Chapter 2411: Chapter 2403: Risk Assessment

Feng Jun heard He Runxian’s voice and immediately knew what he was laughing about, and he indifferently expressed.

"Who I want to help and who I don’t is my own business, what... does the Pioneer Bank still want to force me?"

He Runxian understood his tone right away, realizing that it wasn’t the right time to talk about the strength of Pioneer Bank, nor was it convenient to discuss his own pressures—those were certainly things the other party didn’t want to hear.

So, he continued with the strategy they discussed earlier, "I still say the same thing; if there’s something you want, and it might not be convenient for you to handle, Hesheng has certain advantages in some areas, but Pioneer Bank... has wider channels."

Feng Jun felt slightly moved but expressed otherwise verbally, "Haha, can they provide Energy Stone Mining Equipment?"

He Runxian certainly couldn’t let Pioneer Bank snatch his order, so after a brief pause, he responded, "That’s really a joke; they’re not as professional as Hesheng."

"Then forget it," Feng Jun rejected decisively, "I don’t have any other needs in the short term."

Seeing his decisive rejection, He Runxian didn’t have time to care about much else, "Just a moment, considering you’re in barter trade, you must have trouble with account turnover, Pioneer Bank is very capable in handling accounts."

Feng Jun wasn’t necessarily intent on rejecting, and upon hearing this excuse, he hesitated for a moment, then coldly chuckled, "Do you think I don’t have the ability to conceal accounts? And honestly... I prefer trading with Energy Stones."

This character is perfectly in line, a broker should be like this.

However, He Runxian had already sensed his hesitation and spoke with a smile, "How should I put it? The road always expands as you walk, who can predict the future? It’s always good to leave a favor now... will make future encounters easier, don’t you think?"

Feng Jun pondered for a moment before responding, "Who from Pioneer Bank is negotiating with you? I want their detailed information."

He Runxian was stunned initially but soon realized, surprisingly feeling a bit pleased—are you going to deal with him?

Honestly, Director He had a decent relationship with that person, but when the other party needed his help, there was a bit of coercion involved, which he wasn’t too happy about, "It’s President Bell from the Zuo Jing District."

Feng Jun was even more skeptical, "The president of just a district has the qualifications to directly talk to you?"

"I’m just a director of a production base," He Runxian responded gloomily; the difference in scale between the two was too significant, even on the Native Star, the district president was qualified to connect with him, but the President of Xingzheng Star was equivalent to He Huiqing!

"I definitely want to teach him a lesson," Feng Jun snorted coldly, "Knowing a couple of arms dealers is impressive? Can they sell me some arms; can he produce them?"

What He Runxian heard made him gasp quietly, this response was quite troubling.

He wasn’t worried about the illegality of brokers buying arms; with the war at such a critical juncture, private arms trades weren’t a big deal anymore.

What he worried about was another situation: if Pioneer Bank couldn’t break the Insect Race’s blockade, yet these people could ship goods here, is there collusion with those ugly insects?

There were few cases of the Human Race defecting to the Insect Race, but using the Insect Race to suppress dissent and for their own profit was quite common—for instance, certain planets make demands for autonomy under the guise of wartime.

The Human Federation possessed several hundred habitable planets, and being a federation, the central government had generally limited control over local regions.

He Runxian had constantly worried about this matter, and upon hearing Feng Jun mention it, his head was about to explode—not because arms couldn’t be traded, but... he really didn’t know the other party’s background!

Feng Jun noticed his lack of reaction and pondered briefly, deducing some possibilities,"Why, can’t I buy arms to protect the Energy Stone Mine?"

"It’s not that you can’t buy arms, but now is not the right time," He Runxian replied bitterly, "It’s not that I don’t trust you, the key issue is I don’t know your background, it’s wartime now, what if you buy arms to hijack interstellar trade ships?"

Feng Jun snorted lightly, as if laughing from anger, "I’ve already told you, I’m not short of money... wouldn’t it be better to set up more mines with my efforts? Or do you think my Energy Stone Mine is a fabrication?"

I know for sure you have a mine, He Runxian could only continue with a bitter smile, "I believe you, but Pioneer Bank has professional risk assessment experts, your request absolutely wouldn’t pass their risk assessment and the transaction would not be approved."

"Forget it if it’s not approved," Feng Jun replied languidly, "I’m not begging them... who indulged them with such habits?"

"This isn’t laying out conditions, it’s making things difficult," He Runxian replied gloomily, "Better change the condition."

"If you know your capabilities aren’t enough, don’t brag," Feng Jun retorted disdainfully, "I really have a need to buy arms... can’t use it outside this star system either?"

"In principle, it’s impossible," He Runxian replied bluntly. "If I agree to your request, and the news gets out, some of the military transport ships might end up getting hijacked... then it would really be hard to justify."

"Are you serious," Feng Jun was taken aback, even though he was used to the treachery of human nature, "Can things really be done this way?"

With the Insect Race as the looming threat, operations like this still happen within the Human Federation? This shows a lack of governance ability in the Human Federation.

"The human heart is unfathomable, who can really say?" He Runxian sighed, "Maybe you could think of another request?"

"If I don’t agree now, the conditions I just raised seem to have ulterior motives," Feng Jun sighed deeply. "How about this, uh... in the supplies last time, there was a Leukocyte Proliferation Inducer. Do you remember that?"

"I remember," He Runxian answered without hesitation. Though relatively young, he was over sixty and had seen too much life and death. "That drug is quite mature, but it has strong side effects and isn’t used by many people... how much do you want to buy?"

"I want to set up a production line," Feng Jun stated calmly, "and I’ll also need some raw materials."

"That’s simple," He Runxian agreed without hesitation, "That drug can be produced on Xingzheng Star. I’ll arrange for them to organize a production line for you... the manufacturing process and everything will be given to you, but you’ll have to figure out the drug approval number yourself."

As he responded, he was puzzled: Is this even a request?

This time, he didn’t believe Feng Jun would give this drug to the Insect Race—this inducer is only effective for humans and useless on insects, and given the Insect Race’s indifference to life, they wouldn’t care about immunity.

But he still had some doubts: I know you don’t understand pharmaceuticals, but you guys are well-informed brokers. Can’t you just buy a production line from Xingzheng Star? Why bring it up this formally?

The next moment, Feng Jun’s answer solved this puzzle for him. "If I don’t buy from here, who knows how long Xingzheng Star will be blockaded. If something goes wrong with the production line and the medicine is in short supply due to a lack of backup, I’ll be cursed at."

He Runxian suddenly understood, "That makes sense. This production line for the drug is manageable... after all, it’s not expensive. But why do you want it?"

"Since it’s not expensive, just trade it without asking why," Feng Jun replied with dissatisfaction, "Is this item sensitive too?"

"Not sensitive," He Runhua quickly responded, "I mean, for such minor conditions, feel free to ask for a couple more."

"I can only think of this one for now," Feng Jun replied solemnly. "I’ll bring up any others later. Also... I won’t contact the Pioneer Bank, nor will I accept delivery in space outside the star system. I’ll only coordinate with you and pick up the goods in the Dumbbell Star System. Is there any problem with that?"

"Well... I need to discuss this with them," He Runxian hesitated before answering, "The Pioneer Bank has quite a temper."

His words had an accusatory tone. After all, the He family had worked hard to establish a connection, but the Pioneer Bank was trying to cut them out, which was excessive. However, Hesheng couldn’t refuse—neither the production base on Native Star nor the Hesheng Headquarters could afford to show disrespect.

Feng Jun snorted coldly, "Tell them, I don’t indulge bad behavior."

Later that evening, He Runxian contacted Feng Jun to say he had spoken to the Pioneer Bank. They said that purchasing a production line was simple, and they agreed to deliver the goods in the Dumbbell Star System. However, they hoped to meet in person since it’s a transaction involving millions of tons of goods.

He was actually trying to push things to a breaking point, feeling quite angry. But President Bell of the Pioneer Bank, being an old fox, calmed down as soon as he realized that a negotiation was possible and even made concessions.

"Millions of tons... are you crazy?" Feng Jun sneered, "How many people from the Pioneer Bank are on Xingzheng Star?"

"Just over 800 in mid-level and above," He Runxian pondered aloud, "Counting employees, there are just over 8,000. Including related external business operations... no more than 20,000, but if you count their families, that’s significant."

"Why should I care about those families?" Feng Jun retorted. He was willing to help others, but how could they demand so many supplies when they neither fight on the front lines nor produce in the rear?

Thinking they can throw around money just to suppress people? Sorry, but while others are suffering in this crisis, I won’t give you the chance to flaunt superiority!

He straightforwardly stated, "Fifty thousand tons... I will only deliver 5,000 tons, and they must also be responsible for the production line, or there’s no deal... Lastly, I will not meet in person!"

He Runxian received this answer and contacted people at the Pioneer Bank again, "Mr. Bell, your insistence has successfully angered my partner. They decided to only transport 50,000 tons of goods..."

After he finished speaking, President Bell expressed extreme dissatisfaction.

"Five thousand tons is not enough. We have 30,000 employees, and 100,000 tons is just the first batch... Director He, I know you’re causing trouble. My assistant must meet the other party for negotiations. This condition is non-negotiable."
