Chapter 1263: Transaction at Cost Price, Precious Resources to Supplement the Foundation!
More than an hour had passed since Feng Tianmin brought Sean to this quiet reception room.
Boom!
Boom!
The footsteps outside the door finally sounded, light but powerful, like the hands of time ticking.
However, until there was a knock on the door, Sean still could not recover from the simple development document report in front of him.
There are no words to describe his mood at this moment.
If there are no problems with the data and expressions in this document, then the Tianyuan Territory may be developing even faster than the company, far exceeding all his previous estimates.
Who would have thought that in just eight days, they could complete a journey that would take an ordinary gathering place fifty years to complete.
Moreover, this section of the road went steadily and quickly, and the foundation was so solid that it was jaw-dropping.
squeak.
With a slight turning sound of the door axis, the door of the reception room was slowly pushed open from the outside.
Sean raised his head subconsciously and his eyes fell on the man who walked in.
Different from the attire of most Blue Star men, the man wore a black shorts and a tailored fit, which not only highlighted his strong physique, but also did not lose his elegant demeanor. The lower body is wearing a pair of loose bloomers of the same color, which looks casual yet stable.
As you take steps calmly and powerfully, it seems like every step exudes confidence and strength.
"Old friends, I'm glad to see you again!"
Seeing Sean standing up with a stunned look on his face, the smile on Somo's face couldn't help but grow stronger.
Jian Jian was so unexpected. When he received the news from the search and rescue team, his first reaction was naturally not to believe it.
According to the distance estimated before the Red Spider Caravan left, even under the best circumstances, this trip would take at least a year.
If there is even the slightest accident, the time may be extended to one and a half years, or even two years.
However, counting the time carefully now, only eight short months have passed since Sean left!
If the distance between the foundation's headquarters and Tianyuan territory was only this small.
Even if the New World will undergo drastic changes next, the terrain will expand five times again.
The territory can still follow the route flowed by the Red Spider caravan, open up trade routes, and regularly go to the foundation headquarters for purchases!
"Long time no see, Lord Soma, you are still as young and promising as before!"
Sean's voice was full of respect and emotion, even somewhat similar to that of the gopher guys in the southern suburbs.
Whether it was the brief confrontation between the caravan guard and the search and rescue team, or what he saw and heard after being brought to this outpost, he was deeply aware of the extraordinary strength and wisdom of the man in front of him.
Sean silently compared them in his mind.
Perhaps the first generation chairman and commander of the company, ‘Nick de la Cruz’, at this age, may not be as dazzling as the man in front of him!
Seeing the respect shown by Sean, Su Mo couldn't help but smile softly in his heart, and then sat on the sofa opposite with great momentum.
The current Tianyuan Territory is indeed completely different from the original one, as if it has been completely transformed.
Recalling that when the Red Spider Caravan first arrived, Tianyuan Territory was still an infant.
The slightest disturbance could lead to a fatal crisis.
However, eight months later, today's Tianyuan Territory is no longer what it used to be. Even the academy's research institute has been successfully eliminated.
By the way, all the forces in the surrounding Qingang City, except Qingang Sanctuary, are under control.
It's just a fifth-level land caravan from the Foundation. If you still can't figure out your own weight.
There is no need to dispatch formal troops, the search and rescue team sent out can easily solve it.
"Haha, it's an honor for me, Mr. Su, to be praised by Mr. Sean for being young and promising. But having said that, the territory can develop today thanks to the help of you old friends. If it weren't for the Red Spider Merchant Even with the batch of precious goods that the team had previously traded, it would be difficult for the Tianyuan Territory to develop to its current scale.
Come, don't be polite to me when you return to our Tianyuan territory. As long as you are willing, this is the home of the Red Spider Caravan. You can stay as long as you want! "
hiss!
This manager is still as humble, enthusiastic and friendly as before.!
Sean couldn't help but feel shocked. Dozens of different words of praise flashed through his mind, and he almost couldn't suppress the joy that welled up in his heart.
He was still worried about how to establish a relationship with Sumo just now, so he slowly brought up the idea of the Red Spider Caravan joining him.
Unexpectedly, they actually still cherished the old feelings of the Red Spider Caravan trade without any airs.
This is so rare!
No wonder Tianyuan Territory has developed to its current scale in eight months. With such a manager and lord, it is difficult for the territory to regress even if it wants to!
"Lord Sumo, we are really rude. It just so happened that the caravan brought a lot of goods when it came out this time, and planned to sell them around the Tianyuan territory for a while. As an apology for the rash interruption, I have informed Captain Feng in advance. Now, all the goods needed by Tianyuan Territory can be sold at 8. no, 7.5% off the cost price!”
Before leaving, Sean quickly changed his mind and changed the 20% discount to 75% off.
For many goods whose profits are already very thin, this is no longer considered the cost price but a loss of money.
But in Sean's opinion, the money lost is extremely worth it!
"Oh, you brought a lot of goods this time?"
Soma nodded with interest.
"I just saw that the caravan has added two more chariots. Mr. Sean is aiming for something big this time."
"Of course, I'm not going to hide it from you. I should say that your previous prediction was correct. The Foundation has not had such a good time since the world changed so much."
Sean looked bitter, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, and then told about what he had seen and heard in the past eight months.
"After leaving your territory, we followed the signal all the way north to the nearest headquarters of the Foundation to gather. Alas, let's not talk about the dangers we encountered at the beginning. This world is so weird, it's just like the world described in those novels before the war.
There are lizards that can breathe fire, crows that can spit out ice arrows, and yes, there are also monsters who can't die!"
The distance from Tianyuan Territory to the first-level headquarters of the Foundation is about 14,000 kilometers.
According to the location distribution, it should be relatively close to the Northern Alliance, about 3,000 kilometers.
But when the distance is enlarged next, 14,000 will instantly become 70,000 kilometers, which is equivalent to two full circles around the earth.
Of course, this is the distance of zigzagging on land.
If calculated according to the straight-line flight distance of civil aviation, 70,000 kilometers is only about a quarter, or even less.
It is shorter than the distance from the Capital Airport to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
It is roughly equivalent to the distance from the capital to Jinshan, the lighthouse country.
"The first-level foundation headquarters that sent the signal is not the largest headquarters of the foundation, but is built in the Amethyst Highlands of Ruoergai Prefecture! From there we learned that not only the foundation was not fully teleported to this world, but also the academy, enterprises, and those large and small forces."
"This is okay for enterprises and academies, but it is a fatal blow to the foundation that already relies on lines!"
Since its inception, enterprises have firmly implemented a self-operating system. Each super-large city they carefully built is like an independent ecological kingdom, which can easily complete the complete self-circulation process from demand to production and then to consumption.
This highly self-sufficient operation mode gives enterprises strong endogenous power and stability. Even if they suddenly fell to the new continent and re-rooted, these cities can rely on their healthy internal operating mechanisms to tenaciously support hundreds of years, without being affected by the changes in the outside world.
In sharp contrast to the isolated operation mode of enterprises is the development model of the college.
Although the college also has many research institutes and branches, these seemingly complex systems are actually centered on the Holy City and closely united under the banner of the college.
As long as the college's Holy City remains standing, the foundation of the college will remain solid.
Even if all other research institutes are wiped out, after the Holy City descends, the technology and weapons stored inside are enough to sweep the New Continent back and forth several times, and there is no worry about subsequent development.
Only the Foundation suffered a major blow in this transmission!
Consider the headquarters of the Foundation as a beehive, and these scattered caravans of various sizes are the worker bees in it, responsible for going to every corner of the planet to "collect honey".
The collected honey can not only be used to supply the queen bee, expand the hive, and give birth to more worker bees to expand the power, but also be used to trade with other forces in exchange for the resources needed for the development of the bee colony.
This mode of operation has enhanced the flexibility and adaptability of the foundation to a certain extent, but now it has also exposed its fatal disadvantages.
As a superpower that relies on link circulation, link transmission is the core mechanism of the foundation's operation. Once a failure occurs, the operation of the entire foundation will be paralyzed instantly.
Just like the dilemma faced by the foundation at present, although most of the worker bees have been teleported, only a handful of the most important hives have been teleported.
Because there is no perfect self-circulation mechanism like the corporate city, the hive cannot handle the needs of the worker bees at all, which directly plunges the entire foundation into continuous chaos.
In contrast, the organizational structure and operation mode of the foundation are relatively loose, and the various branches and caravans have long lacked close contact and cooperation due to checks and balances of power.
Now even if the headquarters wants to regroup and connect, it is difficult to direct it.
"Doesn't this mean that the goods you brought back are all a batch of goods that are piled up at the headquarters?"
Su Mo tried to understand and got Sean's affirmation.
"Yes, although there are still a large number of machines used to produce various goods in the foundation, they are temporarily difficult to operate due to the lack of raw materials. Therefore, our mission this time is also very arduous, which is to use these goods to exchange for enough raw materials to bring back and make all the machines work!"
In theory, these words cannot be told to the buyer.
Especially if the difficulties currently faced by the foundation are mentioned, the other party can easily bargain with them.
But now Sean has already opened the price to 75% of the loss, so he naturally doesn't care about these.
Just one sentence.
Su Mo gave enough sincerity, and he was willing to return with enough sincerity!
"Oh? Raw materials are our Tianyuan's specialty!"
Su Mo nodded slightly, but he couldn't help but mourn for the future situation of the foundation.
The area of the new continent is about to expand five times again, and the foundation that is anxious to wait for the rice to cook may be in trouble.
Even if these scattered worker bees move faster, there will be a window period of one or two years.
Can they survive?
"This is our brand new cargo list. I believe you will be satisfied with it. The types of cargo in several categories are at least ten times richer than last time!" Sean said, taking out a tablet from his briefcase.
He clicked twice to unlock it, and then pushed the tablet over along the coffee table.
The way to browse this cargo list is not much different from the last time, but when he saw the eye-catching number of items in the lower right corner, Su Mo's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
Wow, there are eighty-nine lists of long and short items?
Even though there are many things that are no longer used in the territory, the number of cargo this time has reached four times that of the last time.
Picking up the tablet, Su Mo concentrated and began to read it carefully.
First is the resource category.
Due to the lack of raw materials at the foundation headquarters, those rare metals and elements did not appear this time.
But what was added was the "fuel rods" that the mole guys in Qinggang City had been dreaming about.
A full six hundred and fifty!
Although the amount is half of what was seized in the academy before, things have always been rare and valuable.
If we take it to the city and use some hunger marketing methods to sell it to those managers, it will definitely sell for an unexpectedly high price.
Secondly, there are many specialties unique to other regions of Blue Star in the resource category, similar to the special algae unique to Qinggang City.
Su Mo only took a general glance and felt jealous of most of the specialties.
This is good stuff, especially some crops with special effects.
Even if the possibility of successful cultivation in the territory is very low, with the blessing of the system and the route blessing of the small players, maybe it will work?
Once it is formed on a large scale, Tianyuan Territory will not only export industrial products, small commodities, and raw materials in the future.
A large number of specialties will take root in the territory, and wealth will be continuously brought back from all over the New World.
"Good stuff, these are all good stuff!"
"Mr. Sean, please be sure to sell these specialties to our Tianyuan Territory. Believe me, we will definitely offer a price that satisfies everyone!"
Su Mo clapped his hands and sighed, and the satisfied look on his face made Sean feel relieved.
Indeed, ordinary resources, even if given away for free, would be of little help to the current Tianyuan Territory.
But these special resources that are so precious that they have never been seen before, each of them is a huge bonus to the territory's heritage.
It seems that the idea of selecting goods before is indeed correct.
This special manager from Tianyuan, the lord really doesn't like those finished industrial products, but likes these resources that are helpful for future development and things that supplement the heritage!
