Chapter 966 Trade Targets

Rather than using war to conquer opponents, Haihan has always been more inclined to control the opponent's economic lifeline from the commercial field. War means burning money. If you can directly control the opponent's economy, then there is no need to use force in many situations.

The purpose of Haihan's efforts in organizing the South China Sea Trade Alliance is, firstly, to integrate the common interests of all parties in various countries, and secondly, to allow Haihan's business system to operate legitimately in these countries and regions.

Compared with military means, Haihan's way of invading the economic fields of these countries through trade is actually more difficult to resist. The mature economic and financial systems and operating methods are hundreds of years ahead of the average level of this era, and the implementation and promotion of these things

In fact, the difficulty is far less than the black technology of manufacturing in Haihan's hands. Other countries only see the rigor and convenience of Haihan's trade system, but it is difficult to realize the consequences that will be brought about after these rules are applied to their own domestic markets.

long-term risks.

Haihan hurriedly negotiated the general framework of the South China Sea Trade Alliance before the anniversary, in order to discuss more trade agreements while various countries were attending the ceremony in Sanya, and to spread Haihan's commercial and financial system in the South China Sea as soon as possible.

The Haihan Executive Committee believes that even Western counterparts who are known for their trading capabilities will find it difficult to have enough motivation to continue to compete head-on with Haihan after they truly enter the trading system created by Haihan.

For this reason, the Ministry of Commerce has been consulting with the competent authorities of manufacturing, agriculture, forestry, transportation and other related industries since last year to prepare for the projects and products to be launched into the external market this year. Especially considering that after the establishment of the South China Sea Trade Alliance, the number of customer targets

There will be differences between member states and non-member states, and accordingly the types, grades, and quantities of goods supplied will also be biased towards member states. The Ministry of Commerce hopes to attract more countries to join this maritime cooperation through differences in treatment.

In the trade alliance led by Han, speed up the promotion of the trade alliance framework system in the Far East.

The ports, shipping, shipbuilding and other departments under the Ministry of Shipping are also preparing to promote their business to the outside world. In particular, orders from shipyards have always been one of the largest sources of foreign trade revenue for the Haihan Industrial System. Only the Shengli Port Shipyard,

Last year, more than 40 civilian ships were delivered to external customers, with a total displacement of nearly 10,000 tons. It is not a big problem to break this record this year, but the upper limit will depend on the results of the negotiations during this celebration.

In addition to the combat ships currently sold by Haihan in limited quantities to some military allies, the Ministry of Shipping has also prepared improved cargo and passenger ships this time, which are better than the previous export models in terms of loading capacity, sailing speed and seaworthiness.

Improvement to meet the increasing trade volume in the South China Sea region's demand for maritime transport capacity and transshipment efficiency. Moreover, these ships customized from Haihan's affiliated shipyards will berth at Haihan's ports for supply in the future because of their standardized

The hull structure receives more convenient and faster repair and maintenance services.

"The goal we are striving for this time is to double the total number of orders for civilian ships compared with the previous year." Yue Zhiyun said excitedly, stood up and pointed to the dock on the seaside and said: "We prepared the 3,000-ton dry ship last year.

The dock will come in handy this year."

In fact, when Haihan started building the Majestic-class battleship four years ago, the dock he used was already meeting the 3,000-ton standard. However, this dock is not just a hole dug on the beach and then it is done. There are various related supporting facilities.

Equipment and infrastructure are also very important. During the construction of the Majesty-class warship, the supporting facilities were basically updated according to actual needs. It was not until a large dry dock was vacated last year that the shipyard began to transform it so that it could adapt to the construction.

Technical requirements for 3,000-ton ships.

The displacement of the previous Majestic class was less than 2,000 tons. If the tonnage is to be increased by half at once, there is not much problem in theory. The Ministry of Shipping has already designed a corresponding construction plan, but there will still be many problems in actual operation.

If it appears, experienced shipwrights like Zhang Tiangui will be needed to deal with it.

Although Zhang Tiangui had long known that the Ministry of Shipping had plans to build larger ships, he still couldn't hide his excitement when he heard Yue Zhiyun announced a relatively clear time. Out of caution, he asked: "Chief, what are the plans for this year?"

Warship or civilian ship?”

Yue Zhiyun turned around and smiled and said: "It depends on the decision of the executive committee. Personally, I advocate getting into civilian ships. A 3,000-ton cargo ship can be used as a whole fleet of cargo ships."

transportation capacity.”

At present, Haihan's maritime shipping mainly relies on the Fu Ship, Guangzhou Ship and the exploration-class civilian version of the sailboat it purchased in the early years. The maximum load capacity of these ships is only one or two hundred tons, and the size of the cabins is limited to a certain extent.

It limits the types of cargo that can be carried, and the speed of loading and unloading cargo is also obviously limited by the size of the ship's hatch. If the size of the cargo ship is enlarged to three thousand tons, then many of the previous problems will be solved, whether it is bulk cargo or standard containers

Loading and unloading can be completed faster. As for the carrying capacity, it will easily exceed the thousand-ton mark, which is indeed equivalent to the carrying capacity of an entire fleet.

Yue Zhiyun and Sun Changmi have even joined forces with the Ministry of Industry to propose to the Executive Committee that all coal ships currently plying between Annan Black Tu Port and Qiongxi Changhua Port should be replaced by larger ships, in order to improve the efficiency of coal transfer between the two places.

efficiency to meet the growing demand for coal as the scale of steel production in Changhua Industrial Zone expands. Of course, given the high cost and long construction period of large cargo ships, the replacement of this type of transportation cannot be completed in the short term.

. According to their calculations, even if the Victory Port Shipyard can complete the transformation project to expand production capacity this year, it will be the limit to be able to build one or two large ships of about 3,000 tons a year. As for the future of this production capacity

Whether it should be used to improve transportation capacity or to use it to storm troops depends on how the executive committee weighs the pros and cons.

Compared with the Shipping Department, which is currently focused on shipbuilding, the Commerce Department, which is responsible for coordinating and arranging the international trade negotiations, is much busier. After Schneider returned from Ambrosia Island, he hardly stopped to rest, and only

He could sleep for about four hours. In the end, some old buddies from the executive committee saw his hard work and were afraid that he would suddenly die from exhaustion. Tao Donglai, Ning Qi, Gu Kai and others also helped him take over some of the affairs, so that he could concentrate on perfection.

The details of the trade agreement.

Being able to create an international trade organization with Haihan as the core and leading has been a long-standing goal and desire for Schneider. In fact, he has had such a seemingly impossible goal in his mind since before time travel.

The idea of ​​realizing it. The various efforts he has made in the field of business and trade in the past few years after time travel are more or less paving the way to achieve this goal. As Haihan's strength continues to increase, this goal has changed from the original

It is gradually becoming clear that it is out of reach. After the multi-country consultation on Ambon Island, Schneider knew that 90% of his wishes had been realized. The only thing left to do was to improve the existing institutions and systems.

And use the rules of the game to earn greater profits for Haihan itself.

Schneider's painstaking efforts may not be fully understood by his naturalized employees. For them, the purpose of work is either to earn a living to support their families, or to gain promotion to a higher position and honor their ancestors. As for pursuing a certain ideal,

They don't understand goals such as realizing personal values. Even Yu Xiaobao, a senior naturalized citizen who has been in the Haihan system for six or seven years, still doesn't quite understand the leaders giving up what they describe.

The originally very good living conditions in my motherland were the reason why I came to the remote and remote area of ​​Sanya to expand my territory.

Yu Xiaobao is currently in charge of the organizational work of the Haihan Youth League in Sanya. The executive committee attaches great importance to this politically charged social organization and even makes it one of the thresholds for the appointment of naturalized personnel. Since 1631

, if you want to be a young naturalized citizen with a full-time official position in the Haihan system, a necessary condition is to join the Haihan Youth League. Especially for promotions in the military, the time for officers under thirty years old to join the league is

It is a rigid assessment indicator. If you have not been a member of the Youth League before, you will not be qualified for promotion. On the other hand, if you hold certain positions within the league, you will have an additional qualification in the competition for positions.

Starting advantage.

It is not difficult to join the youth league. As long as naturalized citizens between the ages of sixteen and thirty with no criminal history can apply, but if you want to make a name for yourself in the youth league, it will be even more difficult than in the youth league.

Promotion in the professional field not only requires an extremely clean personal background, but also has extremely high requirements for loyalty and political awareness.

The purpose of establishing this organization is naturally to cultivate a younger generation loyal to Haihan and the Executive Committee. Although Haihan's rise is unparalleled in the world, there is always a hidden danger that makes the rulers uneasy, and that is the rise of Haihan.

The composition of the naturalized people in the country is very complex. Such a group composed of hundreds of thousands of people from different countries and races is difficult to relate to the concept of national cohesion.

The real reason why most of the naturalized people took refuge in Haihan was not because of the advanced social system here, but because they could seek food during the famine years, or they surrendered to Haihan's military conquest and were unable to resist. Although these people took refuge in Haihan,

After the Han Dynasty, they gained a stable living environment, and their personal interests were gradually tied to the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty as a whole. However, in the eyes of the rulers, the foundation of rule formed by this simple interest relationship was actually extremely unstable.

Under the current situation of smooth development, the problem may not be too obvious yet, but if there is a strong hostile force or internal turmoil in the future, then this complex population structure is very likely to make people fall apart in a short period of time. Society is falling apart, and the Haihan Youth League is one of the preventive measures taken by the rulers. As long as the younger generation of naturalized citizens can have a relatively high sense of belonging to the Haihan group, or the future national system, sense and identity, and social stability can also be significantly enhanced.

Yu Xiaobao has also recently been seconded to the Ministry of Commerce to help. Fortunately, he learned a lot from Schneider when he worked in the Guangdong Office in the early years, so there is no big obstacle to taking over the business operation work now. After returning home from work that day, Yu Dashan asked him about his recent work status: "I heard that you were recently transferred to the Ministry of Commerce by Mr. Shi. Could it be that the higher-ups want to rearrange your work?"

Yu Xiaobao shook his head and said: "I don't know, my child. Mr. Shi only mentioned temporary transfers, but did not mention future arrangements."

Yu Dashan warned: "If the superiors want to transfer your position, they will probably ask for your opinion in advance. Just stick to the Youth League."

Yu Xiaobao wondered: "Why did Dad say this?"

"It's a shame that you are still a senior cadre and your consciousness is so low!" Yu Dashan reprimanded, "This Ministry of Commerce is all about business. Although Mr. Shi is very capable, he is limited to business and cannot participate in the administration. In the future, you If you want to be promoted to a higher position and be ranked in the court, then you have to take the right path! This Youth League is personally responsible for Mr. Tao and Chief Ning, and you are also considered a leader among the young cadres, and you will definitely be promoted as such in the future. Typical, with great career prospects, isn’t it better than a businessman?”

Yu Xiaobao was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. His father's simple and practical values ​​​​can't be said to be right or wrong, but if Mr. Shi knew this view, he would definitely criticize it. As for his own development direction in the future, As for which route, Yu Xiaobao has no clear plan yet.

"Dad, don't forget, Mr. Shi is also one of the members of the executive committee, and his authority is no less than that of several other chiefs. Besides, how Haihan develops depends largely on Mr. Shi's ability. How much development funding has been provided to Haihan?" Yu Xiaobao expressed his opinion tactfully: "The work done by the Ministry of Commerce is not as simple as you think. It is not just doing business, but formulating plans for doing business. and rules. The only people who actually implement them are the commercial firms and related institutions affiliated with the Ministry of Commerce. This time, taking the opportunity of the founding ceremony to invite guests from various countries to Sanya to watch the ceremony, one of the purposes is to take this opportunity to unify trade standards and rules. Dad, just imagine, if the grades and price standards of silk, porcelain, tea, spices, and these commodities are all set by Haihan in the future, how big the oil and water will be? How much influence will Haihan have on international trade? ?”

Although Yu Dashan could not give enough reasons to refute his son's views, he still insisted on his own opinions: "What you said makes sense, but what I said is not unreasonable, right?"

Yu Xiaobao simply gave an example and said: "The combined functions of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs are like the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty. In your mind, Dad, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs is not considered a high official.
