[Chapter 71 The Comprador Class]

South of the Central Sea, Aghanim South Continent, Campbell Merchant Republic.

Zhang Lian, Huaxia’s ambassador to Campbell, put a diplomatic note into his briefcase, looked at the streetscape of Campbell outside the embassy window, and murmured at the wharf drivers who were carrying the goods, “It’s really a A place where there is vitality.”

Then he opened the door, left the office, and called the driver: “Go to Campbell Governor’s Mansion.”

“Okay, Ambassador Zhang.”

Zhang Lian and most of the dispatched to different places

Just like the diplomats in the world, the title on the surface is ambassador to so-and-so, but in fact, another layer of identity is the intelligence department of the Time and Space Administration.

Since China traveled to the flat world three years ago and was attacked by the combined fleet, the combined fleet of the southern exercise immediately threw itself into the counterattack against the countries of the Central Sea.

With the destruction of some of the fleets of the Campbell Merchant Republic in the west, the Campbell Merchant Republic signed a peace agreement with China under the Fifth Fleet’s approach to the harbor.

The signing of the peace agreement also stipulated that Campbell would open the three cities of Snyway, Yanage and Lanmi to China as trading ports.

With the influx of Chinese commodities into the Campbell Commercial Republic, the local capitalists in Campbell were hit one after another. The market share of commodities was squeezed by Chinese commodities, and each handicraft workshop had no advantage in front of industrial factories.

In the six months after the arrival of Huaxia, a wave of bankruptcy of handicraft workshops appeared in Campbell.

This trend has continued for more than two years, and until now, those Campbell’s handicraft workshops are less than three-fifths of what they were three years ago.

Those surviving handicraft workshop owners, they are still struggling to support them with meager profits.

Most of the small factories are bankrupt. They have no technology and efficiency, and the products they produce have no competitive advantage in the face of China’s industrialized products.

They are not like local medium and large-scale factories, which have certain capital, technology, contacts and customers as the backend.

They are not like Huaxia’s mechanized factories, which can improve the quality of products to the highest, the quantity to the highest, and the price to the lowest.

Desperate, they can only declare bankruptcy, and then join other medium and large handicraft workshops as skilled workers.

Of course, there are also bright-headed guys who choose to be “middlemen”, that is, compradors.

They gambled all the money they had earned before starting the workshop, rented a boat, brought local specialties, and went to the northwest of the Central Sea, the newly emerging maritime neighbor.

There, I sold Campbell’s specialty products that were very interesting to Chinese people, and made my first pot of gold.

Then he took the thing called soft coin and bought local products in Huaxia.

In the eyes of these compradors, among similar products, Huaxia products are far superior to Campbell’s local products in terms of quality and price.

So they bought a lot of goods from Huaxia and shipped them back to Campbell to sell.

The bosses of these small workshops make a big effort like this, and the bicycles really become motorcycles.

They took Huaxia’s products and used them as middlemen to earn the price difference. They quickly recovered the money from the small workshops that had been hit by Huaxia’s products and went bankrupt, and even more.

These compradors have also tasted the sweetness. Without the concept of industrialization, they have no idea that they are slowly destroying Campbell’s handicraft workshops and destroying Campbell’s ” Industrialization” process.

But the profits made by such behavior are too much, and these compradors are simply reluctant to let go.

If a comprador who has just entered the business has assets worth 10,000 soft coins,

he may use 500 soft coins to hire a team of workers and form a trade caravan.

Take out another 8,000 soft, and according to the current price, you may buy 1,000 bags of fruits specializing in the western countries of the Great Plains in Campbell.

Then take the remaining 1000 soft to charter a cargo ship to China, and the remaining 500 soft as a reserve.

After arriving in Huaxia, they can sell these 1,000 bags of fruit and earn more than 15,000 soft coins or even more soft coins.

Its profit is as high as 50%.

With 15,000 soft coins, buy more than 14,000 soft goods from Huaxia.

Then from the center sea northwest, return to Campbell domestic.

If you sell these more than 14,000 soft goods backhand, you can get at least 50,000 soft income.

Such huge profits are simply not comparable to the original small workshops.

Although Chinese goods are only allowed to land at the three seaports of Snyway, Yanage and Lanmi, what follows is the merchants on the land who will hire horses and carts, or use their own fleets to buy these goods in the port. Down, loaded into the car, and sent to every city within Campbell.

Although they are not second-order dealers, they also earn quite a lot of profits as third-rank dealers.

The commercial republic of Campbell has a very strong commercial atmosphere, and the infrastructure construction in the republic is almost one of the few aborigines in the Aghanim continent.

The road extending in all directions, even if the eastern part of Campbell is blocked by the Western Mountains, but the winding road also crosses the mountains and reaches the western part of the Great Plains.

The merchants on the land took these Chinese goods and sold them all the way from Campbell to the countries in the western part of the Great Plains, and even further afield.

The merchants naturally heard the sound of large and large gold coin transactions, “crashing”, which was very pleasant.

The copper didn’t stink at all, but rather fragrant.

Whether it is a comprador on the sea or a comprador on land, in the past three years, a new class, the comprador class, has emerged in Campbell.

They are different from the small and medium capitalists in the local small and medium workshops, and they are also different from the big capitalists in the large workshops. They do not have their own workshops or factories.

All they need is a warehouse, a transfer station, a ship, or a fleet of carriages, and that’s enough.

They don’t create value, they just earn the difference.

It is precisely because of the rise of these comprador classes that a new round of class contradictions broke out in Campbell, the contradictions between local workshop capitalists and comprador capitalists.

Of course, capitalists of other classes have not participated in the game between factory capitalists and comprador capitalists for the time being.

The comprador class is an emerging class. Although it is growing rapidly, its power is still too small for the traditional factory capitalists.

Even financial capitalists who benefited from the rise of comprador capitalists did not immediately plunge into the muddy waters.

For financial capitalists, they must approach this matter in a “neutral” capacity, which is the so-called wait-and-see.

The choice of the financial capitalists was correct. The workshop capitalists took advantage of the Holy See’s crusade against China and began to attack the comprador capitalists.

First, he forced the Governor of the Republic, Maine, to increase the domestic Chinese commodity transaction tax, in order to collect high taxes to curb the circulation of Chinese commodities in the country.

Even if the compradors sell a commodity and make a 100% profit, the 95% profit must be handed over.

What the factory capitalists want is that while the comprador capitalists hand over a large amount of income, they will not starve to death. With a 5% profit, even if they work for nothing.

Of course, the Governor’s Office of Campbell is also happy to see the success. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com A large amount of money has been charged into the treasury in the form of transaction tax. Governor En finally smiled.

Of course, the counterattack of the factory capitalists was not over yet, and soon after, Governor Mann was forced to raise the overall tariff at the trade ports.

Not only can it promote the sale of Chinese goods after they arrive in Campbell, the price will inevitably rise due to high tariffs, and the price will be raised from the source, forcing ordinary people in Campbell to be unable to buy.

At the same time, the adjustment of the overall tariffs at Qualcomm’s commercial ports will make the goods originally sold by the Great Plains countries to the three cities of Snyway, Yanaghe, and Lami to be transferred to such as Campbell or other seaport cities for sale.

Imposing a high transaction tax, raising tariffs, and attacking with both fists destroyed the arrogance of the emerging comprador class in one fell swoop.

At the same time, China’s commodities have also been curbed to a certain extent.

Governor Mann was looking at the tax report submitted below, drinking a bottle of Huaxia Laojiao with a red face: “Mia, the bosses of those workshops did a good job.”

Recalling that three years ago, the ship in the Huaxia Fifth Fleet was like a The humiliating peace deal signed on an island-sized steel ship irritated Maine.

Drinking a little wine alone: “It’s finally a game back now.”

An official knocked on the door and walked in: “Governor, Ambassador Zhang is here.”

“Huh? He’s here?

” Jiao, Zhang Lian’s arrival is probably about tariffs. Mann has already made a speech and said with a smile: “Let’s arrange it and see what Ambassador Zhang has plans.”
