Pie fell from 138 days

Li Xiang picked up a cup of strong black coffee and drank it leisurely. In fact, he doesn't like the burntness and bitterness of black coffee, but if he wants to put a nobleman's recipe, he can only swallow a cup of bitterness into his stomach.

Wang Jingwei was stirring black coffee with a silver spoon, and his whole spirit was opposite them. Ryohei Uchida and U.S. Consul Henry. Davidson and a man named Paul. On Warburg's American Jewish banker.

"...At the time when there is a lot of discussion about the situation in China, I think it is my duty to clearly explain the attitude of the State Council to the Chinese people in the Surahui tragedy against the violence of the Dutch military and police and the protection of human rights." Henry, an American, said loudly while stirring the fragrant black coffee.

Wang Jingwei nodded repeatedly and was very excited.

Li wanted to take a look at the middle-aged American, who had Spanish chestnut curly hair.

The United States has always hoped that China will be united, independent and prosperous. For this purpose, the United States made a declaration on the waiver of extraterrary authority in the Treaty of 1903. The United States has prepared, and is still preparing, to negotiate with any Chinese government or any representative who can speak on behalf of China or on behalf of China, not only to negotiate the implementation of the revision of the contract, but also to negotiate the complete abandonment of tariff control, which is to restore China's full tariff autonomy..."

"What Mr. Henry Consul said is that China seeks treaty revision and tariff autonomy, which is not a matter of a day or two. If it is to negotiate with you, I personally have no opinion." Li wants to see the sincerity of this American, and he already has a good impression.

"However, the United States expects to receive most-favoured-nation treatment, and expects not to be detrimental to the United States and its nationals in tariffs or other taxes, but not conducive to the differential treatment of nationals of other countries, and does not expects to be treated differently because of the privileges of other countries. It also expects that the portal of equal trade opportunities in China will remain open, and more The state provides all guarantees for American expatriates and their property and rights.

"I painted Hankou as a special economic zone, which is the first step for China to truly realize reform and opening up and move towards a civilized world. Reform and opening up require the introduction of a large amount of foreign capital. China will be a country with as free and equal trade as the United States. China will also provide all guarantees for foreign nationals and their property and rights for investment in China. Li wanted to laugh.

"Do you... have such an idea?" Henry Consul originally thought that he would negotiate for a long time. He knew that those antiques in China had always been wary of the "opening of the door" to the United States. He just wanted to invest in China, which had a great victory in this Surabaya negotiations, so as to find more markets for American capital and commodities. Unexpectedly, he really found treasure.

Li wanted to nod affirmatively.

Henry Consul and a Jewish banker named Paul were overjoyed. With Li Xiang's promise, in the Yangtze River Basin, the Americans will not squeeze out the British forces. The most affluent Yangtze River Basin in China is the United Kingdom, which has not allowed anyone to interfere in their interests.

Henry immediately made a promise of his rights: "In fact, the recommendation of the Extraterresultary Commission can be implemented without another treaty. The United States is ready to implement these recommendations and negotiate to waive extraterrant jurisdiction as soon as China is ready to provide legal and court guarantees to American expatriates and their property and rights. The United States is willing to treat China with the most generous spirit and the most sincere friendship, which will be proved in the future negotiations in Surrey.

Wang Jingwei opened his mouth wide. I really can't figure out what kind of shit luck Li wants to go? Why are the foreign devils so easy to deal with? If this had been before, he would have dared not have imagined it! He believes that if he speaks to his friends, he will definitely have a fantasy on the same day!

Li Xiang nodded: "We would also ask the United States to use its influence on the relevant powers to quickly convene tariff meetings and appoint extraterrial commissions, and urge governments to give their representatives broad powers so that they can consider the whole issue of revision and make recommendations on the abolition of extraterrial jurisdiction."

Wang Jingwei almost couldn't help rushing up and gagged Li Xiang's mouth. How could he get an inch? What if the Americans are angry?

"Li Shuai and my opinions are consistent. I will put forward Li Shuai and my opinion to Washington, D.C. The United States should take this opportunity to show the Chinese that the United States is willing to consider amending the treaty. I would advocate that the preparations of the great powers for the holding of China's special tariff conference should be accelerated. I believe that after completing the work required by the treaty, the special tariff meeting should be asked to provide specific suggestions. Based on these suggestions, a plan can be formulated to allow full tariff autonomy. Representatives of the United States have been given full authority to negotiate a new treaty that recognizes China's tariff autonomy. At the same time, I would advocate the assignment of a committee to examine the issue of extraterrial jurisdiction. The committee should understand the proposal to gradually waive extraterrial jurisdiction in the report for the purpose of empowerment.

Wang Jingwei opened his mouth again.

"After China's tariff independence, I want to join hands with the two largest economies at both ends of the Pacific Ocean to create a Pacific Rim free trade zone." Li wanted to smile, "Absolute free trade zone."

Paul, a shrewd Jewish banker, his eyes flashed and his heart was obviously moved.

"All parties joining the free trade zone provide each other with unconditional most-favoured-nation treatment and tariff reductions in tariffs and trade!" Li's words are full of **. All parties give each other national treatment, most-favoured-nation treatment and fair and fair treatment of investment, improve the transparency of investment-related laws and regulations, create a free, convenient, transparent and fair investment environment for investors in member countries of the Pacific Rim Free Trade Area, and provide full legal protection for investors from both sides. And further promote the investment facilitation and gradual liberalization of the member countries of the Pacific Rim Free Trade Area.

"Is this really a heartwarming proposal?"

Consul Henry didn't say anything and spoke to Paul, the Jewish banker who was the most sensitive to business opportunities.

"I even envision the establishment of an international trade organization at the same time as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, so that they can become the trinity of "monetary-finance-trade" institutions that influence the world economy." The more Li wants to talk, the more boundless he becomes.

"World Bank?" Paul asked excitedly.

"Yes. In the worst period of the Great Depression sweeping the world, the world needs to build a bank of central bankers. It operates completely independent of governments and is completely exempt from taxes to governments in war or peacetime. It only accepts deposits from central banks and charges a considerable fee for each transaction. In times of severe recession and turbulence in the world economy, central banks of various countries must be willing to store their gold reserves in the World Bank. Correspondingly, all kinds of international payments and war compensation are also settled through the World Bank.

"The real purpose of the World Bank you designed is to provide a platform that is difficult to track for central bankers of allied countries and allied countries, right?"

Paul. Warberg is a master in banking and is proficient in almost all the details of bank operation. He suddenly grasped the key.

Li Xiangda has the feeling of meeting a bosom friend. He not only answers patiently, but also explains the historical origin of every detail concept. Including Paul,

All the people are impressed by Li Xiang's profound knowledge of banking.

"Can you represent China in this matter?" Henry suddenly asked.

"I'm also interested in this matter. It doesn't matter if you don't agree." Li wanted to touch the scum on his chin. In fact, as long as you want, you can't deal with Yuan Shikai?"

"Why don't we want to establish a Pacific Rim free trade zone?" Paul immediately agreed in place of Henry.

"Regarding the idea of establishing a Pacific Rim free trade zone, first of all, I suggest that the Pacific Rim Economic Cooperation Expert Group be established under the framework of the Joint Committee on Pacific Rim Economic and Trade Cooperation to study the feasibility of establishing a free trade relationship in the Pacific Rim. The basic principles of free trade zones are: trade should be carried out on the basis of non-discriminatory treatment; member states can only protect their industries through tariffs and cannot adopt direct import control measures; they should reduce tariffs and limit trade barriers through multilateral negotiations; member states should resolve trade issues and disputes through consultation.

Li wanted to see Henry's consul stop talking and smiled: "The main activity of the Joint Commission is to reduce tariffs and other trade barriers, and to conduct multilateral trade negotiations under the auspices of the General Agreement. In addition to organizing multilateral tariff and trade negotiations, it also organizes relevant countries to consult on issues arising from commercial policy and resolve disputes; assist individual countries to solve problems in their country's trade; help relevant countries strengthen regional trade cooperation; implement plans to train international trade professionals, etc... Well, I am now There are only so many that I can think of."

These good things about smashing pies in the sky obviously make Consul Henry a little dizzy until now. After sitting down and drinking coffee for a long time, I was still a little trance.

During the Xinhai Revolution, the United States had ranked first in economic power in the world, but in terms of its political and economic power in the Far East, it was far less than that of Britain. The focus of the U.S. policy towards China is to penetrate and expand China based on the "open door" policy and with its generous economic strength. Now Li Xiang actually takes the initiative to open his arms and proposes a bolder and innovative "reform and opening up" than "opening the door". Why doesn't he be ecstatic?

"Why was the free trade zone established?" Wang Jingwei asked Li Xiang strangely. He thinks he is used to learning Chinese and Western, but he still can't keep up with the thinking of Li Xiang and these foreign devils.

It is conducive to China's participation in international economic cooperation and international division of labor to promote economic development; it is conducive to expanding exports and the use of foreign investment, and participating in international competition under equal conditions; it is conducive to promoting technological progress, industrial upgrading and economic structural adjustment, and further improving the market economy system of the Republic of China; it is conducive to reform. The development of the market economy of the Republic of China and the improvement of people's living standards are conducive to promoting the growth of the world economy, directly participating in the decision-making process of international trade rules of the civilized world in the 20th century, and getting rid of the unfavorable situation that others make rules and China passively accept, so as to safeguard legitimate rights and interests..."

Li Xiang laughed and said a lot of advantages, and his tone changed again: "But there are advantages and disadvantages: joining a free trade organization is also a serious challenge for China's vulnerable industries. If the pace of reform is not accelerated, these industries will be in danger of being eliminated. With the further expansion of the market and the substantial reduction of tariffs, foreign products, services and investments are likely to enter the Chinese market more. Some domestic national products, enterprises and industries inevitably face more fierce competition. But China is now a market for great powers to plunder raw materials and dump industrial products. The situation is so bad that it can't be worse, so this drawback is not a disadvantage for our country!"

"Li Shuai Gaojian!" Wang Jingwei's worship of Marshal Li is like the flooding of the Yellow River, which is out of control.

I'm just plagiarizing the ideas of the forerunners. Li wanted to have a treacherous smile.
