Chapter 293: Canned Food Market
At the same time as Li Zhiqing and Fan Dimen were negotiating, there was also a discussion in China about whether to keep the market north of the Yangtze River or the market south of the Yangtze River. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, Li Zicheng is getting closer and closer to the time of entering Beijing, and it can be said that once he enters Beijing, with the addition of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the northern market will definitely be impacted, which will reduce the share of Australian exports.
According to the statistics of the foreign trade department, the trade export volume of the north only accounts for 35 percent of the entire Daming market, of which the southern market is larger, which must be preserved, otherwise the entire Australian economy will be seriously threatened.
For a large export country like Australia, in addition to the Ming Dynasty, there are not many markets with large populations and spending power, Japan will become the second largest market, and Europe may be affected by the war, but Australia has changed its export strategy in a timely manner, changing the civilian necessities to military goods, and ensuring that the market share is still very large.
In the next few years, Europe's export trade may be dominated by the supply of military materials, after all, for them, military materials are what they need most, such as windproof kerosene lamps, camping tents, canned food and other military materials are what they need.
There are no export restrictions on these things, and theoretically speaking, these can also be considered civilian goods, but they are not used much in civilian use now.
Canned food is impossible for anyone else to buy except for some businessmen who go far away, and the price of canned food is relatively expensive, after all, the process technology it uses is very complex.
Generally speaking, the main problem of canned food is to solve the problem of preservation, if the problem of preservation is not solved, then it can not be stored for a long time.
Canned food is a must-have item for the army when marching and fighting, and in order to have a variety of flavors and avoid anorexia among its soldiers, the canning factory has developed a variety of flavors.
Now we are talking about the market problem of Daming, the northern market will definitely be affected, no one buys ordinary materials, so what about military canned food, these things are always wanted, and tents.
Both Li Zicheng's army and the Manchu army would definitely need these things, so the point of discussion was that if you want to open up a new market, you have to make another choice.
Whether to export goods to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this problem is very serious, on the one hand, Australia has to deal with him, on the other hand, it exports materials to him, so let Daming know that it will definitely not be a person on both sides, even if it is necessary, it needs to be done secretly.
Although there are not many people in the Australian army who like canned food, through feedback, it is known that Europeans like this item very much, and some nobles will even eat Australian canned fruit to see who has a high status.
It's like being able to drink Chinese tea in the past, in the past, big guys were proud to drink Chinese tea, but now it's different, now it's canned food.
The market in the north must not be guaranteed, so they can only export military materials such as canned food, and Nanming also needs these things, and they definitely need these things when they march and fight.
The first batch of canned food has been shipped from the mainland to Hong Kong, and will be supplied to some troops in Liangguang through Shen Yulong to see how effective it is, and a small part will be put into the market to see the reaction.
However, in order to gain more markets, the Australian government has proposed a cheap version of canned food, that is, the price of canned food is set within the range that ordinary people can afford.
In this way, the market will expand and there will be more consumer groups.
For this first proposal, everyone still expressed their support, although the current canned food market sales environment is very good, but in fact, the price is a bit high, the Dutch have responded to this problem, so that Australia can make some cheap, after all, European countries have fought for so many years, are a little unaffordable, too expensive things they are really reluctant.
They would probably agree to spend more money on weapons, but it would be a bit of a waste for them to spend so much money on food, and now it's certain that neither side can afford to take the other out at once.
That's why I feel the pressure, and now it's hard to fight for a long time, and whoever can't hold on to it may be defeated.
So anyway, it's still a little bit more economical.
The cheap version of canned food will definitely be very popular in the Ming Dynasty, as far as the financial resources of the Southern Ming Dynasty are concerned, it is already very good to be able to buy canned food, if other factors are not excluded, they are likely to take out a loan from Australia.
Loans to buy weapons and materials to fight against the Manchu Qing south, but also to pay for the cost of sending troops to Australia, these money is like a mountain for the Southern Ming court, they will definitely not buy that kind of expensive, with the Ming Dynasty's deep-rooted hierarchy, let the soldiers eat so well, don't even think about it.
So the cheap canned food has been unanimously agreed by everyone, and everyone feels that as long as this version comes out, the market popularity is definitely higher than the current one.
If nothing else, the Spaniards will buy more, and if the price is too high for them to bear, they will definitely order in large quantities.
Therefore, the market for people's biological resources north of the Yangtze River has decreased, and Australia should appropriately replace the original material guarantee market with other materials.
In addition, the southern market is Australia's main export market, and it must be ensured here that at least the Manchu army cannot be allowed to cross the Yangtze River.
If nothing else, this is the main export center of light industrial goods, and the domestic factories are still expanding, and if the market factors at this time are the factory losses, the capitalists will never allow this to happen.
In one case, the military also proposed to guarantee the south of the Yangtze River in order to ensure that the Southern Ming Dynasty could recover the territory in the north, otherwise it would be really difficult to rely on the land of Liangguang.
The gap in population and material resources is not equal, and when the Manchu Qing Dynasty conquered other places, then for them it was to deal with the two Guangzhous with the strength of the whole country, and how difficult it was to imagine how difficult it was.
But the difficulty of keeping the south is actually not small at all, not to mention anything else, just the independent imperial courts, warlords and peasant rebel armies in the south, and the staggered strength of all walks of life, is the main reason for the final Manchu Qing to dominate the world.
If there had been a unified leader in the south, it would have been not so easy for the Manchus to unify the world, so at this time, it may involve the issue of Australia sending troops, and only Australia's military intervention can ensure the unification of the south. (To be continued.) )
