Chapter 217: Baiwen Chamber of Commerce
Shangguanqi didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and it wasn't a good thing to offend people when he first arrived, so he planned to expose the matter and forget it.
The bald man refused to let go of this matter, and asked the person who was captured by Shangguan Qi, "What happened just now?" ”
"The cause of the incident is all to blame him, I heard him say that our mecha is broken copper, so I argued with him, who would have thought that he would suddenly attack while I was unprepared, otherwise how could I be caught by him!" The man beat him upside down, and a wicked man came to sue first.
The bald man stopped doing it as soon as he heard this, glared at Shangguan Qi viciously, and said: "What a broken copper and iron, I want to ask, have you ever seen a mecha, dare to ridicule us like this, it seems that you must have a better mecha, you might as well take it out for us to see!" ”
Hearing the bald head say this, Shangguan Qi almost laughed again, and Liang Song on the side was full of embarrassment, and he wanted to speak several times but couldn't interject.
Shangguanqi smiled: "Okay, since you want to see it, then there is Lao Laoliang." ”
Liang Song pulled his bald head aside and whispered: "I think it's better to forget it, people are guests I invited, so I can also give me a face, it's not good to hurt the harmony." ”
The bald head didn't buy it, and said arrogantly: "Lao Liang, it's not that I don't give you face, it's just that I can't bear this tone no matter what, as long as he can come up with a better mecha than me, even if I plant it today, how about I apologize to him?" ”
Liang Song sighed secretly, and said in his heart: "You have to embarrass yourself, I can't help it, you just wait to apologize to others......"
Liang Song shook his head and said to his subordinates, "Go and unload the mecha on the ship." ”
Shangguan Qi smiled: "Bald head, this time let you see, what is a real mecha, your pile of scrap iron should have been thrown away a long time ago!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, wait until I read it! If your mech isn't as good as mine, I'll have to tear your mouth apart! "The bald head is still very hard-mouthed.
Shangguan Qi smiled secretly: "How unknowledgeable is this guy to treat his broken mecha as a treasure." ”
After a short time, the two mechs brought by Shangguanqi were transported out of the smuggling ship and put on the open space, and then everyone worked together to remove the packaging outside.
The two mecha reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight, looking shining and extremely powerful, although the fixtures on the mecha have not been lifted, but just by looking at the appearance, you can know that these two mecha are many times stronger than the mecha of the bald head and others.
There is no need to say anything more now, everyone knows that the bald head has lost, but for the sake of face, no one can mention what the bald head just said.
The bald man's face flushed with shame, pretending to look at the mecha, not daring to look at Shangguan Qi.
Liang Song was afraid that Shangguan Qi would say anything more humiliating to his bald head, so he lowered his voice and said to Shangguan Qi: "Mr. Guan, forget it today, don't worry about it, he is just a rough man, don't be like him." ”
Shangguan Qi didn't want to cause trouble, so he smiled and said, "Got it, where should we go now?" You can't just stand here all the time, can you? ”
Liang Song saw that Shangguan Qi no longer cared, and hurriedly said: "That's right, let's go into the city quickly!" ”
After speaking, Liang Song hurriedly ordered his subordinates to start working, while the bald head and others stayed in charge of the guards, and the others loaded the mecha into the car and entered the city with several smuggling leaders.
The convoy drove mightily towards the city, and the road was littered with ruins and walls, which had been badly damaged by the fighting.
Judging from the ruins, it should have been a large city in the past, but now there is hardly a single figure to be seen, and there are wild grasses growing everywhere, and there are some unknown animals from time to time.
"Lao Liang, why did you Bai Wenxing fight like this? Is there really such a deep hatred? Shangguanqi looked at the scene outside the car window and asked casually.
Liang Song replied: "I can't tell the real reason, anyway, I have been fighting since I was born, and everyone regards each other as the object that must be eliminated, as for the original reason, no one mentions it." ”
"And who governs your city?" Kamikanzaki asked.
"This city is called Red Island, it is the largest city of Bai Wen Xing, and the city is under the jurisdiction of Bai Wen Glorious Brigade, as for us merchants, we are all members of the Chamber of Commerce, and we do not take sides." Liang Song replied.
"Chamber of Commerce?" Shangguan Qi asked curiously, "It turns out that you still have a chamber of commerce!" ”
"This is nothing unusual, if it weren't for the Chamber of Commerce as a backer, where would we businessmen be able to get along."
"Won't the armies come to exploit you?"
"They want to, but the Baiwen Chamber of Commerce has a lot of power, and none of these warlords dare to offend, otherwise as long as the Chamber of Commerce fully supports any party, the other warlords will be finished!" Liang Song said proudly.
"And what is your position in the Chamber of Commerce? Is it the president? Shangguanqi asked jokingly.
"Mr. Guan, you are also exalting me too much, I am just a small deacon in the Chamber of Commerce, not even a local committee member." Liang Song introduced.
It turns out that the Baiwen Chamber of Commerce is a global organization here, and most of the merchants of Baiwen are members of this chamber of commerce. The power of the Baiwen Chamber of Commerce is very huge, almost monopolizing all kinds of trade in Baiwen, and becoming the absolute master of Baiwen's economy.
The Baiwen Chamber of Commerce has branches in various places, each branch is composed of a number of members, and there are various positions below, and a smuggler like Liang Song is just a small deacon under the branch, and the weight of his speech is very limited.
Shangguanzaki remembered that when he eavesdropped on their conversation, he had heard them say that the attack on the patrol boat was actually a task given by the above, and that these smugglers took the risk of carrying out this mission, naturally for money, and on the other hand, to be able to squeeze into the members of the branch.
Therefore, Shangguanqi speculated whether this task would be the task given by the Baiwen Chamber of Commerce, but it is not yet known whether it was issued by the branch or the headquarters.
The convoy gradually entered the urban area of Hongdao, only to see that many high-rise buildings had been abandoned, the streets were full of abandoned vehicles, all kinds of garbage were flooded around, and occasionally a few ragged people could be seen picking up garbage.
Shangguanqi asked, "Why can't you see anyone in this city?" ”
"Don't worry, it will be lively when you get to the island, these places are no longer inhabited." Liang Song said.
The convoy turned around the streets, and finally came to a huge steel bridge, under which a very wide river flowed, and at the other end of the bridge were many dense buildings.
"In front of it is Hongdao, which is not only the largest city in Baiwen, but also the original settlement of human beings in Baiwen, which has developed into the current city after many years." Liang Song introduced.
The convoy crossed the bridge, and sure enough, there were many people on both sides of the road ahead, all kinds of small business people set up stalls on both sides of the street, and the people who came to buy were crowded, and the speed of the vehicles became slower and slower because of the large number of people.
After finally passing through the downtown area, the convoy finally came to a shipping terminal, only to see the colorful large containers neatly stacked on the dock, the river is full of all kinds of boats, busy loading and unloading goods, the busy scene and the outside of the city formed a huge contrast.
Kamikanzaki noticed that there were several large warships in the middle of the river, and on the decks of the warships stood tall mechs, which seemed to be performing guard work.
"What's that?" Shangguan Qi asked, pointing to the warship and mecha.
"Those are the ships of the Glorious Brigade, they are responsible for guarding the city, and we provide them with all kinds of support."
"Does the army have the money to pay you?"
"Whether there is money or not depends on whether the army can win, as long as you take a city, the army will make a fortune, and then naturally there will be money to pay us."
"If we keep fighting like this, won't everyone get poorer and poorer?" Shangguan Qi said.
"Then it's not up to us people, anyway, that's how it is now." Liang Song shrugged and said.
The convoy finally stopped in front of a large warehouse, and Liang Song poked his head out of the window and shouted "Hey! Where are they all dead! Come and open the door for me! ”
The noise of the horn was very harsh, and after a while, a few people with guns came out of nowhere, and when they saw Liang Song, they all panicked like a mouse seeing a cat, and apologized to Liang Song vigorously.
"Are you all eating idle meals? Let me shout for so long! Go ahead and open the warehouse door for me! ”
"Yes, yes, we'll ...... right away Go and ...... immediately," the men agreed, and ran quickly to the other side of the warehouse.
A few minutes later, the huge iron door of the warehouse slowly rose, Liang Song beckoned, and the convoy drove in, all of them into the warehouse.
"Mr. Guan, we're here." Liang Song said with some excitement: "This is the territory of a few of us, let's rest for a while, and then I will take you to the Chamber of Commerce." ”
"I'm not in a hurry to go to the Chamber of Commerce, what can you pay me?" Kamikanzaki asked.
Liang Song said with a smile: "Mr. Guan, don't worry, when we go to the Chamber of Commerce, we will have money to get things done, and we will naturally pay Mr. Guan a lot at that time." ”
"I hope so, I've come all the way to get this money, it's not easy." Shangguanqi said: "In addition to this accident, I have to make a few more sounds, otherwise this trip will be in vain." ”
"It's easy to do, I'll introduce you to some friends from the Chamber of Commerce when the time comes, there are many business opportunities here, it depends on whether Mr. Guan can seize it."
"Tell you, I've got more than that, I don't believe people here are not interested!" Shangguanqi said with a smile.
The two got out of the car as they spoke, and Liang Song led Shangguanqi to a corner of the warehouse, where there was a building similar to a two-story building, Liang Song said that it was his office, and asked Shangguanqi to go to the office to rest first.
Walking into Liang Song's office, there were a few people in it who were busy, seeing that Liang Song was back, they got up to greet each other, Liang Song pointed to Shangguan Qi and said to everyone: "This is the distinguished guest I invited, you must treat him well, if anyone is not well entertained, I will let him get out immediately!" Did you hear that? ”
