Different World Development Manual Chapter 71: Comprador class
South of Central Sea, southern mainland of Aghanim, Camber Commercial Republic.
Zhang Lian, China’s ambassador to Camber, put a diplomatic note in his briefcase, looked at the Camber street view outside the embassy window, and looked at the wharf drivers carrying goods, muttered: "It's really a vibrant place."
opened the door, left the office, and called the driver: "Go to the Governor's House in Camber."
"Okay, Ambassador Zhang."
Like most diplomats dispatched to another world, Zhang Lian’s title is ambassador to XX, but in fact, another identity is a member of the Intelligence Department of the Time and Space Administration.
Since China crossed to the flat world three years ago and was attacked by the joint fleet, the joint fleet of the Southern Exercises was immediately involved in the counterattack against the Central Sea countries.
With the destruction of some of the fleets of the Camber Commercial Republic in the west, the Camber Commercial Republic signed a peace agreement with China under the Fifth Fleet’s harbour.
The signing of the peace agreement also stipulates that Camber will open the three cities of Sneway, Yanare and Lanmi as trading ports to China.
With the influx of China's products into the Camber Commercial Republic, the local capitalists in Camber were hit. The market share of the products was squeezed by China's products, and the handicraft workshops had no place in front of the industrialized factories. Advantage.
Half a year after the arrival of China, Camberer experienced a wave of bankruptcy of handicraft workshops one after another.
This trend has continued for more than two years, and until now, those handicraft workshops in Camber are less than three-fifths of what they were three years ago.
The owners of the handicraft workshops who survived, they are still struggling to support them with meager profits.
Most of the small workshops went bankrupt. They had no technology and efficiency. The products they produced had no competitive advantage in front of China's industrialized products.
They are not like local medium and large factories, which have a certain amount of capital, technology, contacts, and customers as the back end.
They are not like the mechanized factories in China, which can raise the quality of the products to the highest, the quantity to the highest, and the price to the lowest.
desperately desperate, they can only declare bankruptcy, and then join other medium and large handicraft factories as skilled workers.
Of course, there are also bright-headed guys. They choose to be a "middleman", that is, a comprador.
They took all the money they had earned before starting the workshop to gamble, rented a boat, brought local specialties, and went to the northwest of the central sea, the newly emerging maritime neighboring country.
sold Camber's specialties, which are of great interest to Chinese people, and made the first pot of gold.
Then he took the thing called soft currency and bought local products in China.
In the eyes of these compradors, among similar products, Huaxia's products are far superior to local Camber products in terms of quality and price.
So they bought a lot of goods from China and shipped them back to Camber to sell.
The bosses of these small workshops fight like this, and the bicycles really become motorcycles.
They took Huaxia's products and acted as intermediaries to earn the price difference, and they soon recovered the money from the small workshop that was hit by Huaxia's products and went bankrupt, and even more.
These compradors have also tasted the sweetness. Without the concept of industrialization, they don’t even know that they are slowly destroying the handicraft workshop in Camber and destroying Camber. The process of “industrialization” of Seoul.
But the profits made by such behavior are so much that these compradors simply cannot bear to let go.
If a comprador who is new to this line of business has assets worth 10,000 soft coins, he might use 500 soft coins to hire a team of workers and form a trade caravan.
took out another 8,000 soft, according to the current price, you may buy 1,000 bags of fruits from the countries of the western Great Plains in Camber.
Then use the remaining 1,000 to charter a cargo ship to China, with the remaining 500 as a reserve fund.
After arriving in China, they can sell these 1,000 bags of fruits, earning more than 15,000 soft coins, or even more soft coins.
Its profit is as high as 50%.
took 15,000 soft coins and bought more than 14,000 soft goods from China.
from the northwest of Central Sea, return to Camberer.
Sell these more than 14,000 soft products backhand, and you can get at least 50,000 soft income.
Such a huge profit is simply not comparable to the original small workshop.
Although Huaxia Commodities are only allowed to land in the three seaports of Sneway, Yanare, and Lanmi, merchants on the land will hire horse-drawn carriages, or use their own fleet to move the ports to the port. These goods are bought, loaded into cars, and then sent to every city in Camber.
Although they did not become Erdao dealers, as Sandao dealers, they also made considerable profits.
The commercial atmosphere of the Camberer Commercial Republic is very strong, and the infrastructure construction in the Republic is almost one of the few aborigines of the Aghanim mainland.
The roads extending in all directions, even if the eastern part of Camber is blocked by the western mountains, but the mountain roads also cross the mountains and reach the western part of the Great Plain.
Merchants on the land took these Chinese goods and sold them all the way from Camber to countries in the western Great Plains, and even farther away.
The merchants naturally heard the sound of large and large gold coin transactions, "Hula la la", which is very pleasing to the ears.
The copper doesn't smell at all, but it smells very fragrant.
Whether it is a comprador on the sea or a land, a new class, the comprador class, has faintly emerged in Camber within the past three years.
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.
They only need a warehouse, a transfer station, a boat, or a team of carriages, that's enough.
They don’t create value, they just make the difference.
It is precisely because of the rise of these comprador classes that a new round of class contradictions broke out in Camber, the contradiction between local workshop capitalists and comprador capitalists.
Of course, as capitalists of other classes, they have not joined this game between workshop capitalists and comprador capitalists for the time being.
The comprador class is a new class. Although it is growing rapidly, its power is still too small for traditional workshop capitalists.
Even financial capitalists who benefited from the rise of comprador capitalists did not immediately plunge into this muddy water.
For financial capitalists, they must treat this matter as "neutral", which is the so-called wait and see.
The choice of the financial capitalists was correct. Taking advantage of the Holy See's Eastern Expedition against China, the workshop capitalists began to attack the comprador capitalists.
First, the Governor of the Republic, Mann, was forced to raise the domestic China Commodity Transaction Tax in order to collect high taxes to curb the circulation of China’s commodities in the country.
Even if the compradors sell a commodity and make 100% profit from it, the 95% of the profit must be handed over.
What the workshop capitalists want is that while comprador capitalists hand over a large amount of income, they will not starve to death. With 5% of the profit, they will work for nothing.
Of course, the Governor’s House in Camber is also happy to see its success~ IndoMTL.com~ A large sum of money is charged into the national treasury in the form of transaction tax. Governor Enn finally smiled.
Of course, the counterattack of the workshop capitalists was not over yet, and then they forced Governor Maine to increase the overall tariffs at the ports of trade.
can not only encourage the Chinese goods to be sold in Camber after they arrive in Camber, they will inevitably increase their prices due to high tariffs, and raise prices from the source, forcing ordinary people in Camber to be unable to buy them.
At the same time, increasing the overall tariffs of the trade ports will cause the goods originally sold by the countries of the Great Plains to the three cities of Sneway, Yanagre, and Lanmi to be transferred to Camber or other seaport cities for sale.
levied high transaction taxes, raised tariffs, and attacked with both fists. In one fell swoop, they knocked out the arrogance of the emerging comprador class.
At the same time, China’s products have also been curbed to a certain extent.
Governor Maine was watching the tax report submitted below, and drank a bottle of Huaxia Laojiao with a red face: "Mei, the bosses of those workshops did a good job."
Recalling the humiliating peace agreement signed on the island-sized steel ship of China’s Fifth Fleet 3 years ago, Mai En was annoyed.
drank a small wine alone: "Now it's finally back to the game."
An official knocked on the door and walked in: "Governor, Ambassador Zhang is here."
"Huh? Is he here?"
Maine pursed the Laojiao on his lips. Zhang Lian's arrival was probably about tariffs. Maine had already said something, and he smiled and said, "Make arrangements and see what Ambassador Zhang has plans." /
