Chapter 1377 Sudden Disaster
(Some readers asked if there was a third update in this book. No, definitely not. If there is, it must be dizziness.)
As the meeting continued, Zhang Hao began to introduce the details of the trade war.
Simply put, it is: dumping. Using the Minghui Empire and the Great Xia Empire as a springboard, a dumping trade war was launched against the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'a Empire.
But this kind of dumping is technical dumping.
The first is the elixir, which is a necessary resource in the world of practice, and it is also the easiest direction to make breakthroughs and attract attention.
Zhang Hao suggested that everyone should unify the price, but the price does not need to be too low. It can be about 80% to 50% of the price of Tianshui Empire and Tian'e Empire, and this ratio should be maintained at all times—but if the other party lowers the price, we will also lower the price; if the other party raises the price , we do not raise prices.
The first batch of elixirs were mainly concentrated below the level of Huashen. Dayang Group and now the Blue Star Group have achieved mass production of this level of elixir, and the cost price is almost 5% or even lower than that of the traditional method.
And with the victory of the war against the Sky Demon World, a large amount of resources have been obtained, and the cost price is still falling.
We have plenty of room for price reduction.
At the same time as the price is reduced, the purchase price of some local medicinal materials can be slightly increased; an increase of about 5% is very considerable. Unlike pills, the purchase price will not change.
Because if the purchase price continues to increase, the previous competitors may resell to themselves. Therefore, the purchase price is tentatively increased by 5%, and it is basically fixed; it will be fine-tuned later depending on the situation.
After Zhang Hao's explanation on the elixir was over, the deputy head of the Shaohua Sect, Jinxian Ziling Tianji, said, "I have a few questions."
"Senior, please."
"First, the Tian'e Empire is relatively honest for the time being, but I think Mr. Zhang is always talking about the Tian'e Empire, and even puts the Tian'e Empire on the same level as the Tianshui Empire. Is there something wrong?"
Zhang Hao looked at Ziling Tianji, and asked word by word: "May I ask if there is any connection between Shaohuazong and Tian'a Empire?"
Everyone's eyes focused on Ziling Tianji. Before he knew it, Zhang Hao already had the slight ability to influence the core meetings of the Blue Star Group.
Ziling Tianji frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Zhang Hao's attitude, but still replied: "No! Not at all, we don't even border each other.
The Shaohua Sect is located between the Tai'a Empire, the Nanfeihu Empire, and the Kyushu Empire, at the northern end of the 'Nine Traveling Constellation', tens of thousands of light-years away from the Tian'e Empire.
The reason why I want to ask is to ask whether Mr. Zhang is suspected of expanding the attack, or taking the opportunity to take revenge. "
Everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Hao again.
Zhang Hao nodded calmly, but he didn't explain Ziling Tianji's 'rhetorical question' at all, but said directly: "The reason why the Tian'e Empire is included is because the location of the Tian'e Empire is so coincidental that it is difficult to effectively avoid it." .If you deliberately avoid it, it will cause too many problems.
On the contrary, if the Tian'e Empire is included, things will be much simpler.
In addition, everyone underestimated the industrial production capacity of Bluestar Group. Just one Tianshui Empire is too small to start a trade war.
In the end, we are also surrounded by many great empires, and even the great empire of Sanyuan is paying attention. We must plan ahead. We cannot wait for others to attack before we respond passively.
Where there is a choice, we need to be proactive and weaken potential enemies.
In fact, although Tian'a Empire is relatively honest, there are many small tricks! "
Ziling Tianji immediately asked: "In addition to the Tian'e Empire, I would like to ask: Why does the purchase price of medicinal materials remain stable after only one increase, while the price of elixir continues to fall? Also, why the price of elixir does not drop directly?" to the lowest?"
Hearing this question, Zhang Hao sighed slightly: I said, where is your brain? I've been talking about it for a long time, but you didn't even understand this.
If the purchase price of medicinal materials increases a little, then I am not going to purchase; if I set a high price but do not purchase, this is to disrupt the other party's market;
The reason why the price of the elixir is not directly lowered to the minimum is for stability and not to cause a rebound. Understand the reason for boiling frogs in warm water; also, a little price reduction is also a benefit!
Taking Peiyuan Pill as an example, the cost price of the Foundation Establishment Pill of the Blue Star Group has been reduced to 88 yuan (the currency of Dayang Group), which is 0.88 low-grade spirit stones; the comprehensive cost price is about 150 yuan. The price of Dayang Group is even lower.
Within the Blue Star Group, the price of Peiyuan Pill does not exceed 10 low-grade spirit stones (1000 yuan)—almost all of them are profits.
The price of the excellent Peiyuan Pill in Interstellar is about one-twentieth of that of the Foundation Establishment Pill; the price of a Foundation Establishment Pill is about a piece of high-grade spirit stone.
In Interstellar, it is generally believed that the exchange ratio for upper, middle, and lower grade spirit stones is base 100; but in fact, one top-grade spirit stone can often be exchanged for more than two hundred middle-grade spirit stones.
For cultivation above the Realm of Returning to True Realm, top-grade spirit stones are required; for cultivation below the Realm of Returning to True Realm, it is more effective to use high-grade Spirit Stones. Therefore, the value of top-grade spirit stones has risen with the tide.
Calculated in this way, the price of an excellent Peiyuan Pill in Interstellar is at least 1,000 low-grade spirit stones.
The price gap is so wide that it is easy to cause too many problems if the price is directly reduced to the lowest level, and the price reduction is all profit.
But facing such a golden fairy, Zhang Hao still patiently explained it carefully.
After hearing this, Ziling Tianji couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "Profitable businessman! I only really understand how to write the word 'profiteer' now. Raise the price but not buy, hey, you really can come up with this trick!"
Zhang Hao laughed and said: "It's either not buying, or buying less. If you don't buy, how can others follow suit.
You see, we don't have enough funds, and the price of elixirs is also low, so we can only buy them in small batches. Those who want to sell medicinal materials to us depend on their own abilities. "
Huang Long and Zhang Hao got acquainted, but at this time he couldn't help but say: "Mr. Zhang, I can probably understand my thanks to Yan Bing now. Thanks to Dayang Group for not using these means on our own family."
Zhang Hao showed a humble smile.
Da Luo Jinxian Qiu Qianren also became interested: "We have figured out the problem of the pill. So the next item is the basic spiritual material?"
"No, it's more people's livelihood and foundation. The textile industry. It is said that the warehouse knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing are sufficient to know the honor and disgrace. For the majority of the practicing class, the elixir is the foundation. But for the general public, the people's livelihood is the foundation .
People's livelihood consists of four major components: food, clothing, housing and transportation. And the one that is closely related to industrial production capacity and the easiest to start with is 'clothing', that is, the textile industry.
A person, a civilized person, may not travel, may live in an earthen hut, and may have a simple meal, but he must always wear clothes. And the clothes are damaged faster.
Traditionally, the production of clothes is more cumbersome. Requires hand weaving. Hand-woven cloth has high cost, low output, inconsistent quality, few designs and colors, easy to decolorize and so on.
On the contrary, relying on our current technology, we can already produce cotton, linen, silk, wool, chemical fiber and other fabrics, including blended fabrics, with a wide variety, excellent quality, and bright colors that are not easy to fade.
Especially chemical fiber, which has high corrosion resistance, lower price, rich colors and beautiful colors, is the first choice of ordinary people.
You can imagine what will happen to the traditional textile industry when a large number of industrial textiles flood the market with lower prices and better quality.
The traditional textile industry is almost the basis for the survival of most ordinary people. "
When Zhang Hao said this, he stopped explaining. But many people at the scene were already a little pale.
At the beginning, everyone was skeptical about the trade war that Zhang Hao said.
But now, everyone is a little scared about this trade war. But after being terrified, everyone's eyes gradually brightened.
Following Zhang Hao's explanation, everyone has seen the huge benefits of the trade war. As a result, more and more people began to agree with the trade war. Zhang Hao also talked about his plan.
The plan has five main components: elixirs, textiles, basic spiritual materials and magic weapons, construction aid, and finally the currency system.
Aid construction sounds very heart-warming, but the aid construction here needs to be in quotation marks-the aid construction here actually has a taste of control. I built it, and I have the final say, which is equivalent to an alternative concession.
The last is the monetary system, which needs to be built on the basis of the first four items, mainly the current banking and financial system of the Blue Star Group.
At present, the financial system of the Blue Star Group has one major and one auxiliary: the main currency system is the White Tiger Coin, but the denomination of the White Tiger Coin is too large, and it is not very friendly to ordinary people; the subsequent currency system is supplemented by the currency system of the 'Star Bank' .
The currency system of the Star Bank fully borrows from the characteristics of the Dayang Group Lvzhou Bank. However, due to the arrogance of the masters of cultivation, Xingmang Bank only promoted the 'Lingyuan', which is equivalent to the value of a high-grade Lingshi.
Finally, there is an 'auxiliary' monetary system, which is the Lvzhou Bank, which is solely owned by Dayang Group.
Over the years, Dayang Group has become the most popular coin within the Blue Star Group due to its perfect and reasonable currency system. In fact, this coin is a bit strong, and in many cases it is even more popular than Lingyuan issued by Xingmang Bank.
Some people think that within the scope of the Blue Star Group, there should be a currency system of "one main and two sub"; the reason why it is said to be "one main and one auxiliary" is to take care of the face of the Star Bank. After all, Star Point Bank is also a branch of Blue Star Group; and Green Boat Bank has always been solely owned by Dayang Group.
In short, this time to retaliate against the Tianshui Empire and bring the Tian'a Empire along with it, Zhang Hao naturally planned to draw some benefits to his own family.
It's just that Zhang Hao is not the only smart person. Seeing that the benefits of the trade war will be beyond imagination, everyone has an idea.
No, Jinxian, Rong Guogong, Parachutist, and Jiang Shuyi of the Yujing Empire said: "Mr. Zhang, I have a question. If there is a trade war, then the commodity base must be established in the Minghui Empire and the Great Xia Empire.
These two countries will benefit a lot, and domestic industry and commerce will be greatly promoted and developed. Not to mention direct benefits.
But what about those of us who are far from the trade lines? I'm afraid I won't get as much bonus as I should get! "
Jiang Shuyi's words immediately aroused approval.
The situation went from one extreme to the other.
(Third is happier... no?)
