Chapter 973 Food trade, an unexpected surprise!
"It goes well. With the protection of the Foundation, this journey is of course extremely smooth."
Opening the armor package, Sumo walked out and stepped up the stairs to Sean side.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
It has only been less than a week. Sean, who was still a little thin and tall, has obviously gained weight, and his face has changed from slightly pale to rosy.
In addition, the moment he got up from the recliner, Sumo could clearly see that Sean's chin had more flesh.
Good guy.
Is it so edible?
Last night I heard that Feng Long came back to report that these people are no longer satisfied with three meals a day, and forcibly use their private money to increase the number of meals to four. Some even have big appetites and even secretly eat their meals in the middle of the night. Take it out and heat it up for a meal.
Looking at it this way, Sean, the caravan boss, is also one of them.
"Friend, it seems that you have indeed made a wise choice. Now maybe we can talk about cooperation?"
The smile on Sean's face grew stronger.
Having stayed for these days, how could he not see the potential of this gathering place.
These delicacies alone, if placed in Blue Star, would be enough to make this place an endless cornucopia.
Of course, the smart Sean will not tell his purpose directly.
As a businessman, he knows how to create demand for the other party, thereby selling worthless things at sky-high prices.
“I wonder what kind of cooperation Sir Sean would like to have?”
Sumo replied with a smile, sincerity on his face.
“Food!”
“Yes, the food here is unforgettable for everyone in our caravan. I fully believe that the food of Tianyuan Shelter can start from this small place, Bring us tens of thousands of wealth”
"Believe me, you only need to be responsible for making it, and don't worry about anything else. We will bring them to all over the world!"
When saying these words, Sean's face was full of piety, as usual. Like when he chose to buy the Red Spider Chariot.
He firmly believes that the chariot can bring benefits to the caravan and bring him more and more wealth.
Now, the food in this small gathering place is the same.
Although its taste is still far behind the exquisite food produced by the top masters in the Holy City.
Especially in the selection of ingredients, the two are completely different.
But there is an important problem.
The cost of this thing is simply terrifyingly low, even to the point of being completely negligible.
You only need to mix some starch extracted from the starch machine into flour, knead it, knead it, and pull it into noodles.
Add some inferior meat extracted from the protein machine and mixed with plant mince.
After a while, this extremely ordinary combination of ingredients was able to achieve the taste of the Holy City's delicacies.
What is the concept?
When Sean calculated the benefits he might get, his head was already in a daze.
The cost may be only 0.5 coupons, but the selling price can be marked as 20 coupons.
Forty times the terrifying profit, any person would be so crazy that it would be difficult to control themselves.
And another advantage of this thing is that it is very easy to transport!
Compared to having to eat it immediately and experience the delicious and time-sensitive food, Sean tested it.
He bought a very ordinary plate of fried wild vegetables and left it at room temperature overnight.
Wait until the next morning to heat it up.
This dish can actually retain more than 95% of its flavor, especially that special taste that has not dissipated at all.
If it can be canned, cryogenic reserves are taken elsewhere for trade.
Not to mention the Red Spider chariot, Sean is even confident that he can upgrade all the chariots in a very short time!
However.
Regarding Sean's passionate emotion, Su Mo's smile did not change, but in his heart he did not believe a single punctuation mark of his nonsense.
Who can’t draw cakes?
As the manager of Tianyuan Territory, he had just made a wish to all the villagers.
I didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, Sean would do something like this.
However
“Thank you, Mr. Sean, for your praise of Tianyuan Shelter’s delicacies. We have also thought about taking these delicacies out to the entire New World and bringing us precious foreign exchange wealth. But you know, we don’t have the extra resources to support the high initial manufacturing costs, not just the production lines and equipment needed to package food, but also the raw materials for making food.”
Sean was obviously stunned after hearing this, and he didn't understand what Somo meant at first.
Production line, is there any difficulty in this thing? It is not difficult to package a can.
As for raw materials, as long as there is energy, this thing is the least valuable thing.
"Mr. Sumo, I don't understand what you mean."
"What you said can be provided by the caravan?!"
He wanted to He directly poached the two people who had been cooking for the past two days, but what surprised him was that these two people were so loyal that he was a little surprised. They behaved as if they had been brainwashed and refused to step out of the gathering place. Half step.
After realizing that he couldn't win over the heavy money, Sean also thought about using force to kidnap him directly.
But in the end, he chose to respect.
Between long-term interests and short-term gains, he is not a short-sighted person, and naturally he will not choose the latter.
Reading the increasing confusion in Sean's eyes, Sumo immediately guessed what he was thinking, so he quickly added:
"That's it, Tianyuan Shelter's We can leave the food sales channel to Mr. Sean and the Red Spider Caravan. We can sign a long-term agreement to ensure the interests of both parties.”
"But regarding manufacturing, we hope to have our own production lines and raw materials, please understand."
Own production lines and materials?
Shaun was stunned for a moment and reacted instantly.
It’s already such an obvious hint.
He is not stupid, of course he knows that Sumo means he wants a starch machine and a protein machine.
If this request were placed on Blue Star, Sean would definitely agree without hesitation. After all, the price of these two machines is not expensive, and the total is only 50,000 coupons at most.
If you go shopping for second-hand goods, you can even buy them with only 20,000 to 30,000 coupons.
After all, it is not as much as the food expenses paid to Tianyuan Shelter these days.
But now the world has changed. The caravan did not dare to trade these two life-saving machines before returning to the foundation headquarters.
So.
"Friend, if you want a starch machine and a protein machine, when we return to the foundation headquarters, we can help you purchase and bring them back next time. This shouldn't take long, at most three months."
People always want benefits and don’t want to pay.
I have a clear understanding of what I have to pay, but I don’t want to take any risks.
Want a free hand?
How is that possible.
Sumo smiled, finally revealing his true purpose.
“I believe that Mr. Sean’s ability can certainly help us bring back the machine we want in three months.”
“But during this time, you have also seen that, This is the time when our gathering place needs development the most.”
“So I want to make a deal with Mr. Sean, can I take out a loan to buy some other things first?”
With this time? In the event of a disaster, it would be difficult for the aborigines in the city to come out and cause damage in a short period of time.
A bumper harvest for the plantations in the territory is just around the corner.
At this time, even if you get a starch machine and a protein machine, it will not have a qualitative change in development.
Therefore, the best choice is to exchange for more special machines recorded on the previous list.
“Loan.”
Shaun did some calculations in his mind, and after weighing the possible expenditure that might lead to heavy bleeding, he could only ask cautiously. "You also saw the list, what do you need?"
“A Red Spider Chariot?”
“What?”
Sean’s face changed drastically, his head shook like a rattle, and he refused continuously:< br>
“This is impossible. None of the caravan’s Red Spider chariots will be sold. This is the basic guarantee for us to travel in the wasteland. And there is no need to go out to your gathering place. Take a day to fight the Red Spider. Bringing the car back will not help at all, it will only cause a headache for its energy needs.”
Refuse so simply?
Su Mo's expression was slightly unhappy, but he was already happy in his heart.
Just now, he was really afraid that Sean would hesitate and reluctantly part with this red spider chariot.
If you ask for something else at that time, it will inevitably make the other party feel a little greedy.
Now is the time, what is important at the negotiation table is the broken window effect
"Is there anything that can quickly improve our productivity? As long as it can help our development." Looking at the depressed Sean, Sumo took the initiative to lower his posture and handed over the power.
Who knows which of the things on that list are useful and which are useless.
If Sean gives you a bad one, you can find an excuse to return it and replace it with another one after testing.
If you choose, you can only break your teeth and swallow it.
"Productivity"
Sean pondered for a moment: "If I were you, I would give priority to a high-quality melting furnace. I have seen the tools you produce, and they are very basic in refining raw materials. If the quality of material production can be improved, it will It will greatly improve the durability and strength of the tool.”
“Or choose a construction cement foam machine, which can help you quickly build a durable house in the wilderness, far better than these thin iron ones. Much higher strength ”
Smelting furnace, construction cement foam machine?
Hearing these two unfamiliar terms, Sumo secretly clenched his fists and felt very excited.
The bet was right.
Sean indeed had a lot of good stuff hidden in that list, and these two machines were not even listed on the list.
"Can I see their functions in detail?"
"Of course."
Shaun nodded, thought for a moment, and motioned for Sumo to follow. Come in yourself.
If it was a previous relationship, it would be risky to allow strangers to enter the caravan.
But before the benefits he was about to get, he couldn't help but let down a lot of his vigilance.
Furthermore, every move of the other party is right under your nose, so it is impossible for him to do anything outrageous.
Entering the interior of the chariot from the side door, Sumo's eyes lit up when he looked at the dust-free interior cabin and various equipment.
This old boy really has a lot of good things in his hands.
Most of the space inside the entire tank is filled with strange and unknown equipment, filled with a strong sense of technology.
Come to the right side of the chariot.
Pointing to a slightly shabby-looking round furnace in the corner, Sean coughed lightly:
“This is a dissolving furnace that can automatically generate energy based on the ingredients of the metal put into it. The corresponding deconstruction liquid. "
"Soaking the metal in the deconstruction liquid before smelting can greatly speed up the process of removing impurities. "
I have already become aware of the black technology in the hands of Blue Star people. Prepare.
After hearing Sean's introduction, Su Mo was slightly shocked, but his expression remained as usual.
“We really need this thing to improve the quality of materials, but I also want to see another piece of equipment.”
“No problem.”
Shaun again Walk forward and stop in front of a long machine.
In terms of appearance, this construction cement foam machine looks a bit strange. It looks like an enlarged version of the Kabuda Transformer.
A rectangular gap is hollowed out in the middle of the square device.
The larger part on the left side of the gap is marked S, and the smaller part on the right side is marked R.
In the upper left corner, there is a nozzle that can be connected to the nozzle placed on the ground.
"It's hard to tell the purpose of this thing just by introducing it to death. How about this, I'll have someone carry it out to show you the effect."
Shawn waved his hand and immediately got two motivations. The armored guards stepped forward.
With a push of their hands, the heavy-looking construction cement foam machine was lifted up and carried all the way to the open space outside.
“R is the raw material, what is needed is some very common things, you don’t have to worry about finding them.”
“S is the output foam, there is a residual scale line here.”
Picking up the nozzle, Sean pressed the button.
Huh.
A stream of navy blue sludge flew out from inside and gathered in the open space in front, leaving a small pile.
The texture of the mud is very soft and elastic, and it is still shaking slightly when it falls on the ground.
“The cement foam is very soft at first, and we can quickly shape it into the desired shape.”
Stepping forward, Sean put his hands in the mud and tinkered. .
About three minutes later, he erected a crooked wall that looked like it might collapse at any time.
"The drying time of the foam is one hour and will be affected by air humidity and light, but it is not a big problem."
"Just make sure it will not collapse."
"Best The best way to use it is to make a rough frame first, and then use it to fill the gaps."
"In addition, using high-power infrared light can also speed up the drying speed."
Sean coughed, and a guard hurriedly stepped forward to straighten the crooked wall and put two fixed plastic tubes on it.
Then he took out a spotlight as big as a human head from the tank and irradiated it.
In less than five minutes, a crisp crunching sound erupted.
Sumo stepped forward curiously and touched it.
The silt that seemed soft before turned out to be surprisingly hard and felt like real cement concrete.
“It’s much stronger than you think. Go and test it with our friends.”
Sean seems very confident about his products.
Sure enough, the two power armor guards stepped forward and punched continuously, even if they made a rumbling sound.
This unsupported cement wall only shook and showed no signs of collapse.
“What a good thing!”
Observe the effect clearly.
Sumo was overjoyed, and several different uses flashed in his mind.
Previously, he was worried about how to reduce the cost of ground construction, but now this cement foam machine is simply an artifact.
Not only can it increase the speed of construction, but it can also significantly reduce losses caused by natural disasters.
For the Red Spider caravan that needs to be constantly moving, this thing can have very limited effect.
But for territories that need to be defended, this thing is perfect for building defensive facilities.
What an unexpected surprise!
