Blackstone Code

Chapter 1723: distressed

There is a saying that war does not break trade.

Going a step further up, it can be called war does not break capital!

What does it mean?

In fact, the meaning of this sentence is very simple. It means that when a war breaks out, neither the country that started the war nor the country that is invaded will stop its internal and external trade behavior.

The business that should be done is still to be done, but the risks to be taken will be bigger than usual!

The Pontgio Empire launched a despicable war without declaring war. They are the destroyers of world peace and the creators of the shadow of war.

But this does not mean that they do not need to import goods, nor does it mean that they will not export goods.

At any time, as long as the two sides of the trade are willing to take greater risks than usual, no one will stop their legitimate trade behavior.

Not just ordinary trade behavior, any capital behavior is allowed, as long as it is still within the legal scope!

In Pengio, people need to import, and the main resources and rough parts come from its dependent countries.

There are also some goods from other countries, and they even import some things from the Federation, of course, they will not directly identify themselves.

They would register a trading company in a neutral country, then buy these goods, and then transfer them to the empire.

This kind of thing is not only done by Pengio, but also by the federal people.

You can't make money just because everyone is at war, right?

Is this not in line with the principle of the capital world's pursuit of interests? !

Everything that does not conform to the principles must be wrong, so war does not break trade, nor does it break capital!

During this period of time, the businessmen in Penggio have been worrying about one thing.

Obak had the same troubles.

He is a businessman from the Pongio Empire, an honest businessman.

In this terrifying and powerful empire, not all businessmen are qualified to be called "capitalists". In a sense, the title of capitalist is exclusive to the upper classes of the empire.

Oback is just an ordinary businessman, running a steel business.

He will buy ore, then smelt it, and finally sell the metal ingots to factories that need it, such as some large heavy industry companies owned by imperial nobles.

Those people are capitalists, he is not.

He is just a poor, insignificant "small workshop" that provides purified materials for big people.

It is worth mentioning that this small workshop provided 4,000 jobs for the Pengio Empire!

Some people call Oback a steel tycoon, but after he learned the news, he took the initiative to apologize to those steel tycoons. He told them that he never thought about it and would not do it!

He has always kept a low profile, and his business is good. The war has promoted the consumption of various metals, but recently he has encountered a trouble, that is, there is not enough ore.

In the Pengio Empire, more than 70% of the mining areas that have been discovered and are being mined belong to the nobles and imperial families.

The ore produced by these mines will be given priority to the iron and steel factories specializing in the imperial family and nobles of the empire.

Ordinary steel mills like Oback can only buy ore from some private mines.

However, after the outbreak of the war, large steel plants have increased their production capacity, and ore from private mines must also be given priority to these large steel plants.

In addition to being able to buy a small amount of ores, merchants like Oback are still mainly imported.

Imported from neighboring countries, as well as imported from overseas.

There are quite a lot of metal ore veins distributed in this world, especially some inconspicuous small places, which often hide amazing ore vein resources.

In the easternmost part of the southern continent, some small countries seem to have a population of one or two million, but their per capita income is very high.

The reason why it is high is because it is rich in various ores. For such a common small country that relies on the sale of resources, their only job is to hire people to dig out the ores and then sell them!

This is also the main area that affects the price of international ore. For example, some areas that are rich in ore in the world have a huge output and control the price of the international market quite well!

They have no political stance, almost all of them are neutral countries, and some small countries don't even have an army!

In the past, Obak and their cooperation were very happy, but as the war continued to the present, and the defeat in the battlefield of Nagalil.

The things that only bothered him before have become tricky now!

To put it simply, with the same money, you cannot buy the same ore!

Because the Aoyuan is rapidly depreciating, when a Pongio Empire that launched a full-scale war was actually defeated in the Nagalil battlefield, even though they still occupied the eastern part of Nagalil.

But for everyone who knows them, they know what it means!

If the Federals can drive them from the central area of ​​Nagalil to the eastern area, they will naturally be able to drive them out completely. It is only a matter of time and determination!

The Nagalil war launched by Pongio is not favored by people. No matter how beautifully they fought in Amelia, it can't hide the fact that they have nothing good to do against the Federals!

This also led to the decline of Aoyuan!

People will not hold the currency and bonds of a country that has a great possibility of failure. When these people cannot see the future, they will sell these things at a relatively reasonable price that can keep some of their principal. Lose!

We all know that the so-called market and volatility is the change in the transaction price of a commodity. Now that more people are selling the Aussie dollar and Penzio national bonds, these two commodities have become worthless, and the price will naturally change. With the scale of the sell-off, and people's dissatisfaction, it has continued to decline.

In the past, you could buy ten kilograms of ore with one dollar, but now you need to spend more than one!

It was also more than ten points, and it was also more than twenty or thirty points. It seems that such a small amount of money is not conspicuous. If it can be converted into proportion, it is amazing enough!

In the past, the money could buy ten cars at a time, but now I can only buy seven and a half cars.

But those large domestic heavy industry companies don't care how much Oback cost, they only buy at the past price.

You don't have to sell it, no one is forcing you.

Although the Pengio Empire was a feudal society ruled by the royal family, the royal family was relatively enlightened.

They paid attention to the Federation initially not because they wanted to go to war with the Federation, but to understand the social system of the Federation.

Most powerful countries have realized that the feudal government is being eliminated by history.

Perhaps in the past, when the society was not developed enough, when people's exploration of nature and the world was not enough, when people's education level was still low, it played a great role.

But now, it has been eliminated!

Guevla's reform affects Pongio, who has the same system. They will not reform to the end like Guevla at once, but they will come little by little.

Forgiving the people is the first thing to do!

If the price is too low, you may not sell it!

Obuck's steelmaking plant has a large number of people, and just paying wages every month is a huge expense!

What troubles him most now is that the amount of ore he can buy is getting less and less, and the metal ingots in the warehouse are getting more and more!

Large-scale heavy factories are not needed, and small-scale enterprises cannot use so much, and it is difficult to afford higher and higher prices. In short, the current situation is not very ideal.

Oback once thought about shutting down the work, but the local city hall told him that in any case, the shutdown could not be stopped, and the city hall would help him find a market.

In fact, he did move the city hall to sell some metal ingots, but the price of the ore outside was getting higher and higher, which gave him a very frightening feeling.

Maybe if he keeps doing it, he will go bankrupt!

Depressed Aubak came to the club he often went to alone, which is a very special place in the Pengio Empire.

It's like a bar, café and salon combined.

Just buy a cup, find a place to sit, chat with everyone, or simply sit.

Oback is an acquaintance here. As soon as he sat down, he found that someone was talking about a topic similar to him.

The situation everyone encountered is basically the same. All the resources that depend on imports are "increasingly", but the domestic price system keeps the domestic price all the time, which is a headache for many businessmen.

In fact, Obuck is quite good. There are also some specializing in providing spare parts for large enterprises. They have signed contracts. They have no way to raise prices. Not only can they not make money, but also lose money, not to mention their monthly wages It's enough to give them a headache for a while!

So everyone is talking about this topic.

Oback found a relatively close chair~lightnovelpub.net~ and sat down.

There are no sofas here, just chairs.

"...So doing this is the best way, although it looks a little... You know, we have no other way!"

He heard someone say something he didn't understand on and off, but he realized that this might be the solution.

He couldn't help but moved closer and found someone he knew well, "What the **** is going on?"

People who knew him watched Okbar for a while, and felt that the other party was someone he could trust, so they whispered to him what the person in the crowd had talked about before.

"He suggested that we exchange the money in our hands into the federal sol as soon as possible, or the currency of some neutral countries, but the currency stock of neutral countries is limited, and if we hold too much, it will eventually lead to the collapse of the currency system."

"So our main target is the Federation Sol!"

"We can open some accounts in some neutral countries, keep the money in those accounts, the exchange rate of the Federal Sol is very stable, use it to buy what we need, and then ship things back..."

After listening to it, Aubak kept nodding. This was indeed a good idea, but at the same time, he also had a question to answer, "But what we got was still Ao Yuan, which actually didn't make any improvement!"

His friend pouted towards the crowd, "He's talking about this..."
