Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 328 “Gold Mine”

Through the window, there is an endless flat wasteland below. There is no sunlight, but the early morning light still reflects the luster of the sand and stones.

In the cloudless sky, very far away, several transport airships were traveling in different directions, but without exception, they all had the same direction. As if breaking through the dark dawn, Ye Qiancheng felt that he had entered

In a wonderful world, numerous airships of different types, armed helicopters patrolling away, and fighter planes flashing like lightning, together form this aerial world in the wilderness.

The constant flow of transport airships taking off and landing on Aki Lake is already amazing, and you can feel how busy Aki Lake is.

But now when he saw the scene outside the window, Ye Qiancheng realized that Lake Aji was nothing compared to the headquarters of the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce. The entire sky was made up of all kinds of airships. Except for the transport airship Ye Qiancheng

In addition to being familiar with it, like many airships, this was the first time he saw it, so it was impossible to know its functions.

There were at least one to two hundred airships of various types gathered in the sky, and they were so dark that they cast huge black shadows below.

Before approaching Qingyuan City, the Hercules transport airship was hovering in the sky. Ye Qiancheng and the others did not ask why, but looked out the window. From time to time, a small airship would appear. This small airship was only a dozen meters long.

, the pod is very simple and can be driven by only one person.

At first, Ye Qiancheng and the others didn't understand the purpose of this small airship, but they soon understood.

I saw only a small airship flying in front of a transport airship. It turned around and then sounded an alarm. Red and blue lights flashed on the airship and flew forward. And this transport airship was

Start at the same time and follow this small airship forward.

Towing airships are a new type of airship that was created when the number of airships increased to hundreds. As its name suggests, it is responsible for towing and eliminating airships waiting to enter the port to prevent too many airships from causing possible collisions.

.It is precisely by taking this measure that the embarrassment of the Qingyuan City airship field is avoided and the airship throughput is improved.

Nowadays, the largest area in Qingyuan City is the airship field. It is almost the size of the entire urban area of ​​Qingyuan City and can provide 160 airship berths at the same time. All trade is initiated here, so it is very busy here.

It is a landscape in Qingyuan City. In the sky, you can always see people working like ants, as well as cars.

In just ten minutes, even though they could see a small patch of sky from the window, it still surprised the entire negotiating team.

"The prosperity and busyness here cannot be compared even with ten Aki Lakes."

Ye Qiancheng sighed, Aji Lake, which he had always been proud of, was nothing compared to this place. From the direction where these airships appeared, it turned out to be in all directions. If he guessed correctly, the objects of the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce's trade,

It’s definitely not just the Lanxi Plateau, there are many unknown places in the Lanxi Plateau.

Reaching this conclusion made Ye Qiancheng a little frustrated. In the negotiation, whoever is stronger will naturally have more chips. Looking at the other party now, they may not necessarily rely on the market of Lanxi Plateau. What's more, the prosperity of Lanxi Plateau is also established

on top of each other's trade.

In the midst of endless thoughts, a tractor airship finally appeared in front of the Hercules transport airship. After a simple phone call, it began to pull this behemoth forward.

We are still twenty kilometers away from Qingyuan City. From the sky, we can still see Qingyuan City like a black line on the horizon. However, when we enter fifteen kilometers away from Qingyuan City, the first thing that comes into view is the endless space below.

On the cultivated land, machines are working on it, and there are patches of green crops.

Agriculture on the Lanxi Plateau is still in primitive cultivated land, with a small amount of mechanical assistance, so agricultural output is not very ideal.

Ye Qiancheng couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had seen a city. Aji Lake cannot be called a city because its tallest building is only the seven-story Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce Office Building.

Outside, they are all one- and two-story mud houses. When it rains, no one wants to travel on the muddy streets.

When tall buildings appeared in Qingyuan City, Ye Qiancheng even had the urge to cry.

When the Hercules transport airship arrived at the airship field, it descended slowly under the command of the towing airship. Its particularity is that a berth is specially designated for it in the airship field, which is exclusive to it, so that it can reach it in an emergency.

Can take off or land.

When the Hercules transport airship stopped, naturally a waiter came over and led Ye Qiancheng and the eleven people away.

Two passenger helicopters parked next to the Hercules transport airship. A neatly dressed officer led five people to stand in front of the Hercules transport airship's hatch. When they found Ye Qiancheng coming out of the Hercules transport airship, they saluted with a military salute.

He smiled and said: "Luo Chengjie, on the order of the Ministry of Commerce, came to greet us!"

Ye Qiancheng and the others clumsily returned the military salute and said, "Thank you, Ye Qiancheng, the leader of this group. Nice to meet you."

Luo Chengjie made a gesture of invitation and said: "This is not the place for conversation. Everyone, please board the plane. The Ministry of Commerce has prepared your accommodation."

Ye Qiancheng and the others nodded, and boarded two passenger helicopters respectively. Amidst the huge engine sound, they made a "buzzing" sound, and soon took off from the airship field, flying towards the urban area of ​​Qingyuan City.

go.

Looking at the busy scene below, the well-developed mechanized flow of goods and cargo, and the endless rows of airships. All of this is far from what the Lanxi Plateau can compare with, let alone the helicopter I am sitting on now, on the Lanxi Plateau.

, this is impossible. As a negotiator, Ye Qiancheng has certainly flown in a police helicopter, but he never thought that with his status, he would enjoy such treatment.

The sky above Qingyuan City is not empty. There are a large number of urban transport airships, which are responsible for the transportation of some important materials.

On the streets below, although it was early in the morning, the streets were still filled with traffic. From the helicopter, you could see bus stops one after another, with a large number of people waiting for the arriving buses. There were many pedestrians on the streets.

Shops were opening everywhere. When Ye Qiancheng saw this scene, he felt as if he had returned to the city before the apocalypse.

The place where Ye Qiancheng and the rest rested was a villa with a large number of rooms, which was just suitable for arranging them.

After getting off the helicopter, Luo Chengjie saluted another military salute and said, "You have come a long way, so take a rest here first."

"When will your president receive us?"

One of the members couldn't help but ask, he didn't want to be left waiting here for a week or two. The situation in the alliance was not optimistic, so they couldn't passively wait here. In other words

, you can afford to wait for the Lord, but your own alliance cannot afford to wait?

Hearing what the other party said, Luo Chengjie was stunned, his face tightened, but he smiled and said: "If you are here to meet the president, I suggest you buy a house outside and use it as an office. Maybe you can meet him.

Here we are." Is this president so easy to meet? Who do they think they are?

Ye Qiancheng heard the other party's dissatisfaction and said with a sorry smile: "Sorry, we were too impatient."

After Luo Chengjie left, Ye Qiancheng glared dissatisfied at the member who almost got into trouble and said: "Do you know what the president represents to them? If you don't know, take a good look at the colorful coins in your pocket.

The avatar above will tell you." After saying that, he hurried into the villa and ignored the stunned opponent.

Ye Qiancheng and the others were received on the third day.

Of course the person who met them could not be Zhou Yuanqiang, but the Minister of Commerce Bai Zuoyou, an old guy who knew nothing about anything. But everyone knew that the person who could hold the position of minister would be a simple character? At least Bai Zuoyou's

His experience tells everyone that he once made a fortune from nothing to hundreds of millions, and has eaten more salt than many people have eaten rice.

In the conference room of the Ministry of Commerce, Ye Qiancheng and his group of eleven people were sitting there, while only Bai Zuoyou and two assistants represented the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce.

"Okay, everyone, we understand your purpose."

Bai Zuoyou opened his dimmed eyes and leaned softly on the chair, as if this was not a negotiation, but an unimportant meeting, and he was just passing through. "I just want to know, what do you want us to say to you?"

Lanxi Plateau exports meat, what can you give to our Chamber of Commerce? You all know how precious this meat is, and no one can refuse its temptation. What's more, it seems that the situation on your Lanxi Plateau is not good."

Ye Qiancheng still wanted to show off his powerful tongue, but the other party's eyes seemed to be dim and dim, but they were full of shrewdness, as if he had an insight into everything. From the beginning of the negotiation, the negotiation became unfavorable to his side.

situation.

"The cooperation between the Alliance and the Chamber of Commerce has not lasted more than a day or two. Counting it up to today, it is exactly two years and six and a half months. During this period of time, the two parties can say that the cooperation has been very pleasant. Meat is precious, but after all it is also

A piece of merchandise. Based on the purpose of your association, isn’t it just right to use it to obtain greater profits? I believe that putting meat into the broad market of Lanxi Plateau will definitely create more value for the chamber of commerce. This kind of mutual benefit to both parties

Things, I don’t think it takes anything.”

Faced with Ye Qiancheng's words to turn the situation around, Bai Zuoyou just smiled coldly and said, "I wonder if Lanxi Plateau has such great value?"

Ye Qiancheng was stunned. He opened his mouth and then slowly closed it.

What is the value of the Lanxi Plateau? No one can really explain this clearly. The Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce needs the first thing for their trade, the first is crystals, the second is various raw materials, the third is colorful coins, and the rest

Other items or currencies that cannot be used for trading at all.

The crystals are completely obtained from zombies. In order to obtain the crystals, everyone on the Lanxi Plateau is very crazy. After obtaining a large number of crystals, the zombies are quickly eliminated, but the large number of casualties is also unbearable for the Lanxi Plateau.

As for all kinds of raw materials, the Lanxi Plateau used to be a clean place. The raw materials were not sufficient and they were rarely used for trading.

As for the colorful coins, it’s even more ridiculous. Aren’t these colorful coins issued by the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce? If you want the colorful coins, you have to use crystals to exchange them, which will lead back to the first crystallization problem.

In the final analysis, what Lanxi Plateau can really get is crystals. But the number of crystals is not just for you to get, you have to use your life to get it. And the number of crystals has long fallen to the limit in more than two years of harvesting.

In the hands of the other party, the daily output is averaged into the hands of everyone, not even a pitiful one.

There is no crystallization and no raw materials, which means that it is impossible for Lanxi Plateau to afford meat, and there is no condition to enjoy it.

I have never thought about this problem before. I always thought that the other party would trade with them and buy them with colorful coins. But now that I think about it, it is so ridiculous. It is even bluntly said that the output of colorful coins in the entire Lanxi Plateau is already made of crystallized coins.

Redeem and transfer to store employees.

The one with the most employees is the store controlled by the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce.

Ye Qiancheng suddenly realized that there was no need to continue the negotiation. It was impossible for Lanxi Plateau to come up with anything decent.

"We really don't have such great value!"

Like a defeated rooster, Ye Qiancheng said in a low voice. He knew that this attitude was fatal to the negotiation work. But so what, the seemingly powerful alliance was in the eyes of the other party.

, just a piece of dough that can be kneaded. There is a huge gap in strength, unless the alliance can launch a war to get what it needs.

Thinking of the war, Ye Qiancheng couldn't help but shudder.

The Alliance has 500,000 soldiers, which is good, but the Alliance is too far away from here. There are thousands of mountains in between, and there are a lot of zombies. How can it be possible to expedition here? Don't forget, the Alliance does not have air transportation capabilities.

Thinking about it from another perspective, with the powerful strength of the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce and the huge airship, would it be difficult for them to arm a military force? Just like during World War I and World War II, the United States’ military power was not the strongest.

Strong, but the military potential is the strongest. They can even build a well-equipped army overnight because they are supported by strong industrial power.

Whether it is economic or military power, there is no comparison between Lanxi Plateau and the other party.

Obviously, the eleven people in the negotiation team all thought about the gap between the two parties, and they all pulled their heads. There is no doubt that this must be a failed negotiation.

Their expressions all fell into Bai Zuoyou's eyes. He smiled and said: "Don't be frustrated. In negotiations, you always ask for a high price and pay it back when you get it. Since we agree to your negotiation, we will naturally give you a price based on your situation."

Come up with a condition that you can bear."

Ye Qiancheng was shocked and said: "So, what are your conditions?"

Bai Zuoyou took a sip of the tea in the cup and said: "Actually, in our eyes, the Lanxi Plateau is like a gold mine that has not been mined, with countless gold waiting to be seen again. But now, your alliance is like

A layer of mud that covers up the light of gold. Although it blocks the light of gold, it does not stop people's greed."

These metaphorical words made Ye Qiancheng unable to understand for a while that what the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce was most interested in was the point on the Lanxi Plateau and what they hoped to gain.

Seeing that they still didn't understand, Bai Zuoyou laughed and said: "Let's put it this way, our chamber of commerce has many import and export settlements. It requires a large amount of goods to satisfy the market, and a large amount of goods requires a large amount of goods.

Manufacturing in factories requires a lot of work. The characteristic of the end of the world is that the population is sparse, and it is impossible to support an industrial machine as large as the Chamber of Commerce, causing the development of the Chamber of Commerce to stagnate..."

When they talked about this, Ye Qiancheng and the others finally understood that the gold the other party was referring to was actually the population of the alliance.

"You are saying that your condition is population?"

Ye Qiancheng couldn't believe it. Under the seemingly gentle atmosphere, what was revealed was a huge mouth that was devouring blood. What the population represents is the basis for the survival of every apocalyptic force. The greater the population, the greater the power of this force.

The stronger the strength. The more than three million people in the Lanxi Plateau have always been the pride of the alliance and considered to be the foundation for the alliance's survival. But now this Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce actually wants to exchange the right to export meat in exchange for population?

"Are you being wildly fanciful? This is simply impossible..."

Without Ye Qiancheng saying a word, a member of the negotiation team had already stood up, slapped the table and roared: "You are simply ambitious and want to invade the Lanxi Plateau. Let me tell you, the 500,000 soldiers in our alliance are

I will never agree to it, so give up on this idea as soon as possible."

Bai Zuoyou seemed to have just mentioned something trivial. He said: "In our opinion, the population of your Lanxi Plateau is still in the midst of primitive labor. It is a huge waste and has not given full play to our human potential."

Potential. Your actions will only lead to the destruction of mankind. How can we eliminate the zombies and recover the land under the sky?"

Ye Qiancheng became calmer. Things were completely unexpected now. He said, "This seems to be an internal matter within our Lanxi Plateau Alliance, right?"

Bai Zuoyou stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone, you don't need to be nervous. I think you should visit our chamber of commerce. Then we will discuss the feasibility of this matter. At that time, I think your attitude should be

Things will change.”

He turned to his assistant and said: "Send someone to take our distinguished guests to the wilderness military base. I think maybe they will change their views."

The assistant agreed, opened the door and left. Bai Zuoyou also smiled and walked out of the conference room without saying anything, leaving only Ye Qiancheng and others who looked confused and didn't know what the other party was playing.
