Chapter 1591: Beauty

"No, no, we absolutely cannot agree to this trade agreement. Once the opening is opened, it will not be blocked later. This is like a flood, and it will wash away our economic situation. This kind of thing has happened once, isn't it Are we going to make another mistake?"

New York, Staten Island, Fraternity Headquarters Building.

There are bursts of distorted sound coming from the high-power radio station in David Lawrence's office. There are various difficulties in long-distance radio transmission. The sound from Mexico City always sounds awkward after a distance of thousands of kilometers. .

It was Chanrad who was beside Angie who was anxiously denying on the radio. This economist was expounding how much harm the open and unrestricted trade would bring to society.

Before the Great Cataclysm, David Lawrence had also heard about the impact of florists' commodities on American society. But at that time, as a middle-class man with limited income, he actually had a good impression of flower planting products-who wouldn't like to buy good-quality products for a small amount of money?

But at present, David Lawrence, as a regional leader, has more things to consider. He also agrees with what Chanrad said about the harm of cheap products hitting the market, but he has to consider the current plight of insufficient production in his own factories.

During the trade with the Aurora Legion, the Brotherhood of New York rebuilt some light industries. These enterprises with low investment and quick returns brought many jobs and a large amount of tax revenue, which was very helpful for stabilizing the society.

But now North America lacks too many things.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the subway in New York. Built more than a hundred years ago, it looked dilapidated fifty years ago, and the government and the media began to consider updating and repairing it. But it couldn't be repaired until the catastrophe, let alone now.

New York's airport sucks, New York's streets are narrow, and New York's public facilities need too much investment. If urban construction is not an urgent need, what about power supply? What about water supply? What about medical device supply? There are so many places to spend money.

No matter where Zhou Qingfeng got cheap goods from, David Lawrence couldn't refuse this kind of trade anyway. He needs too many things, even if he knows it is a glass of poisoned wine, he will drink it now.

Facing Chanrad's persuasion on the radio, His Excellency Lawrence looked up at Herbert who was waiting for consultation in his office. The latter is responsible for the business of the New York Brotherhood and has the most say in this matter. "What is your opinion, Herbert?"

Herbert was a little embarrassed….

David Lawrence occupies several states surrounding New York, and the economic conditions are considered good. In fact, the places occupied by the other branches of the Brotherhood of Steel are not very good, and they face more problems. Everyone can barely eat enough now, but the quality of life is still very poor.

For example, the New York Brotherhood is currently doing its best to restore the power supply, so if there is electricity, it will definitely be consumed. What to consume? Household appliances, at least there must be a lamp to provide lighting.

But now the price of a light tube on the black market is extremely high, because a light tube seems inconspicuous, but behind it is also supported by an industrial chain. Producing a lamp requires the cooperation of glass, chemical industry, metallurgy, machinery manufacturing and many other industries.

The demand for similar products is extremely strong, let alone North America now, even North America before the cataclysm needs to rely on imports to obtain these ordinary living materials.

The deindustrialization of Great America has been going on for many years, and it was not able to rebuild when the economic conditions were good, let alone now.

And the Aurora Legion wants to export these daily necessities in exchange for industrial equipment and products scattered across North America, and even raw materials such as oil. This deal looks like a good deal.

That's right, Zhou Qingfeng not only issued an export list, but also a demand list. Some things are surprising, and one of the most special is oil. It is said that after the Aurora Legion takes control of Mexico, there should be no shortage of oil, but he still wants to open up the acquisition-as much as he wants.

That alone could split the Brotherhood of Steel apart,

Herbert knew that the Freemasons entrenched in the northwest would definitely agree to cooperate with the Aurora Legion, even if David Lawrence refused, it would not help. Because the Freemasons are so poor that they control many oil fields in Canada.

"Aurora Legion only asks for a two-year tariff-free policy. I think this proposal is actually very reasonable." Herbert said what seemed to be the key point. In fact, he knew very well that no one could refuse such a good deed, especially since the Aurora Legion also offered another big killer to open up the market - agency rights.

When Herbert went to Merida last time, Zhou Qingfeng also bluntly said 'I don't like to see him'. But last night he received another telegram, and the legion commander called him a 'dear friend'.

For this kind of cheeky and shameless villain, Herbert also hated his teeth. But he was very interested in the bargaining chip offered in the telegram——Zhou Qingfeng threw away the steel sales agency rights of the New York Brotherhood as a dog bone, which was a big deal.

It took hardly much calculation for Herbert to see how much this would gain him. With this proxy in hand, he even wished that the steel industry in North America would not develop, wished that the tax exemption policy would continue, and wished that any trade barriers would be removed.

In this way, you can always earn excess returns.

Back then, florists had a special word to describe this kind of person—the bourgeois comprador who destroyed the national industry of the country. During the period of the Republic of China, there were especially many such people. Duke Kaishen relied on these people for his position back then, and his unlucky fate was also caused by these people.

Herbert also couldn't resist this kind of wooing. He knew that if he didn't agree, others would naturally agree, and he had no choice. There are too many opportunists in the Brotherhood, such a big piece of fat will definitely be eaten by someone.

Regarding Herbert's statement, David Lawrence nodded slightly. He also felt that the two-year tax exemption was only good for a large number of cheap goods, which would be very beneficial to the development of the strength of the New York Brotherhood.

However, Chanrad still objected loudly on the radio, "Two years? Will we still formulate policies to restrict the inflow of goods from the Aurora Legion in two years? If we don't develop our own industry now, we will regret it two years later." .”

Now David Lawrence persuaded Chandra in turn, "After two years, we will develop, so naturally we won't need so many products from the Aurora Legion. Naturally, we can raise tariffs to protect the survival of our business."

"No, it's impossible." Chandra was about to die of anger, "Mr. Lawrence, your understanding of the bureaucratic system is still too superficial. I bet it doesn't take two years, this kind of trade will build huge benefits in one year group, even now it may have taken shape.

This interest group will control a large amount of funds, control the responsible relationship network, and form an alliance driven by interests. They will inevitably take away your power, and you will have no chance to resist at that time, and you will lose everything. "

David Lawrence's face darkened when he said this.

Herbert on the side suddenly said: "I think Mr. Chandra's words are a bit exaggerated. Our current group was founded by you, Mr. Lawrence, and you have complete control over it. The most important thing is that you still have control over it. How about the military, how can any group challenge you?"

These words made David Lawrence's face turn cloudy again, and he said confidently: "I am still very sure about my army. Victor Hugo's suggestion can be seriously considered and let him earn some money." Is it good, this is not impossible."

"No, no, you are too stupid, you will regret it." Chandra was still struggling on the radio, "You will become sinners of America, you will destroy this country. I beg you, don't mess up." come!"

At the end, Chandra was already crying, but David Lawrence, who had made a decision, ignored Chandra's nonsense, and Herbert smiled calmly.
