In the end, Jiang Chen lowered the transfer price of the military factory to 600,000 Yajing.
Eight hundred and seventy thousand? Do you think your military factory is stable and profitable? Most people couldn't afford power armor, and the market itself was very narrow. What's more, with the establishment of the Sixth District Bank, the wealth brought by the last two expeditions completely ignited the industrial fire in Sixth District. Small workshops and even military factories sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, selling hugely profitable food. Expanding the military factory without doing business will simply make trouble for the money bag.
Zhao Chenwu argued with Jiang Chen for a while, and then happily accepted the price. He was quite satisfied with being able to sell 600,000 Yajing. With the working capital of 600,000 Yajing, he will further expand the scale of the caravan and expand his business to further places.
But Jiang Chen was different. Compared with Kia Jing, he, the marshal of the military government, had to consider military issues more.
"By the way, how is the development of the T-4 powered armor going?"
When talking about research and development, Zhao Chenwu looked slightly embarrassed.
"Some technical problems have not yet been solved. The main problem is the engine problem. The two mercenary groups I entrusted have made little progress in recycling related technologies..."
"Then the R&D team will be transferred to me." Jiang Chen said directly.
It happened that Vault 027 had just been incorporated. Problems that Zhao Chenwu could not solve might not be a problem at all in front of the Vault scientists who had inherited a large amount of pre-war technology.
Zhao Chenwu nodded, "Okay, the scientific research team is originally part of the military factory. But to be honest, research and development of this thing is a bottomless pit. In addition to the brittle armor, the T-3 power armor has both mobility and firepower. Very good, there is not much room for improvement..."
"It's not a little brittle, it's too brittle." Jiang Chen shook his head, "Except for the chest armor, the other parts of the armor will break after just two scratches."
Hear the words. Zhao Chenwu smiled bitterly and said, "You can't compare this with the Death Claw. Defense is not the strong point of airborne power armor. Even land combat power armor will have some trouble if the Death Claw sticks to you close."
"Land combat power armor? By the way. Speaking of which, is there a military factory in the Sixth District that produces land combat power armor?"
Zhao Chenwu shook his head, "No, or it's not necessary."
"Isn't it necessary?" Jiang Chen asked slightly surprised.
"Compared to the bulky land combat power armor, the airborne type that is highly maneuverable and can fly short distances is obviously more suitable for exploring the wasteland. For example, if you are surrounded by a group of zombies, the airborne type can fly with the vortex engine behind it. Get out, and the land combat type will have to be squeezed to death there." Zhao Chenwu patiently explained to Jiang Chen.
The claws and teeth of zombies can't break the steel of power armor, but there is no problem in squeezing power armor flat with thousands of them.
I see, in the final analysis it is still a question of practicality...
The tea on the table has gone cold.
Looking at Jiang Chen's thoughtful expression, Zhao Chenwu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then motioned Su Lei to pour hot tea.
"Don't bother, it's getting late." Jiang Chen glanced at the electronic watch on the wall and stood up with a smile.
Zhao Chenwu also stood up and asked with a smile.
"Are you ready to leave? I'll take you down."
"Oh. By the way, there's something else... I also need a batch of arms. Do you have an arms dealer you know who can introduce me to it? It's best to have ready-made weapons."
Zhao Chenwu was stunned, "What type of arms?"
"Anti-armor weapons, thermal grenades, sniper rifles, etc. In short, the bigger the better."
"Haha, then you have found the right person!" Zhao Chenwu was overjoyed, "Just in the past two days, an old guy from Su City came to me and asked me if I was interested in eating a batch of arms. But now I have He is no longer doing business in that area. He is worried about how to get rid of this batch of goods. If you are interested, I will help you contact him now. "
"Then what are you waiting for?" Jiang Chen said with a smile, "Just take me to him. I want to resolve this matter as soon as possible."
Zhao Chenwu and Su Lei gave some instructions. Ask her to contact the merchant from Su City.
Then he and Jiang Chen went downstairs and took a car straight to the industrial area in the sixth block.
Not long after, the car stopped in front of a warehouse.
Standing at the door of the warehouse was a middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face. Judging from the half-burned cigarette, he must have just arrived. After seeing Zhao Chenwu's car, his eyes clearly lit up. He stubbed out his cigarette and stuffed it back into his pocket, clapped his hands and walked towards the two people who had just gotten out of the car.
"Hey, Boss Zhao, I heard that you are interested in my goods?" The wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, and the man grinned, revealing his sallow front teeth.
"It's not that I'm interested, it's this big shot." As he spoke, Zhao Chenwu looked at Jiang Chen and introduced him casually, "The marshal of the military government in the Sixth District, Jiang Chen."
"It's actually Marshal Jiang? I'm glad to meet you." There was obvious surprise on the man's face. He quickly reached out his hand to shake Jiang Chen's hand and introduced himself at the same time, "I am Hu Youde, a businessman from Su City. , Boss Yangjiang has been famous for a long time.”
Deceiving? What a good name.
"Do you know me?" Jiang Chen let go of his hand and asked slightly surprised.
"Hehe, Boss Jiang is joking. How many businessmen who often go to this area don't know you?" Hu Youde touched his dirty nose and said with a smile.
"Since you recognize it, I think you should understand who should not be fooled." Zhao Chenwu looked at Hu Youde with a half-smile and said.
"Ahem, of course, even if I had a hundred courages, I wouldn't dare to fool Boss Jiang. But with Boss Jiang's reputation, he shouldn't be able to do things like credit, right?" Hu Youde's pair of cloudy eyes rolled. Turn, he said tentatively.
Now that the Sixth District is not ruled by a committee of ten, dealing with a dictator is somewhat worrying for these powerless businessmen. If Jiang Chen swallowed his goods and didn't pay, then he really wouldn't have any reason to reason.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen laughed twice and waved his hands.
"Don't worry, it's absolutely impossible for me to do that kind of thing without paying for something. Just take me to see the goods."
After receiving Jiang Chen's promise, Hu Youde immediately laughed happily and bowed in an exaggerated manner.
"Thank you, Marshal Jiang. I will take you to see the goods right now."
With that said, Hu Youde turned around and walked towards the warehouse first.
"Do you need me to accompany you to look at the goods?" Zhao Chenwu looked at Jiang Chen and asked.
"No, I'll just go and see for myself."
"Okay, I'll go back first... By the way, this guy is very cunning, don't be fooled by him. Just go to hell when bargaining, he's already here for this batch of goods After stopping for almost half a month, he still had to sell it even at a loss."
Hearing Zhao Chenwu's words, Jiang Chen showed a somewhat puzzled expression.
"Is it difficult to sell arms here?"
Hearing this, Zhao Chenwu shook his head.
"The market is already saturated, and there are only so many people. And as factories and small workshops continue to emerge, I'm afraid this saturation will become the norm. Not to mention businessmen from Sioux City, even the local military factory in the Sixth Block, They have to start worrying about sales... Three months ago, this was unimaginable."
At that time, everyone had a surplus of Yajing in their hands, and the rise in living standards also rekindled the desire of the survivors to hunt Yajing. As a result, those mercenary groups and solo travelers who were eager to replace their equipment even lined up at the entrance of the military factory. Arms dealers who are not worried about sales are naturally racking their brains to add production lines and expand production.
But after all, everyone only has two hands, and weapons and equipment are not so easily damaged. When this "big change" trend passes, those overproduced weapons will naturally be piled up in warehouses and cannot be sold.
Overcapacity is a real problem.
If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that after a short period of prosperity, those emerging factories and small workshops will fall into a wave of bankruptcy. It's not just the arms industry. With the gradual increase in the production capacity of the Sixth District, other industries will have similar problems sooner or later.
Looking at the ragged back, Jiang Chen couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression on his face. (.)
