Chapter 265: Something Cheap
() The Source Stone Smuggling Mission of the Frydo Chamber of Commerce, which is something that Xia Feng has always wanted to get his hands on, as it involves two pieces of information that he really wants to know.
First, although the Frydo Chamber of Commerce has a large number of people and a large territory, there are very few real masters, they will not go to the disaster area to rob openly like the Glasgow Gang, so where does their source stone channel come from?
Second, as Friedo said just now, the 92 finished source stones were processed and sent back in the morning, which means that he has mastered the processing channels of the finished source stones.
...............
Afterwards, Friedo briefed them on the mission.
This time, the buyer is a folk source stone technology research organization in Casimir, 92 finished source stones, the agreed price is 65 million, Xia Feng roughly calculated, the average price of a source stone has reached about 700,000.
He has done some understanding before, because of the particularity of the source stone, there is no accurate price for the source stone circulating underground, if you are lucky, you may spend 200,000 to buy several, if you are unlucky, you may spend 1 million and there is no market.
Especially for some powerful organizations, the price is not a problem, the important thing is to meet the demand, the quality of the source stone and the stability of the supply, so the transaction of the source stone is not a large amount of preferential, but the more expensive, especially the finished source stone, but also to remove the expensive processing costs.
Friedo's meaning is obvious, this business seems to be a huge amount, but in fact, he doesn't make a lot of money, his purpose is just to make this transaction smooth, so as to open the source stone market of the Friedo Chamber of Commerce.
He wanted to let the neighboring countries of Victoria know that in addition to the Glasgow Gang, Source Stones could also be purchased from the Frydo Chamber of Commerce.
After the task was explained, Xia Feng pretended to ask casually.
"Boss, where did we get our source stones?"
Friedo's answer was somewhat vague.
"There are many channels, and they basically use our power in the southern region."
"What a channel?"
"From the coastal cities all the way to the cities in the hinterland, there are our people."
"Then there must be a source, except for natural disaster areas, source stones will not grow out of thin air."
Frydo didn't expect Xia Feng to ask this question again and again, and his expression showed a hint of impatience.
"Of course there is a source."
"What is the source?"
The south wind next to him suddenly interrupted him.
"Don't ask!"
Frydor didn't know why Xia Feng was asking, but Nanfeng knew very well that Xia Feng was trying his best to find out the information he needed, like a hunter who had locked on to his prey, and he needed to dig up all the wealth of his target before hunting him.
Nanfeng interrupted Xia Feng's questioning, because he was worried that Frydo would find out something.
Xia Feng smiled.
"Nanfeng, why are you so nervous, I just ask casually, I will often perform this kind of task in the future, don't I want to know more."
Sitting behind his desk, Frydo's mind was now on business, and he didn't think much about it at all.
Frydo sighed.
"It's okay, Xia Feng wants to know and I'll tell him that our source stones can be said to be all over the world, but this doesn't require us to take the initiative to find them, and the infected from the world will take the initiative to bring the source stones to Victoria."
Frydo's words were a word that woke up the dreamer, and Xia Feng instantly figured out where these source stones came from.
Because of Victoria's tolerance towards the inhabited, a large number of smugglers come here every year, both infected and ordinary people who are smuggled for some reason, and the places where they land are undoubtedly the coast of the southern region.
For example, Sanna Town, such as Shengdi City, or other small coastal towns, the source stone is the most expensive thing in the world, and at least a small number of infected and criminals from all over the world have been in contact with the source stone, and in the process of smuggling, in addition to money, the source stone is the most worthwhile thing to carry.
If it is an infected person who can activate the source stone technique, then the source stone is their talisman, even if it is an ordinary person, the source stone is also an international black commodity that can be exchanged for a large amount of money, such as the Platts brothers he met on that boat, they carried a lot of source stones in the process of smuggling.
Even if on average, only one person in every 1,000 people carries the source stone smuggling, so in the long run, the source stone inflow is not small, and after these smugglers enter the country, they will gradually spread throughout the southern region like scattered ants, and over time, for some reason, they may want to sell the source stone in their hands.
The Foridor Chamber of Commerce's influence is spread across many cities in the south, which has invisibly become a source stone acquisition network, and these smugglers each hold a small number of source stones, and the quality is uneven, if they do not sell to the Foridor Chamber of Commerce, then it will be difficult for them to sell.
With some coercion and pressure, Frydo was able to receive these source stones at a very low price, although it was not as profitable as the Glasgow gang's method of obtaining a large number of source stones in an instant, but in the long run, it was also a stable channel.
After Frydo finished speaking, Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully.
"I see, hey, I see."
The simple point of Friedo's channel is that there is no risk, the only risk is only the escort at the time of shipment, because the buyers are basically abroad.
And judging from Frydo's demeanor, he cares a lot about the source stone business, and the reason is very simple.
The reason why the Glasgow gang is an internationally resounding gang is because of their source stone business, which can give an organization access to very large international strategic resources, and it is obvious that Fleido also wants his gang to live on the front line and be in line with international standards.
The current Friedo Chamber of Commerce is only attached to the Victorian Empire, but if its strength is raised to an international level, then he will have more options when destruction comes, and even break away from Victoria's regime and move to some remote and small countries.
Frido's idea Xia Feng had probably guessed almost enough, and at the same time, he also discovered a very important point, that is, the source of the source stone was not enough, that is, the goods were too small.
Xia Feng propped his hand on the table and said.
"Boss, how often can we ship the goods?"
"A few months, not necessarily."
"So long."
Frydo sighed a little reluctantly.
"This is also a matter of no choice, the buyer has a large demand at one time, and the risk of shipping in batches is too high."
Xia Feng could see that Friedo was very eager to obtain a large number of source stones and expand the source stone smuggling business, but the speed of collection was too slow.
He might be able to take advantage of that.
"Boss, I seem to be able to help you get the source stone."
"You? If you have scattered source stones, then hand them over, and the gang will buy them at the price. ”
"No, no, no, I mean, a lot of source stones, a lot, a lot."
"Huh?"
Frydo raised his head and looked at Xia Feng with some confusion, and soon, he understood what Xia Feng meant.
"Don't you want to be like the Glasgow gang and take the south wind to the disaster area?"
"Why not?"
Frydo smiled mockingly.
"Xia Feng, I know you are very strong, but I advise you to give up this idea, you have not been to the natural disaster area, you don't know how dangerous it is, without a strict division of labor and rich experience, it is impossible to obtain the source stone in that kind of chaotic place, in the natural disaster area, human life is the cheapest thing."
Xia Feng was a little surprised.
"Boss, are you afraid of my death?"
"I cherish talents very much, and I don't want my capable subordinates to sacrifice in vain."
"I see."
Xia Feng straightened up, and just before Nanfeng was about to take him out of the office and prepare for the mission, Xia Feng leaned over to Friedo again with a mysterious face and whispered.
"Boss, if I do get a lot of source stones, what reward will you give me?"
Frydo squinted at him, but didn't say anything.
Then, the two left with a box of source stones.
