One hundred and eleventh chapter old enemy(1/2)
You should know that Zhao Yi, who was sitting opposite the dining table, was a planetary guardian holding heavy troops, not a gang member who could let him call and drink. Also, the two land warriors stationed on the border of the city are not useless puppets. They could rush in at any time and completely destroy themselves and the entire New George City.
"...I don't know the specific numbers very well. It's about one million federal standard currency!"
After weighing the pros and cons, the cunning Difoni reported half of the actual number.
The same is true for Tracy.
"One million...hehehehehehe!
Zhao Yi didn't point it out either. He smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I have no other meaning. If you take them out and invest, how much profit do you think will be more reasonable?"
A layer of anger was already on the faces of the two gangster leaders.
In their opinion, this is almost a matter of asking for money by opening the bill.
"I am frank, if you can use money to get the understanding of adults, I think that 100,000 star coins should be a fair number."
Difoni replied coldly: "If there are more, it may be beyond what I can bear. I believe you know that this planet has no source of output, and this money... we will use it to support all the population in the entire city."
This is a threat. Although the attitude and tone of speaking are very sincere.
"The same is true for my "Masonic". Boss Difoni said the same thing as I thought." Tracy drank a glass of strong wine and said with a gloomy face.
"Why does no one believe me when I tell the truth?"
Zhao Yi scratched his head and smiled helplessly, "I don't mean to blackmail you."
After saying that, he stopped talking. He only pulled a piece from the canned smoked chicken plate next to him and started eating.
Seeing this, Difoni and Tracy, who looked at each other, had a uncertain doubt.
Could it be that we really misunderstood him?
Thinking of this, Difoni said carefully: "Your Excellency, I don't know what you mean by investment..."
"Answer my question first. How much profit do you want to get from one million federal standard currency investment every year?" Zhao Yi did not give in at all.
“Invest…this…”
Difoni was a little embarrassed and thought about it again and finally hesitated and replied: "Twenty percent... no, fifteen, fifteen percent. This number should be very reasonable."
"I can give you one hundred percent."
"One hundred, haha! Then I... wait a moment, what did you say? One hundred percent?"
Difoni, who suddenly woke up, opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Is this true?"
"Of course it's true? What's the benefit of cheating you?"
Zhao Yi swallowed a piece of chicken, took another sip of red wine, looked at him with his eyes, and said slowly: "Give me one million, and at this time next year, you will get two million."
The two gang leaders felt a sudden thunderous explosion on their foreheads, which shocked them there on the spot.
What is the concept of 100% profit?
The most common way of trading in the universe is to run a business. This kind of business behavior from ancient times is very similar to the trade in the ancient era of the Great Discovery of Earth. Merchant ships loaded with various cargo transported a large number of goods from one place to another between planets, earning the difference from it, and then filled the local specialties with the cargo hold, driving the caravan to other planets that needed these goods... and it continued, coming and going.
Salt, coffee, tea, cotton... Due to the different production capacity and demand of each planet, and the inventory of goods and market saturation, the selling price and purchase price of caravans will also fluctuate and change. With tax rates, energy replenishment required for navigation, and necessary expenses such as wear of parts of ships, after comprehensive calculation, the profit of running merchants in the administrative area is generally between 10% and 20%. If you are lucky and encounter a planet that urgently needs a certain commodity and has to significantly increase the purchase price, then this standard may also reach 30% or more.
However, this is rare.
Dangerous areas are different from administrative areas.
Because the waterway is controlled by pirates, the profits of the goods there are as high as more than 80%. Due to the limitations of the armistice agreement signed by the Earth Federation and the Pan-United Nations, the federal forces cannot penetrate it, let alone protect the caravans. It is precisely because of this that smuggling merchants in the marginal areas have become a high-risk, difficult, lucrative, but risk-profitable thing.
From this we can imagine how shocked Zhao Yi's 100% profit was to the two gang leaders who were mysterious in this.
"Your Excellency, are you sure...Isn't you kidding me just now?"
Under the pressure of inner throbbing and frenzy, Difoni asked in a tone of disbelief: "As far as I know, ag64 produces a limited number of crystal particles every year. If the source of profit you are referring to is this, I want to..."
No wonder he had such a reaction.
Who would give up such a good thing with 100% profit? What's more, on this barren planet, he really can't see any future that could produce rich benefits.
“I never lie about money——”
Zhao Yi, who saw through his inner thoughts, smiled and took out a small information recorder from his pocket. Press the button and displayed a holographic map of the ag64 planet before them.
"This is a planet with a completely desert surface, and a planet that is worthless to ordinary people. As the garrison officer here, I have the responsibility and obligation to rejuvenate it. New Minsk and New Georgetown are just a small part of it. Here, it will become the starting point of prosperity, the focus of all businessmen's eyes, and the center of the universe.
Zhao Yi should be the kind of person with talent for speech. For more than an hour, he was occupied by his long and scattered speeches. Difoni and Tracy were also very interested at the beginning, but later they turned pale and drowsy... In the end, they were really unbearable, and even said quietly: "I would rather let this guy get out of here than listen to him say one more word. Otherwise, I would go crazy!"
Half an hour later, Zhao Tian's goal had been achieved and naturally did not continue to stay. In this way, in a friendly atmosphere, the host and the host reached an agreement on issues of interest to each other. The gangsters reiterated the great position of only one government and declared that they were willing to contribute to the construction of the city under the leadership of the garrison officer and contribute to the harmony of society...
"Why...why do I feel like I've been cheated?"
Looking at the empty dining table, Tracy slowly licked his lips, feeling a little unreal.
It was really hard for him to believe that with just a few words from the other party, he actually handed over millions of dollars. My God, that's the income of all the industries he has in his hands for a whole year!
"I don't know what's going on, I just think what he said is very tempting and sounds pretty good."
Difoni was also full of bitterness. However, his heart was not as sad as it seemed on the surface.
"I will never break my promise. In a year, the money you invested will receive 100% profit."
This is a "message" that Zhao Yi gave to him before leaving.
It was purely through the communication method of thinking consciousness. Difoni only felt that the other party's voice completely penetrated the limitations of hearing and directly penetrated into his mind. It was from that moment that he truly believed that this young garrison officer was indeed not as simple as it seemed.
Only high-level "intelligent" psychics can cause different amplitudes of consciousness shock to the listener through sound transmission.
Zhao Yi's language shock was very slight, but it did exist.
This is a comprehensive expression of personal strength and charm, and it is the most direct way.
Although the development of New Minsk lacks funds, Zhao Yi has not yet reached the point where he has to borrow money from others.
The money was taken out by him using his mental control ability and allowed the two gang leaders to "voluntarily" take it out. Of course, he did not intend to use this method to seize it. Otherwise, he would not have left those words for Difoni before leaving.
This is just an attitude he showed to the biggest gangster in New Georgetown.
cooperate.
The accumulation of power takes time. With the current development status of the colonial base, it is not enough to swallow the entire ag64 planet in one bite. Instead of completely rebelling with the gangsters, it is better to use the line of interests to pull them onto their own chariots. After all, a war-torn city is not conducive to development. No tourist will choose the area where war breaks out for entertainment. Compared with lofty spiritual needs, his life is obviously more important.
With the lessons of the "Yamashita Group", they incorporate interest relations into their own sphere of influence. The conflict between money is far more useful than verbal swearing. Especially when personal interests are threatened, the gangsters will burst out with resistance that is far more terrifying than the army and the government.
New George Town has basically belonged to Zhao Yi's management area.
This is also his first city since he served as a garrison officer, obeying orders and obeying himself. Although there is no question of complete control similar to that of Neominsk, with more and more brainwashed civilians influx, and the dual role of consciousness assimilation and erosion... it won't take long to see a real kingdom of ** in the sense that it will eventually appear in the universe.
The sky is like the purest place on earth, azure blue.
A fleet of heavy off-road vehicles is racing across the vast and desolate desert.
Through the dark goggles, he could not see through the contents of the other person's eyes. But Zhang Xiaoxian could clearly feel the faint body temperature conveyed from Zhao Yi.
She sat quietly, her brain thinking almost stopped. It was not numb, but a kind of happiness that was strong enough to sit by her side so that she could snuggle up to.
"This is our planet, our future, and our current home."
Zhao Yi held the steering wheel and swayed regularly as the body of the car was shaking, allowing the vehicle to carry him, heading towards the direction of No. minsk.
He couldn't help but remember the time he had been in the base under SV.
It is a lonely and dark world, and everything that I am extremely familiar with. Leaving means that those should be the warmest parts of my memory and may be left behind forever. I may never go back, and here will become a new future, new everything, and the beginning of all the prefixes with the "new".
Zhang Xiaoxian in the passenger seat slowly stretched out her body and leaned her head gently on Zhao Yi's shoulder. Her long, soft black hair fluttered in the wind and circled and flew in the narrow cab. Occasionally, the ends of her hair jumped through Zhao Yi's nostrils, itchy, but it was very comfortable. He slowed down his car and smiled on his face.
Zhao Yi suddenly understood why in those love books, we should use sentences full of resentment and melancholy to describe those poor men and women who cannot meet for various reasons... Fortunately, he and Zhang Xiaoxian did not become one of them. At least, there is also ag64, a place that can be used as home.
At this moment, a sudden burst of warning sounded on the microcomputer on Zhao Yi's wrist. He frowned and pressed the call button hard. On the screen the size of a palm, Feng Tantan's anxious face immediately appeared.
"You'd better rush back immediately, our troubles are coming--"
Half an hour later, the off-road magnetic levitation vehicle driven by Zhao Yi rushed into the base gate at a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour.
"What the hell is going on-"
While asking about the progress of the matter on the microcomputer, he ran quickly towards the central control room. When the thick all-titanium alloy steel door separated to both sides, the first thing that caught his eye was Feng Tan's face that was slightly anxious but calm and suggestive.
"This is the message we just received. The source of the radio waves is in space directly above the base."
As he said that, he pointed out his finger and gently pressed the control button of the central computer. A dazzling red text appeared on the screen.
"Boy, I'll give you an hour and get out of this base. Otherwise, I'll smash you all the bottles and jars, including all the bottles and jars."
Who is it? So arrogant?
With a full of questions in his mind, Zhao Yi, who looked angry, clicked on the surveillance camera on the screen.
He controlled the camera on the active detector and moved the viewing angle forward carefully. As the blurred picture of the unknown fleet on the screen gradually became clear, the logo pattern painted on the side of the warship finally appeared in front of him.
It was a white castle with a round big-faced doll head on it. Because of the rough painting, it looked like a child's unintentional graffiti. It was ugly, ugly, but still innocent and childlike.
"Snow Castle... It turns out it's this guy-"
Looking at this strange pattern, Zhao Yi couldn't help but shook his head unexpectedly.
Among the Pirates of the Space, only one guy will use this pattern as a symbol of the action of the criminal gang—the black boss of "Snow Castle", Wang Er.
I beat this guy away last time. I didn't expect him to come again...
To be continued...
