Jiang Sui didn't know what the word "study" meant to a man who could hardly write his own name well, but he was curious about the merchant ships passing by.
The merchant ships from the empire that can sail in the interstellar space must be loaded with valuable goods. I am definitely not able to purchase them on a large scale as a broken ball.
But if you can just buy a certain key technology and reverse engineer it after seizing the reverse research institute, it will be a sure-profit deal.
As for the possibility that the other party came to rob, Jiang Sui did not consider it at all - from a profit perspective, the current output of Tianhai Star is nothing to be coveted, and it may not be possible to afford it even if the entire planet is sold. A cargo of goods.
From a rational perspective, using force against a local employee appointed by the empire while still within the imperial system is tantamount to rebellion and is an act that is absolutely seeking death.
The benefits and risks are seriously unequal, and profit-seeking businessmen will definitely not make such a choice.
After comprehensive consideration, Jiang Sui chose "Contact" in the system panel.
[You choose to respond to the merchant ship... Since the merchant ship is just passing by and is not within the sphere of influence of the Tianhai Star District, your decision will cost 0 points of influence. Do you want to continue? 】
[Current influence: 214 (+2 per month)]
[Please make a decision within three days]
Stopping merchant ships requires 0 points of influence... Does this sentence mean anything?
Jiang Sui was stunned for a moment, and then he guessed the role of influence.
If Jiang Sui wanted to influence some forces that were not legally under the jurisdiction of the Tianhai Star District and had no obligations to the Governor, he would need to consume his influence.
The smaller the matter, the lower the influence consumed, and it may even be like this time, not even consumed at all.
"No wonder all my decisions on the planet do not consume influence..." Jiang Sui nodded and chose the option of contacting the merchant ship.
Anyway, contacting the merchant ship consumes nothing.
[Contacting, the other party will establish a call with you within 3 hours]
More than ten minutes later, an agent from the Sky Eye hurried back with a serious look on his face: "Mr. Governor... there was a message from the public channel just now. It was a merchant ship from a small chamber of commerce. Do you need to answer it? "
"Just transfer it to my holographic projector for me." Jiang Sui said, "In the future, just call and report such unimportant matters. If I'm not here, report it to Gu Qinghuan."
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Governor." The agent immediately bowed his head and apologized.
"Don't be nervous, this is not a blame." Jiang Sui reached out and pressed the answer button, while waving his hand to let the agent continue his work.
As soon as the agent left the office, a tall, thin man with a brightly colored tie around his neck appeared in front of him. He looked at Jiang Sui with a smile, and his tone sounded quite respectful: "The distinguished Governor of Tianhai Star Region Sir, do you have any tasks to give me during your busy schedule?"
"Oh, I forgot to mention...just call me Mai Nan!"
As expected of a businessman, even in such a poor place, his outward attitude is very good.
Jiang Sui knocked on the table: "You should have seen this place before. Just tell me, bring me some products or goods that Tianhaixing can currently afford, and show them to me."
"Hey, Lord Governor, you are just joking." Mai Nan laughed mysteriously, "Your star sector is very valuable... It mainly depends on how you are willing to use it."
Jiang Sui's expression remained unchanged: "What about?"
"If you are willing to sell the long-term mining rights or operating rights of a certain area of the planet, you can actually get many, many things in exchange."
Long-term operating rights... isn't that equivalent to ceding land in exchange for money, or even recognizing a state within a state?
After finally wiping out the gerbil gang, a new gerbil gang came back?
Jiang Sui would rather develop slower than do this kind of digging for his own foundation. He decisively refused: "I can only provide ready-made materials, and I will not sell anything else."
Mai Nan showed a regretful expression: "Then there are very few things you can buy... Do you really not think about it at all?"
"If there's nothing I can buy, forget it." Jiang Sui's interest waned, and he reached out to turn off the communication device, "Remember, register at the Governor's Mansion before leaving."
Even in the border star field, as long as it is still within the empire's territory, this necessary registration procedure is indispensable.
As for shopping, Jiang Sui came here with the mentality of picking up missing items. If he couldn't find them, it wouldn't be a big deal.
"Mr. Governor, wait a minute!" Mai Nan quickly stopped him, "I said 'very few', not none!"
Jiang Sui paused his hand and asked, "Is there really one?"
"Yes, yes! You are lucky this time." Mai Nan explained, "Recently, a civil engineering company went bankrupt, and they owed us money. Unfortunately, after checking the assets, I was only given a pile of garbage. If If they still can’t be disposed of, I’ll have to find a place to sell these things as scrap metal…”
As if he realized that he had said something wrong, he quickly added: "Mr. Governor, please don't get me wrong, the quality of these things is of good quality. I mean, compared to the payment they owe us, absolutely!"
Jiang Sui paid no attention to these minutiae: "What is it specifically? Please introduce it to me."
Civil Engineering... Judging from the name, it sounds like a very good thing.
The Governor's Mansion now faces a bigger problem - the construction of many projects takes a lot of time, such as the space launch base. Even if the research is completed, it will take at least a year to build it.
Products that can shorten construction time are very valuable to the current Governor's District.
"It is a 3D printer that comes with many civil construction blueprints." Mai Nan immediately got into the mood as soon as he introduced the product. "Suppose you want to build a hospital, you only need to lay the foundation according to the blueprint requirements and give this 3D printer The printer puts in the corresponding construction raw materials and it can print out the prefabricated panels of a standard hospital at high speed. In the end, you only need to transport these prefabricated panels to the foundation and assemble them to complete the project, which saves time and effort!"
"If you have your own needs, you can also design your own blueprint, but the safety of the building may not be guaranteed."
"Of course... you can also order a blueprint design service package from us!"
After saying that, Mai Nan waited expectantly for a reply.
Jiang Sui was indeed moved.
If you have a blueprint, put in the corresponding building materials and you can print out a prefabricated board...
This thing is very useful and can greatly save construction time!
"I'm a little surprised." Jiang Sui was cautious and did not rush to ask the price. "This thing is quite useful. Even if it is not used in the empire, there should be a market in other places. It will not cause the production company to go bankrupt, right?"
Is there any flaw in quality?
"Well, the market is indeed huge, and the quality can't be said about..." Mai Nan scratched his head, "But they ignored a very serious problem - as long as the blueprint is designed, this 3D printer can perfectly print itself. print it out."
"They originally expected customers to order 100 units, but the customer only ordered 1 unit. The remaining 99 units can be solved perfectly at low cost by printing."
"Buying one unit means buying countless units. No matter how big the market is, customers will produce and sell it themselves, so we can only close down."
Jiang Sui almost couldn't control the expression on his face: "..."
ps: Please read it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It’s just the last two days. Don’t keep it. Please, thank you. The second chapter will be later and I’m still writing it.
