Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Lux was preparing for the official launch of Forsbarrow Magic Academy. At the same time, thousands of miles away in Frostport, Ino was discussing supplementary trade issues with Ashe. sexual negotiation.

The so-called supplementary trade refers to the trade in hobbies including tobacco and tea between Forsbarrow and Freljord.

Unlike Fosbarrow's large oat-fur trade to Avarosa, the hobby trade did not originate from official demand between the Avarosa tribe and Forsbarrow, but the Avarosan people's desire for hobbies. Prompted by the needs and desires of the product.

Therefore, according to Ino, Avarosa only needs to provide a special sales venue for supplementary trade and prepare a special tent in Ningshuang Port.

But in Ashe's view, this is completely unacceptable.

Although she has never systematically studied business, Ai Xi still knows very well that her people should not—at least not now—directly trade with the Forsbarrow people. After communicating with Ino, she knows very well , most of the Avarosans are completely unable to compete with the Demacians in business.

Allowing hobby goods to be completely converted into retail sales will help the Forsbarrow people to exploit their own people!

Therefore, Ashe insisted on changing the nature of the hobby goods trade, requiring that whether it was tobacco or tea, the Forsbarrow people must trade with the Avarosa tribe, that is, the Avarosa tribe purchased it directly, and the Forsbarrow people No retail involved.

In Ashe's view, direct large-scale trade negotiations with Ino can greatly reduce the price of hobby goods. After purchasing a certain number of hobby goods, he can also stand in the perspective of the war mother and conduct intra-clan negotiations. distribution to prevent the previous problem of Avarosans fighting among themselves to purchase tobacco and tea, which resulted in higher commodity prices.

Obviously, Ashe has seen the meaning of "distribution". The previous oat trade with Forsbarrow not only improved the survival rate of the Avarosa people's Enuk calves and Yucal calves this year, but also made Ashe It is obvious that his control over the tribe has increased. Although he is still ignorant of the impact of trade, Ai Xi still chooses to hold the allocated power in his own hands.

As for Ai Xi's request, Ino put on a troubled look at the right time.

However, this "embarrassment" is actually just a negotiation tool.

In fact, from Forsbarrow's perspective, bulk trade is now easier to handle than retail trade.

Furthermore, despite the fact that the intelligence team is doing fine in Ningshuang Port, in fact, if Forsbarrow really wants to prepare a dedicated sales team to stay in Ningshuang Port to sell hobby products, in fact, Ino's Bian is not very confident either.

After all, judging from the information given by the intelligence team, the current Ningshuang Port actually has "no business environment". Even the Avarosans, who are already very talkative among the Freljordians, are They can also appear unreasonable when trading.

Take the furs they brought out in the previous small-scale trade. Regardless of the processing level or completeness of the furs, these Avarosa people stubbornly believed that the furs of prey of similar sizes should have the same price. .

(In other tribes, they even think that the furs do not need to be similar in size, and the furs should have the same price.)

For those prey that were hit in the chest by a single blow, the Avarosans would choose to preserve the wounds when skinning them to show the martial virtue of the hunter. But from Forsbarrow's point of view, this would only Let the quality of fur be degraded...

Therefore, from the beginning, Ino and Ashe had the same view on the form of hobby goods trade: at least for now, Forsbarrow cannot directly engage in retail sales in Ningshuang Port. It does not have the conditions and manpower; it only has As a war mother, Ashe can suppress these Avarosans when assigned.

But let's negotiate.

Although Ai Xi is a very smart person, she is still too immature - because she prematurely showed her unwillingness for the Forsbarrow people to come to Ningshuang Port to engage in retail, Ino took advantage of the situation and took advantage of this fact. The conditions that Sparrow was unwilling to accept were used as his bargaining chip.

For Ino, who has been baptized by Zaun's business, this kind of small method can be said to be easy to come by, but for Ashe, who is like a blank sheet of paper in trade, this is a high-priced tuition.

In business, although Ino admired Ai Xi very much, when it came to making profits, she would still help Forsbarrow strive for it as much as possible.

The more you earn from Ningshuang Port, the more construction funds you will need for Forsbarrow later on!

In this way, after five days of negotiations, due to the unequal level of trade negotiations between the two parties, Eno and Ashe finally concluded a supplementary trade agreement that was quite beneficial to Forsbarrow.

According to the new agreement, Fosbarrow and Avarosa will adopt the same form as the oat trade, using furs to trade tobacco. Forsbarrow will not interfere in the retail industry within Avarosa, and also promises not to sell goods to Avarosa. The Rosa people sold tobacco and tea directly.

But as a price, Avarosa made major concessions in terms of the price of hobby goods, and in terms of tea trade, it was necessary to use Zhenbing to settle accounts in accordance with Forsbarrow's requirements.

Considering that the new coins from both sides will be used starting this winter, the outflow of Zhenbing Shatter will undoubtedly give Forsbyro the ability to hoard a large amount of Northern coins in the future.

Ashe is willing to accept this, mainly because from her point of view, the Northern Coin can only be used as a supplement to the trade between the two parties, so even if the Forsbarrow people have a lot, it is not a big problem - anyway, the Avarosa tribe There is a limit to the amount of furs and other products that can be left over every year. No matter how much northern coins the Forsbarrow people save, they can't buy anything.

From Ino's point of view, holding a large amount of Northern coins, hobbies, and oats have successfully entered the market of Avarosa, which means that the entire Freljord will be hostile to Forsbarrow. Merchandise opens the door!

Maybe the Avarosa tribe doesn't have that many things to sell, but the Avarosa tribe is not the only one in the huge Freljord!

At this moment, Ashe has not yet realized what the "Northern Coin recognized by Avarosa and Forsbarrow" means to Freljord's still primitive trade system!

As long as Forsbarrow's supply is sufficient, and as long as tobacco, tea and other hobbies are recognized in the Freljord, then the Northern Coin will sooner or later become the only "legal currency" of the Freljord!

At that time, for Fosbairo who has the ability to mint coins, the seigniorage tax will allow them to collect money on the basis of trade!

……………………

After completing the negotiations, Ino delivered all the tobacco and tea leaves, took another large amount of furs, animal bone products and some special parts of dried animal meat, and set off on the road back to Forsbarrow.

On the way back, Ino was summarizing the gains from this trade negotiation.

At the same time, Lux in Fosbello was thinking about the issue of product sales.

After the last trade was completed, Ino, Lux and Sona held a meeting regarding the sales of fur products. Judging from the information collected by Lux and Sona, Demacia has a strong reputation in furs. The purchasing power is actually relatively limited.

The northern region needs fur to keep out the cold, but the northern region already produces fur.

The southern region does not produce fur, but their demand for fur is not too high.

In order to open fur sales channels, Lux and Sona proposed a method to create a fur trend through the Art Support Association and Kalya - believing that noble models and ladies of the Bouvier family would appear at banquets wearing elaborately designed furs. This move should cause many people to follow suit, thus triggering a wave of fur sales.

On this basis, Fosbairo can carry out the industrial reform of the fur industry, allowing fur to "enter the homes of ordinary people" and become a new pillar of Fosbairo.

However, the unexpected arrival of an angel completely disrupted Lux's arrangement.

There are very few members of the Art Support Association who are willing to come to the north, but now almost all the nobles in the capital of Demacia have set their sights on the Dawn Castle and the descending angel, seeing the art of opportunity. The workers no longer had any interest in Fosbairo.

In this case, if you want to rely on the demonstration effect to start a wave of fur consumption, unless Kyle also appears in public and wears fur produced by Forsbarrow.

News has come from Ino that the supplementary trade has been a great success. Fosbairo may have more furs put into storage, but the problem is that the sales place for the furs put into storage has not yet been found...

It happened that at this time, Kalya was not in Forsbello (taken by Shyvana to survey the artificial canal construction terrain), Sona was also very busy (it was very hard to teach the clerks), and now only Lux, the lord, herself Headache.

At the beginning, Lux was still thinking about whether it could be sold within Demacia, but after looking at the map and considering it area by area, she had to admit that if the fur trade was only carried out within Demacia, the scale would be huge. Time is destined to be limited.

Even if the furs from the northern trade and supplementary trade can be sold this year after advanced processing, such a large share of the furs in the future are destined to be unsaleable.

Since the method of creating the fur trend was stopped by the arrival of the angels, Lux's mind went crazy. When she started to think about "whether she could directly participate in the angels' arrival event", she was about to go crazy. Little Lowa's unintentional words inspired her a lot.

"Sister Lux, you said you have been to places outside of Demacia, so what is there outside of Demacia?"

"There are many outside Demacia, including Kalamanda, Uzeris, Nasramei, Belgun, and Vazuan..."

Wait, Vazuan?

Suddenly an idea flashed in Lux's mind, and she couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead.

O Vazuan!

Speaking of trade, how could we forget about Vazuan!

Excitedly rubbing the head of little Lowa who was confused, Lacus directly called Xisilia and asked her to take Little Lowa away first. Then she returned to the table and began to carefully recall her previous experience in the ancestors. The details of Ann’s life.

Then, the more she recalled, the more excited Lux ​​became - because she discovered that for Vazuan, the fur trade was a complete blue ocean market!

Due to its geographical location, although there are many trade routes through Vazuan, almost none of them produces furs.

The entire area along the Valoran Strait, whether it is the Shurima city-states on the south coast or the Noxian cities on the north coast, does not produce fur, and hardly consumes fur. After all, it is a tropical climate, and wearing mink is just to cover up heat rash.

But what if you look further afield?

Does Noxus need furs?

Does Ionia need furs?

Lux believes that the answer is yes.

The civil war in Noxus is now gradually ending. Although Lux, who is far away in Forsbarrow, does not know the specific situation of the civil war in Noxus, the last time she received the news was that "Darius The army has sighted the Immortal Fortress."

During the civil war, the entire Noxus was in an obvious posture of strategic contraction. As for Shurima, many city-states that originally wore the Noxian flag became independent and once again declared themselves Shurima orthodoxy. Under such circumstances, the life of the Northern Army on the front line of Fort Diver in the northern border of Noxus may not be easy, right?

Once there is a problem in the northern border, the fur production of the Noxians may also have a big problem!

In this way, it will become possible to sell the furs purchased by Forsbarrow to the northern border of Noxus through Vazuan!

In addition, Ionians should also be very interested in furs. After all, when she was in Zaun, she heard sailors who had been to Ionia say that in Ionia, which advocates balance, no matter how much trees are cut down, Hunting is strictly restricted, and outside the city of Ionia, there are various vastayas active everywhere.

From this point of view, I'm afraid Ionia's fur production will be very limited.

In Lux's impression, the Ionians are very wealthy, so such wealthy Ionians would not reject the cheap and high-quality furs from Demacia, right?

As her thoughts opened up, Lux's whole body felt suddenly enlightened.

I have always focused on the Freljord and the Freljord trade, but I was almost blind when I looked hard - in fact, my biggest advantage should be that I have traveled thousands of miles and faced Dema. It’s better to know something about places outside of West Asia!

It’s not okay to focus on one place!

Licking her dry lips, Lux opened her notebook and began to quickly write down everything she thought of.

Before I knew it, it was getting late.

When Lux finished writing all the trivial items she thought of and raised her head, she found that it was already dinner time.

Looking at the numerous notes on the notebook, Lux breathed a long sigh of relief. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and opened the memo, and added a very important note on it.

"Prepare a gift for little Lowa's enlightenment."

Then, after hesitating for a while, she finally crossed out "prepare a real question" and put away the pen and paper with some unfinished thoughts.

Now, it’s time to get something to eat!

Kalya's Little Classroom·Ionian Furs:

Lux's judgment about the Ionian fur market is very accurate. In fact, because of the Vastayans and the Kinkou, hunting and logging in Ionia are severely restricted, so most Ionians There is no chance to wear furs - considering that Ionia is probably the most densely populated place in Runeterra, it is indeed an amazing blue ocean market.
