Chapter 279 Jiang Zhengqing's Request
"Brother Wang, Jiang Zhengqing from the underground base is here and is waiting for you in the reception room of the government building."
Du Yuyan, who was sitting with Wang Jin on a Hummer heading to the city center, spoke, while Zhang Zhouming temporarily acted as the driver and drove the Hummer forward steadily.
"Jiang Zhengqing, did he tell me what he wanted to see me for?"
Wang Jin was a little surprised and asked Du Yuyan beside him.
"I don't know, he didn't tell us, he just said he wanted to see you, but I guess he probably wanted us to open a trade channel between the two bases."
Du Yuyan shook her head and expressed her guess.
"Those guys have tasted the sweetness of the trade. They can use the extra mutant beast materials and mushrooms, as well as population leases, in exchange for our arms and daily necessities. How can they easily give up this kind of trade?"
Zhang Zhouming, who was driving in front, also smiled and said with a sense of pride on his face, proud of the prosperity of the Lishan Base.
Compared with the almost zero business atmosphere of the underground base, the Lishan Base is much stronger.
"Now that we have occupied the Lingnan base and obtained a large number of people, we don't have to envy their underground base with a population of 100,000." Wang Jin thought to himself, with a sly smile on his face. Seeing Du Yuyan next to him, he felt cold in his heart, knowing that Wang Jin was going to cheat again.
The Hummer passed through several streets and soon arrived under the government building.
After getting off the Hummer, Wang Jin, accompanied by Du Yuyan and Zhang Zhouming, entered the reception room and saw Jiang Zhengqing waiting there, as well as Jiang Shishi, who was wearing a gorgeous long dress and light makeup on her face.
"Brother Jiang, long time no see, you are still as young as ever, and you have had a good time during this period."
Wang Jin laughed and gave Jiang Zhengqing a bear hug, teasing with a hint of meaning.
As for Jiang Shishi next to him, Wang Jin ignored her directly and treated her as air, which made Jiang Shishi clench her silver teeth secretly, and anger appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.
"Contrary to what you said, Brother Wang, I've been having a very uncomfortable time!"
Jiang Zhengqing smiled bitterly, sat back on the chair at Wang Jin's invitation, and complained to Wang Jin after taking a sip of tea.
"Oh, why is that!" Wang Jin asked knowingly, and Du Yuyan and Zhang Zhouming beside him smiled and laughed secretly.
"Brother Wang, don't make fun of me. It's all because of the survivors. Since you closed the trade channel, the survivors in our base can't use the resources in their hands to trade. They come to me every few days to make trouble. If the channel is not opened, I'm afraid riots will happen."
Jiang Zhengqing knew that the situation was stronger than people, so he had to endure it.
Not to mention in the end of the world, even before the end of the world, the weak have no right to speak, which is the same as the weak country has no diplomacy.
Jiang Zhengqing endured it, while Jiang Shishi glared at Wang Jin, as if to blame all the responsibility on Wang Jin.
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Wang Jin frowned and said in surprise: "I didn't expect this to happen. Our base was busy with a big event before. For safety reasons, we temporarily closed the trade channel. Who knew it would cause such serious consequences to your base."
Du Yuyan and Zhang Zhouming drank tea desperately, afraid that they would not be able to help laughing.
Wang Jin pretended to be serious. If they didn't know the truth, they would think that what Wang Jin said was true.
"We understand this. Didn't Brother Wang send a large army through the mountains? Could it be to attack the Lingnan base? Judging from Brother Wang's appearance, he should have taken it down. I would like to congratulate him here first."
Jiang Zhengqing's face was calm, and he actually knew Wang Jin's previous movements.
"I didn't expect Brother Jiang to know it. He is really powerful! I admire him!"
Wang Jin took a deep look at Jiang Zhengqing. He didn't even realize that he was being investigated. This Jiang Zhengqing is still a bit tricky.
"We live in the mountains, and we have spies everywhere. We happened to run into Brother Wang's army, so we know a thing or two. But these little tricks are far inferior to Brother Wang. You can take down the Lingnan base, this is the real strength, and I am the one who should really admire it."
Jiang Zhengqing said, bowing to Wang Jin.
Wang Jin thought about it and it was right. The underground base has lived in the mountains for many years, and it must be very important for reconnaissance. Wang Jin is also a large army, and the movement is not small, so it is not surprising that his whereabouts are discovered.
"Brother Jiang, you are too kind. The Lingnan base bombed us before. This time we are the army of justice, and we are going to seek justice!"
Wang Jin roughly explained the cause of the matter. In the end times, the strong are respected. Even if Wang Jin is an invader, Jiang Zhengqing dare not say anything.
"I understand this. I don't know much about the Lingnan base, but I also know that they have a large population and often rob and invade other bases. Brother Wang did a very good job and cleared a scourge for our Lingnan region."
Jiang Zhengqing smiled and complimented. Not to mention that he was not as strong as Wang Jin, but now that he needed Wang Jin, he would not say anything that would offend Wang Jin.
"Brother Jiang is indeed my confidant." Wang Jin's face smiled more and more, he picked up the teacup and looked at Jiang Zhengqing, then said after a moment of silence: "Brother Jiang, what you just said is not impossible, but..."
"Brother Wang, just go ahead." Jiang Zhengqing came to life, and the topic finally returned to what he was interested in. As for Wang Jin's conquest of the Lingnan base, it had little to do with him, and Wang Jin would not share anything with him.
It was still the commercial trade between the two bases that was related to his actual interests. What made him profitable was what Jiang Zhengqing really cared about.
"Trade can be opened, but the population rental price we discussed before needs to be renegotiated." Wang Jin drank the tea in one gulp, looked at Jiang Zhengqing with a smile, and waited for Jiang Zhengqing's reaction.
"Brother Wang, are you going to lower the price?" Although Jiang Zhengqing had been mentally prepared, he still had a dark face when he heard this, and said a little unhappy.
"Wang Jin, you are a jackal, a guy who crosses the river and destroys the bridge, I..." Jiang Shishi was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up. If she hadn't been stopped by Jiang Zhengqing, she would probably continue to curse.
Wang Jin's smile remained, but there was a cold light in his eyes. He looked at Jiang Zhengqing with a straight face and said, "Brother Jiang, you can also choose not to open the trade channel. I, Wang Jin, am not a person who forces buying and selling. You can think about it slowly."
After obtaining a large number of people from the Lingnan base, Wang Jin's demand for spiritual power was no longer so urgent. If he continued to rent the population, Wang Jin would naturally lower the price of the population rental that he had previously negotiated with the underground base.
Jiang Zhengqing's face was gloomy, and Jiang Shishi's eyes were burning with anger. She glared at Wang Jin fiercely, and was very dissatisfied with Wang Jin's inconsistency.
Zhang Zhouming and Du Yuyan looked at the two of them, silently feeling sad for them in their hearts. It was not easy to take advantage of Wang Jin. For the leader of the end of the world, it was normal to go back on his word as long as there was profit to be gained.
