It's very simple. Since we knew that such a powerful character would appear, isn't this sea trade still unstable...
Of course, I guess... I guess that although these pirates are powerful, they should not dare to come into contact with Li Er's imperial army.
But in this case, doesn’t Haitrade still have to follow Li Er’s baton? This...
This is not good...
After all, if the fleet is wiped out, doesn’t it mean that no matter how much business skills and ideas are understood, there will be no profit?
Wang Jing thought of this, so he said it directly, feeling very confused in his head.
And when he said this, Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe, Zheng Taishan, Lu Changgeng and everyone on the side also nodded, nodding vigorously.
Obviously, there is no doubt that other people have also thought of what Wang Jing said. Everyone has this doubt.
The risk is controllable because of strong military equipment, but since it is a risk, there will always be times when it cannot be controlled. Isn't this still an overturn?
But this time...
As a top celebrity, Pei Ji's business talent and IQ endowment were once again revealed.
Pei Ji smiled slightly.
"Brother Wang, this kind of thing doesn't happen every day."
Pei Ji's first sentence directly pointed out the biggest feature of black swan risk - it does not happen every day!
And since black swans don’t happen every day, then...
"And since these powerful pirates won't come to us every time, then they have to find some merchant ships to plunder, right?"
"In this case, why should we worry?"
Pei Ji's first sentence directly pointed out the key point of the whole matter, and then he directly summed it up and started to attack, which made Wang Jing and others not aware of the seriousness, with a look of confusion on their faces...
…
But the first sentence still woke everyone up.
Soon, Wang Jing was the first to react, his expression changing from confused to shocked——
These are two expressions that look similar, but are actually different.
Wang Jing suddenly realized it!
After Pei Ji said this, Wang Jingcai suddenly understood...
"yes……"
Thunder and lightning flashed in his mind, and Wang Jing murmured!
"These top pirates don't come every time...If that's the case, can we think that this is just a case of more pirates?"
"In this case..."
Wang Jing muttered this, but Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe and others still didn't react. They didn't know what the two Riddlers were doing.
But Wang Jing's muttering made Pei Ji burst into laughter.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Brother Wang is right. The key to this matter is not how powerful these pirates are, but that these pirates will not pop up every time!"
This time, what Pei Ji said was really clear enough. And when he said it, Li Tiancheng and others also reacted, and they all showed signs of surprise!
"yes……"
"These pirates don't just pop up from the ocean every time we send out a fleet!"
"The whole army is wiped out once, but there is always a successful trade next time?"
"And they won't just rob us, other merchants will also suffer? So..."
That said, it's very simple.
Since these strange pirates don't appear every time, trade can continue!
Profits can still be obtained!
And if this situation continues or even worsens, then the prices of overseas goods will even further skyrocket. If Wu Xing Qi Wang can find a way to avoid these pirates, or compete with them, or negotiate with them, then it would be extremely exaggerated.
The huge profits can even reach higher levels!
This is trade. In the past, when Great Britain was at its peak, it still attracted countless elites to board ships and go to sea for no other reason than huge profits.
And when I think about it...
Wang Jing, Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe... everyone immediately stopped feeling depressed and even felt a little excited!
After all, the forces of Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are so powerful that even if a junior-level pirate appears by chance, so what?
Let's reorganize our weapons and improve them further. No matter how powerful this pirate is, he has no ability to devour the fleet of Five Surnames and Seven Wangs again.
At worst, everyone just pools money to build a few warships for escort. How can ordinary pirates survive? By then, it will be really developed.
Thinking of this, Wang Jing and others became completely excited, and no longer looked as depressed as before!
But at this moment, Pei Ji didn't forget to pretend.
"Hehe...Brother Wang, and all the brothers, in fact, things in the world are like a chess game. There are ups and downs, gains and losses... We are all famous and wealthy families in China, how can we be fooled by this mere pirate?"
Sleepy?"
Pei Ji directly pointed out another key point in this matter.
In the grassy and powerful world, our Five Surnames and Qi Wang are the ceiling. As long as the Five Surnames and Qi Wangs really exert their strength, Li Er will also have a headache. How can the pirates withstand it?
By then, the South China Sea will still be able to come and go without any hindrance!
By that time, the huge profits will skyrocket again!
And under the mysterious smile on Pei Ji's face, there was something he didn't say.
That is, if Qi Wang of the Fifth Surname really spends money to upgrade the fleet's armament, then these reckless and heroic pirates from all walks of life will have no choice but to look back and sigh in front of Qi Wang of the Fifth Surname, without any profit.
But it is impossible for pirates to go on a hunger strike, so what will they do? That's right...
Other merchants!
In other words, the improvement in the armament level of the fleet of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes will not only reduce the cost of their own trade, but also lead to an increase in the frequency of pirate attacks on other merchants. In this way——
Other merchants are completely blocked. Think about what it would be like to get involved among pirates directly for "meat tickets"...
As a result, the price increase trend of overseas exotic goods will increase to another level.
This huge profit is simply not one more level, but two more levels!
Isn’t this blood money?
But Pei Ji didn't say anything about this part. After all, it was up to Wang Jing and others to decide how to arrange the fleet's armament.
Now the fleet of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes is not small. To improve the armaments cannot be achieved by "reorganization". It will require spending real money, not to mention directly building escort warships, which is even more expensive.
Pei Ji saved this idea. Since this time he once again relied on his extraordinary understanding of the game to help everyone survive the crisis, he might as well save this kind of high-intelligence and high-value advice for next time...
Live your life in a slow and steady manner...
With a smile on his face, Pei Ji thought about it, and then everyone started talking...
"So, brothers, there is no need to panic. These are all technical adjustments..."
…
And at the same time.
Chai Shao has already counted the harvest he got from the mission.
The results of the inventory were quickly sent to the second party through a new thing called a "telephone"...
Li Er, who was far away in Chang'an, was currently discussing matters with Wei Zheng and others in the Manlu Palace.
