Konoha conquers the strongest Lei Wu

Chapter 572
Although the Third Hokage refused, his attitude was not tough. In other words, if Honglei's eloquence was good enough, he could still persuade the Third Hokage to invest some funds.

Of course, Hong Lei is not very keen on this matter. Anyway, he has money, and the railway he laid in the Land of Fire is also for his own development.

However, he can't just hand over his bottom line so easily. For example, if an item priced at 1 yuan is finally negotiated for 7000 yuan after an hour of hard bargaining, then the buyer's There will be a sense of accomplishment in my heart, and I feel that my bargaining ability is still good.

But if the other party asks for [-] yuan, and you ask whether you can sell it for [-] yuan, the other party will give it to you.

So……

Nine out of ten buyers will wonder whether this thing is fake, or whether the other party has some ulterior motives.

So in this regard, even though Honglei really wanted to lay the railway for the Land of Fire at his own expense, he couldn't make it obvious.

"In this case..." Hong Lei pretended to be thinking for a while, and then said, "The seafood products in the Kingdom of Waves are too time-limited, and if there is no stable channel for a large amount of grain and ore, There is no benefit at all..."

Honglei raised his head to look at the third Hokage, and said, "Master Hokage, can you see if this works? The funds for laying the railway will all be paid by us Avalon, but relatively, I hope that in the next ten years Uchiba’s tariffs can give us a certain degree of relief.”

The foreign trade of goods needs to pay tariffs. The function of this tariff is actually to protect the corresponding industries in one's own country.

For example, the Land of Waves, the land of the Land of Waves is not suitable for food production, but this does not mean that there are no farmers in the Land of Waves. In fact, there are still a large number of farmers growing various crops in the Land of Waves. The yield is not high because of poor land.

If the output does not increase, the price will naturally be too high if the demand does not decrease.

However, unlike the land of waves, the land of the land of fire is extremely fertile, and the price of rice of the same weight in the land of fire may be several times lower. If the land of waves does not set tariffs, then the rice in the land of fire will be He will monopolize the market of Bo no Country with very low prices. After all, ordinary people don't care about anything else. The most important thing is to keep yourself full and not starve to death.

But in this way, there is no room for high-priced local grains to survive. The market is cruel, and it will naturally eliminate those things that are abandoned by the people.

The common people have eaten low-priced food, but this is not a good thing, because it not only means that the local farmers will be destroyed, but also means that once Konoha stops the food delivery to the Kingdom of Waves, then the country will be lost. After the harvest of grains, the entire country of Bo will fall into a situation where there is no food to eat, followed by starvation, famine, and riots, and the foundation of Avalon will naturally not be able to exist.

So the existence of tariffs is the effect. Things worth only one yuan need to pay ten yuan in tariffs. In this case, if a businessman wants to make money, he must sell it for 12 yuan. Foreign goods have no price advantage. You can compete fairly with local products, which will not only keep your own local industry, and will not hand over your lifeline to others, but will also bring a lot of tariff benefits to the village.

So Honglei asked the third generation to give him some tariff relief, which is just asking for money in disguise.

However, because this is an "installment payment" and it is paid with the extra money earned in the future, this method makes the three generations of Hokage not have much resistance.

Of course, ten years is too long, they will not agree, and the amount of reduction or exemption will not be too high, and the third Hokage cannot allow Avalon to impact Konoha's own industry.

However, isn't this just a negotiation? One party asks for a lot of money, and the other party pays back the money when it lands.

The three generations of Hokage and the three elders basically agreed to Honglei's request to a certain extent, but the two sides had a fierce debate on the amount and time limit of the reduction. In the end, Konoha agreed that Avalon would get a time limit of Three-year commercial agreement.

So far, what Honglei can do on the side of the third generation of Hokage has basically been done.

The commercial agreement between the two parties and the laying of the railway, if these two aspects are completed, it may double Avalon's current annual income again, and this is not counting the capacity revolution brought about by the development of steam technology. effect.

"Then, I wish us a happy cooperation. Avalon and Konoha will be inseparable allies. After I go back, I will send a mission to discuss specific matters." Hong Lei stood up and shook hands with the Third Hokage Let's start, this level of business cooperation is definitely not something that can be settled by lip service. Formal cooperation documents and more detailed binding regulations will definitely require a lot of time for the people under his command to discuss. After all, Hong Lei and The three generations of Hokage are all big figures in the ninja world, and it is impossible for them to earn a few cents for the benefit of blushing and thick necks.

"Hehe, of course, I also hope that Konoha and Avalon can become the most solid allies forever." Third Hokage also smiled very happily.

However, whether it is the words of the third generation or the words of Honglei, the purpose is actually just to reassure the hearts of both parties.

Who can tell the future situation clearly, not to mention the verbal "brotherly friendship", even Suna Yin, who signed a peace treaty with Konoha, unilaterally tore up the treaty and launched a war against Konoha.

And it's a full two times!
Once this situation is really under, driven by interests, no agreement will have any effect!
Huh?
Thinking of this, Hong Lei couldn't help wondering whether the downfall of the Uzumaki clan was because Konoha had accepted the benefits of other gods, so he chose to turn a blind eye.

Of course, this is just a thought, and he has no evidence anyway.

After a day of friendly 'talks', Honglei and Xianglin were immediately arranged to rest in a 'mansion'.

This time they lived in a luxury hotel in Konoha instead of the previous public hotel that specially received foreigners. After reaching a business agreement, Avalon suddenly became the most valuable hotel in Konoha. After all, apart from Avalon, there is no village with such great development potential that can bring benefits to Konoha.
