Sim felt that he was simply a genius.
With just some data on paper, he judged the next move of his neighbor.
After discovering the situation, he immediately arranged for his salesmen to go to nearby mines to purchase inventory of copper ore, sulfur and other war materials.
Currently, 1,200 tons of copper are stored in the warehouse of the Horseshoe Trading Company. According to his calculations, every million rounds of full-power bombs produced by the New Alliance requires about 16 to 17 tons of copper.
To fight a local battle, one or two million rounds of ammunition must be available. To defeat the entire Xizhou City, at least one or two million rounds of ammunition must be required.
After all, the raiders are not fools either.
Under the guidance of the instructors of the army, these people have learned to dig trenches and squat bunkers. Honghe Town and the Snake Clan have fought for several months and have long experienced how difficult those people are.
As the horseshoe trading company raised the storage and reserve line, increased the purchase volume of copper ore and other materials, and reduced shipments, the price of copper ore in Honghe Town has increased by 20%, and the price of sulfur has increased by more than 30%.
And this is just the beginning.
He is still in the shopping stage. When his shopping is over, the warehouse will be filled with copper ores. At that time, he will pinch the source of shipments and take advantage of the time difference in the mine to increase production. It will be fine to increase the copper price by two or three times in a short period of time..
Of course.
He can't do this business alone.
The merchants do not have the right to issue tickets. The miners can issue tickets, and they are just dealers sandwiched between slave owners and merchants.
If you want to increase the price of copper ore, you must at least win over one or two mine owners with sufficient influence to cooperate with you.
But this is easy for Sim.
He has always had a good relationship with the nearby mine owners, and this is not the first time they have worked together.
……
The meeting hall of the Horseshoe Commercial Bank.
After hearing Sim's proposal, the man in luxurious clothes frowned slightly hesitantly.
...This idea does sound good, but it's not very good, right?
The man who spoke was Demps, and he had a great say in Honghe Town and even the Mining Association. The guarantee for all this was his 500 vicious thugs and the garbage mountain where he was fighting gold.
He admitted that the cakes he drew with Sim were indeed very attractive. Even if he didn't have to double or triple, it would only increase by 2 or 30%, which was enough for him to make a fortune.
However, he still had some concerns.
The Chewing Bone Tribe is the common enemy of all survivors.
If the new alliance intends to attack the Bone Chewing Tribe, it will definitely be a good thing for Honghe Town, both strategically and businessly.
Xizhou City was beaten down by the new alliance, and the left half of the Snake Clan sat on the gun holes of the blue jackets, and the pressure on Honghe Town would be much less.
Although the cake that Sim drew for him was very attractive, Demps still instinctively felt that back-stinging his allies was a bit unkind.
but……
Sim doesn't think so.
My dear friend, don’t think that this is a betrayal. Price increases are market behavior. It will be a matter of time before copper prices rise according to their buying method. Will you expand production if you don’t raise prices?We just helped them step on the accelerator.
Demps: Do they have to thank you for saying that?
Sim smiled and said: Of course.
Demps always felt that he was talking about fallacies, but he couldn't think of a reason to refute.
How do you need me to cooperate with you?
It's very simple. When necessary, you cooperate with us to issue a production reduction announcement. Whether it is a mine disaster or a mining equipment failure, it will reduce the issuance of tickets in the next quarter, but how to produce it or how to produce it.
Demps said nervously as he unconsciously grabbed the armrest of the chair.
What should I do if no one buys it after it is produced?
They issue tickets to avoid this problem.
There are too many uncertainties in spot trading. When we didn’t get the tickets before, everyone randomly dug a bunch of garbage, but no one bought it at all. Life was hungry and full.
It was not until the merchants in Honghe Town invented the tickets and stuffed the red and blue tickets into the pockets of those past traders that they slowly lived a good life.
It is precisely because of this that the slave owners are more sensitive to the model of ticket trading than the major trading companies that really make a big profit by ticketing.
Knowing what the guy in front of him was worried about, Sim gave him a confident smile.
Don't be nervous, my friend, imagine if the new alliance will go to war with the chewing bone tribe tomorrow, do you still have to worry that no one will buy the copper produced?Once the war machine starts, there is no reason to stop. We just hope that they will be bought at a 'more reasonable' price.
You don’t need to take any risks, and you can take away the big part of the profits. Don’t worry about not being able to sell them. We are willing to serve you!
After hearing the last sentence, Demps finally breathed a sigh of relief and his expression relaxed.
He picked up the pipe on the table and got up from the chair.
Then do what you said.
He doesn't want to think about the difficult things anymore, he can't figure them out anyway.
The reason why these businesses exist in Honghe Town is because these guys with a lot of tricks can help them sell the worthless garbage at a better price.
His bionic organs, bionic companions, and even the equipment of his thugs, the equipment of slaves mining, and the mercenaries who were fighting on the front line... were all bought with money.
As for what money is?
His understanding is that those red and blue tickets, the dinar of the Legion and the Cr of the Enterprise are also counted, although his intuition tells him that this is just an appearance, and it is too difficult to really figure it out.
Demps knew very well that he didn't have that brain, so he should let those who understand worry.
He just needs to know that he can earn more.
Looking at Demps who nodded in agreement, Sim stood up in joy and stretched out his right hand.
I wish us a happy cooperation!
Happy cooperation!
Send the mine boss away.
Sim, who returned to the office, finally couldn't hold it in his arms and laughed out loud.
Hahahahahaha!
Every time I deal with those mine bosses, it is the happiest time in his life.
Although they just gave them some soup, every time they told them that you could take away the big head, they nodded with confidence.
Copper ore, sulfur... Unfortunately, they can produce steel and aluminum themselves.
Silent laughter, walked to the wall, stared at the map and looked at it for a moment, and continued thoughtfully.
But it was a surprise... I thought they would expand to the west.
To the south of the new alliance is the Rock City, and to the east is nearly 100 kilometers of wasteland, and it is the kind that has no water source.
Compared to going north, the benefits of going west will be significantly greater.
After all, Qingquan City is located in the middle of the plains in the southern part of the river valley province. There are lakes and rivers to the west, and it is mainly plains and forests, with only a few hills.
And if you go north, it is like diving into the mountains.
Why bother?
What else can I have to be there?
At this time, the knock on the door of the office interrupted Sim's thoughts.
Please come in.
The door is open.
His subordinate, Enjet, walked in from outside with a list in his hand.
Boss, today's inventory data has come out, and our copper reserves have increased to 500 tons!
very good!
Sim's face was filled with a bright smile, and he took another big step from his 1,000-ton plan.
By the way, the boss... we went to the caravan in Shuguang City and heard a rumor there. I feel that you may care more.
Sim: What rumors?
Enjet hesitated for a moment and whispered.
...They heard from people in the tavern that a copper mine with a reserve of one million tons was found in the mountainous area in the northern part of Yuanxi Town.
Sim was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded.
Let’s talk nonsense!
These cunning blue gobies are quite smart.
This only increased by 20%, and I realized that someone was following them to buy goods.
However, this counterattack method is really a bit sensible.
Is it possible that the new alliance has really discovered a copper mine with a reserve of one million tons?
Of course there is!
But this possibility is too small, and the timing is too coincidental!
I didn’t notice it early or late, but I just discovered it when the copper price rose?
And it is a million tons, which must be a big mine vein.
What a scam!
If they really discovered a copper mine with such a large reserve, with their demand for copper, they would definitely repair the road as soon as possible and then go to the outpost...
etc.
road?!
Sim's face changed slightly, and he returned to the map and stared at the railway line on the map.
According to the information collected by the caravans under his business, the new alliance has been paving the railway northward. The railway has been paving from the industrial area of Shuguang City to the edge of the Yumu District.
He had been unable to figure out why the new alliance had to go north with thankless efforts.
And now, he vaguely guessed their intention to do so.
If that rumor is true...
Is the rumors reliable?Any other clues?
Looking at the boss with an ugly face, Enjet quickly shook his head.
there is none left!
Sim, who was holding his arms in front of his chest and facing his back to his hands, staring at the map, biting his thumb, his mind spinning rapidly.
After a while, he calmed down.
So what if copper ore is discovered?
It takes time to mine.
Looking back at his subordinates, Sim immediately ordered.
Let our caravan pay more attention to this information, and I need to know more information!
Enjet nodded quickly.
yes!
……
Have you heard of it?Copper mine was discovered in Yuanxi Town!
True or fake?
have no idea!I also heard from the drunkard in the hotel in Highway Town!I heard from those people that those blue jackets had someone in their hands to connect to the geographic information data of the era. They had long discovered the copper mine in Yuanxi Town, but they had not made any statements. They had been able to hide it recently and had only come out!
I think it makes some sense... Otherwise, why did they pave the railway north?Is there anything that needs transportation there?
Speaking of which, has anyone ever been to Yuanxi Town?
What are you doing in that place? There is not even a post station. Moreover, Yuanxi Town is chewing bones to the north. The soldiers stationed there are soldiers from the New Alliance who are wandering around and are careful to be arrested by spies who are regarded as plunderers. Then there will be a long explanation.
Dawn City.
The door of the trading post.
Several merchants waiting for the delivery of goods were lined up and bragging there.
They are all businessmen from Honghe Town, but they do different transactions.
Just as they were chatting, an electric mule drove into the trading post.
Seeing the roller-shaped equipment unloaded by loading and unloading workers from the carriage, many people who were aware of the goods showed a surprised expression in their eyes.
Multi-cylinder hydraulic crusher?
I have seen this thing, imported from Jishi City, and I heard that second-hand equipment costs 20,000 yuan in bargaining chips.
...It seems to be true.
Next to the truck with the horseshoe business badge printed, the caravan captain's face was slightly solemn.
That night, he reported the news to the person in charge of the business.
In fact, he doesn't need to report it at all.
In a few days, the news that Yuanxi Town discovered a super-large copper mine was spread to Honghe Town along the commercial road.
As one of the main buyers of copper mines in Honghe Town, the New Alliance discovered copper mines, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for large mine owners who relied on exporting copper mines to exchange bullets, shells and other industrial products.
When the wave broke out in Qingquan City before, the new alliance increased the purchase volume of copper ore. They made a lot of money by trading copper ore, and some powerful mine owners took advantage of the opportunity to increase their output.
If the price of copper ore fluctuates significantly in the future, or even goes downward...
Regardless of whether production is reduced in the next quarter, for those miners, the most urgent task now is to take advantage of the inflated copper prices and try to remove inventory as much as possible.
Yes.
It seems that the new alliance is going to fight, but this has not been fought yet.
War is expected, and copper mine discovery is also expected.
These are clues they analyzed based on limited information, not official documents written on black and white.
The increase in copper mine procurement can be interpreted as increasing arms reserves, and of course it can also be interpreted as increasing power equipment. The purpose of nitric acid and sulfuric acid is not only used in many industries, including pickling for steelmaking, etc.
Any logic has positive and negative consequences.
But one thing is likely to happen.
If the new alliance really discovers copper mines...
If you don’t have a good war, you have to ease it.
Honghe Town does not have only one business, nor does it have only one mine.
When the same price rose before, many people tacitly followed the horseshoe trading company to buy goods, but now they tacitly lowered the copper reserve line and threw the copper in their hands off the market.
When the growth rate of shipments significantly exceeds the growth rate of demand, what will happen next is also obvious.
Sim soon vomited blood and found that before he could backstab his neighbor, he was stabbed by his own person in the back.
These dogs sold out indiscriminately, and they beat the 20% price he had finally pushed up.
The Horseshoe Trading warehouse is now full of copper.
Just because of the copper mine that I don’t know if it exists, the mine owners and business owners of the entire Honghe Town have become idiots.
Yes.
Just a fool.
At least in Sim's eyes, these people are just a little smarter than donkeys and will not be more.
Can't these stupid things wait for a while?
So what if they have copper ore?I'll assume they have it!Can the copper ingots grow out of the ground by themselves tomorrow?
The office was filled with roars of anger.
Enjet, who was standing aside, held his breath and did not dare to take a breath.
Finally, he had vented enough, Sim looked at him and said word by word.
How much budget do we have?
Njet answered quickly.
Without affecting other businesses... we can still purchase about 700 tons. Enjet looked at his boss carefully. In fact, he could only buy more than 400 tons, but the copper price has fallen a little recently, so we can buy more...
700 tons!
Compared to the nearly 10,000 tons of reserves released by these fools, it is a drop in the bucket!
Sim, who was so angry that he almost vomited blood, took a deep breath and calmed down.
Apart from these procurement budgets, he no longer had enough tickets to buy more copper mines from the mine owner.
Borrow someone else's ticket to buy?
This is not enough to borrow!
Besides, even if he can borrow it, he cannot rely on his own business to eat all the goods that have overflowed from the inventory of other businesses and mines.
Once he really does this, his fate will go from being cut by the person who cuts the leeks to being cut by others.
Who is most worried about the decline in copper prices?
That must be the person who bought it with N times leverage.
Once other businesses find out that they are storing a warehouse of copper mines with their backs, they will definitely laugh and then decisively sell more copper mines to him.
In fact, there is no need for N times. As long as 80% of the copper in the market is in his hands, no matter whether he adds 80% leverage or 800% leverage, he will be determined to take over the dealer.
These damn blue gophers!
Sim held it in for a long time, but he didn't think about how to scold the people in the northern suburbs. Finally, he squeezed out this sentence from his teeth.
Until now, he still firmly believes that the new alliance will definitely send troops to the Chewing Bone Tribe.
But what's the use of just him believing?
Can the market be influenced by a person's perception?
Old, boss, Enjet said carefully, "Are we still buying it?"
Buy it!
Sim couldn't help but curse.
Looking at his helpless subordinates, he took a deep breath and controlled his emotions.
The library storage backup line remains unchanged...
Enjet hesitated: The copper in the warehouse...
Sim said gritting his teeth.
Stay!
He is a person who makes a lot of money.
Those stupid donkeys who have no choice but to sell them if they want to sell them. Even if the copper ore drops to the same price as the iron ore, they will not take action.
This battle will start sooner or later!
It will grow back sooner or later!
……
Don’t you want to make a fortune with your brothers?
Don’t blame me for not helping you. Buy it quickly. If you don’t buy it, you won’t be able to buy it!
Looking at the report sent by the Honghe Town Military Base, Chu Guang couldn't help laughing.
The news was right, but he didn't expect it to work so well.
Copper ore prices fell 37%!
The supply has increased by four times!
And this was based on two weeks ago, and the effect of the smoke bomb far exceeded Chu Guang's initial expectations.
He originally wanted the price to return to rationality, but the owners of the mine owners and the bosses of the business bank heard that the new alliance had discovered copper mines. One and two of them had lowered the copper mine reserve lines in their own warehouses. Not only did they follow him to sweep the horseshoe business to buy copper mines and eat a lot of goods, but the caravans formed by the new alliance were also filled with cheap copper mines.
Since copper ores mostly exist in the form of sulfides, the price of sulfur has also been affected.
Considering that their major customers may not buy these two things from them in the future, reducing inventory while they can be sold at a good price is the safest choice.
However, once the sell-off begins, it is likely that the market will dominate emotions rather than logic.
Later, not only major commercial banks were selling, but caravans coming to Honghe Town also chose to wait a little longer to see if they could buy cheaper ones.
And big copper mine consumers like the New Alliance naturally became the biggest winners.
In fact, it is of course an option to defeat Honghe Town, and it will not be difficult.
Chu Guang sent a mission directly, asking the players on the front line to support Honghe Town to turn their guns to attack the surrounding NPCs, tear a gap directly on the defense line, put the plunderers of the Snake Clan in, and then send troops to clean up the mess.
The strength of a regiment is enough.
The only risk is that the Ya clan gets news from the Snake clan, takes the opportunity to go south to fight Qiufeng, and surround Wei and save Zhao.
After all, it is not a turn-based game. When you do it yourself, the probability of others standing still is very small.
But the problem lies here.
Since it is not a turn-based game, war still has to be based on the target of the war and make some considerations about the means and reasons.
This reason is divided into two types: internal and external.
It is enough to use the reason for liberating slaves internally. The residents of the new alliance support him from the heart, and the players only have an expansion pack.
Use a planned vest to issue a declaration of war, which can save you even explanations. The best place for players is here. If you can explain, use the plot to justify it. If you can’t explain, use the settings to explain it.
Lordaeron's filial son was able to kill his father with one sword. My manager was in a bad mood today. What happened to him to turn evil and stab a teammate?It's reasonable that there is no signing a contract!
But to the outside world, this reason is difficult to explain.
From the Rock City to the Garbage City, and to the distant residences of other survivors, although they all opposed the predators, none of them were anti-slavery. Some only recognized legitimacy, while others allowed transactions but did not allow private execution.
Many slaves in the mines in Honghe Town are themselves plunderers who were captured by other survivors.
It would be better to just not make this excuse to proclaim them with the reasons for liberating slaves. If you don’t agree, you will start fighting when others are confused, and the impact of expansion will be smaller.
Using abolitionist as an excuse for war, the debuff of diplomatic punishment may be higher than the chewing tribe.
Some things require soil, and advanced people can match advanced ideas. Whether it is the 117th refuge or the 401th refuge, the final result is only one reason for their ultimate failure, that is, they did not consider the actual situation of the wasteland, or considered but could not let go of the reserve of civilized people.
They think it's good, but maybe others don't think so.
They can see what happens ten years later, but the people they are managed may just want to live in the present.
Just like Boss Xia always likes to be lazy before, although Chu Guang has teased her a lot, he has never really thrown her out.
He was not born as a manager. He lived at the bottom and understood how she felt when she was in that position.
Not everything is right or wrong.
On the contrary, Xiaoyu's kind-hearted and sensible look sometimes makes him feel distressed.
Looking at the manager with optimistic faces on his face, Old Charlie's expression was still a little worried.
The price of raw materials is of course worthy of happiness.
But falling too fast will eventually hurt themselves.
I must remind you that the decline in copper ore and sulfur prices is due to the release of inventory, not due to the increase in production capacity.If those miners cut production as a result, the price of copper mines may grow higher in a few months.
You are right, so we have to rely on ourselves to solve the supply of raw materials.
Chu Guang put down the report in his hand and looked at Old Charlie standing opposite the desk.
According to the data feedback from the Logistics Department, we have reserved 700 tons of copper and about 1,200 tons on the road. These resources are enough for our consumption in the next three months!
With the current production efficiency of industrial areas, 167 tons of copper is required to produce 1 million bullets.
Just making bullets, these 1,200 tons of copper can make more than 71 million rounds.
It is impossible to use so many bullets to attack Xizhou City, and not even half of them are used.
In the early stage, he only planned to prepare 5 million rounds of ammunition, and then he could produce while shooting.
It is expected that by the end of the war, the total ammunition consumption will not exceed 10 million rounds.
...You really don't leave any way out for yourself.
Looking at the old man with a surprised face, Chu Guang smiled faintly, got up and walked to the wall, and whispered to the marks filled with them.
I will liberate Xizhou from the hands of the chewing bone tribe within a month.
Our mining team will take the equipment and set off with the shells we sent to the front line.
After that, no matter whether the copper and sulfur in our neighbor's house were sold at a high price or cheap price, it had nothing to do with us.
Anyway, we won't buy it from them in the future.
With just some data on paper, he judged the next move of his neighbor.
After discovering the situation, he immediately arranged for his salesmen to go to nearby mines to purchase inventory of copper ore, sulfur and other war materials.
Currently, 1,200 tons of copper are stored in the warehouse of the Horseshoe Trading Company. According to his calculations, every million rounds of full-power bombs produced by the New Alliance requires about 16 to 17 tons of copper.
To fight a local battle, one or two million rounds of ammunition must be available. To defeat the entire Xizhou City, at least one or two million rounds of ammunition must be required.
After all, the raiders are not fools either.
Under the guidance of the instructors of the army, these people have learned to dig trenches and squat bunkers. Honghe Town and the Snake Clan have fought for several months and have long experienced how difficult those people are.
As the horseshoe trading company raised the storage and reserve line, increased the purchase volume of copper ore and other materials, and reduced shipments, the price of copper ore in Honghe Town has increased by 20%, and the price of sulfur has increased by more than 30%.
And this is just the beginning.

At that time, he will pinch the source of shipments and take advantage of the time difference in the mine to increase production. It will be fine to increase the copper price by two or three times in a short period of time..
Of course.
He can't do this business alone.
The merchants do not have the right to issue tickets. The miners can issue tickets, and they are just dealers sandwiched between slave owners and merchants.
If you want to increase the price of copper ore, you must at least win over one or two mine owners with sufficient influence to cooperate with you.
But this is easy for Sim.
He has always had a good relationship with the nearby mine owners, and this is not the first time they have worked together.

Let our caravan pay more attention to this information, and I need to know more information!
Enjet nodded quickly.
yes!
……
Have you heard of it?Copper mine was discovered in Yuanxi Town!
True or fake?
have no idea!I also heard from the drunkard in the hotel in Highway Town!I heard from those people that those blue jackets had someone in their hands to connect to the geographic information data of the era. They had long discovered the copper mine in Yuanxi Town, but they had not made any statements. They had been able to hide it recently and had only come out!
I think it makes some sense... Otherwise, why did they pave the railway north?Is there anything that needs transportation there?
Speaking of which, has anyone ever been to Yuanxi Town?
What are you doing in that place? There is not even a post station. Moreover, Yuanxi Town is chewing bones to the north. The soldiers stationed there are soldiers from the New Alliance who are wandering around and are careful to be arrested by spies who are regarded as plunderers. Then there will be a long explanation.
Dawn City.
The door of the trading post.
Several merchants waiting for the delivery of goods were lined up and bragging there.
They are all businessmen from Honghe Town, but they do different transactions.
Just as they were chatting, an electric mule drove into the trading post.
Seeing the roller-shaped equipment unloaded by loading and unloading workers from the carriage, many people who were aware of the goods showed a surprised expression in their eyes.
Multi-cylinder hydraulic crusher?
I have seen this thing, imported from Jishi City, and I heard that second-hand equipment costs 20,000 yuan in bargaining chips.
...It seems to be true.
Next to the truck with the horseshoe business badge printed, the caravan captain's face was slightly solemn.
That night, he reported the news to the person in charge of the business.
In fact, he doesn't need to report it at all.
In a few days, the news that Yuanxi Town discovered a super-large copper mine was spread to Honghe Town along the commercial road.
As one of the main buyers of copper mines in Honghe Town, the New Alliance discovered copper mines, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for large mine owners who relied on exporting copper mines to exchange bullets, shells and other industrial products.
When the wave broke out in Qingquan City before, the new alliance increased the purchase volume of copper ore. They made a lot of money by trading copper ore, and some powerful mine owners took advantage of the opportunity to increase their output.
If the price of copper ore fluctuates significantly in the future, or even goes downward...
Regardless of whether production is reduced in the next quarter, for those miners, the most urgent task now is to take advantage of the inflated copper prices and try to remove inventory as much as possible.
Yes.
It seems that the new alliance is going to fight, but this has not been fought yet.
War is expected, and copper mine discovery is also expected.
These are clues they analyzed based on limited information, not official documents written on black and white.
The increase in copper mine procurement can be interpreted as increasing arms reserves, and of course it can also be interpreted as increasing power equipment. The purpose of nitric acid and sulfuric acid is not only used in many industries, including pickling for steelmaking, etc.
Any logic has positive and negative consequences.
But one thing is likely to happen.
If the new alliance really discovers copper mines...
If you don’t have a good war, you have to ease it.
Honghe Town does not have only one business, nor does it have only one mine.
When the same price rose before, many people tacitly followed the horseshoe trading company to buy goods, but now they tacitly lowered the copper reserve line and threw the copper in their hands off the market.
When the growth rate of shipments significantly exceeds the growth rate of demand, what will happen next is also obvious.
Sim soon vomited blood and found that before he could backstab his neighbor, he was stabbed by his own person in the back.
These dogs sold out indiscriminately, and they beat the 20% price he had finally pushed up.
The Horseshoe Trading warehouse is now full of copper.
Just because of the copper mine that I don’t know if it exists, the mine owners and business owners of the entire Honghe Town have become idiots.
Yes.
Just a fool.
At least in Sim's eyes, these people are just a little smarter than donkeys and will not be more.
Can't these stupid things wait for a while?
So what if they have copper ore?I'll assume they have it!Can the copper ingots grow out of the ground by themselves tomorrow?
The office was filled with roars of anger.
Enjet, who was standing aside, held his breath and did not dare to take a breath.
Finally, he had vented enough, Sim looked at him and said word by word.
How much budget do we have?
Njet answered quickly.
Without affecting other businesses... we can still purchase about 700 tons. Enjet looked at his boss carefully. In fact, he could only buy more than 400 tons, but the copper price has fallen a little recently, so we can buy more...
700 tons!
Compared to the nearly 10,000 tons of reserves released by these fools, it is a drop in the bucket!
Sim, who was so angry that he almost vomited blood, took a deep breath and calmed down.
Apart from these procurement budgets, he no longer had enough tickets to buy more copper mines from the mine owner.
Borrow someone else's ticket to buy?
This is not enough to borrow!
Besides, even if he can borrow it, he cannot rely on his own business to eat all the goods that have overflowed from the inventory of other businesses and mines.
Once he really does this, his fate will go from being cut by the person who cuts the leeks to being cut by others.
Who is most worried about the decline in copper prices?
That must be the person who bought it with N times leverage.
Once other businesses find out that they are storing a warehouse of copper mines with their backs, they will definitely laugh and then decisively sell more copper mines to him.
In fact, there is no need for N times. As long as 80% of the copper in the market is in his hands, no matter whether he adds 80% leverage or 800% leverage, he will be determined to take over the dealer.
These damn blue gophers!
Sim held it in for a long time, but he didn't think about how to scold the people in the northern suburbs. Finally, he squeezed out this sentence from his teeth.
Until now, he still firmly believes that the new alliance will definitely send troops to the Chewing Bone Tribe.
But what's the use of just him believing?
Can the market be influenced by a person's perception?
Old, boss, Enjet said carefully, "Are we still buying it?"
Buy it!
Sim couldn't help but curse.
Looking at his helpless subordinates, he took a deep breath and controlled his emotions.
The library storage backup line remains unchanged...
Enjet hesitated: The copper in the warehouse...
Sim said gritting his teeth.
Stay!
He is a person who makes a lot of money.
Those stupid donkeys who have no choice but to sell them if they want to sell them. Even if the copper ore drops to the same price as the iron ore, they will not take action.
This battle will start sooner or later!
It will grow back sooner or later!
……
Don’t you want to make a fortune with your brothers?
Don’t blame me for not helping you. Buy it quickly. If you don’t buy it, you won’t be able to buy it!
Looking at the report sent by the Honghe Town Military Base, Chu Guang couldn't help laughing.
The news was right, but he didn't expect it to work so well.
Copper ore prices fell 37%!
The supply has increased by four times!
And this was based on two weeks ago, and the effect of the smoke bomb far exceeded Chu Guang's initial expectations.
He originally wanted the price to return to rationality, but the owners of the mine owners and the bosses of the business bank heard that the new alliance had discovered copper mines. One and two of them had lowered the copper mine reserve lines in their own warehouses. Not only did they follow him to sweep the horseshoe business to buy copper mines and eat a lot of goods, but the caravans formed by the new alliance were also filled with cheap copper mines.
Since copper ores mostly exist in the form of sulfides, the price of sulfur has also been affected.
Considering that their major customers may not buy these two things from them in the future, reducing inventory while they can be sold at a good price is the safest choice.
However, once the sell-off begins, it is likely that the market will dominate emotions rather than logic.
Later, not only major commercial banks were selling, but caravans coming to Honghe Town also chose to wait a little longer to see if they could buy cheaper ones.
And big copper mine consumers like the New Alliance naturally became the biggest winners.
In fact, it is of course an option to defeat Honghe Town, and it will not be difficult.
Chu Guang sent a mission directly, asking the players on the front line to support Honghe Town to turn their guns to attack the surrounding NPCs, tear a gap directly on the defense line, put the plunderers of the Snake Clan in, and then send troops to clean up the mess.
The strength of a regiment is enough.
The only risk is that the Ya clan gets news from the Snake clan, takes the opportunity to go south to fight Qiufeng, and surround Wei and save Zhao.
After all, it is not a turn-based game. When you do it yourself, the probability of others standing still is very small.
But the problem lies here.
Since it is not a turn-based game, war still has to be based on the target of the war and make some considerations about the means and reasons.
This reason is divided into two types: internal and external.
It is enough to use the reason for liberating slaves internally. The residents of the new alliance support him from the heart, and the players only have an expansion pack.
Use a planned vest to issue a declaration of war, which can save you even explanations. The best place for players is here. If you can explain, use the plot to justify it. If you can’t explain, use the settings to explain it.
Lordaeron's filial son was able to kill his father with one sword. My manager was in a bad mood today. What happened to him to turn evil and stab a teammate?It's reasonable that there is no signing a contract!
But to the outside world, this reason is difficult to explain.
From the Rock City to the Garbage City, and to the distant residences of other survivors, although they all opposed the predators, none of them were anti-slavery. Some only recognized legitimacy, while others allowed transactions but did not allow private execution.
Many slaves in the mines in Honghe Town are themselves plunderers who were captured by other survivors.
It would be better to just not make this excuse to proclaim them with the reasons for liberating slaves. If you don’t agree, you will start fighting when others are confused, and the impact of expansion will be smaller.
Using abolitionist as an excuse for war, the debuff of diplomatic punishment may be higher than the chewing tribe.
Some things require soil, and advanced people can match advanced ideas. Whether it is the 117th refuge or the 401th refuge, the final result is only one reason for their ultimate failure, that is, they did not consider the actual situation of the wasteland, or considered but could not let go of the reserve of civilized people.
They think it's good, but maybe others don't think so.
They can see what happens ten years later, but the people they are managed may just want to live in the present.
Just like Boss Xia always likes to be lazy before, although Chu Guang has teased her a lot, he has never really thrown her out.
He was not born as a manager. He lived at the bottom and understood how she felt when she was in that position.
Not everything is right or wrong.
On the contrary, Xiaoyu's kind-hearted and sensible look sometimes makes him feel distressed.
Looking at the manager with optimistic faces on his face, Old Charlie's expression was still a little worried.
The price of raw materials is of course worthy of happiness.
But falling too fast will eventually hurt themselves.
I must remind you that the decline in copper ore and sulfur prices is due to the release of inventory, not due to the increase in production capacity.If those miners cut production as a result, the price of copper mines may grow higher in a few months.
You are right, so we have to rely on ourselves to solve the supply of raw materials.
Chu Guang put down the report in his hand and looked at Old Charlie standing opposite the desk.
According to the data feedback from the Logistics Department, we have reserved 700 tons of copper and about 1,200 tons on the road. These resources are enough for our consumption in the next three months!
With the current production efficiency of industrial areas, 167 tons of copper is required to produce 1 million bullets.
Just making bullets, these 1,200 tons of copper can make more than 71 million rounds.
It is impossible to use so many bullets to attack Xizhou City, and not even half of them are used.
In the early stage, he only planned to prepare 5 million rounds of ammunition, and then he could produce while shooting.
It is expected that by the end of the war, the total ammunition consumption will not exceed 10 million rounds.
...You really don't leave any way out for yourself.
Looking at the old man with a surprised face, Chu Guang smiled faintly, got up and walked to the wall, and whispered to the marks filled with them.
I will liberate Xizhou from the hands of the chewing bone tribe within a month.
Our mining team will take the equipment and set off with the shells we sent to the front line.
After that, no matter whether the copper and sulfur in our neighbor's house were sold at a high price or cheap price, it had nothing to do with us.
Anyway, we won't buy it from them in the future.
