I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 133: Sorry, I'm a businessman

Views:

Not because of the brutality of the war.

But...

Damn it, this is all money!

If you just pick up a piece of debris from it and bring it back, it will be aerospace technology that is more than a hundred years ahead of the world! Selling to... doesn't seem to be an easy sell.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and was about to give up the idea of making money in space. But then I thought about it, it’s true that it’s not easy to sell, but what about using it myself? After acquiring the island, launching satellites in the name of one's own country seems a bit over the top.

"Huh, that's almost it." At this time, Jiang Lin suddenly sighed, and then the holographic screen turned off.

Jiang Chen was stunned and couldn't help but ask.

"What happened? Didn't your rocket launch successfully?"

Spreading his hands helplessly, Jiang Lin looked at Jiang Chen and said: "The launch was indeed successful, but the low-Earth orbit is filled with magnetic turbulence... Well, you can understand it as a kind of emp that is difficult to fight against. The ability of Explorer 8 to last so long was already the limit, and Explorer 7 only lasted 10 seconds."

"Then what's the point of launching this thing? To increase space debris?" Jiang Chen glanced at him.

"How could it be meaningless? This is all precious data!" Seeing that his results were denied, Jiang Lin was instantly unhappy. He reached out and tapped the touchpad several times, and the holographic screen was re-projected, but this time what appeared was a bunch of data that Jiang Chen couldn't understand.

"Can I know what the use of this data is?" Jiang Chen looked at the pile of green floating point data with a strange expression.

"Prepare for interstellar voyage." Jiang Lin's eyes flashed with enthusiasm.

Jiang Chen laughed dumbly and asked, "Interstellar voyage?"

"That's right, 2176. The United World Organization launched six colonial ships into space. The nearest destination is Captan b in the constellation Centauri, 13 light years away from the earth."

"In other words, your firecracker can fly 13 light-years? And you are going to use that firecracker to fly to Kaptan b to defect to the former regime?"

"What firecrackers! This is called Explorer 8! Of course, I definitely can't do that thing to go to Kaptanb... But isn't that what scientific exploration is? Experiment, collect data, and improve equipment. At least, After countless experiments, I have come this far." Jiang Lin confidently pressed another button on the touch pad.

"What is this?" Jiang Chen looked at the graph full of various parameters and asked in confusion.

"The concept drawing of the warp engine is only 50% completed due to funding issues. Hehe." Jiang Lin scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at Jiang Chen expectantly, and continued, "Use the warp engine to sail at super-light speed. How about sleeping in the freezer during the long voyage? Are you interested?"

There was a brief silence.

"I want to understand, does this have anything to do with me buying this house?"

Jiang Lin didn't seem to understand what Jiang Chen meant and looked at him dumbfounded. "What?"

Jiang Chen took out the sheet and pointed at it.

"The store is for sale, the price is negotiable. I shouldn't have entered the wrong door."

For a moment. Jiang Lin's face turned the color of pig liver, and he muttered to himself: "No, they can't do this."

Suddenly, he grabbed Jiang Chen's hand and said as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Did you see the notice at the door, Interstellar Navigation Plan! Aren't you interested? A world untouched by radiation. Brand new civilization, as long as you are willing to invest in my plan—"

terribly sorry. I already have that world.

"I'm very sorry, I'm a businessman," Jiang Chen shrugged, "I can't see any investment value in your plan. I live a good life here and have no plans to fly into space."

"But-"

"Nothing, it seems that you are not the owner of this house? Or are you just a renter?" Jiang Chen sighed and put away the flyer.

Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps downstairs, followed by dense steps on the stairs.

"Jiang Lin, how many times have I told you. No! Do it! Build rockets in my house!" Suddenly bursting into the door, a fat man in a suit panted and wiped his face, and said viciously Wait for Jiang Lindao.

"Ahem, I have set up a launch base and it will not damage the building structure. Your worries are completely-"

The man didn't seem to want to continue to struggle with him. He rubbed his temples and said tiredly: "I don't care so much. I want you to pay me two months' rent now! Then, with your pile of rubbish, Get out of my house!”

Jiang Lin's face turned pale and he said anxiously: "You can't-"

"This! This is my! House!" The fat man pointed at his nose fiercely, and his almost fallen hair almost stood up in anger.

"Calm down, Mr. Gu, we will handle it according to the procedures." A man wearing a black combat uniform with an automatic rifle slung around his waist slowly walked into the room and looked at Jiang Lin, "Hello, Mr. Jiang, I am the second Sheriff of the Sixth Street Block. According to the law, you must pay Mr. Gu Hongkai’s rent totaling 68 Yajing within 3 days. Otherwise, the Public Security Bureau will enforce enforcement against your assets. In addition, because the lease contract has been terminated, please move out within three days. Otherwise, the Sheriff’s Department will enforce it.”

"Yes, but I don't have that much money." Jiang Lin stuttered.

"I'm sorry, that's the law. You will be restricted from leaving the country within three days unless the debt is repaid." The sheriff shrugged, then looked at Gu Hongkai, "Are you satisfied with the result?"

"I'm very satisfied." Naturally, Gu Hongkai didn't dare to get angry at the Sheriff. Then he looked at the pale Jiang Lin, pointed at his nose fiercely and said, "You'd better get the money together within three days." ,otherwise-"

Jiang Chen, who was watching from the side, suddenly interrupted him and said impatiently: "Excuse me, are you the owner of this house?"

Gu Hongkai was stunned and looked towards Jiang Chen with a frown.

"Who are you?"

"Jiang Chen. If this flyer is yours, we can talk about the price." Jiang Chen took out the flyer and tapped it with his finger.

Hearing this, Gu Hongkai's eyes lit up. Immediately he became energetic and came forward with a smile.

"Boss Jiang wants to buy a house? It's easy to talk about it. Come on, let's go to the tavern and have a good chat."

"Now that the problem has been solved, I'll leave first. Gentlemen, have a nice afternoon." The sheriff skillfully took out a summons from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Lin's hand. Go downstairs.

"No need to go to the tavern, just come here. You quote a price. If it's reasonable, we can make a deal directly." Jiang Chen shook his head and refused.

Not only was Gu Hongkai not dissatisfied after being rejected, the smile on his face became thicker and thicker. He is in a hurry for money. Build a factory in the newly developed land, hire a hunting team to go to the industrial zone outside the city to obtain production equipment, purchase production raw materials, invest in sub-crystal to start production... Industry in the market area? It's not like he only has this room. How can collecting rent be better than opening a factory to make money

He did not know that there was a plan to open a bank in Sixth Street, otherwise he would have said nothing and sold the property at a low price.

It is rare to see such a generous buyer.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Hongkai tentatively offered a reasonably reasonable price.

"Considering the development prospects of the Sixth Street District, my store is located near the center of the market area. Including the warehouse at the back, the total area is 300 square meters. The total price is 6,900 Yajing."

The monthly rent is RMB 34, and the price-to-rent ratio is around RMB 200, which is quite reasonable. Jiang Chen thought for a moment. nodded. However, the development potential here is so high, so Gu Hongkai must be in a hurry to get rid of it because he is in a hurry to use money.

Jiang Chen's eyes moved slightly and he spoke.

"No problem, I will pay 6,900 Yajing in one lump sum. But I have a request, that his debts be transferred to my name."

He was stunned for a moment. Gu Hongkai calculated in his mind that 68 Yajing was not a small number. But now that he is in a hurry to spend money, he doesn't seem to care about that much anymore.

Gu Hongkai glanced at Jiang Lin, then turned to Jiang Chen and said with a smile, "Okay, then as Boss Jiang wishes, the debt will be transferred to your name."

Jiang Chen nodded, then took the agreement he handed over, glanced at it carefully, and signed his name.

Tomorrow, you just need to go to the consignment bank in the market to pay the money, and then you can get the certificate of the property consigned there. After all, it is impossible for a normal person to carry 6,900 points of crystal with him everywhere. With the development of the economy, banks are really necessary.

Of course, Jiang Chen, who has storage space, is an exception.

Seeing the creditor Gu Hongkai leaving, Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Phew, man, thanks. If it wasn't for you, I don't know how I would have dealt with this."

Jiang Chen pinched the IOU in his hand and glanced at Gu Hongkai with a half-smile.

"Thank me? It's a little early."

Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this and looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

"The transfer of creditor's rights does not mean the forgiveness of debt. So, now you owe me 68 Yajing."

In an instant, Jiang Lin's face, which had finally regained its color, turned pale again.

"I... I have no money."

After holding back for a long time, he sent these few words.

Jiang Chen was not surprised at all by his answer, he shrugged and continued.

"You have two options, sell off all the assets in the store at a discount. Considering the current boom in the military industry, there is still a huge gap in metal raw materials. It should be no problem to sell your gadgets for scrap prices."

When Jiang Lin heard that his treasure was going to be sold as scrap, he immediately became anxious and shouted excitedly.

"Impossible! Don't even think about it! These things of mine are worth at least tens of thousands! This is a flight to the new world! Do you understand the value here? Since you are a businessman, there is no way you don't understand it!"

After listening patiently to Jiang Lin's words, Jiang Chen smiled evilly and slowly spoke after Jiang Lin started to feel creeped out.

"Ten thousand? The value that is not recognized by the market is just your wishful thinking. I can say that one of my hairs is worth hundreds of millions, but will you buy it? Without buying and selling, there is no value. In my opinion, you are a pile of rubbish Tie Lian is not even worth 30 sub-crystals."

"Flying to space? How much sub-crystal do I need to invest? How many years will it take? If I give you 100 years, I'm afraid you won't be able to fly out of the solar system."

"Kaptan b? Are you so sure that the former regime will have a good life there? Are you so sure that you will be warmly welcomed when you fly there?"

"I'm very sorry, I'm a businessman." Jiang Chen repeated the last words word for word.

Those words pierced Jiang Lin's heart like needles.

He bit his lip until it turned blue.

His heart was filled with anger as his research results were dismissed as worthless, but he could only hold back this anger.

Jiang Chen's words woke him up from his dream.

No one will pay for his ideals. Even though he spent hundreds of crystals to get this set of equipment from the National Planetarium by placing an order with mercenaries. But no one recognizes the value of these gadgets because no one needs them.

He began to regret it. If he had not stubbornly abandoned his father's property and devoted himself to the study of aerospace technology, he would never have ended up in a situation where he could not afford to pay the rent.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Lin said in a low voice: "Can I hear the second option?"

Finally, he heard a hint of maturity in that voice, and Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.

An immature ideal really has no investment value, but a mature technician is worth investing in.

"Second option, work for me." ()
