This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 243 Since it is a win-win situation, of course it is all

   Night falls.

   Since the boss went to talk about business and has not returned, the caravan camped in the open space outside the south gate of the outpost.

   The scent at the north gate of the outpost made him greedy. The two caravan guards slipped out of the camp while they were eating, wanting to exchange chips for some food.

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

instead……

dislike?

  The two were stunned for a moment.

   I must have read it wrong.

   "Mommy skin, why is this plastic sheet again?"

   Zhang Hai, who turned his back to the customer, scolded, raised his flour-stained fist and knocked on the price board next to him, saying in a non-standard language.

   "Chip, ten."

  Ten chips? !

   The eyes of the two caravan guards widened, and for a while they suspected that they had heard it wrong.

   Their daily salary is only ten chips!

   And it’s still time for attendance.

   For a meal in Boulder City, 5 chips can be enough to eat, and the chips in the surrounding survivor settlements will be more valuable, usually 3 chips can be enough to eat.

   It is unheard of to have ten chips for a bowl of noodles!

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

   "Damn, are you too dark?"

   "Are we looking for faults from other places on purpose?"

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

  Things that all players know, that kind of white plastic piece is exchanged for silver coins, two can be exchanged for one, is it unreasonable to sell ramen for five silver coins for ten chips?

   This is very reasonable!

  I didn’t charge their handling fees myself, it’s already generous enough, okay?

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

  Otherwise he would definitely scold him back.

Laughed.

   Who was he afraid of?

The players next to    are watching the excitement and discussing curiously.

   "What are these NPCs talking about?"

   "I guess it's because Boss Zhang's ramen is too dark."

   "Hahaha, well deserved! Well scolded! I wanted to scold for a long time!"

   "Wait a minute, I'll make a note of their swear words first."

   "Why do you remember that thing?"

   "Shout when you're fighting, otherwise you'll be lying, and you won't understand the other side even if you shout, and you feel like you're not literate. It's better to learn the dialect of the NPCs, and you'll have momentum when you shout!"

   "Fuck! Brother, you have to teach me!"

  On other people's territory, the two guards didn't dare to cause trouble.

   Not to mention so many eyes watching.

   The two of them scolded for a few words, and then went to other stalls.

   But what makes them collapse is that the same is true of other stalls, the prices are ridiculously expensive, and it was not until they finally found a person who could communicate with them that they asked the reason for this.

   "With chips, it's twice the price." Akica took out a silver coin and shook it in front of the two of them, "Those blue jackets trade with this coin."

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

   "That's right! This is their currency!"

  The two caravan guards looked at each other with a confused look.

   What coin is this?

   They went to so many places, it was the first time I saw each other.

   "I'll give you two chips, can you sell me this silver coin?" the bearded caravan guard asked tentatively.

   Qiucao shook his head and politely refused.

   "It's no use if we want this."

  Akiba nodded vigorously.

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

  Two caravan guards: "..."

  Is there still a place where the chips are not circulated in the whole Qingquan City?

   That's amazing!

   And who is Xiaoyu?

Not far from   , Zhang Hai, who was below, raised his head and glanced at it, just when he saw the two NPCs walking towards the outside of the market, he couldn't help laughing.

   "Which country do these NPCs come from, and why are they so poor?"

   You can't even eat a bowl of ramen.

   If you don't buy it, forget it, and beep at him for a long time.

   made him think there was some hidden mission.

   Holding a bowl and drinking noodle soup, the fleeing mole rat in the canyon gave him a look and said.

   "You didn't catch up with the good time. When the people from the company first came here in the 'Land Boat' expansion pack, 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 like much."

   Elf King Fugui rolled his eyes.

   "Less Versailles, we are talking about silver coins from a few versions ago, can you compare? At that time, the liver was only 10 silver coins a day!"

   Construction site boy and Brick: "Hey, I miss the time when a bowl of mushroom soup used to be 5 copper coins."

  The canyon was fleeing, the mole gave him a sideways look: "Come on, I felt distressed for a long time with an empty shot. Are you sure you want to go back to the old version?"

   The construction site boy and Brick scratched their heads.

   "Uh, that's fine."

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

   It was really cool to dash forward with a light machine gun.

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

   Originally, the two of them planned to go in quietly without anyone noticing, but by coincidence their captain was standing at the gate of the camp.

  The expressions of the two of them were instantly embarrassed, but Nai He had already met their eyes, so they couldn't pretend they didn't see it, so they could only bite the bullet and walked over.

   Staring at the two with his infiltrating electronic eye, Han Long said with a blank expression.

   "What did you two do?"

  The young guard hesitated for a long time and was speechless, but the older guard responded quickly and said quickly.

   "Report Captain, we are going to inquire about information!"

  Han Long looked at the two of them.

   "What information?"

   "Prices! We are learning about local prices!" The slightly older guard continued quickly, "The level of consumption here is ridiculously high, and they actually need ten chips for a bowl of noodles!"

   Another guard reacted and hurriedly answered.

   "That's right, and they don't use chips here, they trade with something called silver coins. It takes two chips to exchange a silver coin, which is simply too expensive!"

  Two chips for one silver coin?

  Han Long frowned slightly.

   This is an interesting piece of information, I can tell the boss later.

but……

One yard owned by a yard.

   Staring at the two of them expressionlessly, Han Long said slowly.

   "According to the rules of the caravan, if you leave the camp without authorization at night, you will be fined one week's salary, and the second time, your entire salary will be confiscated, and the caravan will be fired."

   "If I find you violating discipline next time, you should know what that means."

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

"Yes……"

   "We don't dare any more."

In Boulder City, it is not easy to find a decent job. Ordinary caravans will not randomly recruit a few people of unknown origin into the team, and they will not take the risk of being placed by competitors and recruit those who have been recruited by other businessmen. Team fired dude.

  They who were expelled from the caravan and did not have a skill, usually had only two paths to go.

   Or go into the factory to make screws and receive a subsistence salary, until one day he can't work anymore and die in an alley where no one cares.

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

The threat of    still carries a lot of weight!

  The two walked towards the camp with their heads down.

  Han Long didn't look at the two of them, but continued to look in the direction of the south gate.

   It has been over two hours.

   The boss has not come back.

   frowned slightly, just when he was thinking about whether to find someone to inquire about the boss's situation, his electronic eyes suddenly moved slightly and locked on the north side.

   Soon, a familiar figure came into his eyes.

   Looking at the boss who came back from the north, Han Long finally breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him.

   "Boss, you're finally back, and I'm going to have people find you."

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

With an expression on his face, Liszt looked at his right-hand man and continued, "Help me call Qian Duo and Qian Lai. I will wait for them in the tent. I have something important to explain 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 any more questions, and nodded neatly.

"Yes."

  …

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

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

   "Boss, are you looking for us?"

   The tall one is called Qian Duo, and the short one is called Qian Lai. Both of them are Liszt’s apprentices and have been with him since they were eleven or twelve years old. They have been with him for seven or eight years now.

Liszt has been cultivating the two as successors. Originally, he planned to wait until the tenth year to gradually hand over the business of the caravan to the two. life.

   But now, it seems that this day can be brought forward.

   "I just got a shipment of 200 rifles and 50,000 rounds of ammunition from Blue Jacket. In exchange, I'm going to leave them with twenty sets of KV-1 exoskeletons in stock."

   A set of exoskeletons for 10 rifles?

   When the two of them heard this, a surprised expression suddenly appeared on their faces.

   Qian Duo cautiously reminded.

   "But... Boss, aren't you planning to send this shipment to Red River Town to trade with the slave traders 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 cannot digest that much, and the price of slaves has been kept very low.

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

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

In Boulder City, the KV-1 exoskeleton is not a rare thing. Although Liszt usually sells chips for 800~1000 points outside, in fact, the cost of purchasing goods is only about 400 points to 500 points, and the actual production cost is only 300 points. come out.

   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 bamboo pole-like connecting parts, it is a gift.

   After most people buy the KV-1 exoskeleton, 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 exoskeletons are exchanged for 10 rifles, and they are also rifles in the settlements of survivors outside. It is difficult to evaluate whether this transaction is a profit or a loss.

  The key is to get to their next stop, can you sell these rifles?

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

"It doesn't matter, Red River Town is preparing for a war with the Bone-biting Tribe Snake Clan. They need not only exoskeletons, but also a large number of weapons. Rifles and bullets can also sell for good prices there, and the most important thing is , if we can open up the market, this trade route will become a gold mine!"

"The second thing that the blue jackets promised me, as long as we can sell their weapons to Red River Town, and then bring in the phosphate rock, sulphur ore, rare metals, aluminum, etc. they need, they can send us Selling more goods...which at least doubles the profit."

"The reason why I came to you here is for this matter," Liszt paused for a moment and looked at the two people standing in front of him, "You've been with me for a while, and your growth will be me. It's all in your eyes. Now, it's time to put what you have learned into practice! As I said, you take the caravan to Honghe Town, and then follow the list I gave you to buy those supplies back with our goods."

   A surprised expression appeared on the faces of the two of them.

  Although they had thought that one day the boss would hand over the caravan to them, but they did not expect this day to come so quickly.

  Qian Lai asked hurriedly.

   "What about you, boss?"

  Liszt said with a slight smile.

   "Me? Of course I have more important things to deal with! I plan to open a factory here to produce solid-state hydrogen batteries, as well as 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 the production of solid-state hydrogen batteries and motors for exoskeletons?

This……

   sounds too weird.

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

  There is no order outside the Stone City. Not only does it need to hire a large number of guards, but it also has to spend a lot of money to persuade the engineers and workers of the Stone City to leave the giant wall full of security.

  The goods produced must also be very careful. No insurance company will provide them with insurance policies. Not only must they be wary of predators, but they must also be careful of malicious damage by competitors and the dirty hands and feet of the wastelanders who work.

  Without orderly soil, even seeds cannot germinate, let alone a factory.

However……

   Their boss is very confident at the moment.

   I don't know what ecstasy soup was poured into.

"More money, you follow what I said just now, follow Han Long and the others to Honghe Town to negotiate the deal. You can appropriately sell a small portion of the profit, but we must convince our customers that this is a long-term deal. Buy and sell! We'll keep supplying them with weapons, and the business can go on and on."

"Qian Lai, you go back to Jushi City and follow the list I gave you to purchase related production equipment, whether it is eliminated or the bottom of the box, as long as you can buy it. Also, remember to collect some for me that can Engineers who operate those equipment, you should know where to look.”

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

   "Good boss."

After    explained the matter clearly, Liszt let the two go down, while he sat down on the sleeping bag, took out the electric teapot from the package on the side, and made himself a cup of hot cocoa.

   This is a habit he has developed during his many years of travel.

   Drink something sweet and hot to help you fall asleep faster.

   He held the cup in his hand and warmed it up. Looking at the rising white mist, a smug smile suddenly appeared on Liszt's face.

   "My special mother is really a genius!"

   This time.

   Really going to make a fortune!

  …

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

  The first plan is to invest in setting up factories.

   Vault 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 he can start work immediately.

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

   Whether it is exported to Boulder City, or sold to local workshops in the industrial area.

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

   "If silver coins can't be directly exchanged for chips here, what's the point of earning more silver coins?"

   For his doubts, the manager patiently explained to him.

   "Silver coins can't be directly exchanged for chips, but you can use them to buy what you want, then take it back to Boulder and exchange it for your favorite piece of plastic... I mean those colorful chips."

   "Although instead of doing this, I recommend that you take a long-term view and build a house with silver coins, open a hotel, open a tavern, or expand production."

"Next month at the latest, I have a large caravan passing by. I forgot to tell you that because we helped the pioneers of the enterprise in the war, we are now the permanent strategic partner of the enterprise. You are a businessman, you should Know what that means. Caravans from the East Coast are more inclined to stop by us. Imagine the goodies they carry, do you still think silver coins are useless?"

   "Even if agriculture and industry were tossed out completely, this place would soon prosper because of trade. Trust me, the silver coins in your pocket will never treat you badly, and you will make more money with them."

   seems to feel that the strength is not enough. After the manager finished speaking, he drew another big pie for him.

   "Next year, we will plant at least 3,000 acres of cam trees, which will be 30 times the supply of Brown Farm!"

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

   After hearing these words, Liszt immediately made a calculation in his mind.

  3000 acres of Kam tree.

  If you can really grow that much, the rubber and biomass oil produced here can supply at least 13% of the consumption of Boulder City.

   This is already a scary proportion.

  Compared with the planting area here, his plantation in the south and several nearby gathering places for small survivors are like a small fight.

   For the first set of plans proposed by the manager, he immediately agreed.

   Because he can hardly see the shortcomings of this scheme.

Especially when he learned from Chu Guang that the army of these blue jackets not only defeated the army of thousands of troops, but also defeated the two troops sent by the Bone-biting Tribe to the northern suburbs of Qingquan City at a very small price. After the thousand-man team, this confidence is even stronger!

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

  For a new survivor stronghold, such strength is already very strong!

   Even if it is the militia of Boulder City, it will take some time and cost to deal with so many plunderers.

   can ensure the safety of the industrial area, and can provide labor and raw materials.

   Coupled with the previous transactions, the manager's credit is also reliable.

  Liszt thought he could give it a try.

   What he needs to do is not difficult, just buy some equipment with chips, and then hire some unemployed engineers to operate the equipment, and guide those displaced people who are said to have received a little education to engage in production.

  This will cost about 100,000 or even 200,000 chips, and advanced equipment may be more expensive, maybe 1 million.

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

   He chose the safest product.

  Solid-state hydrogen batteries and motors for exoskeletons.

   Even if the local market cannot digest these two things, they can be dragged to Boulder City to sell, or they can be assembled into simple exoskeletons, sold to places like Honghe Town, and brought back as slaves or raw materials.

   This business is a **** profit no matter how you look at it.

   And a stable batch!

   The second plan is the same.

   However, this plan focuses on cooperation in sales, and he needs to spend a little effort to sell the products produced here to farther 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 both solutions are win-win.

   Then why not have them all?
