Chapter 1003: Founding Celebration (3)
Although the style of these congratulatory messages published in the "Haihan Times" is very official, under the careful taste of the old fox Fan Dimen, he can indeed find some information from them that no one notices. In addition to the proximity between the countries and the Han Dynasty, which can be glimpsed in the congratulatory message, Van Dimen also noticed that there were also differences in the newspaper space occupied by the various overseas colonies.
For example, the Guangdong office and the Fujian office, which have deep pockets, each occupy half of the page, which is much larger than the page of many small countries, and several ports in Annam are correspondingly much more subtle. Fan Dimen believes that this can be regarded as a side reflection of the political status and economic situation of overseas colonies in the Haihan Kingdom, and it also shows that the colonies operated by Haihan in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty should be in much better condition than several areas along the coastline of the Indochina Peninsula. And this status quo also reflects the difference in the scale of trade between Haihan and Daming and Annan, and the resources and markets that Daming can provide to Haihan are obviously better than Annan.
In addition to these official congratulatory messages, various congratulatory messages from the people also occupied a large number of pages in the newspaper, and these seemingly advertisement-like words also aroused Van Diemen's interest.
Some of these non-governmental business organizations Fan Dimen had heard of, such as the famous Qiongzhou United Development Company, Guangdong Business Alliance, Fujian Maritime Association, Nanhai Chamber of Commerce, and so on. These commercial organizations have jurisdiction over countless commercial banks, car dealers, ship dealers, dart shops and upstream production units, which are basically the integration of production, supply and marketing, and have strong transnational trade capabilities, not only strong economic strength, but also many channels, there is almost nothing they can't do in the people, which can be regarded as one of the biggest help for Haihan to carry out transnational trade.
However, these so-called non-governmental commercial organizations are actually involved in the form of shareholdings, such as Qiong Lianfa, a large commercial organization that cooperated closely with Haihan in the early days, and in fact, the Haihan Ministry of Commerce is the main commander behind the scenes. In fact, some of the business measures of these commercial organizations can also be understood as the embodiment of the will of Haihan officials in international trade. The performance of these organizations during the celebration of the founding of the Haihan can also partly reflect their strength and their position in the Haihan trade system.
In addition to these business organizations, there are also some congratulatory contents published by powerful and wealthy businessmen in their personal names, and needless to say, these people are naturally vested interests attached to Haihan. However, Fan Dimen's research on Haihan's international relations is not thorough, so his understanding of these people is also very limited, and he only has some impressions of the names of Li Jifeng, Zhan Gui and others.
This kind of advertisement published in the newspaper is just a lively thing for ordinary people, but a professional like Van Diemen can naturally see some ways from it. Van Dimen had secretly decided that all the newspapers published by Haihan must be ordered and sent back to Batavia regularly in the future as a reference for the company's planning.
During Van Diemen's expedition to the island with Ningqi, Su Keyi also published an official congratulatory letter in the name of the Dutch East India Company. Although the layout is not as good as others, it can at least be regarded as showing its face in Haihan's official media. Fan Dimen saw the palm-sized page of the newspaper and asked, "How much did this cost us?"
"That's about 1,500 guilders. Su Keyi reported a number that surprised Van Dimen.
"It's so expensive, these damn merchants, it's all blackmail!" Van Dimen cried out dissatisfied.
The exchange rate between the guilder silver coin and the Haihan dollar is about three to one, which is 500 Haihan yuan, and this price is enough to buy a complete set of Sanya blue and white porcelain sanitary ware on the market. If you were in Batavia, the money would buy about fifteen to twenty healthy young men, or fifty sacks full of Nanyang spices. But here, it can only be exchanged for a palm-sized page on the "Haihan Times", which seems to be too cost-effective.
However, Van Dimen quickly calmed down, he had never seen this kind of media propaganda power before, but now that he has been on the Haihan territory for so long, he naturally realizes the importance of its role.
