In the Pearl Star Territory, there are often some kingdoms between the major empires; the meaning of these kingdoms is very clear - buffer zones!
Development is king. The Pearl Star Region has developed for hundreds of thousands of years and even has a longer history. Of course, we understand this truth. Even if the high-end development of science and technology has temporarily encountered a bottleneck, it does not hinder the refined development and universal development of technology - allowing cutting-edge technology to gradually become civilian technology.
But as a huge empire in the interstellar era, it is inevitable that there will be various conflicts between countries; and it is very important to establish a buffer zone. In particular, if the other side suddenly launches a war, the kingdoms in the buffer zone can at least add a little preparation time for the empire behind. In the interstellar age, even one day's preparation time is precious.
It is this situation that leads to many kingdoms in the Pearl Star Territory. The weakest kingdom is even like the earth back then. There are several kingdoms in a galaxy or a planet. However, here in the Pearl Star Field, there are very few such kingdoms, and most of them are conquered civilizations. Generally speaking, the more common kingdoms are With one to three galaxies, a maximum population of about 10 million, and a certain level of technological power - :top:point:novel Unfortunately, the current earth civilization is at this stage.
In addition, there are some relatively powerful kingdoms, and they even have the power to threaten the empire. These kingdoms are often located in the corners of multiple empires, a bit like a delta. But in the universe, because it is a three-dimensional structure, there are many such cracks.
If the civilizations and countries in the Pearl Star Region are classified into different levels, they can be roughly divided into three levels. First step. It is the top ten empires, especially the four major empires among them; the second echelon is the general empires, the top 100 empires; and the rest are kingdoms.
In fact, the difference between the weakest empire and the most powerful kingdom is not that obvious; it’s just that the powerful kingdoms are usually within the Pearl Star Territory, between those empires with less than 20 people; and those with weak Empires tend to be on the edge of the Pearl Star Territory. In reality, the distance is too far to be comparable.
Today's White Frost Kingdom is a representative of the kingdom world. The White Frost Kingdom is located between the three empires of the Storm Empire, Tianyun Empire and Shining Empire; among them, the Shining Empire ranks 31st among the top 100 empires. , while the Gale Empire is ranked 88th and the Tianyun Empire is 97th; only the Gale Empire and Tianyun Empire combined can compete with the Shining Empire.
Of course, when it comes to numerical strength, one Shining Empire is certainly not as good as the other two empires tied together; but the inability of the two cooperating parties to be of the same mind is the biggest weakness.
That is, under such circumstances. The Baishuang Kingdom, which is at the transition of the Three Kingdoms, has both sides. It's actually developing well. However, the White Frost Kingdom is very self-aware and knows that it is difficult to do anything under the oppression of these empires. The king of the generation a thousand years ago decided resolutely that in addition to the necessary army to deter pirates. No real war armies! Make the kingdom a real business kingdom! The kingdom only has kings but no emperors - you dare to call yourself emperor!
And for this thousand years. It also proved the vision of the king back then. Because there is no war army, it has received the commitment and support of several empires; it has therefore become a paradise for free trade between the three empires; its reputation has even led more surrounding empires and kingdoms to come to set up commercial offices .
Because of this, the White Frost Kingdom is considered a commoner. They are all extremely rich. This seemingly non-army approach has brought the kingdom a huge amount of wealth! As long as the three empires still have commercial needs, the White Frost Kingdom will be extremely rich! It is simple and effective to suck blood from the three empires through commercial means.
The White Frost Kingdom has two galaxies, six living planets, and a population of more than 50 billion. The main race is the Hanshan people. It is said that their ancestors originated from the glaciers and cold fields. Their races are generally strong and strong, with thick subcutaneous fat. They are very They are cold-resistant and have naturally white hair like snow. Perhaps because of their living environment, this race is good at forbearing! ——This is an investigation of this race by earth civilization.
But even without an army, the White Frost Kingdom now has the power of three forward bases on Earth.
Similarly, due to commercial reasons and the fact that this place is relatively close to the South Gate Galaxy of Earth civilization, only about three light years away, a spacecraft using a warp engine and the special environment of the Pearl Star Field can make one trip and return for half a year; therefore, This place has also become the dumping ground for earth civilization!
Yes, dumping! From the perspective of earth civilization, there are limits to the needs of all countries in the universe and to everyone, but their purchasing power, etc., also has limits. Under such circumstances, it is one of the strategies of earth civilization to flood the market with a large number of cheap, high-quality goods!
Special-grade products are sold as first-class products, and first-class products are sold as second-class products... The prices of lower-grade products are even closer to the cost price!
One of the biggest costs of industrialized goods is energy consumption! The energy technology of earth civilization has provided the development of earth's industrial commodities with at least half the energy usage cost! Not to mention, today's Nanmen Galaxy uses a large number of robots and automated production because the earth's population is too small, further reducing costs. In addition, the methods used by earth civilization to collect metals, especially the mining methods of magnetizable metals, have further reduced the cost and price of metals. This mining technology that magnetizes the entire planet is also a dangerous destruction technology that has not been leaked to earth civilization!
In addition, there are transportation costs - in the final analysis, energy consumption is the main factor! Under such circumstances, for small items, the price of earth civilization products is at least 30% cheaper, and on average four cities cheaper; while for large items, such as spaceships, the price is 20 to 30% cheaper if the quality is not much different. In particular, the energy blocks and warp engine technology native to earth civilization always attract a large number of business travelers.
As for the unique mecha technology, Earth Civilization’s seven hundred years of meticulous craftsmanship is no joke. That kind of pinnacle product that combines technology and art, responsibility and quality, Earth Civilization’s asking price is: starting at 100,000 yuan! We only make high-quality products, and our price positioning is the most expensive in the universe!
This is an excellent rise plan, using low-priced products to plunder the world's wealth and impact market stability; using high-end products to establish your own brand and reputation! A set of combo punches came down. Let the civilization of the earth now be at home in the White Frost Kingdom!
The capital star of the Hoarfrost Kingdom, Hoarfrost, has a diameter of about 20,000 kilometers. However, because the planet contains less metal, the planet itself is colder, resulting in one-third of the world being covered by glaciers. Therefore, this planet The gravity on the planet is just a little bit more than the Earth's standard gravity. But the planet has a large surface area after all, and tens of billions of people live here.
Now on the equator of this planet, there is a huge base, even a small town! This place is. Huaxia City!
This is one of the many dumping sites set up by China in the Pearl Star Territory, bah bah. One of the many free trade centers, but due to geographical, political and other circumstances, this one is undoubtedly the largest! Because it is the White Frost Kingdom that rules here! And for the White Frost Kingdom. Just collect taxes. Nothing else has anything to do with you! therefore. He doesn't care about unfair business competition - as long as you don't fight, everything will be fine!
And this kind of strategy allows the earth’s civilization to do business here like a fish in water! On the six living planets of the White Frost Kingdom. Each planet has two to three commercial centers; of course the capital, Star Baishuang, is the most complete.
Through high quality and low price, door-to-door services, and good after-sales service, Earth Civilization has become one of the largest commercial organizations here in just five years! There are even rumors from the outside world that the White Frost Kingdom is preparing for a new business reform, and the reform ideas are based on consulting the people on earth.
But all this has nothing to do with the "White Cloud Summit" shopping mall! Ever since the earth's civilization entered the White Frost Kingdom, the White Cloud Summit Shopping Center has started to go downhill!
Compared with quality - what kind of quality can low-level goods have, it is just the cost price!
Price comparison - Earth civilization's excellent energy block technology allows earth civilization to save at least one-third of the cost, and this is only superficial data.
Better than service, this is a concept that has been around for a long time, but it was changed a lot by those hateful earthlings! Look what this is all about! Not satisfied? Guaranteed refund within one month! Bad quality? Every time a question is raised, it will be converted into a considerable reward, and you can get monetary compensation or tax-free goods; and the original goods can be replaced unconditionally. Whether the product is artificially damaged or the like, no one can find a problem with the service. Large items will be repaired within 12 hours! (Okay, taking the opportunity, humans on Earth promoted their own timing unit! This is actually a hidden invasion.)
Baiyun. Lan. Caiyunfei is a direct bloodline of the royal family of the Baiyun Empire. He is also the superficial person in charge of the White Frost Kingdom’s business and the controller of the Baiyun Peak Shopping Center. Although the people of the Baiyun Empire have some shortcomings in aesthetics, Baiyun, Lan, and Caiyunfei turned into a wild and enchanting moon! With a dark and lavender complexion, a slender tail, and a voluptuous figure, even to the aesthetic standards of earthlings, they are perfect. And Baiyun Lan Cai Yunfei is one of the more well-known beauties in the empire.
But now, their brows are furrowed, and the heads of various departments below dare not take a breath! The reason is simple. The Huaxia Shopping Center not far away is extremely popular, but my place has been declining for five consecutive years! This situation has caused a lot of dissatisfaction - from domestic factories or the royal family! Although the Baishuang Kingdom has a weak military force, it is rich in wealth. This is a market that the Baiyun Empire cannot give up! This is just economic significance.
If you take into account the geographical location of the White Frost Kingdom, there is no reason to give up. However, now, the shopping mall is empty, how miserable is it!
Standing on a high-rise building, you can see that after entering the White Cloud Summit Shopping Center, many people do not buy, but after taking a fancy to the goods, look at the price, and then bump into the runway of the shopping mall of Earth Civilization, and soon they see the Earth People actually used hover cars to send these buyers home alone!
Obviously, another successful example!
"We can't go on like this!" Baiyun Lan Caiyunfei kept telling himself in his heart! However, it has been four years since I said this, but it still doesn't change anything! Within the rules, people on earth are as cunning as foxes! Outside the rules - not everyone is qualified to try it! (To be continued...)
