The correct way to open the sprite

Chapter 130 Trade Surplus
It's okay if you don't look at it. After seeing the items and the corresponding prices, the goblins around the notice board wailed, as if they were masters who had been emptied of their lair by the bandits.

They saw that the eyes of the two Pete brothers were red, and with their green skin, it was a lively red and green drama.

The goblin caravan that leased the airship to the two Pate brothers finally knew what they had lost on this trip, and finally knew why the two brothers broke their boats and hired such a large fleet of airships to fly directly to this barren wasteland in their memory. place.

Pate shouted: "What are you doing, remember that you signed the agreement under the witness of the Chamber of Commerce, and it is absolutely impossible to go back now.

Besides, after this trip, you also know about this place before others, and it's not like there are no opportunities for you to make money.

So, now honestly finish shipping this shipment to me, understand?
Also, you must abide by the camp rules. If anyone breaks the rules and gets caught by the elves here, don't blame me for ignoring you.

This camp is in charge of the elves, the great sage Antony, the great magister. You all be honest with me, and don’t forget that you also have a share in the fact that the elves have been fed a hundred years of high-priced salt.

We two brothers begged for this opportunity. It is your luck to bring you here. Don't do anything that you will regret. "

Pate coaxed and threatened, and the goblins finally calmed down.

"Pate, is the price on this sign real?"

At this point, the two brothers Pate and Ped still rely on the masters of these goblin airships to complete the feat of eating a fat man in one bite, so there is nothing to keep secret.

Pate said: "That's right, this is the price that our two brothers negotiated, as you can see, the elves have already written the price on the name plate.

After this transaction is completed, you can come here ahead of time without the other goblins of the business alliance knowing, and eat a lot of cheap goods here. "

A goblin said: "The big man just now... doesn't seem to be an elf?"

Pete said: "That's right, that's a human from another continent who was rescued by elves, and he brought the technology of making non-toxic sea salt from another continent and the processing methods of those exquisite handicrafts to Cattail City.

The elves don't like dealing with us, so the trade here is up to him, so don't offend him. "

All the goblins nodded quickly. The person who made this price list is simply the god of wealth of their goblins. It's too late to pay for it. Who would be so stupid as to offend him!

Feng Yu led his people and stood on the slope of the wasteland looking at the big green heads of the goblins not far away, and couldn't help but be amused.

These guys are on the go every day, and they all have bald green brains. Presumably, Lao Wang next door to their house must be very busy!

Ilya, the elf assistant appointed by Feng Yu to be in charge of trade, asked: "Teacher, the first time you sold goods at a low price was to attract goblins to trade.

But now our products are obviously known by more goblins, why do you still sell them at such a low price? "

Feng Yu said: "Then why do the dwarves in the Obscure Moon Forest and the Snowtop Mountains choose our salt instead of the goblin salt delivered to your door?"

"Because our table salt is cheap enough. But the price of our table salt has risen again, and it is much cheaper than the purchase price of low-quality goblin salt."

Feng Yu said with a smile: "So we have to jump out of this question and think about our price. Isn't the steam engine in our camp powerful?"

Illya said: "It's amazing. It has liberated a lot of labor and greatly accelerated the production speed of all products."

"That's right, this is the power of industry, high-efficiency, high-volume manufacturing of products, and the relative cost will be reduced to a very low level due to the increase in labor and raw material utilization.

Large quantities of products will definitely require a larger market, and will also make our products widely known.

So you say, will someone be greedy for our profits and try to imitate our products?Surely it will!
You also know that whether it is porcelain or glass, it is not very difficult to manufacture. It is just a layer of paper. If it is pierced, it is worthless.

Therefore, we need to use low prices to dispel the desire of others to imitate, so that the cost of possible private small-scale imitation will not be much higher than the market price, which will to a certain extent restrain others' private interest in our product imitation.

When the goblins come to our camp on a large scale, the selling price of these commodities outside will inevitably drop, otherwise they will not be able to digest such a large-scale cargo.

Another thing is to occupy the market and make a name for yourself.

Our products are cheap and of good quality, and buyers have been using our products, so even if there are products with the same price, they will give priority to choosing the ones they trust and are familiar with.

The most important point is called the balance of trade in the field of economics.

The salt and porcelain made from soil and seawater in our camp have been exchanged for a lot of money.Then people who buy our things will become poorer and poorer because they cannot make money from us.

We now have three main products. In the future, with the development of camp technology, there will be more products for sale.

The products we process with the cheapest things will bring us a steady stream of wealth, and we will use wealth to improve our technological level and manufacturing level.

As for our enemies, they always spend money to buy our things, which will only consume the money in their hands and become more and more dependent on our products.

This kind of change is nothing for a while, but as time goes by, the gap between us and the enemy will become wider and wider under the ebb and flow of each other.

There are two types of trade balance, one is trade surplus and the other is trade deficit.

Our camp is now enjoying a trade surplus, and we are slowly absorbing the wealth of the enemy to develop ourselves.

And our enemies, not to mention the consumption of their own wealth because of buying our products, their similar manufacturing industries will also be hit, and they will gradually lose craftsmen and employees.

The fewer craftsmen, the worse the manufacturing industry, and the more you need external goods. This is another endless cycle. In the end, it will even affect the development of weapons industry technology and hinder the growth of the enemy's force.

This is the horror of the trade deficit. With the loss of wealth and the dumping of large-scale foreign goods, their own power will become weaker and weaker.

Once a trade surplus or trade deficit occurs between two hostile forces, it is a trade war, a competition that will not shed blood but is a hundred times more terrifying than a real war.

But now, between us and humans, through the goblin trade, we have the conditions to start a trade war. "
