Otherworld Girl Development Guide

This bizarre administrative system can probably only be found in India. As a global superpower, it seems to have every kind of administrative system imaginable, plus a touch of caste politics... wow, it's getting more and more fantastical.

Once both sides were seated, the first round of negotiations between Shangqiu and Krobel began. However, out of the rabbit's sight, two special guests were also observing from behind the scenes.

After all, as the two suzerain states of Krobel, the Rebonian Empire and the Republic of Calva had to ensure that Krobel would not sign any treaties that would harm their interests.

"Distinguished delegates..."

The lead rabbit picked up the manuscript in his hand, and the meeting room fell silent. The leader of the diplomatic rabbits looked up and glanced at Mayor Doyle and Speaker Hart sitting opposite him.

Mayor Doyle sat on the right, with his secretary Nester and his faction of supporters, all of whom had been promoted from the common people.

Representative Hart sat on the left, and to his left were all members of the Krober Council, most of whom were wealthy businessmen and politicians.

"...We are here to seek cooperation, hoping that Shangqiu and Kroborsky can open up bilateral trade..."

Upon hearing about trade, Representative Hart's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking. However, several representatives next to Speaker Hart's eyes lit up as they began to consider whether they could monopolize the goods in Shangqiu.

"...Our Shangqiu delegation comes in a spirit of friendship and mutual benefit, and this is our first formal meeting with Krobel..."

Mayor Doyle listened intently to Diplomatic Rabbit's words, his mind racing as he analyzed the underlying meaning... First, he could deduce that Shangqiu was genuinely there to do business, and with great sincerity, as evidenced by Mr. Jin's behavior during his visit.

"...We understand that the Krobel Autonomous Region has its concerns, and we have ours as well. However, our cooperation with the Kingdom of Bel has been very pleasant. Our investment has brought 30,000 jobs to the Kingdom of Bel, providing stable employment for many impoverished people and boosting the economic and industrial development of the Kingdom of Bel..."

Diplomatic Rabbit uses a ready-made example to illustrate that using customers to talk to customers is the most powerful approach!

The achievements of the cooperation between the Kingdom of Bel and Shangqiu have spread throughout the continent. After experiencing the Lai-Shang high-speed railway, many people couldn't help but marvel at Queen Estie's strategic vision. The Kingdom of Bel's national strength is growing stronger, as can be seen from the recent change in the attitude of the Rebonian Empire and the Republic of Calva towards the Kingdom of Bel.

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Mayor Doyle's eyes. His aides, who belonged to the mayor's faction and were promoted from among the common people, were also somewhat excited, but the councilors did not think so.

Don't think that just because you're employed, you're the boss. In the eyes of these businessmen who are also members of parliament, the lower-level employees of Krober are nothing more than beggars on their knees!

"...The Kingdom of Bel's tax revenue increased by 60 percentage points last year, and we predict that this upward trend will continue for ten years..."

The leading diplomat not only emphasized "vested interests," but also pointed out that if Krobel cooperated with Shangqiu, there would be a continuous stream of long-term benefits.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

"...The meeting will last for three days. We hope that today's meeting will at least result in the signing of a bilateral trade agreement, which will serve as the beginning of the talks between the two sides."

This is a clear statement from the rabbit; he needs an explanation today. We don't have much time to waste arguing with Klopp.

The rabbit has given Klopp plenty of face, so Klopp should reciprocate in kind!

Don't waste our time, time is money, my friend!

Chapter 55 Mutual Benefit (6/20)

After Shangqiu's diplomat finished speaking, Mayor Doyle and Councilor Hart immediately realized that Shangqiu was making demands. Mayor Doyle spoke first: "Krobel is willing to sign a bilateral trade agreement with Shangqiu."

After all, Krobel is an international city, and finance and trade are essential for its survival, a point that neither the Rebonian Empire nor the Republic of Calva would object to.

Some merchants or intelligence agencies within the Rebonian Empire and the Republic of Calva also conduct shady transactions in Krobel.

Diplomatic Rabbit nodded inwardly. It seemed that Krobel was quite sincere. Mayor Doyle had already stated that the bilateral trade agreement would be signed today, and Speaker Hart, standing nearby, had also tacitly agreed to the signing of the bilateral trade agreement.

"So, in what areas do we intend to cooperate?" Speaker Hart asked softly.

Mayor Doyle frowned slightly; the confrontation between the two had already begun.

Earning Mira is fine, but whose pocket does it go into? Is it given to the common people of Krobel, or stuffed into the pockets of merchants, or others?

At the lead rabbit's signal, the assistant rabbit handed Mayor Doyle and Councilor Hart a copy of the Shangqiu investment white paper to each of them.

The two took the white paper and began to read it, repeatedly examining the information on some key items, trying to deduce meanings beyond the literal words.

The leading diplomatic rabbit was not in a hurry, but patiently waited for the two to read it through.

After the two men had read through the document, they said in a deep voice, "We hope that both sides can cooperate in areas including but not limited to medical care, minerals, agricultural and sideline products, daily necessities and tourism. In addition, we also hope to establish a financial settlement center in Krobel."

For bilateral trade, China is open to all, as it can take in everything. The financial settlement center is a sharp sword that strikes at Krober's core interests, and incidentally, it also provides initial exchange services between Mira and RMB, as well as commercial loan services.

Introducing the RMB into the Krober financial market, where some high-end products can only be purchased with RMB, will undoubtedly make the RMB a hard currency, preventing Shangqiu's investment industry from becoming a target for exploitation by certain individuals in Krober.

Using finance to counter finance is the most efficient approach. If circumstances allow, we should also seize regional pricing power, which would allow the RMB to gain a foothold in Kroborsk. Kroborsk is an international city, which would be beneficial for the RMB to go global.

There are several towns around Klopel with investment opportunities.

Almorica, a village renowned for its natural scenery and delicious honey, is a great tourist destination. We could collaborate with Almorica to develop the area, first by building roads, then by incorporating modern tourism concepts and commercial districts, leading Almorica to prosperity.

Mainz, a mining town that produces obsidian, is also one of the production areas that China values. The existence of the anti-gravity engine has made China pay attention to obsidian as a new type of energy and gradually integrate force-guided technology with modern technology.

After all, the source of orbal technology is obsidian. With the vigorous development of orbal technology, the Kingdom of Bel is running out of obsidian produced by itself, so the rabbit can only turn its attention to external sources.

Mishulam, a health resort with "Mishi" as its mascot, is it like a Disneyland in another world?

However, having only Misi in the main park is too monotonous. The rabbit version of Disney's best-selling product could also include Mishulam. Anyway, it's sold on another planet, and their legal department can't enforce laws across galaxies. This would also create new jobs for the women of Krobel.

The medically advanced University of St. Ursula is also a potential partner. Learning from others can be beneficial, and collaborative research and development of drugs to treat terminal illnesses might yield remarkable results.

The above describes the current strategy of "encircling the city from the countryside" for the rabbit, aiming to occupy the rural areas surrounding Krober.

"Mr. Wang, the letter of intent states that Shangqiu will invest in several factories in Krobel. How will the factory shares be distributed?" Hart, representing the forces behind him, asked a sensitive question.

How are shares distributed in the factory? Is it split 30/70 or 50/50?

"Regarding this, some light industrial factories are cooperating with each other, but the specific scale will depend on the circumstances..."

Mr. Wang started to play coy, refusing to give Senator Hart a definite answer. After all, it was possible that the rabbits would want everything. Besides, the rabbits were building factories to help Krobel get rich together, not to enrich those businessmen!

Seeing that Mr. Wang did not give a direct answer, Congressman Hart seemed to understand something, calculating in his mind how much benefit he would need to give up, and then asked another question that puzzled him:

"Shangqiu would actually need that kind of useless stone?"

Those dark green stones were giving Krobel a terrible headache. These self-growing stones had absolutely no commercial value. Sending people to clean them up was a hassle and a waste of time. If they weren't cleaned up, they would just keep growing. In the end, he could only let them grow as long as they didn't cross the boundary.

Mayor Doyle, who was standing nearby, already knew that the people of Shangqiu were very interested in these stones. During Mr. Jin's last visit, he had already indicated that the rabbit would help Krobel deal with those stones.

“We are very interested in this type of stone, so we hope to purchase that area and build a factory to study why those stones can grow on their own. Our initial estimate is that it could provide 500 jobs for Krober.”

Diplomatic Rabbit pushed up his glasses and said calmly, the meaning was simple: Since Krobel finds it difficult to handle those fractal silica stones, Rabbit will help you handle them. You're welcome!

Speaker Hart nodded, saying that providing jobs would help maintain social stability in Kroborsk and prevent the poor from causing trouble all the time.

Meanwhile, off-site guests closely following the talks realized that the signing of a trade agreement between Klopp and Shangqiu was inevitable.

*Snap!* Olivier slammed the book "Corny Pickup Lines 3" shut, and said to Mura with a slight headache:

"Oh dear, this is troublesome..."

Originally, Krobel was merely a toy in the hands of the Rebonian Empire and the Republic of Calva. The high-ranking officials of both sides knew that Krobel had the idea of ​​independence, but the state of Krobel did not have the strength to do so.

Now that these guests from afar have intervened, the situation is bound to spiral out of control for both sides, heading down a path that neither Klopp had ever imagined.

"...Never mind, it's not like we're the ones with a headache anyway, let Osborne have the headache!"

At this point, Olivier looked up at the softly decorated wall, his gaze seemingly piercing through it, and saw the special envoy from the neighboring Republic of Calva, Miss Wuxiang, who had once visited Shangqiu.

Chapter 56: Why Not Bow to the Father-in-Law Upon Meeting Him? (7/20)

After a day of closed-door talks, and with the refinement of some key provisions, the Shandwick Bilateral Trade Agreement was signed.

Compared to the rabbit's concise and efficient signature, Krober's signature not only bore Mayor Doyle's signature but also Speaker Hart's...

In short, the rabbit has achieved its first goal: after trade is established, it can continuously purchase yellow crystals through Krobel, thus preventing the big merchants of the Rebonian Empire from monopolizing the yellow crystal business. The rabbit will absolutely not allow anyone to hold it back here!

Furthermore, with the signing of the bilateral trade agreement, businessmen from Shangqiu can now legally invest in Krobel, which undoubtedly greatly increases Shangqiu's influence.

The next goal is to establish a World Bank in Krobel and sign a bilateral currency agreement with Krobel, further opening up the market for the RMB and making it a currency recognized by the mainland.

The first day of talks made some progress, with Shangqiu and Krobel signing an agreement on the general direction. The specific details will be finalized by their subordinates.

The city hall doors opened, and Mr. Wang, holding the signed "Shang-Kra" bilateral trade agreement, posed for a photo with Mayor Doyle and Councilor Hart. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Mayor Doyle was closer to the diplomat, while Councilor Hart was further away.

The rabbit responded to this question by saying that both are equally important.

The first day of signing bilateral agreements was completed for the rabbits, but for Zhou Mingrui, it was just the beginning.

Zhou Mingrui dressed up carefully in front of the mirror before heading to the restaurant.

To be honest, Zhou Mingrui was quite nervous. The hotel Ellie had booked, judging from the invitation, was a famous restaurant in Krober... Could it be that he was going to meet her parents?

Ellie hadn't mentioned her parents, which meant the family she was going to meet was Mayor Doyle's.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mingrui suddenly became a little nervous. What gift should he prepare for Mayor Doyle?

I was careless... I didn't even consider meeting the parents!

Finally, Zhou Mingrui took out a fountain pen from his suitcase that was said to be very "expensive".

"This shouldn't be too shabby as a gift, right..."

After wrapping the pen and putting it in his pocket, Zhou Mingrui tidied his appearance and prepared to go out.

As soon as I got to the door and put on my shoes, I felt like someone was watching me.

stare!

Zhou Mingrui

Zhou Mingrui turned around and saw Lingdang and Tio staring at him with their amber eyes narrowed: Where are you going?

"Ahem..." Zhou Mingrui coughed lightly: "...I'm going out to keep an appointment."

"Oh~" x2

stare!

The two kittens stared intently at Zhou Mingrui with their amber eyes: Aren't you taking us with you? Which cat are you going to see?

Zhou Mingrui originally didn't plan to take them, but then he thought that if he made his relationship with Ellie clear in the future, she would come into contact with Bell and Theo sooner or later, so some things should be made clear sooner rather than later.

Mayor Doyle is, after all, the top official in Krober, and should have some understanding of the Order. It's hard to say what information he might have obtained.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mingrui said to the two little girls, "Of course I'll take you."

Bell and Theo blinked at each other, went back into the house to change into casual clothes, and then walked over to Zhou Mingrui's side.

"Let's go."

Zhou Mingrui led the two little girls toward the grand hotel that Ellie had booked. The hotel wasn't far away, also in the entertainment district, right next to the Rainbow Theater. Judging from the exterior decoration, you could tell that the prices inside were definitely not cheap.

Zhou Mingrui, holding the two children's hands, looked at the two quiet little girls beside him and asked, "I haven't asked you recently, how's your learning going?"

"Lingdang has already earned her second doctoral degree..." Lingdang said sweetly, "...soon she will be working with her professor on sixth-generation fighter jets."
