Two-dimensional Writing Wheel Eye

"Your Excellency Lin Shang, the captain of the Merchant Ship Beidou. This is the captain of Baki Lulu."

Following Lin Shang's introduction, Austin nodded unconsciously. He had two captains, which meant that this 'Crescent Caravan' had at least two merchant ships.

"Everyone is very welcome to join our business group. I want to say that this is definitely not the wrong choice. But before that, I still have to declare the rules of our business group."

"rule?"

"Of course, we run the business to make money. After joining the business group, we can ensure the safety of everyone during transportation in the universe, and in return, you must hand over 40% of the profit of each business operation to the business association."

40% of profits, which is not a small amount.The business group will take nearly half of the income without making any investment. Such 'extortion' is inevitably unacceptable at first glance.

Seeing the expressions of these people, Austin is also clear, "I am afraid that you are new to the universe to do business, right? 40% of the profits turned over is very fair in the universe."

Resources that are scarce on earth are readily available in the universe.Although it is difficult to ship the goods directly to the earth because of the blockade of the council members, as long as they are successfully sent to the 'World Tree' space station, they can get a lot of money, and the price difference is often more than ten times the purchase price.Even after deducting the cost of shipping, you can get nearly ten times the profit.

In contrast to such a high profit, there is a huge risk. Needless to say, encountering pirates is the universe itself. For the current technology of human beings, it is still very dangerous for people to want interstellar travel.Because of this, joining a business group can avoid the occurrence of danger to the greatest extent.In this case, even if you pay half the profit, you can still make a lot of money.

"Okay, Mr. Austin, I see. I agree to your terms."

Surprisingly, the person who spoke was a boy who had been ignored since he walked into the room. It was a boy who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. Austin thought he was the daughter of Captain Lin Shang, who also looked like an East Asian. , so don't pay too much attention.

At this time, he was surprised to find that it was such a neglected boy who made the decision.

"But, Jian... Master, have you really decided to join the business group?" Lin Shang tried to make his last effort. They were the army, the glorious Madinez space army.But as the commander of the United Nations Space Force, he has to run business... If it is on Earth, there is nothing vulgar in running business itself, and it will not make Lin Shang so disgusted, but everyone knows that running business in the universe is a convention. Synonymous with smuggling, the dignified commander of the fleet has blatantly violated international law, and the accomplices are the United Nations sergeants of the fleet, including him and the two captains of Bucky Road. This is really not a commendable idea.

But Lin Shang's efforts were doomed to be in vain.If they get along for a while, Lin Shang will understand that Lin Xiao is not a person who likes to act alone. More often, he gives the right to make decisions to his subordinates, but once he makes up his mind, it is rarely changed.

"Of course, the captain of the family, the captain of Baki Lulu, this matter is settled."

A tough answer, but the army's mission is to obey the orders of the superiors. Lin Shang, who remembers the identities of both sides, can only bow his head helplessly: "Okay, I understand the young master."

The scene in front of him made Austin a little surprised, but he also realized who the three were in charge.

This is not difficult to understand, especially seeing that the middle-aged captain, although his face is unpleasant, can't say anything to refute.No, that might not be 'unpleasant', but more like 'dare to be angry but not to speak'!

The dandy young master of a big family on earth, and the captain of the family, this is easy to guess, isn't it?

"I'm glad you made such a choice." Although he was still surprised, it was also good news for Austin and his business group. He held out his hand again, but at this time he already understood that the etiquette should be who to greet

With a big wrinkled and boring hand, he shook hands with Lin Xiao, "I don't know what you call it?"

"Lin Xiao, you can call me Captain Lin Xiao."

"Okay, Captain Lin." Austin just regarded it as a joke by Lin Xiao. He searched carefully in his mind, but did not find any information about the big family with the surname 'Lin'. Put it aside temporarily, after all, if the other party has only recently entered the universe, it is not surprising that there is no information.

"Then, I want to ask if you have the relevant documents ready?"

Joining the caravan does not require legal documents at the national level. In fact, it is just an unofficial organization formed spontaneously by the people.However, in order to facilitate management, the business group will also make a registration record inside.And signed in the form of a binding contract, once the contract is violated, the consequences for both parties are very serious.

In fact, the so-called information only needs the information of the merchant ships newly added to the business group, including the legal berthing documents on the satellite, and the basic information of the crew - to the greatest extent possible to prevent the party from being a pirate.

And when Austin took over the document and read it carefully, although he had been surprised several times today, this time it was the strongest.

"This...this is your merchant ship!?"

There are two spaceships on file, as Austin had expected.But... Austin even had some doubts about his own eyes, he never thought that those two ships would be...

"Destroyer!"

Can't be wrong, that's the military's battleship, or at least it used to be.These were actually two merchant ships converted from destroyers!God knows how strict the control of the civil 'space use' weapons is by the council. Even the large business groups rarely own warships. The Austin business group is already one of the largest business groups in the l3 satellite group, and only has two ships. Small frigates of the 100-meter class.

In such a situation, two warships can be obtained—although they must be old ships that have been retired, this in itself can show the strength of the opponent's family.

The 120-meter-class destroyer, although it is the lightest and weakest ship in the spaceship sequence of the council members, even has the title of 'thin-skinned coffin', but it is a military warship after all, not a civilian merchant ship. , equipped with anti-ship torpedoes, anti-air missiles, and even high-energy guns. These are weapons mastered by the military, and they are definitely not available in the ordinary black market.One to ten is not an exaggeration in space warfare.

The contract to join the business group was signed very smoothly, and it can even be said that it went too smoothly.The originally negotiated 40% of the profits turned over, but Austin voluntarily conceded, and it was reduced to 25%. A family that can purchase retired military ships from the military has absolutely no harm in building a good relationship.What a luxury to use two destroyers as merchant ships...

Mr. Austin obviously did not think that Lin Xiao could buy warships, but it was difficult to buy commercial ships.After all, his 'Night Moon Commune' did not produce civilian ships, so he had no choice but to order two of the most 'backward' destroyers, which were dismantled and repaired to make them what they are today.

The matter of joining the business group was easily settled, and the three walked out of the stronghold of the Austin business group. The gravity of the 'Da Gama' satellite is slightly lower than that of Earth, making it feel as if walking is a lot easier.

"Your Excellency, I still don't think this is a good choice. Even if you want to obtain information from businessmen, there should be a better way."

"For example, to investigate directly as the military?" Lin Xiao's expression was very calm, making people unable to guess what he was thinking, he deliberately paused for a moment before continuing: "As a businessman, I really dare not offend the military, that is The quickest way. But how do you know that the information we got is not the information that others deliberately let us know?"

"I really don't like this artificial satellite."

Lin Xiao, who was talking, was walking on the street, surrounded by a bustling crowd.As a commercial satellite under the Atlantic Federation, the greening here is really not very good, because the lack of green on the roadside always gives people a lifeless feeling.Instead, bars can be seen everywhere, and occasionally drunk people pass by, with an unpleasant smell of stale alcohol.

"This is the life of the universe, Captain." Lin Shang answered with an inexplicable loss of tone: "Being able to have gravitational feet on the ground is already a blessing in the universe."

Only when you leave the earth can you truly feel the attachment to that blue planet.Things that were taken for granted, here people have to do their best to reproduce it with their own technology - but that is just false after all.It's hard to feel secure when you think of the empty space beyond the metal frame your feet are stepping on.Even the sunlight and the air are false, the air seems to be cold with inorganic qualities, and the artificial light source has no warmth from the sunlight at all.

Now for a piece of news...

The commercial program originally broadcast on the stereo projection in the center of the street was interrupted, and it was replaced by a woman of European and American descent who spoke fluent English.

... At 3:9 a.m. today, the No. [-] mine in the Meteorite Belt collapsed. As of [-]:[-] a.m., there was no report of casualties among citizens. At present, the Atlantic Federal Police is investigating the cause of the accident and has blocked the mine. The details will be reported later by reporters.

The mining accident was a disaster that occurred frequently in Lin Xiao’s world in the past. The only difference was that the mining accident here happened in the universe.However, it was a great fortune that there were no casualties—just as Lin Xiao was thinking about it, he heard a disdainful 'hum' from his side.

"No 'civilian' casualties? That sounds good..."

The speaker was an unfamiliar Asian man, wearing slightly shabby clothes, standing at the corner of the street, just a few steps away from Lin Xiao.His voice was not loud, even a small whisper, but the familiar Chinese attracted Lin Xiao's attention.

"What's wrong with the news?"
