At this point in the discussion, many people also feel that the Sulu State does not want to make the agreement public, and there are indeed concerns about people, in this case, there is a saying that a gentleman does not care about himself, as long as it does not affect the substance, then let him go.

At this time, many young people still feel that as long as Sulu opens the market to themselves, nothing else matters, and they also understand Sulu's concerns, isn't that reasonable? The reason why these kings can rule this country is that everyone knows very well, anyway, the source of power is not always based on the election of the people, right? In the final analysis, it still depends on two things: violence and the divine authority of the monarchy.

Therefore, it is necessary to instill a sense of sacredness and mystery in the common people, so everything about the nobles should remain mysterious, and by extension, maintaining face has become one of the most important things......

Therefore, any ruler who encounters major setbacks or is not so confident must have face in the end, even if he loses his heart!

Otherwise, the common people will think, it turns out that you are not some gods, immortals?

It turns out that you can't talk about any noble and wise martial arts, it turns out that you are also ordinary people?!

Since you are also ordinary people, why can you only eat and drink spicy food on stage?

Why do you want to reign forever and we will be slaves forever?

What kind of is the prince of Nima? So this country will be unstable......

You see, the so-called logical chain is so simple and clear!

So everyone understands why the king and the prime minister are reluctant to release the contents of these face-slapping agreements, and yes, this is indeed understandable.

Since that's the case, let's give people a face! Anyway, it has nothing to do with us if it is confidential or not, and it makes money with anger, and in the end, we can enjoy the guests and hosts, in fact, this is also very good.

After all, the coming day is long, anyway, we don't want to be deceived, and also, we should have a discount, don't owe us anything in business!

Speaking of this, at this time, most people finally nodded their heads, and they all said, then understand long live, doesn't it mean that the condition for not disclosing the content of the agreement is to guarantee a discount of five percent?

As long as there are really benefits, the content of the agreement will not be announced if it is not announced, anyway, we just need to be clear.

So everyone discussed to the end, and their views on these two issues were unexpectedly unified, and the vast majority of people actually said yes!

However, the result of this discussion was indeed very unexpected by Zhu Beiguo and Gu Jin, because usually looking at these young people, especially the young people in the Huotang Club, their sense of justice is often in a state of bursting, and as long as they listen to their remarks, they are simply ready to declare war on the old order of the world at any time, how can they easily give up their principles now?

However, Captain Gu and the others thought of it as soon as they thought about it, in addition to everyone being a little tired, there was also the most important point - what everyone is most worried about now is to go to the human market to buy girls, this Sulu country only thinks about monopoly trading, but it does not prohibit us from buying, and there are discounts, so why not?

On the afternoon of July 9, the traversers aboard the Pride and Nicole agreed that they would agree to Sulu's request not to sign the agreement publicly, and to agree to do business only with the Chamber of Commerce designated by Sulu, but at a discount of five percent below the market price.

As for how to ensure that we get preferential treatment, we must be arranged to visit the market, and we must be allowed to freely contact all the merchants in the market, so that we can really grasp the market situation.

Of course, the reason for doing this, everyone still has another tacit attempt: the so-called understanding of the market situation is an excuse, at least a secondary reason, everyone knows in their hearts, with Xue Laixiang here, we will not be deceived too much in terms of market prices, not to mention that this Sulu country has been beaten, and it is estimated that we will not dare to deceive us too much.

However, market research is still a must, for one simple reason: to make a name for yourself.

If we want the people of Sulu to accept us in the future, we must deepen contacts and exchanges, and we must not expect the government to correct our name, because it is beneficial to demonize us to rule them, so we must do this kind of thing ourselves, otherwise we will always be regarded as demons and monsters by the people of Sulu.

In the afternoon of the same day, Gu Jin instructed Xu Zhi to inform the Red Mansion of the situation here and the final opinion on the electricity report, and finally asked for the opinions of the family.

At half past six in the evening, the telegram from the Red Mansion came, and it happened to be Xu Zhi on duty in the communication room at this time, so he had to copy and receive the telegram while eating, and muttered in his mouth, Xiao Fei over there in the Red Mansion was too, what was the hurry? I was in a hurry to call back without eating dinner......

When Xu Zhi handed over the translated telegram to Gu Jin, the entire crew was still eating and chatting leisurely on the deck, so Gu Jin held the steamed bun in one hand and the newspaper in the other, and forgot the steamed bun in his mouth while reading, and grinned.

The people around didn't pay attention at first, but later found that Captain Gu was actually holding the telegram and fell into deep thought, so they gathered around to read the content of the telegram.

“…… Don't let others fool you and feel good about yourself there! A 5% discount seems like a lot, but it's actually a big fool, and a 30% discount is the bottom line! Otherwise, they will use the text of the open agreement, zero tariffs, or forced free procurement to blackmail the other party......"

The first sentence of the opening sentence of the message bewildered the onlookers.

The main writer of the message is Yu Hewei, the former CEO of the Internet Finance Company, and the participants are also the former bigwigs who have been up and down for half their lives, Ba Fengtian and Mr. Ba.

Each word of the second sentence of the telegram is separated by an exclamation point to indicate importance:

"Nope! Want! Forget! Finish! You! Guys! At! Use! True! Gold! White! Silver! Pick! Purchase! ”

Everyone still didn't understand when they read this, at this time, Captain Gu had already read the entire message, and when he saw that everyone was coming to watch, he handed the telegram to the person next to him and said:

"Let's talk about it......"

After saying that, he sat silently to the side.

So everyone hurried to watch it, and many people watched and read it out loud.

“…… The reason is simple, because the nobles of Sulu can make high profits by monopolizing foreign trade, and giving you a 5% discount on the purchase price is only a small concession.

Of course, this concession is also because of your fists, and there will be no such discount for others.

However, you must be well aware that the concessions given to us by the other party are far from enough compared to monopolizing the buying and selling of Australian goods and monopolizing the purchase from Australia!

According to the contents of the previous telegrams, the common people of Sulu could not use the hard currency of gold and silver for overseas trade, and even if they had gold and silver in their hands, they had to go to the designated trading houses to buy goods from outside.

Obviously, if the goods in the hands of ordinary people want to be sold overseas, they must also sell them through designated foreign trade firms.

In short, this is a foreign trade monopoly that deprives ordinary merchants of Sulu of the right to do business with foreigners on their own.

So you have to be clear-headed, keep your eyes open, that's the key!

According to your information, when these trading houses in Sulu have a monopoly on foreign trade, when they buy domestic goods, they pay the Sulu people copper coins instead of gold and silver - this is the root cause of cattiness!

Since they can buy goods from producers at a low price with copper coins, and then sell them to you in exchange for real money in your hands, however, they only need to mint some inferior copper coins to pay those producers.

For example, if you go to a trading house in Sulu and buy a barrel of tung oil, the price you pay is five taels of silver, but this is the foreign trade firm of Sulu that gets these five taels of silver, but the producer does not see the silver at all!

Because the domestic market does not allow the circulation of gold and silver, so the producer can only get copper coins, so if Sulu wants to export more tung oil to earn your real silver, it does not need to take the real gold and silver to the producer to buy, but just mint some copper coins to the producer.

If you still don't understand, let's put it bluntly, do you know how some countries in the Old World plundered the wealth of ordinary people? You just have to think about it, if you were to replace the minting of copper coins with the printing of your own banknotes, how would this be fundamentally different from the practice of this Sulu country?

Those countries in the old world don't even need to spend time to mint copper coins, they only need to start the printing press to print paper, you stupid forks, do you understand?! ”
