Chapter 2169 The Loss Outweighs the Gain

For him, as long as he can fish up valuable materials, he doesn't mind even if it takes a little more time.

Because as long as he has one, he can use the copy skill to split it into two.

Although it took a long time the first time, he didn't need to fish for this commodity later, and he could get one every day by using the copy skill.

So in Jiang Tian's view, these things can be used at any time, and their value is definitely higher than that of fishing rods at that time.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has no shortage of fishing rods, otherwise, according to long-term development, fishing rods are definitely the most scarce and most important resource in the entire Sky Island world, without a doubt.

So Jiang Tian has a large number of fishing rods, plus he has the copy skill.

As long as Jiang Tian can fish up a special material, he can copy a second one.

In this way, there will be no shortage of materials that need innovation, and there will be no need to buy from others and be ripped off by others.

This is also the reason why Jiang Tian's business alliance can surpass other forces in the first place, even if someone follows suit and wants to surpass him, they can't do it.

For those people, the speed of the Merchant Alliance is like riding a rocket.

Not to mention surpassing the Merchant Alliance, even catching up with them and seeing their taillights is a harder task than climbing to the sky.

It is precisely because of the Merchant Alliance's innovation speed that many people mistakenly believe that they are just a group of thorough businessmen, and they will never associate them with war.

However, just as they thought, Jiang Tian secretly arranged Li Cunxiao, Lu Bu, and Huo Qubing to go out to collect autumn wind and perform some special tasks to earn some extra money for the Merchant Alliance, so that the Merchant Alliance has always been in the leading position.

But for Jiang Tian, ​​these are just a whim, not to compete with other forces, nor for such a small amount of money.

After all, the resources earned by the Merchant Alliance through trading goods every day are hundreds and thousands of times more than the resources earned by Lu Bu, Huo Qubing, Li Xiuning, and Li Cunxiao when they go out to perform tasks.

Even though Lü Bu, Huo Qubing, Li Xiuning, and Li Cunxiao are super generals, they are only four people after all. Even if Zhang San, Liu Yidao, and a group of subordinates are included, there are only dozens of people.

Even if these people are extremely powerful, one can be used as dozens or hundreds of people, and even the four super generals can be used as 1,000 people.

However, this is just a simple statement of their strength. If they want to perform tasks, their efficiency is not as good as 1,000 people, even if they are ten or a hundred people.

Unless it is some particularly dangerous tasks that require particularly high strength, then their role can be brought into play.

Otherwise, for some simple tasks that can be completed by ordinary members of the forces, the value of super generals such as Huo Qubing, Li Cunxiao, Li Xiuning, and Lü Bu will basically not be reflected.

If it is really reflected, it is nothing more than their speed is faster and the completion rate is higher, that's all.

But again, no matter how fast they are, they can't be faster than the sum of the speed of 1,000 people. At most, they can only be as fast as a few or a dozen people.

This is why, even if the Merchant Alliance has four super generals, Lu Bu, Li Xiuning, Li Cunxiao, and Huo Qubing, and high-level generals such as Liu Yidao and Zhang San go out to perform secret missions to earn resources.

One of the reasons why they still can't compare to the resources earned by the Merchant Alliance from selling goods.

To put it bluntly, they are limited by the number of people. Even if the manpower is too high, there are not as many resources earned by the Merchant Alliance from selling goods.

However, this is also intentional by Jiang Tian. After all, the strength of the Merchant Alliance is there, and its iron ore reserves are definitely the first in the world of Sky Island.

So if Jiang Tian really wants to recruit people, just the resources in the hands of the Merchant Alliance, let alone a team of hundreds or thousands of people, even a team of tens of thousands of people, Jiang Tian can recruit them.

If all these people are sent out to perform tasks at that time, the resources harvested will definitely be an astronomical figure.

Even if the business alliance has many customers and buys many goods, compared with the resources earned by tens of thousands of people to perform tasks, it is really not possible to say that it completely exceeds the income of these people.

It's just that Jiang Tian will not do this. To be precise, Jiang Tian will not do this now.

It's not that Jiang Tian is reluctant to spend so much money to recruit so many people into his business alliance.

If it is really for money, Jiang Tian will definitely agree to this plan.

Just like what I said just now, if it is just relying on Lu Bu, Huo Qubing, Li Xiuning, Li Cunxiao, Zhang San, Liu Yidao, no matter how strong they are, even if they all reach the realm of perfection, the speed of earning resources is not as fast as the business alliance's main business scope, that is, selling goods.

So if you want to make the speed of earning resources from performing tasks catch up with the speed of earning resources from selling goods, you can only rely on the advantage of numbers.

But everyone knows that it is impossible to catch so many people just by fishing.

Because according to Jiang Tian's entry into the Sky Island for so long, the number of people he has caught has not exceeded 100.

However, the types and quantities of the fish caught exceeded ten thousand at least.

From this point, it can be seen that if you only want to increase the number of members of the Merchant Alliance by fishing, it is basically a daydream.

Not to mention that the Merchant Alliance’s headquarters can’t do it, even if 0888, the Empress, and the Painter are all included, and the people caught by these allies are counted, it is still impossible for the Merchant Alliance to gather tens of thousands of people in a short period of time. It will take at least several years to do it.

To put it bluntly, if this number of people is really gathered, the sales performance of the Merchant Alliance may reach a new height.

For example, if the number of people carrying out tasks in the Merchant Alliance reaches 10,000 now, it can be equal to the resources earned by the Merchant Alliance’s daily sales.

But when you catch these people with a fishing rod, after a few years, although you have caught 10,000 people.

But at that time, if you want to be equal to the resources earned by daily sales, this number is likely to change from 10,000 to 100,000.

In this way, your gap is still the same as before, or even bigger than before.

Although there are more people behind you, you can obtain more fishing rods through various means to allow more people to participate in fishing supplies.
