Chapter 928 Trans-Mediterranean Trade Partnership Agreement

(PS: Make up for a change owed yesterday.) )

Seeing that Caesar was angry, Henry finally spoke.

"Caesar, maintaining the prosperity of trade in the Mediterranean is our common goal, and we can't destroy the overall situation because of your willfulness, please calm down."

Caesar gave Henry a hard look and spat, "Phew, shit-like big picture." ”

Seeing this, a cold light flashed in Henry's eyes, and he said lightly: "Since you insist on going your own way, then we can only unite our respective fleets and restrict the travel of the Roman fleet in the Mediterranean." ”

Caesar's move undoubtedly played into Henry's hands.

"You dare!"

Caesar was even angrier, and he was so angry that he slapped the case.

But looking at the Mediterranean lords on both sides, Caesar's heart was gradually sinking. Not to mention the small and medium-sized lords, it is obvious that only Henry is the first to look forward, and even Casillas did not refute Henry's proposal.

Thinking of this, Caesar's heart chilled.

"Conspiracy, it's all a conspiracy!" Caesar was horrified.

Henry and Casillas, the "sworn enemies", wanted to take this opportunity to contain the Roman fleet.

Although this gave the Gallic fleet the opportunity to continue to grow, it also won a valuable opportunity for the Spanish Armada to catch up with the Roman fleet once again.

Win-win!

In this big drama, the only one who is downcast is Caesar.

Caesar was so angry that he couldn't stay any longer in the face of the humiliation of the crowd, and left the scene angrily.

"You're waiting for me!"

Before leaving, Caesar left a cruel word.

Henry was calm, turned his head to look at Violet, and said with a smile: "The irrelevant personnel have already left, we can officially sign the business agreement, right?" ”

Violet just watched a big drama between the Mediterranean lords, and her heart was also fluctuating, these lords were really ruthless enough, and they didn't spit out bones when they ate people.

"Yes!" Violet restrained her mood, smiled, and charmed all beings.

"No matter how they fight, Great Xia's goal has been achieved!"

Thinking of the man who was thousands of miles away and was remotely controlling this negotiation behind the scenes, Violet looked at him and thought to himself: "Did he already anticipate all this?!" ”

"When did it start, that man's mind was already as deep as the sea."

Violet was inexplicably a little melancholy.

The next signing did not have any waves, except for an additional one: "The lord of the Mediterranean needs to unconditionally protect the safety of the Great Xia caravan in the Mediterranean, and once the caravan is damaged, the lord of the Mediterranean will bear it." ”

In order to sort out their responsibilities and prevent rip-offs, the lords of the Mediterranean need to deposit a risk deposit in advance every year in the Four Seas Money Bank, according to the volume of trade.

Once the Great Xia Caravan is damaged, Sihai Qian Zhuang will deduct it from the collateral according to the compensation clause in the Great Xia Caravan's marine insurance contract.

At Ouyang Shuo's suggestion and Meng Zhida's implementation, Sihai Qianzhuang's insurance business has long been on the right track.

In particular, marine insurance, the main type of insurance, is not only insured by the Daxia caravans, but also by caravans from other territories in China.

The next goal of Meng Zhida is to gradually expand the marine insurance business to the world with the help of the three offshore nodes of Xingzhou County, Somali Province and Moroccan Province.

For the calculation of the Great Xia, the lords of the Mediterranean are convinced. Fortunately, the risk collateral of the bank is deposited, and the bank pays interest according to the savings, otherwise it is really a big loss.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, in the presence of Queen Kalia, the Bactria Dynasty and the Mediterranean lords officially signed a commercial and trade agreement, the Trans-Mediterranean Trade Partnership Agreement.

The agreement mainly stipulates the following provisions.

First, the port.

All ports within the territory of the members of the agreement shall be open to other members, and no additional barriers to access shall be erected.

Second, tariffs.

Greatly reduce import and export tariffs among members and promote the development of ocean trade.

Third, investment.

Lower the entry threshold for investment, and allow member territorial chambers of commerce to enter the country for investment, without setting up additional obstacles.

There is no doubt that the Trans-Mediterranean Trade Partnership is very close to a real-life free trade agreement, and it will be a milestone event for the entire gaming world.

Through the signing of free trade agreements, we will remove tariff and non-tariff barriers to the vast majority of goods, remove market access restrictions for the vast majority of service sectors, and open up investment, so as to promote the free flow of goods, services, capital, technology, personnel, and other factors of production, so as to achieve complementary advantages and promote common development.

The benefits of free trade are clear.

First, by reducing transaction costs and circulation costs, trade liberalization and facilitation will be promoted, and ultimately the development of ocean trade.

With reduced costs and convenient transactions, more and more caravans will naturally be thrown into the wave of ocean adventures, setting off a new round of ocean trade boom.

Second, it is necessary to promote investment and optimize the global industrial structure and resource allocation.

The territories, especially between the East and the West, are complementing each other because of their different historical backgrounds, different technological trees, and different industries.

With all these benefits, it is no wonder that Caesar was angry at learning that he had been excluded from the system. The loss of this opportunity is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Caesars.

And in order to protect the interests of trade, Henry and others would never allow Caesar to make waves in the Mediterranean.

Among them, the calculation is really a hundred turns.

……

In the afternoon, Violet attended a global press conference with Henry, Casillas and other Mediterranean lords to announce the signing of the Trans-Mediterranean Trade Partnership Agreement.

As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked!

Some cheered, some lost; Some people are afraid, some people are uneasy.

No one expected that the Mediterranean and the Great Xia Dynasty, which had been constantly rubbing against each other, would eventually move towards cooperation, creating a new era of ocean trade in the game world.

Because it was too shocking, Caesar's unexpected exit was ignored and became a pitiful worm that no one paid attention to.

Some people predict that this is the most influential event in the world in the past four years of the game, and its significance and far-reaching impact even exceed the establishment of the world's first dynasty, the Great Xia Dynasty.

With the implementation of the Trans-Mediterranean Trade Partnership Agreement, the Bactria Dynasty will gradually transform from a trading power to a trading power, and expand its global hegemony in an unexpected way.

The deep meaning behind it is thought-provoking.

…………

Ouyang Shuo, who was thousands of miles away, got the news and smiled leisurely, I am afraid that no one in the world knows better than Ouyang Shuo what the meaning behind this move is.

After learning about the existence of the two behemoths of the [Silver Hand] and the Academic School, Ouyang Shuo has been thinking about a question, where should the Great Xia Dynasty go?

According to conventional means, Ouyang Shuo can rely on the advantages accumulated in the early stage of Great Xia, defeat the weak with the strong, bully the weak, and set off a war of annihilation and slaughter of cities on a global scale, bloodbathing the world and deterring the world.

But in that case, what will Great Xia get in the end?

As it expands, more and more enemies will gather around Great Xia, and these enemies will abandon their prejudices and unite more and more closely.

The continuous transformation and adjustment of [Yanhuang League] and the continuous internal integration are a clear proof.

At that time, Great Xia will be the enemy of the whole world, and will eventually go step by step towards the abyss of destruction.

The ancients had a saying: "A good rider falls from a horse, a good man drowns in water, a good drinker gets drunk with wine, and a good fighter dies with death." "Whoever conquers the world by sheer force will be the enemy of the whole world, and will eventually die by force.

Even said, Ouyang Shuo thought further.

Whether it is the [Silver Hand] or the Academy, I am afraid that they will not tolerate the existence of a behemoth that is completely above them.

If the Great Xia Dynasty is really reckless and makes enemies everywhere, in the game, maybe the [Silver Hand] and the Academic School will not be able to withstand the Great Xia, but when they reach the Hope Planet, they have the means.

Picking up the enemies of Great Xia to jointly resist Ouyang Shuo, for them who have played with power all their lives, it is not too simple, maybe the [Silver Hand] can also take this opportunity to "wash white".

Because they are "eliminating harm for the people", removing the "cancer" of Great Xia, and returning justice to the world.

As long as he thought of this, Ouyang Shuo shuddered.

The enemies that Ouyang Shuo has to face and the struggles he has to deal with are no longer limited to the game world. And this is also the trial that Ouyang Shuo must go through if he wants to truly go to the road of king.

Only in this way can we be reborn from the ashes.

……

Since it could not wash the world in blood, the Great Xia Dynasty had to find another way.

Through observation and thinking during this time, Ouyang Shuo's thinking gradually became clear.

What the Great Xia Dynasty wants to do is to expand its global hegemony at the minimum cost of destroying the country, continue to penetrate its influence around the world under the banner of "win-win cooperation", and pull more and more people onto the giant ship of Great Xia.

In this way, Great Xia will be unshakable.

The benefits of this do not end there, it also helps to subtly dismantle and divide the internal alliance of the Silver Hand.

Organizations that combine interests eventually parted ways because of interests, and Caesar was ruthlessly abandoned by Henry and others, which is a good proof.

Thinking that because of the intervention of the Great Xia Dynasty, Caesar is afraid that he will not be able to emerge on the European continent like in his previous life and become one of the three giants of Europe in the future.

The glow of this descendant of ancient Rome is getting dimmer and dimmer.

The signing of the Trans-Mediterranean Trade Partnership Agreement with the Mediterranean was an attempt by Ouyang Shuo to send a message to the global lords that Great Xia would bring not only war, but also profits.

The Great Xia Dynasty was not only a warmonger who would destroy the country and slaughter the city, but also a merchant, a helmsman and navigator who promoted global trade.

For the Great Xia Dynasty, the territories did not need to be wary and hostile.

Of course, if the Bactria dynasty wanted to truly establish hegemony on a global scale, it sometimes had to use thunderbolts, such as capturing Somalia and kicking Caesar out of the game.

These tools are very necessary.

Without the hegemony of military deterrence and the backing of military strength, it is just a rootless piece after all.
