The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons Chapter 176

  Chapter 176 New way to make money

   "So I want to make a deal with you. There are two ways of trading. You can listen first."

"The first transaction method, I can buy a finished flagship from you at a premium, whether it is a dreadnought or an aircraft carrier. With a flagship, I have the capital to attract some small teams, and I also have the capital to compete with the senior teams in the outpost. , as a price, you only need to pay me ten trillion yuan in the early stage, and the remaining funds can be paid off in the next three years."

"In the second transaction method, you only need to pay me 20 trillion yuan and sell me a flagship blueprint. I don't want the rest of the funds. You only need to send troops to help me win the war when the Shata civilization is defeated in the future. The next living planet."

   "And if you can help me capture a living planet in the future, I will pay you 20% of the estimated value of the planet in cash or supplies in the next ten years according to the assessed value of that living planet."

  Li Qing rubbed his forehead and said with a smile:

   "You have a clear mind, these two ideas are very good."

  Wang Yanqing laughed and said:

"Boss, don't blame me for taking advantage of the fire. I think you two can only get two living planets at most, and you can't grab the extra ones. You might as well give them to me, as long as you help me grab one. I swear by the will of civilization. In the future, I will follow your lead and advance and retreat with you!"

"Well"

  Li Qing carefully considered the two trading options, and made a decision almost instantly, saying:

   "The second type."

   After a pause, he added:

   "There is no need for blueprints anymore. I will sell you a finished aircraft carrier directly. It is the one that was damaged on the battlefield before. I have already repaired it. You only need to equip the crew and space fighters yourself."

  Wang Yanqing was overjoyed when he heard this and said:

   "The finished aircraft carrier is of course the best, you only need to pay 18 trillion yuan."

   "Okay, you are ready to receive."

   “I have time anytime.”

   Everyone is happy, he saved a large amount of debt, and Wang Yanqing got his promise, and there is a high probability of winning a living planet in the future.

   It can't be said who loses who gains. Although a living planet is extremely valuable, he can't **** it. Instead of making others cheaper, he might as well give it to his own people, and he can pay off debts, killing two birds with one stone.

   And after taking over the planet, he can still share 20% of the share, and Wang Yanqing swore an oath to the will of civilization with him as the leader, so he is a high-quality younger brother.

  For Wang Yanqing, although he only got 20 trillion for 1780 trillion, but for him, Li Qing's promise was definitely worth 20 trillion.

  A living planet, without Li Qing's support, it would be very difficult for him to grab one among the crowd.

   Once one can be won, its direct value will be two to three trillion trillion, and the follow-up value is even more incalculable. In any case, this transaction is worthwhile, and both parties will not lose money. It is a win-win situation.

   Farewell to the overjoyed Wang Yanqing, Li Qing smiled and shook his head, waiting for the next team core.

  The rest of the core members of the team all have only 1.5% of the original shares. They don't have the good luck of Wang Yanqing. He can't promise them to grab the planet. He is going to give money directly.

  Of course, there is not so much cash now, and he plans to pay in installments within one year.

  The Yan brothers and sisters came second, and he went straight to the point, using the same rhetoric as Wang Yanqing just now:

   "It is definitely impossible for me to take out so much money in one go now, so I am going to pay in installments, pay part now, pay part in half a year, and pay it off in a year. What do you think?"

  The two siblings looked at each other, and the younger sister said:

   "We don't have a problem. Anyway, we won't go anywhere when the legion is disbanded. We'll hang around here."

   Li Qing stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand, shaking hands with the two brothers and sisters one by one:

"Then enjoy the cooperation, and wait for the evaluation price to come out. In addition, if you have spare money, or want to develop here for a long time, you can buy some land in the core star field of the territory. Even within the planet, you are allowed to buy no more than one hundred square kilometers of land."

  The eyes of the two brothers lit up, and they said happily:

   "Thank you, Chief."

  Li Qing waved his hands and said:

"Everyone has been working together very happily. This is a gift from me to you. By the way, the territory is going to re-plan the planet after a while. Then you can choose carefully. It is best to be in the city, where the land price is the most expensive. valuable."

   "Then we will not be polite."

  Next, he successively received several other core members, Deng Wu, Zhang Ruoyang, and Duan Qian. At this stage, they are the only ones who have original shares and are about to withdraw. Li Lie and Li Qi will definitely not leave.

  The same rhetoric, they all agreed.

  As compensation, everyone promised to buy a piece of land not exceeding 100 square kilometers.

  In addition to them, other core members of the team have this treatment, including core members who joined later but did not have original shares.

  Elite members also have preferential treatment and can buy land, but it is not so big, only ten square kilometers.

  The entire legion only has more than a dozen or twenty core members, and several hundred elite members. The total amount is less than 10,000 square kilometers, which is just a drop in the bucket compared to the planet's total land area of ​​more than 200 million square kilometers.

  Although the land belongs to them, the production value on this land also needs to pay taxes.

   For the lord of the planet, no matter what counts, he will not suffer.

   A week later, more than a dozen evaluation agencies calculated for almost half a month, and finally evaluated the potential of the planet.

Calculate the size of the reef lair planet itself, the climate environment, and the cost of emigrating to human species, and then calculate the location of the planet, etc., and finally evaluate that this is a third-class top-grade planet, with a total evaluation value of 3200 trillion, and he estimated The 3000-3500 trillion is not much different.

  A total of 3200 trillion, 1.5% is 48 trillion, 5.5% is 176 trillion.

  Wang Yanqing's can be ignored for the time being, a total of five core members with 1.5% of the original shares are 48 trillion each, adding up to 240 trillion.

   "Good guy, it all adds up to more than four trillion trillion!"

  Fortunately, my husband and wife own most of the shares, and Ding Youran, Li Lie and Li Qi are their own people, and not many are divided.

  For example, the first owner of other large legions only has half of the shares, and it would be an exaggeration to share 30 to 40%.

According to the agreement just now, he needs to pay 20% in cash first, or replace it with a ship, and then pay 30%-50% in cash after half a year. remaining.

   Calculated comprehensively, he needs to prepare 66 trillion funds for the first batch, and an aircraft carrier flagship.

   "Go and make money!"

  Li Qing informed his wife that night and left Chuyuan to guard the house, so that if something happened to the territory, she only had to tell Chuyuan, and Chuyuan would be able to find him immediately.

  Both of them are negative stars. At this stage, as long as they are both in the Milky Way, they can sense each other's position and can communicate with each other through the Rubik's Cube, so that they are not afraid that they will not be able to understand the territory if they run too far.

  If something happens, with his current talent bonus, 3000% jump distance bonus, even in other spiral arms, he only needs to rush back in a very short time.

  Before leaving, Li Qing found Li Qi, handed over five trillion yuan to him, and said:

   "Get ready, I will divide you a dreadnought ship and a hundred battleships, and about 500 other large and small battleships. You are going to form a caravan and go to the hinterland of the United Human Empire to trade through the Zutar star field."

  Li Qi pondered for a while, nodded and said:

   "It's no problem to run a business. I'm also interested in visiting the United Empire of Mankind, but what do I mainly trade?"

  Li Qing pinched his chin and said:

   "Rare crystals, homopolymers and other rare metal elements."

  He wondered:

   "Where do we get so many rare mines for sale?"

  Li Qing waved his hands and said:

   "You don't need to worry about where it comes from, just trade these. For the first transaction, you buy food, all kinds of food."

   Li Qi spread his hands:

"All right!"

   "Then you go to prepare the assembly fleet first, and prepare the trade fleet for you in two days."

  Backing back to the Palm Universe, Li Qing came to the material storage place of the original legion that was temporarily piled up in the starry sky. It turned out to be the property of the legion. Now the legion is about to be disbanded. These are the private property of the territory.

  Speaking of which, although it is confirmed that the legion is disbanded, and the Senate of the United Human Empire has recognized his status as the planet lord, he has not officially announced the dissolution of the legion and the establishment of a territory.

   "Let's make an announcement tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

  With a thought, a huge tractor beam flew out of the high-dimensional fortress, sucking all the massive ore piled up here into the high-dimensional fortress, directly falling into the casting furnace of light, and quickly transforming into rare crystals.

  A large amount of limestone, gray spar, iron-like ore and other worthless ores are converted into another crystalline substance by the super substance conversion furnace in the casting furnace of light.

  Rare crystal is a rare element that is necessary to build X-slot battleship main guns, all level 5 weapon accessories, battleships and flagships, and special function accessories. Now the price in Jinmen is 800,000 star yuan per side.

  A large amount of cheap raw ore was cast into the melting furnace for transformation. When the rare crystals of the standard side were transformed, Li Qing checked the transformed substances for the first time, and immediately showed shock.

   "So much money?"

  Because the demand for refined steel is the highest, he has always converted refined steel. He has never tried to convert rare metals. He never thought that only 50,000 cubic meters of basic raw ore can be refined into a square of rare metals.

  Limestone is 3.7 star yuan, iron-like ore is 3.9 star yuan, and gray spar is 3 star yuan.

   Even if it costs 4 star yuan per side, 50,000 square meters will cost 200,000 yuan.

  The market price of one party's rare crystals is as high as 800,000, and one party can earn 600,000.

   "I made too much money, I lost blood!"

  If I had done this earlier, I would have earned a lot of money in blood.

   But after being excited for a while, Li Qing calmed down again.

  Although this is said, it is actually impossible to do that. He needs refined steel to synthesize alloy shipbuilding.

   At that time, he couldn't expose the universe in his hand. If there was a steady stream of rare materials for sale, it would be very eye-catching.

Moreover, to use rare metals to make money, you still have to buy a large amount of alloy materials to build ships. Compared with buying alloys from the market, it is much more expensive than synthesizing them yourself. Risk, in fact, did not earn.

  The Legion has accumulated as much as 1.6 trillion cubic meters of raw ore. Excluding iron ore and high-value ores that are not worth converting, the raw ore that can be used for refining is as high as 1.4 trillion cubic meters.

   It took a whole day to start several super furnaces at full power, and it took only half a day to complete the refining.

  A total of 28 million square meters of rare crystals were extracted, with a unit price of 800,000 square meters and a total value of 2.24 billion star yuan.

  If it is only 1.4 trillion cubic meters of cheap raw ore, the unit price is 4 star yuan, and the total price is only 5.6 trillion yuan, a four-fold gap.

   "This debt seems to be easy to pay off!"

  Seeing this, Li Qing suddenly felt that he could do it again.

Without transforming more valuable isotopic aggregates, the use of that thing is too sensitive, and it is most useful to the Lord of the Star Sea. If it appears on a large scale, it will easily attract the attention of the Lord of the Star Sea. He thought about it and decided to sell rare crystals. The profit is tripled He is completely satisfied.

The next day, all the 28 million cubic meters of rare crystals were loaded into a super-large industrial ship with a capacity of 40 million cubic meters, and a transport fleet was equipped and handed over to Li Qi, who then watched him lead the fleet to jump away directly. .

   "I have to make money too."

Half a day later, a Black Hawk frigate went to the berth of one of the civilian fleets in Star City, and opened a huge black hole door. There were more than 20,000 Shattype industrial ships and transport ships that had been prepared long ago, as well as all industrial ships of some legions. Gather there and line up to enter the universe in the palm of your hand.

   Waiting for all the ships to be included in it, only one frigate left fluctuating in circles around it, and entered the transition state.

   Two minutes later, the ripples cleared, and the battleship disappeared.

   reappeared, and jumped directly into the isolated galaxy.

  The battleship appeared in the starry sky again, and the frigate's sensors scanned the mobile fortress that was still floating in the starry sky a thousand kilometers away.

   "It's so big!"

  Even if he has been promoted to be the master of the negative star at this time, even if there are a large number of super high-tech battleships in the heritage package of the negative star, this mobile fortress is still a big guy in it.

  And the things in those heritage bags are too expensive. It is estimated that you will not be able to buy one of them in fifty years, so you still have to use these at this stage.

  Li Qing estimated that if he wanted to collect so many civilization points, it would not be very reliable to rely on plunder alone, and he still had to rely on his own people to gather them together.

  If you can gather enough negative stars, these tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of civilization points are nothing.

   "Everything is difficult at the beginning!"

  He squeezed his chin, reopened the universe channel in his palm, and a large number of ships flew out.

  Li Qing sent out the pre-set instructions, and these industrial ship transport ships spontaneously formed teams one by one and sailed to the battleship cemetery, preparing to collect the wreckage.

   After all the ships were released, he drove the frigate, opened the door to the black hole, and began to sweep back and forth in the battleship cemetery.

  A pile of wreckage of a battleship like a mountain range floated in the void. Suddenly, the wreckage shook slightly, and then flew backwards.

  It was slow at first, then became faster, faster and faster, and finally flew backwards at an extremely fast speed into a huge black hole with a diameter of up to 100 kilometers and disappeared.
