Chapter 2706

After dawn, the delegation entered Asu Bay again by boat. The person who greeted them on the pier was still Zong Xiongta, the head of the Busan Japanese Museum. However, compared with the day before, Zong Xiongta's face showed a look of fatigue that could not be concealed.

His eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, which proved that he probably didn't get much sleep last night. The dazzling gold jewelry on his body was also gone. I don't know if he deliberately kept a low profile, or he was too distracted and forgot to put it on.

Seeing Zong Xiongtai's appearance, Wen Zhihong was quite proud. He had been dealing with Zong Xiongtai for many years, and they had fought many times overtly and secretly. It was rare that he could completely suppress the other party. But now the other party's attitude is obviously worse than that of Zong Xiongtai.

Nowadays, I am much more humble, and I can finally tell who is strong and who is weak.

Of course, Wen Zhihong has the upper hand now, not because he is really much more powerful than Zong Xiong, but because he is using the arrival of the Haihan delegation to show off his power.

Later, I saw the feudal lord Zong Yizhen in Jinshi Castle. His state was almost the same as Zong Yutai, and he was far less energetic than when we met yesterday.

However, both Shi Chengwu and Tao Hongfang were keenly aware that many of the retainers and cronies who accompanied Zong Yizhen in the negotiations yesterday did not appear at today's meeting.

Tao Hongfang tilted his head slightly and whispered to Shi Chengwu: "It seems that today is either a Hongmen Banquet or a liquidation of some people overnight."

Shi Chengwu smiled and said: "We will know the truth soon."

After Shi Chengwu finished speaking, he subconsciously touched the pistol at his waist. This seven-shot semi-automatic pistol is a new model of pistol produced by the Haihan Ordnance Research Institute in the past two years. It uses a single-row magazine to feed ammunition.

, the combat performance and reliability are far superior to the revolvers equipped to officers and armed police in the past. However, due to its complex process and high production cost, mass production is not yet possible. Only a few special people are equipped with this new pistol.

.

The Executive Committee has long stipulated that all second-generation children, without exception, will receive a certain degree of military training when they reach adulthood, including the use of self-defense weapons such as pistols. Shi Chengwu, Tao Hongfang, and Ning Zijing participated in the negotiations

, all carried pistols with them, so that if something happened, they would at least have a fighting chance.

They had already discussed the possible risks last night. Once the other party wanted to turn against them on the spot, the first priority would be to control the enemy chief and release flares at the same time, and then seek to escape. There were two warships anchored in the port.

The company's elite infantry even prepared several light field guns that are easy to maneuver and can be used for landing operations at any time.

Of course, the possibility of such an extreme situation happening is very slim. Tsui Ma Fan has no tradition of using force to solve problems in history. Moreover, there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. Even if Tsui Ma Fan tries his best, there is absolutely no hope of a comeback. On the contrary, it will lead to

With his own destruction accelerating, it is really impossible for Zong Yi not to understand this situation.

However, after Zong Yizhen spoke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief: "Regarding yesterday's discussion, there are two requirements for Ma Fan. First, there needs to be a buffer to change the special status of this fan in the Japan-Japan trade.

Period, so that many industries of this vassal can have time to make adjustments. Secondly, Haihan State needs to come up with a feasible plan to ensure the commercial interests of this vassal after changing the way of trade."

After one night, Zong Yizhen's attitude changed drastically, and he offered cooperation conditions so readily, which really exceeded everyone's expectations. They originally thought that today they would have to at least push and pull, and even impose more.

Only with the pressure could it be possible to force Zong Yizhen to make concessions. Even an extreme situation with a very small probability of falling out and taking action was within the scope of their expectations, but they never expected that things would turn out like this.

Tao Hongfang's reaction was very quick. He was afraid that Zong Yi would really regret it, so he immediately responded: "The two requests made by the Lord of the feudal lord are also reasonable. I think they can be discussed slowly. As long as the general direction is set,

These minor issues will not affect our future cooperation."

As Tao Hongfang said, after the general direction was set, the negotiation process accelerated significantly. The North Korean side did not expect Tsuima to give up its trade privileges immediately, so it was an unexpected surprise that Zongyi could really relent. Wen Zhi

Hong Ye knew that this matter was all due to Haihan's pressure, but he did not dare to push too far and make more demands.

Zhen Yizhen proposed that a five-year buffer period was needed. After some negotiations, it was finally set at three years, starting from the next year. Tsushima will give up part of its exclusive trade share year by year. By the third year

It ends with the complete abandonment of the old trading model.

In exchange, Haihan and North Korea will provide a series of support measures to Tsushima, including the establishment of commercial institutions in major trade ports along the coasts of the two countries, the authority to engage in trade activities, and various commercial services provided by Haihan.

information.

"I still have something unclear. Can you please clarify my doubts?" By noon, the negotiations were suspended, but Zong Yizhen raised a question to Tao Hongfang: "What benefits can Haihan get from this transaction?"

This is a question that has been bothering Zong Yijin since Zong Xiongtai brought back the news. He doesn't quite understand why Haihan wants to push this matter. If it is just to help the Koreans, then it would be too much to pay.

Naturally, Tao Hongfang would not admit that this was one of the conditions in exchange for North Korea to let Haihan delimit the exclusive economic zone in Busan. Instead, he explained from another angle: "The old trade method has seriously hindered the development of cross-border trade in this region.

, only by making changes can we continue to increase the scale of trade, and all participants, including the three of us, will be beneficiaries. The capital, manpower, and experience of Ma Fan will become part of this trading system in the future, and we are convinced that this can bring considerable

long-term benefits, which has been fully demonstrated over the past two decades."

Soyoshi Shindao: "Perhaps one day, Tsushima Domain will also become your evidence to convince others."

Tao Hongfang nodded and said: "It doesn't take long. We will visit major trading ports in your country next, and we will also use this successful cooperation for external publicity."

Zong Yizhen continued to ask: "If I want to quickly learn from your country's trade experience, do you have any good suggestions?"

Tao Hongfang smiled and said: "It's very simple. Tsuima Fan can select some outstanding talents on its own and travel to various trading ports in Haihan. Or join Haihan's merchant shipping company to learn professional knowledge. If this is still not enough, then you can

Go to Sanya, the capital of our country, to study abroad. There is an academy there that specializes in teaching business subjects and treats students from all countries equally."
