Chapter 261: Tentative Cooperation
"Well, yes, it is indeed authentic Biluochun, and I am very happy to be able to drink such good tea in a foreign country!"
Hearing this, Louis was also very happy, and said with a smile: "It's good that Mr. Nan likes it." ”
He looked at Nan Li's smile and continued to ask quietly:
"Mr. Nan didn't just come to the Ice and Snow Kingdom to represent Dahua to attend our Majesty's birthday banquet, right?"
"How could Duke Louis say that? I sincerely greet the Lady on behalf of Dahua, and wish Her Majesty a long and peaceful life. ”
"Of course!"
Louis shrugged, did he guess wrong? He thought to himself: whether you have other purposes or not, it doesn't matter, there are some things we can talk about, so he pretended to be light-hearted and said:
"Respectful Li, don't be nervous, I have never doubted Mr. Nan's sincerity, but I think the relationship between the two of us should be closer than now, including the relationship between our country. ”
Nan Li was stunned when he heard this, his brain was running at high speed in an instant, and he began to think about the deep meaning of Louis's words, Louis is a country Zaifu, and he will definitely not say such a thing for no reason!
On the surface, this is to deepen the cooperative relationship with Dahua, but on the dark side, it is ......
The economic crisis of the past few years has brought the entire Western economy to a slump, and although there are signs of recovery in the past two years, it is already at the end of its strength, and it is in urgent need of a strong injection of fresh blood.
And Dahua is undoubtedly the best choice.
Louis's suggestive words calmed Nanli's heart instead, and he quietly took a sip of tea and smiled:
"Aren't we good friends, we at Dahua have always regarded the Ice and Snow Kingdom as an important partner. ”
Louis took a deep look at Nanli, a little anxious in his heart, in fact, only he and Nujun knew how bad the economy of the Ice and Snow Kingdom was now, the prosperity of the Ice and Snow Kingdom was temporary, under the prosperity, there was a huge crisis of the capitalist monopoly economy, agriculture was in a long-term recession, the industrial start was seriously insufficient, a large number of workers were unemployed, and the monopoly market was gradually increasing the gap between the rich and the poor.
An ice kingdom can withstand an economic crisis, but if it were to do it again, the kingdom of ice and snow might not know what it would become.
Moreover, the Ice and Snow Kingdom is like this, not to mention the other member states of the West, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.
Therefore, winning over Nanli is also the conclusion that he and the female monarch have reached after many discussions.
Dahua is the only important trading partner that can significantly alleviate their economic pressure!
And today he came to test Nanli for the female monarch and see the other party's tone.
Louis didn't want to play Tai Chi with Nan Li, and he asked himself that Tai Chi couldn't catch up with the Chinese, so he went straight to the point:
"Dear Li, I don't mean that, I mean that our two countries can strengthen cooperation in all aspects, especially economically. ”
Nan Li now understands that it seems that the Ice and Snow Kingdom needs to strengthen cooperation with Dahua more urgently, so he knowingly asked: "How can you strengthen the economic law?"
Seeing that Nanli finally stopped going around in circles, Louis breathed a long sigh of relief and said in a low voice:
"I hope that our two countries can sign a free trade agreement and break down trade barriers!"
Nan Li took a long breath, he didn't expect the Ice and Snow Kingdom to be the original idea,
Once the trade barriers are broken, the import taxes and tariffs of the two countries will be greatly reduced, which will stimulate a large number of goods from the Ice and Snow Kingdom to flow into the Dahua market, and the same high-quality and low-cost Dahua manufacturing will quickly flood the Ice and Snow Kingdom market, and even the entire Western market.
Moreover, listening to Luis's tone, it is not simply the signing of a free trade agreement, but the kind that is relatively in-depth, and may even cancel the tariffs and non-tariffs on most goods! It may even ban the trade protection agreement of domestic goods.
This will undoubtedly bring great benefits to both countries, and of course it is also a challenge, but the most affordable is the people of both countries, because once the free trade agreement is signed, the high prices will definitely fall in a small area! The quality of goods will also be greatly improved.
Because of the intensification of competition, it will inevitably cause companies to work hard to produce more high-quality and inexpensive things that are more in line with the needs of the people, which is actually very good for the people of both countries.
Of course, there are disadvantages to this, it depends on who is more competitive in the goods of the two countries, natural selection, survival of the fittest is always the law of social survival.
Nan Li was silent, he thought about it for a long time, this matter was something he hadn't considered before he came, he couldn't make this decision for the country, but after his careful consideration, on the whole, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages, but there was one problem, the market of the Ice and Snow Kingdom was too small after all!
It's not worth it, of course, in the face of the current crisis-ridden Ice and Snow Kingdom, Nanli hopes to squeeze out more benefits in other aspects.
Louis looked at the silent Nan Li, and was very worried in his heart, Dahua was the dragon of the East, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart if he could agree to their request.
"Dear Li, we sincerely hope that you will consider this request, we know that for a behemoth like Dahua, although the market of our Ice and Snow Kingdom is very small, we have a huge market in the entire West, and once the free trade agreement is signed, your goods can flow into the entire Western World through the Ice and Snow Kingdom!"
Looking at Nan Li, who was still unmoved, Louis was really anxious at this moment, but his expression was quite calm, his voice was a little heavier, and he emphasized:
"I know that Dahua's economic aggregate is a hundred times that of our ice and snow kingdom, and Dahua has a huge market, Dahua's economic development is very rapid, it may be in the short term to remove the trade barriers between the two countries, there is not much benefit to Dahua, but many things have to be looked at in the long run, I think Mr. Nan, you are a smart person, my proposal is actually a win-win situation. ”
"A thousand years ago, Dahua had trade with us through the land Silk Road, and later opened up the Maritime Silk Road, why not deepen this exchange and cooperation?"
Louis's words made Nanli very moved, but after all, this matter is very important, and he has to think carefully, and he can't bite to death in one bite.
"Duke Louis, we can discuss this matter, and I think there is a great hope of cooperation, but I do have a few requests. ”
Louis nodded, "There is no such thing as a free lunch" in the world, and they all know this truth in the West.
"Okay, Mr. Nanli, you say. ”
