Chapter 69 Competition for Mineral Resources

Two months later, a fleet much larger than the reinforcement fleet sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce slowly left the Xinfei Port.

In addition to the large number of reinforcements and materials sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there are also cooperative personnel from a total of eleven countries including the Candela Empire, the Maro Empire, the Kingdom of Lampari, the Kingdom of Rulson, and the Duchy of Drake. Some supplies.

After the last meeting, there were only these eleven countries that finally decided to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to enter the New World for development, accounting for less than a quarter of the representative countries that participated in the meeting at that time.

This is also normal. After all, except for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, no one else knows much about this new continent that suddenly appeared. Of course, it is impossible to come up and invest a lot.

This time, the eleven countries sent only a very simple investigation team, and the materials they sent were also only some living materials that were nominally used to support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, without any specific meaning.

So in fact, the most important part of this much larger fleet is from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself.

Xu Yike is not like those countries who are still hesitating. Through the continuous exploration of the exploration team in front of him for a year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has a certain understanding of the situation on the Moyun Continent. Xu Yi has already determined the development of the new continent. plan.

This time the reinforcement fleet not only included a large number of personnel and supplies, but also dispatched a full 3,000 Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escorts, as well as military magic machines full of two large cargo magic ships. In order to be able to build a frontline base smoothly.

Of course, in order to truly take root in the New World, this base still needs to undertake heavy tasks.

Because there is a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers between the two continents, and it takes nearly a month for the fleet to travel, it is impossible for the base on the Moyun Continent to completely rely on the supplies delivered by the Sainz Continent. You have to try to be as self-sufficient as possible.

Therefore, according to Xu Yi's plan, a complete small-scale industrial base must be established in this base, which is sufficient to meet various needs in the base.

The most basic needs are living materials and some military magic machinery.

And want to meet the needs of these two aspects. It means that the base must obtain enough resources from the local area of ​​Moyun Continent.

Of course, these resources cannot fall out of thin air.

According to the agreement reached between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Sansas Elf Tribe and the Carrom Dwarf Tribe, these two tribes will help the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce obtain some resources in the early stage to meet the early needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce base.

However, the strength of these two tribes is limited, and it is impossible to meet the increasingly powerful requirements of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

So it comes down to it. It is still necessary for Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to obtain it by itself.

But if you want to obtain resources, you must face all kinds of expected and unexpected dangers on the Moyun Continent, so you need enough military support. Simply put, you need enough escorts And military magical machinery.

And this, it is also impossible to completely rely on the support of the headquarters of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the mainland of Sainz. Still need to solve it by myself.

So to put it bluntly, it is extremely difficult to establish a complete branch base tens of thousands of kilometers away from the main base of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and Xu Yi cannot be 100% optimistic about it.

But he had to do this, because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wanted to gain enough space for development, and this brand new continent was a far more suitable place than the continent of Baines.

The deepest reason is that the Sainz continent is already a continent with a basically fixed form, and all the land and resources have long been divided up by other countries.

It will be extremely difficult for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to get involved—especially in this time period when the magic industry is becoming more and more developed, and various countries are paying more and more attention to related resources.

One month after the reinforcement fleet left. Including the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, a total of forty-six chambers of commerce mainly engaged in mineral resources on the Sainz continent announced to the outside world that they will jointly establish a joint mineral resources conference to integrate and cooperate with all mineral resources under their names, and unify operating standards.

This is the first time an organization of this nature has appeared on the continent of Sainz, so when this organization called the Chino Mineral Resources Joint Organization Agreement Conference, referred to as the Chino Federation, was just announced, many people did not understand what they were. is to do.

However, several things that happened in the next half month told others the answer to this question.

The Chino Federation first announced that they would integrate the iron ore resources operated by the chamber of commerce under their name. In order to ensure the stability and controllability of mineral resources, the mineral prices of all chambers of commerce under the name of the Chino Federation will be uniformly formulated.

After research, the Chino Federation officially announced the initially determined price.

Then everyone found that compared to the previous prices of various mineral resources. The prices proposed by the Chino Federation have all been increased, and the iron ore with the largest demand has been increased by as much as 15%!

And the demand is also huge, but the price of the magic crystal, which has not received much attention because the price has been very low before, has also increased by a full ten percent, officially breaking through one gold coin per ton.

This price increase. Of course, the most affected ones are the various magic machinery chambers of commerce headed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which have the greatest demand for these mineral resources.

Although it seems that it has only increased by more than ten percent, it has actually greatly increased the manufacturing costs of these magic machinery guilds, directly weakening their profits.

The profit margin of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always been very high, which is not fatal to them, but for those small chambers of commerce, it has further weakened their already not high profits, and has even directly affected the survival of many small chambers of commerce. .

In order to continue to keep costs low, many small chambers of commerce began to purchase mineral resources from mineral resources chambers of commerce other than the Chino Federation.

However, these chambers of commerce under the name of the Chino Federation control almost all the mineral resources in most of the southern and central countries of the Sainz continent, including the Candela Empire. There are several countries competing in the southeast of the Enns continent, making it difficult for them to obtain sufficient mineral resources through other channels.

Therefore, the establishment of the Chino Federation almost announced the death of many small-scale magic machinery chambers of commerce.

Xu Yi was very unhappy about this.

In February 3781 in the continental calendar, that is, three months after the Chino Federation announced its establishment and announced the new price of mineral resources, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced to the public that out of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce’s own needs, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be under its name An additional chamber of commerce was established, named Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce.

As the name suggests, the main business of this Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce is all kinds of mineral resources.

In the news announced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stated that the purpose of establishing this chamber of commerce is mainly because as the scale of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gradually expands, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has an increasing demand for various mineral resources. It is not suitable to purchase all kinds of minerals through other channels, so I decided to solve this problem by myself.

But as long as you are not a fool, you can see that the establishment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce, is obviously directed at the Chino Federation.

Prior to this, although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had some mineral resources in its own name, in fact, most of the mineral resources were purchased directly from other mineral chambers of commerce.

In the early days, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mainly purchased from the Falcao Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari.

Later, with the expansion of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the demand for mineral resources increased, coupled with the rapid development of the magic industry in the Kingdom of Lampari, the internal demand for various mineral resources also increased significantly, so the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce began to turn to obtained in other ways.

Among these channels, the most important ones are actually from various chambers of commerce under the name of the Chino Federation.

Now the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suddenly announced the establishment of the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce, making it clear that it wants to fight against the Chino Federation. Doesn't it mean that the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the chambers under the name of the Chino Federation has broken down?

However, the Chino Federation controls almost all the mineral resources in the southern and central parts of the mainland. If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not cooperate with them, where will it get enough mineral resources?

In mid-February, the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce officially announced its establishment. At the same time, it announced to the public the 17 mines it has mastered and are already in the mining state, indicating that the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce now has enough mineral resources to provide, and welcomes outside orders.

Once the news was announced, there was an uproar in the outside world.

Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been trying to control some mineral resources by itself. Many people know this, but it is really surprising that it has controlled so much.

What is even more surprising is the prices of various mineral resources announced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Taking iron ore as an example, the price announced by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is 7 gold coins and 40 silver coins per ton.

But if compared with the iron ore announced by the Chino Federation, this price is nearly 20% lower!

If people thought that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce established the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce in opposition to the Chino Federation, it was still a guess in everyone's mind.

Now that the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce has announced such a mineral price, it is completely tantamount to telling everyone that I want to fight against the Chino Federation!

Everyone was amazed by this.

Why does Xinfei Chamber of Commerce do this?

If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the most powerful chamber of commerce in the magic industry, no one will doubt it.

However, in the mining industry, where does the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce come from?

You must know that the Chino Federation does not only represent the forty-six mineral resources chambers of commerce including the Chimera Chamber of Commerce. Behind them, they are inseparable from a large number of countries including the Candela Empire. (~^~)
