Chapter 374: Suddenly It's Bad
(Some readers asked if there were three more in this book.) No, definitely not. If there is, it must be dazzling. )
The meeting continued, and Zhang Hao began to introduce the details of the trade war.
To put it simply: dumping. Using the Minghui Empire and the Great Xia Empire as a springboard, a dumping trade war against the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'a Empire.
However, this kind of dumping is a dumping with technology.
The first is the elixir, which is a necessary resource in the cultivation world, and it is also the easiest direction to make a breakthrough and attract attention.
Zhang Hao suggested that everyone should unify the price, but the price should not be too low, almost eighty-fifty percent of the selling price of the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'a Empire, and always maintain this ratio - but if the other party lowers the price, we will also reduce the price;
The first batch of pills were mainly concentrated below the level of the gods. This level of elixir, Dayang Group and now Bluestar Group, have achieved mass production, and the cost price is almost only 5% or even lower than the traditional method.
And with the victory of the war against the Heavenly Demon World, a large amount of resources have been obtained, and the cost price is still declining.
There is plenty of room for price reductions.
At the same time, the purchase price of some local medicinal materials can be slightly increased, and an increase of about 5% is considerable. Unlike the pill, the purchase price does not change.
If the purchase price continues to increase, the previous competitor may sell it to him. Therefore, the tentative increase of 5% in the purchase price is basically fixed, and it will be fine-tuned depending on the situation in the later stage.
After Zhang Hao's explanation of the pill was over, the deputy head of the Shaohua Sect, Jinxian Ziling Tianji, spoke, "I have a few questions. ”
"Senior, excuse me. ”
"First, the Tian'a Empire is still relatively honest for the time being, but I see that Mr. Zhang is the Tian'a Empire when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, and even puts the Tian'a Empire in the same position as the Tianshui Empire. Isn't that a bit wrong?"
Zhang Hao looked at Ziling Tianji and asked word by word, "Dare to ask if Shaohua Sect has a connection with the Tian'a Empire?"
Everyone's eyes focused on Ziling Tianji. Unconsciously, Zhang Hao already has a slight ability to affect the core meeting of the Blue Star Group.
Ziling Tianji frowned slightly, as if she was not satisfied with Zhang Hao's attitude, but still replied: "No! Not at all, we don't even border."
The location of Shaohua Sect is between the Tai'a Empire, the Southern Flying Tiger Empire, and the Kyushu Empire, at the northern end of the 'Nine Traveling Constellation', and it is tens of thousands of light years away from the Tian'a Empire.
The reason why I want to ask is to ask whether Mr. Zhang is suspected of expanding the attack, or taking the opportunity to take revenge. ”
Everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Hao again.
Zhang Hao nodded calmly, but he didn't explain Ziling Tianji's 'rhetorical question' at all, but said directly: "The reason why the Tian'a Empire is included is really because the location of the Tian'a Empire is too coincidental and difficult to effectively avoid. If you deliberately avoid it, it will cause too many problems.
On the contrary, if the Tian'a Empire is included, things are much simpler.
In addition, everyone also underestimates the industrial production capacity of Bluestar Group. The Tianshui Empire alone is too small to start a trade war.
Finally, we are surrounded by many great empires, and there are even large empires of Sangaki on the periphery. We must be prepared. We can't wait for others to attack before we react passively.
In the case of choice, we need to take the initiative and weaken a potential enemy.
In fact, although the Tian'a Empire is relatively honest, it has a lot of small actions!"
Ziling Tianji immediately asked: "In addition to the Tian'a Empire, I also want to ask: why did the purchase price of medicinal materials increase only once and remain stable, while the price of pills continued to fall. And why don't you just drop the price of the pill to the minimum?"
Hearing this question, Zhang Hao sighed slightly: I said, what about your brain? Lao Tzu has been talking for a long time, and you haven't even figured this out.
The purchase price of medicinal materials increases a little bit, and then I am not ready to buy them; if I put up a high price but do not buy them, this is to disrupt the other party's market;
The reason why the price of the pill is not directly reduced to the lowest is that it is for stability and does not cause a rebound, and the reason for boiling frogs in warm water is clear;
Taking Pei Yuan Dan as an example, the cost price of Zhuji Dan of Blue Star Group has been pressed to 88 yuan (the currency of Dayang Group), that is, 0.88 pieces of lower grade spirit stones, and the comprehensive cost price is 150 yuan. The price of the Ocean Group is lower.
Within the scope of the Blue Star Group, the price of Pei Yuan Dan does not exceed 10 lower grade spirit stones (1,000 yuan) - almost all of them are profits.
The price of the excellent Pei Yuan Dan in the interstellar is about one-twentieth of that of the Tsukidan, and the price of a Tsukidan is about one of the high-grade spirit stones.
In the interstellar world, it is generally believed that the exchange ratio of the upper, middle, and lower grade spirit stones is 100, but in fact, a high-grade spirit stone can often be exchanged for more than 200 medium-grade spirit stones.
Cultivation above the realm of returning to the truth must be of high grade spirit stones, and under the realm of returning to the truth, the effect of using top grade spirit stones is better. Therefore, the value of high-grade spirit stones has risen.
Calculated in this way, the price of an excellent Pei Yuan Dan in the interstellar is at least 1,000 spirit stones.
The price gap is so huge, directly reducing the price to the lowest is easy to cause too many problems, and the price reduction is all profits.
However, in the face of such a golden immortal, Zhang Hao still patiently explained carefully.
When Ziling Tianji heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Profiteer! I only now really understand how to write the word 'profiteer'." Raise the price and don't buy, hey, you can really come up with this trick!"
Zhang Hao said with a smile: "It's either not that you don't buy, or you don't buy less." If you don't buy it, how can others follow suit?
You see, we don't have enough funds, and the price of the pill is also low, so we can only buy it in small quantities. Those who want to sell medicinal herbs to us depend on their respective abilities. ”
Huang Long and Zhang Hao were familiar with each other, but at this time, they couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Zhang, I can probably understand Xiang Yanbing's thanks now." Thanks to the Ocean Group, these tactics were not used on our own family. ”
Zhang Hao smiled a little humbly.
Da Luo Jin Immortal Qiu Qianjian also became interested: "We have figured out the problem of the elixir. So the next item, is it the basic spiritual material?"
"No, it's more people's livelihood and foundation, the textile industry. It is said that Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. For the vast majority of cultivators, the pill is the foundation. But for the general public, people's livelihood is the foundation.
People's livelihood has four major components: clothing, food, housing and transportation. And closely related to industrial production capacity, and the easiest to start, is the 'clothing', that is, the textile industry.
A person, a civilized person, can not travel, can live in a mud house, can have coarse tea and light food, but always have to wear clothes. And the clothes are damaged relatively quickly.
Traditionally, the production of clothes is more cumbersome. Hand weaving is required. Hand-woven fabrics have high cost, low yield, inconsistent quality, few colors, easy to decolorize, and so on.
On the contrary, relying on our current technology, we can already produce cotton, linen, silk, wool, chemical fiber and other fabrics, including blends, with a wide range of types, excellent quality, bright colors and not easy to fade.
In particular, chemical fiber, with high corrosion resistance, lower price, rich colors and beautiful colors, is the first choice of the general public.
You can imagine what will happen to the traditional textile industry when a large number of industrial textiles flood the market, with lower prices and better quality.
The traditional textile industry is almost the foundation for the survival of the vast majority of ordinary people. ”
When Zhang Hao said this, he won't explain it anymore. But many people at the scene were already a little pale.
At the beginning, everyone was very skeptical about the trade war that Zhang Hao said.
And now, everyone is already a little frightened about this trade war. But after the frightened, everyone's eyes gradually lit up.
With Zhang Hao's explanation, everyone has seen the huge benefits of the trade war. As a result, more and more people are beginning to approve of the trade war. Zhang Hao also talked about his plan.
There are five main components of the plan: elixir, textile, basic spiritual materials and magic weapons, aid, and finally the monetary system.
Aid construction sounds very heartwarming, but the aid here should be put in quotation marks - the aid here actually has the flavor of control. I built, I have the final say, which is equivalent to an alternative concession.
Finally, there is the monetary system, which needs to rely on the first four items to build, mainly the current banking and financial system of the Blue Star Group.
At present, the financial system of the Blue Star Group has one main and one auxiliary: the main one is the White Tiger coin monetary system, but the White Tiger coin is too large and not very friendly to the general public;
The monetary system of Xingmang Bank is completely borrowed from the characteristics of Dayang Group's Luzhou Bank. However, out of the arrogance of the cultivators, Xingmang Bank only implemented the 'Spirit Yuan', which is equivalent to the value of a high-grade spirit stone.
Finally, there is an 'auxiliary' monetary system, which is the Green Boat Bank, which is wholly owned by the Ocean Group.
Over the years, Dayang Group has become the most popular auxiliary currency within the Blue Star Group with the perfection and rationality of its own monetary system, in fact, this auxiliary currency is a bit strong, and in many cases it is even more popular than the Lingyuan issued by Xingmang Bank.
Some people believe that the monetary system within the scope of the Blue Star Group should be 'one main and two subordinates', and the reason why it is said to be 'one main and one auxiliary at a time' is to take care of the face of Xingmang Bank. After all, Xingmang Bank is also a branch of Bluestar Group, while Luzhou Bank has always been wholly owned by Dayang Group.
In short, this time he took revenge on the Tianshui Empire and piggybacked on the Tian'a Empire, and Zhang Hao was naturally ready to draw some benefits to his own family.
It's just that smart people are not just Zhang Hao. Seeing that the benefits of the trade war will be beyond imagination, everyone has an idea.
No, Jin Xian, Rong Guogong, General Fei, and Jiang Shuyi of the Yujing Empire spoke: "Mr. Zhang, I have a question. If there is a trade war, then the commodity base must be set up in the Minghui Empire and the Great Xia Empire.
These two countries will certainly benefit a lot, and domestic industry and commerce will be greatly promoted and developed. Not to mention the direct benefits.
But what about those of us who are far from the trade front? I'm afraid that we won't get much of the dividends we deserve!"
Jiang Shuyi's words instantly aroused a wave of approval.
The situation has gone from one extreme to the other.
