Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 265 Divide the benefits
In this plan to conquer the city of steel, it has to be said that Cheng Yanqiu and his elite team played a vital role, and as a reward, the Cheng consortium will replace Lei Kui and the forces behind him and become a consortium Agent of the Alliance in the City of Steel.

The City of Steel is a huge cake, and what is commendable is that this cake has not been divided by many interest groups—the mutual aid associations in the past used powerful force and fanatical beliefs to successfully divide those who vainly wanted to be on this cake. All the forces that cut off a piece were driven out, wanting to monopolize the entire city of steel.

It cannot be said that the Mutual Aid Association's approach is wrong, but the problem is that, as the top managers, those cardinals are still too short-sighted. After incorporating the entire military port area into the territory of Steel City, they have already entered Enjoy the point where you don't want to make progress.

Even, in order to obtain greater rights and freedom, they joined forces and tried to secretly execute the archbishop who founded the mutual aid society.

But this temporary cooperation disintegrated after the absence of the archbishop—afterwards, although the entire Steel City seemed to be still under the control of the Mutual Aid Society, anyone with a brain could see that the four cardinals occupied the There are four territories in the military port area. There are clear dividing lines between the four areas, and there is a feeling of occupying the mountain as king.

In this way, even if there is no invasion of foreign forces, the civil war of the Mutual Aid Association will break out at some time.

Unlike those leaders who controlled the big consortia, these cardinals were once ordinary people, and their status limited their horizons.

After the rapid expansion and expansion in the initial stage, the city of steel has fallen into a stage of stagnant development and stagnation. They continue to issue various prohibitions and restrictions, wanting to turn the entire city into their own back garden, and to make the people in the city 10,000+ players have become pawns at their mercy, but they forget that this is the wasteland world.

The rules of the wasteland world are very cruel, and the ever-escalating difficulty of the game and the ever-increasing mutant creatures have also made players realize that living in this land is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat—no, no , this is far more than just retreating. If you can't adapt to the environment, the only ending is death.

Other cities are trying to find ways to expand their territory, open factories, and recruit new pioneers and soldiers in large numbers, while the managers of mutual aid associations are thinking every day about how to make their lives more comfortable and how to make the following The people are even more desperate.

The reason why the city of steel became so powerful is entirely because it occupies the unique geographical location of the military port area. If it is placed on a wasteland with no resources, even if a large settlement of tens of thousands of people is established, I'm afraid that once a medium-scale beast tide or a sea of ​​corpses occurs, this city will cease to exist.

Therefore, the first thing Qi Lin has to do is to develop the industry in the city-the military port area has complete arsenals, research institutes, food factories and other facilities left over from the old era, but due to the lack of attention of the high-level mutual aid association , The production capacity of these facilities is less than one-tenth of the old era.

In exchange, Qi Lin will transfer half of the operating rights of these factories to Cheng's consortium, and Cheng's consortium will be responsible for providing the city of steel with production materials, technology and professional management personnel for a fee.

In addition, the trade window, which has been strictly guarded by the Mutual Aid Association before, will also be open to the Cheng Consortium. The Cheng Consortium can open shops, factories, etc. in the City of Steel, and only need to pay a tax rate of 30.00% on profits.

Note that it is the tax rate of profit - while the tax collected by the Mutual Aid Association on outsiders before is 40.00% of the turnover, which means that if the profit of the sold item is below 40.00%, the more it is sold, the merchant will lose more more and more.

With such a heavy tax, the prices of items sold by foreign merchants have to be raised. However, compared with merchants within the mutual aid association, except for a few rare items, most of the commodities are hardly competitive.

As for other consortiums who want to do business in the city of steel, they can only take the route of the Cheng's consortium. In the process, they can bring a lot of benefits to the Cheng's consortium.

On the other hand, Cheng's consortium will provide Qi Lin with the urgently needed supplies such as serum, steel, fuel, etc. at the internal cost price, and will also send a group of professional instructors to join the training camp of the Templars. , using the standards and training methods of the consortium's private army to train those Templars into qualified fighters.

……

"I think, as a defense force for stores and factories, we still need to send a 1000-strong army to the City of Steel, and the City of Steel will provide a camp for this force for free," Cheng Yanqiu said.

"No, up to 60.00 people. The rent of the resident in the city is charged at [-]% of the land rent in the commercial area, and heavy equipment such as power armor, tanks, and armored vehicles are not allowed. Once encountering foreign enemies, the command power will be temporarily handed over during the defense. In the hands of my people." Qi Lin shook his head repeatedly and said.

"9527, you are going too far! 800 people! Ten light power armors, five light armored vehicles, temporary command authority can be given to you during the defense, but my commander can also decide whether to obey your orders according to his own judgment Commander, in addition, the garrison must be free! This is just an army camp, how can the price be calculated at 60.00% of the commercial area of ​​the bustling road?" Cheng Yanqiu said quickly, the friendship between the two belongs to the friendship, but brothers have to settle accounts clearly , in this case, it is natural to find a way to get the greatest benefit for yourself.

"Want a free residence? Yes, you can choose any hill outside the city, and I will never charge you a penny—"

"Outside the city? Yes, the upper limit of the number of garrison troops is [-], otherwise we won't talk about it!"

While the two were still talking and bargaining, a templar hurried over. Qi Lin remembered this guy. He was the most active one and the first one to "copy" the cardinal's mansion. One of a group of Templars who turned against the water.

As one of the "agents" appointed by Qi Lin, his task is to lead the team to maintain order in the city, and by the way, temporarily establish a line of defense around the periphery of the city of steel to prevent some caring people who have watched the whole battle from Sneak in.

This guy rushed over in a hurry, did something happen again?

"What's the matter, talk slowly." Qi Lin threw a bottle of water in his backpack.

The man took the water, took a big gulp first, and then said: "We found the revived Fog-Eyed Knight Commander!"
