Two months later, a fleet much larger than the reinforcement fleet previously sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce slowly sailed away from the Xinfei port.
In addition to the large number of reinforcements and materials sent by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, this fleet also has collaborators from a total of 11 countries including the Candela Empire, the Malo Empire, the Kingdom of Lampali, the Kingdom of Luersun, the Principality of Drake, etc. Some supplies.
After the last meeting, only these eleven countries finally decided to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to enter the development of the New World, accounting for less than a quarter of the representative countries participating in the meeting at that time.
This is normal. After all, except for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, no one else knows very much about this new continent that suddenly appeared. Of course, it is impossible to invest heavily in it.
This time, the eleven countries sent only a very simple inspection team, and the materials they sent were only some living materials nominally provided to support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and had no specific significance.
So in fact, the most important part of this much larger fleet comes from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce itself.
Xu Yike is not like those countries who are still hesitant. Through the continuous exploration of the front exploration team over the past year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has already gained a certain understanding of the situation on the Demon Cloud Continent. Xu Yi has long since determined the plan to develop the new continent. plan.
This time the reinforcement fleet not only included a large number of personnel and materials, but also dispatched a total of three thousand New Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts, as well as two large cargo magic ships full of military magic machinery. In order to be able to successfully build a front-line base.
Of course, if you want to truly take root in the New World, this base still needs to undertake a heavy task.
Because the two continents are separated by a long distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, it takes nearly a month for the fleet to travel. Therefore, the base on the Moyun Continent cannot completely rely on supplies transported from the Sainz Continent. You must try your best to be self-sufficient.
Therefore, according to Xu Yi's plan, a complete small industrial base must be established in this base to meet various needs in the base.
Among them, the most basic needs are living supplies and some military magic machinery.
And want to meet these two needs. This means that the base must obtain sufficient resources from the Moyun Continent.
Of course, these resources cannot fall out of thin air.
According to the agreement reached between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Sansas Elf Tribe and the Carrom Dwarf Tribe, these two tribes will help the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce obtain some resources in the early stage to meet the early needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce base.
However, the strength of these two tribes is limited, and it is impossible to meet the increasingly powerful requirements of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
So it comes down to it. It still needs to be obtained by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself.
However, if you want to obtain resources, you will inevitably face various expected and unexpected dangers that will come on the Demon Cloud Continent, which requires sufficient military support. To put it simply, you need enough escorts. and military magic machinery.
And this is also impossible to rely entirely on the support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce headquarters on the Sainz continent. You still need to solve it yourself.
So to put it bluntly, it is extremely difficult to establish a complete branch base tens of thousands of kilometers away from the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and Xu Yi cannot be 100% optimistic about this.
But he had to do this, because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wanted to obtain enough development space, and this brand-new continent was a more suitable place than the continent of Binance.
The deepest reason is that Sainz Continent is already a continent with a basically fixed shape, and all the land and resources have long been carved up by other countries.
It will be extremely difficult for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to get involved—especially in this time period when the magic industry is becoming more and more developed and all countries are paying more and more attention to related resources.
One month after the departure of the reinforcement fleet. Including the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, a total of 46 chambers of commerce on the Sainz continent that mainly deal in mineral resources announced that they have jointly established a joint mineral resources conference to integrate and cooperate on all mineral resources under their names and unify operating standards.
This is the first time an organization of this nature has appeared on the Sainz continent, so when this organization called the Chino Mineral Resources United Organization Agreement Conference, or the Chino Federation for short, was first announced, many people did not understand what they were. What to do.
However, several things happened in the next half month, which told others the answer to this question.
The Chino Federation first announced that they would integrate the iron ore resources managed by their chamber of commerce. In order to ensure the stability and controllability of mineral resources, the mineral prices of all chambers of commerce under the Chino Federation will be unified.
After research, the Chino Federation officially announced the preliminary price.
Then everyone discovered that compared with the previous prices of various mineral resources. All the prices set by the Chino Federation have increased, and the iron ore with the highest demand has increased by a full 15%!
The demand for magic crystal is also huge, but because the price has always been very low, the price of magic crystal has also increased by a full ten percent, officially exceeding one gold coin per ton.
This price increase. Of course, those who are most affected are the various magic machinery chambers of commerce, headed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which have the greatest demand for these mineral resources.
Although it seems to be only an increase of more than ten percent, it has actually significantly increased the manufacturing costs of these Magic Machinery Chambers, directly weakening their profits.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's profit margin has always been very high, which is not fatal to them, but for those small chambers of commerce, it has further weakened their already low profits, and has even directly affected the survival of many small chambers of commerce. .
In order to continue to maintain low costs, many small chambers of commerce began to purchase mineral resources from mineral resources chambers of commerce outside the Chino Federation.
However, these chambers of commerce under the name of the Chino Federation control almost all mineral resources in most countries in the southern and central parts of the Sainz continent, including the Candela Empire. Most of these other small-scale magic machinery chambers of commerce are concentrated in Sainz. Enns continent competes with a country in the southeast, making it difficult for them to obtain sufficient mineral resources through other channels.
Therefore, the establishment of the Chino Federation almost announced the death of many small-scale magic machinery chambers of commerce.
Xu Yi was very unhappy about this.
In February of the 3781st year of the continental calendar, three months after the Chino Federation announced its establishment and announced new mineral resource prices, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced that out of its own needs, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would An additional chamber of commerce was established, called the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce.
As the name suggests, the main business of this Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce is all kinds of mineral resources.
In the news released by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stated that the purpose of establishing this chamber of commerce is mainly because as the scale of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gradually expands, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has an increasing demand for various mineral resources. It was not suitable to purchase various minerals through other channels, so I decided to solve this problem on my own.
But anyone who is not a fool can see that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce established the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce directly for the Chino Federation.
Prior to this, although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also had some mineral resources in its own name, most of the mineral resources were actually purchased directly from other mineral chambers of commerce.
In the early days, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mainly purchased from the Falcao Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Lampali.
Later, as the scale of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce expanded, the demand for mineral resources increased. Coupled with the substantial development of the magic industry in the Kingdom of Lampali, the internal demand for various mineral resources also increased significantly, so the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce began to turn to Obtained from other sources.
The most important of these channels are actually from the various chambers of commerce currently under the Chino Federation.
Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has suddenly announced the establishment of the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce, making it clear that it will fight against the Chino Federation, doesn't it mean that the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the various chambers of commerce under the name of the Chino Federation has broken down
However, the Chino Federation controls almost all the mineral resources in the southern and central parts of the continent. If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not cooperate with them, where will it get enough mineral resources
In mid-February, the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce officially announced its establishment. At the same time, it announced the 17 mines it currently has under its control and are already in mining status. It said that the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce now has sufficient mineral resources to provide and welcomes orders from the outside world.
As soon as this news was announced, the outside world was in an uproar.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been trying to control some mineral resources on its own. Many people know this, but it is really surprising that it controls so much.
What is even more surprising are the prices of various mineral resources announced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Take iron ore as an example. The price announced by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is seven gold coins and forty silver coins per ton. This price is basically the same as the iron ore price of many previous chambers of commerce. It is also the price at which Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always purchased iron ore from other chambers of commerce.
But if compared with the iron ore announced by the Chino Federation, this price is nearly 20% lower!
If people thought that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce established the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce to go against the Chino Federation, it was still speculation in everyone's minds.
So now that the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce has announced such mineral prices, it is completely tantamount to telling everyone that I want to go against the Chino Federation!
Everyone was surprised.
Why does Xinfei Chamber of Commerce do this
If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the most powerful chamber of commerce in the magic industry, no one would have any doubts about this.
However, in the mining industry, where does Xinfei Chamber of Commerce get its confidence
You must know that the Chino Federation represents not only the forty-six mineral resources chambers of commerce, including the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, but behind them, they are inseparable from a large number of countries, including the Candela Empire. (~^~)
