From Impel Down to the Multiverse

Sea Calendar 1500, March 27th.

The total population of the Tianyun Federation has risen to 18,200, with about 15,000 in the capital, and about 3,100 in Wanxia Island.

In addition, the more than 3,000 Skypiean of Birka are also under the control of Tianyun Federation. At present, the number of Skypiean employees from Birka next door in Wanxia Town has reached more than 800.

Birka's economy was indirectly controlled by Tianyun Trading Company in what seemed to be a boom.

On the main street of Birka, the local residents here found that the hunting and fishing and small farming models were gradually being separated by the employees of the trading company, and they were gradually changing.

At this time, the Karoo family was in entanglement. Several neighbors had family members working in Tianyun Trading Company, so their living standards were quickly improved under the cheap goods.

And Kalu is a person who is hostile to the Sky Cloud Federation, in fact, he is hostile to all the blue sea people who come from the sea.

It is precisely because of this hostile attitude that he does not allow Xu Family members to participate in the recruitment of Tianyun Trading Company. Now he can only rely on hunting and fishing, and planting some Skypiea-specific crops to maintain the family’s needs. .

It’s just this way of life, which may have worked in the past. After all, the previous Birka was a closed economic circle.

But this time is different, because the cheap products of Tianyun Trading Company are skewed in Birka, which makes Karoo unable to obtain other living materials through the sale of prey and agricultural products.

After all, a small family alone is impossible to produce all the daily necessities, such as food, salt and sugar, clothes, medicine, utensils, daily chemicals, etc., which must be exchanged to meet daily needs.

Especially medicine, salt and sugar, and daily chemicals are very treasured products on Skypiea. Many of them are washed up by rising ocean currents or transported from the West Heaven route.

The former depends on luck, and the latter is also sparsely transported. Moreover, Birka is not a prosperous Angel Island, and it usually takes several years for the merchant ship to come over.

Under the impact of cheap products from Tianyun Trading Company, the original economic model of Birka is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

The sharp drop in commodity prices will have a serious impact on fishermen, hunters, farmers and handicrafts before Birka.

The empty fish caught by Karoo are placed on the street and no one cares at all, because he does not charge gold dollars, only Skypiea's Ike (Skypiea currency, 1 gold dollar is about 10,000 Ike ).

Yike is in a state of being secretly suppressed in the daily trade of Tianyun Trading Company.

For example, if you use gold dollars to buy products from a trading company, it seems that the price of the two is the same. In fact, if you use gold dollars plus employee status, you can get a 30% discount.

The salary paid by the trading company to its employees is directly paid to the bank Curly. Although according to regulations, non-employees who purchase the products of the trading company cannot enjoy a 30% discount.

In actual operation, the business community defaults to Skypiean holding employee bank cards and can enjoy employee discounts.

At the same time, Tianyun Bank also introduced the so-called "family card", that is, the employee's employee bank card can be used as the main card, which can be bundled with 5 secondary cards. These secondary cards are the so-called family cards.

Family cards can also enjoy employee discounts.

Be aware that among Birka Skypiean, there are more than 800 people working in Tianyun Trading Company. Together with their immediate family members, they basically account for the vast majority of Birka Skypiean.

As a result, Ike, the local currency, will become extremely embarrassing, and I feel too disadvantaged to use it, and it is impossible to buy goods without using it.

Especially for die-hards like Karoo, their savings will be used less and less, because there is no return of income, and they will eventually fall into a crisis of bankruptcy.

Of course, there is no need to worry about starving to death. After all, you can hunt and fish. With some wild Skypiea shellfish, you can barely survive.

Just without comparison, there is no harm.

Seeing that the neighbourhoods are living a good life, and my family is still in a state of devour raw meat and fowl, then this feeling is not acceptable to ordinary people.

"Karu!"

A voice awakened Karu who was sitting idly. He looked up and found that it was his cousin Curly: "Curly big brother, do you want to buy fish?" "

Some old-fashioned Curly, looking at his cousin Karoo, shook the head and said: "Karou, I am going to open a restaurant, do you want to come and help me?"

"Restaurant?" Karoo was puzzled.

Curly explained: "There are many blue sea people in Wanxia Town. Together with the residents of Birka, I think this is a business opportunity. You have done a good job of grilling fish and barbecue. You must have money to open a restaurant. Earn."

In fact, Curly also wants to help his cousin. His own two sons work in Tianyun Trading Company and have a monthly salary surplus.

When I was young, I went to several nearby Skypiea, including Angel Island, and Angel Island to the west-east direction.

There is not only one West Sky route, but as many as seven. These routes have a unified starting point-West Blue's Giant Kingdom.

In the giant kingdom of West Blue, there is a tree that can reach the sky-Treasure Wood Adam. This Adam tree is the starting point of the West Blue route.

When he was young, Curly, together with a few partners, set off from Birka, passed Angel Island, and then ventured to the west-east direction of the west sky route.

He knew some of the blue sea people and saw the potential of the Sky Cloud Federation. Only by relying on the large-scale artificial island clouds and the transport of rocky soil to Skypiea, he knew that the other party was not simple.

Therefore, Curly has a hunch that the Sky Cloud Federation will become the overlord of the sky. According to his eldest son who is a sailor in the transport airship, the capital of the Sky Cloud Federation is very far away from Birka and Angel Island. close.

Once the Skypiea unifies the Skypiea, the cloud boundary will be the core area, and the economy will definitely become better. Now that we are seizing the opportunity to seize the opportunity, we will definitely regret it in the future.

Curly, who has a clear idea, plans to build a Skypiea restaurant with Birka characteristics.

The choice to open a restaurant is actually another judgment of Curly.

He saw that with the increase in the number of workers and the airport on Sunset Island in the future, tourists and businessmen from other places will be brought in. These people need food and accommodation, and restaurants and hotels must have business.

Curly, who has met all over the world, immediately took out all his savings and called out friends to prepare for a big fight.

And Karu, a guy with a bad head, finally succumbed to reality and planned to join Curly's restaurant.

Karu tried hard to convince himself that this was working for his cousin, not for the Tianyun people, and that he was still a firm Skypiean.

A few days later, near the port area of ​​Wanxia Island, Curly borrowed 1 million yuan from Tianyun Bank to purchase a piece of land.

Then began the construction of the new Birka restaurant and the new Birka hotel.

At the Mamen in the Sky Ladder City of Yunjing, upon receiving this news, a smile appeared. Obviously, the economic penetration strategy of the Tianyun Federation has begun to have an effect in Birka.

After reporting to Wang Gao about Birka, Wang Gao immediately decided to march on Angel Island.

On the same day, Mamen again took a fleet of airships, set sail from the cloud, and flew towards Birka in the Southwest direction.

When the fleet passed by the sunset-Birka, it brought another 100 new recruits from the sunset island, ready to take them to see the world.

Enel, who is mixed in new recruits, stands out from the crowd of new recruits by virtue of the training methods left by his parents.

At this time, Enel sitting in the airship cabin, looking at the boundless sea of ​​clouds outside the window, and the empty beast that rolls by from time to time, there is a kind of excitement and excitement in his heart.
