In fact, all kinds of measures are only temporary drafts, but it is another matter to really negotiate them.

For the Hao family, what is really useful is the first one, that is, the so-called free trade, which exempts and exempts the tax of one qiē checkpoint.

At least within the Lang Son Wealth Management Bureau, almost everyone is most looking forward to this article.

Because it seems that this article is very fair, the state of Johor exempts the tax of one qiē checkpoint to Cochin and Dingnan, and at the same time, Cochin and Dingnan also reduce all taxes to Johor, but in fact, this is not the case at all.

The chaebol can be roughly divided into two kinds, one is the production chaebol, they provide funds, put into production, according to the amount of demand, and strive to produce various commodities, and in the process of production, in order to increase efficiency and reduce loss, it is essential to work the production process and production scale, in the current Langshan carriage behavior, the same production carriage, at the beginning, people buy carriages, just for transportation, but gradually, began to have greater requirements for comfort, But don't underestimate such a little bit of comfort, many things only reduce a little bump on the surface, but the effort that needs to be made, but it is by no means easy, there is no accumulation of time, you can't afford to hire those top skilled craftsmen, and it is impossible to compete in the Lang Son market.

And now, Lang Son's car dealership, only three left, these three car dealers of the carriage almost sold half of the Ming Dynasty and the entire West, and gradually the word of mouth was built, the dignitaries and nobles, the gold giants are proud to have such a carriage, it is because of the best-selling carriage, so that the car dealership is very profitable. The greater the profit, the more willing they are to work the craftsmen and are willing to give them better treatment. The best craftsmen in the world are almost all collected by these three major car dealers, and others who want to engage in this industry basically do not have any competitiveness, and the result is that the more car dealers earn, the greater the gap with later competitors, so that it is beyond reach.

The same is largely true for other industries. Lang Son is basically a productive chaebol, and now their industries have begun to penetrate into places such as Dingnan and Cochin, using their capital, skills, and scale advantages. Mass production of various commodities, at the same time, in the production process, constantly improve the process, and constantly expand the scale.

The same Lang Son cloth. in the production process. The continuous efficiency is several times that of other places, and the quality is not much better, but the price is much lower than that of other fabrics, and the reason for this is nothing more than this. Taking advantage of this advantage, these production chaebols can be said to have made a lot of money, and continue to invest to maintain their existing advantages.

Because once you choose to be conservative. You may be surpassed by other peers in Lang Son, once you lag behind in terms of skill, scale and capital investment. In the end, it will inevitably be eliminated. For the production chaebols, behind them, hanging is an invisible whip, sailing against the current, and if they do not advance, they will retreat.

However, in addition to the production of chaebols, there is also a kind of chaebol, they are not engaged in production, but use their own connections and other advantages to sell the goods of the production chaebol, such as Johor, Sumatra, Luzon and other places of Chinese businessmen, most of them are such businessmen, they take advantage of the rise of Lang Son, but also make a lot of money, but the way they make money, but on the one hand, they have their own contacts in Luzon, Johor and other places, at the same time, they have the same customs and language as the chaebol in Lang Son, and what flows is also the blood of the Han people, Taking advantage of this advantage, they sold Lang Son cloth, furniture, ironware, ceramics, and tea in various countries, earning price differences, thus accumulating a large number of chaebols, which can be called comprador chaebols.

The comprador chaebol is characterized by the fact that they have no incentive to engage in production at all, on the one hand, in their country, there is no production environment, and at the same time, to compete with the production chaebol, then it is necessary to recruit skilled craftsmen and invest countless funds, and obviously, these funds, almost astronomical, not only that, they are still difficult to compete with the chaebols in Lang Son, if you produce Johor cloth, the craftsmanship is better than yours, the reputation is stronger than yours, and at the same time, because of the large-scale production, and it sells well, producing tens of millions of horses every yearIf you want to mix in, not only must you prepare a large amount of money, but also be prepared to lose money for ten years, and in this world, no one is willing to do a loss-making business, and the comprador money comes more easily and comfortably, only need to maintain a better relationship, you can make a profit from it, why bother to suffer from it?

These compradors, who transport a large number of goods into their own country, and then buy local resources and transport them to the workshops in Lang Son and Cochin, in fact, if you say that the chaebols, they will not look down on them, it is better to say that they are vassals of the production chaebol, because they have no bargaining power, and their sales are all dependent on the production chaebol, and the production chaebol can appoint you to act as an agent for his goods, and can ship to you, but if necessary, you can let another person replace you at any time, if the compradors make a loss in trading. It will not have an impact on the production chaebol, but once there is a problem with the production chaebol, the first to be unlucky is the comprador.

The problem in Johor is here, if the Johor Bahru Patriarchal Bureau wants to compete with Lang Son and cultivate its own production workshop, the only way is to impose high tariffs on Lang Son's goods, although the local Johor cloth is of poor quality and high cost, and if Lang Son cloth is levied double the tax, then the price of Lang Son cloth will inevitably remain high, and the local cloth in Johor can survive at a low price, as long as it is cultivated slowly, with the passage of time, after ten or twenty years, it will naturally be able to catch up with the level of Lang Son cloth.

However, once Johor does not increase tariffs, but does the opposite, then the price of Lang Son cloth in the Johor market will be even cheaper, on the surface, although the Johor people who buy Lang Son cloth are profitable in the short term, but in the long run, it is a kind of damage to Johor, which not only puts the initiative in the hands of Lang Son, but has to look up to Lang Son's snort, so that the production chaebol of Lang Son can make a lot of money by this, and form a monopoly market in Johor, and greatly hit the local production chaebol. Today, Johor's production is already backward, if this kind of thing is allowed to happen again, then in the long run, when they react, they have already found that all walks of life in Lang Son have long been out of the dust, and it is difficult to catch up, and there is almost no choice but to obediently become a vassal and become a dumping base for Lang Son goods and a production place for raw materials.

The producers in Lang Son understood this truth, so when the covenant was formulated, the manufacturers began to lobby the government, and the Hao family, as representing the interests of the chaebol in Lang Son, was naturally not polite.

This covenant is very likely to determine the national fortunes of Johor in a hundred years, or even three hundred years later, but for Johor, it did not really appreciate this crisis, and a large number of envoys sent by the Johor Commissariat arrived, more than half of them were Chinese, and everyone seemed extremely intimate.

The envoys of Johor accepted almost all the conditions, and there was no mud and water at all.

This result is really incredible, because today, when Lang Son has achieved this achievement, in fact, discerning people understand that the mutual tariff exemption between the two sides is, in a sense, willing to let Johor automatically become a vassal of Lang Son and completely become an economic colony of Lang Son.

But after thinking about it carefully, some people have an epiphany, Lang Son is full of a group of production chaebols, and the interests of these chaebols are endlessly expanding the demand market, they have great prospects for the future, have long-term plans, and are even extremely restless, and even fanning the flames everywhere, infiltrating everywhere, lest the world will not be chaotic, in fact, what they want is nothing more than to expand the market, and in this world, where there is war to conquer the market is more comfortable.

However, the vast majority of the financial situation in Johor is filled with comprador chaebols, and the main business of these people is to provide raw materials for Lang Son and bring all kinds of goods from Lang Son to Johor for sale, for them, if there is freedom of trade, it is in their best interest to reduce the tariff to a minimum, and as for the increase in tariffs, it hinders their interests.

It is also the political situation, and it is also the businessmen who influence the political situation, but the direction of interests is actually opposite, but the effect is completely different, which is also a little ridiculous.

As for the other terms, such as Lang Son will station a military horse in the name of protecting New Johor, and will recruit a model battalion controlled by the Hao family in Johor, this matter is also surprisingly consistent, and has been approved by the envoys, they are not worried about the annexation of Lang Son, but what they are really worried about is the royal party that they suppressed, they know in their hearts that if there is no Hao family behind their backs, with their strength, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the royal party, in order to prevent the restoration of the royal party, the only way is to completely tie up with the Hao familyEven the envoys have made a statement, saying that after the vote of the Johor Governor, a decree was passed that the Johor Counsellor is determined to respect Hao Zheng as the regent of Johor in view of the Hao family's contribution to the new Johor, and the Hao family has made a decision to participate in the new Johor government affairs for generations, and the Hao family can even appoint personnel to be the permanent senior counsellor of the Johor Bahru Counsellor and participate in the military and political affairs of the new Johor.

Naturally, this regent is more symbolic, but with the influence of the Hao family on New Johor in the future, it may not be deserved. (To be continued......)
