Jiang Chen's mood right now was like f * cking a dog … Oh no, not f * cking a dog, but f * cking a doll.
That's right, it was the feeling of f * cking a blow-up doll.
He was wondering why it didn't feel right. It turned out to be made of f * cking silicone! Jiang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He originally thought the number 410 was just a setting. The polite attitude was due to the high quality of the service staff here. It turned out that the beauty was a robot!
This was the conclusion Jiang Chen came to after using all of his skills.
[Fu * k, how did it "come out of the water" so smoothly …]
But this was just a small interlude. If it was a toy, then so be it. Jiang Chen didn't think too much about it. But he didn't have the desire in that area. In his opinion, some things were better when two people were happy together.
He didn't know what kind of expression the manager of Paradise Island would have if he knew Jiang Chen's thoughts. [This robot is obviously a high-end product.] [Perfect ergonomic design. Every detail was designed according to the golden ratio. Can humans look like this?] [There's no need to worry about getting pregnant or contracting diseases. It can be reused after changing the internal parts … If I knew this guy was a freak, I would've just gotten him a chicken from the ghetto!]
Of course, the cultural gap meant that the two parties would never understand each other. [Ahem … Jiang Chen preferred to communicate with real people. The robot was left on the side.] [Occasionally, it's quite enjoyable to use it to massage my legs and shoulders.]
After declining the hotel's service, Jiang Chen comfortably laid on the maglev chair. He commanded the robot beauty to use a toothpick to pick up a piece of orange from the fruit can and feed it to him.
[This life is too corrupt!]
A day had passed, and no one came to visit him. Jiang Chen began to feel uncertain.
[That shouldn't be the case … Should I contact them?] Jiang Chen frowned. He wasn't familiar with this place, so he didn't know who to look for. Since the information was written as a food product company, there should be people who are interested in contacting him. Jiang Chen didn't think the hotel manager would keep secrets for the guests, but he didn't know how many people received the information.
But Jiang Chen was overthinking. Just as he was worrying, a merchant who smelled the scent of crystals rushed towards him.
It was Zhao Chenwu, who ate three cans of food.
…
"Please come in." When he heard the bell, Jiang Chen shouted and the voice-activated system automatically unlocked the door.
When he saw the visitor, Jiang Chen didn't show too much surprise. He just politely sat up and invited the guest to sit.
Zhao Chenwu saw the canned fruit on the table and gulped, but he didn't show it on his face. Only his throat moved. Although he was a foodie, he was, after all, Zhao Chenwu. He could be considered an ambitious person. For him to be able to reach this position, he naturally wouldn't be too shallow.
The female secretary behind him only glanced at the canned food on the table, and her expression didn't change much.
Jiang Chen, who was observing carefully, was secretly delighted when he saw this scene.
Cover up? There was something wrong with hiding it. The more you pretend not to care, the more interested you are.
Why?
The value of food in the apocalypse was without a doubt. If your calmness isn't an act, then what is it? Since it was an act, it meant that the two of them had the intention to negotiate.
Jiang Chen's purpose here was to find a business partner. It all depended on how much benefit this negotiation could bring him.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang. I'm Zhao Chenwu, and this is my secretary, Su Lei. "Zhao Chenwu was straightforward with his introduction. When she heard the boss introduce herself, Su Lei, who was standing behind him, bowed slightly to show her politeness.
"Oh? You guys have obviously investigated me. " Jiang Chen looked at Zhao Chenwu with a half-smile, but the middle-aged man didn't show any awkwardness, as if he didn't take Jiang Chen's rude behavior seriously.
"Mr. Jiang wrote down the information in such detail, isn't it because you want someone to find you?" Zhao Chenwu suddenly laughed.
Indeed, there was no rule that one had to write down their identity when they checked in. Just a name and genetic ID would be enough, but Jiang Chen insisted on adding "Fishbone Food Company Agent." Wasn't it obvious that he was going to give it to someone else for research?
"Haha, let's not talk about this. Since there are important guests visiting, as the host, I can't be too shabby." Jiang Chen signaled the robotic beauty on the side, and the robotic beauty went straight into the kitchen.
Zhao Chenwu looked at Jiang Chen in confusion, and Jiang Chen was also secretly observing him.
Not long after, the robotic beauty brought out two plates of juicy orange slices and gently placed them in front of the shocked Zhao Chenwu.
"Canned fruit, our company's specialty. Haha, this can has already been opened by me, so it's not convenient to serve guests. So I asked the temporary maid to open two more cans. Because I like oranges, I only brought canned oranges with me to eat along the way. I hope you guys don't mind. "Jiang Chen smiled and gestured for Zhao Chenwu to eat.
Mind my a * s! That's pretentious. Zhao Chenwu cursed in his mind.
Such juicy orange slices could only be seen in the first few years after the war! At that time, there was still a lot of food in the supermarket, but in just two years, the supplies were all consumed. How many years had passed?
The last time he had tasted such a delicious tangerine was ten years ago. As he chewed on the fresh and tender orange, Zhao Chenwu's resolute face couldn't help but reveal an excited expression. But when he noticed the half-smile on Jiang Chen's face, he immediately regained his composure.
To be able to treat a guest with this kind of food, it already showed the other party's sincerity. They even invited servants, which clearly showed the other party's "wealth."
Zhao Chenwu looked at Su Lei, who had a calm expression on her face but was eating non-stop. He touched his chin thoughtfully and poked a piece of orange with a toothpick, but he didn't continue eating.
Delicious food could be eaten at any time, business was more important.
"Is it delicious?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile as he also poked a piece of orange and put it in his mouth.
"It is indeed delicious. To be honest, although the Sixth Street can produce some fruits, the output is very limited. Also, due to the radiation, the variety varies greatly. Only a small portion is safe to eat, and the rest can only be processed for nutrition." This was not a secret, anyone in the ghetto or the market would know. Zhao Chenwu didn't hide it as it would gain the other party's favor.
"I've heard of it, so I smell a business opportunity." Jiang Chen nodded.
"The canned food that appeared at the exchange must be Mr. Jiang's work," Zhao Chenwu said emotionlessly.
"That's right, I sold it to the exchange for 50 crystals per box, but I heard it later rose to 60 crystals per box?" Jiang Chen smiled.
"Then, since Mr. Jiang Chen appeared in the inner circle and not the outer circle, you must be preparing for a big business?" Zhao Chenwu's face was filled with excitement.
"That's right, I believe my goods won't have to worry about sales at the Sixth Street." Finally, it was here. Jiang Chen's face showed a hint of pride. It was important who brought up the question first. In negotiations, the person behind the scenes usually had the upper hand.
It looked like Zhao Chenwu couldn't hold it in any longer.
As a capitalist, how could Zhao Chenwu let go of the profits in front of him?
"Then do I have the honor to become your trading partner?" Zhao Chenwu also had a dubious smile on his face.
"Of course, if Mr. Zhao has the ability." Jiang Chen only gave a vague answer.
"Looks like Mr. Jiang Chen hasn't investigated me yet." Zhao Chenwu smiled.
"Any person or organization that meets the requirements can become our trading partner, so it would be too inefficient to investigate every gentleman in the inner circle. I believe that as long as I appear here, someone with good eyes will find me sooner or later. It's only a matter of time. "Jiang Chen shook his head and said calmly.
However, Zhao Chenwu noticed another important piece of information in Jiang Chen's words.
"You said trade? Wait, can you provide a stable source of supply? " Zhao Chenwu's hands pressed against the table as he stood up and looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.
[It's impossible in Wanghai, so it must be an organization outside of Wanghai? Biosphere simulation device? Regardless of what it is, I must secure this deal!]
"Mr. Zhao, you're too excited." Although he was secretly delighted, Jiang Chen's face was still calm as he said emotionlessly.
"Excuse me, please allow me to reintroduce myself." Zhao Chenwu, who realized his actions were inappropriate, coughed, adjusted his collar, and extended his right hand. "Representative of the Group of Ten council, president of Zhao Corporation, Zhao Chenwu. On behalf of Zhao Corporation, I welcome your company to the Sixth Street to discuss trade matters. "
[Oh my, it's the Group of Ten council!]
Jiang Chen was shocked. These people controlled the Sixth Street, a neutral area's capital tycoon.
Also, since they belonged to the Sixth Street, Jiang Chen didn't have to worry too much about their safety. The rule of absolute neutrality was not just for show. It was a rule that was strictly enforced for more than twenty years, and it was the foundation of the Sixth Street.
Jiang Chen stood up from the sofa and shook Zhao Chenwu's hand as he also expressed his friendliness.
"I'm Jiang Chen, the representative here to discuss trade matters. On behalf of Fishbone Food Company, I would like to express my friendliness to the Sixth Street's Zhao Corporation. Let's put aside the pleasantries, shall we talk about the specifics? "Jiang Chen smiled.
"Haha, Mr. Jiang Chen is indeed a forthright person. That's exactly what I wanted." Zhao Chenwu was ecstatic as he accepted Jiang Chen's proposal.
He thought Jiang Chen was a common merchant on the wasteland, just that the goods were more expensive. Even if it could bring him a decent amount of profit, he didn't expect Jiang Chen to come again. After all, the merchants who roamed the wasteland were people who did not have a fixed residence.
But Jiang Chen's proposal was a long-term trade, so the meaning was completely different.
A stable trade route with the outside survivor base, luxury canned goods that would never have to worry about sales … At this moment, Zhao Chenwu was only glad that he was ahead of them. Otherwise, he would have become the laughing stock of all the merchants in the inner circle if he didn't let this source of wealth slip away from his eyes.
