The Fire Thief Chapter 4: "Money Grabbing"
The others soon logged off as well.
Luo Feng was a little distressed. He just asked Babata to look for the metal combination needed by the golden-horned beast in the virtual universe. He estimated that if the growth was accelerated by 89 times, more than 60 billion Black Dragon Coins would be needed in one year at this stage!
Even if it is increased five times, it will cost more than 100 million per year.
But I have no money.
Thor took a sip of juice and smacked his lips. "I've learned a lot today. There's actually something as wonderful as a virtual universe."
"But no matter how wonderful it is, it still costs money." Lin Yan said, "You guys go around Qiulong City, I'll find a solution."
…
They rested for a night in Qiulong City. Not all that they saw in the universe was prosperous, the dark side was always there.
They were deeply impressed by the ubiquitous slave trade and the taking of non-citizens.
the next day.
In the spacious living room.
" Excuse me, what is the matter that you made an appointment to meet me about?" asked a middle-aged man with three eyes and stripes on his face.
Lin Yan sat opposite his desk, with two Liuyin guards standing behind him.
"Mr. Moore, do you think this laser gun can be sold?"
He smiled, and suddenly a black laser gun appeared in his hand, about two meters long and about 20 centimeters in diameter.
“I hope to reach cooperation with your company in this regard.”
Moore's eyes showed surprise, it was obvious that the other party had a space ring, but this was not surprising. It was normal for someone who was protected by the Silver Guards to have a space ring.
He picked up the black laser gun that Lin Yan pushed over and looked at it carefully, saying, "The craftsmanship is exquisite and the design style is also outstanding. May I ask what level of laser gun is this?"
Lin Yan looked calm: "A9 level, I have my own life planet territory, and I can supply a large amount of goods to Tieluo Company."
"Level A9?" Moore was a little excited.
His attitude was more humble and polite than before: "Can I have someone test its specific power?"
Lin Yan stretched out his hand: "Please go ahead."
Moore pressed the red button on the desk, and someone came in immediately. Moore ordered, "Go check whether this laser gun has reached A9 level. Give me a detailed data report, but be quick and don't delay the customer's time."
"Yes, Mr. Moore."
The subordinate carefully picked up the black laser gun and hurried out.
Moore looked at Lin Yan and smiled, "Mr. Lin has an extraordinary demeanor. May I ask which family you are from?"
The Lin Yan in front of him not only reached the star level at a young age, but also had the protection of the Silver Guard, a space ring, his own life planet territory, and the technology to produce A9-level laser guns. It was obvious that he came from an extraordinary background.
"It's not convenient to say that. Mr. Moore also knows that the competition within the family is quite fierce for people like us, so when we reach a certain age, we will be sent out to take charge of things. Then the family will judge our performance and then we will be qualified to manage the corresponding resources."
Lin Yan was talking nonsense: "I have had contact with Tieluo Company in Didu Star before, and I had a good impression of it, so I wanted to reach a cooperation with your company."
Moore didn't think Lin Yan was lying. It was normal for families in the universe to have such rules, which was a form of beneficial competition.
A star-level figure like this who can come up with A9-level laser gun technology is obviously of extraordinary status. When he speculated before, he also thought that it was very likely to come from the Imperial Capital Star.
However, most of the famous families in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire have roots in the Imperial Capital Star. It is impossible to guess which one they are, but it doesn’t matter.
What matters is the business itself.
A9-level laser guns are in good demand and there is absolutely no shortage of sales. The price of laser guns is generally similar to that of slaves of the same level, and they are more popular. The difficulty of transportation is not a concept. Orders for any planet can be in the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, which is normal.
If the distance is farther, the shipping cost of hundreds of thousands of slaves would be outrageous, but hundreds of thousands of laser guns are much lighter in comparison.
Because the price of an A9-class laser gun is around 50,000 Black Dragon Coins, and the price of a B1-class laser gun is over 1 million, even those who buy B-class laser guns will also buy a large number of A9-class laser guns to arm their subordinates.
The A9 class can be said to be the area with the largest sales volume in the market.
The universe is too vast, the situation on each planet is very complicated, and as a large company in the Qianwu Universe, Tieluo Company faces an even more astonishing market.
Soon, the subordinate came back with a laser gun and a data report in his hand.
Moore took a look and found that the data performance in all aspects was the best in the A9 class, and he was very satisfied.
He formally started talking about business: "Mr. Lin, how much goods do you have?"
Lin Yan said: "For the first batch, I can take out 5 million, because I have not been in charge for a long time, but the subsequent production capacity can be increased."
"So Mr. Lin, do you have a way to get a Class B laser gun? Our company is also interested in this."
Moore was a little excited, this kind of business had the highest profit for them, and the first batch of 5 million was not a lot, but it was not a small amount either. If he did a good job in this business, his promotion would not be a problem.
Lin Yan smiled and said noncommittally: "That depends on whether our cooperation can always be pleasant."
"It's a pleasure, of course." Moore smiled heartily, and then said to Lin Yan: "Then let's discuss the details of the cooperation."
"The price we can offer is 30,000 Black Dragon coins per pair. Since this is our first transaction, we will pay for the first batch of goods on the spot after we inspect them. For follow-up, we will pay a 30% deposit in advance, but there will be a one-month repayment period."
This is the advantage of doing arms business, their profits are the highest, no other business can have such high profits.
Lin Yan was quite calm. This price was within his expectations and the other party was obviously sincere. This was also the benefit of cooperating with a large company.
In this kind of business, the initiative lies with the other party, and you have no bargaining power. As long as the price offered by the other party is reasonable, it's fine.
He said, "I can accept 30,000 Black Dragon Coins, but you will be responsible for the tax issues that arise. Tieluo Company has a deep foundation and can better handle this aspect."
"Because this is a long-term cooperation, I hope to have the VIP status of your Tieluo company and enjoy discounts on your company's full range of products."
Moore stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin is a big customer of our Black Dragon Mountain Empire branch, so there is no problem with this."
"Then we will have a pleasant cooperation."
Lin Yan also stood up: "Because this is a family business, all cash flows need to be supervised by the family, so the subsequent transaction amounts need to be recorded with me to re-open a bank account at the Universe Galaxy Bank. I will store the goods in warehouses on other planets, and I will arrange for someone to hand them over to your company when the time comes."
Moore said, "No problem, we are always available."
…
Lin Yan walked out of Tieluo Company and returned to the hotel where he was staying.
Hong and the other three were chatting around the table. When Lin Yan came in, he heard Luo Feng say that he was going to sell the Sky-Escape Shuttle.
Luo Feng thought about it carefully. His main fighting force now is the golden-horned beast, and his earthling clone has also reached the seventh level of planetary level, not far from the stellar level.
It's not impossible to sell the Sky Shuttle. As long as I can quickly improve my physical fitness to the seventh level of the planetary level, my mental power will be able to break through the stellar level. Then I can retrieve the stellar level account left by Hu Yanbo, and the problem will naturally be solved.
He has nowhere to fight now, and telekinetic weapons are not that important.
Lin Yan walked in and said with a smile: "If you really want to sell something, you might as well sell my Arc Blade Disc and Black Dragon Spaceship, which can be sold for more than 10 billion."
"But that's not necessary now. I've already solved the money issue."
The three of them were all surprised: "Solved?"
How to solve it?
Luo Feng asked blankly: "Besides selling those things, do we have any other options?"
"Of course." Lin Yan smiled and said, "Why do you think we are poor?"
They were even more confused because we were just very poor.
"Let me settle accounts with you."
Lin Yan also sat down.
"An ordinary life planet can generate 600 million Black Dragon Coins of income for the lord in a year. Although the Earth is an ownerless life planet, we are the ones who can call on this resource. We are the real lords of the Earth."
Thor said at this time: "But our Earth doesn't have any special products."
Lin Yan replied: "On Mars, I found a deposit of more than 9 billion tons of black iron. Black iron is an A8 grade metal, very cheap. The price of one ton of black iron is '0.0032 Black Dragon Coins', but this is our capital."
They immediately calculated that these 9 billion tons of black iron were worth more than 20 million Black Dragon Coins.
It’s not a small amount either, but it’s not as valuable as the 7 Universe Coins in Lin Yan’s hand. It would cost more than 30 million to exchange 7 Universe Coins for Black Dragon Coins.
Only then did Luo Feng know where the black iron essence he ate came from.
"In addition, we have two intelligent beings that even immortals may not have. One of them has followed an immortal for 60 million years and has a wide range of knowledge."
Babata sounded a little proud when he heard this, he was praising me!
"We have population, raw materials, and technology. Those ordinary planets can earn 600 million, so we can naturally earn more."
Hong and the others felt that what he said made a lot of sense and their eyes sparkled.
Lin Yan is so confident, it is estimated that 6 billion is possible.
Lei Shenlian asked: "So, Lin Yan, how do you do it? How much money can you make?"
"One hundred and fifty billion."
Lin Yan's calm voice sounded like thunder, deafening.
The three of them were all shocked, and Luo Feng even stuttered: "How much...how much?"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "This new world we see is extremely prosperous, but also primitive and wild."
"One ton of A8-grade black iron costs 0.0032 Black Dragon coins. Pure metal is so cheap. After being made into alloys, the material is harder, but even less valuable. However, it is enough to meet the needs of A9-grade laser guns."
"A piece of Grade A energy crystal of corresponding specifications costs 5 Black Dragon Coins, but when the two are added together, the finished product is worth 50,000 Black Dragon Coins. It's jaw-dropping. Even if we are only responsible for production, the income of 30,000 Black Dragon Coins is almost pure profit."
"After I acquired the knowledge of Babata, I immediately set about arranging this matter. The production has reached 5 million so far, and I brought them all. I spent 5 universe coins to buy enough energy crystals to obtain such benefits."
Luo Feng was stunned: "Babata also has this technology?"
Lin Yan laughed and said, "Actually, we can do it if we increase the investment in B-level, but we are too weak, so I dare not do it now."
"At most, we can produce it, but it's too dangerous to trade it now."
A-level is just a small fight, B-level carries too much risk, and now he is the only one at star level, which is inappropriate.
In fact, he had other ways, but those were more risky and would definitely cause trouble.
That is to use his own life force to cultivate the Moyun vine seedlings. His current genetic level is 20 times, and it is also stellar level. His original special ability has already undergone a huge transformation, so doing this is not a problem.
The seeds of Moyun vine are not expensive, but if they can be grown and cultivated into seedlings, each seedling will cost hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coins.
Babata screamed frantically in Luo Feng's mind: "What do you mean I still have this skill?"
"I am the devil Babata! How dare you look down on me?"
Luo Feng then remembered one thing. During the Devouring Beast incident, he had asked Babata if he had the ability to create a star-killing weapon. At that time, Babata's answer was that the manufacturing process was extremely complicated and would take at least several years.
He immediately asked in his mind, "Didn't you say that it's very complicated to make and would take several years?"
Babata said: "That's Class B. Class A is not complicated. And even if it's Class B, as long as the precision of the process can be guaranteed, industrialized manufacturing will only save more time. Many processes can be completed at the same time."
Babata can even build spaceships from discarded alloy debris, which is just a piece of cake for it.
"But it's really amazing. Why didn't I think of it?" Babata really had never thought of using the earth's population and its own technology to create wealth.
Thor exclaimed: "5 yuan to make 30,000 yuan, isn't this robbing money?"
It’s unimaginable that 1 dollar can leverage a 6,000 dollar business!
Grab money legally and reasonably!
"If things continue to develop in this way, can't we use this approach to make the snowball roll?"
The current production scale is not large. They can even earn enough money to create a planet of life in a few years. If they replicate this model, won’t the snowball get bigger and bigger?
Lin Yan shook his head: "This is a heavy asset, and the development speed is not fast. To be honest, the money earned is just a small amount. It is not easy to snowball. The survival mode of many planets is very primitive, and it takes a lot of time to train personnel."
"Besides, slaves can't create any value, but humans can."
This kind of thing is not something that everyone can do. It requires very high quality of personnel. The Earth has so many years of industrialization experience and there are many creative people, so Lin Yan wanted to do this.
"And I have an idea that, without taking any risks, can make more money in twenty years than even immortality can make."
"If this is accomplished, our gains will be far beyond our imagination."
Lin Yan pursed his lips and said, "Now this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of us. It depends on whether we can seize it."
