Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 148:

Even the superpower who has gone far beyond the limits of human beings and is no longer interested in the country has what he is interested in and must do.

For Leon, building Gals City and building the Church of the Void Mask is what he is interested in and must do.

"Your Majesty, are you interested in reading the policy address?" After talking about the game, he began to talk about business. "At the end of each year, I will sort out the government report of Gals City, record in detail what happened this year, and do Evaluation. Through reviewing the past, I have constantly discovered my lack of governance ability and governance methods, and then corrected them-but in recent years, there have been very few places that can be corrected, probably because my observation skills are insufficient. Right."

Sui Xiong thought for a while, nodded, and got a policy address.

That was the annual report of Gals City last year. From the annual report, the biggest problem Gals encountered this year was that the situation of several business partners was not stable.

There are several trade routes in Gals City, which connect with several important business partners. Last year, the situation of the two important business partners in the south was not very good. For example, Yunta City in the Secret Tower Federation, they originally sold a large amount of crafts and magic materials from Warcraft to Gals in exchange for spices and deep-sea treasures. However, since the end of the previous year, the materials they sold began to decrease. Last year, the materials they sold were only about 70% of the usual amount.

"What about this year?" After reading the report, Sui Xiong asked curiously, "How about the transaction situation in Yunta City this year?"

"It was okay some time ago, and it can almost be maintained at 70%. But after the destruction of Jinta City, it suddenly dropped to 50%, and there also said that it might even be lowered." Leon sighed. "To put it plainly, this trade route is to collect materials from the northwestern region of the Secret Tower Federation with Jinta City as the hub, and then transport them to Yunta City, and then transport them to Gals by sea... The independence of Jinta City has been greatly affected before. After the operation of this commercial road, Jinta City is now completely destroyed. This commercial road has suffered a huge blow, and I don’t know when it will be fully restored."

Sui Xiong was taken aback for a moment and asked: "Golden Tower City? They are all fighting for independence. The Secret Tower Federation actually allows them to operate trade routes?"

"Independence is independence, and business is business." Leon smiled and explained, "It's nothing more than collecting more taxes along the way. Even this is actually difficult to do. After all, Jinta City is not easy to deal with. , There is no strong city along the way... Jinta City caravan changed its route, bypassed those strong cities, and passed through those cities that were not strong enough. Although it was delayed for some time and increased the cost, in general In terms of business, it’s okay."

"So... even if Jinta City is destroyed, the trade route should still be able to operate?" Sui Xiong asked, "This trade route runs from the northwest region of the Secret Tower Federation to Gals City, in the middle. Whether there is Jinta City or not, it will not have much impact."

"The impact is great. Jinta City is the commercial hub of the entire Secret Tower Federation in the northwest region. All kinds of materials are operated and assembled here. Without it, the scheduling and raising of materials will be very difficult." Ang shook his head and said, "However, Yunta City said that it is actively seeking alternatives, and it is estimated that this trade route will be fully restored in one or two years. It's just that... the price may be a little bit more expensive, about a half expensive. Make it to 10%."

"Is there any profit at this price?"

"Of course there is. It's nothing more than our price increase." Leon smiled again, "This is how we do business. We will reduce prices when others reduce prices, and we will increase prices when others increase prices. Maybe the scale of the transaction will decrease. But the profit margin will not decrease much."

"What if the profit margin is slightly reduced to maintain the scale of the transaction?" Sui Xiong asked.

"I have calculated that, in that case, it would be more cost-effective in terms of pure economy. But from a political point of view, it would not be cost-effective. After all, our Gals’s business partner is not only the Yunta City family, if Yunta City can increase the price, so of course others can. If this is done, the loss will be great."

"Why can others do it? They have not suffered any loss!"

"Businessmen don’t care about this kind of reason, they only care about price increases and price drops. The shopping mall is like a battlefield. The reason on the battlefield is not important, but victory is important; and the reason on the market is also not important, but profit is important. We Gals after all It’s doing business, not doing charity. You can’t break the rules just because other people are unlucky.” Leon paused, thought for a moment, and said, “Your Majesty, you are worried about the small businessmen who supply the goods, as well as the interests of hunters and adventurers. Damage? Then I can subsidize from other aspects, such as establishing a protection fund for them... But I can't make concessions in terms of price, that is a big taboo in shopping malls."

Sui Xiong nodded in satisfaction. He knew Leon would be able to understand what he meant.

He doesn't care about the interests of the big business people. Anyway, those people have a wealth of money, and even if the mountains and seas are delicious, they can eat and drink for a few lifetimes. But he was a little worried about the small businessmen and the most basic "suppliers".

Price increases and transactions shrink, which will inevitably damage the interests of suppliers~IndoMTL.com~ Maybe some lower quality goods will be rejected, maybe big businessmen will use this opportunity to get them to sign various kinds of goods. A harsh contract, as for the loss or something to be passed on, is simply an inevitable thing... These things are not uncommon, but can be said to be commonplace. That's why Sui Xiong hopes to protect the interests of the grassroots suppliers as much as possible, and not to let them become the victims of big businessmen passing on losses and smashing bones.

Since Leon has plans in this regard, Sui Xiong won't say much, he believes Leon can do things well.

For these years, Leon has been able to do things well, and this time is no exception.

After talking about this, Sui Xiong asked if anything special happened during this period.

Leon thought for a long time, and then replied: "About this summer, I once felt the power fluctuations in the seabed near Gals, but it was only for a moment-I happened to have something to delay at the time, so I didn't go to investigate. .Because I didn’t feel this kind of fluctuation afterwards, I didn’t pay attention to it anymore."

"Oh? What kind of power is that?"

"It feels a bit like the power of Hemsala of the'Tide of Fury', but it is more proficient and soft than what I felt back then, like a sharp sword turned into a solid iron ball... Feel it."

Sui Xiong is overjoyed. Hemsala chose to sleep on the seabed near Gals to help him protect Gals. Although Leon is already strong now, strong enough to protect Gals, but this love must be accepted.

Listening to Leon’s statement, Hemsala seems to have completely mastered his own power, which is much faster than what he said before, "fast is hundreds of years, slow is two or three hundred years".

So he told Leon, and flew directly out of Gals, towards the seabed where Hemsala was sleeping.
