Under her encouraging gaze, Xie Jianbang took a deep breath and said, "Xia Country's supplies have been shipped here across the ocean. The transportation cost alone is a huge expense. These expenses will be spread over the supplies, causing the prices of rainforest supplies to be generally much higher than those outside. However, the countries around the rainforest do not have this worry!"
"They don't have such high transportation costs, so they naturally have a price advantage. This is why materials from countries around the rainforest can quickly open up the market in the rainforest. They have a price advantage!"
"I think the essence of trade is that everyone gets what they need. Our original idea of getting involved in the rainforest was to obtain the minerals here, not to make a profit from it. If our profits are ultimately distributed to every person living in the rainforest, then in the long run, we will eventually lose the support of the people in the rainforest..."
"The public's will is a very mysterious thing! Although the Dalong Mercenary Group is the absolute overlord in the rain forest, once the entire rain forest is against them, they will be unable to stand alone, so..."
"My personal suggestion is that since we don't have core competitiveness, we might as well not compete and let Yulin buy things at a better price. We will only be the middleman responsible for transportation. In this way... the difference in the middleman's price can also make up for the funds needed to purchase ore. Although we will lose the trade quota in Yulin, in the final analysis, we have not suffered any loss, because..."
"The most basic material needed by the rainforest is actually food, and food... To be honest, our Xia country has a large population and some people still don't have enough food. Selling a large amount of food to the rainforest is not in our best interests!"
"Since the countries surrounding the rainforest want a piece of the pie, why don't we give it to them?"
As his horizons broaden, Xie Jianbang's ideological level has also improved qualitatively.
He once followed the purchasing team to purchase food in Xia Country, and he also saw people who were starving!
Since there are still people in Xia country who can't get enough food, how can they sell strategic materials like grain to the outside world?
They should buy it from outside!
In front of Gu Nanzhi and Xie Zhenting, Xie Jianbang spoke softly, but he expressed his meaning clearly.
Although he is a supplier of rainforest supplies, but...
He doesn't want to make this money anymore!
Because what he exports is not what he really wants to export!
“Pah!”
Gu Nanzhi couldn't help but applaud, "Very good! You hit the nail on the head!"
The biggest trading commodity in the rainforest is not the commodity that their Xia country can export now. This is the key!
The key is...
Xie Jianbang's choice...
When it comes to personal interests, he can have such a big picture view, and he remains calm when it comes to giving up. Gu Nanzhi couldn't help but praise him secretly.
As expected from the original book, he is a natural born businessman!
After leaving Shanxia Town, Xie Jianbang is like an eagle with its wings spread, his growth is visible to the naked eye!
From now on, a better future is definitely waiting for him!
"Thank you for your compliment, sister-in-law. I just said what I wanted to say..."
Xie Jianbang felt a little embarrassed by the praise. In fact, he was a little scared before he opened his mouth.
Afraid that his elder brother and sister-in-law would oppose him...
"We are going to inspect the rainforest, why don't you come with us!"
Seeing this, Gu Nanzhi smiled and said, "It's a good opportunity for you to take a look at what materials in the rainforest we can trade. You can select them yourself at that time. We will reduce the trade volume that we can. Now we have an almost complete industrial chain. When our production capacity is improved, we will consider exporting other materials..."
"good!"
Xie Jianbang couldn't ask for more.
The entire rainforest became peaceful because of the emergence of new trading rules.
Before leaving the rainforest, Gu Nanzhi had to inspect the rainforest for the purpose of doing a final exploration...
The rainforest is so vast!
The places they have been to are just the tip of the iceberg.
The development of Xia State requires a large amount of mineral support. If it can be mined in the rainforest, why don’t they mine it here?
After this round of inspection, several months passed...
During his inspection, Gu Nanzhi discovered several rare metal and rare earth veins, which was undoubtedly a blessing in disguise for them.
Xie Jianbang left the team after following them on patrol for a month or two.
Because his original intention of coming to the rainforest was to do business, and after understanding what he should know, he went back to teach the Dalong Mercenary Group how to be a middleman!
The middlemen make a profit from the price difference, which can not only support the Dalong Mercenary Group, but also provide Xiaguo with mineral purchases in the rain forest...
This is also a no-cost business for the Xia Kingdom!
After finishing these things, Xie Jianbang set off to return to Xia State.
For no other reason than that his wife's due date is approaching!
Because Gu Nanzhi had read the original novel, she knew that Wang Wanning died of childbirth complications in the original book. Therefore, she instructed Xie Jianbang in advance to rush back before Wang Wanning gave birth!
In this life, Wang Wanning was not forced to marry a scumbag, she married Xie Jianbang!
Moreover, this time, she was not pregnant with twins, so it should not be dangerous...
Therefore, after learning that Xie Jianbang had rushed back, Gu Nanzhi and his group's journey was not delayed!
They patrolled in the rainforest for a long time. Gu Nanzhi, the only one in the team who was proficient in materials science and had a good understanding of rare minerals in later generations, was still the main force of the patrol!
Finding mineral veins for Xia Kingdom is her only goal on this trip!
And the mineral veins...
Of course the more the better!
From this point of view, the rainforest gave them a lot of surprises!
in this way……
A few months later, the exploration team led by Gu Nanzhi can be said to have truly completed the mission perfectly!
soon……
A large number of personnel from Xia Country who were specialized in mining entered the rain forest and took over the original work of the exploration team. Gu Nanzhi and Xie Zhenting were at the core of the former war zone, at the base camp of the Dalong Mercenary Group, waiting for the withdrawal of the exploration team...
"Pregnant? Sister-in-law, are you sure?"
John looked at Gu Nanzhi in disbelief and said, "Both of my wives are pregnant? Really?"
Unlike Ah Hu, John, Dahei and others were deeply influenced by the rainforest ideology. After their lives were no longer full of crises, they immediately married wives in the rainforest, and...
Marry more than one!
John married two!
Dahei directly married three of them!
He’s almost as good as the chief of the primitive tribe in the rainforest!
"I was not mistaken, they are indeed all pregnant!"
Gu Nanzhi smiled when he heard this.
As one of the leaders of the Dalong Mercenary Group, John is a golden bachelor in the rain forest. The two women he married were sent by the rain forest tribe and they looked...
From John's perspective, it should be very beautiful!
"My wife is pregnant. I'm going to be a father!"
John laughed and jumped when he heard that. Then he turned around, covered his face and started crying: "Woo woo! I'm going to be a father! I thought I would die in the rainforest..."
