Chen Fu sent someone to investigate Zhang Xinyue without Qin Yu's consent, as the prime minister of Huaxia, he has the responsibility to protect Qin Yu's safety, and he can't relax at all, this time it also made him vigilant, Qin Yu doesn't seem to have canonized the queen and the imperial concubine, I don't know if the new person joining will destroy Qin Yu's development.

Soon a piece of information about Zhang Xinyue from Shandong and the United Kingdom and Pan Asia Petroleum came to Chen Fu's hands, when Chen Fu read it, he knew that Qin Yu had a small affair during his study in the UK, although so many years have passed, but from the information collected, Zhang Xinyue has a deep love for His Majesty, maybe he will be a big man in the future, this has to be a good relationship in advance.

And judging from the intelligence, Zhang Xinyue has no possibility and motive to threaten Qin Yu, and her last three generations have not done anything dangerous in China, and the Zhang family is also a traditional family of half business and half agriculture, and the vision of the previous generations is not very good in the near future, and now the two generations of the Zhang family have successfully transformed into industrial and commercial families by trading with Britain and Germany.

Qin Yu and Zhang Xinyue haven't seen each other much since this time, and when they meet, they only meet when the economic department wants to send a document to them, and they go to work after a hurried chat or two.

Zhang Xinyue was quickly promoted with Chen Fu's care and strength, and was directly promoted from the position of secretary to the vice minister of commerce in charge of real power. As for her promotion so quickly, it is reasonable, one is that many positions in the Huaxia Empire have just been established are new, and some can't even recruit suitable talents, Zhang Xinyue's education and experience can be qualified for this position, plus Chen Fu and the Minister of Economic Affairs are not impossible, and the Ministry of Commerce is used to unify the institutions responsible for domestic and foreign economic and trade affairs, and the power is not ordinarily large.

The first thing Zhang Xinyue did when he came to power was to deal with foreign trade issues in accordance with the information given by the prime minister, and all countries are now anxious to enter the Chinese market, although China's current consumption power is not strong, but it does not mean that there will be no in the future, and those large-scale projects make them salivate.

Britain, France and other countries originally wanted to blockade China for a while and not give China such a rapid rise, but when they saw that the allies and the United States were so enthusiastic, they were also tempted, and they could not let Germany and the United States benefit.

Zhang Xinyue was arranged by the Minister of Economy to meet with the representatives of the United States, originally the Minister of Economy wanted her to talk to the British, after all, she had been in the United Kingdom for a few years and knew something about the United Kingdom, but after Chen Fu knew about it, she changed to the United States, because the success of the United States here would be a huge credit, and Britain was still awkward and very difficult before.

At the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhang Xinyue met with the American ambassador Willy, who was in charge of the exchanges with China, and his task was to obtain the approval of China, to give the United States access to the Chinese market, and to undertake as many projects as possible.

"Mr. Wesley, you should also know how many countries want to enter the Empire's market now, and we really need your help, what can you help us with?" Zhang Xinyue said knowingly.

Methodist replied proudly: "We, the United States, are now the world's number one manufacturing power, as long as you have money, we can produce machines or weapons for you, both in quality and quantity, believe us." ”

"Do you know the situation of our empire, agriculture still accounts for a large part, industry and commerce are not very developed, it can be said that it has just begun to sprout, once you are let in, it will hit our national industry, so the empire attaches great importance to these, we hope that the merchants of your country can abide by the rules of the empire after entering the empire, otherwise it will hurt the friendship between the two countries."

"Minister Zhang, this is your mistake, if our businessmen enter, it will also promote the sense of competition of your country's businessmen, and businessmen can also cooperate with each other, our country has technology and talents, if you give us all the large-scale projects in your country, it will definitely satisfy you."

"The empire will not allow the merchants of your country to enter in a big way, at least the tariffs will not be very small, this is also to protect our industry and commerce, as for your country, we would like to be able to enter a little more industry, whether it is heavy industry or light industry, I don't know what preferential treatment your country can give to the empire?"

"Oh, Minister Zhang, should we find another time to talk about tariffs, your country's tariffs are too high, which will also hurt your country's businessmen, after all, your country's businessmen will also invest abroad, China's investment environment is the world's first, we also welcome your country's businessmen to invest in our country, such as farms or whatever.

In terms of industry, our country is the best, as long as you have enough money, as for the concessions, I don't know how the Congress will decide, but it should still be possible to reduce the tariffs on Chinese imports. As for the rest, it depends on your country's decision, and both Congress and the President attach great importance to the relationship between the two countries, and if they can, it will be not only economic cooperation, but also multifaceted or all-round cooperation. Wei Li shook his head and said in the affirmative.

In the view of Wesley, Huaxia's investment in the United States is simply a joke, and now Huaxia's industry and commerce are nothing at all, and as for those so-called powerful commercial firms, they can't do anything when they leave Huaxia, and even some of their medium-sized and large companies in the United States are more powerful than these commercial firms, let alone those big conglomerates.

It is estimated that it will take several decades for China to enter the United States, and they will not be able to fight the American industry at all, so the reduction of tariffs on China will not have a big impact, the main thing is to prevent China's tariffs from being too high. Originally, the United States wanted to buy small factories in China on a large scale after entering China, but now, according to Minister Zhang, Huaxia will not allow them to do this at all, and they can't imagine that the newly established Huaxia can think of protecting its own industry so quickly, and this Chinese government is not simple.

"Our empire wants to be able to buy the production lines of all kinds of machines in your country, and of course we will buy these production lines like buying a large number of machines, but we will have to send drawings. As for the multifaceted cooperation you mentioned, this requires the consent of the Prime Minister and His Majesty, and if your country can reduce its tariffs on the Empire, thank you for your preferences.

There is also a bottom line that our country wants your country to abolish the Chinese Exclusion Act introduced in 1882, which is a very unfair bill, which harms the interests and health of our people abroad, and I hope that your country can give the Chinese an equal identity and status, which is also the meaning of our Majesty, of course, it is okay not to abolish it, and as for cooperation, we must negotiate again. Zhang Xinyue said very sternly.

The Chinese Exclusion Act was a law signed by the United States on May 6, 1882, in response to the large number of Chinese who had moved to the western United States due to China's internal turmoil and the opportunity to get railroad construction work. It requires every Chinese resident to register and obtain a certificate of residence, and those who do not have a certificate will be expelled. It is very unfair to the Chinese to prohibit Chinese workers from going to the United States for an indefinite extension for ten years because they cannot have American citizenship.

It was not until 1943 that the Act was repealed, and in 2012 the U.S. government publicly apologized for the Chinese Exclusion Act.

When the Chinese Empire was founded, a large number of Chinese workers chose to return to China, while some stayed in the United States and continued to be discriminated against, believing that the current empire was as incompetent as the Qing government.

Wei Li was very excited when he heard that he was going to buy a production line of various machines, but the drawings and the Chinese Exclusion Act calmed him down, this is not a trivial matter, if you want the drawings, you can also discuss it, and the repeal of the bill will have to go through the decision of the Congress, and it will also take into account the reaction of the people.

"The exclusion bill has to go through a decision of Congress, it's not something I can decide, so I'm going to communicate it to the country, and we want to pause this issue and talk about other things. We want to take over all the railway projects in your country, the quality of China's rails is in the forefront of the world, and the output of steel is also in the forefront, we have the strength to undertake the railway projects, we can send the best technicians to guide the workers of your country, and train a large number of technicians for your country. Wei Li quickly changed the subject, otherwise he would fall into an awkward atmosphere.

Zhang Xinyue also knew that she couldn't be in a hurry, and she also discussed the matter of the railway, "There are too many railways to be built in my country, the project is huge, and there is a time limit, so we will not give all of them to any country." These railways may also be tendered, and many projects will be tendered, but the empire still has the final say, which can be regarded as telling you in advance, and your country must not live up to our kindness. ”

“……”

“……”

The two discussed the problem for a day, made a preliminary understanding of the business cooperation between the two countries, and both sides roughly knew each other's bottom line, and both went to report to their respective immediate bosses.

Wei Li directly sent Huaxia's request and his own analysis back to China, and he strongly urged Congress to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act, which was originally a black spot in the United States, and it was simply a shame that a strong country should use this means to deal with people in a weak and small country. What's more, the current affairs are the rise of the Chinese Empire, and I believe that it will not be long before these Chinese will return to China, and it is not suitable for trade between the two countries, and if you want to enter the Chinese market, you have to repeal this bill.

As for asking the United States to abolish the Chinese Exclusion Act, the purpose is to let the Chinese people all over the world know that the Chinese Empire has not given up on them, so that a large number of overseas Chinese will return to the motherland, and Huaxia needs these talents.

After the countries enter China, Qin Yu will speed up the reform of the currency system in China, and it is necessary to implement the gold standard, otherwise sooner or later these European and American countries will collapse the economy of China, and the economic war is sometimes more terrible than the real war, and it will regress for decades if you are not careful.
