Finally, the transfer price of the military factory was lowered to six hundred thousand crystals by Jiang Chen.
Eight hundred and seventy thousand? Do you think your military factory is a stable profit? Normal people couldn't afford the power armor as the market was limited. Especially with the establishment of the Sixth Street Bank, the wealth from the last two expeditions completely ignited the industrial fire of the Sixth Street. Small workshops and even military factories popped up like mushrooms after the rain. Giving up the highly profitable food business to expand the military factory was a waste of money.
Zhao Chenwu only argued with Jiang Chen for a bit before he happily accepted the price. He was quite satisfied to be able to sell it for six hundred thousand crystals. With the six hundred thousand crystals, he could further expand the scale of the merchant fleet and expand the business further.
But Jiang Chen was different. Compared to crystals, as the general of the military government, he had to consider military issues.
"Also, how is the development of the T-4 power armor going?"
Speaking of development, Zhao Chenwu's expression was a bit awkward.
"Part of the technical problems haven't been solved yet. The main problem is still the engine. The two mercenary groups I hired haven't made any progress on the recovery of the relevant technology …"
"Then transfer the development team to me," Jiang Chen said straightforwardly.
Since he just took over Fallout Shelter 027, the problem that Zhao Chenwu couldn't solve might not be a problem in front of the fallout shelter's scientists who inherited the massive amount of pre-war technology.
Zhao Chenwu nodded. "Okay, the research team was originally part of the military factory. But to be honest, development is a bottomless pit. Aside from the fact that the T-3 power armor is a bit brittle, its mobility and firepower are excellent. There isn't much room for improvement … "
"It's not brittle, it's too brittle." Jiang Chen shook his head. "Other than the armor in front of the chest, the other parts of the armor would be destroyed with a few scratches from the Death Claw."
Zhao Chenwu forced a smile. "You can't compare this to the Death Claw. Defense is not the strength of the airborne power armor. If the Death Claw gets close, even the land based power armor would be in trouble. "
"Land based power armor? Also, does the Sixth Street have a military factory that produces land based power armor? "
Zhao Chenwu shook his head. "No, or it's not necessary."
"It's not necessary?" Jiang Chen was slightly shocked.
"Compared to the cumbersome land-type power armor, the high-mobility and short-range airborne type is obviously more suitable for exploring the wasteland. For example, if surrounded by a group of zombies, the airborne type could use the turbine engine to fly out, but the land type would be squeezed to death, "Zhao Chenwu explained patiently.
The claws and teeth of the zombies couldn't break the steel of the power armor, but with their numbers, it was not a problem to flatten the power armor.
So that's how it is. In the end, it's still a problem of practicality …
The tea on the table had already turned cold.
Looking at Jiang Chen's thoughtful expression, Zhao Chenwu took a sip of the tea and signaled Su Lei to pour some hot tea.
"Don't bother, it's getting late." Jiang Chen glanced at the clock on the wall and stood up with a smile.
Zhao Chenwu also stood up and asked with a smile.
"Are you ready to leave? I'll send you down. "
"Oh, by the way, there's something else … I need another batch of firearms. Do you know any firearms dealers who can introduce me to them? It would be best if they have ready-made goods. "
Zhao Chenwu paused for a moment. "What type of firearms?"
"Anti-armor weapons, heat sensitive grenades, and sniper rifles. The more the better."
"Haha, then you found the right person!" Zhao Chenwu was overjoyed. "It just so happens that an old buddy from Su City has been looking for me these past two days. He asked me if I was interested in buying a batch of firearms. But I'm not in that business anymore, and he's worried about how to get rid of this batch of goods. If you're interested, I can help you contact him now. "
"Then what are you waiting for?" Jiang Chen laughed. "Just take me to him. I want to solve this as soon as possible."
Zhao Chenwu gave Su Lei a few instructions and told her to contact the peddler from Su City.
Then he went downstairs with Jiang Chen and drove to the industrial zone of the Sixth Street.
It didn't take long before the car stopped in front of a warehouse.
A middle-aged man with wrinkles all over his face stood in front of the warehouse. From the half-burned cigarette, he must've just arrived. When he saw Zhao Chenwu's car, his eyes lit up. He put the cigarette back into his pocket, clapped his hands, and walked to the two people who just got out of the car.
"Hehe, Mr. Zhao, I heard you're interested in my goods?" The wrinkles on the man's face squeezed together as he grinned, revealing his yellow front teeth.
"It's not me, it's this important person." Zhao Chenwu looked at Jiang Chen and introduced, "General of the Sixth Street military government, Jiang Chen."
"It's Marshal Jiang? Nice to meet you. " The man's face showed a hint of surprise as he immediately shook Jiang Chen's hand. At the same time, he introduced himself. "I'm Hu Youde, a merchant from Su city. I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Jiang."
[Tricked? That's a great name.]
"You know me?" Jiang Chen let go of his hand as he asked in surprise.
"Hehe, Mr. Jiang, you must be joking. How many merchants who frequent this area don't know you? "Hu Youde touched his slightly dirty nose and smiled.
"Since you know me, then I think you know what kind of person you can't trick." Zhao Chenwu looked at Hu Youde with a half-smile.
"Ahem, of course, even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to trick Mr. Jiang. But with Mr. Jiang's reputation, you wouldn't do something like buying on credit, right? "Hu Youde's murky eyes turned as he probed.
Now that the Sixth Street was not ruled by the Group of Ten Council, dealing with a dictator would make the merchants without power worry. If Jiang Chen didn't pay for his goods, then he wouldn't even have a place to argue.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen laughed and waved his hand.
"Don't worry, I won't do something like not paying after taking the goods. Just bring me to see the goods."
After receiving Jiang Chen's promise, Hu Youde immediately laughed and bowed in an exaggerated manner.
"Thank you, General Jiang. I'll take you to see the goods now."
With that, Hu Youde turned around and led the way to the warehouse.
"Do you need me to look at the goods with you?" Zhao Chenwu asked Jiang Chen.
"No, I'll go see it myself."
"Okay, I'll go back first. Also, this guy is sly, don't get tricked by him. When you bargain, go all out. This batch of goods has been here for almost half a month. Even if he loses money, he has to sell it. "
Hearing Zhao Chenwu's words, Jiang Chen had a confused expression.
"Is it hard to sell firearms here?"
Hearing this, Zhao Chenwu shook his head.
"The market is already saturated. There are only so few people. And with the continuous emergence of factories and workshops, this type of saturation will become the norm. Not to mention the merchants from Su city, even the local military factories on the Sixth Street are starting to worry about sales. Three months ago, this was unimaginable. "
At that time, everyone had a surplus of crystals in their hands. The rise in the standard of living also reignited the desire for crystal hunting. Therefore, the mercenaries and lone travelers eager to change their equipment even formed a long line in front of the military factories. The firearms dealers who didn't have to worry about sales naturally racked their brains to add more production lines and expand production.
However, everyone only had two hands, and their weapons and equipment weren't so easily damaged. Once the trend of the "Great Makeover" passed, the overproduced weapons would naturally be piled up in the warehouse, unable to be sold.
Overproduction was indeed a problem.
If it wasn't handled properly, after a short period of prosperity, the new factories and workshops would once again fall into the predicament of bankruptcy. Not only the firearms industry, with the gradual increase of the Sixth Street's production capacity, other industries would have similar problems sooner or later.
Looking at the ragged figure, Jiang Chen had a thoughtful expression on his face.
