However, although it was said that he had made a few fewer trips, Fang Chen actually took this opportunity to run a few more times.

This time he went back and directly used all 56 billion star yuan as the capital to buy food, and the profit after returning this time was only 55%.

It was a little higher than he expected, and he thought it was going to fall even more.

After all, Apple Star has now begun to produce its own food, although due to the fact that the planet has just been developed, the yield is not very high.

Without resting, he continued to return to the Tiangang Empire, and used all the total 86.8 billion star yuan accumulated in his hand as capital, and bought a full 86.8 billion kilograms of grain in one go.

In the Tiangang Empire, the market price of rice is one star yuan per kilogram.

Of course, this is the cheapest old rice, and the price of new rice and high-end grain is certainly not this price.

It's just that Apple Xing's side is now purchasing strategic reserve grain, and the demand for grain is large, and it doesn't matter what the taste is, as long as the grain can be eaten, anyway, as long as the grain can be eaten.

One ton of rice is 1.25 cubic meters, and 86.8 billion kilograms is equal to 108.5 million cubic meters, which requires a very large transport ship with a total capacity of 200 million cubic meters to fill it.

However, the price of this wave fell by a large margin, and the total profit was only 40% of the original, and the funds obtained after all the sales were 121.5 billion star dollars.

Obviously, as Apple Star began to produce its own grain, and a large amount of grain reserves were shipped, prices began to fall according to the laws of the market.

This belongs to the normal market law, Fang Chen didn't say anything, but he was a little shocked that he was too late.

Next, Fang Chen continued to run the business, and he still bought food, and did not change other commodities.

There is no way, the supply of other commodities that can make more money is a problem, and for ordinary people, the only commodity trade that can be done is food.

Because there is an unwritten rule within human civilization that it is not allowed to restrict the food trade in the open space.

If there are fewer other supplies, you can work hard, and if you don't eat, you will die.

Of course, this does not mean that ordinary players can only trade grain, they can also do other trades, and there is no problem with small scales, but they cannot do other bulk trades.

Next, Fang Chen went back and forth three times in one go, and the profit was less than the other.

The profit of the first trip fell to 25%, and the next two trips fell to 20%, according to Yue Quandu and him, Qingping Star will continue to buy reserve grain, but the price will be fixed at 20% and will not rise again.

If you want to earn more, you can trade on other planets.

Exploring other planets in the star field, several large teams, and even those alien civilizations are short of food, and they can go there to trade and earn more.

But....

Fang Chen spread his hands and said:

"It's not necessary, the batch of grain I have accumulated on hand has already been sold, this is the last trip, and I won't do this in the future."

Yue Quandu was a little surprised, opened his mouth to speak and stopped, but finally did not speak.

Although he didn't say anything, Fang Chen guessed what he wanted to say.

On the last two trips, he already felt that his behavior seemed to have been targeted.

After all, it is normal to be targeted by other forces for continuous trade in a very short period of time.

It takes more than four months and nearly five months for others to transport it from the Tiangang Empire, and it takes nearly a year to go back and forth, and you only need to go back and forth every month, which is too fast.

Once or twice no one pays attention, you keep going back and forth, and you will always be noticed by some caring people.

So after completing the last transaction, Fang Chen decided not to do it.

Anyway, I made a lot of money after these few trips.

With a capital of 121.5 billion star yuan, 25% of a trip is 1519.

On this basis, the two more transactions were 20% of the revenue, which were 182.28 billion and 218.736 billion rings respectively.

After deducting the back-and-forth relationship, there are still 216 billion star dollars left, and it will take half a year in total.

At this time, Fang Chen had already built another destroyer, as well as 4 frigates.

With the addition of this, he now has 2 T5 destroyers and 8 T5 frigates.

In addition to this, the destroyer construction materials on hand have been exhausted, and there are 6 frigate materials left, as well as 2 T5 cruiser blueprints, 10 T5 destroyer blueprints, and 26 T5 frigate blueprints.

To be honest, there is no shortage of blueprints now, but there is still a shortage of money.

Don't look at the more than 200 billion star dollars now, but it is still not enough to spend if you really want to let go.

Not to mention the battleships, they can't even afford to build one, even the cruisers are enough now.

If you want to build a cruiser, you have to have a shipyard first, the new one is 150 billion star dollars, the old one is 80 billion, and the old and aging shipyard like the one before is more than 30 billion.

It is worth mentioning that the two frigates and destroyer shipyards in his hands are indeed quite old, and they have dropped their chains many times during construction, which has seriously slowed down the construction speed.

And every time one is built, it needs to be maintained again, which requires a one-month interval, and the materials required for maintenance are very expensive.

Fang Chen was already thinking about selling it and buying a new one.

However, considering the limited funds on hand and other needs, Fang Chen finally decided to postpone the purchase of the cruiser dockyard, and first spent 25 billion star yuan to buy 5 sets of frigate production lines, and 40 billion star yuan to buy two new destroyer production lines.

As for the old ones, they were sold at a discount, and only four billion were returned.

In addition, 26 frigates were purchased for construction materials at a price of 400 million sets, and a total of 10.4 billion star dollars were spent.

At the price of 3.96 billion star dollars per set, 10 destroyers were purchased with construction materials, and a total of 39.6 billion star dollars were spent.

The materials for the construction of the cruiser were not bought, in addition to the lack of money, the main thing was that there was no shipyard, and it was useless to buy them.

Of the remaining 105 billion star dollars, Fang Chen purchased 1 Dushen-class super large transport ship at the price of 30 billion star yuan, 5 large transport ships at the price of 3 billion star yuan, and a super large industrial ship at the price of 30 billion star yuan, and 2 large industrial ships at the price of 3 billion star yuan.

In addition, at the price of 100 million star yuan each, a full 100 towing cargo compartments with a single capacity of up to 20 million square meters were purchased, which can be used to store goods.

This used up 91 billion star dollars in one fell swoop.

Then, at a unit price of 1.5 billion, five large mining ships were purchased, totaling 7.5 billion star yuan.

The large mining ship has 16 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, 60 unmanned mining robots, 36 self-defense robots, 10,000 cargo holds, and a total capacity of 10 million.

After completing these purchases, Fang Chen spent most of the year earning more than 200 billion star yuan, and suddenly only 6.5 billion star yuan was left, and it was bright again.

However, the expenditure of so much money was not in vain, and he basically completed a complete set of equipment necessary for the base, and theoretically with these things in his hands, he could already go out and open up his own business.

Fang Chen also couldn't wait, and after only two days, he set off again, and then returned to the Pioneer Star Domain.
