Chapter 157: I, Qin Luo, Will Shield You from the Wind and Rain!

"Must think of a good way!"

Qin Luo fell into deep thought, ignoring the chat information in the group, and did not reply to the conversation.

Now he is facing a dilemma. If he chooses to stand on the side of the majority, the Resource Trade Alliance he worked so hard to establish will definitely fall apart, and the Red Iron price will definitely fall to the bottom like the previous food.

Doing so, besides getting some so-called "forgiveness and friendship of all lords," there is no benefit at all.

Not only the resource merchant lords, but Qin Luo's own interests will also be seriously damaged.

And continuing to stand on the side of the Resource Trade Alliance, his commodities cannot be sold at all, and he is boycotted by all lords, and no one buys his things at all.

Now the solutions Qin Luo can think of are a few. One is to trade privately with other lords, and not trade with energy points, but barter, each taking what they need.

For example, exchanging some monster corpses with those Transcendental Lords, which can consume a batch of metal resources.

However, the efficiency of this kind of trading is too slow, and it is estimated that he will waste his whole day on this.

And not every Transcendental Lord is willing to trade with him, especially when Qin Luo is in such a difficult situation.

After all, there are many bad people who kick someone when they are down, and there are not many good people who send charcoal in the snow.

The second is to keep the metal resources for his own use.

Qin Luo now needs to consume a very large amount of metal resources every day, not to mention upgrading the territory or barracks, just recruiting units also requires a large amount of metal resources.

However, he occupied so many mineral deposits, producing a large amount of metal ore every day, and relying on his own territory, the output simply cannot be used up.

What's more, Qin Luo also needs to buy other resources from the market, which requires a large amount of energy points.

The third is to let other merchants sell on his behalf.

This is also an effective solution mentioned by some lords in the Resource Trade Alliance group chat.

But in this way, there is an extra trading process, which will generate extra handling fees, and this handling fee is definitely borne by Qin Luo.

The trading handling fee is not low, about 10% of the commodity value, specifically measured and judged by the system.

This is the most stable solution among several solutions, with the least loss!

But even with this plan, the energy points Qin Luo earns are far less than other merchant lords.

This is equivalent to him sacrificing his own interests to maintain the interests of hundreds of thousands of Resource Trade Alliance merchant lords.

To be honest, Qin Luo still can't do such selflessness, sacrificing himself to fulfill others.

After some deep thought, Qin Luo also thought of a good way.

Since so many lords united to boycott Qin Luo's commodities, but don't forget, Qin Luo is not fighting alone; he has a group of merchant lords behind him.

The people behind the scenes who posted the posts attacked and targeted Qin Luo, not targeting all lords of the Resource Trade Alliance together, just to split Qin Luo from the Resource Trade Alliance.

Since this is the case, Qin Luo must not let them get their wish.

After Qin Luo perfected his method, he opened the group chat again and turned on the mute mode, only the group owner can speak.

For a time, the lords who were chatting and discussing found that they couldn't speak!

【Good evening everyone, I believe everyone understands what happened today!】

【Regarding the posts on the forum, I have also read them. This is indeed a conspiracy aimed at the Resource Trade Alliance!】

【On the surface, this conspiracy seems to be aimed only at me, but in reality, it is aimed at all the Lords in our Resource Trade Alliance. They want to disintegrate our alliance from within by creating conflicts between me and everyone present, to bring down our Resource Trade Alliance, and to make us unable to maintain our monopoly, all to achieve the true goal of lowering the price of Red Iron!】

【They targeted me because of my status as the group owner and initiator, and they wanted to use me as a breakthrough point. Once successful, our hard-won high-priced Red Iron will definitely be broken. The interests of all lords present, including me, will definitely be damaged!】

【In this regard, I must never let them get their wish. No matter what, as the group owner, I will firmly stand on the side of the Resource Trade Alliance, stand in front of you, shield you from the wind and rain, and bear this public opinion storm for you!】

After Qin Luo forbade others from speaking, he began to speak, first clarifying that someone was targeting them, and pulling everyone to the same front, telling them that it seemed like someone was targeting Qin Luo alone, but in fact, it was targeting all merchant lords.

Let everyone know the pros and cons.

Once Qin Luo falls, their business will inevitably be seriously impacted and cannot be spared.

【As the group owner, I, Qin Luo, promise here that I will always stand on the same front as you, keep the price consistent with everyone, and will never lower the price for sale privately!】

【Everyone can say whatever they have to say, you can speak now!】

After Qin Luo finished speaking, he lifted the mute permission.

【Lord Qin Luo is wise, too righteous!】

【The big shot is the big shot, deep in righteousness, I really didn't misread you!】

【Too good, as long as the big shot doesn't lower the price first, we won't lower the price either. Let's see who can't hold on first!】

【They thought too simply, and also underestimated the big shot @Qin Luo131415. They actually thought that by relying on a few posts to exert pressure and guide public opinion, they could defeat Lord Qin Luo and want to crush our Resource Trade Alliance. It's simply a dream!】

【Ah, it turns out that the post was not just aimed at Qin Luo, but actually wanted to mess with us? If Lord Qin Luo hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known, I've been eating melons!】

【Me too, I didn't think too much. Now that I think about it, once Lord Qin Luo lowers the price, wouldn't our Resource Trade Alliance fall apart? More importantly, once the Resource Trade Alliance dissolves, we will never be able to maintain high prices again!】

【Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? You don't even know this?】

【It is indeed that some people didn't figure it out, only thinking that those posts were aimed at Lord Qin Luo alone. In fact, they wanted to use Lord Qin Luo as a breakthrough point to suppress the price of Red Iron. I guess this is just the first step of their plan, and there are probably more follow-up moves!】

【What should we do then?】

【Rest assured, with Lord Qin Luo in front, we can enjoy ourselves in the rear and continue to sell goods and make huge profits!】

【But, isn't Lord Qin Luo's sacrifice too big? I see that his commodities have never been sold. Wouldn't the development of his territory be greatly restricted!?】

【Lord Qin Luo made sacrifices for our Resource Trade Alliance. We can't just watch Lord Qin Luo fall!】

【That's right, we must support Lord Qin Luo. We can't just support him verbally. @Qin Luo131415, tell us what we should do. We must contribute, otherwise I will feel uneasy!】
