Xue Yi, the manager of Manhai Green Tower Company, is a professional "subcontractor". To do this job, he only needs two conditions: The first is naturally higher authority. The higher the network authority you have, the more people you can contact. secondly, you must be able to speak well, grab orders, and sign orders. This is the basis of trading.
However, if you want to do this job well, there are more requirements.
Every morning, Xue Yi would get up very early, drink a drink, eat something, and then start accessing the Internet, or rent an energy screen at home and enter the green tower, patrolling floor by floor, browsing as many pages as possible.
Looking through energy screens is a very particular job. People who don't understand the secrets will waste a lot of time and see very few things. However, a "subcontractor" who is good at analyzing and summarizing can read more than 100,000 copies a day. The order is equivalent to the capacity of 100 ordinary people.
Xue Yi reads 5,000 orders each day at breakfast, lunch and dinner parties. If there is no suitable choice, he will continue to read. He has always been very proud of his business ability. In Xue Yi's opinion, with only 15,000 orders, he can understand the price and demand trends of commodities every day.
Just like now, in places above the 6th floor (level 19 network authority) of the Green Tower, the prices of various military supplies were suddenly increased. Xue Yi knew that it was said that more than a dozen planes were involved in the war. It is said that the Rongguang family is involved behind the scenes - although it is just hearsay, the Green Tower represents more than 10% of the transaction volume in the entire plane world. The transactions here are enough to explain the situation.
A dozen planes are not enough to drive up the price of military supplies in the entire Green Tower.
Xue Yizheng was thinking this, and the magnetic card suddenly came to mind. He quickly rubbed his face, put on a smile, and then pressed the answer button.
What appeared on the energy screen was a young and strong face, with black skin, curly hair, and strong muscles, all indicating his identity, the ruler of the Scorpio plane, the Kalbama family.
“Mr. Kalbama, it’s great to receive your message again.” The heir to the throne has considerable authority in the level 17 Scorpio plane, and his order is a value in itself.
Sissoko's face was solemn, and he went straight to the point without any pleasantries: "Xue Yi, I know you have relationships with many subcontracting companies, so I want to place an order, a big order."
"my pleasure."
"We need to purchase 4 million swift tigers and 100 million animals above grade 8. How long will it take for you to do it?" Prince Kalbama's voice was serious.
Xue Yi blinked his eyes and thought actively: Swift Tiger is a speed and agility mount that contains tiger genes, but does not limit the specific genetic map. This is rare in the standard army, because different creatures have different food intakes. The nutrients added to them are also different, which can create logistical difficulties. But the number of 4 million is not too much. The huge Scorpio plane will not be stingy to this extent. In other words, they must have strict time requirements. Similarly, level 8 animals are a bit low for the level 17 Scorpio plane. Ordinary civilians should not be able to eat them. So, anyone who eats these 100 million animals will not be a Scorpio. It's a person from another plane.
After understanding these two points, Kalbama's purpose is already clear. Super mercenaries. Only super mercenaries need mounts and require a lot of logistics. If they are super mercenaries, they should have fixed standard mounts. Level 4 mercenaries—the value of these cannon fodder is not even enough for the commander to consider mounts that are more expensive than them.
Xue Yi licked his front teeth with his tongue and pretended to be mumbling: "Mr. Kalbama, I can provide 800,000 swift tigers every five days, as well as 10 million animals with quality 8 or above."
If his guess is true, Kalbama should be more concerned about the time of gathering troops, and installment delivery should be a cheap and high-quality solution.
Sissoko nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then just fill in the order. I didn't add the price above. You can write it yourself."
After speaking, Sissoko sent over the signed order.
Xue Yi licked his big teeth again and suppressed his overflowing smile. After Sissoko turned off the energy screen, he jumped up, beat his chest with his hands and roared.
An order without a price is the favorite thing of "subcontractors" - usually it only means one thing, the employer does not care about the price and at the same time has huge power.
Xue Yi would not fill in an astronomical figure casually, but he would definitely choose the highest price to fill it in, and Sissoko would obviously recognize this figure.
"The base price of each swift tiger is 000 hot laps. Depending on the grade, the lowest level of the swift tiger is level 0. Even 10,000 hot laps, or 10,000 hot laps is pretty good. For every 100 level 8 animals The price should be above 4,000 yuan, maybe 10,000 yuan," Xue Yi said to himself, laughing again. This transaction can at least make him 00% profit.
Smiling, Xue Yi slowly stopped again, sighed, and sat on the floor regardless of his appearance. He was the only one in this office, and practitioners were not allowed in.
"If the Kalbama family wants to go to war, they will never use super mercenaries unless they invade other small planes." Xue Yi likes to talk to himself when he is alone, which helps him understand Follow the train of thought, and for a "subcontractor", nothing is more important than clarifying the train of thought.
Xue Yi spoke very slowly. After that, he said negatively: "It's impossible. It doesn't take hundreds of thousands of people to invade a small plane. Moreover, it must be well prepared. Why is it necessary to be in such a hurry..." Thinking of the recent increase in military supplies, Xue Yi licked his front teeth, bit his lips and said, "Unless it is loaned to other planes, or donated to high-level planes."
Only if you use it for others, you will be stingy and nervous.
Having said this, Xue Yi jumped up and instantly got into his network connection device.
As soon as he entered, Xue Yi hurriedly clicked on the Green Tower, and immediately logged into the 10th floor, and then instantly opened the energy screen. He was not a traveler, so he rented the traveler package service provided by some companies, but he had level 15 His network authority is also quite powerful in the entire power circle of the T plane.
The green tower was still so lush. Xue Yi stood at the door, staring at the energy screen: searching for swift mounts. There was an order, but no supply order. Xue Yi was a little nervous, but this was also As expected, if the source of goods can be easily found, why should Kalbama ask "subcontractors" for help.
Xue Yi calmed down and applied, then searched for genetic blueprints again, but still found nothing.
"It seems that this battle has been fought." Xue Yi comforted himself. In the era of planes, it affects the whole body, and there are many laxities in the coming and going of materials. In addition to the firmness of high-level planes in facing technical barriers and trade protection Outside of policies, most planes are exposed to the guns of free trade.
Theoretically, a businessman with sufficient liquidity can completely destroy a plane using commercial means, whether it is in terms of the financial system or basic living supplies.
Xue Yi once again searched for food animals above level 8, with standard weight (note).
"Still not." Xue Yi turned off the energy screen with a little disappointment. News spread quickly on the Internet, not to mention that the 10th floor was not considered a high-level one, so such a result was acceptable. He raised his head and looked at the vague ceiling above, simulating the chirping of birds in his hometown, and thought: It seems that he can only subcontract again.
The Green Tower is a very realistic exchange. The higher-end items are sold on the higher floors, while the orders for lower-level items are larger on the higher floors.
From the upper floors of the Green Tower, you can see the transactions at the lower floors of the Green Tower. Many "subcontractors" are engaged in splitting large orders. For example, for the same mount, an order on the 10th floor may only have hundreds of thousands. , or 1 million Swift Tigers, but on the 11th floor, the number of this order may increase to 10 million, and on the 1st floor, it may reach hundreds of millions, or there may simply no longer be orders for such low-level goods.
Even when certain commodities at the lower level are highly speculated, high-level "subcontractors" dare not rush into the unpacking business, because the lower level seems to be booming in business, but maybe 10% of a large order can make the lower level The 10th floor market has become saturated, or 50%, or 80%, so what difference does it make? They don’t need these products themselves, and if they don’t find a buyer in a hurry, there will be a lot of trouble.
However, today's situation seemed a bit special. Xue Yi habitually looked for Najibullah, the "subcontractor" he often contacted. He was a level 4 traveler who had been in the Green Tower for more than 50 years and already had a level 1 traveler. With network permissions, he can enter the first floor of the Green Tower—from the perspective of the T plane, this is already quite high-level.
Xue Yi, who was familiar with Najibullah, joked for a while and said: "I received an order for Swift Tiger and animal food with a quality of 8 or above. Can you split it here?"
He is not worried that Najibullah will take away his business. For the first-level subcontractors, they still rely on quantity to sell low-level resources. Just like wholesalers, as long as they can unpack it and get it to themselves, , there will be no problem.
Najibullah smiled strangely and said: "Xue Yi, in fact, I have been paying attention to military supplies below level 15 recently. You see, I have accumulated some supply orders, but I'm afraid they are not enough to give to you. "
Xue Yi understood what he meant. That is to say, people with level 1 or 14 network permissions asked him to unpack. It seemed that there was a demand not only for level 17 planes like the Scorpio plane, but also for other higher-level planes. They also have the same needs.
"What about the higher-level ones?" After all, level 1 or level 1 mercenaries are a minority, and they are also standard armies. Their supply is relatively stable. Only level 1 and level 4 mercenaries are unstable in number. This has caused instability in the logistics price of its equipment.
When there is a war, not only the prices of third- and fourth-level mercenaries skyrocket, but also the prices of low-level food, mounts, and weapons. Relatively speaking, the base of high-level food and mounts is huge because they have to be supplied to civilians for daily use. , the price fluctuation will become smaller.
Xue Yi's idea is that since the Kalbama family can fill orders at will, it doesn't matter if the price is higher.
Unexpectedly, Najibullah still shook his head and said: "Foods at level 6 and below are very scarce."
Just as Xue Yi thought, level 6 food is mainly traded below the first floor. Once the price rises and a large number of orders are received, they are immediately sold out. Even Najibullah needs to order from certain merchants.
A standardized breeding farm requires huge investment and cannot be built easily.
Xue Yi licked his front teeth. He had encountered this situation several times in his subcontracting career, but each time it still made him feel more stressed - although he knew other senior subcontracting merchants, but thinking about it, other The results should be similar.
However, the more in such an environment, the value of subcontractors will become more prominent. If they can easily get the supply order, why would the Kalbama family hand over the order to him? Their demand must be It is limited and lacks sufficient network permissions.
There are many planes with higher-level travelers, but there are very few higher-level network authority holders, because the requirements for the latter and the former are completely different, and travelers and the highest-level network The authority owner is the yardstick for evaluating the level of a plane.
Xue Yi squinted his eyes and thought, if this is the case, he can only place an order directly with the manufacturer, but even if it succeeds, the cost will increase. He was thinking about how to persuade Zainajbullah to unpack some for himself when the energy screen suddenly made a ticking sound.
This usually means that a product of interest has appeared.
Xue Yi turned his head slightly and glanced over, and saw a few huge words on the energy screen: "Rabbit, wolf, and pig, level 6, number 500,000, each 100 is circled with ten thousand heat."
In just an instant, the price soared to 5,000 hot rings per 100 pieces.
"Crazy, crazy, crazy." Xue Yi shouted as he also marked his bid: 5,000 hot rings per 100.

Note: Dadu Weights and Measures Research Council:
Standard weight:
1. In order to ensure the convenience and fairness of transactions, the standard weight is specially defined.
. According to the common size of food livestock (edible organisms), the standard weight is divided into 4 levels. The minimum weight for trading should exceed the standard weight. Among them, the standard weight of the lowest level is about 0.0g, and the standard weight of the highest level is about 8 tons.
.The weight of some special creatures is not included in the standard weight.
4. In principle, a creature should only be included in one standard weight, but in some special cases, a creature can span up to three levels. (To be continued)
