Chapter 90: The Golden Ant
Although the reputation of the golden ant is not good, the channels are broad and the hands and eyes are open. You can get a lot of things that are very useful, but you can't see the light of day. For example, technology products from the old era, and materials that do not comply with the provisions of the blackout law.
In particular, some wealthy people like to collect and use things from the old era. For example, refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines and other electrical equipment, electric vehicles, motorcycles, and small electronic devices such as razors and massagers.
These things are actually not very harmful, but because of the power ban bill, they are contraband. Under normal circumstances, it is not available on the market at all. It can only be purchased from the black market for a large price. And the golden ant is the giant in the black market, specializing in these things.
In order to purchase and transport some materials used to maintain the fence system, the No. 1 Division and the Sixth Division of the Inspection Institute also secretly had business dealings with Golden Ants.
Considering that the other party had dealt with the inspection institute, Zhou Ziheng decided to reveal his identity and said: "I am Zhou Ziheng, the person in charge of the inspection institute. ”
He did not say the specific position, but simply brought it.
Ma Yi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately regained his warm smile, bowed his hand again, and bent his waist deeper, and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Zhou, who has admired his name for a long time." ”
Zhou Ziheng's existence is not a secret in the Inspection Yuan, and his identity on the surface is the general counselor of the hospital.
What is really confidential is the duty he undertakes. Ostensibly his advisor to the Dean, he actually controls the Hidden Dragon Organization for the Dean.
Ma Yi knew that the inspection institute had such a person as Zhou Ziheng, which was not surprising.
Zhou Ziheng nodded, arched his hand and said, "Boss Ma is polite." Does Boss Ma know why these people are here?"
Ma Yidao: "Actually, they are all waiting to pick up cheap. ”
Zhou Ziheng was puzzled, "Pick up cheap?"
Ma Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou hasn't experienced the last beast tide, right?"
Zhou Ziheng nodded lightly. He was less than 100 years old, so naturally he hadn't experienced the last beast tide. However, it also shows that his practice is progressing rapidly.
Ma Yi said: "When the beast tide broke out, mutated creatures were overwhelming and rushed towards the fence system. Behind the fence system's protective range, the fence system unleashes powerful particle beams that kill mutated creatures. ”
"The skin and bones of these mutated creatures are very valuable. These people just want to wait, and in the gap between the two waves of beast tides, they run over to pick up the leak. ”
Zhou Ziheng frowned and said, "It's really hard to make money." Is their strength okay?"
Ma Yi said with a smile: "People die for money, birds die for food." These people have long been cornered, so it is better to play a game than to die. If you're lucky, you'll have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you may even be able to turn over from now on. ”
"Moreover, the fence system is not perfect enough to completely intercept mutated creatures. Some smaller, less threatening targets will be ignored by the fence system, and they will need to be used. ”
Zhou Ziheng was white, it turned out that he was letting these people be cannon fodder. However, it also served his purpose.
So, he pointed to the crowd and said, "Of course it's good that they can help." It's just that this is a traffic artery, and so many people are blocked here, which will definitely affect the transportation of materials and the deployment of personnel. ”
Ma Yidao: "What Mr. Zhou said is true. I wonder what you're arranged?"
Zhou Ziheng thought about it, jumped on the roof of the car, picked up the Force, and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet!"
He shouted loudly like a flood bell and exploded in everyone's ears, and everyone was shocked, and immediately looked away.
Zhou Ziheng saw everyone's attention turned, and continued: "The beast tide is coming, all mankind is facing danger, you want to do your part, I thank you on behalf of the country." ”
"However, this is a transportation artery, and if you stay here, it will inevitably affect the dispatch of materials and personnel. We're planning to build a makeshift camp nearby, where you can go and fix it. ”
"During the construction of the base, if you help, we can pay you the corresponding remuneration, or we can exchange it for the corresponding biological materials. ”
Everyone exchanged glances with each other and quietly discussed Zhou Ziheng's proposal. Actually, there's nothing to discuss. Zhou Ziheng's conditions are very generous, and everyone is excited.
But Zhou Ziheng is an official person after all, and most of those people have a criminal record, and they are very bottomless when dealing with the official. Therefore, I looked forward to it and refused to express my position immediately.
Seeing this, Ma Yi shouted loudly: "What Mr. Zhou said is extremely true. Building makeshift camps is good for everyone. We, Golden Ant Commercial Bank, will settle in the temporary camp as soon as possible. In addition, our firm donated 5 million yuan to fund the construction and operation of the base. ”
Ma Yi took the lead in expressing his position, and those commercial banks that followed the trend and watched immediately responded, expressing their willingness to contribute money and materials for the construction of the base.
Those stragglers are all attached to the firm, and with the firm taking the lead, they naturally have no objections.
Zhou Ziheng immediately arranged for Feng Xingmin, as the temporary person in charge, to lead half of the staff to choose a suitable place nearby, urgently allocate materials and personnel from China, and build a temporary camp.
Ma Yi also patted his chest and said that the golden ants would fully cooperate with Feng Xingmin's work, asking for money and asking for money.
After about half an hour, the road was finally cleared. Zhou Ziheng took a car, a driver and three entourages, bid farewell to Ma Yi and continued to walk north.
Ma Yi stood on the side of the road, looking at Zhou Ziheng's car, and disappeared from sight. At this time, a man dressed as an attendant bowed over and whispered to Ma Yi: "She is awake." ”
Ma Yi hurried back to the luxury car.
Daisy is lying in the back seat, her delicate and convex figure is like a rolling mountain, full of mature temptation.
She glanced at Ma Yi with starry eyes, and said lazily, "Why are you?"
Ma Yi smiled charmingly and said, "Why can't it be me?"
Daisy closed her starry eyes and said, "What do you want? money or my body? If you want my body, please take care of yourself. ”
Ma Yi smiled: "Contemptible people are not short of money. There is no shortage of beauties who take the initiative to give them a hug. Moreover, your special fetishes are well known to everyone. Therefore, your kindness is not blessed. ”
Daisy half-opened her starry eyes, her slender eyelashes were like butterfly wings, she glanced at Ma Yi and said, "I can't see it, you are still a righteous gentleman who doesn't take advantage of people's danger." ”
Ma Yi laughed and said, "Miss Daisy is scolding the despicable people." Who doesn't know that contemptible people are abducted and deceived and do all kinds of evil. Where is a decent man and a gentleman?"
"Besides, taking advantage of people's danger is such a thing, and it is also necessary to divide it against whom. Others, take advantage of it. Miss Daisy, how dare I take advantage of it? Who doesn't know, Miss Daisy, you are highly poisonous everywhere, and people give you the nickname Red Scorpion. ”
Daisy opened her starry eyes, sat up slowly, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "I didn't expect you to have some knowledge." Hehe. I also know a little bit about your Ma Yi's name, you are a guy who can't afford to be early. You must have another purpose in helping me. Say what you want to do. ”
Ma Yi opened the hidden wine cabinet in the carriage, took out two glasses and a bottle of whiskey, poured the amber liquor into the glasses, and handed both glasses to Daisy at the same time.
Daisy smiled. Ma Yi took two glasses of wine and let her choose, which was intended to show her that he had no bad thoughts against her.
Daisy chose the wine on Ma Yi's right hand and took it.
Ma Yi gently shook the wine glass in his left hand and said, "Actually, when the contemptible person approached Miss Daisy, he did have something to ask for. I'm afraid that Miss Daisy won't help. ”
Daisy took a sip of wine, and said lightly, "I don't like to go around in circles, just say something." If you can help, it's no problem. If you can't help, don't blame me. ”
Ma Yi smiled: "Miss Daisy is really refreshing. Then I'll get straight to the point. ”
"Speak. ”
Ma Yi said: "The contemptible people want to use your connections to do some small business in the country of Xiluo. ”
Daisy was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ma Yi with deep meaning: "I didn't expect Boss Ma to have such a big appetite." Not to mention that he has eaten most of the side business of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, he also wants to meddle in the side business of our Xiluo Kingdom. Aren't you afraid to blow your stomach up?"
Ma Yi smiled slightly, "My belly has always been big. The current business is just a mix of food. Besides, the contemptible people do not want to extend their hand to your kingdom of Silo, but to cooperate with you. ”
Daisy raised an eyebrow, "Cooperation? How to cooperate? Can you get past the Canaanite Federation? Or have you found a new business opportunity?"
The Canaanite Commonwealth is located between the Eastern Chu State and the Xiluo Kingdom, although the land is barren and the products are not abundant, but because of its superior location, it connects two continents and occupies the only transportation artery.
This kind of advantage in the field is incomparable. What's more, the people of the Canaan Federation are very business-minded. They organized caravans very early on, traveling between the Eastern Chu and Western Luo kingdoms.
Although this trade route is very risky and full of dangers along the way, only if you successfully reach your destination, you can get rich by making a profit of ten times and a hundred times.
What's more, the merchants of the Canaan Federation are not fools, this trade route has been more familiar, the risk is much smaller, and the natural wealth is rolling in.
Whether it is the merchants of the Eastern Chu Kingdom or the Xiluo Kingdom, they are very enthusiastic about this. They have also tried to get a piece of the Canaanite Commonwealth's merchants.
However, even if their caravan came to the Canaan Federation through the Great Wilderness in nine lifetimes, they lost all their blood because they couldn't fight the land snakes of Canaan.
They also knew very well that before a new geographical advantage took the place of the Canaanite Federation, they could only envy, envy and hate the merchants of the Canaan Federation.
Ma Yi could only sigh at this and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, those fat-headed brain fools are really in a good position." ”
Daisy said: "Since we can't cross them, how meaningful is our cooperation?"
Ma Yi said: "It's not meaningless. After a long time, those merchants of the Canaan Federation felt that it was unprofitable, so they naturally gave up the caravan and continued to go back to collect tolls. ”
"We took the opportunity to take over the freight of this trade route. When the time comes, we will join forces and make some small moves, so that they can give birth to civil strife and take care of themselves, and we can even save tolls. ”
Daisy scoffed, "You're thinking. However, if you want to do this, not to mention how many people need to cooperate, it will take decades in time. Don't you think it's too far away?"
Ma Yi took a sip of wine, tasted it carefully before swallowing, then looked at Daisy and smiled, "Are we short of time?"
Daisy was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Ma Yi's words. Their lifespan is at least two hundred years old, and a few decades is not too long for them.
Daisy thought carefully about Ma Yi's thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's terrible! Now you actually start planning for decades from now." ”
"Everybody says that ants go everywhere, but there are no bones left. I didn't believe it before, but now I know that you are really a devil who eats people and does not spit out bones!"
Ma Yi smiled proudly, raised his wine glass, and said: "We in Eastern Chu have an old saying, people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries. Hehe. May I ask you, beautiful Miss Daisy, would you like to cooperate with me, the devil?"
Daisy raised her glass, touched it with Ma Yi, and smiled, "Of course." ”
