Chapter 122: Big Order
1 trillion!
This is just the cost and income of Li Yi to speculate on carbon element raw materials, and the profits from the sale of adult cakes and peanuts are not counted!
In just ten days, Li Yi relied on this method of buying and selling to make a pure profit of 500 billion star coins!
This kind of speculative ability is actually one of the additional skills that Li Yi brought from the old time and space.
In the old time and space, Li Yi, who likes to study and analyze, usually speculated in stocks or futures when he had nothing to do, although he didn't make much money for many years, he didn't lose any money - this is already very awesome!
You must know that it is almost impossible for ordinary retail investors to make money in the Chinese stock market in the old time and space, and those who have not lost money are already considered masters of stock speculation!
After many years of experience in the Chinese stock market, suffering from all kinds of insider and cheating, he actually did not lose money, it is conceivable that such a stock speculation master ran to North Wharton, a market with no stock market and no commodity futures, and casually took out one of the countless routines learned from the bookmakers in the old time and space, and absolutely could make the businessmen of North Wharton want to jump off the building!
This is how the Brown family was pitted, not only this family, but also many large and small families and businessmen in the entire North Wharton are also involved, and what really makes money in this soaring market of carbon raw materials is in line with the law of 37 like the stock market, that is, less than 10% of people make some money, 20% of speculators protect their capital, and 70% of people lose money.
Li Yi did not make the most money in this wave of market, but the yield is the highest, and the investment of 500 billion yuan immediately doubled, and the yield was 100%, after all, the entire market was almost directed by him, and he perfectly stepped on the rhythm!
Li Yi not only sold all the 500 billion carbon raw materials used for speculation, but also threw out all the carbon element ores that were collected and decomposed by all the people below during this time!
These carbon raw materials were originally intended by Li Yi to be used to build mining platforms in the future, but this opportunity was good, so they simply sold out, anyway, this is the essence of futures, Li Yi has expectations for the decline in the price of this raw material, so he naturally sells it first, and then goes back and takes it back, and he can make a lot of money this time and again!
However, the income of this business is not included in Li Yi's personal account, after all, it also involves the equity of the Watson family, and the adult cake project also has 50% of the equity of Orthea, and 500 billion of the 1 trillion is temporarily borrowed from the compressed biscuit project, so what really belongs to Li Yi's own private money is only more than 500 billion.
500 billion seems to be a lot, in fact, if you change the city star diamond or star crystal unit, it will only be 500,000 star diamonds or 500 star crystals, but with Li Yi's current asset scale, it must be counted in star diamonds in the future!
Generally speaking, if a person's assets begin to be measured in the unit of star diamonds, then it means that the person has entered the ranks of the small tyrant class, and if the assets are measured in the unit of star crystals, then it is a real rich tyrant!
At present, Li Yi can be called a small local tyrant, if he is at ease to be a rich man for a lifetime, it will definitely be no problem, he can definitely eat and drink well all day long, and the beauties around him are like clouds and live a poor and luxurious life, but if you want to achieve those seemingly impossible lofty goals, you must at least meet the standards of a big tyrant.
So Li Yi did not stick to the money, but immediately began to invest a large amount of money.
Now, even if you don't count his 500 billion private money, just the income earned from the compressed biscuit project developed with Orthea is enough to directly start the first phase of the construction of the stone grinding mining platform, but it is obvious that Li Yi is still waiting for the price of carbon raw materials to come down, and he will naturally not start this project now.
And now that job advertisements have been posted, it's no joke, half of the 1,000 medium-sized graphite mining ships delivered are piloted by the 500 mechs who have been turned into space soldiers, and the other half are really going to be released for the use of journeymen.
So the real investment is in terms of military force, otherwise, so many miners and priceless mining ships are developing gas mines on the resource planet, and if there is no military force to protect it, there will definitely be problems.
As for how to identify, recruit, sign agreements, lease mining ships, and manage those skilled mining tools, Li Yi didn't care, and directly handed over to Bernie, who had nothing to do with Gablell, to take full responsibility.
Bernie has really faded out of the bird during this time, the person who was about to be promoted to the commander of the legion is now only in charge of the space prison of a few hundred people, many former colleagues are laughing at him, of course, most of them are just joking with him, everyone knows that the Duke he follows has a great future, especially the recent series of actions in the adult cake market, which is even more enviable.
So although Bernie has been idle, he is not in a hurry at all, he is just a high-class viscount who wants to be reused by Li Yi, he must endure loneliness and quietly wait for the opportunity.
No, now the opportunity has come, even if it is just for him to manage some miners and mining ships, it is enough to show that Li Yi trusts and respects him, needless to say, Bernie is naturally desperate to do a good job of Li Yi's confession!
After Li Yi dumped this matter on Bernie, he came to Watson Space City again and placed another big order!
Two big orders, to be exact!
One is a large order for 36 Battlestars, with an order value of up to 540,000 Star Diamonds, or 540 billion Star Coins!
Another is more perverted - the first phase of the expansion and renovation of Watson 13 Planetary Space City, with a total order price of 2 million star diamonds!
In other words, the total price of these two orders is 2.5 trillion stars!
Li Yi couldn't take out so much money at once, he adopted the model of installment construction and installment payment, and also loaned out the full amount of the 300 billion loan provided by the Watson family!
In fact, if you take out the old capital, 2.5 trillion will still be taken out, but Li Yi feels that it is not necessary, this kind of high-risk investment is of course the most suitable for financing loans, if something goes wrong, it will be good to run Luffy immediately, anyway, it is not his own money that is lost.
In fact, this routine is also learned from those real estate development companies in the old time and space, get a piece of land and empty gloves white wolf to find a bank loan, build a house, can sell it is profitable, can not sell or various procedures have problems, just run away, anyway, the loss is the money of the bank and the state.
If this was in the old time and space, Li Yi's moral outlook would not have been able to do it, but here...... Basically no guilt, or the same sentence, the interests of the earthlings are above all else!
These two orders are said to be two, but in fact, they can also be regarded as one.
The 36 space fortresses are built around the space city and the planet's atmosphere, the purpose is obvious, it is used to replace the shortage of military starships, as a resource planet defense force, and this thing does not need to consume much carbon raw materials, which does not cause much fluctuation in the market price.
The so-called space fortress is basically a starship between the aircraft carrier and the space station, or a giant firepower unit, which is a fortress erected alone, specially used for the defense of some important targets, although it also has a mobile function, but the cruise speed is extremely slow, and it is generally only used as a fixed base.
If you combine Battlestar with a large space station or a space city, it is a giant firepower unit, and hundreds or thousands of such firepower units can be built into the firepower system of the entire space city.
Therefore, the 36 space fortresses are actually used for upgrading the space station on the periphery of the resource planet into a space city in the future, and it is one of the components, but the current scale of the space station is too small to fit this thing, so it is temporarily erected separately to form a group of space fortress arrays to protect the space city and those mining ships that are mining in this vicinity.
And the space station itself, according to Li Yi's plan and assumption, intends to gradually build a standard space city!
Of course, this is a very grand and costly project, Li Yi does not plan to do it in one step, but plans to take one step at a time, if the money is too much to spend, throw it into it, if the economy is tight, then stop for a while, anyway, it is best to build a space city, it doesn't matter if you can't do it.
But then again, although the current peanut production has been cloning and cultivating a large number of crops, it is still in short supply, and the production lines of peanuts are now here in the space station, and if you want to expand the production line, you must first expand the space station.
What's more, once the resource planet gas mine begins to be officially developed on a large scale, the current number of unloading channels and ports of call for the space station will not be able to meet the requirements, not to mention that the current warehouse capacity is simply not enough.
So, unless Li Yi plans to run away immediately, the space station on Planet Watson 13 does need a large-scale upgrade, and this money must be spent.
But Li Yi has always been planned, step-by-step, and forward-looking, how to use this money to maximize benefits, how to use this order to achieve some ulterior purposes, naturally has to calculate.
When Li Yi placed the order, he expressed his willingness to increase the cost by an additional 10% on the basis of the total quotation of the order, and the requirement was - the speed must be fast!
The reason on the surface is completely in the past, the resource planet is about to be developed on a large scale, and if the construction of the space fortress and the space city is not stepped up, how will it be done in the future?
You can't just throw the collected carbon dioxide into space and unload it, right?
You can't just watch the AI come and make trouble without any garrison, right?
So, it has to be built fast!
If you want to complete this order quickly, the only way is to transport the complete set of automated production equipment to the airspace near Watson 13, organize the production of parts on site, and then assemble and build them on site!
So...... Anyway, the Watson family did not have any doubts about Li Yi's requirements, and there was no need for Li Yi to remind them, after getting the deposit, the whole family acted quickly, and the complete set of automated production equipment began to pack boxes and transport them to the Watson 13 planet through a large transport ship.
At the same time, Li Yi, who had just had a conversation with Alser Jawin in the space station, seemed to inadvertently ask the other party a question: "Under what circumstances will artificial intelligence come to hit us?" ”
Althea was mistaken and asked, "If nothing else, the AI will come to attack us soon." ”
