97 Source of raw materials
After answering Zhan Xiaobai's question about the fluctuations in raw material prices, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiaobai, how do you want to operate? Hoard? Resell? Fight for interest rate spreads?"
"No. Even if we stock up on most of the raw materials in the market, no village will come to us for high prices because they can't pay. They will only organize manpower to obtain cheap raw materials. This will waste our own resources. So," Zhan Xiaobai paused and laughed, "What we need to do is to control the source of raw materials! Only in order to get benefits for a long time."
Speaking of this, he said, "Young hero, Ah Fei!"
"exist!"
The young hero of Spring and Autumn next to him, A Fei responded at the same time.
Zhan Xiaobai asked: "What are your achievements in the past few days?"
The young hero of Chunqiu and A Fei looked at each other. The young hero of Chunqiu stepped forward and said, "Boss, when you left, you said to control all the wild resources near the village as much as possible in our hands. A Fei and I did this according to this requirement. In the past two days, we have mobilized nearly half of the warrior players in the village and obtained control of all resources in the two villages of Xiaobai Village and Wutong Village. Players who are not in this village can no longer obtain resources in this area. In addition, our village and Daqi Village, Hubao Village, Hualing Village and other several intersections are working hard to expand their power."
“What are there?”
The young man in Chunqiu drew a sketch on the sand, pointing out the location one by one. "There are thirteen large monster-sweeping leveling points in our village and Wutong Village, more than 40 small brushing points, seventeen forest areas, a dense herb collection point, and more than fifty herb collection points. In addition, more than 30 NPcs in the wild were found, and they would post various small tasks. These are completely under our control. Players from this village and Wutong Village cannot get close to them."
Zhan Xiaobai nodded, "Well, it's done well. Only by figuring out all the resources at hand can you make reasonable use of them."
A Fei interrupted, "Actually, there is still a big leveling point. I said I wanted to take over, but the young hero said that he could not fight and would offend people."
"Oh, where?"
A Fei pointed to a place far away from Xiaobai Village and said, "Here, Gray Wolf Valley! This is the largest monster brushing point within a radius of twenty miles. Players from five or six villages are upgraded here."
Zhan Xiaobai looked at the place where A Fei pointed, about 6 miles southwest of Xiaobai Village. He had passed by this place. There were indeed many players there. After passing the Gray Wolf Valley several miles, he was the abandoned Gray Sunshine Village, and then Hutou Mountain.
Zhan Xiaobai suddenly remembered the Gray Sunshine Village and asked, "Young hero, how is the current situation of the Gray Sunshine Village?"
The young hero of Chunqiu said: "You have told me to pay attention to the movements of this village, so I often let the players passing by check. I have always been the same, entrenched by a group of evil men and gangsters, and the number of people remains at about 100. Because it is very blood-harming, there are not many players who dare to go there."
Zhan Xiaobai thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then we don't have to be polite."
He drew a big triangle between the villages on the map on the sand, "Xiaobai Village, Wutong Village, and Gray Sunshine Village, all the territory within this big triangle belongs to us! Naturally, including the two large leveling points of Gray Wolf Valley and Gray Sunshine Village, the resources within the scope of Gray Sunshine Village are also ours. This will be our goal for our near-term expansion."
The young hero of Chunqiu, A Fei and others were excited, "If this could be done, the territory between the three villages would be absolutely large enough! We don't have to worry about not having enough territory and not having enough resources for the time being."
Jianba couldn't help but praise, "This step is indeed necessary to put the Gray Sunshine Village into our sphere of influence, and it will not cause too much conflict between our village and other villages."
Zhan Xiaobai looked at the young hero of Chunqiu, A Fei and said, "I will leave this matter to you two to do. Let your hands go. When you act, you must announce to the public that this area belongs to the sphere of influence of Xiaobai Village. Whoever competes with us for this triangle area will let them know who has a harder fist in this area."
Young Hero of Spring and Autumn, A Fei nodded quickly.
Qiu Shui worriedly said, "Brother Bai, it's okay to be within the scope of our village and Wutong Village. But if we drive away players from other villages near the Gray Sunshine Village, will it give people a feeling of being too domineering?"
Jianba shook his head and said, "The benefits of resources are either ours or others. There is no benevolence or righteousness to talk about. Occasionally, it is necessary to be domineering. Otherwise, giving the resources to the neighboring village for nothing will only inflated other people's wealth and weaken your own strength."
Everyone discussed how to control the territory of this small area and maximize the development and utilization of the resources therein.
Jianba was just talking, saying an interesting news: "When talking about wild plant resources, I suddenly remembered something. Yesterday I heard a businessman player say that the tea farmers in Hualing Village were lost."
"Lost? No, right~~~~!" A Fei shouted strangely, "Haha~, they are really, it's too careless to lose such a living person!"
“Don’t they always treat tea farmers as treasures?”
"I don't know, it seems that the tea farmer got lost by himself."
Zhan Xiaobai felt a little regretful. If there is no tea farmers in Hualing Village, and if his village wants to build a new teahouse in the future, where should we buy tea?
Li A San knew nothing about these resources and stayed honestly by his side, stretched his neck and listened with relish. These interesting things were really more exciting than storytelling for him.
An hour passed soon, and the merchant players summoned by Jianba had basically arrived.
Jianba went out to arrange tasks, distributed a batch of medicines and iron weapons to them, and scattered them to more than 30 villages around Xiaobai Village. There was only one goal, which was to exchange it back for a batch of raw materials quietly.
A businessman player asked what to do for so many raw materials. Jianba smiled and said in a confused manner: "Housing and reselling, and fighting for a little interest rate spread. As for the others, don't ask more questions, everyone will know after a while. I won't let you work in vain, it will definitely benefit you. Don't reveal this news."
The merchant player was puzzled that such low-cost raw materials were everywhere in the market, and some of them were thrown on the ground, and no one could pick them up. No matter how much they resell, they would not be able to make much profit.
Some players trusted Jianba very much and said, "Boss Jianba, then we can invest some money ourselves, can we make money?"
Jianba said, "It's okay, but if you lose money, don't blame me for not declaring it in advance. The profits are small and the risks are high."
Tiger and Leopard Village.
Player Staff Tian Bao just received a message from the hidden inside line and was thinking hard.
"What are they collecting raw materials? Hoarding? Reselling?"
He shook his head, and he felt funny about this guess. If even the raw materials could be reselled, his iron weapons in Hubao Village would have made a fortune long ago.
"But since they dare to collect, I might as well send a few people to collect some. Everyone earns money together, and everyone loses money together. Humph~."
