NAC's war against Empire caused an earthquake in Hucheng.
But the more powerful and wide-ranging earthquake occurred in the Sixth Street hundreds of kilometers away.
On the third morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten, but the Sixth Street's bank was already packed with people. Compared to the ragged survivors in Hucheng, these people's clothes and hairstyles were much more glamorous, and their expressions were all filled with excitement and joy.
At eight o 'clock in the morning, the bell tower rang on the hour.
Just as the sign that read "Closed" turned to "Business", the crowd moved.
"Fu * k! Don't push me, you're rushing to reincarnate! "
"What are you pushing for, I can't move anymore!"
"Don't cut the line! Fu * k, have some manners! "
"…"
The well-prepared guards had already used yellow lines to create a folding partition in the hall to maintain the order of the queue.
Because of the existence of the newspaper, they were the first to receive the news from the frontline. At the same time, NAC published the same headline in many newspapers.
There was also the stamp of the military government General Jiang Chen on the side.
Below the headline, the Sixth Street Bank's analyst evaluated the population of Hucheng and the most critical investment value. Because of the military government's support, the rating was, of course, A +.
But it wasn't Jiang Chen trying to fool the investors of the Sixth Street, because the Hang Merchant Alliance also gave a similar rating – "A."
Compared to the coastal areas like Wanghai, the pollution and radiation levels were much higher than inland. Only the Shenxiang town controlled by the military government had a decent soil quality. Therefore, the overall benefits of the plantations in NAC's territory were not great.
With the growth of the population, the Wanghai survivors including the Sixth Street consumed an astronomical amount of nutrient supply. After all, not everyone could afford to eat food for every meal. Most people's staple food was still the disgusting nutrient supply.
But with the Sixth Street's current per capita consumption level, most people could afford nutrient supply above B-grade. And the raw material of B-grade nutrient supply was the basic "crop" on the wasteland – mutated fruit.
The mutant ranches that recently emerged in NAC also consumed a large number of mutated fruits as feed for long-haired pigs.
Not only mutated fruits, but Carm tree sap, bullet shell grains, and other raw materials were also in high demand at the Sixth Street.
Therefore, all the investors keenly captured two keywords from the newspaper: "labor" and "land".
As long as he had these two items, no matter if it was the Mutated Fruit or the Carm's Tree Sap, he would be able to fulfill all his needs.
Because of this, these investors could not wait to take out the money in their pockets, scrambling to pay for this war.
…
Just like the war bond issue, Chu Nan sat by the window, eating buns and drinking soy milk while reading the newspaper spread out on the table. Sitting opposite him was Zhao Chenwu, a member of parliament and the CEO of the Zhao Corporation. He would wake up very early every morning in order to not miss the breakfast in the canteen of the parliament building …
And having breakfast with the second most powerful person in the Sixth Street.
"War is always an economic catalyst." Chu Nan stuffed the bun into his mouth, glanced at the bustling crowd outside the window, and grinned.
"I wholeheartedly agree." Zhao Chenwu nodded.
The bank was located right next to the parliament building, and the line already stretched from the bank to the square in front of the parliament building. For the war six hundred kilometers away, the people waving money in the air were more passionate than the soldiers firing bullets in the bunker.
The war against Guru Tribe consumed bullets, cannons, rockets, and supplies totaling one million credits. But the war only ended two days ago, and the one million credit cost was recovered by more than half.
No, he even made a little profit.
With the money from the investors, NAC could place more orders with the military factories. At the same time, the investors who invested in Hongcheng would invest more credits to build farms and factories on NAC's colony, contributing to NAC's prosperity.
With this in mind, even the usually calm Chu Nan couldn't stop smiling.
Zhao Chenwu, on the other hand, was much calmer. It wasn't because he was indifferent … but because he had enough fun last night.
The powerful companies that had a good relationship with NAC didn't have to line up in front of the bank early in the morning like the investors outside the window. They had a special "VIP window" that allowed them to acquire large amounts of land.
Although Zhao Corporation mainly operated in the food business, they never let go of the nutrient supply business. They owned 1000 acres of high quality land at Golden River Farm. When he got off the phone with Jiang Chen yesterday, he was so happy that he almost fell off his chair.
But even though he was happy, to better develop the farm six hundred kilometers away, he still had something important to discuss with Chu Nan.
"Speaking of which, this airship is really a good thing." Zhao Chenwu looked at the crowd outside the window and exclaimed, "If we could use this for commercial transportation, we wouldn't have to fight with the raiders along the way."
Chu Nan found it funny when he heard Zhao Chenwu's words.
Having worked with this guy for some time, how could he not guess what he was thinking? Although the old fox's eyes were looking out the window, his attention was always on Chu Nan.
"Okay, you know helium isn't easy to get. Before the military demand is met, we don't plan on releasing private airship production. "
Zhao Chenwu didn't feel awkward when Chu Nan saw through his thoughts. He just laughed and asked shamelessly.
"What about using hydrogen? If we don't have helium, we can use hydrogen. Since we're floating on the clouds, the probability of an accident isn't high. I'll order a few hydrogen airships for our use. "
The hydrogen airship was a bit dangerous, but from a cost perspective, the cost of air transport was several times lower than the cost of land transport. As long as the accident rate was controlled below 1%, even if one or two accidents occurred, it would still be profitable overall.
"You sure you're not afraid of death." Chu Nan glanced at him. "How can you be sure it's safe to float on the clouds? Those raiders even dared to attack NAC's supply boats, they won't let you go. "
"Don't worry, we'll bear the losses ourselves!" Zhao Chenwu used a negotiating tone.
"Okay, there's no room for discussion." Chu Nan waved his hand and stuffed the last bun into his mouth. "But if we have this plan, we'll notify you immediately."
Seeing that Chu Nan didn't want to compromise, Zhao Chenwu made a helpless expression.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
