Chapter 319 Purchasing Arms

In the end, the transfer price of the military factory was suppressed by Jiang Chen to 600,000 subcrystals.

Eight hundred and seventy thousand? Do you think your military factory is stable and profitable? Power armor is something that most people can't afford, and the market itself is very narrow. What's more, with the establishment of the Bank of the Sixth Street, the wealth brought by the last two expeditions completely ignited the fire of the industry in the Sixth Street. Large and small workshops and even military factories have sprung up like mushrooms, and there are profiteering food products. If the business is not done to expand the military factory, it is purely a problem with the money bag.

After arguing with Jiang Chen for a while, Zhao Chenwu happily accepted the price. He was quite satisfied that he could sell 600,000 subcrystals. With the activity funds of 600,000 sub-crystals, he will further expand the scale of the caravan and take the business to farther places.

But Jiang Chen is different. Compared with Kia Jing, he, the marshal of the military government, needs to consider military issues more.

"By the way, how is the development of the T-4 power armor going?"

Speaking of research and development, Zhao Chenwu had a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

"Some technical problems have not been resolved yet. The main problem is the engine problem. The two mercenary groups I entrusted have not made any progress in recycling related technologies..."

"Then the R&D team should also be transferred to me." Jiang Chen said directly.

It just so happens that the 027 Vault has just been incorporated, and the problems that Zhao Chenwu cannot solve may not be a problem at all in front of the scientists of the Vault who have inherited a large amount of pre-war technology.

Zhao Chenwu nodded, "Okay, the scientific research team was originally a part of the military factory. But to be honest, research and development of this thing is a bottomless pit. Except for the brittle armor, the T-3 power armor is inferior in mobility and firepower. Very good, not much room for improvement..."

"It's not a little bit brittle, it's too brittle." Jiang Chen shook his head, "Except for the chest armor, the other parts of the armor will break if scratched twice."

heard the words. Zhao Chenwu smiled wryly, "You can't compare it with Deathclaw. Defense is not the strong point of airborne power armor. If Deathclaw sticks to your body, even land-based power armor will be troublesome."

"Land combat-type power armor? That's right. Speaking of which, is there a military factory that produces land-combat power armor in the sixth block?"

Zhao Chenwu shook his head, "No, or it's not necessary."

"No need?" Jiang Chen asked slightly surprised.

"Compared to the bulky land combat power armor,

The airborne type with high maneuverability and short-distance flight is obviously more suitable for exploring the wasteland. For example. If surrounded by a group of zombies, the airborne type can at least fly out with the vortex engine behind it, while the land combat type can only be squeezed to death there alive. " Zhao Chenwu patiently explained to Jiang Chen.

The claws and teeth of the zombies can't break the steel of the power armor, but it's no problem to squeeze the power armor flat with thousands of them.

So, after all, it's a matter of practicality...

The tea on the table has gone cold.

Seeing Jiang Chen's thoughtful expression, Zhao Chenwu took a sip from his teacup and motioned Su Lei to pour hot tea.

"Don't bother, it's getting late." Jiang Chen glanced at the electronic watch on the wall, smiled and stood up.

Zhao Chenwu also stood up and asked with a smile.

"Are you ready to go? I'll take you down."

"Oh. By the way, there is something else... I still need a batch of arms. Do you know any arms dealers who can introduce me? It is best to have ready-made ones."

Zhao Chenwu was stunned, "What type of munitions?"

"Anti-armor weapons, thermal grenades, and sniper rifles, the bigger the better."

"Haha, then you have found the right person!" Zhao Chenwu was overjoyed, "It just so happened that an old guy from Suzhou came to me in the past two days and asked me if I was interested in eating a batch of munitions. But now I have Not in that business anymore. He's wondering what to do with the shipment. I'll get you in touch with him right now if you're interested."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Jiang Chen smiled, "Just take me to him directly, I want to solve this matter as soon as possible."

Zhao Chenwu and Su Lei gave some instructions. Ask her to contact the merchant from Suzhou City.

Then he went downstairs with Jiang Chen, and drove straight to the industrial area in the sixth street.

Not long after, the car stopped in front of a warehouse.

A wrinkled middle-aged man stood at the door of the warehouse. Judging from the unburned cigarettes, he should have just arrived. After seeing Zhao Chenwu's car, his eyes lit up obviously. He snuffed out the cigarette and stuffed it back into his pocket, clapped his hands and walked towards the two people who had just got out of the car.

"Hey, Boss Zhao, I heard that you are interested in my products?" The wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, and the man grinned, showing his sallow front teeth.

"It's not that I'm interested, it's this big shot." As he spoke, Zhao Chenwu looked at Jiang Chen and casually introduced him, "Jiang Chen, the marshal of the military government in the Sixth Street District."

"It turned out to be Marshal Jiang? It's a pleasure to meet you." The man showed obvious surprise on his face, and hurriedly extended his hand to shake Jiang Chen, while introducing himself, "My humble Hu Youde, a businessman from Suzhou City , I have long admired the name of Boss Jiang."

Fudge? What a good name.

"You know me?" Jiang Chen asked slightly surprised as he let go of his hand.

"Hey, Boss Jiang was joking. How many businessmen who often go to this area don't know you?" Hu Youde rubbed his dirty nose and laughed.

"Since you recognize it, then I think you should understand who can't be fooled." Zhao Chenwu looked at Hu Youde with a half-smile and said.

"Ahem, of course, I wouldn't dare to fool Boss Jiang if I had a hundred guts. But with Boss Jiang's reputation, he shouldn't be able to do things like credit, right?" Hu Youde rolled his cloudy eyes. Turn, said tentatively.

Now that the Sixth Street District is not ruled by the Council of Ten, dealing with dictators somewhat worries these powerless businessmen. If Jiang Chen swallowed his goods and didn't pay for it, then he really has nothing to reason with.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen laughed out loud and waved his hands.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely impossible for me to take things without paying for them. Just take me to see the goods."

After receiving Jiang Chen's promise, Hu Youde immediately laughed cheerfully and bowed exaggeratedly.

"Then thank you, Marshal Jiang. I'll take you to see the goods."

With that said, Hu Youde turned around and walked towards the warehouse first.

"Do you need me to accompany you to see the goods?" Zhao Chenwu looked at Jiang Chen and asked.

"No, I'll just go and see for myself."

"Okay, I'll go back first... By the way, this guy is very cunning, don't be tricked by him. Don't be fooled by him when bargaining. He's already here for this batch of goods. After stopping for almost half a month, he has to sell even if he loses money."

Hearing Zhao Chenwu's words, Jiang Chen showed a somewhat puzzled expression.

"Is it difficult to sell ammunition here?"

Hearing this, Zhao Chenwu shook his head.

"The market is already saturated, and there are only so many people. And with the continuous emergence of factories and small workshops, I'm afraid this kind of saturation will become the norm. Not to mention businessmen from Suzhou City, even the local military factories in the Sixth Street District. You have to start worrying about sales ... three months ago, it was unimaginable."

At that time, there was a surplus of sub-crystals in everyone's hands, and the rise in living standards also rekindled the survivors' desire to hunt sub-crystals. Ever since, those mercenary groups and lone travelers who were eager to change their equipment even formed a long line at the gate of the military factory. Arms dealers who are not worried about sales are naturally racking their brains to add production lines and expand production.

But everyone only has two hands after all, and weapons and equipment are not so easy to damage. When this "big change" trend passes, those overproduced weapons will naturally be piled up in the warehouse and cannot be sold.

Overcapacity, that's a real problem.

If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that after a short period of prosperity, those emerging factories and small workshops will fall into the predicament of closing down again. It's not just the arms industry. With the gradual increase in production capacity in the Sixth Street District, similar problems will appear in other industries sooner or later.

Looking at the ragged back, Jiang Chen couldn't help showing a thoughtful expression on his face. (To be continued.)
