The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes

v2 Chapter 290: supply side reform

The weather has been sunny for a few days, and the sky is drizzling again.

Charles listened to the retired veteran cadres who boasted together every day in the square opposite the palace that the rain this spring was a little more than the same period in previous years.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Victoria, who was drinking afternoon tea in the tea room, pushed a small basket of finger biscuits in front of Charles.

"Have you made a lot of money these days?" Victoria asked Charles.

"It's so-so, just make some money to run errands." Charles ate a finger biscuit, "The cost of Rigoletto's preparation is too little, so I won't be able to buy much this time."

Victoria picked up the teacup and took a sip of the herbal tea, then said, "Since that's the case, why are you running so diligently with him?"

Charles thought for a moment and said, "Because I see a huge hidden danger in our economy."

"Oh?" Victoria put down her teacup and looked at Charles with interest. "What the **** are you thinking?"

Charles, who had been prepared for a long time, took out a book from the storage ring that he had bought from the Rurik Kingdom, turned to the place marked by the bookmark and read it: "The relationship between supply and demand is... blah blah blah..."

Victoria rested her face on the table with one hand and a smile on her face. She recalled the time when Philip explained the "economics of another world" to her and Ekaterina.

After reading the book, Charles closed the book and said to Victoria who was looking out the window: "In the past few days, I found that we, as the supply side, have problems such as aging product structure, weak innovation, and disconnection from the demand side."

At this time Victoria poured Charles a cup of tea, "Go on."

Over the years, Victoria has always been "focusing on the heavy and letting go of the light". While paying close attention to the development of heavy industries in the world such as railway transportation and iron and steel metallurgy, it has adopted a management method of liberalizing the market and developing freely for traditional light industries.

Now that Charles told her that there were problems with traditional light industry, she became interested in hearing what Charles had to say.

Charles said: "I have run a lot of workshops with that Rigoletto in the past few days and seen a lot of products."

"Rigoletto was the administrator of the royal treasury of the Rebach Kingdom a long time ago. He is very familiar with the treasures of the elf that have hundreds of thousands of years of history in the treasury."

"He found that the products in the workshop have not changed much from the products of hundreds of years ago, and the progress is only a small step."

"This situation was not a problem in the past when we exported goods to the north at high prices and in small quantities. The supply of our goods in the north was less than the demand, and many times we couldn't buy them with money."

"But since last year, we have increased the circulation of people and the export of goods. In the first two or three years, the situation will not change, but with the continuous export of goods, the market for non-consumable goods will gradually become saturated, if there are no new selling points for the goods. Sales will plummet.”

“And what we produce in our workshops is just what the workshop owners want to produce, they don’t even think about what the demand side wants to buy. This kind of situation works well in a seller’s market, but in a buyer’s market It will be in trouble later.”

Charles drank three cups of tea in a row before finishing the problems he had discovered in the past few days.

After listening to what Charles said, Victoria put one hand on the table and tapped the table with her slender fingers rhythmically.

After a long time she said to herself, "So, we need a supply-side reform?"

Charles didn't answer, and he didn't say anything about how to solve national affairs.

Victoria will not make decisions on national affairs because of Charles' one-sided remarks. She will ask relevant departments to investigate this issue, and then convene a meeting to discuss the issue before making a decision.

"Then do you have any comments or suggestions?" Victoria asked Charles.

Charles replied: "I want a piece of land on the road from the east station of Greentown to the city. The scale is about 400 meters wide. I plan to build a building there."

"Are you going to rebel against Auntie?!" Victoria said with a black line, "It's enough to build a castle in such a big place."

"I'm not, I don't, don't think about it." Charles hurriedly waved his hand to deny.

Then he took out a large oil painting from the storage ring and put it on the wall of the tea room. It was painted by Horatio's sister Nana these days.

This is a rendering of the building complex. Although it is not detailed, it can be seen roughly.

Facing the street is an arc-shaped two-storey shopping mall with a length of more than 200 meters and a width of nearly 100 meters. The roof is an open-air garden. Behind the shopping mall is the dining street, and behind it are buildings with about five or six floors, which are reserved for hotels.

"Huh?" Victoria looked at the architectural renderings and asked, "How many years are you going to build this 'Peace Mall', and do you have so much money?"

"Money is not a problem. The elf royal court can use the land to invest in shares. My family's savings can be used for 70%, and the rest can be used to attract capital to participate in the human society. If reinforced concrete is used, the cost and construction period will be reduced a lot." Charles The question of money and construction period was dismissed lightly, "I found that Greentown lacks a large comprehensive wholesale mall, and foreign merchants need to ask and run from workshop to workshop when purchasing. Goletto is running hard. The workshops are wasting a lot of time in the workshop waiting for customers to come to their door.”

"If we put all the manufacturers in this mall by product type, buyers from the north will definitely be happy to source here."

"And the gathering of manufacturers will inevitably lead to competition between them~lightnovelpub.net~ The frequent contact between buyers and manufacturers will form a flow of information between the two parties, so that the market will force manufacturers. We reform ourselves."

He believes that the supply-side issue mentioned earlier has been taken seriously by Victoria. If reforms are to be made, the comprehensive wholesale market he proposed is a breakthrough for promoting reforms through economic means, which will complement administrative means.

Charles, who was chatting, suddenly found that Victoria was staring at him, which made his neck shrink subconsciously.

Victoria reached out and brushed Charles' hair with an expression on his face that Charles could not see through.

"I can't be exposed, right?" Charles was shocked, "Aunt Victoria has seen many travelers..."

The more he thought about it, the more worried Charles showed on his face, "I'm cute and smart at the same time." At the same time, he said, "Auntie, the land will be granted to me, okay?"

As a result, the expression on Victoria's face became more and more funny, and the hand rubbing Charles' head became more and more hard.
