Chapter 156: Is Qin Luo a Breakthrough Point? The Reaction of Merchant Lords!
These two posts were published at noon today, which was when he was asleep.
As for the various resources like Red Iron sold last night, they were sold out before dawn, so they were not affected.
And because Qin Luo slept for most of the day, he didn't know that such a big thing had happened on the forum.
In the Resource Trade Alliance group, many people and friends were sending messages to Qin Luo.
But after Qin Luo woke up, he was too busy with the territory's affairs to have time to look at these messages.
But it must be said that these two posts were specifically aimed at Qin Luo, and they attracted widespread attention as soon as they were published.
And secretly manipulated public opinion to point the finger directly at Qin Luo himself, placing him on the opposite side of countless lords, as if he were a heinous sinner.
As for the existence of the Resource Trade Alliance or related information, it was rarely mentioned, and few people paid attention to it.
Obviously, the person behind the scenes used this carefully arranged means to target Qin Luo.
First, Qin Luo caused public anger. After all, the price of Red Iron is so high, and billions of lords must spend a very high price to buy it. This accumulated anger points directly at Qin Luo, making him the object of all hatred.
Then, by calling on all lords not to buy Qin Luo's commodities, they cut off Qin Luo's retreat and cut off his income of energy points. This can be called a big ruthless move.
After all, energy points are extremely important resources for any lord.
After several big sticks were knocked down, they gave Qin Luo a big date. As long as Qin Luo completes the few things in the second post, they can let him go.
Instead of beating Qin Luo to death, they didn't give him a chance to "repent and turn over a new leaf."
This is a very smart approach, at least leaving Qin Luo a way to live. If Qin Luo saw no hope, he would definitely choose to fight to the end.
Most importantly, their goal is very clear: it is Qin Luo. By defeating Qin Luo, they are looking for a breakthrough to break the monopoly of high-priced Red Iron.
As for the Resource Trade Alliance and other merchant lords, the post didn't mention too much, just briefly skipped over, and guided public opinion to target Qin Luo, the culprit.
And if it weren't aimed at Qin Luo alone, if it were aimed at the entire Resource Trade Alliance from the beginning, it would only make all merchant lords in the Resource Trade Alliance more united, becoming an indestructible alliance, continuing to unite together and implement monopoly behavior.
In this way, Qin Luo is at the cusp of the storm, while other merchant lords continue to hide behind, not affected at all.
This will make Qin Luo and the lords of the Resource Trade Alliance on the verge of splitting and dividing.
Especially Qin Luo himself, who must have unbalanced thoughts.
Qin Luo now can't sell things, so he can only lower the price for sale, otherwise the only one who loses is himself.
And this is also what those lords want to see. Even if Qin Luo only lowers the price by a little energy, it can break the alliance system of the Resource Trade Alliance and break the price of Red Iron.
Most importantly, Qin Luo, as the group owner and initiator, has high prestige. Once he does this, his hard-won prestige and reputation will fall to the limit.
Moreover, the Red Iron price that the Resource Trade Alliance worked so hard to maintain was broken because Qin Luo lowered the price. The ones whose interests were damaged were other resource merchants.
When everyone is making huge profits together, not all merchant lords will thank Qin Luo.
But once Qin Luo's behavior damages their interests, it will definitely arouse the hatred and hostility of all merchants and cause public anger.
This is extremely unfavorable for Qin Luo's future development.
Let alone using the people of the Resource Trade Alliance for his own use, once Qin Luo's territory is exposed in the future, it will probably attract joint attacks from merchant lords.
Stabilizing the Red Iron price was originally a moat that Qin Luo and the lords of the Resource Trade Alliance built together to maintain their interests.
Now it has become Qin Luo's life-taking rope. Once metal resources cannot be sold, Qin Luo cannot profit from a large amount of energy points, and the development of the territory will definitely be greatly restricted.
At this time, Qin Luo is facing a dilemma.
To be honest, the person who could think of this method is really amazing.
Regardless of whether Qin Luo lowers the price or not, his prestige and reputation will definitely fall sharply, and he will offend one side of the lords at the same time.
"The person who could think of this method is simply amazing!"
"Although it seems to have left me a way to live, no matter which one I choose, it is a 'dead end'!"
"Even, once I do it according to their method, not only will I lose the important alliance of the Resource Trade Alliance, but I will also offend a large group of merchant lords!"
"And these people, although they didn't force me to lower the price by how much, once the price shows a downward trend, they will definitely use various means to lower the metal price!"
"Even if I get the forgiveness of many lords, but once the metal resources fall, my basic market will also be damaged, and I will never be able to earn a large amount of energy points like before!"
Qin Luo suddenly had a headache. It was only one day, who knew that such a big thing would happen.
Although he anticipated that there would be a storm against high-priced Red Iron, it would affect the hundreds of thousands of lords of the entire Resource Trade Alliance.
But who would have thought that the Red Iron storm arrived as scheduled, but it was aimed at Qin Luo alone.
"Is this preparing to use me as a breakthrough point?"
Qin Luo thought for a while and opened the Resource Trade Alliance group chat.
Although the post was published at noon, the public opinion broke out in the afternoon. Even at night, many lords were still discussing it in the group.
Especially since Qin Luo listed a wave of commodities not long ago, it pushed the discussion to a small climax.
There were many people in the Resource Trade Alliance @ Qin Luo. Some were comforting him, while others expressed that Qin Luo, as the group owner, should set an example and not lower the price.
There were also people secretly warning Qin Luo that once he lowered the price, he would become a sinner of the Resource Trade Alliance.
By then, they would no longer be allies, but enemies!
Although more lords were comforting Qin Luo with good words, and some were helping Qin Luo think of ways and proposing some response plans.
But how many of these are sincere and how many are fake is unknown.
In addition, there were some lords in the group waiting to see the joke.
Although Qin Luo established the Resource Trade Alliance and maintained the Red Iron price, allowing everyone to profit huge interests, not everyone thanked Qin Luo. There were many white-eyed wolves coveting Qin Luo's position, wanting to replace him.
And if Qin Luo made a mistake, it would give these careerists a chance to step on Qin Luo and become the leader of the Resource Trade Alliance.
In short, the lords of the Resource Trade Alliance looked harmonious and united, but who knows what they were thinking in their hearts.
Qin Luo glanced at the number of people in the group chat. In these few days, the number had already broken through the 100,000 mark and reached more than 300,000!
Sure enough, there are too many lords, mixed with fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of people!
Subsequently, Qin Luo used the group owner authority to close the permission for members to invite others to join the group, and closed the application for joining the group... cutting off all channels that could join the group.
