Chapter 418.2
Resource Alliance (2)
Dai Zhixin sat down confidently. She believed that such a smart person as Xin Ruxiong would never refuse this huge temptation. As long as the Jiuyou Sacred Land is brought on board, then the establishment and development of this resource alliance will be stable.
Of course, Feng Shao and the others also think so.
What followed was a series of nonsensical polite remarks. If it is placed in Feng Shao’s previous world, it is estimated that a draft can be issued after the meeting. The content of the draft is roughly as follows:n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
This morning, city lord Feng Shao and officials of the city hall met Holy Lord Xin Ruxiong and his group who came from afar in the City Lord Mansion.
The two sides exchanged views on the development of mutual benefit and reached a preliminary intention on the cooperation of the resource alliance.
Both parties believe that the future of Dongzhou will be a win-win Dongzhou, and the cooperation between the two parties will definitely create a better environment for the overall development of Dongzhou…
In fact, no one knew if Dai Zhixin had some bad intentions, but she actually wrote such a draft afterward and posted it on the bulletin board in front of the city hall.
The matter soon caused an uproar.
Just as Xin Ruxiong expected, the commercial cooperation between the Jiuyou Sacred Land and Wuling City surprised countless people, and at the same time, it also improved Jiuyou Sacred Land’s deeply rooted domineering image in people’s minds.Reminiscent of Xin Ruxiong’s efforts to restore the reputation of Jiuyou Sacred Land in recent years, some people are finally willing to believe that Jiuyou Sacred Land has really reformed…
Of course, many more people are on the sidelines.
A certain head of state in Feng Shao’s previous world launched a world war, that lasted for six years, destroyed countless countries, and displaced hundreds of millions of people. After the war, it took the country decades of hard work to restore its image.
And what Chi Xuan did back then was even worse than that, so it’s not surprising that Jiuyou Sacred Land might even need hundreds of years to restore its image.
In addition, what people are more concerned about is another term that makes them feel novel, that is, the words “resource alliance.”
It’s not the first time they have seen the new term “resource alliance,” but at that time they didn’t know what the resource alliance did.
But at this time, seeing that the Jiuyou Land has even abandoned the grievances of five years ago in order to join the resource alliance, many people subconsciously feel that this resource alliance is very likely to be a great thing.
Right now, many forces have activated the branches they established in Wuling City and started to collect information everywhere. In this regard, Wuling City did not hide much, so they easily obtained the information they wanted to know.
After learning of Wuling City’s true intention to create a resource alliance, many forces were moved.
But there are also many forces wary of the threat it will bring.
No matter in which age, resources are extremely important.
Even though the world has developed for tens of thousands of years, the development of business is still at an extremely backward stage.
The acquisition and sale of resources are often one-way.
Although there is no middleman to make the difference, this form of transaction is easily affected by various parties.
Sometimes even just because two of the children of the two parties fell in love and later separated, the relationship between the two parties was no longer compatible, and the transaction fell through. 𝔯�
Don’t think this kind of thing is outrageous. In fact, not only in Dongzhou, but also in the entire Upper Domain, similar things happen almost every year.
But with a resource alliance, the situation becomes different. They can directly obtain resources from the resource alliance, or directly sell resources to the resource alliance. It not only saves a lot of energy, but also avoids various human conflicts. It is indeed a superior choice.
However, some large forces don’t think so. They take a long-term view and see things more thoroughly. They just thought about it a little bit deeper, and they realized the horror of the resource alliance.
In the final analysis, the main source of making money for the resource alliance lies in poor information.
The premise of establishing an information gap is information monopoly.
The establishment of the Resource Alliance in the early stages may be a thankless logistics process (called “Escort Bureau”), but if it is successfully established and includes most of the resource output of Dongzhou and even the Upper Domain, then if one wanted to buy resources again, they can only find the Resource Alliance.
At that time, they can only let the Resource Alliance get what they want from them.
At this time, someone may ask, Can’t I just choose to not sell resources to the Resource Alliance? Can’t I just find a sales channel myself? In this way, there is no middleman to make a profit from the difference!
People who ask this kind of question are obviously too naive.
There can never be only one type of resource needed by each force, nor can there be only a few types, but as many as dozens or even hundreds of types.
They don’t need to and aren’t obligated to sell resources to the Resource Alliance, but the Resource Alliance also doesn’t need to nor are they obligated to sell resources to them.
What the Resource Alliance lacks is only one resource, but what they lack are hundreds or thousands of optional resources! In this way, who suffers more?
Putting this matter into the present terms, it is called “resource hegemony.” And Wuling City is obviously establishing this kind of resource hegemony, and it has even managed to bring the Jiuyou Sacred Land to it.
This made many people shudder, and at the same time made them a little wary of Wuling City.
Many of them realized that perhaps, Feng Shao’s true ambition is much bigger than they imagined…
