Chapter 373: Trade War

In the venue, many eyes focused on Zhang Hao, including Da Luo Jinxian, Jin Xian, many Tianxian, and even representatives of shareholders of Bluestar Group.

For the problem of the Tianshui Empire, everyone felt that it was tricky. A direct declaration of war is not impossible, but there are clearly quite a few problems. If you really want to declare war directly on the Tianshui Empire, the rest of the large empires will definitely take action. The truth of cold lips and teeth, everyone understands it too well.

'Teachers are famous' is often something that cannot be ignored. And the secret means cannot be used as a pretext for declaring war. Wars, especially large-scale wars, require some 'bright excuses'.

Even the injustice of one's own citizens can be used as an excuse. But the problem of espionage cannot be used as an excuse.

To put it more directly, it is to declare war on the Tianshui Empire, and the key is not the excuse of 'the division is famous', but to find ways to make it impossible for other empires to participate in the war and inconvenient to interfere.

This is the core meaning of 'teachers are famous', otherwise any excuses are meaningless.

It is precisely for this reason that the problem of spies cannot be used as an excuse; because everyone has spies, let alone the eldest and the second, everyone has one color, all of them are black, and they cannot be seen; if you say that your spy is special, then I will have to go back and check the situation in the country.

Especially the current situation of the Blue Star Group, which has made many big empires and powerful sects around it red-eyed. In this case, everyone's every move is magnified, and the slightest carelessness can lead to uncontrollable consequences.

While you're making excuses for others, others are also making excuses for you!

And once a large-scale war occurs, it will inevitably involve the military strength of the Blue Star Group; what if the demon world attacks again and the military strength is not enough?

Although the gates of the world can bring wealth, if they are not suppressed, they will erupt into a deadly crisis.

The gateway to this world is an alternative volcanic crater, which is still very active and volcanic, and although it is rich in resources, it is a catastrophe if it is not dealt with properly.

You can't expect the monsters of the Heavenly Demon World to be 'merciful' - in the face of the cultivators with majestic vitality, the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon World are definitely rats who love rice, and they can't stop taking a bite at a time.

This is not a competition within the Zhou Tian Great Galaxy, and if it doesn't work, it can still surrender. This is a real life-and-death showdown. In the face of the pressure of the entire Heavenly Demon World, the Blue Star Group did not dare to relax in the slightest, and its military strength must always remain at its peak.

In such a situation, although everyone hated the methods of the Tianshui Empire, they had to deal with it carefully.

But if you don't deal with it, you can't do it - although the matter of espionage can't be put on the bright side, if you don't deal with it, it will make other countries and others feel that the Blue Star Group is just a straw bag, and anyone can step on it.

So how to knock the Tianshui Empire is indeed a brain-wrenching thing.

This is also why so many masters are honestly sitting below and listening to Zhang Hao beep above. Because you can't think of a better way.

Zhang Hao naturally seized such an opportunity and regarded this place as the stage of Dayang Group.

Facing Uncle Taiye's inquiry, Zhang Hao explained calmly: "Actually, everyone can think like this. At present, in addition to the scope of influence of Bluestar Group, everyone's understanding of the economy is still relatively simple, and this is our opportunity.

If we can snipe at this, we can easily crush a huge empire!"

"The importance of the economy, I think the development of the past decade, is the best illustration.

An economy that develops naturally is a fragile structure. Unlike cultivation, as long as there are masters in the cultivation system, it can basically ensure stability.

The pinnacle of cultivation is in the hands of a master practitioner. A kind of pyramid structure is formed from top to bottom. If a low-level practitioner wants to climb the peak, he can only rely on the high-level practitioner and practice his own.

But the economy doesn't work, everyone has their own interests. We all know the saying: Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. Wealth is the foundation of everyone's survival. At the national level, it is the 'economy'.

Although the apex of the economy is in the hands of a few, more can be obtained through trade, plunder, deception, etc.

Compared to the practice of having to take one step at a time, there is always a chaotic and crazy side to the changes in wealth and economy. The unadjusted liberal economic system is particularly prominent.

And that's what the trade war is about. ”

When Zhang Hao's voice fell, everyone was thoughtful, and many people were also looking at each other, and many people were already in a little cold sweat behind them.

Everyone is not stupid, but there are some things that I didn't think of for a while. With Zhang Hao's explanation, coupled with the development of the past ten years, everyone suddenly woke up.

Thinking about the fact that they have been trading with the Ocean Group with confidence in recent years, and there is little defense, the faces of the representatives of many small and medium-sized countries are a little pale.

Fortunately, everyone belongs to the Bluestar Group.

After a while, another Great Luo Golden Immortal, Southern Flying Tiger Empire Golden Wolf King, Qiu Qianjian, who was sitting here, spoke, "What should I do if there is a trade war?

Zhang Hao said without hesitation: "Before talking about the trade war, we must first explain the economy and trade.

The economy of a large empire is like the sea, and the only way to fight against it is to use the sea;

To confront the economy of one country, you can only use the economy of another country.

This is a qualitative confrontation.

In addition, unlike traditional warfare, trade warfare does not have a definite and visible battlefield, nor does it have a visible and tangible offensive direction, let alone an army corps in the traditional sense. If it must be explained, it is a collision of the comprehensive national strength of the two countries.

In this kind of collision, wisdom cannot be ignored, but what is more important is the competition of comprehensive national strength. It's a head-on collision with little room for tricks. The strong will take what the weak want.

And in this world of cultivation, the master of cultivation himself is also a representative of wealth. We have to prevent the other dog from jumping over the wall, such as various privateer groups.

Therefore, in order to attack the economy of the Tianshui Empire, large-scale trade is required. This scale of trade would involve at least two large empires.

In this starry sky, there are four great empires. Among them, there are two that belong to the Blue Star Group: the Minghui Empire and the Great Xia Empire. Then there is the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'a Empire. ”

Zhang Hao's finger drew a circle on the star map, marking the locations of the four empires (different symbols represent the borders of each country):

【.........&Tianshui Empire&

Minghui ##天阿帝国¥

Empire ####***¥¥

......**Great Xia Empire*]

Zhang Hao drew a circle on the map (so familiar), pointed to the four empires and continued: "If you want to start a trade war against the Tianshui Empire, it is not enough to have the Minghui Empire.

In order to form a scale, and considering the location relationship between the four empires, my suggestion is to launch a trade war against the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'a Empire at the same time.

Using the Minghui Empire and the Great Xia Empire as a springboard, gather the wealth of the entire Blue Star Group to launch a tsunami-style trade war against the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'a Empire. Destroy two empires in one fell swoop.

time, it may take more than ten years or even longer. ”

Qiu Qianjian frowned slightly and thought about it, he was a little frightened when he heard this unprecedented trade war: "Zhang Hao, you mean that the trade war is a direct collision between the two empires, and there is no room for relaxation, right?"

"If we decide to start a trade war, then no. Once any war has begun, it is difficult to end it easily. ”

"But the art of war says that if you kill a thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. What about our losses in this collision?"

The corners of Zhang Hao's mouth showed a little confidence: "Senior, rest assured." The biggest characteristic of a trade war is that the loss is not enough to make up for it! The strong will become stronger and stronger through the bloodsucking effect, and the weak will only gradually weaken and eventually die of weakness. ”

"But what you said is all theoretical, right?

"Yes!" Zhang Hao said with certainty, "In fact, at the beginning of the rise of the Ocean Group, similar tactics were used within Tian Yuan Star. Later, in the face of the Golden Eagle Empire and other partners, we all used similar tactics. ”

At this moment, many people's eyes changed when they looked at Zhang Hao.

With a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhang Hao continued: "But because everyone is a partner, we didn't do everything perfectly, but stopped in moderation and even provided assistance. It formed the trading system of Bluestar today.

But what if the Neptune Group doesn't help?"

Slowly glancing around, Zhang Hao looked at Xiang Yanbing, the representative of the Golden Eagle Empire and the former prime minister, and his tone seemed to be a little more gloomy: "The experience of the Golden Eagle Empire, you can refer to it."

After cooperating with the Dayang Group, because the price of the pill was pushed to the limit, a large number of alchemists lost their jobs, the entire traditional alchemy system collapsed, and almost one-tenth of the people in the entire empire, from the supplier of medicinal materials to the final seller of the pill, were affected.

It's just that Dayang Group injected funds and technology in a timely manner to jointly establish an elixir industry chain with the Golden Eagle Empire, which survived the crisis and brought the Golden Eagle Empire to a new peak.

There are also primary spiritual materials and low-level magic weapons. Because of the entry of industrial technology, the prices of low-level spiritual materials and low-level magic weapons have been greatly reduced, almost causing the bottom manufacturing industry of the Golden Eagle Empire to collapse.

However, Dayang Group also injected capital and technology in a timely manner, and united with the Golden Eagle Empire to create a new industrial system.

There are many more similar ones, so I won't list them all.

In this regard, I would like to give Representative Yan Bing the most right to speak. ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Xiang Yanbing. Facing the gaze of many Heavenly Immortals, Golden Immortals, and even Da Luo Jin Immortals, Xiang Yanbing did not have as thick nerves as Zhang Hao, and cold sweat soaked through his clothes in an instant.

Qiu Qianjian spoke, "Xiang Yanbing, you can talk about it." ”

Xiang Yanbing took a deep breath and slowly got up, "What Mr. Zhang said...... In fact, we also have internal discussions. The result of the discussion was that if it weren't for the timely help of the Ocean Group every time, the Golden Eagle Empire would have already declined. ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Yanbing glanced at Zhang Hao, hesitated for a moment before saying: "If you say something that may cause everyone to misunderstand, now that you think about it, after the war, after signing the peace agreement, in the process of trading with Dayang Group, it can be said that we walked on the edge of the cliff every day.

Our safety, our future, our hope, all of them are the tolerance of Dayang Group.

Taking basic medicinal materials and pills as an example, Dayang Group can monopolize the market for medicinal materials by purchasing medicinal materials at a slightly higher price, and then sell pills at relatively low prices to monopolize the market for basic pills. In order to expel competitors.

When the competitors have fallen, the Golden Eagle Empire's basic pill market is the Yiyantang of the Ocean Group.

And because the cost of Dayang Group's basic pills is very low, they can easily do it. You can even harvest unimaginable wealth. What Dayang Group has paid is only a little technical cost.

If the Ocean Group does this, they can reap the wealth of the Golden Eagle Empire again and again, just like cutting leeks.

Medicinal materials and pills, spiritual materials and magic weapons, clothing, food, housing and transportation, etc., the Jin Empire did not have much power to resist. Especially in the post-war situation. ”

Thinking about the situation of the Golden Eagle Empire, everyone's faces changed a little.

Xiang Yanbing took a deep breath and continued: "Overall, we are grateful to the subordinates of the Ocean Group for their mercy. Therefore, we also share the horrors of trade wars.

I am glad that the Dayang Group has never unleashed the monster of the trade war, and I am even more fortunate to have the opportunity to fight side by side with the Dayang Group.

Fellow Daoists, I am sure that the horror caused by a complete trade war will be beyond everyone's imagination!"
