For Kozaki Yuta, the tricks played by the Haihan people in the Port of Busan are nothing new. In fact, there has long been a precedent in the Port of Nagasaki to designate special areas for foreign businessmen.Before Haihan merchants came to Nagasaki, the local government took such measures against Portuguese and Dutch merchants, delimiting their local settlements on a small island called "Dejima" in Nagasaki Port On the surface, all life and trade activities can only be carried out within the scope of this small island.
But this special zone designated by the Nagasaki authorities is obviously not the same thing as the exclusive economic zone designated by the Haihan people in Busan Port.The purpose of the Nagasaki authorities is to gather foreign businessmen in one place for easy management, and to prevent these people from doing things under their noses.The special zone that the Haihan people want to build is an extralegal place that is completely free from the jurisdiction of the local government.
Perhaps the North Koreans could tolerate Haihan's request, but Yuta Kozaki did not want to see such a situation in Nagasaki.The country-locking policy pursued by the shogunate is very sensitive to the activities of foreigners in Japan. If Haihan hadn’t been coerced by force in the early years and obtained a special trading status in Japan, these Haihan people in Nagasaki Port should have been treated like Western businessmen. It is not allowed to go out at will within the officially designated area.
Ozaki Yuta didn't want to open the door for the Haihan people. He was actually very worried that once the scale was loosened, it would be difficult to tighten it. Therefore, after listening to Shi Chengwu's narration, he still didn't say a word, and he didn't rush to express his position on this.
When Shi Chengwu saw this, he was a little confused about his opponent's mind. The negotiation process was all about seeing tricks, but if the other party didn't express anything, it would be difficult to judge the opponent's weakness.Of course, deliberately not responding, it may also be that the other party wants to manipulate themselves to take the initiative.Although Shi Chengwu was young, he was quite calm under his father's training. Seeing this, he didn't rush to urge the other party, but just sat quietly waiting for a reply.
After a long time, Kozaki Yuta said: "Our country welcomes Haihan merchants to continue to expand their local trade scale. However, regarding the operation of fixed-line boats, the business projects of Haihan Bank, and the construction of Haihan special Wharf, these few things need to be discussed carefully.”
As soon as Shi Chengwu heard it, he knew that the opponent was really not simple. He wanted to reject all cooperation projects with hidden dangers as long as the sugar coating was not required.
But of course, this is impossible. The sweetness Shi Chengwu gave is bound to these cooperation projects. If it cannot be realized, there will naturally be no basis for cooperation.
Shi Chengwu was still very patient and did not rush to argue. Instead, he asked Tao Hongfang to come forward and explain the necessity of these projects to the other party.
Tao Hongfang said: "Master Kozaki, in the package plan we proposed, the items in it are not isolated, but interlocking, and none of them can be dispensed with."
If Haihan wants to further expand the scale of trade in Nagasaki Port, the two elements that will inevitably be involved are the transportation plan and the settlement method.Only if these two elements can provide more convenience for Haihan merchants and effectively reduce the operating costs of trading activities here, will it be possible to attract more Haihan merchants and resources to enter the Nagasaki market.
The operation of regular boats will undoubtedly greatly reduce the transportation cost between Nagasaki Port and the Haihan trading ports, and Haihan's advanced operation method can not only ensure the efficient operation of the boats, but also can obtain them in the first time Trade demand information from all over the world, in order to organize the purchase of goods, to ensure that the owner of the goods can get the most profit through these regular sailings.
But to achieve such an effect, first of all, there must be port facilities constructed according to the Haihan standard, so that whether it is dry bulk cargo or cargo shipped in standard containers, loading and unloading can be completed at the fastest speed, thus saving a lot of time .This may seem inconspicuous, but if each trip saves one day of loading and unloading at the port of Nagasaki, then over the course of a year, the benefits generated by the time saved are considerable.
If Zhoushan Dinghai Port is the destination, the time saved each year is estimated to be enough to run two more round trips between the two places.Moreover, the cost of building a dedicated pier is borne by Haihan. To the Nagasaki authorities, this is actually meat that has already been fed to his mouth. As long as he opens his mouth, Haihan will take the initiative to stuff this piece of fat into his mouth.
In addition, in order to allow Haihan merchants to complete payment settlement at Nagasaki Port in a faster and safer manner, it is imperative to open the operating restrictions of Haihan Bank.This is not only beneficial to Haihan merchants who have been doing business for a long time, but also brings a lot of convenience to Japanese merchants.
At present, foreign merchants in Nagasaki have realized settlement with Haihan banknotes, but Japanese merchants are still restricted from this financial system.Although many people have quietly used Haihan banknotes, due to government restrictions, Haihan banknotes are still not openly used for most commercial activities, so they cannot replace the metal coins minted in Japan for the time being.
"As long as we can negotiate these three projects, the follow-up cooperation will go smoothly." Shi Chengwu paused, and then raised his voice: "The trade volume of Haihan merchants in Nagasaki Port will increase in cost, no matter in the future Whether it is Osaka or Edo, it is difficult to compare the scale of trade with Nagasaki Port.”
Osaka and Edo are also the trading ports that Haihan is allowed to enter with permission, but because of the long distance, there are far fewer Haihan merchants going there than in Dasaki, but the two ports also have their own advantages, and they also have strong development potential.Shi Chengwu drew these two places for comparison, in fact, he was reminding Yuta Kozaki that if Nagasaki Port is unwilling to cooperate, then Haihan also has other alternative targets, and once Haihan agrees to cooperate and invest resources, then don’t It is not impossible for China's ports to catch up from behind.
For local officials like Yuta Kozaki, the volume of trade is equal to political achievements.It is not enough just not to make mistakes. If the answer sheet is not good enough, it is likely to be stabbed in the back.You must know that Nagasaki's pursuit is recognized as a fat job, and I don't know how many people are secretly staring at Yuta Kozaki's seat. If the trade volume here drops, or the tax paid to the shogunate decreases, someone will jump right away. Come out and attack him, try to take his place.
Kozaki Yuta is envious of Shi Chengwu's vision of trade development, but he also worries that after Haihan's local influence is further strengthened, it will be difficult for the government to restrain him.At that time, Haihan will cause some trouble in Nagasaki Port, and the news will spread to the shogunate, and he will be the one who will be liquidated and questioned at that time.
