Extra 1: Interstellar Trade, Gold Placer
[Please note that the spacecraft is about to arrive, so please be prepared to land.] 】
A crisp and pleasant sound of the broadcast sounded inside the huge spaceship.
"Oh, is it there? I heard that there is a genius on this planet, and I don't know what the temper of the other party is. ”
A young man with beautiful heterochromatic pupils plays with a chip in his hand.
"Regardless of your temper, you have to gain the trust of this genius for the company, at least, not as hostile."
In front of the young man, on a virtual projection screen, a man in a suit and top hat said,
"Dust, this genius is not the same as Calderon Chadwick, according to the report of the last expedition, he himself has the strength of at least the rank of envoy."
"You should understand that whether it is the identity of a genius or the strength of the envoy, they all have the qualifications to be faced by the company, and when the two are combined, this Wang Daoyi will be a rising star in the universe."
"Don't worry, Diamond, I've never lost, have I?" Leaning on the sofa, the gold dust crossed his legs, "Do you want to gamble?" I bet he and I could be friends. ”
In the virtual screen, the man named Diamond seems to know this man named Dust Gold very well.
"Ha, if a gamble can make you interested, then I bet, I bet on how much the Qatar galaxy will earn in three months."
Dusty Gold, who was leaning on the sofa, sat up straight: "That's a lot of credits, I'll follow, if I lose, all the gains of the Qatar galaxy in the next three months will be at your disposal, and if I win, I'm going to make a big gamble in Qatar...... Bigger than the Star Lotto. ”
On the virtual screen, Diamond didn't care at all: "I don't care about this, I just need you to do your best to get this genius's friendship, Lady Heta's side often delays reporting results, we need more genius allies." ”
"Oh, I've heard that the company has approved another experimental fund for the Blacktower space station, let me think, oh, it's enough 800 billion credits, enough to buy a resource galaxy for a hundred years." With a sneer on her face, "With such a big investment, I don't know how the Technology R&D Department made the decision." ”
"Credits need to be circulated and consumed, you should understand, and according to the contract, these credits will be used to purchase the company's supplies." Diamond replied calmly.
"Ha, okay, I don't care about this, anyway, it's the money spent by the technology research and development department, and it has nothing to do with us, I just want to know, this time to recruit this genius, how much money do you give me, you won't let me go to someone with empty teeth."
So far, Placer Gold has not received funds from the company's activities.
This is clearly not normal.
That's why he asked.
"Economic autonomy." Diamond replied.
Jin was stunned for a moment, and a trace of shock appeared in his eyes: "What? ”
What is economic autonomy?
To understand this question, we must first understand the current economic system in the universe.
In the pan-bank trade system with Interstellar Peace Company as the main body, the vast majority of planets, forces, and even groups have no economic autonomy.
In the pan-universe trade, whatever products or materials they produce will be priced by Interstellar Peace.
Under this system, most traders do not lose money.
Because the company will leave them with a certain profit margin,
But if you think about it with your toes, you also know that the real big profits must have been made by the company.
For example, the price of a certain cargo in the interstellar society is 1 million credits,
On the planet where the goods are produced, its cost may be 100,000 credits (or the corresponding local currency),
Then after Interstellar Peace connects it to the trading system, the purchase price given may be 200,000 credits.
It looks like the goods are produced by the planet that made a full double the profit.
But in reality, eight times more profits were harvested by Interstellar Peace.
Of course, some people may say, what if I bypass the Interstellar Peace Company and cooperate with other interstellar forces?
Haha, of course you can, who are you?
Followers of the hunt? Or is it a family under the protection of harmony?
Oh, it's not, what? Isn't our Star Destroyer a big StarDestroyer? Or are we not enough of our war fleet?
Do you know what it means: open the door, free trade.
And in such a system,
The right called economic autonomy is precious.
The company will evaluate the price of the goods on the corresponding planet and give a guide price, but the producer of the goods has the right to determine the price.
That is to say, if the company is priced at 100,000, you can directly mark the price of 1 million.
If the company doesn't want it, you can sell it directly to other members of the trading system, without going through the company's channels.
This is economic autonomy.
Of course, don't think that the company will be so kind as to give such rights,
Generally speaking, the forces with such power have at least a few envoys behind them.
If you don't even have multiple orders, then how dare you talk to the company about autonomy, and accepting the company's economic protection is your only choice.
"Don't be surprised, according to the report of the research ship, there are at least dozens of advanced Destiny Pathers on this planet called Teyvat, and the existence of other Destiny Paths cannot be ruled out." Diamond spoke.
The gold dust body straightened up: "There are still envoys who don't know?" Did they examine a loneliness? Can't confirm such important news? ”
After a trip, you will know the name of a planet, and part of the information of a genius, and nothing else, which is simply ...... Rubbish.
How does this kind of person get into the market development department?
Wait a minute!
Placer gold notices that something is wrong.
"No, no, shouldn't it be the business of the marketing department to pull the unknown star field into the light of the Amber King? Why did you let me come? ”
In accordance with normal company procedures,
The exploration fleet of the market development department discovers the new world,
It should be established by the people of the marketing department.
Then the business consolidation department will send people to carry out follow-up business activities.
It's not his turn to be a strategic investment department for debt collection.
"Haha, are you just reacting now?" In the projection, Diamond laughed, "The reason is very simple, that genius has already obtained our information from Lady Heta, and even received the gaze of Bo Zhizun, and the normal relationship is no longer in line with his identity, so the company has decided to directly invest in this planet for the long term." ”
Investment, accounting, are the work of the Strategic Investment Department.
Dust gold suddenly: "I see, then, in addition to independent economic rights, the type of investment I can give, the amount of investment, and how much action funds can be used for reimbursement?" ”
"Investment permissions below P46, if there are questions involving the Star God level, you can apply for P47 permissions." Diamond replied.
The P level is an internal employee hierarchy established by Interstellar Peace, and it also represents the corresponding authority and responsibility.
The highest of them is P47, they are the most powerful beings in the entire universe, and in a sense, they are more influential than the star gods.
Then there are P36~P46, who are the core members of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, and can go to the center of the company [Pier Point] to receive deeper secrets and rights.
Then there is P16~P35, which is considered a reserve of the company's top management, usually responsible for various affairs of the company's cooperative galaxy, and belongs to the small leadership level.
Then there is P14~P15, which is a regular employee and enjoys the formal treatment and benefits of Interstellar Peace.
Finally, there is P13 and below, which is a complete temporary worker, although the company's propaganda [people with dreams have the opportunity to become regular, joining the company is the first step towards success. But the vast majority of people can only be temporary workers for the rest of their lives.
Even so, on some poor small planets, becoming a temporary worker of Interstellar Peace is also a dream life for ordinary people.
"Level 46 clearance, tsk, it seems that the board really values this genius."
As he spoke, Dust Gold stood up and looked at the giant airport that surrounded the beautiful planet.
"How long has it been since the last expedition visited?"
The projection of the diamond appeared beside him: "According to the timing of most short species, it is only three years. ”
The corners of the gold sand mouth twitched, revealing an interested smile, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to the huge starport in front of him, as well as the strange spaceship that was gradually approaching: "In three years, the civilization on the planet in a report has developed to this point, is this the ability of genius?" It's horrible. ”
"As I said, don't underestimate any genius, in the history of the Genius Club, there is no shortage of terrifying beings who have developed a disordered civilization into a cosmic civilization in a short period of time."
The projection of the diamond also looked at the distant space port and the rapidly approaching spaceship.
"Warning, this is the Teyvat Airport Patrol Fleet, you have broken into our airport, please stop moving, turn off the engine, explain your intentions, if you refuse to carry out the execution, we have the right to open fire."
"Repeat warning, this is the Teyvat Airport Patrol Fleet, you have intruded into our airport, please stop moving, turn off the engine, explain your intentions, if you refuse to carry out the execution, we have the right to open fire."
Hundreds of warplane-like spaceships surrounded the huge spaceship that Jin was riding.
(Airport-class cruising fighter is responsible for the security patrol of the space airport.) )
Behind these fighters, several real warships were also eyeing each other, and the gold dust could even see that the muzzles of some energy cannons had begun to glow purple.
He knew that if he refused the other party's notification, then these huge cannons, which looked to be at least twenty meters wide, would definitely fire directly.
(The Abyss-class battleship, the main battleship of the [Interstellar Frontier Council], is currently moored at the airport for repairs.) )
Shaking his head, the gold dust reached out to his ear: "Stop sailing, turn off the engine, turn on the radio, I'm going to speak." ”
Soon, the company's pitch-black giant ship stopped, and the huge engine behind the ship gradually stalled.
"Lord Jinjin, the communication broadcast has been turned on, and the signal shows that the other party is also equipped with synesthesia beacons and remote sensing, no need for translation, you can speak directly." A report from his subordinates came from Dusty's headphones.
"Good." Dusty Gold smiled and stepped forward, "This is the Dusty Gold of the Strategic Investment Department of the Interstellar Peace Company, I am here for trade, before this, our exploration team has obtained cooperation intentions with the Lord of the Red Sand, please verify." ”
The words of the gold were sent into the battleship surrounding him along the signal of over-range remote sensing.
In the battleship, countless data flickered,
[Void system verification,
Querying:Keywords·Interstellar Peace Company,
The information exists and is being verified......
After verification, neutral units, allowed to enter the airport,
The Chairman of the Interstellar Frontier Council Feligis has been notified,
Ask the fleet to escort the target into the airport. 】
Long
Message came from the fleet surrounding the company's spaceship:
"This is the Teyvat Airport Patrol Fleet, we have verified your information, please follow the fleet into the airport, we have prepared a reception for you."
The communication is complete,
The fleet that originally surrounded the company's spacecraft changed its formation, from encirclement to defensive escort,
The spaceship wrapped around the company flew towards the airport not far away.
(Space Harbor Teyvat Interstellar Exploration Council Base 1, responsible for mooring the development fleet and space environment research.) )
Entering the airport, after dozens of inspections,
Dust Gold and his team are entering the heart of the airport.
"I am Feligis, the Acting President of the Teyvat Interstellar Frontier Council, and I will welcome you to Teyvat on behalf of the Teyvat Interstellar Frontier Council."
Feligis uses the word "visit", which is enough to save face.
The members of the company who have just been tested dozens of times have a better face.
"Ms. Feligis, thank you for your reception, I am the head of this mission, Placer Gold, under the company's strategic investment department."
"Strategic investment, I like the word, and I think we're going to have a good exchange." Feligis smiled at the gold dust.
Then he continued: "Please come with me, the council has prepared a grand welcome banquet for you, and when the banquet is over, it will not be too late for us to cooperate and deliberate." ”
She interrupted the company's desire to start a discussion right away, and with a smile on her face, she ushered the company into a huge ballroom.
In the ballroom,
A large number of people with heads and faces in Teyvat looked at the people in the company.
Some raised their glasses in welcome, some whispered in whispers, some showed wary looks, and of course, many more did not show their expressions.
Dust gold kept smiling, taking everyone's expressions into their eyes.
"It seems that this so-called parliament is not so harmonious."
The gold grins became more pronounced, and it seemed that he was enjoying the banquet very much.
And the people he brought were also accustomed to the style of gold dust, and they ate and drank directly.
By the way, I talked casually with the people who came around,
What secrets in the universe, what sells well,
These employees seem to know everything.
But the gold sprinkler knows that he is bringing all the old employees, and everyone knows who is playing whom.
Ignoring the noise of his men,
Dust Gold followed Feligis to the banquet host,
There are several councillors sitting here, which is clearly different from the noisy banquet outside.
"I heard about the structure of your company from Daoyi, and I originally thought it would be the market development department."
Three years have passed, and the purple-haired girl has become more and more mature, and she looks at the gold dust with doubts in her eyes.
The smile on Ashwagen's face remained unchanged: "I think, you must be Ms. Keqing." ”
"You know me?" Keqing didn't think that her reputation could spread to the universe.
"The company's expedition team used to have a good holiday in Liyue, it seems to be called the Lantern Festival, and your presence accounted for a large part of their report, and you are a dedicated official, so I made a special note of your information before I came."
In fact, it was the convergence of Liyue's and Xianzhou civilizations that made Placer Gold pay attention to Liyue's officials, including Keqing.
However, everyone said good things like this, and Keqing's expression was also a little soothed: "You have won the award, but you haven't answered my question just now." ”
"Ha, I just knew this question not long ago, and the answer from the company's senior management is because you have already understood us, so you can skip the most basic communication and start a deeper investment, so I came."
In the face of the confession of gold dust,
The councillors looked at each other,
Finally, Qi Qi smiled, "Welcome, Mr. Dustgold, and I hope Teyvat won't let you down." ”
Without further asking anything, the councillors raised their glasses, and it was a pure drinking party.
And at the edge of the distant star field, ,
On the Interstellar Pioneer Mothership,
The Lord of the Red Sands, dressed in regular clothes, also received the news,
"Oh, the company guys are coming? Placer gold? Hmm, let me think about it, ah, the gold placer of the company's market development department, one of the ten people in Shixin. ”
"Tut-tut, it seems that the company really values me."
Each of the Ten Hearts of Stone has mastered a cornerstone dropped by the Amber King, and through the cornerstone, they can burst out with the equivalent of the power of the Commander.
In a sense, the company sent an envoy over.
Smiling, the Lord of the Red Sand ordered, "Inform the mothership and prepare to sail back." ”
[Command: Return home!] 】
In the secluded universe, the hatch of the huge interstellar pioneer mothership opens,
Countless small ships have returned to the mothership like swarms.
These small ships are all unmanned resource-gathering ships,
They are used to collect cosmic minerals in a cosmic vacuum, and of course, they also know a little about energy cannons in case of danger.
The 1000mm impact wave cannon is enough to smash an asteroid with a diameter of less than 300 meters at close range.
It's not a problem to deal with some cosmic dangers.
For example, a small reckless star beast can be done with one shot,
Even if it is a large star beast, it can be hunted.
Of course, what if you were to meet a super-monster like the Star-Eater Whale?
Then it is time to call the convoy to escort.
Outside the visual range of the mothership, the engines of several deep space-class warships moored in the natural airport roared,
Deep space-class warships, escort warships of interstellar development carriers, with a true planetary class lethality,
The main cannon can destroy all matter and energy in several units of the area with a single cannon.
Its lethality is second only to that of the capital battleship, the Abyss-type battleship.
The convoy began.
(The interstellar development mothership, with a large number of small resource gathering ships, is responsible for resource development in the star field.) )
(The deep space-class battleship is responsible for the expulsion and extermination of hostile targets within the star field, and is currently mainly serving on the interstellar development mothership for protection tasks.) )
