Chapter 274 There are chips everywhere!

   "Ah!"

   "Damn... Who is thinking about Lao Tzu?"

  North Fourth Ring Road, front line.

   The sound of gunfire in the distance was sporadic, which made Detway, who was standing on the street, nervous.

   He has a habit of sneezing when he is nervous.

   The situation here is completely different from the Western Front.

  The west line is a ruin of concrete debris, and the scattered buildings here are like trees. Behind every dark shop window, there seems to be a pair of scarlet eyes hidden.

   It can be seen that these hillbillies are dealing with the wave for the first time, and the buildings and streets here obviously do not seem to have experienced the baptism of long-term artillery fire.

  If you can't clear a relatively open area on the ruins, you can only fight with those aliens in buildings and alleys.

  The constant stream of alien species will come like a tide, and it is a miracle that it can hold up.

   Tightening the gas mask hanging on his face, DeWitt took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time.

   It was noon.

   As the elected representative, he will represent all businessmen who are interested in this "emerging market" to the north, and meet the lord here, the manager of Vault 404.

   Accompanying him were two other partners, and a dozen or so bodyguards who sent them here.

   Honestly, it’s not a bad thing.

  If it weren't for the promise of others to let him take the lead, and if it wasn't for the Vijay Firm's monopoly of all the spoils of the Western Front battlefield, Ditwe would never want to be this early bird and come to this savage land to open up the market.

   Outside the giant wall, there are very few people who follow the rules. When doing business with people who have never been in contact with them, they have to tie their heads to the belts of their pants.

   What if the dictator gets upset and cuts himself off?

   This risk may be low, but it is definitely not without.

  Especially the performance of these blue coats always gave him a feeling of dove occupying a magpie's nest.

   Are they really blue coats?

   It must be the people who killed the shelter, grab their coats and wear them.

   Just as he was muttering in his heart, a man in a black military uniform with a rifle on his back walked out from the building next to him.

   Looking at Ditwi, the man said.

   "The manager agrees with you, please come with me."

  Ditway breathed a sigh of relief, and said politely with a friendly smile on his face.

"please."

   After he finished speaking, he winked at the two partners behind him and led them towards the building in front of him.

   The frontline headquarters of these blue jackets is on a certain floor of the building, with good visibility and signal from high places, and the concentration of spore clouds will be lower.

   However, the manager did not meet them at the headquarters, but chose the meeting place in the office area on the 20th floor.

   There are ready-made tables and chairs. Although they are old and covered with dust, they do not affect their use.

   After going up the stairs, the three people who came to the room through the corridor saw the azure blue power armor at a glance, and their faces showed surprised expressions, but they quickly restrained.

  Ditvey took the first step forward, bowed his head slightly, and said in a respectful tone.

"Respected Lord of the Northern Suburbs, administrator of Vault 404, please allow me to introduce myself. I am a businessman from Boulder City, my name is Ditwi. The two behind me are our partners. , Yang He and Tenor."

   "On behalf of the partners present and absent, I offer you the highest respect."

  Chu Guang looked at the three people standing in front of him. Although he already knew their intentions in his heart, he did not take the initiative to clarify them.

   Urgently revealing your own needs is a taboo. It is easier to take the initiative when you wait for the other party to make a bid or reveal your trump card.

   This is his previous life experience.

   "Welcome to the northern suburbs."

   Chu Guang, who unlocked the helmet visor, continued speaking in a relaxed tone with a gentle smile on his face.

   "It's very unfortunate that you came here. We are dealing with the tide. We can only entertain you here. Please forgive me for the poor reception."

   "What's the matter, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk to me!" When he said this, Detwie had a bright smile on his face.

   The manager in front of him is easier to get along with than he imagined.

   And this also gave him a sigh of relief.

   Maybe this transaction will be easier than I thought.

  Chu Guang looked at him and continued.

   "So, friends from afar, why did you come to the northern suburbs? You shouldn't make a special trip from Boulder City to greet me here."

  Diet said respectfully: "Dear Manager, we are here to share your worries."

  Chu Guang looked at him with interest.

   "Oh? Talk about it."

   Seeing that Chu Guang had given him a chance, Ditwi immediately moved out the rhetoric that he had been brewing all the way.

"As you should have seen, the streets outside are full of corpses, and they're rotting and smelling! It's spring now, and within a week they'll become breeding grounds for the plague, attracting rats, cockroaches, and other troubles. ...and in fact, when I got here, it was starting to get worse."

  Chu Guang did not speak, just looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

  Ditvey paused for a moment, then continued in a serious tone.

"This situation is not uncommon on the Western Front, and it can even be said to be the usual trick of the tide... We call it a plague offensive. Even if the militia in Boulder City wins, it will be plagued by the plague and the plague after the war is over. Got devastated."

  Chu Guang looked at him and said, "So you are here to help me solve these troubles?"

  Ditvey said immediately.

   "Of course! The tide is the common enemy of all survivors in Qingquan City, and we can't just watch you get into trouble and sit back and watch."

   "We can provide you with cheap and easy-to-use medicines, and besides... we can also dispose of those corpses on the battlefield for you for free."

   Although the former can make a small profit, not much.

   Behind is the real purpose of Ditway.

   It’s okay to dispose of the dead body for free.

  Chu Guang smiled in his heart, but he did not break him, but looked at the man in front of him with interest.

   "What are you going to do with it?"

   Seeing that the manager in front of him was interested in his proposal, Ditway was overjoyed and continued calmly.

   "We will hire a group of corpse recovery experts from Boulder City, transport the corpse to the Fifth Ring Line, mount it on the back of a two-headed cow, and then transport it to other places for disposal."

  Chu Guang: "Like Boulder City?"

"Uh, of course! Boulder City is a good choice... We'll do a simple job of disposing of the corpse to make it something that can be used... After all, transport teams and corpse recovery experts are not cheap, we have to make a little bit of money A little bit of subsidizing the toll can also save you a little bit of loss.”

  Dittwei didn't really want to reveal the whereabouts of these corpses, especially not wanting the man in front of him to realize that the gnaw's corpses can be sold for money in some places, although they are very cheap.

   But Chu Guang has already pointed out the boulder city, obviously he knows something, if he pretends to be stupid again, he will treat others as stupid.

  Ditwi can only pray in his heart, the manager in front of him doesn't know the specific market situation.

However……

is it possible?

  Chu Guang looked at Ditwee who was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and he couldn't help but secretly laughed twice in his heart.

   Lose a little less?

   If it wasn't for his own people who went to the front line to learn about the market price, he might have been fooled by him.

   "How about that, my friend," Chu Guang shook his head, "How can we let our friends suffer such a big loss? I will find a way to deal with these corpses, so you don't have to worry about it."

  Ditvey became anxious when he heard this, and said quickly.

   "Please don't say that. For the sake of our friendship, we are willing to show some sincerity, and please give us this opportunity."

  Chu Guang said seriously: "But this will make me feel bad. When I feel bad, I can't sleep."

  It’s okay to not sleep well.

   Ditwi almost spit out when he heard this.

   This is too fake!

   Now Ditwee knows it, this guy is clear, these corpses can be exchanged for chips. Otherwise, why he has already offered to dispose of these corpses for them for free, the manager has not let go.

  Ditvey took a deep breath and said slowly.

   "How about 5 chips per ton?"

  Chu Guang said with a smile but not a smile.

   "Well then, it's enough money to help us get rid of these troubles for free. How can we be so embarrassed to ask you to give us more money."

   Sure enough!

   This guy knows it!

  Ditvey's brows twitched violently.

   He can now be sure that the man in front of him not only knows that xenomorph corpses can be sold for money, but he also knows about the market 80% of the time.

   Otherwise, this guy will not acquiesce, the money is paid to them by himself.

   Circles have lost their meaning.

  Ditvey looked up at Chu Guang and said frankly.

"My lord, I admit that we can make a little money by dragging these corpses to Boulder City, but it is hard money. These corpses are not light, whether they are dragged from the battlefield or transported to Boulder City, they have to be Spend a lot of money."

"Five chips per ton is the highest price we can give, and the freight we pay per ton is far more than that. If the purchase price is higher, we will not be profitable at all... I hope you can understand. "

   "Of course I can understand, I just simply can't bear to see you lose money," Chu Guang smiled kindly and looked at him sincerely, "Why don't you do this, I can provide a more sincere proposal here."

  Dittwei faintly felt that something was wrong, but he forced a smile from his face and said bitingly.

   "Please speak."

  Chu Guang continued.

   "You said just now that you have a way to turn the corpse of an alien species into something that can be used. If that's the case, why not just turn it into something useful here in the northern suburbs?"

  Ditvey was stunned.

   "In... the northern suburbs?"

"That's right," Chu Guang nodded and continued with a smile, "We can produce bullets and shells, and naturally we can also produce nutritional pastes and fertilizers. Instead of dragging cumbersome raw materials around, why not directly at the place of origin? Is it turned into a lighter, higher-value commodity and taken away?"

  Ditvey blushed.

  Good guy, this person not only knows that alien corpses can be sold for money, he even knows what these alien corpses can be made of.

   Then I watched myself perform for a long time...

   This sly blue gopher!

  Ditvey lowered his head and coughed softly in embarrassment.

   "...equipment with tens of thousands of chips is too expensive. We also have to consider the risk of opening a factory outside the giant wall."

  Chu Guang nodded slightly.

   "Understand, after all, your understanding of us is still last winter, and it is normal to feel apprehensive."

  Ditvey raised his head with hope in his eyes.

   "Then you mean to agree..."

   "I mean, your lack of understanding of our real situation."

  Chu Guang looked at Xu Shun who was waiting by the side.

   "Take these three friends to visit our industrial area, and stay at the hotel at Changchang Farm for the night, where the air is better."

  Which places are suitable for visiting and which places are not suitable for idle people to wait in, I have already explained to the guards.

   The performance of this little guard has always been quite good, and Chu Guang believes that he knows it well.

   "Good lord!"

   Xu Shun, who was standing by the side, saluted, then looked at Ditwe and his party, and said politely.

   "You three, please come with me."

  Ditvey looked at Chu Guang with a bewildered expression, not knowing which song he was going to sing.

  Visit...industrial area?

   This was a completely unexpected itinerary.

   By the way, there are industrial areas in the northern suburbs?

   How many small workshops can be called industrial zones?

   You can guess what Ditwi is thinking, but Chu Guang did not answer the confusion in his heart.

  Some things are just useless.

   Facts speak louder than words.

   "I don't like wasting time on unproductive arguments, especially at this juncture."

"I'll give you two options, either buy this garbage for 20 chips per ton and drag it to where you want to go, or consider setting up a factory here. Those corpses outside are at your disposal, we won't accept them. For any expenses, you only need to pay taxes legally."

   Looking at Ditwi who was standing there motionless, Chu Guang said gently.

   "Don't rush to make a decision."

   "The answer is the same for me tomorrow."

  …

   For Chu Guang's proposal, Ditwi couldn't think of any reason to reject it.

  Although he doesn’t think that the hillbillies in the northern suburbs can understand what a perfect industrial facility means, let alone build a so-called industrial zone, but if someone is willing to show them a tour for free, a fool would refuse.

   Take a look without spending any money.

   Come anyway.

  I got on the truck at the south side of Huayuan Street subway station and drove along the abandoned road to the intersection of No. 76 Street and Linghu Wetland Park, and the road in front was suddenly smoothed.

   A hint of surprise appeared in Ditwi's eyes.

   But the more unexpected thing is yet to come.

  The truck continued north and stopped near the abandoned tire factory.

  When Ditwi got off the truck with the guard named Xu Shun and stepped into the "North Suburb Industrial Zone", he immediately realized how wrong his previous idea was!

The sound of   dang is incessant, the tall chimneys are puffing clouds, trucks full of goods pass through the park, and workers in overalls are around the door loading and unloading goods.

   is like a clock wound up.

   Everything here is incredibly well organized.

  Three pairs of eyes widened in unison.

  Teno, who was standing beside Ditway, couldn't help swallowing and squeezed half a sentence out of his throat.

"here……"

   "Is it the northern suburbs?"

   The other partner did not speak, but the same surprise was evident in his eyes.

   Compared with the industrial area of ​​Boulder City, this place is undoubtedly much more compact, but if they are still lacking, he really can't tell at a glance.

   "In front is Liszt's factory."

   "Liszt?!" Ditway looked at Xu Shun in surprise, "That guy is here too?"

   Xu Shun looked at him unexpectedly.

"you recognize?"

  Ditvey said with a dry cough.

   "Don't know...but I've heard of it."

   The business district of Boulder City is not very big, and there are only a few famous local businessmen. Of course, he knows a relatively powerful businessman like Liszt.

   Although Liszt may not know him.

   Xu Shun nodded and said nothing more.

   "Except for military factories and factories involving sensitive technology, I can show you all other factories."

   Yang He, who had not spoken for a while, suddenly spoke up.

   "Would you like to show us your power station?"

   Xu Shun nodded.

"no problem."

   Since they have to consider setting up a factory, power supply is undoubtedly one of their top concerns.

   The most feared thing for a stable production line is sudden power failure, especially if it stops for a whole day, if you are unlucky, the products on the entire production line will be given for nothing.

   However, after seeing the power station planned by these people, the three immediately dispelled their concerns in this regard.

   These blue coats do have two brushes.

   Not only did the power station planning make them unable to find faults, but also the transmission and distribution facilities such as substations and power grids made them astonished.

   This is not very advanced technology.

   But being able to plan every wire and every generator set in an orderly manner is not something that just anyone can do.

   glanced at the VM on his arm, Xu Shun cleared his throat and introduced to the surprised three people.

   "Currently, our power supply is mainly thermal power generation. The large forest farms in the Yumu District in the north and the vegetation in the nearby urban areas are enough to supply the power station for more than ten years."

   "In addition, there are biogas digesters and gas-fired power plants under construction, as well as oil-fired power plants for Kamshu."

   "In the future, we will consider improving the existing energy structure through diversified power generation methods."

  Dittwei looked at Xu Shun with a slightly surprised look.

   "You also planted the Kam tree?"

   There must be at least three or four hundred people working in this industrial area.

  Where are so many people in the northern suburbs? !

   Is it a refugee from the north?

  But even if they take all the refugees according to the bill...how to solve the problem of food?

   So many people have to eat!

   "The planned area is 5,000 mu," Xu Shun replied truthfully after glancing at the VM. "Not just kamm trees, we also planted corn and potatoes... and other high-yielding crops."

   "I'll take you to the hotel at Changchang Farm in a while."

   "After you get there, you will naturally see it."

  …

   If the industrial zone in the northern suburbs has already contracted Ditway’s surprise and surprise for the next month, then the situation in Changchang Farm is enough to shock him from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

  The endless fields, the seedlings, the tractors, the two-headed cattle and the refugees working in the fields.

   The degree of mechanization here is not high, but Ditway can feel with the naked eye that these people are pursuing advanced productivity and a better life.

   This was something he had never seen in any other survivor colony.

  Of course, what interests Ditwi the most is the food here.

   The dish that was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue seemed to be called Mapo Tofu, and the stewed pig's trotters with soybeans and beef with potatoes and two heads...

  The taste is simply amazing!

   He was in the food business.

   I have been coveting the food processing business of Weijia Firm for a long time.

But envy is envy. He neither has tens of thousands of acres of farms and thousands of serfs who sweated for him, nor can he afford the expensive land rents, nor does he have the capital to open a family of tens of acres in Boulder City. big factory.

   Everything he needs can be found here.

   That night.

   Living in the hotel of Changchang Farmhouse, Ditwi, who was sleeping on the warm bed, could not sleep, staring at the beer on the bedside table motionless, as if in a daze

   Finally, he made a decision, took out a palm-sized messenger from his bag, dictated a thousand-word message, and sent it to the partners of Boulder City.

   It's not that he never thought about eating alone.

   It doesn't cost much to buy the two small partners who came with him.

  Grit your teeth and borrow some chips from the bank, and it is not too difficult to arrange equipment and personnel alone.

   But he wanted to do something big.

   The opportunities here are far more than just the corpse and nutritional cream. The mere tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of chips can no longer satisfy his appetite.

  To be the largest food supplier in Boulder City and even Qingquan City!

   If he can draw on the strength of these people, he feels that he has this hope.

   He even thought about the name of the firm.

   is called Didiwei Firm!

The    factory is called DiDiwei Grain Processing Factory!

The name    is catchy to pronounce, and it makes people think of him when he hears it, money is earned, and fame is gained.

  Thinking of this, the corners of Ditwi's mouth couldn't help but twitch into a smile.

   "It doesn't sound much better than stupid names like 'tastes good' and 'tastes especially good'!"

   Click.

send!

  Beep twice.

The    "Delivered" popup appears on the messenger screen.

   Waiting for the replies from the partners, Ditwey fiddled with his index finger on the palm-sized screen, and lightly read the information he edited.

[…The situation in the northern suburbs is surprising. The local survivors built power stations, water towers, and a relatively complete logistics system with the assistance of shelter residents. They transported supplies with trucks, repaired abandoned roads with cement, and replaced excess The steel was cast into steel rails and laid on the ground, and new settlements were established in the wilderness, and large tracts of wasteland were reclaimed into farmland...]

  【We must admit that the towering giant walls and ruins blocked our view, and our perception of this place was still a year ago. And in less than half a year, they have achieved what ordinary survivors may not be able to accomplish in ten years. 】

  [My point is that it is possible to make a fortune by transporting the good things here to Boulder, but if they are processed into nutritional pastes and organic fertilizers here, we can make more money. 】

  【There are opportunities everywhere! Chips are everywhere! 】
