Lehman's voice was full of temptation, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Zhang Shusheng, as if he wanted to see something flaw in that young face.

As a potential ally, Lehman hopes that he can grasp Zhang Shusheng's weaknesses and catch his flaws, so that in the future cooperation, the investment of the Camby family will be guaranteed to be profitable.

However, Zhang Shusheng has no emotional changes on the surface, but deep down he is shocked and inexplicable.

25 million cosmic coins, what is this concept?

A standard G-type space battleship only costs 250,000 Cosmic Coins, which is equivalent to 250 million Longshan Coins.

Zhang Shusheng only felt that for a moment, there was a feeling that happiness came too suddenly.

If a person wants to pull up a team and build up his own power, he must have production and trade.

Therefore, when Zhang Shusheng came to this era, he couldn't wait to scrape together enough money to open a factory at the beginning, and then quickly set up a line with the Germans to start trade.

With both production and trade, the Chinese Empire was able to move from the local armed forces in the small mountain villages to today, and become a force that dominates the earth and can radiate the entire Lost Star Field.

The earth civilization is very weak now, not because Zhang Shusheng is particularly short of money, people or technology, but because he lacks a person who can trade.

Last time, he successfully defeated the Garimo people and obtained the qualification to access the universe virtual network, and then knocked out 10 million cosmic coins from Garimo's young master Quinn, which is basically enough for trade.

However, if you make a special trip to the outside of the Lost Star Field just for 10 million Cosmic Coins, it is too risky and very uncost-effective.

However, Zhang Shusheng has no choice, although the Chinese Empire is now in the stage of rapid development of first-level civilization, it lacks both cosmic coins and points, and its development will be slowed down sooner or later.

Only by scraping together enough capital and running a large procurement trade in one go can we solve the problems of rapid development and the construction of the imperial armed forces for a period of time.

Zhang Shusheng had long planned to do some business to raise money, such as the three special economic zones announced by the empire earlier.

One is located in the northwest of the mainland, one is located at the junction of Africa and the Middle East, and one is located at the junction of the former North America and Canada.

Three special economic zones managed and operated by the Empire are essentially super-giant plantations as restricted areas for immigration.

Although the vast majority of the crops currently planted are to improve the environment and soil and lay the foundation for the large-scale cultivation of special cash crops in the future, they are also growing a kind of food that is very popular in secondary civilizations: stone rice.

In addition, the earth only has resources, but as a civilization with unlimited potential, it should not do such a thing as selling its own resources, many civilizations sold their rich mineral deposits and other resources in the early stage of development, paid a huge price, and finally after the development of civilization, they had to buy it back at a price dozens of times or even higher.

It seems that time is exchanged for money, but Zhang Shusheng is unwilling to do so.

Today, it is unpleasant to stupidly sell one's own resources, such as the seemingly abundant energy mines on the earth now, and then buy them back at a price dozens of times or even higher.

If he can get money from other channels and make money, Zhang Shusheng will not do this kind of dry and fishing.

Zhang Shusheng once saw the story of a civilization, that civilization was a plant planet full of exotic flowers and plants, and it happened that another higher civilization was very interested in the high-quality natural rare plants on this planet, so this first-level civilization began to sell flowers and trees frantically.

A hundred years have passed, and although the first-level civilization that has been shouting about the continuous development and continuous trade of flowers and trees, it has earned back a lot of technology, resources and products, but it has still not been promoted to the second-level civilization, but it is no longer full of flowers from a hundred years ago.

Those who sell flowers and trees are better, and they can make up for it in more than a hundred years, and those civilizations that have dug up the mineral deposits on their planet will soon taste the consequences. At the beginning, he sold the minerals to those monopoly companies at a low price, and then when he needed them, he bought them back at dozens of times the price.

"Mr. Zhang, can't my proposal move you yet? I have lived on Earth for more than four hundred years, you are the youngest ruler I have ever met, and the greatest ruler, you should understand that this is a golden opportunity, and as a businessman, I am willing to invest in an ally like yours. ”

Lehman said with a seeming sincerity.

Zhang Shusheng turned around and said excitedly: "Mr. Lehman, do you want to invest in me?" Investing in the Chinese Empire? ”

Lehman smiled and nodded, "So to speak. As a civilization with great potential, the civilization of the Earth you lead is worthy of my investment.

In many parts of this universe, there is a special kind of investment behavior called agent investing.

For example, I am very bullish on Mr. Zhang, invest in your entire civilization, and all you need to do is sign an agent agreement in the presence of the Cosmic Bank. ”

Zhang Shusheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then retrieved a piece of information about agent investment from the dream system in his mind.

The so-called agent investment means that investors will look for some particularly potential civilizations, give them investment in technology, goods, resources, etc., and then, after the rise of this civilization, they must meet some conditions put forward by investors.

These conditions could be vassalage, alliances, or simply terms of trade between large corporations and planets, etc. Of course, there are also those that are directly settled with Cosmic Coins.

This kind of ultra-long-term investment behavior with great risk is different from traditional investment, not only is it extremely risky, but also often takes decades, hundreds or even thousands of years as the investment cycle.

Moreover, due to the extreme risk and the fact that there is still a situation of denial of account, only the Universe Bank in the whole universe can carry out guarantee business.

In the universe, many forces, many large companies, and businessmen are keen on this kind of ultra-long-term agent investment.

The rewards are just too scary.

There are many examples in the literature.

For example, there was once an ordinary commercial company of a second-level civilization, a company that could not even enter the 100,000 in the national ranking, because they found a backward civilization with great potential, and they did not rudely capture this civilization as a slave or occupy it, but made an agent investment.

As a result, just over 700 years later, the small commercial company was rewarded with 15 administrative planets.

It's a billionaire business.

If that company had only classified this planet as a slave planet in general, it would have been able to obtain a maximum of millions of cosmic coins, and even if it sold that relatively primitive planet, it would only be tens of millions of cosmic coins. However, the value of the 15 developed administrative stars they finally got can no longer be measured in money.

Eventually, that commercial company was directly founded and a family-style business alliance was formed, which became a second-level civilization of reading power.

Of course, the benefits are huge, and so are the risks.

There are examples of success, and naturally there are examples of failure, and there are many more examples of failure.

For example, there was once a third-level civilization that discovered a civilization that was at the peak of the first-level civilization and was very valuable for investment, so it launched an agent investment.

A steady stream of technology, a steady stream of products, and even technicians are constantly supporting this first-class civilized country.

As a result, two hundred years have passed, this first-level civilization has an interest relationship with the investors of the third-level civilization, and does not take the civilization around it into its eyes at all, and after quickly entering the second-level civilization, it brazenly launched a war, and as a result, it was beaten by several second-level civilizations, and the capital star was captured in less than two months, announcing a change of hands.

Although, in the end, this third-level civilization launched a war of revenge, but those second-level civilizations took the opportunity to throw themselves into another third-level civilization, and in the end, the war between the two third-level civilizations was also over.

There are many cases of failure, some of which are slow development, and even if they have received huge investment, they have not improved for thousands of years, which is directly equivalent to investment failure.

Some developed rapidly, swelled, and soon fell into endless wars, and finally destroyed.

In the end, the conditions proposed by the investors could not be met, and they could only make compensation that was almost the same as the extinction of the country, but in the end, the investors still lost.

"Agent investment, it's very interesting."

Zhang Shusheng said shockedly, although his tone did not change, but he was shocked in his heart.

The risk and return expectations are equally large for proxy investment, and the whole universe is only guaranteed by the universe bank.

The investment agreement is signed between the investor and the agent under the witness of the Universal Bank, and the two parties are evaluated, such as the investor's conditions, the investment situation, the development of the agent, the degree of repayment, compensation, etc., there are special evaluation agencies.

Moreover, this appraisal agency is very convincing, because this kind of agent investment, not that I invest 10 yuan in you, and you give me 20 yuan back, it is an investment behavior with a conceptual surname, and the universe bank is responsible for evaluating and guaranteeing the entire process.

As a super predator at the same level as the virtual universe network company in the universe, he is fully capable of guaranteeing and being fair and just.

Lehman actually wanted to invest in the Chinese Empire because of his understanding of more than 400 years of earth civilization, especially this mysterious and surprising Chinese nation.

Lehman definitely didn't know that Zhang Shusheng had such a deep understanding of agent investment so quickly, and he was not prepared to throw out his investment intention so quickly, but he was led up step by step by Zhang Shusheng's 'greed'.

Now, he wanted to see if Zhang Shusheng was willing to agree.

"Mr. Lehman, these four hundred years have allowed you to make an investment intention as an agent, and it seems that your understanding of the earth's civilization is beyond my imagination."

Zhang Shusheng said with a smile, and did not affirm or deny the agent investment he proposed.

Lehman was not in a hurry, and said with a smile, "In the past 400 years, thanks to relatively advanced biotechnology, I used to live in all corners of the earth for half of the time.

Maybe you don't believe it, I used to be Shi Dakai's subordinate, and I saw him defeat Sichuan with my own eyes.

I also fired the first shot of the American Civil War.

Oh, and come to mind, I used to be a sailor on a Colombian ship.

……”

This time, it was Zhang Shusheng's turn to be shocked, these aliens are really idle eggs, hundreds of years, there are really people who spend time like this.

But think about it, there are only one or two thousand people in the Kambi tribe, there are not many things, there are a lot of worries, Lehman occasionally comes out to play, there is advanced biotechnology, whether it is disguise or disguise, it is not too troublesome.

For more than 400 years, if you add this way of life, Lehman is definitely an earth-to-earth expert.

However, emotion is emotion, and business is business.

"We can talk about the investment of the agent, we can talk slowly. But the business of 25 million cosmic coins, I can agree to it now. ”

Zhang Shusheng is not allowed to do more entanglement, some business is not the best negotiation in one day, but to take it slowly, and now it is the Kanbi people who are impatient, not him Zhang Shusheng.

Lehman nodded, the business can be discussed slowly, now solve the problem of eating the clansmen first, and then talk about the rest of the matter.

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, my conditions are not as harsh as other investors mentioned, let's not talk about the rest, let's do this transaction."

Lehman said generously.

Zhang Shusheng naturally understood that Lehman still wanted to see if he could solve the problem of food.

After all, the road to the Lost Star Domain is not going through, it is the consensus of everyone, and the Kambi people and other lucky people have paid a heavy price for being able to wander here.

As a cunning businessman, Lehman is a shrewd businessman who doesn't see a rabbit or a hawk.

The two sides then discussed some more details, but Lehman proposed that the first deal be scheduled for the end of 1951.

Although the food of the Kambi tribe is urgent, it is not enough to eat the last meal and not the next meal.

But Zhang Shusheng was not satisfied, if he traded again at the end of the year, he would not be able to catch up with the money and set sail.

"Mr. Lehman, I have a way to get the food you need in five months."

Five months is the limit time to go back and forth through the Lost Star Field, Zhang Shusheng said mysteriously, in Lehman's opinion, Zhang Shusheng has mastered a secret route.

"Five months? How do you prove it! ”

Lehman asked, confused.

Zhang Shusheng smiled slightly and said, "In one transaction, I bought back some of the grain you need by the way, you only need to wait for two days, and I can transfer it to you from the warehouse." ”

"Very good, Mr. Zhang, I am very happy to work with you. If you can show me grain tomorrow, even if it's a grain, I'll agree to trade it in five months' time. ”

Lehman said happily.

"Okay, nice to work with."

Zhang Shusheng thought to himself, of course he could, he would go to exchange food at night.
