Chapter 130: Thriving

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Chen personally took the five people who were about to undergo surgery to the sixth block, accompanied by five soldiers from the fish bone base.

The reason why I personally led the team was because I was curious about how much the Sixth Block had changed after the expedition, and partly for the purpose of "market research".

Now that the purchasing power of the Sixth Block has increased, there is no need for trade to be limited to food.

When the initial burst of industrial capacity is over, and the frenzied production lines put everyone in a strong arm, the demand for arms will definitely fall due to saturation. However, with the upgraded hunting ability, the number of subcrystals will only increase, and the survivors will even have the ability to expand the hunting radius and advance to the city center to hunt more subcrystals.

People who have met the most basic need of filling their stomachs and have a stuffed subcrystalline in their pockets will inevitably begin to pursue a quality of life.

In response to market demand, a large number of small workshops will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and then under the affirmation of the market, they will transform into small factories and large factories. A dazzling array of goods will fill the shelves of every store, and the greetings between friends will change from the initial "Did you get a nutritional mixture today?" to "How much subcrystals did you earn today?".

Order will be reproduced in this land. Prosperity will be restored under this free order.

And all this was only a war that lasted only a few days.

"Welcome to the Sixth Block, my friend. Zhao Chenwu held a cigar in the corner of his mouth, and opened his arms to meet Jiang Chen from a distance.

"Meet again, is the investment in me worth the ticket price?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Of course. Zhao Chenwu smiled and handed him a cigar, "Good goods before the war, one will cost 10 subcrystals." ”

There is no need to think about it, since Jiang Chen is standing here, it naturally proves that the danger of the fish bone base has been lifted. And this also means that the batch of food has been transported to Wanghai City.

Taking the cigar, Jiang Chen smiled and lit it with a smile. Although since he was injected with genetic drugs, his addiction to smoking has almost disappeared. However, this salute is still not easy to shirk.

"Looks like you're going to be rich?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"That's right, about to get rich. Zhao Chenwu grinned, and then put his hand on Jiang Chen's shoulder very enthusiastically, "Let's go." It's cold standing outside, let's go to the car. ”

The five people who needed to undergo surgery were taken over by Zhao Chenwu's men and taken to the clinic, while the five accompanying soldiers returned.

Sitting in Zhao Chenwu's car, the driver drove the two of them in the direction of the inner circle.

"Let's talk about it. My old friend, what kind of wind blew you here?" Zhao Chenwu asked as he looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.

Orders are usually delivered directly over the radio, and if you need to meet in person, you can also solve them in the virtual conference room.

"On the one hand, I brought a few novices to come over for chip implantation surgery, and on the other hand, I wanted to see what the development here had become, and I sent orders by the way. Jiang Chen glanced out the car window and handed the graphene card to Zhao Chenwu's hand.

It was still the wide gate, and beyond the gate was still the terrifying infantry cannons, but the thin faces were replaced by confident faces.

Building materials are piled up on the vacant lot, and construction trucks are busy outside the sixth block, seemingly at war on an expansion project. There are few people in the slums. It looks a little empty.

As if seeing the shock on Jiang Chen's face, Zhao Chenwu smiled, pinched the graphene card, pressed the start button on it, and then said casually.

"The buildings are newly expanded industrial areas, and the fence has to be extended a few hundred meters outward. Slums are no longer selling, and Parliament has introduced a bill to initiate a redemption system for refugees in slums. ”

"Redemption system?" Jiang Chen was very unfamiliar with this new term.

"Anyone who has registered their identity in the sixth block can redeem it for 10 crystals. Ransom refugees are not allowed to leave the Sixth Block. The redeemer will work for three years without pay in the factory in the sixth block, after which he will be freed. ”

"In other words, the trade of people is not supported?" Jiang Chen asked with a frown.

"Officially, refugees will no longer be a burden on the sixth block. However, I recommend checking out the Free Market, which has quite a few merchants from other survivor bases. There are professional slave traders who do this business. Zhao Chenwu slid the list on the graphene card and confirmed the procurement information given by Jiang Chen.

"Five hundred Ripper rifles, twenty Ghost Sniper Rifles, five hundred bulletproof combat suits, four boxes of conventional grenades, general combat equipment. Five 20mm cannons are so many, do you plan to arm a legion?" Zhao Chenwu asked in confusion.

"Shipped outside the province. Jiang Chen said very succinctly.

In fact, it is transported to this world.

"Okay. However, with such a large amount, the trading time will be postponed to the 10th. There is still a little bit of goods, so I asked the factory to arrange it. Zhao Chenwu took out a piece of paper-like mobile phone from his pocket and pressed a few buttons.

"A thousand winter suits, a thousand pairs of snow boots, twenty tons of C-shaped steel, ten tons of camut resin, these are easy to do, you can buy them in the sixth block, I can get the wholesale price. Zhao Chenwu finished reading the list and said with a smile.

Camu resin, a resin extracted from a mutated plant called the camut tree, can be used as a raw material for a variety of plastics, and is considered a relatively common industrial raw material in wasteland. Although the contaminated soil does not produce edible crops, the plants that survive the elimination of the selection are not a big deal. There are several small plantations in the sixth block that specialize in the production of this resin.

Camu resin, C-shaped steel, and electronic parts recovered from survivor groups are the main raw materials for the Hummingbird drone.

"Then I'll leave it to you, the trading date is set for the 10th. This batch of goods should be enough for these three months, how about the next trade in January next year?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"No problem. Zhao Chenwu smiled and nodded.

The car drove to the inner circle and stopped at the door of a hotel called Lihua. According to Zhao Chenwu, this is the restaurant he opened in the inner circle.

Jiang Chen happily accepted the invitation to have lunch, but when the food was served, he was stunned.

Curry chicken nuggets, potatoes and beef, vinegared cabbage. There are three dishes in total, two meat and one vegetable.

The problem is not in the dish, but in the canned food, isn't this Nima just canned food?

Looking at Zhao Chenwu's index finger movement, Jiang Chen was secretly embarrassed.

In terms of quality of life. This respected councillor in the sixth district eats as much as a beggar in the world.

In short, Jiang Chen only ate eight points full. Sit in a lavishly decorated restaurant, clutching bread made of synthetic starch. Eating a dish that has been poured out of a can and heated up.

This feeling is indescribably joyful.

Especially the person sitting across from him ate with relish.

After the meal, Zhao Chenwu picked up a tissue and wiped it, then leaned back on the chair, looked at Jiang Chen and smiled.

"I have to praise you for the food you make from fish bones. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. Jiang Chen smiled.

"That's right. Now that you're here, there's something I don't know if you're interested in. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Zhao Chenwu sat up from his chair, leaned closer and whispered.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but look straight when he saw this. This guy in front of him is one of the ten-member committees, and the news that leaked out of his mouth should not be taken lightly.

Zhao Chenwu smiled mysteriously and casually dropped a bombshell: "According to the latest proposal of the sixth block, we are going to set up a bank. On the feasibility of this proposal. Although it is still under discussion, the approval of the proposal is a high probability event. ”

"Bank?" Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.

What the hell is opening a bank in the last days?

"Wealth per capita continues to rise, and the Sixth District does have the need for that and the ability to open a bank. People will keep the subcrystals that they can't use for the time being in the bank to get interest, and the factories that are eager to start work will borrow the subcrystals from the bank to start production. The blood is already abundant, and we still lack a heart. Zhao Chenwu smiled proudly and looked at Jiang Chen with a bright face.

It is foreseeable that the emergence of banks will give birth to a number of new factories.

After Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, he suddenly stretched his brows and smiled, "Good idea." But does it have anything to do with me?"

"Of course," Zhao Chenwu smiled, lowered his voice and asked, "Don't you want to be a shareholder of this bank?"

That's an interesting question.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression became a little weird. He asked, "Don't you want to?"

If there is such a good thing, will you be kind enough to find me?

As if guessing what Jiang Chen was thinking, Zhao Chenwu smiled slightly and continued, "Of course. However, according to the regulations, the members of the 10-member committee are limited to 7% of the shares, and each of them will contribute 10W subcrystalline. And the remaining 30% of the shares. Sold to the public at a premium. ”

"In other words, your cake has already been divided, so I thought of my old friend. Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"That's right, I don't know if you're interested?" Zhao Chenwu crossed his fingers and looked at Jiang Chen with blazing eyes.

Jiang Chen didn't agree immediately, but touched his chin and pondered.

The 10-member committee is limited to 7% of the shares each of them, which means that everyone has equal influence on the board. This should be a decision made after consultation with multiple parties in order to prevent a single party from becoming the dominant one. And the reason why Zhao Chenwu revealed this news to me should be that he hoped that I could acquire a certain amount of equity. Because of our alliances, he will gain more influence in the bank. After all, my core interests are in that "headquarters", and what I care about should not be the right to speak, but only the bank's dividends and profits.

Considering the recent development speed of the sixth block, I am afraid that the significance of this bank is extraordinary, otherwise Zhao Chenwu would not be so concerned.

After all, this is the "heart" of blood transfusion.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but have a smile on his face, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

He suddenly found that he seemed to be getting more and more adept at scheming.

"What is the bank's investment scope?" Jiang Chen asked quietly.

"Pledge loans for potential factories, shops, developers, mercenary groups, hunting parties. Zhao Chenwu said quickly.

"What are the conditions for a premium acquisition?"

Hearing Jiang Chen's question, a smile immediately appeared on Zhao Chenwu's face.

He understood that Jiang Chen was already tempted.

"The 1% stake is sold for 2W subcrystalline. For the acquirer, it is required to own at least 200 square meters of real estate in the 6th block. In addition, they must be free people who are not wearing devices such as slave chips. ”

Jiang Chen suddenly laughed and stretched out his right hand: "Thank you for the news, I am very interested." Please let me know if the proposal passes. ”

"Definitely. Our interests are the same, aren't they?" Zhao Chenwu smiled and shook Jiang Chen's outstretched hand and shook it vigorously.

"Of course. (To be continued.) )
