313 Chapter 313: Purchasing

Hearing that Aslan said that he would purchase a large amount of food, Yitzhak was puzzled anyway.

"Although our Kingdom of Cleveland is not a food-producing country, we have always been self-sufficient." Joshua asked curiously.

Aslan shook his head, and took out a report from the magic space.

That was information about the outbreak of locust plagues in the North Wind Prairie.

Joshua took it and looked at it, and finally his expression changed drastically.

"The information above is true?"

Aslan nodded solemnly, and added: "It's almost inseparable, because I have noticed that the entire mainland of the Maxim Federation is purchasing food on a large scale. If I guess correctly, they are probably planning to take advantage of this locust plague." Make a fortune."

As the largest commercial empire in the mainland, the Maxim Federation has a keen business sense that ordinary people cannot compare to.

As the saying goes, intelligence determines everything.

Especially in business, many businessmen can always be one step ahead, making a lot of money when the industry is just emerging, and in the end they either become the industry leader or the industry's pivotal boss.

"This news should have been reported to the magician in charge of monitoring the natural environment at the Royal Academy of Magic." Fleur who was on the side suddenly added.

Yitzhak sat down immediately, and he didn't pay attention to this matter at the time, and no one in the court of the entire Kingdom of Cleveland paid attention to this matter.

"So we must take precautions. If the locust plague spreads to the Kingdom of Cleveland and the Maxim Federation buys a large amount of food, the consequences will be disastrous." Aslan continued to remind.

He has long wanted to purchase grain on a large scale. It is impossible to rely on the Tianping Chamber of Commerce for small troubles. It must be led by the giants of the kingdom.

The Royal Academy of Magic is a good leader.

"It's up to you to deal with Yitzhak, buy as much grain as you have." Joshua said decisively.

Aslan breathed a sigh of relief. As for whether the impact of the locust plague would be changed, Aslan said with certainty.

"Won't!"

Even if the Royal Academy of Magic makes a move now, at most it can only meet the needs of the province of Cleveland. It is impossible to completely satisfy the several provinces controlled by the entire kingdom, because the food reserves do not have this condition.

Aslan has already asked Meriya to purchase food from many foreign countries. As for whether they will face a food crisis in the future, it is not something Aslan can consider. He only needs to ensure that the people in his territory will not starve to death. up.

Even after the possible outbreak of the locust plague in Aslan, the Duke of Medea has ordered the entire province of Melox to increase production, among which the Belgian region is the most obvious. A large number of large farms belonging to the Duke’s Mansion have sprung up like mushrooms, and 80% of the farmland in these farms belongs to Medea, the rest is given to the people who work on the farms to encourage them to work hard.

Coupled with the facilities of the farming war policy, if the locust plague does not break out, within three years, Melox Province can become a major agricultural province in the true sense. If it is combined with Aslan's agricultural industrialization, it will become the fifth agricultural province. Exporting countries are also no problem.

Of course, the most important thing is the growing industrial system in the Merlot region. As time goes by, this strength will be fed back to the Merlots province in all aspects.

When Yitzhak entered the palace and asked the little emperor to cooperate and help, Aslan returned to the Tianping Chamber of Commerce again. This time, he had just settled down when he got the news that the mark had risen steadily, and the price had reached 1 to the original price. 1.5 now.

After two days of violent smashing, Aslan had already consumed nearly 20 million marks and obtained more than 10 million gold coins, which had been secretly transferred to the Tianping Chamber of Commerce.

Aslan was not worried that the marks would overwhelm the gold coins, and Aslan continued to ask people to increase the exchange rate of the marks.

It's 1 to 3 directly.

As for the Markcoin-bound commodities of the Maxim Federal Chamber of Commerce, Aslan wasn't worried at all.

Because he mainly uses mark coins, although the mark coins are guaranteed to be strong, it makes the merchants and nobles who exchange gold coins even more crazy. They want to use the exchanged mark coins to buy bulk commodities from the Maxim Federation.

It was only at this time that Aslan realized that the real purpose of Maxim Federation's doing this was to cover their large-scale purchase of these goods in the country. Even if someone with a heart found out, they would only think that they were dealing with the financial war in Kyoto. In fact, more than two-thirds of the materials are stored in his warehouses in various places.

Since this is the case, Aslan wants to add another fire, directly take out 20 million marks to save in Maxim Federal Commercial Bank, and at the same time put forward the conditions for buying bulk commodities again.

This time, the number reported was even more exaggerated. He wished he could spend all the mark coins saved in the Maxim Federal Commercial Bank in one go, which scared Horns quite a bit.

"Your Excellency the Marquis, do you need to think about it carefully? After all, if you purchase such a large quantity, if the price of the materials drops, you will lose a lot."

Facing Horns' kind reminder, Aslan shook his head indifferently.

"Your Excellency, everyone knows that you don't speak dark words. After this battle in Kyoto, no matter whether your bank wins or loses, there will be no price cuts for these bulk commodities in the future, not to mention that your bank is completely based on the market price of the mainland. Purchasing these materials, at the current exchange price of the Kyoto mark, no matter how you buy them, you will not lose money, you will only earn more."

Hornston stopped persuading him immediately, and even started to actively introduce other businesses. After all, even the wealthy Maxim Federation would not be able to catch them if they wanted to acquire the resources of the entire continent. They would not refuse any extra funds to enter the market. .

Because Horns is very clear that these nobles are essentially no different from capitalists.

It's just that one is based on commerce, and the other is based on land agriculture.

They are all synonymous with greed.

As long as they have enough interests, they will never consider the misery of the people below.

In fact, there are not a few people in Kyoto who can see the plan of Maxim Federal Commercial Bank. For example, Patrick, although he really wants to win the duel between Kyoto Commercial Bank and Maxim Federal Commercial Bank, it does not prevent him from making money.

Patrick quickly united more than a dozen nobles in Kyoto, and began to purchase bulk commodities from the Maxim Federal Firm with marks. However, they did not pay as much attention to food as Aslan did, but instead focused on steel and magic crystals. Food was only incidental, and Not many.

For a while, the exchange rate of the mark rose instead of falling, and instead returned to the original 1:1.1, which made Horns burst into laughter.

According to this trend, in a few days, it will be a decisive battle between the two sides.
