Until now, there was an additional fee of one percent when settling with chips.

The money was paid to Lynch.

Slem's annual turnover is more than 100 billion, and for just one percent of the fee, Lynch can make more than a billion!

But now that he has made some small changes, the chips will inevitably be eliminated in the future. He plans to sell the chip company to the industry committee and then launch a system that directly swipes letters of credit on the gambling table.

In this way, the chip company can sell a sum of money, and with the new settlement fee of 3.5%, the benefits he can take from Slem every year will become even more!

Of course, he didn't actually open his mouth in a real sense. For the casino operators here, their costs are actually not high.

So even if they give Lynch an extra 2.5%, they still have a very sufficient profit margin.

The executive chairman thought for a while and carefully calculated what three and a half percent minus one percent would be.

"I need to discuss it with everyone. If it were me, I could promise you now, but this matter is not just my business."

Lynch expressed his understanding and mentioned by the way, "I don't have much energy to manage Slem, including the paradise, so I plan to sell the chip company."

The executive chairman was stunned for a moment. Chip companies have always been an unavoidable part of Slem's wealth myth.

You don't have to do anything, there is no risk, you can take away a large amount of money every year, and honestly if it is not the stockholder, it is Lynch.

Any other person would be lying on the bottom of the sea by now.

If such a company is sold, based on the purchasing power of the federal sole before inflation, even if it costs 5 billion, it will definitely make a profit without losing money.

The expected income in five years, the next step is pure profit!

But soon the CEO realized that the reason why Lynch sold the chip company was probably related to the letter of credit.

"Mr. Lynch, I have been watching several TV series related to shelters recently, as well as some documentaries about the No. 1 North Shelter."

"I noticed a detail in these TV dramas and documentaries that letter of credit transactions are very convenient."

"So is there a possibility that it will become... easier to operate in the future?"

Nowadays, credit point transactions still need to be carried out on a trading machine, or to go to a specialized wealth bank to exchange currency. But the executive president always feels that the use of letters of credit will be very convenient in the future.

For example, like the "Global Boy" used in a certain TV series, a thing that looks like a large arm guard and a personal electronic information processor can handle numerous private messages very conveniently.

That TV series was really excellent. It mentioned a lot of "near future" concepts, such as handheld electronic payments, which were very technological and seemed to have the basis for their realization.

Lynch did not avoid the question, "You said it was the future."

"It took almost six or seven years for this little thing, the pager, to mature from the time it was established as a project."

"Now we need to condense a more complex mainframe computer into the size of a person's arm, which requires far more technical support than a pager."

"This is actually a gamble. If we can develop it within three to five years, the buyer may suffer some losses. The best case scenario is to protect capital."

"But if we don't develop it within three to five years, and if it takes seven, eight, or ten years, then this is pure profit!"

"My purpose in selling the chip company is simply that I don't want to spend more time on these things. I pay more attention to the development of science."

The executive chairman thought for a moment and asked, "How much are you going to sell for?"

"Nine million credits..."

The executive chairman didn't show much surprise. With Slam's annual turnover of more than 100 billion, this amount of money is actually equivalent to about 4.5 billion to 5 billion before inflation.

As Lynch said, as long as they cannot develop a small portable terminal within five years, then the rest will be pure profit.

Moreover, the chip company has a very close relationship with major casinos. It is best for this special enterprise to be in your own hands.

The executive chairman did not agree or refuse, but said that he would go back and discuss it with everyone. He could not confirm it by himself, and he did not have that much money.

After talking about the important things, naturally the next step is to talk about less serious topics.

The executive chairman is a very talkative person, and he talks about all kinds of interesting things that have happened in Slem in the past two years. It gives people the illusion of watching those things happen with their own eyes!

This is also a very special and valuable talent. If you tell a story well, it will be more convincing when you want to persuade others!

After lunch, Lynch took the car back to the villa, and Noel's wife took the initiative to come over and greet Lynch with her children.

Now she and her children have been living here in Fern. It is too cold in the federal mainland. Although Slem is not hot, at least the temperature is normal.

After she left with her children, Lynch briefly asked about Fern's company's operating conditions——

The brokerage company is not Lynch's property. He only has a small investment, and the main shares are still in the hands of the Green Brothers. Fern is very talented in running these businesses, or in other words, his cleanliness has maintained the "corporate image" very well. Many people know that the prices of the Green Brothers' company are fair, the girls are young and beautiful, and they will not steal things.

This also makes many serious female ticket buyers like to deal with them.

Other companies have recruited many girls for expansion and profit. Some girls' hands and feet are not very clean, and customers' things will be stolen from time to time.

It is not easy to recover it. After all, although this matter is legal in Slem, it is somewhat of a personal issue.

After getting to know the company's operations, Lynch went to Blackstone Security Company. After a brief communication with the company's senior management, he took the train and left Slem.

The train is a circum-equator train - it doesn't actually go around the world, it just goes from the easternmost part of the southern continent to the westernmost part, and then goes some distance south and starts the return journey.

There are almost all equatorial shelters on this route, and in a sense, it can be regarded as "circling the equator".

The train is new. In order to cope with the coming freezing weather, the carriages are very thick, and there are multiple compartments between the outer shell and the interior to keep warm.

The power of the train comes from fuel, coal, wood, and even oil, anything that can be burned can drive it forward.

In addition, the thermal resources generated by combustion are also transported to the compartment through pipelines to recover and utilize thermal resources.

The train is much wider than ordinary trains, and it runs very steadily, and you can't even hear the outside sound.

The speed of the car is not very fast, this is also to prevent accidents and derailment caused by accidents in the Ice Age.

Overall, the ride is very comfortable.

It took almost half a day before the slow train stopped outside Paradise No. 6.

The huge platform will give all passengers who get off the bus a deep shock. This is Lynch's first time coming to No. 6 Paradise. Nick and other designers are waiting for him here.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Nick began to introduce the design of the platform to Lynch.

"At the beginning of the Ice Age, there will be massive snowfall, so our station roof is not designed at a horizontal angle, but at a certain angle."

"There are water spouts and vibrators on it. Once the snow reaches a certain limit, it will automatically vibrate and spray hot water to wash away the snow."

"Going forward from here is the entrance to the base. We have designed a total of more than three steel doors with a thickness of over 40 centimeters, which can completely separate the inside of the base from the outside."

"At the same time, we have arranged at least twenty-four concealed ventilation vents in the surrounding areas to ensure air circulation inside the base..."

Going down the elevator, a wave of heat surged up from below. When you walked into a door from the elevator, your entire sight suddenly opened up!

The sun hangs high in the sky, the rustling of the waves and the occasional chirping of birds make everyone feel like they have returned to the midsummer many years ago!

At the entrance to the beach, a slogan "Welcome to Paradise Six!" was placed there, and some people became a little excited.

Beach, waves, sun!

Is there a more perfect setting than this?

In a bad Ice Age setting?

Think of those young and beautiful girls wearing eye-catching swimsuits running on the beach and playing games, maybe this is life!

Just when everyone was still sighing at the scenery here, a bus stopped in front of them.

"This is the first stop to enter the shelter. Below it is actually the base's daily drinking water reservoir. We are still some distance away from the real first level."

"Placing it here is also based on the experience we gained through designing local shelters. The natural water pressure of the reservoir can deliver water to every corner of the base more quickly."

"Unlike in the mainland, you still need to use water pumps to pressurize the water to deliver water."

"You may not feel there is any problem at ordinary times, but once a fire breaks out and the power grid is disconnected, it will cause a fatal disaster to the shelter!"

"So when designing here, we placed the reservoir slightly higher than the first floor."

"Even if the power to the shelter is cut off due to a fire, as long as the valve is opened, the water pressure will be able to send water there!"

"Now we need to get to the actual first level, which is about ten minutes away."

"We need its help. The bus will also be one of the main means of transportation in Paradise No. 6!"

Looking at the island-style bus, the group got on the bus with ease and joy.

The old-school road and beach music was playing on the radio, coupled with the waves in the ears, it seemed that everyone was relaxing at this moment...
