Lord of All People: My Undead Skeletons Billions

Chapter 214: One hundred million energy points! The decision to reduce the price of metals!

In the group chat, there were many lords @秦洛, asking him to come out and express his stance and handle the matter.

Some even think that he is omnipotent and will definitely be able to turn the tide, successfully solve the problem, and continue to maintain high metal prices.

Of course, there are also some people who accuse Qin Luo of doing nothing as the group leader and allowing the situation to deteriorate, which led to the current situation.

Looking at the messages in the group, Qin Luo gave a bitter smile.

If there were no "traitors" in the Resource Merchant Alliance, or if these "traitors" had not left, instead of attacking them with words, and instead uniting and winning them over, there might still be a chance.

After all, the most important thing to monopolize metal resources and maintain a high-price market is to control the supply of goods and keep all merchant lords in the same opinion. Everyone has the same interests and prospers together and suffers together.

However, the Anti-Monopoly Alliance secretly wooed and betrayed a group of merchant lords, which directly undermined the internal stability of the Resource Merchant Alliance and led to a crisis of trust.

In addition, after those "traitor" merchant lords left, they sold off the metal resources in their hands without any regard, which greatly affected the market price of metal resources.

The most terrifying thing is that it directly leads to the inability to sell those high-priced metals. Once the customer lords see hope, it is even less likely that they will spend a high price to buy hematite.

Seeing this, more and more merchant lords began to panic as they found that their goods could not be sold, and they also began to lower their prices.

It can be said that the Anti-Monopoly Alliance's series of combined punches really left the Resource Alliance powerless to fight back.

Moreover, when Qin Luo found out, it was already too late!
There is nothing we can do about it. After all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Faced with the offensive of the Anti-Monopoly Alliance, the Resource Alliance can only passively defend itself.

For Qin Luo, metal resources are indeed an important channel for him to obtain energy points, but it is not the only one.

Furthermore, he had already prepared himself mentally for the decline in metal resource prices, so although Qin Luo was a little surprised, it was also within his expectations.

"Given the current situation, the downward trend cannot be reversed!"

"The only thing we can do now is to prevent a sharp drop in prices and try to stabilize metal prices!"

Although Qin Luo didn't want to take over this mess, he couldn't just sit back and watch the metal prices plummet.

Because he still has millions of units of metal resources in his hands!
If metal prices were cut in half, that would be equivalent to cutting your profits in half!

If no intervention is made, the consequences will be more than just a matter of cutting the company in half.

After sorting out his thoughts, Qin Luo used the group owner's authority to mute everyone.

[I have basically understood the fluctuations in the market prices of metal resources, but the result of the development of the situation is something I never expected! ]

[However, since the incident has already happened, what we need to do is not to blame anyone or hold anyone responsible. Instead, we need to consider how to minimize our own losses! ]

[The current downward trend in metal prices is difficult to change. In addition to objective reasons, there are also some external factors. After all, with the continuous increase in metal price supply, the market is basically satisfied, so it is very difficult to continue to keep the market price high! ]

[But if we leave it alone and allow merchants to set prices freely, the metal prices will definitely plummet. I believe that this is a situation that no one wants to see, whether it is you who are present, or those merchant lords who have left the group or have not joined the group! ]

[No matter what, even if everyone has their own standpoints, and it is difficult to tell right from wrong, we should not dwell on this aspect all the time. But one thing is certain, as merchant lords, our interests are definitely closely linked, and the plunge in metal prices will definitely harm the interests of everyone! ]

[In order to prevent the metal price from plummeting, I have a suggestion, which is to stop maintaining high metal prices and gradually reduce prices to allow prices to land steadily. Although it is a price reduction, the price still needs to be consistent for everyone, so we still need to work together to maintain the market price and protect our own interests. This is also the most beneficial method for us at present! ]

Qin Luo comforted the members of the group for a while, and at the same time did not hold those traitorous merchants accountable. Instead, he persuaded everyone to let go of their grudges, put aside the past, unite, and stand on the same front again.

There are problems within the Resource Alliance and huge disagreements among them. This is definitely what the Anti-Monopoly Alliance wants to see most!

[Then I will continue to talk about my idea. Starting from today, we will reduce the price of hematite from the original 10 energy points per unit to 8 energy points per unit! I hope everyone can keep the same price and stop selling at a lower price than their peers, otherwise it will eventually affect their own interests! ]

[After that, the price of hematite will be lowered by one energy point every day. When the price reaches five energy points per unit, the price will be completely released and the price will be determined by the market! ]

[At this point, the mission of the Resource Alliance has been completed! ]

[Finally, regarding the setting of metal prices, I hope everyone can abide by it. At the same time, pass the message to other merchant lords who are not in the group, as well as those lords who have left the group.]

After Qin Luo finished speaking, he lifted the ban!

This is also the most ideal solution at present!

This is the general trend and it is difficult to change.

You know, before Qin Luo established the Resource Merchant Alliance, the price of hematite was five energy points per unit, which was already a very high price at the time.

If things develop normally, the price of hematite will become lower and lower.

It was only because Qin Luo established the Resource Merchant Alliance, attracted a large number of merchant lords, monopolized the market price, and raised the price of red iron to a sky-high price of ten energy points.

In these few short days, not only Qin Luo himself, but also other business lords all made huge profits.

As the saying goes, too much is as bad as too little. If you do things too much, there will be a backlash in the end!
But in order to stabilize the price, Qin Luo also made a final effort.

As for whether things would develop as he expected, he himself had no confidence at all.

"Do your best and obey fate!"

Qin Luo sighed lightly.

If everyone can still listen to him as the group leader, then there won't be any big problems.

Even those "traitor" lords would not give up huge profits for a fight of pride.

[Is it really irreversible? If I reduce the price now, I will lose 20% of my energy points! ]

[Yes, I lost so much profit all of a sudden, it hurts just thinking about it! ]

[Alas, there is nothing we can do about this! ]

[Is there really no other way? @秦洛131415]

[Boss Qin Luo has done his best. He even chose to forgive those traitors. If it were me, I would definitely not let them go! ]

[The collective price reduction, although the profit is a little less than before, but at least everyone can still make money, right? If there is no unified standard, everyone will mark the price randomly, and I am afraid that yesterday it would have dropped to one unit of hematite. Do you believe it?]

[I understand the logic, but why do you have to keep lowering the price if you lower it to 8 energy points? ]

[You don't understand this, don't you notice that there are more and more lords selling metal resources? In fact, the supply and demand relationship in the market has stabilized, and it is no longer in short supply. The proactive price reduction is to avoid risks in advance and prevent market trampling! ]

[Yes, anyway, before, hematite was five points of energy per unit, it just returned to the starting point! ]

[Is it only hematite that is priced? What about other metal resources?] [Since Boss Qin Luo didn't mention it, he probably won't set a specific price for us. Anyway, the price of hematite is there, it's a standard. It's impossible to sell bronze and mithril at a price lower than hematite!]

[In fact, if you want to know the price of other metals, it’s very simple. Just go to Qin Luo’s shop and take a look. Don’t you know? ]

[That's true! ]

【.】

The Resource Alliance group chat was very lively. Although there were some dissenting voices regarding Qin Luo's suggestions, everyone generally accepted them.

After a series of disturbances, many merchant lords, like Qin Luo, were actually mentally prepared for the drop in metal prices.

That’s why I was able to accept it so quickly.

As for the matter of punishing those "traitor" lords, few lords mentioned it again.

On the one hand, it was Qin Luo's words that made everyone let go of their grudges.

The second is that even if one wants to punish those "traitor" lords, there is no way to impose any substantial punishment other than verbal criticism.

Besides, everyone was just venting their emotions with words. If a real fight broke out, few lords would respond.

Qin Luo closed the group chat, logged into the forum, and posted a post in the name of himself and the Resources Business Alliance titled "Apology Statement from the Resources Business Alliance and Me, and the Pricing Decision on Metals."

In the beginning of the post, Qin Luo first made a sincere apology to all the lords on behalf of all the lords of the Resource Merchant Alliance, hoping to gain their forgiveness. The middle part was basically what Qin Luo said in the group.

Finally, Qin Luo mentioned that by the tenth day (calculated from the time when the lord descends), the price of hematite will return to five energy points per unit. After that, the Resource Merchant Alliance will give up strict control over metal prices, and the price of metals will be determined by market supply and demand!

Qin Luo also polished this post.

In fact, the main purpose is to apologize, admit mistakes and actively lower prices, so as to win the favor of some lords.

After all, Qin Luo's previous behavior of manipulating metal prices has been blacklisted by many lords.

His reputation seems to be very great and almost everyone knows him, but it is all a bad reputation.

Now that I have earned enough energy points, and the metal resources industry cannot continue to make huge profits, I might as well show my goodwill to the lords and earn a good reputation.

Anyway, the apology statement does not cause any loss to Qin Luo!
As for the so-called face, I don’t care about it at all!
Regardless of whether others would change their views on Qin Luo, Qin Luo's behavior did make many lords feel better and satisfied their vanity.

Look, Qin Luo, the leader of the Resource Merchant Alliance, was so arrogant before. Even when he was cursed by countless people, he didn't even apologize, let alone make any response!
Now, isn't it that they can't stand our pressure and have given in?!
In this regard, Qin Luo's post was indeed a sign of submission and surrender. Many lords who originally "hated" Qin Luo also "forgave" him.

Originally, they didn't have any major grudges with Qin Luo.

Just like Qin Luo, when dealing with those "traitor" lords, he can only make some verbal accusations at most. If the other party is willing to cooperate with Qin Luo's price reduction approach, then what reason is there not to forgive them?

This is also what Qin Luo hopes to see. Now the Resource Merchant Alliance is basically in a state of internal division and disintegration. It is impossible for Qin Luo to continue to be the enemy of all the lords of the Resource Merchant Alliance for the sake of this merchant alliance!
After all, being a good person is not easy.

However, when he, who was originally an evil person, took the initiative to put down his butcher knife and became a good person, he would naturally be admired and recognized by many people.

Afterwards, Qin Luo modified the price of metal resources.

There are 73 units of hematite remaining, eight points of energy per unit!

58 units of bronze, sixteen points of energy per unit!

10 units of Mithril, points of energy per unit!

10 units of refined gold, points of energy per unit!

Except for hematite, the prices of the other three types of metal resources have dropped to varying degrees, and some of the price reductions are not lower than that of hematite.

To some extent, this is also a sincere expression of Qin Luo's "sincere repentance"!

After doing all this, Qin Luo felt relieved.

Especially when I see the energy points, my mood instantly becomes much better.

Gained 7000 million energy points by selling equipment!

After selling a wave of metal resources, we obtained 3800 million energy points!

Adding the two together, Qin Luo's energy points at this time directly broke through a small goal!

One hundred and eighty million energy points!
It's so terrifying!
"If all of these are used to summon skeleton soldiers, we can recruit 40 million!"

"I guess it will fill up the entire territory and even the underground world!"

Qin Luo couldn't help but exclaimed.

Of course, the idea of ​​recruiting skeleton soldiers is just a thought.

It is impossible for Qin Luo to use all his energy to recruit ordinary skeleton soldiers. He is not crazy yet.

What's more, even if we could recruit tens of millions of skeleton soldiers, we wouldn't be able to afford to support them!

With Qin Luo's current territory and occupied land, a million undead armies are more than enough, and any more would become a burden.

Of course, if a new round of expansion is to be carried out, new undead will need to be recruited.

But now, there is really no need for that.

"Keep these energy points for future use!"

"Metal prices are falling, and it will be almost impossible to earn energy points like crazy in the future!"

"Moreover, we will need to invest a lot of resources to build the territory on a large scale in the next few days. Even the metal resources mined from the underground world will probably be used for the construction of the city!"

Qin Luo was still very cautious about the use of the 100 million energy points and did not spend them lavishly.

After all, for him, the energy points of this small goal are the wealth accumulated by the goblins over decades.

It’s not easy to come across such a big fat sheep!
So it is even more impossible to spend it all at once.

Moreover, the energy points will not be lost and can give Qin Luo a great sense of security.
