On the topic of wood, Southeast Asian countries Annan, Siam, Johor, and Java were all big producers of wood. Amongst which, both Siam and Johor traded with Shanhai City.
Shanhai City also constructed a large-sized shipyard in Lion City and had the convenience of geography.
Cui Yingyu mentioned on the memorial that the Business Division had already arranged some trading negotiation groups to contact the two countries to try to strike up a trade partnership.
Of course, this was not a long term solution.
Not mentioning the high transport costs, neither the Lords in Siam or Johor could give Shanhai City much price discounts as the purchase costs were not low either.
Both sides were just simple trade partners and were not even friends, much less allies.
With money to earn, the Lords on both sides would not act soft-hearted.
