This Game is Too Real

Night fell.

Since the boss had not returned from discussing business, the caravan camped in the open space outside the south gate of the outpost.

The greedy worms were caught by the smell of the north gate of the outpost, and two caravan guards slipped out of the camp while they were eating, wanting to exchange their chips for something to eat.

However, what the two of them did not expect was that when they swaggered out their chips and slapped them on the table, it was not the flattery and flattery of these hillbillies.

instead……

dislike?

The two were stunned for a moment.

Isn't it a mistake?

"Mommy, why is this kind of plastic sheet again?"

With his back to the customer, Zhang Hai grinned, raised his fist soaked in flour and knocked on the price board next to him, speaking in a non-standard joint language.

"Bargaining chips, ten."

Ten chips? !

The eyes of the two caravan guards went round, and they suspected that they had heard it wrong.

Their wages a day are only ten chips!

And this is still time for attendance.

A meal in Boulder City can eat well with 5 chips, and the chips in the surrounding survivor settlements will be more valuable, usually 3 chips can be very full.

Ten chips for a bowl of noodles are really unheard of!

"Ten chips?! Did you make a mistake?"

"Damn, are you too dark?"

"See if we are deliberately looking for fault from outside?"

However, Zhang Hai, who was standing in front of the booth, was indifferent to the two complaints and protests, and his expression did not change at all.

What all players know is that the white plastic pieces can be exchanged for silver coins. Two pieces can be exchanged for one. Isn’t it unreasonable for the five-silver-coin ramen to sell ten chips?

This is very reasonable!

I have confiscated their handling fees, which is generous enough, okay?

Of course, it was mainly because Zhang Hai didn't understand what the two of them were talking about.

Otherwise he would definitely scold him back.

Laughed.

Who is he afraid of with a stinky mouth?

The players nearby are watching the excitement and discussing curiously.

"What are these two NPCs talking about?"

"It is estimated that Boss Zhang's ramen is too dark."

"Hahaha, deserve it! Good scolding! I wanted to scold you a long time ago!"

"Wait, let me remember what they swear."

"What do you remember about that stuff?"

"Call it during the war, otherwise you will be silly, and you won't understand you when you call it, and you feel that you are uneducated. It's better to learn the dialects of the NPCs and shout with momentum!"

"Fuck! Brother, you can teach me if you learn it!"

In other people's territory, the two guards did not dare to cause trouble.

Not to mention so many eyes watching.

The two cursed a few words, and then went to other stalls.

However, what made them crash is that the situation in other stalls is the same, the prices are ridiculously expensive, until they finally find a person who can communicate, they ask why.

"If you use a bargaining chip, it will be twice the price." Qiu Cao took out a silver coin and shook it in front of the two of them. "Those blue coats all trade with this coin."

Qiuye, who was squatting next to her sister, also nodded vigorously.

"Yes! This is their currency!"

The two caravan guards glanced at each other with a dazed expression.

What coin is this?

They've been to so many places, it's the first time they see you.

"I'll give you two chips, can you sell this silver coin to me?" The caravan guard with a beard tentatively asked.

Qiucao shook his head, and tactfully refused.

"It's useless if we want this."

Qiuye nodded vigorously.

"That's right! You'd better find Xiaoyu to change it!"

Two caravan guards: "..."

There are still places where the chips are not in circulation in Qingquan City?

What a surprise!

And who is Xiaoyu?

Not far from the side, Zhang Hai, who was underneath, raised his head and took a look. He just saw the two NPCs walking towards the outside of the market, and couldn't help but laughed.

"Which country do these NPCs come from? Why are they so poor."

A bowl of ramen can't be eaten.

Even if I didn't buy it, I was beeping at him for a long time.

So he thought there was a hidden mission.

Holding a bowl and sipping the noodle soup, the escaped Canyon Mole glanced at him and said.

"You didn't catch up with the good time. Before the'Land Xingzhou' expansion, when the business people first came here, the kind of paper they gave could be exchanged for 100 silver coins."

Zhang Hai smacked his tongue.

"100 silver coins? It doesn't feel much."

The wizard Wang Fugui rolled his eyes.

"It's less Versailles. We are talking about silver coins from a few versions ago. Can it be compared? At that time, the liver only had 10 silver coins a day!"

Construction site boy and brick: "Hey, I miss the time when I had a bowl of mushroom soup for 5 copper coins."

The canyon is at large. Mole squinted at him: "Come on, it hurts for a long time for a shot at that time. Are you sure you want to go back to the old version?"

The construction site boy and the brick scratched their heads.

"Uh, forget it."

If you think about it this way, the new version is still fun.

It's so cool to rush forward with a light machine gun.

On the other side, the two caravan escorts who slipped out and left the market went straight back to the camp.

Originally, the two of them planned to sneak in without people paying attention, but it happened that their captain was standing at the gate of the camp.

The expressions of the two of them were instantly embarrassed, but Naihe had already met their sights.

Staring at the two of them with that penetrating electronic eye, Han Long said blankly.

"What did you two do?"

The young guard froze for a long time and couldn't speak, but the older guard responded quickly and said quickly.

"Report to the captain, we are going to find out the information!"

Han Long looked at the two.

"What information?"

"Prices! We are understanding the local prices!" The slightly older guard continued speaking quickly, "The consumption level here is ridiculously high. They actually need ten chips for a bowl of noodles!"

Another guard reacted and quickly answered.

"Yes, and they don't use chips here. They trade with something called silver coins. It takes two chips to exchange for a silver coin. It's too expensive!"

Two chips for a silver coin?

Han Long frowned slightly.

This is interesting information, and I can tell the boss later.

but……

One yard owned by a yard.

Staring at them blankly, Han Long said slowly.

"According to the rules of the caravan, leave the camp without permission at night and be fined one week's salary. For the second time, all the salary is forfeited and the caravan is expelled."

"If I find you violated discipline next time, you should know what it means."

Being stared at by that electronic eye, the two of them shuddered involuntarily, then lowered their heads and said nervously.

"Yes……"

"We don't dare anymore."

In Boulder City, it is not easy to find a decent job. The average caravan will not recruit a few people of unknown origin into the team, let alone risk being put together by a competitor to solicit those who are The guy expelled from the team.

They are expelled from the caravan and have no skills, usually there are only two ways to go.

Either go to the factory and get a screw, with a barely subsistence salary, until one day you can't do it and die in an alley that no one cares about.

Either become a mercenary, do whatever the employer asks you to do, and use your life to change your bargaining chips.

This threat is still very heavy!

The two walked into the camp dejectedly.

Han Long did not look at the two of them, but continued to look in the direction of the South Gate.

It's been more than two hours.

The boss has not returned yet.

His brows frowned slightly, and when he was wondering whether to find someone to inquire about the boss, his electronic eyes suddenly moved slightly and locked to the north.

Soon, a familiar figure came into his eyes.

Seeing the boss coming back from the north, Han Long finally breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him.

"Boss, you are finally back, and I plan to let people find you."

"Don't be so nervous, I have a good relationship with the people here."

With a flamboyant expression on his face, Liszt looked at his right-hand man and continued, "Call me Qianduo and Qian Lai. I am waiting for them in the tent. I want to explain important things to them."

Although he was curious about what it was, the boss didn't take the initiative to say it, and Han Long didn't ask much, and nodded cleanly.

"Yes."

...

Liszt, who returned to the tent, did not wait long.

Soon, the curtain of the tent was opened, and two people, one tall and one short, walked in.

"Boss, are you looking for us?"

The taller one is called Qianduo and the shorter one is Qianlai. Both of them are Liszt's apprentices. They have followed him since he was eleven or twelve years old. They have been seven or eight years now.

Liszt has been cultivating the two as successors. Originally, he planned to wait until the tenth year and gradually hand over the business of the caravan to the two. He went to the inner city of Boulder and lived in the upper class of his dream. life.

But looking at it now, it seems that this day can be advanced.

"I just bought a shipment from the blue jacket, a total of 200 rifles and 50,000 rounds of ammunition. In exchange, I plan to leave the twenty sets of KV-1 exoskeletons in the inventory to them."

10 rifles for a set of exoskeleton?

When the two heard this, their faces suddenly showed surprise.

Qian Duo cautiously reminded.

"But... Boss, didn't you plan to send this shipment to Red River Town to trade with the slave merchants there?"

The situation in the River Valley Province has been turbulent recently. The slave traders in Honghe Town have bought a lot of goods, and the mines can’t digest that much, and the price of slaves has been kept low.

The slave owners in Honghe Town need exoskeleton to improve the efficiency of mining, and they also need exoskeleton to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

According to the information collected in the tavern, a KV-1 exoskeleton with a solid-state hydrogen power supply is said to be able to replace 4 to 5 strong slaves.

In Boulder City, the KV-1 exoskeleton is not a rare thing. Although Liszt usually sells 800 to 1,000 chips outside, the actual cost of the purchase is only about 400 to 500 points, and the actual production cost is only 300. Early.

Among them, the cost of the battery accounts for half, and the 12 motors distributed on the exoskeleton account for the other half. As for those connecting parts like bamboo poles, they are gifts.

After most people buy the KV-1 exoskeleton back, they need to modify it before they can use it.

As for an assault rifle, the normal price is around 150 to 200, and the actual cost may be one-third or even one-fourth.

A set of exoskeleton is exchanged for 10 rifles, and it is also a rifle used by survivors outside.

The key is to get to their next stop, can these rifles be sold?

However, compared to the worry of the two apprentices, the expression on Liszt's face was full of confidence.

"No problem, Honghe Town is preparing for a war with the Snake Clan of the Bone Chewing Tribe. They need not only exoskeletons, but also a lot of weapons. Rifles and bullets can be sold at very good prices there, and the most important thing is , If we can open up the market, this trade road will become a gold mine!"

"The second thing those blue coats promised me, as long as we can sell their weapons to Honghe Town, and then bring in the phosphate rock, sulfur ore, rare metals and aluminum materials they need, they can give us Outgoing more goods...this is at least double the profit."

"The reason why I am looking for you is for this matter," Liszt paused for a moment and looked at the two standing in front of him. It’s all in your eyes. Now, it’s time to apply what you have learned! According to what I said, you take the caravan to Honghe Town, and then use our goods to buy back that batch of supplies according to the list I gave you."

There were surprised expressions on the faces of the two of them.

Although they thought that one day the boss would hand over the caravan to them, they didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

Qian Lai asked hurriedly.

"What about you, boss?"

Liszt said with a slight smile.

"Me? I naturally have more important things to deal with! I plan to open a factory here to produce solid-state hydrogen batteries and the motors needed to assemble the exoskeleton."

The two people standing in the tent looked at each other blankly.

Open a factory?

it's here?

And it is the motor that produces solid-state hydrogen batteries and exoskeleton?

this……

It also sounds a little bit weird.

Although there are some big people who will open some simple industries outside of Boulder City, the tax and land rent that are usually saved are eventually lost in another form.

There is no order in places outside of Boulder City. Not only do you need to hire a large number of guards, you also have to spend a lot of money to persuade Boulder City’s engineers and workers to leave the huge wall full of security.

The goods produced must also be very careful. No insurance company will provide them with insurance policies. Not only do you have to beware of predators against the autumn wind, you have to beware of malicious destruction by competitors, and the dirty hands and feet of the wastelanders who work.

Without orderly soil, even seeds cannot germinate, let alone open factories.

However……

Their boss is confident at the moment.

I don't know what ecstasy soup was poured.

"There is a lot of money, you follow what I just said, and follow Han Long to Honghe Town and negotiate the sale. A small part of the profit can be sold appropriately, but our customers must be convinced that this is a long-term deal. Business! We will continue to provide them with weapons, and this business will continue."

"Qian Lai, you go back to Boulder City, and purchase relevant production equipment according to the list I gave you. Whether it is eliminated or the bottom of the box, you can buy it. Also, remember to search for me. You should know where to find the engineers who operate those equipment."

Although there were some doubts in their hearts, Qian Duo and Qian Lai nodded and said.

"Good boss."

After explaining the matter clearly, Liszt let the two of them go down, sitting down on the sleeping bag, and digging out the electric teapot from the package on the side, and making himself a cup of hot cocoa.

This is a habit he has cultivated for many years of traveling.

Drinking something sweet and hot can help you fall asleep faster.

Holding the cup in his hand to warm it up, looking at the rising white mist, Liszt's face suddenly appeared with a smug smile unconsciously.

"My special mother is really a genius!"

This time.

Really going to make a fortune!

...

When discussing cooperation earlier, the manager named Chu Guang gave him two sets of plans.

The first plan is to invest in setting up factories.

Refuge No. 404 provides labor and can also provide him with a loan of 100,000 silver coins. He only needs to drag the production equipment over and start work immediately.

20% of the goods produced go to the refuge, and the remaining 80% can be sold anywhere.

Whether it is exported to Boulder City or sold to a local workshop in an industrial zone.

When he first heard about this plan, Liszt was a little confused, so he asked at the time.

"If silver coins cannot be directly exchanged for chips with you, then what is the point of how much silver coins I earn?"

Regarding his doubts, the manager patiently explained to him.

"Although silver coins cannot be directly exchanged for chips, you can use them to buy what you want, and then take them back to Boulder and replace them with plastic pieces you like... I mean those colorful chips."

"Although instead of doing this, I recommend that you take a long-term view and use silver coins to build houses, open hotels, open taverns, or expand production."

"At the latest next month, I have a large number of caravans passing by. I forgot to tell you that because we extended a helping hand to the pioneers of the enterprise in the war, we are now the permanent strategic partner of the enterprise. You are a trader, you should Know what this means. As long as the caravans from the East Coast are more inclined to come to our place to stop. Imagine the good things they carry. Do you still think silver coins are useless?"

"Even if agriculture and industry are completely aside, this place will prosper quickly because of trade. Trust me, the silver coins in your pocket will never treat you badly. You will use them to make more money."

It seemed that he didn't feel that the effort was enough. After the manager had finished speaking, he drew a pie for him.

"Next year, we will plant at least 3000 acres of Kamu trees, which will be 30 times the supply of Brown Farms!"

"We will export half of the raw materials and supply half of the raw materials to the local market. The industrial raw materials such as rubber and alkanes will be very cheap here. Whether you sell it to Boulder or directly process them into commodities here, It will definitely make you a fortune."

After hearing these words, Liszt immediately settled an account in his heart.

3000 acres of cam trees.

If so many can be grown, the rubber and biomass oil produced here can supply at least 13% of Boulder’s consumption.

This is already a terrifying ratio.

Compared with the planting area here, his plantation in the south and a few small survivors' gathering places nearby, it is like a small mess.

He immediately agreed to the first set of proposals put forward by the manager.

Because he can hardly see the shortcomings of this scheme.

Especially when he learned from Chu Guang that the army of these blue coats not only defeated the legion’s thousand-man squad, but also defeated the two bone-crushing tribes sent to the northern suburbs of Qingquan at a very small price. After the Thousands of people team, this confidence is even stronger!

The corpse of the black snake fell on the gallows at the north gate, and it was easy to verify the authenticity of this sentence.

For an emerging survivor stronghold, such strength is already very strong!

Even the militia of Boulder City would have to spend some time and cost to deal with so many predators.

It can ensure the safety of the industrial zone and provide labor and raw materials.

Coupled with the previous transactions, the manager's credit can be considered reliable.

Liszt felt that he could give it a try.

What needs him to do is not difficult. You only need to buy some equipment with a bargaining chip, then hire some unemployed engineers to operate the equipment, and guide those refugees who are said to have received a little education in production.

This may cost 100,000 or even 200,000 chips. Advanced equipment may be more expensive, perhaps 1 million.

Although the money is not a small sum for him, his credit is good, and there are two sets of real estate in the inner city of Boulder that can be mortgaged, and it is not difficult to get a loan from the bank.

He chose the most reliable product.

Motors for solid-state hydrogen batteries and exoskeleton.

Even if these two things cannot be digested by the local market~www.wuxiamtl.com~, they can be dragged to Boulder City and sold, or assembled into simple exoskeleton, sold to places like Honghe Town, and replaced with slaves or raw materials. return.

No matter how you look at it, this business is profitable.

And a stable batch!

The second set of programs is the same.

However, this plan focuses on cooperation in sales, requiring him to spend a little effort to sell the products produced here to further places.

Is this a problem for a trader?

He used to rely on this to eat!

How to choose?

Liszt made a decision in almost half a minute.

Since the two programs are both a win-win situation.

Then why not have it all?
