Chapter 131 Is the cost of sea transportation high? Yu Chen's trick [two-in-one]

"This... seems to be the truth."

"As expected of Yu Chen, there is nothing wrong with what he said. Regardless of whether you are a resident of Sea God Island or not, who can refuse to live a good life?"

"As long as the civilian soul guides go there, they will definitely kill everyone."

"Yes! I believe it too."

Seeing Yu Chen was so confident.

But it was not just Ning Fengzhi who was persuaded.

At this moment, under the sky, all the spectators in Douluo Continent had the same reaction.

Some of those who had strong imaginations started to speak this time, and were even fantasizing wildly about the scene after Yu Chen unified the Sea God Island.

I heard them bragging like that.

Inside Shrek Academy.

Ning Rongrong and others who are Yu Chen's fans can still remain calm.

Some of the black fans who were already extremely unhappy with Yucheng naturally couldn't hold it in any longer.

This time, he didn't even wait for them to finish their words before he snorted and retorted.

"What do you mean by killing everyone? Is that too good to be true?"

"You really think Yu Chen is an omnipotent god who can do anything, right? You even ignore the objective facts."

When Tang San and his companions spoke,
His expression was sour, and he was obviously very unhappy about it.

Seeing their weird looks, Ning Rongrong naturally did not tolerate them.

He snorted coldly at first, and then complained again.

"No way, Tang San, you might be jealous of other things, but you can even question this matter?"

"Don't you know how terrifying Yu Chen's civilian soul guide system is? Compared to traditional soul guides, this thing is completely overwhelming, okay?"

"You also said that others can ignore objective facts. You should be talking about yourself."

Ning Rongrong became more and more angry as she spoke.

Seeing his appearance, Tang San opposite him was not angry at all. He sneered and then spoke, adding.

"Of course I know everything you said. But I also know that whether a thing can be popular depends not only on its effect but also on its price, especially since this thing is a so-called civilian soul guide that he intends to promote to all the people."

“Let’s not talk about whether the residents of Seagod Island will really like what Yu Chen has prepared. Even if they do like it, how to bring soul guides to Seagod Island in large quantities is also a problem.”

Yu Xiaogang had been unhappy with Yu Chen for a long time. Now that he had finally got the chance, he naturally would not give up.

So this time, Tang San’s words had just been spoken not long ago.

He then nodded and added solemnly.

"That's right. This is another crucial reason why the Spirit Hall failed in its previous expedition against the Sea God Island."

"The Sea God Island is surrounded by the sea and is extremely difficult to reach. Even elite spirit masters have to go through a lot of trouble to get there, let alone ordinary people.

You have to find a way to open up the trade route between Seagod Island and Douluo Continent. The effort you have to put in is probably much more difficult than you imagined. Even if you can succeed, it will definitely consume a huge amount of manpower and material resources. By that time, the civilian soul guides shipped to Seagod Island will probably be more than ten times more expensive than on the mainland. "

"If it was only two or three times more expensive, you would think that civilian soul guides would be popular on Sea God Island, but that's a full 10 times difference in money."

"If you were an ordinary citizen of Douluo Continent, would you spend 10 times the money to buy a civilian soul guide? Just because it can save you time and effort?"

"If you have this money, wouldn't it be more time-saving and labor-saving to just hire someone to farm or something?"

Yu Xiaogang's voice became louder and louder as he spoke, and his final question was so powerful that it spoke louder and louder.

"I……"

Ning Rongrong was naturally unhappy after hearing this, and wanted to refute something, but the words were on the tip of her tongue, and she couldn't say them.

Because he knew it deep down.

What Tang San, Yu Xiaogang and others said this time is the truth.

Fortunately, her depression did not last too long.

Because above the sky.

Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen raised the same doubts as Tang San.

And now facing everyone's doubts.

There was no trace of panic on Yu Chen's face.

At this moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Instead, he put on a faint smile again.

Although Ning Rongrong didn't know what solution Yu Chen was thinking of at the moment.

However, the moment he saw a smile on his face, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled back into his stomach.

Because based on his understanding of Yu Chen over this period of time, he knew very well that once Yu Chen showed this kind of smile on his face.

Then he must be confident.

I had already thought of a solution in my mind.

And the facts have proved that what he thought was not wrong at all.

Facing everyone's doubts at this moment.

Yu Chen then spoke without keeping anyone in suspense, and immediately explained the relevant issues and asked the people in front of him again.

"So 1000, 1. What everyone is most worried about is the transportation and cost, right? What if I say that I can control the cost of transporting the soul guide to the Sea God Island to only half of the cost of the Douluo Continent itself, or even only 1/2. How feasible do you think my plan is?"

He said this casually.

The people in front heard Yu Chen say this.

And they were all really scared.

Among them, Ning Fengzhi's reaction was the most intense.

After all, he is not only the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but also the master of the largest chamber of commerce in the entire Douluo Continent.

No one can understand the meaning of the four words "transportation cost" better than him.

He also knows better than anyone what kind of hard work and effort is required to reduce costs.

It is because I know how difficult it all is.

Now I felt extremely surprised to hear Yu Chen say this.

So much so that after coming back to his senses, his first reaction was not joy.

Instead, he felt that there was something wrong with Yu Chen's words and that he had said the wrong thing.

Then he not only pointed out the mistakes in his words, but also taught him about business.

"How much did you say it would cost, only half!?"

"No, Yuchen, are you thinking these things too simply?"

"That's sea transportation. The cost is not something you can reduce just because you want to."

"Not to mention the hardships and difficulties of this sea route, the labor cost itself is extremely high. If you want to reduce costs, you can either reduce the number of crew members or lower their wages.

But it's obviously not that easy for either of them to do it."

"Besides anything else, your transport ship is so big, you can't just put one crew member on it to escort it, right?"

"If you really look at it this way, it will easily lead to big problems."

Ning Fengzhi said this with a serious expression.

The words are somewhat extreme.

However, when Yu Chen heard him say this, he did not feel angry.

Because he could truly feel the love and care for him hidden in Ning Fengzhi's words at this moment.

There was also a little more smile on his face.

Then he calmly explained it to the other party again.

"Master Ning, you misunderstood. The way to reduce costs that I'm talking about right now is not to reduce the number of staff. From the perspective of reducing labor costs, not only will this not be able to effectively reduce costs and increase efficiency, but it is also very likely to do bad things with good intentions.

After all, sailing itself is an extremely dangerous thing.

In this case, repeatedly lowering the salary level of sailors will only suppress the other party's enthusiasm for sailing and greatly increase the danger of sailing.

So this time, I would say that not only would I not increase or decrease the number of sailing personnel on each transport ship, but I would choose to significantly increase the number of personnel and raise their salaries.

Because only if their salary level is kept at a relatively high level can the safety of the route be guaranteed to a certain extent.”

"You are right."

Hearing Yu Chen say this, Ning Fengzhi first nodded with approval.

Then he thought of what was there with a confused look and asked again.

"But you have to increase the number of sailings and raise wages. Doesn't this increase transportation costs?"

"Isn't this contrary to the goal you just proposed, which is to lower the sales price of civilian soul guides on Sea God Island?"

"How can this be called going against the grain?"

Seeing him like this, Yu Chen smiled even more happily and continued to explain with a calm face.

"It's true that I have added more people to each transport ship, but can't I just make the ship bigger so that it can transport more objects?"

As soon as he said this, many fans' eyes lit up.

Ning Rongrong didn't think much about it and immediately started clapping and cheering.

"Yes. As long as we make the transport ship bigger, wouldn't the previous problems be solved?"

However, as soon as he said this, Tang San beside him sneered and mocked him.

"What's right? No, you all think I'm an idiot, don't you? If this is the problem, it can really be solved so easily, why would you have to toss it into this state?"

"That's right. Do you really think that the Spirit Hall is an idiot? You can't even figure out such a simple question. If the ship can really be built as big as possible, then the problem would be much simpler."

"The point is that this is simply impossible to do, okay?"

Yu Xiaogang also agreed.

He shook his head repeatedly when he said this.

Even when he turned to look at Ning Rongrong, his expression became somewhat contemptuous.

Compared with the simple contempt and disdain of a few people here.

Ning Fengzhi's expression on the sky seemed much more natural at that time.

He spoke even more slowly and patiently explained to Yu Chen.

"The size of a wooden ship has reached its limit. If you want to make it bigger, it will be difficult to even find the right wood."

He said this without even waiting for Yu Chen to reply.

His father Yu Yuanzhen, who had been silent from the beginning, also spoke up and echoed.

Obviously, both of them thought that Yu Chen lacked the relevant common sense about sea and land transportation.

Seeing these two people react like this,

Yu Chen felt amused and helpless at the same time.

He opened his mouth to explain once again.

"Is it possible that the ship I'm talking about isn't made of wood?"

However, this time, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the teasing of Yu Yuanzhen beside him.

"What else can we use as raw materials? Wood? What else can we use to build ships? We can't use iron."

He said it unintentionally, but when Yu Chen heard him say it, his eyes lit up.

Then he nodded solemnly and continued.

"Don't tell me, you actually guessed it right. The material I want to use to build the ship this time is steel!"

Yu Chen nodded after saying this.

His expression was one of determination and firmness.

He was determined.

After hearing what he said, the expressions of the people under the sky changed drastically.

I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"what?"

"What is it, steel?"

"Crazy, crazy, Yu Chen has really lost his mind and gone mad."

"That's right. How can a piece of iron float on the water? Isn't this common sense? What happened to Yu Chen? How come he can't even figure out such a simple thing?"

"That shouldn't be the case. With Yu Chen's knowledge, how could he make such a low-level mistake?"

As everyone spoke, they were stunned and a little disappointed.

It was obvious that these words coming from Yu Chen's mouth were extremely inconsistent with his knowledgeable personality.

Compared with the people around him, the surprise and astonishment he showed at this moment.

Another group of people thought this was very reasonable.

Within an acceptable range.

"How is this impossible?"

"There is no one in this world who knows everything. Although Yu Chen has some knowledge of broadcasting, it is only limited to the knowledge of soul masters. It is normal for him to be lacking in this aspect."

Tang San and others obviously belong to the latter.

This time when he said this, there was a hint of self-satisfaction in his words.

Yu Xiaogang became even more excited. He wanted to take this opportunity to destroy Yu Chen's image as a top student.

It’s a pity that he hasn’t gotten proud of it yet and hasn’t taken any further action.

Reality was like a ruthless slap that had hit him hard in the face.

Because above the sky, everyone is being reminded at this moment.

Yu Chen did not show any expression of sudden enlightenment as if he had just learned about this matter.

Instead, he explained solemnly with a smile on his face.

"Of course I know. Iron blocks are far less buoyant than wood. This is basic common sense."

"But is it possible that it's not that I'm wrong, but that common sense is at fault?"

"A one-kilogram iron block is indeed easier to sink into water than a one-kilogram wood, but this is not simply a matter of weight, but has a lot to do with the volume in contact with the water surface?"

"It has to do with what... the volume in contact with the water surface?"

The more Yu Chen spoke, the more serious his expression became.

Look at how confident he is.

The expressions on the faces of the few people who were suspicious just now inevitably changed a little.

Finally put away the contempt.

He put on an attitude of listening attentively.
