Chapter 988: Lower the Price
The words fell.
Everyone's eyes moved, and their brows showed thoughts.
Their empire's inventory was already large, but they still persisted for five or six days. What about the other two major forces?
Like a world government?
They are also selling large quantities of bombs these days. It is impossible for them to spend large amounts of iron ore before. Buy countless raw materials.
Based on this inference, the world government may be facing a problem with them, that is, the wholesale price is too expensive.
They sell bombs, and they originally rely on the bomb-making methods to transfer iron ore, but people have raised the price of raw materials, so they can transfer less.
Moreover, if this development continues, the price of raw materials will definitely rise steadily in the future.
In order to make a profit, they naturally had to keep increasing the price of bombs. As a result, they took the blame, and most of the iron ore was made by others.
below.
"Your Majesty, we need so much iron ore to buy raw materials. Others will naturally need this price to buy it. Now it is not just us who want to lower the price."
Prime Minister Zuo stood up.
"In this way, we can join forces with other forces to drive down material prices and ensure our own interests."
Following Prime Minister Zuo's words, some people also came forward one after another.
"Your Majesty, the world government should be facing the same problem as us now. They have been selling a lot of bombs these days, and the raw materials for bombs must be scarce."
"Although the Empire and the World Government have enmity, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. I suggest that we cooperate with the World Government to keep the price down and ensure that we can earn iron ore from it."
"Your Majesty, if their wanton price increases are not curbed, our bombs may be in the awkward position of not being able to be sold in the future. Then what we spent millions of gold iron ore to buy is just a piece of waste paper."
"I second the proposal!"
Many people understand this in an instant.
"Perhaps... we can also unite with the business alliance."
3333 pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly: "The Merchant Alliance sells a large number of bombs, much more than the Empire and the World Government."
"Even if the other party had the foresight to purchase a large amount of raw materials for bombs, they would have been used for so long, and they would have been almost exhausted."
"So, not only can the world government be brought into an alliance, but also the business alliance can be brought into the water. In this way, it may not be difficult for the three major forces to work together to lower the price."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Below, many people shouted loudly, which greatly benefited 3333.
…………
3333 is indeed right, the world government has indeed fallen into this problem.
But they have noticed it for a long time and are already thinking of countermeasures.
But nothing was gained!
As a survivor, if you really want to lower the price of something, there are many ways, which are not difficult for modern people.
The simplest way.
Use a large amount of iron ore to impact the bomb raw material market, causing the market to collapse, and naturally the price can be reduced.
But there is a drawback to this.
The price of bomb raw materials is too high, only fifty kilograms of iron ore a share, and there are many such things in the entire Sky Island World.
If you want to hit the market, you must use a large amount of iron ore.
The World Government and the 3333 Empire were automatically excluded. Their warehouses were empty due to purchasing bomb making methods. The sale of bombs in the past few days has only allowed them to recover a little.
But just as the Imperial Alliance was having a headache, they were thinking about how to keep the price down.
"Didi!"
The private message sounded, and the World Government representative opened the private message attentively.
5544: "I am the representative of the empire. I was recently promoted to the rank of Sixth Minister 5544. This time, I represent the empire and I have something to discuss with the world government."
When the World Government representative saw this, his expression tightened.
He naturally knew the empire the other party was talking about.
Not many people dare to call the empire that way now, and since the two sides fought a war some time ago, they naturally know each other better.
"What's the matter? You said you are a representative of the empire. What credentials do you have? There are also some pranksters who like to entertain people like this."
The representatives of the World Government believe it in their hearts, but they still want to make sure why 3333, a hostile force, suddenly contacted them.
5544: "I am the Minister of the Six Books. If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate. I never lie."
5544: "However, I now have to talk to someone who has the right to speak in the world to discuss a matter. If there is a delay, you cannot afford it."
5544 was not polite.
Although he is the representative of the World Government, in their respective forces, he has a higher position than the other party, and the other party can only be regarded as a person who observes the movements of the world channel.
When the representatives of the World Government heard this, they felt a little angry, but they did not dare to neglect and hurried to the headquarters building.
…………
Headquarters building.
The five elders sat at the top with expressionless faces, while the large number of people sitting below them all had sad faces.
These days.
The bombs sold out, and everyone on their empty island was happy, but then naturally there was a shortage of raw materials.
After asking, they found out that the raw materials were so expensive, which made the smiles on their faces solidify as time went by.
After the days when saltpeter and sulfur were sold by the pound, now they are sold by the portion, which is more than a hundredfold increase.
now.
Everyone in the headquarters building looked sad because of this.
Now, Wu Lao asked them to find a way.
"Wu Lao, can you increase the price of bombs to two hundred kilograms of iron ore for one bomb?"
One man stood up and proposed.
Before the five elders could speak, the others immediately stood up to refute.
"No, absolutely not!"
"Double the price of bombs. Let's not talk about whether we can make money from iron ore. Why would others come to us to buy? If we were in the position of the Chamber of Commerce before, no one would say anything if you sold iron ore for one thousand gold. That's because of monopoly."
"Now it's not just our government that will do it. Other forces will do it. If we raise the price, others will protest and it's impossible for them to continue to buy bombs from us."
"This proposal is not very good. Everyone has rejected it in their hearts."
The headquarters building fell into silence again as the rebuttal stopped.
The five elders were too tight. The longer time went on, the tighter they were.
This is the third day. I wanted to go bald in the past two days, but I still couldn't think of a solution.
This is why the five elders were expressionless.
Silence for a moment.
Seeing that no one spoke, one of the five elders stood up, looked down, and said calmly.
"Today is the third day. The raw materials in the warehouse can't hold out for much longer. If there is still no way, there will be no wages for this week."
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone's face was gloomy.
Without wages this week, they want to sell some food or some daily necessities in the world channel, isn't it hopeless?
The main thing is that the iron ore in the world channel is too expensive. If they don't go out to plunder, the only source of iron ore is wages.
In this way, there will be no iron ore for seven days this week...
