"Are you talking about Mars colonization?"
The Old King's voice was filled with doubt: "Conditions at the Mars Base are very harsh. They can't even achieve self-sufficiency in food, lack air, and heavily rely on cross-border transport."
"First, we exclude ordinary humans, leaving only chanical Lifeforms and Guangna Species. More than 100,000 Light Seeds, just to obtain a shabby house at the Mars Base. This kind of trade... I don't understand. Can this business really work?"
Zhou Yi thought to himself: the Old King is being too honest.
The other party is good at technology and projects, but it's evident they are not cut out for peripheral developnt and cannot understand market demand.
But that's normal.
The Old King is far above, ruling the entire Star Core Matrix. The environnt it inhabits is without any particular pressure and crisis, focused on developing space resources, making it hard to empathize with the plight of life on the ground.
"Respected Old King."
Zhou Yi remained respectful and polite towards this forr leader who resisted the Heavenly People: "As far as I know, there are tens of thousands of people on the Forbidden Continent. Most of them are desperados, but in Zone 7, Segnt 16, a lot of real estate belongs to various sea lords and even governors. The Heavenly Kingdom has also bought a lot of land there."
"The reason is simple: the Forbidden Continent cannot be observed from the outside, and the Heavenly People cannot set foot there. In this world, it's a hidden and safe backyard."
"In life, it's inevitable to encounter so people you don't want to provoke, problems you can't solve, or sudden disasters. At this ti, you need a way out. In the past, that way out was the Forbidden Continent, now, it can be the Mars Base."
"The Mars Base is far from Earth, the terrain is complex, and it's even safer."
"To my knowledge, Mars is not ruled by the Heavenly People either, but is the territory of the Golden Elephant Nomads, so it is also difficult for the Heavenly People to set foot there."
The Old King took so ti to digest this information.
It said: "Your perspective has so rit."
"The energy density on Mars is 9 tis that of Earth, Guangna Species will grow faster there, and chanical Lifeforms will prefer such an environnt. As long as they remain within the Mars Base area, they won't be affected by local disasters."
"However, the material conditions there are very poor, lacking necessary infrastructure. There are no repair shops, hospitals, or construction factories. Existing building standards would collapse under the high pressure there. If you're willing to bring the Maria Hospital over, I believe this idea is indeed feasible."
"…"
Zhou Yi realized the other party misunderstood.
He explained: "The important thing is having one more way out."
"The more resources they have, the more they fear losing them. This applies to entities like the Skywalkers and sea lords."
"Respected Old King, they don't have the infinite space to explore and move around like you do. They are trapped on the surface, with no autonomy until they reach the Light Core Body stage."
Zhou Yi said seriously: "The Forbidden Continent represents the present. Zone 7, Segnt 16 has little room for further expansion. Mars represents the future, the entire planet's land is developable."
"What we are selling is not just a piece of land, a house, but hope."
Mars represents hope.
It is the freedom and possibility away from the Heavenly People's rule.
Zhou Yi was sure that the rulers of various regions would understand this.
If blood descendants are the continuation of the individual, then the Mars Base is the Spark for preserving their resources and power.
Only then did the Old King understand the significance.
"It seems I've indeed been away from the ground for too long, making it hard to understand the desires and thoughts of ground-based life."
It acknowledged its weakness.
"Haven't you already started to change actively, respected Old King?"
Zhou Yi smiled: "Developing satellite routers, deepening connections with ground areas. Further promoting the Mars project is also to unite more groups into this strategy."
"No. You're wrong."
The Old King corrected: "The satellite routers are just to make money."
"The Mars project requires a lot of money, and the tourism business is also to earn Light Seeds. I need at least tens of billions of Light Seeds to push the Mars project into the next phase. I didn't intend to deepen the connection with the ground, this is the truth. Everything is for the arrival of the Great Cosmic Sailing Era, to break through the existing space and resource constraints."
Its honesty made Zhou Yi sowhat helplessly amused.
Perhaps it was this extre focus that allowed the Star Core Matrix to pioneer extraterrestrial bodies.
The two began discussing the pricing issue.
Zhou Yi said: "Refer to the A-class equipnt standard, 200,000 Light Seeds for a Mars household, with an independent house. We'll be responsible for base security and order. They can be transported there anyti through Alonzo, but the travel fee is extra."
But whether this is feasible.
Zhou Yi decided to first conduct an internal survey.
He contacted several partners.
Lady i's feedback was the most direct: "If such a service exists, I will book three quotas, one for myself, Qin Xie, and i You each."
Zhou Yi realized that i You was indeed Lady i's trusted general, even this retreat was arranged for him.
The Gluttonous Duke pondered for a long ti before replying: "I'll buy one first. Although there's nothing to eat there, and I don't visit often, it's best not to miss such an opportunity."
The Rocket Lord answered: "Can't afford it."
Bai Bi said: "The Lord of Soldiers is busy, but he asked to inform you that we will buy 12 quotas. Including Lan Liao, Hong Xing, Qing Zheng... and myself, buying a Mars household for our 12 Weapon Princesses."
The Warlord himself didn't need any.
It seems he is also considering for his subordinates.
Just these internal relations sold 16 quotas, totaling 3.2 million Light Seeds.
The Old King was surprised: "So in demand! I'll announce it now!"
So, on the screens at the Star Axis booth, a new [Mars Immigration] project appeared. It showed that it was jointly initiated by the Star Axis and the Wasteland Developnt Company, providing Mars security guarantees, permanent Mars residency, long-term independent houses, and resident identity confidentiality.
The Star Axis also offered a special insurance service.
If immigrants holding the household encounter force majeure leading to imminent death, the Star Core Matrix would convert them into Data Voters, thus achieving life continuation in the satellite database.
In just one hour, the Star Axis received more than 70 orders, plus the previous internal orders, the revenue reached 17.2 million Light Seeds.
The rulers are very generous where they need to spend money.
"You are truly gifted in generating revenue. I'll continue to send people to deliver the shares as the subsequent orders unfold."
The Old King generously concluded a 50-50 revenue split.
Zhou Yi pocketed 8.6 million Light Seeds.
He received the highest profit so far.
This sudden windfall ca so fiercely that it made him feel sowhat surreal.
...
After wandering around, Zhou Yi finally returned to the company's booth.
At this ti, Red Kestrel had already returned.
"Zhou, I found sothing very special..."
Zhou Yi initiated synchronous consciousness for an encrypted conversation.
A few hours ago, a Human Enhancer ca to the company booth. He had a friend with severe heart damage, currently in a very bad condition, unable to find treatnt elsewhere. He wanted to perform an organ repair surgery at Maria Hospital.
Red Kestrel remotely contacted the dical departnt for his registration.
The visitor nad Song Xian, but the deposit for dical expenses he provided was very special.
Zhou Yi looked at the item in his hand.
It was a ring, inlaid with a lead-gray square stone with black tallic wave patterns.
It was a Stone Shedding from a Building Lifeform.
However, the radiation from this small piece of Stone Shedding was very weak.
Red Kestrel said: "He took out this thing, knowing that we would understand its value, so I went to find out."
"Song Xian revealed that they possess over 1,000 pieces of Stone Shedding. As long as we can cure his friend, they are willing to trade with us."
Hearing this, Zhou Yi's eyes glinted.
The company's current inventory of Stone Shedding was less than 200 pieces, while this group had over 1,000 pieces.
This item is a critical guarantee for the power system.
Especially in places like the Mars Base, where infrastructure is weak, it can be used for continuous power supply. Just a few pieces of Stone Shedding can set up a generator that runs long-term. No need for oil and sugar supplents, takes up little space, and stable power generation.
As Mars immigration gradually starts, the number of electric cats will also increase, and the demand for Stone Shedding will grow.
Zhou Yi asked: "What's their background?"
"Song Xian is very tight-lipped."
Red Kestrel said: "He insists that he is arranging surgery for a friend nad Wu Er."
This is an obvious fake na.
Zhou Yi naturally went along: "We'll wait until this Wu Er cos to Sand Port for treatnt."
...
Zhou Yi reviewed the experiences of the past few hours.
At the exhibition, various forces showcased their specialties, and there were many great things. But the overall atmosphere of the exhibition was too cold and restrained, resembling an open-air museum more than a trade fair.
Everyone displayed their items, waiting for interested buyers, but had too much of an idol burden.
This way of doing business and selling products won't work.
Zhou Yi convened a small eting with Red Kestrel, Qian Su, and Yuan Xiao, deciding to unify their understanding and change their strategy.
Qian Su's eyes shone brightly: "As expected of the chairman, this will definitely work!"
Yuan Xiao hesitated: "But just like this... isn't it a bit..."
Zhou Yi said: "I'm here to sell things! If we don't sell anything, wasn't this trip wasted?"
Yuan Xiao nodded as well.
"Everyone, get ready."
Zhou Yi looked at the company's employees: "Prepare, begin."
Setting an example, he first picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Don't miss it, co and take a look, Wasteland Company's new products are out! If you buy, you won't lose, if you buy, you won't be fooled. It's a big win!"
"Lowest prices online, miss today, wait another year!"
"Exclusive exhibition discount today, 10% off all products, limited-ti offer!"
The entire team began to shout and attract custors.
Everyone around was stunned, their eyes focusing on the Wasteland Company booth, all with disbelief on their faces.
Unbelievable!
The chairman of the Wasteland Developnt Company, such a big figure, was personally calling out to sell!!!
Could it be that Wasteland Company has brought out sothing big?
Everyone nearby quickly rushed over.
