Chapter 111
111
Early the next morning, Chen Wenjie, the captain of the No. 33 merchant ship who delivered beef to Captain Kadem, had already returned to Zhongzhou Star with the information he had collected and Tang Long's news. At this moment, while waiting for the selected 100 transport ships to be refitted, he is participating in a caravan captain training course specially written for him by Yuna's beautiful superiors.
Liu Dong also pocketed his bank card early and rushed towards the Royal Law Office with a few subordinates. At this moment, he was holding his breath in his heart, because he saw that a few brothers who went to buy galaxy maps and commodity price lists last night were praised by the lord, and they also got the honor of being poured wine by the lord himself. So I secretly decided that I must get things done as soon as possible, and I have to let the lord praise him and show his face among the brothers.
And Wen Tao also took 10 of his men to the rotten land early and began to supervise the whole process. He didn't bring a lot of things, just a big bag full of various information magnetic cards, and he was ready to supervise the study of both. He knows his own foundation, although he has received a certain amount of training in intelligence collection, analysis and classification, but now he not only wants to collect intelligence, but also build this place into a base. Also, I heard the lord say that at least a week later, Zhongzhou Star will have 100 transport ships. He has to cooperate with this caravan to occupy the market of the starfish and stabilize the trade routes. Moreover, he has to place spy satellites, set up an intelligence network, and gather contacts on the other 14 planets of the Stygian Federation, how can he complete these tasks if he has little knowledge? Ah, and then I'm going to talk to the Royal Attorneys' Office, and I'm going to have Colonel Kadem dinner at noon. Well, think carefully about what gift you should give.
As for Fili? She had already come to the hotel to accompany Tang Feili for breakfast. Although her eyes were red from not sleeping all night, her expression was in good spirits. Fili remembers that when she had just been admitted to the Bar and was preparing for an interview with the Royal Solicitors, she had a situation where she worked all night without feeling sleepy. Fili patted the thick stack of information cards in the briefcase beside her, and couldn't help but show a happy expression. In any case, I am a real lawyer now, and I can foresee that there will be many, many people like this in the future.
"Good morning." Putting on the suit Tang Liwen bought, he greeted Tang Long who walked over to Tang Liwen and them with a smile.
"Brother, get up, try this pastry, it's delicious." Tang Liwen happily took a piece of pastry and put it on Tang Long's plate.
"Boss, you're early." Fili greeted Tang Long, and it seemed that Fili had already regarded Tang Long as her boss.
Tang Long saw the red eyes under Fei Li's glasses, and couldn't help but say with concern, "Did you stay up late?" Be careful in the future and don't damage your body. ”
Hearing Tang Long's concern, Fei Li's heart warmed, and her face turned red. Of course, in order to get rid of this feeling that made her heart beat faster, she hurriedly said: "Boss, I investigated the business situation of the Styx Federation and found that the rise in the price of meat in the Styx Federation was artificial, and several large trading companies deliberately reduced the number of shipments and suppressed foreign merchants at the same time. Either squeeze the foreign goods out of the country, or force the foreign goods to sell their goods to them at a low price. And the price of the material coordination department is too low, so I think it is best to sell the meat products directly to those trading companies. Because all butchers are controlled by those companies, they can't buy your goods. ”
"Material Coordination Department? What is the price given by this department? Talk about the market price and the purchase price of the meat companies. Tang Long frowned and said, he didn't expect the price of meat to rise artificially, at first he thought it was a shortage of meat products, but now he dares to sell it little by little after several large companies have hoarded a large number of materials.
Fei Li didn't think about it, so she said: "Take beef as an example, the market price is 100 grams and 16 yuan Wulai coins......" but before she said this, she was interrupted by Tang Long.
"16 yuan for 100 grams?! Eat blue gold? Tang Long shouted in surprise, but Tang Long immediately shut up as soon as he finished shouting, he didn't want people to know that this kind of price was sky-high.
Fili said a little proudly, "The income of the residents of our Pluto Starfish is high. After finishing speaking, there was a continuation of the report just now: "The purchase price of those companies is 8 yuan for 100 grams, and the purchase price of the material coordination department is 4 yuan." ”
"$4? No wonder the material coordination department can't purchase materials to reduce the price, what does their coordination department eat? Won't prices be raised and big companies grab supplies? Or sue these companies for the crime of disrupting the financial order, and if they are seized, won't there be nothing? Tang Long shook his head, even if it was 4 yuan lower than the market price, it was twice as high as the purchase price of the political axe, and those merchants who couldn't sell the goods would naturally sell the goods directly to the big companies instead of selling them to the political axe.
Fei Li sighed helplessly: "Alas, it's not that the political axe doesn't want to raise the price, but the Material Coordination Department doesn't have much money at all, and the 100 grams of 4 yuan are still protested by the people, and the council allocated it." At the beginning, the purchase price of the material coordination department was 2 yuan. It is not that the political axe did not sue these companies, but the court ruled that the political axe must not interfere with the freedom of trade, and the law cannot deal with them at all. ”
Tang Liwen, who had been focusing on eliminating the pastries until this moment, did not hear clearly what Fei Li and Tang Long were saying, and said to Fei Li: "Sister Fei Li, do you buy 100 grams of meat here?" On our side, it's calculated by the pound. Tang Long immediately shouted in his heart, forgetting that there was a Tang Liwen beside him who didn't understand anything, so he could only pray that she didn't know the price of meat.
"By the pound? 500 grams a catty, Miss Tang, how much is a catty of beef in your place? Fili asked with interest.
"Ordinary one pound is 1 yuan, a better one pound is 2 yuan, and the best one is 10 yuan, and it is not sold in the market! That's all for export, and ordinary people can't buy it at all. I heard that the highest grade beef can be sold for 20,000 yuan per catty. Tang Liwen said casually.
Tang Long, whose face was ugly because of the details of being known, immediately said to Tang Liwen: "How do you know? Have you ever bought groceries? "I was ready to hope that I would interrupt and that Fili would not hear clearly.
"Hmph, although Liwen hasn't bought vegetables, Liwen has helped Sister Yuna sort out the information." Tang Liwen was very unhappy about Tang Long's surprise, her brother's expression didn't make it clear that Liwen wouldn't go grocery shopping, hum, Liwen must learn how to buy groceries.
"You used Wulai coins?" Fei Li, who was already stunned by the cheap price of beef, asked Tang Liwen again in disbelief.
"Of course it's Wulai coins, otherwise what currency will you trade in?" Tang Liwen nodded and said.
Fili suddenly turned her head to look at Tang Long and asked, "Boss, what grade are your 99 meat products?" How many are there? ”
Tang Long, who knew that there was no way, shrugged helplessly and said: "It's all second-class goods, that is, the kind that Liwen said was 'better'." A total of 20 ships of 2 million tons of frozen fish, 10 ships of 1 million tons of frozen mutton, 20 ships of 2 million tons of frozen chickens and ducks, 20 ships of 2 million tons of frozen pork, and 29 ships of 2.9 million tons of frozen beef were transported. ”
Hearing Tang Long's data, Fei Li took out the calculator with a lightning-fast movement, and then began to calculate: "One ton is equal to 1 million grams, according to the lowest price of the political axe, one ton can be sold for 4 million, and a 100,000-ton ship can be sold for 400 billion." Muttering this, Fei Li suddenly raised her head and shouted to Tang Long, "Boss! Your 29 frozen beef boats alone can sell for nearly 12 trillion yuan! ”
Tang Long's jaw immediately snapped and fell, although he realized that he could make a lot of money after hearing that the market price of Stygian Sea Star beef was actually 16 yuan for 100 grams. But I didn't expect that the political axe department, which was sold at the lowest price of 4 yuan for 100 grams, could sell 12 trillion yuan for beef alone! Although Tang Long didn't care much about money, he still felt that his heart was beating faster.
Tang Long swallowed his saliva and asked a little hesitantly, "Didn't you make a mistake?" It can't be that much, right? ”
Fili, who was desperately tapping on the computer, said without raising her head when she heard this: "How can it be a mistake?" The boss can sell all the goods for more than 40 trillion this time, and if it is not sold to the political axe, but to those large companies, it will exceed 80 trillion. Well, after deducting the cost of the boss's purchase, ......" Saying this, Fili asked Tang Long, "Boss, what is your cost price?" ”
Tang Long blinked and said, "The transportation cost is 10 yuan a ton." ”
"Uh, what about the cost of meat?" Fili was stunned for a moment and asked again.
"It's like 10,000 yuan a ton, and most of it is produced on my farm, so it doesn't cost much." Tang Long thought for a moment and said.
"Ten thousand a ton? Oh, my God! In other words, how much money will you make for the sale this time? Fili asked, surprised.
"Well, that's how it should be." Tang Long nodded.
"Uh, I don't know who the boss is going to sell to? But I can tell the boss that those companies definitely don't have that much money to buy your goods, and they all have more than 100,000 tons of meat products combined. Fili said.
"Huh? Why is your company so small? Tang Long asked curiously.
Fili sighed: "It's still small, each of their companies has hundreds of billions of funds!" It's a pity that the goods you brought are enough for the entire people of the Stygian Sea Star to eat for a year, and according to the production of these materials, I'm afraid you need a planetary farm to produce them. ”
Tang Long nodded, Zhongzhou Star is indeed a planetary farm, and there is almost no heavy industry on the entire planet, all of which are animal husbandry and fish farming. It seems that Yuna will have to build the factories that she stole from the Red Lion, but Yuna must have been busy with this, right? Hehe, 100 billion assets are regarded as a large company, so isn't Chen Kang's company that can produce thousands of warships a super big company in the universe?
Thinking of this, Tang Long was shocked suddenly, according to Chen Kang, his company was newly established, but when he bought the battleship with him, he almost didn't hear him say that it would take time to build the battleship, but only said how many days it would take to ship. Doesn't this mean that his company has many warships, or that their company has the capacity to produce thousands of warships a year? Could such a company be a new one? And will the arms companies demand control of your economy? Feeling this, Tang Long's doubts about Chen Kang further deepened.
"Boss, you haven't said who you're going to sell to?" Seeing Tang Long in a daze, Fei Li couldn't help but ask again.
Tang Long, who was awakened, asked a little curiously: "Since those companies didn't come to buy so much, they had to sell to the political axe, but does the political axe have so much money?" ”
Fili smiled, smiling beautifully, she smiled and said to Tang Long, "Boss, don't you know that the Stygian Federation is the richest country in the Chaos Free Galaxy?" Fifty or sixty trillion yuan of funds can still be taken out by the Material Coordination Department. It's not that the political axe can't deal with those companies, but the political axe is afraid that people will be pushed down on the charge of participating in commercial actions, so he didn't take action!"
Hearing this, Tang Long was stunned for a moment, and secretly scolded himself for being an idiot. The more than 30 trillion funds that Red Lion Star couldn't take away last time, as well as the more than 20 trillion funds that he collected from the Tang family after he occupied Zhongzhou Star. These seemingly backward planets have tens of trillions of funds in existence, and a country like Pluto, which knows that it is a developed planet at a glance, will have no money? No one believes it when they are killed.
Just as Tang Long was embarrassed to say something, a middle-aged fat man walked towards Tang Long with a few big men, but before he could get closer, he was stopped by Tang Long's guards who stayed around on guard. The fat man didn't care, and opened his mouth to shout, "Hey! Boss Tang, I'm the manager of Kemi Company, and I have something to discuss with you! ”
Tang Long glanced at Fei Li, and Fei Li immediately said, "One of those companies may be here for you to sell the goods to him." ”
When Tang Long heard this, he suddenly asked, "How much can their company eat me?" ”
"That's about 100,000 tons." Fei Li looked at Tang Long strangely, did he want to sell them one by one?
Tang Long motioned to the guards to let the fat man come over, and at the same time smiled at Fei Li: "I sell him 100,000 tons for 8 yuan and 100 grams, and then sell all of them for 4 yuan and 100 grams to the political axe, what will the political axe do then?" What about their company? ”
Fei Li's eyes lit up and she whispered excitedly: "The political axe will be sold for 5 yuan and 100 grams, and they will lose a lot of money!" ”
Tang Long nodded with satisfaction and said, "These tasks will be handed over to you." ”
"Okay, I'm not going to let you down, boss." After finishing speaking, Fei Li got up, smiled professionally, stretched out her hand to the fat man and said, "Hello, I am Boss Tang's personal lawyer, please tell me if you have anything." ”
The fat man glanced at Tang Long angrily, because Tang Long actually didn't exist as if he didn't exist. However, he has played in the business sea, of course, he knows that this person is something he can't mess with, not to mention that he has 100 high-end transport ships that don't know what goods are loaded, and he knows how powerful he is just by spending 30 billion yuan to buy a piece of rotten land in the Department of Commerce.
At first, the businessmen did think that Tang Long was a big man who was easy to deceive, because no one would spend 30 billion yuan to buy a worthless piece of rotten land. But after hearing that Tang Long invested 200 billion yuan to rebuild the rotten land, preparing to turn the rotten land into a leisure area. Everyone smacks their tongues, this guy is scary-rich, don't mess with him. Even if he is a fool who is very easy to deceive, don't lie to him, because he is a rich man, and when he knows that he has been fooled, he will definitely retaliate with terror. As for why do the merchants know? Will Gems not go around promoting such a big deal when he receives such a big business?
"Well, I heard from a friend in the army that Mr. Tang generously gave them 100,000 tons of beef to improve their food. It just so happens that the contemptible company is a meat product trade, and this time I came to hope that Mr. Tang can sell the meat products in his hand to us, so that Mr. Tang can quickly recover the funds. The fat man said to Tang Long, it seems that he still doesn't want to talk to a lawyer about business.
Tang Long ignored him and just chatted with Tang Liwen, and Fei Li walked up to the fat man and said: "Of course my boss will not refuse this kind of quick recovery of funds, but we are not specialized in meat trade, so after sending 100,000 tons of beef, we only have 100,000 tons of beef products left." ”
Hearing Fei Li's words, the fat man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Tang Long's 100 spaceships were all loaded with meat products, and as long as 3 of the 100,000-ton spaceships were carrying meat products, it would be enough for his trading companies to go bankrupt. Now there are only 100,000 tons of meat products, which can be eaten completely. After thinking for a while, the fat man said, "How about we buy it at a price of 8 yuan a kilogram?" ”
Fili, who was originally full of smiles, immediately said with a calm face: "Are you bullying my boss and being a foreigner?" The purchase price you offered to the outside world is 8 yuan for 100 grams, and our 100,000 tons of beef are all high-quality goods, much better than what you sell in the market now. If you're not sincere, don't waste our time. ”
Of course, the fat man knew that those beef were first-class, and he had already learned about this from the army, so he hurriedly shook his hand and said: "No, no, we are really sincere, but we don't have so much money, after all, these 100,000 tons will cost 800 billion!" ”
"Don't have so much money? Joke, each of your companies has hundreds of billions of assets, will there be so much money? Moreover, the supply in the market is scarce now, not to mention the other planets of the Styx Federation, this capital star alone can consume tens of thousands of tons. You can go to the bank for a loan, anyway, the money will be returned as soon as it changes hands. "Fili deliberately hinted that they went to the bank to take out a loan to buy beef.
The fat man hesitated for a while, his company was not out of money, but most of the funds were used up in the process of absorbing meat products. It's not that I didn't take out a loan, and most of the money I borrowed was used to buy 50,000 tons of beef with the army for 4 yuan and 100 grams, and now if I want to take out a loan, I'm afraid I will have to mortgage the house.
Tang Long saw that the fat man was hesitating, so he said loudly: "Forget it, anyway, I'm going to give those beef to the political axe, if you really want it, then charge you a price of 4 yuan for 100 grams." Fili just wanted to open her mouth when she heard this, but she suddenly remembered that those companies should not have much money besides absorbing so many meat products, and if the price was not cheaper, they probably wouldn't take out loans. So he changed his words and said: "Oh, you see how generous my boss is, he sold it to you directly at the purchase price of the political axe, that is, 400 billion, if you hesitate any longer, my boss will give it directly to the political axe, anyway, my boss doesn't care about the hundreds of billions." ”
The fat man thought that the beef he bought from the army had sold more than half of it in just one day, and that it was sold to the butcher at a price of 10 yuan and 100 grams, and he could see that it would not be long before he could make a lot of money. Bank loans? No problem, you can repay the last loan in two or three days. Thinking of this, the fat man gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay! Deal! Please give us 2 ...... No, 3 hours to raise funds, 3 hours later to hand over the money and deliver the goods in one hand! ”
"No problem, the ship is parked in the spaceport, as soon as the money is posted, you can move it immediately. Then I'll be waiting for you here for three hours. Tang Long got up and said.
"Thank you." The fat man thanked him and immediately turned away, running faster than his bodyguard.
At this moment, Tang Long asked Fei Li curiously, "Is the efficiency of your bank here so fast?" Can you complete the review and disburse a 400 billion loan in three hours? ”
"We don't have a national bank, all the banks of the Stygian Federation are branches of the Cosmic Bank, of course it's fast." Fili laughed.
Tang Long showed the original expression and nodded. The largest cosmic bank in the universe is the fastest of all banks in reviewing mortgages and issuing loans, no wonder that fat man dares to say that it only takes 3 hours.
Tang Long thought for a while and said, "Fei Li, you help me contact the Material Coordination Department, and say that I have tens of millions of tons of meat products, and I am willing to sell them at a price of 2 yuan for 100 grams." ”
Fei Li couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Tang Long lower the price by herself, but she quickly asked, "I don't know what you want from the political axe, boss?" She didn't believe that a merchant would be kind enough to sell his goods for less than the customer's bid.
Tang Long smiled: "I am a merchant, in order to expand my business career, I need the galaxy map collected by the Stygian Federation's political axe, tell them not to perfunctory me with what can be bought on the street." Another is to sign a trade contract with me, and I promise that every week there will be 100 merchant ships with a capacity of 100,000 tons each to bring all kinds of vegetables and meat commodities to the Stygian Federation. The price of these goods will be left to you to negotiate with the political axe. ”
"Okay, I'll try to get you the best galaxy map on the Stygian Federation. As for that trade contract, I believe that once the Stygian Axe knows, he will be eager to sign a contract with you, after all, the Stygian Federation does not have any farms. This shouldn't be a condition, boss, don't you change it? Fili thought for a moment and laughed.
"No need, anyway, I put forward these two conditions to make money." Tang Long shook his head, apart from these two conditions, he really couldn't think of any conditions to mention.
"So I'm going to do it?" Fili asked in an inquiring tone.
"Well, the sooner the better, my surname is urgent." Tang Long nodded.
Soon, Fili came back two hours after leaving, and she picked up a cold drink and drank a few sips before saying, "Boss, the Material Coordination Department introduced me directly to the Prime Minister after knowing my intention." The Prime Minister was very happy to hear the news I brought him, and promised to give you a copy of the latest galaxy map of the Political Axe Collection as soon as he signed the contract. The Prime Minister also asked me to tell you that they don't want you to lose too much, and your goods are all first-class, so they are ready to buy all your supplies with 50 trillion. Also, this is the type of transaction and price list issued by the material coordination department, as long as the contract is signed, your company can trade according to this price in the future. As he spoke, he handed Tang Long a magnetic card.
Although Tang Long felt that it was a bit of a fuss for a prime minister to deal with this matter, he didn't bother to care about it, and nodded to Fili and said with satisfaction: "Well, well done, when we buy the 100,000 tons of beef, we will sign a contract with the prime minister immediately." He took the magnetic card and put it in his arms without looking at it, anyway, no matter how the Stygian Federation political axe lowers the price, he will make money.
Fei Li understood the meaning of Tang Long's words very well, and nodded with a smile. And Tang Liwen was already bored and relied on Tang Long to take a nap.
It didn't take long for Tang Long, who had completed the transaction with those companies, to sign a trade contract with the Stygian Federation Political Axe, and in addition to getting a precious galaxy map, he also received a discount of only 8% tax on the transactions of the 'Niu Niu Interstellar Trade Unlimited Company'. As for the meat products sold to the political axe, the price at which the political axe was launched on the market was not Tang Long's concern. But Tang Long can be sure that those companies will soon go out of business.
That night, everyone discussed whether to go back or continue to trade, Tang Long thought for a while and said: "We don't have to worry that someone will find their home, most of the people who dare to find the door are afraid of us, so now is the time to start trade, as long as we get rich, we don't have to be afraid of anyone at all!" Let's discuss how to decide. Although no matter what you do, it is Tang Long's business, Tang Long still believes that the best decision can only be made by gathering the opinions of the people.
Hearing Tang Long's words, everyone thought that the Tang family was destroyed, the vitality of the Caesar family was greatly damaged, and the remaining three forces were unlikely to attack themselves, but it can be said that now is the time to vigorously develop, so they nodded in agreement. Judging from the performance of these retainers, Tang Long's gathering of public opinion could only be miscarried.
Fili, who felt that this meeting was going strangely, saw that everyone was silent, so she reminded loudly: "Boss, the specialty of the Stygian Sea Star is high-tech electronic products, and products such as small computers and hovering cars are very popular on other planets." ”
"Yes, tomorrow everyone will go shopping, and if you like it, you will buy it and load a few merchant ships for him!" Tang Long, who has tens of trillions of funds in the card, said magnificently. As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Liwen jumped up excitedly, and the other black-clothed men also looked happy.
"Boss, I'm talking about trade procurement." Fei Li said eagerly, she thought that Tang Long did not understand her words.
"You don't understand this, I'm a trade purchase. We shop with the mindset of ordinary people, and what we like and are willing to spend money on, others will be willing to spend money on. That way, we won't get goods that no one wants. Tang Long shook his fingers and said.
"I see." Hearing this, Fili nodded in realization, it seems that her boss really understands the psychology of guests.
Tang Long, who announced the dismissal of the meeting, suddenly remembered something and stopped Fili and said, "You pack your things, and you don't know when you will be able to come back after leaving the Stygian Sea Star in a few days." ”
Fili nodded, and began to think about what she needed to bring.
On the third day, Tang Long and his party, who had spent a day yesterday filling 99 merchant ships with a variety of products, had already driven the merchant ships out of the atmosphere of the star.
Looking at the galaxy map of the Stygian Federation political axe version in the computer, Tang Long exclaimed: "It is worthy of being the galaxy map collected by the richest country in the chaos-free galaxy, and the planet orientation of the entire chaos-free galaxy has actually been collected by them one-fifth, which is amazing!" Saying this, Tang Long shook his head regretfully, because this galaxy map is a commercial version, and the special products of each planet on it are introduced. Of course, it was a pity for Tang Long, who was eager to get a military version.
Tang Liwen, who was lying on Tang Long's shoulder and watching the galaxy map, suddenly pointed to the corner of the galaxy map and asked, "Brother, what planet is that?" Why don't there be any other planets around him? ”
Following Tang Liwen's finger, Tang Long found that at the bottom left of the galaxy map, there was a small administrative star that was alone there. It can be concluded that there is no planet in this planet's field except for it and stars. Why? On the map of the galaxy, it was pitch black around it.
As soon as he saw such a lonely planet, Tang Long immediately clicked on this planet with interest to check the information. I saw that the planet, which was originally as big as a bean, immediately became the size of a football, and the name "Earth" appeared above the planet.
