Chapter 700: free trade zone

Views:

"This is a naked betrayal!" Heinze slammed the "Lampalli Weekly" on the table and shouted angrily.

Xu Yi squinted at the huge headline on the first page of "Lampali Weekly" and laughed.

"Why do you say that?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Heinze looked at Xu Yi in disbelief. "We, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, support the Lampali Kingdom so much, but now the Lampali Kingdom is trying to cooperate with our enemy, the Sak Kingdom. Isn't this a betrayal? And this time they didn't just betray our New Flying Chamber of Commerce. , and betrayed thousands of people of the Lampali Kingdom! The Sak Kingdom is the mortal enemy of the Lampali Kingdom, why do you want to cooperate with them at this time? "

Xu Yi smiled and shook his head slightly: "No, Heinze, your idea is too narrow-minded. There are no eternal enemies between countries, and it is not strange to cooperate occasionally. Besides, you have not seen this clearly. What's the news? The Lampali Kingdom has just opened a free trade zone with the Sak Kingdom, but it is far from real cooperation. And from what I know about the specific terms of the negotiations between the two parties, in fact, Lampali Kingdom has just opened a free trade zone with the Sak Kingdom. The Pali Kingdom has taken advantage of it."

"Conditions?" Heinze looked at Xu Yi suspiciously, thought for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "Hey, Xu Yi, do you know very well about this matter?"

"Of course." Xu Yi smiled and nodded. "Because I originally proposed this matter to Sevigny, and even the concept of the free trade area was proposed to her. Do you think I am clear?"

Heinze stared at Xu Yi dumbfounded for a while. Then he said blankly: "You mean... cooperation with the Sark Kingdom is what you want at all?"

"It's not wrong if you say that. It's just that Sevini feels that the Lampali Kingdom can indeed gain a lot of benefits from it, so she agrees with my idea. Speaking of which, she can handle this matter in such a short period of time. Cheng, he is really capable.”

Heinze frowned and stared at Xu Yi for a while, then slowly shook his head.

"Xu Yi, although you often do things that I can't understand, but this time... this is really unreasonable? Let's not talk about the hatred between the Sak Kingdom and the Lampali Kingdom, just talk about the Sak Kingdom The last time we teamed up with Grand Duke Weilun to attack our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, we shouldn’t have discussed any cooperation with the Sark Kingdom.”

"I repeat. This is not a simple cooperation. If you really want to say it, this free trade zone is actually a place for our New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Lampali Kingdom to plunder the wealth of the Sak Kingdom. Do you understand? ?" Xu Yi said.

Heinze shook his head: "I don't understand. This free trade zone is just a place where both parties openly do business. The Sark Kingdom is not a fool, so why should we let us plunder their wealth casually."

"Well... the situation is stronger than the person. This is not a problem that can be solved by being clever or not." Xu Yi shrugged and said with a relaxed expression. "Heinze. Think about it. In this free trade zone between the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Lampali, what is the easiest business for both parties to do? Or let me put it more bluntly, what do you think of the Kingdom of Sark? What product from the Kingdom of Lampali is most desired, and what does the Kingdom of Lampali need from the Kingdom of Sak?”

Heinze frowned and thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I understand! The Sak Kingdom must have a special need for magic machines. In the past, because the Lampali Kingdom and the Sak Kingdom were enemies and blocked each other, the Sak Kingdom could only buy some magic machines through smuggling. Now it's open In the Free Trade Zone, those in the Sark Kingdom who want to buy magic machines will definitely not be able to wait.”

"So. This free trade zone is actually used to dump magic machinery to the Sark Kingdom. I'm sure that the people in the Sark Kingdom are no different from the people in countries such as the Lampali Kingdom and the Lursun Kingdom. I have long been eager for all kinds of magic machines. Now that the two sides have finally opened up trade, there will definitely be a huge demand in the Sark Kingdom." Xu Yi said with a smile.

"Well, just like when Bangta City and several surrounding cities were eager for the magic machines produced by our Chamber of Commerce." Heinze nodded, and then asked: "But those people in the Sark Kingdom are not stupid, they must There will be restrictions on this.”

"This is the significance of opening this free trade zone." Xu Yi chuckled. "According to the agreement signed by the Kingdom of Lampali and the Kingdom of Sak, within this free trade zone, any trade between the two countries is completely free, and neither party can impose any restrictions on it. So even if the Kingdom of Sak continues No matter how much we want to limit the influx of magic machines, there is no way."

"This is very strange. Why did the Sack Kingdom agree to this condition?" Heinze asked in confusion.

"The reason is very simple. First, the Lampali Kingdom's northern army and the Sak Kingdom's army fought many times, and they all won. The Sak Kingdom is facing great pressure. Now the Lampali Kingdom is suddenly willing to come and fight The Sak Kingdom has ceased war and both sides are doing business fairly, which the Sak Kingdom certainly wants."

"Hmm... that's true."

"Second, in fact, the Sark Kingdom has long been eager for various magical machines. Due to the blockade of the Lampali Kingdom and the deliberate targeting of our Chamber of Commerce, the Sark Kingdom has not been able to obtain relevant technologies in this area. Now that they can trade freely with the Lampali Kingdom, if they purchase a large number of magic machines from the Lampali Kingdom, they might be able to successfully figure out their own magic machines from them, or even... they can even buy them directly from Lampali. It’s possible that the relevant technology can be purchased within the Kingdom.”

"This is impossible. The Lampali Kingdom will definitely impose technical restrictions." Heinze shook his head. "Otherwise, if we teach the Sark Kingdom to make its own magic machinery, wouldn't it be a disaster?"

Xu Yi shook his head slightly, thinking that although it was correct to say so on the surface, Sevini was indeed well prepared for this and had made relevant restrictions.

However, under the temptation of profit, some magic machinery-related technologies in the Lampali Kingdom will definitely flow into the Sark Kingdom along with various magic machines.

It was impossible to completely restrict this, so Xu Yi simply proposed to Sevini. Sell a small amount of magic machinery production technology directly to the Sark Kingdom.

Of course, these magic machine production technologies are limited to household magic machines and do not involve magic machine tools at all. It is even more impossible to touch the military magic machinery.

Although it is still possible for the Sark Kingdom to master some technical information related to magic machinery, and it is even possible to conduct its own research and development on this basis, Xu Yi is not worried about this.

After all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has an absolute leading edge in the technology related to magic machinery, and its advantage is much stronger than that of other chambers of commerce. As long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce controls the technical data, it is impossible for the Sark Kingdom to get involved.

And if it hadn't given the Sak Kingdom this little sweetness and hope. They would not agree so easily to establish this free trade zone with the Lampali Kingdom.

As for the Lampali Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, in addition to gaining huge profits by selling a large number of magic machines to the Sark Kingdom, according to the agreement signed by both parties. The Sark Kingdom must also open the export of mineral resources to the Lampali Kingdom.

Even in the agreement signed between the Lampali Kingdom and the Sac Kingdom, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also obtained the mining rights for two mines near the Muerto Mountains in the Sac Kingdom.

This is what Xu Yi values most.

It is impossible to completely defeat and control the Sark Kingdom in a short time, so before that. In this way, mineral resources urgently needed by various new flying chambers of commerce in the Sark Kingdom can be obtained. It's a very feasible method.

However, Xu Yi does not need to explain these considerations in detail to Heinze.

Since last year, Heinze has gradually become separated 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 Xinfei 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 ran all the way from Bangta City and showed his anger in front of Xu Yi. In addition to showing that he still has deep feelings for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is also because of another thing.

After chatting with Xu Yi for a few more words about the free trade zone. Heinze suddenly fell silent and glanced at Xu Yi, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "What? We are old friends. Do you have anything to say in front of me? This chamber of commerce can be regarded as the two of us working together to run it little by little, so as long as it is related to the chamber of commerce, you You can say it without any scruples.”

A look of embarrassment flashed across Heinze's face.

"You knew already?"

Xu Yi shrugged: "We have known each other for so long, and I still don't understand you? If it weren't for Alex's incident, would you be so coy in front of me, as if you were embarrassed?"

Heinze smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm really embarrassed. Alex did such bastard things before, and you are still willing to let him continue to do it in the Chamber of Commerce. I feel very sorry. Now... now... "

"Okay, old man, you don't need to say anything, I understand everything." Xu Yi smiled and patted Heinze on the shoulder, turned around and pulled out a document from the desk and handed it to Heinze. "Here, I've already arranged everything. I think Alex will be satisfied."

Heinze took the document in surprise and found that it was an employment document.

Looking through it, the content is that Alex has been appointed as the captain of the second fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet, mainly responsible for the cargo transportation business between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Luersun Kingdom.

This is a position with good salary and good harvest. Xu Yi arranged this position for Alex. It can be said that Alex has been treated extremely favorably.

Heinze closed the document and looked at Xu Yi excitedly. He was about to speak, but Xu Yi raised his hand to stop him.

"Okay, there is no need to say these polite words between us. Tell Alex and let him work hard. As long as he performs well, I can consider letting him go to the branch in Kulaka City to take charge of some affairs in the future. As for what happens next? , it depends on his specific performance.”

Heinze nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Okay! I will definitely teach this boy a lesson. If he dares to make any mistakes again, I will break his legs with my own hands!"

Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that the wrong things Alex had done in the past were enough to send him to prison for the rest of his life.

If it weren't for Heinze's face, how could he have spent the past few years peacefully and still have hope of making a comeback? (To be continued...)
