Chapter 1163 Business Alliance
The business alliance is to build an alternative protector.
With the economy as the mainstay, Li De decided to promote such business alliances to strengthen cooperation in a mutually beneficial way.
Compared with ordinary business transactions, they have to be traded at market prices. If countries within the commercial alliance system can get discounts when trading.
The cotton sold can also increase its value, provided that the quantity sold must reach a certain scale.
There is also a requirement that the countries unite to form a caravan with 10,000 people for commercial transportation, and the income obtained will be distributed according to a certain support ratio.
With such a caravan, they can expand their commercial channels, and trading in the Western Regions in exchange for goods will result in twice the result with half the effort.
Li De really wanted to open up a market west of the Western Regions, but he couldn't do a business for a year to take office. Such communication is not cost-effective.
The farther business road will achieve its purpose by shipping later.
Bind the interests of the countries, and after they make money, they can develop their power and prevent tribes such as Turks and Xueyantuo.
After Li De had this idea, he immediately found several lieutenants to discuss, and Wei Li and others were all present to discuss.
Upgrading from commercial cooperation to using commercial cooperation to formulating economic strategies.
They all knew the situation of the countries that the national strength was not very good. If it weren't for the natural environment for growing cotton, they wouldn't be the turn of their turn.
In the conference room of the city guard's office, the final decision on matters about the Western Regions was being made, and everyone agreed with Li De's mention and also proposed specific implementation details.
The meeting lasted for a long time. The affairs of the countries in the Western Regions were not trivial matters. Due to distance, many details need to be paid attention to.
For this reason, Wei Li decided to personally promote the establishment of a Youzhou commercial alliance in the Western Regions countries to consolidate the interests and also invest in the cotton field project.
If you want to gain benefits, you must invest costs to promote development. Li De asked Weili to visit the countries in the Western Regions to build a project that can benefit in the long term.
Cotton is too important to them, and it is impossible for the final acquirer of the project they vigorously develop will be someone else.
Tang Guo wanted to pick up ready-made ones, but there was no such good thing.
The Youzhou caravan visited the Western Regions again. The adventurers received not much of the goods they carried this time, mainly to discuss cooperation, not mainly to transport goods, and hired adventurers because they were more familiar with the road.
Wei Li handled the official duties in one week and took his chamber of commerce team to the Western Regions.
The caravan of the Tang Kingdom had just returned from the Western Regions. The purchase of cotton made the kings of the Western Regions realize that cotton would bring a lot of wealth.
Even the kings of several countries wanted to start a war on this and seize more land for planting white flowers. The kings of various countries all had their own plans.
But they are destined to not get what they want.
After Weili arrived at the Western Regions, he chose a country with a relatively good environment and decided to place the commercial alliance's resident in Jingjue Country.
The king of Jingjue Kingdom was very happy and decided to be the first to join the commercial alliance. For this reason, Wei Li also promised to give Jingjue Kingdom more share of benefits.
After that, Jingjue Kingdom began to invite the kings of the various countries and gathered Jingjue Kingdom to discuss the business alliance.
Today, Jingjue's country is extremely clean and hygienic. The king issued an order to welcome missions from all countries, so the welcome specifications are very high.
Weili brought not only the projects that distributed benefits with the kings of the countries, but also needed to build a palace of commercial alliances.
That's right, it's a palace-level project, where the craftsmen and labor hired will be publicly employed by the people of various countries.
It is a good thing for the people to get a reward every day.
If the Jingjue Kingdom hadn’t had so many craftsmen, they would have really wanted to take on all this project, and the envoys from the various countries gathered in Jingjue.
After seeing all the people in charge, Wei Li spoke directly about their own interests.
"Youzhou will establish a chamber of commerce in the Western Regions in the form of a commercial alliance. The condition for joining is to establish deeper cooperation based on commercial cooperation between the countries and Youzhou."
"After the commercial alliance is completed, it will undertake commercial cooperation projects with the countries. Take the cotton field project as an example. Youzhou will make a large investment to increase the scale of the cotton field. This part of the investment is not direct investment but to invest in the construction of cotton projects in the countries."
The first idea of the messengers from all countries after hearing this was that someone invested in expanding cotton fields for them to have such good things.
However, what they know about Youzhou should be true.
The investment cooperation method proposed by Weili is actually a lending model, and as long as there is a cotton field, you can repay it.
Therefore, Weili directly proposed that the countries should pay off the investment in batches based on several years, which definitely seems to be a good thing for the countries.
But there are not conditions without conditions. For example, if you have sold cotton grown in various countries, Youzhou will enjoy the only purchasing rights, and the purchasing rights are not limited to merchants in Youzhou.
That is to say, any merchant in Youzhou can make purchases and the value is settled according to market prices.
The only requirement is that it cannot be sold to forces or countries other than Youzhou. If the sale is carried out, the second transaction must be carried out after the first transaction.
It is equivalent to selling cotton from various countries to others, they need to purchase first according to the purchase value. It is not enough to calculate that they have planted it, and they must pay for it. As for the second transaction, they will be allowed to buy it, but the priority purchase right is still from Youzhou.
It is not certain whether cotton can be left at that time. According to the good needs of the people of Youzhou, 90% of them will be left.
Youzhou, as an investor, has conditions. Next, it depends on whether the envoys from all countries agree. If they do not agree, there will be no funding. It is so realistic. No need to mention the subsequent things, and you can leave early.
When the envoys from all countries made a decision, they left some time for them to discuss, and they would not miss the opportunity.
Wei Li was responsible for the commercial affairs of Youzhou Chamber of Commerce and Chengshoufu. He had too many experiences in this scene. He used appropriate means to create time limits to make decisions immediately.
Jingjue Kingdom was the first to stand up to support it, and there was the first one, and then Loulan Kingdom just joined.
The messengers of the thirty-six kingdoms finally decided to join.
The meeting continued after Wei Li confirmed.
"In order to ensure that the interests of the commercial alliance in the Western Regions are not lost, the countries need to send troops to form a caravan with 10,000 people, which is responsible for the transportation of goods on the Western Regions trade routes. The benefits generated will be settled according to the distribution ratio of each country, and at the same time, the allocation requirements need to be met..."
Wei Li spent a long time explaining the caravan. The caravan with a scale of ten thousand people mainly focuses on the interests of various countries and needs to maintain the status and commercial convenience of the commercial alliance among the countries in the Western Regions.
