"Well, it's big enough, but it's a bit poorer in appearance. If you want to mortgage it with me, I'll give you a quote of 8 million."
"Eight million is too little. Every space equipment on the market has a transaction price of less than 100 million. The internal mask of my space box is at least three times that of theirs. How can the price be so different?
many?"
"No, no, no, 100 million is the transaction price, and the cost price of a space necklace will not exceed 80 million. And I am a mortgage store here. Even if you use a space necklace worth hundreds of millions as a mortgage, the most I can do is
I can give you 20 million, and with all due respect to you, those who can afford space equipment are all interstellar lords who are not short of money. They wear space necklaces more to enhance their taste, and few of them have actual needs.
, and your equipment is too big, and some things are not convenient."
"It's not convenient to show off, isn't it?"
"It can be understood that after those interstellar lords buy space necklaces, they usually hold tasting meetings and invite other lords to visit. And your suitcases, backpacks, and handbags, although they are also space equipment, are not related to space.
Compared with necklaces, space earrings, and space bracelets, they are still a bit less interesting."
In an interstellar mortgage store similar to a pawn shop, Wang Xu was bargaining with a big mouse.
Because the space bag he brought from the Harry Potter world needs to depict the relationship between the alchemical circle, the internal space is generally linked to the size of the space bag.
The larger the space bag is, the more complete the alchemy circle is, and the larger the internal space is.
For example, a suitcase-style space bag has an interior space the size of a garage, while a space bag that looks similar to a women's handbag has an interior space as large as a bathtub.
There is no doubt that compared with the gorgeous space necklaces, space rings, and space pendants, his products do not have many advantages except that they are larger in space.
"Okay, it's yours."
Seeing that he could not get a higher price, Wang Xu pushed the space box out and took 8 million Rock coins from the Mouse Man.
There are two types of Rockcoins. One is virtual currency. For example, in the computer terminal on the left arm of the armor given to him by Scar, there is a financial terminal that can transfer funds to each other.
The other is paper currency, starting from 1 Rock Coin and going up to large denominations of 100,000.
The Locke coins given to him by the Rat Man are 100,000 banknotes, and a stack of money is worth 8 million, which can be used throughout the universe.
"Goodbye, my friend, remember to take care of me next time you have good business."
Under the courtesy of Mouse Man, Wang Xu got into the aircraft that was equivalent to a taxi and went straight to the store he had chosen in the morning.
The store he was interested in was located in District 88, which was ranked among the top 100 areas in the entire space city. The location of the store was also very good, just on the first floor of a super mall, not far from the exit.
"3.2 million a year, rent for at least three years at a time. The management fees and the like are mine. If it works, just sign." The owner of the shop is a middle-aged Rockman who looks like he is a scholar.
He is the kind of cultural person.
Wang Xu had already visited many shops and was particularly satisfied with this one. After hearing the news, he did not hesitate and said, "No problem, we can sign the contract now."
Paying the money with one hand, signing with the other hand, and soon under the consciousness wave of the central computer, a legally binding contract was born.
The middle-aged Rockman put away the contract and counted the rent. He had no intention of catching up with Wang Xu and said bluntly: "The store is left to you. If you have anything to do, call me. I won't come over normally."
"No problem, see you next time."
Watching the middle-aged Rockman go away, Wang Xu looked at the store with a slight smile on his lips.
The store is not big, about 80 square meters. It used to be a luxury jewelry store, and the decoration style looks pretty good.
Wang Xu stroked the shelves with glass covers. This was his first industry in the iron-blooded world, and it was also his foothold in this world.
If all goes well, this place will become his money printing machine, bringing him massive wealth.
"My name is Sylvia. I sell interstellar specialties next door to you. What's your name?"
A Rock Man girl wearing a red armor and long purple hair shawl stood at the door and looked at Wang Xu.
Wang Xu came back to his senses, looked at the girl, and said, "My name is Wang Xu. I'm glad to meet you."
"Wang Xu, it's really strange that his name has two characters!"
Sylvia walked in uninvited, looked at the empty shelves, and asked, "What do you sell?"
"Space equipment, if necessary, I can make it cheaper for you."
As Wang Xu spoke, he opened the glass cover on the shelf and placed the space bag on the shelf.
"Really? Don't lie to me. I don't have space equipment yet. I've always wanted to buy it but never made up my mind to buy it." Sylvia was a little moved. She can rent a shop and do business here, so of course she cannot be poor.
Wang Xu was also interested when he heard it. These people living in Rock City, even the most ordinary Rock people, are not simple.
They are just like the people in the capital on earth. They all appear to be invisible, but in fact they are all invisible multi-millionaires.
If we really compare, even the small lords with seven or eight resource planets may not be as rich as them.
Apart from anything else, the housing prices in Rock City are so expensive. For ordinary shops, as long as they are in the top 100 districts, the annual rent is millions, and the sales price is 30 to 50 million, which is the starting price.
Put it outside, one million Rock coins can almost buy a resource planet. It is said that the biggest dream of many interstellar lords who have struggled all their lives is to buy a house in Rock City, join the Locke Federation’s household registration, and become a Locke Federation.
Second-class citizens.
"Today is my first day of business, and you are also my first customer. If you buy, I will give you a 50% discount." Wang Xu was unambiguous about the business, and invited Sylvia to come in and watch.
Seeing that Wang Xu's space equipment was all suitcases, handbags, and backpacks, Sylvia frowned: "They are all like this, without bracelets, hairpins, necklaces, etc.?"
"Even though the appearance is not as good as those jewelry-shaped space equipment, the space inside is definitely not small. Look at this white handbag, it matches the paint on your body! You take the five million, and I will give you this bag
Half sale, half free. If you buy a space necklace with such a large space, you won’t be able to get it without 100 million.” The handbag Wang Xu handed to Sylvia looked like an LV, and it definitely looked high-end.
Sylvia was a little reluctant at first, but when she heard the price was only 5 million, she immediately couldn't put it down.
When Wang Xu saw the door, he quickly climbed up the pole and boasted: "This handbag has an interior space as big as a phone booth. You know what a phone booth is, it's that ancient communication tool.
Forget it, let’s not talk about the phone booth. Just this handbag. If you go shopping or play with your girlfriends, it will definitely not look tacky when you take it out.
And if you look at the size of the handbag, it is about the size of your palm. You can carry it on a daily basis. If you don’t want to carry it, you can put it in the compartment of the breastplate. When the time comes to go out to fight, put some engine oil, wrenches, screw nuts, energy blocks and the like in it.
It can also wear down the opponent."
Sylvia looked at Wang Xu, then turned sideways and scratched her lower abdomen. Immediately, the armor on her lower abdomen opened, revealing the maintenance compartment inside.
Wang Xu took a closer look and found that there were some small parts inside. If you put the parts in a handbag, you can put the handbag inside.
"Don't look." Seeing Wang Xu looking too, Sylvia rolled her eyes at him angrily.
These small private parts are just like a human girl's underwear. To Mega Man, this is their privacy.
As for the bulging armor on the chest and the S-shaped body curve, they are just external models used to distinguish men and women, but they are not important to Mega Man.
Seeing Sylvia's reaction, Wang Xu shrugged and turned around indifferently.
Aren't they just some parts? You can take a look at them without losing them. We are not from the same species. Is it necessary to keep it secret like this?
"Okay, you can go back." After a while, Sylvia called him.
Wang Xu looked back and saw that his handbag was gone. He couldn't help but glance at Sylvia's belly.
He didn't need to think about it to know that Sylvia had put the handbag into the maintenance warehouse. He thought about it carefully and realized that it would be quite good to be a robot.
"How do you feel?" Wang Xu looked away, wondering whether the deal could be completed.
Sylvia thought about it for a while and felt that the space bag basically met her needs for space equipment. The only dissatisfaction was that during battle, the maintenance compartment had to be opened first before the space bag could be opened. It was not as convenient as a space necklace.
But it's not all shortcomings, she is quite satisfied with the price.
The space equipment on the market is extremely expensive. Although she has a small amount of savings, she is still a little reluctant to spend so much money to buy space equipment, otherwise she would have bought it long ago.
The space bag does not have this concern. The price of five million is only one-twentieth of the space necklace. She can buy it with her pocket money. Overall, the price-performance ratio is very high.
"It's not bad. The price is quite right. It should be very popular among the middle and low-end people. As for the high-end people, unless you can also make it into the shape of jewelry, you can't compete with the space necklace. After all, there hasn't been a war between Rockmen for a long time. Society
The trend is towards luxury, and practicality is secondary." Sylvia spoke in an orderly manner, and Wang Xu nodded repeatedly.
Space equipment can only be most effective in war, and its importance is not high in peacetime.
At the moment, the Locke Federation is already the overlord of the universe. If something happens, just let the subordinates charge into battle, and rarely speak to the outside world in person.
In this kind of peace, changes in social atmosphere are inevitable.
After all, Mega Man is a machine life, a robot in itself. They can usually live for tens of thousands of years before the core chip fails.
After a long period of time, there are no competitors, and the style of not seeking the best but the most expensive is also very popular among Rock people.
