(Some readers asked whether there are three updates in this book. No, there definitely isn’t. If there are, it must be a dazzling eye.)
The meeting continued, and Zhang Hao began to introduce the details of the trade war.
To put it simply, it is: dumping. Using the Minghui Empire and the Daxia Empire as a springboard, a dumping-style trade war against the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'a Empire.
But this kind of dumping is technical dumping.
The first is elixirs, which are a necessary resource for the world of cultivation, and are also the easiest way to make breakthroughs and attract attention.
Zhang Hao suggested that everyone should unify the selling price, but the price does not need to be too low. It is almost 85% of the selling price of Tianshui Empire and Tian'a Empire, and this ratio should always be maintained - but if the other party lowers the price, we will also lower the price; if the other party raises the price
, we don’t raise prices.
The first batch of elixirs are mainly concentrated under the level of gods. For this level of elixirs, Dayang Group and now Blue Star Group have achieved mass production, and the cost price is almost only 5% of the traditional method, or even more
Low.
And with the victory in the world war against the Sky Demon, a massive amount of resources have been obtained, and the cost price is still falling.
There is plenty of room for price reductions.
While reducing prices, the purchase price of some local medicinal materials can be slightly increased; an increase of about 5% is considerable. Unlike elixirs, the purchase price will not change.
Because if the acquisition price continues to be increased, the previous competitors may sell to themselves. Therefore, the acquisition price is tentatively increased by 5% and is basically fixed; it will be fine-tuned later depending on the situation.
After Zhang Hao finished explaining the elixir, the deputy head of the Shaohua Sect, Jinxian Ziling Tianji, spoke, "I have a few questions."
"Senior, please ask."
"First, the Tian'a Empire is relatively honest for the time being, but I think Mr. Zhang always talks about the Tian'a Empire, and even puts the Tian'a Empire on the same level as the Tianshui Empire. Is there something wrong with this?"
Zhang Hao looked at Ziling Tianji and asked word for word: "Do you dare to ask whether Shaohua Sect is connected with Tian'a Empire?"
Everyone's attention was focused on Ziling Tianji. Unknowingly, Zhang Hao had a slight ability to influence the Blue Star Group's core meeting.
Ziling Tianji frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Zhang Hao's attitude, but still replied: "No! Not at all, we are not even bordering.
The location of the Shaohua Sect is between the Tai'a Empire, the Nanfeihu Empire, and the Jiuzhou Empire. It is located at the northern end of the "Jiuyou Constellation" and 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 crackdown, or taking the opportunity to take revenge."
Everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Hao again.
Zhang Hao nodded calmly, but did not explain Ziling Tianji's 'reflective question' at all. Instead, he said directly: "The reason why Tian'a Empire is included is because the location of Tian'a Empire is too coincidental and it is difficult to effectively avoid it.
.If you deliberately avoid it, it will cause too many problems.
On the contrary, if Tian'a Empire is taken into account, things will be much simpler.
In addition, everyone underestimates the industrial production capacity of Blue Star Group. Just one Tianshui Empire is too small to start a trade war.
Finally, we are also surrounded by many great empires, and even the great empire of Miyuan is paying attention to us. We must prepare for rainy days. We cannot wait for others to attack before we respond passively.
When given a choice, we need to take the initiative and weaken potential enemies.
In fact, although the Tian'a Empire is relatively honest, it does a lot of tricks!"
Ziling Tianji immediately asked: "In addition to the Tian'a Empire, I also want to ask: why the purchase price of medicinal materials has only increased once and remained stable, while the price of elixirs has continued to decline. Also, why are the prices of elixirs not directly reduced?
To the lowest?”
Hearing this question, Zhang Hao sighed slightly: I said, where is your brain? I've been talking about it for a long time, and you don't even understand this.
If the purchase price of medicinal materials increases slightly, then I will not be prepared to purchase them; if I set a high price but do not purchase them, I will disrupt the other party's market;
The reason why the elixir is not directly reduced to the lowest price is for stability and not to cause a rebound. You understand the principle of boiling a frog in warm water; also, lowering the price a little bit is also a benefit!
Taking Pei Yuan Dan as an example, the current cost price of Blue Star Group's Foundation Building Pill has been reduced to 88 yuan (the currency of Dayang Group), which is 0.88 low-grade spiritual stones; the comprehensive cost price is about 150 yuan. The price of Dayang Group is even higher
Low.
Within the Blue Star Group, the price of Peiyuan Dan does not exceed 10 low-grade spiritual stones (1,000 yuan) - almost all of it is profit.
The excellent Pei Yuan Pill in the interstellar is about one-twentieth of the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill; the price of a Foundation Establishment Pill is about the same as a high-grade spiritual stone.
In the interstellar world, it is generally believed that the exchange ratio for upper, middle and lower grade spiritual stones is base 100; but in fact, one high-grade spiritual stone can often be exchanged for more than two hundred medium-grade spiritual stones.
For practice above the realm of returning to true nature, you must use high-grade spiritual stones; below the realm of returning to true nature, the effect of using high-grade spiritual stones is better. Therefore, the value of high-grade spiritual stones increases with each passing day.
Based on this calculation, the price of an excellent Peiyuan Pill in the interstellar world is at least 1,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
The price gap is so huge that directly reducing the price to the lowest level will easily cause too many problems, and the price reduction will only reduce profits.
However, facing such a golden immortal, Zhang Hao still patiently explained it carefully.
After hearing this, Ziling Tianji couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Profiteer! Only now do I really understand how to write the word 'profiteer'. Raising the price without purchasing, hey, you can really come up with this trick!"
Zhang Hao chuckled and said: "Either we don't make acquisitions, or we make fewer purchases. If we don't make acquisitions, how can others follow?"
You see, we don’t have enough funds, and the price of elixirs is also low, so we can only purchase them in small quantities. Those who want to sell medicinal materials to us will depend on their own abilities."
Huang Long and Zhang Hao were familiar with each other, but he couldn't help but say: "Mr. Zhang, I can probably understand Xiang Yan Bing's gratitude now. Thank you Dayang Group for not using these methods on our own family members."
Zhang Hao showed a modest smile.
Daluo Jinxian Qiu Qianren also became interested: "We have figured out the problem with the elixir. So, is the next item a basic spiritual material?"
"No, it is more about people's livelihood and basics, the textile industry. It is said that people can know etiquette if they have enough food and clothing, and they can know honor and disgrace if they have enough food and clothing. For the majority of cultivators, elixirs are the foundation. But for the majority of people, people's livelihood is the foundation.
.
People's livelihood has four major components: food, clothing, housing and transportation. The one that is closely related to industrial production capacity and the easiest to start with is "clothing", which is the textile industry.
A person, a civilized person, may not travel, may live in a mud hut, or may live a simple life, but he must always wear clothes. Moreover, clothes get damaged relatively quickly.
In the tradition, the production of clothes is more cumbersome and requires hand weaving. Hand-woven cloth has high cost, low output, inconsistent quality, few patterns and colors, and is easy to discolor, etc.
On the contrary, relying on our current technology, we can already produce cotton, linen, silk, wool, chemical fiber and other fabrics, including blends, in a wide range of varieties, with excellent quality, bright colors and not easy to fade.
In particular, chemical fiber has high corrosion resistance, lower price, rich colors and beautiful colors, and is the first choice of ordinary people.
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 basis for the survival of most ordinary people."
After Zhang Hao said this, he stopped explaining. But many people at the scene were already looking a little pale.
At the beginning, everyone was completely skeptical about the trade war mentioned by Zhang Hao.
Now, everyone is already a little frightened about this trade war. But after being frightened, everyone's eyes are gradually brightening.
As Zhang Hao explained, everyone has seen the huge benefits of the trade war. So more and more people began to agree with the trade war. Zhang Hao also talked about his plan.
The plan has five main components: elixirs, textiles, basic spiritual materials and magic weapons, construction assistance, and finally the currency system.
Aided construction sounds very heart-warming, but the aided construction here must be in quotation marks - the aided construction here actually smells of control. I built it and I have the final say, which is equivalent to a different kind of concession.
Finally, there is the monetary system, which needs to be built based on the previous four items, mainly the current banking and financial system of Blue Star Group.
At present, the financial system of Blue Star Group has one master and one auxiliary: the main currency system is the White Tiger Coin, but the denomination of the White Tiger Coin is too large and is not friendly to ordinary people; the subsequent currency system was supplemented by the currency system of the 'Star Bank'
.
The currency system of Xingmang Bank completely borrowed the characteristics of Ocean Group's Green Boat Bank. However, due to the arrogance of the masters of cultivation, Xingmang Bank only promoted "Lingyuan", which is equivalent to the value of a high-grade spiritual stone.
Finally, there is a 'auxiliary' currency system, which is the Green Boat Bank wholly owned by Dayang Group.
Over the years, Dayang Group has become the most popular auxiliary currency within the Blue Star Group with its own perfect, reasonable and strong currency system. In fact, this auxiliary currency is a bit strong, and in many cases is even more popular than the Lingyuan issued by Xingmang Bank.
Some people believe that the Blue Star Group should have a 'one master and two auxiliary' currency system; the reason why it is said to be 'one master and one auxiliary' is to take care of Star Bank's face. After all, Star Bank can also be regarded as Blue Star
A branch of the group; and Luzhou Bank has always been wholly owned by Dayang Group.
In short, this time he took revenge on the Tianshui Empire and brought the Tian'a Empire with him. Zhang Hao was naturally prepared to draw some benefits to his own family.
It's just that Zhang Hao is not the only smart person. Seeing that the benefits of the trade war will be beyond imagination, everyone has ideas.
No, Jinxian, Duke Rong, Flying General, and Jiang Shuyi of the Yujing Empire spoke up: "Mr. Zhang, I have a question. If a trade war is to be fought, the commodity base must be established in the Minghui Empire and the Daxia Empire.
These two countries will definitely benefit a lot, and domestic industry and commerce will be greatly promoted and developed. Not to mention direct benefits.
But what about those of us who are far away from the trade front? I’m afraid we won’t get as many dividends as we deserve!”
Jiang Shuyi's words instantly aroused a wave of approval.
The situation went from one extreme to the other.
