Chapter 2415: Doing business two
And didn't the crown prince just said that? Although we can no longer talk about friendship, we can still talk about business, right? Then let's talk about business first! As for the military issue, how should I put it? The Finns are very clear that the Russians will definitely not have time to move Finland in a short period of time. Therefore, this matter can be discussed slowly in the future, but in any case, Ruprecht just discussed the future of Finland and The analysis of the Russian war made the Finns very alert! The threat of the Russians still hung above the Finns like a sword of Damocles, and they had to open one eye to guard against the Russians' attacks when they were allowed to sleep! In fact, after the independence of Finland in history, although the two countries had signed a non-aggression treaty, the Finns were very aware of the threat from the Russians, so the combat readiness work has not stopped. And on this plane, Finland still does!
"We need some loans from your country, and in return, we can open up the domestic market." Stahlberg hesitated a bit and referred to financial aid as a loan. After all, the Bavarian crown prince on the opposite side is already very disgusted with the so-called aid. As for opening up the domestic market, this is definitely not good for a country like France. After all, if it is too open, it will cause domestic enterprises to suffer an impact, but for a population of less than 4 million, underdeveloped industry, and poor agriculture It doesn’t matter if the country is open, otherwise, what else? Thinking of building a complete industrial system by yourself? Think too much!
Of course, the so-called openness cannot be achieved in one step. How much openness is and what the conditions are depends on how much help Germany is willing to provide. Do you talk about business, you can always bargain!
"Empire can provide an interest-free loan worth 300 million marks. In return, I hope the two countries can sign a fuel purchase contract. We guarantee that the price of fuel provided to your country will not be higher than 10% of the world average price of crude oil. "The crown prince said.
"Is the settlement in mark? Also, does your country intend to monopolize my country's fuel market?" Starberg asked. In fact, Germany has just finished the war. Although the currency value has not fallen excessively because of the help of the Americans, it is still economically weak. Of course, in fact, this gap is not very big. After all, everyone is now a gold standard country. In peacetime, banknotes will never be issued randomly. After this period of turbulence in Germany, the value of the mark will return to its normal level. This is completely different from the era when everyone madly printed money after the collapse of the gold standard.
As for the fuel supply in Germany, how do you say this? Finland itself can't use much oil a year, after all, it has a small population. The price requirement of not exceeding 10% of the world's average crude oil price does not seem to be high. After all, the Germans provide interest-free loans. You always want the Germans to make back the interest spread, right? But this price is much more expensive than American crude oil, because the price of American crude oil is lower than the international average price!
How about the natural resource endowment of Americans? Before World War II, the price of a gallon in the United States was only 17 cents! The German coal price is more than ten times! And on this plane, although Germany has the Baku oil field and the oil fields from the Mesopotamia, it is really hard to say that it will compete with the Americans in terms of price.
For Stahlberg, if he can, he naturally hopes to have more choices. If Finland asks for a loan from the United States at this time, it is estimated that he can get some back. If Finland buys American oil, it might be cheaper. In other words, Ruprecht's request just now may not be economically advantageous, but what is there to say? This world can't just look at money!
The economic conditions proposed by the Germans cannot be said to be pitfalls. At most, Finland earns less. After all, the United States is about to face a war, and oil supply may go wrong. What? Maybe some people say that tens of millions of tons of US oil production will not be enough? Don't understand, brother! In fact, during the Second World War, the United States also restricted the amount of fuel used by civilians. For example, the Americans once stipulated that during the war, the speed of American civilian cars should not exceed 40 miles! Although at this time, the Americans will not be as concerned as fighting in the Second World War, but also, the current US oil supply is not as abnormal as the Second World War. So, apart from anything else, fuel prices will definitely rise!
"Do you think this will work, we have signed a coal supply contract to replace fuel supply." Stahlberg wanted to struggle a bit.
"Are you stupid?" Ruprecht took the last half of Stahlberg back without even speaking. Because Germany does not have to sign any treaty with Finland, Finnish coal can only be supplied by Germany! After all, the whole of Europe, whether it is the Ruhr area in Germany or the Donetsk coal mine under the control of Austria-Hungary, has full competitiveness! The quality of the British Welsh white coal is indeed good, but it is a pity that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ such excellent coal must be expensive. Generally, except for the demanding requirements of warships on coal, there is no big difference in what coal is burned! So unless Finland can't make ends meet with the money, the bulk of coal imports can only be imported from Germany!
"Well, we hope that the loan amount can be increased to 400 million. I hope that the term of the fuel supply contract between the two parties will be 5 years. We can guarantee that within this period of time, the amount of imported foreign fuel will not exceed 20% of the total. "Stalberg said.
"10 years! This is our requirement. The loan amount will be increased to 450 million, and the loan will be paid off in three years. The loan period is 15 years. If you agree, then you can get the first batch of 100 million marks within 3 months. Loan!" Ruprecht said.
Within a few minutes, the two sides fought another round. Stahlberg thought very well. From now on, five years later, the war between the United States and Japan in the Far East can end, and after the war, the price of crude oil in the United States will fall. At this time, Finland can naturally choose between two crude oil producing countries, the United States and Germany.
And Ruprecht? Naturally, he also knew what Stahlberg thought, so he added 10 years to this deadline! This seems to only allow Finland to buy more fuel for a few more years, but in fact it has its own considerations. The reason is very simple. After 10 years, the Russian Civil War is over, and it is estimated that the first five-year plan will be implemented! The crown prince understood the horror of the Soviet Union on an industrial scale.
