Chapter 825: The First Man to Eat Crabs
After Dongfang Shuo finished explaining, he opened his mouth to look at Xiao Ling and the others and asked, "This is my plan and arrangement, do you still have any questions?"
"That...... I have a question, why don't we monopolize this seafaring trade, if everyone else can build ships and sail, then we will inevitably reduce a lot of profits, and after a long time, I'm afraid that Taiyi will not be cared about by anyone, and everyone will sail on their own!"
"Old man Murong, why are you so stupid, you are too much of a guarantee, wouldn't it be good if you let the people who let them sail by themselves have no guarantee?" Ji Xuantong said on the side.
"No guarantees? You mean let me arrange for some disciples to pretend to be pirates?"
"This doesn't seem to be a bad thing, right? After being robbed a few times, everyone will think that it is more reliable to cooperate with you Taiyi, right?"
"No, you must not do this!" Just as Murong Invincible was thinking about what to do, Dongfang Shuo directly opened his mouth to stop him.
Ji Xuantong was slightly stunned, could it be that Dongfang Shuo didn't think so originally?
"If one is accidentally discovered, the Taiyi Gate will be doomed, and everything I designated may also be overturned, which is absolutely not allowed!"
"That'...... Then how to ensure the interests of Taiyimen?" Ji Xuantong asked puzzled.
"Hehe, it's actually simple, just wait, think about it, why do I say that entrusting Taiyi to do maritime trade can ensure safety?"
"Charge an extra penny!"
"Uh......" Ji Xuantong's words made Dongfang Shuo not know how to answer for a while, the truth is such a truth, but can't you look at the essence of the phenomenon?
"Although this is true, it also proves one thing, and that is that there is a risk of being robbed, what does this mean?"
"It means that Taiyi can rob goods, brother-in-law, I don't think I understood it wrong?"
Dongfang Shuo rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "My eldest brother, can you follow my train of thought to answer the question?"
"Didn't I follow your train of thought?"
"Okay, let me say it bluntly, this means that there is a risk in the maritime trade, what does this mean?" After speaking, Dongfang Shuo hurriedly said to Ji Xuantong: "It's not that this risk can be made!"
"Uh......" Ji Xuantong's mouth opened and closed obediently, he really wanted to say so.
"I continued, this means that the world is not peaceful, that is to say, I have not stopped the open and secret struggle between the various forces, and even the problem of hatred and resentment due to the problems left over from history, to put it bluntly, if a force wants to make money by seafaring trade, then can its hostile forces allow him to become bigger? Obviously, it can't, and I didn't ask to say that there should be no war or anything like that, so let them fight!"
In addition, maintaining this fighting mentality can also stimulate the trade of all forces, a force relying on Taiyi for a long time to trade, will definitely become bigger after a long time, then his hostile forces can't stand it at all, but they don't dare to argue with Taiyimen, so what should I do? ”
"The logic is such a logic, but can it work when it comes to the real chapter?" Murong Wushu asked worriedly.
"Of course, what is the most in these years? Undercover agents, any force will find a way to plant an eyeliner in the hostile forces, and the first thing to know about any disturbance must be the enemy, since it is the enemy, can the plan go smoothly? 12
"Although I don't understand a little, but since you say so, it must make sense, then I'll just do it!" Murong Invincible didn't say more, after all, what Dongfang Shuo proposed was very novel, so he didn't know whether this thing was good or bad, but judging from the surprises that Dongfang Shuo had brought to them in the past, maybe Taiyi would really want to make it bigger!
In the next two months, Taiyimen and Xuanling Sect began to establish departmental windows in various places, and Xuanling Sect was simpler, just open some office locations, and at most train on the procedures for issuing temporary residence vouchers.
Taiyimen is much more complicated, they have to buy at least three docks, and countless ships have to be purchased, which undoubtedly makes Taiyimen fight for his family.
However, the people of the Murong family seemed to trust Dongfang Shuo very much, and they didn't even feel that they were gambling, but they just felt that they were making a sure deal.
The Murong family had firm beliefs, and those elders of the Taiyi Sect naturally had nothing to say, and they thought that there was some inside information that they hadn't told them, so they were also very energetic.
Two months later, Taiyimen had acquired six docks and more than 500 ships, but none of the businesses came to the door, and the docks were simply depressed, and many disciples were bored and began to play Pai Gow dice to entertain themselves.
The same is true of the trade house of the Xuanling Sect, no one patronizes it at all, the two forces are all invested in the young and old, and if it is consumed like this, it will go bankrupt sooner or later!
Murong Invincible and Ji Xuantong couldn't sit still, and directly found Dongfang Shuo to seek a solution.
Dongfang Shuo smiled and asked, "Why do you think business is so bleak?"
"Hmm...... I think it's because it's a bit too innovative for many people to understand!" Ji Xuantong said after rubbing his chin.
"That's right, everyone instinctively wants to wait and see what is new, and no one dares to be the first to eat crabs, so once someone eats crabs and says that the crabs are delicious, then everyone will want to taste how delicious the crabs are!"
"What does this have to do with crabs?"
“......”
Dongfang Shuo is very similar to saying that you go back and think for yourself, but after seeing the little eyes of Ji Xuantong and Murong Invincible, he had no choice but to say: "After the crab is cooked, it will turn red, and red things may be poisonous, so no one is sure whether the crab is poisonous or not, and now the crab has become a very common delicacy, isn't this because someone tried the poison first?"
"Oh, what does that mean, who is the first person to eat crabs?
"No, the first person to eat crabs is naturally Taiyimen, and this trade must make a lot of money, because Taiyimen may still have no business in the next few months, this time it must earn to make up for the deficit in these months, in addition, we have to prepare some funds to wait for the acquisition of some docks!"
"Still want to buy, six docks are already our limit!" Murong Invincible said helplessly, every dock and ship is worth a lot, they really don't have any spare money to continue buying!
"I know, but the next dock doesn't need to be bought by Taiyimen, just wait for others to sell it, don't rush to make a move, wait for the price to drop to a certain point!"
"Oh......"
After thinking for a while, Dongfang Shuo said to Ji Xuantong again: "Xuanling Sect also help, once the Taiyi Sect succeeds in this business, your trade house will be busy next!"
"Understood, I'll find some good things to throw to Old Man Murong to sell!"
"I'll look through it too!"
