Starting From Zero

Chapter 56 Big Deal

Solant said: "It seems that our alliance is not strong enough?"

Ashford patted Solant: "Don't say some things so clearly!"

"In normal times, we really don't need to pay too much attention, but now the situation has changed. Facing the world system that is about to be reshuffled, we need and must unite closely. If you don't want to leave this peak, don't care too much about yourself. Gains and losses. Everyone can no longer hide anything except their last trump card. If anyone still has new power, then let’s bring it out, right?”

These words touched many people, including me of course. Ashford said: "I think no one is properly prepared at this time. Why don't we prepare a little bit tonight and explain it in detail tonight?"

At this time, the waiter came in to serve the food, and everyone immediately started talking about some messy things. Because of the previous conversation, it can be said that the meal was very deserted, and we no longer had the feeling of friends we had in the morning. Maybe this is the fate of people like us? It is impossible and impossible for us to be honest with each other!

In the afternoon, everyone had to prepare for the evening, and no one had the time to play any more. I sent everyone to the hotel and immediately returned to the base to prepare our things. At dinner time, I returned to the hotel to have dinner with everyone, and then we all stayed together in the hotel. The noon conversation continued in the secret conference room.

The shy Agia actually spoke first. "Let me start first!" He took out a small square box from his arms and placed it on the table. After pressing the switch, the box projected a huge full analysis map in the room. It looked like someone Schematic diagram of an electronic system. "This is the latest system's confidential wireless connection technology and the latest fuzzy decentralized system. It will be the strongest command system for future wars. Without relying on satellites and transfer stations, any node can become a control center, and any group of nodes can It can be independently commanded. No matter how "chaotic" your troops are, you can easily command a single soldier. The computer will completely automatically process those specific data. You only need to dictate the strategic intention and emphasize the key points, and the computer will design it for you. Tactical distribution and deployment of troops. The most important point is that this system is a whole, and every node can be discarded. As long as you still have one node to work, you will not lose the command system. How about it? Are you interested in this? "?" Ajia introduced their products in one breath.

Ashford applauded: "The information processing system in the information age, with perfect battlefield survivability and unlimited expansion space, is very good. Is this your trump card? It seems that you have been preparing for a long time?"

"This system can at least increase the combat effectiveness of the troops by 0%, which is quite good." I also applauded. "Don't know the price of this thing...?"

"5.7 trillion euros." Algeria easily reported a number that could give most people a heart attack.

"Five...fifty-seven trillion euros? Did I hear correctly?" Rose swallowed. "What does this include? Is it part of the function or all of it?"

Ajia is shy by nature, but he is unambiguous when doing business. "You heard that right. It's 5.7 trillion euros, and what we want is not all in cash. At least half of it needs to be paid with other things. After all, no one can guarantee the value of currency after the war. Believe me, you won't suffer. . 5.7 trillion includes all technical manuals and all production technologies except core switching technology. You can copy and produce any component of this system without restriction, but there is no way to continue research on this basis. This is it all."

Terry rubbed his forehead and said: "My family told me before I was old that the transaction volume this time would be big, but I didn't expect it to be such a large amount. To be honest, don't you think 5.7 trillion is too high?"

Agia smiled and said: "Regardless of the high price, you won't really need to pay that much in the end. After all, we may also need your technology. If we buy each other's things, we can offset part of each other. "

Solant said jokingly: "Terry, don't you American arms dealers claim to be rich and powerful? Why do I feel that you are so stingy?"

"Don't compare me with those arms dealers who are willing to risk their lives for billions. I am an arms dealer, and they are just dealers."

I interrupted them and said to Ajia: "Long Yuan is willing to buy 5 trillion euros, and it must not be higher. If you think it is unreasonable, I won't take it." ***, do you think we don't know the goods? This price is too exaggerated.

Ashford followed me and said: "As for the price of Longyuan, if you agree, our German Industrial Group will also want it."

Solent followed: "Me too. What do you think? If the transaction is completed, there will be three sets. If the transaction is not completed, there will be none."

Agia looked at Terry: "If you two also plan to buy a set, I can consider it."

Yusina rubbed her temples and said, "We want it."

"Then even if everyone wants it, you can all get 5 trillion euros." Agia agreed with a smile.

I looked at Yusina and Terry. "You two are so happy. You only need to buy one set of everything. The price is reduced by half."

Yusina said tepidly: "We are not as wealthy as Long Yuan. You don't care about this little money, but we are going to bleed with heartache!"

Ajia also joked: "Don't say that! It makes me look like a vampire."

Solent pointed at me at last. "How about just dripping blood now? The head is over there!"

I smiled and looked at Solant: "I believe that the goods from the European Peer Trading Group will not be too inferior, right? Can you introduce it to us now?"

Solante threw out a box similar to the one in Agia, and an image of something that looked like chopsticks appeared in front of everyone. "This is an improved version of the satellite killer system, equipped with an all-weather focusing system. It can accurately hit anywhere in the world."

"Don't Longyuan have similar products?" Ashford asked.

Solent said calmly: "The key is not here, the key is this." A light mask suddenly flashed out of the thing. "Magnetic energy defense field. The output power is 8 million kilowatts. It can deal with any attack except nuclear explosion. How about it? An epoch-making technology!"

"Your stuff isn't cheap, is it?" Yusina asked.

"Forty-five billion euros is much cheaper than that in Algeria."

I shook my head and said, "I think it's much more expensive."

Rose also helped: "A one-time investment in the strategic command system can comprehensively improve combat effectiveness. This protective shield is different. The output of 8 million determines that it cannot become a mobile protection system. An underground base actually does not need this kind of Things. And each one purchased costs 45 billion, and the final price may be higher than the command chain! I don’t know what you think.”

Agia said: "I know this thing has great shortcomings, but it can actually be equipped to mobile units. As long as you adjust the output power and master the reaction time, it can still work if you only activate it when the enemy fires. of."

Ashford said: "The emergency system with the fastest response is Longyuan's bio-radar series. Doesn't that mean that every time I buy one set of this thing, I have to buy another set of bio-radar? That thing doesn't seem to be cheap!"

I reminded: "The current standard bioradar costs 3.5 billion euros per set."

"Haha! What an exaggerated device!" Terry said loudly: "It seems that Solent's stuff is going to be backlogged?"

"Isn't it? You really don't like it? Have we misjudged the market?" Solante began to feel a little unable to sit still. It would be a big problem if no one wants this thing. "You don't need one? There are always places that need special protection!"

I interrupted Solent: "It's not that we don't need it, but after considering the price issue, we think it's not feasible. Your prices are too outrageous. They are all experts, so why should you charge such a price?" I stretched out a finger. . "It has to be reduced by at least one digit, otherwise we won't want a set. Or you are willing to make some limited editions, such as car models, ship models, etc. Otherwise, I guess it will be difficult to sell."

"Limitations are not a problem, the key is how much you are willing to pay."

Ashford said: "The individual soldier model costs 20 million euros per set, the vehicle-mounted set costs 800 million euros, the ship-mounted set costs 2.5 billion euros, and the base version costs 7 billion euros. This is the upper limit we can accept."

"That's bad. The price seems...!"

I held out a finger: "We can add another 500 million for the base. Everything else is settled. If you can't accept it, there's nothing we can do."

"Can I make a call?" Solent seemed really panicked. Their company got the wrong market positioning, which is a big problem.

I extended my hand to signal him to do whatever he wanted, and he immediately picked up the phone and started asking about the situation. After ten minutes he put down the phone. "We accept this price."

"That's good." Ashford reported his order quantity to Solante, and Terry and the others also gave their quantities to Solante. On behalf of Long Yuan, I ordered 10 sets of base type, 70 sets of carrier type, 150 sets of vehicle type, and 3,000 sets of individual soldier type.

Solant's face was not very good when he saw the quantity. The quantity ordered by everyone was too small, and his business was completely ruined this time.

Next it was Ashford's turn. Their thing was a robotic system. The finished product is an octagonal robot, which weighs about 5 tons. It is not small in size and can be operated completely unmanned. It is priced at 1.5 billion euros per unit. We watched the real-life demonstration video. The movements are very flexible, the firepower is good, and the reaction speed is far superior to that of a human-driven tank. The only drawback is that he has low intelligence and obviously always does stupid things. However, Longyuan has a biological computer. Buying this thing and replacing it with a computer should solve the intelligence problem. Everyone likes this new era of robot soldiers, and has placed large orders, especially Americans who are afraid of death. What Terry and Yusina bought together was twice as much as what the other three families in our family bought together.

After Ashford's goods were finished, there were Terry and Yusina. One of their goods was a digital soldier suit and the other was an automatic battlefield reconnaissance device. Originally, everyone wanted to order it, but when they saw that none of me bought it, they curiously asked me why.

I explained: "The Eagle Regiment's digital soldier system is indeed good, Long Yuan's is indeed worse, but the price of our own production is only one-thirty-fifth of theirs. For the same money, we can arm 34 times more soldiers." , even if there is a gap in our system, can 35 people not be able to deal with one person? Besides, equipment is not everything. No matter how good the digital soldier system is, it must be used by good soldiers. Even if an old Baixin uses the digital soldier system, he will not be able to do it. Defeat the special forces with only a dagger."

Everyone nodded in agreement. I continued: "So, we don't want to spend that money to buy those things. It may be worth it for those of you countries where human life is more valuable, but in China, everything is lacking but there is no shortage of people. Every year in China, one person dies in traffic accidents The population of small and medium-sized countries is large, so we don't care too much about the casualty ratio. In addition, there is another point. Our products are also very effective." I took out an injection. "This is an emergency rescue medicine. We call it rejuvenation dew. Although it cannot bring the dead back to life, no matter what kind of trauma, as long as you don't die within 5 minutes after the injection, you will be fine. No matter whether it is internal organ damage or body surface damage. Injury is no problem. How about it? Is it magical?"

Ashford stared at the small brown bottle in my hand. "Is this thing really so powerful?"

"Of course. There's no point in me lying to you! Anyway, you will definitely have to experiment when you really buy it."

Terry took the bottle and looked at it. "Is this the finished product?"

"Yes."

"Why is this thing so coloured?"

"The bottle is brown, not the color of the medicine. This thing is easy to photodecompose and needs to be stored in closed light. In addition, I suggest you not try to buy a few bottles to copy. This thing has a dragon edge. Biological defense mechanism, if you violently analyze its components, I can’t guarantee what will evolve from it.”

"Of course." Terry said with lingering fear: "Last time we analyzed your pet ball, we killed more than 00 people, and there were not that many people killed in the Iraq war! The Eagle Group Biological Laboratory said that it will never accept anything from you again. , that old guy Woerfu was so frightened that he’s still in the mental hospital and hasn’t come out yet!”

Solent asked: "What are you talking about?"

I explained: "Long Yuan gave a synthetic creature to the daughter of the President of the United States in the upper world. The thing's body is a white ball of fur, with a pair of short legs and a pair of short hands, and two more on its head. It has rabbit ears. It has big eyes and is quite cute. It was given by our country as a gift to the president’s daughter to play with. As a result, they found that the little thing had an intelligence close to that of a human and could speak Chinese and English. They thought it had a biological computer. Partial function.”

Ashford continued: "So they just used that little thing for experiments?"

Terry nodded: "But after the little thing was killed, when we used an electronic analyzer to analyze the DNA, its cells suddenly began to divide crazily. A nearby researcher was stuck and was assimilated. That pile of rotten meat It turned into a monster in front of a large group of people, killing more than a dozen security guards and researchers at that time, and it continued to assimilate the corpses to absorb nutrients and ran out of the institute. We mobilized the army, and after more than 00 people were killed, we finally used burning The bomb completely wiped it out.”

I added: "This is the biological defense mechanism. If you try to crack it, these things will start to mutate unstablely, and they will become more and more ferocious. But don't worry, the direction of mutation is limited, and all mutation products only have 7 days." lifespan. But that’s enough to give someone with bad intentions a headache.”

"Then its dead body can still be studied after 7 days?"

"What can you do with research? After mutation, you will no longer be able to find information about the original DNA sequence. At most, you can know the DNA structure of the new monster. There is no use in having such an uncontrollable creature."

Yusina coughed and said, "Can you not talk about this?"

"Oh! Sorry, I apologize." Yusina is actually the daughter of the former president, and that cute little white rabbit-like creature was given to her. I heard that she cried for a week at that time. She had so many tears!

"How do you set the price for this thing?" Ashford asked the key point.

I took out a box and opened it. It was padded with silk and sponge and had three grooves in it. There is a medicine bottle in each of two slots. "Terry, look under that bottle in your hand."

Terry looked at it and said: "There is a symbol here!"

"That's Chinese characters." I took another one out of the box and showed the bottom of the bottle to them. "This one says weak, and the other one says strong. The three types represent different levels of effects. For normal injuries, use weak. For serious injuries, use medium. For extremely serious injuries, use strong. The weak ones cost 100,000 euros each. The winning ones cost 600,000 euros each. As for this powerful one, they cost 1.6 million euros each."

"Is it too expensive?" Solante asked.

"Is it expensive? Is it not expensive? The pension for a fallen soldier is 450,000 euros. How much does it cost to train this guy to become a soldier? It should not be less than 50,000 euros, right? Replenishing soldiers means spending another 50,000 euros. Also, this soldier has been injured, so he has actual combat experience. Which one do you prefer, a veteran or a new soldier? In this way, you have saved 500,000 by resuscitating one soldier. The effect of this guy entering the battle again and zero casualties The public opinion benefit brought by the war is worth about 100,000 euros. In this way, you will spend 600,000 euros less to save each soldier. Based on this ratio, you will not suffer at all!"

Everyone is silent now. They all know how to settle the account, but the price of this 'medicine' is indeed terrifying. If we really go to war, we have to buy at least 100,000 pieces of each item, which is a lot of money. "What do you think?"

"Okay, we want 150,000 pieces of each kind." Yusina was the first to speak, and then everyone started to buy. At least one person purchased 100,000 pieces. This ratio is really satisfying.

After everyone's negotiation is over and the sales cooperation intention is initially determined, our task this time is considered completed. Because the negotiation took a long time, it was already very late now, so everyone said goodbye and went back to rest. Rose and I also stayed here. This was my father's order so that we could receive these guests nearby.

After returning to the room and taking a shower, Rose asked me to lie down with her for a while. I was lying on the bed, with the rose and the bird nestled in my arms. "How dare you shout about the price just now?"

"What did you say?"

"Those 'medicines'!"

"What's going on?"

"The cost of a weak medicine is only 8.00 euros, but you actually charge hundreds of thousands of euros. It's really shameful! The intermediate medicine is only 12 euros and you sell it for 600,000, but the powerful medicine is even more Ridiculous, the cost price is just over 18 euros, how dare you call it 1.6 million!"

"Rong Rong! Although you majored in economics, you are still not ruthless enough! Medicines themselves are huge profits, not to mention what we sell are military medicines. Do you know why the country allows us to sell these things? ?”

"have no idea!"

"Because half of the profits must be handed over to the state. This does not include taxes. Half of the profits are simply a condition for agreeing to this transaction. If I don't shout high, Long Yuan will suffer a big loss. Besides, the sellers are foreigners. , black spots are also normal. The calculation I made for those guys just now is true. They are willing to pay because they can really save a lot of money, otherwise they would not buy it!"

"Anyway, you are a 'profite' businessman. You are the only one who can sell goods worth 8 yuan for 100,000 yuan."

I took out a medicine from the clothes beside the bed and held it in my hand. "What is this? This is life. How much does a human life cost? If you are injured, I am willing to spend 100 trillion to buy your health. The same goes for those soldiers. Who doesn't want to live well?"

"Hmph! I can't beat you!"

"Okay, okay, go to bed quickly! I'm still busy tomorrow! I have to go online tomorrow night to take Lin Yue and the others away from Long Island, and I don't have time to sleep."

"Well, that's it! Okay, good night." Rose pressed a kiss on my face and fell asleep sweetly. It seems that she is really tired. After all, she is an ordinary girl and does not have a body like mine! In the future, I need to think of ways to see if I can help her strengthen her body, at least not too weak.
