yuan Xiangcheng's name appeared for the first time in Carlo's eyes, the young man who pacified the Shenjia coup, showed his ability for the first time. But the current Yuan Xiangcheng is not worthy of his attention. He is still paying attention to Li Zhongtang, Zhang Nanpi and others, because these governors are in charge of local power, and Carlo let Italy participate in the Sino-French war, not for that point of sale Arms money.

But it's not bad. Howard, the white glove, has brought in a lot of business for Italy.

Carlo put down the telegram jointly sent by Lefer and others, picked up the telegram sent by the businessman, and looked at Qing's return with satisfaction.

This is a purchase list, which records in detail the materials purchased by the provinces of the Qing Dynasty, mainly various machines. Among them, the machines for weaving, printing and dyeing occupy the majority, and there are also various equipment for shipbuilding. The total value of this list is as high as 110 million lire, and the return is quite handsome. It can also be seen that the Qing Dynasty has a rich background, and the trade surplus for hundreds of years has accumulated sufficient wealth for it.

This list can be sent back immediately after the end of the Sino-French war. It goes without saying that those who play a role in promoting it also know that, of course, this also has a lot to do with Italy's lowest price among all kinds of machines.

As far as looms are concerned, currently the textile machines in the Far East countries are of the highest quality in the UK, followed by France, then Germany, Austria, Belgium and Italy. Of course the price is the same.

And this time, in order to open up the Qing market, the various machines on the price list carried by Howard are generally 20% lower than the prices of Deobi and other countries. Such a price is very tempting for the Qing Dynasty, which is eager to develop its own industry. So while the Qing Dynasty had the most favorable impression of Italy, Mr. Howard traveled all over the southeastern provinces.

These lists are the results of its running.

In the face of Howard's achievements, Carlo of course paid attention to it. This was a good opportunity to open up the Qing market. In addition, this order can be regarded as a breath of blood for the domestic manufacturing industry in Italy. Alleviate their predicament of being suppressed by German products.

And for this order, Carlo is more nervous than anyone else.

Because this is related to whether Italian products can sell well in the Far East. In terms of quality, Italy is currently unable to catch up, let alone Britain and France, even Germany and Austria are incomparable. But in terms of service, Carlo still has some ideas.

Thanks to the praise of Huawei in his previous life, Carlo had a very good understanding of the company's early development in his previous life. At that time, Huawei's products were not comparable to foreign counterparts, and they relied on services to open up the situation. If Carlo doesn't say anything else, it's still okay to draw cats and tigers.

Thinking of this. Carlo called the captain of the guard, Filimic.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"This is the purchase list from the Far East. You immediately call the manufacturers and ask them to deliver goods to the customers in the Far East according to my requirements."

The captain of the guard took the list from Carlo and was surprised by the amount of the order.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll do it right away."

What is Carlo's request?

It is very simple, that is, each manufacturer lists the parts that are easily damaged, and sends more of these easily damaged parts when shipping. In addition to this, as long as the manufacturers receive orders, they must send maintenance personnel to be stationed in the Far East, ready to repair those machines at any time.

It sounds like this is very troublesome, and it also increases the expenditure of various manufacturers. But only Carlo knows that at present, when Italian products are not comparable to similar products, they can only fight for service.

As for whether these manufacturers are willing or not, there is no need to worry. Before the outbreak of the war, Carlo had already started preparations. He deliberately selected those manufacturers with good technology and difficult operations to negotiate an agreement with them, and the rules of the agreement were basically the Italian version of Carlo in the previous life combined with the actual situation.

For this agreement with various rules, these manufacturers who are struggling with business have no right to refuse, so they naturally agreed. However, these shrewd businessmen already have a way to deal with the issue of dispatching personnel to the Far East. Of course, we will not talk about large orders, and small orders. Basically, several manufacturers share a quota to save costs.

Therefore, this order can not only help Italy's manufacturing industry, but also help Carlo to control domestic capital, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

That's why Carlo pays so much attention to it. This can not only expand his power, but also use these orders to win over capitalists. However, this needs to be based on the fact that the governors of the Far East have a good enough opinion of Italy.

But speaking of good feelings, Li Zhongtang is currently very interested in Italy.

To be more precise, he was full of interest in the Italian Navy.

This time, the performance of the second ship Zhi and Jing in the naval battle will not be mentioned. It can be described as wonderful. In addition, the Italian officers and soldiers who operate the warships are also unanimously recognized~www.mtlnovel.com~ For this reason, Liu Buchan also specially reported to Li Zhongtang that the future naval officers and soldiers of Beiyang can go to Italy to see the world.

Liu Buchan's words gave Li Zhongtang another layer of meaning. For this reason, he specially invited Zhou Fu, the chief confidant, to discuss his thoughts.

"Yushan, how about recruiting another instructor for the navy master?"

In the study, Li Zhongtang opened his mouth to Zhou Fu, who was beside him, and expressed his thoughts.

Teaching, in fact, there are already many Beiyang navy teachers who are currently preparing, and there are all from all over the world, no matter they are mainly British. If you really want to recruit a teacher, Li Zhongtang will not

As a confidant, Zhou Fu certainly knew the meaning of Zhongtang's words.

"Does Zhongtang want to divide the rights of the British?"

Facing Zhou Fu's temptation, Li Zhongtang did not deny it at all.

"The British have too much power on the ship, which is not conducive to the construction of the navy. I think that people can practice well. Maybe I can ask someone to come over and weigh one or two."

That's right, Li Zhongtang just wanted to weigh the power of the British against the navy he was planning to build. At present, there are more than 30 various teaching consultants among the naval divisions in the UK, and there are only more than 10 people in other countries. Moreover, Lang Weili was strongly recommended by Hurd of the General Administration of Customs. This Hurd cared too much about the navy, so Li Zhongtang had to pay more attention.

So taking this opportunity, Li Zhongtang wanted to test Italy's attitude. Of course, he did not intend to replace Lang Weili, and it would be better to have an extra backup to avoid the navy being restricted by the British.

Facing Li Zhongtang's thoughts, Zhou Fu thought about it and said. "Be prepared, and think deeply."

"Okay, you Yushan, you have also learned to play the official accent, and you're going to have to ride a horse."
