At the spaceship headquarters building of Galaxy Technology Group, Qin Yi led Lin Ye and other senior officials to hold a warm welcome ceremony to welcome the visiting team headed by Taro Ishida, accompanied by important bosses sent by the superiors.
"Welcome to Galaxy Technology Group~"
Qin Yi looked at Taro Ishida in front of him. To be honest, Qin Yi really didn't want to entertain these Japanese people, but he had no choice. The other party was using official channels. It was considered a diplomatic mission. The superiors also specifically told them to entertain them well.
Japan is now China's largest foreign trade partner, and it is also China's largest destination for foreign tourism and consumption.
Due to the popularization and promotion of private anti-gravity aircraft, international exchanges have become increasingly convenient, and international travel has now become a common thing. Chinese people waving red and bright banknotes are everywhere in the world.
"Sorry, Mr. Qin, I'm causing trouble for you."
Taro Ishida was very polite. After hearing Qin Yi's words, he bowed deeply to Qin Yi.
"Mr. Ishida, there is no need to be so polite. Please come inside."
I have never had contact with Japanese people more than once or twice, and I have to say that in terms of politeness, their expressiveness is beyond words.
"Please~"
Qin Yi took Taro Ishida and his party to the largest and most formal conference room in the spaceship headquarters building. Both parties were seated separately.
"Mr. Qin, Galaxy Technology Group is now the world's leading technology company. Every move of your company has a huge impact on the world. I have admired this for a long time. I am lucky to be here today."
Taro Ishida flattered you as soon as he came up, which made Qin Yi couldn't help but feel wary. There is absolutely no good thing for this Japanese to flatter you.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Ishida. Mr. Ishida's arrival has brought great glory to our company. I apologize for any inconvenience in hospitality."
Qin Yi smiled and said politely.
"Mr. Qin, I wonder if it would be convenient for us to visit your company's factory and R&D facility. We have infinite admiration for a company that is inspiring to change the world, and we especially hope to have the opportunity to learn from your company."
Taro Ishida made a request to visit the Galaxy Technology Group's factories and scientific research institutes, and it seemed that he really admired Galaxy Technology Group.
"Mr. Ishida, I'm very sorry. Our company has always been closed to outsiders. I'm afraid we won't be able to meet your request."
Qin Yi refused without even thinking about it. Just kidding, the Japanese are so ambitious. How dare he let them come in for a visit? A few decades ago, when the reform and opening up was just beginning, many companies had no awareness of this and allowed Japan to visit.
They used their own methods to steal many of our processes, the most famous of which is the manufacturing process of rice paper.
"That's such a shame."
Taro Ishida showed a look of regret, then thought for a while and brought the topic to the topic.
"Mr. Qin, let me get straight to the point. I came here this time in the hope of purchasing several large spaceships similar to the Qinglong spacecraft from your company."
"How many boats are you sure you want to buy?"
When Qin Yi heard this, he smiled and said.
"Is it because your company's output is limited, or is there any restriction in your country?"
As soon as Ishida heard Qin Yi's words, he immediately asked nervously that his mission for this trip was to buy a spaceship to pave the way for his country's next interstellar space development plan.
"No, no, of course not, but I think you may not have enough money to buy it."
Qin Yi shook his head repeatedly, then smiled and said.
"Um, I wonder how much this spaceship costs?"
When Taro Ishida heard this, he was immediately speechless. Nothing from Galaxy Technology Group was cheap. They were mentally prepared for this, but Japan is a big economic country with very strong economic strength. He was still confident that he could buy a few ships.
.
"The fixed price is 5 trillion Chinese dollars per vessel, no counter-offers are allowed!"
Qin Yi smiled and reported a number.
"Five trillion Chinese dollars per ship~"
When he heard Qin Yi's quotation, although Taro Ishida was very well-educated, he still almost jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
You must know that the Japanese have tried their best to absorb Chinese dollars to increase their foreign exchange reserves. In recent years, thanks to their close proximity to China and Japan's service industry is very developed, the Chinese dollar foreign exchange reserves in the hands of the Japanese are quite good.
It is abundant and holds huge foreign exchange reserves of 2 trillion Chinese dollars.
I thought that with these 2 trillion Chinese dollars, I could at least buy four or five spaceships to fly to. Now I heard Qin Yi’s quotation, and it’s 3 trillion Chinese dollars short of even selling one. It’s conceivable.
His mood at this time changed.
"Mr. Qin, this is too expensive. No matter how expensive a spaceship is, it cannot be so expensive."
Taro Ishida quickly regained his composure, and then couldn't help but shake his head and said.
"Mr. Ishida, I'm not just sitting around asking for prices. The bigger the anti-gravity engine is, the more rare metals it requires. To build a spaceship of the same level as the Blue Dragon spacecraft, the rare metals alone will be needed.
It consumes 100,000 tons, and the total weight of this spacecraft exceeds 1 million tons, and every component involved is custom-made."
"In terms of the cost of the spaceship alone, Mr. Ishida is dissatisfied. Its cost is more than 2 trillion Chinese dollars. Taking into account my early investment and R&D, and later R&D and upgrades, I can sell one for 5 trillion Chinese dollars."
You can’t make any money.”
Qin Yi also had no choice but to settle the accounts for Ishida. Of course, Qin Yi's quotation must be an upward quotation based on the original price.
Taro Ishida and others looked at Qin Yi with a look in their eyes as if they believe you. Although this spaceship is large, it is indeed estimated to be expensive to build, but how could it possibly cost 2 trillion Chinese dollars.
This is 2 trillion Chinese yen, not 2 trillion yen, let alone 2 trillion Zimbabwean dollars. This is the red ticket that is loved all over the world and has great purchasing power.
"Mr. Qin, we really can't make it cheaper. Our two countries are separated by a strip of water and have had very good relations since ancient times. I wonder if we can sell one to us at cost price."
Taro Ishida said shamelessly, and when he finished saying this, he felt his face turning red and hot.
"Our company is a private enterprise. Since a company must make profits to survive, if it is sold at cost price, our company will soon go bankrupt. I am sorry that I cannot agree to Mr. Ishida's request."
"Five trillion Chinese dollars, no matter which country or organization comes to buy it, we will keep it at this price, and we will not sell it for a penny less."
Qin Yi said with a slight wry smile, but he couldn't help but want to curse out in his heart. He was really as thick-skinned as he could tell that he had a very good relationship since ancient times. He was really shameless.
"That's such a shame."
Taro Ishida saw that Qin Yi was very determined. It seemed that he would never be able to buy a spaceship without 5 trillion Chinese dollars. He couldn't help it. The price was too expensive, even if it cost all the national treasury.
The foreign exchange reserves are also very different.
Soon, Taro Ishida took the people away. They were too far apart and couldn't reach an agreement no matter how much they talked about it. He even suspected that Qin Yi had deliberately set the price too high, so that no one would be able to afford the spaceship.
He believes that if even Japan cannot afford it, other countries around the world will definitely not be able to spend more Chinese dollars to buy this spacecraft.
"Save your money carefully. Once you have enough wool, I will come over and collect it."
In Qin Yi's office, Qin Yi stood by the window and watched Taro Ishida and others taking off from here in private anti-gravity aircraft. Qin Yi couldn't help but want to laugh.
The life of the Chinese people is really easy now, because the Chinese currency is an international currency, and in order to develop high technology, the world is crazy about absorbing the Chinese currency, and the purchasing power of the Chinese currency has skyrocketed.
The Japanese are the craziest in this regard. In order to attract tourists and consumers from China, they have tried all kinds of ways, but no matter how fast they save, Qin Yi will soon be able to earn more.
Get it back.
"Haha, I guess they are tightening their belts now."
When Lin Ye heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
The news spread quickly, and countries all over the world soon learned that the price of this spaceship was as high as 5 trillion Chinese dollars, and there was no room for negotiation at this price. Qin Yi would not sell it if it was less than one cent.
, this suddenly made red-eyed people all over the world unable to help but curse.
This Qin Yi is really too dark. Even if a spaceship is made of gold, it is not worth 5 trillion Chinese dollars. But Qin Yi dares to offer such a price. It is simply a waste of Chinese dollars.
When to look at the Zimbabwean currency.
"Five trillion Chinese dollars, this export opened by Qin Yi, five trillion Chinese dollars is enough to pile up a mountain. It seems that the Chinese higher-ups deliberately don't want us to get the spaceship."
"It is better to ask for others than to ask for ourselves. We must find a way to develop our own spaceship. Anyway, there are anti-gravity spacecrafts traveling to and from space. Inform the Academy of Sciences that we must develop our own large-scale spacecraft as soon as possible. Mining asteroids is
Regarding the long-term development of our interstellar space industry, we must not lag behind or be controlled by others."
The Japanese quickly held a highest-level meeting. At the meeting, everyone felt that they had to rely on themselves. Not to mention that they did not have such huge funds, even if they did, they would not be willing to be ripped off like this.
, you still have to rely on yourself.
Not only the Japanese, after learning the news, all countries around the world are desperately developing their own large spaceships and preparing to go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids on their own.
