Chapter 945 Actual Benefits

What Schneider wants to promote to various countries through this international trade organization is not only the trade method advocated by Haihan, but also to use the window of trade to export Haihan's financial system, technical standards, cultural concepts, etc. to various countries, so that all members can

The country unknowingly opened its doors and was gradually assimilated by Haihan.

Schneider comes from a time and space four hundred years in the future, and is well aware of the importance of the right to speak in international trade. What he is doing now is to let Haihan play the role of a rule-maker in this regional trade system. By Haihan

Formulating trade rules and technical standards can ensure Haihan's leadership position in this international organization for a long time to come. The necessary conditions to ensure Haihan obtains this position are the strong execution power and strong execution ability that Haihan currently possesses.

Various black technologies that are ahead of the times, as well as the invincible Haihan militia.

Of course, everyone wants to be a high-ranking leader. It will be more difficult for Schneider to persuade these countries to join in and accept Haihan's arrangements than any previous investment conference held by Haihan. For these participants,

What they want to know is not only how Haihan will operate, but also how much practical benefits this international organization will have to its member states, especially the ruling classes in charge of the political power of these countries, after its establishment.

Fortunately, Haihan has already gathered a group of supporters, and these countries and forces have reaped practical benefits from cooperation with Haihan in the past few years, and they are willing to stand up for Haihan at this time and use them to support Haihan.

This will attract new members to join.

Zheng Zha played this kind of flag-waving role in this meeting. His old man Zheng Zha, King of Qingdu, is currently the actual controller of the Annan regime. Although the puppet emperor Li is still enshrined in Annan, it has caused him to have trouble.

There is no so-called title of prince, but everyone at home and abroad, including Haihan, has regarded him as the first heir to the rule of Annan. This time Zheng Jie arranged for Zheng Zha to attend this significant meeting, and even sat in it.

All the previous rumors have been confirmed. Zheng Zhi is already in his sixties. Judging from the average age of emperors in this era, he is already in his twilight years. It should be only a matter of time before he hands over the power to Zheng Zha.

Annan began to cooperate with Haihan in 1627, and continued to exchange population, minerals and other resources for Haihan's military assistance for several years. After the civil war ended in 1629, Annan gradually strengthened economic, cultural and other cooperation with Haihan.

It is said that it is one of the allies that has cooperated with Haihan for the longest time and has the closest relationship. Annan’s existing sea trade ports and trade operations were gradually established under the guidance of Haihan, leaving a profound impression on all aspects.

The Haihan imprint. For example, the current navigation-related measurement units in Annan have begun to generally adopt the measurement standards formulated by Haihan, such as nautical miles, knots, and tons. The trade settlement method has also begun to adopt Haihan's bank voucher model, using stamps.

Standard banknotes that are beautifully made and easy to carry and calculate can replace precious metal currencies of different colors and standards.

In addition to the integration of these operating methods, Annan's biggest benefit is the more trade opportunities provided by Haihan, allowing the originally weak Annan to do business on an equal footing with powerful countries such as Ming Dynasty and Portugal. Relying on grain, timber, medicinal materials, etc.

With the income earned from the export of agricultural and forestry products, Annan has stabilized the domestic chaos in just a few years after the civil war, and hundreds of thousands of war refugees have been able to start living and working in peace and contentment again. Such results are also due to the trade channels opened by Haihan for Annan.

It’s a must.

As the actual rulers of Annam, the Zheng family gained countless practical benefits from dealing with Haihan. If the Haihan people had not sent troops to intervene in the Annam Civil War in time, the North Vietnamese regime would have been defeated as early as 1628.

No longer able to carry it on, they were able to organize a counterattack and defeated the Nguyen regime in South Vietnam in just one year. Haihan's role in it was irreplaceable. Now that the Zheng family can hold power in Annan Kingdom,

It is not an exaggeration to say that Haihan supported him with one hand.

After the Zheng family unified Annan, the cooperation with Haihan was no longer limited to military and trade. Exchanges and integration between the government and the people at various levels were constantly advancing. At present, the literati and craftsmen selected by the Annan government to study abroad in Sanya

, the number of soldiers is still increasing year by year, and after these people study in Haihan for a period of time, they will be more or less affected by Haihan's propaganda and brainwashing methods, and their views will tend to be in the direction advocated by Haihan. When these people come back

After arriving in Annan, most of them will devote themselves to promoting Haihan's advanced systems and experience. As more and more middle- and upper-class people in society have received Haihan training, Annan's domestic acceptance of various new things from Haihan is also increasing.

The higher you go, the more various arguments that praise Haihan appear.

As a long-term partner and actual beneficiary of Haihan cooperation, Zheng Zha is relatively clear about the goals Haihan wants to achieve this time, and is willing to cooperate. During his more than two-month cruise in the South China Sea, he met with Yan Chujie and others

People have sufficient time to exchange views and discuss some specific operational details. On the one hand, they can obtain better conditions for Annan to join. On the other hand, they must also cooperate well with Haihan on the field during this multi-party meeting and strive to

Attract more new members to join.

"...Our operation methods in the trade field can refer to Annan's model. We will provide technical guidance and customize the design, construction and operation plan of the trade port for your country. At the same time, we will also transfer some advanced shipbuilding technology

, so that each member country has the ability to build standardized high-speed cargo sailing boats." Schneider promptly introduced the topic to Annan-related content, and then actively invited Zheng Zha to join the presentation: "Prince Zheng, who attended the talks on behalf of Annan this time,

He has very profound insights and rich practical experience in maritime trade. I would like to ask the young prince to briefly talk about the current foreign trade situation in Annan to all the distinguished guests present."

Zheng Zha slightly cupped his hands to everyone present, and then continued: "Whether Haihan's system is good or not, Zheng has seen it clearly in the past few years. I believe everyone also knows what the situation in Annan was in the past few years.

Ports engaged in maritime trade such as Hue and Hoi An were destroyed by the war. The whole country did not even have the ability to build sailing ships with more than 200 materials. But look at today, we have six foreign trade seaports in Annan, except Hai Han.

In addition to the Ming Dynasty, it also includes the countries in the South China Sea, as well as Western countries such as Portugal and the Netherlands. Zheng believes that it is the appropriate development strategy formulated by Haihan for Annan, coupled with mutual trust and mutual benefit between the two parties, that can lead to the success of Annan in just this year after the war.

Today's results have been achieved within a short period of time. If this mechanism can be extended to all countries in the South China Sea so that everyone can reap the benefits of trade, peace in this region will be just around the corner."

Zheng Zha was not stingy with his compliments, and even went so far as to link the trade system advocated by the Haihan people with regional peace. However, not everyone agrees with his statement at the moment, such as the Dutch East India Company.

After Governor Van Diemen listened to Su Keyi's translation of this passage, he had a different view on it.

"Prince Zheng just mentioned that joining the Haihan trade system can bring peace to the region. I have reservations." Although Van Diemen came to negotiate terms with Haihan, he would not mind holding on to it.

I'll fight Haihan when I get the chance.

The relationship between the Dutch East India Company and Heyhan is the most delicate among the many forces here. The two companies have fought against each other several times in the past few years. Although the result was a one-sided advantage for Heyhan and forced the Netherlands to

They gave up control of Ambrina Island and most of the west coast of Taiwan Island. This time they even coerced Batavia to send Van Diemen himself to participate in the Ambrana Island talks, but the East India Company did not do so.

And completely admit defeat, if you get the chance, you still have to jump to prove your sense of existence.

Van Diemen said unhurriedly: "We have been dealing with Haihan for several years. During the whole process, we did not feel the peace claimed by Mr. Schneider. Instead, we continued to suffer armed provocations from Haihan. During this process, Haihan

Han Dynasty did not use trade as a means of communication, and has always relied on force to coerce us into submission. Is this the emerging trade model of freedom and equality that Mr. Schneider mentioned? With all due respect, I think the content of your propaganda is inconsistent with the actual operation.

The methods are inconsistent, and there is no real guarantee whether we will receive the treatment you promised after joining this trade alliance."

"Let me answer Mr. Van Diemen's question." Yan Chujie took the initiative after listening to the translation: "First of all, I want to make it clear that the conflicts mentioned by Mr. Van Diemen did occur, but this

This was all before we proposed the trade alliance plan. In other words, the force measures Haihan used against the East India Company in the past were not directly related to the plan we are now proposing. This time we invited the East India Company to participate in the talks, and

It is with the attitude of seeking peace that we hope that everyone can sit down and resolve disputes through consultation instead of blindly fighting. One of the purposes of establishing this alliance is to eliminate various existing conflicts.

.”

Yan Chujie paused and continued: "As for the commitment and guarantee you mentioned, I think the business reputation Haihan has accumulated in the past few years should be the best guarantee. We will do what we say, and everyone here will do what we say.

Everyone should see it in their eyes and remember it in their hearts. Whether Haihan is doing well or not, everyone can vote with their feet to see how many people will choose to trust us."

Van Diemen snorted. Of course he knew that most of the people here had benefited from the trade system established by the Haihan people, and few had actually done anything with Haihan. The Portuguese regarded Haihan as a thigh hug.

Since he is an old enemy of the Netherlands, he will naturally not stand up to support him.

After Yan Chujie finished speaking, a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar sitting on the left said: "I, Dong Yanyun, attended this event on behalf of the Fujian government of the Ming Dynasty. What do you think of Mr. Van Diemen's remarks?"

Something to say."

When Van Diemen heard about this man's identity, he looked a little unhappy. The Dutch had a bad record along the coast of the Ming Dynasty and had wars with the officials in Fuzhou and Guangzhou. There must be nothing good to say from him.

Sure enough, Dong Yanyun went on to say: "Your company came to the coast of the Ming Dynasty in the early years. It was in the name of trade, but in fact it robbed the place and tried to seize our country. After being expelled by our army, it also tried to secretly fund the pirate gang.

Eighteen Zhizhi continued to fight against the government. All these are proven. Just now, Mr. Van Diemen said that his family was like a white lotus, but it was an act to confuse the public. It was obviously an act of banditry, but he wanted to pretend to be a victim.

If Haihan had not been providing military assistance to the Fuguang government in the past few years, the puppets supported by your company might have actually come ashore and become officials of the Ming Dynasty!"

Dong Yanyun, as Xu Xinsu's staff, is naturally very aware of the grudges between Xu Xinsu and Shibazhi, and it is not a secret that the Dutch played a role in fueling the flames behind this. The most terrible black history like this is not just

In the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch have always used force to clear the way in Southeast Asia. Over the years, they have slaughtered and trafficked as many as 80,000 indigenous people, if not 100,000. There are many people who are dissatisfied with them, but they have always suffered from having no one to support them.

However, the East India Company could only tolerate this.

However, the current environment is a little different. There is also Haihan who is more ruthless and capable of beating than Holland, and Haihan has offended far fewer people than the East India Company. Dong Yanyun spoke here, and then

Representatives from several other countries also began to uncover the dark history of the Dutch, which made Van Diemen very embarrassed.

In the end, Schneider raised his hand to signal everyone to temporarily stop condemning the East India Company, and then continued the topic: "There were many wars in the South China Sea in the past, and the reasons were many and complicated. There is no need for us to go there one by one.

Discussion. What I want to say is that every country makes choices based on its own actual interests, and the trade alliance we are advocating now hopes to integrate the interests of all countries in this region. To

When we make money, we all make it together, and if there are benefits, we all share it together. If anyone wants to break this rule, let us all condemn it together, or use our own game rules to punish the violators."

"What if the trouble is caused by forces outside the alliance? For example, pirates or countries that have not joined the alliance." Some people felt that Schneider's statement was still incomplete and seemed to still have loopholes, so they pointed it out immediately.

Yan Chujie said solemnly: "Although the alliance we established is to serve international trade, it is not without guarantees. In fact, we are already forming a new South China Sea Fleet, which will be stationed at the Xingdao base in the South China Sea starting next year to connect the East and the West.

Protect maritime trade routes.”
