Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1790 Private Multinational Corporation
"I think your idea is right, it will indeed become a big business. I will be happy to be your factory's distributor in Europe and West Asia, and I will use my relationship to help you quickly open the market. Logo of Imperial Chemicals Will spread throughout the Atlantic and Mediterranean!"

After Sir Henry visited Li Jinde's chemical plant, he admired Li Jinde's products very much.

The businessman's intuition told him that the chemical industry would be a very promising industry!

"Let's talk in detail here." Li Jinde saw that Sir Henry was willing to act as a Western dealer, which just saved him the trouble of going to Europe to open up the market in person.

Capital is all about efficiency. To earn the most money in the fastest time, it is not necessary to go to the battle in all places in person. Use local businessmen reasonably to open up the market, and then go to the battle in person when necessary.

Li Jinde and Sir Henry discussed privately that the Imperial Chemicals Group would send a team of employees to London to open a branch and a chemical plant for small-scale production, while the bulk of the chemical products would still be supplied locally and transported to local warehouses.

That is to say, the city of London sets up a branch office. The local head office transports the goods to the branch office, and then the branch office sells the goods to Sir Henry’s Levant Company. Levant Company develops channels and sells goods, forming a upstream and downstream chains.

So a non-governmental organization multinational company was established in this secret meeting.Imperial Chemicals Group took the lead in establishing a branch in the City of London, becoming China's first privately owned multinational company. After that, the products printed with the four Chinese characters of "Imperial Chemicals" were sold all over the world. Later, a Paris branch was established one after another. , Athens Branch...

Now Imperial Chemicals Group doesn't think so much, it just plans to set up a London branch.

Sir Henry's Levant Company originally traded with the Levant region of the Ottoman Empire, but now it is gradually transforming and has become one of the important local agents of Chinese merchants.After all, Levant has been dealing with the local area for decades.

He became an agent, and what he earned was the price difference. He bought goods from Huaxia at a preferential price, and then sold them to others at a high price through the channel of local snakes.

Sir Henry and Li Jinde negotiated a share agreement, and the two parties signed a memorandum of cooperation.If the two parties are only cooperating for the first time, it is certainly not so easy to trust each other.However, Li Jinde already had a basis for cooperation with Sir Henry when he was working in London.

Sir Henry sighed: "Huang Xiushan, who replaced you in charge of Western Company, is a conservative, but it is still comfortable to deal with you."

"Conservatives are more stable, while we radicals like to spend a lot of money, and we will easily go bankrupt and lose everything. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages." Li Jinde is not very familiar with Huang Xiushan, the second executive director of Western Company, and he has not done much after the handover. Paying attention to the matter of Western Company, seeing Sir Henry complaining about Huang Xiushan's style at this time, he still has to defend his companion.

"I am looking forward to our future cooperation. I hope we can make a lot of money. If I have a bottle of wine in my hand now, I will open it immediately to celebrate." Sir Henry said.

"Really?" Li Jinde clapped his hands and called a factory manager, "Bring over the wine I put in the factory, and get some ice cubes from the cellar."

Soon the steward placed the tin bucket on the wooden table. The bucket was filled with ice cubes and two bottles of wine were lying there.

"My God, you enjoy it too much here!" Sir Henry thought that there is only tea here, but he never thought that Li Jinde even prepared iced wine.

"Don't stereotype our image of the East, we will also buy and use products from other countries. Of course, the official talk is to drink tea, but now the cooperation has been negotiated. For our future cooperation to go smoothly, we will not get drunk or return. "Li Jinde took the initiative to pour wine for Sir Henry.

When Li Jinde returned to his mansion, Li Jinde was a little dizzy, but he met Sir Henry by accident and solved the problem of the Imperial Chemical Group going overseas, which was worth it.

"Why are you drunk? Have you seen Yinger? Why haven't you come back so late?"

Seeing that her son looked drunk, Aunt Li put her hips on her hips and asked questions dissatisfied.Most of her head has silver hair, and the years are not forgiving.

"Where did Yinger go to play with her mother?" Li Jinde was thirsty and poured a cup of tea.

"Her mother has returned to Yanshan Planetarium to be on duty. It's not like you don't know it. I think you are drunk!" Aunt Li slapped the table violently, but her momentum remained the same as before.

Li Jinde was so frightened that he quickly woke up.He remembered that Selina, as the deputy curator of the Yanshan Planetarium yesterday, said that she had discovered the ninth satellite of Saturn or something, and she indeed went to the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain.

"Where did Yinger go?" Sir Greenville and his wife also asked Li Jinde.

"I really don't know, usually she won't come back so late..."

Li Jinde and the others did not expect that Li Yinger would be left in the military lord's mansion to eat.

This day was Chu Yun's birthday, and it happened that Li Yinger came back with Chu Lingyun, so she stayed in the mansion for dinner by the way.Originally Chu Yun didn't like birthdays, and he didn't even have a family in this world, but now that he has a family, he doesn't ignore birthdays as before.

Li Yinger's relationship with Chu Lingyun was mediocre, but her relationship with Chu Xueer was very good, and it was Chu Xueer who forced her to stay.

Li Yinger rarely had the opportunity to meet Chu Yun, who was of the same generation as her father Li Jinde. Given her generation, there were very few people who could meet Chu Yun.

Chu Yun also rarely saw Li Jinde's daughter. He heard that Chu Xue'er had a good relationship with her, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Li Jinde is also a person who just follows the trend and plays well.

Chu Yun didn't take it seriously, but said to Sophia: "Are you going to go back directly with the other missions, or stay for a while longer?"

"It depends on what they want." Sophia turned to Chu Zixin and Chu Weier's two children.

"Father, I want to stay here for a longer time. This place is much more fun than London City, and there are a lot of delicious food!" Chu Zixin said.

"Me too." Chu Yun's youngest daughter, Chu Wei'er, Princess Victoria, said childishly.

"Then stay for a while longer, it's best to correct your mother's accent..." Chu Yun always felt that both Chu Zixin and Chu Wei'er were affected by Sophia's English accent.

After all, their Chinese was taught by Sophia, a half-assed.

"Are you disliking my accent? But I can't help it, and I can't change it." Sophia suddenly lost her temper.

"It's okay, I can still understand it." Chu Yun said deliberately, causing everyone to chuckle.
