The second plenary meeting on trade matters was held on the evening of the third day.

Everyone had been busy going between the Nicole, the Pride and the docks throughout the day, and when the last batch of 1,000 three-inch shells had been carefully transported into the holds, the entire fleet was ready to go to sea, and the fleet was ready to go.

At this meeting that evening, the two topics discussed were very important.

The first topic is how to present our identity to the outside world.

The name of the Australian Federation proposed by Peng Qiang and others earlier was already an established fact after going to sea to meet the down-and-out Portuguese governor Pimont and dealing with the Kingdom of Sulu, and the name of the country seemed to have been acquiesced by everyone, so there was nothing to discuss about this matter.

However, that only solved the problem of a country name, and the issue of everyone's identity to the outside world was not solved.

At the meeting, Mr. Sun first raised a question: how to explain the origin of this Australian federation?

Obviously, the essence of this question is how to explain our origins, and we can't say that we have crossed over from the old world, right?

Everyone nodded their heads, well, yes......

The world cannot accept a person of suspicious origin, let alone a large group of people of suspicious origin.

Now that we're going to Macau to do business face-to-face with the people of this new world, we must have a cohesive and convincing way to introduce ourselves.

And it is very important to have a unified voice, otherwise, once there are contradictory statements, it is better not to explain.

But the problem now is that we can't say that our group of people are from the future, and then we will be labeled as crazy, no matter what era it is, no one wants to do business with crazy people.

If you can't tell the truth, can you only tell lies?

After discussion, everyone thought that it was also very inappropriate, and if they didn't say this one false, they would use ten more lies to round the previous one in the future, and then use a hundred lies to cover up the ten falsehoods...... Just kidding, the history of the old world fully shows that something big will happen if this vicious circle continues!

And people don't want to lie to their future relatives and descendants, so what should we do?

At this time, Sun Lao proposed a concept called "vague truth", which he said should minimize the burden of our speech.

Sun Lao's specific suggestion is as follows:

First of all, it should be made clear that we are descendants of the Han Chinese who fled overseas after Yashan.

That's not true for us, but it's perfectly fine.

After all, we're Han Chinese, right? Judging from the appearance, we are authentic Chinese children, we look like Han people, with yellow skin, black eyes, and black hair, no one doubts this, right?

Okay, so what about after the cliffs? It seems to be right, the so-called Yashan Hou can be understood as the descendants of the survivors of the Song and Yuan dynasties after the sea battle at Yashan, or it can refer to the Chinese Han people who were unwilling to submit to the Mengyuan Dynasty.

As for whether it refers to the former or the latter, then leave it to future generations to examine the evidence, anyway, we must not be lying when we say this, right?

Even if you are on a polygraph, even if you talk in your sleep at night, if we introduce ourselves like this, there is a high probability that we will be able to be convincing and not blushing and heartbeat, right?

Well, the question of who we are is solved, so where do we come from?

Of course we're from the Old World! Let's get it straight.

Because we did run from the old world to the new world, and then settled in a place called Australia, and then multiplied and established a country, you see, that's right, right? Honestly, right?

As for where is the Old World? It must be that continent, because we are behind the cliff mountain! See, the words came back again.

And in this day and age, the term New World is not our invention, and the people on the Mayflower a few decades ago didn't set sail from the Old World, England, to a new world, that New World?

In addition, people nowadays often refer to Eurasia as the Old World, and the Americas and the like as the New World, that is, the New World.

So, when we say that we make a living from the old world to the new world, literally, the world is completely understandable, and basically it does not arouse the doubts of others.

What's more, after our so-called Qunya Mountain, there are still some traditional Chinese cultures more or less, right?

For example, Chinese characters and language, of course, because they are far away from overseas, in the wilderness, and cut off from Chinese news, it is normal for this custom to change!

For example, our square characters are written with a lack of pen and strokes, and the costumes are not the same as those of the mainstream Chinese, so that the language is also very different.

The first two items can be understood, but what about the transformation of language? Then it's easier to understand, dialects, different places on the mainland, let alone overseas? So everything that makes us different is actually very natural and normal in the eyes of outsiders.

Think about it, is there a lie in our rhetoric? Literally, not at all! Even if the person next to your pillow listens to you talking in your sleep, he can't show a flaw, right? So, do you have a psychological burden to say this to your family and children? Maybe there is, but the burden is already small......

Of course, the only problem we need to avoid is the way to get from the old world to the new world – that is, time travel.

People in this era usually think that we arrived on the Australian mainland by boat, of course, hundreds of years later, some people may say that this group of people crossed over, but what will happen in a few hundred years will be said by others......

Mr. Sun talked eloquently and said a big push, and everyone nodded frequently when they heard it, saying Mr. Sun, you are worthy of being a leader, you are not a politician and you are very condescending, top you!

So, on the question of our origins, everyone is in a unified voice.

The second issue is the question of how to intervene in the world.

In other words, what values we show to the world and how to intervene in world trade, obviously this is a big question!

This topic was jointly raised by Zhu Beiguo and Li Junming.

The two of them believe that in terms of our current strength, it is impossible and should not be very strong to intervene in this new world at the beginning, and we are such a small number of people at present, obviously we don't have the strength to pretend to be in the limelight everywhere.

Our current development strategy can be summed up in one sentence, that is, "make a fortune quietly".

Zhu and Li believe that this time they went to Macao to do business, in principle, they should "quietly enter the village and shoot at the place without ......"

However, everyone at the scene was a little puzzled and asked Zhu and Li to explain in detail.

So Zhu Beiguo said to everyone that this was just a metaphor, that is, we should appear in Macao as a peaceful person.

Of course, in reality, it is definitely impossible to quietly enter the village, and we can fully foresee that when the Nicole and Pride arrive in Macau, it will definitely cause a sensation, as we can know from what we saw when we visited Hollow Harbor.

However, we should appear in a peaceful manner, and not run outside the city of Guangzhou on a whim to show off our might...... Ay! Don't laugh, I know you people in the Fire Pond Club must have such intentions! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Beiguo turned his face and looked at the group of young people next to him with a smile, and said:

"Don't tell me that when you arrive in Macau, you plan to go to the Qing court, and then drive the Nicole into Lingdingyang, and then go to shell the Humen Fort!

Then I fantasize about asking the Qing court to pay you tens of millions and 800,000 taels of silver, just like we did with Sulu.

Here I advise you, don't think about this kind of business, if you really want to realize your ideas, you can't do it without more than ten or even twenty years of buried development! ”

"It won't take that long, will it?"

"yes, we'll all be old by then!"

"Hey! Ay! I'm just figuring it a metaphor, where would it take that long, but not right now, right? ”

The witnesses were dissatisfied with the atlas, and Zhu Beiguo hurriedly added an explanation.

"Brother Zhu, don't pay attention to them, these people actually want to go there and pretend to be a coercion, and then ...... my sister by the way"

In the midst of everyone's clamor and complaints, there was a little embarrassment on the faces of the people in the Huotang Club at the scene, because some of them really wanted to do this......
