C2590 The Fight for Resources(part I)
With the rise of the East Sea, ships became more and more important. Tong Ma Oil rose with the tide. The price continued to rise. Just yesterday, the price had already exceeded 200 silver coins. It was extremely exaggerated, and judging from the situation, this was not the highest price. It should still rise, so Tong Ma Oil was being snatched away.
The four shipyards joined in the bidding for Tong Ma Oil. The four shipyards took action. How could the rest of the shipyards dare not move? Starting from the tuna oil, the wood, canvas, fishing nets and crossbow arrow related materials had also been seized. The supply was not up to demand, and the prices of all kinds of materials were soaring.
All the big shops were sold out. The black market, Grass Market, and the small merchants were not spared. The salesmen of the four shipyards went deep into the small merchants and bought them one by one.
"This is the blue spider silk. Look clearly, it's not the other spiders. The silk that the blue spider spat out is the most suitable for fighting on the sea. It is tough and not wet. Whether it's used as a fishing line or a fishing net, it's a top grade. The length of this spider silk is 186. 3 meters, I only want you 360 silver coins, absolutely not much. You can ask around, who else is cheaper than me?" The hunter's expression was exaggerated. It had an expression that said, I'm thinking for you. If he missed this chance, there wouldn't be this shop in the village.
"350 silver coins." The salesperson's expression wasn't very good. The blue spider silk was indeed a top grade material. However, not every blue spider's spider silk was from before. The hunter's spider silk was from a level 89 blue spider. The value of the spider silk was greatly reduced. It could be bought between 280-290 silver coins during normal times. Now that it was 30% more, did he really think of him as a Ha'Er?
"I've said so much, but you still don't believe me. Since you're not sincere, then forget it. You can go somewhere else and take a look." The hunter sighed.
"Deal!" The Jade Sea Azure Sky salesperson looked at the other party pretending to leave. It was too fake. He wanted to give the other party two slaps in his heart, but the bigger picture was more important, so he held it in.
"I knew we had something in common." The hunter fell back with a swoosh. Its eyes shone with greed, and it did not feel embarrassed or embarrassed at all.
In a corner of the Grass Market, although the place was remote, there were quite a number of people. There were five or six players competing for a thick and long piece of wood, and they were surrounded by onlookers.
"230 gold!"
"231 gold coins!"
"235 gold coins!"
......
There were very few items in the Grass Market that could exceed 100 gold coins. Usually, these items would appear, proving that they were good items. Looking at the expressions of the competitors, this was only the beginning. The real turning point had yet to arrive.
The wood was black, and it was 105 meters in length. The largest one was 3.6 meters in diameter. The end of the wood was slightly smaller, and it had a diameter of around 60 centimeters.
"300 gold coins!"
"305 gold coins!"
"Three hundred and ten gold coins!"
......
The price quickly exceeded 300 gold coins, and their anger slowly rose. The price increased by 5 gold coins and 5 gold coins. At this moment, a hunter approached and glanced at it. He was stunned for a moment, and a trace of envy flashed across his eyes. He muttered, "So it's a downhill tree. It's such a big piece. No wonder you fought so hard for it."
The slope wood was the best dragon bone material for shipbuilding. There was a saying that stated that it was a slope wood with a thousand gold pieces. Even such a big piece of wood could be auctioned off. He didn't know why the owner of the Slope Basin Wood would be placed in the wild market.
Just as the hunter was distracted for a moment, the competition for the Slope Rampart came to an end. It was won by the sales staff of Jade Sea Azure Sky for 780 gold coins. The surrounding people began to whisper. They were shocked by this price. The sales clerk of Jade Sea Azure Sky had gotten the sandalwood, but there was no joy on his face. Instead, there was a bit of regret and worry.
If it was in the past, 550-600 gold would have been enough, but now there was a total of 180 gold. Bringing the slope wood back was not considered a meritorious deed.
"Only now do I know why there are so few shipyards. One log is close to 800,000, how many logs does a big ship cost? Add other parts, cannons, and so on. Damn it. This is a metal-devouring beast. " The voice of a small player rang out in the crowd.
"The materials are only one aspect, and the technology is another. Money alone is not enough. One must have the technology. Only by combining the two together can one enter the industry. Otherwise, you will only lose everything. In the beginning, there were more than 20 shipyards of various sizes. Did they not have money? Obviously not. What they lacked was technology. Without technology, there would be no competition. In the end, they were all eliminated. The one with the unique money, the richest man in Shanxi, also opened a shipyard back then. In the end... "
Hunter shook his head and left.
Theoretically, a vicious competition would only benefit others. He would be at a disadvantage, but most of the time, competition would not kill him. The four shipyards refused to compromise. The price of the materials was getting higher and higher. Other industries followed the trend and also began to raise the price. The players complained.
The top ten super forces also had complaints, but the four big shipyards were all rich. The background was frightening. The ten super forces could only say ugly things in private. On the stage, it was very quiet. Each and every one of them kept silent.
...
Dongfang Qingyu did not say that he would not log off after entering the National Guardian. He had also logged off. It was just that the frequency at which he logged off was obviously lower than before, and the time he logged off was also shorter. It was basically late at night, and the morning sky was not completely bright yet. Lin Huo Huo was still sleeping soundly, but he had already woken up and logged on.
Jian Jia seemed to have some resentment towards her father for not being able to see him for a long time. In the beginning, she was very emotional. She resisted Dongfang Qingyu's invitation until Dongfang Qingyu carried him and ran back and forth in the living room. She only became happy when she lifted him up and made some swinging movements.
Lin Huo Huo was leaning against the sofa, her collar hanging down, revealing a large patch of snow. She didn't care. She watched the father and daughter play with a smile on her face.
When she was young, she did not know what she was worried about. After getting pregnant, she was worried about personal gains and losses, worried that the child she gave birth to wouldn't look good. She was worried that there would be flaws in it. She was worried that Dongfang Qingyu would not like the child she gave birth to. Or perhaps... After calling him a boy, Dongfang Qingyu did not like him. He was even more worried that Dongfang Qingyu did not like children at all.
When they were dating and chatting, the two of them had also talked about this topic. At that time, Dongfang Qingyu had expressed that he liked children, no matter if it was a girl or a boy. He would like them all. However, no matter what he said, anyone would say nice things. If it really was born, it would be a completely different attitude. Lin Huo Huo didn't say it on the surface, but he was still worried in his heart.
Now that she saw Dongfang Qingyu and Jian Jia playing so happily, she felt a trace of uneasiness. It quietly dissipated. Dongfang Qingyu was not a diligent person, nor was he a proactive person. But his love for Jian Jia was sincere. Unless it was a special case, he would always log off early at night. The time to log in was also delayed a lot. She had to tease Jian Jia every time. The laughter of a child echoed in the living room. Her mood was also relaxed and happy.
When Lin Qian'er logged out, she saw Dongfang Qingyu, and the worried look on her face immediately relaxed. Her footsteps also became light. Because she was at home, she dressed more casually. A large white shirt just like that, loose and loose, just like that. Her two fair jade legs were exceptionally long and slender, bare-footed.
It was unknown whether it was because Lin Qian'er was afraid of heat or because she had been accustomed to it since she was young. At home, she had always been barefoot and never wore shoes. The only time she wore shoes was probably when she went into the bathroom to take a shower.
"Qian'er has gone offline. Why is it late today? Quickly come and sit here. In the afternoon, taking advantage of the sun, I went out for a walk and bought some strawberries and cream. It's your favorite. " Lin Huo Huo patted the sofa beside him.
Lin Qian Er didn't like to eat a lot of fruits, but her mouth was very picky. Which one was more expensive: durian, strawberries, peaches, and so on. For snacks, they mainly ate slices of cake. That's right, they were slices of cake from Xinjiang. It was also because her family was well-to-do. Otherwise, all year round... Most of the time, she could only crave for it.
"Thank you, my dear!" Lin Qian'er happily jogged onto the sofa, her shirt fluttering in the wind. The black lace flashed and disappeared. A basket of strawberries, bright red in color. It was unknown what breed it was. It was very big, and each of them was as big as an egg. It would take several bites to eat one.
"The texture is very good. The taste of the cream is very strong. I haven't eaten it before. It might be a new breed." Lin Qian'er ate five or six in one go.
"Why is it so late today? Did something happen?" Lin Huo Huo asked.
"It's not a big deal. It's just a meeting. Zhao Tianya convened it." Lin Qian'er said.
"Him? He had nothing to do all day long. He had meetings every day. What kind of meetings did he have? About the shipyard? " Lin Huo asked.
"Yeah, isn't the competition for materials very fierce? The market has been ruined, what Zhao Tianya means is that everyone will set up a procurement company together. After unifying the procurement and distributing, the merchants won't take advantage of the loopholes. " Lin Qian'er said.
"The idea is quite good, but there will definitely be people who oppose it" Lin Huo Hua said.
"No one is against it. Everyone is against it. The four big shipyards are against it. The smaller shipyards are against it too." Lin Qian'er said.
"It is understandable that the four big shipyards are against it. They are rich and do not lack money. The smaller shipyards should be able to benefit from it. Why are they against it?" Lin Huo was puzzled.
"Because they are poor." Lin Qian'er said.
"I don't understand? Isn't the unification of purchases just to save money?" Lin Huo was puzzled.
"A unified purchase will not be threatened by merchants. It can indeed save money, but the goods purchased by this company are allocated according to the investment. That is to say, if we invest more, we will get more. If you don't invest much, you will get less. " Lin Qian'er said.
"Why is it so strange? Oh, I understand. The four big shipyards are up to no good." Lin Huo Huo finally understood. The four shipyards wanted to save money, but they were unwilling to let the small shipyards take the opportunity to expand. Use it! However, they were soon puzzled. "Since it was the four big shipyards, why are the four shipyards against it?"
"Such a method should not have been suggested by the four big shipyards. I think there are other people. As for the disagreement of the four big shipyards, I suspect that they are targeting us." Lin Qian'er said.
"Why do you say so?" Lin Huo Huo sat up straight.
