Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 325 Before the Great Merger

Aki Lake was originally a pristine lake and a holy place for tourism and vacation, but now it is responsible for the entire Aki Lake settlement. Now it has been changed into the daily water supply for hundreds of thousands of people in Aki Lake City.

It also irrigates the endless cultivated land nearby.

The establishment of the alliance here has also made Ajihu City the military, political, and economic center of the entire Lanxi Plateau, and also the settlement with the largest population in the entire Lanxi Plateau. Its role is extraordinary for the Lanxi Plateau.

significance.

Similarly, as the most important import and export city in the entire Lanxi Plateau, it is the largest trading center leading to the entire Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce, with a throughput of 60% of the entire Lanxi Plateau. This is what established it as the economic center of the Lanxi Plateau.

Reason. At the same time, it is also the most direct communication window between the two forces.

Every day, countless goods are transported to Aki Lake City by transport airships, and then transported to some small and medium-sized settlements by Aki Lake City using ground transportation vehicles.

Taking the Lanxi Plateau as the area, the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce has established a total of three cargo transit cities. The first one is Ajihu City in the Lanxi Plateau, followed by Xishi City and Yang'an City. The three cities are in the Lanxi Plateau.

On the map, it is distributed in a triangle, and then sent from three cities to other large and small settlements.

After more than two years of trade development, everything has already had a complete process and a unified distribution system, which can run continuously like an assembly line.

Transport airships like stars have long become an indispensable sight in the sky above Aki Lake City. With the increase in trade volume, the items traded are absolutely all-encompassing, from screws to large industrial equipment, all are traded at the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce.

As mentioned before, the influence of colorful umbrellas is everywhere on Lanxi Plateau...

Your shoes, socks, clothes, underwear, and underwear are all printed with the Colorful Umbrella trademark. The appliances in your home, the pots and bowls you use, even the toothbrush and toothpaste you use, all have the shadow of Colorful Umbrella. Even if

The food that is abundant on the Lanxi Plateau is also processed and packaged in colorful umbrellas. When you see the colorful umbrellas, you will naturally understand the meaning of protection and tranquility in the colorful umbrellas, and at the same time think of the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce.

, Indirectly, the president’s portrait on the colorful coins will float in front of your eyes.

A powerful commercial weapon, it penetrates into every detail and every rhythm of life, affecting people all the time. You live under the colorful umbrella.

The circulation of colorful coins has established its status as an official currency in a year. Even if the alliance intends to issue its own currency, it can only give up after investigation. The powerful business methods of the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce are the key to

The weapon that guarantees the status of currency, unknowingly, the economy of the entire Lanxi Plateau is completely controlled by the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce. If possible, the other party can restore the entire Lanxi Plateau to primitive society overnight...

Of course, this is an exaggeration, but countless shops are in the hands of the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce, including the large tracts of farmland they have obtained in exchange for goods and so on in the past two years. If he closes all the shops, the entire Lanxi Plateau will be destroyed.

Falling into chaos.

Especially for industries developed through trade, once the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce stops the transportation of fuel and stops the transmission of electricity to the crystallized power plant, it will definitely be a catastrophe for the weak industrial system of the Lanxi Plateau. Without fuel and electricity, what do you expect?

Will the factory equipment be able to operate?

It is simply impossible to store fuel. Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce has strict regulations on the transportation of fuel. It will only verify based on industrial needs. After delivery, there will be a dedicated person responsible for monitoring the use of this batch of fuel.

Or whether it is used in accordance with the verified information. If there are no errors, the next batch of fuel will not be transported until this batch of fuel is almost used up. If the information is found to be inconsistent, the delivery will be canceled immediately and permanently

Approval is no longer requested for this project.

The Crystal Power Plant is an important piece of equipment under the control of the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce. It has a self-explosion function, the most stringent confidentiality measures, and the most complete security system. Under the control of an intelligent system, the entire Crystal Power Plant is completely automated.

Processing, only when crystals are transported every month, crystal transport personnel will be allowed to replenish crystals in a specific area next to a large power plant.

The rest of the time, the entire crystal power plant does not allow any living or movable objects to approach. As long as it is captured by the intelligent system, the automatic security system in the crystal power plant will be activated, and any person or movable object that enters will be activated.

be destroyed.

The defense system is so powerful that it is impossible to break through the crystal power plant's defense system without using huge force. Even if you break through, it will be useless. The existence of the self-explosion system will cause the entire crystal power plant to be destroyed in the self-destruction.

It is impossible to reveal an iota of the crystalline power plant's technology.

These measures are all restricting the Lanxi Plateau and constraining the development of the Lanxi Plateau.

People with foresight have realized the influence of the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce on the Lanxi Plateau. It can be foreseen that as long as the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce is really serious, Lanxi Plateau will be like a woman who has been stripped naked, without any resistance, and can only give in.

Under the power of this strong man from the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce.

No matter how the people above decide this issue, it does not affect the ordinary people at the lower level of Lanxi Plateau at all. They are still busy for life, either getting money through work, or hunting for prey from the zombie groups on the border of Lanxi Plateau.

Crystals can be exchanged for colorful coins. Everyone has their own pursuit of life, which will not change due to external influences.

As a big city of import and export, half of the hundreds of thousands of people living in Aki Lake City have quit working on the farmland. Some of them have entered factories, and more of them rely on the stores of the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce to work.

Everything from transportation, airship port relocation, delivery...etc. forms a prosperous trading city.

Aki Lake, which has only begun to develop rapidly because of trade, looks like a city in a poor country. All you can see are clusters of low-rise houses. Some streets were not planned in a unified manner and the houses were built randomly, making it look twisted.

Crooked. But unfortunately, in Aji Lake, these crooked streets form the most prosperous commercial street. The crowded flow of people on them is a guarantee of high consumption.

Walking on this kind of street will always give people a sense of familiarity, it is basically like a night market during the day.

The cities in Somalia are somewhat similar to Aki Lake. There are no high-rise buildings, and the streets are naturally formed and are completely dirt roads... If there is any difference, I am afraid it is the population and commerce. With tens of thousands of people in Somalia, it is already a large city.

A city is a city, and for commerce, if you look at a large city with only a few scattered shops open, you will understand whether this is a commerce.

Compared to the bustling city of Qingyuan City, this place feels like being in an African city.

Zhou Yuanqiang arrived at Aji Lake on a transport airship. Except for a few people during this trip, no one knew that the boss of the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce had arrived here. With his changed appearance, it was naturally impossible for anyone to know his identity. Why?

The reason for not bringing a guard is just thinking about Zhou Yuanqiang's terror. The guard is a completely unnecessary burden to him.

In fact, Zhou Yuanqiang came alone this time. The first purpose was to have fun and vacation, and the second was to check whether the peach from Lanxi Plateau was ripe and ready for picking.

If force is used, Zhou Yuanqiang has reason to believe that with the huge military power of the Chamber of Commerce, the entire Lanxi Plateau can be completely conquered within a week. But the Chamber of Commerce has paid so much before and laid out a series of soft knives for the sake of peace.

To solve the problem on the Lanxi Plateau, using military force is not what the Chamber of Commerce wants.

If you want to peacefully resolve the Lanxi Plateau, it is not a matter of decision by the top leadership of the alliance. The existence of multiple settlements must also take into account the wishes of the people.

The Chamber of Commerce wants to take over the Lanxi Plateau because its huge population can be used to fill the factories needed by the Chamber of Commerce so that every plan can be implemented. If the united people of Lanxi Plateau oppose the rule of the Chamber of Commerce, this will not be possible.

The Chamber of Commerce implemented more plans in a short period of time and expanded larger war machines.

Coercion is not sweet, and coercion can achieve the goal, but the consequences are endless. If you are not careful, uprisings and riots will occur. You can understand the bloody lessons by looking at history.

Zhou Yuanqiang, who melted into the crowd, had an ordinary appearance and ordinary clothes. No one could imagine that it was this ordinary man who controlled the life and death of millions of people and decided whether a powerful war machine would be activated.

The streets here are lined with shops, and vendors are everywhere. The strategy of the Chamber of Commerce is still successful. At least more than 70% of the shops in Aki Lake are under the control of the Chamber of Commerce, and the supply of goods is directly controlled.

In the hands of the Chamber of Commerce, it can influence the economic direction of the entire Aki Lake.

I bought a few bunches of taro balls, which were fried in vegetable oil until they turned golden and exuded a strong fragrance. When I ate them in my mouth, my mouth was filled with the fragrance of taro and the fragrance of vegetable oil, which seemed to ooze out.

Come on. The snacks in the apocalypse are all vegetarian, and there are many kinds. As for the meat snacks, I am afraid that except for the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce, there is no way to eat them elsewhere.

I found a noodle shop on the side of the street and looked at the rows of long concrete benches, as if I had found the scene of squatting on them to eat noodles when I was a child.

It’s hard to imagine that this bowl of plain noodles with some vegetable oil and bean paste on it, and a small ball of green vegetables, only costs 37 cents. It’s large and cheap, so there are a lot of people eating here, and they are all sitting down.

Half-squatting on the cement bench, I was sweating profusely from eating.

With memories of his childhood, Zhou Yuanqiang also ordered a bowl. He squatted on it and ate it like he did when he was a child. Even though it looked like plain noodles, the taste was still more delicious than the ones with meat.

It was probably the ingredients of some secret recipe handed down from ancestors. Zhou Yuanqiang felt a little pity. After this disaster, how many craftsmanships have been extinct and disappeared in the river of history?

What Zhou Yuanqiang paid attention to was people's livelihood, so he naturally had to pay attention to the words and deeds of the ordinary people around him.

The freedom of speech on the Lanxi Plateau allowed the people who were eating vegetarian noodles to talk without any scruples, from people's livelihood to the military, to the life styles and abilities of some officials, and even some pornographic paragraphs.

You can also chat casually. But what we talk about more is the zombie dynamics on the edge of Lanxi Plateau and the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce’s product issues.

Seeing that there was no news that he needed, Zhou Yuanqiang was not in a hurry. He took a few bites and said casually: "We and the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce have been inseparable for a long time. Why can't we enjoy their benefits?

?”

The people chatting away just glanced at Zhou Yuanqiang, who was still eating, and did not think about anything else. After all, in life, many people always complained about the poor welfare of the alliance and envied the good welfare of Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce.

It's nothing new.

A thin, dark man, one could tell at a glance that he was a bachelor. Because of the lack of women, it was impossible for everyone to form a family. He wiped the grease on his mouth and said, "You actually don't understand, what does it mean to be indiscriminate?

The alliance is an alliance, and the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce is the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce, but they are not one body, so what obligation do they have to provide us with benefits?"

"I think it's better to join the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce." An old man in his late fifties, smoking tobacco and taking a sip of noodle soup from time to time, said: "Look, in the past two years, if it weren't for the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce,

, is it possible for all of us to live such a prosperous life? Without other people’s large farming machines, all of us would work so hard that we might not even have enough to eat. How could we have the plain noodles we have today?”

A young man next to him laughed and said, "Old man, if you fancy the Chamber of Commerce, you can enjoy the subsistence allowance benefits at the age of fifty-five."

The old man did not deny it. Instead, his face was shiny and he said: "Yes, I have gone through my whole life. At this age, I don't have the energy of you young people. I just want to be old and have something to support."

Be old and have something to rely on. What about you, aren't you just looking at others' benefits? According to me, the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce will annex Lanxi Plateau sooner or later, it's just a matter of time."

A middle-aged man with a somewhat Confucian style also sighed, pointed around, and said lightly: "The influence of the Chamber of Commerce has penetrated into each of us, no matter what we eat, use, or see, everything has been

Affected. In this case, in our hearts, we have already considered ourselves a member of the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce."

The young man from before said carelessly: "It's a pity that the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce refuses to allow us people from the Lanxi Plateau to enter their sphere of influence. Otherwise, I really want to see what the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce is like. I just heard that,

They are very powerful, but it’s really unclear how powerful they are.”

The middle-aged man carefully took out a small poster from his pocket and said: "I used to be a teacher, and my family has been a scholar for generations. My biggest dream is to go back to school and educate others. Take a look.

, this small poster was accidentally carried in the cargo when the airship came over, and I happened to find it."

Upon hearing this, several people stretched their heads.

This small poster is actually about recruiting teachers, hoping that capable people can take on important educational responsibilities. It doesn't matter to other people, but it is more attractive to people like middle-aged people who were teachers before.

This is why he keeps collecting small posters.

"Civilization is progressing, and our alliance has long been left far behind." The middle-aged man said: "Looking at the various measures taken by the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce, it is not difficult to understand its ambitions. In my opinion

Come on, this young president is definitely extremely talented. He is able to turn the tide in the last days and establish such a powerful force. Humanity may not be hopeless."

The old man knocked on his pipe and said: "I don't understand these things. I only know that according to the current situation of our alliance, we can only protect ourselves. If we want to regain the lost ground, there is no need to think about it." He drank all the noodles in one breath.

, put down the thirty cents, stood up unsteadily, and said happily: "It's gone, it's gone, it's all gone. It's not our turn to worry about this kind of thing. I'm just waiting for one day, old man, to enjoy the subsistence allowance."

It doesn’t matter how old I am, I’m still struggling for life. If this continues, my old bones will break sooner or later.”

Although this kind of topic is not prohibited, it is still a sensitive topic.

Especially now, the atmosphere of the entire alliance seems to have changed. It has become strange and depressing, as if a big event has happened. Although the words are innocent, who knows what the higher-ups are thinking? What if something bad happens then?

Once you've been punished, you don't know whether you will die or not, but you will definitely lose a layer of your skin.

It is precisely because of this that the group of people did not dare to talk much, ate the plain noodles in a hurry, put down their money, and left.

Zhou Yuanqiang just chuckled. After finishing the plain noodles, he paid for them and walked among the crowd. He recalled what they had just talked about. Thinking about it carefully, half of them had a welcoming attitude towards the Chamber of Commerce.

Among the remaining half of the people, most of them have the attitude of crowding in whoever brings them benefits, while the rest are a happy-go-lucky group.

Among the several categories, there are almost no people who oppose the rule of the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce.

As the middle-aged man said, the Chamber of Commerce has long penetrated into every aspect of people's lives. Many people have long regarded themselves as members of the Chamber of Commerce rather than members of the alliance. It is this influence that is changing people's

Thinking, let them subconsciously accept the Chamber of Commerce. When the time comes, as long as they are included in the benefits, what reason do they have to object?

Thinking that the people here care most about welfare, Zhou Yuanqiang couldn't help laughing and murmured: "Welfare? There are many chambers of commerce, but before that, we need to add a fire to them and let them know that the chamber of commerce

Welfare is not just these.”

He touched his chin and began to imagine, what would it be like if the people here knew about the welfare of the people under the rule of the Chamber of Commerce, crazy and unwilling, full of yearning?
