Chapter 167 Recruits Growth Support Program(1/2)
"Uncle Kumar, what is the current production capacity of our mecha factory?"
In the office, Qin Lang quickly browsed the base's recent production reports while asking Kumar across the table.
"Severe surplus, leader. Our mecha factory has stopped production for a long time." Kumar sighed, "Alien humans have no money to buy mechas, and mechas are not very popular in the interstellar trading market. The last three
In the past month, only one set of mechas has been sold in Xiaoshuang’s Xinghuo Space Station.”
"Tsk. They've all been discontinued."
After Qin Lang read the production report, he silently opened his calculator.
"How much does it cost to produce a standard mecha now?"
"The pure machine is 1.15 million Galaxy Coins, plus basic weapons is 1.165 million Galaxy Coins." Kumar answered simply and neatly.
"Um……"
The price of a mecha on the market is 4.5 million Galaxy Coins. In other words, a 280% profit... isn't this tantamount to stealing?
Qin Lang's face turned dark. Fortunately, the Earth is not well connected with the interstellar world, and there is no space station stationed in the solar system. Otherwise, if the Earth had known about mechas in advance, how much money would he have made less?
He then sent Lao Wen a message to a cruiser sent by Fire to set off from the Emerald Star to the Milky Way. The cost of a round trip was about 720,000 Galaxy coins.
If all drone inventories are cancelled, and only ten spaceships are mounted, one cruiser can carry 80 mechas.
If you give the people on earth a realistic price, such as a 10% discount, 4.05 million Galaxy coins for a mecha, the money you will earn from this trip...
"Two hundred million..."
This round of trading seems to be a good deal!
Qin Lang raised his head and asked: "Our mecha factory is now in operation. How long will it take to manufacture 80 mechas?"
"Huh?" Kumar pondered for a moment and then gave the answer, "If all four assembly lines are started, it will take about 15 hours."
"But chief, what are we planning to do?"
Although Qin Lang expressed his idea, it was still an immature plan, but it was obvious that it would be profitable.
"If the earth has this demand, we can definitely make a lot of money. But using a cruiser to transport it is not very good." Kumar said with a frown.
"Because the carrying capacity is too low?"
"No, it's a matter of procedures." Kumar touched the thick beard on his chin, "Ours is considered a long-distance trade across large galaxies. If we want it to be smooth, we need to get Nidhogg and Viking
Permission to trade on both sides of the empire."
"Nidhogg's side, I think the leader can handle it, but from the Viking Empire, we may need to present a series of certificates to ensure the reliability and safety of the trade. We may even be restricted by the Viking Empire for a limited time."
As soon as Kumar explained it, Qin Lang understood.
In the 1.0.0 version, there is no function to open expeditions at all. Super large cargo ships that can carry large quantities of goods are all in the hands of various large civilizations. Not to mention players, even he, the leader, cannot touch them yet.
The way to the cargo ship.
"Then what should I do if I want to do this business?"
Kumar replied firmly: "Interstellar Express."
"Interstellar Express?" Qin Lang was stunned, "Are you sure?"
"At present, the only one that can accept such a huge transportation volume is Interstellar Express." Kumar nodded, "Although the price is much more expensive than our own, and it takes longer, it can save us a lot of trouble.
.”
For example, the simplest one is the trade license of the Viking Empire.
If you apply for this thing now, it will probably take more than ten days to get the approval. It is so slow that you will doubt your life.
"In fact, if other risks and procedures and other costs are included, it may be more cost-effective for us to use interstellar express to transport the mecha." Kumar pulled out his panel, and then called up a message from the information column
While looking through the list of the interstellar logistics company, he said, "Chief, you can first communicate with the Earth side about how many mecha orders they need. Now several interstellar logistics companies have carried out ultra-long-distance distribution across star fields.
, there is no problem in contacting production at any time.”
"good."
Qin Lang fell into deep thought after agreeing.
I'm afraid the Earth government has no idea what a mecha is. He saw players on the forum saying that now the "ship girls" and "ship boys" of Sakura Country have become sought after, and many countries have begun to introduce them.
technology.
I'm afraid if we don't continue like this, the painting style of the earth will be completely distorted. Then there will be some tank girls, gun girls or simply artillery girls, it will be really scary.
"No...if there is no actual effect as a reference, it may be difficult to arouse the interest of the people on earth."
"We have to find a way to make them understand!"
"A man's romance should be a mecha!"
He slapped the table and stood up.
…
This evening.
After a tiring day of running around, the players took the sky-rail train and returned to the player base in the Emerald Star Novice Village from supply stations in all directions.
For them, this place has become like their own home.
During the day, they went out to attack bosses, kill monsters and earn money for upgrades, and come back at night to try their luck, bet on stone blueprints, and open one or two of Edith's relic boxes. Various ways to make money from upgrades made them have a great time.
.
Other players who want to develop other gameplay methods will go to Honghe Port to try their luck. Occasionally they will meet one or two NPCs and issue special tasks with rich rewards. There are also players who love learning and their only purpose is to make money.
One is to soak in the engineering college and use the learning cabin to learn some very advanced knowledge.
After finishing the day's activities, everyone will return to the base and gather at a table in the spacious and bright restaurant. Regardless of whether they know each other, they can chat about everything. Talk about how much money they made today and what interesting things they discovered.
Gameplay and the like.
A long U-shaped table in the corner is the fixed site for the first-tier players.
In the past few days, the addition of Guyu Qingming has greatly increased their harvest.
This player is truly a man known as the Gunslinger. When defeating the boss, he is so calm and calm that can only be described as terrifying. He has high long-range damage, stable output, and can also provide support. They have maintained zero casualties and killed them one after another.
There are several small bosses around level 20.
"Myojin, how is your gun repair going?"
Now, ridiculing Guyu Qingming's poverty has become a famous meme. Whenever someone asks this question, Guyu Qingming will show a sad expression of poverty, slowly open his own panel, and count himself on it.
Four-digit balance.
"The gun hasn't been repaired yet."
"The money is gone again."
"Why……"
A person who usually doesn't smile often makes everyone laugh when he looks so miserable: the restaurant is filled with joy again.
"Okay, brother, stop pretending." Douzhi Kuanglan poked a small piece of steak away from his plate, "The giant anaconda I killed today, you are the only one among all the people who got it.
Anaconda's teeth, we are all worthless pieces of shit."
"Yes, this thing must be worth a lot of money, right? I think the rarity is level A." Desolate Kamui also asked.
"I didn't sell it," Guyu Qingming said. "It says on this prop that it can be used to make sniper rifle strengthening parts, so I'll keep it."
"Damn it, these artifact sniper enhancement parts are so luxurious!"
"When will I encounter a hidden mission and get such a magic gun?"
The players were discussing one after another, and Guyu Qingming could only smile bitterly.
These people are not fools. I have never seen anyone selling such powerful weapons in the entire Emerald Star base. The more advanced NPCs are always showing off and disappearing. Who can give Guyu Qingming a full-level gun? Such a thing.
It's easy to deduce.
Players have been paying attention to Qin Lang for a long time.
At first, this guy pretended to be a mysterious businessman. Later, when the players finished defeating the boss and handed in the mission, they suddenly discovered that this guy was the owner of the Emerald Star and the leader of the Fire Organization!
Thinking about how Qin Lang would appear among the players from time to time, many people regretted it: If I had known he was a big boss, why didn't I improve his favorability more?
"Speaking of which, has the boss come back?" Douzhi Kuanglan asked.
"Back. I saw it." A player raised his hand, "Just over there at the space port, the boss went to find Yan Xiaomiao first, but for some reason, he seemed to have brought back a new cat girl."
"New cat girl?!"
"Oh haha!"
Everyone's eyes lit up instantly.
"Our boss has something..." Douzhi Kuanglan grinned, "Do you think he is... a cat girl?"
"It's possible..."
A group of people laughed obscenely.
To be continued...
