According to this list of trade treatments, in fact, other countries are divided into different grades. And the classification of these countries is determined according to their relationship, and even different countries have different trade quotas and even different conditions. As for the first-class countries, that is, the countries that have very close relations with each other, the countries with which the two sides have very good relations, and have very good relations with China. There are basically no quotas in these countries, and almost any businessman who is willing to do business can do it. Of course, tariffs will also be adjusted as appropriate, and tariffs will not be completely liberalized as a result.

Because Wang Guorui is very aware of the methods of those businessmen, Wang Guorui knows that once the gap in tariffs is opened, the consequences will be unimaginable. Wang Guorui's tariff is absolutely immovable, and this tariff can be adjusted at any time according to the trade scale and production capacity of the other country, and this first-class country has few conditions attached, so this allows them to enter the Chinese market to do trade, and there is no quota. Other countries also have quotas, so this is an advantage.

The first class is the best country, while the second class is the country that belongs to the allies. The third level is potential allies, and the fourth level is ordinary countries, which have no grudges or grudges, but they are not very related. As for the fifth class, that is, the hostile countries. Of course, if a country goes to war, for example, a country like the United States, which is not even a fifth-class country, directly refuses to trade with each other.

"Mr. Zhu Erdian, what is the relationship between your British Empire and us, everyone knows in their hearts. However, the productivity of this British Empire is too great, and if you completely let your merchants in, I am afraid that our domestic enterprises will all go out of business. At that time, where do we go to drink porridge? Wang Guorui replied.

Zhu Erdian continued to attack: "You are a trade protectionist! ”

"Black, I'm also a trade protectionist, how can you bear with me? There's a kind of you bite me! Wang Guorui scolded.

Zhu Erdian scolded in his heart; "This guy is completely a hooligan gangster, where is there a style of the head of a country? Why did we Britain go to war against the Manchus back then, wasn't it because we wanted China to open the country? In this era of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in China, when the country was closed to the outside world, didn't we just value China, a market of 400 million people, so we did not hesitate to start a war? At the time of our 'trade war', it was a pity that we were not able to open the door of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Now we have to do this, but the Manchus have fallen, but we have met a more cunning guy than the Manchus. ”

Zhu Erdian is deeply aware of why Britain launched the so-called "crow. Piece War", the first crow. The War was known in Britain as the "War of Commerce". Crow. The Piece War was not for the British to be called Crows. They actually started this war to open the door to China, and then used it as an opportunity to start trade in an all-round way. Although the Chinese named Crow. Piece of war, one thinks it was to protect the crows. The interests of the film businessmen are at war. But this is not the case, and the British need more than just crows. film, but used this Humen cigarette sales as an excuse, and then took the opportunity to go to war to force China to open its door.

After China opens its doors, a large number of British goods can enter the Chinese market, and an economy of 400 million people is enough for them to eat a lot of money. 400 million people is almost the number of the entire population of Europe combined, and even a tenth or even a thousandth of any industry can make a company nourish for decades. With China as a market, it is possible to solve the employment problem of almost the entire population in the UK, and it is almost impossible to have unemployment. Maybe even the British family can't eat, after all, there are too many people of 400 million people to eat in Britain back then! Moreover, the capitalists are working hard for this big cake, and as colonizers, foreign wars are either for resources or for the market.

As for the war with China, the earliest purpose was for the market, and later it was for the resources. The British were very keen to open up the Chinese national market, and even used Humen to sell cigarettes as an excuse to start a war. At that time, they really hoped that the Chinese market would be opened, and the territorial claims were not large. But now they have met a person they love and hate, they like Wang Guorui is not as corrupt as the Manchu Qing in the past, but opens the country to a limited extent. But what they have a headache is that Wang Guorui is strong and smart. Wang Guorui is not only powerful, he is not afraid of them going to war, and he is not afraid of their blackmail and intimidation. But on the other hand, Wang Guorui is also very shrewd, knowing that China's most important means at present is the market, and China's huge market is something anyone wants to take a bite of.

Although China is willing to open its doors, it is doing so in a targeted manner. Wang Guorui is different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, completely closed off the country, and is almost unwilling to open the country, even if it is opened, it is against the yang and the yin. And Wang Guorui is willing to open the country, but it is really targeted. Using this huge Chinese market as a condition, there is a plan to target European countries, so it can be said that holding a carrot hanging on the head of European countries, although it is very sweet, but it seems that you can't eat it even if you want to.

"Free trade, you should know I don't believe in this? Don't use any excuse of free trade to prevaricate me. The establishment of trade barriers, and then the targeted increase of tariffs, and even the implementation of quotas, licenses, etc., are all things that I have learned from you in the West. Hmph, everyone plays like this, no one should say the eldest brother or the second brother! Wang Guorui said.

This kind of trade protectionism is actually all learned by Wang Guorui Americans. When the economic crisis comes, Americans must first "close off the country" and practice trade protectionism, so as to protect their domestic enterprises to the greatest extent possible by avoiding the import of various products from foreign countries.

On the other hand, China also suffered this harm from the financial crisis, the Yankees began to protect trade, and China's enterprises that relied on exports for a living were unlucky, and then closed down a lot! However, it was the financial crisis that forced China to gradually increase domestic demand in later generations, forcing many companies to give up their dependence on exports and develop their own patented technologies.

However, when there is an economic crisis, isn't the first thought to be trade protection? Anyway, in the time of the financial crisis, the dead friends do not die the poor, this kind of thinking is everywhere. Therefore, Wang Guorui is considered to have done his best to be benevolent and righteous, and he is willing to open the country so that they can do business well, but Wang Guorui has kidnapped business and politics, so that anyone who does not agree to Wang Guorui in terms of political conditions will not want to do business.

"However, you can't treat our British Empire like this, you look down on our British Empire!" Zhu Erdian scolded again.

"Then you don't have to come to do business, anyway, many countries in Europe are willing to do it, it's better if you don't come, maybe other countries are willing to come!" What you said seems to be that we forced you to buy and sell! Since you can't do business with us, you can sell it to others! Wang Guorui said.

"You-"

Wang Guorui is not in a hurry, he knows very well that European countries are now generally overproductive and unable to digest so many products. How did the First World War start, it was said to be a struggle for colonies, but what was the use of colonies? Colonies are nothing more than resources and markets, and at present, countries are not short of resources, but colonies everywhere are basically able to meet resources. The market was a big problem, the Germans developed industry, but they found that the resources and markets in the colonies were also gone, so they had to compete with the old empires for colonies.

Therefore, in the case of excess productivity in various countries, it is naturally impossible to let go of China, an economy with a population of 400 million. But Wang Guorui knows very well that he has a good card in his hand, and this kind of good card is very important. This huge population advantage is also very important, and Wang Guorui can use these things as a means of coercion.

Although China is currently lacking in various technologies and talents, it has a very important means, because good cards have good ways to play, and bad cards also have bad cards to play. There are no absolutely good cards and bad cards in this world, the key is to be able to find the good cards in the bad cards, and play the bad cards well. If you don't have the right hand, you won't be able to win even if you have the best hand.

Moreover, the gap between China and the British has not reached the point where it cannot be bridged by technical means. Wang Guorui's military strength is enough to ensure national security, which is also the result of why the British were forced to consult with Wang Guorui. Otherwise, if Wang Guorui's strength is not good, then the British will not talk nonsense, and will come over directly to start a war. These are the ways of those English pirates, and if they can do it cheaper, they will not hesitate to do it. But if the risk and cost of robbery are too high, they will also do business in peace when the gains outweigh the losses, put away those bloody knives and forks, and stab them in the back directly.

"Then why is China listed as a first-class country for the Netherlands? The most important preferential treatment can be obtained, is our British Empire inferior to the Netherlands? Zhu Erdian asked.

Wang Guorui spread his hands and said, "You know! ”

Nonsense, Wang Guorui can sleep in the same bed with the Queen of the Netherlands, and go to meet with the Queen of the Netherlands Wilhelmina for almost ten days and half a month and play a dozen friendly matches. Moreover, after all, the Netherlands has declined, and their productivity is not high, so it is unlikely to have a huge impact on Wang Guorui's domestic market. If it is a large European country, it is different, they are all too productive to collapse the Chinese market. (To be continued.) )
