In front of Settlement No. 1, two red-faced men were clasping hands.

One of them is the boss of Goblin Technology, WC Really Mosquito, and the other is also from a lot of background, a quartermaster under the command of the Tiger Warlord.

Although this brother has a low military rank and is only a thousand-commander, he has more than 10 billion shots.

Even for the sake of money, the mosquito can be regarded as showing some respect and politeness, and shaking his hand enthusiastically.

"Happy working together!"

"Hahaha! Happy working together! ”

When he said this, although Chopra's heart ached, he still squeezed out a reluctant smile on his face.

1 silver coin for 100 Xilan coins......

This price is simply lost to grandma's house!

Seeing the pain on his client's face, the mosquito couldn't help but feel distressed for him.

It's not that he is moved by compassion, the main thing is that he doesn't specialize in reverse exchange trading, and in the end, it was Fang Chang's dog thing that helped him exchange money, and he also paid 20 points of profit for this.

In other words, Fang Chang's dog didn't do anything, so he prostituted 20 points from his own profits in the name of "financial service fees".

Although it means that he earns more, the mosquito still feels angry when he thinks of that smug face.

Let that dog thing win again!

Gan!

But at this moment, his eyes rolled, and a brilliant idea suddenly came to mind, and he looked at the commander Chopra and said with a smile on his face.

"Pen friend, I treat you as my own, and my customers are my family, but there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not."

Chopra hurriedly said when he heard this.

"Speak!"

"This Xilan coin, I guess he'll be finished sooner or later, rather than let you be cut leeks by the bank of Golden Gallen Harbor, it's better to let me- cough! I mean I can help you! ”

Mosquito originally wanted to slowly understand the relationship between the circulation and value of money from the perspective of inflation, but this guy's smart look dispelled this idea.

No way.

Even if he drains his saliva, I'm afraid this guy won't understand the internal logic of the depreciation of the Xilan coin.

Besides, even if this guy understands, when he relays it to his boss, General Jeha, he is afraid that the confidence of the information will have to be discounted, so that the latter can understand it.

The eyeballs rolled again, and the mosquito's face regained the smile like a spring breeze, and continued earnestly.

"This Xilan currency is falling endlessly, I'm worried about you, now you need more than 100 million to buy a tank, maybe 1000000000000 next year, how many shirts do you have to knit to change one back? Not to mention that our wardrobes are almost full of you, and if you don't change some new tricks, you may not be able to get out so many Xilan coins next year. ”

Chopra said with a bitter expression.

"Do you think we want to, it's not like we can't help it. The money printing machine is in His Majesty's hands, and he has the final say on how to use it, as well as silver coins, including the dinar...... The foreign exchange we earn, as well as the customs duties we pay for our exports, are all deposited with the Royal Mint. We received the West Coins from them at a rate of 1:12.5, but we tried to exchange them for silver coins at that price, but we couldn't. ”

The mosquito said bitterly.

"Confused! Why do you want His Majesty the Emperor to print money, can't you print it yourself? ”

When Chopra heard this, he immediately said in a cold sweat.

"You can't talk nonsense, printing money privately is going to lose your head!"

The mosquito snorted.

"Who told you to print Xilan coins, there is a hammer to print that waste paper, can't you just print cat coins and tiger coins?"

Chopra couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, and she really didn't know how to complain about this guy's bad idea.

Isn't that still the same!

Nope-

To be precise, the nature is actually not the same, and if you don't do it, you will be offended by one level.

Local authorities issue money privately, backed by their own sovereign credit.

Isn't that tantamount to rebellion?

Chopra only felt the cold sweat flow into a stream, and raised his arm to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Seeing that this guy was as timid as a mouse, the mosquito didn't dislike it, but smiled and handed him a cigarette.

"Don't be so nervous, I just saw that you bought so many money printing machines, but you didn't plan to use them, and I thought it was a pity."

Chopra, who took the cigarette, was stunned, not understanding what the guy was saying.

"Buy...... Money printing machine? ”

The mosquito glanced around, especially at the Conqueror Ten tanks.

"Isn't this a money printing machine? If you buy one or two hundred and go back, I don't believe that the witch camel dares to trouble you. ”

Chopra, who was smoking a cigarette, swallowed his saliva, a little moved, but his eyes were obviously still a little apprehensive.

"You think about things simply, no matter how you say that the issuance of sovereign currency is an act of tearing your face, not to mention that no one recognizes our currency, the political risk is not small, even if it is for the sake of face, it is impossible for the royal family to -"

Mosquito said with a sigh.

"It's not that I'm simplifying things, it's that your minds don't turn around. You don't dare to issue a sovereign currency, but don't you dare to get a silver coin voucher out of the Golden Gallen Harbor? Ten vouchers will be issued for every cash or equivalent financial asset reserved for one silver coin, and you will be able to settle with the vouchers in the future. ”

The moment he heard this, Chopra only felt as if a switch had been turned on in his brain, and suddenly it was opened.

That's right......

They copied the banking system of Golden Gallen Harbor, why did they forget to copy this most critical job!

With the scale of Huzhou's economy and the throughput of trade with the Alliance, they are fully capable of issuing vouchers for silver coins, and when the time comes, they can bypass the Xilan Coins for trade settlement, and completely get rid of the blood drawn from them by the Tiandu Imperial Family.

Once the train of thought was opened, Chopra's breathing became rapid.

If this thing can be done, it will be equivalent to solving the trouble in Huzhou's heart!

And his credit is not greater than the credit for the purchase of arms!

Chopra looked at the mosquito excitedly and clenched his fist in the same way as the Union man.

"Thanks! Brothers! ”

Seeing that his comprehension was so high, the mosquito also showed a pleasant smile on his face.

"You're welcome...... Ahem, I'll just say this casually, you'd better find a special person to improve the details, I heard that there are a lot of people in the financial industry in Jingallen Port. ”

He also heard his little knowledge of bulk economics from Fang Chang, at most to the extent that he knew what was going on.

This thing is not his specialty after all, and it is not good to kill the customer.

After all, no matter how cheap the price of the arms in his hand is, someone has to buy them.

Not long after the mosquitoes sent Chopra away, Yarman, who was close to the dock, finally went ashore along the gangway.

Barren yet mechanical, like a spaceship stranded in the desert, this is his most intuitive first impression of the port and the settlement behind it.

One-third of the pier is made of metal, like a pontoon bridge made of steel plates, and the remaining two-thirds are concrete piers that are about the same as those of Xifan Harbor, stretching straight from the shoreline to the deep waters.

In addition to this, there are a number of terminals under construction, which seem to be intended for those large cargo ships carrying containers.

Not only are these docks much wider than the others, but they are also equipped with the same fixed cranes as the cranes, as well as door-type hangings.

Not only is the dock part impressive, but the situation in the warehouse area is also impressive.

Containers are piled up on the wide concrete floor like building blocks.

Forklifts and lift trucks shuttle back and forth from container to container, while dock workers in exoskeletons are busy unloading open containers......

I have to admit that the alliance's mechanical technology does have two tricks, and these dock workers work in pairs, and one person can do more work than five people in Xifan Port.

Although Yarman was surprised, he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, although exoskeletons are rare in Borneo, they are not rare in the Legion, and if necessary, he can certainly afford them.

As for the shipping of containers, while it is true that they are more efficient than bulk transportation, the demand for shipping on the wasteland itself is not that great.

If you want to open a container flight, you need not only a special ship, but also a special wharf.

Compared to the expensive maintenance costs, the added efficiency is simply not necessary.

At least that's what Yarman thinks.

Moreover, the backlog of containers is also a big problem, and the containers are not only piled up in the port, but even in the settlements.

However, the survivors were quite clever, and they directly changed the doors and windows of these iron boxes and used them as houses.

It's not too cold for the subtropical province of Haiya, and the only thing to worry about seems to be the extreme weather, and those empty boxes can be blown away by a gust of wind.

In short, compared to Xifan Harbor, which is paved with marble buildings and luxury street lamps, it is undoubtedly much more shabby.

Yarman didn't waste time scrutinizing the port, because he had more important things to do.

Seeing another container ship full of munitions departing from the port, he hurriedly walked towards the oncoming port staff.

"We have a total of eight ships here, what are the formalities to go through?"

Looking at the empty decks of the cargo ships, the port office staff standing on the dock looked at the Wilante who had disembarked with a strange expression.

One or two empty ships are not unusual, but it is a bit rare for a whole fleet of eight ships to be empty like this.

“…… There are no formalities to go through when docking, just pay the berthing fee before going offshore. However, goods arriving ashore are required to be registered before they can be discharged, which is a necessary procedure to prevent smuggling...... Need a cargo declaration? ”

Yarman shook his head quickly.

"No need."

“…… Well, I don't think you'll need to. If you need to provide additional information in the future, you can go to the port office to apply for it yourself. ”

The port office staff shrugged their shoulders and closed the open notebook again.

Seeing that the staff member turned to leave, Yarman hurriedly stopped him and asked.

"What kind of place is this?"

The staff member heard his inquiry and gave him a strange look.

"You say here? It was formerly the landing site of the Burning Legion, and now it is the Alliance's Settlement No. 1 as the Honorable Administrator intends to help the locals rebuild their homes. ”

This guy doesn't even know what this place is, so what's the fun here?

Yarman was even more stunned when he heard his explanation, and subconsciously glanced to the side again.

This settlement......

It took two months to build?!

"Here...... Don't you have a name? Shocked in his heart, Yarman couldn't help but ask.

The staff member said with a smile.

"Not yet, the manager said it was all a trivial matter. The gentleman planned to wait for more than 100,000 survivors to settle here, leaving it up to the locals to decide what to call it...... You can ask a local about these things yourself, and I'll be busy with other things first. ”

Yarman nodded blankly, watched the staff leave, and then looked in the direction of the port area, only to feel a tingling in his scalp.

He was sure that those things were definitely the equipment of the Eastern Corps Expeditionary Force!

However, what he couldn't understand was, why did this equipment appear in the Alliance's ports?

Don't......

That honorable General Leum, who has already sold them to the Alliance?!

Yarman's face changed slightly, and a hint of foreboding gradually appeared in his heart.

In order to reach the Death Coast as quickly as possible, he deliberately emptied the cargo hold and ran over empty.

If this deal can't be done, then he will really lose to his grandmother's house!

Apparently noticing the situation in the port warehouse area, the pilot captain stepped off the cargo ship and looked at Yarman and asked.

"What the hell is going on......"

There were his dividends in this transaction, and he had to care about it even for the sake of the dinar.

Yarman looked at him with an ugly look and shook his head.

"I don't know...... Something seems to be wrong here. ”

Is it just a little bit of a problem?

The captain looked at Yarman nervously, and continued to ask in a hesitant tone.

"Do you want to go to that Haibei City?"

"Of course I have to go, but before I get there, I'll have to ask around first......"

He'll need to figure out what's going on with the arms hoarded here!

Without hesitation, Yarman immediately returned to the ship, picked up a few followers, and led everyone in the direction of the warehouse.

Coincidentally, when he walked to the door of the warehouse area, mosquitoes happened to come out of it.

The two took a look at each other and immediately realized that each other's identities were not simple.

Looking at the big nose, the mosquito took the lead in handing out the business card in his hand and said with a smile.

"Goblin Tech! We provide the most professional and ruthless work, where there is an explosion, there is us. Here's my business card, find out! ”

Yarman took the business card in his hand with a confused face, and happened to see the big words "military equipment" written in the business scope column on the business card.

"Wait, you're dealing in arms?"

As soon as he heard the other party mention the arms, the mosquito suddenly came to his senses and said eagerly.

"That's a must! The hottest sales volume of our company is munitions, from small rifles to large aircraft and tanks! Need I give you a recommendation! ”

"Wait...... You wait a minute! ”

Yarman didn't bother to listen to his introduction, and hurriedly rummaged through his body, and soon pulled out the warrant and letter of introduction issued from the Governor's Palace.

Seeing the paper that this guy handed in front of him, the mosquito was stunned for a moment.

"What is this?"

Yarman swallowed, squeezed a smile on his face, and said nervously.

"Warrants and letters of introduction issued by the Governor's Office of Saifan Harbor ......"

At this moment, he was like a man who had fallen into water, trying with all his might to grasp all the straw that floated in front of him.

He also knew that this was not realistic, but he still had a one-in-ten thousand hope, hoping that the Governor's Mansion had already communicated with the Alliance, and that the person in front of him would know about it.

And yet—

The man who took the scroll looked confused, looked at the paper, and then at him.

"What is this?"

Faced with that expression of apparent disobedience to the document, Yarman was utterly desperate.

All negotiation skills are useless at this moment.

He felt like a clown standing here at the moment, but he still subconsciously said in a stammering voice.

"Like, that's what I said about the warrant and the letter of introduction, we came here at the call of the Governor's Office of Saifan Harbor to help transport the arms......"

The mosquito interrupted him impatiently.

"Gotta get it, I don't want to hear these things, just make a price if you want."

He didn't care where the Willantes were transporting the equipment.

They are better sold to the Empire.

In this way, he will be able to sell the iron knots to the various warlords of the province of Borneo.

For example, the No. 2B tank, such as the W-2 aircraft, or even the W-3 under development, etc.

With the last shred of hope, Yarman spoke almost in despair.

"According to the quotation on the warrant, we can recover this batch of weapons at the price of 10,000 dinars per ton—"

Hearing this outrageous offer, the mosquito almost choked to death from his own spit.

"Ten thousand dinars a ton? What the hell are you here to buy? Chinese cabbage? ”

He also took the excavator to exchange for those tanks!

These profiteers actually want to wholesale by the ton, and they also call it recycling, which is also shameless!

"But, but the Governor's office ......"

Looking at the stammering big nose, the mosquito interrupted him impatiently.

"Don't talk to me about your governor's office, we're an alliance! You might as well give me this waste paper with Xilan coins...... Phew, we don't accept Xilan coins here, you either pay silver coins or Cr! ”

Yarman only felt the cells tremble all over his body, and finally squeezed out a sentence from his blue lips.

"That'...... How much do you sell? ”

There is no hope for this buyer anymore, Mosquito said lazily.

"Depends on what you buy, a million silver coins for Conqueror 10."

"1,000,000 silver coins?!" Yarman's eyes widened and he glared at him angrily, "You dare to sell second-hand equipment so expensive, why don't you grab it!" ”

If it was one or two hundred thousand silver coins, he could have bought it with the pain of his flesh, and he wouldn't lose much if he went back and sold it for six or seven million dinars.

However, Mosquito was not polite to him at all, and he didn't even plan to talk to him.

"Don't buy it if it's too expensive!"

Rolling his eyes, he shoved the stack of paper back into the big nose's hand, and took the business card he had just handed out.

MMP！

After a long time, these people came to prostitute for nothing!

He was excited for a long time!

Without a moment's pause, Mosquito took his little brother directly into the off-road vehicle parked at the door, and disappeared at the end of the road in less than half a minute, leaving only a group of Willant people standing at the messy entrance of the warehouse area.

Looking at the boss who hadn't moved for a long time, one of the attendants who followed behind Yarman said cautiously.

“…… Maybe the Eastern Legion has only sold part of it, and there is still stock in Haibei City that has not been sold. Or...... Let's try our luck there? ”

"I hope ......" squeezed out a bitter smile on his face, Yarman at this moment seemed to be a teenager old, and he could no longer see the slightest trace of the spirit on the road when he came.

He wasted at least a month back and forth.

Originally, he was counting on the money he made from this transaction to exceed a little profit, which would be used to pay liquidated damages for the late delivery of sugar cubes and tea.

But now it seems that he has to suffer the loss himself.

Not only that, but those goods are hoarded in the warehouse at the Xifan Port Terminal and need to pay rent, which is also a large expense......

Just as Yarman was worried about that bill, the shadows of ships appeared on the sea in the distance.

Like ducks in the wilderness, they rushed towards the harbor of Settlement No. 1.

Zhang Ze, who was carrying goods in the port area, raised his head with a surprised expression on his face.

"Why are there so many ships?"

This job as a porter is a job introduced to him by the employment guidance center in Settlement No. 1, and the hourly wage is the same as that of Renault, who got off the bus halfway, and it is difficult to say who is higher and who is lower in terms of work intensity.

But he's still too young to be here for the rest of his life, and this job is just too much for him.

After saving a sum of money and getting the status of the alliance, sooner or later he will go back to his old business and do some business.

A colleague wearing an exoskeleton on the side put down the cargo box in his hand and said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter how many ships he comes, it has nothing to do with us, I'll go to the tavern for a drink or two after work."

Another worker, who was standing next to him, grinned and raised his arm to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"I've seen enough, I'm afraid that so many ships will have to work overtime...... Maybe you'll have to be busy until dark. ”

It's not a fries port, there are bars that stay open until the middle of the night, and most of the small shops are for scavengers returning from the ruins of the neighborhood, and close after 8 o'clock.

Zhang Ze stared into the distance for a while, thought for a moment and said.

“…… Not necessarily, I don't think the ships that came here just now seem to be empty. ”

"Empty ship?" The colleague who worked with him was stunned, "Come here?" ”

The entire settlement No. 1 is still in the initial stage of construction, and there is no output, so what can an empty ship do here?

Buying garbage?

Everyone had a bewildered expression, looking at the cargo ships rushing to the dock in bewilderment.

Not only were the workers at the wharf puzzled, but the director of the port office was also stunned after listening to the report from his subordinates.

"Blame...... Are these Willantes here for a vacation? ”

There were even a few passenger liners in those groups, although they seemed to be empty......

And while the staff of the alliance were stunned, the Willantes standing in the harbor were also stunned when they saw the freighters loaded with arms passing by them.

Boy......

They have just touched Haiya Province, and there are already people who have returned with a full load?!

That's fast!
