Chapter 554: WTO

Duke Duvalter of Braganza was once a playboy who was ignorant and knew only about love and beauty. His cousin Alfonso V was not close to him, and he did not want to participate in these troubles in Portugal. Who knew once

Accidentally changed all this!

Two years is enough to make a playboy who is ignorant of the world a warrior. Duvalt becomes resolute and courageous, and his whole body is in a sharp state and becomes very aggressive! He doesn't understand Wo Ya's words, but the situation is

It is so urgent that Hua Houwei and Ferdinand II have become in-laws, and the previous war in Spain has gradually subsided. When will the Kingdom of Portugal be able to re-independence?

"Hmph! Woya, you are right. But time, seeing the nobles of Portugal rush to Ferdinand, time is not on our side! We must do something!"

"Oh, you are right, but the personality of the Prince of the Ming Empire, well, you must be more secure. He is our last hope, and you must not be careless!" Woya sighed, and he really didn't like Duvalter in his heart.

Duvalte nodded: "Of course! But you must understand that God will not help the unsaved people. The revival of the Portuguese kingdom must rely on us, not powerful foreign aid!"

The banquet ended soon, and Hua Houwei gave Catherine a wink, Ferdinand bid farewell to the enthusiastic Ikorama, turned around and followed Hua Houwei to Hua Houwei's hospitality room.

"Please sit there, Your Majesty Ferdinand, there is no need for too much etiquette here!"

Ferdinand smiled and sat casually on a chair of the Majestic Master Rosewood. He picked up the Chaiyaotian celadon on the table and asked in surprise: "Why have I never seen such a tea set?"

Hua Houwei smiled and first narrowed the distance between each other before discussing the matter. Ferdinand is undoubtedly an old world. It doesn’t matter, strength determines everything. How can a monkey escape the hunter’s website?

"I'll say this, let alone in Europe, even in the Ming Empire, there are no more than ten such things! It is a treasure from more than 600 years ago. You can probably buy this one in your hand.

Lower Rome!”

Damn! Ferdinand is just looking for a topic, but he doesn't want to pay the money out of the city! He put down the Tianqing porcelain tea cup in panic and looked reluctantly: "It's so elegant, but unfortunately I can't afford it! After all, Spain is just an emerging kingdom

, there are too many things to solve!"

Hua Houwei smiled, leaned down, staring at Ferdinand with his eyes: "Your Majesty, Gibraltar and Sardinia, what do you think?"

Oh? The conditions have been issued! Ferdinand was excited, not afraid of you asking for a price everywhere, but afraid of you not saying it! He smiled slightly: "In Europe, the territory of the kingdom has never been fixed! Although Gibraltar is important, we are from

Sardinia, which the Arabs snatched back from their hands, is well, as long as the price is enough, it can also be the territory of the Ming Empire!"

Hua Houwei laughed out loud: "Haha! Your Majesty, you haven't figured out the situation yet! The Ming Empire has enough strength to occupy any land it wants to occupy! The incorrect encounter between Medina and Maxilian shows this.

?”

Ferdinand knew that this could not be avoided, so he said quietly: "Yes, the strength of the Ming Empire can indeed be achieved. But what about Europe's attitude? I said that the territory of the European kingdom has never been fixed.

Why? Because the kings of Europe are more or less kinship, war determines the territory not the main theme of Europe!”

Hua Houwei laughed in silence: "Not right? Why did I hear that the Cambray League just defeated Venice? Of course, what you said makes sense, so for Sister Catherine's sake, you can make your request!"

The highlight is coming! Ferdinand cheered up and carefully said slowly: "Spain hopes to maintain a good relationship with the Ming Empire. For this reason, we can allow the Ming Empire to garrison in Gibraltar, or rent Sardinia to

The Ming Empire. Of course, as a beneficiary, the Ming Empire was no longer allowed to support the rebellion of the dukes of Portugal and participate in internal Spanish affairs such as the Marquis of Medina. Well, in terms of trade, Spain hopes to receive the most-favored-nation treatment, the same principle of reciprocity

Next, Spain will also give the Ming Empire the most favored-nation treatment."

Garage? Lease? Hua Houwei pondered and took care of the pen in his hand. After a while, he smiled and said, "The Ming Empire of Gibraltar can be occupied in the name of Marin, and there is no need for Spain's recognition. Sardinia, haha, I am frank,

When the Ming Empire set foot here, no one could take it away from the Ming Empire! Even if the army gathered across Europe was the same! So, why can Spain ask for so much? This is not enough!"

Ferdinand's forehead swelled up and his breath was a little heavy. Yes, Hua Houwei was telling the truth, but this naked threat made Ferdinand unable to accept it. Hua Houwei smiled, Ferdinand

There is no need to worry too much. Spain is not the most important part of the European territory! But for Catherine's sake, there is no need to embarrass him too much. After all, England's future situation needs to be carefully considered. He pointed to tea

"Try it, maybe this is the best Chinese tea you have ever tasted in your life!"

Ferdinand then stepped down and picked up the teacup that he dared not touch easily, took a sip: "Ah, after a little bitterness, it will be sweet, and the spirit is also refreshed. Prince, what kind of tea is this?



"Yunwu Mountain! His Majesty Ferdinand, any kind of tribute tea is a good thing that is difficult to see outside the Ming Dynasty! After all, the distance between us is too far!"

Ferdinand immediately beat the snake and went on the stick: "Yes, so we can live in peace. Your Excellency the Prince is already a member of the European aristocratic circle. You will have treatment that matches your strength!"

"Well, then Gibraltar and Sardinia?"

"Haha, let's do this, Gibraltar is too important, and the Ming Empire cannot be its master in name. Let's do this, as the king of Spain, I ask the Ming Empire to protect Gibraltar for a hundred years! Sardinia,

Sardinia could serve as a free trade zone, with the Ming Empire responsible for its security until later.”

Hua Houwei thought for a moment and nodded happily: "Yes! The sooner this formal document is reached, the better, otherwise it will affect the normal diplomatic relations between the two countries. Well, in exchange, the Ming Empire gave up supporting the restoration of the Portuguese Kingdom, but Woya and El Salvador were both in the Ming Dynasty.

Within the protection of the empire!”

Ferdinand was stunned, still wondering what Hua Houwei meant in his words. Hua Houwei smiled and emphasized again: "Only Woya and El Salvador! I don't know the others, nor do I want to know them!"

Ferdinand suddenly realized: "I understand! Well, the Kingdom of Spain fully agrees! Then, the trade between the two countries?"

"The government shall not interfere with business activities, well, except for those who commit crimes! Lacquerware can be used as a unique trade commodity in Spain, and the rest are treated equally with the Pope!"

Ferdinand nodded happily: "Okay! That's great! The interests of the Pope and the Kingdom of Spain are consistent, and there is no problem at all!"

The two sides finally reached an agreement that the most direct obstacle to the development of the Ming Empire in Europe was eliminated! Of course, the things that the Spanish Kingdom was most worried about disappeared, and Ferdinand was also very satisfied! In order to express his sincerity, Hua Houwei sold them to Ferdinand at a low price.

A blue and white porcelain toilet in the south promised to send craftsmen to help him build a bathroom comparable to that of Julius.

The bride Silod had already gone to rest, and Hua Houwei was still rushing to the place where Jiang Mian met with the Venetian Republic. As soon as he entered the door, the voices of the two almost overturned the roof.

"No, no! Dear Chiang, this is unfair! Venice is a country that advocates fairness very much and will not have a bad impact on the trade of the Ming Empire in Europe!"

"No! This is not what the Ming Dynasty must say that Venice will disrupt prices, but prevent problems before they happen!"

Hua Houwei's appearance stopped the two of them. Hua Houwei signaled the two to sit down and said with a smile: "I have an idea that may be helpful to the things we argue about!"

Jiang Mian and Hua Houwei did not work much, so they had long wanted to see the ability of King Wu to turn stones into gold, and immediately encouraged him with a smile: "The officials have always admired the prince's ability, but they have never had a chance. The officials listened attentively!"

Hua Houwei nodded: "It's simple to say, link the member states willing to develop the most favorable trade with our Ming Dynasty to form an institution. Well, because it was advocated by the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty is the host. This institution can do all

Member states divide the shares of the goods shipped to Europe by the Ming Dynasty. Then they sell them in their own country. Of course, they can also be sold across regions in the form of auctions. Note that the shares are not static, and they can be negotiated every few years or sold.

Methods for dividing the amount corresponding to the shares.”

Jiang Mian pondered for a moment and nodded: "The prince agreed with him! This is a good way to resolve the dispute. You can discuss the details, but what is the name of this organization?"

"The Ming Dynasty trade organization with Europe, referred to as Ming and Europe Trade!"

Jiang Mian frowned: "Prince, do you think the lower lord is a little narrow?"

Hua Houwei raised his eyebrows: "Hmm? Narrow?"

"Yes! Xiaguan thinks this organization can solve the problem of Ming foreign trade. It is called Ming and Ou, and the scope is too narrow. It is better to be called the world name. What does the prince think?"

Hua Houwei was stunned: "World Trade Organization?"

"Yes! It is referred to as the WTO for short!" Jiang Mian said excitedly!

Hua Houwei suddenly felt a very ridiculous feeling. He always heard about the WTO in his previous life, but he didn't expect that he had become the leader of the WTO inadvertently!
