Chapter 41: Hunger Marketing
After a day's rest, the army set out again, targeting the fifth and sixth islands, the fifth of which was thirty nautical miles away from the nearest third island, and the sixth being fifty nautical miles from the nearest second island, both of which were smaller than the second, but not much smaller, and considered medium-sized islands. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Four islands were not chosen, one is because the power of the three islands has not been brought together due to time, and the strength they have not yet been brought into play.
The three islands required a certain number of troops to defend them, resulting in an offensive force that was not very rich.
The most embarrassing thing is that the ship is a little insufficient, space is not omnipotent, in the final analysis, only two points of items can move each other, most of the items on the three islands can be transferred at one time, and then you can use no space, but there are still some items, which must require a certain number of ships.
This led to a shortage of ships.
There are two solutions, one is to sell the clothes of the nobles, and the money obtained can buy a ship, the disadvantage is that the money spent is a bit too much, if you buy too many ships, it will have a certain impact on the future development.
The second way is the formation of a new means of transportation, designed by Luffy, and now the industrial machine is being built.
Airship.
This is a lighter-than-air aircraft, and its biggest difference from a hot air balloon is that it has a device for propulsion and control of the flight state.
The airship consists of a large, streamlined hull, a pod located underneath the hull, a tail surface that acts as a stability control plane, and a propulsion unit. The hull of the ship is filled with buoyancy gas that is less dense than air - hydrogen or helium, preferably helium, which has the potential to explode and helium is an inert gas - to create buoyancy to lift the airship into the air.
The air prime of this world is very suitable for the existence of floatboats, and it can be known by seeing that any top master can swim in the air at will.
Luffy set the standard for airship production through mathematics and air currents, and later experiments proved that a helium-filled airship could carry more than six times the mass of Earth - and there was a part of gravity involved.
Petroleum is the raw material for most of the industrial products of the first-class civilization, and in addition to the diols and diamines that can be refined to make nylon, there are also diolefins and olefins for synthetic rubber.
It can be said that building an airship is a very simple thing, but the problem is that the industrial machine is omnipotent, but there is only one, and today's workload has completely reached the limit, and the production of airships can only be done slowly.
Only by relying on the clothing industry and playing with finance to obtain massive profits, in order to buy a large number of raw materials, so that the industrial machine can produce a series of sub-machines, otherwise, it is impossible to increase the production volume.
So, you can only take your time.
Fortunately, today's army is very good and powerful, as long as it does not encounter the top masters with too high quality of life, after concentrating their strength, the violent violence can quickly crush everything.
Moreover, this army is not mature enough and needs to be carefully sharpened, and if you attack three or more islands at once, the casualty rate will increase linearly.
The army deliberately avoided the Fourth Island at a distance, and this was an order, which did not need to be explained, and must be obeyed.
But there is no wind and no waves, and the soldiers are also speculating, and one of the news that has spread widely is that the Black Cat Pirates are still squatting, as if they are looking for some treasure.
If it is touched rashly, it will cause great damage to the army.
Even, some soldiers, the Heavenly Scholars, took great pains to say that they had seen such and such evidence from a distance, and although it was not directly proved, it also proved this most extensive message.
The news easily spread to other powers, or the aristocratic merchants who had been on the twenty-three islands, who were watching the establishment of the People's Republic of the Celestial Republic, and when the pirates drove them out, they would inevitably take back the land that had been sold at a low price by making a villain.
Continue to be silent.
The kingdom was not established to maintain the usual life; When the kingdom was established, they also needed to rule over the Lamb-like common people on behalf of the presiding God.
It's all a good calculation.
Luffy clapped his hands, ready to tell them by the way that there are still laws in this world - laws that serve those in power and warlords.
Just as they did to the common people, repay kindness with kindness and repay grievances with straightforwardness!
It's just that the kindness is probably not much, and it is still the kindness of the great lord, such as in the disaster period when you can't survive, the seventy percent of the grain rented from the land is changed to six percent of the five grains, don't kill when you are offended, just break two arms and one of them, and so on.
And resentment...... Weigh a name, such as a mountain heavy; Measure a amount, like the depth of the sea.
The northern region of the East China Sea, the main city.
The arrival of this night did not make the aristocratic merchants who were accustomed to extravagance in nightlife come to the bed early, but one by one, dressed in the best clothes, looking at the auction hall and rushing to the auction.
What they want to buy is clothing, and when they see the gorgeous patterns and lots of nylon on the photos, they have a crazy, even morbid, desire to buy.
The only regret is that the number of rare clothes is too small, only ten pieces, and they have to be snapped.
Hunger marketing.
This is a very simple, yet practical trick.
For the industry, this can reduce the inventory risk and release a batch to sell out a batch. Of course, this is not important to Luffy, but more importantly, hunger marketing can easily generate a lot of popularity.
For example, this time, at least half of the great nobles and wealthy merchants in the northern region of the East China Sea rushed to the auction hall after a day.
Of course, this also has the credit of the bank spending a lot of money on publicity.
The auction hall seemed to be a little noisy, although they were observing etiquette on the surface, but what they talked about in their words was ...... It is a thousand times dirtier than the scolding of the market vendors and small people.
Not to mention that you send Qiu Bo, who is in love with him - in front of the legal husband and wife - perhaps as a person, or with another couple.
Your circle is really messy.
Just a glance, Luffy, who was secretly observing, couldn't help but sigh at this word in history, the ancients honestly did not deceive me.
He snorted and picked up the book again.
Mei Tachibana was taken away by Kanna, and it was very boring to watch this scene alone, and Luffy wanted to go home directly through the space.
"That's it, you still have to observe carefully and change your strategy, otherwise you won't worry."
However, what is irritating is that the host of the auction said a lot of meaningless nonsense before taking out the first garment, the delicate texture, the gorgeous texture, and the extremely large amount of nylon, which instantly detonated the audience.
"One hundred thousand berry—"
"Ten million Berry—"
"Twelve million Berry—"
The response was very enthusiastic, and the price continued to rise, except for the small nobles at the beginning, after excitedly saying a starting price, seven or eight big nobles, five or six wealthy merchants, raised the price to more than 10 million, and there was no sign of braking.
This is a piece of clothing that can only be worn by the top clans, but I didn't expect it to appear in such a small place as the northern region of the East China Sea.
It's all in everyone's mind.
Luffy was a little shocked, isn't it more than ten yuan, plus the design styles I've seen before, the price is even higher than gold...... It's just wonderful.
"Thirty-one million."
With the increasing numbers, the unhappiness in Luffy's heart disappeared a little.
