Resurrection Empire Chapter 580

Now the Marquis Mansion of Zhenjiang and the Earl of Chifeng are separated by a strip of water and are as close as a family.

Although Marvel Louie had doubts about the sudden request of Gao's descendants, he would not set a card for the Earl of Chifeng's mansion.

However, the two families are close to each other, but the brothers still have to settle accounts. Marvell himself is old and does not know when he will die.

Now that he has responded to the heavy-duty proposal, he is ready for battle, and the expenses in the Marquis House are also increasing.

Marvel also had to leave more capital for his younger brother Bourbon, lest one day he passed away, and when Bourbon took over, there was only an empty shell left.

Therefore, the two parties conducted rigorous negotiations at the negotiating table on the price of this junk star, who will bear the transportation cost, and the expenses of occupying the waterway during transportation.

After the negotiation between the two parties and the final implementation of the contract terms were presented to Marvel, he was even more puzzled, frowned and said to his brother Bourbon next to him: "It's not right. Everyone knows that this non-renewable metal is completely The waste products of the Yuanjiang Branch have also been publicly discussed in the material department of the Yuanjiang Branch, and the technology has already reached the bottleneck, and they cannot make an inch. They are willing to make an offer according to one-tenth of the new mineral. Also, the transportation cost will be borne by the Earl of Chifeng. It's the right thing to do, but the occupation of the waterway can be offset by the cleaning fee for clearing the junk star field. The treatment they gave is too generous."

Bourbon was also puzzled: "I asked the negotiators to only try to make an offer at the time. I never thought that they would have no objections and agreed easily."

Marvel Louie was more and more puzzled, but it was a pity that Uncle Chi Feng was "sleeping" at the moment, otherwise he would have wanted to ask this good brother.

"Forget it, let's just leave it like this. Perhaps the Earl of Chifeng has made a lot of money over the years. After all, the size of the galaxy controlled by Brother Ren Zhong is limited. We understand the difficulty of preparing for the war on our side, so we deliberately gave us some benefits."

Bourbon pondered for a while, "That makes sense."

On the other hand, the acquisition work of the smuggling trio under the command of the Duke of Wenle also had only minor twists and turns, but in the end it was smooth sailing.

It took eight years for Tang Tu, Mao, Jin and Wu You to create their own trashy character. This concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Now they have suddenly increased their scale. They are no longer satisfied with buying some inferior metal products that have been used up in multiple recycling cycles from the prosperous and prosperous planets that are inhabited. The Archon sees it as a tumor-like metal junk star.

The higher the intensity of human activities, the more energy is consumed and the more waste is produced. This has never changed since time immemorial.

Even the central region of the empire with a high level of technological development has not been able to escape such a rut.

Not only that, in the center of the empire, with higher technology and stronger productive resources, human beings are no longer satisfied with the development of planetary resources. There are a large number of stellar wind catchers orbiting many stars in high latitudes to collect The plasma in the stellar wind is captured, especially hydrogen isotopes, and other elements with atomic weights from low to high are also complete, but the content is more or less.

This technology of capturing stellar winds has provided almost inexhaustible material resources for the human race of the Empire.

As long as the stars do not die, the resources will not be exhausted.

In the long iterative process of resource utilization, these elements from the stellar wind eventually turned into one after another of metals and their isotopes with higher atomic weights, and then became real waste in multiple recycling cycles.

As early as millions of years ago, Imperial humans found the idea of piling waste in space.

Since then, garbage stars have naturally piled up more and more, and their size has become larger and larger.

Later, with the continuous improvement of metal recycling technology, junk stars composed of scrap metal have also been recycled many times.

However, in the past million years, due to the bottleneck of metal recycling technology, there has been no progress. .

The ever-increasing number of junk stars has brought about a more complex gravitational environment, and it has also troubled the gravitational stability of the stars in the central region of the empire. Even disasters are brewing occasionally, and a lot of resources have to be spent to prevent and rectify them.

This phenomenon tends to be more serious in more prosperous areas.

Duke Wenle's fiefdoms are basically in the central region of the empire, and the number and size of junk stars in the starfields under his command are far more than those in the far-flung starfields, which are relatively discrete, with low population density and underdeveloped economy and technology.

For example, the total mass of junk stars in Wenle's first star field is nearly fifty times that of the entire far-field star field.

If it is transported away, it seems that the cost is not very cost-effective, but staying here will be unsightly and hidden dangers.

If all of them are gathered together to form a huge physical planet and made into a pure neutron star, it seems to be a pity. After all, what if someday the metal recovery technology is advanced again?

In short, these things are tasteless, tasteless to eat, a pity to abandon, and distressing.

The people at Duke Wenle's mansion were always troubled by this matter, but they finally waited for the smuggling trio to take advantage of it.

They are willing to bear the sky-high transportation costs at their own expense, and they are even willing to offer a purchase price based on one-tenth of the unit quality of the brand-new mineral.

What is the favorite thing that "developed countries" like to dump on "underdeveloped countries"?

Of course it's rubbish!

As a result, the smuggling trio, relying on their extensive network, signed a large number of contracts in a very short period of time before the head of Duke Wenle's mansion reacted, and ate more than 50% of the junk stars in one bite.

This is nearly ten prosperous star regions, and 50% of the total accumulated by the people of dozens of star clusters in millions of years.

Even if this price is very generous, it has almost drained all the liquidity in the Chifeng clan.

It was at this time that the Duke Wenle's mansion finally reacted.

The development of the situation was completely unexpected.

Although no one can understand the real purpose of Ren Zhong, but when things go wrong, there must be demons, so it's always right to stop quickly.

Senna Romanov, who had fallen out of favor in front of the Duke, had to be pushed out again and was responsible for checking the matter.

Looking at the report a little bit, she found that the Chifeng clan had swallowed half of the garbage galaxies under the account of Duke Wenle's mansion in a short period of time like a giant whale siphoning, and she was also shocked.

But then, Senna Romanoff quickly turned from worry to joy.

Because according to the information provided by the Empire Supernet and the economic intelligence department, Senna discovered that Chi Fengbo was in a financial crisis in a short period of time.

This is a great thing.

In this day and age, with the widespread popularity of synthetic food, the financial crisis certainly cannot lead to famine and cause chaos, but observing the economic structure of the Earl of Chifeng, it can be found that in the past ten years, the Chifeng people have not only used it in their daily lives. In addition to relying heavily on the cheap commodities provided by the Duke of Wenle for daily living, it also relies more heavily on external energy in the field of energy.

Although the Chifeng people have been trying to build Dyson giant structures to capture stellar radiation energy very early, they have been too "military" over the years, and a lot of productivity has been poured into the military field, so that the Chifeng people's own wear The Mori giant structure is progressing slowly and is simply not enough to meet its daily needs.

If it weren't for the huge income from invisible coatings, the economy of the Earl of Chifeng would have collapsed long ago.

Senna immediately summoned the staff and began to carefully dismantle the current situation and analyze the deduction situation.

In the end, Senna came to a conclusion that although sooner or later, he will have a heavy life, but it seems that he has the opportunity to cause heavy damage to his industry and people, and even let Ren Zhong be grateful and extend his tentacles in advance. Inside the iron-clad Chifeng clan.

Hours later, the smuggling trio, predictably, found that the Junkstar acquisition business was up and running again.

Not only that, the Duke of Wenle's mansion is more open-minded, saying that considering the long-term good cooperative relationship between the two parties, the Chifeng people are allowed to use assets as collateral, sell on credit, and even take out loans to cover transportation costs, and then only need to pay meager interest. Make regular repayments.

The scope of this mortgage asset includes the sovereign galaxy of the Chifeng tribe, as well as patent intellectual rights, as well as fixed assets.

Nothing to say, the smuggling trio was reckless on the spot.

Nearly five years have passed, and the vast junk star finally crossed the star gate and appeared in the Nanxiang star cluster under the chain drag of a large towing ship.

Today, there is also a sovereign galaxy of the Chifeng clan around the star gate of the Nanxiang star cluster.

This huge junk star array was dragged over, and together with the far-field junk stars that had arrived in advance, they formed a huge planetary system super-extreme orbital ring.

From a distance, it seems that the stars are installed with "Saturn's rings", which is spectacular.

The habitable planet standing in this galaxy looks up at night and can see the long river of junk stars, just like the Milky Way.

Tang Tu, Mao Jin and Wu You looked down on the countless massive garbage stars in the spaceship, and sighed in their hearts that they did not embarrass the old team of the Count, but they were not humiliated.

But they also have worries in their hearts.

Senna and her staff can understand the situation, how can these three economic and trade bosses in the Chifeng tribe not understand.

Five years ago, they exhausted the working capital in the Chifeng clan and owed a large amount of loans.

Up to now, although the invisible paint factory has been working overtime at full power, it is far from being able to restore the working capital to the previous state, and the monthly loan repayment has to be exhausted.

Not only that, but also in the past five years, the enterprises under the Duke Wenle's mansion have been quietly raising commodity prices one after another.

Although the products after the price increase are still more cost-effective than self-produced products, the price of each product is slightly increased, and it is the huge amount of funds that can be leveraged together.

After careful calculation, that is, in the past five years, the per capita living standard of the Chifeng people has not improved compared with the past, but has slightly declined.

Of course, no one will complain. After all, the Chifeng clan has a short time to build the flag. The core people still remember the hardships of the ancestors from the source star, and also remember the desolate days of the ancestors on the source star. , the foreigners who were once pirates have also not forgotten the precariousness of the past.

But anyway, the situation is already very dangerous.

Tang Tu said anxiously: "The trouble is big, and now the material reserve has been completed. With the plan of the earl, I guess we will find a way to reuse these scrap metals, and we will do a lot of business. But Expanding the industry means a huge demand for energy. Energy batteries are not unusual commodities, and there will be a large loss when traveling through the star gate, so they are basically provided by the Nanxiang star cluster. Therefore, when the demand here is When it rises, the price of energy in the Nanxiang star cluster will definitely rise. Now the economy in the clan is already enough, and if the price of energy rises again, it will not be able to make ends meet.”

"That's right." Mao Jin nodded his head in a muffled voice.

On the other hand, Wu You seemed very confident, "Don't worry, the Earl is as knowledgeable as the sea, how could he not consider this situation."

At this moment, the three secretaries suddenly walked into the conference room and said in a panic, "Something happened."

"What's up?"

The three asked in unison.

The secretary didn't answer either, just forwarded an official document just sent from Duke Wenle's residence.

When the three of them saw it, they were all silent.

They were "backstabbed".

Over the years, they have been brothers and sisters with many merchants, marquis, earls, viscounts and other nobles in the star field under the Duke Wenle's mansion, and have established extremely good personal relationships.

But just now, their "good brothers" sent a jointly signed notice saying that they had completed the ship renovation and would immediately stop purchasing Chifeng paint.

At the same time, they also announced that they would not renew their respective sales agency contracts for Chifeng Paints.

Not only that, but they also told the trio that Lord Duke woke up not long ago, believing that the zero-tariff treatment he provided to Uncle Chifeng had effectively helped the Chifeng tribe to develop significantly. Now, it's time to take this benefit back and return to the 20% tariff rate common in empires.

What is particularly terrifying is that the 20% tariff is a bilateral import and export tax.

This means that from now on, the price of goods delivered from the Duke of Wenle will increase by 20% on the spot.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the Chifeng Commerce Department received bad news almost at the same time. Almost all the agents located in the center of the empire sent emails in a short period of time, saying that they would not renew their agency contracts.

This must be the handwriting of the Duke of Wenle.

God knows what kind of price Duke Wenle paid to make the Chifeng clan a complete draw.

Under the repeated sniping ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Chifeng's Ministry of Commerce soon discovered that even if the Junk Star transformation project is put down first, there will be problems with the normal energy supply in the Chifeng tribe.

A more serious situation is that due to the long-term dependence on the Duke Wenle Mansion in various industries, a large number of conventional material production enterprises within the Chifeng tribe have shrunk significantly.

Even if the technology is still there, it is no longer realistic to want to rebuild quickly to restore production capacity.

On the other hand, Liu An, this scumbag, has also changed.

The Nanxiang Earl's Mansion announced that due to the high energy consumption operation of the Chifeng people for more than ten consecutive years, a large number of energy batteries were purchased from the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion, resulting in an energy shortage in the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion itself.

Therefore, the energy company affiliated to the Earl's Mansion in Nanxiang announced a 50% price increase on the spot, effective immediately.

The "national policy" of "whatever it takes" to prepare for the war for 43 years has finally been hit hard after more than ten years of steady progress.
