Behind me is the entire history of mankind!

Chapter 140

Lincheng has done a lot of business before, and he knows the truth that if he cares too much about minor interests, he will lose even greater interests.

This gambling agreement will indeed allow Xunying to gain more benefits, but for a qualified businessman, it doesn't make any sense to care about how much money other people can make.

What should really matter is what he can get.

Although the promotion of their motors will make the base the next airport, as Xunying said.

The innate superiority of Sky City and its reputation created by standing in this sky for a hundred years are unmatched by the base for a long time.

As a world trade center, the market in Sky City will be much larger than that in the base for quite a long time.

As Xunying said, they do not have "trust" in Sky City, and it is difficult to ship goods, but these air merchants who have been working in Sky City for many years have such an advantage.

They have a lot of selling risk, but the selling risk of these empty merchants is relatively small.

In the future, he will open a trade agreement based on this agreement. In order to attract air merchants, he will give the goods to those air merchant agents at a cheaper price than the base's official price.

You don't even need to pay for the goods immediately, you only need to pay a deposit to get the goods.

This kind of trade agreement sacrifices a little profit, but the advantage is stability. When the goods are expensive, the air merchants can make a lot of money, and when the goods are cheap, the air merchants will lose money.

But these have nothing to do with the base, because no matter the price of the goods in the market is expensive or cheap, the air carrier has to pay the initial agreed payment.

It is equivalent to passing on all the market risk and sales risk to the seller.

The most suitable for this kind of goods is to go in volume, so Lincheng will set a minimum shipment volume in the agreement.

If you want to get a discount and want to purchase without paying the full amount immediately, you must reach this shipment volume.

When the production capacity of the future base is up, it is far from being able to consume the few airships that only rely on the base or come to the base to refuel the hydrogen.

For example, in their cement factory now, as the level of alchemists grows, cement is less and less needed to build houses, which leads to a serious surplus of cement production.

Not to mention after the alchemist's job change is fully opened in the later stage.

And Sky City has this volume, which only Sky City can consume.

Moreover, with this size, even the goods they carry can be sold in Sky City in the way of "rare things are more expensive".

Of course, the future is not certain.

When the production capacity of the base expands in the future and the shipment volume gradually increases, the air merchants will lose the buff bonus of "rare things are more expensive", and the difficulty of sales will increase exponentially.

And if in the future, every air carrier has goods from the united front, and if they want to sell them, they need to rely on their own eloquence and marketing ability.

It is foreseeable that in the future, these space traders will be quite involved.

Of course, these have nothing to do with the base, which is not responsible for sales, so this kind of risk has nothing to do with the base.

They only need to be responsible for "duty collection" when the payment time is due.

As long as they still want to do business with the base, there is no need to worry about them running away.

This is the third carriage that drives the economy: "export".

In the short run, they sacrificed some profit, but in the long run, they sold goods that could not be consumed at the base.

In terms of quantity, they earn far more benefits than those sacrificed, and at the same time, the risks are relatively small. .

Lincheng will open up the concept of "exclusive agency" in the later stage, that is, the base does not sell the goods, but only a specific empty merchant sells the goods.

He can sell the "exclusive agent" in the form of auction. For the air merchants, the meaning of the title of exclusive agent and the benefits behind it are almost self-evident, so they will fight like crazy .

For Lincheng, he can obtain a large amount of foreign exchange in a short period of time, but his goods still earn the original profit.

It's a win-win.

No, in order to earn more profits, the air merchants must sell at a much higher price in Sky City than in the base, and wait until the base's goods become famous in the later stage.

Maybe it can also attract more non-empty ship forces to the base to buy relatively cheap goods.

Moreover, he can also use carbon coins that are almost cost-free to exchange for the foreign exchange that players earn through labor under this agreement.

So, he wins three times.

"Solid-state hydrogen batteries are the best seller. Baige must have this demand. Even if he doesn't buy them, it's easy to sell them to Sky City.

There are also drugs. By the way, whose work is the painting you brought?

Is it Miss Nan Sheng's painting too? "Xun Ying asked.

Lincheng silently motioned for them to put down the box, opened the box, and took out a painting wrapped in oiled paper.

Carefully unwrapping the oiled paper, the first thing that catches the eye is a very exquisite embossed wooden picture frame.

Relief carving is much more difficult than ordinary carving, and it also needs to be carved to create a three-dimensional effect.

The carvings on the door frame in front of you are not only three-dimensional, but also lifelike, showing the sculptor's superb skills.

Among other things, if you just sell this picture frame, you may be able to sell it for a high price.

In this era, there are very few people who can really calm down to make art, and this kind of object is completely rare.

Xunying has been in business for so many years, and knows the importance of packaging. If you put a painting on the table, it will be curled up and opened.

The buyer sees that you don't pay much attention to this painting, so naturally you will preconceive that this painting is not very good.

However, it is not enough to be too gorgeous, as it is easy to overwhelm the guests and make people focus on the frame instead of the painting itself.

The picture frame in front of him was obviously too gorgeous in Xun Ying's mind.

Next, when I look at the paintings, it is easy to feel that the paintings are mediocre.

He shook his head slightly in his heart, but still patiently watched Lincheng slowly pull out the painting.

After he saw the whole picture of the painting clearly, Xun Ying froze in place, staring fixedly at the painting in front of him.

The protagonist in the picture is full of emotional tension.Da Vinci likes to express the psychological state and emotion of the characters very much.

In the painting is a weather-beaten old man. From his face, he can feel that he has suffered endless torture.Beside him lay the lion that guarded him.

His right arm was stretched out, holding a stone in his hand, and he wanted to smash it on his chest to express atonement.The eyes are full of strength, looking to the upper right, as if seeking the forgiveness of the gods.

This work is full of unique power.The movements and gestures of the characters are dynamic.

The mirror-like depiction, the muscle texture like a photo, but it is not as realistic as the photo, it magnifies the beautiful things and dilutes the ugly parts, making this painting look particularly shocking.

The pious belief of the person in the painting seems to break through the boundary of the drawing paper and hit his heart directly. The oil painting on the drawing paper in front of him seems not to be a painting, but something that is happening at this moment.

It took a long time for Xun Ying to come out of the shock that the painting brought him.

In the past, he originally thought that Nan Sheng's paintings were already very good.

But when he really saw the painting, he realized what is truly excellent.

If it is said that Nan Sheng's paintings are beginning to take shape.

Then this painting seals a real soul in the painting.

That may be the redemption of the person in the painting.

He was wrong in thinking before, there is nothing more suitable for this exquisite frame than this painting.

Xun Yingzhi liked Nan Sheng's painting so much because it reminded him of his mother, although the painting in front of him didn't give him such a feeling.

But there is no doubt that it is much better than that picture of mother and child.

"What's the name of this painting?" Xun Ying asked.

"St. Jerome." Lincheng said, "it was painted by Mr. Da Vinci."

Xunying recalled the Da Vinci he met at the United Front base, "Isn't he an architect?"

Lincheng smiled, and answered the wrong question.

"The man in this painting is a hermit, living a hermit's life in the wilderness.

Mr. Da Vinci completed most of it many years ago, but it is only now that the painting is finished. "

"why?"

"Because he felt that he didn't know much about the muscle structure of the human body and couldn't draw the effect he wanted, so he turned his head to study the structure of the human body.

He is not only an architect, a painter, but also a sculptor, a doctor... He knows more about astronomy and geography.

That frame was carved by him. " Lincheng said.

"What a genius." Xun Ying whispered in a daze.

"It's worth mentioning that he is Nan Sheng's master." Lin Cheng said.

Xun Ying suddenly realized, "No wonder this painting is somewhat similar to Miss Nan Sheng's brushwork. No, to be precise, it should be that Nan Sheng is somewhat similar to his.

No wonder Miss Nan Sheng can have such painting skills at such a young age. "

"Nan Sheng's paintings can sell twenty blue scrolls. Is it okay for my painting to sell two hundred blue scrolls?" Lincheng said.

Although Leonardo da Vinci's paintings are priceless treasures in modern times, with a guarantee of hundreds of millions of yuan, they certainly cannot be sold at this price in this place.

As the so-called dead artists are excellent artists, Da Vinci is not dead now, so the prices of paintings are naturally limited.

Like Da Vinci used to sell paintings when he was alive, it was actually pretty good to earn a living.

Lincheng even felt that Xunying would not agree to the price of two hundred blue scrolls.

He just quoted a high price first and waited for him to bargain.

However, unexpectedly, Xunying agreed very simply.

"can."

Lincheng was silent for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and teased, "It seems that those buyers you know are quite wronged."

"What do you mean by injustice?"

"It's nothing, it means very rich." Lincheng said.

Xun Ying nodded, "I don't deny that."

Lincheng smiled and said, "We actually have another purpose for coming to Sky City this time."

Xun Ying smiled and nodded, "I know, we have reached a cooperation with the Sky City official, right?"

Lincheng's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at Xunying and smiled, "I think we will become very good friends."

Xun Ying shrugged and said, "I noticed when I saw your solid-state hydrogen battery, and that is exactly what Sky City is in urgent need of—battery.

If you can reach a cooperation with Sky City, maybe your motor will become the designated engine supplier of Sky City factory, and your engine has this qualification.

In that case, the promotion and profit that can be obtained will be much faster than that of a small air business like me.

Also, if you can help Sky City get rid of oil once and for all, they can help you with Alec Oil City. "

"Do you know the senior management of Sky City?" Lin Cheng said.

Xun Ying shrugged, "I'm just a small businessman, how could I know such a person, but there is one person I know."

"Who?"

"White Pigeon." Xun Ying spit out a name, he looked around and lowered his voice, "What do you think of White Pigeon?"

Lincheng recalled the appearance of the white pigeon, "It's okay."

"He is a well-known little boy in Sky City." Xun Ying said gossipingly, "I will tell you a secret, he is the second in command of Sky City, the vice president of Sky Chamber of Commerce, the chief of Sky City City Management, and the chief of Sky City Defense Force." Conductor: The Nightingale's Lover."

"Lover?" A subtle look appeared on Lincheng's face, "It's not appropriate to use this word."

"What's inappropriate, that woman has a husband who is not very good, what is this not a lover?"

"My mistress." Heygou suddenly said from one side.

Brother Li slapped him on the head with black lines all over his head.

"If you can't speak, just treat me like a dog!"

"I'm a wolf!" Heygou said unconvinced.

"It really should be fought." Jiang Ye complained, "It's really against the sky, this is still in his territory, what should he do if he hears it?"

Xunying came back to his senses, and looked at Lincheng.

Lincheng shrugged and said, "This friend of mine is indeed a bit outspoken."

"It's okay, she can't hear anyway." Xun Ying waved his hand.

"Can't hear anything?"

At this time, a cold female voice came from behind, making Xunying's body instantly stiff,
