Chapter 133 Chapter 131 Millionaire
Zhuang Xuteng has two weeks of rest, during which he must keep a low profile and calm, especially not accept any commissions. Lucy told him that this was not only because the middleman needed to realign resources and completely divide D Fat's inheritance, but the more important reason was that Nike was more valuable.
The price of mercenaries who can help middlemen win wars will inevitably rise. If you consider that Lucy is a passive party and turned an unfavorable situation into a victory, then the mercenaries who contributed to it will also be looked down upon. Due to the existence of intelligence officers, although it is impossible to disclose all the specific details, the general trend of this middleman war is still clear.
The person who played the most critical role was definitely Famine Stranger. He broke into Fatty D's base all by himself and worked from the first floor to the sixth floor with almost no opponents. Although he failed to complete the core task of assassinating Fatty D, this kind of combat power is still heart-stopping. The only regret is that the Famine Stranger is already at the top level, and there is no room for price increase. He himself would think so, because if it gets more expensive, no one will really be able to afford it.
Lucy's role was second. She coordinated and successfully got all the intermediaries to provide him with intelligence support, forming an encirclement and suppression campaign against Fat D. Without her command, the Famine Stranger would have no way of knowing Fatty D's specific location. And Lucy was able to trap D Fatty's intelligence network while casting a wide net. This kind of connections was impressive, and her specific operational abilities should not be underestimated. The regrettable thing is: Lucy is the middle man and has no so-called worth.
The remaining points will increase the value of Lucy's mercenaries who participated in the operation. Zhuang Xuteng will of course get the most reputation and benefits after completing the hunt for Fatty D. Lucy will definitely take this opportunity to make Zhuang Xuteng famous, and the first thing is to give him a nickname.
A nickname is different from a code name. It is a confirmation of identity and ability, just like Brother Dao of Ge Gong Dao. Oh, don't think that "Brother Dao" is the mercenary codename of Ge Gongdao. His codename passed away along with his middleman, and its total existence was less than two weeks. Ge Gongdao has always used his real name to complete mercenary commissions. With his solid credibility, he gradually gained the nickname "Brother Dao".
Nike's current nickname is "Scarecrow." Lucy intercepted the "last straw that broke the camel's back" and "life-saving straw" part of her conversation with Zhuang Xuteng and came up with this nickname. Scarecrows placed in the fields can scare stupid birds. Ordinary smart people know that they are just fake, but really smart people will guess whether the scarecrow is a disguise.
Lucy also hopes to always remind Zhuang Xuteng: he is just a "scarecrow", not a top mercenary, and he must not be proud.
"Scarecrow" Naike is in a period of rising wealth. If he accepts the commission now, he will lose money. Lucy is right, when this storm passes and the training is completed, the money will not be less, and it will be generated with greater efficiency. Besides, Zhuang Xuteng also has other ways to make money.
After leaving the hospital, Zhuang Xuteng first bought a new mobile phone, got a replacement number, and then drove to the Tomato Family Car Repair Shop and asked Kelly to repair it. Looking at the blood stains at the back of the carriage, Kelly was really worried and hurriedly asked what happened and whether Nike was injured.
Zhuang Xuteng could only tell her the answer to the next question, show her the bandage on his right abdomen, smile and say that these were minor injuries, and then turned the topic to car repairs and modifications and daily life. This time, in addition to restoring the previous configuration of the white beast, Zhuang Xuteng also wanted to improve the power of the car.
"The installation space is only so large, and space must be left for impact protection and armor. The steam engine in the front really cannot be enlarged." Kelly shook her head and said: "Theoretically, the small steam engine in the back can be enlarged, but In that case, the ability to start quickly is lost, and overall the gain outweighs the gain. If a steam engine is added, the overall mechanical structure will be too complex and the hidden dangers will be greater. Well, unless you change the model... If you are pursuing speed, then use electric power. The car is only limited by the total battery capacity and the weight of the car, so there is no room for armor. "
Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and asked: "Isn't there a steam engine that can better balance power, starting speed and installation space?"
"Perhaps it will be available for internal use within the company, but it is definitely not available on the market. Another option is to buy a large truck and put a steam engine in the back, just like a steam train - you will run very fast."
"Racing truck? Forget it, I can imagine it. That kind of car must be filled with steam. The whole Peicheng will know that I am coming, and I don't want it."
"Another way is to find a way to fit a racing motorcycle into an armored vehicle. No armor at all, just speed."
Kelly's idea made Zhuang Xuteng excited, and he asked Kelly to figure it out and reserve space first, waiting for him to learn to ride a motorcycle. Afterwards, he handed the white beast to Kelly, took the bus back to Peicheng, and went straight to the "Black Flag Grocery Store".
Just because you can't accept commissions doesn't mean you can't find ways to make money. Zhuang Xuteng found Boss Qian and asked him if he had prepared the materials.
"It's a coincidence that you came here. It was just done yesterday, but I couldn't find you on the phone." Boss Qian said with a smile: "I heard about the middleman war, and I was worried whether you were injured. Now that I see you alive and kicking, I What a joy!”
"To be honest, I didn't hear much excitement." Zhuang Xuteng smiled politely and said, "Let me start working. Finish it early and make money early."
"That's right." Boss Qian nodded with a very serious attitude.
I haven't touched the alloy steel of the Shadow Servants for a while, and it's a bit rusty. Zhuang Xuteng used "Five Shadow Servants" twice to warm up his hands, and soon found his feeling, returning to the level of being able to make a bone spear pistol with an average of three Shadow Servants.
He took out the working state of the Magic Crystal Factory, eating, drinking and resting in Boss Qian's shop, and devoted all his time to manufacturing. Once he felt tired, Zhuang Xuteng bought some Legion Juice from Boss Qian and drank it. The abominable profiteer actually sold it to him at the original price, without giving him any "employee discount". However, he also promised that as long as Zhuang Xuteng bought more, he could offer a wholesale price.
"Wholesale, starting from five tons." Boss Qian's smile was particularly sincere (asking for a beating).
"No place to put it!" Zhuang Xuteng snorted coldly and continued to work.
It took almost six days for Zhuang Xuteng to complete the previously agreed quantity, and he was exhausted. Boss Qian carefully checked the batch of goods and confirmed that they were all completed according to the standards, and they would definitely grab the market advantage and would never lack buyers.
"They can't be released all at once. They must be released at different times and locations to maximize profits. Unless..." Boss Qian said, "Unless you can make more in a short period of time, then the delivery speed is more important than the profit efficiency. Do you have any plans in this regard?"
Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "Let's proceed according to the original plan, make money in a low-key manner, and don't let the gangs that also operate black market guns come to cause trouble. When can you sell these goods? Three thousand euros per gun, one thousand guns, three million euros."
"It's more than two million euros, and try to get three million. The more guns, the smaller the market premium." Boss Qian said, "How about this, I'll give you one million euros first, and it will be transferred to your card. I don't give you two million directly mainly for safety considerations, so that you won't report me as soon as you go out."
"I won't do that."
"I know that such precautions are the rules of the White Flag, and I'm just an office worker." Boss Qian said, "One million, unless you buy a large number of implants, it's enough for your daily expenses."
"Yes, I'm also a millionaire." Zhuang Xuteng smiled. It is normal for people to get so much money at once, and Zhuang Xuteng is no exception. However, as a mercenary, he had to control his emotions. The only way was to change the subject and not talk about the million euros.
"Boss Qian, I thought of something: do you have channels to other worlds, including weapons? Are there any weapons other than the Shadow Gun that can fire warheads and make dozens of holes in the wall at once?"
"Well, there are definitely some, but the weapons are more sensitive. In order to prevent technology leakage from endangering world security, the White Flag has particularly large restrictions on weapons. This is not just a question of whether you can see the design drawings - don't forget the last time loop - but you can't even be prompted with the design ideas. You must describe the requirements yourself, the more detailed the better, and then the White Flag will make a judgment and provide you with options."
"The more detailed the better?" Zhuang Xuteng smiled slightly. A few days ago, he was overwhelmed by D Fatty's weapon and couldn't raise his head. He was very clear about its performance. Later, he played with it in his hands and knew almost its internal structure. He described it carefully to Boss Qian, while paying attention to Boss Qian's expression.
"You are not surprised at all, your expression is so calm, as if you know everything." Zhuang Xuteng saw what he wanted, then rubbed his hands and asked: "Does your white flag indicate anything?"
"Unfortunately, it does." Boss Qian pinched his nose and said: "The white flag indicates that you encountered a pump-action shotgun, which is a very classic weapon. I can provide it here."
"It really exists! How much?"
"Very cheap, only 400 euros, and each bullet is 20 euros. But money is not a problem, but its use restrictions." Boss Qian said: "The white flag reminded me that although this weapon already exists in this world, it has not been mass-produced. , it is still a restricted product. In other words, it is cheap because its technology is already available, and its use is limited because of its confidentiality. "
"I understand, what are the restrictions?"
"You can only use the gun yourself, and only you can use it. No one else can fire, disassemble, or reverse engineer it. "Boss Qian said: "This also includes bullets... In fact, the White Flag only allows one transaction mode and method of use: one thousand euros, give you a pump shotgun with forty bullets. After shooting, the gun will disintegrate and decompose into a completely featureless state of original material waste. "
"Then I made a profit, deal. "It's just one thousand euros, what's the big deal! "Wait, why is this gun so cheap? Isn't the cost of this gun high in the world?"
"I can't answer this question." Boss Qian said.
