Chapter 820: Change
In the Pearl Star Field, between the major empires, there are often some kingdoms; The meaning of these kingdoms is clear - buffer zones!
Development is king, and the Pearl Star Domain has developed for more than 100,000 years, or even longer, so of course I understand this truth. Even if the high-end development of science and technology has temporarily encountered a bottleneck, it does not hinder the refined development and universal development of technology -- let cutting-edge technology gradually become civilian technology.
But as a vast empire in the interstellar age, it is inevitable that there will be various conflicts between countries; It is important to create a buffer zone. In particular, if the other side suddenly starts a war, the kingdom in the buffer zone can at least add a little more preparation time to the later empires. In the interstellar age, even a day's preparation time is precious.
That is to say, in the Daozhì Pearl Star Field, there are many kingdoms. The weakest kingdoms are even like the earth back then, with several kingdoms in a galaxy or planet; However, here in the Pearl Star Field, there are few such kingdoms, and most of them are conquered civilizations; Generally speaking, the more common kingdoms are those with one or three galaxies, a population of about 10 million at most, and a certain amount of technological power - unfortunately, this is the stage of the current civilization on Earth.
And in addition to this, there are some more powerful kingdoms, and they even have the power to threaten the empire. These kingdoms tend to come out of the corners of a few multiple empires, a bit like a delta. It's just that in the universe, because it is a three-dimensional structure, there are not many such cracks.
If the civilizations and countries in the Pearl Star Field are divided into levels, they can be roughly divided into three. The first tier. It is the first ten empires, especially the four empires among them; The second echelon is the general empire, the top 100 empire; And the rest is the kingdom.
In fact, the difference between the weakest empire and the most powerful kingdom is not so stark; It's just that powerful kingdoms are generally within the Pearl Star Field, in the cracks of those empires within 20; And those weak empires tend to be on the edge of the Pearl Star Field. In reality, it is not comparable because it is too far away.
And today's White Frost Kingdom is a representative of the kingdom world, the White Frost Kingdom is located between the three empires of the Wind Empire, the Sky Cloud Empire and the Shining Spirit Empire; Among them, the Shining Empire ranks 31st among the top 100 empires, while the Wind Empire ranks 88th and the Skycloud Empire ranks 97th; The Wind Empire and the Skycloud Empire combined can compete with the Shining Empire.
Of course, when it comes to numerical power, one Shining Empire is certainly not comparable to the other two empires tied together; However, the inability of the two parties to cooperate with each other is the biggest weakness.
That is, in such a situation. The White Frost Kingdom, which is at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, is on the left and right. It's actually going well. However, the White Frost Kingdom was very self-aware and knew that it was difficult to make a difference under the oppression of these empires, and a thousand years ago the king resolutely decided to deter the pirate army in addition to the necessary deterrence. There is no real war army! Make the kingdom a real business kingdom! There are only kings in the kingdom, not kings - dare you call them emperors!
And for this millennium. It also proves the vision of the king back then. Because there were no war armies, it was promised and supported by several empires; As a result, it became a paradise for free trade between the three empires; Its fame has led to more empires and kingdoms in the surrounding area to set up business offices.
Because of this, the Kingdom of White Frost is considered a commoner. They are all very rich, which seems to be a practice without an army, but it has brought a huge amount of wealth to the kingdom! As long as the three empires still have commercial needs, the White Frost Kingdom will be rich! It is simple and effective to suck blood from the three empires through the means of commerce.
The White Frost Kingdom has two galaxies, six life planets, and a population of more than 50 billion, and the main race is the Hanshan people; It is said that its ancestors originated in the cold fields of glaciers, and its human race is generally strong, with thick subcutaneous fat, very hardy, and born with white hair like snow. -- This is the investigation of this race by the earth civilization.
However, even if there is no army, the current White Frost Kingdom has the power of three Earth Advance Bases.
Similarly, due to commercial reasons, and the fact that it is relatively close to the South Gate Galaxy of Earth Civilization, only about three light years, the spaceship with warp speed engines and the special environment of the Pearl Star Field are enough for half a year; Therefore, it has also become a dumping ground for the earth's civilization!
Yes, dumping! From the perspective of the earth's civilization, there is a limit to the needs of all countries and people in the universe, but there is also a limit to their purchasing power. Under such circumstances, it is one of the strategies of the earth civilization to flood the market with a large number of cheap and high-quality goods!
Sell premium goods as first-class goods and first-class goods as second-class goods...... The price of lower-grade products is closer to the cost price!
One of the biggest costs of industrialized goods is energy consumption! And the energy technology of the earth's civilization has provided at least half of the cost of energy use for the development of the earth's industrial commodities! Not to mention, today's Nanmen galaxy has a large number of people and automated production because of the small population of the earth, which further reduces the cost. In addition, the means of collecting metals by the earth's civilization, especially the mining methods of magnetizable metals, have further reduced the cost of metals. This mining technology that magnetizes the entire planet、It is also a dangerous destruction technology、Earth civilization has not been leaked!
On top of that, there's the cost of transportation – and in the end, it's all about energy consumption! In such a situation, the price of small goods, the price of goods of the earth's civilization is at least thirty percent cheaper, and the average price is four cities cheaper; Bulky goods, such as spaceships, are two to three percent cheaper if the quality is not much different. In particular, the energy blocks and warp engine technology native to the earth's civilization have always attracted a large number of business travelers.
As for the unique mecha technology, the meticulous craftsmanship of the earth civilization over the past 700 years is not a joke, the pinnacle product of the parallel technology and art, responsibility and quality, the asking price of the earth civilization is: 100,000 yuan to start! We only do boutiques, and the price positioning is the most expensive in the universe!
This is an excellent plan to rise, using low-priced goods to plunder the world's wealth and impact the stability of the market; Establish your own brand and reputation with high-end products! A set of combo punches down. Let the earth civilization now be like a fish in water in the White Frost Kingdom!
The capital of the White Frost Kingdom, the planet, has a diameter of about 20,000 kilometers, but because the planet contains a small amount of metal, the planet itself tends to be cold, and one-third of the world's area is covered by glaciers, so the gravity on this planet is just a little more than the standard gravity of the earth. However, the planet has a large surface area, and tens of billions of people live here.
Today, on the equator of this planet, there is a huge base, even a small town! This place, that is. Huaxia City!
Here are the many dumping sites set up by Huaxia in the Pearl Star Field. One of the many free trade centers, but because of the geography, politics and other environments, there is no doubt that this one is the largest! Because, it is the White Frost Kingdom that rules here! And for the kingdom of hoarfrost. Just collect taxes. Nothing else has anything to do with me! Therefore. He won't care about any unfair business competition -- as long as you don't fight, it's easy to talk about anything!
And such a strategy makes the business of the earth's civilization here like a fish in water! On the six planets of life in the Kingdom of Ahofrost. There are two or three commercial centers on each planet; Of course, the capital star hoarfrost, is the most perfect.
With good quality and low prices and door-to-door delivery services, coupled with good after-sales service, the earth civilization has become one of the largest commercial organizations here in just five years! It is even rumored that the White Frost Kingdom is preparing for a new commercial reform, and the reform ideas in it are consulted by the earthlings.
But all the qiē has nothing to do with the "Top of the White Clouds" shopping mall! Ever since the Earth civilization entered the White Frost Kingdom, the Top of the White Cloud Mall has begun to go downhill!
Compare quality - what quality can low-grade goods have, that is, the cost price!
Compare the price - the excellent energy block technology of the earth civilization allows the earth civilization to save at least one-third of the cost, and this is only the number on the surface.
Than service - well, it's a concept that's been around for a long time, and it turns out to be a big change by that hateful earthling! Look at all this! Dissatisfied? Refund within 1 month! Bad quality? Each problem is converted into a large reward, which can be compensated with money or non-taxable goods; And the original product is unconditionally replaced. What products are man-made damage and the like, the same service throws no one can find the problem. Door-to-door repair of large goods within 12 hours! (Well, taking advantage of the opportunity, the humans of Earth have sold their own units of time!) This is actually a kind of hidden invasion. )
White clouds. Blue. Cai Yunfei is the direct bloodline of the royal family of the White Cloud Empire, and is also the surface person in charge of the White Frost Kingdom's commerce in the White Cloud Empire, and the controller of the White Cloud Top Shopping Center. Although the people of the White Cloud Empire are somewhat lacking in aesthetics, in Baiyun. Blue. Caiyunfei's body turned into a wild moon enchantment! Dark with a lilac complexion, a slender tail, and a bewitching figure, even the aesthetics of earthlings are perfect. And the white clouds. Blue. Caiyunfei herself is one of the more well-known beauties in the empire.
But now, his brows are furrowed, and the heads of the various departments below dare not take a breath! The reason is very simple, the Huaxia Shopping Center not far away is extremely popular, but it has been declining here for five consecutive years! This situation has caused a lot of discontent - domestic factories or the dissatisfaction of the royal family, etc.! Although the White Frost Kingdom has a weak military strength, it has abundant wealth, and this is a market that the White Cloud Empire cannot give up! And that's just the economic implications.
If you take into account the geographical location of the White Frost Kingdom, etc., there is no reason to give up. But now, the shopping mall is full of birds, how miserable!
Standing on the high-rise building, you can see that many people enter the top of the white cloud shopping mall, not to buy, but to look at the price after the goods, and then the bumpy runway of the earth civilization shopping center, soon after seeing the earthlings personally use the hovering car to send these buyers home alone!
Obviously, another success story!
"It can't go on like this!" White clouds. Blue. Cai Yunfei kept telling himself in his heart! However, after four years of saying this, it still doesn't change anything! Within the rules, earthlings are as cunning as foxes! Outside the rules - not everyone is qualified to try it! (To be continued......)
