Chapter 96 Cosmic Business

"You asked me to do trade?" Countess Bartoli's eyes widened and looked at Li unexpectedly, "Why? Will you be short of money?

"Ah, yes," Li nodded with a wry smile and said, "I'm really poor."

"Are you poor?" Bartoli thought it was ridiculous, "How come? If you are poor, won't I go to beg?"

"If a person is rich, there is rarely ambiguity, but if a person is poor, it often contains various meanings," Li explained. "Although I say I'm poor, you think it's incredible, but this is indeed the biggest dilemma I am currently facing. For ordinary people, if he has three galaxies and a civilized world, then he will not be poor under any circumstances. He will support a person with the income of one world, not to mention that I have more than one world. No matter how much I spend money, it should be enough. But my situation is different from that of ordinary people. At present, although I earn a lot, I also need to spend a lot of money.

"Oh? For example?"

"Do you know that I went to the Foundry World to talk about a project some time ago?"

"Knowing this matter, it seems that we are going to carry out a big construction in outer space, but I'm not sure about the specific situation."

"It will be announced soon. I will build a space defense orbit system, which is composed of a spaceport, a space station, a space berth, a large cargo warehouse, a military satellite, a military port, a shipyard, military facilities and related factories, and a series of space military facilities. After completion, a central arched spherical. The huge cross-shaped space facility will become a huge and complex collective and will become the base of the Zhiyuan Star warship group, the space military cluster, the space trade center, etc. At the same time, it will also undertake the defense mission, which will be the shield of Zhiyuan Star and the satellite casting the world," Li gestured in the air, trying to show It looks like the fortress in his imagination, "I call it the cross guard of Zhiyuan. Once it is built, our defense will be greatly enhanced. This will be a huge city floating in the universe. I'm going to make it a separate area. After completion, as long as this huge fortress group does not fall, Zhiyuan Star's Security will never be threatened. Even if the enemy bypasses the layers of defense and sneaks into the distant star, he will still be a threat from the sky in front of him.

"It sounds awesome."

"But it also costs a lot of money."

"How much?"

"You don't want to hear it. Saying this at dinner really affects your appetite."

"Typ's it, it's okay."

Li sighed, put down the knife and fork, and reported an astronomical figure.

Countess Bartoli almost stared out her eyes, "How much? Did I hear you right? So much?"

"From a certain point of view, the war itself is about consumption, personnel, capital, and building a huge defense cluster in space, but I didn't expect it to cost so much that I can't afford it at all."

And this is just the construction of an internal defense system of the galaxy, which has already cost so much. What should we do in the future? For today's foundry world, the more low-end things are, the less money they make, and the more high-end they make, the darker the price they open. The price of an ordinary blade and a blade processed by a single molecular edge in the casting world is one day, and what's more shocking is that there is only one other super monopoly company that is a chain store. What if you want to fight across the galaxy in the future? What should I do if I want to get a super equipment? What should we do with the investment of the war regiment? Thinking of these, Li has a stomachache, which is even more a bottomless hole.

"It's not an unaffordable problem. There is no sincerity to do business at all with such an outrageous price."

"I can't say that. The Mechanical God Religion is very sincere to sign this contract with me, but once this contract is signed, I'm afraid I will work for the Machine God Religion in the future. If I can live another ten thousand years, I may be able to pay off this debt. Although the price is ridiculously high, to be honest, their price is also reasonable. God really me," Li said frankly, "In this case, if you want to build such a fortress, you have to pay too much extra money. Fortunately, it's not too late to change it now. We can do it step by step."

"How to do it step by step?"

"First of all, we need to build a large trading mining company. Now if we want to build in space, we must first make parts on the ground and then transport them to space for assembly. This transportation process alone will consume a lot of financial resources, so I'm going to build most of the arsenals of spaceships. If you move to space, if you need anything, just build it in space. But in this way, the most important thing is the raw material problem. The first is, of course, a mining company. There are rich mineral resources in asteroids, and even many rare mineral deposits are hidden. I am going to open three mineral companies in the name of the Governor's Office. First, I will establish three space stations, with triangular branches around the ring asteroid belt. First of all, I will start collecting minerals, some minerals. It can be used by mineral companies themselves. After all, we also need to develop our own space smelting industry, and most of them can be sold to the foundry world.

"Ah? How dare you want to make money from the casting world? This is an anecdote. If the man in front of him can get one tenth gear, the Dukeess will not be surprised, but if he can pull hair from the iron rooster? She can't believe it. From ancient times to the present, how many big businessmen have cooperated with the mechanical gods. In the end, these merchants and their chamber of commerce have all turned into residues, and only the casting world has stood for a long time.

"I never thought of making money from the Zhiyuan No. 3 casting world. It's just cooperation. I'm going to exchange ore for some of the equipment of the Zhiyuan Star Defense Garrison and several space smelters. In this way, the casting world will not be constrained by the mine. With sufficient raw materials, they will have the capacity to open up more production lines. Once the output increases, the income will also increase. They will have the power to impact the higher level of the casting world. Once the world level is upgraded, the casting world will also be from Mars. Get more technical assistance, in short, this is a good thing for both sides. Manufacturing director Gustav also likes this plan very much, so from the perspective of planning, it is almost not difficult.

In fact, Gustav can't use the word "like" to describe this plan. Lee feels that he can completely say that Gustav loves the plan.

Like all excellent religions, the Mechanical God Religion has a perfect promotion system. Five years ago, Gustav's discovery on the planet "Ayion" made Gustav get the attention from above. Such achievements are enough to make Gustav jump three levels in a row, just like all have a perfect system. Like the organization, whether you can upgrade depends not on your personal ability or your achievements, but on whether you meet the standards.

Gustave complained to Li many times about this matter, and he had no other acquaintances. Hearing this statement, Li suddenly felt that it was quite similar to the university's teaching system for a long time.

Just like if a lecturer wants to be promoted to a professor, he must publish papers in relevant academic journals, which is a similar rigid requirement. If Gustav wants to be promoted, he must also make substantial achievements, that is, to raise the casting world under his jurisdiction to a higher level. And this means that the output, quality, technology, income and other aspects of Zhiyuan No. 3 casting world will make a qualitative leap forward.

How is this possible?

Anyone who has common knowledge about production knows that whether the production capacity of a factory can be expanded depends on two factors. One is raw materials. If you want to make a sword, then you need iron ore. No matter how skilled a technician is, it is impossible to make things out of thin air. Another factor is the consumer group, that is, it is made. Whether things can be sold or not, if no one pays attention to the sword made, it can only be piled up in its own warehouse and moldy. Naturally, this factory can't stand it.

A casting world is a huge world factory. After all, the output of underground mines in the casting world is limited. If you want to dig from underground, you need to find veins, make holes, and need supporting mining facilities. Even if the excavation speed is accelerated, the total amount will not increase much. Lee's proposal solved Gustav's two problems at once. There are rich mineral deposits in space, and the asteroid belt is a mineral treasure house. As long as the mineral company Li expected begins to operate, the production of raw materials can get an explosive growth. Not to mention that Li is still in control of a huge consumer group. As long as Li has the intention, he can match a laser rifle for everyone in the civilized world of Zhiyuanxing. What's more, this is an ambitious governor. What a huge market it is.

So the two hit it off. Gustav seems to have seen a road from the Far East to Mars. In return for Li's kindness, Gustav personally gave 30 places so that Lee could send people on the Star to Mars for training. Gustav even hinted that if he had been promoted, Then the successor will emerge from these international students, and a large part of the decision will be in Li's hands.

Gustav can go to Mars, the holy land of mechanicalism, and Li can safely send Gustav away and replace him with his own person, which is a beautiful thing for both sides.

Of course, Li won't say these deep-seated things to the countess.

"The problem now is that we will partially cherish the mineral deposits. We can't smelt it ourselves. The processing of cherishing mineral deposits requires some high-end space smelting technology, which we don't have, so you have to find a way to get these things back for me."

"Me?"

"Yes, you, businessmen don't just buy and sell goods to make money. There are many things that can be bought and sold in the world, technology, information, intelligence. The Black Rose was originally just an expedition ship. I will ask people to add two warehouses to the Black Rose, which can increase the capacity of some goods, but even so, The cargo capacity of the Black Rose cannot be compared with that of a serious commercial ship.

"So I need to deal with some more high-end goods?"

"Yes. Do you have any ideas?"

"Luxury goods are expensive but take up not much space, and we can find out the high-level veins, economic strength and so on of other galaxies through luxury trade; cherish mineral deposits, we can't smelt, but we can sell them to other galaxies. At present, there are only these two that come to mind."

"It's enough. Just help me bring a few people and throw them out."

"Oh? Are they your eyes?

"It's not that dark. Like you, they also go out to help me make money. They are going to open up the galaxy legend of Coca-Cola."
