C2302 What kind of method was this? (1/2)
What kind of routine is this?
A good round of negotiations had created new problems for Fang Guan, but now was not the time to complain about anyone, the most important thing was to fix it.
Xiao Letian was very clear, Fang Guan's sudden appearance would definitely alert Gladden, especially this Little Demoness who actually dared to take out her gun in public. This showed that she had a very important secret to tell.
Furthermore, Fang Guan had the intention of strongly interrupting the negotiation, this was something Gladstone could sense.
Although the leader of the Liberal Party did not believe that the secrets of the Berkeley's Restaurant had been leaked, because he did not believe that the Chinese would have such a high intelligence capability, it was clear that the Chinese were very wary of Britain.
How difficult it was to win trust from others! The situation that Xiao Letian was able to create with Gladstone was almost completely destroyed by his. This crazy woman was truly a witch.
Xiao Letian had to take care of this disadvantageous situation, and make Gladstone believe that he could let go of his guard, so the following words couldn't be spoken lightly, but had to be said once again.
”Alright, I'll apologize for my subordinates' recklessness first. Hopefully, it won't affect our mood later on. What did we talk about just now? Oh, Golden Age's crisis, right? And my pessimistic prophecy about England, I know you are not convinced, but I believe that with your intelligence, you will understand my pains if I tell you one or two of these things! ”
”The first Industrial Revolution is already coming to an end. This isn't to scare people, but from the perspective of science and technology. There isn't much room for improvement in an era where the steam engine is used as a power source.
Productivity, this is what humans have always been pursuing. Starting from the primitive people, savages that are skilled in cutting stone would have a higher productivity than those who are bare-handed. In that era, productivity was the ability of people to hunt and harvest.
”In the era of farming, it's even more obvious. People with metal tools can more easily reclaim and harvest the seeds. Even metal weapons have an advantage on the battlefield, and metal smelting technology increases productivity …”
”In the middle stages of The Age of Great Navigation, your country was the first to invent a steam engine and promote it on a large scale. All this depends on productivity increases... ”
”Because the UK's textile, smelting, and metal processing industries are more productive than the rest of the world, your products will be able to compete with the world at a very low price. Take a simple example …”
”iron nail and iron wire produced in the United Kingdom can be sold across half of the world to the Great Qing. The retail price is actually several times cheaper than the production cost of the Great Qing! How do you think the iron smelting industry in Great Qing will survive? ”I can only die from the impact …”
”Daqing is already like that. Besides, many of the other lower ranked countries in the world have no way to fight back against the impact of British industrial products!”
Xiao Letian's flattering caused Gladstone and the eavesdrovers to feel extremely proud. But before they could laugh, Xiao Letian changed the topic and spoke in an ear-piercing manner.
”What does productivity increase rely on? ”It all depends on the development of technology. A country and its people need to have some technology before they can be promoted …”
