Chapter 83 Helping Each Other

To be honest, Jiang Chen was really moved.

However, if the sub-crystal appreciates, then another problem will arise.

"The appreciation of Yajing, do you mean that I need to cooperate with the reduction of food prices to open up the market?" Jiang Chen said with a half-smiling smile.

I'm afraid that after explaining so much, this Zhao Chenwu still wants to discuss the idea of ​​lowering the price.

"Ahem, that's exactly it. But trust me, after expanding your sales, the food trade will bring more profits to you. What used to be only a thousand people willing to spend money on it will become in less than a month. Ten thousand people. When the basic conditions for survival are met, it is an inevitable trend that people begin to pursue the quality of life. In addition, if the market opens up, wouldn't you be able to expand production?" Zhao Chenwu stared at Jiang Chen's words closely. eyes.

Uh, okay, Jiang Chen is a little embarrassed.

In theory, if production is expanded, cost reduction is inevitable, but his situation is somewhat special. The food for the fish bone base was all brought from modern times. In terms of cost, it may be less than 0.1 sub-crystal for a can.

It seems that it is in the interests of the "headquarters" to cooperate with price cuts to open up sales.

Of course, if the original price is maintained, although the sales of food will increase slightly, the profit brought by it is definitely not as high as actively cutting prices and expanding sales.

"Oh? This is indeed a good idea. I have some discretion in negotiating prices, but you must know that the transportation and production of food is not without cost. If the profit here is too low, the transit station I set up is of a nature. The base is meaningless." However, it still has to be installed like this, if it is too easy to agree, this product will find reasons to discuss the price reduction every time.

Zhao Chenwu fell into deep thought, it is very impolite to inquire about the cost of others. However, without knowing the production cost of the fish bone food product company, it is difficult for him to estimate a reasonable price. He only "guessed" that expanding production would reduce costs, but he didn't know how much.

"The average price of canned meat is 10, canned fruit is 20, compressed biscuits are priced at 1 sub-crystal per piece, and instant noodles are 3 sub-crystals. The appreciation of sub-crystals will increase the purchasing power of the sixth block, and you will not lose too much."

"The discount is close to one-third? Boss Zhao really gave me a problem." Jiang Chen looked at Zhao Chenwu with a half-smile, "purchasing power in the sixth block? Then if I ship Yajing back to the headquarters, Isn't it too bad?"

In name, Jiang Chen is only a transit station, so it is necessary to act like a man. The appreciation of sub-crystals is relative, except for a few things that cannot be produced, there is not much difference in what can be exchanged. If it is not replaced with commodities, this thing can only be used as a more convenient time-travel ticket for him.

"Ahem, the appreciation of Yajing is relative, and the price of raw materials such as arms and building materials is also discounted by one-third. This is already close to my cost. In addition, isn't your company very interested in our technology? Perhaps in this regard, we can cooperate. Trying to avoid paying directly with Yajing is the best solution for both of us? And if I gain more right to speak in the sixth block, I believe in some principles If the equipment is not open to the market, I can also accommodate it." Zhao Chenwu looked at Jiang Chen with bright eyes.

"Yes, interesting proposal." Jiang Chen's mouth raised a smile, it seemed that the two sides had reached a consensus.

In this case, Jiang Chen said straight to the point.

"The design drawing of the M2 engine, our quotation is 40,000 sub-crystals.

1-10kg quality bomb production machine design drawing, the quotation is 90,000 sub-crystals. The design drawing of the Type 50 electromagnetic gun, the quotation is 110,000. I believe that these technologies in Wanghai City's bad street are not difficult for Boss Zhao, right? "

These are relatively sensitive military technologies, and naturally they will not be stored in the library database of civilian nature. At present, they can only be obtained by purchasing. As for the quotation, Sun Jiao’s evaluation is based on Liuding Town’s standards. of.

Regardless of whether there are conditions for producing these equipments, in short, the key technologies must be obtained first, and then slowly digested.

"Of course there is no problem." Zhao Chenwu laughed and said, this price is reasonable.

Although the sixth block restricts the sale of heavy weapons, the blockade of related technologies is not so strict. A thumb-sized U disk can copy all the data and design drawings, how can you prevent it?

Of course, Zhao Chenwu would not take out the core technologies independently developed after the war. Just like he never asked Jiang Chen for the "technology" to produce food.

Don't think that when the end times come, the development of science and technology will stop. The scientists raised in the various survivor bases were not raised for nothing. It's just that due to the occlusion of information, the harsh living environment, and the uneven success of technology, everyone's technology tree is more or less crooked.

Take the sixth block as an example, the actual combat performance of its self-developed and improved T-3 power armor has even surpassed the level before the war. But on large aircraft, their research is almost blank. And Liuding Town is just the opposite, and other survivor bases are in a similar situation.

"As for the trade volume... Since you can eat it, why don't I sell you a little more? The trade volume will be raised to 70W crystals. Settled at the new price, it will be counted as October and One-off trade in November. I believe that with more goods on hand, Boss Zhao can also expand the market, right?" Jiang Chen smiled and said.

Six times the usual trade volume!

For a moment, Zhao Chenwu's breathing became a little faster, but he was worthy of being a big man, and he quickly regained his calm look.

Shrugging his shoulders, Zhao Chenwu smiled happily: "Since my allies have shown so much sincerity, if I don't do something, wouldn't I be too sorry for him?"

Come, just wait for your words. There was a smile on Jiang Chen's mouth.

"I think so too. So, in order for me to transport this 70W worth of sub-crystal goods into my base, I need your help."

Zhao Chenwu was stunned.

"Your transportation team can transport goods here over such a long distance, can't they solve even that little trouble?" Zhao Chenwu asked in disbelief.

Obviously, he knew that there was also a diffusion source near the fishbone base, but it was too far away to affect the sixth block. The Neutral Zone is not a charitable organization, so there is no reason to send troops to help other survivors to clear up the trouble.

"Transportation and combat are two different things. We have the technology to get the goods somewhere, but it's up to me to get them in."

Orbital airdrop? Aircraft teleportation? Whatever Zhao Chenwu thought, Jiang Chen didn't say anything anyway.

Spreading his hands, Jiang Chen continued to show his acting skills honed by pretending to be 13, and said, "I believe you know how many sub-crystals I have invested in this transfer station, after all, I bought everything from you. .If you can't handle this danger well, if you were my boss, would you still let me stay here? Or, it would not be more efficient to just change to a more 'tradeable' base to start cooperation again So, in order for our cooperation to continue, you have to help me get through this immediate difficulty first."

Then, he lowered his voice and looked at Yang Chen's martial arts with a half-smile, "I can't guarantee that the next representative who comes here will still choose the Zhao Group as a partner, or simply relocate, and then work with that What is Liuding Town doing trade. We pursue efficiency, if I 'fail' with you, will the person who succeeds me still continue my strategy? Hehe, you know."

Jiang Chen put his words here, and then leaned back on the chair.

The words are not finished, just stop.

It seems to make some sense. If my men have taken so many resources from trade and put them into the construction of defense, but when danger comes, you will ask me for support? If Jiang Chen was removed from the "Fish Bone Headquarters", would the new representative maintain the original "failure strategy"? Hard to say.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chenwu became a little restless. He had already tasted the sweetness of the food trade, how could he be willing to give up. What's more, the big sale of these 70W crystals has already been placed at the door. He also hopes to use this batch of goods to occupy the grain market in the sixth block and gain greater influence in the ten-member committee...

However, what he didn't know was that the conditions for all these assumptions to be established were based on the existence of that "head office". Jiang Chen did not finish his words, but left enough room for Zhao Chenwu to imagine.

Tell a lie half, and a wise person will naturally complete the lie for you, but if you talk too much, it is easy to reveal flaws.

"What kind of support do you want, I'll help with this." Zhao Chenwu said solemnly. His interests have long been tied to Jiang Chen's chariot. If he loses Jiang Chen's supplier, all his deployments will be disrupted.

You must help, even if you are struggling to lose money.

Just wait for his words.

Hearing this, a faint smile flashed across Jiang Chen's mouth.

"10 sets of T-3 power armor, I'll buy it at 110% of the cost." Jiang Chen didn't take the opportunity to defraud him, Jiang Chen offered a fairly attractive price.

"This is impossible!" Zhao Chenwu stood up and lost his voice.

It's not about money at all!

Even though he holds great power and is one of the ten members of the committee, there are still nine people staring at him. Many small capitalists and congressmen below are all staring at his position, which cannot tolerate him being careless.

Every piece of regulated equipment must be registered, even if it comes from its own factory. No sales, mutual supervision, it is difficult for anyone to cheat on this.

If you violate the rules, the consequences will be serious. This is equivalent to giving competitors an excuse to suppress him.

"Nothing is impossible. Think about it, what is this risk compared to the profit you will get? If I lose, I will just go back to retirement. And you, you will lose a supplier who is optimistic about you. !" Jiang Chen stared at Zhao Chenwu tightly.

And Zhao Chenwu was also staring at him at this moment.

In the end, the hero's eyes loosened and he gave in.

"10 sets of T-3 power armor, each set of 13,000 sub-crystals, I will send 10 slaves with chips to wear them, and then report the death of the battle. As for those 10 people, you can figure it out yourself, anyway. Just don't let them show up on the sixth block."

Zhao Chenwu rubbed his temples tiredly, put his arms on the table, and waved his hands as if giving up.

"That's great, my friend. Don't worry, you have helped me so much, and the benefits are indispensable to you." The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth evoked a successful arc, but it was fleeting, and "sincerely" expressed to Zhao Chenwu grateful.

"What else can I say together, I know 10 sets of power armor are definitely not enough. But only this time!" Anyway, he has already violated the discipline, and he doesn't care about the degree of the violation. Fortunately, Zhao Chenwu let go.

Just don't get caught.

"An Assault Infantry Vehicle."

"No problem, 'on the job' will just explode a... 20,000 sub-crystals."

"Give me the goods first, I'll have to take care of that trouble to get the grain in, and then pay the new price."

"No problem, I'm not short of this time."

"By the way, I may need a few high-energy vacuum bombs, the portable ones." Zhao Chenwu's attitude was so straightforward, Jiang Chen began to feel a little embarrassed, and said with a smirk.

"Okay. Together with the one-time launch base, 100 sub-crystals, I said that it was reported when the scrap was dismantled... What is the use of that thing? Zombies can't be suffocated, and they don't have much fat on their bodies. Can burn."

"Just assuming a possible situation, you don't need to worry about it, so the cooperation is pleasant?" Jiang Chen said with a smile without any requirements.

"Happy cooperation... you better not let my investment go to waste!"

Jiang Chen looked directly at Zhao Chenwu's eagle-like eyes without fear, and smiled happily, "Don't worry, my ally, don't you think we are helping each other?"

I made a price concession, you have to help with this, right?

Helping each other?

Perhaps it is more appropriate to use the word mutually.
