Chapter 2174: Too Much Bullying
Because I just said that as long as there is a mine, there will be monsters guarding it.
The fact that they found the mine and started collecting is enough to prove that they have been through a battle.
Regardless of whether there were casualties during the battle, everyone has made a lot of efforts.
At this time, they have paid so much, and it is time to get rewards, but Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared and clamored to share the resources with them. If it were you, would you be willing?
The other party did not make any effort, but came to ask for half. Isn't this a lion's mouth?
Unless they are weaker than the other party and know that they can't beat them, they may agree.
Otherwise, everyone is evenly matched, they will definitely not give in easily. Even if they really want to share, they will only give 10-20% to the other party at most, and they will never give half of the results to these predators.
If they only take 10-20% of the iron ore, then the latecomer will definitely not agree.
Since they dare to ask for an equal share with the other party, they naturally have a certain strength to defeat the other party.
After all, the other party had gone through a fierce battle and finally took the mine from the monster.
If the other party fights again at this time, their strength will definitely decline, and it is impossible to exert their full strength.
So if a battle occurs at this time, it will definitely be more advantageous for them as latecomers.
But again, because the strength of the two sides is not much different, even if they have a certain advantage as latecomers at this time, it is basically impossible to successfully repel the other party without any injuries.
Casualties are inevitable, it is nothing more than a question of how many, or whether it is a question of death or serious injury.
But no matter what, they, the latecomers, will definitely make a profit from this battle, otherwise they will definitely agree to the other party's conditions.
They also calculated that the other party knew that they would not get any good, so they would naturally agree to their conditions.
But the final result is often not what both parties want. Everyone hopes to get more resources, even if they don't hesitate to fight for it.
After all, people have to fight for their breath when they are alive. It is one thing to be defeated, and it is another thing to be able to beat.
Since the other party is not afraid of casualties, then they have no reason to be afraid. After all, they have paid a lot of price to deal with so many guarding monsters before.
At this time, they are not only sorry for them, but also sorry for those injured and dead brothers.
So this is the contradiction. They must do this. If they don't do it, they can't get more iron ore.
This is also one of the reasons why the resources of the Merchant Alliance can be rich enough to rival a country.
Because each force can only obtain resources by sending people out to mine, or take on a task issued by a certain force, asking them to help hunt down someone, or go to a dangerous place to get information, etc.
In short, they have very few ways to obtain resources, and the difficulty of obtaining them is also quite high.
Except for some powerful forces, other forces have very few iron ore left after deducting basic expenses every month.
Therefore, the iron ore reserves of ordinary forces are only enough for their own forces to develop slowly, and there is no extra to recruit people.
This also leads to the fact that even if these forces want to improve their own combat effectiveness, they will give up this plan due to insufficient resources.
After all, if the normal operation of the power cannot be maintained, who has the spare money to recruit people?
You should know that these recruited people are not just as simple as giving them salaries. As the leader, you need to bear all their daily eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping.
If the iron ore earned by these people from performing tasks exceeds their consumption, it is reasonable. Otherwise, recruiting such people can only hinder the development of the power and accelerate the demise of the power.
So it is still the same sentence. Recruiting people is a direct abandonment for most forces.
This is what people often say, the heart is willing but the strength is insufficient.
But this problem is completely stress-free for Jiang Tian's business alliance.
It can be said that even if the business alliance lacks everything, it will never lack iron ore.
Because if even the business alliance lacks iron ore, then there will be no one in the Sky Island world who does not lack it.
After all, the source of iron ore for other forces, in addition to performing tasks, is mostly through finding mines and collecting.
But the Merchant Alliance is different. They just need to keep producing goods and then sell them. They don't need to perform tasks at all. At least for them, even if they don't collect or perform tasks, they can still obtain iron ore by selling goods.
The main reason is that the Merchant Alliance is the first trading platform established in the Sky Island World. In addition, the goods they produce are what everyone needs, and the price is also moderate, so all major forces have become their customers.
However, even if we take a step back and say that even if the Merchant Alliance sells junk goods, their sales will not be bad.
Because there was no second platform in the early stage, others had to buy from the Merchant Alliance unless they didn't buy. Otherwise, they could only buy from the Merchant Alliance. This is just like a monopoly operation. It's hard not to make a fortune.
So after a period of sales, the Merchant Alliance's business network gradually took shape, and their iron ore reserves naturally rose sharply.
Even if other platforms appear later, the Chamber of Commerce has already left a mark in the minds of major forces. After all, first impression is the cognition of each force.
In addition, although those platforms that appeared later have certain advantages in price, their product quality and variety are far behind the Chamber of Commerce.
So even if their prices are cheap, because of the poor quality, the purchased products will soon be damaged.
The same products purchased from the Chamber of Commerce can still be used well, and even these cheap products have been broken for several times, while the products of the Chamber of Commerce are still not damaged.
So the seemingly cheap products are much more expensive than the seemingly expensive products sold by the Chamber of Commerce, so many people have been deceived several times and started to continue to buy from the Chamber of Commerce.
Only those small forces that really can't produce any iron ore will continue to choose these copycat platforms.
It's not that they don't want to be customers of the Chamber of Commerce, but their strength does not allow it.
This is also the reason why the wealth of the Chamber of Commerce will accumulate rapidly until they become rich enough to rival a country.
It is precisely because of this advantage of the Chamber of Commerce that everyone will subconsciously worry.
