<h4>Chapter 641: The Business Opportunity behind the War</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>_Min_ <strong>Editor: </strong>Rundi


    NAC’s deration of war against Empire caused an earthquake in Hucheng.


    But a more destructive earthquake urred in the Sixth Street hundreds of kilometers away.


    The morning of the third day, when the day just broke, the Sixth Street bank was crowded with a massive group of people. Compared to the survivors in ragged clothes in Hucheng, these people’s hair style and fashion was much more morous. Their faces were also filled with excitement and joy.


    Eight in the morning, the bell of the hour rang from the bell tower.


    The instant the sign changed from <Closed> to <Open>, the crowd began to move.


    “Fu*k! Don’t push me, are you rushing to reincarnate?!”


    “Why are you pushing? People in the front can’t even walk!”


    “Don’t cut the line! Fu*k, where’s your courtesy?!”


    “…”


    The guards already prepared yellow lines to separate the crowds into lines to maintain order.


    Because of the existence of newspapers, they received the sess from the frontline at the earliest time. While at the same time, multiple newspapers of the NAC all had the same headline.


    <NAC’s soldiers demolished Guru Tribe mutated humans, freed twenty thousand ves,rge amount of low contaminant soil at Golden River Farm for sale>


    Jiang Chen’s iron seal was printed along with the headline.


    Underneath the headline, the Sixth Street Bank analyst assessed Hucheng poption as well as the most critical investment value. With the backup of the military government, the rating was of course A+.


    It wasn’t because Jiang Chen was trying to fool the Sixth Street investors, because Hang City’s Merchant Alliance also gave a simr rating of A.


    Compared to the coastal area of Wanghai, the poption and radiation level of the soil were both higher than ind; only the military government controlled Shengxiang Town’s soil quality was better. Therefore, the ntations in NAC territory had rtively poor performance.


    With the increase in poption, including the Sixth Street, all the Wanghai survivors consumed an astronomical amount of nutrient supply. Since not everyone could afford to eat actual food each meal, most of the people’s consumption consisted of the disgusting nutrient supply.


    But with the average spending of the poption also rising, most of the people could afford nutrient supply above B grade. And the ingredient of the B grade nutrient supply was the basic “produce” of the wastnd – mutated fruit.


    The mutant pasture recently poprized in NAC also required consumption of arge number of mutated fruits as the feed for Long Haired Pig.


    Not only mutated fruits, Carm tree sap, bullet shell grains, and other ingredients also had high demands in the Sixth Street.


    Therefore, all the investors acutely captured two keywords from the newspaper: “Labor” and “Land”.


    With those two things, whether it was mutated fruit or Carm tree sap, the demand could be satisfied.


    And because of this, the investors were eager to take out the cash from their pockets and rush to foot the bill of the war.


    …


    It was the same as thest time when the war bond was sold. Chu Nan sat at the spot by the window while eating buns, drinking soymilk, and reading through the newspaper on the table. Zhao Chenwu sat across him; the council member that shed the boss of Zhao Corporation woke up early every morning to not miss the breakfast at the council building cafeteria.


    “War is always the catalyst for the economy.” Chu Nan stuffed the bun into his mouth while ncing at the jam-packed group of people outside with a grin.


    “I cannot agree more.” Zhao Chenwu nodded.


    The bank sat beside the council building, and the line extended from the door of the bank all the way to the square in front of the council building. The people swinging their bills had higher morale for the war than the soldiers unleashing bullets in the bunkers six hundred kilometers away.


    The war against Guru Tribe consumed around one million in credits for the cost of bullets, missiles, bombs, and other supplies. But the war was only for two days before more than half of the one million credits were recovered.


    No, they even made some money.


    With the money from the investors, NAC could send more orders to the military factories. At the same time, the investors spending money in Hucheng will invest more credits there to build farms, construct factories on NAC’s colony, and bring more prosperity to NAC.


    When Chu Nan thought about this, the usually calm Chu Nan was particrly delighted.


    Zhao Chenwu, on the other hand, was more collected. It was not because he had an indifferent attitude… it was because heughed enoughst night.


    The biggerpanies with a positive rtionship with NAC didn’t need to be like the investors outside, lining up at the bank door. They had special “VIP windows” to purchase arge amount ofnd.


    Although Zhao Corporation mostly focused on the food business, they maintained a segment of their business in nutrient supply. With 1000 acre of high-quality soil in Golden River farm, when he finished calling Jiang Chen yesterday, he almost fell down from his chair due to happiness.


    But despite being happy, in order to best develop the farm six hundred kilometers outside, he still had urgent matters to discuss with Chu Nan.


    “Speaking of which, the airship is indeed great.” Zhao Chanwu eximed while looking at the people outside, “If the airship can be used inmercial transportation, we will no longer need to engage in crossfire with the raiders along the way.”


    When Chu Nan heard Zhao Chenwu’s words, he found itical.


    He had worked with this guy for quite a period of time and he knew exactly what he was thinking. Although the old fox’s eyes were looking out the window, his attention was on him.


    “Okay, you know it is pretty hard to obtain helium. Before we can meet the military demand, we don’t have ns to open the production for a private airship.”


    Zhao Chenwu looked awkward having being caught red-handed by Chu Nan, he chuckled and continued to ask without shame.


    “What about hydrogen? Without helium, we can use hydrogen as a recement. Since we are floating above the clouds, the probability of an ident is low. It should be okay if I order a few hydrogen airships.”


    While a hydrogen airship was more dangerous, from a cost perspective, transporting by air costed much less than transporting bynd. As long as the ident rate was controlled below 1%, even with a few idents, it was a profitable situation.


    “You’re not afraid of death, eh.” Chu Nan nced at him, “Are you sure it is safer to float in the air? The raiders even dared to shoot the NAC blimps, they won’t let you go free either.”


    “Don’t worry, we’ll bear any loss!” Zhao Chenwu used a negotiating tone.


    “That’s enough, there is nothing to discuss here.” Chu Nan dismissed the idea before putting thest bun in his mouth, “But if we do have that n, we’ll notify you immediately.”


    With Chu Nan’s firm stance, Zhao Chenwu had no other choice.


    “Please and thank you.”
