Chapter 318: Long-term investment
"A mine that produces 100 percent associated mine?"
Faced with Chen Xing's question, Zhao Chang hesitated slightly, and then explained:
"Brother Xing, in fact, all levels of mines have a chance to produce associated ores, and primary-scale mines only have a 1 in 100,000 chance of producing associated ores. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info This is equivalent to digging 100,000 tons of ore before selecting an associated ore from it. ”
"Small-scale mines have a 1 in 10,000 chance of producing associated ore. This is equivalent to digging 10,000 tons of ore before a piece of associated ore can be selected. ”
"Medium-sized mines have a 1 in 1,000 chance of producing associated ore. This is equivalent to digging 1,000 tons of ore to select an associated ore from it. ”
"Large-scale mines have a 1 in 10 chance of producing associated ores. This is equivalent to digging 100 tons of ore to select an associated ore from it. ”
"There is also a special kind of mine, which may not be large in scale, or even relatively hidden, but it contains very rich mineral deposits, which can be encountered but not sought. This special mine is also known as the fertile mine, this fertile mine, digging ten tons of ore, can select a piece of associated ore! If you have a fertile mine, you have a real economic lifeline! ”
"In terms of the service life of the mine, the primary scale mine can only be excavated for about five years, and after five years, the primary scale mine will no longer be able to dig anything."
"A small-scale mine can be excavated for ten years, a medium-sized mine can be excavated for fifty years, and a large-scale mine can be excavated for a hundred years!"
"As for the fertile mine, it can be excavated for five hundred years!"
Hearing this, Chen Xing immediately asked, "How much can you buy this kind of fertile mine?" ”
Zhao Chang smiled bitterly, "Brother Xing, fertile mines are priceless, and many big families spend a lot of money to hire mercenaries to explore everywhere just to find fertile mines. Whoever finds it will immediately send heavy troops to protect it, and no one will be touched. ”
Chen Xing nodded slightly, "What you said makes sense. So, how much does a large-scale mine cost? ”
Zhao Chang stretched out a finger.
Phaeton couldn't help but ask, "One hundred million?" ”
Zhao Chang shook his head.
Wang Meng asked with a shocked face: "Ten billion? ”
Zhao Chang still shook his head.
Han Xuan opened his mouth and said, "Don't guess, it's 100 billion star coins." ”
Zhao Chang nodded, "He is worthy of being the eldest young master of the Han family, and he really knows how to do it." ”
Han Xuan smiled, "I've been cleared out of the Han family now." Brother Zhao Chang, you should continue to explain to Brother Xing. ”
Zhao Chang immediately said: "There are only four large-scale mines in the entire northern region of the Zhulu Empire, and there are not even the Northern Command. The nearest large-scale mine is currently under the ruling name of the Fifth Largest Domain to which the 57th Region belongs. ”
"So, like large mines, medium-sized mines, and even small mines, we don't have to think about it - our 100 million star coins are simply not enough."
Wang Meng asked unconvinced: "It's too exaggerated, right?" Can't even buy a small mine for 100 million stars? I've heard that a wealthy businessman wanted to buy a small mine in the Northern Command for 100 million star coins! ”
Hei Liu immediately echoed: "Yes, yes! I've heard about it too, it seems like it was two or three years ago! ”
Zhao Chang smiled and said, "The question is, has the Northern Command been sold?" ”
Wang Meng and Hei Liu blinked and stopped talking.
Zhao Chang continued: "100 million star coins is indeed not a small amount, but it still can't buy a small mine. The reserve price of a small mine in the market is about 150 million star coins, and at most 20 million star coins will float up and down. ”
"In other words, if you want to buy a small mine, you need at least 130 million star coins, and it depends on whether the other party is willing to accept our bargain."
Yu Xin said: "Brother Xing now has 118.15 million, and it's not much worse than 130 million, we work hard to make it up, we should still be able to make it up, right?" ”
Zhao Chang still shook his head, "Brother Yu Xin, what you think is too simple. Even if we could scrape together the money to buy a small mine, where would the money come from for the excavation equipment? Where do miners get paid? Where does the money come from? The most important point is, where does the money come from to take care of the mines? ”
"If there are no people who take care of the mine, then the ore we dig up will inevitably be snatched by the interstellar bandit mercenaries!"
"You are all border troops, you need to be stationed on your own border, and you can't go to the mine to protect the mine in person, so the money for protecting the mine is resolutely not saved, and it can't be saved."
"So, buying a small mine doesn't seem expensive, but to get a small mine running, it will cost at least more than 200 million stars!"
Hearing this, the team members were silent.
The joy of learning that Chen Xing had 100 million star coins just now was also diluted a lot.
Yes, 100 million star coins can be squandered for almost a lifetime for ordinary people.
But for them who want to develop their own power and seek hegemony in the future, it is a drop in the bucket.
Although Chen Xing was also a little disappointed in his heart, he had already been fully prepared for this.
He smiled faintly, "It seems that our money is only enough to buy a primary mine." ”
Zhao Chang nodded, "Yes, Brother Xing." There are a lot of primary mines, so they are relatively cheap, and you can buy one for about 60 million star coins. If it were left to me to negotiate, I could lower the price to within 50 million Star Coins. Coupled with the funds needed to operate the primary mine, 100 million star coins is just right. ”
Chen Xing frowned slightly.
Primary mines, with a lifespan of only five years, have only a 1 in 100,000 chance of producing associated mines.
The associated minerals produced are not necessarily gemstones or elemental stones.
Compared to other higher-level mines, it is indeed too far behind.
If these 100 million star coins are spent, there will be no effect at all in a short period of time.
Seeing that Chen Xing was silent, Hei Liu smacked his lips, "I said, why are we bothering so much?" Isn't it just that mines can produce some associated minerals? These associated mines may not be what Brother Xing needs. In my opinion, it is better to use the money to buy associated ores directly, buy gems if you need gemstones, and buy elemental stones if you need elemental stones, how good is this? ”
When the other team members heard this, they all nodded.
"That's it, just buy now."
Zhao Chang said with a smile: "This method seems to be less labor-saving than buying a mine, but it is very cost-effective in the long run." Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that in the future, if we fight with other forces, our ammunition supply and energy supply will be cut off, and no one will sell us arms if we have money, what will we do? ”
The team members were all stunned.
Zhao Chang continued: "If you have your own mine, and then develop your own arms factory, you will not be controlled by others in the future." (To be continued.) )
