Chapter 066 Buying and Selling

Farewell to Martin, Ho Xiu continued to walk around.

He mainly wants to familiarize himself with his terms of reference. Although he is an inconspicuous military base commander, at least for the first time he is really a commanding commander - everything needs to be thought and planned by himself... Everything is decided by him, and the whole base is currently An unfinished prototype, he is a designer who creates the future.

Speak more bluntly - his goal is to regain military prestige and strengthen his initial strength. He knew very well that General Eaton had arranged so many new recruits for him, and he must not deliberately make things difficult, but gave him a group of his own men, the first step of a journey of thousands of miles!

The management area of the base is almost 150,000 square kilometers, which sounds quite large, but most of them are isolated mountain forest areas. The city is not scattered and the area is not large. However, within this scope, once there is any need for emergency military mobilization, this base will be responsible - but in the past few years, there have been no special incidents, and some small fights are completely handled by the police.

In terms of cities, there are three small cities, one coastal medium-sized city. The coastal city is developing well and is very close to the base, less than 60 kilometers away. The other cities are scattered on the side, and the main sources of income are tourism.

I visited the 16th city. As the largest and most prosperous city in the jurisdiction, although there is a big gap with the big cities that Huo Xiu has seen, it is also quite large-scale in urban construction. The old area still retains some historical buildings, but the new area is full of some towering and strangely shaped skyscrapers. Building.

At the same time, City 16 also has a large underground black market. Because it is a coastal area, there are particularly many coastal ports. In addition, several continents of colonial stars across the sea, freight ships have become the main means of transportation, and many people use this to smuggle. Although the alliance is very advanced in aviation technology today, ordinary small spacecraft cannot carry hundreds of thousands of tons of goods, and as long as you are a businessman, you will consider the cost.

Although it is on the legal prohibited side, the scale of the black market still surprised Huo Xiu - the black market is gathered near a less busy dock. There are not many people and few goods, but as long as he is a seller, he will have a lot of things that people need, including arms.

Huo Xiu also specifically asked an munitions dealer with sufficient supplies about the price of F-A series assault rifles. Because Lieutenant Gao Jie has been in the local area for a long time, and the locals know what the soldiers here are, and there is no taboo to talk to them.

"Sir, do you want to buy the most advanced F-A06 series assault rifles?" An arms dealer in a well-dressed suit and tie is talking to Huo Xiu in a teahouse.

The most advanced? Huo Xiu sneered at his description, but after all, not everyone can access these secrets, so he was clear. At the same time, he asked the other party, "Any version, second-hand is fine. What's the price?"

"Price!" The arms dealer looked at Huo Xiu, "A brand-new F-A06 assault rifle, we can get C, D and S, but at least 10,000, the short version will be more expensive."

"10,000 star coins are really not cheap." Huo Xiu can understand from this that because of its excellent quality and performance, such military-specific standard weapons are very popular among the people, but their lethality is also greater than other types of weapons, which is why the government restricts trafficking.

But he has no idea of trading such weapons with these people unless he is dizzy. After understanding the market, he continued to ask, "What about bullets? I don't want the ordinary version."

"We can't do anything about it." When the arms dealer heard this, he shook his head abnormally. "I'm afraid that only 'future companies' and the military can develop those complex chemical gunpowrights."

"What a pity." Huo Xiu sighed. The arms dealer saw that he was not interested in these goods, but he didn't want to give up the hard-won guests. He simply took the initiative to ask, "Light weapons are not suitable. What about heavy weapons? Should the army need them?"

When he talked about the word "army", a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes - as the local organizational forces once said: "I'm afraid the worst and most depraved troops in the alliance are concentrated here. What else can we worry about?" Although such words are somewhat short-sighted, it is not too much to describe them.

Huo Xiu also noticed the change in the other party's eyes, but he didn't pay attention to it and continued to ask, "What kind of you have?"

"Some individual weapons, such as rockets, * and so on." The other party whispered that when talking about this, he seemed to be wary of whether anyone around him was looking at them.

"I'm not interested." If Huo Xiu wants to buy it, the future technology will be better and cheaper than theirs. "What kind of aircraft can you get?"

Civil aircraft? Low-altitude spaceship?" The other party asked.

"*, troop carriers and so on."

"We can't get the brand-new one, only the second-hand one." The man said, "But the price is negotiable, because not many people are interested in this area."

Huo Xiu understands that it is impossible for such small organizations to get the kind of troop transport spacecraft and assault spacecraft developed by the military, but there is also a possibility that some are slightly damaged in drills or actual combat, but have been abandoned by the military, and the value of recycling is still very high.

"Do you also have fuel?"

"Of course." The arms dealer smiled and said, "I can only say how much you need, and we can provide as much as you need."

"sor." Gao Jie whispered in his ear, "This does not belong to the category of arms. Chemical factories can also be purified. Be careful not to fool him."

"Oh, don't say that!" The peddler was deaf. He heard Gao Jie's muttering and immediately said, "What I got is superfluous from the military-designated chemical factory. Authentic aerospace chemical fuel, including the propeller fuel of some large spacecraft."

Huo Xiu thought about it. At present, the problem of individual weapons at the base has been solved, but there are still many troubles in the air force. It must be too late to buy weapons through formal channels. Simply, he decided to do something on this person for the time being and support it for a while.

"Anne, make me a list." After he finished speaking, he found that Anne was not by his side and only left for a few hours. He made several mistakes.

"Rose, you write it."

Rose took out her laptop and pounded it for a while before nodding and saying, "Shir, you can say it."

Huo Xiu can only smile bitterly. Rose is unambiguous in combat, but in this kind of work that is more inclined to secretaries, especially when it requires flexible brains, it is a little... empty, but there is nowhere to work hard.

"Ten troop carriers, five drones are needed... In terms of fuel, 200 tons of solid chemical dyes and 50 tons of solid fuel..."

Huo Xiu said that Rose was remembering, while the arms dealer opposite was swallowing water and shouting that the big business was coming, but on the surface he still remained calm. As a businessman, if he had this performance, he not only looked unprofessional, but also easily exposed his cards.

After saying that, Rose sent the recorded file to the other party's private terminal.

"Are you sure you want all of these?" The man asked confirmed that although he was prepared, the calculated transaction amount still made him feel a little false.

"Do I need to pay a deposit?" Huo Xiu asked with a blank face.

"It's usually 20% according to the rules." The man swallowed his saliva and continued, "And the total transaction amount of this batch of goods has reached 160 million star coins, and you need to pay 32 million star coins in advance."

"When can I get the goods?"

"Ten days later." The man replied.

Huo Xiu nodded and said, "Then let's trade now - is there Huo's Bank near here?"

The other party immediately replied, "There is one nearby, and it will take about ten minutes to drive."

Several people came to the bank opened in the city together. When Huo Xiu got out of the car, he found that there was another building on the nearby street belonging to Huo's Group. Although it was newly established, he did not expect that this small place not only had a highly confidential banking institution such as Huo's Bank, but also the whole group enterprise was located here.

After entering the bank, Huo Xiu took out his own black gold card and was immediately welcomed to the VIP area by the manager, where someone specially served tea. Generally, customers who use chip accounts need to verify several procedures when transferring large amounts of money. Just now, Martin's side is fully equipped and there is no need to bother to go to the bank, but now this guy obviously does not have the strength and can only transfer money to the bank.

After the transaction, the other party shook hands with Huo Xiu with satisfaction, and repeatedly assured that the goods would arrive and leave a contact information ten days later, and then drove away in front of them.

"shir, do you think that guy is credible?" Rose asked.

"I don't know." Huo Xiu turned his head and looked at Gao Jie, "It's estimated that it depends on the weight of the military in this area in the eyes of their group."

Gao Jie looked at Huo Xiu and said with a wry smile, "shir, maybe you think highly of us."

"Maybe." Huo Xiu's face doesn't matter. Although I have only stayed here for a few days, I have also learned a lot about the customs of this area from others. Basically, the military plays a similar role to that of the police in the eyes of these people - bullying the weak, and even worse than the police in some aspects. But who called them an isolated group, and it's no wonder that the officers also took the lead in ganging, colluing and corrupting and not being looked down upon!

"But I'm not greedy for this money!" Huo Xiu said meaningfully, and then walked forward by himself. Gao Jie behind him could not immediately figure out what it meant, but Rose followed Huo Xiu's lips slightly raised, and a look of approval appeared on her face - which was exactly what they were good at.
