This game is too real.
Chapter 535
Chapter 535
"Dear listeners and friends, I am your dearest Mr. House! It finally snowed today, praise the first snow of this year, don't you think it looks like a dancing girl? Although this year is a warm winter, you can enjoy the snow Don’t forget to wear more clothes when you are in the audience, and sincerely wish the audience and friends good health.”
"In addition, for the sake of everyone's health and keeping away from diabetes and obesity, Weijia Commercial's Haowei Food Processing Factory has enriched the product range and launched an additional nutritional cream that is healthier, more nutritious, and better in taste. You will soon Saw it on the shelf—”
The glib voice of the drake passed through the sparse crowds, echoed repeatedly on the street, and blew from the bustling neighborhood to the dilapidated, messy and crowded alleys.
Sberg closed the repaired wooden window to prevent the windy and snowy voice from leaking in, then took a breath, rubbed his frozen hands, and took out a warm letter from his arms.
These days, he would wander around the Alliance embassy every day.
Although I didn't have much hope at first, I didn't expect that "Daily Survivor" really wrote back to him!
Pulling out the white letter paper from a clean and tidy envelope, a chip slid out immediately, and fell on the table with a clang, startling Sberg.
Especially when he saw the face value of the 100, his eyes almost popped out.
One hundred chips!
He worked hard on the assembly line, and only 120 chips a month!
This month is still an IOU!
The Alliance newspaper is so generous!
Carefully hiding the chips in the drawer of the wooden table, Sberg swallowed excitedly, and impatiently unfolded the white letter paper.
The neat handwriting on the letter was completely different from his crooked words.
Skipping the content of the text, Sberg quickly glanced at the name of the signing office, and found that the person who wrote the letter turned out to be the editor-in-chief of "Survivor Daily"!
In an instant, his face was flushed and his breathing became short of breath.
【Dear Mr. Sberg, we have read Ni's manuscript, and tried to recover the unfinished manuscript. We agree that this is indeed a wonderful story.It was broken at the right place, and you connected it just right, which is something the original author never imagined... He actually didn't know how to write it down, but you figured it out for him. 】
[Considering the issue of space, we plan to follow your example and add some sub-issues to the "Daily Survivor", and publish Pohl's story in the "Worker's Daily".And I think that's a really brilliant idea to get people to see more of what's happening that they care about.However, considering that our readers have not read the previous article, we plan to use [-] issues to serialize the first [-] chapters, and then publish the collection and update the follow-up part you wrote. 】
【We regret that the former author of Boll's story has gone to the province of sunset. He supports your continuation, but he doesn't want to recall the past of Boulder City.Fortunately, Miss Dolly, who used to be a reporter for the Boulder Survivor Daily, is willing to serve as the editor of the book. You can communicate with her for the follow-up manuscript. 】
[The 100 chips attached to the letter are part of the advance payment for the manuscript. Logically speaking, we should pay you after the publication with reference to the sales volume and readers’ opinions, but we agree that it would be better to pay some money in advance, so that you can We won't have to write stories in old newspapers, and our collaboration will be more efficient. 】
【...By the way, our manager appreciates your work very much. He is very happy to say that if you come to Dawn City if you have time, please come and visit him. He can let you try on the power armor for your convenience. How to beat it hard, if it helps your writing. 】
Sberg blushed.
Great Horned Deer God, he never thought of defeating the alliance's power armor, let alone plotting against the managers!
What's more, this is also the story of Boulder City. There is no alliance in the book at all, and there are only a few vague mentions of the survivors in the northern suburbs.
but……
That generous invitation made his eyes heat up, and his eye sockets became red again and again.
He knew himself very well, he was undoubtedly an inconspicuous little man, even Kent, who was working on an assembly line, dared to spit at him unscrupulously.
However, the man who even the President of Malvern had to take seriously read his words carefully, and even invited him to be a guest...
He is a coward who is afraid of death and pain. If he can live, he will never take a step out of Boulder City, let alone look directly at any wasteland.
But if it's that man...
He was even willing to die for him!
Hastily fetching an old newspaper, Sberg tore off the margins, picked up a pen that frequently ran out of ink, and wrote seriously on it.
"The title is a misunderstanding! It's just because everyone in the Workers' Association is very curious about how the Awakened can defeat the power armor, so I simply wrote it as a gimmick in the title. In the final battle I imagined, it will Worn on an evil commander...no offense to any of you!"
"Thank you and that gentleman for your kindness and kindness, but I still have to read Ball's follow-up to everyone in the trade union. But when this winter is over, I will definitely save some travel expenses and go to your place ..."
When writing this, Sberg paused for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, and added a line later.
"...In addition, can you send a copy of your workers' newspaper in the reply letter? The fee will be deducted from my next payment. Everyone in the workers' union also wants to review the previous stories. The old newspapers we sorted out are I really can’t get enough of them together, and recently workers from other factories have joined us, and I want to read to them about what’s happening in the wasteland.”
He carefully folded the note, stuffed it into the safest pocket of his clothes, then pushed away the chair and quickly ran out the door.
But not long after, he ran back from the outside as if he had forgotten something, picked up the letter on the table and stuffed it into his pocket.
He intends to give this letter back to everyone in the Workers Association.
There are still people in this wasteland who care about them!
Thinking of this, Sberg felt a burst of warmth in his heart.
Maybe this winter won't be too cold...
……
Just as Sberg hurriedly left the leaky broken house and rushed towards the Alliance embassy, a merchant from the Alliance passed him by and went in the opposite direction to his usual work place.
To be precise, it is the next door to Haowei Food Processing Factory - Lida Wuxian Iron and Steel Factory.
This steel factory is somewhat famous in Boulder City, but the owner's name is very popular, Fred.In order to make himself look less plain, he always wears a tall top hat and a gold-rimmed monocle on the bridge of his nose, although he hardly reads and is not nearsighted at all.
On weekdays, he would not stand at the gate of his factory, as the dirty things coming out of the chimney would stain his leather shoes. His office is on a street a little closer to the inner city, where the streets are more tidy and people’s Conversation is also more decent.
But today is an exception.
His dusty machines were spotted by distinguished guests from the Alliance.
Not to mention the dust on the shoes, as long as the equipment worth tens of millions of chips can be sold, even if he is allowed to lick that distinguished guest's shoes.
"Haha, welcome! Friends from the Alliance." Seeing the distinguished guests appearing at the door, Fred's face was full of smiles.
Sun Shiqi stepped forward, shook his hand vigorously, and said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you!"
The alliance is going to build a batch of apartment buildings using reinforced concrete prefabricated panels recently, and it is said that they can quickly build a building like building blocks.
A batch of iron houses had been produced in Liming City before, but that kind of prefabricated houses were only suitable for summer, and they might be used as freezers in cold winter.
He wasn't interested in what the league built those houses for, but he was still quite interested in the lucrative project money.
In particular, the alliance's series of financial plans allowed him to see an extremely broad market prospect.
So he planned to increase the output of the iron and steel plant. He happened to hear that the boss in Boulder City was selling equipment, so he came to have a look.
Fred patted his arm enthusiastically and made a gesture of invitation, like treating an old friend he hasn't seen for many years.
"...me too, nice to meet you! Haha, to be honest, I like making friends with people from the alliance the most, and it's always a pleasure to do business with you... But it's gray here, let's go in and talk about it. "
Sun Shiqi smiled and nodded.
"You're welcome, take me to the factory first... I want to visit your equipment, so that I can give a reasonable quotation."
"No problem!" Fred nodded happily, and led him to the largest and only working building in the steel plant.
Sun Shiqi was quietly observing along the way.
The iron and steel factory named Li Da Wu Wu is indeed very large in scale, and its architecture is also very elegant, forming a stark contrast with the dirty and dilapidated residential area next door.
The tall chimneys almost passed through the top of the huge wall, blowing a large amount of haze beyond the huge wall, slowly blending into the wriggling gray-green spore cloud inside the second ring road.The wide factory building is like a giant's house. It uses a big and generous hand to block the chaotic overlooking. The towering furnace and hot molten iron make Sun Shiqi unable to move his eyes.
He felt like a mouse that had never seen the world, accidentally fell into the giant's kitchen.
Whether it's those skilled workers, or those giant machines with superb craftsmanship, even the wrenches and files that were randomly thrown in wooden boxes and covered with pulp, they are all priceless treasures in his eyes.
Are those noble gentlemen pigs?
They have the heart to starve those who least deserve to be hungry.
But when he thought that he would soon become the owner of this place, at least part of the equipment, Sun Shiqi couldn't help breathing quickly.
Praise the noble lord!
The crystallization of the sweat and wisdom of countless generations of survivors, now only sells 5000 million chips!
And the price can also be negotiated!
Of course he can't afford 5000 million chips, but as long as he uses his factory in the alliance as collateral and has a written transaction contract, the bank of the alliance can lend him the acquisition money... and the most ironic thing is that this money In fact, the nobles of Boulder City lent it to the alliance at an interest rate of less than 5%.
Without writing that greedy gaze on his face, Sun Shiqi simply nodded.
"It's not bad...it's just too hot, let's go out for a walk."
Fred said politely.
"No problem! In fact, if you didn't want to see it, I wouldn't even bring you here... This is not the place for us people to come."
As he said that, he led the boss out, while introducing the business of his own steel factory with eloquence, describing the broad prospects of the industry that he himself did not believe.
It was only at this time that Sun Shiqi knew that this Lidawu Steel Factory was actually one of the suppliers of Jushi Military Industry!
Before the alliance's expedition began, this steel factory mainly supplied the steel bulletproof lining of the exoskeleton and the structural components of some large equipment for the giant stone military industry.
And after the alliance's war machine was launched, his number one customer became the alliance's construction company, earning a lot of money by exporting rebar.
It stands to reason that the alliance has approved a series of infrastructure plans, and his business should be more prosperous, but the situation is completely opposite.
The alliance's infrastructure plan was formulated to help the alliance's steel industry transform from military industry to civilian use. The new infrastructure plan clearly stated in the bidding that priority should be given to enterprises using local building materials when the cost difference is not large.
In fact, even without this regulation, it would be very difficult for Lida Infinity Iron and Steel Works to participate.
And there is no other reason, just the word cost!
They no longer have a cost advantage due to rising inflation!
Union Bank is very cunning, they refuse to touch the obviously outdated exchange rate, insisting that 2 silver coins are exchanged for 0.5 chip that is "actually only worth 0.2~1 silver coins".
Of course they have the right to decide how much silver coins they sell for their chips, but this exchange rate is obviously an act of deceiving fools, and as we all know, it is immoral to bully fools.
To put it bluntly, because the cost of industrial products priced with chips was lower, and the exchange rate inversion was not so obvious, most of the things that the alliance could not produce would be imported from Boulder City.
But now, due to the rise in the price of raw materials priced with bargaining chips, the prices of industrial products in Boulder City have to inflate accordingly, so the profits from imports have gradually been diluted.
If the thing produced in Boulder City is a key part that the alliance cannot produce, then the alliance is undoubtedly digging its own grave.
But sadly at least the rebar used to hold the cement isn't that kind of thing.
In the past, the steel production capacity of the alliance was used on the armor and tracks of the tanks. Now that the battle is over, those people have freed up their hands.
Naturally, this account has to be recalculated...
Taking Sun Shiqi outside, Fred respectfully took out a cigarette and lit it for him, then looked at the bustling factory area and said.
"The economy here has picked up recently, and life is getting better and better."
Sun Shiqi casually picked up his words and said.
"How do you tell?"
"Business is the best indicator," Fred continued, smiling, "as long as those slackers are busy, life will be better."
"Busy but poor, this is actually not a good sign." Sun Shiqi squinted his eyes, looked at the poor ghosts soaked in the smoke, and rarely said a word of conscience, "I don't think they have much oil and water."
"Because there is no oil and water, they will work harder," Fred said with a smile, standing shoulder to shoulder with the boss from the league, "and you can't always stare at those poor people." Ghosts, you can only feel the prosperity of this settlement when you walk on the street at night."
"Like the street from the Queen of the Night bar?"
"It's not just there," Fred twirled in the air with a cigarette butt, "the circle around the inner city is... My friend, you can't just wander around the industrial area at night, right? There is only A poor man who picks up cigarette butts, and a madman who drinks bad wine."
Even if he brought bodyguards, he didn't dare to go into the alley, God knows what's dirty in it.
Sun Shiqi gave him a strange look.
"But since it's about to recover, why are you in such a hurry to get rid of it?"
Fred coughed and laughed.
"It's not easy to set up a factory here. I used to be able to earn some money, but now... isn't there an easier and better way?"
"for example?"
"Whether it's bonds or S coins, there are too many good things to invest in, and they won't get your shoes dirty," Fred said with a smile. "There are even more opportunities to make a fortune here than people!"
There is a sentence he didn't tell the customer.
The reason why he reduced the weight of assets is not only because there are better investment channels, but also a series of reasons including rising raw material prices.
He can't see the overall situation of the alliance, but it is obvious that iron ore and copper ore, which are priced with chips, are getting more and more expensive.Instead of processing it into finished products, it is better to store it in the warehouse and sell it to other idiots who set up factories next month.
But now there are too many smart ones, and there are not enough stupid ones. More and more people find that this "BUG" can be stuck.
Recently, he even heard that even Wei Jia, a guy who sells food, has a warehouse of copper ore... What does this guy want to do?
Fred vaguely felt that something was wrong. Although he couldn't see what went wrong, he suddenly found that he couldn't find anyone who lost money in the big casino in Boulder City.
This is the most terrible.
So he immediately decided to settle down.
You guys play, grandpa doesn't play anymore!
Just when Fred was thinking about it, Sun Shiqi also had mixed feelings in his heart.
It wasn't the first time he came to this place. When he was doing business in Honghe Town, the grocery market in Boulder City was the place he visited most often.
To say that it is depressed would be to underestimate this place.
Most of the survivor settlements on the wasteland have only two or three hundred households, which is the result of a large number of high-tech products left before the war.
It is self-evident what it means to have a permanent population of 50 in the wasteland.
In particular, Boulder City does not have a piece of farmland or a mine, and all raw materials are obtained entirely through trade.
Its industrialization rate and industrial profits are actually quite astonishing.
It's just that there are no competitors and there is no motivation for industrial upgrading, which leads to some weird situations here.
For example, a nutrient cream processing factory obviously uses the most advanced filters equipped with polymer ultrafiltration membranes, but the assembly line in the assembly process relies on manpower.
Sun Shiqi didn't know what these people were thinking, but it was probably the same as they didn't understand themselves—why they had to choose the most stupid one when there was a cheaper way.
However, now he has a little understanding of the manager who once made him feel scared.
Some costs are invisible.
This is like a war without gunpowder.
If the alliance takes a critical step wrong in a certain link, maybe the one with a flattering smile and selling the means of production in his hand is himself.
he knows.
In essence, I and this Mr. Fred are actually the same kind of people.After all, when the Alliance was shorting the copper mine, he abandoned Honghe Town without hesitation.
"...5000 million chips is a reasonable price. If you are satisfied, we can sign the contract in two days, and I will be responsible for arranging people to transport the things away."
Although it might be cheaper to wait, Sun Shiqi worried that other companies in the alliance would be eyeing this high-quality asset just like himself.
Upon hearing this, Fred immediately made a decision.
"No problem! Boss Sun is a straightforward person... However, I have recently taken a fancy to an investment project in Dawn City. Can part of the money be paid with silver coins?"
Unexpectedly, Sun Shiqi was slightly stunned for the second half of his sentence, put away the smile he just showed, and asked with a frown.
"What's the meaning."
"Hey, it's literally," Fred pulled the big-spending boss aside, lowered his voice, and said slowly, "For example, on the book...you give me 4000 million chips. This price is a bit cheaper, but It is definitely not a cheap sale. And the remaining 1000 million chips, converted into 1000 million silver coins, you can transfer to my account in the alliance or give me cash!"
Upon hearing this sentence, Sun Shiqi suddenly came back to his senses, and looked at Fred twice in surprise.
Good guy.
Is this trying to cheat your own shareholders? !
As a law-abiding citizen of the alliance, he is of course not interested in complaining for the shareholders of Boulder City, but the proposal of exchanging 1000 million chips for 1000 million silver coins made him frown.
"1000 million chips are not worth 1000 million silver coins. I can't accept this offer."
Far from being in a hurry, Fred was delighted.
What is unacceptable is just the offer.
In other words, this matter can be discussed!
He immediately made a flattering smile and said courteously.
"It's okay, we can talk... How much can you accept?"
Sun Shiqi raised an index finger.
"100."
"100 million?!" Fred's eyes widened, and he almost lost control of his voice, "No! It's too little! Your official exchange rate is 1:2, so I'll give you a 1:1 discount. !"
Seeing this guy's poor acting skills, Sun Shiqi coughed lightly.
"Don't pretend to be stupid, that thing... Do you believe it yourself?"
Fred blushed, gritted his teeth, and gestured with five fingers.
“五……500万,不!300万!200万银币如何?不能再少了!就算黑市,顶天了也就1:5!”
This is true.
Looking at the remaining two fingers and the bitter melon-like face, Sun Shiqi finally couldn't resist the temptation and nodded slowly.
"Row."
After all, he didn't want to make his company's debt too high, and borrowing money from Union Bank was not without cost.
It's just that the 200 million silver coins can't be transferred to the public account, they have to be withdrawn from their own savings, and they can't borrow from the bank, which still makes Sun Shiqi feel a little heartbroken.
The purchasing power of silver coins is much stronger than chips!
Seeing the boss from the alliance nod, Fred finally showed a happy smile on his face, and immediately stretched out his hand to hook his shoulder.
"Thank you for your understanding! We may have a lot of opportunities to cooperate in the future... Let's have dinner together at night. I heard that the nightlife in the alliance only includes beer and fireworks."
"In fact, we don't set off fireworks every day, and it's not just beer." Sun Shiqi retorted subconsciously.
He regarded himself as a member of the alliance a long time ago, and naturally he did not allow others to arrange them indiscriminately.
"I know, but you definitely don't have that," Fred smiled, and gave him a look that any man could understand, "In the Queen of the Night bar, most people can only stand under the stage to watch, but as long as there is a bargaining chip , you can invite the dancer into the box and perform only for you. I just have a black card here, which can take you into the VIP box that ordinary rich people can't get in. You can never imagine the fun inside. "
Sun Shiqi instantly understood what he meant, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.
"Is it really just a show?"
Seeing the customer's interested expression, Fred laughed and said.
"Of course! And there are so many shows! You're the boss from the league, and the girls there will love you! If you tip with silver coins, they will love you to death!"
Sun Shiqi teased.
"I thought they'd call me a redneck."
Fred waved his hand.
"That was a long time ago. There are only things you can't think of here, and there is nothing you can't buy."
Sun Shiqi wanted to refuse.
But the legs wouldn't listen to him.
He admitted that he was a vulgar person unlike those residents of the refuge, so he probably would never become a refuge resident in his life, and it was no wonder that reserved girl never opened her heart to him.
It would be nice if the league could be a little more liberal.
It's best to be as free as Boulder City, as long as you have chips, you can do whatever you want.
But presumably Vault 404 would not agree, and their managers would definitely not agree either.
After all, that person said categorically that all goods can be purchased with the currency of the alliance, but honor and dignity are never allowed to be traded in any currency.
but……
That's actually not bad.
No matter how playful people are, they will not like to bring bad things home.The wasteland is so big, it's too easy to find a shithole.
Seeing Fred's flattering smile, Sun Shiqi couldn't help but twitch a smile.
Since this master has kindly invited you.
Then before this giant whale falls into the bottom of the sea, enjoy its fat flesh and blood...
……
It is not just the Lida Wuxian Iron and Steel Plant that is being "promoted". The first batch of chips-denominated bonds issued by the alliance reached a scale of 30 billion, and then the sales channel of the Boulder City Bank was opened up.
The bubbles squeezed out by financial tools are like a collapsing torrent, rushing towards the factory owners in Boulder City.
This is a "wave" more terrifying than a wave.
High-quality production materials are labeled with bad labels, and the things that were originally delicious have become shit that people can't avoid—because there are more delicious things in front of everyone, but the bitterness after sweetness is not. Not so easy to detect.
In this feast in the name of prosperity, some people cried, while others laughed wildly... For example, Sid, there is no doubt that it is the latter.
He can be said to be the biggest winner of this game. He cashed out early with his chips and left the field. Naturally, he was the one with the happiest smile.
It's just that when he saw the trading price of bonds in the secondary market rising all the way, his smiling face gradually collapsed.
Staring at the palm-sized transaction device, Sid bit his thumbnail and suddenly cursed.
"Tsk... Weijia's dog is cheap!"
Seeing her husband's displeased face, Bonnie sat beside him, looked at him with concern and asked.
"What's the matter dear... is something wrong?"
"It's nothing, my dear." Sid gave his wife a gentle smile, and Sid's face regained its former elegance. Give me another 2000 million."
Although she had no idea about money, Bonnie couldn't help scolding him.
"You... you have to let that Wei Jia earn some money, otherwise how can he work hard to help our family make money? Don't ask him for the 2000 million. It's shameful to ask for money."
"You're right, my dear... I'm greedy." Sid rolled his eyes, thinking that his wife was right.
He almost forgot the ancestral teachings.
A greedy hyena will choke to death on the bone, and a win-win deal will last forever.After the owner finished eating the meat, he had to give the dog a bone.
Wei Jia is an old dog, and he deserves to make some money.
But looking at the up and down line, Sid still couldn't help itching, and wanted to buy back a little... After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this up and down line is generally rising.
As long as the interest rate is not equal to the redemption rate, there is room for arbitrage.
Bonnie went to get dressed. In the afternoon, she and her sisters went to a boutique beauty salon in the inner city to maintain their skin. Sid was not interested in that kind of thing, and was staring intently at the palm-sized monitor.
Although the more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he was, but he was still curious about how the bond would rise.
Just at this time, his youngest son, Kumit, came back from the outside, and when he saw the transaction device in his hand, he sneered.
"You're boring."
Sid glanced at the dog.
"You bastard knows what a fart!"
Kumit sat next to Dad with a playful smile, and he couldn't wait to take out the little ink in his stomach to show off.
"I heard my buddy Kixiu talk about bonds. This is not a rare thing. A ten-year bond with a face value of 100, even if it rises to the sky, is only 140 chips, right? It can't be more than ten years of interest and principal. Is it more expensive than that?"
Disregarding the transaction premium arising from the tax-avoidance value, there is really nothing wrong with this statement.
Sid gave his son a surprised look.
"Hey...you know quite a lot, kid, did that Kixiu tell you?"
The original maximum is 140.
When the puzzle was revealed, he instantly lost interest in the trader on his hand.
Kumit cocked his nose triumphantly.
"Of course! As I said, my buddy has learned something, and he plans to do something big when he comes back this time!"
Kixiu had drawn him that huge blueprint, and the issuance of S coins was just to raise funds for that blueprint, and the results of that blueprint would be fulfilled in all returns, and Boulder City would also move toward greater prosperity.
Sid chuckled and curled his lips.
He had heard from Melvin that he whipped the boy in the family severely, and ran back without saying hello and said a bunch of stupid things just because of that Kixiu.
As a place for vacation and relaxation, Ideal City is really good.
But turning Boulder City into that kind of place, he never thought about it for a second.
"Big business, big business?"
Kumit said proudly.
"He plans to build another outer city in the outer city!"
"Pfft ha ha ha!" Sid nearly burst into tears, and continued to tease, "And then? Is there any use?"
"Then we will issue a new currency in the outer city, a currency that everyone can benefit from! Just like the ideal city, it is something similar to Cr," Kumit said complacently, "in order to achieve this Goal, he specially built an algorithm framework with the technology of Ideal City, and made transaction contracts and electronic certificates, the value-added of this currency is completely controllable, and any messy copper rises and shrinks can be solved!"
Sid curled his lips in disdain.
new currency?
This is not funny!
The reason why the bargaining chip can become a bargaining chip is that the power of the entire inner city endorses it, and a few brats dare to say that they will issue new bargaining chips.
When this is a house joke?
Sid didn't really care too much about it. It was safer to play house than murder and set fire to it. It wouldn't work if you didn't find something for these brats and let them mess around outside.
However, Kumit's next sentence almost prevented him from choking to death with his saliva.
"...The 10 S coins I hold now are already worth 500 million chips!"
"cough--!"
Coughing violently, Sid stood up and stared at his son, "500 million? You son of a bitch! Tell me clearly, where did you get 500 million!"
He remembered it very clearly, last time he only gave this kid 200 million!
What he hates the most is stealing money!
Especially stealing money from home!
Seeing his father's ferocious expression, Kumit shrank his neck in fright, and quickly explained.
"Yes, I earned it myself! Look!"
As he spoke, he quickly took out the transaction device and handed it to his father who had misunderstood him.
Sid took the trader, glanced at it and was stunned, his brows twisted into hemp ropes.
"What the hell is this?"
this line...
Why do you feel familiar?
However, this up and down fluctuation is too exaggerated. Although the overall price is also rising, it is frightening.
"S coin." Kumit said honestly.
"What?"
"It's the credit currency I was talking about," Kumit swallowed when he saw his father's bewildered face, and quickly explained, "In the past, one chip could be exchanged for one S coin, but now it's 1:50 by us. ... 10 S coins, isn't it 500 million?"
Sid was even more confused after hearing this.
He can understand if the price of silver coins goes up one day, but why does the S coin go up?
And one S coin can be exchanged for 50 chips...
However, what lies ahead is the truth.
And this increase looks quite interesting.
The chips with a face value of 100 will only increase to 140, but there is no upper limit for the increase of the S coins. Isn't that just pulling up at will?
No wonder his son looked down on the toy in his hand... Isn't the "stable as an old dog" bond just a toy with the increase of this S coin?
Sid touched his chin, pondered in his heart, and said something casually, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Then the trading contract and the algorithm certificate... Forget it, I don't understand you young people, just tell me, how does this work?"
"As long as you have an account in Boulder City Bank, you can buy it with your fingers..." Kumit looked at his father carefully, observing his expression, "Dad? Do you want to play?"
If his dad would join them, the plate could be made even bigger.
Kixiu tried to convince his father, President Malvern, but unfortunately he was locked up in a dark room again.
"...It can only be said that this thing is a bit interesting."
Sid was embarrassed to directly say that he was moved. After all, it was a disgraceful thing to make money by himself in the inner city. Even if he wanted to buy it, he couldn't do it in front of his family.
Kumit didn't care about decency. Seeing that his father was moved, he immediately jumped up from the sofa and said with a smile.
"Dad! It's easy to talk! Didn't I borrow 200 million from you at the beginning? There is a loan and I will pay you back... How about 40000 S coins? You can play with it, and you can withdraw cash at any time, and it will arrive in a second!"
Sid was immediately upset when he heard this, and slapped the dog son on the back of the head.
"What is borrowed and repaid, did you tell your father?"
Looking at his aggrieved son, he didn't want to discourage his son's enthusiasm for doing business, and then said in a moderate tone.
"You go to the butler and get... 500 million chips, just treat it as a practice."
Hearing that his father supported his career so much, Kumit was immediately excited.
He climbed off the sofa and looked at his father solemnly.
"Dad! I won't say anything about it... I will definitely not disappoint your expectations! I will definitely turn this 500 million chips into 1000 million—no, I will bring back [-] million!"
Looking at his grateful son, Sid nodded approvingly.
Not bad.
It is worthy of its own species.
This high-spirited young man looks a little like he did when he was young.
"It's time to leave."
Standing up and patting Kumit on the shoulder, Sid said earnestly.
"Go ahead and do it, your father will always be your backing."
Kumit clenched his fists excitedly.
"Thanks, Dad!"
A man spits a nail.
Although he knew that his father didn't like that small amount of money, Kumit forced a new transaction device for him, and then transferred 40000 S coins to his account in front of his face.
"There is a one-to-one correspondence between the trader and the account number, and the key is stored in it. You must protect it well. It is very troublesome to find it if you lose it! Also, when you sell, you have to control the quantity, and don't hang too much at a time. If you sell more than 1000 pieces, you must discuss with me!" Kumit said, staring at his father seriously.
Seeing his son's mother-in-law's instructions, Sid waved impatiently.
"Okay, got it, don't bother me with this little money."
kicked his son out of the house.
Sid stared at the trader for a while, and finally couldn't help itching in his heart. He called the maid who had been serving his wife to comb her hair before, and threw the trader into her hand.
The young and beautiful maid looked at Sid tremblingly and asked cautiously.
"...Master? What are your orders?"
"Enter your bank card number," Sid said commandingly.
The maid didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately complied. Then, under Sid's order, she pressed a 100 to enter and clicked the sell button.
The maid looked at Sid blankly, not knowing what happened.
"master?"
Sid waited for a while, then continued patiently.
"You use your home phone to call Malvern's secretary to check the amount on your card, and tell you that I asked you to check."
Although the maid was confused, she went to the next room as usual. After a while, there was an exclamation from inside, followed by a bang and the phone fell to the ground.
When Sid heard the voice, he stood up immediately, walked in quickly, and saw the maid who was lying on the ground and hurriedly picked up the phone.
He already guessed something from the expression on her face, but he still wanted to hear her say it himself, so he asked excitedly.
"How is it? How much money is there in Cary?"
The maid said with trembling lips.
"...five thousand."
Five thousand chips!
Forty or fifty workers work for a month to earn this amount of money.
She didn't understand why the master suddenly rewarded herself with so much money, and she didn't know what to do now.
Sid's eyes sparkled with excitement.
It can really be withdrawn!
That son of a dog is really promising!
Money is the best stimulant, and he, who had no sex at first, suddenly fell on the maid in front of him.
There was a touch of distorted kindness on that stern face.
"That's my reward for you, you just take the flowers, I won't take them away."
The maid let out a sigh of relief, with a bright smile on her face.
"Thank you, master..."
Sid nodded in satisfaction.
"Speaking of which, don't you have a boyfriend? I see you often write to him."
There was a little nervousness in that bright smile.
"Yes……"
Putting his hand on her waist casually, Sid said in a chatty tone while admiring the young and beautiful face.
"That young man is pretty good. I am very optimistic about the future of Boulder City Bank. Malvern is also my old friend. I will let him take care of him... Haha, it's getting too far, but speaking of it, you are all old, It's time to consider holding a wedding, right? Or just use the money."
He liked her reaction.
Usually only newcomers will show such an expression, after a long time, it will be no different from those rouge vulgar fans outside, no matter how beautiful they are, it will be the same.
He's not that brat like Kumit, he's already passed the age where he can't avoid meat and vegetables, and he needs a little stimulation to react.
The maid bit her lips lightly, her face paled slightly, and her last restraint made her speak in a pleading voice.
"...This is Madam's room."
But she didn't expect it.
Instead of driving the jackal away, the match ignited the woodpile.
Sid grinned grimly and slammed the door shut.
"That's not good!"
(End of this chapter)
"Dear listeners and friends, I am your dearest Mr. House! It finally snowed today, praise the first snow of this year, don't you think it looks like a dancing girl? Although this year is a warm winter, you can enjoy the snow Don’t forget to wear more clothes when you are in the audience, and sincerely wish the audience and friends good health.”
"In addition, for the sake of everyone's health and keeping away from diabetes and obesity, Weijia Commercial's Haowei Food Processing Factory has enriched the product range and launched an additional nutritional cream that is healthier, more nutritious, and better in taste. You will soon Saw it on the shelf—”
The glib voice of the drake passed through the sparse crowds, echoed repeatedly on the street, and blew from the bustling neighborhood to the dilapidated, messy and crowded alleys.
Sberg closed the repaired wooden window to prevent the windy and snowy voice from leaking in, then took a breath, rubbed his frozen hands, and took out a warm letter from his arms.
These days, he would wander around the Alliance embassy every day.
Although I didn't have much hope at first, I didn't expect that "Daily Survivor" really wrote back to him!
Pulling out the white letter paper from a clean and tidy envelope, a chip slid out immediately, and fell on the table with a clang, startling Sberg.
Especially when he saw the face value of the 100, his eyes almost popped out.
One hundred chips!
He worked hard on the assembly line, and only 120 chips a month!
This month is still an IOU!
The Alliance newspaper is so generous!
Carefully hiding the chips in the drawer of the wooden table, Sberg swallowed excitedly, and impatiently unfolded the white letter paper.
The neat handwriting on the letter was completely different from his crooked words.
Skipping the content of the text, Sberg quickly glanced at the name of the signing office, and found that the person who wrote the letter turned out to be the editor-in-chief of "Survivor Daily"!
In an instant, his face was flushed and his breathing became short of breath.
【Dear Mr. Sberg, we have read Ni's manuscript, and tried to recover the unfinished manuscript. We agree that this is indeed a wonderful story.It was broken at the right place, and you connected it just right, which is something the original author never imagined... He actually didn't know how to write it down, but you figured it out for him. 】
[Considering the issue of space, we plan to follow your example and add some sub-issues to the "Daily Survivor", and publish Pohl's story in the "Worker's Daily".And I think that's a really brilliant idea to get people to see more of what's happening that they care about.However, considering that our readers have not read the previous article, we plan to use [-] issues to serialize the first [-] chapters, and then publish the collection and update the follow-up part you wrote. 】
【We regret that the former author of Boll's story has gone to the province of sunset. He supports your continuation, but he doesn't want to recall the past of Boulder City.Fortunately, Miss Dolly, who used to be a reporter for the Boulder Survivor Daily, is willing to serve as the editor of the book. You can communicate with her for the follow-up manuscript. 】
[The 100 chips attached to the letter are part of the advance payment for the manuscript. Logically speaking, we should pay you after the publication with reference to the sales volume and readers’ opinions, but we agree that it would be better to pay some money in advance, so that you can We won't have to write stories in old newspapers, and our collaboration will be more efficient. 】
【...By the way, our manager appreciates your work very much. He is very happy to say that if you come to Dawn City if you have time, please come and visit him. He can let you try on the power armor for your convenience. How to beat it hard, if it helps your writing. 】
Sberg blushed.
Great Horned Deer God, he never thought of defeating the alliance's power armor, let alone plotting against the managers!
What's more, this is also the story of Boulder City. There is no alliance in the book at all, and there are only a few vague mentions of the survivors in the northern suburbs.
but……
That generous invitation made his eyes heat up, and his eye sockets became red again and again.
He knew himself very well, he was undoubtedly an inconspicuous little man, even Kent, who was working on an assembly line, dared to spit at him unscrupulously.
However, the man who even the President of Malvern had to take seriously read his words carefully, and even invited him to be a guest...
He is a coward who is afraid of death and pain. If he can live, he will never take a step out of Boulder City, let alone look directly at any wasteland.
But if it's that man...
He was even willing to die for him!
Hastily fetching an old newspaper, Sberg tore off the margins, picked up a pen that frequently ran out of ink, and wrote seriously on it.
"The title is a misunderstanding! It's just because everyone in the Workers' Association is very curious about how the Awakened can defeat the power armor, so I simply wrote it as a gimmick in the title. In the final battle I imagined, it will Worn on an evil commander...no offense to any of you!"
"Thank you and that gentleman for your kindness and kindness, but I still have to read Ball's follow-up to everyone in the trade union. But when this winter is over, I will definitely save some travel expenses and go to your place ..."
When writing this, Sberg paused for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, and added a line later.
"...In addition, can you send a copy of your workers' newspaper in the reply letter? The fee will be deducted from my next payment. Everyone in the workers' union also wants to review the previous stories. The old newspapers we sorted out are I really can’t get enough of them together, and recently workers from other factories have joined us, and I want to read to them about what’s happening in the wasteland.”
He carefully folded the note, stuffed it into the safest pocket of his clothes, then pushed away the chair and quickly ran out the door.
But not long after, he ran back from the outside as if he had forgotten something, picked up the letter on the table and stuffed it into his pocket.
He intends to give this letter back to everyone in the Workers Association.
There are still people in this wasteland who care about them!
Thinking of this, Sberg felt a burst of warmth in his heart.
Maybe this winter won't be too cold...
……
Just as Sberg hurriedly left the leaky broken house and rushed towards the Alliance embassy, a merchant from the Alliance passed him by and went in the opposite direction to his usual work place.
To be precise, it is the next door to Haowei Food Processing Factory - Lida Wuxian Iron and Steel Factory.
This steel factory is somewhat famous in Boulder City, but the owner's name is very popular, Fred.In order to make himself look less plain, he always wears a tall top hat and a gold-rimmed monocle on the bridge of his nose, although he hardly reads and is not nearsighted at all.
On weekdays, he would not stand at the gate of his factory, as the dirty things coming out of the chimney would stain his leather shoes. His office is on a street a little closer to the inner city, where the streets are more tidy and people’s Conversation is also more decent.
But today is an exception.
His dusty machines were spotted by distinguished guests from the Alliance.
Not to mention the dust on the shoes, as long as the equipment worth tens of millions of chips can be sold, even if he is allowed to lick that distinguished guest's shoes.
"Haha, welcome! Friends from the Alliance." Seeing the distinguished guests appearing at the door, Fred's face was full of smiles.
Sun Shiqi stepped forward, shook his hand vigorously, and said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you!"
The alliance is going to build a batch of apartment buildings using reinforced concrete prefabricated panels recently, and it is said that they can quickly build a building like building blocks.
A batch of iron houses had been produced in Liming City before, but that kind of prefabricated houses were only suitable for summer, and they might be used as freezers in cold winter.
He wasn't interested in what the league built those houses for, but he was still quite interested in the lucrative project money.
In particular, the alliance's series of financial plans allowed him to see an extremely broad market prospect.
So he planned to increase the output of the iron and steel plant. He happened to hear that the boss in Boulder City was selling equipment, so he came to have a look.
Fred patted his arm enthusiastically and made a gesture of invitation, like treating an old friend he hasn't seen for many years.
"...me too, nice to meet you! Haha, to be honest, I like making friends with people from the alliance the most, and it's always a pleasure to do business with you... But it's gray here, let's go in and talk about it. "
Sun Shiqi smiled and nodded.
"You're welcome, take me to the factory first... I want to visit your equipment, so that I can give a reasonable quotation."
"No problem!" Fred nodded happily, and led him to the largest and only working building in the steel plant.
Sun Shiqi was quietly observing along the way.
The iron and steel factory named Li Da Wu Wu is indeed very large in scale, and its architecture is also very elegant, forming a stark contrast with the dirty and dilapidated residential area next door.
The tall chimneys almost passed through the top of the huge wall, blowing a large amount of haze beyond the huge wall, slowly blending into the wriggling gray-green spore cloud inside the second ring road.The wide factory building is like a giant's house. It uses a big and generous hand to block the chaotic overlooking. The towering furnace and hot molten iron make Sun Shiqi unable to move his eyes.
He felt like a mouse that had never seen the world, accidentally fell into the giant's kitchen.
Whether it's those skilled workers, or those giant machines with superb craftsmanship, even the wrenches and files that were randomly thrown in wooden boxes and covered with pulp, they are all priceless treasures in his eyes.
Are those noble gentlemen pigs?
They have the heart to starve those who least deserve to be hungry.
But when he thought that he would soon become the owner of this place, at least part of the equipment, Sun Shiqi couldn't help breathing quickly.
Praise the noble lord!
The crystallization of the sweat and wisdom of countless generations of survivors, now only sells 5000 million chips!
And the price can also be negotiated!
Of course he can't afford 5000 million chips, but as long as he uses his factory in the alliance as collateral and has a written transaction contract, the bank of the alliance can lend him the acquisition money... and the most ironic thing is that this money In fact, the nobles of Boulder City lent it to the alliance at an interest rate of less than 5%.
Without writing that greedy gaze on his face, Sun Shiqi simply nodded.
"It's not bad...it's just too hot, let's go out for a walk."
Fred said politely.
"No problem! In fact, if you didn't want to see it, I wouldn't even bring you here... This is not the place for us people to come."
As he said that, he led the boss out, while introducing the business of his own steel factory with eloquence, describing the broad prospects of the industry that he himself did not believe.
It was only at this time that Sun Shiqi knew that this Lidawu Steel Factory was actually one of the suppliers of Jushi Military Industry!
Before the alliance's expedition began, this steel factory mainly supplied the steel bulletproof lining of the exoskeleton and the structural components of some large equipment for the giant stone military industry.
And after the alliance's war machine was launched, his number one customer became the alliance's construction company, earning a lot of money by exporting rebar.
It stands to reason that the alliance has approved a series of infrastructure plans, and his business should be more prosperous, but the situation is completely opposite.
The alliance's infrastructure plan was formulated to help the alliance's steel industry transform from military industry to civilian use. The new infrastructure plan clearly stated in the bidding that priority should be given to enterprises using local building materials when the cost difference is not large.
In fact, even without this regulation, it would be very difficult for Lida Infinity Iron and Steel Works to participate.
And there is no other reason, just the word cost!
They no longer have a cost advantage due to rising inflation!
Union Bank is very cunning, they refuse to touch the obviously outdated exchange rate, insisting that 2 silver coins are exchanged for 0.5 chip that is "actually only worth 0.2~1 silver coins".
Of course they have the right to decide how much silver coins they sell for their chips, but this exchange rate is obviously an act of deceiving fools, and as we all know, it is immoral to bully fools.
To put it bluntly, because the cost of industrial products priced with chips was lower, and the exchange rate inversion was not so obvious, most of the things that the alliance could not produce would be imported from Boulder City.
But now, due to the rise in the price of raw materials priced with bargaining chips, the prices of industrial products in Boulder City have to inflate accordingly, so the profits from imports have gradually been diluted.
If the thing produced in Boulder City is a key part that the alliance cannot produce, then the alliance is undoubtedly digging its own grave.
But sadly at least the rebar used to hold the cement isn't that kind of thing.
In the past, the steel production capacity of the alliance was used on the armor and tracks of the tanks. Now that the battle is over, those people have freed up their hands.
Naturally, this account has to be recalculated...
Taking Sun Shiqi outside, Fred respectfully took out a cigarette and lit it for him, then looked at the bustling factory area and said.
"The economy here has picked up recently, and life is getting better and better."
Sun Shiqi casually picked up his words and said.
"How do you tell?"
"Business is the best indicator," Fred continued, smiling, "as long as those slackers are busy, life will be better."
"Busy but poor, this is actually not a good sign." Sun Shiqi squinted his eyes, looked at the poor ghosts soaked in the smoke, and rarely said a word of conscience, "I don't think they have much oil and water."
"Because there is no oil and water, they will work harder," Fred said with a smile, standing shoulder to shoulder with the boss from the league, "and you can't always stare at those poor people." Ghosts, you can only feel the prosperity of this settlement when you walk on the street at night."
"Like the street from the Queen of the Night bar?"
"It's not just there," Fred twirled in the air with a cigarette butt, "the circle around the inner city is... My friend, you can't just wander around the industrial area at night, right? There is only A poor man who picks up cigarette butts, and a madman who drinks bad wine."
Even if he brought bodyguards, he didn't dare to go into the alley, God knows what's dirty in it.
Sun Shiqi gave him a strange look.
"But since it's about to recover, why are you in such a hurry to get rid of it?"
Fred coughed and laughed.
"It's not easy to set up a factory here. I used to be able to earn some money, but now... isn't there an easier and better way?"
"for example?"
"Whether it's bonds or S coins, there are too many good things to invest in, and they won't get your shoes dirty," Fred said with a smile. "There are even more opportunities to make a fortune here than people!"
There is a sentence he didn't tell the customer.
The reason why he reduced the weight of assets is not only because there are better investment channels, but also a series of reasons including rising raw material prices.
He can't see the overall situation of the alliance, but it is obvious that iron ore and copper ore, which are priced with chips, are getting more and more expensive.Instead of processing it into finished products, it is better to store it in the warehouse and sell it to other idiots who set up factories next month.
But now there are too many smart ones, and there are not enough stupid ones. More and more people find that this "BUG" can be stuck.
Recently, he even heard that even Wei Jia, a guy who sells food, has a warehouse of copper ore... What does this guy want to do?
Fred vaguely felt that something was wrong. Although he couldn't see what went wrong, he suddenly found that he couldn't find anyone who lost money in the big casino in Boulder City.
This is the most terrible.
So he immediately decided to settle down.
You guys play, grandpa doesn't play anymore!
Just when Fred was thinking about it, Sun Shiqi also had mixed feelings in his heart.
It wasn't the first time he came to this place. When he was doing business in Honghe Town, the grocery market in Boulder City was the place he visited most often.
To say that it is depressed would be to underestimate this place.
Most of the survivor settlements on the wasteland have only two or three hundred households, which is the result of a large number of high-tech products left before the war.
It is self-evident what it means to have a permanent population of 50 in the wasteland.
In particular, Boulder City does not have a piece of farmland or a mine, and all raw materials are obtained entirely through trade.
Its industrialization rate and industrial profits are actually quite astonishing.
It's just that there are no competitors and there is no motivation for industrial upgrading, which leads to some weird situations here.
For example, a nutrient cream processing factory obviously uses the most advanced filters equipped with polymer ultrafiltration membranes, but the assembly line in the assembly process relies on manpower.
Sun Shiqi didn't know what these people were thinking, but it was probably the same as they didn't understand themselves—why they had to choose the most stupid one when there was a cheaper way.
However, now he has a little understanding of the manager who once made him feel scared.
Some costs are invisible.
This is like a war without gunpowder.
If the alliance takes a critical step wrong in a certain link, maybe the one with a flattering smile and selling the means of production in his hand is himself.
he knows.
In essence, I and this Mr. Fred are actually the same kind of people.After all, when the Alliance was shorting the copper mine, he abandoned Honghe Town without hesitation.
"...5000 million chips is a reasonable price. If you are satisfied, we can sign the contract in two days, and I will be responsible for arranging people to transport the things away."
Although it might be cheaper to wait, Sun Shiqi worried that other companies in the alliance would be eyeing this high-quality asset just like himself.
Upon hearing this, Fred immediately made a decision.
"No problem! Boss Sun is a straightforward person... However, I have recently taken a fancy to an investment project in Dawn City. Can part of the money be paid with silver coins?"
Unexpectedly, Sun Shiqi was slightly stunned for the second half of his sentence, put away the smile he just showed, and asked with a frown.
"What's the meaning."
"Hey, it's literally," Fred pulled the big-spending boss aside, lowered his voice, and said slowly, "For example, on the book...you give me 4000 million chips. This price is a bit cheaper, but It is definitely not a cheap sale. And the remaining 1000 million chips, converted into 1000 million silver coins, you can transfer to my account in the alliance or give me cash!"
Upon hearing this sentence, Sun Shiqi suddenly came back to his senses, and looked at Fred twice in surprise.
Good guy.
Is this trying to cheat your own shareholders? !
As a law-abiding citizen of the alliance, he is of course not interested in complaining for the shareholders of Boulder City, but the proposal of exchanging 1000 million chips for 1000 million silver coins made him frown.
"1000 million chips are not worth 1000 million silver coins. I can't accept this offer."
Far from being in a hurry, Fred was delighted.
What is unacceptable is just the offer.
In other words, this matter can be discussed!
He immediately made a flattering smile and said courteously.
"It's okay, we can talk... How much can you accept?"
Sun Shiqi raised an index finger.
"100."
"100 million?!" Fred's eyes widened, and he almost lost control of his voice, "No! It's too little! Your official exchange rate is 1:2, so I'll give you a 1:1 discount. !"
Seeing this guy's poor acting skills, Sun Shiqi coughed lightly.
"Don't pretend to be stupid, that thing... Do you believe it yourself?"
Fred blushed, gritted his teeth, and gestured with five fingers.
“五……500万,不!300万!200万银币如何?不能再少了!就算黑市,顶天了也就1:5!”
This is true.
Looking at the remaining two fingers and the bitter melon-like face, Sun Shiqi finally couldn't resist the temptation and nodded slowly.
"Row."
After all, he didn't want to make his company's debt too high, and borrowing money from Union Bank was not without cost.
It's just that the 200 million silver coins can't be transferred to the public account, they have to be withdrawn from their own savings, and they can't borrow from the bank, which still makes Sun Shiqi feel a little heartbroken.
The purchasing power of silver coins is much stronger than chips!
Seeing the boss from the alliance nod, Fred finally showed a happy smile on his face, and immediately stretched out his hand to hook his shoulder.
"Thank you for your understanding! We may have a lot of opportunities to cooperate in the future... Let's have dinner together at night. I heard that the nightlife in the alliance only includes beer and fireworks."
"In fact, we don't set off fireworks every day, and it's not just beer." Sun Shiqi retorted subconsciously.
He regarded himself as a member of the alliance a long time ago, and naturally he did not allow others to arrange them indiscriminately.
"I know, but you definitely don't have that," Fred smiled, and gave him a look that any man could understand, "In the Queen of the Night bar, most people can only stand under the stage to watch, but as long as there is a bargaining chip , you can invite the dancer into the box and perform only for you. I just have a black card here, which can take you into the VIP box that ordinary rich people can't get in. You can never imagine the fun inside. "
Sun Shiqi instantly understood what he meant, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.
"Is it really just a show?"
Seeing the customer's interested expression, Fred laughed and said.
"Of course! And there are so many shows! You're the boss from the league, and the girls there will love you! If you tip with silver coins, they will love you to death!"
Sun Shiqi teased.
"I thought they'd call me a redneck."
Fred waved his hand.
"That was a long time ago. There are only things you can't think of here, and there is nothing you can't buy."
Sun Shiqi wanted to refuse.
But the legs wouldn't listen to him.
He admitted that he was a vulgar person unlike those residents of the refuge, so he probably would never become a refuge resident in his life, and it was no wonder that reserved girl never opened her heart to him.
It would be nice if the league could be a little more liberal.
It's best to be as free as Boulder City, as long as you have chips, you can do whatever you want.
But presumably Vault 404 would not agree, and their managers would definitely not agree either.
After all, that person said categorically that all goods can be purchased with the currency of the alliance, but honor and dignity are never allowed to be traded in any currency.
but……
That's actually not bad.
No matter how playful people are, they will not like to bring bad things home.The wasteland is so big, it's too easy to find a shithole.
Seeing Fred's flattering smile, Sun Shiqi couldn't help but twitch a smile.
Since this master has kindly invited you.
Then before this giant whale falls into the bottom of the sea, enjoy its fat flesh and blood...
……
It is not just the Lida Wuxian Iron and Steel Plant that is being "promoted". The first batch of chips-denominated bonds issued by the alliance reached a scale of 30 billion, and then the sales channel of the Boulder City Bank was opened up.
The bubbles squeezed out by financial tools are like a collapsing torrent, rushing towards the factory owners in Boulder City.
This is a "wave" more terrifying than a wave.
High-quality production materials are labeled with bad labels, and the things that were originally delicious have become shit that people can't avoid—because there are more delicious things in front of everyone, but the bitterness after sweetness is not. Not so easy to detect.
In this feast in the name of prosperity, some people cried, while others laughed wildly... For example, Sid, there is no doubt that it is the latter.
He can be said to be the biggest winner of this game. He cashed out early with his chips and left the field. Naturally, he was the one with the happiest smile.
It's just that when he saw the trading price of bonds in the secondary market rising all the way, his smiling face gradually collapsed.
Staring at the palm-sized transaction device, Sid bit his thumbnail and suddenly cursed.
"Tsk... Weijia's dog is cheap!"
Seeing her husband's displeased face, Bonnie sat beside him, looked at him with concern and asked.
"What's the matter dear... is something wrong?"
"It's nothing, my dear." Sid gave his wife a gentle smile, and Sid's face regained its former elegance. Give me another 2000 million."
Although she had no idea about money, Bonnie couldn't help scolding him.
"You... you have to let that Wei Jia earn some money, otherwise how can he work hard to help our family make money? Don't ask him for the 2000 million. It's shameful to ask for money."
"You're right, my dear... I'm greedy." Sid rolled his eyes, thinking that his wife was right.
He almost forgot the ancestral teachings.
A greedy hyena will choke to death on the bone, and a win-win deal will last forever.After the owner finished eating the meat, he had to give the dog a bone.
Wei Jia is an old dog, and he deserves to make some money.
But looking at the up and down line, Sid still couldn't help itching, and wanted to buy back a little... After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this up and down line is generally rising.
As long as the interest rate is not equal to the redemption rate, there is room for arbitrage.
Bonnie went to get dressed. In the afternoon, she and her sisters went to a boutique beauty salon in the inner city to maintain their skin. Sid was not interested in that kind of thing, and was staring intently at the palm-sized monitor.
Although the more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he was, but he was still curious about how the bond would rise.
Just at this time, his youngest son, Kumit, came back from the outside, and when he saw the transaction device in his hand, he sneered.
"You're boring."
Sid glanced at the dog.
"You bastard knows what a fart!"
Kumit sat next to Dad with a playful smile, and he couldn't wait to take out the little ink in his stomach to show off.
"I heard my buddy Kixiu talk about bonds. This is not a rare thing. A ten-year bond with a face value of 100, even if it rises to the sky, is only 140 chips, right? It can't be more than ten years of interest and principal. Is it more expensive than that?"
Disregarding the transaction premium arising from the tax-avoidance value, there is really nothing wrong with this statement.
Sid gave his son a surprised look.
"Hey...you know quite a lot, kid, did that Kixiu tell you?"
The original maximum is 140.
When the puzzle was revealed, he instantly lost interest in the trader on his hand.
Kumit cocked his nose triumphantly.
"Of course! As I said, my buddy has learned something, and he plans to do something big when he comes back this time!"
Kixiu had drawn him that huge blueprint, and the issuance of S coins was just to raise funds for that blueprint, and the results of that blueprint would be fulfilled in all returns, and Boulder City would also move toward greater prosperity.
Sid chuckled and curled his lips.
He had heard from Melvin that he whipped the boy in the family severely, and ran back without saying hello and said a bunch of stupid things just because of that Kixiu.
As a place for vacation and relaxation, Ideal City is really good.
But turning Boulder City into that kind of place, he never thought about it for a second.
"Big business, big business?"
Kumit said proudly.
"He plans to build another outer city in the outer city!"
"Pfft ha ha ha!" Sid nearly burst into tears, and continued to tease, "And then? Is there any use?"
"Then we will issue a new currency in the outer city, a currency that everyone can benefit from! Just like the ideal city, it is something similar to Cr," Kumit said complacently, "in order to achieve this Goal, he specially built an algorithm framework with the technology of Ideal City, and made transaction contracts and electronic certificates, the value-added of this currency is completely controllable, and any messy copper rises and shrinks can be solved!"
Sid curled his lips in disdain.
new currency?
This is not funny!
The reason why the bargaining chip can become a bargaining chip is that the power of the entire inner city endorses it, and a few brats dare to say that they will issue new bargaining chips.
When this is a house joke?
Sid didn't really care too much about it. It was safer to play house than murder and set fire to it. It wouldn't work if you didn't find something for these brats and let them mess around outside.
However, Kumit's next sentence almost prevented him from choking to death with his saliva.
"...The 10 S coins I hold now are already worth 500 million chips!"
"cough--!"
Coughing violently, Sid stood up and stared at his son, "500 million? You son of a bitch! Tell me clearly, where did you get 500 million!"
He remembered it very clearly, last time he only gave this kid 200 million!
What he hates the most is stealing money!
Especially stealing money from home!
Seeing his father's ferocious expression, Kumit shrank his neck in fright, and quickly explained.
"Yes, I earned it myself! Look!"
As he spoke, he quickly took out the transaction device and handed it to his father who had misunderstood him.
Sid took the trader, glanced at it and was stunned, his brows twisted into hemp ropes.
"What the hell is this?"
this line...
Why do you feel familiar?
However, this up and down fluctuation is too exaggerated. Although the overall price is also rising, it is frightening.
"S coin." Kumit said honestly.
"What?"
"It's the credit currency I was talking about," Kumit swallowed when he saw his father's bewildered face, and quickly explained, "In the past, one chip could be exchanged for one S coin, but now it's 1:50 by us. ... 10 S coins, isn't it 500 million?"
Sid was even more confused after hearing this.
He can understand if the price of silver coins goes up one day, but why does the S coin go up?
And one S coin can be exchanged for 50 chips...
However, what lies ahead is the truth.
And this increase looks quite interesting.
The chips with a face value of 100 will only increase to 140, but there is no upper limit for the increase of the S coins. Isn't that just pulling up at will?
No wonder his son looked down on the toy in his hand... Isn't the "stable as an old dog" bond just a toy with the increase of this S coin?
Sid touched his chin, pondered in his heart, and said something casually, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Then the trading contract and the algorithm certificate... Forget it, I don't understand you young people, just tell me, how does this work?"
"As long as you have an account in Boulder City Bank, you can buy it with your fingers..." Kumit looked at his father carefully, observing his expression, "Dad? Do you want to play?"
If his dad would join them, the plate could be made even bigger.
Kixiu tried to convince his father, President Malvern, but unfortunately he was locked up in a dark room again.
"...It can only be said that this thing is a bit interesting."
Sid was embarrassed to directly say that he was moved. After all, it was a disgraceful thing to make money by himself in the inner city. Even if he wanted to buy it, he couldn't do it in front of his family.
Kumit didn't care about decency. Seeing that his father was moved, he immediately jumped up from the sofa and said with a smile.
"Dad! It's easy to talk! Didn't I borrow 200 million from you at the beginning? There is a loan and I will pay you back... How about 40000 S coins? You can play with it, and you can withdraw cash at any time, and it will arrive in a second!"
Sid was immediately upset when he heard this, and slapped the dog son on the back of the head.
"What is borrowed and repaid, did you tell your father?"
Looking at his aggrieved son, he didn't want to discourage his son's enthusiasm for doing business, and then said in a moderate tone.
"You go to the butler and get... 500 million chips, just treat it as a practice."
Hearing that his father supported his career so much, Kumit was immediately excited.
He climbed off the sofa and looked at his father solemnly.
"Dad! I won't say anything about it... I will definitely not disappoint your expectations! I will definitely turn this 500 million chips into 1000 million—no, I will bring back [-] million!"
Looking at his grateful son, Sid nodded approvingly.
Not bad.
It is worthy of its own species.
This high-spirited young man looks a little like he did when he was young.
"It's time to leave."
Standing up and patting Kumit on the shoulder, Sid said earnestly.
"Go ahead and do it, your father will always be your backing."
Kumit clenched his fists excitedly.
"Thanks, Dad!"
A man spits a nail.
Although he knew that his father didn't like that small amount of money, Kumit forced a new transaction device for him, and then transferred 40000 S coins to his account in front of his face.
"There is a one-to-one correspondence between the trader and the account number, and the key is stored in it. You must protect it well. It is very troublesome to find it if you lose it! Also, when you sell, you have to control the quantity, and don't hang too much at a time. If you sell more than 1000 pieces, you must discuss with me!" Kumit said, staring at his father seriously.
Seeing his son's mother-in-law's instructions, Sid waved impatiently.
"Okay, got it, don't bother me with this little money."
kicked his son out of the house.
Sid stared at the trader for a while, and finally couldn't help itching in his heart. He called the maid who had been serving his wife to comb her hair before, and threw the trader into her hand.
The young and beautiful maid looked at Sid tremblingly and asked cautiously.
"...Master? What are your orders?"
"Enter your bank card number," Sid said commandingly.
The maid didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately complied. Then, under Sid's order, she pressed a 100 to enter and clicked the sell button.
The maid looked at Sid blankly, not knowing what happened.
"master?"
Sid waited for a while, then continued patiently.
"You use your home phone to call Malvern's secretary to check the amount on your card, and tell you that I asked you to check."
Although the maid was confused, she went to the next room as usual. After a while, there was an exclamation from inside, followed by a bang and the phone fell to the ground.
When Sid heard the voice, he stood up immediately, walked in quickly, and saw the maid who was lying on the ground and hurriedly picked up the phone.
He already guessed something from the expression on her face, but he still wanted to hear her say it himself, so he asked excitedly.
"How is it? How much money is there in Cary?"
The maid said with trembling lips.
"...five thousand."
Five thousand chips!
Forty or fifty workers work for a month to earn this amount of money.
She didn't understand why the master suddenly rewarded herself with so much money, and she didn't know what to do now.
Sid's eyes sparkled with excitement.
It can really be withdrawn!
That son of a dog is really promising!
Money is the best stimulant, and he, who had no sex at first, suddenly fell on the maid in front of him.
There was a touch of distorted kindness on that stern face.
"That's my reward for you, you just take the flowers, I won't take them away."
The maid let out a sigh of relief, with a bright smile on her face.
"Thank you, master..."
Sid nodded in satisfaction.
"Speaking of which, don't you have a boyfriend? I see you often write to him."
There was a little nervousness in that bright smile.
"Yes……"
Putting his hand on her waist casually, Sid said in a chatty tone while admiring the young and beautiful face.
"That young man is pretty good. I am very optimistic about the future of Boulder City Bank. Malvern is also my old friend. I will let him take care of him... Haha, it's getting too far, but speaking of it, you are all old, It's time to consider holding a wedding, right? Or just use the money."
He liked her reaction.
Usually only newcomers will show such an expression, after a long time, it will be no different from those rouge vulgar fans outside, no matter how beautiful they are, it will be the same.
He's not that brat like Kumit, he's already passed the age where he can't avoid meat and vegetables, and he needs a little stimulation to react.
The maid bit her lips lightly, her face paled slightly, and her last restraint made her speak in a pleading voice.
"...This is Madam's room."
But she didn't expect it.
Instead of driving the jackal away, the match ignited the woodpile.
Sid grinned grimly and slammed the door shut.
"That's not good!"
