Chapter 1016 Purchase of Supplies

This exchange is for both parties to get what they need.

Although the warships given by the exchange party are priceless and have no market value, rare warships and warships have certain strategic effects. The exchange party itself is a large organization. When fighting, they need to consider the battle damage. For example, if I invest in 10 billion, how much cost can I recover?

It is true that the certificates they exchange will be more useful on the battlefield than warships of the same level, but what is the use of it?

The value that this battleship can create does not match its own value, and once it is lost, the loss will be more or less unacceptable to them.

In peacetime, they can make a lot of money by hyping these warships, because after all, there are some teams that pursue excellence and are in great need of such high-quality warships.

It’s different now. Now no matter which team they are, they will consider cost-effectiveness, because they know very well that their fleets are likely to be all discounted, so the prices of warships of this level are also falling crazily during this period. Otherwise, otherwise It is impossible for them to take out this kind of warship for exchange.

For them, once this kind of warship goes on the battlefield, its ultimate role may be to gain some for themselves. Tactics are not necessary at all, but for people like the captain, this kind of battleship is life-saving. Compared with their cannon fodder battleships, as long as they are careful, they will basically not lose anything.

Compared to dragging the entire fleet out to be used as cannon fodder, this plan is obviously more suitable for them. If they are lucky, then this war can be passed safely, so they believe that these people will be happy to exchange.

As for why the captain was chosen, it was because among the people who were currently willing to exchange, except for those who were still obsessed with seeing each other at the flagship level, the remaining ones who were willing to trade with them had the most chips.

In this way, after the deal between the two parties was concluded, the captain immediately led a group of team members to the parking place of the battleships. The first thing that caught his eye were two huge strategic-level battleships. The overall length of the two battleships had reached over 1500 meters.

The cruiser is relatively small, only about 400 meters.

At this time, everyone couldn't help but feel a little emotional when they saw these three battleships.

"Although I really don't want to admit it, I still have to complain about such a huge fleet like ours. In the end, we only changed three ships." At this time, a team member couldn't help but sigh.

"What do you know? How high is the amount of technology contained in this kind of ship? You must also know about this level. If it were goodbye before, we might not even be able to see each other, but now this kind of warship is ours Yes, as long as we survive this war and have these battleships, it will not be too easy for us to organize the mining team again. "

What this team member said is true compared to a formation composed of ordinary battleships and a formation composed of advanced battleships with this special ability. It is the two concepts that can attract people.

However, compared to his teammates, the captain's expression was full of hesitation at this time.

At this time, seeing something different in the captain's expression, the rest of the team members immediately understood something. After a long time, they couldn't help but sigh.

"There is nothing we can do about it. After all, after the war starts, even we ourselves will be too busy to take care of ourselves."

"Although we have been working together for a long time, there are always things that have to be decided."

At this time, hearing the discussion of the core team members, the expressions of other nearby members could not help but change slightly, and their expressions were full of worry.

Everyone present knew what was going to happen next.

"This is also something that can't be helped."

At this time, the captain couldn't help but murmured softly.

To be honest, although most of them were hired by him, everyone has developed feelings after getting along with each other for a period of time. It would be unbearable for anyone to drive them away under such circumstances.

But the captain also knew very well that sometimes decisions had to be made, although if the three warships were forced to squeeze in, they could indeed bring most of the people with them.

But in fact, he will only choose a small group of people. This small group of people can enter not only themselves but also their families.

Of course, bringing family members is not a threat, but a kind of protection. Among them, there are family members from all walks of life, and some of them can be transferred to the logistics department later, so these people do not need to follow them. Came out.

But some will be transferred to the front line. Instead of going to the front line to drive those pure cannon fodder ships, it is obviously safer to call these people on your own ship.

And all the remaining team members will fight for themselves in the later war, so bring these personnel into the ship to provide them with protection, and also let them provide help. This is what all fleets do by default. matter.

At this time, almost everyone was looking at the captain eagerly waiting for his announcement.

Seeing everyone's gaze, the captain took a deep breath, then took out the list he had prepared in advance and started reading. Those whose names were called were naturally extremely happy, while those whose names were not called had various kinds of discomfort in their voices.

They know very well that after today's separation, they may be transferred to the cannon fodder team. If they are lucky, they may be transferred to the flagship formation. Of course, the cannon fodder ship will still be driven here.

So they are also very confused about their future destiny.

If you are transferred to an ordinary cannon fodder team, you will basically die without a chance of survival, but if you can come out alive, then your achievements will not be lower in the future and the rewards you can get will not be less.

But most of them died on the road, and it would be better if they were transferred to the flagship formation. Although they were both cannon fodder, they were in the flagship formation after all, so their survival rate would naturally be relatively higher.

Just like that, with the announcement of the list, the original team of several thousand people was reduced to just over 300 people in an instant.

Most of the people left, and the remaining 300 or so people immediately began to contact their families.

When they told their family the good news, everyone in the family was very excited. After all, with this relationship, at least they don't need to worry too much about their safety in the future.

Of course, those who were selected are lucky, and those who were not selected started looking for a new team. Now they still have a chance to find a team, but if they wait until the actual war is assigned, then they will have no chance. They are looking for teams, so now they are starting to go there while they still have some ability, and apply for jobs in some of the more famous teams to see if they can be selected.

After all, there are some famous teams. If they are selected, they will undoubtedly greatly increase their survival probability. Although the main civilization has not issued a real command to start the war, many affiliated civilizations have also begun to be busy. After all, this information was revealed deliberately. After all, only in this way can we plan and prepare in advance.

So it was about a few months later, now at the port.

Large transport trucks are parked here, and at this time the captain is leading a group of team members to communicate with these people.

At this time, the captain and the leading businessman were arguing with faces red in the face.

"How could you do this!"

"Before, our contract clearly stated this price, but now you have almost tripled it."

Facing the captain's angry gaze, the war merchant headed by him looked indifferent. He had seen too many such people and experienced too many.

War merchants are special merchants who mainly make money from war. After all, war money is the most profitable these days. They will hoard a large amount of materials in advance, waiting for the war that is very likely to happen in the future. Once the war starts, They will sell these materials in large quantities

Of course, this also depends on their vision. After all, hoarding supplies can indeed allow them to make money after the war, but this is not absolute. For example, with the advancement of science and technology, a new generation of equipment is replaced. This kind of thing happens in civilization. Also very normal.

Once they encounter this situation, the value of many of the things they hoard will shrink significantly. If the technology level of the things they hoard is not high, it may even become obsolete later, causing them to lose all their money and hoard. Supplies also need warehouses.

There are also some equipments that need to be maintained, which is a huge expense every day. Therefore, in this industry, the first point is that you must have a sufficient foundation. Otherwise, you will not have the money to purchase these things and maintain the daily expenses. And with these foundations, you will have to test your vision later on: what kind of things will not be updated in a short period of time, and what kind of things can be sold at a good price when the time comes.

"I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious first. You can take a look at how much the prices of different substances on the market have increased. It is true that the prices I give here are 2% higher than the market prices, but on my side The supplies are complete, not only the ship's equipment, maintenance robots, or some daily food and other things, I can provide you with a complete set here. "

"As for other businessmen, if you try to piece it all together, you will definitely not be able to piece it all together."

"Although the prices here are more expensive, the quality is guaranteed, and it saves time, effort and worry. You can spend more energy on dealing with the subsequent war, rather than on the laborious task of looking for sellers everywhere. Above, we are just making hard money.”

At this time, the war merchant is also the old god. The current situation has become increasingly unclear. The war may start at any time. As a war merchant, he has an extremely keen sense of smell on this matter.

So these people have to come to him to buy things. Of course there are many businessmen like him. The reason why these people have to buy from him is also very simple. Businessmen are not just buying low and selling high. Merchants like them are particular about the goods they sell and the goods they purchase. Their own vision determines how much they can earn. Some goods they will clear out in advance.

The output of these goods will not increase in the short term.

When these goods are in their hands, they will be packaged and sold together with other goods. Only how much goods you purchase can I allocate you these important supplies. Although the town is about to open and these material factories are also producing, compared to the huge demand, the factory's production seems a bit inadequate, so this is also a way for them to make a lot of money.

If you want to make money in this civilization, the demand for personal vision is too high.

Only by discovering real business opportunities can you make a lot of money. If there is a problem with the goods you choose, the production capacity may suddenly increase due to some reasons in the later period, and you will lose all your money. Therefore, for these businessmen, in The selection of various items is particularly important, and the judgment of a businessman is also based on these things.

Obviously the businessman in front of him made the right choice, so now he has made a lot of profits.

"Although the profit from taking action now will be much lower than when the real war begins, there are too many uncertainties after the war begins."

"The risk is not that big at all, so although you will make less money if you make a move at this time, the advantage is stability."

This is what the war merchant was thinking at this time.

In this way, the two parties went through rounds of bargaining and finally solved the problem.

This time the war merchant successfully sold a batch of goods. Although it was not a very large amount, at least it cleared a lot of inventory for himself.

After completing this transaction, he went back with satisfaction, and this time he was on the captain's side.

"These merchants are really damned. Originally we could buy several times the goods, but now we only buy this little."

At this time, the captain couldn't help but frown when looking at the supplies he purchased, although he also knew that the price was already very high. Even he knew very well that if he didn't take action and had not prepared supplies when the war started, there would be big problems in the later period, especially if he bought them at that time, the price would only be higher.

"Forget it, I have bought everything now. It is useless to think so much. Moreover, these supplies are enough for us to use for a period of time. After the war starts, some supplies will be distributed according to our situation, so when the time comes, the supplies will be There should be no shortage of resources, and the next step is to arrange for joining the team.”

"Our current warships cannot join the private fleet at all, because the private fleet mainly accepts various war missions and obtains contributions in this way, while we mainly do battlefield support and reconnaissance behind enemy lines, so we can only Entering the regular ranks of civilization.”

Thinking of this, he felt quite helpless. Although the civilized regular team provided good services, there was strict military management.

So naturally they don't have as much freedom as the private teams there.

"Forget it, it's useless to think so much now, let's arrange the follow-up things first."
