Chapter 549: Boycott
In the face of Brown's actions, it is absolutely impossible for Australia not to respond, and in response to the actions of the Dutch, Australia is also launching a plan.
Since the Song Dynasty, the Chinese immigrants in Southeast Asia have gradually increased in scale, and these people generally start with small businesses when they come to these unfamiliar places, and then grow bigger little by little, and with the arrival of Australians, the number of merchants in the two regions has accelerated.
At present, almost all the shops dealing in all kinds of daily necessities in Southeast Asia are opened by Chinese, take Batavia as an example, at least nine out of ten shops in the whole city are opened by Chinese.
These shops don't usually seem to have anything, but as long as you take a look, you will find that in fact, the lives of the real citizens are completely inseparable from the Chinese.
If a city loses the presence of Chinese businessmen, the city will definitely fall into chaos, and the Chinese are natural businessmen, who can endure hardships and stand hard work, and can be active in various positions.
So the action in Australia was to launch a protest action, using the influence of the Nanyang Trading Company to call on the members of the entire trading company to protest against the Dutch.
Although the Netherlands is known as the coachman of the sea, they also do a transportation job, they have not established a strong retail sales network, the sales of goods are still mainly in the hands of some other countries, and Southeast Asia is dominated by Chinese.
In order to fight back against the Dutch, the Minister of Foreign Trade, Zhao Shijie, secretly arrived in the Malay Peninsula and met with the representatives of the Nanyang Trading Company.
Now Brown is not at all low in the level of surveillance of the Chinese, it can be said that they can see it whenever there is a wind and grass, and most importantly, he has begun to implement the plan in a targeted manner.
The policy of dealing with the Chinese is not to fight to the end, but to treat them differently, and this kind of divisive policy is an old trick used by the Dutch from the beginning.
Of course, at this time, such a method will no longer work, because the strength of the Australians has made these people no longer attached to them, compared to Australians who have the same blood relationship. Naturally, people get a lot closer, and the Australians are very nice to them, and since the arrival of the Australians, they can clearly feel the rise in status.
This kind of status rise was not seen before, they could not enjoy this kind of treatment before, and now the Dutch have to take care of the Australians in everything they do, they are old Australian blood compatriots, if you dare to mess around, the Australian warships will come to your door, it is so arrogant and rude.
The Australian elder is not ambiguous at all in his treatment of blood compatriots. At the beginning, a Dutch beat the Chinese, and the Australian old man should have forced them to hand over the murderer and carry out the whipping.
How can such a defense of the compatriots make others not die to them, so it is of no use for the Dutch to do so.
If it had been useful before, it seems to be useless now.
Of course, the Dutch will not give up.
More than 30 people have gathered in the Governor's Palace in Malacca, all of whom are members of the Nanyang Trading Company, and whether Australia can carry out a boycott movement this time will depend on whether everyone can help them.
"Ladies and gentlemen. A few days ago, the Dutch would like to know something about the policy of my descendants of Yan and Huang. ”
As soon as Zhao Shijie opened his mouth, he went directly to the topic and said the problem, and these people don't need to talk about so many plans, just talk about things directly, in fact, everyone is not the person who is in the ink.
They heard Zhao Shijie's words. Of course, I know the policy of the Dutch, what they have done, the tax on the Chinese has increased, and some policies have been implemented against the Chinese. It is a decree prohibiting the purchase of land in this area.
This discriminatory policy is very unpleasant, but there is no way, and now the Australian representative is here. There must be some countermeasure.
"What Minister Zhao said is that the Dutch are becoming more and more unfavorable to our policy, and if this continues, there will be a conflict sooner or later."
Conflict is inevitable, and if this policy continues, there will certainly be opinions.
And there will be very big opinions, of course Zhao Shijie knows this, and he can clearly know what everyone will do, and he will definitely use force to solve it, such things have happened in history.
"Of course, we have to give the Dutch a little color, so that they know that we are not easy to bully, and that Nanyang Trading Company was established for this purpose, and you can say what you think."
Let them say what they think, these people are nothing more than proposing some kind of armed resistance, they have long planned to do so, and some people have already begun to take action, of course, this must be discussed with the Australians before, if I can get the Australians to help them, I will have a better chance of winning.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhao Shijie continued to speak.
"All of you here can be said to control the consumption of daily necessities in your respective places, and if we unite to resist the Dutch, it will only take a few days to plunge each other into an urban upheaval."
In fact, there is a risk in resisting, and the risk is whether there will be an impact in the turmoil, and the economic loss is inevitable, and this loss may be very large.
Of course, if they don't do what the Australians propose, they may also suffer losses, and the biggest loss is not being able to get asylum, which is a kind of asylum.
If they lose their asylum, their lives will be difficult, and the oppression from the Dutch and the local power will make it difficult for them to move forward.
Therefore, everyone is seriously thinking about Zhao Shijie's question, and there must be a decision between the pros and cons.
In fact, Australia can say a lot of price for this operation, in order to teach the Dutch a lesson, the Ministry of Finance allocated Zhao Shijie for this event.
Everyone is not talking, in fact, they are thinking about what to do and how to reduce the cost.
I know that the boycott will have a certain loss, but we will not carry out it for too long, only a week, in this week's time, our Australian country will give a certain subsidy for your losses, and at the same time there will be a certain amount of concessions in the freight forwarding.
For these people, subsidies are actually only secondary, concessions are the biggest attraction, if they can get a certain amount of concessions, then they can completely recover the losses if they want a large amount, and they can earn a lot.
Sure enough, after hearing about the concession, some people immediately stood up to express their support for this matter, and with the first one, there will be a second, and in the end, everyone expressed their response to this matter, and so the largest boycott of the Dutch in the history of Southeast Asia began.
