655 Peaceful Takeover (1/2)

The exchange rate was like a knife. If it were used well, it would be able to cut off a large piece of meat from the players participating in the market without any effort.

The Federation's merchants' attempted to completely shrink the mutated fruits farm area by dumping low-priced nutrient supply so that they would then gain complete control of the nutrient supply production.

However, Gear Commerce of Chamber did not think that NAC would directly devalue the crystal in their hands through leveraging the exchange rate.

NAC had complete control of all the mutant farms in NAC region. And those farms accounted for 20% of energy consumption in NAC! This was already a very high number.

Depreciation of the crystal was like a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting oneself.

The only difference was that NAC could withstand this loss and could wait until the value of the crystal returned to normal, but the Gear Chamber of Commerce couldn't. Unless they didn't want to do business and hoarded the crystal in the warehouse for a long time.

Unless NAC opened a dedicated channel for the exchange of credits and crystals... but it was obviously an unfeasible option.

Zhao Corporation purchased about 500,000 boxes of nutrient supply from the market and transported it back to the Sixth Street by NAC's cargo airship. Now the population of the Sixth Street exceeded 100,000, the floating population was above 70,000, and hundreds of merchant fleets moved through the area.

The nutrient supply consumed every day there was three times that of Hongcheng. The excess nutrient mixture would soon be transported out of the Sixth Street by merchant fleets to other regions. With areas under NAC control free of any danger, the cost of transportation was very low.

With Qingshan market returning to normal, there was still a few incidents left to be resolved.

The Gear Chamber of Commerce was in a desperate situation. It was about to welcome its inevitable collapse.

Jiang Chen immediately sent a merchant from NAC to register a shell company in Federation, and then contacted shareholders other than Liu Hong about the acquisition of their shares.

Instead of using the depreciated crystals, he used credits.

The minority shareholders wanted to get rid of their shares as soon as possible. Although the rational majority shareholders were wary of the hostile takeover proposal, when NAC's premium rose from 10% to 20%, they couldn't resist the temptation.

Was holding the full warehouses of crystals with Liu Hong worth it, or was accepting the credits from NAC and starting over somewhere else a better option?

Smart people already made their decisions.

However, a smarter person made a decision even Jiang Chen didn't expect.

The most luxurious hotel in Qingshan.

The guards outside were guarding the door, and inside...

”...Gulp, gulp…” After taking a drink, the beauty gasped for some air and gently brushed her hair. ”Did that feel comfortable?”

”Of course.”

Sitting by the window, Jiang Chen patted the beautiful face looking up at him with a sly smile on his face.

The beautiful woman smiled softly. She slowly stood up, picked up her clothes, and covered her slim figure.

”Astonishing. I thought you would live in a luxurious palace.”

Looking at the perfect hands putting on her clothes, Jiang Chen laughed.

”I won't stay here for a long time. It doesn't make sense to clean the palace out.”

Wu Qian, the third largest shareholder of Gear Chamber of Commerce. When the merchant sent by Jiang Chen went to see her, she made a special request to the merchant - ”I agree to sell the shares, but I want to meet your leader.”

After getting permission from Jiang Chen, the NAC people escorted her to Qingshan. However, when they met, Wu Qian proposed to become the spokesperson of NAC in Federation and attached quite an attractive condition - voluntarily becoming his mistress.

Wu Qian was keenly aware that NAC's acquisition of Gear Chamber of Commerce was not for the purpose of ruining the largest chamber of commerce in the area, but intended to include the entire Federation within its rule. As a result, controlling Gear Chamber of Commerce was much more important than destroying it.

For assets far from Wanghai, NAC's geographic separation would make it difficult to govern. Therefore, the decision was bound to be choosing a spokesperson as they did for the Empire.

Ever since knowing this fact, Wu Qian too had her own initiative.

For Wu Qian's proposal, Jiang Chen felt surprised. He did intend to retain the Gear Chamber of Commerce, and he also considered the idea of a spokesperson to help him manage Federation. However, he had yet to think of a good candidate. The President would be Yu Jicheng, but the person overseeing the chamber of commerce… he must find someone smart and easy to control.

And Wu Qiao, just happened to be a good candidate.

虽然江晨觉得她的附加条件很没必要,但本着嘴边的肉不吃白不吃的原则,他很无节操地接受了她的”服务”.

于是便有了刚才那出香.艳的戏码...

吴芊已经穿好了衣服,恢复了那端庄而不失威严的女强人仪容,就好像刚才什么事都没发生一样,微笑道.

”那么,先前说好的事,就拜托您了.”

离开房间的时候,她礼貌地带上了房间的门.
