Chapter 454 Cooperation Agreement
"So why are you looking for me?" Zhang Hao asked.
Bonnie saw that Zhang Hao was interested, so he said, "If the biological resources of the earth were to flood into the trading market all at once, it would definitely cause an imbalance in prices and even disrupt the current balance of the City of Light."
Yusuf said, "So we found you. We also asked Qin Wuyan, your fellow villager. We know that you can make decisions on behalf of the Earth. What we need is to talk to someone like you."
Ripley on the side continued, "In order to avoid disrupting the energy balance, we hope that Earth can sign an energy supply treaty with the City of Light, and we will be responsible for releasing the amount of energy that flows into the market."
Yusuf also said: "Bioenergy has a more important role to play for our advanced civilization, so it is the best solution for us to allocate the energy that flows into the market."
After saying this, the three of them looked at Zhang Hao with hope.
They didn't explain it in detail, but the most important thing about bioenergy for developing civilizations is that it can be used as an energy source, an energy source for transportation, or an energy source for weapons.
But for advanced civilizations, it is an indispensable component for them to build everything and develop science and technology.
Because advanced civilizations have developed to this stage, even they themselves mostly exist in the form of energy bodies.
This way of existence means that they do not need gorgeous buildings or delicious food, but instead replenish their energy consumption through bioenergy.
Moreover, at their level of civilization, they will no longer collect energy through plundering, which is one of the purposes of their establishment of the City of Light.
They earn the energy they need on a daily basis through market transactions in the City of Light.
So they need more bioenergy, and they also need to maintain the balance of the market economy represented by the City of Light.
After listening to their words, Zhang Hao thought a lot in his mind in an instant.
Obviously, if the Earth takes control of the distribution rights of bioenergy into its own hands, it will definitely occupy a more active position in the cosmic society. The Earth can even use its energy advantages to establish cooperative relationships with more developing civilizations and even advanced civilizations.
Of course there are also shortcomings, and Zhang Hao is clear about this.
Although the Earth has a vast amount of bioenergy, which can be called an extremely important strategic material in the universe, with the Earth's current strength, it is obviously unable to protect this energy well.
Zhang Hao still knew the principle that an innocent man would be guilty of possessing a treasure.
In the universe, there are law-abiding businessmen like Ace, and there are also robbers like Zoe who make huge profits by plundering.
This situation also exists on Earth. It is difficult for oil-rich countries in the Middle East to preserve their exaggerated oil resources on their own. Whether it is for sales or to avoid being coveted, most of them choose to rely on superpowers.
The advantage of doing this is that they only need to .
The situation Zhang Hao and the Earth are facing now is the same as those oil-producing countries in the Middle East.
It’s even more cruel in the cosmic society!
Zhang Hao quickly faced the reality.
The Earth is overtaking others because of Zeus's deeds. It is a low-civilization planet that entered the cosmic society ahead of time and does not yet have the ability to sell bioenergy on its own!
Zhang Hao made a decision quickly. The decision that would be most beneficial to the Earth now was to agree to the other party's conditions.
But he did not agree directly. Instead, he said with some embarrassment: "I definitely agree with this, but this is related to the future development of the earth after all. If I were alone, I'm afraid it would be difficult to make a decision."
Zhang Hao pretended to be embarrassed and said so.
The leader Bonnie immediately said, "Mr. Zhang, since you can represent the Earth to come to the City of Light, I believe you must have the power to make such a decision. If you have any concerns, you can tell us, and we will show our utmost sincerity."
"Well, thank you for your kindness, but for such a big matter, I really need to go back and discuss it."
The three of them were not angry, they just nodded, and then Bonnie asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, are you still worried that the terms of the agreement will not satisfy you?"
Ripley also immediately said: "We can purchase your bioenergy in full according to the current market price of bioenergy. This way, we can exchange money for goods at the same time. Mr. Zhang, you will have fewer concerns. What do you think?"
Zhang Hao was delighted. He didn't expect that the advanced civilization was so rich.
Ripley added: "Your Earth has just entered the cosmic society, and there are actually many areas where you need funds. For example, many of the scientific and technological technologies of our advanced civilization require cosmic coins to purchase." He was hinting at this and at the same time helped Zhang Hao better understand the laws governing the operation of the cosmic society.
Bonnie added: "We can even help you develop technology on Earth so that you can better adapt to the environment after entering the universe."
Zhang Hao was delighted, this was the condition he wanted to hear most.
He knew deeply that even if the earth sold energy, if its own strength was not developed, no matter how much money it had, it would only become a dog farmer.
Only when you are strong can you be truly strong and better protect the solar system.
The three of them looked at Zhang Hao with a smile. Such conditions were already very impressive and were most in line with the current development of the earth. They didn't think that Zhang Hao would miss such conditions.
Zhang Hao finally gave in. He said, "I will go back and tell them about the conditions of cooperation. I believe none of us would want to miss such a good opportunity."
"Hahaha~ Okay, then we'll wait for your good news!"
As advanced civilizations and the people in charge of managing the City of Light, the three of them were naturally outstanding and could naturally understand the meaning of Zhang Hao's words. This matter was basically settled.
But Zhang Hao frowned again.
Seeing this, Ripley asked, "Mr. Zhang, is there anything else you're worried about?"
Zhang Hao sighed and said, "It's just a matter of bidding for eight super energy engines. Earth has offended Organization X again. These guys were originally planning to plunder Earth's resources. They dealt us a heavy blow last time. I'm afraid they won't give up."
Bonnie nodded and exchanged opinions with the other two people. They agreed with Zhang Hao that Zoe and his X organization were a very unstable factor.
Once a cooperation agreement is reached with the Earth, there will be a steady supply of bioenergy transported from the Earth to the City of Light. If Organization X robs and plunders on the way, it will be a threat to both the Earth and the City of Light.
“This Zoe! I think it’s time to make him disappear! He’s been jumping around for so many years, do you really think we can’t catch him?!”
"really!"
"I agree, but the Cosmic Court has been trying to capture Zoe for so many years without any result. I'm afraid..." Ripley was not sure either.
Zhang Hao said: "Maybe this is an opportunity?"
