The experts of the Alliance would go back to replenish their energy and then rest for three hours before taking shifts to guard the night. The density of the Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ants had decreased, but the danger was still not to be underestimated. They needed to have enough top experts to protect them, or else when the Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ants suddenly went berserk, normal players would not be able to resist.
Dongfang Qingyu first returned to the backyard, fed the gold-devouring beast, and excreted 298 ant coffee before returning to his office. Wang Feiyan had already sorted out all the documents. On the table, there were two stacks of documents that needed his attention, and another stack of higher documents on the right, which needed his signature.
As the City Lord of the Black Tortoise City, there were many plans that would not work without his signature. The first document Dongfang Qingyu picked up was about the price of food being lowered. He was immediately in a bad mood.
During the war, when the demand for food had been so high, it would have been a blessing not to raise the price, but to lower it, the absurdity of the world. After reading the document, his heart was heavy.
Farming had always been the main source of food. For thousands of years, nothing had changed. However, it had changed now, the East Sea.
After the East Ocean was opened, the rich ocean resources started to attack the agricultural industry. The agriculture industry required land, technology and time. There was no need for fishing. It was a business without cost. The ocean was rich in fish. Whoever caught it would get it. If they pulled it up, they would be able to sell it for money.
In the past, only the East Sea Port operated the fish farm business, and the price changed according to the grain situation in the Treasure Secret Realm, so that the price of food would not fluctuate too much. After that, the Second City of Qingsha appeared. Facing the natural granary of the ocean, the Second City of Qingsha was also vigorously excavating. The number of fish sold in the Central Plains began to increase, and the price of fish began to drop for the second time. The second drop in the price of fish was after the Furious Sea Dragons had integrated the fishermen into a treaty of nonaggression with the Port of the East Sea.
The fishermen had been rough before, and their ways were still barbaric, but after being threatened, they changed and began to compete with Port of the East Sea. The fishermen were more rascally, for their own benefit, and they ignored the big picture, and there were often big sales.
Most of the smuggling was done by the fishermen, and the third and most severe drop in the prices of the fish occurred after the stability of Ten Thousand Lanterns.
Ten Thousand Lamp City had long since taken over the treasure of the ocean. When everything was stabilized, it began to fully develop the resources of the ocean. It was different from the small skirmishes of the fishermen, and it was also different from the Second City of Qingsha. Along with the policy of the East Sea Port, Ten Thousand Lamp City had channels, connections, and completely ignoring the East Sea Port, it established its own set of rules. The most threatening thing for the East Sea Port was the price wars.
The price war was always the most direct and effective way of doing things in the new industry, and of course it was the most dangerous way of doing things, where the winner was king and the loser was king, and there was no turning back.
The City of Ten Thousand Lanterns was an alliance of capital forces, with enough connections for them to get enough orders. They might not make much, but they would not make a loss, which made Port of the East Sea very difficult, and the profits would be lost if the prices were lowered.
Moreover, if the price of fish is lowered, the price of food has to be lowered, or else, if the price of fish is lower than the price of food, the player will choose fish rather than food.
If the price was not lowered, the items would not be able to be sold.
The Black Tortoise City Corporation was in a bad situation. The reason for the Red Flame Green Mud Ball Ants was that they were spending money like water, or even burning money. Every day, whether they opened their eyes or not, they were burning money, a lot of it.
If the price was not lowered, the goods would not be sold, the company would have no money, and if the price was lowered, it would be almost impossible for it to rise again, and the company had argued about it for a long time, until it had no choice but to leave the problem to him.
According to the comments of some people in the company, they tended to lower the price. After all, only by solving the current problem could they think about it for a long time.
With the price lowered, the losses of the Black Tortoise City Group were greater than everyone else because the Black Tortoise City Group also had the Treasure Secret Realm.
"Don't you have any good suggestions?" Dongfang Qingyu glanced at Wang Feiyan and handed the question to the boss. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that his subordinate was irresponsible.
"We were going to make a fuss about transportation, but the Yellow River is under the control of the Deep Blue Plan, and the Yangtze River is still in the hands of the Imperial Court. Even if we control the River of Prayers, it won't be of much use." Wang Feiyan said.
"If we can't transport it, then what about sea transportation? I am the emissary of the East Sea. "Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Manager Xiao has also thought about this, but now is not the time to make too many enemies." Wang Feiyan said.
"Is there really no money in the account?" Dongfang Qingyu suspected that although he did not care much about the company's affairs and did not pay much attention to the finances, he knew that the company's ability to make money was still very strong, and it made a lot of money every day.
"Today, 1,032,000 shells were fired at the Red Flame Green Mud Ball Ants. Each shell cost 122 gold coins, and the tanks' wear and tear, maintenance, wages for the operators, and the replacement of the gun barrels had burned almost 1,300,000,000 on the tank side alone. On the battlefield, 3 people died. Out of the 450,000 members, 300,000 arrows were used, all kinds of props, grenades, pills, equipment maintenance, food, and so on. The preliminary statistic was 25.8 billion RMB, and the accidental injury was caused by the building and the other losses had yet to be calculated. Today, we have more than six hours. According to seven hours, we have lost 1.6 billion yuan. On average, we have more than 200 million yuan an hour." Wang Feiyan's memory was pretty good. She didn't even need to read the report to give out so much data.
"This kind of situation should be relatively rare. Do you usually need to burn so much money?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"I don't need it usually, but I burn money for 24 hours without stopping." Wang Feiyan paused for a moment, "The bill at the East Sea Port has not been settled yet."
"Damn, the more I talk about it, the more I feel like the Black Tortoise City Group can't be opened anymore." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"We have to have enough money to buy the bodies of the Red Flame Green Mire Ants, as well as the funds for Green Wood Manufacturing and the Green Wood Laboratory, as well as the funds for the Human Resources Department -" Wang Feiyan said.
"Stop!" Dongfang Qingyu took the thinnest one from the document, brushed it, and signed his name. This document was about increasing the number of ant coffee sold. During the period of burning money, there was no other income. Everyone had ideas about ant coffee.
Wang Feiyan stood at the side and watched quietly. Dongfang Qingyu hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he rejected the proposal to lower the price of grain. It was easy to lower the price, but it was difficult to transfer it back.
