Chapter 550 The North - Things are really going to change!
The greenery trading market is also something that the human government has discussed many times in the past half month.
What is the most profitable?
Of course it is a platform economy!
In the past earth era, countless examples have proved this!
The density of civilization in this place in the north is something that the outside world of Pangea has never had. In the past, humans would only encounter a civilization after wandering for twenty or thirty years.
However, here, there are hundreds of cities in one area, and the density of civilization is unimaginably high.
In addition, the civilization here is indeed not very strong, and Green City is sure to intimidate all parties, so this idea came to mind.
As for when humans will start again?
This is indeed a problem.
Lu Yuan has actually been emphasizing internally that staying in one place for a long time is not conducive to development, so even if the trading platform is built, people cannot stay here permanently.
But Green City is currently unable to pass through the extremely cold hell in the north. It doesn’t have the strength!
The space transfer of [Monster] will also take a long time.
Therefore, there is no need to think about leaving for the time being, developing yourself is the only way to go.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan took out a map: "Our city will be moved to a mine near the Ulan clan, and the trading market will be officially established at this location."
"I also ask all my friends to spread the news."
"No matter how weak a civilization is, it still has civilization points. We are purchasing civilization points on a large scale, and the ratio converted into aura is 1:50."
"Of course, we don't have much aura on hand, so we basically trade things for things! As you can see, the goods we have in Green City are abundant in quantity and variety, and are open to all civilizations!"
"As long as you have money, we will deliver it to your door!"
When Ta Gang, the city lord of Wulan City, saw this map, his pupils suddenly dilated and he straightened his back.
He... made the right bet!
Once this trading market opens, the flow of people will immediately increase!
Even Green City will become the center of the North!
Isn't this small city of theirs going to heaven immediately?
How much business can they do as long as they buy a floating fortress and help transport the goods?
The representatives of other races looked at the map, with mixed feelings in their hearts, and all looked at Tagang, whose face was full of red light.
Why was such a good opportunity snatched away by you?
And this matter is indeed big enough and may affect the pattern of the northern border!
Even the notorious goblin chief "Braden Digger" squinted his eyes, thinking about what changes would happen in the future.
"One point of civilization points can be exchanged for 50 souls... That's 50 souls... Damn, in comparison, the dwarves are just scammers. The ratio they provide is only 1:10..."
"The weaker the civilization, the less civilization points it has... I don't know how many we have. A pretty good floating fortress only costs 5 civilization points."
Brayden dug a grave and gnawed his fingers, constantly calculating in his mind: "And once the trading market opens, most cities will slowly become stronger. All kinds of equipment and weapons can be purchased. Cannons and firearms may be rampant. There are ways to rob.
It will become difficult to walk..."
"Do we have to change our ways from now on?"
Despite his ugly appearance and short stature, he has a very active mind.
"Can the goblin clan benefit from this? It's time to end the wandering life..."
"Commander Continent, what are the rules of the trading market?" The lizard people on the other side were also very excited and asked eagerly.
"It's very simple." Lu Yuan distributed some information, "In principle, as long as the price is right, everything can be bought and everything can be sold!"
"However, we are a civilization that advocates freedom and loves peace. In order to reduce war in the world, we oppose the slave trade and the sale of addictive drugs."
Many races looked at him with wide eyes, loving peace?
Then why do you make so many cannons?
However, prohibiting the slave trade is a good thing for weak civilizations, at least they will not be taken away for no reason.
"What is the cost of living here? If the population increases in the future, you won't be able to provide free food and accommodation all the time, right?" Tagang asked again in a very cooperative manner.
Lu Yuan continued: "Our booth fee is free. A civilization can get a 100-square-meter exhibition hall for free. No matter how big it is, it will have to pay for the construction cost."
"As for eating, drinking, and diarrhea, you really have to bear it yourself."
"We won't charge you Lingyun. We only need our internal currency to cover the expenses. Please see the list of supplies."
Everyone looked at the information, which introduced the purchasing power of Green City's internal currency.
For example, the price of a ton of rice is about 2,000 yuan, which is enough to feed one person for several years (except centaurs).
This price is relatively stable and is almost constant unless the relationship between supply and demand changes significantly.
The annual rent for a fully furnished room of 80 square meters is 8,000 yuan.
The cost of one kilowatt hour of electricity is 3 yuan.
The price of one ton of hot water is 3 yuan.
The price of a ton of copper is 70,000 yuan; the price of a ton of pig iron is 8,000 yuan.
"Industrial products are too cheap..." The price of a ton of iron at 8,000 yuan stunned these guys. This is the productivity of a serious technological civilization.
"The price of 1 Lingyun is basically around 100-200 million, and the purchasing power is very strong!"
Therefore, every race can afford the cost of living in Green City.
Lu Yuan added: "We allow other civilizations to do business in our market."
"If a trade occurs in the trading market. These two civilizations want us to be the intermediary guarantor, then a handling fee of 5-8% will be levied. We in Green City guarantee fair transactions and door-to-door delivery."
"If the two civilizations are not willing to let us be the middlemen in the transaction, then no tax will be levied. Of course, all logistics must be borne by yourself. The so-called trade risks must be judged by yourself."
Everyone was amazed that this business...you can make 8% of the money by just delivering the goods once!
It’s simply a waste of money!
If there are 500 cities doing business here in the future, how much trade volume will be generated every year? If you add up to 8% every year, it is also a huge income.
Of course, if you want to do this, you must have excellent reputation and strong war strength.
Otherwise, why should others believe you?
These races are frantically calculating what kind of chain reaction the creation of a large-scale trade market will bring.
Northern Territory - Things are really going to change soon.
There will definitely be a race that seizes the opportunity and becomes stronger.
There will definitely be more conflicts and... wars?
But so what?
Living in this world is not easy in itself.
Only by continuously strengthening yourself is the most important thing for settling down and settling down!
"The last thing!" Lu Yuan took a deep breath, "I must emphasize that we in Green City make money openly and everything is fair."
"Civilization points become very important once they develop to a certain level, especially after the third-level civilization. I don't have to hide this. So please think twice about selling civilization points!"
"May all civilizations have a brilliant future!"
…
…
After the meeting, the representatives of these seven races left the Green City with great ambition and rushed back to their hometowns without stopping.
Each race has its own thoughts, either thinking about how many civilization points it has; or thinking about how to seek greater benefits?
But invariably, they felt a historical mission.
In the first eight eras, there was pain and failure, betrayal and separation, but also happiness and joy, rise and glory.
Countless civilization relics record their vivid history and final cold ending - an epochal disaster from which no one can survive.
So, what about us?
Although the Ninth Era is long, when can we prepare for a rainy day when we are just living a life like this?
When will the unchanging environment come to an end?
Occasionally, some far-sighted leaders will feel a bit of urgency, but they can only comfort themselves: if a city wants to become stronger, it cannot be easily promoted by one person. Only the accumulation of resources, talents, culture, and systems can produce qualitative changes.
.
But at this moment...the opportunity really appeared!
Destiny is always in your own hands, just like a wheel. Only by pushing it little by little can you leave deep traces on the snow.
Only the countless imprints in the snow can create the great era of the future!
…
"Children, our time has come."
The great chief of the goblin clan, with his companions, was galloping on the snow.
Everyone is wearing carbon nanosuits and carrying solar backpacks, the north wind is howling, and there is light snow in the sky, but their hearts and bodies are warm, and their eyes the size of mung beans are full of joy.
"Great Chief, what will happen in the future...?"
"Gather the tribesmen who are wandering around and extract our civilization points first!" "Braden Digger" stared, enjoying the "mushroom chicken rice" presented by humans.
"Great Chief, there are 12 of our tribes. The other tribes do not listen to us."
"We extract our own civilization points, give priority to purchasing weapons and equipment, and conquer the other tribes before they react!" "Braden digs graves" ambition is burning, "trampling on the enemies of the past, history
Always advance on the saber, this world is a world of the weak and the strong."
"Who stipulated that our goblin clan is a weak clan? Who stipulated that we must live a wandering life? Seize the opportunity and unify the tribe!"
"The opportunity has come, the goblins should burn and roar!"
"Burning and roaring!!" A group of subordinates cheered and shouted crazily.
…
The Ulan clan on the other side lost their horses and were sent back by Green City's spaceship, accompanied by a large group of scientific expedition members. It is expected that they will reach their destination in one day.
The smile on everyone's face couldn't stop.
"After we go back, we must quickly send people to cut down the trees on that land! And flatten some hillsides to make it easier for Green City to land."
Tagang wears sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, which were given to him by humans to enhance his eyesight and effectively prevent snow blindness.
The landing of a city requires relatively large terrain.
Even if the terrain in the plain area is flat, there will still be some ups and downs, and you will need to take a short rest before landing.
"Lord City Lord, we have to grow more food!" The bachelor came up with ideas excitedly, "With so many races living in Green City in the future, the demand for food will obviously increase! Green City does not care about this income, but
We can see it. How much food does a centaur eat in a day?"
"We sell cheaper food to them."
"There are also those goblins who like to eat day laborers' paste. This kind of food is very unique."
"We also need to develop the brewing industry, the slave trade, casinos, arenas, and brothels! We will arrange for all these low-end service industries that Green City looks down upon!"
"Constantine, you are such a genius!" Everyone's eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but start imagining how they would get rich in the future.
As there are more races, there are always needs of one kind or another.
In order to maintain its competitiveness, Green City cannot engage in low-level service industry, but you must know that low-level service industry can also make money, so it was their turn in Ulan City.
"The stronger the Green City trading market and the greater the foreign population, the more benefits we can obtain."
"But Grand Bachelor, if we are engaged in slave trade, our current strength is a little unworthy?" Another more calm soldier captain Tungsten Mu said, "If there is a dispute, Green City will not take care of us. They themselves will
Oppose this kind of thing.”
"Then let's wait until we grow a little bit before we do these difficult things...Buy bars and casinos first. Oh, by the way, we have to quickly connect the road to Green City and buy some electric cars! We don't need a lot, I saw that
Plant a solar-powered bus that can carry dozens of people."
"What a great idea!"
Their spirits were in high spirits and they were almost in a state of excitement as they discussed.
Ulan City has completely placed its bets on Green City.
In the future, the productivity structure of cities will change with the emergence of trading markets!
So these guys were once in a fanatical atmosphere, wishing that the airship could fly faster and return home in the next second.
…
As for the other human city, it didn't gain much benefit, and its mood was relatively calm.
"Sir, Wulan City is obviously going to be developed. Our elementary ruins are simply not enough to compare with the opportunities at this level..."
Dao Gu and others were filled with jealousy, sourness, and mixed emotions, not to mention how uncomfortable they were.
When the cities of the same human race develop, it will be even more difficult than when alien races develop.
"Why didn't we think of giving away a mine? If we give it away now, Green City will not be able to move here. It will be too late!"
"Should we move our whole family? To the edge of Green City?"
This is indeed an idea. The Northern Territory is sparsely populated and even in geothermal areas, there are many open spaces.
But they are reluctant to part with the bottles and cans at home. There are millions of people in a city, and the amount of collective relocation projects is huge. Some people may die on the way.
Moreover, there is a low-level ruins near them, and the resources inside have not been fully searched yet...
Rebuilding a city is not easy, and it will take decades!
It was really difficult for them to make this determination.
"Or, let's just buy a city from Green City! Anyway, we have completed civilization milestones and have a lot of civilization points in our hands."
"That's a good idea."
People are racking their brains. Who doesn’t want to live in a modern city with a large number of solar panels?
The discovery of "civilizational ruins" is an important milestone, so they in Mailu City really have a lot of luck on their hands!
But they are a little reluctant to bear it. The price of a city is astonishingly high when you think about it with your toes...
"No, you are wrong! I think we should wait and see for the time being, and don't put all our wealth and lives on it." Suddenly someone said.
This is a wise man from Mailu City, named Luo Boko, who is over three hundred years old. The wrinkles on his face are like deep ravines: "If Green City wants to rise, there is still a huge threshold.
"
"If they can't get over it, their trading market will only be a small one."
"You mean... the dwarves?"
"That's right! The dwarves spent a lot of effort and decades spreading the glyph compass in order to collect more civilization points, but in the end they were picked off by the Green City."
"Guess what the dwarf would think?" The old man narrowed his eyes.
"They're going to start a gambling fight?"
"Yes, I bet that as long as word spreads, the dwarves will definitely come to your door for gambling and fighting!"
"Although it is unlikely that the dwarves and the Green City will engage in a large-scale exchange of fire, as long as the gambling battle is won, it will cause a devastating blow to the reputation of the Green City."
"You should know what reputation and reputation mean."
Life in the north is very cruel, all cities are very realistic, every civilization is very strong, even level 6 masters have to charge into battles, and there is no way to be pampered.
"Face" is such an illusory thing, it is very important.
If you hit him with one punch, you will save hundreds of punches.
Face should not be stained with dust. Once face is ruined, the inside must be kept.
Once face bleeds, it will be damaged at first, and at worst, it will be reduced to zero.
In a platform economy like the trading market, only a single “boss” can overwhelm numerous civilizations.
You are the boss and can easily kill us, so of course you have the final say.
But if you are not the boss, then I'm sorry, there are always some profit-minded people who are ready to make a big fortune.
By then, the cost of governance will not be at the same level as now.
"So, let's see the outcome of their bet in the future."
The old man pointed to the sky and said slowly: "If the dwarves win, the center of the trading market will shift to the dwarves. All the investment in Ulan City will be in vain."
"If the dwarves are defeated... we... it's not too late to just buy a city and take refuge there!"
…
…
For all citizens of Green City, this major decision also means a change in future destiny.
In the past, Green City had been wandering around, constantly heading into the distance.
Because of this, I have encountered challenges again and again and gained opportunities again and again.
But now, people will develop here stably for a period of time and establish a trading market. It can be said to be a change in the development route!
This piece of news was like a bombshell, causing a great discussion in society, and it has not stopped even after half a month.
"Comrades and friends, hello everyone, it's been a long time since I talked to you about future development."
On this day, Lu Yuan delivered an important speech.
In fact, in recent years, he has not been on TV much and will only show up at critical moments. After all, he is a lazy person and advocates that humans manage themselves.
Lu Yuan's voice not only appeared on various screens in Xiaodongtian, but also appeared in the dream world. Almost all citizens could hear his speech.
"First of all, it needs to be stated that this kind of settlement is not permanent, but is only a temporary measure. Because we are temporarily unable to leave the northern border, we chose to settle and develop."
"There are currently two ways to leave. The first is to cross the ice barrier; the second is to return to the different space where the [monster] is and let the [monster] take us away... I believe everyone already knows these two methods.
.”
"Once we have the ability to leave, we should still choose to move into the distance and not indulge in the current comfort and enjoyment."
"We should not forget our goals. The mother civilization of mankind is still waiting to join forces; the secrets of the epochal disaster are still waiting for us to pursue; the major ruins of the ninth era are waiting for us to explore."
"The passage of time is the cruelest thing. Every day you stay now, you may regret it more in the future... We have seen many tragedies. Only by seizing every opportunity can we reduce the possibility of tragedy."
In each classroom of Xiaodongtian, students looked at the big screen carefully.
Many staff members in the dream also let out a sigh of relief.
In order to cultivate children's fighting spirit from an early age, everyone has a dream experience class.
The first scene is "The Decline of Green Civilization". Miss Conch does not care about personal privacy, but generously reproduces the story that happened so that every child can experience it.
The second scene is "Origin Fire Civilization and the Great Mirage". How did the Great Mirage protect the Origin Fire Civilization? What does it look like when an entire civilization turns into a hibernation warehouse?
This kind of immersive experience class has a very good educational effect!
After returning to reality, many children felt sad and even shed tears of sadness.
The third scene is the latest addition. How did the Lanpeng civilization decline?
The survivors of the Lan Peng Civilization personally built the quasi-interstellar civilization in the dream, and tried their best to bring in the terrifying field of [Ghost·The Eye of the Shrine].
In just one night, the magnificent city of eight million people disappeared.
This kind of education scared some children with poor endurance and made them cry for three days and three nights - but so what?
This is the real cruel world!
Human beings must struggle for a long time in order to remain standing in the face of various difficulties!
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and admitted in his heart that the educational effect of "Real Dreams" was indeed very good: "Comrades, it is time for us to collectively wake up."
Chapter completed!
