Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 72: The Enhancer's Retirement Attempt

The two businessmen were very satisfied with Emerald City, but they said they needed to go back to prepare. Many things needed to be moved, and the road conditions were bad in winter with heavy snow, so they agreed to come back in a month.

Qiansu stayed directly.

"Business is not good right now, I plan to take a break this winter."

The young businesswoman smoothed her wig bangs and talked about the current situation of the industry: "Customers naturally don't trust small businessmen. Many people think that we will run away after making a single order, which is indeed possible."

"The city is also wary of us, often calling us tax thieves behind our backs. But that doesn't make sense. To sell things, you need to set up a stall in a designated market location and pay a stall fee. There are special patrols there, and every transaction must be taxed on the spot."

"If I open a shop in a market town instead of a city, it will be difficult for me to recover the cost of selling weapons and goods like this. For this kind of business, I have to look for opportunities everywhere and actively look for customers..."

Opening a store in a big city is the best choice.

Those places have a large population, and various organizations with purchasing power have bases in major cities. In addition, there are also a large number of enhancers...but there is a small problem.

Too expensive.

This is a big problem for Qiansu personally.

Zhou Yi was puzzled: "Your business is aimed at enhancers, so the profit should be good. How come you don't have enough funds to open a store?"

"that is the truth."

Qian Su sighed, with a trace of worry on his face: "Commodities related to Yin Guang Shu are controlled goods transactions. Not only are the taxes extremely high, but you can only open a special store. It is very expensive to maintain such a store."

"If life didn't force us, who would be willing to travel around all the time every year? It would be great if your place became popular and developed into a big city, and my business would be better... I believe that day will come sooner or later."

Zhou Yi understood now.

She is a half-owner of Emerald City, so she doesn't have to pay rent, which saves her money. She is also optimistic about the development of Emerald City, thinking that the population here will increase, so she came here in advance to gain a foothold.

But introducing Qiansu to settle down is also beneficial to the promotion and development of Emerald City.

It is another way of introducing talents and settling down in the city.

"Let me ask you something."

Qian Su suddenly said, "Mr. Zhou, you want to build a new settlement here, right?"

Zhou Yi did not hide it: "I do have this plan."

“No wonder, first they reclaimed the farmland, then they encouraged people to come and try living here in the winter.”

Qian Su didn't seem surprised at all. She looked at him seriously and said, "Since you really want to build a new settlement, I believe that you can do it with your resources."

After all, the person in front of him is a celestial being.

Zhou Yi basically regarded her confidence as commercial flattery, and just said: "We still need to explore step by step."

"Mr. Zhou, I do have a small suggestion."

"Please say."

Qian Gu suggested: "Why not consider introducing some enhanced residents? They have a strong ability to accept new things, and their understanding and cognition of new things are at the forefront of the public."

"The Emerald City is open to the public, so it stands to reason that promoting it to them would have the best effect."

Zhou Yi thought about this question.

But he also has concerns.

It will be troublesome to manage the enhancers once they move in.

What if these guys do something outrageous? They have a criminal record and use the access control system to avoid external arrest, or use the power of the Emerald City to hunt monsters in the Dead Sea? That would be really troublesome.

It is entirely possible for them to do this.

Zhou Yi suddenly thought: "Is there a retired enhancer like Zheng Tao?"

"Have."

Qian Su frowned and thought for a while: "Sand Harbor itself is located in the marginal area, which is relatively stable. There are still many elderly enhancers who have left the front line, but they are all here to enjoy their old age... These people are only slightly stronger than ordinary people, and may be difficult to use."

This is not a problem.

Zhou Yi asked: "Can you find these people? If they are willing to come, they can live here for free for a long time. My idea for Jade City Building 3 is to turn it into a retirement and leisure residence."

“Retirement…leisure?”

Qian Su was suddenly stunned: "But, can this really make a profit? I mean, these people have already passed their peak, and the number of people they can influence is limited. They may not really be willing to help Emerald City."

"They themselves are resources." Zhou Yi patiently told the young man from the wasteland era: "These enhancers who have retired from the front line are at least experienced in a certain field, and this experience itself is valuable. If they move in, they will be equivalent to consultants of Emerald City."

"Another thing is that they have relatives, friends and old acquaintances, and these information networks are also resources."

"But this is just a concept. Whether it can be realized still needs to be confirmed in practice."

Qian Su's face showed a look of sudden realization: "No wonder there are such convenient and comfortable basic supplies inside, it turns out that they were aimed at the elderly from the beginning. For elderly enhancers who are not valued, this condition is indeed very attractive."

"I've heard a proverb before, 'Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.' As long as you capture those in the past, the present will be influenced by them. This strategy is very insightful."

Zhou Yi was not surprised.

Being able to do arms business on his own, Qiansu is an excellent wasteland businessman.

Many things can be done with just a little effort.

"I know what to do." Qian Su's eyes turned, and she seemed to have a plan: "I will try my best and will never let you give me a luxurious house for nothing."

She said goodbye in a hurry and drove the heavy truck into the snow.

……

Three more days passed.

The Red Falcon returned and brought back the upgraded mechatronic mouse.

Nemo's appearance remains basically unchanged, except that he wears a pair of round tactical goggles, his four legs have become more flexible claws, and there are two small white cylinders on his back.

"This is a spare claw, Chairman. The claw is my tool. If there is any problem with the claw, it can be replaced."

Nemo's synthesized voice is rather shrill: "Now I have equipped a voice module and a speaker with multiple basic languages built in. I can already have direct conversations with humans in most places."

"The Red Falcon and I have connected signals, and we can communicate quickly within a range of 10 kilometers."

"In addition, the Red Falcon customized this shell using the shape of my previous one. It is very thin and light, but has a D-level impact resistance. My speed, endurance and body strength have been greatly improved."

"Thank you very much for your money! I will definitely contribute all my efforts to the company!"

Zhou Yi was still satisfied with the result.

The Red Falcon reported the expenditure list through the remote control screen.

There are more than a dozen items in total, ranging from physical examinations to parts replacements and then to upgrading existing functions.

The total expenditure is 198 light species.

The Red Falcon continues its style and will try its best to make the most of any budget.

There is one more member that I didn't see?
Zhou Yi asked: "Where is the doctor?"

Kestrel said, “Da Vinci is already at work.”

Its camera was pointed towards Building 2 of Emerald City, where a group of people had gathered.

A tall mechanical body with four arms was flying, as if performing cutting surgery on a large milky white sphere, creating bursts of bright glare.

The one with four arms is Leonardo da Vinci.

The one who underwent surgery was Lie Hai.

Zhou Yi was puzzled: "What's wrong with Lie Hai? Why does he need surgery?"

"Wait a moment, I'll contact Da Vinci."

After two seconds of silence, Hong Jian said, "Da Vinci's scan found shrapnel in the Sea Hunter's body. It was caused by a special weapon and cannot heal itself. This has caused the Sea Hunter's body to be seriously affected. The energy consumption is far beyond the normal level of the Spine Hunter. It is very easy to get tired and weak, and is much weaker than a normal Spine Hunter."

"This internal damage will continue to have an impact, and the light organ will continue to deteriorate until it fails. The final result is that the Hunter Sea is contaminated by the death ray radiation and becomes a completely out-of-control monster."

"Leonardo da Vinci believed that the shrapnel must be removed as soon as possible and the light organ must be sutured and repaired,"

“It’s doing the cutting and suturing.”

Zhou Yi's heart trembled.

This turns out to be the reason why Sea Hunter itself is not strong enough.

so close.

It's always a good idea to have a doctor in a team.
