Chapter 279 Trade Negotiations
Fu Qinghai asked Gladys to send people to collect all the crystal fragments of Ji Liu mineral, and then send them to Phaeton Forging World for the two sages to study slowly.
Scientists from the Enclave have deduced that radiantium ore is a magical mineral with a high energy density, and it has been tested on generators. If it is handed over to the technical priests of the Mechanicus, it will surely be able to develop more uses.
Now there are no humans left in the entire bottom nest area. The mutants who once lived here and had a good relationship with the little girl Su and helped Fu Qinghai have all been moved to the upper nest area. The remaining cult believers are Now they have all turned into sculptures of Ji Liu minerals.
After solving the problem of the "warning meeting", Fu Qinghai and Koshvitto talked about the funding of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the further expansion of the size of the Schwerin Corps, and then said goodbye to the Planetary Governor. Gladys was obviously reluctant to leave.
Fu Qinghai actually understands Gladys quite well.
She is very smart, and her methods are very ruthless (according to Kirshvitto). The cold-blooded cruelty and insidiousness passed down from the top nobles are engraved in her genes. From appearance to mentality, she is a standard Sommerfeld.
Although she already holds the high position of planetary governor, Gladys is just a girl in her early twenties, controlling the entire hive world alone. The huge whirlpool of power makes her indulge in it and enjoy it, but it also makes her physically and mentally exhausted. As a collateral member, the jealousy, suspicion and secret opposition of other family members made her even more isolated and helpless.
Two bloody coups involving the spire nobles, one by Baron Zemo (Tzeentch) and one by the Admonition (Nurgle), have wiped out many direct members of the Sommerfeld family. The good thing is that no one dares to oppose it anymore The disadvantage of the authority of the planetary governor is that Gladys doesn't have many family members to use it.
She wanted help from the Space Marine who had first helped her rise.
Fu Qinghai knew this in his heart.
But right now the big hunt matters.
Fu Qinghai stretched out his big hand covered with gauntlets, rubbed Gladys' head, messed up her delicate and meticulous gray curly hair, and then said softly:
"I'll take care of it when I get back."
…
It is a long journey to the Ullia Galaxy in the Extreme Star Territory, but Fu Qinghai is very patient. Patience is an essential attribute for a hunter. The white scarred hunting masters sometimes spend several days chasing a prey across the world. Ten years or even hundreds of years.
For example, the most famous hunting master of the White Scars Chapter in later generations, Corsaro Khan, lurked in the Gulf of Damocles war zone for many years in order to hunt Shadow Sun, the supreme commander of the Fire Caste of the Tau Empire, and finally finally Let him find an opportunity, ambush and attack suddenly, and almost kill Yingyang, just a little bit.
By the way, Shadow Sun single-handedly killed the Chapter Master of the Crow Guard, but he still managed to sneak up and ambush him.
When Fu Qinghai appeared in front of everyone wearing the Cyan Mountain Heavy Power Armor, the Space Marines in the company expressed their envy and said that I want it too, boss.
Joestar was the only veteran in the company who had ever worn Terminator armor. The model he was wearing at the time was the Hades Terminator, which was a tactical dreadnought armor developed at the end of the Great Crusade and was given priority to the Sons of Horus.
Terminator armor cannot simply be regarded as an enlarged and thickened version of power armor, because the templates used for both are different. Various parts of different models of power armor, such as helmets and shoulder pads, are interchangeable, but parts of Terminator armor and power armor are not interchangeable.
The Tactical Dreadnought Armor is said to be the dangerous environment work clothing of mankind in the golden age. The Terminator Armor does not have a power backpack and two circular nozzles. Instead, it has a giant energy back plate and a box-shaped nozzle. It also has the function of short-distance teleportation—— There is no need to rely on the delivery function of the delivery platform.
During the Age of the Legions, each Terminator unit of the Legiones Astartes had its own special moniker.
For example, the White Scar Terminator, the Kentka Terminator of the Night Lords, the Hydra Terminator of Alpha, the Red Butcher Terminator of the World Eaters, the Scarab Terminator of the Thousand Sons, the Death Shroud of the Death Guard, the Emperor The Phoenix Guard of the Emperor's Sons, Gastlin of the Luna Wolves...
They are generally equipped with cavalry-type Terminators, which have unique modifications and decorations. This type of armor has an atomic shield generator installed in the huge shoulder armor. However, this small shield technology has been lost, and the Indomitable type is common in later generations. Terminators do not have atomic shield generators.
The Cyan Mountain Heavy Power Armor was created by Fu Qinghai using the technology of the Mark-44 Hulkbuster armor combined with the unique weapons of the Human Empire. Like the Blue Shell Power Armor, it combines the best of both worlds, but only part of the appearance Modeled after the Iron Cavalry Terminator without a shield generator.
Because Mars supports the Phaeton's STC, there are only manufacturing templates for the Indomitable Terminator, and there are no Iron Cavalry type, Hades type and earlier Saturn type.
The scope of application of tactical fearless armor is actually not very large. Fu Qinghai had not even considered equipping his company with this armor a long time ago.
The battleship passages and the interior of the hive are the most suitable places for the Terminator armor to exert its power. Vehicles with better defenses and stronger firepower, such as the Dreadnought Mecha and the Knight Titan, cannot enter these places because they are too large. Ordinary power armor cannot defeat Terminator armor in such a narrow environment.
Fu Qinghai thought:
The cruiser that joined the Emperor's Children last time should have dragged away the cavalry-type Terminator. The traitors in the Eye of Terror want to wear Terminator armor, but they all rely on stealth and robbery. The God-Machine Brotherhood will snatch the Terminator. The armor was not too shabby to wear, but the enemy was too close at the time, so they had no choice but to grab the gene seeds first.
The Chapter's future Terminator troops...
talk later.
Fu Qinghai shook his head.
At this time, Lin Yu's voice sounded in the communicator:
"Khan, Yolanda Atela requests an audience."
"Let her in."
The cabin door slid open, and the Rogue Trader captain stepped in gracefully, lifting his skirt elegantly and bending down to salute:
"Hello, Commander."
"Please take a seat, Ms. Yolanda."
Fu Qinghai pointed to the seat in front of him.
"What do you think of the strengthening potions I gave you?"
Fu Qinghai asked straight to the point.
"Excellent, Khan."
Yolanda praised:
"I have tested the effect of every potion on my servants. Whether it is a healing potion, a strengthening potion or an anti-radiation potion, the effects are all outstanding, no less effective than the ghost spark powder."
The woman waved her arms and said with emotion:
"Your Majesty, I never expected that I would be robbed by orc pirates, betrayed by my partners, and then discover a new trade route. This is simply..."
The woman was so excited that she was at a loss for words.
"What is lost in the east is gained in the mulberry tree."
Fu Qinghai helped her summarize:
"An old proverb from Chogris perfectly describes your current situation."
"All right."
Although Yolanda didn't quite understand what she heard, she still nodded vigorously and said:
"In addition to strengthening potions, there are also mining vehicles, gravity guns, feather guns... Oh, and by the way, there is also the 'Nuka-Cola'. I personally think the taste is acceptable, but are you sure the technology priests of the Forge World will like it? "
Fu Qinghai shrugged:
"I'm not sure, I guess it depends on the Atela family's abilities, doesn't it?"
Yolanda nodded:
"Yes, although I haven't returned to the family yet, I think the entire dynasty fleet will support trade with Phaeton Forge World without hesitation. I even..."
Speaking of this, Yolanda hesitated a little, looked up at Fu Qinghai's face, and finally said:
"I even want to obtain the exclusive trade rights from the Phaeton Forge World to the Extreme Star Territory. I wonder if Khan and Master Quinto can..."
"Everything is negotiable."
Fu Qinghai waved his hand and said.
The exclusive trade authorization for an entire star field can be said to be a very big appetite. Yolanda is very greedy, but Fu Qinghai did not say anything, but expressed his attitude of being open to negotiation.
The dealer negotiates with the manufacturer about agency rights. If the manufacturer wants to be the exclusive agent in a certain area, the dealer must also show sincerity and strength - can you purchase goods in advance, or can you sign a betting agreement on sales targets? ?
Of course, due to the vast territory of the human empire and the extremely backward financial market, the above-mentioned marketing models are unlikely to be realized. Merchant trade in most star regions still remains in the form of payment and delivery or even barter. In the initial stage, there is neither stock market nor futures.
Fu Qinghai still values Yolanda very much. Although Phaeton Forge World has many unique technologies and exclusive products, the aroma of wine is afraid of deep alleys. The Marquez King District is too remote. If there is no Rogue Trader fleet to visit, No matter how good the product is, it can only be produced and sold behind closed doors.
Because it was a long-distance cross-star trade, Yolanda Atela had previously chosen high-value goods such as ghost spark powder.
In trade cooperation with Phaeton Foundry World, priority is also given to high value-added products such as feather guns and gravity guns.
Massive and cheap minerals are not within her scope of consideration. These are the highlights of galaxy trade and star sector trade.
The two reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.
Yolanda did not find it strange at all that Fu Qinghai, as Captain of the Astartes, was concerned about interstellar trade. In the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar, the Ultramarines also had political, military, and economic control. The people had long been accustomed to living under the governance of Space Marines. She just wondered why this white scar knew so much about business and trade.
I heard that Chogris is a backward feudal world, but Qingshan Khan is like a wise, shrewd and knowledgeable experienced businessman. He does not look backward or barbaric at all. When talking about trade terms, he speaks with confidence. Talked and put forward many interesting ideas and unique insights.
Yolanda stared at Fu Qinghai's face. His young face and powerful temperament were mixed together, which was very strange. The scar on the bridge of his nose not only did not weaken his handsome appearance, but added a touch of wild charm.
Alas, it's a pity that he is a Septon Astartes, and as we all know, Astartes don't have that kind of desire... If only he had been a mortal officer.
The Rogue Trader thought to himself.
After the two discussed it and talked about some interesting things and knowledge about the Five Hundred Worlds and the Hazy Star Territory, Yolanda said goodbye and left.
"call……"
Fu Qinghai sat where he was and stretched.
Other Space Marines only have to worry about fighting. I am both a father and a mother, taking care of all the affairs of the Phaeton Forge World. I am even more of an Ultramarine than an Ultramarine.
Fu Qinghai stood up and walked behind the captain's cabin, intending to go to the meditation room to continue practicing the Force. The facilities on the Suzheng were more luxurious than those on the Liema, including the various facilities in the captain's cabin. If it was a long-term journey, Naval captains who like to have fun while sailing, such as von Ravensberg of the Gothic Fleet, will definitely like this configuration.
There is a box in the cabinet next to it, which contains Zhang Yuning's underwear, which Fu Qinghai put away himself. When she was still on the Liema, Zhang Yuning refused to live in her own cabin and insisted on living in the back room of the captain's cabin. Before leaving, she deliberately left some personal clothes behind, as if to declare her ownership of this area. Sovereignty, like animals marking their territory with pheromones.
Seeing these things reminds me of Zhang Yuning.
Thinking of her flawless and beautiful skin, her slender and flexible water snake waist, her rustling breathing, hiss...
Fu Qinghai recited three times silently in his heart:
"No need for passion, calm mind."
"No need for passion, calm mind."
"No need for passion, peace..."
Use the Jedi Creed to suppress your bestial instincts.
Then he told Lin Yu: Don't disturb him unless it's urgent.
In the meditation room, Fu Qinghai sat cross-legged and meditated with his eyes closed, gradually entering a deep state of meditation.
