Chapter 783: A Booming Trading City
No one expected that there would be so many airships in the Holy Tree Territory. As time approached, there were more and more airships in the sky. All the airships were of the same model, but with various patterns.
Some people even took out the hummingbird fighters they bought and showed them off, which could be seen from time to time in the sky. After all, it was the first time to get such a means of transportation, and many people wanted to show off.
It was also because the wealth accumulated by the major chambers of commerce in the Holy Tree Territory was too amazing before, otherwise there would not be so many. When the airships in the sky gradually decreased, the number of airships staying in the city reached tens of thousands per pound.
If the entire city was not an airport, so many airships would not be able to fit. In order to park these airships, even the places outside the city that were re-divided to build a new city were filled. This is the first large-scale trade. In the future, this scale may become larger and larger. It seems that the entire city needs to be well planned.
When all parties learned the news here, they were almost scared to death. This transaction was much more popular than they thought.
"Damn it, why are the people from the Shopping Alliance here? Aren't they only doing business in the Holy Tree Territory? They actually came out to compete with us for business. This is really too much."
These merchants are also in competition with each other, so of course they don't want to see them coming.
In the same airship team, the young person in charge came out and said calmly: "The Kingdom of Maro is right next to the Holy Tree Territory. What's the difference between it and the Holy Tree Territory? Besides, we do local business because we have our stores locally. We are about to build a new store in this place, so this is also our trading point."
The so-called Shopping Alliance is the special chamber of commerce alliance that created a new era of online shopping. At this time, this alliance has expanded to all aspects of the Holy Tree Territory in a very short time, and its influence is very huge.
"Aren't you always very timid, afraid of getting into danger after coming out?"
"Haha, we are not timid, we just don't want the things our customers buy to be at risk. The Kingdom of Maro is very close to the Holy Tree Territory, and we can notify the army to come to the rescue at any time when we encounter danger."
The young person in charge did not care about the sarcasm and hostility in other people's words. Looking around, the person in charge said loudly: "And every time we come here, a large number of airships are dispatched together, and there is absolutely no problem with safety."
This seems to be a surrender, but when they saw some caravan customers coming out of the airship, everyone understood that this was advertising, yes, that's the word. This is to tell others that their chamber of commerce is very safe.
Although it looks a bit soft, it is undoubtedly very reassuring for civilians and ordinary businessmen. The merchants who came with the chamber of commerce are not only from the chamber of commerce, but also some who can't buy airships and can only buy tickets. Now the shopping alliance has also begun to undertake some business in transporting customers.
"Being timid is being timid. If you are so timid, your business will basically end here."
The young person in charge didn't care: "Yes, we will stop here. We all run shops, so of course we will not be responsible for transporting goods everywhere. If we want to go to other countries and regions around us, it depends on you."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They were really worried that the shopping alliance would continue to spread, and then they would have no way to survive. And the people in the shopping alliance are not fools.
Although they are strong, they are not strong enough to go against all merchants. It is very good to be able to occupy some interests in the Holy Tree Territory and the surrounding areas.
If you want to intervene in everything, it will only lead to a joint counterattack from other merchants. Each of these merchants is not very strong, but if they unite, even their current Chamber of Commerce Alliance will definitely not be their opponent.
Besides, the real largest chamber of commerce in the Holy Tree Territory is the Chamber of Commerce Alliance left by Chi Nan before. Now this chamber of commerce belongs entirely to Chi Nan. It is an official organization responsible for formulating trading rules and quality inspections for all merchants. If the commotion gets too big, when the Holy Tree Territory Chamber of Commerce mobilizes its forces, they won't be able to withstand it.
The Shopping Alliance didn't pay attention to the others, but started to build houses in the place they had already acquired. They even specially invited natural mages, bought drugs to promote the growth of seeds, and planted tree house shops here.
The shops rose up one after another, indicating that the power of the Shopping Alliance had already reached this place.
Others rolled their eyes. There was no way, who made their power weak. The merchants were scattered sand. Unless they were forced into a desperate situation, they would never unite.
While the people of the Holy Dragon Empire had not arrived yet, merchants from the Kingdom of Maro and some surrounding kingdoms had already entered this place. They had heard about the trade zone opened here a long time ago, so how could they let it go casually?
This trading zone was originally located on the border of the Kingdom of Maro. This was also deliberately set up by the Kingdom of Maro to prevent people from making trouble in their own country. Not far away, there were several military districts stationed, with ten airship formations in them. Of course, these airships were only second-generation airships, but the deterrent power was enough.
In addition, there are some first-generation missiles installed on the ground, aimed at the sky at all times. Even the Holy Dragon Empire would not dare to send its troops here to cause trouble. This is the protection given to the Kingdom of Maro in the agreement.
When a large number of merchants entered, the sound of bargaining began to resound. The transaction here adopts the bidding method, but there are still some people who buy and sell in small quantities, so bargaining is not uncommon.
In bulk transactions, even the buyers and sellers cannot see each other, and they don’t know who sells the goods or who gets the goods sold, avoiding fighting and plotting against each other.
Because of the system, the transactions between the two parties are relatively fair, at least there are no major problems.
Before the arrival of the people from the Holy Dragon Empire, the real bulk sales had not yet become completely popular, but the transaction volume was not small at all. Every transaction must be registered and taxed.
So a large amount of tax revenue began to flow into the hands of the tax officials of the Maro Kingdom, and the tax officials widened their eyes and looked incredible. Originally thought that coming here meant that the kingdom gave up on itself, but I didn’t expect that the income here would be so great.
At this time, the flying boat in the sky finally appeared, and the noble caravan of the Holy Dragon Empire arrived.
