Chapter 194
For example, Lord Lu Ze bought everything except the transport ship. It is so obvious that anyone can see it.
There are many other similar issues that are not listed here one by one.
Although these are not big problems, even if he really ignored them and didn't notice them, it wouldn't be a big deal. But through these problems, we can also understand the meaning of Master Lu Ze's actions.
Lord Lu Ze has shown it so clearly. If Ji Lin still can't see that Lord Lu Ze is cultivating their abilities, he can just find a piece of tofu and kill himself.
Thinking of this, Ji Lin felt a little relieved.
He had to take the first step and couldn't wait for Lord Lu Ze to make decisions on everything. The most important thing was that he believed that even if something went wrong because of his decision... Lord Lu Ze would definitely not ignore them.
Anyway, I feel at ease with Lord Lu Ze backing me up.
"Chairman Ji, we have the transport ships you need in stock at Blue River, but I'm afraid the modification will take some time."
Wen Yue looked at the model of the transport ship carefully. It was obvious that the structure of this transport ship had been modified and was different from conventional transport ships.
Such large transport ships are generally not equipped with such high-speed engines. After all, they are mostly used for transportation within the planetary system, so they only need to have the speed to navigate within the planetary system.
However, the requirements given by Ji Lin are not low. If these transport ships are modified according to his requirements, their maximum speed can be on par with the frigates of the general fourth-level civilization.
"The faster the starship travels, the stronger the shell materials used need to be, and the power system also needs to be upgraded."
"But the most important thing is the engine. Reinstalling the engine will take quite a while."
"If you're not in a hurry, we can take your order."
He was certainly anxious, but Ji Lin said calmly, "If I give it to you, how long will it take you to deliver it to me?"
"I can't give you a definite timeline, but roughly speaking, a starship like this would take at least half a month to modify. If problems arise during this time, the timeline could be extended."
Ji Lin was not disappointed. He had already thought that it would not be completed so quickly.
I can wait for half a month.
When they return from Tianyun Star, they will be able to transport the modified transport ship and a new batch of supplies delivered by Lanhe, which will greatly reduce the time spent on the road.
"Two original transport ships, this model, are they available?"
Wen Yue checked his computer and looked at the inventory of arms dealers who had cooperated with the exchange in the background. He confirmed, "Yes."
Everything can be traded on the exchange, from a small part on a mecha to an entire starship and its supporting munitions.
In short, the existence of numerous exchanges in the Western Ring Star Belt has perfectly solved the troubles of various emerging forces in not knowing where to find reliable procurement channels.
"No problem. We have the original model transport ship in stock and can trade immediately."
"Two ships, 300,000 resource points."
"Two hundred and fifty thousand." Ji Lin opened his mouth and directly cut down the price by fifty thousand. Three hundred thousand resource points to buy two empty transport ships was a bit too high a price.
"It's not like we don't understand at all. We just thought that since we've already purchased so many things in Blue River, we wouldn't need a few starships. What do you think, Mr. Wen?"
Wen Yue's mouth twitched. It sounded nice to say, but the price was almost hitting his bottom line.
"Based on my authority, I can only give you a discount of 20,000 at most." Wen Yue looked embarrassed and tried to bargain again.
"The market price of a transport ship of this type fluctuates between 100,000 and 110,000. The price offered to the exchange will only be lower... If Mr. Wen Yue is really in such a difficult position, we can only go to other exchanges to ask."
"By the way, Mr. Wen Yue hasn't quoted me the price for the modification yet, right?"
"What a shame! We had hoped to continue long-term cooperation with your exchange and even prepared a procurement contract for next quarter."
Ji Lin was typing on his laptop, pretending to accidentally click on the purchase list while talking. The details that popped up on it were no less than the amount of their transaction just by looking at the first part.
"Now it seems that we may still be a little short of fate."
Wen Yue saw it, so he couldn't turn a blind eye.
"Chairman Ji, we can discuss some things, and some more." Wen Yue greeted him with a smile, and without blinking, he said, "I can only give you this price, but perhaps our supervisor can give you a better discount."
What supervisor? You don’t even need to ask the supervisor, you can give a big discount yourself.
There are so many exchanges in the Xihuanxing belt, and there is competition on a regular basis.
Blue River Exchange is just an inconspicuous one among them. Compared with those giants, it is simply incomparable.
In other words, I am not as good as the best, but better than the worst, and I can still live.
New customers, especially those with deep pockets, are well worth sacrificing some immediate short-term benefits to win over.
"How can there be no fate? We are just too destined to be together."
"Otherwise, your boss wouldn't have chosen Blue River among so many exchanges in the West Ring Star Belt."
"Besides, we at Blue River have been standing in the Western Ring Star Belt for many years. We have a full range of supplies that you need to purchase."
"Well, let's do as you said, 250,000 for two transport ships." Wen Yue calculated the price in his mind. He made less money on this deal, but it would not be a loss if he could negotiate another cooperation.
Short-term cooperation becomes long-term, no loss, some profit!
"We will also give you the most favorable price for the other four transport ships that need to be modified."
When it comes to the price, Ji Lin is also very satisfied and would save as much as possible.
Only those who manage the household know how expensive food and daily necessities are. In the short time he has been in the Western Ring Star Belt, he has fully understood how difficult it is to move forward without star coins.
"By the way, I looked at Blue River's membership system. If you spend over 30 million resource points, you can become your premium member and enjoy a 15% discount on all transactions."
"That's right, isn't it?"
Wen Yue nodded without hesitation: "That's right."
"Then let's talk about the more in-depth details of the cooperation." Ji Lin clicked on the purchase list.
There is a list, and the supplies that need to be purchased are similar to those this time, except that the quantity has doubled.
The most expensive of these are various intelligent machines and electronic products.
These are all finished products. Although the prices of some things are low, the demand cannot meet the large quantities.
For example, there are personal terminals with outdated models and simple functions, the number of which exceeds one million. Another example is components such as display screens, etc. Wen Yue looked at the list and suspected that the Wujin Chamber of Commerce was planning to take these goods to some low-level civilization for dumping.
But even if he thought so in his heart, Wen Yue would not ask.
Lan He didn't care who the buyer of the Wu Jin Chamber of Commerce was. Even if the goods were really smuggled to some low-level civilization, Lan He would not be implicated if they were caught.
Along the way, the two sides had cordial and friendly conversations on future cooperation and fully exchanged views.
After enhancing their mutual understanding, Ji Lin and Wen Yue reached a satisfactory result.
Well, maybe Ji Lin was just feeling happy unilaterally, while Wen Yue was feeling both happy and sad.
"It's a pleasure working with you." Ji Lin stretched out his hand and smiled brightly.
Compared to the smile when we first met, this smile was obviously more sincere.
"It's a pleasure working with you." Wen Yue shook his hand, feeling sad.
Chairman Ji is really good at bargaining, and he has reasons and evidence to support his arguments, as if he would not be sincere enough if he didn't offer a discount.
When they arrived at A9 Port No. 3, Wen Yue could hardly hide the helplessness in his smile when he got off the car.
Well, at least I have obtained a purchasing contract, and this month's performance... no, if everything goes well, this year's performance will exceed the target.
Standing at the porthole, they could see the starship they bought from afar. The huge starship stretched across the dark universe. If they were not far enough away, they could still see the entire starship.
A fourth-level civilization mothership with combat capabilities is itself a large transport ship that transports fighter ships and mechas that can be deployed at any time.
"Please follow me and let me take you to visit this mothership first." Wen Yue said, leading the way.
The magnetic levitation light elevator under their feet started running, taking them to the docking entrance of the small spacecraft a hundred meters away.
Large starships cannot enter the inner harbor and can only be moored in the outer harbor. There are special small spaceships at the docking platform of the outer harbor for pick-up and drop-off.
Of course, if you have one, you can also take your own, but you will need to pay an additional berthing fee when the spaceship enters the inner harbor.
"By the time we finish our tour, the transport ship you need should have arrived."
While in the car, Ji Lin asked them to send the transport ship to A9 Port No. 3, directly dock at the freight platform and move the previously determined materials onto the transport ship.
To this end, he left a female insect to guard the place.
From the small spaceship onto the starship.
While standing inside this fourth-level civilization mothership, Ji Lin couldn't hide his curiosity and anticipation. After all, he had seen pictures and videos of it many times, but this was the first time he saw the real thing.

"The starship has been in standby mode, and the authority of the shipboard AI will be transferred synchronously after the transaction is completed."
“Then you can manipulate it.”
All starships, mechas, etc. are equipped with basic intelligent programs when they leave the factory. The only difference is the level of intelligence displayed by the program AI.
The program AI created by the fourth-level civilization has entered the stage of strong artificial intelligence. They are more vivid than low-level programs even with the huge computing power of quantum computers.
The mothership also carries a procedural AI.
After entering the main control hall of the bridge, Ji Lin imported a program into the central control console of the mother ship. After checking that there were no problems, he completed the transaction with Wen Yue.
As the transaction was completed, a pleasant and generous female voice echoed in the space.
[Soloth 70 authorization has been successfully transferred. The new authorization recipient's information is being confirmed.]
[Confirmed recipient: Ji Lin, President of Wujin Trading Company.]
"It's yours now." Confirming the transaction was complete, Wen Yue smiled and said, "If you don't have anything to do later, maybe I can treat you to a meal."
Ji Lin shook his head lightly in rejection, and half-jokingly said, "Let's have a meal together to keep in touch next time."
"As you can see, I still have a lot of things to do next."
Wen Yue nodded in understanding and said politely, "Okay then. Next time when you have time, you must give me this opportunity."
"Chairman Ji is busy, so I won't bother you any longer." Wen Yue said proactively with great tact.
"Yan, please send it off for me."
Ji Lin turned his head to look at the female insect who had been standing behind him in silence.
"Yes, President."
After Yan and Wen Yue left, Ji Lin's smile faded.
He stood in front of the console and turned on his light computer to connect to the starship's network.
The next second, a hazy mist popped up on the large screen of the central console. The thick gray mist finally gathered into 'HW'. The progress bar below, which had appeared at some unknown time, also reached its peak at the same time.
[…Self-check completed, discovered 75 vulnerabilities and 13 secret door control programs…Vulnerabilities patched, control programs cleared.]
[Shipboard control AI renamed 'Never Embers', starship AI is being upgraded.]
【……】
[Uploading the sub-function installation package. It is expected that the sub-function installation and program upgrade will be completed in three hours.]
Lord Lu Ze is in charge of the starship AI. All he has to do is import the program and start remote control. The rest will be left to the intelligent AI of their Wujin Chamber of Commerce.
The more important thing now is to notify the Chamber of Commerce members who have already arrived at the star port and are waiting for news from this side that they can board the ship.
