Chapter 1533: I have a business deal here that you might be interested in

Central City, Channel Hotel.

Kedi Zao returned to his room and opened the communication terminal at the corner of the table.

The terminal screen lit up, the contact list on the interface scrolled a few lines, he stopped at one of them and pressed the dial button.

A voice with a slight hoarseness came from the speaker.

Kedi Zao? It's evening over there, isn't it? What made you think of contacting me?

Kedi Zao leaned back in his chair and said in a relaxed tone.

Gekeka, I have a business deal here, I want to ask if you are interested.

A slight movement sound came from the other side of the communication device, then Gekeka's voice appeared again.

Tell me directly what kind of business it is. You usually don't contact me for no reason; a business that makes you take the initiative to call must be quite significant.

Kedi Zao said with a smile.

I have secured a ship procurement deal here in the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance. The quantity is very large, three hundred ships in the first batch, the condition of the ships is intact, and the price is settled by exchanging materials. I cannot gather all the exchange materials by myself, I need someone to partner and share the burden.

There was silence for two seconds on the other side of the communication device, and Gekeka said in shock.

Three hundred ships? Are you sure those are three hundred complete and usable ships, not scrap metal?

Complete sealed stock, the hull structure is intact, the core components of the main thrusters and weapon systems are all there, they can be put into use directly just by doing external marking adjustments and main control system replacements.

I have checked the list, the ship types and parameters match the market price. The people of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance are very efficient, they organized the list of those three hundred ships in one night.

Gekeka asked.

How is the quote from the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance side determined? What materials do they want?

Brocade Ore, half of it, the other half made up with other ores. They said the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance is carrying out an agricultural production increase project, and the energy characteristics of Brocade Ore can accelerate the growth cycle of crops, so they want this. The condition is to source goods through non-trade channels, the ratio has already been negotiated, and I agreed.

The breathing sound on the other side of the communication device paused significantly when the words "Brocade Ore" appeared.

Brocade Ore? The one on the non-trade list of the Greer Union? Those Xiuluo Holy Star people even know this; their understanding of the Union's mineral resources is deeper than I imagined. How much Brocade Ore can you source?

The channels are limited, but it can be sourced in batches, as long as we don't purchase a large amount from the same mining site at once, it won't trigger the records of the Mineral Administration.

I need you to use your channels as well, we will gather it together, just enough to cover half the value of the goods. The other half will be made up with other ores.

After checking the information on his side, Gekeka said.

I have a channel here that can regularly get small batches of Brocade Ore from mining sites in the north of the Union, the quantity is not large but stable.

Superimposing your channels should be enough to meet the batch requirements. As for other ores, I have a batch of ready-made inventory in my warehouse here, which can be transferred directly.

Kedi Zao nodded and said.

Then what about the ratio of your capital and material investment? Fifty-fifty? Or calculated based on actual input?

Calculated based on actual input. The channel value of Brocade Ore is higher than ordinary ore, but the transportation cost of ordinary ore is low, so the gap will not be too large after converting to base units. You first organize the list of your channels and send it to me, I will synchronize and check the inventory on my side, and then determine the final ratio after confirming the total amount.

Can do.

At this time, Gekeka suddenly remembered something and said.

I have recently received several transport orders from the direction of the Kaoquanzao Free Territory. Those cargo owners mentioned in the process of chatting that the Kaoquanzao Free Territory is issuing a procurement intention to the military supply department of the Greer Union, wanting to buy a batch of ships to supplement the losses of the border defense fleet.

Kedi Zao's breathing rhythm became rapid when he heard this sentence.

Didn't the Kaoquanzao Free Territory and the Xikushi United Nations just stop fighting and form an alliance? Logically speaking, their fleets should have merged, why do they still need to supplement losses?

The merger is correct, but the degree of ship loss of the two sides is different. Now that they are allied, the gap in the unified defense line is mainly on the Kaoquanzao Free Territory side, so they need to supplement equipment.

The military supply department of the Greer Union has not yet officially responded to their procurement intention, but according to standard procedures, the military supply system of the Union will not prioritize meeting the procurement needs of external forces; they must first ensure their own fleet establishment.

Kedi Zao's fingers tightened slowly on the desktop.

If the Kaoquanzao Free Territory cannot get ships from the Greer Union, they will turn to other channels.

And my inventory, that batch of ships from the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance, can just fill this gap.

Their budget is sufficient, and the procurement channel is faster than that of the Greer Union. As long as they release their needs and someone can supply the goods, they won't care where the goods come from.

Gekeka agreed and said.

So if you can successfully get your hands on that batch of three hundred ships, you won't have to worry about buyers at all when you want to sell them later.

The Kaoquanzao Free Territory alone can eat up most of them, and there is no problem in reselling the rest to the Xikushi United Nations or other surrounding forces.

Moreover, they are short of ships now, if they are racing against time, the price will not be pressed too low.

Kedi Zao nodded and said.

Gekeka, send me the channel list of Brocade Ore as soon as possible, and also organize a list of the ordinary ore inventory that can be mobilized. I will synchronize the docking window with the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance on my side to ensure that the ships are ready when the first batch of materials arrives.

Okay, I will organize it tonight and send it to you tomorrow. Also... I will bring a few more crew members with ship operation experience when I take the crew to the Xiuluo Holy Star.

The corners of Kedi Zao's mouth rose slightly.

I have already been thinking about it. The ships from the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance still need to have their external markings adjusted and their main control systems replaced. If we finish the modifications directly over there and then take them away, we can deliver the goods directly when we get to the Kaoquanzao Free Territory, without waiting for another round of modification cycles.

Gekeka on the other side of the communication device let out a short laugh.

You are thinking one step ahead of me. Then that's it, I will send it to you after I organize the list, and I will also arrange the crew members on my side simultaneously.

Good, let's stop here for now, contact me when you are ready on your side.

The communication hung up.

Kedi Zao stood by the window, looking at the scenery of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance outside, and whispered to himself.

The Kaoquanzao Free Territory is looking for ships, the military supply system of the Greer Union won't supply them, I have three hundred ready-made ships in my hands, with only a transshipment time difference in between, I can make a big profit.
