Chapter 57 Exporting knives
The time for the second Ming trade trip is getting closer and closer, and in addition to the original trading items that have been determined, Australia needs to come up with more other products. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Glasses and mirrors are high-priced luxury goods, and once such things are mass-produced, the market will reach a certain saturation and the price will be reduced, which is predictable.
Therefore, in addition to focusing on high-end luxury goods, Australia also needs to come up with other things for trade exchanges.
Industrial development determines the focus of Australia's trade trip, in addition to the need to come up with new products, Australia's construction of Hong Kong in Daming has also been submitted to the agenda, the current production of cement and steel these things, in addition to a part of the local construction use, will reserve a small part of the ship, pulled to Daming.
Reinforced concrete and concrete are important materials for the construction of military fortifications, and since an overseas office has been established in Daming, the Executive Committee has the responsibility to ensure the safety of its own lives there.
The selection of weapons was handed over to Xu Renguo, and in order to make the staff work more at ease, five recoilless guns and ten submachine guns in the arsenal were prepared and sent to the office.
In this way, the office was relatively safe for at least a certain period of time, and it was difficult to blow up a reinforced concrete castle with the gunpowder of this era.
As the head of the foreign trade team, Wu Zhengdao's job in the country is to go to the various teams to understand the situation, to know how they can progress, whether they can take out samples before going out, or bring the finished products to Daming for trading.
According to the development allocation plan drawn up by the Executive Committee for each group, which group develops the product and gets an order at the time of trade, the more money they will receive for development in the future.
Although the big guys are now eating in a big pot and engaging in a collective economy, the generation of old people in the planned economy era, represented by Xu Renguo, profoundly understand the advantages between the planned economy and the market economy.
Therefore, it is certain that the model of big pot rice will definitely be banned in the future, and it is the trend of Australia to develop towards a market economy.
Now some people who have mastered technology have complained, they are not willing to take a little more salary than others and have to pay more hard work, which is unfair to them, it is true.
Everyone understands people, and the restructuring problem will come soon, and everyone is using the resources in their hands at this time, so Wu Zhengdao, the person in charge of the foreign trade team, is very enthusiastic.
As the person in charge of the foreign trade team, he is in charge of the promotion of commodity trading, if you want to be given priority to accept your things in Daming, you first need the foreign trade team to spare no effort to promote, without their promotion even in good things will be unattended.
Although they believe that they will promote their products even if they do not have a good relationship with the foreign trade team, there is no guarantee that everything will be pushed hard.
In fact, within the foreign trade group, there is indeed the concept of the main product, Wu Zhengdao will be based on the practicability of the product, and the market acceptance to determine whether to promote the main product, as for the main promotion will be relatively focused on consideration.
The heads of the various groups sit together, and this is a regular meeting that is necessary for every trade trip, and the Executive Committee needs to know what products each group has to offer for trading, and at the same time, it also needs to evaluate their products and whether there are technical leaks.
"Let's talk about the current progress of your respective ones, there are still three days before the second Ming foreign trade transaction, you must determine what you can do today, and it will be loaded tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Chairman Xu, our steel smelter, the main knife you can see, this is the use of the latest technology to create, compared with the same period of goods, in addition to durability is strong and not easy to break, of course, this belongs to a kind of alloy steel."
The steel plant is one of the largest factories in Chang'an, in addition to the cement plant, the steel chief has a steel bar production workshop, a common tool production workshop, in addition to the development of steel for artillery use in the military industrial group.
It can be said that the steel plant is the most important industrial heart of the Chang'an base, and the raw materials it produces are the basic needs of various industries, so the right to speak of the director of the steel plant is relatively strong in the executive committee.
"Director Hong's knives are good, we have tested them, and they are much stronger than those knives imported from Daming, which can basically meet the needs of local development and end the history of local knife farm tool imports, which is a big step forward for us."
For Hong Gang's contribution, everyone's evaluation is quite high.
In general, there is not much market for the export of ordinary civilian knives, you must know that this era is not like the later generations, a kitchen knife may be broken and may be directly replaced to buy a new one, subject to the limited level of iron ore mining and smelting, so in ancient times, it was generally broken and taken to the blacksmith shop to repair it, and would not be in a hurry to replace it.
Therefore, the main market for knives is still the Ming military, if you want to enter the Ming military market, it is not impossible to do this, in fact, there is no need for the Australians to do it themselves, as long as those businessmen get the agency, they will spare no effort to promote the good of Australian swords.
But now there is a question that it is not clear whether the export of military swords will bring some trouble to Australia, and whether Daming will have a conflict with Australia in the future.
However, I don't think this is very likely, after all, the thermal weapons used by Australia are not of the same grade at all when fighting, the weapons used by both sides are not at the same level, and Australia controls the number of exports, even if there is a conflict, it is limited.
In saying that the Ming Dynasty will enter the war period in a few years, is there such a possibility I don't know, then they are likely to need the help of Australia, Nanming has asked the Portuguese to help in the history, and Australia will definitely interfere with the Ming Dynasty.
So there is no need to consider whether there is a conflict or not, there is no big problem here, as long as the goods are transported to Daming to exchange for the raw materials needed back to Australia.
