Chapter 295: Reasonable Rule Makes People Rich, but False Rule Makes Them Poorer
Doflamingo was laughing as he listened. The quality of this rainbow gem looked really good. There must be a lot of people interested in it.
"Of course the gem can be exchanged for Bailey. Just like gold, there is no need for anyone to promote and endorse it. This thing can be sold directly."
But what Sage said next made him a little creepy.
"What I mean is that it is equivalent to Bailey. It has a fixed value, and people on the sea recognize that it has this value."
Sage squinted his eyes, tilted his head slightly, grabbed a piece of boned meat, chewed and swallowed it all with skin and bones.
It was as if the food in his mouth was like the wealth on the sea, and he was about to swallow it all with his mouth open.
"Let's not talk about gold. You know diamonds, I actually think they are not valuable, but people on the sea think they are valuable. But whether it is gold or diamonds, they need to be exchanged for Bailey. As for the price in different places, it is different. What I said is that it is directly regarded as Bailey, and it can be used without exchange."
"For this reason, I don't need it to sell at a high price, just keep it stable, such as stabilizing 10 million Baileys, so that people on the sea think that this gem is worth 10 million Baileys."
No matter how beautiful something can be made at low cost, it is essentially worthless.
But Sager can make it valuable. In addition to selling it, the best way is to make a system of Bailey gems, the same as the Bailey gold system.
"Hehe, hehe, hehe, what do you want to do? Does Sager have such a way? Bailey, Bailey!"
Doflamingo knows what this matter can represent without having to explain it clearly.
Gemstone?
If this kind of low-cost thing can be used to represent Bailey, then no matter who it is, the gain is huge!
"It can be done!"
His mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear. "I can use my channels to determine the quality of this gemstone. I will give you 10 million Baileys. I will give you whatever you want! But, Sager. I don't want the output of rainbow gemstones. You have to give me 50%!"
No matter what kind of income, it is not comparable to the prospect described by Sager.
Money?
He is also a king. In Dressrosa, money is of little use to him. Rather than controlling money, it is better to say that he has also controlled various channels since he became the king of Dressrosa.
By pinching the channels, he secretly accumulates power.
If he has this thing, he will play a greater role in this channel.
Those important materials.
A few gems can be exchanged for them. This business is certainly possible.
Hearing this, Sager laughed twice and stretched out a finger, "10%."
"Hey, I'll take care of your business, so I'll pay for the initial work."
A vein popped out on Doflamingo's forehead, "Give me ten out of a hundred?"
"I can also pay for it. How about this? I'm very generous to my partners. As for materials, as long as I have them, I'll pay for half."
Sage said, "Weapons, ships, food, I'll pay for half of these things. The total cost will be controlled at 20 billion Baileys, and the rainbow gems will be turned into something linked to Baileys. Is that okay?"
"40%!" Doflamingo answered immediately, "You don't have business channels. Relying on your place alone, at most you can only attract people on this route. If you don't cause a stir worldwide, your progress will be very slow."
"10%, no matter how slow the progress is, my territory is getting bigger, it's just a matter of time." Sager said.
"30%, time is money, but if I help you, it will be much faster."
"15%, the product has been made, and the plan has been prepared. The next step is just how to do it, and it can be completed in any way. It's not just your channel that can do it. I remember Crocodile has already come out, and that guy is also good at doing business." Sager said lightly. "Hey, hey, he just wants to build a military power to protect himself. Now we don't know where it is. It will take a long time to recover. Why waste this time? Let's take a step back. 20%. I will help you complete this task. The cost is within 20 billion Baileys." Doflamingo smiled and said, "This task can be done within a year." "Deal." Sage asked B'Elana to pour wine for them, and then picked up his gem wine glass and raised it to Doflamingo, "Then, happy cooperation!" Doflamingo laughed so hard that his tongue drooped. He raised his wine glass and clinked it with Sage from a distance. After drinking it in one gulp, the two looked at each other and laughed. "Hahahaha!" "Hey, hey, hey!" The sky was not gloomy, but under this laughter, there was a lot of depression, which made B'Elana feel breathless. What is harvesting, what is Bailey equivalent, she didn't understand, but she always felt that her master seemed to be doing something big again.
Lily's eyes moved, she didn't say anything, just looked at Sager who was laughing.
Before that, she also asked Sager why he did this.
The answer was the quantity issue.
If you want to sell the rainbow gems at a high price, you have to strictly control the quantity, then it is not enough to be called an "industry". For such a large territory, if it cannot be used as an industry, it is useless and not enough for Sager to spend so much energy.
The materials are selected and the cost is determined. Is it just to produce a few hundred pieces and sell them?
How much can it sell for?
Even if it were sold at the same price as a devil fruit, it wouldn't sell for much.
Devil Fruits are really hard to come by, and Rainbow Gems are something that can be increased in quantity as Sag continues to increase his manpower.
You can't spread rumors about gems in the sea.
Collecting seven gems can summon a dragon and grant one's wishes.
Or is it that there are nine rainbow gems in the world, and if you dig a hole in the hilt and insert them, you can gain incredible natural power?
It's okay to lie to ghosts for that kind of thing, but the quantity will definitely not sell, and there are no Shenlongs. Kaido does have one, do you want it?
The only way is to completely stabilize the price of rainbow gems through hype and endorsement.
Sager has no interest in committing fraud and he doesn't want to get into trouble. He doesn't bother to do that.
Of course, the faster way is to price the rainbow gems at a very high price in the short term, and then defraud people of supplies, and then wait until the number of rainbow gems becomes too large and become worthless, and then there will be a complete thunderstorm.
But there is no need. Sager simply wants to establish another 'currency' of his own based on the currency of Bailey.
After all, gold can't be made, but he can make rainbow gems.
He is not interested in overthrowing Pele. This currency circulates throughout the sea. Even if the remaining closed countries do not use Pele, they still use gold to do transactions. Gold and Pele are linked, and stable currencies are also beneficial.
It's just a matter of linking it to a stable currency that belongs to him on top of this stable currency.
Of course, the landlord, Lao Cai, wants to control everything in his hands. If he can't control Bailey on the sea, he will create something out of thin air, associate it with Bailey, and control it in disguise.
When a rainbow gem is considered worth ten million by everyone on the sea and is carried around for trading, who dares to say that he does not control the currency?
Another kind of ‘gold’ is about to come out.
In addition to the rainbow gems, Sager has also finalized the trade of weapons and ships with Doflamingo. He will give one-third of this part of the business to Doflamingo.
Renedia has mastered Pluto's technology, and can disassemble some of it to get the best weapons and cannons.
For example, cannons that can be waterproofed and flintlock guns that can fire continuously.
These two technologies are available in the sea, but the quantity is very small, and the output cannot keep up. They are basically for personal use, and they can even be owned by a single character.
Even the navy still uses flintlock muskets that require one shot to replace gunpowder, and cannons that need to be covered with curtains to fire in rainy days.
This part is also the big one and is needed by everyone.
Zage is also fair to Doflamingo and only wants half of Doflamingo's profits.
"Hey, I heard that your subordinates only pay 40 in business tax." Doflamingo said unhappily.
"Okay, I'll pay your personal tax as well. If you're willing, I'll give you 40%."
One sentence made Doflamingo lose his temper at all.
"Hey, what do you want to do with so much money? The pirates I know are just occupying territory. Your palace is also great." Doflamingo asked with a smile.
Money is really useless once what you want is at your fingertips.
For food, drink, and accommodation, Sage now uses very luxurious things. There is also a courtyard inside the palace. The land he farms is made of gold, and the gem-encrusted hoe is full of nouveau riche vibes.
It also has the ability to produce weapons and ships, so it doesn't require so much money.
"You know what you're asking, of course you're going to rule the world!"
Sager said: "I don't like a shabby world. Otherwise, why would I bother to occupy Gareth? It would be the fastest to conquer the Beehive Island. Occupying this transportation thoroughfare will of course make the people under my command have a good life." , when their things are sold, they can make more money, spend more money, and make the environment more prosperous. The more prosperous it is, the more wealth I have. "
"This kind of world is suitable for me to rule. Instead of having to grab a bottle of wine from outside for a long time before I can get it, can't it come over on its own and donate it to me?"
"Let me tell you, a false and low-end rule will not care about the life and death of the people below, and then it will rule to make people poorer and poorer, and finally rule until they have no money."
"A reasonable, long-term, and increasingly prosperous rule can allow me to obtain everything in the world. If you don't take a good path, you choose a difficult one. Do you think I am a fool?"
Otherwise, if he relied on the power of Momo Fruit to blow up the island with one shot to see who was unhappy, that would be domination.
The void reigns.
After finalizing the weapons, the next step was to finalize the ship trade.
Regardless of whether it is an ordinary ship or a battleship, Sag will give Doflamingo one-third, and the remaining one-third will be sold by Gareth here, and the remaining third will be given to Link.
Let him open up new channels.
Of course, you can't just rely on Doflamingo for some things. He is a landlord, not a supplier. He must hold what he can hold in his hands.
Otherwise, who is working for whom?
But just a few days after he had finalized the decision to send Doflamingo away, an unexpected person came.
Crocodile came to the door.
