I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 4 Chapter 367: The worst situation

Latest website: Carl's surprise, Anson, who has "lived" in this world for three years, and still retains the memory of his body for more than 20 years, is completely understandable.

Although there is a preliminary industry, for the vast majority of ordinary people who will never leave their hometowns in their entire lives, and even the radius of their activities is less than ten kilometers, the world in their eyes is actually very "small"; Most of the world, the name of the whole world is "Empire", that's all.

Some people who have been exposed to basic general education, or even the middle and upper levels of higher education, have concepts similar to "country" or "territory" in their minds; +Empire" basically equals the whole world.

Carl Bain, and Anson Bach in the past, is basically at this stage.

Ludwig, Sophia, Louis Bernard, Clerk Alan Dawn...Only those who have easy access to a wealth of knowledge and information can naturally incorporate the currently known world into their thinking, and use it accordingly. Think on the basis.

Relatively complete, constantly updated and scientific maps, five to ten years of uninterrupted education, and easily obtained information from thousands of miles away and the latest scientific research results allow them to broaden their horizons beyond their sight. , find a solution to the problem.

So this is not a question of ability, it is simply a gap between school hours and vision, and a further gap is the gap between wealth and class; not to mention massive and systematic education, the price of a map that is not outdated is very important to the world. The number of people over 90 is astronomical, how can they be expected to understand the "world".

"Even if you can find a seller, how are you going to ship the coal and iron ore there?"

After thinking about Anson's plan, Karl still frowned, not at all relaxed: "Colonel William Cecil has already returned to the North Harbor the Crown and the cruiser that we leased to us, and there are ten merchant ships that we can get together now. None!"

"Because of this, we cannot trade with the three North Sea countries in the name of Ice Dragon Fjord alone." Anson continued to explain his perfect plan with a confident tone:

"Don't forget, we are now part of the Free Confederacy; the thirteen colonies have a lot of coal and iron ore waiting to be sold, and it's not just us who are having a hard time."

Carl paused for a while, then widened his eyes: "You want to negotiate with the three North Sea countries in the name of the Confederacy?!"

"Otherwise, what value do the five colonies in the east have other than their relationship with the Beihai Three Kingdoms? You don't really think that I insist on bringing them in, just because the geographical location is more important, plus the number of people?" Anson took out his pipe and lit it:

"In exchange for five worthless colonies in exchange for a coal and iron ore trade contract with the Free Confederation for at least one year; the kingdom of Nakhir is now in civil war, and the other two are also important raw material suppliers in Clovis. , they must know that this is a sure-fire deal."

"I see..." Carl muttered to himself, but then suddenly thought of something:

"Wait! Since the Beihai Three Kingdoms are rich in iron ore and coal, if we sell these things to them, won't we be deliberately lowered by the other party?!"

"That being said, is the price originally sold to Clovis really reasonable?" Anson asked rhetorically: "And I can guarantee that once the exact information is obtained, the North Sea Three Kingdoms will only be more active than us. If done properly, they will even take the raw materials at any cost."

Yes, on the surface, this is an act of digging coal from Pingdingshan and transporting it to Datong for sale; but as long as enough coal is dug and the transportation volume is large enough, "Datong" is definitely welcome.

The reason is very simple. Although the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea also produce various ores, they are not the only suppliers; before the outbreak of the war at the end of the ninety-ninth year of the Saint Calendar, the Empire was the most important raw material delivery country for Clovis.

Now that the war in the old world has cut off the trade between the two sides, the three North Sea countries have become really important to Clovis; if they can eat the part originally provided by the colony, their status in the trade with Clovis will be suddenly improved, Even win the pricing power of the goods!

As a fringe force in the ordered world, even in the most prosperous period in history, the Beihai Three Kingdoms, which have not left any deep traces, will no longer be ignored by the mainstream of the world and become a truly influential hegemony.

For any party in the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea, this is an opportunity they dream of, but it is not available; if they are lucky, it is unknown to take advantage of this to rise, or even to embark on the road of outward expansion.

……………………

"So, do you think we should accept a one-fifth of the original price and buy the ore?"

In the Autonomous Council of Slave Harbor, a representative of a chamber of commerce in Nakhir Kingdom sneered, looking at the guy who claimed to be the "President of the New World Company" with an incredible look.

"It is based on the price sold by Beluga Port to the mainland, plus one-fifth." Reinhard Roland corrected with a smile:

"This price is nearly a quarter lower than your domestic price, and we don't need you to buy it in cash, so we can fully accept the same price of goods; including the price difference, the cost alone is nearly one-third of the profit. !"

"That's only one-third of the profit."

The representative of the chamber of commerce waved his hand disdainfully, but his greedy eyes had betrayed his heart: "Don't think that the news of the North Sea is more closed than the mainland, we also know the news of the jihad, you have been accused by the Holy See as enemies of the Ring of Order , is the standard heresy; doing business with you, I am taking risks!"

"That's right, that means that as long as the profits can offset the risks, the business can still be done... right?" Reinhard played with his taste, and backhanded out of his sleeves a gold coin engraved with the Church's "Canon", in his hand playing around with:

"The two gold coins have no difference in the year of manufacture. Which one is dirty and which is noble?"

Listening to Reinhard's unabashed "hint", the Chamber of Commerce representative stared straight at the gold coin in his hand and twitched his throat:

"What... what are you trying to say?!"

"It's nothing, it's just that since the price can't satisfy you, and we can't easily reduce the price, we can only compensate you for your 'risk' elsewhere." Reinhard smiled more and more:

"Let's say...transaction volume."

…………………………

"one third?!"

Screams of astonishment rose and fell in the hall of the Supreme Council. Faces filled with shock seemed to have been turned on by some kind of switch. They competed with each other to widen their eyes, hoping to let the round thing fall out of the body. come out.

"Your Excellency Louis Bernard..." Paulina Frey, the leader of the parliament, turned her head and said tremblingly: "Excuse me, the number you just said is true, are you kidding?"

"Exactly."

The serious young knight stood up and saluted the girl sitting on the podium: "This is the number given by Anson Bach, I'm just repeating what he said."

"According to him, as long as sufficient capacity can be ensured, one-third of the annual output of all mines in the entire New World can be sold before April, and there will be no reduction in price, and it may even be higher than in previous years. will increase.”

"But in order to do this, in addition to the timely delivery of inventories from various mines, the entire Free Confederation must also unite and concentrate all sea and land transportation capabilities; with New World Company taking the lead, the goods will be loaded into warehouses and shipped to their destinations."

Speaking of this, Louis' expression became serious: "In this regard, Sail City is willing to provide maximum assistance, and there are not a single merchant ship left in all ports, and full support for this is very important to the entire Confederation and even the entire New World. trade activities to ensure that nothing goes wrong!”

The prosperity of the New World is based on trade with the Old World. Without alcohol, sugar, salt, textiles, and even all kinds of commodities that the colonies did not produce, or that produced very few commodities, the quality of life of millions of people would decline at an alarming rate, transforming To the point where it might even be inferior to the Aboriginal people - this is definitely no joke.

As governor of Sail City, Louis Bernard was of course well aware of this; although Anson's move was likely to further deepen his grip on the Free Confederacy, as long as it was in the interests of the colonists, he didn't mind being taken by the other side. "use".

………………

"Then what are you really doing for this?" Carl couldn't help asking.

"Yes, but not quite."

An Sen said calmly: "It's mainly because of the output of the Ice Dragon Fjord. It is still too little to negotiate with the three North Sea countries. It is not an order of magnitude at all. Only by tying up the entire Free Confederation can it be considered significant."

"Of course, the reverse is also true. There are not so many cargo ships in Beluga Port, and the three countries in the North Sea are currently preparing for war. I'm afraid it will be difficult to gather enough ships, so there is a lack of interest in trade with the colonies. ; but as long as we can figure out a way to get the raw materials to their ports, we’re not afraid they won’t place an order!”

After hearing this, Carl's face was startled, and he finally figured out Anson's entire plan.

This guy first tried to connect with the merchants of the three North Sea countries through "aid" to the five colonies in the east, promised the other party an astronomical order, and then turned around and took the order to find it because of the Ice Dragon Fjord rebellion. Free Confederations that have lost their export trade, let them hand over their cargo ships and stocks to themselves.

According to Anson Bach's plan, the Ice Dragon Fjord does not even need any inventory reserves during the whole process, and it can even make a lot of money by taking advantage of the information exchange between the two sides - in the eyes of the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea, the Ice Dragon Gorge The Governor of the Bay has become the de facto leader of the Free Confederacy, while reaping the infinite gratitude of the colonies.

"But if I'm not wrong, this plan has at least two risks." Carl raised his right index finger and thumb with a dignified expression:

"First, the entire Free Confederation may really have so much inventory, but it may not have the capacity to mobilize so much inventory. Even if there is, how can you make the thirteen colonies harmonize and complete the entire transportation without any loss? Work?"

"Secondly, even if the order is won, it does not mean that the Three Kingdoms of Beihai are really able to eat so much goods; this is one-third of the annual output of all the colonies in the New World, and they are still fighting, even if they can use it. Commodity mortgages, how can they guarantee that they are willing to take out so much hard currency?"

"If these two problems are not resolved, both parties who suffer the ultimate loss will release their grievances on us, and the Ice Dragon Fjord and the Storm Legion will be immediately rejected or even isolated!"

"Exactly, as expected of my chief of staff!"

An Sen, who was biting his pipe, was full of admiration in his eyes, but he was still not panicked: "Indeed, both issues are very difficult, and if the coordination is not good, the consequences will be extremely serious; and with the current situation, the probability of an accident is not to say 100%. One hundred percent, at least half to half."

"So to make sure nothing goes wrong, there has to be a new buyer who is responsible for providing the confidence and the bottom line if necessary."

"Who?"

Almost at the same time as Carl spoke, the closed door suddenly opened, and the blushing little secretary and the slightly dignified young knight entered the smoking room one after another; the latter almost immediately saw the pipe in Anson's hand. frowned.

"Respect Lord Anson, and Chief of Staff Carl Bain, please allow me to announce a good news to everyone!" Before the two of them turned their heads, Alan Dawn couldn't wait to open the mouth and said:

"President Reinhard's messenger arrived at Beluga Port early this morning, and sent the negotiating results of the largest chamber of commerce with Nakshire and the closest cooperation with the royal family!"

"They expressed their willingness to accept a 20 percent increase, but only if the freight must be borne by the Free Confederation, but the Chamber of Commerce was willing to contribute 30 percent as a 'parking fee'; at the same time, the business has exceeded their capacity limit , it will take at least a month to attract other chambers of commerce to join~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But!"

The little clerk paused suddenly, then took a long breath, and even leaned back with his body: "But no matter what the final result is, they will buy at least half of the raw materials; to show sincerity, they are willing to pay the market price first. The Confederacy delivers two hundred cases of jaggery and five hundred cases of salt and five hundred dozen rum as 'advance' for this order!"

"very good!"

Anson stood up abruptly, snuffed out the pipe in his hand at the same time, and looked at Louis with a smile: "Blessed by the ring of order, our plan has succeeded!"

"Yeah." The young knight also showed a stretched smile:

"Thank goodness the worst didn't happen, which is great."

Carl on the side looked at the two people who looked at each other with a tacit smile on their faces, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Yes, if it was the worst case, who else would be willing to stand up and be taken advantage of by Louis Bernard?
