Chapter 241: Undercurrent

There is a good saying, after excluding all the impossible situations, the remaining one, no matter how unreasonable, is the truth!
But he couldn't figure it out.
What good would that do to them?
The market for Magic Crystal Mine is so large, the consumption capacity of Silver City has never changed, and the profit is basically no hope ...
Why would he want to buy a magic crystal mine?
Charles tentatively asked, "Master Father? Then we will sell a few magic crystal mines to raise funds?"
"... No! Don't sell! I suspect Victor's intention may be that we want to sell the Magic Crystal Mine!"
Frank said coldly: "Although this possibility is very small, excluding other factors, this is the choice we should make in the current situation-and this is probably the choice they want me to make. Don't do it! "
When you do n’t know what to do, you only need to implement one of the most basic rules: we do n’t give whatever the enemy wants, and we do n’t do what the enemy wants us to do, although it may not be correct, but it will never Something went wrong.
"But then ..."
Charles frowned slightly: "We will not be able to raise enough funds. Once in the mire of preparations, I am afraid that the heritage of our Kadir family will be dragged down."
"Compared to us, those in the royal family are more worried about this situation."
Frank said tepidly: "The economic lifeline of the entire Illus empire is controlled by our aristocracy, and less than one of them falls on their hands. Why do they stay with us? I would love to see In that case-they will definitely 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, borrowing some funds from them and returning them some benefits, I think It should not be a problem. "
Seeing his father insisted, Charles had to agree with 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 beside him. He didn't understand what his brother and father were talking about ...
Illus Palace.
"Frank's old stuff stays still?"
Victor frowned, hearing Aubrey's return: "Did he see through our intentions?"
"IMHO, Your Majesty."
Adrian couldn't help but say, "This is really not a conspiracy plan-our goal is very obvious. Frank is not a fool. He must have guessed our thoughts."
"What do you guess?"
Aubrey dismissed it: "It wasn't intended to be used as a conspiracy from the beginning."
"Good."
Victor was convinced: "The plan made by Baron Tang is a solemn conspiracy-even if they know our purpose? We have made it clear that what you want is the magic crystal mine in your hands! Let it go? Let it go "The implementation of the proposed interim regulations will severely damage the Qadir family. Let it go? We will take the lead in the coming era, and they will be eliminated as well."
If there are other terms, Victor will also worry that they cannot be implemented because they have touched too many interests, but what about the legal provisions related to the mine ... Ha ha, the entire Illus Empire has two mining giants, one is Spa The German family, the other is the Kadir family, other sporadic small mines can not be affected much.
As long as the new policy is implemented, the fools know that it is the royal leaders who are attacking the nobles.
Victor didn't want to do that until he had no choice but to do so-if it wasn't for Tang En's "identity", Victor would not have the courage to accompany him so chaotically.
Under the calm water, the dark tide is surging, and many smelly businessmen have noticed a hint of gunpowder, especially in recent days the Duke of Ober has been abnormal, inspecting the First Legion of the Empire every day, and several issued by His Majesty Victor. New Temporary Regulations-Although not yet implemented, because of concerns about tax increases, many sensitive merchants quickly released the magic crystals hoarded in their hands and rushed to sell them. As a result, the price of standard magic crystals in the market fell. A gold coin, and it is still falling rapidly.
In the black market transaction, the price of the standard magic crystal that has been smuggled has dropped 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 for the Illys Empire Magic Crystal is so large. In just a few days, the shipments were out of control. The market was oversaturated and the Magic Crystal could not be sold at all!
They do not want to export to Silver City, because export taxes have now been levied.
Even if some speculative businessmen want to take the opportunity to hoard some magic crystals, but they can't eat much of the huge amount in the market, they can't make any waves at all, but make those who are eager to sell off sell more.
Everyone knows that His Majesty Victor has released the long-running anger, and the goal is the Kadir family-as for the Spad family, they fight against these two families at once, I am afraid that the entire Illus Empire The economy will collapse completely, and Victor is not afraid to take this risk, so the Spade family temporarily sits firmly on the Diaoyutai-they do not do magic crystal business, so they just watch the theater.
Nothing is worse than a business alliance.
As a closed circle, they couldn't find the next home they wanted.
"President Neander, good afternoon, I have a lot of cheap magic crystals here. Would you like to see them in large quantities?"
"President Ryan, you are really joking. I also have a batch of magic crystals here. I wonder if you are interested?"
"..."
"..."
"How about we go to Liandel?"
"Also, he should be interested ..."
The major chambers of commerce that make up the Illus Business Alliance are basically the best in the Illus Empire. The goods they have hoarded are not a little bit. Except for their internal chambers of commerce, those externally-named commercial chambers have not Capable of taking over their resources.
This has also led to a gloomy cloud inside the business alliance at the moment. Each of them has more or less hoarding magic crystals on hand. After all, this thing is not expensive, it ’s cheap, it ’s cheap, and it starts with other goods. They can make a lot of money when they get to Silver City for a second hand, so they are happy to hoard magic crystals.
But now with a piece of policy, they are all panicked.
Luxury goods consumption tax is as high as 50%!
The standard magic crystal that originally cost 70 gold coins and sells for 100 gold coins will be levied a tax of 50 gold coins! Even if the storage cost is not calculated, there will be a net loss of twenty gold coins!
Unless the price rises to 150 gold coins, then each standard magic crystal can only earn five gold coins--not to mention the large consumer of magic crystals, that is, the masters of the wizard can't tolerate so much price increase.
What should I do?
"The priority now is to first find a way to release the hoarding magic crystals."
Since losing the deep sea bead, Sidney is not in a good mood: "Second, is to find a way to launch a joint protest, please His Majesty Victor to withdraw this idea."
"Viscount Sidney, don't forget that Her Majesty Victor no longer represents the interests of the nobility. He is on the opposite side of us."
The next person reminded: "It can make us lose a lot of wealth, and it can also make him collect huge taxes. Of course, he is willing to do it, how can it be changed."
Strange to say, it is clear that the bottom merchants and nobles are two incompatible classes, but the merchants in the business alliance, dressed in aristocratic skin, have joined the nobles to oppose the royals. This may be between the vested interests and the reformers. contradiction.
"Now there is only hope in Grand Duke Frank. Victor does this but cuts meat on him. How long can he endure ..."
Sidney murmured: "Besides that, if you want to get rid of the magic crystal ..."
"Right! Where is the Datang Chamber of Commerce?"
One person suddenly said, "Remember, the products sold by the Datang Chamber of Commerce need to consume magic crystals? At this time, they should absorb the magic crystals at a low price. Other chambers of commerce are incapable. The Datang Chamber of Commerce is incapable. It should be able to absorb part of it. "
Everyone in the business alliance knows how strong the Tang Dynasty-made Datang Chamber of Commerce is in attracting money. Even if the business alliance has launched a joint blockade on them, it is embarrassing that the Datang Chamber of Commerce does not need any supply of raw materials at all. Need any sales channel-its goods are produced in Ellington, sales are direct sales model.
It completely ignores the blockade of the business alliance. It should still sell things. I am afraid that the only problem this so-called blockade caused to the Datang Chamber of Commerce is that his employees will be a bit troublesome when eating out, because the nearby restaurant sells food. Taverns are the industry of business alliances.
This makes the blockade sanctions of business alliances a joke.
"Yes!"
The man's eyes brightened: "I heard that the Datang Chamber of Commerce is absorbing magic crystals in the market recently. Although the price is very low, but now I can at least make sure that I won't lose the cost! I have nearly 100,000 magic crystals in my warehouse. I wo n’t let go as soon as possible before the tax increase.
"But we are now blocking the Datang Chamber of Commerce, aren't we trying to sell our stuff to their faces ..."
As soon as this man's voice fell, a group of people changed their faces, and they were embarrassed and embarrassed.
In particular, the chairman, Sidney, was blushing for a while, and white for a while, he didn't know how to face the eyes of members.
I never expected that the sanctions against the Datang Chamber of Commerce would eventually become sanctions against themselves ...
