MTL - Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine (Deep Ocean Survival: A Submarine From The Start)-Chapter 127 huge business opportunity

In the smoky study, Meng Lei and Roger sat opposite each other.

The creeper bone ashtray placed on the coffee table is now nearly half full.

In the delicate and expensive metal cigarette case, there are only a few left.

For more than half an hour, Roger will explore several sets of future development plans given by the party, make a detailed introduction and plan for Meng Lei, and clearly explain the advantages and disadvantages of each set of plans.

On the whole, with the strength of the heavy sea fleet at this stage, there are a total of seven low-risk development plans that the exploration faction can give.

These include fish farming and wild hunting in terms of food supply, as well as mineral development and raw material collection in terms of industrial resource supply.

It even includes the salvage of shipwrecks that Meng Lei never thought of, and the recycling and decomposition of waste resources.

These plans given by Roger are quite comprehensive.

Covering everything from life, medical care to industrial production, etc., various types of development channels are available.

I have to say that the Exploratorium is really attentive.

As for the information that Roger is currently sharing for Meng Lei, even on the black market, it may not be easy to obtain.

The area of ​​this alien ocean is too vast. In the more than 200 years since the colonization of the Tia people, even if the exploration has never stopped, even in the shallow area, there are still a large number of sea areas that have not been fully explored. Exploration and collection, in an unknown state.

And some sea areas that have been explored but have not had time to develop, the alliance will not easily announce to the public.

Therefore, the intelligence information Roger obtained from within the alliance is undoubtedly invaluable.

Meng Lei was smoking a cigarette in a dull way, constantly recalling the plans that Roger had just introduced to him, analyzing them one by one, and then screening them one by one.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't sort out the idea.

In fact, these plans are too difficult to choose, except for the Hybrid Hills, which is close to the territory of the Crimson Mining Company, each has a reason that people cannot give up.

If his strength is sufficient, Meng Lei will definitely take all these resource points into his pocket without hesitation.

But he also knew that this idea was too unrealistic.

With the current size of the Chongming Fleet less than a thousand people, even if all the members are gathered together, and another group of people is recruited, it is barely enough for the construction of a small outpost.

Also, it has to be a small site that is not too badly damaged and can be easily repaired and kept up and running.

For example, the D12 outpost that was once encountered during the land reclamation period, the internal function is generally intact, and it can even keep running without maintenance.

In such a place, among the large number of coordinate points given by Roger, there are also quite a few.

At present, the Chongming fleet can only choose an outpost of this size to stand on.

Wanting to eat a fat man in one bite is simply whimsical.

And this situation undoubtedly made Meng Lei, who had a slight difficulty in choosing, in trouble.

In particular, this choice will determine the future development of the fleet, which makes him feel very stressed.

After a long silence, Meng Lei leaned back on the soft sofa, rested his head on the cushion, and focused his gaze on the ceiling solemnly, a bit complicated.

Seeing his tangled expression, Roger didn't bother too much. He took out the pot of Netherworld stinging tea from the Great Void Sea last time, boiled two cups of water, and placed them in front of the two of them.

After a while, the fragrance overflowed.

The fragrant fragrance that is clear and savory goes straight to the heart and spleen, and even the rich tobacco smell can't be concealed, and it lingers between the nostrils.

Roger finally opened his mouth with a chuckle and said:

"Captain Meng, take a sip of tea and relax your mind. The choice of the plan is not in a hurry."

Hearing this, Meng Lei came back to his senses, snuffed out the cigarette in his hand that had burned to the end, and took a sip from the teacup.

Immediately, the fragrance entered his lungs, and Meng Lei only felt that the whole person was in a good mood.

He looked sideways at the tea pot on the table, and couldn't help but say:

"Director Luo, I've made you spend money again. This Netherworld stinging skin tea is priceless. I've been here with you for the past two days, but I've enjoyed it a lot!"

Roger shook his head slightly when he heard the words, and said with a chuckle:

"No matter how precious things are, they only have value when they are used. As far as I am concerned, I can't stand the behavior of those collectors. No matter how good things are in their hands, they are just dusty and meaningless!

So, I am making the most of it! "

Meng Lei nodded in agreement. For Roger's remarks, he expressed his approval with both hands.

In his opinion, good things are meant to be used, and hiding them is a waste.

At this point, the guy Roger is quite right with him.

At this time, Roger also took a sip of tea, and immediately put down the teacup gracefully, and said:

"Though things like Netherworld stinging skin tea are very valuable, and the stable supply has already been cut off, they still appear in auction houses and black markets from time to time. Do you know why?"

Meng Lei's eyes narrowed slightly and he pondered for a while.

After a while, he seemed to realize something, and tentatively said:

"You mean, salvage from a sunken ship? Someone fished it out of an ancient sunken ship?"

"That's right!"

Roger nodded with a smile and affirmed:

"For more than two hundred years, there have been countless shipwrecks buried under this dark ice ocean, and most of them have never been salvaged by any organization for various reasons.

Therefore, the wealth buried in the sunken ship is sometimes even more valuable than a vein or a plain of algae! "

After a pause, Roger added:

"For example, the market price of 10 tons of iron ore is about 15,000 marks, and the value of 10 tons of copper ore is 30,000 marks. If it is manually mined, an individual's daily output will not exceed five tons at most, but purchasing Mining equipment, on the one hand, it takes a lot of time to transfer the equipment, and on the other hand, there is also the risk of exposure of the mining address.

If you want to eliminate hidden dangers, you can only transfer them many times in the middle, and in this way, a lot of time is wasted.

Moreover, the purchase of equipment is not a small amount, and the initial capital investment is another problem. "

Speaking of this, Roger changed the subject and said:

"But to salvage a sunken ship, you only need to install a large deconstructor, and you can also decompose a huge amount of resources without too much investment!

The point is, expensive treasures such as tea, luxury goods and rare metals sealed in storage boxes can often be found on sunken ships!

The price of this pot of tea can often be worth dozens or hundreds of tons of basic minerals!

It is conceivable how much profit this line is making! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei couldn't help but suffocate.

Guarding a ore vein is indeed equivalent to guarding a golden mountain, which can generate a steady stream of output and bring long-term and stable benefits to the organization.

However, as Roger said, the mining of mineral resources requires a lot of investment in the early stage.

The millions of income from the sale of this batch of worm eggs is estimated to be like a waste of water, and there is no way to make too many waves.

Relatively speaking, the investment required for salvaging the sunken ship industry is far less terrifying than the mining industry.

In particular, there may be occasional surprises!

"Director Luo, what do you mean, let me choose the shipwreck cemetery in Blake Strait as the base for early development?"

Meng Lei pondered for a moment, then turned to stare at Roger and asked.

Roger smiled slightly, opened his arms noncommittally, turned his head sideways and said:

"I just stood on an objective standpoint and explained the facts for you, and I did not induce you to make a choice. It is up to you to make a final decision on how to choose."

Having said that, the expression on Roger's face revealed his true thoughts.

This hidden guy seems to be deliberately guiding Meng Lei and personally planning the most suitable development path for him, and he doesn't want Meng Lei to feel that he has accepted his favor.

There is a sense of humor in the cunning, which makes people laugh and cry.

Meng Lei shook his head with a wry smile, suddenly thought of another question and said:

"No, since the Black Strait is a well-known cemetery of shipwrecks, after so many years, the valuables must have been looted long ago. I only started at this time. I'm afraid there is nothing to fish for, right?"

Hearing this, Roger smiled and shook his head. He seemed to have known that Meng Lei would raise this question, and said without hesitation:

"You can rest assured on this point, the stability of the Blake Strait has only appeared in recent years, and the number of sea monsters in that sea area was greater than that of the hydrothermal wasteland!

In addition, there are no large stations and business districts nearby, so few people visit.

Even if there are individual pirate groups trying to try their luck there, most of them have come and gone, and they have not taken advantage of it, but have taken themselves in.

However, the number of sea monsters entrenched there has been declining rapidly in recent years.

Up to now, it can be said that it is quite rare, and it has recovered to below the security warning line. This is the result of long-term research and observation by the alliance and our separate organization. There is absolutely no mistake, and it has never been announced to the public.

In other words, the outside world still doesn't know that the sea area has returned to calm, and no one will compete with you for business. "

After a pause, Roger seemed to think that this statement was not convincing enough, and added:

"In addition, there are no other large-scale organizations and forces near the Black Strait. Even if someone wants to pick up the leak, in terms of efficiency, they will definitely not be able to grab you!

So, as long as you can get ahead of everyone else and succeed in gaining a foothold in the neighborhood.

Then the tens of thousands of sunken ships in the whole sea area are completely in your pocket! "

What Roger said seemed to be very light, and Meng Lei was also heartbroken when he heard it.

However, Meng Lei, who has always been more meticulous, was not blinded by the huge interests in front of him.

He cautiously found some problems in Roger's words.

After a little hesitation, he asked bluntly:

"Director Luo, such a group of precious wealth can be said to be a business of picking up money. Wouldn't you be tempted to separate the organization? Why don't you start directly after discovering it? It doesn't require too much human resources and up-front investment. , you can do it all by yourself?!

Not to mention that the separatist organization is so rich, don't even want the money it picked up for nothing? "

The voice fell, and before Roger could respond, Meng Lei added:

"Also, that sea area has been occupied by a large number of sea monsters in the past 100 years, which proves that it is an active area of ​​sea monsters.

But why have all these sea monsters disappeared without a trace in recent years?

What is the reason for this?

Is it a change in the environment, or is there a more terrifying existence that has killed all those sea monsters?

Have you investigated the specific truth? "

Meng Lei's two questions are very sharp and point to the core. He has no reservations about security issues.

Roger was half leaning on the back of the sofa, his expression relaxed, not stumped by Meng Lei's question.

He once again took out one of the few cigarettes in the metal cigarette case, lit it silently, and said slowly:

"First of all, there are many industries under our separation organization, all of which are long-term and stable sources of income, and we don't care about short-term unstable income.

Secondly, the stability of this sea area has only occurred in recent years. We do not have the time and energy to make adequate preparations to develop this sea area in depth, which requires a lot of time and manpower, and both of these points are is what we lack the most.

Therefore, we can only use this place as the last piece of strategic reserve, or as a supporting resource, and hand it over to your Blue Star players for development. "

After a pause, Roger picked up the teacup to moisten his throat and continued:

"As for your other question, I'm sorry, but I can't give a clear answer.

There are many reasons for the disappearance of sea monsters, such as lack of food, ethnic migration, periodic migration, changes in the living environment, etc. These are all possible.

But we have not collected any evidence so far to determine the specific truth.

But you can rest assured that at least we have not detected the existence of any large life forms in the surrounding waters, and you don't have to worry about the threat from the terrifying siren. "

Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully.

Even though Roger said this, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, and always felt that this matter was strange.

If he really wants to start developing this sea area, he must conduct some on-the-spot exploration in the early stage to gain a deeper understanding of the local situation.

"Okay, here's the plan, I've given it to you,

As for how to choose, you still have a lot of time to consider, and you are not in a hurry to give me a clear answer. "

At this time, Roger stood up, paced the room, and said:

"Your main task now is to get rid of the batch of eggs as soon as possible, and then convert them into cash to purchase various materials and equipment needed to build the outpost.

Even if the initial investment does not require a large shipwreck salvage business, at least you have to prepare two large deconstructors and a tractor with enough displacement.

These things cost a lot of money. "

Hearing this, Meng Lei frowned suspiciously.

The deconstructor he could understand was used to decompose shipwrecks into various metal resources.

But what the **** is a tugboat? Is it possible to drag the sunken ship from the cemetery to the base?

Seeing the doubts on Meng Lei's face, Roger asked with a smile:

"Why, if you don't tow the ship, you can't have people cut the sunken ship to pieces, split it into pieces and transport it back and forth, right? How much work would that be?

Not only a waste of time, but also a waste of energy and human resources.

The key is that the efficiency is too slow, and it is far less cost-effective to directly tow the ship back to the base and decompose it on the spot. "

After a pause, Roger said again:

"In addition, during the salvage process, if some submarines that are not too corroded are found, they can also be brought back to the base shipyard by tugboats.

If it is repaired a little, it can be used for waste.

This will undoubtedly save a lot of money for your heavy fleet!

But if you don't have a tugboat, no matter how many people you have, you can't carry a sunken ship back! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei's eyes suddenly lit up, and his little heart thumped and couldn't stop beating wildly!

Roger's words opened up a new way of thinking for him in an instant.

Before, his thinking only stayed at the height of salvaging the sunken ship and decomposing the material, completely ignoring the value contained in the sunken ship itself!

When Roger said this, he suddenly realized that these sunken ships can still be turned into treasures? !

In this way, the Chongming Fleet will not even need to buy a ship in the future. It is possible to build a large-scale deep-sea fleet simply by tinkering with manual work!

This idea is too important, and the value is far higher than millions of cash!

Meng Lei took a deep breath, looked at Roger with a serious face, and thanked him in a deep voice:

"Thank you, Director Luo, for reminding me to let me stop. After I go back, I will consider it carefully!"

Roger smiled and waved:

"You're welcome. Helping you is helping me. You can get good development, which is also a good thing for the independence of our exploration faction."

After a pause, Roger turned around and stepped in front of Meng Lei, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"We will work together for a long time in the future, and we don't need to use official names everywhere, just get along as friends in private."

Hearing this, Meng Lei immediately put on a smiling face and said:

"Brother Luo, then the younger brother will be under your care from now on."

Roger nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, you are the only support object of our Expedition faction in this channel. From any point of view, within the scope of my ability, I will definitely provide you with the greatest help!"

Roger's words were sincere and did not seem to be false.

Meng Lei heard it in his ears, but he didn't take it seriously, but his friendliness to Roger increased a bit, but it wasn't as trustworthy as Chen Yu.

Everyone can talk about the scene, but the distance of the relationship will take a long time to see people's hearts.

Next, in response to the various planning schemes proposed by the Exploratorium, Roger made an in-depth analysis for Meng Lei, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding of the situation of the resource points in various places.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that it was too late. Meng Lei was too embarrassed to disturb him any more, so he got up and retire.

Roger smiled.

When they parted at the door of the villa, he did not forget to remind Meng Lei to contact him at any time in case of difficulty.

The door of the Luo family's mansion will always be open to Meng Lei.

At this point, Roger's favor is almost overflowing. It's hard to imagine that a character like him in a high-ranking position would be so enthusiastic about a person who had known each other for less than half a month.

Although it is driven by interests and common goals, it is not difficult to see that Roger is indeed quite optimistic about Meng Lei.

This made Meng Lei more or less flattered.

However, this feeling quickly flooded into my heart with a mess of thoughts, and disappeared without a trace.

Walking in the noisy neon streets and alleys of Xier City day and night, Meng Lei thought about it and made a summary of today's harvest.

In general, the development prospects of the Chongming fleet today are very good.

Not only did they catch the line of private arms dealers, which paved the way for the construction of the base area, but also determined the future development direction, so as not to be like other fleets, they are still smeared about the future.

Without Roger's help, it would have been impossible for him to find an outpost suitable for development and construction in a short period of time.

Only relying on their own exploration and inquiries, the ghost knows that the Year of the Monkey, the Horse and the Moon can establish their own base in this dark ice ocean that never sees the light of day.

I don't even know when I will grow up and find my way home.

Today, although it is still in its infancy, at least he can see even a shred of hope more than most people.

That alone is enough.

"Relax your mind, take your time, take your time..."

Meng Lei walked on the wet and muddy streets with his hands behind his back, and the neon lights in front of him almost made people forget the darkness and panic that pervaded the outside world.

He kept reminding himself to stay sane and sober at all times.

Moreover, you must not be in a hurry for quick success. You must take it one step at a time and move forward steadily.

A momentary lead can't decide everything. In this dark ocean completely covered by ice, any small mistake will lead to total disaster!

While thinking about it, the bustling and lively Xiercheng business district was gradually left behind.

Meng Lei stepped on the old and decayed shaft elevator alone, and in the still heart-warming sound of metal friction and collision, he returned to the lower industrial area and walked towards the No. 59 dock.

On the way, he took out his tablet and checked the time.

Judging from the experience of Seale Weekly editor Julie's last interview, it's not too late.

If you don't have a particularly in-depth communication, it should be too late to simply meet and chat.

Thinking of this, he casually sent Julie a text message.

Sure enough, after a while, before Meng Lei returned to the Guixu, a reply came from Julie, saying that she would come as soon as possible.

After receiving a positive answer, a stone in Meng Lei's heart finally fell.

After solving the affairs on Julie's side, in the next few days, there is nothing that needs to be dealt with by him.

He can take this opportunity to take a good rest, wait for the shipyard to finish, and then start immediately.

The sale of insect eggs is urgent, and all future development must revolve around this fund, and he does not want to waste more than a moment.

When he returned to the Guixu, Chen Yu had not fallen asleep.

The former commander-in-chief of the Kyushu Fleet is now sitting in the cockpit, peeping and diving with relish.

It has to be said that there are indeed many Blue Star players who are full of energy and drive.

It's almost early morning, and the channel communication channel is still in full swing. There are many scattered organizations and lone wolf players. At this time, they are still burying their heads in the wild, and conscientiously brushing the bounty tasks they received from the city hall.

For the vast majority of people, the low-risk bounty tasks issued by the alliance are still the main source of income.

Although not much to earn, the victory lies in freedom and safety.

As long as you can work hard for a week, you can earn more than you can find a job in the city for a month. For the remaining half of the month, you can eat and wait to die, and you can rot in the initial wasteland boat.

Such a boring and tasteless life, in fact, is not necessarily a blessing for an alien environment.

Seeing Meng Lei's return, Chen Yu stopped peeping at the screen, and with great interest began to inquire about the content of his interview with Roger tonight.

Meng Lei sorted out his thoughts, and without reservation, explained several plans provided by the Exploration faction to Chen Yu in detail.

After listening, Chen Yu suddenly fell into deep thought.

At the same time, strange brilliance began to appear in his eyes one after another, and he was obviously very interested in these plans proposed by Roger.

"As Roger said, there is no rush to determine the plan, we still have a lot of time to prepare!"

Chen Yu took out a pen and paper, recorded the plan Meng Lei just described in detail, and then said:

"During this period of time, I will find someone to study these plans carefully, and then decide on the implementation of the final plan based on the current situation of our fleet.

However, the business of the Black Strait shipwreck cemetery seems to be the first choice at present.

The wreck transformation alone can take a lot of stress off of us!

In addition, the natural fishing grounds in Wuguang Haiyuan are also a good choice. There are many abandoned sites there. We can simply repair the lower industrial areas of several outposts and use them for commercial development, not just hunting. .

For example, the construction of undersea pastures, focusing on animal husbandry.

Or produce vegetables and fruits for planting and development.

By the way, didn't you pick up a lot of vegetable seeds in vain before, we can all use them..."

It has to be said that Chen Yu's performance is much higher than Meng Lei's in terms of leadership ability and business vision.

In less than a moment, Chen Yu found a lot of business opportunities from the several plans provided by Meng Lei.

And these projects ~www.novelbuddy.com~ are very feasible.

Some even Roger didn't see it and reminded Meng Lei of his strengths and weaknesses in time. Chen Yu could point it out at a glance. Meng Lei was so excited when he heard it, he just felt that his heart was suddenly enlightened.

However, Chen Yu was not in a hurry to draw a conclusion immediately.

Many things do not belong to his professional field, and he cannot see clearly and thoroughly. He needs to continue in-depth discussions with some business elites in the fleet to arrive at the final result.

And Meng Lei is not in a hurry, as long as Chen Yu can make a final plan before he returns from the sea this time.

From now on, there is still more than half a month to discuss, which is completely too late.

At about 10:40 p.m., just as Meng Lei and Chen Yu were discussing future plans, the bell of the visitor from the Guixu number rang.

Searle Weekly magazine editor Julie was invited to…
