Chapter 39 Free Trade Zones
"This is a naked betrayal!" Heinze shouted angrily as he slapped the Lampari Weekly Newspaper in his hand on the table.
Xu Yi squinted at the huge headline on the first page of the Lampari Weekly and laughed.
"Why do you say that?"
"Do you still need to ask?" Heince looked at Xu Yi incredulously. "Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce supports the Lampari Kingdom so much, but now the Lampari Kingdom is running to cooperate with our enemy, the Sark Kingdom, isn't this a betrayal? And this time they not only betrayed our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also betrayed thousands of people of the Lampari Kingdom! The Sark Kingdom is the sworn enemy of the Lampari Kingdom, why should they cooperate with them at such a time?"
Xu Yi smiled and shook his head gently: "No, Heinze, your thinking is too narrow. There are no permanent enemies between nations, and it is not surprising that there is occasional cooperation. Besides, you didn't even know what this news was about, did you? The Lampari Kingdom is just opening up a free trade zone with the Sark Kingdom, but it is far from real cooperation. And judging from the specific conditions of the negotiations between the two sides, I know that the Lampari Kingdom has actually taken a big advantage. ”
"Conditions?" Heinze looked at Xu Yi suspiciously, thought about it, and couldn't help asking, "Hey, Xu Yi, do you know this matter very well?"
"Of course. Xu Yi chuckled and nodded. "Because I originally proposed this matter to Sevigny, and even the concept of this free trade zone was proposed to her. You think I don't know?"
Heinze looked at Xu Yi dumbfounded, after a while. Cai was stunned and said, "You mean...... Cooperation with the Kingdom of Sark, that's what you mean?"
"You wouldn't be wrong to say that. It's just that Sevini felt that the kingdom of Lampari could indeed gain a lot from it, so he agreed with me. Speaking of which. She was able to accomplish this in such a short period of time, which is really remarkable. ”
Heinze frowned and stared at Xu Yi for a while, then shook his head slowly.
"Xu Yi, although you often do things that I can't understand, but this time...... Not to mention the hatred between the Sark Kingdom and the Lampari Kingdom, just talking about the last time the Sark Kingdom joined forces with the Grand Duke of Weilun to attack our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, we shouldn't talk about any cooperation with the Sark Kingdom. ”
"I repeat it again. It's not a simple collaboration. If you really want to say it, in fact, this free trade zone is completely used to give us the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom a place to plunder the wealth of the Sark Kingdom. Do you understand?" Xu Yi said.
Heinze shook his head: "I don't understand. This free trade zone is nothing more than a place where both sides do business openly. The kingdom of Sark is not a fool, so why should we take their wealth at will? ”
"Well...... The shape is stronger than people, and this is not a problem that can be solved by being smart or not. Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed expression. "Heinze. Think about it. In this free trade zone between the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Lampari, what is the easiest business for both sides? Or to put it more bluntly, what do you think the Kingdom of Sark desires the most from the Kingdom of Lampari, and what does the Kingdom of Lampari need from the Kingdom of Sark?"
Heinze frowned and thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up.
"I see! The Kingdom of Sark must have a special need for magical machinery. In the past, because the Lampari Kingdom and the Sark Kingdom were enemies and blockaded each other, the Sark Kingdom could only buy some magic machinery through guò smuggling. Now that the free trade zone has been opened, those in the Kingdom of Sark who want to buy magic machines will definitely not be able to wait. ”
"So. This free trade zone was actually used to dump magical machinery into the kingdom of Sark. I'm sure there is no difference between the people of the Kingdom of Sark and the people of the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Urson. I've been desperate for all kinds of magical machines for a long time. Now that the two sides are finally open to trading, there will definitely be a great demand in the Kingdom of Sark. Xu Yi said with a smile.
"Well, it's the same as when Bonta City and the surrounding cities were hungry for the magic machines that our Chamber of Commerce produced. Heinze nodded, and then asked, "But those people in the Kingdom of Sark are not stupid, so they will definitely restrict this." ”
"That's what this free trade zone is all about. Xu Yi smiled. "According to the agreement signed by the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Sark, in this free trade zone, any trade between the two countries is completely free and neither side can impose any restrictions on it. Therefore, no matter how much the Sark Kingdom wanted to restrict the influx of a large number of magical machines, there was nothing they could do. ”
"It's strange, why did the Kingdom of Sark agree to this condition?" asked Heinze, puzzled.
"The reason is simple. First, the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom and the army of the Kingdom of Sark fought many times, and all of them were won, but the Kingdom of Sark was facing great pressure. Now that the Lampari Kingdom is suddenly willing to come to a truce with the Sark Kingdom, and the two sides do business fairly, of course, the Sark Kingdom can't ask for it. ”
"Hmm...... That's just as well. ”
"Second, in fact, the Sark Kingdom has long been very hungry for all kinds of magic machines. Previously, due to the blockade of the Lampari Kingdom and the deliberate targeting of our Chamber of Commerce, the Kingdom of Sark has not been able to obtain the relevant technology in this regard. Now that they can trade freely with the Lampari Kingdom, if they purchase a large number of magical machines from the Lampari Kingdom, they may be able to successfully develop their own magical machines from them. Even...... They may also be able to buy the technology directly from the Lampari Kingdom. ”
"This is impossible, the Lampari Kingdom will definitely impose technical restrictions. Heinze shook his head. "Otherwise, if you teach the Sark Kingdom to make its own magic machinery, wouldn't it be a problem to raise tigers?"
Xu Yi shook his head slightly, thinking that although this was true on the surface, Sevini was indeed prepared for this and made relevant restrictions.
However, under the temptation of profits, there will definitely be some magic machinery-related technologies in the Lampari Kingdom that will flow into the Sark Kingdom along with all kinds of magic machines.
This point is simply impossible to completely restrict, so Xu Yi simply mentioned yì to Seveni. Sell a small portion of the production technology of magic machinery directly to the Kingdom of Sark.
Of course, the production technology of this part of the magic machine is limited to the household magic machine, and it does not involve the magic machine tool at all. It is even more impossible to touch the mechanical aspects of military magic.
Although it is still possible for the Kingdom of Sark to master the relevant technical information of some magic machinery, and even to develop it on its own, Xu is not worried about this.
In the final analysis, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce occupies an absolute leading edge in the related technology of magic machinery, and the advantage is much stronger than other chambers of commerce, as long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce controls the technical information, it is impossible for the Sark Kingdom to get involved.
And if it weren't for this sweetness and hope given to the Kingdom of Sark. They would not have agreed so lightly to establish this free trade zone with the Lampari Kingdom.
As for the Lampari Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, in addition to being able to sell a large number of magic machinery to the Kingdom of Sark through Guò to obtain huge profits, according to the agreement signed by the two parties. The Kingdom of Sark must also open the export of mineral resources to the Lampari Kingdom.
Even in the agreement signed between the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Sark, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce also acquired the rights to mine two mines in the Kingdom of Sark near the Murto Mountains.
This is what Xu Yi values the most.
It is impossible to completely defeat the kingdom of Sak in a short period of time, so before that. In this way, the various new flying chambers within the Kingdom of Sark obtained the much-needed mineral resources. It's a very feasible approach.
However, Xu Yi does not need to explain these considerations to Heinze in detail.
Since last year, Heinze has gradually detached himself from the specific affairs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce because of his age and his own personality.
Although he still holds the position of vice president of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, he is actually no longer involved in any management and planning, and is basically in a semi-retired state.
This time, he suddenly came all the way from Bangta City and expressed his anger in front of Xu Yi. In addition to showing that he still has deep feelings for Xinfei Chamber, it is actually because of another thing.
After chatting a few more words with Xu Yi on the issue of the free trade zone. Heinze suddenly fell silent, glanced at Xu Yi, and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "What? We are old buddies, do you have anything else to say in front of me? This chamber of commerce can be regarded as the two of us working together little by little, so as long as it is related to the chamber of commerce, you can have no scruples and say it." ”
A look of embarrassment crossed Heinze's face.
"You got it?"
Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders: "We've known each other for so long, don't I know you yet?" If it weren't for Alex's matter, you would be so squirming in front of me, as if you were embarrassed?"
Heinze smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm really embarrassed." Alex used to do that kind of bastard thing, and you are willing to let him continue to work in the Chamber of Commerce, I can't help it. Right now...... Now ......"
"Alright, old man, you don't have to say it, I understand. Xu Yi smiled and patted Heinze's shoulder, turned around and took out a copy of Wen Jiàn from the desk and handed it to Heinze. "Here, I've already arranged everything. I think Alex would be satisfied. ”
Heince was stunned and took the text and found that it was a job post.
At first glance, the content is to appoint Alex as the leader of the second convoy of the transport team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, mainly responsible for the transportation of goods between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Ruersun.
This is a position with good pay and a bumper harvest of oil and water, and Xu also arranged this position for Alex, which can be said to have been extremely preferential to Alex.
Heince closed the above jiàn, looked at Xu Yi excitedly, and was about to speak, but Xu Yi raised his hand to stop him.
"Alright, we don't have to say these kind words between us. Sue Alex and let him do a good job. As long as he is good, I can consider letting him go to the branch of Kuraka City to take charge of some affairs in the future, and as for what happens after that, it depends on his specific performance. ”
Heinze nodded again and again: "Okay! I will definitely teach this kid a good lesson, if he dares to do anything wrong, I will definitely break his leg with my own hands!"
Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that in fact, with the wrong things Alex had done before, it was enough to send him to prison for the rest of his life.
If it weren't for Heinze's face, how could he have survived the past few years peacefully, and now there is still hope for a comeback......?
