Commod was shocked when he heard this: "It seems that the mayor really understands the political ecology of our United States."

"I can't say I know much, I just heard it a little." Zhong Yi smiled, "After all, at this time last year, I was still studying in West Point Town on the west bank of the Hudson River."

"I forgot that the mayor graduated from West Point Military Academy." Commod's expression began to become serious, and then continued, "You are right, you are indeed in the United States. There is indeed a force against isolationism, including the three arms manufacturers you listed."

After a pause, Commod said again: "However, the force you are looking forward to is not strong enough to change the United States' national policy!"

Before World War II, the power of American arms dealers was not actually very strong.

What really made the American arms dealers stronger was World War II.

But then again, since the United States cannot ban guns, the arms dealer is still a bit powerful.

Zhong Yi said: "But I have not sought to change the established national policy of the United States, but just wanted to promote China and the United States to establish an economic cooperation demonstration industrial zone in Yinjiang. This is just an economic cooperation."

"It's just an economic cooperation?" Commode said, "but what's the use of this?"

"Yes, what's the use of this?" Li Qimo also echoed, "If it's just pure economic cooperation and no political conditions are attached, it probably has no deterrent effect on Japan."

Joseph McGrath said: "If this is the case, the Japanese army will still come to bomb."

"But what if these companies are all American companies?" Zhong Yi smiled, "or more than half of the companies are American companies, and the Japanese army dares to bomb?"

"All of them are American companies?" Commod finally understood what Zhong Yi meant, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"This is a good method!" Li Qimo said excitedly, "I dare not say other American companies, but arms companies like Springfield, Colt and Winchester will definitely be happy to come to Yinjiang to set up a factory!"

All fools understand this principle. China is fighting against Japan at the moment, and the demand for arms is endless. American arms companies come to Yinjiang to build factories and produce, and there is no doubt that they will make a lot of money!

"I'm afraid this won't work." Zhong Yi shook his head and said regretfully, "If arms companies like Springfield, Cold and Winchester are really introduced into Yinjiang, it will be too stimulating to the Japanese government. The Japanese army will definitely come to bomb at all costs. The identity of the American company cannot be fully guaranteed."

To be honest, why doesn’t Zhong Yi want to introduce American arms manufacturers?

If the United States' arms manufacturers can be introduced into Yinjiang Construction Branch, it will not only be taxes, employment, and high consumption of arms companies' external personnel, but only the equipment these arms manufacturers can provide to China with the greatest help in the War of Resistance.

However, this is impossible.

If you really want to work hard in this direction, the Japanese government will definitely do its best to put pressure on the United States. With the current political ecology of the United States, this proposal is not possible, but will definitely be rejected by Congress!

Therefore, we can only settle for the second best, and introduce light industry manufacturers such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and textiles. These light industries can greatly alleviate the current shortage of materials in China without stimulating the Japanese government too much.

Commod said deeply: "If it is a US factory that is not directly related to the military, I believe that the Japanese army will still have some concerns and dare not send planes to bomb. But the problem is that these manufacturers that have nothing to do with the military may have the intention to come to Yinjiang to set up factories, but their willingness will not be too strong. It is basically impossible to expect them to promote this cooperation."

Li Qimo and Mai Joseph shrugged when he heard this. This is what makes people most annoyed.

American arms manufacturers have a strong desire to come to Yinjiang to set up factories, but they cannot let them come.

They hope that American light industrial manufacturers will come, but they don’t have much desire.

"This is actually easy to deal with." Zhong Yi slapped his chair, "It can allow several American arms dealers to first acquire some poorly managed daily necessities manufacturing companies, and then move to Yinjiang to set up factories. In this way, they have channels to make profits and have the willingness and motivation to lobby Congress, right?"

Commod shook his head and said, "Mayor, please be honest, this motivation is probably not enough."

"Of course it's not just these." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "We can also reach an agreement with several arms manufacturers in private. When the US government gets out of isolationism, or when Yinjiang establishes a complete air defense system, they will have the right to prioritize the construction of factories in Yinjiang and be tax-free in the first ten years!"

He paused and said, "In addition, I have two patents to give to them!"

"There are patents?" Commod said in surprise. "What patents? Can we listen to them?"

"I'm afraid it won't work." Zhong Yi smiled and shook his head, and said, "When you have contacted the American arms manufacturer group, I will give them the special time. Believe me, they will definitely like these two patents! And these two patents will also bring them a steady stream of profits!"

"If that's the case, maybe you can give it a try," Commod said.

At this time, Li Qimo said: "Mayor, you just mentioned the tax exemption. Is it only for American factories or for all foreign-funded factories?"

"Tax exemption is limited to manufacturing factories of several American arms dealers." Zhong Yi said this and continued, "But other foreign-funded enterprises can also enjoy tax incentives when coming to Yinjiang. They will be exempted directly within the first three years after completion and production, and only half of the corporate operating tax is required for ten years. Even if necessary, Yinjiang Development Bank can provide them with loans for factory relocation."

"If that's the case, I might be able to attract several British factories."

Joseph McGrath said, "I can also find a few French factories to strengthen our new industrial park in Yinjiang."

"That's it, I'll wait for the good news of the ministers here." Zhong Yi stood up after saying that, shook hands with Commod and the other two, and said to Li Qimo, "In addition, please please please Li Qimo quickly pay 110,000 pounds. It's not a big deal for the 97 members of the British Royal Navy to keep this in jail."
