1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 2679
Fu Guoqing went on to say: "If the government wants to go to Yingdao to arrest the Japanese, it will have to make a big move. If the local Japanese are unwilling to cooperate, they may have to mobilize the army. Moreover, there are many shops opened by Japanese in Yingdao. , taking local actions will inevitably affect the trade between the two countries, this is definitely not a situation that Wen Zhihong wants to see."

Shi Chengwu nodded slightly and said: "So no matter from the perspective of self-interest or the objective environment, the local government lacks the motivation to thoroughly investigate the relevant cases. So besides the Japanese, is there any other resistance?"

Fu Guoqing said: "In addition to the Japanese, there are many North Korean businessmen who also compete with us. Therefore, some security cases are actually caused by the grievances formed by the competition in the market."

After Haihan Capital entered the Port of Busan, of course, it not only sells various cheap industrial products to the North Korean market, but also buys Korean native products and sells them to other countries.

Haihan Capital has mature operating experience in how to occupy the market and monopolize the industry. At first, it raised the purchase price of various local products, relied on its strong capital to snatch the supply of local competitors, and spent two or three years to eliminate these competitors. All down.

After forming a monopoly trend, they began to formulate new industry standards and adjust the purchase price.At this time, local suppliers have lost their bargaining power. Even if the price is lowered, they can only sell various agricultural and forestry products in their hands to Haihan people at low prices according to the standards set by the Haihan commercial organization.

With such repeated operations, within a few years, the supply and marketing channels of most of the local products exported from Busan Port were controlled by Haihan Capital, and the North Korean businessmen who had lived a comfortable life had to find another way out, or just It can only be the next home for Haihan Commercial Organization.

And after Haihan has formed a monopoly on a certain industry, he can basically make money lying down without any effort. It is impossible for such a business model not to be hated by others.As for the local government's handling of this kind of public security dispute between the two countries, of course, it will not be too inclined to Haihan's side, and it is often muddled.

After hearing this, Tao Hongfang asked again: "It is said that the export industries at Busan Port are mainly textiles, food, wood, and aquatic products. What is the actual situation? These industries are under the control of our country?"

Fu Guoqing responded: "If you want to hear it, you can talk about it in detail below."

Tao Hongfang smiled and said, "Since everyone is here, of course we need to have a good understanding of the situation here."

Shi Chengwu estimated that this topic would not be finished for a while, so he called the adjutant in and asked him to prepare some hot tea and cakes.It is estimated that everyone was not in the mood to eat the welcome banquet just now, and it would be just right to make up for it at this time.

North Korea's mountainous and sea-facing terrain is not suitable for growing cotton crops. Therefore, before Haihan Capital entered the Busan area, there was no textile industry here. They were basically small private workshops with extremely small production capacity, and the materials were mainly hemp and wool.

Haihan Capital introduced the mulberry farming industry to Gyeongsang-do, and built a silk weaving factory in Busan, using the cheap labor here to produce silk.Later, textile factories producing primary industrial products such as sacks, ropes, and felts were built one after another. In just a few years, the level of the local textile industry has been greatly improved.

Since the local textile industry is dominated by Haihan in all aspects from production to sales, it is logical to use the industry standards formulated by Haihan. Shanghai Han's innate advantage.

The industrial model of food and aquatic products is also similar. What Haihan Capital brings is mainly the production capacity of deep processing of raw materials.The processing technology of canned food and dried seafood is not too complicated, and it will be put into production soon. It is not difficult to imitate, but with Haihan's production management experience, the cost can be controlled at an extremely low level, and almost It has monopolized the most lucrative overseas sales channel, so it is difficult for competitors of comparable strength to appear again.

The wood industry has more processing directions. In addition to common daily-use wood products, shipbuilding is also an industry with a high profit margin.Haihan has several privately operated shipyards in Busan Port. These shipyards are mainly engaged in the construction of civilian ships. Relying on the good environment of Busan Port and Haihan's advanced shipbuilding technology, the business of the shipyards is naturally very prosperous.

"Our country's level of industrial management and production technology is an advantage that other countries can hardly match. So far, as long as our country is involved in the industry, it can basically control the overall situation within a few years. In addition, businessmen cooperate with Haihan Bank in The continuous local promotion and use of banknotes issued by our country will help our country control these industries."

There was an unconcealable sense of pride in Fu Guoqing's tone, and it could be seen that he was very proud of Haihan's achievements in the Busan area.

Shi Chengwu said: "Since the businessmen of our country are developing very well here, why not go further and think more about security. Even if you can't afford the Golden Shield, you can organize your own security force. Presumably the local government should not dare to embarrass it? "

This time, Fu Guoqing was silent for a while before responding: "I have also thought about this method, but the opinions of all parties are different, coordination is not easy, and finally a consensus cannot be reached."

Shi Chengwu said: "You mean, Chinese businessmen in Busan still have objections to this method?"

Fu Guoqing nodded and said: "To organize security forces, you have to raise funds. At present, the main issue is the sharing of expenses. The industries of each family are large or small, close or far away, and they are in different environments. The foundation here is different. One, it's hard to come up with a cost-sharing standard that everyone agrees on."

What Fu Guoqing said was very realistic and could not be ignored.Businessmen are the most savvy group of people, and they have to calculate their accounts clearly in everything. If there is no cost allocation plan that can convince everyone, it will be really difficult to organize follow-up matters.It would be even more difficult to convince the public if the fees were imposed in the official name.

Fu Guoqing said: "Because the opinions could not be unified, some rich and powerful people went to hire Jindun's men and horses on their own, and they were no longer willing to consider organizing a unified security force. And the rest of the people who saw more money were unwilling to participate, which meant that they If you want to invest more, you will naturally retreat. In the past two years, I have held several talks with business people in the local area, but there are still too many differences on the terms of cooperation, and in the end they failed to reach an agreement.”

When everyone heard this, they also roughly understood why they failed to organize local civilian security forces. It seems that this road is indeed not easy to go through.
