Chapter 562: The Fiscal Problems of Beck Nation
Chapter 562: The Fiscal Problems of Beck Nation
"Rare metals are fine, but I don't think we need gold," Cindy Doppier shook her head. "I'm aware of the mercenary camp situation. Your world must be short on gold, right?"
"Absolutely," Su Yu replied with a bitter smile.
Five tons of gold could exchange for a single 5th-tier mercenary, and there were many other military and industrial applications. How could they not be short on gold?
"So, you should keep the gold for yourselves," Cindy Doppier said earnestly. "Once we end the war and unify our nation, as allies, I will find a way to supply you with a batch of gold. Our Skrul planet has a decent gold reserve."
"Thank you very much!" Su Yu smiled, his eyes conveying a sense of respect.
No wonder in his previous life, when discussing Cindy Doppier, several leaders like "Iced Black Tea" referred to him as "a forever reliable and trustworthy ally."
Leaders who not only think about their own interests but also care about their allies' are rare.
"Doppier, in what areas can I assist the 'Anti-Union Organization'?" Su Yu asked, looking him in the eyes with a serious expression.
Cindy Doppier's lips curved into a smile. "Of course, it's the 'Spatial Rings' you mentioned last time."
"Spatial Rings?" Su Yu nodded, understanding dawning on him.
"Exactly, the 'Spatial Rings'," Cindy Doppier placed his hands flat on the table, his face unusually serious. "Currently, we don't have a large-scale source of 'Spatial Rings' from the Holy Silver Federation. If you can mass-produce and sell these rings to us, it will be a highly profitable monopoly!"
"The demand for 'Spatial Rings' on our Skrul planet is significant. Even 3rd and 4th-tier ordinary cultivators want spatial storage equipment. There will be no shortage of market here."
"Once the 'Spatial Rings' sell well, it will greatly alleviate our fiscal problems."
"As distributors, how about we split the profits from the 'Spatial Rings' sales at a 10% to 90% ratio? I take 10%, you take 90%."
Saying this, he looked at Su Yu with an expectant expression.
"Um," Su Yu rubbed his chin, thinking.
But then, he looked at Cindy Doppier with a puzzled expression. "But isn't a 10% to 90% split too low for you? Will just 10% really solve your nation's fiscal issues?"
"Hehe, that's where you're not in the know," Cindy Doppier chuckled, raising a glass of Lakeworm juice and toasting towards Su Yu. "As long as I announce that our Beck Nation has independently mastered the technology to manufacture 'Spatial Rings' and can produce tangible items, I can attract investments from many major capital groups worldwide. The stock market can also be hyped up to achieve a second wave of gains. What's faster than financial speculation?"
"Alright, I admit I'm a layman," Su Yu wiped his sweat.
His mindset was still rooted in the era of industrial capital, where every penny counted, while Cindy Doppier had already figured out how to leverage financial tools to profit globally.
Cindy Doppier then became serious. "However, there's one point I must emphasize, and it's very important!"
"Go on," Su Yu said, looking at him.
"During the production of 'Spatial Rings,' make sure it doesn't get detected by the Expeditionary Force's surveillance equipment!" Cindy Doppier stressed. "If the production process is discovered, our cooperation will be exposed!"
"Don't worry about that," Su Yu reassured him.
Su Yu assured them, "I'll have the most loyal and reliable military mages from the United Government handle the creation of the rings, and I'll set up a large shielding magic array."
"And the process of making 'spatial rings' involves 36 steps, with the final step being personally handled by me. This ensures that even if the expeditionary force's surveillance sees the process, they won't guess that we're making spatial rings."
"Then I can rest easy!" Sind Doppler downed the insect juice in one gulp. "To our successful collaboration!"
"To our successful collaboration!" Su Yu also took out a cup of Da Hong Pao tea from Wuyi Mountain and drank it in the same manner.
The collaboration was agreed upon amicably.
"However," Su Yu suddenly thought of something and put down his teacup, looking at Sind Doppler.
"Even if I bring a large batch of 'spatial rings' over, that will only happen a month from now. What do you plan to do in this month? Water from afar can't quench a nearby thirst, right?"
Sind Doppler's smile slowly faded.
He awkwardly placed his cup on the table. "What else can we do? We can only borrow from the International Bank. Printing money is definitely out of the question; the domestic inflation is already unsustainable."
"I have a good solution," Su Yu smiled and took out a bottle of [Grandmaster-Level Life Recovery Elixir] from his necklace, placing it in his palm. "Do you recognize this?"
"This!!! Feeling the dense and almost radiant spiritual energy waves from the bottle, Sind Doppler's eyes widened as he stared at the elixir.
After a long moment, he nodded seriously. "I haven't seen this elixir before, but my father once saw it at the Blazing Sun Palace during a banquet. It was a treasure brought back by the Second Prince of Blazing Sun from the Holy Silver Federation!"
"It's not exactly a treasure," Su Yu smiled and shook his head. "This is a bottle of Grandmaster-Level elixir, ten times more potent than Master-Level! For us Legendary powerhouses, it can bring us back from near death to almost fully recovered within three seconds. It's a lifesaver!"
As Su Yu spoke, he took out two more bottles, aligning three bottles in the air. "If I give you these three bottles to auction, it should help alleviate your financial pressure, right?"
"Absolutely," Sind Doppler lost his composure, swallowing hard and nodding frantically.
"An elixir of this quality would cause a frenzy among the Legendaries at an auction! They're all wealthy, and each bottle could fetch 50 billion Blazing Sun coins! But—"
He suddenly wilted. "But, Su Yu, how do I explain the source of these three bottles? I can't say I found them in an ancient ruin, right?"
"Rest assured, I have a way to solve this!" Su Yu smiled easily, putting all three bottles back into his necklace.
"Once I return to Blue Star, I'll have a way to get the elixirs to you without arousing suspicion from other Skrulls. Moreover, I can help you obtain a legal basis for manufacturing 'spatial rings'!"
"What exactly is it?" Sind Doppler asked curiously.
"Let's not ask now, you'll know when the time comes," Su Yu teased.
"Alright then." Since Su Yu didn't want to say, Sind Doppler didn't press further.
