The airship bombing squadron will go directly to Xinzheng by train. Then by midway flight to the Yanqi front. But the squadron did not use the flag of the Qin army. The second is the banner of the Yan Army. This is mainly because: The Qin army didn't want to go to war with Qi too soon. Although the Qin State can attack the other side through the bombardment of the Heavenly Army. But to implicate South Korea. For this. The Qin army had to resort to such methods to evade "international" moral responsibility.
Han Shu is a woman who can't be idle. She quickly put the request for this visit. asked people to compile a document and submit it to Meng Yi.
Han Sook is on one side of the negotiating table as the leading figure of the South Korean representative. The other side. It's Meng Yi. He calmly looked at the other party's papers. And behind them are their staff and assistants.
The prime minister's office does not have such a large place for negotiations. The meeting venue was temporarily chosen at the Chang'an Military Academy. The security aspect here is quite perfect.
"Questions?" Han Shu took the initiative to ask. Maybe it's not the first time to come to the relationship. Han Shu is very familiar with this place. She knows everything about the recipes in the cafeteria. It is also the familiarity of the environment. It made her look very relaxed.
"Oh. Hold on. I haven't finished reading it yet. Meng Yi said.
Han Shu gestured slightly. The document clearly informed the other party of the situation of Qin merchants in Korea. And elaborated on the fact that a large number of raw materials of the Qin State were hoarded in Korea. These raw materials are pretty much what the entire industry desperately needs. But because of the limited capacity. It has to be hoarded in South Korea.
Meng Yi also knows very well. Most of these raw materials come from Chu and Qi. Among them, Chu is the largest. Korean warehouses are filled with a large amount of silk, hemp, sugar cane and other things. These things are important raw materials for the production of products in the Qin State. But there is one thing these have in common. That is, they are mainly light industrial products.
These products brought a large amount of theory and taxes to the Qin state. There are many factories with such status in the Qin State. However, the number of new plants began to decrease. According to the analysis. It is very likely that the profits of this industry will be reduced again. The main reason is that the cost of employment is increasing, and the repeated transportation of raw materials and products is also increasing the cost. The number of products is increasing rapidly. But profits are not increasing but decreasing. There is a reason for this. Although Meng Yi has a vague understanding. But it's not comprehensive.
South Korea's request was to import a large amount of machinery manufacturing equipment from Qin. That is, a large number of light industry production machine tools. Textile machines, large sewing machines, etc. Includes a number of columns of logistical equipment. All are needed. And that's not all. Then there is the number of skilled workers. She needs these workers to operate these machines.
South Korea has the advantage of manpower and proximity to the market raw material production area. More goods can be made.
This is a typical capital export. Qin's light industry had accumulated a certain capital base. Moreover, with the improvement of the relevant judiciary in the Qin State, human capital has risen. The knowledge level of the Qin people has been greatly improved as a whole. Zhao's manpower was largely aided by the terms of economic cooperation between Qin and Zhao.
Moreover, the state of Qin itself is no longer suitable for the production of these light industrial products. Meng Yi was not aware of this.
In the world of light industry. Some businessmen began to abandon the production of large quantities of cheap light industrial goods. Instead, start focusing on branding. And seize the advantages of the local market. Here, the demand and purchasing power of the Qin State have been drawn up a notch.
The state of Qin has a very high level of domestic development. The level of consumption of people is also very high. In the past, the large-scale cheap production of Shangwen products began to be unsightly. Instead, I started buying some high-end and high-end products. The quality of these products is greatly guaranteed. And there is a brand effect. Ying'er's store and fashion factory are such a large-scale enterprise that has transformed.
She pays attention to brand effect and good after-sales service. Take a pair of leather boots, for example. Ordinary leather boots have wooden soles. Hard and uncomfortable. But she's bold enough to use cow tendon soles. Good flexibility makes the shoes more comfortable. This is a huge advantage. The same is the Qin market. Qin Renhee is willing to choose such a shoe. Because their working environment has changed. shoes for them. It's about comfort. And not cheaply.
Opposite. Such a shoe is in the Chu market. That's pretty bad. The price is ridiculously high. Only those nobles will buy it.
It's not just quality. There are also a large number of clothing styles. There are many styles for the Qin market. In addition, there are also exhibitions that resemble fashion shows. Every season is a new style of clothing. Whether it's a hat on your head or a sock on your feet. All have new models on display. Like what. Ying'er made a seductive lace suspender stocking. Although the women of the Qin State were still conservative in their attire. But that doesn't stop them from buying. Because she always wears it at night for men to see. The socks are made of silk. It's a lot of money. But sales are in short supply every month. Because, the upper class also began to accept this kind of "stockings", especially those worn by the dancing girls. The allure makes those upper class eyes fall out.
Especially the lace design. Let the clothing industry of the Qin State enter the lace era. The standard for purchasing in the palace is "Is there lace?" "Yes. They're going to buy in large quantities. If you don't, you won't come back. The word lace was changed by Shang Wen after reading it. It used to be called "pattern silk", but after changing the name. All at once it became the new fashion.
Even the kings of the nations became obsessed with lace. The need of the king of Chu is the greatest. and also specially asked Ying'er to design a kind of clothes that exposed her thighs.
Regardless of the needs of each country? In short, Qin's light industrial products began to move towards brand, high-end, and marching. They occupy a dominant position in the market. Although their production is not very large. But the output value is the highest. A pair of lace "stockings" is equivalent to the price of more than two hundred pairs of boots. Moreover, they can't replicate the product.
These reasons were enough to prompt the Qin State to move those backward factories out. Invest in the construction of factories. Earning more money is the way out for the Qin State.
Meng Yi was anxious to see it. The meeting was quickly closed. Meng Yi didn't know what to do. Exporting equipment means exporting technology. In the Qin state, technical control was quite strict. Han Shu's request, Meng Yi could not agree.
This situation was quickly reflected to the King of Qin. And King Qin didn't answer, but just asked about Shang Wen's situation. I learned that Shang Wen was immersed in research. And he spoke no more. King Qin didn't know what to do either.
