The Legend of the Great Wilderness

Chapter 318 Tiangong Product Fair

Exemption from permanent taxation is just a meeting ceremony, which is regarded as the recognition of [Tiangong Group], a new force, by the official forces of [Zhongrong County].

In addition, all officially purchased materials are paid at "market prices", that is, all kinds of barren mountains, wild ridges, lakes, and forests can be used to cover debts, and these lands that no one wants at all will be used to offset the debts.

As for the labor force that [Tiangong Group] urgently needs, it needs people to give, money for money, resources for resources, and policies for policies. As long as a large number of armaments, weapons, Equipment and various war supplies will do.

This can be regarded as a courtesy before the soldiers, forcing [Qingshi Ling] to express his opinion, right?

We have given you face, face, and benefits. If you don’t want to show it, it’s shameless, and you won’t be fined for toasting. Don’t blame others for looking for [Qingshi collar] and [ Tiangong Group] to start.

But in this way, it has become a very serious problem for [Tiangong Group] to give the surplus production to whom so as not to offend others.

The more serious problem is that [Tiangong Group] currently has insufficient development power, not to mention far away, just the land in [Ironforge], [Qingshi collar]'s [-] million people smashed into it, and they didn't see it. There is so much movement, there is free hand, and then go to develop the land outside [Ironforge].

In other words, the land promised by the government is meaningless to [Qingshi Ling] at all. They can build up their own one-third of an acre of land, which is already amazing. With a swipe of the pen, I don't know how long it will take to realize the planned blueprint. In the longer term, there are so many considerations!
What's even more deceitful is that [Qingshi Collar]'s technological development speed is too fast. It has accidentally entered the [Electric Age] from the original [Bronze Age], and there is still a embryonic [ The Era of Psionic Information] is waiting for research and development. Technologies in various fields are updated several times a day. Maybe the new technologies that the craftsmen get in the morning are already outdated by lunch time, and they can be used directly when they get off work in the afternoon. eliminated.

Under such circumstances, many projects are afraid to start, for fear that after large-scale production, the equipment will be eliminated after a few days of useless use, which will waste manpower, material resources, time and resources. According to conservative statistics, if the Suguang deduced If the existing technology is put into use, Gu Yi has to level the entire [Qingshi Collar] and rebuild it.

Gu Yi rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then suddenly asked: "Is it just insufficient production? Is there any shortage of raw materials for production?"

"There will definitely be no shortage of raw materials. The "Infinite Resource Hoarding Plan" ordered by you, Taiyi, has never stopped since the beginning. The various resources that have been hoarded, with our current productivity, it is conservatively estimated that they can supply [days] All the existing industries under the Industrial Group] have been used at full capacity for more than five years!"

Si Xiaonuo picked up a thick leather folder from the desk and flipped through it, and said seriously: "Because we have opened a large-scale factory and mine in [Ironforge] since the beginning of spring, with the large-scale The factories and mines have been completed and put into production, and they are basically self-sufficient at present, and merchants who do not produce locally, there are also merchants who buy them from various places in [Zhongrong County], not to mention the Wanshang Group headed by the merchants. [Shanhai Commercial Road] is supplying [Qingshi Ling] on a large scale."

"Well, resources are never too much, and you can hoard as much as you can. In addition, Nuonuo, you calculated according to the current productivity of the group. Think about how much our output was a year ago? So, your estimated 'Five years', maybe after three months there will only be 'five months' left, and after half a year, it may only be enough to use 'five days' or even shorter!"

Guyi smiled: "As for the issue of 'big orders', it's actually a good thing for us!"

Everyone was stunned: "Good thing?"

This is a major issue related to [Qingshi Ling]'s future position in [Zhongrong County]. If it is handled carelessly, it may bring very bad consequences. They never thought that it had anything to do with "good things".

"It's a seller's market now, and the right to speak is in our hands. Why should we be nervous? If someone is willing to buy, can we still sell it? But the problem is that our production scale can only supply so much. Do you want it or not? If you don’t want it, some people want it! Are you afraid of Mao?”

Gu Yi smiled and said: "To put it simply, all kinds of products of our [Tiangong Group] are in short supply, just a delicious meat bun, and those who want to buy our products are a group of hungry wild dogs , Why should we be afraid of these wild dogs coming to snatch our meat buns? Throw the meat buns out and let these wild dogs snatch them? Dogs bite dogs, and don't care about me? Whoever is big will snatch it! "

Everyone was sweating immediately. They were completely limited by their habitual thinking. Regarding the official forces of [Zhongrong County], they, the residents of the Great Wasteland, would habitually choose to avoid or obey, but they completely forgot that their own This lord is definitely a rebellious and unreasonable "hob meat" by nature, and he has no fear or respect for the official forces representing the [Dayou Dynasty].

Ordinary people usually have a lot of scruples after they have a huge foundation, but this one is good, he has an attitude of "barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes" from the beginning to the end, you dare to threaten me, I dare to risk my entire family, and those who have lost everything will die with you, and die together!

This is already an act of not being afraid of tearing up one's face, not being afraid of reckoning after the fact, and not being afraid of retaliation. Let's talk about what will happen in the future. A big guy who should be earning right now will not take you less!

But what he said, without considering the consequences, seems to be true at all. They have been worrying about who they will give the surplus products to, who will offend who will not offend whom, in the eyes of the lord, it is simply not It's a problem.

He didn't intend to offend anyone himself at all, but he planned to throw out the surplus product share and let those forces snatch it by themselves. Whoever has the most power will grab it, and it has nothing to do with them [Tiangong Group].

"The business owner can reply to Wu Gonglie and Zhong Minwen. We [Tiangong Group] can accept the reservation, but due to the limited production capacity, we cannot guarantee the delivery time..."

Gu Yi said carelessly: "If you make a reservation, you need to mortgage the full amount, that is to say, the land, mineral deposits and other resources they promised can only be used as collateral, and cannot be used as payment for goods."

"This must be written into the contract. When the contract is signed, the land and mine deeds they plan to take out must be handed over to [Tiangong Group]. Before the transaction is completed, these land and mineral resources, [Tiangong Group] ] will enjoy priority development rights!"

"And if the other party fails to complete the transaction, these land and mineral resources will be paid to [Tiangong Group] as liquidated damages and will not be refunded."

"In addition to the resource mortgage, if you want the product, you must pay an equal amount of cash to pick up the product. Due to the limited production, you will have the 'bidding right' for the current batch of goods after paying the payment..."

"and many more!"

Gu Ning, who was sweating profusely from a long speech by the profiteer Guyi, suddenly interrupted Guyi: "Since there is a mortgage, why do you have to pay in cash? Isn't that equivalent to double the price of the goods? And since you have paid for the goods, Why is there still an auction? Isn’t this an additional payment for the goods?”

"The resource mortgage is only to ensure that after our [Tiangong Group] produces the product, they will not suddenly return the product, resulting in a backlog of products, which does not mean that the payment for the product is paid. After the transaction is completed, these mortgaged resources will still be released. Give them back..."

"Anyway, we won't be able to use the resources they used as collateral for the time being, will we? These guys use the resources that we don't need for the time being as payment for the goods, and it's clear that they are going to be empty-handed wolves!"

"If they win, they will be able to free up troops to deal with us. Isn't it natural to rely on a debt? And if they lose, the debt will naturally become a bad debt. Who do we ask for?" Go for the money? Find the Tartar King? What’s the difference between that and sending troops to rob us?”

"So, the resource mortgage only means that they have the 'purchase right'. For a period of time in the future, our [Tiangong Group] products will only be sold to those forces that have mortgaged resources, and forces that have not mortgaged resources. Don't sell it for money!"

Gu Yi had a natural expression on his face: "As for cash delivery... Of course, you have to pay for the goods and deliver the goods with one hand. You can only get out but not in. We use the capital to buy raw materials to produce products? Don't look like a ghost, I know Our resources are enough to produce five years at full capacity, the problem is that they don't know!"

"Paying the payment just means that they have the right to pick up the goods, but so many people want to pick up the goods first, who do you think we should give the goods to first? So, the easiest way is to let them conduct an 'auction' themselves. The higher the 'priority payment' for whoever is willing to pay, the priority will be given to whoever this batch of goods is, and 5S stores do this!"

"Uh, you asked what a '5S store' is? Well, that doesn't matter..."

"Don't worry that no one will take advantage of this 'triple payment'. Didn't you hear that many military cities and military fortresses have been slaughtered after the fall? King Li's rebels have already attacked them It's at the door, they will be willing to pay for 'expedited delivery', their lives are gone, so what's the point of asking for money?"

Gu Ning, who understood it, couldn't help slandering in his heart as a merchant family who had been merchants for generations: What a black-hearted profiteer!

Gu Yi rubbed his chin, and suddenly showed a smile that made Gu Ning and the others feel chills: "Well, let's release the news, saying that we [Tiangong Group] currently have a batch of unloaded goods, and we are going to hold a "Tiangong Group" Product Exhibition", welcome customers to come to bid!"

Gu Ning was taken aback: "What stockpiles did we come from? The products we hoarded in the early stage were basically used to arm the "Trapped Air Force" and were consumed in the [Jianshishan] battle!"

Gu Yi waved his hand: "I'm talking about the ones that are currently equipped in "Trapped in the Air Force". You can collect them all and sell them!"

The salesman who had been silent for a while suddenly became anxious: "My lord, if we collect and sell all the ordnance and equipment of "Trapped in the Air Force", wouldn't we have to use our bare hands?"

"How come? Let me do the math for you. After the news of the 'Exhibition Fair' was announced, there was almost a month's buffer time when representatives from various forces came to participate in the 'Exhibition Fair', right?"

Gu Yi said with a smile: "During this month, I plan to activate various new technologies in the technology reserve, produce new equipment that stays on the blueprint, and simultaneously change the equipment of "Trapped Air Force" to eliminate those that have been replaced. Why keep the old equipment? It can be used as second-hand goods and sold to them!"

Now Si Xiaonuo was surprised: "Taiyi, you want to activate the technology reserve? Didn't you say that the recent technology update is too fast, and those transitional technologies are only used for research and will not be put into production?"

"Although those reserves are only transitional technologies, their output and efficiency far exceed the various equipment we currently use. I estimate that after the full replacement of the current latest technology equipment, the enterprises, factories and mines under our [Tiangong Group] will The output will be increased by ten times!"

Gu Yi spread his hands: "But isn't there someone who has been taken advantage of to pay for it now? Besides, when these equipments are built, we will have new technology. We can dismantle the old equipments and sell them to others, and build new ones ourselves!"

Since these transitional technologies are ultra-large, large-scale, and systematic equipment, once manufactured, it is impossible to replace them in a short period of time. In addition, according to Suguang's estimation, with the current deduction progress, an average of six months to one year Every year, the technology will be completely updated, so those large-scale equipment have not been built.

This is like someone who is saving money to buy a car, should he grit his teeth and insist on riding a bicycle for a year, then buy a Ferrari directly after saving enough money, or buy a motorcycle first after saving for three months, and then change it after saving for half a year A Chery QQ, and a Ferrari in a year?
If there is no hope of technology update, Guyi will be useless. He will produce while waiting for the technology update, but he knows that he will develop a technology with an annual output of 1000 million tons in half a year. Isn't that stupid with tons of equipment?
But the situation is different now, half a year is enough for [Tiangong Group] to earn back the money for dozens of new equipment. Since there are people who are wronged to pay the bill, [Tiangong Group] can not only increase production, but also update technology accumulation Experience, why not do it?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they could only retreat in front of the black heart of the profiteer, Gu Yi.

With a solution, Gu Ning obviously breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "That's what Shaoyi said... Another thing is that because of the expansion of our [Tiangong Group]'s business scope, the existing The merchant fleet is no longer able to meet the demand for capacity, is it possible to fully replace the commercial steam ships reserved by the group to increase capacity?"

Gu Yi was taken aback: "Hasn't the steam engine ship been developed a long time ago? I remember that the technical reserves have been accumulated for three generations. Are we still using the [Fang Ge ship] that has slow speed, small displacement, and low loading capacity?" wooden hull?"

Gu Ning was speechless for a while, the co-author simply forgot about this matter, [Qingshi Ling]'s shipbuilding industry, the earliest since Guyi wanted to buy a large number of sand dredgers, but he couldn't buy them, has already started to invest built.

Thanks to the article "From Wooden Hull Ships to Steel Giant Ships—Anatomy and Design of Ships of Past Dynasties" recorded in "Golden Finger User Guide", Guyi has directly crossed the long history of ship development, and directly launched the existing technology to manufacture it. of the latest ships.

"Tiangong Shipyard" has "developed" a total of dozens of types and models of ships. Since [Qingshi Ling] has never been involved in shipping, most of the water transportation is in the inland river, so many giant ships only stay on the drawing.

However, in order to reserve shipbuilding technical talents, Gu Yi spared no expense to build a large-scale dock cluster in the [潏水] basin, and threw all the ship design blueprints he knew to the master shipbuilders.

Let them mass-manufacture each type of ship in batches, first to accumulate experience, and second, to understand the shipbuilding technology and design concepts from another world, and to cultivate as much as possible in the shortest possible time. Possibly a huge army of shipbuilders to come.

Because Guyi knows that in the future, if [Qingshi Ling] wants to go out, I am afraid that the dependence on water transportation will be quite huge. After all, they cannot expect to cover the entire Great Wilderness with cement roads and rails in a short period of time. Then there is no requirement for road conditions, and ships that can be reached as long as there is water have become the main means of transportation.

The various experimental ships manufactured by "Tiangong Shipyard" will not be wasted. With the commercial development of [Qingshiling], the demand for ships from various merchants is gradually increasing, not to mention selling them. The merchant fleet under Gu Ning's command alone is enough to digest all the ships in the shipyard.

But what Gu Yi didn't expect was that, with the idea of ​​keeping the technology secret, a large number of new ships that had been built in the system were all sealed in large lakes such as [潏川], [濉波], [Beach Sea].

As a result, these lakes near [Qingshi Ling] generally have an area of ​​several thousand square kilometers to tens of thousands of square kilometers, and rows and rows of large ships like floating castles are almost invisible water surface!

"How many built ships do we have now?"

Gu Yi subconsciously asked Si Xiaonuo, and Si Xiaonuo reluctantly took out a record file and handed it to Guyi. After the order for the possible expansion of the shipping industry, it was only today that I thought of asking for the first time.

Gu Yi flipped through the document that Si Xiaonuo handed over, but his jaw almost dropped in surprise!
