  Chapter 243 is a win-win situation, so of course it all must

night.

Since the Boss went to discuss business and has not returned yet, the caravan camped in the open space outside the south gate of the outpost.

Being caught by the smell of the north gate of the outpost, two caravan guards slipped out of the camp while they were eating, wanting to exchange their chips for something to eat.

However, what made the two of them didn't expect was that when they swaggered out their chips and slapped them on the table, it was not the flattery and flattery of these hillbillies.

On the contrary...

Dislike it?

The two of them froze for a moment.

Is it a mistake?

"Mother skin, why is this kind of plastic sheet again?"

Zhang Hai, who turned his back to the customer, foul-mouthed, raised his fist moistened with flour and knocked Knock on the price board next to it, and speak in non-standard people's joint language.

"Chips, ten."

Ten chips? !   The eyes of the two caravan guards were all rounded, and they suspected that they had heard it wrong.

Their daily salary is only ten chips!

And this is the time of attendance.

A meal in Boulder City can be eaten with 5 chips. The chips in the surrounding survivor settlements will be more valuable. Usually 3 chips can be very full.

A bowl of noodles requires ten chips, which is really unheard-of!

"Ten chips?! Did you make a mistake?"

"Damn it, are you too dark?"

"Do you think we are deliberately finding fault from other places?"

However, Zhang Hai, standing in front of the booth, was indifferent to the two complaints and protests, and his expression did not change at all.

What all players know, that kind of white plastic sheet can be exchanged for Silver Coin, only two can be exchanged for one. Isn't it unreasonable for five Silver Coin ramen to sell ten chips?   This is very reasonable!   I have confiscated their handling fees, it is generous enough, OK?

Of course, it's mainly because Zhang Hai didn't understand what the two of them were talking about.

Otherwise, he will definitely scold him back.

I smiled.

Who is he afraid of if his mouth is stinky?   The players next to it are watching the excitement and discussing curiously.

"What are these two NPCs talking about?"

"I guess it's cursing Old Zhang's ramen for too dark."

"Hahaha, deserve it!" Good scolding! I wanted to scold you a long time ago!"

"Wait, I'll remember what they scolded first."

"Why do you remember that stuff?"

p>

"Call it when you are in war, otherwise you will be a shit, and you won't understand you when you call it, and you think you are uneducated. It's better to learn the dialect of the NPCs, and you will have an imposing manner when you shout!"

"Fuck! Good brother, you can teach me if you learn it!"

On other people's territory, the two guards didn't dare to cause trouble.

even more how so many eyes watching.

The two foul-mouthed a few words, and then went to other stalls.

However, what caused them to collapse was that the situation in other stalls was the same. The prices were all too expensive, until they finally found a person who could communicate with each other, and then asked them clearly why.

"If you use a bargaining chip, it will be twice the price." Qiu Cao took out a Silver Coin and shook it in front of the two of them. "Those blue coats use this coin to trade."

The autumn leaves squatting next to the elder sister are also nodded hard.

"That's right! This is their currency!"

The two caravan guards glanced at each other with a bewildered look.

What coin is this?   See you for the first time after they have been to so many places.

"I'll give you two chips, can I sell this Silver Coin to me?" the caravan guard who kept the beard asked tentatively.

Qiucao shook the head, tactfully refused.

"It's useless if we want this."

Qiuye forcefully nodded.

"That's right! You'd better find Xiaoyu to change it!"

The two caravan guards: "..."

The entire Qingquan City actually paid it back Is there a place where the chips are not in circulation?

What a surprise!

And who is Xiaoyu?

Not far from the side, Zhang Hai, who was underneath, raised his head and took a look. He just saw the two NPCs moved towards the market just walking outside, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Which country do these NPCs come from? Why are they so poor."

A bowl of ramen can't be eaten.

Even if you don't buy it, I've been beeping at him for a long time.

He thought there was a hidden mission.

Holding a bowl and sipping the noodle soup, the escaped Mole in the Canyon glanced at him and said.

"You didn't catch up with the good time. Before the'Land Xingzhou' expansion, when the people from the company first came here, the kind of paper they gave could be exchanged for 100 Silver Coin."

Zhang Hai smacked his tongue.

"100Silver Coin? It doesn't feel much."

The spirit King is rich and honored and rolled the eyes.

"Less Versailles, we are talking about Silver Coin a few versions ago, can it be compared? At that time, the liver only had 10 Silver Coin a day!"

Construction Site Boy and Brick "Hey, I miss the time when I had a bowl of mushroom soup with 5Copper Coin."

The canyon is on the run. Mole gave him a sideways look: "Come on, it hurts for a long time for a shot. You are sure to return Is it the old version?"

The construction site boy and the brick scratched their heads.

"Uh, forget it."

If you think about it this way, the new version is still fun.

It’s so cool to rush forward with a light machine gun tú tú.

On the other side, the two caravan escorts who slipped out and left the market went straight back to the camp.

Originally, they planned to sneak in without people paying attention, but it happened that their Captain was standing at the gate of the camp.

The expressions of the two of them were instantly embarrassed, but Naihe had already met their sights, and could not pretend not to see them, they could only brace oneself and walked over.

Staring at the two of them with that penetrating electronic eye, Han Long said blankly.

"What did you two do?"

The young guard was hesitant for a long time and could not speak, but the older guard responded quickly and said quickly.

"Report Captain, we are going to inquire about intelligence!"

Han Long looked at the two.

"What information?"

"Prices! We are understanding local prices!" The slightly older guard continued quickly, "The consumption level here is high. It's ridiculous, they actually need ten chips for a bowl of noodles!"

Another guard reacted and quickly spoke.

"Yes, and they don't use chips here. They trade with something called Silver Coin. It takes two chips to exchange for a Silver Coin, which is simply too expensive!"

Two chips for a Silver Coin?   Han Long frowned slightly.

This is interesting information, and I can tell the Boss in a while.

But...

One code is one code.

Staring at the two men blankly, Han Long said slowly.

"According to the rules of the caravan, leave the camp at night without permission, and be fined a week’s salary. For the second time, all wages will be forfeited and the caravan will be expelled."

"If you leave the camp next time I found that you violated discipline, you should know what it means."

Being stared at by that electronic eye, the two shivered involuntarily, then bowed their heads and said nervously.

"Yes..."

"We don't dare anymore."

In Boulder, it’s not easy to find a decent job, generally The caravan will not randomly recruit a few people of unknown origin into the team, let alone risk being put together by a competitor to recruit those who are expelled by other caravans.

Those who were expelled from the caravan and did not have any skills, usually there are only two ways to go.

Either go to the factory and get a screw, with a barely subsistence salary, until one day you can't do it, and you die in an alley that no one cares about.

Either become a mercenary, do whatever the employer asks you to do, and use your life to exchange chips.

This threat is still very important!

The two walked towards the camp with heads down.

Han Long did not look at the two of them, but continued looking towards the direction of the South Gate.

It has been more than two hours.

Boss has not returned yet.

His brows were lightly frowned, and when he was wondering whether to find someone to inquire about the situation of the boss, his electronic eyes suddenly moved slightly and locked to the north.

Soon, a familiar silhouette came into his eyes.

Looking at the Boss coming back from the north, Han Long was finally relaxed and greeted him.

"Boss, you are finally back, and I plan to let people find you."

"Don't be so nervous, I have a good relationship with the people here."

p>

With a flamboyant expression on his face, Liszt looked at his right-hand man and continued, “Call me Qianduo and Qianlai. I’m waiting for them in the tent. I have important things to do. Explain to them."

Although he was curious about what was going on, Boss didn't take the initiative to say it, and Han Long didn't ask much, and was neatly nodded.

"Yes."

……

Liszt, who returned to the tent, did not wait long.

Soon, the curtain of the tent was opened, and two people, one tall and one short, came in.

"Boss, are you looking for us?"

The taller one is called Qianduo, the shorter one is Qianlai. Both of them are Liszt’s apprentices. I have followed him since he was two years old, and it has been seven or eight years now.

Liszt has been cultivating the two as successors. Originally, he planned to wait until the tenth year to gradually hand over the business of the caravan to the two, and then go to the inner city of Boulder City. Live the upper class life of his dreams.

But looking at it now, it seems that this day can be advanced.

"I just bought a shipment from the blue jacket, a total of 200 rifles and 50,000 rounds of ammunition. In exchange, I plan to leave the 20 sets of KV-1 skeletons in my inventory to them ."

A set of skeletons for 10 rifles? When the   two heard this, their faces suddenly showed surprise.

Qian Duo cautioned.

"But...Boss, didn't you plan to send this shipment to Honghe Town to trade with the slave merchants there?"

The recent turmoil in the River Valley Province, Honghe Town Slave dealers bought a lot of goods, but the mine couldn’t digest so much, and the price of slaves was kept low.

The slave owners in Honghe Town need an external skeleton to improve the efficiency of mining, and they also need an external skeleton to improve the battle strength of the soldiers.

According to the information collected in the tavern, a KV-1 external skeleton with a solid-state hydrogen power supply can be exchanged for 4 to 5 strong slaves.

In Boulder City, KV-1 outer skeleton is not a rare thing. Although Liszt usually sells 800-1000 chips outside, the actual purchase cost is only about 400 to 500 points. The actual production cost is just over 300.

Among them, the cost of the battery accounts for half, and the 12 motors distributed on the outer skeleton account for the other half. As for the connecting parts like bamboo poles, they are gifts.

After most people buy back a skeleton outside of KV-1, they need to modify it before they can use it.

As for an assault rifle, the normal price is around 150 to 200, and the actual cost may be one third or even 1/4/2021.

A set of skeletons is exchanged for 10 rifles, and it is also a rifle that the survivors live outside. It is difficult to evaluate whether the deal was a profit or a loss.

The key is to get to their next stop, can you sell these rifles?   However, compared to the worries of the two apprentices, the expression on Liszt's face was full of confidence.

"No problem, Honghe Town is preparing for a war with the Snake Clan of the Bone Chewing Tribe. What they need is not just a skeleton, but also a lot of weapons. Rifles and bullets can also be sold there. Price, and most importantly, if we can open the market, this trade road will become a gold mine!"

"The second thing those blue coats promised me, as long as we can Sell ​​their weapons to Honghe Town, and then bring in the phosphate rock, sulfur ore, rare metals and aluminum materials they need, and they can send us more goods...this is at least double the profit. "

"The reason why I am looking for you is for this matter," Liszt paused for a moment, looking towards the two people standing in front of him, "You have also followed me. For a while, I can see your growth. Now, it’s time to apply what you have learned! As I said, you take the caravan to Honghe Town, and then follow the list I gave you and use our freight forwarders. The supplies were bought back."

There were surprised expressions on the faces of the two of them.

Although they had thought that one day the Boss would hand over the caravan to them, they didn't expect this day to come so fast.

Qian Lai hurriedly asked.

"What about you Boss?"

Liszt Wei said with a faint smile.

"Me? I naturally have more important things to deal with! I plan to open a factory here to produce solid-state hydrogen batteries, as well as to assemble the motors needed for external skeletons."

Station The two people in the tent looked at each other blankly.

Open a factory?

Here?   And it is the motor that produces solid-state hydrogen batteries and external skeletons?   This...

It sounds too unimaginable.

Although there are some great characters that will open some simple industries outside of Boulder City, the tax and land rent that are usually saved are eventually lost in another form.

There is no order in places outside of Boulder City. Not only do you need to hire a large number of guards, you also have to spend a lot of money to persuade Boulder's engineers and workers to leave the huge wall full of security.

The goods produced must also be very careful. No insurance company will provide them with an insurance policy. Not only do you have to beware of robbers against the autumn wind, you must also be careful of the malicious destruction of competitors, and the hands and feet of wastelanders who work. Not clean.

Unorganized soil, even seeds cannot germinate, even more how is to open a factory.

However...

Their boss is confident at the moment.

I don't know what ecstasy soup was poured.

"There is a lot of money, you follow what I just said, follow Han Long to Honghe Town, and negotiate the deal. A small portion of the profit can be appropriately sold, but we must convince our customers , This is a long-term business! We will continue to provide them with weapons, and this business can go on."

"Qian Lai, you go back to Boulder City and follow the list I gave you to purchase The relevant production equipment, whether it is obsolete or trump card, can be purchased. Also, remember to collect some engineers who can operate those equipment for me. You should know where to look."

Although there are some doubts in their hearts, Qian Duo and Qian Lai are still nodded.

"Good Boss."

After explaining the matter clearly, Liszt let the two go down, and sat down on the sleeping bag, digging out from the package on the side. I used an electric tea kettle and made myself a cup of hot cocoa.

This is a habit he has cultivated during his many years of traveling.

Drinking something sweet and hot can help you fall asleep faster.

Holding the cup in his hand to warm him, watching the rising white mist, Liszt's face suddenly and unconsciously showed a smug smile.

"My special mother is really a genius!"

this time.

Really going to make a fortune!

……

When discussing cooperation earlier, the manager named Chu Guang gave him two sets of plans.

The first plan is to invest in setting up factories.

Refuge No. 404 provides labor and can also provide him with a loan of 100,000 Silver Coin. He only needs to drag the production equipment over and start work immediately.

20% of the goods produced go to the refuge, and the remaining 80% can be sold anywhere.

Whether it is exported to Boulder City or sold to a local workshop in an industrial zone.

Liszt was a little confused when he first heard about this plan, so he asked at the time.

"If Silver Coin cannot be directly exchanged for chips with you, then what is the point of how much Silver Coin I earn?"

For his doubts, the manager Explain to him patiently.

"Although Silver Coin cannot be directly exchanged for a bargaining chip, you can use it to buy what you want, and then take it back to Boulder City and replace it with your favorite plastic sheet... I mean It’s those colorful chips."

"Although instead of doing this, I recommend you take a long-term view and use Silver Coin to build a house, open a hotel, open a tavern, or expand production. "

"At the latest next month, I have a large number of caravans passing by. I forgot to tell you, because we extended a helping hand to the pioneers of the company in the war, now we are the permanent strategy of the company Partner. You are a trader and you should know what this means. As long as the caravan from the Eastern Sea shore, they will be more inclined to come to our place to stop. Imagine the good things they carry, you still think Silver Coin does not Do you use it?"

"Even if agriculture and industry are completely aside, this place will quickly prosper because of trade. Trust me, the Silver Coin in your pocket will never treat you badly, you will use them to make money More."

It seems that the strength is not enough. After the manager said this remark, he drew a pie for him.

"Next year, we will plant at least 3000 acres of camu trees, which will be 30 times the supply of Brown Farms!"

"We will export half of the raw materials and half The raw materials from China are supplied to the local market. Industrial raw materials such as rubber and alkanes will be very cheap here. Whether you sell them to Boulder or directly process them into commodities here, you will definitely make a lot of money."

After hearing this remark, Liszt immediately settled an account in his heart.

3000 acres of cam trees.

If so many can be planted, the rubber and biomass oil produced here can supply at least 13% of the consumption of Boulder City.

This is already a terrifying ratio.

Compared with the planting area here, his plantation in the south and the gathering places of a few small survivors in the vicinity are like a little joke.

For the first set of plans proposed by the manager, he immediately agreed to it.

Because he can hardly see the shortcomings of this scheme.

Especially when he learned from Chu Guang that the army of these blue coats not only defeated Legion’s Thousand Man Squad, but also defeated the bone chewing tribe at a very small price. After the two Thousand Man Squad in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, this confidence has become even stronger!   The corpse of the black snake fell on the gallows at the north gate. It is easy to verify the authenticity of this sentence.

For a new survivor stronghold, such strength is already very strong!

Even if the militia of Boulder City wants to deal with so many robbers, it will take some time and cost.

It can ensure the safety of the industrial zone and provide labor and raw materials.

In addition to the previous transactions, the manager's credit can be considered reliable.

Liszt felt that he could give it a try.

What he needs to do is not difficult. You only need to buy some equipment with a bargaining chip, then hire some unemployed engineers to operate the equipment, and guide those refugees who are said to have received a little education in production.

This may cost 100,000 or even 200,000 chips. Advanced equipment may be more expensive, perhaps 1 million.

Although the money is not a small sum for him, his credit is good, and there are two sets of real estate in the inner city of Boulder City that can be mortgaged, and it is not difficult to get a bank loan.

He chose the most reliable product.

Solid-state hydrogen batteries and motors for external skeletons.

Even if the local market can’t digest these two distinct things, you can drag them to Boulder City and sell them, or assemble them into simple outer skeletons and sell them to places like Honghe Town and replace them with slaves or Bring back the raw materials.

No matter how you look at it, this business is profitable.

And a stable batch! The   second set of plans is the same.

However, this plan focuses on sales cooperation, and he needs to spend a little effort to sell the products produced here to further places.

Is this a problem for a trader?

He used to rely on this to eat!   How to choose?   Liszt made a decision in almost half a minute.

Since the two programs are win-win.

Then why not have it all?
