Chapter 48 Xiaoxiao is Professional
Xiaoxiao was sitting alone in the orbital elevator, her little hand subconsciously covering the pocket on the right side of her leg. There was a card with 5,000 computing power coins in it. She wanted to buy something for Liumahao, so she couldn't lose it.
.
A starship, a starship that can make even the Composite Evolutionary (Alex) happy, must be very good. Being able to get a place in such a starship is of course the best thing. And in
The best part is: it will have its own room that you can decorate yourself.
"If you plan the room well, you should be able to leave a place for raising meatballs." Xiaoxiao has always been very careful about budgeting: "You need a glass tank, a light machine, a baffle, an air purification filter, a nutrient solution and a cleaner... Six
Only cherry flavor, eight tomato flavor. Yes, there should be more tomato flavor, it will be easier to stew..."
---Arrived at platform 3B78 in the dock area, please leave in time ---
Hearing the announcement of the orbital elevator, the little fox quickly retracted his wandering thoughts, pressed his right hand on his pocket, and hurriedly left the carriage. Returning to the dock area from the container garbage dump of Delta 11, although the chaos has not been reduced at all, at least
It's not that dirty, and it's no longer surrounded and watched by composite evolved people, so it feels a lot more relaxed.
The dock area was full of people, but it was not bustling because of it. Xiaoxiao found that everyone's life seemed to have come to a standstill, leaving only sitting in pubs, food stores or leisure and entertainment places to pass the time. In the past, goods were transported and shouted loudly,
The people who were bargaining, greeting each other and fighting disappeared. Everyone was disgraced, or showed hysterical excitement on top of being disgraced. Xiaoxiao had already met someone on the street on the way to Boss Ka's renovation shipyard, which was not far away.
Three were drunk, five were crying, and one had shot himself in the head.
"What's wrong with people?"
With such doubts, Xiaoxiao quickened her pace and put more force on her little hands on her pockets. She didn't dare to stay in places with too many or too few people, so she quickly found an agency service person like her in the dock area to buy it.
He made a latest list of goods and services (internal channel version), and then left as quickly as possible. He wanted to visit more and inquire about prices at more shops and shipyards to understand the market situation, but most shops had already listed
There are signs saying "Closed", "Do Not Contact" and "Seek Yourself", and the door is closed.
Xiaoxiao felt a little scared. If the Snail Man was also closed, it wouldn't mean that it had nothing. Fortunately, when the helmet was covered with a layer of white mist due to rapid breathing, the renovation shipyard and the Snail Man finally appeared in front of them. They were still there.
In business.
"I'm looking for Boss Ka."
The giant snails all look the same. Their slimy faces and large and small eye spots are not very distinguishable. They can only be distinguished by their back shells with different shapes, patterns and decorations. The one carrying a toolbox behind his back
The Snail Star Man appeared again, saw the little fox from a distance, and said hello: "Oh, little one, what are you doing here? This is not a small hotel where you can sleep for free."
"I'm here to discuss a business deal. You will definitely be interested." Xiaoxiao said, "Mr. Alex wants to rent a dock for spacecraft repair and modification. The equipment and labor used will also come from you.
The premise is that the price is right and the service is satisfactory.”
"Now? Now is really not a good time to repair and build ships, but unlike other idiots, you are a bastard if you have money but don't make money!" Boss Ka squirmed his abdomen, dragging his heavy body and back shell and quickly approached Xiaoxiao. "Again.
Before discussing the price, let’s first talk about what type of boat it is, starting with its size and type.”
The Liuma is less than 100 meters long and can only be considered small in size. Boss Ka felt that this business would not be very profitable. However, the flight control equipment, engines and propellers, life support and all interior decorations were replaced.
When all these things were added up, the situation immediately changed. "So many important systems? Did Alex buy the empty shell of a starship and then rebuild one?"
"Well, you can say that." Xiaoxiao followed the argument agreed with Alex. "He found a starship with a unique style, which is a unique work of art. He likes that starship very much.
appearance, and at the same time believe that I have enough engineering knowledge to assemble it. Do you have any opinions on this?"
"Opinions? You have completely misunderstood. I have no objections. Being able to continue to operate when others are closing their doors does not rely on meaningless opinions, but on professionalism and persistence."
The little fox tried hard to raise his head to see the Snail Star Man's face. It was difficult to judge the expression on that white, slimy flat face, but the Snail Star Man had his own set of magical skills to judge the emotional state of other people. In "Professional and
After "Perseverance", Boss Ka hid a lot of helplessness and uncertainty about his future.
"Then why are others unprofessional and not persistent?" Xiaoxiao poked her fingers on her helmet, originally wanting to scratch her nose. "I saw many closed shops along the way. What happened?"
"What happened? Don't you know where you were during this time?"
"I followed Alex and ran around, avoiding the attack of the red-headed ghost, and then found the starship. I also know that other composite evolved people came over in a black starship, and then the black starship was
Fight back and the battle is over."
"That's all?" Boss Card shook his head: "Then you know that the sun outside the Evolution starship was detonated, and the entire star system was burning everywhere. The Yuma star closest to us was completely burned out. One hundred and twenty
One hundred million people were wiped out. Do you know all this?"
Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and widened her eyes, completely shocked. Seeing this expression, Boss Ka sighed and continued typing on the keyboard: "It seems you really don't know. There are rumors outside that compound evolution is
Humans will start to clean up the universe and destroy all potential races. They can capture and kill the inhabitants of the ship for a blackout. They can sacrifice more than 10 billion people and an entire star system for a battle.
Fail and overturn the universe!”
"I don't believe it." Xiaoxiao shook her head vigorously, and her whole helmet swayed. "You are obviously trying to scare me! If there is such a thing, you will not continue to operate!"
"Isn't this something like this that hasn't happened yet? I can open it every day." The card owner wrote on the display screen: "As long as I am still open, customers can find me when they come to the door. And if the compound evolved person really wants to
There is nothing I can do to destroy everything. It is just like death. I will die one day, and I have no power to stop it, so I can only live well before it comes."
The little fox looked at the words on the screen and blinked slightly. It was still young and had never thought about death and the meaning of life. It just felt that they were too far away. At the moment, the most important thing was to find a suitable number for their stray horse.
The shipyard and appropriate modification costs. "Boss Ka, if no one else wants to do it, will the things in the port be very cheap now?"
"Yes, in theory it should be very cheap. I can help you ask, but don't have high expectations." Boss Ka replied: "The environment in the outer universe is too harsh. It is like being on the surface of the sun at all times, except for compound evolution.
Apart from the human starships, only the Uzbek people’s Stellar Engineering series ships can sail. All the starships are trapped in the dock, but this does not mean that they have no value.”
The Snail Star man leaned down, lowered the screen, and showed the little fox: "Now on the market, the prices of good engines, shields, life support systems and special armor are soaring. Someone should be trying to stack the performance of the starship.
, so as to escape from this area. I think that by the time the best equipment is sold out, the ones with average performance will not be spared. You'd better remind Alex that the price of what he wants is going up very quickly, so it's best to do it early.
Decide."
"The best is not our pursuit." Xiaoxiao shook her head. Alex had a lot of money on hand, but if it was used on a starship, it wouldn't be a lot. He had to be careful with his budget. So their goal was not from the beginning.
The best equipment that can be found, but the most suitable. "Boss Card, can we start negotiating the price?"
"Yes, you can do it at any time. Just give me the list of items you need." The snail star seemed very confident. It typed: "Mr. Alex understands starships, but you, a raccoon star, don't, so he
I will definitely give you a list for you to buy according to the above items. Little guy, do you want to hear my suggestions?"
Xiaoxiao's ears twitched, then she nodded.
"Give me your list and budget, and I'll see if I can eat it. In theory, as long as you add it up carefully, there will be no problem in ordering it. You don't have to put in any effort, and I will thank you for bringing me this business. All
How about 2% of the payment? If the budget is relatively large and you have enough ability to convince Alex, then this amount can continue to be increased.”
"In other words, if I can make you more money..."
"Then you can make more money." Boss Ka said: "Think about it, the business of modifying a starship, especially an 'art-class' starship, has never been cheap. And with the current market conditions, the price will continue to increase.
Going higher, common sense is useless, so the pricing is not decided during negotiations? You have enough reasons to convince Alex to pay more, and you can even get a four-digit computing power coin. You do
Isn’t the goal of a negotiator just to make money?”
"This is troublesome, because I can't negotiate like this!" Xiaoxiao shook her head vigorously and said: "The only way I can agree is that I mention the names of the goods and you quote them, one by one. If it deviates from what Alex gave
If the price range is within the price range, then this item will not be purchased from you directly; if more than 1/3 is not purchased from here, then switch to another company. Ike said that anyone who wants to price-cheat him will be looked down upon.
His engineering expertise. He didn’t want to be too angry, so he came to you because he had worked with you before and thought you would be less likely to annoy him."
Boss Ka was silent for a long time, all his eyes focused on the little fox, trying to exert pressure through his eyes. Xiaoxiao twisted her nose, easily resolving the pressure. "I heard a saying that you Rixing people can only get back together.
Evolved humans are not afraid of anything. Is this true?"
"It's not very accurate." Xiaoxiao shook her head and said: "The nervous system of our raccoon people is a little different, and our sense of danger is different from other races, but it has nothing to do with fear. As for me, I am afraid because of doing
I lose trust because of bad things, so I won’t harm Ike’s interests.”
"You did a good job using Alex's professional ability to negotiate." The Snail Man waved his four arms, and then said: "Although other shipyards may not open their doors to receive you, the thought of the possibility of letting that
