Chapter 620: A plan within a plan
On October 15 of the first year of the starry sky, it has been a month since the [Bay Town Defense Battle] that shocked the whole continent, and a week has passed since the Liangshan Brotherhood mortgaged the [Independence Light Fortress].
The reason why the mortgage of the fortress is also called an "incident" is because this incident is the second turning point in the situation in Rinkai City. The first turning point was naturally that the wolf clan successfully retreated from the 80,000 Liang army and won the title and achievement of [the first city in the world].
Since this week, the economy of the Wolf Guild has basically returned to the right track, the grain base has restored production order, the comprehensive workshop in Bay Town has also returned to production order, and the reward for meritorious deeds has also been completed. The reward and bereavement cost Lu Chen more than 13,000 gold coins, after all, the war was fought too tragically.
If you die once, you will receive a pension of 10 silver coins. If you die twice, the pension for the second death will be doubled. Therefore, there are many players who have died five, six, or even seven times during the war, and they have received 3 gold, 10 silver, 6 gold, 30 silver, 12 gold, and 70 silver at once.
The pension alone cost Lu Chen about 10,000 yuan. The remaining 3,000 gold coins, plus some honors, appreciation, salary increases, etc., can be regarded as making all the members happy. After all, Lu Chen had opened up fishing grounds and other industries for more than half a month, and the members of the wolf clan had all made a lot of money.
"After this battle, we will have to recuperate for at least two months. Now the average level of the wolf clan is generally lower than that of the guild power, and it can't withstand a few more big battles. ”
The Yuwen Demon God was worried, and the battle with the Liangshan Brotherhood had wiped out the equipment advantages and level advantages that the wolf clan had worked so hard to accumulate. But if this is not the case, in fact, the wolf clan may not be able to stop the Liang army.
"Hmm." Lu Chen nodded perfunctorily, what he was thinking about was not war at all. If you can bring your opponent to your knees without fighting, then why bother?
There are only eight days left before the repayment date of the short-term loan of the Yangsan Brotherhood. To be honest, 8,000 gold coins is not much, and even Lu Chen can scrape together it for it.
Therefore, if Lu Chen wants to get the [Fortress of Independence Light], he must make the Liangshan Brotherhood suffer serious economic trauma, so that they make the decision to shrink their territory and lay off employees.
"How much food is being hoarded?" Lu Chen looked up at the Yuwen Demon God, the wolf clan's ability to hoard food was terrifying. Generally speaking, the Liangshan Brothers will quietly purchase the amount of four days, which is just the amount that the wolf clan has intercepted and hoarded in a day. After all, there is a difference between the purchaser and the producer.
"Bronze-grade cooking has hoarded more than 520 tons, and if it is sold at the current market price, it will be able to return more than 27,000 gold coins. Silver-grade cooking also left about fifty tons, and gold-level cooking has less than one ton.
Isn't it a bit dangerous to hoard to this point? In case someone turns against the army, we will lose..."
The Yuwen Demon God didn't quite agree with the risky plan of the initial text C, but unfortunately Lu Chen made a decision, and he didn't even have time to say anything against it.
"Dangerous?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, "What's the danger, we just intercepted what we produced, and we didn't take the money to fry it." Even if there is a precipitous drop in food prices, it is nothing more than a loss of some money. ”
Lu Chen shook his head indifferently, if Lianghe Town, Stone Town, and Leimu Village were still in Lu Chen's hands, Lu Chen would definitely not dare to do so. The daily maintenance of order, the maintenance of the city walls, the construction of the project, etc., in those towns and cities cost a lot of money.
Now there is no need for Lu Chen to bother with these three territories, and the rebuilding work of Bay Town has not been carried out, so Lu Chen can invest all the productivity of the Wolf Clan Guild in the hoarding of food, and there is no need to worry about the problem of breaking the capital chain somewhere.
In other words, from the moment Lu Chen decided to design the fried grain group headed by the Liangshan Brotherhood, Lu Chen was already invincible. The worst result is that the wolf clan is one step slower to fry the grain ball, and they will push down the price of grain in one go. But in that case, the fried grain group will die together with the wolf clan, but it will be a lose-lose situation.
"It's time to start selling silver and gold cooking. Order the grain base of the Marquis of Jefferson to put two manpower into the production of advanced cooking, and produce at least three tons of silver-level cooking for me in three days! ”
Lu Chen signed the opening order, deciding to sell off the two highest-quality culinary products currently on the market.
In the past, the fried grain group mainly fried bronze-level cooking, but it also started with silver-level cooking and gold-level cooking, which were already scarce in quantity, so that the price of the latter two kinds of cooking has more than doubled in just half a month.
At this time, Lu Chen put up to several tons of high-end cooking on the market, which would definitely cause panic in the fried grain group. These tons of high-end cooking are worth more than 15,000 gold coins, and most of the members of the Grain Fry Group have already invested all the funds they have in the grain market, so they won't be able to come up with that much money to eat this batch of wolf clan goods for at least three or four days.
Therefore, the fried grain group will either sell it with the wolf clan and make less money, at least it will not lose. Or just wait and see for a few more days, but the wolf clan's grain base no longer restricts the production of high-level cooking, and no matter how much they wait, the price of silver-level cooking will not rise.
As Lu Chen expected, in the next three days, there was a violent turmoil in the silver-level cooking market. At the beginning, the wolf clan sold half a ton of silver-grade cooking, but all of them were bought by the fried grain group at a high price. As the wolf clan continued to sell, the fried grain group could not spare funds to buy, so they could only watch as the silver-level cooking market began to decline across the board.
"President! Let's take out that batch of cooking immediately, it's all at this time, dead friends don't die poor! "Tiangangxing Jade Qilin has become suspicious, thinking that this is the wolf clan sniping at the Liangshan Brotherhood.
The purpose was to severely damage the economy of the Yangsan Brotherhood.
"There's no hurry." However, Tiankuixing Hu Baoyi seemed to be sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and his tone was so calm, "The Canglan Tiger has relented, faintly revealing that the poisonous wolf has realized that we are going to speculate on food prices, so he has intercepted a week's silver-level cooking, ready to smash it out in one go, and curb the momentum of food prices."
At the same time, the poisonous wolf is also borrowing money everywhere, and it looks like he is ready to mix it up. ”
"If the wolf clan wants to speculate on the price of food, can't it just start directly from the source? They themselves control one of the three major grain bases in the kingdom! Tiangangxing Jade Qilin still felt suspicious, but since he had the endorsement of Canglan Tiger, a former traitor of the wolf clan, he believed some of it.
"Hmph..."Hu Baoyi sneered, "I'm a bitch and I have to set up a torii... It's not to keep us from giving us a handle on public opinion, so they can only secretly intercept a small part, and the rest of the hype still depends on funds. ”
