Chapter 39 Free Trade Zones

"This is naked betrayal!" Heinze slammed the "Lampari Weekly" on the table and shouted angrily.

Xu Yi squinted at the huge headline on the first page of "Lampari Weekly" and laughed.

"Why do you say that?"

"Do you still need to ask?" Heinze looked at Xu Yi in disbelief. "Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce supports the Lampari Kingdom so much, but the Lampari Kingdom now runs to cooperate with our enemy, the Sark Kingdom. Isn't this a betrayal? And this time they not only betrayed our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce , and betrayed tens of thousands of people of the Lampari Kingdom! The Sark Kingdom is the sworn enemy of the Lampari Kingdom, why should you cooperate with them at this time?"

Xu Yi smiled and shook his head lightly: "No, Heinze, your thinking is too narrow. There is no permanent enemy between countries, and it is not strange to cooperate occasionally. Besides, you didn't see clearly this line at all. What happened to the news? The Lampari Kingdom just opened up a free trade zone with the Sark Kingdom, which is far from real cooperation. And from what I know about the specific negotiation conditions between the two parties, in fact, the Lampari Kingdom The Pali Kingdom has taken advantage of it."

"Conditions?" Heinze looked at Xu Yi suspiciously, thought for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Hey, Xu Yi, do you know this matter well?"

"Of course." Xu Yi smiled and nodded. "Because I suggested this matter to Seweney, and even the concept of this free trade zone was proposed to her. Do you think I am clear?"

Heinze stared at Xu Yi dumbfounded, after a while. Then he said in a daze: "You mean... the cooperation with the Kingdom of Sark is what you meant at all?"

"It's not wrong for you to say that. It's just that Seweini thinks that the Kingdom of Lampari can indeed benefit a lot from it, so she agrees with me. Speaking of which, she can handle this matter in such a short period of time Cheng, is really capable.”

Heinze frowned and stared at Xu Yi for a while, then slowly shook his head.

"Xu Yi, although you often do things that I don't understand, but this time... it's really unreasonable? Don't talk about the hatred between the Sac Kingdom and the Lampari Kingdom, just talk about Sac The last time the kingdom united with Grand Duke Weilun to attack our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, we shouldn’t have any cooperation with the Kingdom of Sark.”

"I repeat. This is not a simple cooperation. If you really want to say it, this free trade zone is actually a place for our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom to plunder the wealth of the Sark Kingdom. Do you understand? ?” Xu Yi said.

Heinze shook his head: "I don't understand. This free trade zone is just a place where both parties openly do business. The Kingdom of Sark is not a fool. Why should we let us plunder their wealth casually?"

"Well... the situation is stronger than people, and this is not a problem that can be solved by being smart or not." Xu Yi shrugged and said with a relaxed expression. "Heinze. Think about it. In this free trade zone between the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Lampari, what kind of business is the easiest for both parties to close? Or let me put it more bluntly, do you think the Kingdom of Sark What commodity from the Lampari Kingdom is the most desired, and what does the Lampari Kingdom need from the Sark Kingdom?"

Heinze frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up.

"I see! The Kingdom of Sark must have a special need for magic machines. In the past, because the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Sark were enemies and blocked each other, the Kingdom of Sark could only buy some magic machines through smuggling. Now it is open In the free trade zone, those in the Kingdom of Sark who want to buy magic machines must not be able to wait."

"That's why. This free trade zone is actually used to dump magical machinery to the Kingdom of Sark. I'm sure that the people in the Kingdom of Sark are no different from the people in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Rulson. I have been longing for all kinds of magic machines for a long time. Now that the two sides have finally opened up the trade, there will definitely be a huge demand in the Kingdom of Sark." Xu Yi laughed.

"Well, it's the same as when Bangta City and several surrounding cities were very eager for the magic machines produced by our chamber of commerce." Heinze nodded, and then asked again: "But those people in the Sark Kingdom are not stupid, they must There will be restrictions on that.”

"This is the significance of opening this free trade zone." Xu Yi chuckled. "According to the agreement signed by the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Sark, in this free trade zone, any trade between the two countries is completely free, and neither side can make any restrictions on it. So even if the Kingdom of Sark No matter how you try to limit the influx of a large number of magical machines, there is no way."

"This is very strange. Why did the Kingdom of Sark agree to this condition?" Heinze asked in bewilderment.

"The reason is very simple. First, the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari and the army of the Kingdom of Sac fought many times and won all of them. The Kingdom of Sac is facing great pressure. Now the Kingdom of Lampari is suddenly willing to come and fight The Sac Kingdom has ceased fighting, and the two parties have done business fairly, of course the Sac Kingdom is wishing for it."

"Well... that's true."

"Second, in fact, the Kingdom of Sark has long been eager for all kinds of magical machines. Because of the blockade of the Kingdom of Lampari and the deliberate targeting of our chamber of commerce, the Kingdom of Sark has not been able to obtain related technologies in this area. Now that they can conduct free trade with the Lampari Kingdom, if they purchase a large number of magic machines from the Lampari Kingdom, they may be able to successfully figure out their own magic machines from them. Even...they can also directly buy from the Lampari Kingdom. It may be possible to buy related technologies in the Kingdom of Pali."

"This is impossible. The Kingdom of Lampari will definitely restrict the technology." Heinze shook his head. "Otherwise, if you teach the Kingdom of Sark to make its own magic machines, wouldn't it be a problem for tigers?"

Xu Yi shook his head lightly, thinking that although it was true to say so on the surface, Seweini was indeed prepared for this and made relevant restrictions.

However, under the temptation of profit, there will definitely be some technologies related to magic machinery in the Kingdom of Lampari that will flow into the Kingdom of Sark along with various magic machinery.

It is impossible to completely limit this point, so Xu Yi simply proposed to Seweini. Directly sell a small part of the production technology of magic machinery to the Kingdom of Sark.

Of course, this part of magic machine production technology is limited to household magic machines, and does not involve magic machine tools at all. It is even more impossible to touch the military magic machinery.

Although it is still possible for the Kingdom of Sark to master some technical information related to magic machinery, and even develop its own research and development on this basis, Xu Yi is not worried about it.

After all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has an absolute leading edge in the technology related to magic machinery, and its advantage is much stronger than other chambers of commerce. As long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has a good grasp of the technical information, it is impossible for the Kingdom of Sark to get involved.

And if it wasn't for the sweetness and hope given to the Sak Kingdom. They will not agree so easily to establish this free trade zone with the Kingdom of Lampari.

As for the Lampari Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, in addition to gaining huge profits by selling a large number of magic machines to the Sak Kingdom, according to the agreement signed by the two parties. The Kingdom of Sark must also open the export of mineral resources to the Kingdom of Lampari.

Even in the agreement signed between the Lampari Kingdom and the Sark Kingdom, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also obtained the mining rights of two mines in the Sark Kingdom near the Murto Mountains.

This is what Xu Yi values ​​most.

It is impossible to completely defeat and control the Sak Kingdom in a short period of time, so before that. In this way, the mineral resources urgently needed by various new flying chambers of commerce in the Sark Kingdom can be obtained. It is a very feasible way.

However, regarding these considerations, Xu Yi did not need to explain in detail to Heinze.

Since last year, because of his age and his own personality, Heinze has gradually become separated from the various specific affairs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Although he still holds the position of vice president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he actually no longer participates in any management and planning at all, and is basically in a semi-retired state.

This time he suddenly ran all the way from Bangta City to show his anger in front of Xu Yi. In addition to showing that he still has deep feelings for Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is actually because of another thing.

After chatting with Xu Yi about the issue of the free trade zone. Heinze fell silent suddenly, and glanced at Xu Yi, hesitant to speak.

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "What? We are old buddies, do you have anything to say in front of me? This chamber of commerce can be regarded as a joint effort between the two of us, so as long as it is related to the chamber of commerce, you You can say it without hesitation."

A look of embarrassment crossed Heinze's face.

"You knew already?"

Xu Yi shrugged: "We've known each other for so long, don't I know you? If it wasn't for Alex, you would be so awkward in front of me, as if you were embarrassed?"

Heinze smiled wryly and shook his head: "I'm really sorry. Alex did such a bastard thing before, and you still let him continue to work in the chamber of commerce. I'm already very sorry. Now... now ..."

"Okay, old man, you don't need to say anything, I understand." Xu Yi smiled and patted Heinze on the shoulder, turned around and took out a document from his desk, and handed it to Heinze. "Here, I've arranged everything. I think Alex will be satisfied."

Heinze took the document in astonishment and found that it was a job document.

Looking through it, the content is to appoint Alex as the captain of the second convoy of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet, mainly responsible for the cargo transportation business between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Luerxun Kingdom.

This is a position with good remuneration and equal rewards. Xu Yi arranged this position for Alex, and it can be said that Alex has been treated extremely preferentially.

Heinze closed the document, looked at Xu Yi excitedly, and was about to speak, but Xu Yi raised his hand to stop him.

"Okay, we don't need to say these polite words between us. Tell Alex to let him do a good job. As long as he performs well, I can consider letting him go to the branch of Kulaka City to take charge of some affairs in the future. As for the future , depends on his specific performance."

Heinze nodded again and again: "Okay! Okay! I will definitely teach this kid a lesson. If he dares to make any mistakes again, I will break his leg with my own hands!"

Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that in fact, the wrong things Alex did before were enough to send him to prison for a lifetime.

If it wasn't for Heinze's face, how could he have passed the past few years in peace and stability, and now there is still hope for a comeback? (To be continued..)
