Shen Yi stood in front of a large assembly line with his arms folded.
Under the operation of countless robotic arms, the parts of the Terminator are gradually taking shape.
Zhou Yiyu walked from the factory gate, stood next to Shen Yi and said:
"Shirley received an order to produce five hundred X56 shaped energy guns."
"Oh? So fast?" Shen Yi was slightly surprised.
The purpose of renting a factory, besides producing Terminators, is to gain more points through commercial means.
However, it is not easy to receive orders when you first come here. Shen Yi does not have the time and energy to run the business, and the summoned soldiers do not have the level of marketing. After much deliberation, they had to let Michelle's second army take action.
There are people from all walks of life in the Second Legion. Although they are all scum, it does not mean that there are no people who are proficient in business.
However, what I didn't expect was that Shirley would be the first to receive the business.
Shen Yi then remembered that this woman was originally a businessman - Feiyu 13 was its own ship, and the captain had always had to take care of his own business.
Five hundred X56 shaped energy guns, the business scale is not large, and the profit is not too high, but it is better than nothing.
"In this case, after these terminators are completed, let's start producing the energy-gathering guns." Shen Yi said calmly.
"Still worried about Taoist Taiyi?" The good news did not cheer up Shen Yi, and Zhou Yiyu could see why Shen Yi was depressed.
Shen Yi smiled bitterly: "How should I put it? The loopholes I designed were used by others, and then caused trouble to myself... I feel a bit trapped in myself, and I really don't feel better."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Two ways. One is to kill Master Taiyi before he arrives. However, this method is very dangerous. Once exposed, we will become the main culprits in destroying our diplomatic relations. The dead Taoist priest has no other skills. He is a first-class escaper and a first-class eloquent person." Shen Yi smiled bitterly, why didn't he think of stopping Master Taiyi when he originally designed it?
Also, when building a bridge, who would think about "where to bury the gun so that it can be exploded economically and quickly"?
"The second option is to call for an armistice. For example, incite the crowd, call for peace, oppose war, etc."
"That won't be easy. Once the Yrent Empire decides to launch a war, the public's support will probably prevail." Zhou Yiyu was not optimistic about this plan.
"That's right." Shen Yi sighed.
The hatred between the three continents has been deep. It is always easier to stir up hatred and revenge than to call for peace. What's more, when it comes to war, war is always the happiest when you don't go to the battlefield - the civilians themselves don't need to go to the battlefield, so it must be Support the war.
Furthermore, Arent is not a democratic country, so even opposition may not have much effect.
The sound of high heels trampling the ground sounded, and Shirley strode in: "I don't understand why you must stop this war. Doesn't the war bring more tasks and opportunities?"
Shen Yi turned around and replied: "The mainland war will indeed bring more opportunities, but it will also bring more variables. We have already planned many things for this mission. As long as we carry out it step by step, all ideas will be taken care of." We can all get what we want, and there is really no need to pursue more opportunities. It is like if you have one million, do you use it to invest in business? Or use it to gamble? For the owners of capital, That said, risk reduction is the priority."
"Is this what is called being conservative when you are rich?" Shirley had a sarcastic smile on her face.
She became Shen Yi's summoned life for Michelle, but her loyalty was limited to Michelle. It could be said that she was the summoned being, but because of this she had no due respect for Shen Yi.
"That's right." Shen Yi didn't mind.
"Then why didn't you design some war missions that could get big benefits?"
Zhou Yiyu answered this question: "Because the actual income returns are not ideal. Bloody City has its own rules for calculating contribution and returns. In this rule, personal combat power accounts for a large part, but the command contribution is very small. We have participated in In the battle for hegemony between the four clans in Warcraft, although we also directed the war, the main benefits still came from fighting on our own."
When Shen Yi and the others were in World of Warcraft, they could gain command contributions from the operations of their soldiers. However, even at the commander level, they only received 7%, and they were directly under the army. Considering the low combat strength of the soldiers, in fact The benefits that can be brought to adventurers are not greater than the benefits from the adventurers' own battles.
While having command contributions, war missions also have a drawback, which is that they are limited by team size and have low operational efficiency, making them unsuitable for completing missions.
In World of Warcraft, the Broken Blade Team, whose purpose is to eliminate opponents and complete optional tasks, must go all out to fight the war well, and is naturally willing to command the battle and gain command contributions.
But in the Wushuang world, things are reversed.
Optional missions can be played regardless of whether war breaks out.
On the contrary, after the war breaks out, the unique inefficiency of the large army will seriously hinder the adventurers' ability to perform tasks.
This is not a problem for adventurers who do not have so many hidden tasks to do, but it is a big problem for the Broken Blade Team - instead of doing a command task that takes a day and has a bonus of 10%, it is better to do it in the city. Li An's stable and unlimited grinding of single-player missions.
Both the rewards and the ease are much higher than war missions.
For this reason, the Continental War is positioned by the Broken Blade Team to deal with enemies they cannot deal with, rather than to complete missions.
"Then can you not go?"
"No, once the war breaks out, the three countries will recruit soldiers across the country. All adventurers with a certain strength must go to the battlefield. Even if we want to stay in the city to complete the mission, we can't do it, and there are some missions in the city. It may not be retained.”
"Why are you so determined to die?"
"It's not to deal with the Purgatory Sect. Who would have thought that these guys were killed by us in the last world?" Shen Yi smiled bitterly.
"So that's it..." Shirley touched her chin and said in a soliloquy tone: "In other words, once the war breaks out, you will inevitably be mobilized, many plans will be difficult to implement, and the income will be greatly reduced. ?”
"Yes. Although it is definitely more than the normal world, it is definitely not as good as planned."
"That's interesting." Shirley raised her eyebrows: "I don't understand why soldiers have to go to the battlefield?"
Shen Yi and Zhou Yiyu looked at each other and asked at the same time: "What did you say?"
"I'm talking about why you think that only soldiers who go to the battlefield are called soldiers?" Shirley replied very seriously: "You seem to have forgotten that you are now in a technological country. Compared with such a country, What is the biggest difference between the other two continents?"
Shen Yi was stunned at first, then murmured: "Of course it's logistical support... Damn it, why didn't I think of this?"
The most important thing for a society that is strengthened by science and technology is to have a complete logistics support system, which is very different from the magical world.
The magical world relies on soldiers, and the technological world relies on resources.
This different characteristic destined that even if a war broke out in Yart, it would need a strong and powerful order to maintain production, so that it could continuously deliver artillery and combat preparations to the front line.
For this reason, in the Arrent Empire, not only those who went to the battlefield were called soldiers.
Production soldiers are also soldiers, and security soldiers are also soldiers. Regarding these two, the Yarant Empire values far more than the other two continents.
Shen Yi had murmured: "In the name of producing resources... a war arms dealer!"
The Broken Blade team already owned a factory, and Shirley's suggestion made Shen Yi realize that they could continue to stay in Central City to complete missions in the name of arms supply.
Compared with several powerful combat forces, a stable arms supply point is obviously more valued by the empire.
The most interesting thing is that during the war, arms trading will become extremely easy to do, but this mission is one of the few in the world where coins and blood points can be exchanged in both directions...
Things that were originally unsellable will become very easy to sell, sales will increase, profits will increase, and completing quests will not be affected... What's better than this?
The positioning of the factory is to produce Terminators and lay the foundation for the attack on hell.
Now it seems that its role will be increased.
Shen Yi and Zhou Yiyu's eyes showed excitement at the same time.
Shen Yi's thinking instantly broadened: "Not only can we be arms dealers, we can also provide more military support. As businessmen, we can openly sell our military force to the empire, instead of being expropriated by them at a low price using patriotism."
"That's right!" Zhou Yiyu nodded and said: "We can set up a mercenary organization like Blackwater Company. The Second Legion can play a role, and fighter planes and terminators can also go to the battlefield. Of course, warships still cannot go to the battlefield."
Impacted by Shirley's suggestion, everyone broadened their minds and started talking excitedly. They came up with various ways to make money. Even Chu Sheng and others who were not far away were attracted and joined in with their ideas. The procession of giving advice.
"We can also sign a preferential agreement with the Empire. As long as the Empire is willing to lend us a certain amount of resources, we can provide them with a large number of Terminators for free. If the Terminators are damaged in battle, they will need to pay high compensation. If the Terminators are not damaged, then There is no need to pay. For other arms companies, used weapons are worthless, but for us, they can still be used to attack hell... We don’t care about second-hand goods.”
"You are right, the empire will definitely accept this proposal."
"However, we have to consider the business obstacles we may encounter. People have a good sense of money, but we lack a foundation here. Business that is too hot may cause jealousy among peers and fearless losses."
"In terms of connections, we can follow the path of Major General Atkins. As for the obstructionists, it will give Wen Wen and others a chance to show off... Destroying an important factory in the empire is pretty good, isn't it?"
"Complete some tasks that may disappear after the war as soon as possible, and show your strength at the same time."
"Then let's use the Terminator to sweep across all directions."
"In addition, Master Taiyi hasn't arrived in the empire yet. Others will not know that the war is about to break out. We just seize the opportunity and build relationships. Once the war breaks out, the arms company will inevitably increase prices."
"So we can buy some war stocks, rent some factories at low prices during this period, and expand production scale."
"Is there any stock in Wushuang World?"
"Yes."
"Then why don't you just trade in stocks?"
"Because the city does not allow it, this violates the principle of fairness. But in the current situation, the outbreak of war was not pre-planned by us, there is no cheating, and not every arms company's stock price may rise. The risk is still there, so there is no problem.
"
There was a lot of discussion.
At that time, Shirley suddenly said:
"I don't understand why we are obsessed with only selling arms to Yrente. Why can't we sell those infantry mechas and shaped cannons of the Yrente Empire to the Lionheart Kingdom? The two continents jointly attacked the Gods and Demons Continent.
There must be a lot of pressure from the Gods and Demons Continent, so they must be willing to give a better price, right? Don’t tell me that people from the Gods and Demons Continent can’t use it, it doesn’t make sense.”
Everyone was stunned at the same time.
Everyone look at each other.
Shen Yi suddenly asked: "Have you seen the movie Lord of War?"
Shirley shook her head in confusion.
"Then I can only say that you are a genius businessman." Shen Yi admired from the bottom of his heart.
If you don't sell arms to attack your own country, you can't be considered an international arms dealer!
