Even a super-strong person who has far surpassed the limits of human beings and is no longer interested in the country has something that interests him and must be done. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

For Leon, building the city of Gars and building the Masquerade of the Void is what he is interested in and must do.

"Your Majesty, are you interested in reading the policy address?" After chatting about the game, he began to get down to business, "At the end of each year, I will sort out the governing report of Gars City, record in detail what happened this year, and make an evaluation. Through reviewing the past, I have constantly discovered my shortcomings in governing ability and governance, and then corrected them - but in recent years there are very few things that can be corrected, probably because of my lack of observation. ”

Sui Xiong thought about it, nodded, and then got a policy address.

It was Gals City's annual report last year, and from the annual report, the biggest problem that Gars encountered this year was that the situation of several business partners was not stable.

There are several trade routes in Gars City, which connect several important business partners. Last year, the two important business partners in the south were not doing well, such as Cloud Tower City in the Mystic Tower Federation, where they originally sold Garth a large amount of crafts and magical materials from Warcraft in exchange for spices and treasures of the deep sea. But since the end of the previous year, the materials they sold began to decrease, and last year, they sold only about 70% of the usual materials.

"What about this year?" Sui Xiong asked curiously after reading the report, "How is the transaction of that Cloud Tower City this year?"

"Some time ago, it was okay, it was almost able to maintain seventy percent. But since the destruction of Jinta City, it has suddenly dropped to fifty percent, and it has also said that it may be lowered. Leon sighed, "To put it bluntly, this trade route is to collect materials from the northwest region of the Mystic Tower Federation with Golden Tower City as the hub, and then transport them to Cloud Tower City, and then transport them to Garth by sea...... Before the independence of Jinta City, it has greatly affected the operation of this trade route, and now that Jinta City is completely destroyed, this trade route has been hit by a huge blow, and I don't know when it will be fully restored. ”

Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Jinta City, they are all independent, and the Mystic Pagoda Federation actually allows them to operate trade routes?"

"Independence is independence, business is business. Leon smiled and explained, "It's just a matter of collecting more taxes along the way, and even then it's actually very difficult to do, after all, the city of Jinta is not easy to deal with, and there are no strong cities along the way...... The Jinta City caravan changed its route, bypassing those strong cities and passing through those cities that were not strong enough, although it took some time and increased the cost, but in general, the trade route was okay. ”

"So...... Even if the Golden Tower City is destroyed, the trade route should still be able to operate, right?" Sui Xiong asked, "To put it bluntly, this trade route is from the northwest region of the Mystic Tower Federation to Garth City, and whether there is a Golden Tower City in the middle, it won't have much impact." ”

"The impact is great, the Golden Tower City is the commercial hub of the entire Secret Tower Federation in the northwest region, where all kinds of materials are operated and assembled. Without it, it will be very difficult to dispatch and raise supplies. Leon shook his head and added, "However, Cloud Tower City said that it is actively seeking alternatives, and it is estimated that in a year or two, this trade route will be fully restored." It's just that...... The price may be a little more expensive, about half to one percent. ”

"Is there still a profit at such a price?"

"Of course there is, it's just that we also raise the price. Leon smiled again, "That's how business is done, we also lower the price when others lower the price, and we also increase the price when others raise the price." Maybe the size of the trade will decrease a little, but the margin of profit will not decrease much. ”

"What if the profit margin is reduced a little bit to maintain the size of the deal?" Sui Xiong asked.

"I've calculated that in that case, it would be more cost-effective in terms of pure economy. But from a political point of view, it is not cost-effective. After all, our Gals business partner is not only Cloud Tower City, if Cloud Tower City can increase the price, then of course others can. If you do this, the loss will be great. ”

"Why do other people do it? They didn't suffer any losses!"

"Businessmen don't care about that kind of reason, they only care about rising and falling prices. The shopping mall is like a battlefield, the reason on the battlefield is not important, the victory is important, and the reason in the shopping mall is also not important, the profit is important. After all, we Gals are in business, not charity, and we can't break the rules just because others are unlucky. Leon paused, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, are you worried about the damage to the interests of the small merchants, hunters, and adventurers......? But I can't compromise on price, that's a big no-no in the mall. ”

Sui Xiong nodded with satisfaction, he knew that Leon must be able to understand what he meant.

He doesn't care about the interests of the big businessmen, anyway, those people have a lot of money, even if they spend a lot of money every day, they can eat, drink and enjoy for a few lifetimes. But he was a little worried about the small businessmen and the most basic "suppliers".

Prices are rising and transactions are shrinking, which will inevitably hurt the interests of suppliers. Maybe some low-quality goods will be rejected, or maybe big businessmen will use this opportunity to make them sign all kinds of harsh contracts, as for the loss of being passed on, it is simply an inevitable thing...... These things are not uncommon, but can be said to be commonplace. Therefore, Sui Xiongcai hopes to protect the interests of those grassroots suppliers as much as possible, and not let them become victims of big businessmen passing on losses and knocking out the bones.

Since Leon already has a plan in this regard, Sui Xiong doesn't have much to say, he believes that Leon can do things well.

Over the years, Leon has been able to get things done, and this time will be no exception.

After saying this, Sui Xiong asked if there was anything special happening during this time.

Leon thought for a long time, and then replied: "Around the summer of this year, I once felt a fluctuation of power at the bottom of the sea near Gars, but it was only for a momentβ€”I happened to have a delay in something at the time, so I didn't go to investigate. I didn't feel the fluctuation afterwards, so I didn't pay attention to it. ”

"Oh? What kind of power is that?"

"It feels a bit like the power of the 'Raging Tide' Hemsala, only it is more skillful and soft than what I felt back then, like a sharp sword turned into a solid iron ball...... That's how it feels. ”

Sui Xiong was overjoyed that Hemsalla had chosen to sleep at the bottom of the sea near Garth in order to help him protect Garth. Although Leon is now strong, strong enough to protect Garth, this love must be accepted.

Listening to Leon, Hemsalla seems to have fully mastered his power, which is much faster than what he said before, "fast is a hundred years, slow is two or three hundred years".

So he said goodbye to Leon and flew straight out of Garth, towards the bottom of the sea where Hemsalla was sleeping.
