Chapter 987: I Discovered Something Important During This
"Well, not bad!"
3333 smiled.
The right prime minister stood up, patted his sleeves and bowed: "Your Majesty, it is said that the World Government has sold 90,000 bombs in the past few days. Do we need to speed up the progress?"
3333 nodded when he heard this.
"Okay!"
Just when the court was about to leave, an official in charge of the warehouse in the Ministry of Works suddenly stood up and said tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Hmm?
The sudden appearance of this manager made the others who wanted to leave pause, and they had to turn back and stay where they were.
"When?"
3333 sat on the dragon throne and glanced at the official calmly.
"Your Majesty, there are not enough raw materials for bombs in the warehouse."
As soon as this was said.
Others looked a little unhappy.
Not enough raw materials for bombs... Then go buy them. It's really fucked up to delay the time to get off work here.
Above.
3333 frowned, he felt that the matter was not that simple.
If it was just that the raw materials for the bomb were gone, the official would not have said it out of disgust, there must be something else.
Sure enough.
The manager continued to bow, shuddered and said: "Your Majesty, there were a lot of raw materials for bombs in the warehouse before, but after the experiments and manufacturing in the past few days, a lot of raw materials have been lost, and now they need to be replenished."
"Otherwise, the materials for making bombs the day after tomorrow may not be available."
"I have reported to the right prime minister, and I just noticed that the prime minister forgot, so I came out to remind him."
As soon as these words came out.
The right prime minister seemed to remember something, looked up at 3333, and said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, a strange thing happened in the world channel recently. If we hadn't obtained the bomb making method, we might not have noticed it."
When it came to bombs, everyone else also returned to their serious expressions, and 3333 above also sat upright.
"What happened?"
The right prime minister said slowly: "He did tell me that there were not enough raw materials for bombs in the warehouse."
"At that time, after I knew about this, I planned to see if I could find the things. When the time came, I would explain this to Your Majesty and I could buy them directly."
"But, I discovered something big in this."
"The raw materials for making bombs have risen to 50 kilograms or even 60 kilograms of iron ore without knowing it."
As soon as this was said.
Other people in the court understood instantly.
There are no raw materials for bombs in the warehouse... The price of raw materials for bombs in the market has risen...If their empire wants to continue selling bombs, it must buy raw materials for bombs from the world channel.
But.
Now, they sell bombs for 100 kilograms of iron ore. If there are so many raw materials alone, won't they make no profit?
Five days after obtaining the bomb-making method, they have not made back their losses, and they have used up all the raw materials in the warehouse.
Thinking of this, the harmonious atmosphere just now changed instantly.
"According to this, one portion of raw materials is at least fifty kilograms of iron ore, so we can only earn fifty kilograms of iron ore for one bomb."
"You can't calculate it this way. We spent more than three million kilograms of iron ore on purchasing the bomb-making method, and we also used up the warehouse's raw materials and consumed a lot of manpower. Now we have only earned three and a half million kilograms of iron ore. This is a loss-making business."
"According to this calculation, wouldn't it be the next ten days, and only ten days, adding up everything else, that the empire's income will officially turn positive?"
"No, even after ten days, the raw materials for bombs will still be fifty kilograms of iron ore per portion, or even if the price increases, then we can only earn a small amount of iron ore, which will cost the people who use us to make bombs."
"After calculating it this way, it seems that bombs don't make that much money from iron ore?"
"..."
The discussion below continued.
Above.
3333 frowned as he listened to the discussion.
He hadn't paid attention to the world channel for several days, but when the bombs were just being made for two days, he went to see it, and then he lay on the woman's belly.
Compared to the survey work, lying in bed is naturally more comfortable.
Of course, he did not neglect his work, but spent more time on other things.
The most important thing is.
When the bombs first came out, they had already purchased a large amount of bomb raw materials, which was why they could make so many bombs without purchasing raw materials.
But now, so many raw materials have been used up.
"Why are the raw materials for bombs so cheap now..."
3333 did not say the rest of the words, but the meaning of the words was understood by everyone.
"Because of the appearance of bombs, the prices of saltpeter and sulfur, as well as the most common charcoal, have increased in the market."
"Yes, because of the appearance of bombs, many forces began to buy these things, and they were still hoarding a large amount of them, resulting in a shortage of these three things in the market. , This led to a large price increase, and it was difficult to curb."
"Because only the Chamber of Commerce sold bombs at the beginning, and they were extremely expensive, others had no choice but to drive up the price of raw materials."
"..."
After such a round, 3333 understood the reason.
They can actually be regarded as people who drive up prices.
After all.
When the Chamber of Commerce sold the bombs, he began to consciously stockpile some raw materials, and he stockpiled a lot.
This is also human nature.
3333 frowned: "Can we lower the prices of these things? If we don't lower them, we won't be able to get dividends from the bombs in a short time. In this case, wouldn't the method of making bombs be just decoration?"
Prime Minister Zuo looked embarrassed.
"Your Majesty...if we have iron ore, it would be extremely simple to lower the price of raw materials. We only need to use physical condition to crash the market for this thing."
"However, this method requires a large amount of iron ore, and the iron ore in our treasury will probably be wasted if we smash it."
That's right.
The method he thought of was consistent with the method Jiang Tian had used before, but the Merchant Alliance had already lost millions of kilograms of iron ore in this method. Fortunately, it was recovered with profits from other forces.
3333 looked a little ugly.
If this continues, it is inconsistent with his psychological expectations.
Logically speaking, after getting the bomb-making method, they should make a lot of money and enrich their wings.
Unexpectedly, the prices of things are now rising.
Think about it.
3333's eyes suddenly lit up, and he glanced down at the people pondering: "My dear friends, I suddenly thought of something, which may be helpful to this matter."
"We don't earn iron ore by making bombs. What about the Business Alliance and the World Government? Do they have the same worries as us?"
"After all, the prices of bomb raw materials in the World Channel are not much different. We can't make much, so naturally they..."
