Chapter 194 The Order of the Golden Horn Clan (4 updates)
The virtual universe is an independent plane specially created by Jiang Chen using his authority.
The scale of this plane is not too big, almost the same as 'Black Dragon Mountain Island'.
Just such a plane cost Jiang Chen more than 200 billion points, and this was the price after discounts.
And if Jiang Chen is not a disciple of the founder of Giant Axe, and does not have sufficient authority, it is completely impossible to spend money to purchase an 'independent plane' in the virtual universe.
In the virtual universe, the level of the 'independent plane' is very high. Without the permission of the master, even the general master of the universe is not qualified to break into it.
This plane is the exclusive plane of ‘Universe Technology Company’.
In the plane, there are mainly mechanical apostles under Jiang Chen and some hired service personnel.
After becoming a living being, the mechanical apostle also has his own joys, sorrows, joys, etc., and naturally has the need for enjoyment.
In the plane, entertainment venues have naturally been opened for consumption by these mechanical apostles and some guests who occasionally come to discuss business.
Of course, the most important thing in this dimension is the business development of ‘Universe Technology Company’.
For a force, having an independent plane is itself a symbol of strength and can make the customers of Universe Technology Company more confident in cooperation.
Especially outside the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, Jiang Chen’s name is not that easy to use. When expanding business, he needs to ‘dress up’ even more.
It has been more than a hundred years since the establishment of ‘Universe Technology Company’.
Jiang Chen didn't have much involvement. Apart from personally handling some business in the first few years, since the birth of the Mechanical Apostle, Jiang Chen has never personally managed the company's affairs, leaving everything to the machinery. The apostles took care of it.
Usually I just provide some technology, and occasionally upgrade the company's 'products' or add new products.
In addition, there are also some more important matters that the mechanical apostle does not have the authority to decide, so he comes to ask Jiang Chen for his opinion.
As for the daily operations and so on, Jiang Chen simply left them all to the mechanical apostle to deal with. He would not interfere at all. At most, he would occasionally care about the financial situation.
The mechanical apostle under his command is fully capable of taking charge of all aspects of business alone.
In fact, this is exactly the case. All branches of 1008 Universe Country have been established long ago.
However, except for Ganwu Universe Country, which is Jiang Chen’s hometown, and Jiang Chen’s name is more useful, it is very difficult for the other 1007 Universe Kingdoms to quickly occupy the market, and they need to establish contacts with local forces little by little. To expand your business, first establish yourself and then think about expansion.
This process cannot be completed in just a hundred years.
Except for the Ganwu Universe Nation branch, the other 1007 Universe Nation branches can at best not lose money.
If you want to make money, it will take a long time to operate.
Unless Jiang Chen goes to his teacher and asks his teacher to send an email to the leaders of each universe country.
However, it is really unnecessary to ask the founder of the giant ax to come forward for such a trivial matter.
As long as he doesn’t lose money and develops slowly, Jiang Chen doesn’t care.
——
Over the huge island, among the endless clouds, there is a luxurious manor.
This is one of Jiang Chen’s residences.
In the virtual universe, Jiang Chen naturally has a large number of residences, but this manor in his own plane is Jiang Chen's favorite place.
There is no other reason, just because this place gives Jiang Chen a sense of 'belonging'.
The Chinese people’s ‘land plot’ cannot be erased even in the virtual universe.
In the reception room in the manor.
A mechanical void dragon 'Nair', which had shrunk a lot and was only a little over one meter long, knelt down in front of Jiang Chen and said in a deep voice: "Master, this is the year of the Qianwu branch. Revenue Report ”
As he spoke, a virtual screen appeared in mid-air, displaying a form.
The content of the form is the revenue of the ‘Universe Technology Company-Qianwu Universe Country Branch’ under Jiang Chen’s name.
Jiang Chen skipped the trivial data in front and looked directly at the end of the report.
Total revenue: 1,845.8 billion mixed yuan units.
Total profit: 729.2 billion mixed yuan units.
Two astonishing figures made Jiang Chen a little surprised: "So many?"
In more than a hundred years, annual profits have soared from several billion units to more than 700 billion units. , this increase can be said to be very amazing.
What is even more astonishing is that the profit of the previous year was only more than 90 billion mixed yuan units, which did not break through to the scale of '100 billion'.
In one year, it increased nearly eight times?
What an astonishing increase this is!
The market of Ganwu Universe Country is actually very large, enough to support profits of more than 100 billion mixed yuan per year.
But the hundreds of billions of Hunyuan units cannot be supported by the market of Ganwu Universe Country alone.
Unless the leader of Ganwu Kingdom, or the few invincible kings in the universe, suddenly have any special needs, they will purchase a large amount from Jiang Chen.
Or perhaps the branches of the five giants in Ganwu Universe Country are conducting large-scale purchases.
General forces simply don’t have such strong financial resources.
This is not a problem that can be solved by simply delving into the market.
90% of the wealth of an entire universe country is handed over to the ethnic group. Of the remaining 10%, more than half are concentrated in the hands of a very few powerful people such as the Lord of the Universe. The rest are the immortal families and immortal forces scattered throughout the universe, as well as large and small medium and low-level universes. domestic.
Of course, this little thing left is enough to make the private business level in the universe very prosperous.
The scale of resources that a cosmic country can obtain every year is extremely exaggerated. Even if one percent is dispersed, it is still an astonishing wealth.
But just relying on this one percent, no matter how amazing Jiang Chen's 'Universe Technology Company' develops and how many industries it involves, it will not be able to take away all the wealth in everyone's hands.
Jiang Chen's main business is, after all, related to technology, mainly energy, spaceships, intelligence, technological weapons, genetic modification, etc.
There is a cap on the overall size of these fields.
What's more, Jiang Chen still has to abide by some regulations jointly set by the five giants, such as not selling powerful technological weapons to unauthorized forces, etc.
Generally, the control of technological weapons above C level is relatively strict.
E-class and F-class technological weapons that can really make huge profits have extremely strict restrictions.
It’s fine for your own use, but if you want to sell it on a large scale, you can only sell it to those ‘buyers’ who have sufficient authority.
But they don’t necessarily need these things.
This further limits the domestic ‘market size’ of a universe. When Jiang Chen established the 'Universe Technology Company', he consulted a large amount of information and asked Jarvis to calculate it.
Human Race 1008 Universe Country, even if Jiang Chen achieves a monopoly in the industry he is involved in, without significantly controlling prices, a universe country will only last a year. Achieve revenue of more than 600 billion yuan per unit and profit of more than 200 billion yuan per unit.
This is already the limit that the market in a universe can accommodate under normal circumstances.
The real boss is actually making deals with the army of the universe country and even the army of the human race.
But such large-volume purchases often only happen once in many years.
The most recent large-scale replacement and purchase of equipment for the Ganwu Universe Nation’s legions happened tens of thousands of years ago.
At least since the establishment of Jiang Chen's 'Universe Technology Company', he has not heard of any large-scale procurement behavior from any other universe country or the five giants.
Without such ‘large-amount’ transactions, how can we make hundreds of billions of dollars a year in profits just by operating in the private market of Wuxi Universe?
Jiang Chen couldn't understand something.
Nair immediately explained: "The main reason is to open up the transactions of the 'Golden Horn Clan' and earn a lot of profits. Among them, nearly 600 billion Hunyuan units of profit come from and' The Golden Horn Tribe’s Trade.”
Hearing this explanation, Jiang Chen suddenly understood.
A cosmic country cannot support an annual income of over one trillion units and a profit of hundreds of billions.
But a group of people can easily digest this huge amount of resources.
Even though the Golden Horn ethnic group is just a small ethnic group that is dependent on the human ethnic group.
But an ethnic group that can have its own territory in an extremely dangerous universe, even if it is called a 'small ethnic group', is actually amazing in terms of population size and number of strong people.
Even the weakest ethnic group is a cosmic country that is stronger than the human ethnic group.
——Of course, this is without counting the powerful men from the Universe Kingdom among the five giants. It only counts the powerful men, the army, the population, etc. that directly belong to the Universe Kingdom itself.
According to the general classification method in the universe, the Golden Horn ethnic group belongs to the "ordinary ethnic group". There are many powerful people at the level of cosmic sages, and there are even existences at the level of top cosmic overlords. Unfortunately, they have long since fallen.
According to the data of the human race, there are three existing cosmic sages in the Golden Horn race, and there are over ten thousand immortal gods at the king level.
As for the population...it is impossible to count it at all.
Although compared to the human race, the Golden Horn race is very poor.
Only the feudal kings in their clan can afford to equip the F-class airships that are standard among the human race and are even owned by many ordinary immortals and genius world masters.
In terms of weapons, equipment, etc., they are also several levels behind the strong human beings and geniuses of the same level.
But they are an ethnic group after all. No matter how poor they are, their overall wealth is still an astonishing figure.
Trading with the Golden Horn Clan will naturally bring huge profit margins.
Jiang Chen vaguely remembered that when he asked the mechanical apostle to take over the 'Universe Technology Company', Nair mentioned that the Golden Horn tribe wanted to 'do business' with him.
However, Jiang Chen's judgment at the time was that the Golden Horn tribe intended to use this to get closer to him, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
At that time, Jiang Chen had just briefly cooperated with the Golden Horn tribe because of the capture of the Zerg spy organization. It was normal for the other party to want to use this opportunity to get closer to each other.
Every vassal group that comes into contact with the core genius of the human race will behave like this.
As long as it doesn’t involve the secrets of the ethnic group, Jiang Chen doesn’t bother to care.
But unexpectedly, a hundred years later, the Golden Horn tribe suddenly gave Jiang Chen a surprise.
It brought in profits of nearly 600 billion mixed yuan units at once, which is not a small amount.
If every year...
No!
Jiang Chen quickly reacted and asked: "What exactly did the Golden Horn tribe buy?"
"Mainly energy blocks, alloy materials, spaceships, and a small number of technological weapons. ." Nair immediately replied: "According to value. Calculated, the quantities purchased in these four categories are similar, with slightly more alloy materials. "
"Alloy materials?" Jiang Chen wondered: "Why do the Golden Horn tribe buy so many alloy materials? Can't they produce them themselves? ”
"It should be for eating." Nair reminded: "Master, the Golden Horn tribe likes to eat some special alloys, which also helps them improve their strength."
After Nair's reminder, Jiang Chen suddenly In retrospect, the life form of the Golden Horn tribe is different from that of humans.
It’s normal to eat different things.
However, rock life eats alloys?
Jiang Chen always felt that something was strange.
However, Jiang Chen didn't pay too much attention to these details. What does the Golden Horn tribe like to eat have anything to do with him?
Whether they can continue to provide orders is more important.
"You are relatively familiar with the company's business. Based on your judgment, will an order of this size from the Golden Horn Clan only occur once in a while, or is it likely to develop into a long-term order?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Master, we have signed a long-term cooperation agreement with the Golden Horn Clan." Nair showed a copy of the contract and said: "We have traded in small quantities many times before, and the Golden Horn Clan has no intention of us. I am very satisfied with the 'samples' provided and have decided to make long-term, large-scale purchases. This current order is just the beginning. As long as cooperation channels and trust are established, I am sure to expand the scale of transactions with the Golden Horn Group by more than a hundred times."
Jiang Chen opened the contract and took a few glances at it.
The content is similar to what Nair said. Universe Technology Company provides a series of products such as energy blocks, alloy materials, spaceships, technological weapons, etc. to the Golden Horn tribe. The Golden Horn tribe pays in the form of their tribe’s unique minerals and cosmic crystals. Using the price of goods within the human race as a measurement standard, it is uniformly converted into cosmic crystals.
In terms of profit, the profit is higher than that of trade within the universe country. This is the unspoken rule of the human race when doing business with the vassal race. The vassal race has to pay a higher price to buy it. High quality 'merchandise'.
In fact, every peak group has a similar attitude towards the vassal group.
However, after deducting the 'tax' to be paid to the ethnic group, the actual profit is not much higher. It is mainly based on quantity.
Well, even if you do business in the universe, you still have to pay taxes.
You don't need to care about these transactions between strong individuals, and no one cares about them.
But for formal companies, this process is indispensable.
Trade within the planet must pay taxes to the planet lord.
The trade of the universe country must pay taxes to the Lord of the universe country.
Trade across ethnic groups also requires taxes to be paid to the ethnic group.
But the proportion is not high.
At least for Jiang Chen's 'Universe Technology Company', the bulk of the cost has never been taxes, but the cost of raw materials.
Even if large-scale procurement is possible from the ‘Garbage Star Territory’, the proportion of raw material costs remains high.
