Volume 1, Pot of Gold, Chapter 640: The Business Opportunities Behind the War

Next chapter

The NAC's war against the Empire caused an earthquake in Hongcheng. 》。 》

However, the more powerful and widespread earthquake occurred in the sixth block, hundreds of kilometers away.

In the early morning of the third day, the sky was bright, and the entrance of the bank in the sixth block was already crowded with black and oppressive people. Compared with the ragged survivors in Hongcheng, these people are much more glamorous in terms of clothing and hairstyle, and the expressions on their faces are all full of excitement and joy.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the bell tower struck the bell on the hour.

At the moment when the sign that said "Rest" turned to "Opening", the crowd moved.

"Grass! Don't squeeze me, hurry to reincarnate you! ”

"What to push, I can't move in front!"

"Don't cut the line! day, there is no point su zhì! ”

“……”

The guards, who had been prepared for a long time, had already made a folded barrier in the hall with yellow lines to maintain order in the queue.

Because of the newspapers, they learned about the good news at the front as soon as possible. At the same time, the NAC ran the same headline in the front pages of several newspapers.

[The NAC Expeditionary Force broke the mutants of the Gelug tribe, liberated more than 20,000 slaves, and a large area of low-pollution land on Jinxi Lake Farm was for sale]

There is also a steel seal of Marshal Jiang Chen of the military government next to it.

Underneath this headline, analysts at Sixth Block Bank gave a detailed assessment of Hongcheng's demographics and the most important investment value. Because of the military junta behind the scenes, this evaluation is of course A+.

However, this is not Jiang Chen's fooling the investors in the sixth district, because the Hangzhou Merchants Federation also gave a similar positive "A".

Compared with coastal areas like Wanghai City, both the land pollution and radiation values are much higher than those inland, and only Shenxiang Town, which is controlled by the military government, has a decent soil quality. As a result, the overall profitability of the plantations in NAC has not been very good.

As the population grew, the survivor settlements in Wanghai City, including the sixth block, consumed an astronomical amount of nutrient mixture every day. After all, not everyone can afford to eat food at every meal, and most people's staple foods are still those unpalatable nutritional mixtures that make you want to vomit.

However, with the current per capita consumption level of the sixth block, most people can afford to drink B-level or above nutritional mixtures. And the raw materials of this B-level and above nutrient mixture are the basic "crop" mutant fruits on the wasteland.

Recently, xenogeneous pastures have sprung up in the territory of NAC. It is also necessary to consume a large amount of mutated fruit as feed for breeding long-haired pigs.

Not only mutated fruits, but other raw materials such as camut resin and bullet shell valley are also in high demand in the sixth block.

As a result, all investors were keen to catch two key words in the newspapers: "labor". And "land".

As long as you have these two things, whether it is mutant fruit or camu resin, you can fill up as much demand as you want.

That's why these investors are eagerly pulling out the money in their pockets and scrambling to pay for the war.

……

Same as the last time war bonds were issued. Chu Nan sat by the window, eating steamed buns and drinking soy milk while looking at the newspaper spread out on the table. Sitting across from him was Zhao Chenwu, a councillor and CEO of the Zhao Group, who wakes up early every morning so as not to miss the breakfast in the canteen of the Parliament Building......

and the second most powerful person in the sixth block to have breakfast together.

"War is always a catalyst for the economy." Chu Nan stuffed the bun into his mouth, looked sideways at the bustling crowd outside the window, and grinned.

"I couldn't agree more." Zhao Chenwu nodded.

The bank is located next to the Houses of Parliament, and at the moment the queue has reached the square in front of the Houses of Parliament from the entrance of the bank. For the war six hundred kilometers away, people waving banknotes. The enthusiasm is simply higher than the fighters who vent their bullets in the bunkers.

The war against the Gru tribe consumes bullets, shells, rockets, and various supplies, totaling 1 million credits. However, less than two days after the war was fought, more than half of the cost of the million credits had been recovered.

No, even earned a little.

With money from investors, NAC will be able to place more orders for military factories. At the same time, investors who have invested in Hongcheng will invest more credit points in building farms and factories on the NAC's colony to contribute to the prosperity of the NAC.

Come to think of this. Even Chu Nan, who has always been steady, is happy to keep his mouth shut.

On the other hand, Zhao Chenwu seems much calmer, not because he is indifferent by nature...... It's because he'd laughed enough last night.

A few large companies that have a good relationship with NAC and have strength can not be like those investors outside the window. Running to the bank door early in the morning to line up, they have special "VIP windows" to get a lot of land.

Although the Zhao Group is mainly engaged in the food business, they have not let go of the nutritional mixture. He owns 1,000 acres of high-quality land in Jinxi Lake Farm, and after talking to Jiang Chen on the phone yesterday, he almost fell off his chair without fun.

But in order to better develop the farm, which is 600 kilometers away. He still has some important things to talk about with Chu Nan.

"Speaking of which, this airship is really a good thing," Zhao Chenwu said with emotion as he looked at the crowd outside the window, "If we can use this thing for commercial transportation, we don't need to fight with those marauders along the way." ”

Hearing Zhao Chenwu's words, Chu Nan couldn't help but be a little amused.

He'd been working with this guy for a while, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking. The old fox's eyes were looking out the window, but his attention was always on him.

"Alright, you know helium isn't a good thing. Until the military needs are met, we have no plans to liberalize the production of private airships for the time being. ”

Being seen through by Chu Nan, Zhao Chenwu didn't feel embarrassed, but he smiled and asked cheekily.

"What about hydrogen? If we don't have helium, we can use hydrogen. Anyway, we are floating on the clouds, and the probability of an accident is not so great, so I can order a few hydrogen airships for my own use. ”

Hydrogen airship is a bit dangerous, but in terms of cost, the cost of air transportation is several times lower than that of land. As long as the accident rate is controlled below 1%, even if there are one or two accidents, it will still be profitable overall.

"You're not afraid of death." Chu Nan glanced at him, "How are you sure it's safe to float above the clouds?" Those marauders even dare to sweep the NAC's supply boats, maybe they will let you go? ”

"Don't worry, we will bear the losses!" Zhao Chenwu said in a consultative tone.

"Alright, it's not negotiable." Chu Nan waved his hand, picked up the last xiaolongbao and stuffed it into his mouth, "But if there is such a plan at that time, we will notify you as soon as possible." ”

Seeing that Chu Nan refused to let go, Zhao Chenwu also made a helpless expression.

"Then you'll have to work for you." (To be continued.) )
