Chapter 1571 The capable come first

In the eyes of the time travellers, most people in this era are short-sighted, have narrow vision, and do not have the strength to compete with themselves. In Su Keyi's eyes, the Matalan people are also such characters, lacking in the ability to compete with themselves.

Their understanding of geopolitics is limited to the area near their own country, and they are completely unaware of Haihan's ambitions and methods at a higher level. How can it be so simple to reach a political deal with the Haihan people?

At this time, Haihan had not made any further requests to Luo Hong, because the incident happened so suddenly that even the Executive Committee had not made corresponding preparations. After sending Luo Hong away, the Executive Committee

Only then began to study how to propose exchange conditions other than arms trade to the Matalan country.

But Su Keyi did not know these situations. He determined that the wily Haihan Executive Committee would never let go of such a great opportunity and would inevitably make certain non-public requests to the Matalan Kingdom, just like they made to the Matalan Country a few years ago.

Just like what the East India Company did. Nowadays, Haihan has become a climate in the Daming coastal control area in the north, and it has also overwhelmed the East India Company in the South China Sea. Even if the original agreement is canceled now, it will be difficult for Dutch merchant ships to sail in Pakistan again.

A new colonial stronghold was established in the area north of Davia. Both Holland and Haihan knew that the exchange conditions reached at that time no longer had much practical significance under the current situation, so they have kept these

This agreement is just waiting for the right time to cancel it.

Now, the opportunity seems to have arrived, but the way it arrived is a bit difficult for Su Keyi to accept. The East India Company is completely passive in this situation, and Su Keyi can't think of any way to change this situation for a while.

Of course, he could have chosen to reject the bidding plan informed by Schneider just now, but no one could guarantee whether Haihan would directly wipe out the East India Company after rejecting it, so he could only agree to it first, at least to keep the front with the Malayan people.

Opportunity for confrontation.

In addition to the two parties who had different feelings about this incident, there was also a very large group of melon-eating people who had heard about the whole process. From the time when the Matalan people transported the gold bricks to the entrance of Fort Victory and displayed them

From that moment on, the relationship between Haihan, Holland, and Matalan became an important topic of discussion for the local people. As a well-informed Sanya citizen, there is really too much information that can be gleaned from this incident.

First of all, there was the first wave of attention caused by the news report of "Sanya Express". More than half of the citizens of Sanya knew how generous the Madalan people were that day. Soon someone picked out the Madalan people.

Due to past grievances with the Netherlands, the arms purchase proposed by the Malayan people to Haihan was naturally regarded by ordinary people as a slap in the face against the Dutch. However, the official non-committal and vague attitude triggered more speculations.

.

Immediately afterwards, the "Sanya Express" issued a temporary supplement the next day, which corrected and explained the previous day's report, and a new controversy arose in the public opinion. The Dutch colonies in the Far East, as well as the Matalan Kingdom

The location is very far away from Hainan Island. The dispute between Hainan and the two countries has a very small direct impact on the mainland. Therefore, there are not many scruples in discussing this incident among the people. Those who stand from the standpoint of the Netherlands or Matalan

There are many people, and there are also those who sit on the fence and believe that the strategic balance between the two countries should be maintained and not support one of them.

Then new news came out that the officials were preparing to let the two countries obtain arms purchase opportunities through bidding. Most of the people who were interested in melons shouted that the Executive Committee was wise, because only this way of handling it is most in line with Haihan's business-based country.

style. And at least in the eyes of the people, this way of handling it is quite fair to the other two parties. The most important thing is that it doesn't matter who wins or loses between the two parties, but it doesn't matter to the people of Sanya, but this bidding competition

, it will probably become the topic of conversation among the citizens in the next round of tea and dinner, adding some interest to the peaceful life.

On September 20, six days after the Express Incident, Bai Kesi rushed back to Sanya by boat. On his way back south, he was supposed to stay in Guangdong for a few days to meet with some senior officers of the Ming Army in Guangdong, Guangdong and Guangdong to discuss maritime affairs.

Military cooperation between Han and local garrisons. To put it bluntly, it is actually very simple. Haihan provides these senior officers with a certain amount of individual equipment and assists them in training elite soldiers, while these officers provide Haihan with local military equipment.

There are many conveniences, such as some relatively sensitive goods, which can be transported within Guangdong in the name of Ming army munitions to avoid the trouble of checkpoints on the way.

Also arriving in Sanya on the same boat as Bai Kesi was Li Nai, the backstage boss of Express News who rushed to deal with the aftermath after getting the news in Guangzhou. Of course, Li Nai also knew very well that Haihan’s senior management would not charge this account to him.

Yes, but since it was his subordinates who caused the trouble, it is reasonable for him to come out to wipe his ass as the boss.

"Brother Bai, when I see Brother Tao later, he won't give me a bad look on the spot, right?" Seeing the pier getting closer and closer, Li Nai asked a question out of the blue.

Bai Kesi smiled and said: "What are you thinking about? When did you come to Sanya without the executive committee to pick you up? Even when Lao Tao is not free, at least there are other members of the executive committee to accompany you, right?"

Li Nai pretended to be worried and said: "Didn't this just cause trouble? Li is really ashamed of the care he has given me in the past to the brothers of the Executive Committee!"

Bai Kesi waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't play so much. Aren't the causes and consequences clearly stated in the telegram received in Guangzhou? No one blames you for this matter. Why are you rushing to take the blame? I think you are just here

I can’t stay in Guangzhou any longer, and I want to come to Sanya to live for a while, but something like this happened to happen again, so it’s natural for me to apply to come to Sanya with your old man!”

"The one who knows me is Brother Bai!" Li Nai responded with a smile.

Li Nai rushed to Sanya so eagerly to apologize to the executive committee. It was really just an excuse. He just wanted to leave Guangzhou and relax. Of course, it would be good to watch this big show in Sanya by the way. As a loyal supporter of Haihan, Li Nai

Hey, he is no stranger to the situation in the South China Sea, so he can naturally understand why Haihan arranged such a bidding. Whether he is a businessman or a pure melon-eater, Li Nai feels that this scene is worth a special trip from Guangzhou to take a look.

After docking and disembarking, Li Nai was startled by the greeting standards at the pier. There were Haihan troops armed with live ammunition outside the pier in charge of martial law, and almost all the big shots from the executive committee were present. Li Nai had been to Sanya so many times.

, it is also rare to have the opportunity to see such a scene, and my pace slowed down for a while, wondering how to deal with it.

"Don't think too much, I'm not here to pick you up!" Bai Kesi patted Li Nai on the shoulder, then quickly stepped forward and shook hands with the colleagues present.

There is such a scene today, naturally because of the hard work and hard work of Bai Kes on this trip, and everyone expresses condolences and thanks to him in this way. Bai Kes’s trip north not only straightened out the process from Guangdong and Guangxi through the Fujian Strait, Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas

, to the management of many Haihan-controlled areas in the Shandong Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula. More importantly, negotiations and consultations with the Ming Dynasty and North Korea were completed in Liaodong, and the establishment of diplomatic relations with these two countries was facilitated. This can be beneficial to Haihan

It is said to be of great epoch-making significance.

The establishment of diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty means that the Haihan regime has finally been recognized by the Ming Dynasty. This is not only an objective affirmation of the efforts of the travelers over the past few years, but also provides a good foundation for the future international development of the emerging country of Haihan in the Far East.

The status set the tone. Although the Ming Dynasty still refused to admit it secretly, the fact is that the diplomatic relations between Haihan and the Ming Dynasty were equal, rather than the subordinate relationship between North Korea, Annan and other countries and the Ming Dynasty.

In order for the Ming Dynasty to make this step, in addition to Haihan's own strength, Bai Kesi's efforts in the north were also indispensable. It was he who came forward to deal with the envoys of the Ming Dynasty and North Korea for several rounds, and finally achieved this.

An ideal result. It is no exaggeration to say that this deed of Bai Kesi will definitely be written into Haihan history textbooks in the future and be praised by future generations. The executive committee did not arrange for tens of thousands of people to welcome him, so it was already very low-key. Of course, this

It was also Baikes' own request, and he had already communicated with Sanya when he stayed in Guangdong.

And Li Nai also benefited from it, but the big guys in the executive committee were all familiar to him, so he didn't show that he was particularly flattered. After greeting everyone, he saw the opportunity and sent Ning Qi to him.

I pulled him aside and asked the Propaganda Department how they planned to handle the express incident.

"We are all our own people, how else can we deal with it?" Ning Qi also couldn't laugh or cry at Li Nai. We all have known each other for many years, and Li Nai did not instigate this matter. We can't just block the newspaper office and end the matter simply and rudely.

It’s not just that big things are reduced to minor matters, and small things are reduced to nothing. Everyone just treats it as if nothing happened and lets it pass.

Li Nai laughed twice and said: "I'll go to the newspaper office later and check them out and beat them."

Ning Qi said: "When did you acquire the newspaper? Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"

Li Nai said: "If nothing happened this time, I almost forgot that I still had such a business. In the first two years, the original boss of the newspaper wanted to go to Nanyang to set up plantations, and he owed us blessings at that time.

Ruifeng gave me a sum of money, and after some discussion, he mortgaged the newspaper to me at a discounted price. But I took over the newspaper and didn’t take care of it. The people below were taking care of it, and I couldn’t remember it as time went by.

"

"It's so comfortable to be a boss like you!" Ning Qi shook his head helplessly, and could only express his admiration for Li Nai's rich and willful style.

Indeed, Furifeng has numerous investment projects in Haihan. Projects like Kuaibao, which were only handled by Li Nai without personal follow-up afterwards, were naturally forgotten over time. Li Nai also

If you don’t have the energy to personally take care of every business under your name, it would be good if you can spend two or three days every month looking at the accounts compiled from various places. Private media like Kuaibao, which has a small circulation, have little profitability.

It was relatively limited, and the profit in one month was not even comparable to that of a 400-year-old fortune ship traveling back and forth between Sanya and Guangzhou. How could Li Nai have the leisure to pay attention to such a small business?

In order to welcome Bai Kesi's return, the Executive Committee held a reception banquet in the banquet hall of Victory Castle to celebrate his triumphant victory. Of course, Li Nai also greeted him by the way. Li Nai actually noticed this reception banquet.

It was a bit special because the participants were not only the high-ranking officials from Haihan whom I knew well, but also some foreign envoys were invited to attend.

"The Executive Committee is taking this opportunity to officially announce to all countries the news of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Haihan and Ming Dynasty." Schneider explained the purpose of this arrangement to Li Nai: "Although it has been published in the newspaper, today's occasion is more formal.

.In addition, regarding the Dutchman's fight with the Dutchman, we need to take advantage of today's occasion to make a statement."

Li Nai glanced around the banquet hall, and then said to Schneider: "I recognize the East India Company's Su Keyi. Where is the envoy from the other side?"

"The man at the table to the left of Su Keyi, who is dark and strong, with a big gold chain hanging around his neck, is the envoy of the Matalan Kingdom. His name is Luo Honglangsang, and he is the nephew of the Sultan of Matalan, Rateng Langsang. This time

He is the instigator of such a big fuss." Schneider patiently introduced the situation to Li Nai.

"This guy seems to have a bit of a nouveau riche temperament! No wonder he can do things like display gold bricks at the entrance of Victory Fort. It's simple and crude, but the effect seems to be good!" Li Nai commented in a low voice.

While talking, Tao Donglai left the table and walked to the podium at the north end of the banquet hall. A microphone was specially set up here to facilitate important figures to speak during the banquet. After Tao Donglai's voice sounded, the venue suddenly became quiet.

"Commissioner Bai has just explained to you the establishment of diplomatic relations between Haihan and Ming Dynasty. I would like to add that our country's diplomacy has always been based on the principle of peace first and kindness to others, whether it is with Ming Dynasty or with other countries. .But as we all know, there has been some unpleasantness between my country's two trading partners recently due to the arms trade. After many mediations to no avail, the Executive Committee decided to give both parties a chance to compete fairly."

Tao Donglai's voice echoed in the banquet hall, and many people had already turned their attention to the person involved while listening. Su Keyi's face was expressionless, his eyes just staring at the wine glass in front of him, as if what Tao Donglai said had nothing to do with him.

Luo Hong was much more excited. He held his fists and gestured to the people looking around him, with a clear expression of victory.

"...Our country will provide a batch of weapons and equipment that were previously banned from sale to both parties, and the two parties will bid to determine their ownership. But in the end, no matter which party these weapons and equipment belong to, I hope that both parties can live in peace and put these weapons and equipment to good use.

To protect ourselves, not to attack other countries."
