Chapter 863: Financial Crisis
Bentley didn't know much about Imperial society, but he was no stranger to the scene.
He has been in the settlement of Zeus VI for most of his life, and Zeus VI is a place with high commercialization even in Junk Star.
He has seen too many of this kind of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and he understands the possible routines of the other party, and there is nothing new under the sun.
It's nothing more than that the weak and the strong eat a little more red, and the means are simpler and rude.
These societies may be a little more secretive, but when it comes to the level of blood, it may not be bad here.
Just look at what happened to Tianyin, whether it is cruel or not, it has nothing to do with the degree of civilization, it is nothing more than eating people and spitting out bones.
So for these two people, Bentley didn't have the slightest good voice.
Hearing the other party's threatening words, his brows furrowed slightly, at this point, he was not the same as Qu Jianlei.
People on the garbage star never back down - weakness means being bullied.
He spoke coldly, "What did you just say?" I didn't hear ...... Can you say that again? β
The two B-class looked at him calmly, and he also looked at each other lightly, without any emotion.
Seven or eight seconds later, a B-class smiled slightly, "It seems that you are not going to give us face?" β
Bentley's eyes flashed with pity, "Nothing else?" Hurry back, it's already time to eat, buy whatever you want. β
This is the code word of the garbage star, after all, the food there is not very abundant, and it is normal to persuade people to eat the last meal.
But these two don't understand well, but their intuition is not a good thing.
One of them looked back and looked at the other suspiciously, "You mean to ...... Decapitated rice? β
The saying of decapitating meals also exists in the empire, after all, you can't let the prison prisoners eat too much, otherwise it is easy to make trouble, isn't it?
Ben didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either, he just asked slowly, "You're all going to cut off our business, right?" β
You cut off my business, I'll cut off your headβthere's nothing wrong with that.
"It's not like that!" When the other B-class heard this, he quickly shook his head and denied it.
He spoke with a smiling face, "What he means is that they are all doing business in the neighborhood and need to help each other, and we can help introduce them." β
This is the case in mixed society, he can be an uncle and pretend to be a grandson.
They wanted to be unconvinced, but they couldn't help it, the club had been too chaotic recently, and they couldn't mobilize the strength to retaliate.
In the final analysis, today's trip was also a trip where they were in a hurry to get out of the position and came in private.
It's a pity that such a big customer can let it go in vain.
If you can use both soft and hard and draw it to your own name, it not only shows your ability to do things, but others are not easy to compete for.
Their concession, that is, they will not come again in the future, and it is none of their business whether others will come or not.
Hearing this, Bentley sneered disdainfully, "That's it......"
Then his face turned pale, "I've made it clear, next time your people are no longer ignorant, there will be no warning!" β
The two B-class didn't dare to answer again, and turned their heads and walked away.
Qu Jianlei nodded and didn't say anything more.
Lao Ben's style of acting is a bit too tough, and it is not suitable for the path of a society governed by the rule of law.
Strictly speaking, under normal circumstances, it is still necessary to test and run in with each other.
Du Wuchi of Shenzhou once said that a dynamic social organization is simply a night pot.
To put it another way, it means that it is still useful and convenient at some times.
However, it is not a bad thing for the old Ben to be stronger, and tell the other party directly that he is not easy to mess with.
Everyone intends to operate this place as a base, but "people are afraid" is not necessarily worse than "people love it".
In the end, there is no need to put effort into this kind of thing, as long as the end can be achieved, the means are not important.
As for saying that the other party may hold a grudge and provoke some moths? It doesn't matter, kill a few chickens in a row, and the monkey will naturally be afraid.
In fact, after the two B-class left, they were still discussing today's operation.
"These guys are too arrogant, are they, are they really just that?"
"Let's talk about it or not, leave them alone for now, it's our home field anyway, we have a chance to go back, and we can try again."
Qu Jianlei received this information and shook his head disapprehantly.
is so greedy, and you have to look ahead and backward, no wonder you can only mix with society, the pattern is too bad......
In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
On the farm of the Homeland Star, Qu Jianlei finally succeeded in building an ordinary version of the Spirit Gathering Array.
The deduction of the light attribute exercise method was also progressing relatively smoothly, and he had already deduced the B-level cultivation method.
This was a technique that he had never been exposed to the light attribute before, otherwise, the calculation speed would only be faster.
Anyway, there is nothing to do at the moment, it is rare to set up an eighty million computing unit, and he plans to further improve the A-level exercises.
At this time, the four masters came back with Youyou.
It turned out that they had already applied for residence permits, and they also played in the park for a short time, and decided to return to watch the farm.
The main reason is that they feel that the paradise is too noisy, and they feel more comfortable at home, which means that they want to live there forever in the future.
When Qu Jianlei heard this, he also went to the park to apply for documents.
What is rare is that the old lady also found a place to apply for fake certificates and handled fake certificates for everyone.
In fact, if you have lived in the park for five years and meet the investment and other requirements, you can use your residence permit to apply for a formal relocation.
There is no problem with the amount of their investment, what they owe is the time limit, but Mrs. Jia was worried about other variables, so she made a fake certificate.
It's safer to do that, but ...... Another good sum of money.
After handling the documents, Qu Jianlei set up an ordinary spirit gathering array.
He then returns to Homestar with Paranoia, Flower Scorpion, and Bentley.
Lao Ben will also be in charge of the farm in the future, and Qu Jianlei will take the two of them and drive the ominous ship to the Lost Star.
A year later, Xiaohu has repaired three armed merchant ships, including the 8384, and six smaller ships.
Qu Jianlei didn't want to repair the other starships, but Xiaohu suggested that he repair the frigate and an aerospace carrier.
Frigates are also counted, space carriers...... Qu Jianlei really scratched his head a little, "This is a standard warship, and it's very eye-catching!" β
The big-headed butterfly replied with a heartfelt voice, "But according to my investigation, there are at least five more helicarriers in the hands of the Star Pirates. β
"You can't compare!" Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes when he heard this, "What grade of star thieves are they?" β
The star pirate forces with the space helicarrier are all necessary for the empire to get rid of quickly.
No matter where it is, as long as there are unofficial aerospace carriers, it will inevitably attract a large number of warships to encircle and suppress them.
Of course, to say that the star thieves would never dare to use the mothership is also nonsense, and sometimes it is still a live advertisement with good results.
Xiaohu didn't dare to argue with him, so he could only mumble in a low voice, "What if?" β
Qu Jianlei originally wanted to say a few more words, but after thinking about it: Forget it, Xiaohu rarely has any ideas.
And if you don't repair this mothership, you can only throw it away, it's better to use it, maybe when it can really be used.
However, he still had to make his words clear, "It will take a lot of money to repair this mothership, and we have been sitting on empty water now." β
Over the past year or so, more than 200 million silver tickets alone have been used, and tens of millions of energy blocks have been used.
- Just repairing these starships costs a lot of energy blocks.
The big-headed butterfly sighed very personically, "Then sell an armed merchant ship as soon as possible." β
In addition to No. 8384, there is an armed merchant ship, and Qu Jianlei intends to pay compensation to the one that lost the merchant ship.
After all, people bought asylum cards and suffered such a big loss, it is normal for him to pay one.
If it weren't for this reason, he would not have the audacity to seize the other party's merchant ships.
The rest of the ship can be sold, but the problem is, "sell it in full...... It's not easy to sell. β
The key is that this is the Warhammer Star Field, and things of unknown origin are even more difficult to sell!
In addition, if he wants to repair the two warships, he has to send some materials over, and there is really only an item but no input.
The economic pressure is getting heavier! Qu Jianlei even faintly looked forward to it, and someone who didn't have a long eye came to the door.
- Forget it, don't think about this, it's rare to have a long-term break.
After this, the Ominous Ship returned to Paradise Star.
Sure enough, Paradise was extremely contemptuous of this starship from the Hope Star Domain, and the inspection was very strict.
Even if Qu Jianlei and the three showed their residence permits, it didn't play a big role.
Fortunately, the inspectors verified the identities of the three people, probably because they found that their investment was huge, and their attitude improved.
Qu Jianlei came to the park this time to send Tianyin away, and her identity must be washed in her home in order to obtain a residence permit.
But before that, he still has to take a look at how the business of this homestay is.
But after looking at the bill, he was a little speechless, it had been almost a month since the opening of the business, and the income could offset the expenses.
Xiao Qin is in charge of finances, she is quite optimistic, "It is not the peak season yet, and the reputation has not been hit, but now it is good." β
"Earning or not earning...... It doesn't matter," Qu Jianlei's heart was dripping blood, but he had to say, "This business is just a cover." β
After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't anyone trouble us?" β
Not to mention, there are really eye-openings, because the grade of the homestay is very high, and some people try to sneak in at night, and they are two transformation fighters.
But they were unlucky enough, it rained that night, and they were discovered by the old lady early.
Before they entered the homestay, they were inexplicably knocked unconscious, froze overnight, and left quietly the next day.
After this incident, there was no one who could not open his eyes.
Qu Jianlei was understanding the situation, and the big-headed butterfly turned again.
"In the Sky Hook Star Domain, the Department of Alien Management is still conducting a large-scale search, and has already captured three wanted supreme ......."
Qu Jianlei didn't care much about the movements of the Sky Hook, he planned to spend a few years in the Warhammer galaxy first.
But the next moment, his face turned dark, "Oops, the materials of the abandoned ore astral body ......"
