Chapter 86 Trade War (Part 2)
When I saw the yarn piled up in the warehouse, I looked at the warehouses in the distance, and Dailin was already numb.
"Including the early investment, the yarn production cost here is one-thirty of that of traditional yarn. The larger the output, the lower the cost, and the quality is guaranteed."
The two of them sat casually in the pile of goods. Li De picked up a bundle of yarn and deliberately pulled it to Dai Lin with his hands.
Since he wanted to do it, Li De had no intention of making any semi-finished products, and directly incubated a complete spinning industry chain: clean cotton, carding and textiles. Otherwise, there would be only spinning machines, if they were not done well in the early work, no matter how fast Jenny machine was, they could only produce defective products, and it would also affect the production speed.
If that is the case, you can only fight a price war when you enter the market, leaving people with the impression that you are inferior in price. Unlike now, Li De doesn’t believe that Dai Lin is not moved.
"One Thirty?!"
Dai Lin took the yarn from Li De's hand and looked at it. Even if the journey is long and the endless sea is separated by such a low cost, it can still have an absolute price advantage in the Kingdom Continent.
Now Dai Lin really doesn't care about the problem of dealing with orc prisoners. He doesn't raise his eyebrows if he wants to pay him for it.
A world war is over, and the kingdom continent is in ruins. How many supplies are needed? How many people are unemployed due to war?
People have to wear clothes when they are food, clothing, housing and transportation. In the past, the production of gauze was low, and cloth was very precious. How many families have a set of clothes passed down for several generations, and the older brother’s clothes were worn by the younger brother as they were small.
Even Dai Lin knew that many senior tailors needed to remove stitches and cloth from old clothes to re-dress.
Li De clearly gave him a mountain of gold!
Friendship is friendship, business is business. Even brothers have to settle the score clearly, but Li De still gave Dai Lin a very low price.
Of course, even so, Hanhai Protector can earn more.
Although he took Dai Lin to visit the spinning mill just now, Li De was completely confident that there would be no technical leakage. Dai Lin doesn’t understand technology. Besides, you are a local expert in technology. Is it useless to say that you are shocking?
Of course, the high failure rate of goblin technology is also a problem, so Li De has planned to attract some dwarf talents. Their technology is more clever and reliable than goblins, but it is not "magnificent" enough, and it is almost impossible to be in terms of horsepower.
After Li De became an important business partner, Dai Lin took the initiative to worry about the safety of Hanhai Protector for Li De.
Not long ago, he experienced a trade conflict. The quality and low-cost yarn caused hatred and coveted by the goblin consortium, so Dai Lin seemed particularly concerned about the safety of the Hanhai Protector, and of course he was more worried about the safety of the maritime trade routes.
"The threats at sea must be taken seriously. I know the style of goblins' work. In addition to formal declaration of war, they will also support pirates to plunder your trade route. Should I send a fleet to defend your safety!"
"I'm so eager!"
Li De was thinking about how to tell Dai Lin, but the other party took the initiative to throw out this big olive branch. What was he talking about with Dai Lin? Isn’t it just to recognize Kurtilas’ naval power.
Kurtiras had only one third fleet, and the total displacement reached 30,000 tons. All fleets combined would inevitably break the 100,000 mark, and it is likely that more.
Nogfog once said that the total displacement of the trade king Hot Sand fleet is about 100,000. Now it seems that the Navy of Kurtiras is definitely above Hot Sand!
Speaking of the trade king Resha, Li De couldn't help but feel particularly unhappy. The yarn of Hanhai Dudu was engaged in a price war in Kezan, how could Heshe not know?
To put it bluntly, he was watching. The guy Resha has always only been in the raw material business, and his yarn productivity has increased. The price of cotton he stocked up in his hands has also increased!
He obviously got a lot of benefits from this, but when Hanhai Dupu was threatened, this guy stood by and watched?! Li De didn't believe that the Russ Water Crazy Billions were taking action against them, and Hesan didn't know!
However, Dai Lin was still talking to him in front of him, and Li De could not talk about things with a negative emotion towards Hot Sa.
"Actually, as long as you go on the Titan Road, you don't have to worry about naval battles. So the threat from commercial competitors is that they appear near the seas of the two continents.
In the Titan Road, all we need to consider is those undersea creatures, fishman, Naga, sea giant, these elusive guys are very dangerous."
Dai Lin could understand Li De's words.
"That is to say, in addition to dealing with competitors' fleets, the ship also needs to be equipped with high-quality combatants to guard against those guys who climb the ships in the sea?"
After all, the old navy was just a little bit clear. When they came to Kalimdo by boat, those guys left a deep bad impression on Li De, although those guys provided important productivity points for Li De at that time.
"Recruiting these people is really a big problem. We all lack high-quality combat power..."
Dai Lin also felt worried. Needless to say, the Hanhai Protector is the only heroic warrior, Li De, his elite troops have the power to fight, but the number of people is too small. Now it can be said that population is the biggest problem restricting the development of the Hanhai Protector.
It is impossible for Li De, a heroic warrior, to follow the merchant ship all the time? And it depends on the shipment volume, can a fleet use it?
As for Kultilas, let alone.
Dai Lin, the navy marshal, is only stronger than ordinary elite soldiers. Although his reputation and great military achievements have long been considered heroes, it is reflected in the military talents of naval battles.
Overall, Kultilas lacks powerful individuals. It makes sense to think about it. As for Kultilas' naval power, who deserves to be in the position of fighting with them?
Of course, not to mention that Kul Tiras has no strong men at all. In addition to Prodmore, there are three major families in their country. The four major families have different divisions of labor, but they all revolve around sea transportation:
Proudmore's army, Ashvan's weapons, Verex's logistics, Storson's shipbuilding.
Among them, the Storson family has tide sages who can communicate with the sea. However, they only obey Storson, which means that they may be stuck in human deployment.
After taking over this business of Hanhai Protector, Dai Lin must share the profits with other families. After all, the prosperity of maritime trade is the result of the cooperation of the four major families, and future maritime business must be maintained together.
But if Storson finds that they have an irreplaceable role in the subsequent trade, it is inevitable to make a move to sell at a price.
People are not worried about inequality. If one party relies on its advantages, he will enjoy more benefits than others. That is the beginning of the tilt of the balance and will eventually slide into disintegration.
Almost in a moment, Dai Lin figured out these twists and turns.
If Li De could learn about Dai Lin's brainstorming now, he would have been extremely fortunate that such a politician with a big view should not have died in an outrageous brain circuit many years later because of his son's death.
Perhaps it was precisely because of the death of Dalin that the decline of Kurtiras was caused and the balance between the four major families was lost.
Or to the present, Dalin had discovered the problem of Kultilas before, so he wanted to send his daughter to Dalaran to learn magic, hoping to bring some new styles to Kultilas.
It was just that the big business that suddenly fell from the sky caught Dai Lin off guard. Things that could have been solved slowly became problems that need to be solved urgently.
However, just as Dai Lin was thinking hard, Li De finally decided to reveal the plan he had covered for a long time.
"We can't recruit high-quality combat power, but there is one that can."
"who?"
Dai Lin didn't think it out for a while.
"Master Lothar."
"Ah? Ah! Yes, yes!"
Dai Lin was also awakened in an instant. Losa was really a big banner on the Kingdom Continent. During the war, many strong men responded to the call and formed the Iron Horse Brotherhood.
Even in the late stage of the war, people with great prestige, such as Turayan and Kadega, were proud of themselves as "sons of Lothar"!
If Losa could come forward to help, there would definitely be many people responding to the call and joining their business alliance.
Even if you can tie a large number of talents to their interest groups, you don’t have to worry about the commercial enemies on the Kingdom Continent: After all, the Kingdom Continent also has traditional giants, and it’s a lesson from the naval battle not long ago.
"But, will Lothar agree?"
Even though he guessed that Li De and Lossa were political allies, he still didn't know how close the two were. Will Lossa, who was the leader of the alliance and had never been in business, be interested in these things?
"To be honest, the Marshal and I have already planned. On the issue of dealing with Ultraman, the Marshal will propose that he will take over Ultraman and undermine the foolish lord Pirinold.
The climate of Ultratown is similar to that of Kazmodan. We will try to introduce high-quality sheep seeds from dwarves, establish a place of origin, and specialize in making precious cashmere, targeting the aristocratic market.
Pirinold had been arrested by us in Stormwind City before. After we handled the matter here, we immediately returned to the Kingdom Continent to help the marshal operate this matter.
What is the problem of orc prisoners of war? It never matters.”
Dai Lin was shocked and stunned, and after a while, he slapped Li De on the shoulder.
"Okay! You guy is so bold! A captain actually dares to plot against a country! I said that at Chaoluo Island, why are you in a hurry to meet with Losa? You thought about it before returning to the Kingdom Continent, right!"
Although he said that, Dai Lin was full of smiles. After making trouble for a long time, Luosa had been involved in this earlier than him. Li De also smiled and shook his head and said.
"Actually, I came up with this plan during that naval battle."
After saying that, both of them were lying in the yarn and laughing happily.
At this moment, Hagad, who had been guarding the door, gently knocked on the Kumen. Except for him and Nogfog, everyone else stood ten meters away, so the conversation inside was absolutely secret.
"What's wrong?"
Li De knew that if there was no need for anything, the outside world would not disturb them at this time.
Hagad did not answer, but only heard the conversation inside and signaled the soldiers outside the guard circle to come in. Then, Li De in the warehouse heard the loud report from the soldiers outside the door.
"A fleet appeared on the sea and approached the port, with the flag of the hot sand consortium hanging on the ship!"
