With hard strength?

Crayhouse and the others immediately gasped and looked at Li Qi with their eyes wide open.

"What are your expressions?"

Li Qi said very dissatisfied.

Crayhouse immediately swallowed, and said laughing and crying: "Leader, if we rely on our hard power, we will definitely not be able to fight against the kingdom. This is not my timidity, because we do not have any strength to surpass the kingdom."

The other chiefs also nodded.

If you want to use conspiracy, you may be able to succeed, but if you try hard to be strong, it is no different from seeking death!

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "I will ask you one thing, is wisdom considered strength?"

"Of course." Crayoon nodded and sighed, "But we are not as wise as the royal family."

"Please don't put 'me' in 'we'. The last war has given a clear answer, that is, my wisdom is above the royal family." Li Qi said.

Crayed House said with a worried look: "Leader, are you inflated?"

"Inflate your sister."

Li Qi glared at him.

Zhan Feng hurriedly said, "Clay House, don't interrupt, listen to the leader first."

As he said that, he said to Li Qi again: "Leader, what kind of way do you have to compete with the royal family?"

Li Qi said: "Everyone, I will repeat that this is not a war, this is trade. Since it is trade, even if it is a struggle for strength, it may not necessarily mean that the stronger side will win. I think you are not unfamiliar with transactions. Have you never seen a weak owner who is better than a strong owner? Actually, I am a typical example!"

Everyone just looks at him and we can trust you, but you have to come up with a solution and what should we do next.

Li Qi coughed lightly and said, "I ask you, what aspects do you think are the strongest aspects of the kingdom in trade?"

The spear said immediately: "Transport, currency, resources."

This is well-known.

“It’s very right.”

Li Qi nodded and said, "In fact, these three are the three key factors that the kingdom dominates trade. Among them, we really cannot compete for the kingdom, but we also have our unique resources. However, the kingdom has richer resources than us and better than ours. Let's put it aside first. The main thing is currency and transportation. Why does the kingdom stop us from developing steam cars? I am afraid that we will threaten their dominance. Now my strategy is to compete with the kingdom for other second-class races. Then we must defeat the kingdom in terms of currency and transportation so that we can win the market."

Lan Cai was sweating profusely when she heard this and hurriedly said, "Leader, have you made a mistake? This currency and transportation are the most powerful advantages of the kingdom, and at the same time it is our greatest disadvantage. If we fight these two things, we will never be able to fight them."

No matter what, it should be, to use one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.

You are so good, you are completely reversal. You use your own weaknesses to fight for their strengths. You are not the only way to seek death!

Li Qi said confidently: "I'm not wrong. You said that before, but now we have steam cars, and we can compete with the kingdom. Then again, if we don't win these two things, how can we win the kingdom?"

The chiefs thought about it and it seemed that the resources were not equal. If transportation and currency were in the hands of the kingdom, how could they compete?

Zhan Feng said: "With the leader's intention, how should we compete with the kingdom in these two aspects?"

Li Qi smiled and said, "If you want to compete, you must first figure out what the essence of these two things is. To put it simply, these two things do not have any value. Whether it is transportation or currency, they are serving transactions and goods."

Zhan Feng nodded slightly.

This principle is not difficult to understand, because transportation and currency are not the same piece of cake, it is just serving the cake. If there is no cake, then neither transportation nor currency means anything.

Li Qi continued: "The essence is still the commodity, and what we want is not transportation, but selling our goods. As long as customers want to buy our goods, we can only transport ourselves without the help of the kingdom. The essence of transportation is an indispensable auxiliary function, so we must exert this transportation characteristic to the extreme."

The Cunning House was so amazing that it said, "How to do it to the extreme."

“It’s very simple, free shipping.”

"ah?"

"Ahem!!"

Li Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Free shipping means that as long as the other party buys our goods, we will provide free transportation."

"free?"

The chiefs were shocked.

“Not bad, free.”

Li Qi said: "As I analyzed earlier, the nature of transportation is not of any value. Transportation serves goods. If this is the case, we will not give transportation any value and integrate it with goods."

Lan Cai said excitedly: "But in this case, who will still be engaged in the transportation industry? We produce steamed cars to make money!"

Li Qi said: "We traders must look at the long-term perspective. We cannot just see the land in front of us. Just imagine, if there are rails in the territory of all second-class races, will they still use the kingdom transportation? Imagine again, only the kingdom does not have railways, so where are the goods transported? The rails can sell our goods and bring us more goods at the same time.

The benefits of mere transportation are just a drop in the bucket compared to the profits in it. Moreover, when more and more benefits are loaded on the rails, even if it does not charge a single shell of money, its own value will rise to a level that you cannot imagine. Can the big producers in other industries not subsidize the rails? The goods cannot be exported without rails. But at the beginning, we must unite to subsidize the transportation. The money in this is our Huaxia Alliance, and we will sell our goods first. As long as the goods are sold, everything is easy to negotiate."

After these words, everyone nodded frequently, including Haiye, who didn't know much about transportation, and inexplicably thought it was very awesome.

But this is by no means a fool, but a fact.

At present, only the China Alliance has rails inside and outside. The benefits of rails carrying are very limited. When rails become unparalleled and carry many benefits, the value of the rail itself will increase significantly. With value, there will naturally be owners to invest.

Zhan Feng suddenly said, "What if the Kingdom does the same?"

Li Qi said: "This is the price war I mentioned before, it depends on who can afford it."

Crayoon said: "That must be because we can't afford it!"

Li Qi smiled and said, "If you don't compete, you will never know the winner or lose. Moreover, the steam car has just come out, and no one knows how much potential it has. Of course, this strategy was proposed by me, and I will set an example. Our Chinese tribe will provide you with steam engines for free and black iron for free, thereby reducing the cost of transporting owners."

When the chiefs heard this, they immediately felt that this was not bad. You provided it for free, so we wouldn't spend much money, and we mainly sold our goods.

Li Fu asked again: "Where is the currency?"

Li Qi said: "In fact, the essence of currency is no different from that of the transportation industry. It is just a medium in transactions. When you do not recognize it, even if it is the currency of the kingdom, it does not have value. On the other hand, we can also give it value."

As he said that, he took out a piece of white paper from his pocket, picked up a pen and drew a shell on it, and handed it to the cunning house, saying, "You can take this piece of paper and go to our Chinese tribe to buy a jar of wine."

The cunning house held the paper, looked at it, and asked, "Really?"

"certainly."

Li Qi nodded and said, "Do you see, what's the difference between this piece of paper and currency? You can buy a jar of wine from the kingdom's colored shells, and you can also buy a jar of wine from this piece of paper."

Lan Cai said: "But this can only be bought in the Huaxia Alliance."

Li Qi smiled and said, "When you all recognize this paper, then this paper can be purchased from your territory. If of course all races recognize it, then this is currency. In terms of currency, I intend to officially remove the Chinese currency from the kingdom and become an independent currency."

"How can this work?"

Yue Wei said: "Even if we agree, those big producers will not agree."

"What if this currency was made by them?" Li Qi asked with a smile.

Yue Wei was stunned and said, "What does it mean?"

Li Qi smiled and said, "It's very simple. Since we want the Chinese currency to be independent, it cannot be controlled by us, because we are chiefs, not producers, and we do not sell goods. It has no meaning to recognize it. Instead, it should be recognized by those big producers. As long as they recognize it, then the Chinese currency can go to them to buy goods. Therefore, I plan to select one hundred big producers from our twenty-four races to form a Beihu that belongs to our Huaxia Alliance, and they will issue currencies uniformly and formulate monetary policies."

Crayoon said: "How can that work? Then they can do as much Chinese coins as they want. Chinese coins are just a piece of paper."

Li Qi said: "Whose products are you buying in Huaxia coins? They are not their products. They also hold Huaxia coins in their pockets. Once the Huaxia coins become valuable, they will also be greatly hurt. Moreover, our Huaxia Alliance Trade Association will also supervise it."

Zhan Feng said: "But the leader, even if you do what you say, then the Chinese currency can only be used in our Chinese Alliance. How can we compete with the kingdom?"
