With hard power?

They suddenly gasped and looked at Li Qi with wide eyes.

"What's your expression?"

Li Qi was very dissatisfied.

Qianwu immediately swallowed, and said with a smile: "Alliance leader, if it is hard power, then we will definitely not be able to fight the kingdom, this is really not my cowardice, because we have no strength that can defeat the kingdom." ”

The rest of the chiefs nodded their heads.

If you want to play conspiracy, then you may still be able to succeed, but fighting hard power, this is no different from looking for death!

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "I'll just ask you, is wisdom considered strength?" ”

"Of course." Qianwu nodded, and then sighed, "But we are not as wise as the royal family. ”

"Please don't put 'me' in 'us', the last war has given a clear answer, that is, my wisdom is above the royal family." Li Qi said.

Qianya looked worried: "Alliance leader, are you inflated?" ”

"Swell your sister."

Li Qi's eyes widened.

Zhan Feng hurriedly said: "Qianwu, don't interject, listen to the alliance leader first." ”

As he spoke, he said to Li Qi again: "Alliance leader, what way can you compete with the royal family?" ”

Li Qi said: "Everyone, let me repeat, this is not a war, this is trade, since it is trade, even if it is a fight, it is not necessarily a stronger side to win, I think you are no stranger to trading, haven't you seen a weak owner better than a strong owner?" In fact, I am a typical example! ”

Everybody just looks at him, we can trust you, but you have to come up with a way, what are we going to do next.

Li Qi coughed lightly and said, "Let me ask you, what do you think is the most powerful aspect of the kingdom in trade?" ”

Lance Fu immediately said: "Transportation, currency, resources." ”

It's a well-known thing.

"That's right."

Li Qi nodded and said: "In fact, these three things are also the three key factors for the kingdom to dominate trade, among them, we really have no way to fight for the kingdom, but we also have our own unique resources, but the kingdom's resources are richer than ours and better than ours, so let's put it aside first." The main thing is currency and transportation, and the reason why the kingdom wants to prevent us from developing steam cars is also because we are afraid that we will threaten their dominance. Now that my strategy is to compete with the kingdom for the market of the other second-class races, then we must defeat the kingdom in terms of currency and transportation so that we can win the market. ”

Lan Cai was sweating profusely when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Alliance Leader, are you mistaken, this currency and transportation are the most powerful advantages of the kingdom, and at the same time, they are also our biggest disadvantages, if we fight these two, we will not be able to fight them." ”

No matter how it should be, with its own strengths, attack the enemy's shortcomings.

Your old man is good, completely upside down, use your own shortcomings to fight for other people's strengths, and it's not such a way to find death!

Li Qi said confidently: "I'm not mistaken, you said this before, it was not wrong, but now that we have a steam car, we can fight with the kingdom." Then again, if you don't fight for both, how can you win the kingdom? ”

The chiefs thought about it, and it seemed that this resource was not equal in the first place, and if transportation and currency were in the hands of the kingdom, how could they compete.

Zhan Feng said: "Then according to the alliance lord's meaning, how can we compete with the kingdom in these two aspects?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "If you want to compete, you must first figure out what the essence of these two is. To put it simply, in fact, the essence of these two things has no value, whether it is transportation or currency, they are both in the service of transactions and goods. ”

Zhan Feng nodded slightly.

This truth is not difficult to understand, because transportation and currency are not a piece of cake, it is just serving the cake, and if there is no cake, then neither transportation nor currency has any meaning.

Li Qi continued: "Therefore, the essence is still in the commodity, and what we want is not actually transportation, but to sell our goods, as long as the customer wants to buy our goods, then without the help of the kingdom, we can only rely on our own transportation." The essence of transportation is an indispensable auxiliary function, so we must give full play to the characteristics of this transportation. ”

Hearing this, the house said, "How to play to the extreme." ”

"It's simple, free shipping."

"Huh?"

"Ahem, ahem!"

Li Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Free shipping means that as long as the other party buys our goods, we will provide free shipping." ”

"Free?"

The chiefs were taken aback.

"Yes, it's free."

Li Qi said: "As I analyzed earlier, the essence of transportation is that it does not have any value, transportation is to serve commodities, since this is the case, then we do not give any value to transportation, and integrate it with commodities." ”

Lan Cai said excitedly: "But in this case, who will be engaged in the transportation industry, we produce steam cars, also to make money!" ”

Li Qi said: "If we are engaged in trade, we must take a long-term view, can't we just see the land in front of us, just imagine, if all the second-class races have railroad tracks in their territory, will they still use the kingdom's transportation?" Think again, the kingdom is the only one that has no railroads, so where are the goods shipped? The rails are able to sell our goods and at the same time bring us more goods.

The benefits of mere transportation are only a drop in the bucket compared to the profits. Moreover, when more and more profits are carried on the rails, then even if it does not charge a single penny, its own value will rise to a point that you can't imagine, and the big producers of the rest of the industry can not subsidize the rails? You can't get out without railroad rails. It's just that at the beginning, we had to join forces to subsidize the transportation, and the money in it was advanced by our Huaxia Alliance, and we sold our goods first, as long as the goods were sold, then everything was easy to talk about. ”

After these words, everyone nodded frequently, including Haiye, who didn't know much about transportation, and inexplicably felt very awesome.

But this is by no means a fool, but a fact.

At present, only the Chinese Alliance has rails inside, and there are no outside, and the benefits of rails are very limited, and when the rails become incomparable, carrying many, many interests, the value of the rails themselves will rise sharply, and with value, there will naturally be owners to invest.

Zhan Feng suddenly said, "Then what if the kingdom does the same?" ”

Li Qi said: "This is the price war I talked about before, it depends on who can afford to lose." ”

Qianwu said: "Then we must not be able to afford it!" ”

Li Qi smiled: "If you don't compete, you will never know whether you will win or lose, and besides, the steam car has just come out, and no one knows how much potential it has." Of course, this strategy is my proposal, and I will take the lead in setting an example, and our Huaxia tribe will provide you with steam engines for free, and provide you with black iron for free, so as to reduce the cost of transporting the owner. ”

When the chiefs heard this, they immediately felt that this is not bad, you provide it for free, then we will not spend much money, and it is mainly our goods.

Lance Fu asked again, "What about the currency?" ”

Li Qi said: "In fact, the essence of money is no different from the transportation industry, it is just a medium in the transaction, when you don't recognize it, even if it is the currency of the kingdom, it has no value, and conversely, we can also give it value." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of white paper from his pocket, picked up a pen and drew a shell on it, then handed it to Qianwu, and said, "You can take this piece of paper and go to our Huaxia tribe to buy a jar of wine." ”

Keiya took the paper, looked at it, and asked, "Really?" ”

"Of course."

Li Qi nodded and said, "Have you seen it, what is the difference between this piece of paper and currency?" The kingdom's colored shells can buy a jar of wine, and this piece of paper can also buy a jar of wine. ”

Lan Cai said: "But this can only be bought in the Huaxia Alliance." ”

Li Qi smiled: "When you all recognize this piece of paper, then this paper can be purchased in your territory, and if of course all races recognize it, then this is the currency." In terms of currency, I intend to officially separate the Huaxia currency from the kingdom and become an independent currency. ”

"How can this work?"

Yue Wei said: "Even if we approve it, those big producers won't approve it." ”

"What if the currency came from them?" Li Qi asked with a smile.

Yue Wei was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "It's very simple, since we want Huaxia coins to be independent, then we can't control them, because we are chiefs, not producers, we don't sell goods, and there is no point in us approving it." Rather, it should be recognized by those large producers, as long as they approve it, then Huaxia coins can go to them to buy goods. Therefore, I intend to select a hundred large producers from all walks of life from among our twenty-four races to form a shell belonging to our Huaxia Alliance, and they will issue currency in a unified manner and formulate monetary policy by them. ”

Qianwu said: "How can it be done, then they can have as many Huaxia coins as they want, Huaxia coins are just a piece of paper." ”

Li Qi said: "Whose goods are Huaxia coins bought?" It's not their commodity, they also carry Huaxia coins in their pockets, and once Huaxia coins become worthless, they will also be hurt a lot. Moreover, our Huaxia Alliance Trade Association will also supervise it on the sidelines. ”

Zhan Feng said: "But the alliance leader, even if you do what you say, then the Huaxia currency can only be used in our Huaxia Alliance, how can it compete with the kingdom?" ”

Li Qi said: "As long as our model is successful, and everyone agrees, then we can also add members to come in, if you have a choice, do you think everyone wants to control the currency in their own hands, or in the hands of the kingdom, as Fang Cai Qianwu said, the kingdom has a monopoly on money, they can have as much currency as they want, is this fair?" ”
