Chapter 1464: Bailan Interstellar Trade Group
Soon after, the contract was signed.
Guided by the relevant fairy staff, Zhao Chen's villainous mercenary fleet sailed toward a coordinate.
Upon reaching their destination, they saw the interstellar transport fleet waiting there.
With nearly 30,000 interstellar warships of various sizes, the scale is quite large.
However, the vast majority of these interstellar transport ships are still T3 level, with only a small number being T4 level.
This is also because the Fairy Federation tribe itself has low industrial capacity. Other interstellar civilizations are willing to do business with them, but they will not easily hand over their core technologies to them.
In many universes, T5 and T6 level technologies are still core technologies.
Only the Fairy Federation tribes, at the T4 level, have access to this technology.
This is why these interstellar transport ships are all of the T3 and T4 class.
You can even see some T2 and T1 level interstellar transport ships.
This raises the question: "It's one thing to have T3-level interstellar transport ships, but why are there also T2 and T1-level interstellar transport ships?"
"The speed is simply not enough to keep up."
This is a question raised by the deputy captain next to me.
Lilith explained, "When faced with difficulties, everyone will naturally seek their own solutions."
"Take a look at the sides, belly, and rear of those T5 and T4 class interstellar transport ships. Don't you see anything strange there?"
Upon closer inspection, the vice-captain was indeed able to spot some strange devices.
At this moment, the T2 and T1 level interstellar transport ships were slowly approaching, connecting to those strange devices, and finally attaching themselves to the hulls of the T4 and T5 level interstellar transport ships.
The scene... was like a small fish clinging to a large fish in the ocean.
"The interstellar traders of the Fairy Federation tribe also know this, but they themselves have a hard time finding enough T4 and T5 level interstellar transport ships."
Currently, the most numerous are naturally the T1 and T2 class interstellar transport ships.
So they came up with a way to solve this problem.
That is to enable these T1 and T2 class interstellar transport ships to connect with T4 and T5 interstellar transport ships through a certain technology, allowing the T4 and T5 interstellar transport ships to tow them and even perform warp drive.
Of course, this also carries certain risks.
It is said that on average, 20% of small interstellar transport ships disappear without a trace each time they travel in this manner, and the result is obvious to everyone.
But compared to the benefits, this risk is nothing.
The deputy captain suddenly realized.
Sure enough, when faced with difficulties, everyone develops some strange and wonderful technologies.
Zhao Chen glanced at these interstellar transport ships; they were old and outdated.
Among interstellar transport ships of the same class, Zhao Chen could see no fewer than thirty different models.
This is enough to show how the interstellar traders of the Fairy Federation tribe went to great lengths to piece together these interstellar transport ships.
The only distinctive feature of these interstellar transport ships is that they have two emblems on their hulls.
One is a pink 'flower fairy emblem'.
This means that these interstellar transport ships all come from the Fairy Federation tribe.
Then there was a emblem similar to a white orchid, which represented the White Orchid Interstellar Trading Group.
Zhao Chen stared at the emblem of the Bailan Interstellar Trading Group.
They also retrieved relevant information about the Bailan Interstellar Trading Group.
The Bailan Interstellar Trade Group can be considered one of the first interstellar traders established by the Fairy Fairy Federation tribes as they entered the era of interstellar travel.
She was even called the first generation of the Flower Fairy.
Of the original ten merchants of the Flower Fairy, only the Bailan Interstellar Trading Group remains today.
The other nine were either eliminated, absorbed by other rising stars, or reorganized.
Almost no one has continued using the original name.
Only the Bailan Interstellar Trading Group remains.
The Fairy Federation tribe appears to be a united organization, but this is in terms of external relations; internally, however, it is always fiercely competitive.
Within the Fairy Flower Federation tribe, the law of the jungle—survival of the fittest—has always prevailed.
As long as you follow their default rules, you can seize other people's market share and customers, while also cooperating with them to grow your own business.
In short, as long as it's within the rules and you can do it, no one will condemn you.
Some might ask, then why bother setting up rules at all?
Actually, the rules of the Flower Fairy Federation tribe are very simple.
Article 1: No one shall threaten the safety of the Flower Fairy Federation tribe and its people for any reason.
This is easy to understand: you can use any means necessary, but you cannot betray your own people.
Everyone agrees on this point. The reason why the interstellar trade group established by the Flower Fairy has been able to reach this point is related to their own abilities, but it is also because they are backed by the Flower Fairy Federation tribe.
Without the existence of the Flower Fairy Federation tribe, they would just be ordinary interstellar traders among the many universes.
Instead, it wouldn't have the brand name 'Flower Fairy'.
Article 2: Interstellar traders of the same race shall not be harmed or coerced by force or other means.
This is a red line. They are interstellar merchants, not assassins or hunters. If this restriction is relaxed, it could lead to bloodshed among the flower fairy interstellar merchants in the future.
Then came some regulations.
The general direction of the regulations is that you can use any means necessary in the business world, but only commercial means.
If you use other means to damage the Flower Fairy brand, you will tarnish the Flower Fairy brand.
That would lead to being scorned by all other Fairy Interstellar Traders, ultimately resulting in bankruptcy.
Throughout the history of the Flower Fairy Federation tribe, there have been flower fairies who have taken risks, but they have all been dealt with by the community.
No matter how powerful a Fairy Interstellar Trader is, she is still just an Interstellar Trader.
When all the Flower Fairy Interstellar Traders are combined, they form an interstellar trading empire!
Returning to the White Orchid Interstellar Trading Group in front of us.
The Bailan Interstellar Trade Group has grown to its current state through its own resilience and is now known as one of the top ten interstellar traders in the Fairy Flower Federation.
It is currently controlled by the two sisters.
Flower bud Lanlan and Flower bud Nini.
Currently, the main activity is interstellar trade in some medium- to high-risk areas.
It's not that they don't want to conduct interstellar trade in some low-risk areas; it's because their market share has been taken away by others.
That's all that's left now.
Meanwhile, this situation is worsening.
Rumors are circulating that the Bailan Interstellar Trading Group is experiencing cash flow problems, and if its next few deals run into trouble, it may go bankrupt.
The earliest Flower Fairy, the first generation of ten merchants, will become a thing of the past.
As the saying goes, it's better to offer help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade.
Therefore, the vast majority of the candidates recommended by the Azure Water Elf King fall into this category.
While finding such a candidate may be challenging, it also represents a high potential reward.
"It's clear that the Bailan Interstellar Trading Group is currently in a rather unfavorable situation."
"Such an interstellar transportation project, and the president's sister is personally in charge." Zhao Chen looked at a T5-class interstellar shuttle patrolling in the distance.
The emblem of the White Orchid Interstellar Trading Corporation is very prominently displayed on it.
"Yes, according to my calculations."
If this deal goes smoothly...
They will receive the equivalent of four months' worth of profits, which will greatly alleviate the financial situation of their Bailan Interstellar Trading Group.
"But at the same time, this operation is also quite dangerous," Lilith said from the side.
"Is there danger? Your Majesty..." The vice-captain immediately looked at Zhao Chen with concern.
In their view, nothing was more important than His Majesty's safety.
Lilith explained, "However, this danger is nothing to our Imperial Guard fleet."
The vice-captain breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Lilith began to recount the main points of this mission.
First, they were heading to a universe in a state of war, and their target area was a high-risk zone.
What is a high-risk area?
It's an assessment that indicates a high-risk area where you might be attacked for no reason, no matter where you're sailing.
Generally, it is not recommended that others enter this area.
This high-risk area is currently in a state of chaotic fighting.
The one who reached an agreement with the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group was an interstellar lord who called himself the Lord of Jinshan County.
Jinshan County is a self-proclaimed territory, essentially a small star system pieced together from several star systems.
In this chaotic universe, because everyone's territory is of different sizes, many different levels of nouns have emerged.
This kind of 'county' is one of them.
It is a term referring to a special territory between star fields and galaxies.
"This Lord of Jinshan County has purchased a batch of interstellar warships. Although it has not been announced, according to my calculations, it is approximately three thousand interstellar warships."
And they are all T5-level interstellar warship core modules.
The Lord of Jinshan County had already completed most of the construction of these three thousand T5 interstellar warships; now all that remained were the core modules.
The Lord of Jinshan County was unable to build these core modules himself and had to purchase them from outside.
Since it currently lacks its own transportation capabilities, the entire process naturally relies on the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group.
The reason why the Lord of Jinshan County was in such a hurry for this batch of interstellar warships was because a powerful lord was rising around him and had already annexed the forces of several other lords.
This has led some weaker lords to choose to pledge allegiance to this newly rising great lord.
