Chapter 1089 Great Unity? !
"Talk... while waiting..."
Illya seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant, and she collapsed backwards.
If Yan Qi hadn’t been prepared, he would have been able to quickly support the woman.
This time, I'm afraid I'll have to sit on the ground.
"What if... I mean what if..." Illya said with a trembling voice:
"What if Overlord Lu Li..."
"Nothing will happen." Ao Zhan waved his hand and interrupted directly:
"I think Overlord Lu Li will come back safely."
"Of course, Ms. Illya, if you want to know what will happen if Lu Li doesn't come back, then I can give you a very clear answer."
"Overlord Lu Li is the lifeblood of our Earth."
"If anything unexpected happens to him, then this planet, or even this star region, will no longer be necessary to exist."
Hearing this, Illya shuddered violently.
He glanced at Yan Qi out of the corner of his eye and saw that the man had the same cold smile as Ao Zhan.
madman,
These guys from Earth are all crazy!
"Okay, let's not waste time." Ao Zhan clapped his hands and called in a team of professionals who looked quite professional.
Illya recognized with her sharp eyes that there was a face among them that she had only recently become familiar with.
That was not long after she joined Fenghuoyeguan. She had just met Qian Tongda, the head of the Qian family, several times because of business dealings.
That guy seems to be from Earth too?
"Damn it... I should have paid attention before..." Illya cried out miserably in her heart, and was forced to start "talking business" with Ao Zhan and others.
Although Ao Zhan said on the surface that everyone should start from the same position and discuss every possible transaction fairly and harmoniously.
But in fact, it was Ao Zhan who made the request, and Illya forced a smile and nodded in agreement.
Basically, she has to take out whatever product the other party wants to buy from her.
I dare not quote a higher price, the first bite is directly the cost price.
Even so, he still had to suffer the unreasonable "knife" of Ao Zhan.
It didn't take long before half of the little capital that Illya had saved up was lost in this "business".
It looks like a robbery!
Just pay the compensation, at least your life and the Overlord Star are saved.
But even so, Ao Zhan didn't seem to intend to let her go.
Under the advice of Qian Tongda, the old profiteer, the two "simply" expanded their business into other areas.
sell.
Ao Zhan adheres to the principle that business cannot be just about him buying and Illya selling. Although he seems enthusiastic, he actually forces Illya to buy goods that are specialties of the Earth.
The stuff is not garbage, they are all real equipment, props, and herbal materials.
But the price is shockingly high!
Compared with the cost price offered by Illya, Ao Zhan's quotation was simple and unadorned, showing no business experience.
Beat the master to death with random punches!
Whenever the profit is five times lower than the cost, it is a loss!
After a set of unreasonable negotiations, the remaining half of Illya's capital went into Ao Zhan's pocket.
In addition, the other party also proposed other "cooperation projects" during the negotiations.
Such as joint development of star regions, collaborative exploration of unknown areas, joint deployment of human resources, joint governance of co-jurisdictions, etc.
In the final analysis, it comes down to one sentence -
Ao Zhan wants the goods, and he wants the people too!
I thought this was excessive enough.
But she never expected that what would open Illya's eyes was yet to come.
Finally, the time for settlement came. With trembling hands, this experienced wandering trader took out the hard currency of universe settlement, refined gold, from his storage item.
I thought Ao Zhan would take the same action and also trade with refined gold.
Unexpectedly, the other party just waved his hand and asked his subordinates to bring a few suitcases.
After opening it, there was not golden gold inside, but red banknotes.
A paper banknote made mainly from plant fiber and obviously processed through multiple processes.
"This...is this?"
Illya's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.
"Ah, this is called Great Unity, and it is the universal currency on our planet." Ao Zhan introduced with pride:
"I think it's very troublesome to use refined gold to settle accounts for goods. I have to calculate the weight every time, and I can't tell at a glance whether there is more or less."
"But it's different with the Great Unity Banknotes. The denominations are clear and it's very convenient to make change!"
"Invisibly, it can save both parties of the transaction a lot of trouble!"
"Great, great unity..." Illya stared blankly at the red paper bills, and her heart finally died.
confirmed,
The other party is here to rob!
Illya has been a wandering trader for so many years, and she has seen other things used as a substitute for transaction currency.
For example, ores, herbs, and even tickets to secret realms.
Although they come in many different forms, they all have one thing in common:
It has a certain value in itself.
But this red note called "Great Unity" is just paper no matter how you look at it!
Is this worth a chicken feather?!
How much are a few chicken feathers worth?
"General Ao...ah no, Boss Ao is joking..." Illya forced a difficult smile on her face:
"The currency circulating on your planet cannot be used as payment for this transaction."
"After all, the situation in the universe is complex and ever-changing. For many years, refined gold, a hard currency, has been used as a bargaining chip..."
"Ah?" Ao Zhan glared, deliberately showing an extremely surprised expression:
"The universe is so big, is there no place to use paper money?"
"You revived many years earlier than us, but you are now living even more backward than us?"
"Is this reasonable? This is obviously unreasonable!"
Illya's difficult smile added a hint of embarrassment, and she patiently explained:
"The universe is so big, there must be some places using a currency like Great Unity."
“However, those are relatively stable star systems or small star regions with powerful leaders or leadership groups as credit endorsements.
“Under their guarantee, a currency that has no value in itself can have purchasing power.”
"But even so, a specific currency can only be circulated in a specific area and cannot be spread throughout the universe."
"Even the Xingheng Clan, which once gave birth to gods, cannot do this."
"Oh - I see." Ao Zhan looked suddenly enlightened and nodded very seriously.
Just when Illya was glad that she had convinced the other party,
The man opposite suddenly changed his expression, opened his mouth wide, and revealed a happy smile as if to say 'I have a good idea'.
"Well, sister, as the saying goes, you can't become fat in one breath."
"It will take too long to spread the great unity throughout the universe, so let's not think about it for now."
"But right now, it's still very easy to make it a bridge for transactions between you and me!"
"How strong is Lu Li? He is the overlord of the star domain! It is very suitable for him to serve as the credit endorsement of the great unity!"
