Ideal City.

In front of a spacious door, Fang Chang stopped, glanced at the envelope in his hand, opened it, took out a card from it, and swiped it on the door. A blue ripple spread along the lock, and the door clicked back.

What catches your eye is a spacious reception room, with a few sofas on a black, white and gray lattice carpet, and a simple and atmospheric decoration that is very corporate style

Case. In this crowded city, spaciousness is a luxury in itself.

A woman of about twenty-five or sixteen sat on the couch in the middle. She was wearing a silver coat, and what was impressive was her slender legs, as well as the two delicate eyebrows on her beautiful face.

The two delicate eyebrows are like a soft crescent moon, but they can't hide the heroic eyes and the radiant light in those eyes. Most of the people who can attend this party are the upper class people of Ideal City.

And from her temperament, Fang Chang could feel that this was at least a rich woman. At least.

"Hello, Ms. Li Shuyue, I've kept you waiting." In any case, he was a guest, and Fang Chang made a gentlemanly opening remark. The woman sitting on the couch did

A gesture of please, said in a pleasant voice.

"Don't be so polite, Alliance Warrior, but I took the liberty to disturb your rest, please don't be polite, feel free to sit down." "Then you're welcome."

Fang Chang smiled faintly and found a sofa not far away to sit on. The waiter brought tea for the two.

There is a fragrance in the mist, which smells faint, but there is a kind of comforting comfort. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, but they talked about inconsequential topics.

What was very interesting was that Fang Chang could feel that she was different from those rich ladies on the dance floor, there was no emotion such as admiration or curiosity in her flickering eyes, and her appreciative eyes were more like encouraging herself to continue.

Is it to examine the investment environment of the alliance?

Thinking of this, Fang Chang couldn't help but raise his spirit, and he was no longer restrained, and began to run the train with his mouth full, blowing from the development of the alliance to the individuals in the alliance. For example, Fuji Teng, who runs a small workshop, was blown by him as a master artist.

Crow, a strong perception powerhouse who wanders around like a street runner all day long, is blown by him into a mushroom craftsman who is bent on pursuing the most perfect mushroom. And scrambled eggs with tomatoes have become the heir of the scrambled egg family who has mastered 888 lost recipes, and Irena has become Bei Ye who explores edible xenomorphs

Even the second cargo of the mosquito was blown by him as a rocketeist who dreamed of exploring the edge of the galaxy. intendant

The manager didn't seem to need him to blow it, and the figure riding the claws of death, bathed in the sunlight that pierced through the dark clouds, was full of force. I heard that there is already a film studio in Ideal City, and I plan to shoot a movie based on him.

I don't know if he knows about it.

When bragging, Fang Chang didn't have any psychological burden at all, after all, it was more than 3,000 kilometers away from the alliance, and even if he was curious, it was impossible for everyone to go there. "Wait, what's that lost 888 recipes...

." Listen:

For a long time, Li Shuyue seemed to be most interested in this, and asked curiously.

Fang Chang said with a smile.

"Well, there's so much content that I can't finish for a while. As for the lots that appeared in the auction before, they were related to food, and they were somewhat related to the recipes. "Including this?"

While speaking, Li Shuyue reached out and took out a pack of instant noodles from the drawer of the table next to her, her eyes full of curiosity. As soon as he saw the Laokeng sauerkraut instant noodles in her hand, Fang Chang's expression suddenly became embarrassed.

"Well, this one was made by mosquitoes." Li Shuyue frowned.

"But didn't he dream of becoming a rocketeologist on the Kuiper Belt?" Fang Chang hurriedly forcibly explained.

"It's a work of interest to him, and although his main business is tinkering with rockets, he occasionally makes some strange things like this one you have." Oh no, bragging is too much, it seems to be a bit of a goof. Fang Chang secretly said in his heart.

However, Ms. Li Shuyue didn't seem to think that there was any loophole in this story at all, but after being silent for a while, she sighed softly. "It's incredible, it seems that the rumor is not unfounded."

Fang Chang was stunned.

"Rumors? What rumors?"

"There was a discussion on the endpoint cloud that the ancestors of Vault 404 were all artists," Li Shuyue said with a smile, "At first I didn't believe it, but now I do. Fang Chang coughed.

"I don't know where you heard this rumor, but of course there's nothing wrong with saying that! We did inherit something special from the Federation, especially on a cultural level. "

Hearing him say this, Li Shuyue's eyes became brighter and brighter.

However, Fang Chang could feel that she didn't fully believe what she said, at most she believed half of it. But what does it matter?

The corners of his mouth tugged at a subtle smile, he had already predicted hers. Half of the letter?

That's unbelievable

It seemed that she had mastered the information she wanted to know, Li Shuyue suddenly changed her expression and said with a serious look. "Let me introduce myself again, I am the CEO of Ruyue Group, and this is my business card."

With a slight stroke of his slender fingertips, the pale blue holographic window turned into a white coffee table and floated in front of Fang Chang. Fang Chang, who was only a game special effect, was not surprised, and dragged the business card with his index finger to take a look at it.

But soon he found that he had read it in vain, and he didn't know anything about Ideal City, so he couldn't understand what was written on this business card. Ruyue Group?

Isn't there only five major groups in Ideal City?

Our company is invested and controlled by Ideal Group, mainly engaged in food sales and processing related industries. Looking at Fang Chang, who was looking at the business card and fell into deep thought, Li Shuyue continued in a pleasant voice.

"Honestly, it's the first time I've seen such an interesting product, although it's not very healthy, and it doesn't last very long, but it tastes unexpectedly good, how did you come up with these novel ways to cook?"

Fang Chang's expression was slightly subtle, and after thinking for a moment, he made up a reason that sounded like that.

"For us, food belongs to the realm of culture, and eating is not only to meet nutritional needs, but also to be spiritual." "That sounds interesting." Li Shuyue said with interest.

"I've looked at the historical literature, and there have been similar cooking techniques throughout history, but in the early years of the boom era they were gradually replaced by scientific ideas, and then the concept of food, as we say now, was just to meet nutritional needs, according to you."

"Maybe it's because people after the era of prosperity have a rich enough spiritual world that they no longer need to sacrifice their health or anything else to get satisfaction. Of course, this is just my personal speculation. "

Fang Chang just said casually, but he didn't expect the lady named Li Shuyue to nod thoughtfully. "That's an interesting idea, but it's just as you said." "Maybe, but I'm not an expert after all." Taking a sip of black tea, Fang Chang said in a casual tone.

"But I feel that you know very well, I heard from your ambassador that your identity is not only a soldier, but also responsible for the promotion of the alliance's products," Li Shuyue looked at him with blazing eyes, "Are you interested in cooperating?"

It turned out that I found myself because of this for a long time.

Hearing Li Shuyue's words, a happy smile appeared on Fang Chang's face. Isn't that what he's waiting for?

"Of course, we're here to find cooperation, I don't know which way you want to go?" No more nonsense, Li Shuyue said straight to the point.

"According to our market research, we believe that the next six months will be the best window for the alliance's products to enter the ideal city, and the residents here are very interested in your cultural products, and I think food will be a good entry point."

"We can provide two sets of solutions, the first plan is that you are responsible for production and transportation, and we are responsible for sales. The second package is that we set up a joint venture subsidiary, you provide the personnel and technology, especially the relevant food formulations, and we provide the capital and space to produce and sell locally in the ideal city. "

After quietly listening to the detailed explanations of the two sets of plans, Fang Chang nodded lightly. "No problem, we can provide all of this." Li Shuyue was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, just smiled.

However, just as she was about to use "happy cooperation" to lead the topic to the contract, the man opposite suddenly changed his words and said. "However, I have a better proposal than the two sets you offered, I wonder if you are interested?"

The excitement was poured cold water, and Li Shuyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. "Oh?"

To be honest, she didn't think a new idea could come up in a commercially backward survivor settlement. But-

Let's just listen to what he has to say.

Not caring about the disapproval in his eyes, Fang Chang cleared his throat and began his flickering.

"Whether it's exporting products or starting to export formulas, it's not in our best interests to do so, after all, those formulas are not a difficult thing to be honest. If our products can really be sold out of stock in Ideal City, I am afraid that it will not take two days for your competitors to refer to your sales data and make a competitive product that is more in line with market demand. "

Li Shuyue said immediately.

"You can rest assured that we have a well-established patent law, and we also have our own R&D laboratory, which will improve the formula based on market and consumer feedback. As long as we do it faster and better than our competitors, we don't need to worry about being replaced. "

Fang Chang nodded and said simply.

"Of course, what you said makes sense, but let me make an assumption, if the follow-up formula is completed in Ruyue Group, does it still have anything to do with our joint venture subsidiary?" A touch of surprise appeared on Li Shuyue's face, and her heroic eyes narrowed slightly.

"Oh? Are you worried that we will not keep our promises?" Fang Chang said in a gentle voice.

"Of course I didn't mean that, just a reasonable assumption. You have the technical advantage and know the local market and rules better than we do, so you can do it

Within the framework of the rules will maximize the benefits, honestly, if there is a contractual entanglement

I really don't have much confidence that I can beat you. "

Li Shuyue said impatiently. "So what is your proposal?"

"It's not realistic to transport cheap consumer goods with expensive capacity, and the formula itself is not that valuable, and we don't plan to export the product, nor do we plan to export the formula, but to export the standard." "Standard?"

Looking at Li Shuyue, who was hesitant, Fang Chang nodded and said dryly. "That's right."

Li Shuyue frowned. "Can you be specific?"

"To be specific, it's storytelling."

Looking at the blank expression on her face, Fang Chang smiled and threw out what he had prepared for a long time

Okay, that set of rhetoric.

"For example, Coke, this thing actually has no technical content, but Nuka-Cola sells better than Vega Coke or other Cokes in Boulder City, because the Alliance's administrators recommend it as a substitute for alcohol in public, because the Alliance's awakened people are drinking those mercenaries and they will wonder if they can also awaken after drinking that thing."

"Another example is fried chicken, which is even less technical, but as long as we want to, it can annihilate a division of the legion tomorrow, I mean 10,000 people. Another example is that pack of instant noodles in your hand, although I honestly don't like to eat it, but as long as we need it, it can also become our military rations, and then they will sell well on the endpoint cloud, can you understand what I say?"

Listening to this long and colorful description, Li Shuyue looked at the man in front of her with interest. Good guys, even the wastelanders know about the brand effect? It is not about taste or nutrition, but about emptying consumers' wallets with cultural added value.

If this is the case, it will be really difficult for her company to kick him away after developing the market and completing the upgrading of the product, after all, what is valuable is no longer the patents and formulas, but the inherent impression in the minds of consumers.

In fact, the success of Ideal City's products in the wasteland is largely not just because of the technology, but also because of the brand behind it. And she did consider doing so, creating a best-selling brand with alliance characteristics, using higher barriers to restrict competitors from entering, and harvesting the wallets of the residents of Ideal City.

However, she originally planned to do this after the Ruyue Group thoroughly digested the technology of the partner.

After all, this kind of hen that lays golden eggs, of course, it is better to hold it in its own hands, and there is no need to let others get a piece of the pie. It's just that she didn't expect that the ambition of the person in front of her was so big.

As soon as he came to Ideal City from that poor country, he had already thought about making the alliance's products into a best-selling brand of Ideal City. "It's kind of interesting." A hint of appreciation appeared in Li Shuyue's eyes.

She'd seen quite a few wastelanders.

Most of those people are rude, short-sighted, cunning, and have no big cleverness, but little cleverness constantly. They can't be blamed for that, though. After all, in the precarious environment of the wasteland, it may be difficult for a long-term person to survive even to the next month.

To be able to think about things that are so long-term, this guy does have two strokes. Do you want to be slacking off?

But even if they don't agree, they can probably find someone else to cooperate. Thinking that she was praising her proposal, Fang Chang's face showed a pleasant smile. "It seems that we have reached a consensus, so let's talk about the details of the cooperation, such as how to sell this standard."

Li Shuyue stared at the face for a while, and suddenly threw out a sentence that had nothing to do with business. "While we generally don't give permanent residency to Wastelanders, there are certain exceptions."

Naturally, she changed her sitting position, her right leg was lightly placed on her left knee, and the corners of her plump lips curled up with a smile I suddenly have some liking for you, are you considering settling in Ideal City?"

Although it was a joke, the expression didn't look like a joke. The chief admits that the proposal is indeed attractive.

Life here is really good, it's like a different game compared to the wasteland. But-

"It's an honor to have your appreciation, but I already belong to it."

Looking at the polite man in front of her, Li Shuyue was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting that her proposal would be rejected. However, she was only stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly and said disapprovingly.

"Don't get me wrong, all I like is your business ability. Without further ado, let's talk about the details of the collaboration. "Appreciation is appreciation, but it's just appreciation.

It's like passing by the window of a store and seeing a new piece of luxury.

She didn't mind swiping her card to buy it, but she wasn't going to queue up at the door like the nouveau riche.

With her assets, family, and appearance, she doesn't have what kind of man she wants, and she can't rob anyone from her. However, this guy's unimpressed appearance still annoyed her.

Isn't the old lady attractive at all?

didn't take that sarcasm to heart, Fang Chang just smiled faintly, crossed his ten fingers on his knees, and said calmly. "Of course, when I say that my heart belongs, I mean that my heart already belongs to the Alliance."

"Then as you wish, let's talk about the specifics of cooperation."

.…………… Square long dividing line·......·· The lounge next door to the ballroom.

The mole slumped on the sofa was having fun with virtual reality glasses

At. Suddenly, the colorful light and shadow flashed and disappeared from his eyes without a trace. The dazed-eyed mole looked up and saw that the glasses were on Fang Chang's hand.

"What are you playing? So dedicated. "

Seeing that Fang Chang was about to put his glasses on, the mole quickly reached out and snatched the glasses back, sweating profusely and smiling embarrassedly. "I just played some ordinary little games, and I flipped them on the endpoint cloud."

As the inhabitants of "Utopia" are concerned, the people here are really open-minded. Fang Chang asked curiously.

"Is it fun?" It's average, it's not fun, but playing virtual reality games in virtual reality games is unexpected to me. As he spoke, the mole couldn't help but praise in his heart. One thing to say, these years, the big factories are making games with their feet, making dIc with their buttocks, making money with their heads, and frying cold rice over and over again, but they just refuse to do new tricks.

It is the conscience of the industry that such in-game easter eggs can be singled out as a masterpiece for independent masterpiece release. Must blow a wave of Ah Guang, worthy of bragging 100% real virtual reality game.

It's all too true!" In short, the operability is OK, the degree of freedom is OK, and the content is quite large, but it is not realistic enough. Fang Chang was stunned for a moment, and asked after a moment of silence

Is this game serious?"

"Poof, what do you want, just a normal RPG game, have you ever played the Free Lancers? It's the kind of person who watches the spaceship!" As soon as the mole glanced at the expression on his face, he knew that this guy was absolutely crooked, so he quickly changed the topic, "Don't talk about calves, why did you come back so soon?"

"Only talking about business?" The mole looked at the guy suspiciously, "I don't believe it. Fang Chang rolled his eyes, didn't bother to explain to him, and found a place to sit down casually.

Of course, he wouldn't tell this guy that he had just negotiated a deal worth hundreds of millions for the Alliance.

Ruyue Group, which is controlled by Ideal Group, plans to invest 100 million CR to establish a joint venture with Niuma Group to establish a chain catering institution "Changyue" Catering. At present, the confirmed brands include the "Kenda Chicken" fast food restaurant, which mainly provides fried chicken and cola, and the "Niuma" hot pot restaurant.

Exporting "pre-made dishes" to sell instant noodles?

Of course, that kind of business can be done, but the profit is too low, and he really can't look down on it.

Moreover, the food safety standards of Ideal City are too high, ordinary food cannot come in at all, and the alliance's own food is not surplus, so it is better to produce it directly locally than to import food from the alliance here.

As Fang Chang said, export standards.

At present, the plan that has been finalized is that the "Changyue" Group will send employees to the alliance, and the Niuma Group will be responsible for arranging the training of these employees, and then return to the ideal city as chefs and store managers after the training. Still immersed in the game just now, the mole reminisced for a while, stared at the glasses in his hand, and suddenly spoke. "Anyway, I find this virtual reality game interesting and interesting, but the gameplay is too simple." Fang Chang glanced at him.

"How else can you be rich?"

Mole: "I'm not saying that it's a question of abundance, but I'll give you an example, I've just played about three RPGs, one with an interstellar theme, one with a fantasy theme, and one with a roughly alternate history. The three games are all open world types of old rolls, the map is the boss, the skills are old, the NPCs can be easily interacted, and the degree of freedom is also high, but the selling points of the three games are the same, which is outrageous!"

Fang Chang glanced at him.

"That's not good? In reality, if there is, I will buy it out. "Anyway, even the easter eggs are made in such detail?

In the past, Brother Guang bragged to him, saying that most of the content of "Wasteland Online" was automatically generated based on the player's cognition and dreams, and he didn't believe it at the time. Now, it seems, it's really not bragging.

He'll have to experience it when he's free.

Expecting that Fang Chang would react like this, the squirrel made a helpless expression.

"That being said, it's boring to be in this genre on the entire gaming platform. For example, MOBA, chicken games, I don't see it at all, it's outdated. Fang Chang was slightly stunned.

Although this may sound a bit outrageous, he seems to have found another way to make money

The next morning, in one of the sprawling buildings, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the president's office on the top floor let in a ray of sunlight.

Looking at the draft contract in her hand, Li Shuyue, who was leaning on the office chair, faced the steel forest that had emerged from the clouds, holding a cup of coffee in her hand, and gently pursed her brows. 100 million Gr.

This budget is a small amount for the parent company, Ideal Group, but it is right

For Ruyue Group, it is not small. After a moment of thought, she stretched out her index finger and swiped it lightly on the table. A pale blue holographic window is projected in front of her, interweaving a three-dimensional composition of the bust.

In an electronic tone without waves, Assistant Al whispered. "Dear boss, what do you command?"

She said succinctly.

"Get me a plane ticket to the south of the Valle province."

With a distance of 3,000 kilometers, even the most authentic news will spread out of shape. If she doesn't go there to take a look, she is always unsure. Assistant Al reminded.

"Enterprises do not have regular flights to the southern part of the province of the valley, and according to the relevant provisions of Resolution 1001, the charter of aircraft capacity needs to fill in a form to declare, explain the relevant reasons, and issue relevant certificates."

Li Shuyue said casually.

"Then you can help me write casually, and the reason is to fill in the market research." The virtual image floating on the desk bowed slightly.

"Yes."

1 second to remember:
