Chapter 660: Insidious Guy
In the asteroid belt, there is an asteroid called Lanyun, which is very similar to iron filings, and the environment is about the same.
The difference is that the atmosphere of Lanyun is a little more normal than the gas of iron filings, with slight radiation but no toxicity.
This star is an industry owned by Pudding Mining, which had previously mined minerals for a period of time and was later mothballed.
Since there is a mine, there must be people left behind to prevent people from stealing mining, and the number of people left behind cannot be too few, otherwise safety is also a problem.
However, without mining, there is no output, and the economy is not in and out of the economy, and the people left behind themselves are quite boring.
Later, some starships occasionally stopped to replenish gas, and the people who stayed behind thought that they could open a market here.
After reporting to Pudding Mining, the group also agreed to do an experiment - after all, it is an open source act.
Trading in the vastness of space is quite uncertain, but with the support of Pudding Mining, safety is basically guaranteed.
Both sides of the bazaar trade are in the asteroid belt to make a living, and there are also professional brokers and the like.
As for security, it's Pudding's staff, who don't bother with transactions and only charge management fees.
Therefore, many of the items bought and sold here involve prohibition, and they do not pay taxes to the empire, which is also considered an underground black market.
On this day, an armed merchant ship appeared in the atmosphere and made a request to land.
The security officer zoomed in on the image and couldn't help but complain, "I'm rough, what kind of is this."
The shape of the armed merchant ship is rather odd, with patches on the hull and broken pipes and bridges.
It is so miserable that people are very suspicious that this merchant ship will disintegrate in the next moment.
However, all the people who came were guests, and the other party asked to land, and the guard just asked very simply, "Do you know the rules?"
"Yes," the other replied more simply.
The guards casually gave a stop, and the next moment, the armed merchant ship slowly fell.
Looking at the metal pieces on the merchant ship swaying in the wind, the guard couldn't help but shake his head again, "What the hell."
Immediately after, a mecha flew towards the merchant ship and stopped when it got closer, "10,000 entry fees."
The market opens every ten days, and the entrance fee of 10,000 yuan can stay for ten days, of which half a day can be collected for free.
This is a perk offered by the bazaar, but if it is more than half a day, you will be charged.
There is a huge air mass here, but it is not inexhaustible, and it is necessary to set an upper limit.
The merchant ship's mechanical arm slowly poked out, clutching an alloy box on it, "Here."
Looking at the smooth and shiny robotic arm mecha driver, he couldn't help but snort lightly, and said in his heart that it was really not a good thing.
It is estimated that those rags are all camouflage, and whoever really thinks that this merchant ship is weak and wants to pick up a bargain, it is estimated that they will hit their heads and break their blood.
After taking the box, the mecha pilot felt the weight inside, and was stunned again, "Is it a silver dollar?"
Qu Jianlei snorted, "I didn't say that the silver dollar can't work, right?"
The bazaar pays the entrance fee, and hard currencies such as silver tickets, energy blocks, and gold can be used, as long as they are equivalent, and silver dollars can naturally be used.
He couldn't have handed over the energy block, and he didn't want to pay the silver ticket - the main thing was that he didn't want to get out of the cabin, and he had to spend so many silver dollars.
The mech pilot stopped making a noise and turned to leave.
Xiaohu turned on the gas collection, and then asked Qu Jianlei, "Don't you plan to go out for a walk?"
"Forget it," Qu Jianlei didn't like to communicate with people, and he didn't want to be discovered, so he was the only one on the battleship.
Anyway, the regulations in the bazaar do not require the crew to be out of the cabin in order to complete the transaction.
Otherwise, the mecha just now has the right to ask him to go out of the cabin and pay the entrance fee.
Then he tried to connect to the market's network and found that he could do it.
Four days later, he looked through the Internet and found that there was an online trading platform.
There are those who want to buy, and there are those that are sold, but none of them have a clear price
, simply indicating the need.
"There are still deals on the platform?" The big-headed butterfly spun excitedly, "I'll check their price."
Qu Jianlei is not very sensitive to price, and he has never been good at bargaining.
But Xiaohu is used to searching, which is also the nature of artificial intelligence, and he gets stuck in the lower limit to deal with things.
Of course, Qu Jianlei will not object to it doing this, and it is not very good to be the wronged leader.
The price of historical transactions cannot be found on the trading platform, but it is difficult to resist artificial intelligence.
But then the lake found a little more.
"If you trade online, the delivery and collection will be done by the market, and there will be a management fee of 10 points."
However, if you only indicate your demand on the platform, the bazaar will not charge any fees.
The big-headed butterfly was a little puzzled by this, "Then everyone will have to go offline trading, who wants to pay more?"
"I'm afraid it's not what you think," Qu Jianlei saw a clue.
"In the case of online transactions, the bazaar is responsible for the delivery, and by the way, it is responsible for the trading behavior."
He is not averse to this kind of extra charge, and he should pay a reasonable fee if he enjoys the convenience.
If conditions permit, he is willing to pay an extra 10 percent, at least it will save a lot of possible trouble.
But Xiaohu, a money fan, can't accept it, "Is Pudding Mining necessarily credible?" They don't do it because they have little interest."
This is indeed the case, Qu Jianlei nodded, "Then let's also release the requirements."
He has a lot of needs, shipboard weapon systems, ammunition, raw materials, computing units, and energy blocks.
Qu Jianlei did not qualifically require online or offline transactions, but only said that what I wanted should be discussed in detail.
The detailed discussion is likely to be an offline transaction, but he is not really a hint in doing so.
There is no way to make a clear list of the things he needs, and he doesn't want others to guess what he intends to do.
Although it is not the time of the big market, as long as the buyers and sellers are in the market, they can be traded sporadically.
The management of the bazaar immediately discovered his trade request.
The management should review the content of the transaction to prevent the emergence of a demand similar to "seeking to assassinate so-and-so".
Although this is not a formal market, some of the excessive requirements still cannot be openly displayed on the trading platform.
Otherwise, if nothing else, what should I do if the supreme who was assassinated by a bounty came to the door***?
Discussed in private, the bazaar will not be asked, but it must not be made public.
In addition, the management party will also be involved in the transaction, some people need it, the pudding can be provided directly, why not make money if there is money?
But when he saw the number "8384", someone snorted coldly, "That thing, can you afford so many things?"
"It's not what you think," one of the mechs retorted, "that's a sinister guy......
As soon as he said that the robotic arm was "smooth and shiny", his colleagues reacted.
"This kind of guy is a troublemaker, except for asking about raw materials, we don't participate in other transactions."
When these people were talking, they were so immortal, and there was a sound collector next to them.
Supposedly, this is a bazaar installation, for internal use only, but who would have thought that an artificial intelligence would sneak in?
When Qu Jianlei heard this comment, he could only smile bitterly, "Xiaohu looks at the good things you have done."
For this tattered look, he has talked to Xiaohu several times: Do we want to be so exaggerated?
But the big-headed butterfly replied eloquently, "This can better disguise its true face and mislead the other party's perception at the first time."
The truth is this, but it just makes people feel uncomfortable - I can't get rid of the entanglement with the tatters?
After a while, an armored car really came, and it did not hide its origin at all, and it was marked with a pudding logo on it.
"8384, what raw materials did you buy?"
The robotic arm poked out again, and there was a screen on it, listing seventy or eighty materials, both alloy and non-metallic.
Pudding Mining did not eat all of this list, but only selected some metals and alloys.
Mining companies only trade with their own inventory, and they don't bother to touch what they don't have.
The amount of this transaction is not large, only about 200,000, Qu Jianlei still chooses to trade in silver dollars.
The two sides didn't even see each other at all, and the transaction was completed, and as for the energy block, neither side mentioned it.
There is certainly no shortage of energy blocks in the bazaar, but it also costs to transport them.
The point is that they feel that the other party is a little abnormal, so they even give up on some items that can be traded.
Pudding is certainly not afraid of anything, however, no one likes trouble.
The armored car that went back even said, "More than 200,000 are all silver dollars, it can't be that this guy robbed the star thieves, right?"
Of course, the latter sentence is purely lip service, after all, very few starships carry a large amount of silver dollars with them.
However, this also shows from the side that this tattered merchant ship is definitely a potential hidden danger, who is a serious person with so many silver dollars?
In fact, it is not only the market management that is staring at this transaction.
After discovering that the transaction was successful, people came one after another to ask what the other party needed.
In good conscience, the shape of Qu Jianlei's merchant ship is really too eye-catching.
Xiaohu is right, it does divert other people's attention, but it doesn't feel good to be so maverick.
That is, when there is a successful transaction, someone will continue to move forward.
Qu Jianlei received several waves of people, feeling that there were many brokers, and some even dared to make a big deal and promised to supply all the goods.
He refused without hesitation, saying that the seller could only choose one type of what he purchased, and then talk about the type in detail.
Anyway, it's still early to get to the big set, and it is said that when it comes to the big set, there will be a lot more people.
However, there is a strong sense of interest, and some people say that they can provide all kinds of ammunition.
Ammunition in space is also hard currency, but the price will fluctuate to a certain extent.
The seller said that he brought more ammunition, and he took advantage of the number of selling points before the big set, and it was auspicious, and it would rise by 30%.
Qu Jianlei thinks that the price of floating 30% is not high, and there is nothing wrong with storing a little more ammunition in space.
But Xiaohu, a wealth fan, didn't agree, and it said fiercely.
"Ammunition, do you still need to spend so much money to buy it, wouldn't it be enough to destroy a few more armed merchant ships?"
