From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

The goods provided by Si Ye may not be able to compete with those companies in the city at the same price point because of the lack of brand effect, but what if the prices of these competing products are only one-half, one-third or even one-fifth of those branded goods?

Thanks to the Supervisory Council's accidental success, the publicity of Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals in Casimir will not be extinguished in a short time, so the Night Shop's shops throughout the city will easily display these cheap shops in front of the residents.

Siye copies and pastes the flagship products of major companies, and then uses the host to optimize these low-priced competitors. The quality and performance are only better than those of many companies, and the price is even only one-fifth of those companies' brand products.

Apart from those fanatical fans of companies that pursue brand recognition, there is no need to discuss how the vast majority of ordinary people will choose in such a comparison.

"Is that too much? The expanded production lines in the lower-level factory modules of the Radish are only half operational. Let's put in a 50% effort first to test the quality of the Commercial Federation."

Si Ye said something that was enough to bring down the Chamber of Commerce.

"I don't quite understand why you're going to all this trouble. You could obviously suppress all of Casimir more quickly with a show of force."

"Well, I've already said I'm here for tourism, not to rush around. And you also said that a simple display of force will only lead to suppression, not subjugation."

Si Ye slowly spread out his hands, and his psychic energy constructed the flag of Casimir in his palm, which slowly enlarged.

"If you want to convince someone, the best way is to make him use all his strength and then easily defeat him."

As Casimir's flag grew larger with the addition of spiritual energy, Si Ye clenched it tightly as he spoke, and the shattered fragments turned into dots of fluorescence, lighting up the entire warehouse like fireflies.

"And Kazdel's situation is actually special. I have to give face to the former civilization. And Theresa is very cooperative. I just need to deal with the troublemaker."

"But Casimir can't, right?"

I have also learned some about Casimir's situation these days, and it can only be said that it has opened my eyes.

"Yes, Casimir no longer has anyone in charge. Of the three major government institutions—the National Council, the Knights' Guild, and the Supervisory Council—only the Supervisory Council might still retain a certain degree of autonomy. The remaining two have been almost completely corrupted by the interests brought by the Chamber of Commerce."

Si Ye also marveled at the wonders of the countries on the Terra continent.

"The Chamber of Commerce is too powerful to be eliminated, and the Casimir government is plagued by internal conflicts. Tsk tsk, who can I talk to and convince everyone? I might as well set up a plan, beat them all up, reshuffle the deck, and finally support my agent to take power."

"Margaret?"

"Well, her uncle, Maenna, is also okay, but he's been a social slave for too long, so maybe he's not that good."

"What about Zofia?"

"She's a huge sucker. It's only because the prize money for the Knights' Games is generous enough. Otherwise, with her level of extravagance, she would have gone bankrupt long ago."

Si Ye and Nian chatted casually, and their words seemed to have decided Casimir's fate.

Chapter 53 Dumping Begins

"Isn't Rhodes Island a pharmaceutical company? How come they're selling TVs? And so cheaply? There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

A Casimir resident was happily watching the TV he ordered being loaded onto a truck and ready to be delivered to his home, while his companion frowned after seeing the price.

"Hey, this TV performs exactly like an Allen Select TV, but it's one-tenth the price! One-tenth! Even if it explodes, I'll still praise it for being loud."

The residents who bought the TVs didn't care. Even though the TVs sold in Rhode Island were so cheap that there might be issues with their lifespan, the price made all concerns unnecessary.

After all, the products of those big companies are more expensive than each other, and they even charge a large service fee. For an ordinary employee like him, it is really unaffordable.

The win-win policy of the Chamber of Commerce has ensured that most Casimir companies will not face competition, at least no price competition. The words "cheap" have disappeared from Casimir for many years.

Now that a foreign company has suddenly appeared and is openly engaging in a price war, the residents are just thinking about rushing to buy the goods that they could not afford before, for fear of missing this opportunity. Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals has also become a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Hiss, that makes sense. My old washing machine has always had problems, so I'll get a new one."

His companion suddenly realized what was going on and rushed back to the Rhodes Island store behind him, intending to replace his old appliances.

When Siye's price war started in full swing, many companies wanted to make a fuss about the quality of their products. After all, if you sell them so cheaply, there will always be some chance of cutting corners or the products being outdated and easily damaged.

Then these companies came to the conclusion that these products were of better quality than their flagship products, which stunned the entire company led by the Knight.

It is sturdy and durable, and even has some innovative functions. This kind of new product would be hyped up and sold at a high price in any company. But you use it to start a price war, and you often charge an outrageous price of one-fifth or even one-tenth of the original price. Do you have a mine at home to be able to squander it like this?

Si Ye currently has no mines on the Terra continent, but he can't resist his tricks. The industrial module at the bottom of Si Ye's land-based ship is the latest model of the Star Empire. It only needs energy input to complete the generation and manufacturing of materials from scratch.

This cutting-edge technology, which was mastered by the Star Sea Empire after it entered the technological singularity, was used by Si Ye to bully a group of natives who couldn't even reach the sky. It really makes men speechless and women cry.

With the help of this cutting-edge technology, the cost of producing these items for Siye has become shockingly low. Compared with the goods of the Commercial Federation that have high additional fees attached, Siye can still make a profit even if he sells them at one twentieth of the price.

It’s just that a price that is too outrageous may have a counterproductive effect, so we chose a price that is just at the lower limit of the psychological level of the people of Casimir to start a price war.

In the eyes of those who are not in the know, they would think that Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals is crazy and is relying on spending money to seize the market of the Chamber of Commerce.

But it must be said that it is very effective. Apart from the specialized business such as the championship, the rest of the civilian business of the Commercial Federation is shrinking rapidly.

In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, except for real estate, which Si Ye did not take part in due to the long preparation period, Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals can come up with a wide range of products in the other three areas. The Commercial Federation has been defeated by the price war.

The Chamber of Commerce did consider lowering prices like Si Ye did, but when it came time for these capitalists to cut their losses, they all became hesitant. After all, the prices of Rhodes Island's goods were too outrageous, and no one could guarantee that they could regain the market by lowering the prices.

……

"86%!!! My company's market value has plummeted by 86% in three days!!! Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals is a lunatic!!!"

A director of a federation whose main business was food was slamming the table frantically.

If there is still a replacement interval for large items such as electrical appliances and vehicles, the short-term data of these companies will not become very ugly.

As food is a daily necessity for humans, the price of food in Casimir collapsed extremely quickly due to the unlimited dumping of Night Squad.

"What about the National Council? Are those paid members just sitting there doing nothing? Tell them to kick this lunatic out!"

"The report of illegal competition has been submitted to the National Council, but..."

Charne, who was sitting at the end of the conference table, did not expect Si Ye's attack to be so swift. Before the Chamber of Commerce could respond to Si Ye's non-cooperation, Si Ye's dumping had already put them in a mess.

As the main person in contact with Si Ye, Charne was almost held accountable, but after he truthfully reported Si Ye's outrageous ideas, no one blamed him.

However, in subsequent discussions, Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals and Siye became lunatics in the eyes of the directors and agents, and never mentioned the cooperation again.

"The Supervisory Commission has been causing trouble. Based on our apparent strength alone, we don't have the upper hand in the National Assembly."

"Is that old woman Russell crazy? Is this the time to cause trouble? This is an invasion! And they're still dragging their feet?"

The director of the food company had lost his usual composure and leaned back in his seat in an extremely undignified manner, breathing heavily.

"Hmph, judging by Russell's thinking, she probably thinks Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals is just an outsider company, and the military and political power she represents can deal with it at any time, so she wants to use this opportunity to strike us a heavy blow."

"That's a possibility, and there's bad news."

It seemed that they had heard enough bad news today, so Charne's speech did not arouse the emotions of the other directors.

"The Brilliant Knight Margaret has appeared at the Knights' Association, seemingly intending to re-register and reclaim her Linguang Long Rider status. We can't rule out the possibility that she's collaborating with Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals and intends to use the Linguang family's reputation to support them."

"Expel her! If she hadn't been afraid of Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals, she would have left long ago. How dare she attack us now? Does she think Cyril is still alive in the Linguang family?"

Shouts rang out in the conference room. It would be fine if they couldn't deal with Si Ye in a short time, but could they not deal with Lin Guang?

"But there's just one problem. Because the Supervisor will disrupt the situation, we have already lost the best opportunity to expel the Knight of Glory."

Charne sighed and pinched his eyebrows with a headache.

"Everyone here knows the truth about Glory Knight's so-called infected identity. Casimir's medical field is now completely controlled by Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals. If we publicly expel Glory Knight, she only needs to prove she's not infected. Then the backlash will come back to bite her when she won the championship but was expelled as infected."

"So the Radiant Knight isn't actually infected?"

This was a company representative who had recently joined the Federation. After hearing the answer from the gloomy faces of the directors, he said nonchalantly, "Then why not just let her become infected? As long as she's infected, we can still use the previous National Council ruling to expel her, right?"

He is really a young and inexperienced person. The Linguang family has a wide network of contacts, and there are countless people who have received favors from the Linguang family. It would be fine if they suppressed him secretly, but they directly attacked Margaret Linguang, a figure of great influence... huh?

Charne suddenly raised his eyebrows, and the surrounding directors seemed to have thought of something as well, all showing a thoughtful expression.

The Linguang family is indeed an old family, and Cyril Linguang is a war hero who turned the tide of the war between Ursus and Casimir. Russell, the Grand Knight Commander of the Supervisory Society, was one of his former comrades. It is not an exaggeration to say that 80% of the Linguang family's influence comes from Cyril.

But he died.

Three years ago, when Margaret won the championship as an independent knight, the biggest reason why the Chamber of Commerce had to expel her instead of dealing with her like an ordinary opponent was because Cyril Linguang, who was lying in bed at the time, was still alive. His huge network of contacts and reputation forced even the Chamber of Commerce to avoid him.

But now, Cyril has been dead for almost three years, and the Chamber of Commerce is no longer the same Chamber of Commerce it was three years ago. Killing Knight Yao may not be possible, but infecting her with oripathy and confirming her identity as an infected person may, possibly, be possible.

"That's a good idea... Directors, please join me in discussing the feasibility and plan with the leaders of the No-Horned Alliance later."

Chapter 54 Actions of all parties

The dumping of Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals in the Great Knight Territory affected everyone in the city. Although the company where Mainna worked was very ordinary, it was also thrown into chaos and the workload increased sharply.

As night fell, Mainna was walking on his way home. He was inevitably tired after working overtime for several days. Fortunately, after Margaret returned, Maria had someone to take care of her, which relieved him a lot of worries.

Dick dick~

Just like most office workers don't want to hear WeChat ringing at night, when the communicator in his pocket sounded the notification tone of an incoming call, the veins on Mainna's forehead twitched noticeably.

"Hello... This is Maenna."

"Such a reserved tone? That's really not like you at all."

There was a frivolous male voice on the other end of the communicator, and he seemed to be very familiar with Mainna.

"Tolan, what's going on?"

"I heard that the Great Knight Territory is very lively lately, even [outside] is bustling."

"Let's get down to business. You're not here to reminisce about the past."

Mainna looked up. The towering buildings of the Grand Knights' Territory were brightly lit, and the dark night was coated with a layer of orange, like a vibrant flame.

"Someone wants to use me to tell you some news whose source is unknown and whose authenticity is unknown. For example, the Helmetless Alliance wants to take action against the Brilliant Knight who is about to officially return to Casimir..."

"why?"

Mainna narrowed her eyes and gradually straightened her body.

"Why? You, who live in the city, should know better than me, who wanders the wilderness. That big ship outside the city looks really spectacular, doesn't it?"

“…Thank you…”

The call was disconnected, and Mainna tightened the gauntlet on his right hand before quickly disappearing at the end of the street.

……

"I want to take a leave of absence."

"No, I won't approve it."

Roy casually rejected Xinteleya's request, because standing on a high place, the fierce wind made everyone's clothes rustle.
