Chapter 1375 Chapter 1376: Market exchange for technology
"What the Merlocks have come up with is still a bit behind the times! We must find a way to get the Merlocks to bring out the best technology."
Kira sat on a chair covered in leather and looked at several consultants who were also seated.
"I want to hear your opinions."
"These things are valuable, there is no doubt about it!"
A middle-aged man with short brown hair pondered for a moment and then said: "This is true for us, and even more so for the Merlocks. When they deal with us, they must seek certain interests, but as long as these interests are within a reasonable range,
, we can consider accepting it. After all, whether it is magical mechanical creations or heavy weapons, they are all good things, and commercial flow has always been an indispensable part of the Republic, but in the past we over-protected local products."
"Since His Majesty has decided to deal with the Merox Empire..."
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, he saw Kira's cold gaze and immediately realized his mistake and quickly changed his words.
"The chairman has also reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Emperor Aslan."
The middle-aged man said while looking around at the compatriots around him, "But what I want to remind is that when making transactions, the Merlocks often do not expose all their expected profit targets. After my experience in the past few years,
Understand that the Merlocks are better at doing business than the Maxims."
Char frowned slightly: "You mean, the Merlocks people want to make more than just money from us in these business plans?"
"It is obvious that these investment plans have the shadow of long-term planning."
Alyosha took the words and said: "They provide money, people and technology to open a factory on our land. Don't you think this routine is familiar? We didn't penetrate into the Asian subcontinent bit by bit like this before.
But then again, who would give such a big benefit without profit motivation? So we only need to judge one thing, whether these plans of the Merlocks are worth it to Maxim
.”
"As for my personal opinion... I have a lot of uneasiness about all projects involving resource development and engineering construction."
This was not the first day Kira and Alyosha had met. He heard the meaning of each other's words, touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "What do you mean..."
"The 'business cooperation' that the Merlox people want to establish has exceeded our expectations when we set out. We are only here to discuss establishing diplomacy and opening regular commercial channels, and use the products of the Merlox Empire to promote the progress of the republic's factories, and they want to
Obviously we want more. This part is not impossible to discuss, but I think we need to think clearly. For example, to build a factory, we must inject capital from the central enterprises of the Republic, and the shareholding ratio cannot be higher than 50%."
Kira frowned slightly, but soon his brows relaxed.
He looked at Alyosha in front of him and nodded slightly: "Then I'll do as you say! But we have to grind it out slowly, and we can't take out the bottom line all at once."
"The Meroxians are eyeing our huge market, while we are eyeing their magical mechanical technology and industrial products."
"The problem is that magic machinery and industrial products can be continuously produced from facilities and factories, but mineral resources will not continue to grow from the ground. Exchanging resources for industrial products contains huge risks and long-term losses.
."
Xiaya slowly understood, and said with a bad face: "If the Merlocks open their factories to the Republic again, they will even use our resources to make machines and sell them to us at a higher price, so it won't be a bad deal for us.
"
"Then what do you think?" Alyosha said: "Many of their investment plans are beneficial to the Republic from a certain perspective, but improper control will make the Republic a market in the back garden of the Merlocks. How can we
While assisting in building the factory, we must require the workers and technicians of the Melox Empire to be mainly from the Republic, and more than 60% of the purchased spare parts must be provided by the Republic."
Kira was enlightened and said: "In this way, the Republic can absorb the technologies of the Merox Empire as quickly as possible."
Alyosha said: "Yes, our move is called market exchange for technology. As for how much technology we can master and how much technology we can poach from the Merox Empire, we can only rely on our technicians."
"In general, the Merlocks are both sincere and cunning. They may sincerely want to create a more prosperous future, but in this future, they will be richer and more powerful than others, and in a sense
, which reflects that their diplomatic will is true and credible."
Xia Ya told the answer in everyone's mind.
"Reject all investment proposals that are fully controlled or highly controlled by Merox, and reject all projects involving basic industry, education, and resource development."
Kira's focus is still on technology. If it cannot obtain technical supplements and relies on the power of one country alone, and most of the experimental data and information are lost, the Republic will soon be left behind by the Eastern Empire and the United Magic Empire.
By that time, they will be the weakest.
"The Republic agrees to open regular commercial channels with the Merlox Empire, and agrees to station ambassadors and open people-to-people exchanges. The factory holding proposal is the biggest trump card in my hand. We can make appropriate concessions to certain necessary technologies."
"On the basis of such equality and sincerity, the Republic is willing to make friends with the Merox Empire, including joining their 'economic and trade zone'."
"The Merlocks will agree. The economic and trade zone is in the Andnus region on the common border between the Merlocks Empire and the Eurasian Federation. At this location, both the Magical United Empire and the Eastern Empire can borrow roads from the central plains.
Going there, it is no exaggeration to say that all the countries in the outer continent can enter this economic and trade zone. The Merlocks Empire will pay more attention to that 'trade and economic zone' than imagined. As long as the Republic is willing to join their trade and economic zone, many things will happen.
It’s all easy to discuss.”
Kira finally finished his long words. He took a breath and said, "This is the whole plan. What suggestions do you have?"
Everyone listened solemnly to every word Kira said.
After Kira finished speaking, Alyosha finally took a long breath: "Sure enough, Her Highness Natasha was right what she said back then. Among all students, Kira is the only one who can perfectly inherit her mantle."
"The Merlocks are more cunning than we thought!" one advisor couldn't help but mutter.
