The two neighboring countries have deep roots. Even if there are only people-to-people exchanges, as long as the governments of both sides do not deliberately prohibit them, they will soon become one. In fact, this is the situation. Although the federal government has
We have been working hard to increase export trade to Europe and the United States, but there are still some federal businessmen who like to do business in mainland China. Most of them are old-school businessmen who went to Southeast Asia in the early days.
Due to their age and habits, they are not willing to learn foreign languages, let alone learn Western culture and customs. This makes them not very interested in trading with Westerners, but they have to do business, so they follow
In my first place of origin, I formed several chambers of commerce and began to get in touch with businessmen from my hometown in mainland China, thus gradually entering the market in mainland China.
Relying on the rich domestic commodities and flexible credit support of the Federation, these small chambers of commerce soon became big businessmen in many cities on the southern coast of China. They transported various goods from the Federation and used their fellow citizens and merchants in these cities to
The network is engaged in the wholesale business of various federal commodities, from grain to tractors.
From sewing needles to rails, from toothpaste to kerosene, from watches to cars, they sell whatever you need. Some brave people even went to mainland China to set up processing plants and take advantage of local human resources.
, lowering the price of the product again in order to seize a larger market.
If any political party or government wants to maintain stability, it must get the support of businessmen. Military spending and government spending all require money, and this money cannot be grown by farming alone, but must rely on local economic prosperity.
Only by increasing taxes, and these businessmen are the seeds that can promote economic prosperity.
The Chinese, or Chinese people, will never forget one thing no matter where they go, and that is favor. If a businessman or a small chamber of commerce wants to do business smoothly in mainland China, the first thing he must do is not to consider sales.
The problem is not how to reduce costs, but how to find local
Get a backer with a big enough background and powerful power. Otherwise, if you are a businessman from other places, let alone opening a shop to sell goods, even if you find a warehouse to store things, it may not be safe. A backer with a good background and powerful power will be able to help you in this situation.
In the era of warlords' melee, there is no one else to choose from. There are only warlords, big and small.
After the victory of the Second Northern Expedition, China, which was generally unified, was in urgent need of construction and economic recovery. These chambers of commerce became popular in the eyes of the government. Whether it was importing goods or setting up joint ventures, these South China Sea merchants were inseparable.
.Such a huge country
The materials and goods needed for reconstruction are not just a little bit. These small chambers of commerce can only make up for the omissions at the private level. In order to obtain greater profits and occupy more markets, these chambers of commerce in the South China Sea Federation began to start from the federation.
The country has found a solution.
To say that the richest person in the federation is definitely Liu Fu, followed by the Federal Bank. However, these two sources of funds are not easily accessible to small businessmen. The rest are private banks and large-scale banks in the federation.
private enterprises, but these institutions are not interested in investing in mainland China
They all have a cautious attitude. After all, the war there has just ended. Who knows whether there will be another war? Although in peacetime, capital can run rampant, but when capital is in troubled times, especially in wartime, then
It's just a big fat piece of meat, anyone can take a bite of it without spitting out the bones.
Compared with those small chambers of commerce, these large consortiums do not pursue anything new, special, or fast when operating, but follow the principles of reasonableness and stability. Therefore, they are not very optimistic about the financing and borrowing of these small trading companies, so
Those small chambers of commerce that often do business with the mainland are in trouble. On the one hand, they have broad market prospects, but on the other hand, they are short of cash and have no money.
Doing business is a matter of your own free will. Although the federal government is also willing to gradually shift the export market to Asia, you can't issue an executive order to require private consortiums to invest in mainland China. In that case, who will lose if you lose? Forget it.
Federal government? And large enterprises under the control of the federal government are generally related to national defense, scientific research, and education.
, medical and military-related, such as naval shipyards, federal aircraft manufacturing plants and large petrochemical and mining enterprises. The products of these enterprises basically meet the domestic needs of the federation and are not exported to Europe, the United States and other countries, and will not be affected by any economic crisis.
impact, because they are all state-owned enterprises and are not originally for profit.
As for investing in the mainland, the federal government can't even provide preferential policies, it can only give verbal encouragement. As for the Commonwealth Bank, it can't provide any loans to those small and medium-sized enterprises, because the Commonwealth Bank is the central bank and it does not have these businesses. At this time,
We still have to use diplomacy and commercial means to solve this problem. In diplomacy, the country will come forward to create a better environment for the investment of these small and medium-sized enterprises, while commercial means will have to rely on Liu Fu and the large companies he controls.
First, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came forward and extended an olive branch to the then Nationalist Government: the South China Sea Federation would return the Taiwan Island that had been ceded to Japan by the Qing government.
Speaking of the Taiwan Island, it can be regarded as a confusing matter. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1898, the island was ceded to Japan by the Qing government as part of the war compensation. However, before the Japanese government came to take it over, the people who were on the island at that time
Liu Fu raised the banner of independence and announced that the people of Taiwan would not accept the terms of cession between the Qing government and the Japanese government, and Taiwan became independent.
As a result, our government sent fleets to Taiwan three times with the intention of taking it over, but all failed. Later, Liu Fu took advantage of the Russo-Russian War to eliminate the main force of our navy in one fell swoop. Since then, although our government has never recognized Taiwan,
The independence of the island, but in fact, Taiwan is already in an independent state because the Qing government has signed a cession treaty and the Japanese government is unable to accept it.
This situation lasted until the establishment of the South China Sea Federation. With the mediation of the US government at that time, the South China Sea Federation was finally recognized internationally, and Taiwan Island was naturally classified as the territory of the South China Sea Federation. However, Liu Fu always believed that Taiwan Island should be returned to the South China Sea Federation.
To the mainland, because this island is too close to the mainland, even if the federal government has occupied it for a long time, it is internationally recognized as belonging to the South China Sea Federation. However, once mainland China becomes a unified country, it will definitely think that this island will cause trouble to both sides.
unhappy.
Therefore, Liu Fu had made preparations to return the island of Taiwan many years ago. First, with his insistence, the South China Sea Federation redefined the capital, and then began to immigrate from the island. So far, there are less than 500,000 residents on the island.
The people are basically local ethnic minorities, and most of the factories and equipment on the island have been relocated to other places. Currently, only two military ports remain on the island, Hualien and Keelung.
Now Japan has been defeated and occupied by the Federation, and Taiwan, as the forefront of the Federation's eastern defense line, has lost its greatest role. Liu Fu plans to take advantage of the honeymoon period of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries to further strengthen the relationship between the two countries.
The last insurance policy is to be the first to propose the return of Taiwan Island.
Regarding the proposal of the South China Sea Federation, the Republic of China government was both happy and confused. What is happy is that the country has just been reunified and has received such great news. No matter who is in power, it is a great achievement to be able to take back the country's homeland. Can you not be happy?
.What is puzzling is why the South China Sea Federation wants to take Taiwan Island
What about returning it to China? At present, the international community has recognized the specific ownership of Taiwan Island, and our government has also been defeated by the federal government. It will definitely not jump out to talk about whether the ownership of this island is reasonable. Under this situation,
Basically no country would choose to give away its land to other countries for free.
But now that the South China Sea Federation has been proposed, the Nationalist Government has to respond. After negotiation between the two parties, the South China Sea Federation will conduct a friendly consultation with the Republic of China government in Keelung Port, Taiwan, to finally determine the future of Taiwan Island. This is also the intention of the Nationalist Government.
It's a low-profile gesture. After all, Taiwan is still a federal territory. (To be continued...)
