People who can do business in the Star Tower each have their own abilities.

The old friend turned his head and made an accurate guess. He said with a smile: "As expected of you as an agent, your property must be very big."

"Stop talking nonsense." Bai Yue interrupted his old friend's words rudely, and then said with a charming smile: "Your Excellency, agent, to be honest, we are all middlemen, but after living in the Star Tower for a long time, senior It’s hard to say about food, low-grade food can really help.”

Cheng Jinzhou nodded imperceptibly. If he purchased it directly from the Star Tower, the price would be the same as on the independent trading platform. One of the benefits of Star Tower is communication and price fluctuations.

Bai Yue moved her body gently, blocking her old friend behind her, and said with a smile on her lips: "Your Excellency, how much food do you need? How about we help you raise it?"

"Well……"

"Don't worry, as long as the goods we can get, the quantity and price will be better than those of the gentlemen on the upper floors of the Star Tower." Bai Yue was very worried that Cheng Jinzhou would go up there to look for bulk items to trade.

Her guarantee was not convincing, but Cheng Jinzhou had been up there and had never met anyone, so he pondered for a moment and said, "Give me 10,000 tons of grain first. The price should be the lowest."

Asking a price under these circumstances will not lower your status.

10,000 tons equals 200,000 shi, which is basically the military rations needed by the garrison of a province in Daxia for a year, no more, no less.

"No problem." Bai Yue's eyes narrowed as she smiled.

Old friends were circling around in a hurry behind them. There were some unspoken rules among the people they mingled with at the bottom of the Star Tower. Although he wanted to get big business, he didn't dare to disturb other people.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows and glanced at his old friend, smiled and said a few words to Bai Yue, then walked up.

A transaction of this level does not require competition between two suppliers.

As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, his old friend was forced to stop.

Bai Yue shouted: "Sir, agent, how can I contact you?"

"I will come again tomorrow." Cheng Jinzhou hesitated for a moment, then continued: "You can call me Mr. Cheng."

"Okay." Knowing his last name, Bai Yue suddenly became excited, and her charming eyes dropped like a shot put.

The fog above the Star Tower became lighter as Xiao Cheng ascended higher.

In the curling smoke, one layer, two layers, and three layers passed by in an instant.

Star Alliance level 7 is a pretty good level, allowing Cheng Jinzhou to see quite a lot of books and products.

He touched his shoulder out of habit, but found nothing.

When in doubt, I’m really not used to not having a koala.

"Open the trading system." Cheng Jinzhou gave the voice command as soon as he landed.

If Bai Yue and others below can quickly raise food and grass, and if they can sell smoothly in Daxia, a credit currency system can be easily established.

The total amount of money in this era is just that much, and the requirements for being extremely wealthy are much lower than in later generations.

If high-grade food is grown again, it will not be difficult at all to reach Star Alliance level 8.

A comfortable blue light emitted in front of him, and a series of numbers unfolded in front of his eyes. It looked a bit like the computer screen that Cheng Jinzhou was familiar with, and a feeling of nostalgia suddenly arose.

"Your Excellency, how are you?"

The stiff greeting woke Cheng Jinzhou up instantly.

"Is there anyone?" he immediately changed his color and shouted.

"Of course there is someone here." The other party was a little unhappy, obviously because the greeting did not receive a response.

"Oh... uh..." Cheng Jinzhou hurriedly closed the screen in front of him.

There are naturally people on the upper level of the Star Tower. Although the number is small, if there are more people, there will always be encounters.

In front of him was a Caucasian with light wheat-colored skin. His broad forehead made his stature appear longer. His brown hair is very dense and thick. If gentlemen who have never seen a foreigner see him, they will definitely yell "savage" to judge him.

"I am Chao Dongwu, have I never seen you before?" The white man spoke again.

"Foreigners are also called by Chinese names?" Cheng Jinzhou's voice was small, almost talking to himself, but the surprise on his face was clearly visible.

"What?"

"It's nothing." Cheng Jinzhou laughed twice, then stretched out his hand and said with a friendly smile: "Hello."

We can know from previous experience that as long as you express goodwill confidently, even if you use habits unique to your own nation, you will still be recognized by the other party. It can even strengthen goodwill itself. That’s why the French’s cheek-to-cheek greeting, the Russian’s hug, the British’s hand-kissing salute, the Chinese-style fist-holding ceremony, and the Japanese-style bowing leave such a deep impression on people.

Chao Dongwu really liked Cheng Jinzhou's confidence. After a moment's hesitation, he held Cheng Jinzhou's big, thick hand.

Classmate Xiao Cheng shook his hand slowly and said with a smile: "I am Cheng Jinzhou, have you been here for a long time?"

"Here? It's been a few years." Chao Dongwu sighed and said, "I'm from Dongsheng, not a local. I moved here a few years ago..."

"I didn't expect this place to be so desolate?" From the rare information, Cheng Jinzhou could infer one or two things.

"Yes. In Dongsheng, no matter how small the star tower was, it was at least one Star Alliance level, that is, one level. It is not like here, with five Star Alliance levels one level." His tone was quite dissatisfied.

Cheng Jinzhou couldn't fully understand his emotions and shrugged.

It is very difficult for people from the Star Alliance to improve their level. Although they work hard and can always improve a few levels in their lifetime, just because they move, they have to mix with lower-level Star Alliance members again, which seems to be a disguised form of punish.

After a few seconds of silence, Chao Dongwu asked: "Are you a local?"

"That's right..."

"It's not easy." Chao Dongwu said looking at the badge on his chest.

The Star Alliance Level 7 badge was shining brightly, but Cheng Jinzhou did not shield it from the upper levels. He looked back at the white man and saw that he was indeed at level seven of the Star Alliance.

The same level makes it easy for the two to communicate.

Chao Dongwu seemed to rarely meet people, especially members of the Star Alliance with the same level, and he was a bit chatty for a while.

Cheng Jinzhou wanted to hear more information about the Star Alliance and become a good listener.

It took the two people a long time to talk, and the trading programs in their hands stopped.

After a long time, Dong Sheng mentioned Chao Dongwu from the Star Alliance, and then he wiped his mouth happily and said with a smile: "I was planning to go in and out quickly today, but I didn't expect to meet you. Under normal circumstances, when do you come? Star Tower?”

He obviously wanted to make an appointment with Cheng Jinzhou.

Star Tower is a semi-virtual world. Cheng Jinzhou did not hesitate much and said with a smile: "About three days."

"Then let's set it at this time in three days. How about we meet again?"

"no problem."

"Next time, maybe we can do some business together." Chao Dongwu patted his chest. He mainly supplied primary processed products, such as building materials and factory production raw materials. It sounds simple, but the technological level is actually more than For thousands of years in Daxia, the two of them had almost no trading opportunities.

The Star Alliance had a lot of transactions, so Cheng Jinzhou waved goodbye to them and quickly opened the trading platform.

The flashing blue light can display hundreds of messages, densely packed like recruitment information in the job market, or tongue coating under a microscope.

"I don't want high technology, I don't want services, I don't want luxury goods, I don't want travel..." Cheng Jinzhou eliminated people in order from left to right, and a series of familiar symbols suddenly flashed in the corner of his eyes.

"Elder Trading Company!" His hand immediately touched the tattoo on his waist.

This is the trading company that gave him the United Star Formation. A business firm that helped him a lot and also charged him a lot of money.

What are they selling? Cheng Jinzhou clicked on it curiously, but he never thought that it was actually a purchase offer - in the next two years, he would purchase tellurium pearl rice at a price of 350,000 star yuan per ton, and could provide production processes and materials.

In other Star Alliance lands, the yield of pearl rice is indeed lower than that of low-grade grain, but there is not a 10-fold difference. From this, we can know that there must be something special about the so-called tellurium pearl rice.

Cheng Jinzhou tried his best to recall the element "tellurium". It is a non-metallic oxygen group element, in the fifth row of the periodic table. In terms of applications, it has almost nothing special - except for being used as a protective agent and resistor in batteries, it is more commonly used for Colored glass and ceramics, in other words, by-products from the refining of copper and lead, were mixed with mud and burned into cave dwellings before they were even refined.

The existing knowledge could not solve his doubts. Cheng Jinzhou did not simply ask the elder Dashang. Instead, he quickly closed the star tower and ran out. He found the koala doing push-ups in the corner of the yard.

"What's the use of tellurium rice?" He grabbed Yisu's tail and lifted it up and asked.

"Can the land in Daxia grow tellurium and pearl rice?" Yisu also used a question.

"No? I thought I could grow it if I had the raw materials."

"Pearl rice is grown, it is not a chemical reagent." The koala being carried upside down did not lose its majesty, and still said in an educational tone: "There are many ways to test the suitability of land. Some land It is more profitable to grow low-grade food, while only a handful are suitable for growing high-grade food, and the land has different tolerances to different elements..."

Cheng Jinzhou interrupted Yi Su's eloquent speech and said, "How to measure it."

"There are special reagents for testing." Yissu sighed, put his head in his hands, and turned over to his arms in a standard single-cylinder movement.

Cheng Jinzhou hurriedly opened the independent trading platform and kept asking: "You haven't told me yet, what is the use of tellurium pearl rice?"

"In the way you understand it, it's a standard military ration."

"Standard military rations?"

"Tellium is an element of the oxygen family. I think you can understand this with your poor knowledge. In this case, for those of us who need to breathe, after being purified by Zhumi, it has the ability to carry excess oxygen. Ability. In some areas with harsh environments, such as when the oxygen content is less than 10%, eating tellurium pearl rice can effectively enhance the adsorption capacity of oxygen, thus reducing the demand for technical equipment."

Cheng Jinzhou frowned and said, "That means tellurium can solve the soldiers' hypoxia symptoms?"

"That's right."

"It should have been popularized on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau before." He made a joke without a bear smile, and added: "I saw the elder merchant launched a two-year acquisition offer. 350,000 per ton."

"No wonder you are so interested. That is 10 times the income from growing real rice."

The acquisition offer is an automatically confirmed acquisition agreement. The seller does not need to negotiate with the buyer. As long as the transaction conditions are reached, the matching transaction will naturally be successful, and the requirements for the buyer are very high. A two-year tender offer means that within two years, the price will only increase, not decrease.

"If my land can be planted with this stuff, it will be planted all over the hillside." Cheng Jinzhou said, holding a box of reagents in his hand.
