Hearing Cream's question, the other members also stopped chatting and turned their heads to look at Arrow.

Arrow smiled, thinking as he walked with his hands behind his back. After sorting out a little bit of a clue, he said slowly-

"That's an interesting question. Why did I feel so confident that there would be a conflict between the two of them, and so confident that I would come to Count Karp? Hehe, in fact, from the very beginning, I felt that even if there was no conflict between them, this time Count Karp would definitely be on our side. ”

Cream frowned, "Why?" If it weren't for the competition between their main battle faction and the main peace faction, wouldn't we be busy in vain this time? ”

Arrow shook his head slightly and began to say-

"Cream, even Brad, Parfay, Coco. I ask you, under what circumstances does a person with a great deal of wealth have to do whatever it takes to kill someone who does not seem to be in his way at all? ”

The four members thought about it and shook their heads.

"When a person gets in the way of his own wealth, then even if that person has no intention of being an enemy of himself from the beginning, then I, as a person with a lot of money, will want to destroy this guy immediately."

Seeing that these members were still confused, Arrow began to elaborate-

"I've been thinking about this since we got the news from the little spirits owner. When I actually arrived in this Tianhe City, I was even more convinced that my guess was indeed correct. ”

"We all know that the specialty of Tianhe City is animal husbandry, especially the meat of a giant toothed pig can be said to be the best specialty here."

"I'm afraid that the income that this kind of specialty can bring to Tianhe City is definitely not a few, even if it can't account for 20% of the total operating income, 10% should still be owned."

"But, you've all seen it. Due to the natural geographical location of Tianhe City, the breeding industry can only expand to that large size at most, which means that the output of this giant tooth pig is fixed so much every year, and it is impossible to become more at all. ”

"If that Earl Karp wants to continue to make money, or even more money, then there are only two ways to do it."

"First, expand their own sales channels and include more customers in their basic market."

"Second, it is to increase the scale of breeding and produce more giant tooth pigs to meet the market."

"Let's look at the first method first, expand the sales channel."

"This is actually not complicated, it is a very basic way to advertise more and let the upper class eat their own giant tooth pork to increase the impact. Although the production of megalodons is limited, it is not able to satisfy everyone. Of course, from an economic point of view, this is not a big deal. Since production is scarce, it is natural to generate income by raising prices. This is a way for many business guilds that have local specialties or specialty products to increase their income without expanding production. ”

"But when this specialty product becomes pork, this unilateral price increase to make a profit becomes a bit more complicated."

"Although the giant tooth pork in Tianhe City has enough characteristics and has a unique flavor and taste, for the entire Blue Bay Empire, no matter how special this product is, it is just a kind of 'pork'."

"When the price of pork with its characteristic flavor is within their own affordable range, then people may buy it and eat it. Especially when the aristocracy tasted the pork for propaganda, the commoners also wanted to try it. ”

"But if the price goes up to a point where people don't think it's worth buying at all, then people will naturally give up on the food."

"Anyway, it's just a type of pork. Tianhe City is not the only one that cultivates pork in the entire Blue Bay Empire. Although the Giant Tooth Pig in Tianhe City tastes good, it is not an irreplaceable product. Raising prices in such a situation is equivalent to digging one's own grave and handing away the market share that was so hard to grab. ”

Seeing that these guys were all frowning and seemed to be thinking about it, Ai Luo thought for a moment and said with a smile: "You should have eaten their unique pork dishes when you were walking around Tianhe City, right?" How does it feel? Is it expensive? ”

Coco raised her hand suddenly, and said with a glint in her eyes: "I've eaten it!" Brother President, a few of us went to a restaurant and ordered a plate of pork pizza! That meat, it's really fragrant, oh my God~~~! ”

While speaking, this little girl's saliva is about to roll down a little uncontrollably.

Brad on the side smiled and said, "It's delicious, and the price is not expensive." The four of us ate two pizzas, which were only eight copper coins. ”

Arrow nodded and said, "So, what if the price of this pizza is raised to five silver coins?" Promoted to one gold coin? You know this pork is delicious, but will you still eat it? ”

Brad and Cream pinched their mouths, thought about it, and frowned. Cream waved his hand and smiled, "Although the pizza tastes good, I don't even know how to take a bite of it for more than a silver coin." The price is really a bit expensive. ”

Arrow smiled, "So, do you understand?" If you want to increase the amount of sales by simply expanding the sales channels, this path will not work at all. Because although the specialties of Tianhe City are special, they have not reached the state of 'special and irreplaceable, and belong to daily necessities or semi-necessities'. In this case, Count Karp naturally thought of taking the second path, which was to increase production. ”

But the second path also has its limitations. Because of the geographical structure of Tianhe City, it is impossible for the city to give up more places for animal husbandry. But if you reclaim the entire area around the city, there are also large areas of mountainous land around Tianhe City, and reclamation is equivalent to completely rebuilding a new city, and the cost of money is definitely not a small amount. ”

"In this case, if you can borrow a ready-made administrative division with good management, and it can be within your control, not too far from your own city, and if you have this large amount of land where you can expand your aquaculture, then even if the existing managers of this land are completely innocent of their own grievances, Count Karp will definitely go up and use his brains."

"And this city, unfortunately, is the Lagoon City run by that Viscount Norris."

At this point, the members seemed to have finally connected the two nobles, and one by one they listened with great interest as if they were listening to some very interesting anecdote.

"I don't know if Count Karp has consulted and communicated with Viscount Norris. But even if there were, I'm afraid Viscount Norris would never agree to such a thing. ”

"Let's not mention that the two sides belong to different parties, if you just talk about the relationship of interests, Viscount Norris will definitely not allow Count Karp to reach into his territory."

"If Count Karp is really allowed to move the Megalodon farm to his own territory, then even if the agreement signed by the two sides is very fair and the distribution of benefits is very reasonable, Viscount Norris can no longer refuse Earl Karp's request to place people in his territory. Nor could it stop the earl's request to come to his realm twice in three days to 'inspect'. ”

"For these nobles, their own territory is their own territory, and everyone wants to have more territory, more people, how can they allow others to enter their territory casually? In addition, if there are too many times, and if Count Karp starts to publicize the existence of the Megatooth Pig in a big way, will those people in Lagoon City have cognitive illusions in the future? It is not known that Count Karp is his true master. ”

"Because of this, there is naturally a huge disagreement between Earl Karp and Viscount Norris because of the issue of interests. Both sides are in a state of blocking each other's financial routes. That's the answer to my question. People with great wealth don't care if they hurt other people's interests in order to be able to make more money. Later, the only purpose of the bourgeoisie's existence in this world was to constantly collect wealth, like those evil dragons, entrenched in a large amount of treasure, and then melted with a scorching flame anyone who wanted to covet their treasure. ”

"That's why I'm sure that the contradictions between these two nobles are absolutely irreconcilable. As long as Count Karp still wants to make more money, he will never let go of any opportunity to hurt Viscount Norris. As long as Viscount Norris's status in the hearts of the people of Lagoon City can be greatly reduced, then in order to maintain the stability of the people in the territory, the lord must give the people promises. At times like these, Count Karp comes with the business of the Megatooth Pig, which will always bring an extra income to Lagoon City anyway. So by that time, I am not afraid that Viscount Norris will not sign this contract. ”

After Arrow's explanation, everyone finally understood the relationship and the problem.

The crowd lowered their heads and began to walk forward in silence. I don't know how long it took for Cream to silently wave his fist-

"It's all about the money. In order to make money, these nobles don't care how many people die at all, and they don't care if they cause suffering to others. I really don't understand why they want so much money?! They are already doomed to run out of money in their lives, so what's the point of wanting more? It's not like it's a hundred after death. ”
