Chapter 821 Economic Cooperation

Commodus was stunned when he heard this: "It seems that His Excellency the Mayor really knows a lot about the political ecology of our country. ”

"I don't know much about it, but I've heard about it." Zhong Yi smiled, "After all, at this time the year before last, I was still studying in West Point on the west bank of the Hudson River. ”

"I forgot that Your Excellency Mayor graduated from West Point." Commodus's expression began to become serious, and he continued, "Your Excellency, you are right, there is indeed a force in the country that opposes isolationism, including the three arms manufacturers you listed. ”

After a pause, Commodus said again: "However, the force you are looking forward to is not strong enough to change the national policy of the United States!" ”

Before World War II, the power of domestic arms dealers in the United States was not very strong.

What really made the domestic arms dealers in the United States strong was precisely the Second World War.

But then again, since the United States does not ban guns, arms dealers still have some strength.

Zhong Yi said: "But I also did not seek to change the established national policy of the United States, but only wanted to promote the establishment of an economic cooperation demonstration industrial zone in Yinjiang between China and Miri, which is just an economic cooperation." ”

"Just an economic cooperation?" "But what's the use of that?" ”

"yes, what's the use of that?" Richmore also chimed in, "If it is only pure economic cooperation without attaching any political conditions, there must be no deterrent effect on Japan." ”

Joseph McJose said: "In this case, the Japanese army will still come to bomb." ”

"But what if these companies are all Chinese enterprises?" Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Or more than half of the enterprises are rice enterprises, and the Japanese army still dares to bomb them?" ”

"Are they all rice enterprises?" Commodus finally understood what Zhong Yi meant, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's a good idea!" Richmore said excitedly, "I don't dare to say about other Chinese companies, but arms companies like Springfield, Colt and Winchester will definitely be happy to come to Yinjiang to set up factories!" ”

Fools understand this truth, at present, China is at war with Japan, the demand for arms is endless, and the arms companies of the United States will undoubtedly make a lot of money when they come to Yinjiang to build factories for production!

"I'm afraid this won't work." Zhong Yi shook his head and said regretfully, "If you really introduce arms companies like Springfield, Calder and Winchester into Yinjiang, it will be too stimulating for the Japanese government, and the Japanese army will definitely come to bomb desperately, and the identity of the rice company cannot be fully guaranteed." ”

To tell the truth, why doesn't Zhong Yi want to introduce arms manufacturers from the United States?

If the arms manufacturers of the United States can be introduced into Yinjiang to build a branch factory, it will not only be the benefits of taxes, employment, and high consumption of expatriate personnel of arms companies, but also the equipment that these arms manufacturers can provide to the national army, which can give China the greatest help in the war of resistance.

However, this is not possible.

If we really want to work hard in this direction, the Japanese government will definitely do its best to put pressure on the United States, and with the political ecology in the United States at this time, this proposal is not possible, but will definitely be vetoed by the Congress!

Therefore, we can only retreat to the next best thing and introduce chemical, pharmaceutical, textile and other light industry manufacturers, which can greatly alleviate the current shortage of materials in China without irritating the Japanese government too much.

Kang Maode said with deep understanding: "If it is a rice factory that is not directly related to the military, I believe that the Japanese army will still have some scruples and dare not send planes to bomb, but the problem is that these manufacturers who have nothing to do with the military may have the will to come to Yinjiang to set up factories, but the willingness is not too strong, and it is basically impossible to expect them to promote this cooperation." ”

Richmore and MacJoseph also shrugged their shoulders when they heard this, and this is what makes people most annoyed.

The arms manufacturers of the United States have a strong desire to set up factories in Yinjiang, but they cannot be allowed to come.

They hope that the light industry manufacturers of the United States will come, but they do not have too strong will.

"It's actually easy to do." Zhong Yi patted his chair and said, "You can let several arms dealers in the United States first merge and acquire some poorly managed civilian goods manufacturing enterprises, and then move to Yinjiang to set up factories, so that they have a channel to make profits, and they will have the will and motivation to lobby the Congress, right?" ”

Commodus shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, with all due respect, this motivation may not be enough. ”

"Of course it's more than that." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "We can also reach an agreement with several arms manufacturers in private, when the Mi government gets out of isolationism, or when Yinjiang establishes a complete air defense system, they will have the right to build factories in Yinjiang first, and they will be exempt from taxes for the first ten years!" ”

After a pause, he added, "In addition, I have two patents to give them!" ”

"And patents?" Commodus was surprised, "What patent?" Can we listen to it? ”

"I'm afraid not." Zhong Yi shook his head with a smile, and said, "When Mr. Minister gets in touch with the arms manufacturers in the United States, I will give them the special gift, believe me, they will definitely like my two patents!" And these two patents will also bring them a steady stream of profits! ”

"If that's the case, maybe give it a try," Commodus said. ”

At this time, Richmore said: "Your Excellency Mayor, you just mentioned the tax exemption, is it only for factories in the United States, or for all foreign-funded factories?" ”

"Tax exemptions are limited to manufacturing plants owned by a few arms dealers in the United States." Zhong Yi paused, and then continued, "But other foreign-funded enterprises can also enjoy tax incentives when they come to Yinjiang, and they will be directly exempt from tax in the first three years after they are completed and put into operation, and they only need to pay half of the business tax within ten years, and even if necessary, Yinjiang Development Bank can provide them with loans for factory relocation." ”

"If that's the case, I might be able to get a couple of British factories," Richmore said. ”

Joseph also said: "I can also find a few French factories to come over and expand our new industrial park in Yinjiang." ”

"In that case, I'm here waiting for the good news of the ministers." After Zhong Yi finished speaking, he stood up, shook hands with the three Commodus respectively, and said to Richmore, "In addition, please trouble Minister Richmore to pay off 110,000 pounds sterling, it is not a matter for the ninety-seven members of the British Royal Navy to be locked up like this." ”

"Ahem!" Li Qimo immediately coughed violently, he was just thinking about whether he could rely on this money, or convert this money into the principal of Yinjiang Development Bank, but now it seems that it is not possible, Zhong Yi has no such plan at all, Zhong Yi is really not ordinary shrewd! Too shrewd!
