Chapter 207 Contradictions
"That's how we're going to supply you at half price."
Klein: "And it is for us to provide exclusive supplies. The quantity and payment method are also up to us."
Large mercenary groups that control an area rarely interfere in business, but this is not absolute either.
All the countries here are ruled by the strong, and the trading clubs are also run by the strong. If you don’t have the strength and do business, the final result will be to become another family’s fat sheep. Even if there are no strong people in the low martial arts and low magic planes that Link has experienced, there are also aphorisms that children pass by in the downtown area.
Now, in the eyes of the powerful men of Miracle City, Link has become another fat sheep. At the beginning, no one attacked Link, just because he had not found out whether Link had a backstage. After various open and secret investigations and unfinished investigations, Link's backstage was not found, the Yuehuatian Mercenary Group, which was close to the water, made a test on Link's trading company for the first time.
If Link's backstage had not appeared after this direct temptation, or the backstage was insufficient, in the end, Link's business society was eaten and even a single hair was left.
And it is not just a trading company, but the other party is very envious of Link's means of purchasing goods (the caravan that you can't see), as well as mine sites, iron smelting workshops and steelmaking technology. These are the big deals, and compared with the technology and mine sites, this little bit of business is not enough.
Link nodded: "I actually like to follow rules. After all, there is no rule. But for those outside the rules, I don't like what others want to impose on me. I don't like it at all. I have already given you 50% of the high taxes according to your rules. You still want to go further and swallow my property. But before that, you should ask me if I agree..."
Before Link finished speaking, Klein said in a silence: "In this Miracle City, your ideas are nothing important. My eldest brother Crick is the leader of the Yuehuatian Mercenary Group. His words are law in this Miracle City, which is heaven. In this area, no one can disobey his will. In the Miracle City, the six mercenary groups implement the consistent strategy of the strong. Even if you want to move to other areas, the same result will be."
Link: "Since Commander Benson has the final say here, I will ask Captain Crick for advice if I have time."
Klein: "No need, I am here, it represents my elder brother's will."
Link: "Is that?"
Klein: "Yes."
"Then I have to try whose fist is bigger."
The reason why Klein is not afraid of Link is very simple. Since the Demon God Tower, all the strong men on the continent have come out of the Demon God Tower. Even if some noble kings and other guys can afford magic crystals, they can still make themselves strong, and most of them are at the level of the holy realm. A very small number of people who can get high-level magic crystals can barely enter the legend.
Klein himself is a legendary strong man who walked out of the Demon God Tower. Even if the other party is a legendary strong man, his combat experience is far less than that of the legendary strong man who walked out of the Demon God Tower.
Since that's the case, what else can I be afraid of?
The two of them stood in the yard, and Link hooked his finger at Klein. Klein's legendary fighting spirit burst out and he shouted "Speed Fist" and attacked him.
"It's not fast enough, it's not enough to see." After using the legendary skill, Link easily avoided Klein's speed punch, and then kicked Klein away with one kick.
Klein was not seriously injured, so he calmed himself in the air, then clasped his fists: "I lost this time, my elder brother will come next time. Let's go."
The two followers brought by Klein retreated from the air with Klein.
When fighting against the fast fist just now, Link might not lose even when he first entered the legend. Such a very weak legendary strongman would have no choice but to do anything even if he piled up the number. Then there was nothing to be afraid of.
And although they took action this time, both sides left room for nothing to get rid of the weapons. It was barely considered as an expansion of the conflict and did not cause irreconcilable consequences.
The person who came left, and the catwoman Fanny was the first to jump over: "The master is so amazing."
"I mean, he is too weak."
Let’s talk about Klein who left, and returned to the mercenary group’s base. After the elder brother and his group came back, Klein said: “Brother, the idea is too tough. I missed this time.”
Mercenary Corps Commander Crick: "How hard is it?"
Klein: "When the opponent took action, I couldn't see his movements clearly, and then I got a kick."
"No serious injury, are you?"
"No."
"That's good. Finally, there was no breakup."
Klein asked, "Brother, don't you want to take revenge?"
Crick: "Your speed is among the top three in the main group, and you can also rank in the top twenty in the entire Miracle City. If you can't catch up with the opponent's speed, what's the use of everyone going together? At most, you'll force people to get angry and pick up weapons. When the time comes, you will inevitably get killed. Since you can live, who is willing to die?"
Klein said anxiously: "But, brother, it's not an exaggeration to say that the mine and metallurgical technology are worth billions."
Crick: "It's worth billions. How much can you get? How much can I get? How much can each member of our mercenary group get? I only have someone outside to give you a fire. I didn't say anything, so I asked you to test it first. Just check whether the water is deep or shallow. It's okay if the water should be shallow. It's worth it. But since the water is deep, I'm asking me to tell you who wants to go down. His shop is in our management area, and the tax payment is also given to us. We were originally making money, but we were jealous of those who didn't make money."
Klein still dissatisfied: "But..."
Crick interrupted his younger brother: "Tell me first, even if our entire mercenary group has made great sacrifices, captured or killed this guy, can we get new steelmaking technology and their mines and factories."
Klein: "Not necessarily."
"Ba." Crick clapped his hands: "Yes, you know it may not be possible. But now we still have some profits. Even if we get the new steelmaking technology, how do you plan to manage it? Who will you send to manage it? If you make too much money, or if several other top mercenary groups start a war with us, let us hand over the technology, can we not be able to withstand it? We are not afraid of one fight, one fight, two fight, we will win at most. If one fight, one fight, five fight, it will definitely be easily destroyed. In the end, the benefits will be others. So if others want to take action, let them go, but we cannot make trouble on our territory. It has been confirmed that at least humans are in the factory without this steelmaking technology. You dare to interfere in the territory of the orc dwarf."
The intelligent life of all races is the only area on the continent where peaceful coexistence is the City of Miracle. After this, human countries still fight endlessly, let alone other races.
Klein: "But..."
Crick: "If you want to be a king, now you will be able to conquer a country with your subordinates. You can also become aristocrats. You can collect taxes as much as you want. It's just that. But how many of the guys in our mercenary group want to live such a life?"
Klein replied: "Everyone's goal in the morning is to fight the gods warriors. They will fight to a hundred levels and enter the kingdom of God to receive the blessings of God and become gods warriors and enjoy eternal life."
Crick: "The ones who have changed their ambitions in the middle have left. After all, everyone is a brother who has been born and died and can get together. If you leave too, I can understand."
Klein: "No, brother, even if there is only a front-line opportunity, I will try to become a god warrior. The demon god tower we have opened has exceeded two-thirds, and less than one-third are left, and we will eventually hit it."
Crick: "That's good, so it's very important to not forget your original intention. Recently, there are a batch of supplies. You will take your team to the 70th floor starting tomorrow."
There are many people who want to attack Link through the Yuehuatian Mercenary Group, and the first one is the most important steel ingot suppliers in the City of Miracle in the past.
There is always competition in business, and there is no way not to offend people. Now, after the steel ingots with good quality and large supply have seized their customers, the suppliers of these ingots either sell at a reduced price. The market rule of goods trade such as steel is that even if your quality is only one percent less, the price difference will be more than ten percent less before there will be customers.
At the same price, unless you can't buy the best quality, you will consider buying a slightly worse one. However, Link's supply volume is very high. It can hold up half of the steel demand in Miracle City by one. The remaining half of the country is barely maintained by major steel suppliers through big discounts. No one knows what to do if Link's trading company also starts to sell off prices.
The current situation is that the quality of the steel ingots provided by major suppliers is more than 5% worse, and the price has dropped to half of the previous ones. Now there are only some businesses that can only barely be business. After all, is it cheap? There are still many brave men at the bottom who pay great attention to price factors. As for the quality gap between 5% and 10%, it is nothing in the face of cheapness.
Businessmen, especially big trading companies, do not like surprises. Looking at the financial reports of major companies in each year, the annual profit growth curve is as stable as it was drawn in advance. The reason is also very simple. When making accounts, hide profits in profits in profits and hide losses in loss years. The year-end financial report is originally a curve chart drawn by the growth ratio calculated previously. Because the accountant knows that the boss above does not like surprises.
Now in the steel business, major trading companies have failed. In the end, the Yuehuatian Mercenary Group failed to hand over the industry and technology, so they had to take out the hidden profits to make up for the deficit of the steel ingots in other places where profits were hidden.
After understanding this, the managers of various trading companies were bleeding in their hearts. The so-called hidden profits were actually in the pockets of the middle and senior managers of these trading companies. Now they are letting them spit out this piece of profit, which is cutting their meat.
However, if the financial report at the end of the year is not good, it is not their meat to be cut, but their heads. The last shareholders of major trading companies are the worst, but legendary powerhouses, otherwise how could they enjoy dividends here? Talents who can manage and manage are nothing in front of legendary powerhouses, and if they can't do it, they will be killed.
These legendary strong men who are behind the scenes don’t care whether the managers of these trading companies are greedy or not. As long as the profits of the trading companies are still growing, then you and I will be good to everyone. As for Guang Tongchen, in this world, countries and trading companies are similar to those in this world.
But if there is a problem with the profit growth of the trading company, then I feel embarrassed. The legendary strong men are the bosses behind the scenes, and they are only responsible for force support and strategic deterrence. If there is a problem with the business, it must be the problem of the subordinates. They always have to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Without one or two chicken heads, how can they scare those group of monkeys?
The second group of Link who wanted to attack was a large mercenary group that managed the other five areas of Miracle City. Before Link and his trading company appeared, the dealers of major ingots were available in each district.
Now the trading volume of steel ingots in various districts has been halved, and the transaction price has also been halved. It is equivalent to the tax revenue in this area that is only one quarter of the previous one. Correspondingly, on the territory of the Yuehuatian Mercenary Group, the tax revenue in the trading of steel ingots has increased several times.
Because the districts cannot interfere with each other, the other five mercenary groups are naturally the ones who most hope that Yuehuatian mercenary groups and Link's trading company will turn against each other.
This is a business that is stable for the other five mercenary groups. Even if the Yuehuatian Mercenary Group finally gets new steelmaking technology, the five mercenary groups will join forces to turn against the Yuehuatian Mercenary Group, and they will only need to be able to wipe out the Yuehuatian Mercenary Group at a very small price.
If the Yuehuatian Mercenary Group is defeated, it is very simple. In the end, the five mercenary groups will take over the territory of the Yuehuatian Mercenary Group. The cake in Miracle City is so big. Except for the slums in the South City, which is not very good, there are all owners in other places. The five teams eat a little more than the six teams. The newly-risen mercenary group will either be absorbed by the six mercenary groups halfway (those who pass the level above the fiftieth floor) or be driven away by the six mercenary groups.
It is no secret that six large mercenary groups have basically captured more than fifty floors of territory. Otherwise, like the Yuehuatian mercenary group, there would not be so many teams of sixteen sub-groups. These teams were gradually formed after absorbing the newly promoted mercenary groups. Moreover, joining a large mercenary group is equivalent to eliminating the situation of a small team fighting alone, and having free supplies to a certain extent. It is simply a lot of benefits.
However, no matter which group of people fails in the first test, there is no follow-up move. It is very easy to let others get the chestnut from the fire. If you let yourself get the fire, few people will do it.
