"Work for you?" Jiang Lin paused for a moment as he looked at Jiang Chen, confused. "Work in your factory?"
"No." Jiang Chen shook his finger and looked straight into Jiang Lin's eyes. "Come to my survival base. I'll invest in your space program, but you have to follow my requirements."
Jiang Lin looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously.
"Other survival bases? Although I haven't left the Sixth Street much, I'm not completely clueless about the outside world. Who can guarantee that your base isn't a bandit's nest? Will I be treated as a slave after I go in? "
Jiang Chen smiled, walked up, and patted Jiang Lin's shoulder.
"Slave? Do you know how much it cost to buy a slave in the refugee camp? "
Jiang Lin gulped. "Until the slum refugee trade was stopped. Including the slavery chip's price of 19 crystals, the price of a slave increased to 50 crystals."
"Then do you think I need to spend 68 crystals to buy a labor force that hasn't done much work?" Jiang Chen opened his hands with a smile. "Also, I don't plan on negotiating with you. You only have two choices in front of you."
"Sell your dream like scrap metal, then work in a factory to pay off the remaining crystals. Or sell your dream to me. I'll provide you with resources and research direction. And you, you just need a chip in the back of your neck. "
After listening to Jiang Chen's words, Jiang Lin's eyes clearly struggled for a moment, but in the end, he sighed as if he was going to compromise. Under Jiang Chen's satisfied gaze, he opened his mouth.
"I choose the second option."
…
Since Jiang Lin had already nodded, the next step was easy to take care of. Jiang Chen ordered him to pack up everything and then arranged for him to go to the hospital for the slavery chip implantation surgery. On the 10th, he would trade with Zhao Corporation and ask Zhao Chenwu to send the person and the things over.
As to what the shop would be used for? Jiang Chen hadn't thought about it yet, but he first hired construction workers to seal up the open roof. Since it was almost winter, the simple roof to block the rain didn't seem reliable.
All in all, the requirement to own at least 200 square meters of real estate to invest in the Sixth Street Bank was met.
The next morning, Jiang Chen brought Jiang Lin to the hospital.
After paying 19 crystals, Jiang Chen watched the doctor take Jiang Lin to the end of the hallway. At that moment, he coincidentally bumped into five people who were walking out of the rehabilitation room.
Due to the implantation of the chip in the spinal nerve, the electronic components would interfere with the nerves. After the surgery, he would need to undergo a few hours of rehabilitation before he could be discharged. At this moment, they had obviously completed the rehabilitation program.
When Chu Nan saw Jiang Chen, he greeted him from afar. Zhou Guoping still had that ingratiating smile on his face, while Zhao Gang supported his wife in silence. As for Zhou Xiaoxia, her eyes were a little dull, as if she had been injected with a tranquilizer?
"How do you feel?"
"It's okay, try your EP." Chu Nan shrugged.
A doctor in a white coat walked over and handed a memory card the size of a fingernail to Jiang Chen before hurrying back to the operating room.
Jiang Chen held the RAM and inserted it into the EP on his wrist. He noticed that Chu Nan's eyes were glued to the progress bar while he was reading the progress bar.
"Do you miss freedom?" Jiang Chen joked.
Chu Nan smiled and looked to the side.
"Freedom is nothing. The moment I was born, I was fighting for a certain force. It's just a change of location."
The progress bar finished reading.
Looking at the words [Slavery Chip Connection] on the screen, Jiang Chen pulled out the memory card and crushed it with familiarity.
"Freedom is a good thing. Within the framework of the rules, I will give you enough freedom." Jiang Chen smiled at Chu Nan as he pressed a few buttons on the EP.
Jiang Chen's face appeared on the screen. The image was clear as he was connected to Chu Nan's vision.
Chu Nan rubbed his temple. "Is this the optic nerve implantation? The slavery chip designed by the Sixth Street is interesting. "
"Liuding town doesn't have this?" Jiang Chen said in a relaxed tone as he selected the end of the implantation.
"No, we have more opportunities for long-range combat, and the opportunity for land combat is rare. We call it the 'dictator chip'. It mainly strengthens communication and long-range sensor systems, but it doesn't seem to be as stable as this thing. Also, it is managed by the central processor on the ship. Only with authorization will the management be given to someone's EP. "Chu Nan moved his limbs as he gradually got used to the feeling.
"What about you guys?" Jiang Chen looked at the remaining four people and smiled.
Zhou Guoping, with his shiny bald head, nodded and bowed. "Hehe, very good! Pledge your loyalty to the boss. "
Zhao Gang's wife timidly hid behind Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang comforted her by patting her hand as he looked at Jiang Chen with seriousness. "It's okay."
As to Zhou Xiaoxia, she still had the same blank expression.
Some things were not convenient to say in public. After making sure the chip was installed correctly, Jiang Chen took the five people to .
After everyone entered the room, he closed the door behind him.
Seeing that the boss seemed to have something to say, Zhou Guoping's eyes quickly turned as he eagerly moved a chair behind the counter for Jiang Chen. Chu Nan glanced at him, pouted, and looked away. The conflict between them started a month ago. But now that they were working together, there was no chance for revenge.
Zhao Gang held his wife's hand as he stood on the side in silence.
"I'll briefly explain the arrangements. Just listen and do what you need to do." Jiang Chen didn't hesitate as he sat on the chair.
"Zhao Gang, take your wife back to the base first, and then join the civilian force."
"Understood."
"Chu Nan, you should be more familiar with the helicopter. If you need anything for maintenance, just buy it from the market. Then, take her back. "Jiang Chen pointed at Zhou Xiaoxia, who was still unconscious.
"No problem. But I don't have any money on me right now. "Chu Nan shrugged helplessly.
Jiang Chen took out two 100 point crystals from his pocket and threw them into his arms under his shocked gaze. Then he clapped his hands.
"Okay, let's go."
The four of them quickly left, leaving behind Zhou Guoping who didn't know what to do.
Zhou Guoping interpreted the word "lackey" to the extreme. Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't say anything, he walked up and asked with a smile, "Boss? What about me? "
"I heard that you were stationed at the Sixth Street when you worked for the Huizhong Mercenaries, so you should be familiar with this area?" Jiang Chen leaned back on the chair, crossed his fingers, and smiled at Zhou Guoping.
"Hehe, of course. Boss, if you want to know, just ask me. "Zhou Guoping patted his chest confidently.
"Do you know the human trafficker?"
Hearing this, Zhou Guoping immediately nodded and said eagerly, "I do, I do! Su City has a slave trafficker stationed at the Sixth Street, and the sales of the clones from Fallout Shelter 071 are quite good here. But due to production issues, we need to place orders in advance, but the good thing is that they are all original goods — "
"What are you thinking? What are you talking about? "Jiang Chen jokingly scolded," I don't drive that kind of car. "
"Hehe, but boss, if you want, you can go play at Xinrui Hotel. The newly manufactured clones are like inflatable dolls, after being trained, they will be more — "Zhou Guoping's smile was perverted.
"Okay, let's talk business." Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and interrupted Zhou Guoping's flattery.
"Yes, yes!"
"Contact the human trafficker. The base needs around 200 people. How much do you think is a good price? "
Zhou Guoping hesitated and thought for a moment before saying, "If it's a normal slave trafficker, 10 crystals would be enough. If it's a product from Fallout Shelter 071, it would be around 20 crystals. Based on the recent market situation at the Sixth Street, the price could double. "
"That's not a problem, just contact them. It's not convenient to transport in the winter. Place the order first, and it won't be too late to transport the people next year. Try to lower the price as much as possible. It's time to test your ability. "
Zhou Guoping laughed and confidently patted his chest. "Don't worry, boss! I'll take care of it. "
After dealing with the human trafficker, it was time to discuss how to use the store.
"This store, what do you think we should use it for?" Jiang Chen examined the interior of the store and asked.
After listening to the boss's words, Zhou Guoping's eyes rolled. He touched his bald head and smiled, "That depends on what you want. If you want to make money, you can definitely make money by opening a food store."
After a moment of thought, Jiang Chen shook his head. "A food store is out of the question. The food business at the Sixth Street has already been handed over to Zhao Chenwu."
The Fishbone base needed an ally, and it was necessary to give up a portion of the profit. Based on the current situation, Zhao Chenwu was a very honest person. Maintaining the cooperation would definitely bring more benefits than a mere food store.
Also, this store was not very profitable. Other than food, the Fishbone base didn't have anything else that could attract the people of the Sixth Street to buy.
Other than crystals, what Jiang Chen needed more was information!
Investing in the bank made him realize the importance of collecting information. If Zhao Chenwu didn't reveal the project to him, he would have missed out on this business with a profit of more than one hundred thousand crystals. Since he didn't have any eyes in the Sixth Street, he could only rely on Zhao Chenwu to inform him of anything. But it was not a smart move to put his eyes in someone else's hands.
With the growth of the Fishbone base, he had to worry about more and more things.
"I need you to collect information for me and record all the information you think is valuable. You've done this for the Huizhong Mercenaries before, so you should be familiar with this."
Zhou Guoping heard this and a proud smile flashed across his face. He immediately laughed. "Of course, boss, I'm the best at this. When I worked for the mercenary group, I spent every day at the bar and the official acquisition center to record the information of the fat sheep and send it back. We can open our own tavern. There's nothing better than alcohol to make people speak the truth. "
"Bar?" Jiang Chen paused for a moment as he looked at him with a strange expression. "Is there a bar on the Sixth Street?"
[There isn't even food for brewing, but there is a bar?]
"Hehe, it's all industrial synthetic alcohol that has been processed without methanol. A small amount is harmless."
[Industrial alcohol is drinkable?!]
[Fu * k, the alcoholics in the apocalypse sure are hardworking.]
But he forgot that selling alcohol was also a way to make money, and it could be even more popular than the food business!
"I'll leave the bar to you. Hire someone to renovate this place. Send me a message when it's done. Don't worry about the alcohol, I'll take care of it. "
He didn't know if the alcoholics would crush the entire bar when they smelled the aroma of beer, white wine, and red wine. The more Jiang Chen thought about it, the more likely it seemed. The smile on his face grew wider.
Alcohol may be a rarity in the apocalypse when food was scarce, but it was nothing in the modern world. He could buy a few pounds at any supermarket.
Zhou Guoping saw that his boss was in a good mood and was secretly happy. Since his future was tied to Jiang Chen, if Jiang Chen was satisfied, he would have a good life.
"Roger! My boss. "Zhou Guoping exaggeratedly bowed as he said respectfully.
