At every product fair, many businessmen from abroad come to visit and purchase. This year’s summer fair is no exception. There are caravans from countries in Southeast Asia, India and the Arab world. Those who look like this can be seen everywhere in Peiping City.
The foreigners with different costumes have the atmosphere of an international metropolis.
All these business travelers who came from afar admired the prosperity of Peking City and the prosperity of the Republic of China. Some of them even had the idea of immigrating. Wan Lei welcomed this, but they must also follow the immigration laws. If they want to immigrate,
Yes, one thousand silver dollars per person, only cash will be accepted, no credit will be given.
Immigrants are just residents after entering the country. They are dispersed and placed in various places. They must participate in civic education and learn Chinese language and law before they can be naturalized. Because there is only one kind of people in the Republic of China, and that is the citizens of the Republic of China. No matter where they come from, they must
Sinicization means that we can no longer retain our original culture and religious beliefs, let alone form a "township party".
In addition, there is a limit on the number of immigrants each year, which will not exceed 10,000. These immigrants are dispersed to various provinces, like mud cows drowning in the sea. They cannot form ethnic groups at all, let alone form reactionary forces that threaten the country. They can only obediently
Become a citizen and finally be completely integrated into Chinese culture.
Most foreign businessmen cannot afford to "buy" an immigrant quota for one thousand silver dollars. After all, silver dollars are the strongest currency in the Republic of China. Measured by purchasing power, one silver dollar is worth about three kilo meters, and this is still in the Republic of China.
Domestically, in India, even three hundred kilograms of fine cotton may not be exchanged for one silver dollar.
This shows how difficult it is to earn a thousand silver dollars. Moreover, these maritime merchants are not single aristocrats. If they want to immigrate, they have to come with their whole family. Thousands of silver dollars, which is something that few can afford, and can really afford.
They must be from the aristocratic class. Unless these people can no longer survive in their own country, they will not come to the Republic of China to become citizens.
Therefore, there are not many people who actually immigrate through investment. Many people want to take the talent immigration route. To put it bluntly, they want to be compradors and lead the party. Wan Lei also welcomes this, but the management is still very strict.
, if you are not determined to be a lackey and want to naturalize, there is no way.
The exhibition lasted for ten days. After the expo, Liu Wenfa, the general manager of Huayuan Company in charge of foreign trade matters, came to Huayuan to report on the import and export situation of this quarter. As a state-owned holding company, Huayuan Company is the main financial and taxation company in the Republic of China.
One of the reasons is that management is naturally strict, and the general manager is directly responsible to the president.
"In the spring and summer of this year, the export volume has obviously declined. The total export value is about 40 million silver dollars, and the profits and taxes are about 7 million silver dollars; the import volume has increased, with the total value being about 30 million silver dollars, and the surplus has decreased by about 30 million silver dollars year-on-year.
Six hundred silver dollars." Liu Wenfa has been in charge of Huayuan Company for many years and is proficient in various businesses. He directly submitted the data report to Wan Lei.
"The decline in export volume is expected, but it is a bit surprising to see such a sudden decline." Wan Lei glanced at these reports and frowned slightly.
"It's like this. Luzon, Annan, Myanmar and other Southeast Asian countries seem to have formed some alliance and unanimously boycotted our country's goods. Without these major markets, the export volume will naturally decrease, and there will be a small-scale unsalable goods, the price
It has also declined slightly." Liu Wenfa also frowned.
Of course Wan Lei knew why these countries boycotted the products of the Republic of China. The main reason was that the Republic of China occupied Xiaoliuqiu, which made these countries feel uneasy. They were unable to compete with the navy of the Republic of China and could only resort to seclusion.
Cut off commodity trade with the Republic of China in order to curb the development of the Republic of China.
"Now that export volume is declining, this is not too bad. We can take the opportunity to adjust the economic structure, expand domestic demand, and improve the domestic consumer market." Wan Lei sighed. He himself also knew that capitalism has its own problems.
As for the economic cycle, the reason why it developed rapidly some time ago is because overseas countries still have a lot of gold and silver reserves. The Republic of China has been engaged in commodity dumping for several years. Those countries have less gold and silver on hand, and their purchasing power is inevitably reduced.
.
Since overseas market demand has declined, it is timely to adjust the economic structure, reduce exports, actively develop new products, develop new industries, expand the domestic consumer market, and improve people's livelihood. In short, it is to improve the country's ability to resist risks to cope with various large and small
economic crisis on a massive scale.
Of course, Wan Lei also knows that the key to solving the problem of economic downturn is technology. Only by constantly researching new technologies and developing new products can we cultivate new economic growth points and ensure that the national economy continues to rise.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is responsible for the reform of the economic structure, and it cannot be effective in a short time. Now there is a backlog and unsalable products within Huayuan Company. How to solve this problem?"
"Send a few more fleets to the East and West continents to transport these unsalable goods there and exchange them for more gold and silver. At the same time, reduce the orders to major manufacturers and let each chamber of commerce coordinate on their own to reduce the order appropriately.
output, or switch to the production of other commodities that are urgently needed domestically."
"What about the markets of Luzon, Annan, Myanmar and other countries? Shouldn't we no longer fight for it?" Liu Wenfa asked unwillingly. Luzon, Annan, Myanmar and other countries are very close to the Republic of China, with low transportation costs and low shipping risks.
, he really doesn’t want to give up these big markets right at his doorstep.
"Ignore Annan for the time being. As for Luzon, Myanmar and other countries, I will take some time to meet with their envoys and see if we can negotiate a peace treaty." Wan Lei said calmly, according to the plan, he will make peace with them next year.
The Annan Kingdom uses troops, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't use this so-called market. Anyway, the Annan Kingdom is very poor and is far less wealthy than the Champa Kingdom.
"Well, we can only ask His Majesty to come forward on this matter. However, our country must find a way to truly control maritime trade. Otherwise, as soon as those countries close their doors, maritime trade will be in trouble, which will seriously endanger our country's economic security." Liu Wenfa said seriously.
He said that the so-called method he said was actually to use the navy to deter people and forcefully open the customs of those countries.
"Violence cannot solve the problem. If a country boycotts our products from top to bottom, we can't open the market even if we send an army there. The key is to have some products that the other party can't refuse so that they have to beg us." Wan
Lei said.
"An irresistible product?" Liu Wenfa was a little puzzled.
"As a living creature, it is natural for human beings to be greedy for life and afraid of death. Those nobles may not wear fine clothes, use beautiful utensils, or eat delicious food, but they must not risk their lives. And birth, old age, illness and death are natural phenomena, and there are many diseases for which there is no cure.
It can be cured. If we have a cure-all and life-saving medicine, do you think they will come to us to ask for it?"
