Chapter 20 The fleet is beginning to take shape
For a listed group, the split is definitely bad news. Once confirmed, Miele Heavy Industries' share price will definitely plummet.
I happened to have a capital of 50 million stars, and I happened to know this news. I entered the game early to make a fortune. I could collect some interest first, and I could avenge this revenge when I became stronger.
In the next few days, except for selling some of the ores mined by the mining ship for 530,000 yuan, he stayed on the spaceship and never left the Xilan system. Every day, apart from chatting with Lao Ye and asking for information about joining the legion, he Watch the stock market.
As he expected, as Miele Heavy Industries changed its landmark LOG in Xilan and officially announced the split, Miele Heavy Industries' stock price fell to the limit that day, plummeting 10%.
After that, it fell to the limit for six consecutive days. In the past seven days, Miele Heavy Industries' total market value evaporated by 53%. Then it continued to fall for several days before slowly recovering. At this time, Levi decisively stopped.
At this time, his 50 million star dollars had become 102.95 million star dollars.
Triple leverage of 50 million stars can leverage 150 million funds. If the short position falls by 10%, normal without leverage you can only earn 10%, but triple leverage can earn 30%.
Miele Heavy Industries' market value has evaporated by 53% these days. Triple leverage is 159% of revenue. After deducting 3% of handling fees, the total capital is 125.61 million.
Not to mention how much money those financial giants who knew the news in advance made, anyway, Levi was satisfied and stopped directly.
He didn't dare to go long after going short. A novice like him in the stock market couldn't see the situation clearly. After all, Miele Heavy Industries was a large group with hundreds of years of history. Broken ships had three-inch nails, so they would definitely not sit back and watch the stock market continue to fall.
It can be expected that the stock will rise again after a while, but he does not know when.
If it continues to be short and suddenly rebounds, wouldn't it be a setback?
Therefore, the right way to get out as soon as you have almost made enough money is to call it your own money.
I have to say that making money in the stock market is really fierce. 50 million has doubled several times in a few days, but this kind of good opportunity is rare. If he hadn't known the news in advance, a rookie like him would lose his pants in every minute on the stock market. Nothing left.
“It’s a pity that the capital is still too little!”
With a capital of 125.68 million, Levi suddenly had a lot of money. Although the investment in building a fleet was still a drop in the bucket and a better cruiser couldn't afford it, it was still pretty good in the early stage.
With money on hand, he immediately found Lao Ye and spent 37.5 million to equip five third-level Raptor-class frigates.
Lao Ye was not too surprised. He knew that Li Wei had made a fortune after completing that task.
In addition, he originally wanted to configure a cruiser by the way. Unfortunately, Lao Ye had just entered the industry and only had frigates and a few destroyers on hand. He did not have large battleships such as cruisers, and the destroyer Levi did not want it.
Destroyers are a medium-sized multi-functional ship type with assault, air defense, escort, patrol, security, reconnaissance and other functions. They are an enhanced version of frigates.
When ordinary players have no money on hand, they can only buy destroyers and modify them for better use, but this does not change the embarrassing situation of destroyers with insufficient firepower and weak armor. Levi already has a bunch of Raptor-class frigates in his hands, and it is impossible to buy another batch of destroyers. He now What is needed is a main battleship.
The best is of course the battleship, but as the absolute main battleship besides the flagship, battleships, not to mention the difficulty of obtaining them, are prohibitive to most players just because of the terrifying price of 600 million for the bare ships.
600 million bare boats, more than 1 billion top-level configurations, one set can cost less than 2 billion and it won’t be worth it.
But such a high price also gives the battleship super combat effectiveness. The X-slot main gun is so powerful that it can easily blow up a destroyer with a level three or lower configuration head-on if hit head-on.
Although the escort ship in Levi's hands is powerful now, it can never defeat a battleship in a head-on battle, even with a full set of seven-level technologies.
Players who own a battleship at any time can be called a master no matter where they go. This is also the watershed between ordinary players and master players.
Lao Ye didn't have a cruiser, but he had several cruiser blueprints. The lowest bare-bone Ranger-class cruiser cost 60 million stars, but the blueprints only cost 15 million. He bought one on the spot for 15 million, without buying any accessories. The drawings were too troublesome, and he planned to buy the finished product directly when the time came.
Returning to Star City, the materials for building the cruiser were directly purchased through the auction house, costing a total of 38 million in materials.
A bare ship cost 60 million yuan, deducting 15 million yuan of drawings and 38 million yuan of materials, resulting in a net profit of 7 million star yuan.
"Hiss!"
Levi instantly sensed a business opportunity.
"The drawings and materials can be purchased directly from the auction house. I have ready-made shipyards. If one ship earns so much, ten ships will make a net profit of 70 million. If one hundred ships, isn't that 700 million?"
He opened the auction house excitedly, but his face fell in the next second.
The idea is fine, but the problem is that the auction house does not have drawings of cruisers, not even frigates. The hundreds of pictures are all priced much higher than the market price, so only fools buy them.
After thinking about it, he sent a message to Lao Ye asking. After a while, Lao Ye's projection appeared in front of him and said with a smile:
"You are overthinking. There is no businessman or legion in the blueprint thing that is not in a desperate situation. I don't know how many businessmen are guarding the auction house. Unless the price is far higher than the super market price, otherwise the blueprint will be auctioned immediately as soon as it comes online, and it will not be your turn at all.< br>
"Okay!"
The money-making plan went bankrupt before it even started.
He doesn't dare to explode the universe in his palm and the dock inside, even if he pretends that it is a special relic, at least not at this stage. Although there are such relics with their own space in the stars, that kind of treasure is too valuable. It's too high, and he can't keep it now.
Maybe when you become stronger in the future, you can pretend that you have a treasure with its own space, and then find a powerful businessman to cooperate with you in doing business.
For now, let’s just make money honestly.
After all the drawings and materials were sent to the shipyard in Palm Universe, the cruiser construction took six days.
This refers to the time of the super dock in Levi's hands. If it were replaced by an ordinary dock of other players or NPCs, the construction time might take two or three months.
Then, he spent a total of 30 million to buy a complete set of second-level equipment for this cruiser. He originally wanted to buy a set of third-level accessories, but the third-level set cost 40 million, and there was not enough money left, so he had to buy all the accessories. Level 2.
Well, the hyperdrive is level three, and the level two hyperdrive doesn't have the ability to jump and can't keep up with the fleet.
Calculating this, the total price of even a second-level equipped Ranger-class cruiser is about 90 million.
It is worth mentioning that the small gift given to him by Minister Meng of Sino Heavy Industries was an industrial ship, which he could pick up directly with the card.
The industrial ship is a type of logistics support ship. It has a huge cargo capacity and towing capacity. It can automatically collect salvaged trophies, repair injured ships, and replenish ammunition. The unit price on the market is 12 million.
After doing all this, he only had 5.198 million star dollars left in his account.
Then he went to Star City again, found the First Insurance Company of the Empire, and bought an insurance policy for all his warships except the escort ships.
Levi is now the lowest D-class customer. The insurance premium is 1.5% of the total price of the battleship, and the claim limit is 20%. This means that if the battleship is sunk, the insurance company will pay 20% of the total price of the ship.
He originally wanted to pay an insurance for the escort ship, but after the insurance company evaluated it, his escort ship was appraised at 450 million star dollars. With the addition of 7 Raptor-class frigates and industrial ships, the total value exceeded 500 million stars. , the 1.5% insurance premium is as high as more than 7.5 million.
Insufficient balance.
You can only buy an insurance policy for seven frigates and industrial ships first, with a total value of 64.5 million, and the 1.5% premium is 967,500. (End of chapter)
