To be honest, Jiang Chen was indeed moved.

However, if the value of the subcrystalline increases, then another problem arises.

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

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

"Ahem, exactly. But trust me, when you expand your sales, the food trade will be more profitable for you. What was originally only 1,000 people willing to spend money on will become 10,000 in less than a month. When the basic conditions for survival are satisfied, it is an inevitable trend for people to begin to pursue the quality of survival. In addition, if the sales channel is opened, won't you be able to expand production?" Zhao Chenwu stared at Jiang Chen's eyes tightly.

Uh, okay, Jiang Chen was a little embarrassed.

Theoretically, if production is expanded, the cost will fall, but his situation is somewhat special. The grain in the fish bone base is all transported by him from modern times, and if you want to talk about the cost, it may be less than 0.1 subcrystals in a can.

It seems to be in the interests of the "headquarters" to cooperate with the price reduction to open up sales channels.

Of course, if the original price is maintained, although the sales of food will also rise slightly, the profit will definitely not be as high as the initiative to reduce prices and expand sales.

"Oh, that's a good idea, I have a bit of autonomy in bargaining, but you know, food is not without costs. If the margins here are too low, the base I have built in the nature of a transit station will be meaningless. "However, this still has to be installed, if it is too easy to agree, this goods will find a reason to negotiate a price reduction every once in a while.

Zhao Chenwu fell into a deep groan, it was very rude to inquire about other people's costs. However, he didn't know the production cost of the fish bone food product company, and it was difficult for him to estimate a reasonable price. He only "guessed" that expanding production would reduce costs, but he didn't know exactly how much.

"The average price of canned meat is 10, canned fruit is 20, compressed biscuits maintain the price of 1 isocrystal per piece, and instant noodles are 3 isocrystals. If the value of the subcrystalline increases, the purchasing power in the sixth block will also increase, and you won't lose much. ”

"The discount is close to one-third? Boss Zhao really gave me a problem. Jiang Chen looked at Zhao Chenwu with a smile, "Purchasing power in the sixth block?

Nominally, Jiang Chen's place is just a transit station, so it is still necessary to make a show. The appreciation of subcrystals is relative, and except for a few things that cannot be produced, there is not much difference in what can be exchanged. If it is not exchanged for a commodity, this thing can only be used as a more convenient crossing ticket in his place.

"Ahem, the appreciation of subcrystals is relative, and the price of raw materials such as arms and building materials is also discounted by one-third, which is already close to my cost. Also, isn't your company interested in our technology? Maybe we can work together on this. Isn't it the best way for both of us to maximize our interests by avoiding direct payment with subcrystals?And if I gain more say in the Sixth Block, I believe that some equipment that is not open to circulation in principle will be accommodating. At the end of the point, Zhao Chenwu looked at Jiang Chen with blazing eyes.

"Nice, interesting proposal. A smile rose at the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth, it seemed that the two sides had reached a consensus.

Since this is the case, Jiang Chen also said straight to the point.

"For the design of the M2 engine, our quotation is 40,000 subcrystals. The design drawing of the machine tool for the production of 1-10kg mass bullets, the quotation is 90,000 subcrystals. The design drawing of the Type 50 electromagnetic gun, the price is 110,000. I believe that these technologies on the rotten streets in Wanghai City are not difficult for Boss Zhao, right?"

These are relatively sensitive military technologies, which will naturally not be stored in the library database of a civilian nature, and can only be obtained by purchase at present, and the quotation is evaluated by Sun Jiao according to the standards of Liuding Town.

Regardless of whether there are conditions for the production of these equipment now, in short, we must first get the key technology in hand, and then slowly digest it.

"Absolutely. Zhao Chenwu said with a smile, this offer is quite reasonable.

Although the Sixth Block restricts the sale of heavy weapons, the technical blockade is not so strict. A thumb-sized USB flash drive can copy all the information and design drawings, how can you prevent it?

Of course, for the core technology independently developed after the war, Zhao Chenwu will not take it out easily. It's 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 are not raised for nothing. It's just that due to the information blockage, the poor living environment, and the uneven degree of technology inheritance, everyone's science and technology tree is more or less crooked.

Take the Sixth Block as an example, its self-developed and improved T-3 power armor has even surpassed the pre-war level. But on large flying machines, their research is almost blank. The opposite is true in Liuding Town, where the other survivor bases are in a similar situation.

"As for the trade volume, since you can eat it, then I might as well sell it to you a little more, right? The trade volume will be raised to 70W subcrystalline. Settled at the new price, it is counted as a one-time trade between October and November. I believe that with more goods in hand, Boss Zhao will be able to open up the market, right?" Jiang Chen smiled.

Six times the usual trade volume!

In an instant, Zhao Chenwu's breathing became a little short, but he was worthy of being a big man, and he quickly regained his calm appearance.

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

It's coming, just waiting for your words. A smile rose at the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth.

"I think so too. So, in order for me to be able to get this 70W worth of crystals into my base, I need your help. ”

Zhao Chenwu was stunned.

"Your convoy can cross such a long distance to get freight here, can't you even solve that little trouble?" Zhao Chenwu asked in disbelief.

Apparently, he knew that there was also a source of diffusion near the Fishbone base, but it was too far away to affect the sixth block. The Neutral Zone is not a charity, so there is no reason to send troops to help other survivors clean up that trouble.

"Transporting and fighting are two different things, we have the technology to get the goods somewhere, but it's up to me to get them in. ”

Orbital airdrops, aircraft teleportation, whatever Zhao Chenwu thinks, Jiang Chen doesn'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 have a good idea of how many subcrystals I have invested in this transfer station, after all, everything is bought from you." If I couldn't handle this danger, would you still let me stay here if you were my boss? Or wouldn't it be more efficient to start working together again from a more 'trade-friendly' base? ”

Then, he lowered his voice and looked at Yang Chenwudao, whose expression was gradually solemn, with a smile, "I don't guarantee that the next representative who comes here will still choose the Zhao Group to become a partner, or simply relocate, and then trade with that Liuding Town." We are all about efficiency, and if I 'fail' with you, will the person who succeeds me continue my strategy? ”

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

I didn't finish the sentence, but I stopped there.

There seems to be some truth to that. If my subordinates take so many resources from trade and invest them in the construction of defense, but you will come to me for support as soon as the danger comes? If Jiang Chen is withdrawn by the "Fish Bone Headquarters", will the new representative maintain the original "defeat strategy"? It's hard to say.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chenwu began to fidget, he had already tasted the sweetness of food trade, where would he be willing to give up. What's more, the big deal of this 70W subcrystalline has already been placed at the door, and he is still counting on using this batch of goods to occupy the grain market in the sixth block and gain greater influence in the Committee of Ten

What he didn't know, however, was that all these assumptions were based on the existence of the "head office". Jiang Chen didn't finish his words, but left enough room for Zhao Chenwu's imagination.

Tell half of the lie, and smart people will naturally round up the lie for you, and if you say too much, it will be easy to expose flaws.

"What do you want for support, I've got you covered. Zhao Chenwu said in a deep voice. His interests have long been tied to Jiang Chen's chariot, and if he loses Jiang Chen's supplier, all his deployments will be disrupted.

This must be helped, even if it is a loss.

Just wait for his words.

Hearing this, a slight smile flashed at the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth.

"10 sets of T-3 type power armor, I bought it at 110% of the cost price. He didn't take the opportunity to blackmail him, Jiang Chen gave a fairly attractive price.

"This can't be!" Zhao Chenwu stood up and said in a lost voice.

It's not a question of money at all!

Even though he was in power and was one of the ten-member committees, there were still nine people staring at him. How many small capitalists and small parliamentarians below are staring at his position, which does not allow him to be careless.

Even if it comes from your own factory, every piece of regulated equipment must be registered. It is not allowed to be sold, and it is difficult for anyone to cheat on this.

If you break the rules, the consequences can be severe. This is equivalent to giving competitors an excuse to suppress him.

"Nothing is impossible. Think about it, what does this risk count compared to the profit you will make? 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 the moment.

In the end, the hero's eyes relaxed, and he compromised.

"10 sets of T-3 power armor, each set of 13,000 crystals, I will have 10 slaves with chips to wear and send them over, and then report the death in battle. As for those 10 people, you can take care of them yourself, and don't let them show up in the sixth block anyway. ”

Zhao Chenwu rubbed his temples a little tiredly, propped his arms on the table, and waved his hands as if he had given up.

"Great, my friend. Don't worry, you've helped me so much, and the benefits are indispensable. The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth hooked up a triumphant arc, but it was fleeting, and he expressed his gratitude to Zhao Chenwu "sincerely".

"Let's talk about it along, I know that 10 sets of power armor is definitely not enough. But only this time!" "Anyway, they have already violated discipline, and they don't care about the extent of this violation, Zhao Chenwu fortunately let go."

As long as you don't get discovered.

"One Raider infantry vehicle. ”

"No problem, 'during the mission' will just blow up a 20,000 subcrystal. ”

"Give me the goods first, I'll have to solve that trouble before I can get the food in, and then pay the new price. ”

"No problem, I'm not short of time. ”

"By the way, I might need a few high-energy vacuum bombs, the portable kind. Zhao Chenwu's attitude was so crisp, Jiang Chen began to be a little embarrassed, and said with a smile.

"Okay. Together with the disposable launch base, 100 subcrystals, I said that when the scrap is dismantled and reported to the thing, what's the use of that thing? Zombies can't suffocate, and they don't have much fat on them to burn. ”

"Just assume a possible situation, then you don't need to worry about it, so happy cooperation?" Jiang Chen didn't ask for anything, and said with a smile.

"Happy cooperation, you'd better not let my investment go down the drain!"

Jiang Chen looked directly at Zhao Chenwu's eagle-like gaze fearlessly, and smiled happily, "Don't worry, my ally, don't you think we're helping each other?"

I've made a concession on the price, and you've got to help with that, right?

Help each other?

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to use the word for each other.
