Genshin Impact: Reject Camera, Replace Traveler
Chapter 546: Actually Wanting Economic Control
Gu Chen smiled meaningfully:
"Your Haizhi Island naturally has nothing to do with me, but now, Bayun Island is under my protection.
So, by helping your Haizhi Island, we are also helping Bayun Island."
Coral Palace was thinking about something, but Goro and Paimon really didn't understand.
Looking at their performance, Gu Chen simply said it more clearly:
"Didn't we promise before that Haizhi Island would compensate the people on Bayun Island?
This compensation has to be owed for the time being. Once your Haizhi Island earns enough money and has enough supplies, you can compensate the people of Bayun Island.
Therefore, in order for the people of Bayun Island to receive compensation as soon as possible, and so that this compensation will not be too far away, I cannot watch your Haizhi Island continue to be in poverty! "
After hearing the reason, Wu Lang grinned and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Paimon had a similar reaction, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
And Goro has already imagined the scene in the future.
After their Haizhi Island finally legalized the smuggling business and made a lot of money and supplies from the transaction.
This money and materials cannot be used to build the main island of Haizhi Island first, but should be used to compensate the people of Bayun Island first.
I finally made some money, only to lose it right after I sold it! This feeling...
Well, this is a bit discouraging, and Wulang is a little discouraged.
But he also understood that the masters of the Coral Palace had promised that compensation for the people of Bayun Island must be made in the future!
Alas... everything is determined by fate and we have no control over it!
Just when Wu Lang was feeling a little withdrawn, Gu Chen spoke again:
"Besides this reason, there is another reason why I am willing to help you, Haizhi Island.
If your Haizhi Island continues to suffer, and the people's livelihood becomes extremely difficult, and your people can no longer live smoothly...
No matter how firm their faith in Orobas was, they had to leave Haizhi Island and find a place more suitable for survival in order to survive.
Then the problem is coming.
For those who had no choice but to flee, where would be the best place for them to live? Where would they first choose to relocate?
Wu Lang's heart skipped a beat:
"Bayun Island..."
Gu Chen nodded:
"That's right.
Bayun Island is closest to Haizhi Island. The land here is suitable for farming. After sealing the evil spirit, the environment here is also very suitable.
With so many conditions combined, if the people of Haizhi Island are forced to flee, this must be their best choice!
However, the people of Bayun Island have a grudge against the resistance forces of you, Haizhi Island!
If the people here see that the people from you Haizhi Island have moved here on a large scale, they will definitely be unhappy.
Over time, conflicts will accumulate, and bloodshed may occur, leading to widespread chaos.
This is something I don't want to see.
Based on the above two reasons, I am willing to help you with Haizhi Island.
It’s because Haizhi Island is too close to Bayun Island.
It's so close that one move has to affect the whole body."
After hearing the reason why Gu Chen was willing to help Haizhi Island, Coral Palace Xinhai and Wulang were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Well, although this is the reason and although my feelings are complicated, as long as they can get help, it doesn’t matter.
but……
Coral Palace's heart thought deeply about it out of habit.
Is the reason really that simple?
Is it really just because of Bayun Island that Lord Yuzun is willing to help their Haizhi Island?
No, of course it's not that simple.
Gu Chen is a thick-skinned and black-hearted man. No matter what he does, he can't just look at the surface, he has to think deeply about it!
The two reasons he mentioned before were lies!
The real reason is that Gu Chen wants to take this opportunity to control Haizhi Island economically.
think about it.
Once the jewelry and grain business on Haizhi Island is completely legalized, similar businesses will surely expand further.
In such a business, who is the main player? Who is the dominant party?
The Southern Cross Fleet, of course.
In other words, of course it’s Liyue’s side!
Because although the jewelry trade is profitable, jewelry raw materials are not necessities after all.
However, the food that the Southern Cross team sells to Haizhi Island is a necessity for Haizhi Island. It is indispensable to Haizhi Island, otherwise the people on the island will starve.
once……
I mean once.
If the two parties in this business have a falling out in the future, and the Liyue side of the Nanshi Fleet takes the initiative to stop business, who will be the first to panic?
Of course it would be Haizhi Island!
I can’t sell the jewelry I have and can’t convert it into cash.
Even if you can turn it into cash, you can’t buy food, and you can’t eat jewelry and money!
No matter from which perspective, their Haizhi Island has been completely controlled by others, under the control of the Nanshi Fleet and Liyue!
You see, this is economic control.
There is no need for the Liyue officials to intervene. Beidou's Southern Cross fleet alone is enough to firmly control Haizhi Island, which is like strangling their throats!
Of course, after the two sides have been doing business for a long time, Haizhi Island will definitely see that they are being controlled by others, and they will definitely want to seek a solution.
However, the geography and environment of Haizhi Island meant that they had no way to break the impasse!
Haizhi Island is located in a remote area, and the only one qualified and capable of coming here to conduct large-scale cross-border trade is the Southern Cross Fleet.
There is no other semicolon except this one!
Although the environment of Haizhi Island is good, due to its sanctification, they have no local food production and no important supplies.
Even if they wanted to break the deadlock, the most they could do on Haizhi Island was to purchase some raw materials, then start developing local handicrafts, and then sell the products made by the handicrafts to make money.
But as for the raw materials, it is estimated that they will have to be provided by the Southern Cross Fleet. Isn't this still being strangled by the Southern Cross Fleet?
No matter how you think about it, there is no way out. No matter how you think about it, you are controlled by others!
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the situation on Kaijima...or the entire Inazuma, is now a bit like the life after World War II.
Life was difficult at that time, people's livelihood was in decline and everything was in ruins. There were Da Piaoliang troops stationed in the local area, and we were bullied by them from time to time.
There was really no other way out in this situation, so they began to rely on local manufacturing to seek economic recovery.
You know what, their economy really grew rapidly afterwards, to an unimaginable level.
When the small-time economy was at its most rampant, people even boasted that Tokyo alone could buy the United States!
The result...
The prosperity is only superficial, and the bubble economy bursts at the slightest touch. From the beginning to the end, they have been strangled by Da Piaoliang, and even now they are still being sucked dry by Da Piaoliang.
The relationship between Inazuma and Liyue now is probably similar to that period, Xiaozi and Da Piaoliang after World War II.
Let’s talk about Gu Chen again.
With such an opportunity coming right to his doorstep, how could Gu Chen not exert economic control over Haizhi Island?
