Chapter 522 Negotiated
First of all, transforming the neutron battle star requires high-density materials of the same quality as it. The cost of these materials alone is at least around 50 billion.
"Secondly, I also need to complete the assembly of various components on it. You must also be aware of the weight and high temperature on the surface of the Neutron Battle Star."
"When I work on it, no matter how advanced the technology my robots use, they will never survive for more than an hour. This means that I lose a large number of robots every hour."
"The transformation time of the entire neutron battle star is usually based on 10 years. You can estimate how many robots I will lose in 10 years. To be honest, if I am not a robot seller, doing this business is just a mechanical The human cost starts at least several hundred billion.”
Hearing this, the Emperor Penguin couldn't help but interjected: "Mr. Tyrone, what you said is a bit exaggerated."
"As far as I know, the biggest cost in the robot loss process is when there is no gravity shielding system. Usually if you are making a neutron battle star, in order to reduce the loss, I am thinking that you should give priority to installing this thing. , so large-scale loss of the robot will only occur when this equipment is installed.”
He doesn't deny what Emperor Penguin said about Tyrone.
"Indeed, what you said is true. The highest loss in manufacturing a neutron battle star is when the gravity shielding system is not installed, but this is only for ordinary neutron battle stars."
"If you just want a neutron battle star that can compete with the early 8th-level starry sky behemoth, I can sell it to you for 50 billion, but I heard what the old bastard said, what you want is a neutron battle star that can compete with the eighth-level peak starry sky behemoth. The neutron battle star that the beast contends with.”
"Although on the surface it seems that the difference between the early stage of the eighth level and the peak of the eighth level is not big, they are both in the eighth stage, but at this stage, not to mention that there are two such large combat units."
"Even if they are both in the early eighth level, they still have to be ranked first, so the difference between the early eighth level and the peak civilization in the early eighth level is also very exaggerated."
"After all, at this stage of civilization, it is very difficult to advance even one step, and the neutron battle star you want needs to go through so many steps, so the cost is not here, and there is nothing I can do."
< br>
"So I still say this, bosses, if you only need 50 billion to compete with the early stage of the eighth level, I will sell you one immediately. But if you want to compete with the eighth level peak civilization, if you need 1300 less, then I will do it This order will only lose money.”
At this time, after hearing what Tai Long said, the players also looked at each other.
Although the players are not clear about the twists and turns inside, they understand what Tai Long said. After all, although they are both at level 8, the difference in strength is too great. If you want to make up for these disparities, the cost must go up. .
But players don’t know how much the specific cost will be.
And this is the most troublesome thing.
However, although they didn't know how much it had increased, the players knew very well that it would never rise to 130 billion. Thinking of this, they decided to take a small taste first.
"In this way, Mr. Tailong, we are all happy people, how about a deal of 65 billion."
When Tai Lung heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
"I'm telling you, bosses, we don't have to cut prices like this when we bargain. If you cut it in half, I can't do business."
"I'll tell you the truth. Everything I told you before is true. The material cost to manufacture this battle star is 50 billion. Including the loss of my robot plus my labor and other mess, the fixed expenses are at least 50 billion. 90 billion is the bottom line.”
"In this way, I will make 100 billion as a friend. Let's settle this matter. What do you think?"
Several players who came over to negotiate after hearing this also began to communicate privately.
"I always feel that there is a lot of moisture in this price."
"But judging from his attitude, I guess this is the bottom line."
"The main reason is that we don't know the specific cost. If what he said is true, then the price is quite reasonable. After all, after removing the cost, people will make a little profit no matter what."
"You said that we would work in vain without making a penny. This is definitely impossible, but if what he said is not true, wouldn't we have suffered a huge loss this time?"
"Let's explore the bottom first and see if we can press down a little further."
After the quality was improved, I only heard the players talking.
"One hundred billion is still too expensive, and we won't print 80 billion. If this price is not enough, we can only look at other equipment, because we have inquired before about the reason why the Neutron Battle Star is so popular Low, not because he is not strong but because his price/performance ratio is very low.”
"The neutron battle star purchased at the same price can only compete with the early eighth-order civilization, but with the same money, if we invest all of it in combat robots, then we can at least compete with the middle or late eighth-order civilization."
When Tai Lung heard this, he immediately said.
"I say bosses, you don't understand the whole thing. Although the robot purchased at this price can indeed achieve the effect you said, when people tell you about this, they obviously don't. Consider a premise.”
"That's the rate at which robots wear out. To put it bluntly, even if you buy enough robots to fight against your enemies, what's the use?
Can you ensure that you kill the enemy the first time you send troops? Obviously you can't guarantee that.
If the enemy is not killed the first time you send out troops, do you think your remaining robots have a chance of winning the second time they fight the enemy at full status? ”
"So once you purchase a robot, it means that every time you fight an enemy, you need to spend some money to purchase a certain amount of robots."
"Let me tell you that I am one of the three major robot sellers in this consortium. I understand all the twists and turns in this robot transaction."
"Although our neutron battle star is a little more expensive than the robot, it can still be used after a little repair after the robot war. Even sometimes the injuries are relatively minor and don't need to be deliberately done. To repair, just wait for him to repair himself.”
"If the robot you are using encounters some special circumstances, your robot may be lured away and then destroyed one by one, but with this thing you don't have to worry about this problem.
Because it is a whole, it is impossible for the formation to be broken up by the enemy or to be directly cleared by a large-scale clearing skill. The large number of robots will lead to a crazy decline in combat power. ”
"Okay, I think all the bosses are happy to say 95 billion. This is my final bottom line. If the order is lower, I really can't do it. After all, we can't work in vain. The price I gave you is In fact, I received a little hard work fee.”
After some haggling, the players lowered the price by another 5 billion. In the end, the two parties signed a contract for this neutron battle star at a price of 90 billion. According to the content of the contract, players need to pay a deposit of 9 billion at the beginning of signing the contract, and one year after the start of construction, the other party's progress must reach more than 10%, and after reaching this, the players need to pay 10 billion funds.
In the next nine years, Tyrone must complete 10% of the construction progress every year, and players must pay 9 billion in funds every year.
This approach is naturally acceptable to both parties. First of all, for the players, if you ask them to spend 90 billion immediately, they won't be able to come up with it. By handing over a little every year in this way, they can still come up with it.
For them, the worst they can do is just work harder in the past few years, and then they can do a little bit of work on developing military units.
For Tailong, this plan is also the most suitable one.
Because if you ask him to put in his own money, he definitely doesn’t have that much money to throw into it.
After all, even if he only pays the cost, it is not a small amount, and players continue to transfer funds to him in this way, so he does not need to worry about materials after construction starts.
At the same time, its risks are also minimized.
What he wanted to do with this order was that if it didn't work out, he would go to Star City to borrow part of the funds to use as early-stage material funds, and he would repay the borrowed money after the players settled the payment in the later stage.
But this will cost a lot of interest, transaction fees, and other miscellaneous expenses. In the end, he may not make much money.
And now that the players have agreed to this transaction method, the interest fees can be saved. After excluding the taxes and costs deducted by Xincheng, he made a preliminary estimate of this wave, and he got at least about 40 billion.
The amount of funds is an astronomical sum for him.
After all, a day ago he was a poor man with only tens of millions of dollars in his hands, but now he has taken a big order of 90 billion, and he now has 1 billion in capital.
Tai Lung couldn't help but be excited when he saw this.
But when he thought that the dead bastard was going to take a big part of it, he suddenly felt unhappy.
"Of the 40 billion, I can only take 16 billion, and the remaining 24 billion belongs to that old bastard!"
"Damn it! It's so abominable!"
"What's so hateful about this." At this moment, Kui's voice came over.
"Old man, if you think about it this way, do you think he could have done it without me?"
"Although it seems on the surface that you have to contribute to this matter, have you ever thought about it, if I hadn't convinced them to buy something with low cost performance and unclear market price in the early stage, do you think we could have earned so much? ?”
"I'm not inducing them. I bet that those people will definitely go to your competitors and place crazy orders to buy combat robots. By then, let alone the 16 billion, you won't even make a cent. , and then again, I don’t want to contribute to this matter, and my scales will not be used to strengthen the defense and attack power of the Neutron Battle Star.”
"Without my scales, you would be dreaming with your little bit of technology to create a neutron battle star that can compete with the eighth-level peak starry sky beast."
"Just put a few scales on it and you'll be able to exert strength. Your strength is very light. Who doesn't know that you can stretch out thousands of scales on your own every year?"
"That can't be said. You have to understand that I can generate so much every year, but this requires energy consumption, and you think one layer of scales is enough. Let me tell you the truth, I roughly estimated this thing. My son needs to be wrapped in at least ten to twenty layers, otherwise, the strength is simply not enough.”
"Ten or twenty floors? Old bastard, you really have the nerve to say that."
"How big is a neutron battle star? It's only about ten kilometers in diameter, which is not as big as one of your scales."
"Ten or twenty floors sounds nice, but in actual calculation the cost is only a million at most, a mere million. You are talking as if you have paid billions in costs."
"I don't want to say that. The scales I paid for are the special scales on my body, the ones you can't afford. After all, my opponent is a starry sky beast at the eighth level. Do you think you can just buy it for a poor scrap like you?" Can those scales withstand the trouble? ”
"I'm telling you, if you don't have these special scales on my body, you are nothing."
"It will take at least 10 years to recover these special scales on my body, and it will consume a lot of energy every year."
If the two of them ended up in various disputes like this, although they didn't want to, the contract was signed, and Tyrone Civilization would not be allowed to regret it, so Tyrone Civilization entered the construction stage of the Neutron Battle Star.
However, compared to Old Turtle, the Tyrone civilization is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The production of neutron battle stars is indeed very serious, but a frugal housekeeper like him still has many working robots for manufacturing neutron battle stars, and this Some of the work droids are left over from the last time a neutron battle star was built.
If these things continue to be kept here, to put it bluntly, they are scrap metal, but now he can just use them, and then he has left a lot of other materials needed to make neutron battle stars last time, and he has left a lot of them. In addition to adding these materials, I can buy some materials to supplement them.
As for neutron stars, he had paid attention to the locations of many neutron stars before and knew that neutron stars in several places were unowned, so he decided to go there and buy one for free.
After such a wave of operations, he estimated that he would only need to spend at most about 10 billion in material costs to complete this matter.
In other words, with a budget of 50 billion, he can at least come up with 40 billion, plus an additional 16 billion.
"This wave of joy"
"I made a wise decision at the time. I didn't recycle the excess materials after making that neutron battle star. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to make so much money this time."
Of course, he has made so much this time, and the main reason why he is arguing with the old turtle is because he agreed too readily just to be on the safe side. The old turtle must know that there is something fishy. If the old turtle finds out, what if? What should I do if I want to get a piece of the pie again?
So if I didn't complain about this matter at all, that old bastard would definitely be suspicious. But if I complain like this now, then that old bastard wouldn't suspect that I might have another Xiao Jiujiu.
