Chapter 70 Don't Get Involved

It's not over yet.

About four months after the establishment of the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce, the Vale Valley Chamber of Commerce, the largest mineral resources chamber of commerce in the Marlow Empire, and 36 other mineral resources chambers of commerce jointly issued a statement to jointly establish a mineral resources integration organization similar to the Chino Federation , called the Valley Mineral Coordination Association, referred to as the Valley Coordination Association.

The Vale Valley Chamber of Commerce is the chamber of commerce that controls the most mineral resources in the Maro Empire. Together with the other 36 mineral resource chambers of commerce, they almost control almost all the mineral resources in the northern part of the Sainz continent.

Although it is slightly inferior to the mineral resources under the name of the Chino Federation, it is still similar.

The purpose of the establishment of the Valley Coordinating Association is even more obvious than that of the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce, which is to compete with the Chino Federation.

Unlike the Xinfei Mineral Chamber of Commerce, which everyone feels is far inferior in strength, the Valley Coordinating Association has united almost all the mineral resources in the Candela Empire and dozens of countries in the north. All courts stand against each other.

And because of the background behind these two organizations, this undoubtedly represents another frontal confrontation between the Maro Empire and the Candela Empire.

It's just that before that, if there was a confrontation between the two empires, other countries and organizations on the mainland could only choose to stand in line and support them, and there was no way to make their own voices. But this time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce came out. Suddenly, a new Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce stepped in and made a really different voice.

For many people, they certainly hope that the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce can truly confront the Chino Federation and the Valley Coordination Association, which will be of great help to many small countries.

But in the hearts of the vast majority of people, they are not optimistic about the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce at all.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stands behind the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has become extremely powerful on the Sains Continent, even the two empires have to be cautious.

But scruples do not mean fear. In the past, the two empires had scruples about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It was because they wanted to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so they were unwilling to break the relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

So this does not mean that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is really stronger than the two empires.

After all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce. Of course, the various resources it controls cannot be compared with the two empires.

Even if the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce has a large amount of mineral resources beyond people's imagination, it is undoubtedly far from the two organizations that have the two empires and the countries that support them.

What people need to wait is just to see how long the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce can last.

The continental calendar is July 3781. It’s the hottest part of the year again. The high-profile Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce suddenly announced that due to the breakthrough in the research of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the automation of metallurgical refining, several steel factories under the name of the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce The output has been greatly improved, and the total output is expected to exceed 600,000 tons per month.

Compared with the previous Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's output of about 300,000 to 400,000 tons per month, this output has nearly doubled!

Announced by the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce. Due to the substantial increase in output, the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce can produce more steel for sale, and actively welcomes other chambers of commerce that need refined steel to come to order and negotiate.

Just half a month before this, the Chino Federation just announced that they have completed the integration of the mineral resources of the various chambers of commerce under their name, and have successfully developed a whole new set of magic steel smelting equipment through independent research. , It is expected to carry out large-scale promotion in various chambers of commerce under the name within this year, thereby greatly increasing the steel production of the Chino Federation.

According to estimates, once the chambers of commerce under the name of the Chino Federation complete the replacement of the magic steel smelting device, the annual steel output of the Chino Federation will most likely exceed 30 million tons.

compare. The output of 600,000 tons per month announced by the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly insignificant.

However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the first chamber of commerce to own a steel factory, and it is also the first chamber of commerce to implement steel refining. It has already researched and developed the smelting and research of many different types of steel. Currently, it has a total of 17 types of steel smelting methods. For all special demands on steel.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce later transferred part of the steel smelting technology to other chambers of commerce dealing in minerals and sold a large number of magic steel smelting devices, everyone admitted that the steel smelted by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was undoubtedly of the best and highest quality.

So although the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce only announced that it has increased part of its production, the total production is far less than that of the Chino Federation. But it was still very popular, and countless orders flew in in an instant.

You know, before that, most of what Xinfei Chamber of Commerce smelted just now was used to provide to itself to meet the needs of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to produce magic machinery. Only a very small amount is sold.

Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to sell a large amount of steel, why not rush to grab it.

At the beginning of September, the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce released the data again.

According to statistics, the total steel output of the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce in August exceeded 800,000 tons, exceeding expectations by as much as 30%.

Among the 800,000 tons of refined steel, Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce left 300,000 tons of steel to meet the needs of various chambers of commerce under the name of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The remaining 500,000 tons of steel products were all sold out.

At the same time, the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce also announced that they have reached an agreement with seven countries including the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom and the Principality of Wales to acquire a total of twelve mines in these seven countries, including four iron mines, three A non-ferrous metal vein, and five magic crystal mines.

As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar again.

People thought that under the control of the Chino Federation and the Valley Coordinating Association, there should be no free resources for mad battles on the entire Sains Continent, but now the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce has acquired twelve in one go. veins.

Although this is still not comparable to the two major mining associations, it means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not helpless, and the two major mining associations do not really control the entire Sainz continent.

Once this news was announced, people's confidence in the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce suddenly increased.

However, the Chino Federation and the Valley Coordination Council quickly launched a counterattack.

At the end of September, the Chino Federation once again announced an increase in the price of iron ore, breaking the price per ton to four gold coins per ton.

The price is pretty subtle.

Because although the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce currently controls several iron mines, in fact, the current main business of the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce is only the smelting of various steel products and non-ferrous metals. As for the specific mineral collection, it is limited to manpower and previous accumulation. , It is not enough to meet the needs of Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce itself.

So in fact, the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce still has to purchase a large amount of ore from other sources to meet the smelting needs. The most important source is the various chambers of commerce under the name of the Chino Federation.

So now that the Chino Federation has raised the price of iron ore again, it will undoubtedly significantly increase the steel smelting cost of the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, the price of four gold coins per ton will just make the profit obtained by the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce from smelting iron ore very meager, or even almost no profit.

And at the same time, the Chino Federation also adjusted the selling price of steel under its own name, reducing it by nearly 20% in one breath, and the price per ton even fell below 20 gold coins.

With such a price, it can almost be said that the Chino Federation itself has become less profitable in steel smelting.

And the most important thing, this price has an extremely obvious advantage compared to the price of 27 to 30 gold coins per ton of refined steel set by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Three days after the Chino Federation announced the price adjustment, the Valley Coordinating Council also announced the price adjustment strategy, basically keeping pace with the Chino Federation.

Of course, this is not something that the two organizations have negotiated, but since the Chino Federation has made such adjustments, the Valley Coordinating Association can only keep up, otherwise they will fall into a great passive situation.

But everyone is very clear that the sharp price adjustment of the Chino Federation is obviously not aimed at the Valley Coordinating Association, but is clearly aimed at the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce.

The Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce, or the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, has a relatively small accumulation after all, and is an obvious weakness in mineral mining, so it has to be controlled by others in terms of ore supply, so the Chino Federation raised the price of ore.

However, in steel smelting, the advantageous project of the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce, the Chino Federation did not hesitate to let itself lose a lot of profits and lower the price significantly. Obviously, it is forcing the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce to lower prices, in order to suppress Xinfei Mining. Chamber of Commerce profits.

This is not a conspiracy, but it is clear that it is relying on itself to be far larger than the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce, with a deeper foundation, and to bully the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce with its hard power.

The purpose, of course, is to drive the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce out of the mineral resources industry.

In the view of the Chino Federation, the emergence of the Valley Coordinating Association is not surprising, but the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce is an unexpected exception.

Moreover, the strength of the Valley Coordination Association is similar to that of the Chino Federation. Of course, it is impossible to solve it in a short while, so the top priority is naturally to drive out the troublemaker Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce, and then compete with the Valley Coordination Association.

This purpose is so obvious that the president of the Chino Federation publicly stated in a press conference held by the outside world that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should honestly stay in the magic machinery industry that it is good at. They should not be involved in industries that do not belong to them.

The response from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce... was once again no response. (~^~)
