Chapter 1376 Trade War
In the venue, many eyes focused on Zhang Hao, including Daluo Jinxian, Jinxian, many angels, and even representatives of shareholders of Bluestar Group.
Regarding the issue of Tianshui Empire, everyone felt that it was difficult. It is not impossible to directly declare war, but there are obviously many problems. If you really want to directly declare war on the Tianshui Empire, the rest of the large empires will definitely take action. Everyone understands the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.
"Teachers are famous" can not be ignored in many cases. And the secret means cannot be used as an excuse to declare war. War, especially large-scale war, needs some 'bright excuse'.
Even the unfair treatment of one's own citizens can be used as an excuse. But problems at the espionage level cannot be used as an excuse.
To put it more bluntly, the key to declaring war on the Tianshui Empire is not the excuse of "being famous", but to find ways to prevent other empires from participating in the war and making it inconvenient to intervene.
This is the core meaning of "Teaching is famous"; otherwise, any excuses are meaningless.
This is also the case, the issue of spies cannot be used as an excuse; because everyone has spies, not to mention the boss, everyone is of the same color - they are all black, and they can't see the light; if you say that your spies are special, then I will Go back and check the domestic situation.
Especially the current situation of the Blue Star Group has made many great empires and powerful sects jealous. In this case, everyone's every move is magnified, and a little carelessness may lead to uncontrollable consequences.
While you are making excuses for others, others are also making excuses for you!
And once there is a large-scale war, the military power of the Blue Star Group will inevitably be involved; what if the Sky Demon World attacks again and the military power is not enough?
Although the gate of this world can bring wealth, if it cannot be suppressed, a fatal crisis will erupt.
The gate of this world is a different kind of crater, and it is still a very active active volcano; although it is rich in resources, if it is not handled properly, it will be a disaster.
You can't expect the monsters in the Heavenly Demon World to be "merciful" - in the face of the cultivators with great vitality, the practitioners in the Heavenly Demon World are definitely mice who love rice and can't stop eating one bite at a time.
This is not a competition within the Zhoutian galaxy, and if it doesn't work, they can still surrender. This is a real life and death showdown. Facing the pressure from the entire Heavenly Demon World, the Blue Star Group dare not relax in the slightest, and its military strength must always be kept at its peak.
Under such circumstances, although everyone hated the Tianshui Empire's methods, they had to be careful.
But it doesn’t work if you don’t deal with it—although the espionage matter can’t be put on the bright side, if you don’t deal with it, other countries will wait and feel that the Blue Star Group is just a straw bag, and anyone can go over and step on it.
So how to beat the Tianshui Empire is indeed a brain-consuming thing.
This is why so many masters sat down obediently and listened to Zhang Hao beeping on it. Because everyone really can't think of a better way.
Zhang Hao naturally seized this opportunity and regarded this place as the stage of Dayang Group.
Facing Tai Shuye's question, Zhang Hao explained calmly: "In fact, everyone can think of it this way. At present, apart from the scope of influence of the Blue Star Group, everyone's understanding of the economy is still relatively simple. This is our opportunity.
If we can snipe this, we can easily crush a huge empire! "
"I think the development of the past ten years is the best interpretation of the importance of the economy.
An economy that develops naturally is a fragile structure. Unlike practice, as long as there are masters in charge of the practice system, it can basically guarantee stability.
The pinnacle of cultivation lies in the hands of master practitioners. Form a pyramid structure from top to bottom. If low-level practitioners want to climb the peak, they can only rely on high-level practitioners and practice hard on their own.
But the economy is not good, and everyone has their own interests. We all know the saying: Cutting off a person's wealth is like killing one's parents. Wealth is the basis for everyone's survival. At the national level, it is the 'economy'.
Although the pinnacle of the economy is in the hands of a few, more can be obtained through trade, plunder, and deception.
Compared with the step-by-step practice, changes in wealth and economy always have a chaotic and crazy side. The free economic system that has not been adjusted and sorted out is particularly prominent.
And that's what the trade war is about. "
After Zhang Hao's words fell, everyone was thoughtful, and many people were also looking at each other; many people were already sweating a little bit behind their backs.
Everyone is not stupid, but there are some things that I didn't think of for a while. But with Zhang Hao's explanation, coupled with the development of the past ten years, everyone suddenly came to their senses.
Thinking about how they have traded with Dayang Group at ease these years, with little defense, representatives of many small and medium-sized countries turned pale.
Fortunately, fortunately, everyone belongs to the Blue Star Group.
After a while, another Da Luo Jinxian sitting here, Nan Feihu Empire Golden Wolf King Qiu Qianren said, "If there is a trade war, what should I do? How long is it expected to be effective: what kind of effect can be achieved?" Effect?"
Zhang Hao said without hesitation: "Before talking about the trade war, we must first explain the economy and trade.
The economy of a large empire is like the sea; if you want to fight against the sea, you can only use the sea;
To fight against one country's economy, you can only use another country's economy.
This is a confrontation of the whole nature.
In addition, unlike traditional wars, trade wars do not have a definite and visible battlefield, nor a tangible direction of attack, let alone an army in the traditional sense. If it must be explained, it is the collision of the comprehensive national strength of the two countries.
In this kind of collision, wisdom cannot be ignored, but what is more important is the competition of comprehensive national strength. It's a head-on collision with little room for trickery. The strong will demand from the weak.
And in this world of practice, a master of practice is also a representative of wealth. We must prevent the opponent from jumping over the wall in a hurry, such as various privateers.
Therefore, in order to attack the economy of the Tianshui Empire, large-scale trade was required. This scale of trade will involve at least two huge empires.
In this starry sky, there are four great empires. Two of them belong to the Blue Star Group: the Minghui Empire and the Great Xia Empire. Then there are the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'a Empire. "
Zhang Hao drew a circle on the star map with his fingers, marking the positions of the four empires (different symbols represent the territories of each country):
[………&Tianshui Empire&
Minghui##天阿帝国￥
Empire####***￥￥
...... **Great Xia Empire*]
Zhang Hao drew a circle on the map (so familiar), pointed to the four empires and continued: "If you want to launch a trade war against the Tianshui Empire, the Minghui Empire is not enough.
In order to form a scale, and considering the positional relationship of the four empires, my suggestion is to launch a trade war against the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'a Empire at the same time.
Using the Minghui Empire and the Great Xia Empire as a springboard, they gathered the wealth and power of the entire Blue Star Group to launch a tsunami-style trade war against the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'a Empire. Destroyed two empires in one fell swoop.
The time may take ten years or even longer. "
Qiu Qianren frowned slightly, thinking about this unprecedented trade war, he was a little frightened: "Zhang Hao, you mean that the trade war is a direct collision between two empires, and there is no room for relaxation, right?"
"If we decide to start a trade war, then no. Once any war starts, it's not easy to end."
"But the art of war says that if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. What is our loss in this kind of collision?"
The corner of Zhang Hao's mouth showed a little confidence: "Senior, don't worry. The biggest feature of the trade war is: the loss is not enough to give more! The strong will become stronger through the blood-sucking effect; the weak will only gradually become weak, and finally die of weakness."
"But what you said is all theoretical! Does Dayang Group have relevant experience?"
"Yes!" Zhang Hao said with certainty, "Actually, at the beginning of Dayang Group's rise, we used similar tactics in Tianyuanxing. Later, we used similar tactics when facing the Golden Eagle Empire and other partners."
At this moment, the way many people looked at Zhang Hao changed.
With a confident smile on the corner of Zhang Hao's mouth, he continued: "But because we are all partners, we didn't do things absolutely, but stopped when enough was enough, and even provided assistance. That's why Blue Star's trading system today was formed.
But what if Dayang Group doesn't help? "
Scanning around slowly, Zhang Hao looked at Xiang Yanbing, the representative of the Golden Eagle Empire and the former Prime Minister, and his tone seemed a little more sinister: "You can refer to the experience of the Golden Eagle Empire.
After cooperating with Dayang Group, because the price of elixir was pushed to the limit, a large number of alchemists lost their jobs, and the entire traditional alchemy system collapsed. From medicinal material suppliers to final elixir sellers, almost one-tenth of the people in the entire empire were affected. affected.
It's just that the Dayang Group injected capital and technology at the right time, and jointly established the elixir industry chain with the Golden Eagle Empire, surviving the crisis and bringing the Golden Eagle Empire to a new peak.
There are also primary spiritual materials and low-level magic weapons. Due to the entry of industrial technology, the prices of low-level spiritual materials and low-level magic weapons have been greatly reduced, which almost caused the bottom-level manufacturing industry of the Golden Eagle Empire to collapse.
However, Dayang Group also injected capital and technology at the right time, and joined forces with the Golden Eagle Empire to create a brand new industrial system.
There are many similar ones, so I won't list them one by one.
In this regard, I think Representative Xiang Yanbing has the most say. "
Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Xiang Yanbing. Facing the gazes of many angels, golden immortals, and even Da Luo Jinxian, Xiang Yanbing did not have such thick nerves as Zhang Hao, and cold sweat soaked his clothes in an instant.
Qiu Qianren spoke, "Xiang Yanbing, tell me."
Xiang Yanbing took a deep breath and stood up slowly, "What Mr. Zhang said... Actually, we also had discussions internally. The result of the discussion is that if Dayang Group hadn't provided timely assistance every time, the Golden Eagle Empire might have declined already."
Having said that, Xiang Yanbing glanced at Zhang Hao, hesitated before saying: "I said something that might cause everyone to misunderstand, but now that I think about it, after the war, after the signing of the peace agreement, during the transaction with Dayang Group, It can be said that every day is walking on the edge of the cliff.
Our safety, our future, and our hope all depend on the tolerance of Dayang Group.
Taking basic medicinal materials and elixir as an example, Dayang Group can purchase medicinal materials at a slightly higher price and monopolize the medicinal material market; then sell elixir at a relatively low price to monopolize the basic elixir market. This drives out competitors.
When all the competitors are down, the Golden Eagle Empire's basic medicine market will be the Dayang Group.
And because Dayang Group's basic medicine cost is very low, they can easily do it. You can even reap unimaginable wealth. What Dayang Group paid was only a little technical cost.
If the Dayang Group does this, they can reap the wealth of the Golden Eagle Empire time and time again like cutting leeks.
In terms of medicinal materials and elixir, spiritual materials and magic weapons, basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation, the Jin Empire has little power to resist. Especially in post-war situations. "
Everyone thought about the situation of the Golden Eagle Empire, and their complexions changed a little.
Xiang Yanbing took a deep breath and continued, "In general, we are grateful to Dayang Group for their mercy. Therefore, we also agree with the horror of the trade war.
It is very fortunate that Dayang Group has never released the monster of the trade war; it is even more fortunate to have the opportunity to fight side by side with Dayang Group.
Seniors and fellow Taoists, I am sure that the horror caused by a complete trade war will surely exceed everyone's imagination! "
