Chapter 2707

In the afternoon of the same day, the three parties finally reached a preliminary agreement on the revision of cross-border trade rules. Although there are still some details that need to be confirmed through further consultations, it does not affect the overall situation.

Shi Chengwu arranged for Fu Guoqing to temporarily stay on Tsushima Island to negotiate with the Japanese on the follow-up implementation details. The subsequent official documents that need to be signed will also be signed by Fu Guoqing on behalf of Haihan. The mission has been delayed for several days on this matter, and must

We have to start heading south as soon as possible.

As the other party involved in the agreement, Wen Zhihong also temporarily stayed on Tsushima Island to ensure that the oral agreement reached so far can be smoothly promoted. At least until the three parties signed a formal document, he could really feel relieved.

The demarcation of the Haihan area in Busan was a big blow to Wen Zhihong, and the Busan government also lost a major source of income. However, it was a blessing in disguise, and due to a combination of circumstances, it promoted Haihan.

Participate in the revision of trade rules. Once the stumbling block of Tsushima is removed, it will be greatly beneficial to the long-term development of Busan in the future. This move may even become a major political achievement for Wen Zhihong to express his merits to others.

Before setting off to leave Tsushima Island, the Haihan Fleet and the North Korean Navy led by Adoshi met at sea outside Asu Bay. Dozens of large and small warships spread out in formation on the sea, and the scene was spectacular.

Zong Yizhen and others saw this scene from the heights of Jinshi City, and they couldn't help but secretly rejoice that the situation had not deteriorated to the point of using force. Otherwise, how could the Tsushima Domain with its existing military strength be able to withstand such a situation?

A huge maritime armed force.

Of course, they also knew very well that the Haihan people's move was for the purpose of shocking people. The combined fleet stayed outside Asu Bay for at least two hours to ensure that everyone near the coast had seen its presence before slowly sailing away.

This scene will probably stay in the memory of the local people for a long time, and will dispel all unrealistic ideas of using force to fight against Haihan.

Zong Yizhen looked at the retreating combined fleet on the sea and said with emotion: "Chinese military art says that you can conquer the enemy without fighting, so that's probably it!"

Zongxiong Tai next to him responded: "But is it really worth it for us to make such a big concession?"

"Whether it's worth it depends on how much compensation we can get from Haihan." Zong Yizhen said meaningfully: "As the Haihan people said, we have funds, manpower, and experience, but what we lack is the space to play.

.If we can get out of the strait and explore the outside world, maybe we can open up a different situation!"

At the same time, in the conference room on the Zhoushan, Zhu Zian was asking Tao Hongfang the same question: "We have given so much compensation to Ma Fan, and even allowed them to send people to learn how to do business.

Isn’t this supporting competitors? Is it really worth it in exchange for cooperation with Ma Fan?”

Tao Hongfang smiled and said: "You only saw the conditions we gave, but you didn't see the benefits we could get. You think he will become our competitor to Ma Fan, but in fact cooperation and competition coexist.

.Besides, even without this agreement, wouldn’t Tsushima be our competitor?”

Zhu Zian hesitated and said: "Profit? In addition to commercial taxes and tuition fees, are there any other benefits?"

Tao Hongfang smiled and shook his head: "Things are not as simple as you think. If they want to do business at our ports, do business with our commercial institutions, and integrate into the trading system we lead, they must abide by the rules we have formulated.

Trade rules and financial systems, you can think about what that means."

Expanding the trade system overseas will bring benefits to Haihan far beyond taxes and tuition fees. Taking Tsushima as an example, if they want to operate in the trading system dominated by Haihan, they must first adapt to Haihan's various

Trade rules. The most basic commodity measurement, pricing, settlement methods, etc. must follow the standards set by Haihan from now on.

Haihan has great technical advantages in the field of shipping. First, it uses standard-sized wooden containers to transport ordinary goods, which can easily calculate freight and make full use of the cargo space on the ship. Second, it has specialized bulk carriers for transportation.

The loading and unloading efficiency of dry bulk cargoes such as coal, ore, and grain is much higher than that of old cargo ships. Third, radio stations can be used as a special tool to quickly obtain business information from major ports and allocate shipping capacity according to demand.

With these conditions, Haihan can reduce the cost of shipping to a level that is difficult for other countries to achieve, and use its low-cost advantage to defeat competitors and then control pricing power. Members of this trading system can only use Haihan to formulate

Only by meeting these standards can we conduct fair transactions with Haihan and other members.

After several years of unremitting promotion and management by Haihan, any new force like Tsushima that joins this special trading system cannot overturn the existing rules and formulate a new set of standards.

Trade activities will only further consolidate this system. As vested interests, the greater the scale of trade within the system, the more they will become supporters of this system, and will continue to actively promote relevant rules and standards to the outside world.

go out.

In addition, the settlement method within this trading system was also formulated by Haihan. The currency plan of banks and banknotes has already followed Haihan's products and penetrated into the foreign trade markets of various countries, even die-hard Tsushima Fan is no exception.

Among the various trade activities completed in Busan, at least 40 to 50% are now settled using Haihan banknotes or bank transfers. No matter how cautious Ma Fan is, it is impossible to bypass Haihan's financial system.

If the Tsushima Domain wants to expand the scope of trade in the future, it must accept Kaihan currency as a means of settlement. The trade activities it engages in will also further expand the scale of Kaihan financial system and promote more Japanese merchants to become users of Kaihan currency.

who.

Schneider has been planning for more than 20 years to make Haihan currency an international currency, and has achieved excellent results in East Asia. The cost of controlling the minting power of international currency through trade means is much lower than that of war.

Or mining gold and silver mines, and the actual benefits brought to Haihan are considerable, so from the executive committee to private commercial organizations, they have been sparing no effort to promote Haihan's financial system to the outside world over the years.

If Tsuima Domain wants to send people to Kaihan to learn various trade rules and business skills, they cannot avoid learning the relevant systems and standards. When these people return to Tsushima after learning, they will naturally formulate Kaihan regulations.

Various standards and financial systems were brought back, so that Tsushima could integrate into Haihan's trading system after assimilation. And it is difficult to measure the specific value of such benefits in money.
