Psychics don't die from gunfire

"Your Excellency, do you know what the essence of trade is?"

While Song Shi was reading the message, Shi Qianfeng pinched a spot of light, then gently released his hand, letting it wander elsewhere.

Before the other party could speak, the man calmly said the answer: "It's 'information'. Information is the essence of trade."

"Since the beginning of ancient times, when the first barter was exchanged, the nature of trade has been determined." His voice was so clear: "Fruits and animal meat are both food, and they come from tribal traditions. Exchange ratio, ten pieces of fruit for a small piece of meat.”

"The risk of picking fruits is smaller than hunting animals, and meat is more filling than fruits, so several times the fruits can be exchanged for meat. This is a balance between risks and benefits."

Shi Qianfeng snapped his fingers, and countless light points swarmed in, forming an image of a shrub full of fruits: "But what if a tribe member accidentally found a shrub full of fruits?"

"Obviously, he chose to hide it, and his life changed completely - the risk he took in picking the fruit was smaller than that of other people, and the labor he spent on it was lower than that of other people."

"However, he can have more fruits than others, and even use the extra fruits to exchange for meat as a reserve for the winter."

"During all the processes, did he pay anything worthy of the price?" Shi Qianfeng shook his head: "Obviously not. The only thing that allowed him to have this new life was the 'information', the information about the bush. location information.”

"A sudden plague will cause the price of targeted drugs in the area to skyrocket; a once-in-a-century extreme climate will cause crop failure in a region, making wheat as valuable as gold."

"If we can know the arrival of plagues and natural disasters in advance, we can make hundreds of times the usual profits." Shi Qianfeng said calmly: "But not everyone is a [revelation]. Most of the time, we are If you can’t predict the future, the only way you can go all out is now.”

"So, you created this place."

Song Shi stretched out a hand and crossed the sea of ​​light spots. Such an action caused a large amount of information to rush into his mind.

In a hypermarket thousands of miles away, there is an account of the balloons that the teenager bought casually; in the stock market that opened this morning, the stock price of a cutting-edge technology company rose; in the terminal that is about to be demolished, there is a list of the last batch of containers to be put into storage.

Although he had already guessed what was here, Song Shi couldn't help but sigh: "You guys remind me of an acquaintance."

"I guess you are referring to the [Supervision Network] of the Eastern Continent Republic." Shi Qianfeng smiled slightly: "We must admit that we have referred to that thing."

"However, compared to it, our [Trade Network] focuses more on the 'utilization' of information."

Shi Qianfeng waved his hand, and the two light spots broke away from the ocean and flew in front of him, floating quietly.

"Price, payment method, delivery period, liability for breach of contract, market fluctuations. Every kind of 'information' can easily affect the operation of trade."

"The simplest example is that two businesses in an area whose industries could fully complement each other may have missed this complementary opportunity because they were unfamiliar with each other or failed to realize it."

"Or, because of a mistake in docking work or the exchange of private interests, the costs that both trading parties need to pay have increased significantly."

The man pinched the light spots with his hands, and then gently pushed them together. The two naturally blended together like water droplets, and merged into a slightly larger light spot.

"But under the control of [Trade Network], these will no longer be problems."

"We control all information, and trade will no longer be an uncontrollable chaotic system, but will become an orderly and huge organism."

In the center of Shi Qianfeng's palm, with the light spot as the center, a line spread out——

No, to be precise, the light point extends out of dozens of lines, and each line is thrown into another light point. Every light point in the ocean of light is linked together by countless lines.

"Once the [Trade Network] is fully operational, Yenan's resource utilization will reach an unprecedented level, and all redundant errors will be minimized."

".Trade Network Channel?" Song Shi listened quietly for a long time and finally spoke: "Why do I feel that 'Yinan Resource Integration System' is a more suitable name for your system than Trade Network Channel?"

"I'm not totally against it."

Shi Qianfeng clapped his hands, and the scene of wires and networks that could make a phobia patient faint collapsed and returned to its original appearance of light spots.

"——Bring down the culprits who caused the disaster in this world, make them pay an absolute price, get back what belongs to us, and let the new world in the future be guided in a more ideal direction."

The smile on Shi Qianfeng's face faded away at some point.

That clear voice was a little more solemn at this moment.

"Your Majesty, please report back to the Chairman."

"Haita Trading never dared to forget the 'Glorious Righteous Way'." The man said word by word: "Since the first day of the Seven-Earth War, we have not been preparing for this for a moment, a minute, or a second. "

"The patrol inspector is his eyes, his sharp blade and sword. You are here as he is here."

Shi Qianfeng looked solemn. He looked at Song Shi, but his eyes seemed to pass through the young man and see some kind of personified existence in the distance.

His voice rose slightly: "When the war is announced again, Haita Trading will bring him an efficient, powerful, and functioning industry."

Song Shi stared at this ocean of light, and after a while, he said: "How complete is your [Trading Network Road] now?"

"The main frame and reference branches have been set up." Shi Qianfeng replied loudly: "There are still a few details left to polish, so it's not a problem."

"call"

Song Shi breathed out slowly: "It's fine that I'm a border patrol, but Anthony and Lapis Lazuli, you are actually willing to reveal such a secret?"

"Both sides."

Shi Qianfeng calmed down his solemnity, and his face was once again filled with a calm smile.

He first raised his index finger and smiled at the two people next to the young man: "First, with Anthony Sally's qualifications and potential, he will be qualified to touch the existence of the trade network sooner or later. I am not violating the confidentiality regulations, I can only say that it is a small It’s an advance.”

"And Mr. Lapis Lazuli, you are the core follower of Meteor, Atal, [Legion] Yao Xing III. Now you are reborn from death, and your prospects are unpredictable and unlimited. We are very interested and look forward to you leading the omnic exchange. Get a new life.”

Lapis Lazuli showed no surprise.

Since he woke up in Zhuguang City, as a fellow traveler of Song Shi, he has done so many things and has long been subjected to countless gazes and studies.

With the power of Haita Trading, it is by no means impossible to deduce its true identity.

"Second thing"

Shi Qianfeng said this.

"In the final analysis, after so many years, everyone has pretty much guessed what each other is preparing for."
