Shangguanqi said: "I received a message from a person, guess who?" ”
Liu Yi scratched his head and said, "Don't sell it, okay?" ”
"Okay, then I'll tell you, it's Xiong Bao who sent me a message." Shangguanqi said with a smile.
"Xiong Bao?" Liu Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Is it the person you know in Juze who is the gangster?" ”
Shangguan Qi said: "That's right, it's him!" Guess what message he sent me? ”
"Could it be that he has a business to introduce to you?" Liu Yi guessed.
"You can really guess it, he does have a business to accept from me, you say it's funny, and he still thinks I'm a dealer who smuggles weapons." Shangguanqi said with a smile.
Liu Yi asked, "What business does he want to introduce to you?" ”
"I don't know about this, it's probably still a smuggling of weapons, and I haven't replied to him yet." Kamikanzaki replied.
Liu Yi seemed to be in deep thought after listening to Shangguan Qi's words, and said after a while: "Why don't you contact him and see what business he plans to introduce to you." ”
Shangguan Qi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you ...... I'm going to smuggle ......"
Liu Yi smiled and said, "That's not it, I just want to see if this Xiong Bao really has any business." ”
Shangguan Qi saw Liu Yi's mysterious look, and knew that he must have some idea again, but he didn't plan to say it yet.
"Okay, I'll get in touch with him and see what he's up to." Shangguanqi said.
In the afternoon of the same day, Shangguan Qi came to Liu Yi again, and as soon as they met, he said: "I have already contacted Xiong Bao, and he does have a business to introduce to me." ”
"Oh, what kind of business?"
"It's still a mecha, I heard him say that there is an overseas customer who needs to buy a batch of mechas, and he first thought of me." Shangguanqi said.
"He's pretty righteous in that way."
"What kind of righteousness, he saw that I was very happy to give money last time, so he contacted me this time." Shangguanqi said.
"It seems that there is a strong demand for mechs in the overseas colonies." Liu Yi sighed: "If you can do these transactions, there should be a lot of profit." ”
"Do you really want to do weapons smuggling?" Shangguan Qi couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that Liu Yi was more and more like the truth the more he said.
"Smuggling must not be done, after all, my current status does not allow it, but I wonder if we can build a factory outside the country to specialize in the production of mecha needed by overseas colonies." Liu Yi said.
"Building a factory overseas?" Shangguanqi only felt that Liu Yi's idea was too whimsical, overseas is not a peaceful place, and building a factory overseas will encounter many unpredictable complications.
"Yes, outside of China." Liu Yi continued: "In fact, it can't be regarded as a real foreign country, as long as it is near the White Stone Fortress, so that the fortress can not only protect the factory, but the factory does not have to be under the jurisdiction of the empire, and we will sell the products to overseas colonies, so that it is not smuggling, and the empire cannot control it at all." ”
"But...... There is no planet for humans to live near this fortress, and there are too many conditions to build a factory nearby. Kamikanzaki said.
"My idea is to build a factory in space, and many large ship factories are built in Space City, in fact, our mecha factory can also do the same."
"Did you drink too much?" Shangguan Qi said suspiciously: "There is no space city here that can be used to build a factory, do you still plan to build a space city?" That's not something we can afford! ”
"It's not possible to build a space city, but we can find a way to use what is available, like we go and build a factory and come back, and then renovate it, so we can save a lot of costs." Liu Yi's demeanor was very serious when he spoke, and it didn't look like he was joking.
"Pick up a factory? Where can I pick up a factory? Shangguanqi felt that Liu Yi was already a little mentally abnormal, and he was talking in a dream.
"How did you forget? Haven't you seen a lot of ruined and abandoned space cities outside of your country? We can go and pick one up and come back. Liu Yi said with a grin.
Shangguan Qi was shocked by Liu Yi's whimsical thoughts, it was the first time he had heard that someone was going to pick up a space city and come back, and he had gone outside the empire to pick it up.
"I said, are you thinking too much, those space cities were abandoned, weren't they abandoned because they were useless? Even if we do pick one up, wouldn't it be a waste? Shangguan Qi rubbed his temples and said.
"We don't need to get the whole space city back, we just need to get the useful parts, which can save time and cost without attracting the attention of others, which can be said to be a good way to have the best of both worlds."
Shangguanqi immediately shook his head and said: "I still don't think it's feasible, this is not an ordinary thing, but a factory or even a space city, I have never heard of such a big waste picking activity." ”
"Just because no one has done it before doesn't mean we can't try, and what rule in the world says we can't do it?" Liu Yi said with a smile.
Shangguanqi sighed and said, "Forget it, I can't talk about you, if you really want to do this, I have reservations." ”
"Don't be in a hurry to retreat, I still need to think carefully about this matter, and then you can decide whether to retreat or not when you really have a plan."
"Alright, alright, I hope you can come up with a plan, anyway, it's too big to imagine." Shangguan Qi spread his hands and said helplessly.
Shangguan Qi walked to the door as he spoke, suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "By the way, how can I reply to Xiong Bao over there?" Tell me about it? ”
Liu Yi thought for a moment and said, "Don't refuse first, you first ask him where that customer is." If possible, it's a good idea to meet with the client and get to know the situation in more detail. ”
"Why is that? You don't do smuggling! Shangguan Qi asked puzzled.
"It's called market research, and it's about understanding potential customers and preparing us for the future." Liu Yi said conclusively.
"Okay, I'll try."
In the next few days, Liu Yi began to write his ideas into a rough plan, carefully thought about many possible problems, and then wrote out how to solve them, and then revised his plan.
It's good not to think about this matter carefully, once you think about it carefully, you will find that there are indeed many issues involved, far more than those raised by Shangguanqi.
However, most of the problems can still be solved, and the key is the cost, if the cost is too high, the plan will not have a basis for existence.
During this period, Shangguan Qi also contacted Xiong Bao again, and Xiong Bao told Shangguan Qi that the other party was from the overseas colony Tuoyuanxing, and Xiong Bao refused to confide in him who it was.
Shangguanqi knew that Xiong Bao was afraid that he would bypass him, an intermediary, and contact the client alone, so that he would not be able to get the intermediary fee.
Shangguan Qi was not angry about this, anyway, he didn't really plan to do this kind of business, and he only came to understand these situations because of Liu Yi's request.
So Shangguanqi asked Xiong Bao why the other party would find him, and Xiong Bao told Shangguanqi about this without reservation.
"Mr. Guan, you should have heard about Bai Wenxing recently, right?" Xiong Bao said.
"Bai Wenxing?" When Shangguanqi heard Bai Wen, he couldn't help but be concerned.
"That's right, it's the people who did business with you last time, aren't they from Bai Wenxing?" Xiong Bao said.
"Yes, I remember." Shangguanqi said: "What's wrong with Bai Wenxing? ”
"Some time ago, I heard that a big man in Bai Wenxing was caught by the White Stone Fortress, and then handed over to the Imperial Court, this incident hit Bai Wenxing very hard, many Bai Wenxing's businessmen don't dare to come here now, and they have gone to other places, and the impact on our Juze is not small......"
"I've heard about this, does it have anything to do with the business you introduced?" Kamikanzaki asked.
"It doesn't matter, Bai Wenxing's people don't come, their old rivals start to come, and the people who are looking for me this time are Tuoyuanxing's people." Xiong Bao said.
"Are Tuoyuanxing and Bai Wenxing old rivals?" It's the first time I've heard of this.
"Of course, these two colonies have been fighting each other for the past few hundred years, and they haven't fought much in recent decades, but they don't communicate with each other, they are like the poles of a magnet with each other, where the other side is, the other side will definitely not come." Xiong Bao said with a smile.
"Is it so serious? These two colonies are so interesting! Shangguanqi also laughed.
"In the past, it was mainly Baiwen people who came to Juze to do business, so Tuoyuan people rarely came to Juze, and now Baiwen people don't come much, so Tuoyuan people have begun to increase a lot."
"There is still this history!" Shangguanqi said with emotion.
"Isn't that right? In fact, these foreign colonies have a lot of entanglements with each other, and there are many other messy things. ”
"Why aren't they fighting now?"
"Why else, I can't even move! Now these places are in ruins, and they are still fighting internally, so they don't fight each other much. ”
"It's a pity that they are all the same kind, and they can still fight like this......"
"Hehe, if they don't fight, how can we people make money, don't you say?" Xiong Bao said heartlessly.
"yes, thanks to them." Shangguanqi dealt absentmindedly.
"Mr. Guan, you have asked so much, do you want to take this business?" Xiong Bao is still concerned about making money.
Shangguanqi pretended to think for a while, and finally said: "Forget it this time, I don't have so many goods in my hands now, wait for next time." ”
