In Xihai City,
Energy businessman Zhao Rongxian looked at the battle axe who came to deliver the message with a smile, thinking that why would that tough guy who killed the city lord come to look for him? Anyway, he still had time, so he might as well go and take a look.
Zhao Rongxian is the person in charge of the family's energy business in Xihai City. He was ready to leave when Xihai City became chaotic. He was not going to take all the goods with him, but he didn't have time to leave yet.
The leader of the Dawn Mercenary Group, Yong Yong, was easy to talk to. He followed the message from Battle Axe and directly brought two of his men to Sunset Lake.
The two men were from the same group. Zhao Rongxian was amazed after getting out of the car. Looking at the situation at the scene, the three missiles exploded above the supercar. The supercar was surrounded by deep pits, and only a steel plate was placed at the entrance for people to enter and exit. How could the supercar withstand the three missiles without even a piece of the wall falling off?
Could these people have some new technology? Zhao Rongxuan's heart warmed up. He walked forward enthusiastically, shook Tang Qingxi's hand, and said, "I guess you're looking for me. My name is Zhao Rongxuan. I'm in the energy business in Xihai City. I wonder if I can be of any service to you."
Tang Qingxi replied, "Hello, thank you for coming. My name is Tang Qingxi." Turning to the other person, he said, "I guess you are the leader of the Dawn Mercenary Group."
The man waved his hand lazily. "Hello, I'm Yong, the leader of the Dawn Mercenary Group."
"Come in."
"Come in."
"I wonder what Ms. Tang wants to talk to us about?" Zhao Rongxian asked.
Tang Qingxi said straight to the point, "I'm here to discuss the situation in Xihai City. I'm wondering if you two would like to become its mayor."
Zhao Rongxuan initially refused: "I am an Italian, and Italians don't do business that loses money."
Xihai City is now a mess. Anyone who wants to take over has to invest a large sum of money first, and it is still unclear whether there will be any profit.
Yong simply said, "I would like to be the city lord, but I don't have the money to buy weapons."
"In other words, if you have weapons, you want to be the city lord." Tang Qingxi asked.
Yong's ultimate dream is to become a city lord. He was born in a tribe where people basically rely on hunting for survival. They have no hot weapons and rely purely on cold weapons for hunting. People die at any time and they don't have enough to eat. Yong had a very hard life when he was a child, and he thought that everyone lived like this.
Until one day, their tribe received a group of mercenaries who were resting in their tribe. That was the first time he knew about the existence of the city.
People in the city have houses that are not hot in summer and not cold in winter. There is food in the city so they won’t go hungry. There are doctors and medicines in the city so they don’t have to wait to die if they are injured... Everything is so beautiful.
So when Yong grew up, he did everything he could to enter the city and find the mercenaries to join them.
After entering the city, he realized that the city was not as beautiful as the rumors said, but it was still better than the tribe.
Yong had been saving money to build a new town. He couldn't afford to build a new city, as the money required was astronomical. Later, he could bring his own people in to settle down, so they wouldn't have to migrate with the mutant beasts.
After hearing Tang Qingxi's words, Yong's heart started pounding. He realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, his only chance to become the city lord. He stood up, stared into Tang Qingxi's eyes, and said, "You mean you will provide weapons?"
Tang Qingxi said with a smile: "Yes and no, I won't provide you with weapons, but I will provide the materials to buy weapons."
"In that case, I can do it too." Zhao Rongxian interrupted hurriedly. He was regretting it so much that his heart was bleeding. Who knew that the owner of Chaoyang store would be so generous.
"You only have one chance, but you gave up just now." Tang Qingxi said lightly.
Zhao Rongxuan said anxiously: "Can you give me another chance? I can sell you 3% of the city tax revenue."
What does Tang Qingxi want the city’s tax revenue for? She is not short of money. Besides, she can only stay here for a month, so why should she collect taxes?
What Tang Qingxi needs now is someone who can quickly clean up the mess in Xihai City. Although it was not intentional, she should take part of the responsibility for the current situation in Xihai City.
The opportunity was gone when Zhao Rongxian refused without hesitation, but Zhao Rongxian was an energy businessman, so he could do a deal with him.
Tang Qingxi shook his head and refused, "I don't want the city's taxes, but you can wait a moment. I have a big deal to discuss with you."
Seeing Tang Qingxi's unquestionable expression, Zhao Rongxian could only sit down helplessly. He could do it if he wanted.
Tang Qingxi turned to Yong and said, "I can support you in becoming the city lord, but there are conditions."
Hearing Tang Qingxi say this, Yong felt relieved. It was good to have a request. He was afraid that there would be no request at all. Yong was getting restless: "What conditions do you have, Ms. Tang? Just tell me."
Now that he is here, Tang Qingxi wants to do something for the people in the wilderness, and hopes that the human beings in this world can pass it on.
The way those upper-class people are doing things, the supplies left over from before the war will be consumed sooner or later. What will they do when they are consumed?
Tang Qingxi: "I hope you can build Xihai City into a free city where anyone can come and work and trade."
"I also need you to help me collect pre-war scientific and technological information, anything."
The condition was simple, and Yong nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"Now, let's talk about what kind of weapons the castle needs."
Yong thought for a moment and replied, "Missiles are barely enough for the large-scale weapons Xihai City has right now."
"The city's guards are the city lord's personal property. Over half of them were killed in the explosion last night, and the rest just looted and ran off. We need a new guard."
"The Guard will need shields, stun guns, power armor, and guns."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "I need a few more cars."
Tang Qingxi nodded and asked, "Can you contact this weapons dealer? Can he deliver the goods to your door within a month?"
"Guns are easy to find in Xihai City. As for the power armor, the ones sold there are pre-war mining-only ones and can't be loaded with weapons."
"As for missiles, you'd have to ask Zhao Rongxuan. I don't know anyone who sells missiles."
Zhao Rongxuan said politely, "I can help you contact the arms dealer. It's not difficult. I just don't know what Ms. Tang is willing to trade for."
Tang Qingxi stood up and said to Zhao Rongxuan, "Come with me."
