Chapter 1769
With regard to the existence of the post-Jin regime, Haihan's senior officials have the same opinion, that is, it is necessary to vigorously curb its development process, and the means required for this include but are not limited to military strikes, and a complete blockade of it from the sea is also to achieve Such purpose.As for the use of smuggling to search for local products, divide the internal relations of the Jin Dynasty, and even buy important figures, Haihan's senior management and intelligence agencies have considered it, but in the end they still did not adopt this plan.
After Huang Taiji came to power, he began to appoint a large number of Han subjects and generals. The gun manufacturing technology brought to Liaodong by Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others was also valued by Huang Taiji, and it has begun to be equipped in batches in the Han army banner.Although these weapons are still relatively primitive in the eyes of Haihan, they cannot immediately change the gap in combat power between the two armies. Kim's moves are still viewed by the military as a potential crisis.
What Haihan officials are worried about is that although it is possible to open up an intelligence channel through smuggling to do business with Houjin, this will also have the same effect on Houjin, allowing this closed regime to have the opportunity to pass such a method. Obtaining information from the outside world, and this is a situation that Haihan does not want to happen.Haihan would rather give up the benefits brought by the smuggling trade, and he does not want to allow this regime whose civilization is far behind the times to have more opportunities to contact the outside world.
The commercial interests of a small number of people are more important than the national interests of Haihan. There is no need to conduct special discussions. Haihan has already set the tone through the executive committee. Even if Schneider can be invited to come forward, it still cannot change Haihan's official decision.Schneider has already used the term "national policy", which naturally means that there is no room for maneuver in this matter.
Zhan Gui sighed and said, "Boss Shi, at the beginning, your old man said that there was a lack of capital injection in Liaodong. Without further ado, everyone raised more than 30 yuan and invested it in the name of Qiong Lianfa to build a warehouse in Lushun port. The shelf was set up, and then I invested some money one after another. There is always 50 in total, right? The account issued by Qionglian is supervised by the Ministry of Commerce, and you must know the profit and loss. How much was invested last year, and the income No matter how much you come back, you don’t need to say much, it’s right to support the country’s construction. But if Liaodong has no money to earn, then everyone will have no motivation to throw money into it!”
Immediately, several people echoed their voices, saying that they had lost a lot in it, and if this continued, they would no longer be able to maintain the business in Liaodong.Schneider sneered secretly in his heart. These businessmen did raise funds to invest in local infrastructure facilities in the early stage, but the long-term income of these industries is very stable. Unless Haihan withdraws from Liaodong, it is absolutely impossible to lose money. It is not that they have no money as they claim. It can be earned, but it can't reach the level of huge profits.
Schneider has seen this kind of endless cry of suffering before, so of course he wouldn't take what Zhan Gui and others said seriously.He also understands that the purpose of the merchants' expressing this is to want the government to give them some special care, so that they can have the opportunity to operate some lucrative business in Liaodong.
"You don't have to complain in front of me. We have cooperated for so many years. How have the officials treated you badly?" Schneider tapped his finger on the table lightly and said, "Golden State is full of waste, and there are some businesses that can be done." There are many, why should you bother with those businesses that are too risky?"
"Then ask Mr. Shi to show you the way!" Zhan Gui responded quickly when he heard that Schneider's tone seemed to have loosened.
Schneider said with a smile: "Everyone here is a veteran in the business field. Where can I guide the way? Logging yards, quarries, shipyards, brick kilns, carts and horses... If there is demand, you can make money. There are a lot of industries, Jinzhou now has a labor force of tens of thousands, and the operating cost is low, and the money can be put into operation immediately, and you don’t have to worry about profits.”
The old Jiang Hu mentioned these industries that Schneider mentioned. If it was a colony closer to Hainan Island, they would probably not be too picky, and they would have already invested in it.However, Liaodong is too far away, and they have to send management and technical personnel to the local area to operate these industries. The increased costs in this regard may offset the reduced operating costs due to the low price of local labor, but the operating risks caused by the local environment are much higher. Much higher than that in the south, and with their small calculations, they are naturally unwilling to take the initiative to solicit these deals that are not too profitable.
Li Nai replied: "Mr. Shi, we all understand the principles you said, but you must also understand why we don't do it. We are all on our own, so we don't need to go back and forth in circles! Mr. Shi wants If we really want us to operate some industries in Liaodong, we must get some preferential policies, after all, we still need to make money to do business for a long time."
Schneider nodded and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but the preferential treatment I can give you is, at most, tax relief for the first two years. If you want other conditions, then unless you go to Golden State yourself Talk to the chief over there. Now Sha Xi is in charge there, that is, the chief Sha who used to work in the Guangzhou Office and Hong Kong. He must be familiar to you. If he is willing to give more preferential terms, Then I'm fine here."
Schneider kicked the ball thousands of miles away to Golden State. Even if these businessmen wanted to talk to him about the conditions, they had nothing to talk about right now.The condition given by the Ministry of Commerce is to reduce or exempt taxes for two years, no more, no less, but for these businessmen, the business in Liaodong is like tasteless, it’s a bit tasteless, and it’s a pity to throw it away mean.
If you really want to give up, businessmen in other places may take up all the industries mentioned by Schneider for the two-year discounts.If Haihan continued to push the front line north in two years and occupied a larger territory in Liaodong, it would be too late to invest in the local area by then, and there would have been no pits left for them, southern businessmen.After all, they have all witnessed the development of Haihan with their own eyes, and two years is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in the situation in Liaodong.If you don't bet with this one, then it is very likely that the final result will be to lose the entire Liaodong market.
Schneider expressed his attitude, and everyone's minds became active immediately.Some people still think that it is not worthwhile to continue to invest in Liaodong when the returns are not satisfactory, and they are already thinking of retreating; while some people think that since the operating costs of the previous two years can be reduced, it is better than no discount at all. , At least two years of operation to see if there are any better prospects.If the situation in Jinzhou is still not alive after two years, then it may be possible to make a small profit by selling the property and recovering the investment at that time, and it will not lose too much no matter how bad it is.
However, these specific industries do not necessarily need to be invested in the name of Qiong Lianfa. As Schneider said, since everyone's old acquaintance Sha Xi is sitting in Jinzhou, the corresponding investment conditions can be sent to Go over there to discuss with Sha Xi alone, instead of revealing his business intentions here.To put it bluntly, although those present are all shareholders of Qiong Lianfa, except for a few large-scale industries invested and developed in the name of Qiong Lianfa, the industries that everyone operates will still have some competition.
Schneider talked about this with the shareholders of Qiong Lianfa, and he offered to leave first.In addition to dealing with the group of Qiong Lianfa, he also had to meet with Tao Donglai and discuss this year's trade arrangements with Annan and Fujian, two hard-core allies.
Haihan has already signed various covenants with many people, but among them, the two who have the strongest relationship with Haihan and the deepest bond of interests are still Annan Zheng's and Fujian Xu's, and even Qiong Lianfa In this kind of trade organization, there are also shares of the two of them.As for Haihan's most important foreign trade cooperation partners, institutions such as commercial and shipping companies under these two names are naturally indispensable.Military cooperation, including arms trade, was basically finalized two days ago, and now it is time to determine commercial cooperation projects.
After a little bit of persuading the businessmen, they sent Schneider out together.The place where everyone met was Zhan Gui's mansion, a great merchant. Although there were only four entrances, the area of each entrance was two or three times the size of an ordinary courtyard. It was considered a first-class mansion in the local area.One mu of land is specially set aside for the gate, all of which are paved with flat marble slabs, for the guests who usually come to the gate to park their cars and horses.
Nowadays, box carriages are not a rare thing in Sanya. Almost every family of the rich merchants present has at least one. Decorative objects are all eye-catching when they are swaggering through the market.The carriages parked outside Zhan's house were all produced by Haihan, and it looked like a carriage and horse dealership.
Except for a small national flag on the front of the car, Schneider's special car has no other decorations, and it doesn't stand out in the middle.But even from a long distance, you can still recognize the difference of this car at a glance, because there are several armed guards with short guns on their waists standing around it, to prevent idlers from approaching the car.
Before Schneider got into the car, he turned around and said: "Everyone, there are frequent exchanges of people and goods between North Korea and Jinzhou. Maybe you can think about it again, how can North Korea be included in your trade system?" .”
At this time, Schneider didn't know that the North Korean envoy Li Xi had proposed to the military to garrison troops, otherwise he could have more firmly announced the close relationship between Haihan and North Korea to the merchants, so as to attract them to the direction of Liaodong invest.
From the geographical location of Seoul, the voyage to Shandong Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula is much shorter than to Zhoushan, Zhejiang, and most of the Shandong Peninsula still belongs to Ming Dynasty. If Ming found out, there would inevitably be a lot of diplomatic troubles, so their preferred trading place was Lushun Port on the Liaodong Peninsula.Schneider is implying that these businessmen, if they feel that the Golden State is too small to allow them to fully use their fists, then there is a larger potential market in North Korea that can be developed.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, someone's expression changed slightly.The establishment of diplomatic relations between North Korea and Haihan was a matter of last year, but before Li Xi came to Sanya this time, the shareholders of Qiong Lianfa basically had no chance to deal with North Koreans.Moreover, when Li Xi came to Sanya these days, he was almost always attending various diplomatic activities, and for the time being, no one thought of going to play tricks on this envoy from North Korea.
But when Schneider mentioned this, some people remembered that there was still such a problem, and immediately decided to think carefully, should they find an opportunity to visit the North Korean envoy first, and learn about the valuable products of North Korea? What are the needs that you can benefit from.Although North Korea is thousands of miles away, as long as there are enough profits, the distance is not a problem at all.
When Schneider got into the car and left, seeing that everyone was still bowing and seeing them off, he felt quite complacent at the moment.Over the years, businessmen from all over the world have regarded him as the God of Wealth. It is said that some people even enshrined his statue specially, and he has begun to accept incense and worship at a young age.Schneider, though an atheist at heart, doesn't mind enjoying the reverence if others regard him as a god.
Schneider raised his hand to check the time, the dinner should have been over for a while.The place agreed with Annan and Fujian is not far from here, I just hope they didn't wait too anxiously.
But when he arrived at the place, he found that Tao Donglai hadn't come yet. After asking Zheng Zuo and Xu Yuzhuo who were already there, he found out that when the dinner was about to end, several high-ranking Haihan officials said they wanted to discuss matters and left first. It was because of something that we had a meeting.
Since Tao Donglai hadn't arrived yet, Schneider didn't want to make decisions on his own, so he chatted with them about irrelevant topics first.Zheng Zuo took the initiative to mention the opening of a maritime trade channel with the North Korean envoy the day before yesterday, and wanted to hear Schneider's opinion on this.
Schneider praised: "My little prince is fine. For such a big matter, we can discuss it with the North Koreans quietly! In my opinion, this is of course a good thing, and it is good for both of you. But North Korea's navigation industry is not good. It’s too developed, probably Annan can only organize a fleet to maintain this trade route.”
Zheng Zuo nodded and said: "I think so too, and General Xu also expressed his interest in participating. At that time, our two families will each send half of the ships to form a mixed fleet and go directly to the capital of North Korea for trade. .”
Schneider thought to himself that I just gave an idea to those businessmen, and I met competitors so soon, now it depends on who can put it into practice faster.
