Chapter 242

There is a good saying. After excluding all the impossible situations, the rest, no matter how unreasonable, is also the truth!

But he couldn't figure it out.

What good would that do them?

The market of magic crystal mine is so large, the consumption capacity of silver city has never changed, and there is little hope for profits

Why would he want to buy magic crystal mine?

Charles asked tentatively, "father? Shall we sell some magic crystal mines to raise money?"

"... no! Don't sell it yet! I suspect Victor's intention may be to want us to sell the magic crystal mine!"

Frank said coldly: "although this possibility is very small, excluding other factors, this is the most choice we should make in the current situation - and I'm afraid this is also the choice they want me to make, but I don't do it!"

When we don't know what to do, we only need to implement the most basic criterion: we don't give anything the enemy wants, and we don't do anything the enemy wants us to do. Although it may not be correct, we will never make mistakes.

"But in that case..."

Charles frowned slightly: "we can't raise enough funds. Once we fall into the quagmire of war preparation, I'm afraid the details of our cadier family will be dragged down."

"Compared with us, those talents sent by the royal family are more worried about this situation."

Frank said with a lukewarm smile, "the economic lifeline of the ilrus empire is controlled by our aristocrats. Less than one in ten falls in their hands. Why should they hold on with us? I'm glad to see that - they will collapse first."

"Not only that," Frank continued, "even if we really can't carry it, don't forget that we and the spade family are allies with the same interests. We borrow some funds from them and give them some benefits in return. I don't think it's a problem."

Seeing his father's insistence, Charles had to agree to his plan.

Although it may not be the right choice, it will certainly not be wrong, which is enough for them.

Time is on their side.

Morton was embarrassed. He couldn't understand what his brother was talking about with his father

Ilus palace.

"Frank, that old thing doesn't stand still?"

Hearing aubury's return, Victor frowned: "did he see through our intentions?"

"With all due respect, your majesty."

Adrian couldn't help saying, "it's really not a conspiracy plan - our goal is very obvious. Frank is not a fool. He will guess what we think."

"Guess what?"

O'brie disagreed: "I didn't intend to use it as a conspiracy from the beginning."

"Good."

Victor thought: "Baron Donne's plan is an open and aboveboard plan - what if they know our purpose? What we want is the magic crystal mine in your hand! Let go, don't let go? Don't let go? The cardier family will be seriously damaged by the implementation of the proposed provisional regulations. Let go? We will seize the opportunity in the coming era, and they will be punished as well Eliminated. "

If there are other terms, Victor, they will worry that they can't implement them because they touch too many interests, but the legal provisions related to mines... Hehe, there are two mining giants in the whole Ilus Empire, one is the spade family and the other is the Kadir family. Other sporadic small mines can't stand much influence at all.

As long as the new policy is implemented, the fool knows that the Royal faction has begun to attack the leader of the aristocracy.

As a last resort, Victor really didn't want to do that - if it wasn't for Donne's "identity", Victor didn't have the courage to accompany him in such a mess. This carelessness is a danger of subjugation

Under the calm water, the dark tide is surging, and many smell sensitive businessmen have noticed a trace of gunpowder. In particular, in recent days, the Grand Duke of oberli has been unconventional, patrolling the first imperial Legion every day, and several new interim regulations issued by his majesty Victor - although they have not been implemented, many sensitive businessmen have hoarded them for fear of tax increase As a result, the price of standard magic crystal in the market fell by one gold coin, and it is still falling rapidly.

In the black market, the price of the smuggled standard magic crystal has fallen from 90 gold coins to 85 gold coins, but because there is no tax, the profit is still much higher than that sold on the market.

The market of magic crystal of Ilus empire is so large. In just a few days, the shipment was out of control. The over saturation of the market led to the complete inability to sell magic crystal!

They can't export to the city of silver because they have begun to levy export tax.

Even some speculators want to take the opportunity to hoard some magic crystals, but they can't eat much in the huge amount in the market. They can't stir up any waves at all. On the contrary, they make those businessmen eager to sell more powerful.

The discerning people know that Victor's anger has been released for a long time. The target is the Kadir family - as for the spade family, fighting against these two families at one time, I'm afraid the economy of the whole Ilus empire will collapse completely, and Victor dare not take the risk. Therefore, the spade family sits firmly on the Diaoyutai for the time being - they don't do magic crystal business, So it's just a play.

The worst thing is the business alliance.

As a closed circle, they can't find their next home if they want to get rid of it.

"President nyander, good afternoon. I have a batch of magic crystals with high quality and low price. Would you like to have a look? Large quantity is preferred."

"President Ryan, you are joking. I also have a batch of magic crystals to deal with. I wonder if you are interested?"

“……”

“……”

"Why don't we go to leandre?"

"Yes, he should be interested..."

The large chambers of commerce that make up the Ilus business alliance are basically the best chambers of Commerce in the Ilus empire. The goods they hoard are not a little. In addition to their internal chambers of Commerce, the external miscellaneous chambers of Commerce really have no ability to take over their resources.

This has also led to a gloomy situation within the business alliance at the moment. Each of them has more or less hoarded some magic crystals. After all, this thing says whether it's expensive or not, whether it's cheap or not. When it's cheap, they can transport it to the silver city with other goods and make a lot of money as soon as they change hands. Therefore, they are happy to hoard magic crystals.

But now that the policy is down, they are all flustered.

The luxury consumption tax is as high as 50%!

The standard magic crystal with an original purchase price of 70 gold coins and a price of 100 gold coins will be subject to a tax of 50 gold coins! Even if the storage cost is not calculated, there is a net loss of 20 gold coins!

Unless the price rises to 150 gold coins, each standard magic crystal can only earn five gold coins - not to mention the large consumers of magic crystals, that is, those mages and masters, can't tolerate the price rise so much.

What should I do?

"The top priority now is to find a way to get rid of the accumulated magic crystal."

Since the loss of the deep-sea magic bead, Sidney was in a bad mood: "second, find a way to launch a joint protest and ask his majesty Victor to take back this idea."

"Viscount Sidney, don't forget that his majesty Victor no longer represents the interests of the nobility. He is on the opposite side of us."

A man nearby warned: "it can make us lose a lot of wealth and levy a lot of taxes. Of course, he is willing to do it. How can he change it?"

Strange to say, it is clear that the bottom businessmen and the nobility are incompatible classes, but the businessmen in the skin of the nobility, such as the business alliance, have joined the nobility against the Royal School, which may be the contradiction between the vested interests and the reformers.

"Now we can only hope on Grand Duke Frank. Victor did this, but how long can he endure cutting meat on him..."

Sidney muttered to himself: "in addition, I'm afraid if you want to get rid of the magic crystal..."

"By the way! What about Datang chamber of Commerce?"

A man suddenly said, "if you remember correctly, those products sold by Datang chamber of commerce need to consume magic crystals? At this time, they should take advantage of the low price to absorb magic crystals. Other chambers of Commerce have no ability, Datang chamber of commerce should be able to absorb some."

Everyone in the business alliance knows how strong the Datang chamber of commerce created by Donne has the ability to absorb money. Even though the business alliance has launched a joint blockade on them, it is embarrassing that Datang chamber of commerce does not need any supply of raw materials or any sales channels - its goods are produced in Ellington, and its sales is a direct sales model.

It completely ignores the blockade of the business alliance and sells as it should. I'm afraid the only trouble caused by the so-called blockade to Datang chamber of commerce is that his employees will have a little trouble when eating out, because the nearby restaurant selling food is the industry of the business alliance.

This makes the blockade and sanctions of the business alliance a joke.

"That's right!"

The man's eyes lit up: "it's said that Datang chamber of commerce is absorbing magic crystals in the market recently. Although the price is very low, it can at least keep the principal without compensation now! There are nearly 100000 magic crystals in my warehouse. If I don't get rid of them as soon as possible before the tax increase, I'll lose blood."

"But we are now blocking the Datang chamber of Commerce. Don't we embarrass ourselves by selling them..."

As soon as the man's voice fell, a group of people changed their faces, embarrassed and embarrassed.

Especially president Sidney, his face was red and white, and he simply didn't know how to face the members' eyes.

Unexpectedly, the sanctions against Datang chamber of Commerce will eventually become sanctions against themselves
