Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 303 Noble Privileges
The mansion of Li Ye's family is located in Dongcheng District, across the river from Jin'an villa area.

Xia Feng took out his phone in the car.

"Hey, Brother Lei, come out and accompany me to Liye's house."

Now that he replaced Rich, whether it was the casino or the East District, he regarded them as insignificant small businesses. What he really wanted was light manganese ore for the city he exchanged for the four big box-origin stone clusters.

Light manganese ore is a scarce material all over the world. Some small countries even have no light manganese mining areas at all, and all the demand must be imported from abroad. This leads to the fact that light manganese ore not only has industrial value, but also has a certain degree of strategic value. .

About the light manganese mining area controlled by the Liye family, Xia Feng has done a full understanding. Light manganese ore is not manganese. It is an element that he did not have in his original world. , he doesn't know the details, he only knows that this thing is very expensive.

The value of light manganese ore on the market is between 3 and 4 tera coins per ton. This is retail sales. The value of smuggling will vary according to the country, but it is basically lower than this price.

For such a rare thing, at first he thought that the mining area managed by the Liye family was as big as a small private coal mine, and it could produce tens of thousands of tons a year. However, the last time Frido visited Harpi City in person, In the first gathering, he heard a number that shocked him.

The annual output of the Liye family's light manganese mining area can reach up to 60 tons.

In fact, this output is not too amazing, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory, but for Xia Feng, he has never seen so much money in his life.

If it is calculated at 3 per ton, it will be 180 billion a year.

Of course, this mining area does not belong to the Liye family. Everything in Victoria belongs to the royal family. According to the needs of the country, the royal family will issue production targets every year. 80% of the light manganese ore produced must be handed over, and the Liye family can get it. Yes, just a calf.

But this is not a mosquito leg, but an elephant leg. Even if more than 60 tons of 50 tons of light manganese ore were confiscated, the amount that Tang De privately swallowed is still huge.

The Liye family sells tens of thousands of tons of light manganese ore to the Frido Chamber of Commerce every year at a price that is not too low. Frido contracted the entire process from transportation to overseas sales, except for the intermediate shipping that requires the support of the Haimen Gang. .

Calculated on average based on the final selling price, the Liye family can get nearly 5% of the total profit, the Frido Chamber of Commerce can get 4%, and the Haimen Gang can get up to 1%.

Of course, this needs to be deducted from the cost. The mines and factories of the Liye family need a lot of consumption and technical supplements. It's an accident, besides these big forces, there are also countless small gangs and official personnel who will participate, and they all want to share dividends.

It's just that the Frido Chamber of Commerce can also get a hidden benefit in addition to this, that is, he is in charge of the sales channel internationally. Of course, this range is not too far away, and it is generally limited to the western region of Terra.

This is the general appearance of the light manganese ore smuggling industry chain. Xia Feng has no way of knowing many details of it. At the same time, he doesn't want to know. He doesn't care about how these things are transported. What can he get.

At present, although he has become the spokesperson of Harpi City, replaced Rich in the light manganese ore business, and has full control over the operation from the starting station, in fact, what he can get himself is really mosquito legs, to put it bluntly , he is also Frido's wage earner.

Of course, it is impossible to work part-time, and it is impossible to work part-time in this life.

The purpose of his coming to the Liye family tonight is to challenge the bottom line of the old fellow Tang De before the serf turns himself into the master.

After being picked up in the car, Reddy said to Xia Feng in a serious manner.

"Xia Feng, Tang De is not a simple person. The current structure of the light manganese mine business is jointly determined by the big bosses involved in all parties. You'd better not have any strange ideas. You just took over Harpi City, so you should first stabilize it. For the Lord, just a simple greeting and a hello will do.”

This guy Reddy is really smart, he has basically figured out Xia Feng's character, this kind of character is a so-called reckless character, he is really afraid that Xia Feng will come up with some fancy things again.

Xia Feng leaned on his seat and smiled indifferently.

"Brother Lei, you don't have to worry about it. I have my own measure. You just need to contact me."

Hongdao sat near the window, and a cold voice came from his mouth.

"Xia Feng, if you want to kill someone in a while, you just need to signal me with your eyes."

Reddy next to him was taken aback by these words.

"this this"

Xia Feng quickly explained to Hongdao.

"We don't kill people tonight. We are all business partners. There may be differences, but at most it's just a quarrel and an unhappy breakup."

This is the truth, no matter what happens, it is absolutely impossible for him to do anything to the Liye family.

Because with the accumulation of time, he has discovered more and more that in the country of Victoria, the meaning of nobility is deeper than he imagined before, especially the nobility who are members of the Yuan Council.

The birth of every nobleman has something to do with the kings of the past dynasties. They either made military exploits or made great contributions to the country, and some even saved the life of a certain king. A distant relative of the royal family.

In the country of Victoria, this is a two-flowered dual state government. On the basis of having a sound constitution, aristocratic rule is also an indispensable thing for the royal family.

If Victoria is compared to a family, then the royal family is the head of the family. It is more like a cooperative relationship than a relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Nobles have many privileges. Using these privileges, they can also create a lot of benefits for the country. The most important point is that nobles are worthy of the trust of the royal family. The royal family need not worry about their loyalty.

Affected by natural disasters intermittently, in this environment where information exchange is very closed, it is very difficult to efficiently control a country, so the great nobles in each place are a bit like agents of the royal family, using their privileges to Assist and oversee the development of the country.

If they find some signs of something wrong, or some unreasonable developments, the nobles have the right to skip the political and legal system and directly report the situation to the royal family, and they can even jointly hold a meeting of the Yuan Assembly Hall.

Therefore, Xia Feng must not take action against Tang De. Although the Liye family is not a big noble, if the noble appointed by the royal family to be in charge of the southern light manganese mine is murdered, the impact will be very bad. Hundreds of thousands in the southern military region The army will turn Happy City upside down and find out the truth of the matter.

Noble crimes will be personally investigated by the royal family. If the evidence is convincing, the royal family will impose punishment. Otherwise, no one can interfere. If the local nobles are killed by outsiders, it is basically equivalent to a rebellion.
