1557 Ambitious

In the South China Sea Trade Alliance, the dominant country is naturally the Haihan country with the largest trade volume, and a considerable part of the trade content between countries and Haihan is through the ports under the control of Haihan to do entrepot trade, and the real trade object is actually the Ming Dynasty. Especially in Western countries such as the Netherlands and Portugal, most of the goods they can provide can be produced by the Haihan themselves, and they can only sell these goods to the Ming through the trade channels of the Haihan in order to obtain relatively rich profits. The various porcelain, textiles, tea and other commodities produced by the Ming Dynasty could only be purchased in these countries through the trade centers set up by the Haihan.

In the past, the control scope of Haihan in the coastal area of Daming was only concentrated in some areas of the southeast coast, and the control of maritime trade channels was not enough to control other countries, but now Haihan has basically completed the control of the Ming maritime frontier from south to north, especially in the richest Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions of the Ming Dynasty, almost all of the maritime trade is under the direct control of the Haihan, and the Ming official has also recognized the status quo by building transportation merchants. At this time, it is much easier for Haihan to set some conditions in exchange for the obedience of the members of the South China Sea Trade Alliance.

Haihan's comprehensive control over the Ming Dynasty's maritime import and export trade can be said to be a very powerful means of trade, because it affects not only the Ming Dynasty, but also many Southeast Asian and even Western countries. Schneider's new plan is to require the countries of the South China Sea Trade Alliance to unify trade standards as soon as possible, and most of the content of this standard comes from the recent trade agreement between the Ming Dynasty and Haihan.

To be precise, many of the industry standards and related regulations in this trade agreement were actually formulated by Haihan, which is one of the reasons why Shi Diwen met intensively with local industry leaders in Zhejiang some time ago. Schneider believes that these trade standards negotiated with Daming can also be used to change the status quo of the South China Sea Trade Alliance, after all, many orders from Southeast Asia are actually transferred by Haihan to Daming to complete. If the trade standards of the Daming, Haihan and South China Sea trade alliances can be unified, trade barriers can be effectively eliminated, and Haihan can guide these trading partners to accept the new rules of the game.

Schneider believes that the weight of Haihan and Daming should be enough to influence the decision-making of these countries, especially the Netherlands and Portugal, two Western countries, who basically have just needs for some high-end commodities produced by Daming, and cannot use force or other means to break Haihan's monopoly on Daming's maritime trade, so there is only one way left to accept Haihan's arrangement.

Schneider soon summoned the Portuguese envoy to Sanya, Thomas, and the Dutch envoy to Sanya, Sukeyi, to explain the current situation and Haihan's new vision of international trade in the Far East.

For these two countries, Haihan is really a country that they love, hate and fear. The process of trading with the Haihan was actually very pleasant, and the business reputation and settlement speed of the Haihan people were almost impeccable, far more comfortable than the other countries with which they dealt in the Far East. But at the same time, Haihan is also their strongest competitor in the Far East, all the commercial routes in the waters north of Indochina are under the control of Haihan, and trade with the Ming must also be carried out through Haihan, if possible, they prefer to use their best way to remove this stumbling block.

But they have tried this many times, but they have always failed, and each time they have failed, they will realize that the gap between the two sides in terms of military power is insurmountable. Later, when he saw with his own eyes how Haihan beat the invincible Spanish fleet to the point where he couldn't raise his head, his resentment slowly turned into happiness. Yes, not as an adversary, but as a trading partner, this is probably the greatest luck of a Western colonial power like them in the Far East.

As for Schneider's "trade standards", in fact, they are also very clear that this is a repeat of the same old tune, Haihan began to formulate international trade standards as early as two or three years ago, and since then it has revealed its great ambitions. But for countries like Portugal and the Netherlands, agreeing with Haihan's criteria effectively vetos the possibility of their own future control in the region.
