() The place where they are going today is a small town called Gayer near the city of Gayer, located in eastern Victoria.

Gayère is one of the four major cities in southern Victoria, along with St. Di, Notting, and Yehua.

The city of Shengdi is the most important port city, the city of Yehua is a strategic border town, the city of Notting is the most important trade hub in the south, and the city of Gayer is the economic pillar of almost the entire south.

To put it bluntly, it is the city's unique wealth.

The city of Gayer, like the city of Hapi, has royal privileges, but this is not the privilege of the infected, but the economic privilege.

A series of preferential measures, such as tariff reduction, entrepreneurship support, security and so on, have created a good investment environment for Gayère, and foreign businessmen from many neighboring countries can freely enter the city.

Although it is also located in the south of Victoria, the city of Gayer is very far from the city of Notting, and its geographical location is a border zone, strictly speaking, it should be at the junction of the north and south, because it is close to Yehua City, and it is also one of the few large cities that is not controlled by gangs.

Xia Feng is not interested in the city of Gayère itself, he doesn't know much about the special economic zone, and it feels similar to the city of Nuoxia, although it is profitable, but it is not very tempting.

He was going to a small town 20 kilometers west of Gayer, Gaya, where one of the two source stone factories that Vena had told him about was there.

.............

The private processing of source stone is a high-risk industry, and it is also the most serious illegal industry.

Of course, this den is not only very hidden, but also changes periodically, almost only insiders know, and there is no contact information at all.

Xia Feng doesn't know much about this industry, according to Vina, the processing price is not fixed, they will set the price according to the customer's demand and strength, and if they feel untrustworthy, they will even directly refuse to cooperate.

Black Feather's strength can't be said to be the most bullish now, but it's definitely enough to see, this is not a one-shot deal, if the price is accepted by both sides, this will be a stable long-term cooperation, so Xia Feng still has a lot of sincerity in this negotiation.

...........

In the afternoon of the next day, the jeep drove on the road for almost two days and one night and finally arrived in the town of Gaya.

In terms of town size, it's about the same size as Sanna Town.

There are no high-rise buildings, except for a few four- and five-story buildings can occasionally be seen in the civilian areas, and several important sections of the central area of the town are concrete roads, and the rest are dirt roads.

Rolling down the window, the air was filled with a faint sour smell, slightly pungent.

Without taking a break, the jeep wandered around the town, and according to the address on the business card, he finally found a small factory with limestone metallurgy hanging on the outskirts.

The jeep was parked outside the factory, the pungent smell became a little stronger, and through the window, Xia Feng saw that almost all the workers passing by in the factory yard were wearing masks.

"Brother ace, Ah Guang, you stay in the car and don't get down, find out the mask and put it on, although it is very light, there are disease-causing substances in the air near here."

Ace nodded.

"I'll go in and pick up if there's any."

"Yes."

Pushing the car door, the red knife took off the large suitcase in the trunk, and walked into the factory gate with Xia Feng.

Vena said that the boss of this source stone private processing den is nicknamed Gray Stone, and the gray stone metallurgy hanging at the door of the factory proves that he is not looking for the wrong place.

In terms of scale, this is a standard small metallurgical factory, with a lot of finished and semi-finished steel stacked in the yard, and a few large trucks parked, but it seems that these things have not been touched for a long time.

Limestone Metallurgy may have specialized steelmaking equipment and may receive orders from steel mills, but these should be "props" to disguise their real operations.

Walking into the courtyard of the factory, Xia Feng and Red Knife were quickly stopped, and after indicating their intentions, they were led to a small building behind the factory.

After 10 minutes.

In a dirty, dilapidated reception room, Xia Feng meets the owner of the factory, a man nicknamed Graystone.

This is an obese middle-aged man, whose visual age is about 40 years old, but judging from his demeanor and eyes, this fat body is not fat.

"Hello Boss Gray."

"Yes."

Greystone simply responded, then sat down on a chair and crossed his legs.

Those who do this business will inevitably be a little wary of strangers, and at the same time, as one of the only two source stone private processing channels in Victoria, after eliminating the danger, no matter how much the identity of the person who comes to the door is, the gray stone will not be taken seriously.

Then, Xia Feng sat opposite the gray stone and showed him his intentions, and reported the number of source stone clusters he had temporarily.

Red Knife took two steps forward, put the large suitcase in his hand on the table and opened it, revealing a box full of source stones.

Graystone crossed his legs and stretched out his hand to the little brother next to him, and a cigar was immediately handed over.

He wasn't wary of the natural source stone bushes that were close by, and it looked like he was supposed to be an infected.

Lighting his cigar to himself, Greystone said slowly.

"So, you still have three boxes of this quality source stone bush?"

Xia Feng's attitude was very polite.

"That's right, I'd like to talk to you about the price now."

"Grace ....."

Graystone pulled out a piece of paper and counted something on it as he smoked his cigar.

After a moment, he pushed the paper in front of Xia Feng.

"This number of source stone clusters can finally process about 300 S-grade source stones, depending on the actual output, and the price is what I wrote."

More than a dozen raw materials and the prices behind them were written on the paper, and Xia Feng saw that light manganese ore was included, but the total price he came up with in the end was very surprising to him.

"130,000?"

"Yes."

"1?"

"Heh, of course it's 1, otherwise what do you think?"

This price greatly exceeded Xia Feng's previous estimate, to put it bluntly, this is not outrageously expensive, this is simply a clear robbery.

Xia Feng held the note.

"Boss Ash, this price seems a bit high to me, I can provide the light manganese ore you listed here myself, can you see if you can reduce the price?"

"You out of light manganese ore? Well, that's 125,000 1. ”

This time, even the red knife next to him couldn't sit still, although he had not participated in the smuggling of source stones, but Hesse, the organization of the infected he was in before, had also purchased source stones from others because of strategic needs, and he still knew the approximate price.

Xia Feng's expression didn't show any change, and he looked at Gray Stone quietly.

"Boss Gray, this price is too high for me, I am not a small and scattered household, I want to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with you."

Greystone took a soft puff on his cigar.

"Long-term cooperation is not based on words, I am not a businessman, and I hate bargaining the most, so I will give you a minimum price, you can consider it yourself."

"Please."

"120,001 pieces, no matter how many they are, is this price, of course, if our cooperation goes well, I will consider reducing the price in the future."

Xia Feng narrowed his eyes, and his voice had lost its politeness.

"Do you know what the organization behind me is, this channel was introduced to me by the Advancement King of the Glasgow Gang, Boss Gray, you should have heard of the newly rising Black Feather Chamber of Commerce in the south."

Graystone smokes a cigar like a cultured rascal, not caring at all about Xia Feng's words.

"Boy, this is not a valuable bargaining chip, it doesn't matter if the black feather or the white feather is with me, I only eat this mouthful, 120,001 pieces, this is the market price."
