Chapter 227 800 Star Dollars

"Elder Dashang" waited for two days before replying to Cheng Jinzhou. Looking at the message "800 million stars will be received within three days, please confirm within one hour.", it made people smile bitterly.

The expenditure of nearly 300 million taels of silver is not something you can just have.

Cheng Jinzhou rubbed the ring and stood there in a daze.In fact, he has some money in his hands, and the accumulation in the past two months has not been fully used. Let alone three to five million taels of silver. If there is another surprise sale, get some cheap grains, sugar, etc., and exchange them with sea merchants, 50 million Two denarii is fine.But in any case, 100 million taels of silver was difficult for Cheng Jinzhou to raise in the short term. Although he had already considered the risk in this regard, he did not expect that the other party would have a time limit, especially a very short time limit.

For merchants, grain, salt, cloth and white sugar can basically be regarded as general equivalents, which have the same or similar effects as gold, brass, etc.On the contrary, luxury goods with higher prices, such as medicinal materials, are difficult to exchange in large quantities because they are not easy to sell.In modern financial language, liquidity is too poor.Businessmen will probably not buy materials that are too illiquid, so as not to affect their cash flow.The business summary in the feudal period is not rich enough, but the business experience is enough.

Cheng Jinzhou counted the money he could get, and said to Yisu, "Can I ask the other party for a delay?"

"No." The former customer service Mr. said very directly: "Reputation is very important in the transactions between the Star Alliance. If the transaction cannot be completed on time, it may cause great losses. As far as you are concerned, if the other party fails to deliver to you on time United star array, or star array makes you dissatisfied, what will happen?"

"Then if I confirm that it's not finished?"

"Your evaluation information will be recorded, and a certain amount of Star Alliance points will be deducted from you. At present, it seems that 1000 points are possible." Ys said and added: "Recording evaluation information is a very serious matter. It will affect your development in the Star Alliance."

"Then it's over, let's talk about how I can develop in the Star Alliance. Compared with it, I would rather go home." Cheng Jinzhou snorted.

"Maybe there is no development in 200 years, but you will regret it later." Yisu said lightly, and then said: "Use your contribution point as a mortgage."

"500 contribution points, mortgaging 50 taels of silver is the limit. The rest... uh, you mean Star Alliance points are mortgaging?" Cheng Jinzhou immediately thought: "I have 1300 contribution points, maybe I can receive several million Xingyuan?"

The occasional exploitative activities of the current customer service classmates resulted in the forced increase of Cheng Jinzhou's star alliance points.

Yisu laughed and said, "Of course you can borrow money, but do you think Buddha will lend it to you?"

Cheng Jinzhou suddenly became depressed.It is impossible for the imperial court to give him any more money, and the temple has almost reached its limit.The remaining maritime merchants and commercial firms can't expect too much...

Temporarily unable to think of a result, Cheng Jinzhou thought of a new question, and said, "Will the person who will give me the star array be a certain astromancer from the Xingzhou Astromancer Association?"

The star array is a very professional thing, or a very mysterious thing. It is difficult for Cheng Jinzhou to predict that an alien scientist will focus on research.

Yisu suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Do you think the 'Elder Merchant' will use people to help you with your research?"

"Isn't it?"

"The scientists of the Star Alliance are such a distinguished group, how could they do such a thing for you. For a simple transaction, they will have something like a supercomputer to complete the simulation for you, as long as it can be used, you don't need to worry about it. Or how are they going to be divided into ordinary business and difficult business?"

"Is difficult business the responsibility of real people?"

Yisu said in an interesting voice: "If it's a difficult business, they won't do it given your Star Alliance level. In addition, only you can contact the Star Alliance in this world, and the uniqueness of an agent is a very important right. Of course, there is no guarantee that the customer service will not plug people in privately."

He said the last sentence very calmly, obviously he had done something against the rules.

Cheng Jinzhou thought of some "border crosser" and suddenly lost interest.The former customer service classmate remained silent, leaving him to think for himself.

********
As the in-depth discussions progress, the members of the team become more and more familiar with this method, and the effect is getting better and better.The day after Father Li Zhong asked the church to join, Liao Kai published his new article - "The Progressiveness of Matter".

Compared with the scientists of later generations, the earlier gentlemen were able to name themselves a big article.If it is placed 200 years later, Liao Kai will have to change the name of his article to "Analysis of the Evolution Process of Ferrous Iron to Ferric Iron Under the Influence of Different Temperature and Humidity". A dissertation should be sufficient.

However, on the academic platform of Daxia, Liao Kai's article turned out to have quite good results. Mei Wending placed it before the middle page, at the tenth place in the entire article - in the "Journal of Xia Jing", this article But it is a very particular position. It seems to be at the back, but it is easy to be remembered by people, so it often places less controversial innovative articles...

In fact, "Journal of Xia Jing" has dozens of articles per month, and it is a very honorable thing to be published on it.If there are statistics on the impact factor, its value can basically be more than 2. According to the level of Chinese professors, an impact factor of 2 points is enough for 10 years.

Liao Kai was obviously also very happy. He is a one-star warlock. Before that, it was already very difficult to only publish articles in the "Acta Alchemy".If Daxia's journals are divided into world-level, national-level and provincial-level, "Acta Alchemy" can be regarded as a very professional national-level journal.Liao Kaixing's title of warlock is not a coincidence.

However, the meaning of publishing an article in "Journal of Xia Jing" is completely different.Because the articles of "Xiajing Journal" will be spread to all areas with the Astromancer Association through the communication star array. Although the speed is very slow, it is spreading after all. This not only means that the contribution points may increase even more, It also means that the selection criteria of "Journal of Xia Jing" are more stringent.

Of course, Cheng Jinzhou's articles can basically be published in "Journal of Xia Jing".It is fair to say that if the articles of Gauss and Leibniz are plagiarized, the results can only be exposed in ordinary journals, and the two plagiarized people will crawl out of their graves when they know about it.

Liao Kai's success has largely affected the perception of the team among the star warlocks, especially the new team organized by Cheng Jinzhou.Just like the seminar that Xiao Cheng participated in before, the Astromancer Association usually holds seminars regularly, but due to the strict hierarchy, it is not so much a seminar as a "show off meeting" for later generations—— Everyone in the group will publicize their latest achievements on the stage, and other astrologists will ask a few questions if they are interested. If there is no deep hatred, they will probably not say a word.Later, the so-called international meeting evolved into a class meeting, just like the current Astromancer Association, only veteran-level authoritative figures would express their opinions and speak, and the others mainly filled the scene, wasting time in vain.

However, regular astromancers are actually pretty much up for discussion.Just like children in their school days, children who study hard and do not communicate with others can usually only hang in the middle of the class, and those who know how to ask questions and solve them are often at the forefront of the class.Even at the position of Newton and Fermat, the most common thing they do is to send letters to their friends, describing their recent work, discoveries and questions...

In the absence of a suitable discussion mechanism, the method of the astrologists is to form a mutual aid group, such as the Cao Feng star warlock and the Jinxi star warlock.But not every astromancer can find a good friend, or an astromancer with the same research direction as himself.

When Father Li Zhong publicized the news of joining Cheng Jinzhou's team to the astrologists in the church, the popularity was beyond his expectation.

For astromancers who prioritize personal will, improving their own abilities is definitely superior to other considerations.

******
Cheng Jinzhou didn't have much time to think about it, and decisively confirmed the request of the "elderly businessman".In any case, the United Star Array can only be completed by the other party, and there is always a way to raise money.

When peaceful and just methods cannot guarantee funds, Cheng Jinzhou is ready to resort to robbery again.Speaking of which, he was not a law-abiding citizen.

The country looks down on obeying the law, and naturally some people will follow the country's opinions.

At least as far as Cheng Jinzhou knew, Shaonan City, as the granary of the Southwest, could basically meet the requirements of food and other materials stored.The problem now is that the imperial court has money and cannot give it to him, so it is necessary to find an astromancer who can help, so as not to fight alone.

Lu Xu immediately became Xiao Cheng's first choice.

While notifying his father in the form of a letter, he asked him to pay attention to the stock situation of all the warehouses around the capital, while rushing to the outer peninsula.

The royal family's clean-up of the warehouse of the household department was convenient for him at this time.If in the past, due to the deficit of officials, [-]% of the treasury on the books would probably be only [-] to [-]%. Although there is not much increase in supplies, at least the figures on the books seem to be true and reliable.

All Cheng Jinzhou has to do is to connect valuable warehouses to determine where to rob.

This time, he didn't consider at all that he might really anger fourth-level star warlock Yang Zhanquan.

Or in his subconscious mind, Yang Zhanquan has already been listed on the list to be confronted.
