A few months later, Tian Boyi finally compiled a detailed purchase list. This list included the food, water, compressed air needed by the Explorer every day, and the nuclear fusion fuel needed for the battleship's nuclear fusion power.
, and then to the various plant seeds on the planet Beirut.
From visible physical objects to invisible genetic maps, light domain power maps, star maps, history, etc., there are millions of things purchased in total.
"The list is finally out, and the next step is how to get the maximum benefit at the minimum cost."
Aboard the space battleship Explorer, Captain Liao Yuanzheng and Deputy Captain Pan Zhang discussed how to maximize their own interests. The things carried on the battleship were not actually too many, because it was not used for interstellar work in advance.
Those who trade are just temporary part-timers.
"We have been dealing with the Beirut Empire during this period, and judging from the information we have monitored and deciphered through electromagnetic waves."
"The Beirut Empire used to originate from the sea of stars. Later, it could no longer survive in the sea of stars. After a long period of wandering, it came to the current Beirut galaxy."
"In the area around Xinghai, everything is based on fists. Whoever is stronger is the boss and has the final say. The Beirut Empire and the neighboring Suleiman Empire will fight each other every few decades.
war, so the things we sell are attractive enough to them."
"We can price our products very high and price their products very low."
Liao Yuan set a basic tone based on what he saw and heard during this period. It was his first time to be an interstellar space businessman. He really had no experience. Fortunately, he could contact the base camp at any time and there was help from the base camp.
Only by dealing with a lot of things and coming up with various plans can you keep pretending.
Otherwise, Liao Yuan estimated that the Beirut Empire should have figured out his identity very early and knew that he was not a space merchant. He was very unfamiliar when it came to doing business.
"I'm just afraid that they won't want to do business with us. After all, they are not fools."
Pan Zhang thought for a while and said.
"Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we can discuss it with them again."
Liao Yuan thought for a while and said, without experience in interstellar trade, he could only explore slowly.
Soon, Pan Zhang once again sent a price list to the Beirut Empire. This price list not only included the prices of the goods he wanted to sell, but also the prices of the goods provided by the Beirut Empire.
"The gravity generating device requires 10 billion units~"
"Energy cannon requires 500 million units each~"
"The second-generation anti-gravity engine requires 10 billion units~"
This price list also quickly reached the hands of Emperor Beirut. Seeing that the price of the other party's products was often calculated in hundreds of millions, he did not feel any surprise.
Whether it is a gravity generating device, an energy cannon, or a second-generation anti-gravity engine, it is something that can only be found but cannot be found. Even if it is in the light domain, the price is extremely expensive. The key is that there is no place to sell it.
It was normal for such good things to be expensive, and this was what he expected.
So soon, he turned his attention to another price list, which was the purchase price of various things in the Beirut Empire.
If the Beirut Empire wants to buy things from the Explorer, they must first sell the goods to Liao Yuan in exchange for enough credit before purchasing what they need.
"Warrior-class space battleship, worth 0 units~"
"Death light energy weapon, worth 0 units~"
"Hydrogen bomb, worth 0 units~"
"Gold, worth 0 units~"
"..."
"Sure enough, these things have no value to this powerful civilization. They all gave evaluations of no value. Also, this spaceship does business in the interstellar universe, and the warehouse of this spaceship is limited.
These things really have no value to them.”
When Beirut saw a series of goods of no value, he couldn't help but nodded slightly. As expected, industrial and technological products had no value to the other party, and they probably wouldn't take them even if they were given away for free.
"One ton of clean drinking water is worth 1 unit, and only 100,000 tons are purchased."
"A standard compressed air costs 1 unit, and only 10,000 units are purchased."
"One ton of top-quality Beirut star long-grain rice is worth 5 units, and only 10,000 tons are purchased."
"One ton of various vegetables and fruits is worth 1 unit, and only 3,000 tons will be purchased~"
Seeing this, Beirut couldn't help but curl his lips. These things are the most basic things needed to maintain a spaceship in interstellar space navigation, but the value given is really too low. Basically, it is all value.
1 unit, the key is that the other party also limits the maximum quantity. For example, for drinking water, they only need 100,000 tons at most, and they don’t want more.
"As expected, the merchants in the interstellar universe all have the same face. The prices of their own products are often calculated in hundreds of millions, while the prices of other people's products are calculated in single digits. You can make a huge profit."
Beirut sighed helplessly. The space merchants the Beirut Empire had come into contact with were all of this type. There was not much difference, and he had no intention of bargaining.
The other party is powerful, most likely a businessman from a powerful level 3 cosmic civilization, and can provide what you need. Such an opportunity is rare. Don't make the other party disgusted by bargaining and stop trading with your Beirut Empire.
"Nuclear fusion fuel helium 3, one standard unit is worth 10,000 units, no limit on quantity~"
"Deep sea gems, one ton is worth 100,000 units, no limit to quantity~"
"One million biological gene breakthroughs, worth 10 million units~"
"Purity 99.999% cesium metal, worth 1 million units per ton~"
"Purity 99.999% lanthanum metal, worth 100,000 units per ton~"
When he saw this, Beirut finally breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, some things in his Beirut empire were valuable, and the key was that the quantity was not limited. This was the most satisfying thing for him.
There is no limit to the quantity, which means that the Beirut Empire can move out all its inventory and obtain as much quota as possible. Otherwise, this would easily be calculated in hundreds of millions. I really don’t know when it will be possible.
Affordable.
"I didn't expect that soil roots are valuable, and the soil roots have to be processed according to their requirements. One ton of soil roots can be worth 100,000 units."
"Yes, yes, the soil root is of no use at all, but it can still be sold. The original strategy was indeed correct."
Seeing that soil roots are also valuable, and the value is quite high, Beirut also laughed.
The Beirut Empire sent a large list of items, but 90% of the items were of no value and would not be purchased by the other party. Unexpectedly, the soil root was a very common thing on the planet Beirut.
Weeds are actually very valuable.
"Just follow their prices and prepare all high-value items."
After a brief glance, Beirut did not hesitate and immediately gave the order.
As his order was issued, the entire Beirut Empire became extremely busy and began to continuously transport large amounts of goods to the space battleship "Explorer".
At the same time, the third prince of the Beirut Empire, Becker, also conveyed the news to the Explorer. The Beirut Empire fully accepted their price and had no objections to it. At the same time, it was preparing all the materials needed by Liao Yuan.
kind of goods, and formally reported to Liao Yuan what he wanted to buy.
"Haha, huge profits~ It's simply huge profits~"
On board the space battleship Explorer, Liao Yuan couldn't help but laugh after receiving the reply from the Beirut Empire.
Unexpectedly, the Beirut Empire didn't even have the intention to bargain, and simply followed the price given by themselves. Many things were priceless on Xinghan's side.
For example, although the reserves of rare precious metals are quite high, they are very difficult to purify and require a long time and complicated processes. This has resulted in the prices of rare metals remaining extremely high.
Now, I just gave a random definition of value, and the other party actually agreed without bargaining with me.
"We made a lot of money this time. I guess the price we offered may still be too high, or the price of our own products may be too low."
Pan Zhang also nodded, with a smile on his face, and went out to explore and do some small business. Now it seemed that he was about to make a fortune.
"Both are possible, but we lack experience. This time we must go to the sea of stars to take a look, hide in some civilizations, walk around, and get in touch with them more. We will have experience in the future."
"Now it seems that with the strength of our Xinghan, we should be among the top powerful civilizations in the star sea. Our technological products, weapons, etc. are definitely what those low-level civilizations urgently need."
"The competition in this star sea is cruel. As long as it is arms and weapons, anything that can increase one's own strength, the price is absolutely sky-high."
"Well, we are still a little too soft, but this time we brought out too few things, and we cannot continue to do long-term business. Later, we can do triangular trade and sell the things of this civilization to another civilization.
Keep pretending to be a space merchant."
"Anyway, there is water, food, air, and energy now. There is no need to rush back to the solar system. Let's take a walk around the star sea and learn more about it."
