Chapter 722 Loan
Many electronic products were expensive and rare items in the past, but within a few years, they depreciated several times in value.
For example, mobile phones, which were flagships three years ago, are not even considered mid-range three years later.
What Alyssa found was similar to a floppy disk, and now SSDs are used. How much do you think the floppy disk is worth?
“From a historical perspective, it should be something that created the Pagan Religion, so it is a sacred relic.”
"Isn't this valuable?"
"It depends on the inventory. Not to mention that similar things are everywhere on the street. If you just find a reliable antique dealer, they can get you a container full of them. How valuable do you think this thing is?"
Are copper coins cultural relics?
Of course it is.
But is it worth it?
It’s really worthless, there are too many of them, flea markets are everywhere, not to mention there is an issue of authenticity.
"Considering that it is genuine and well-preserved, I will give you a friendly price. If you take it to other grocers, I'm afraid it won't even cost fifty gold coins."
Thea's quotation must be lower than the market value, otherwise she would not earn anything, but if it is low, it will certainly not be too low. If she always does this kind of business of picking up leaks, Thea will not be able to gain the trust of many recyclers. It is tantamount to destroying one's own job.
"But it activates a machine soul. Isn't that considered valuable?"
"Machine soul?"
This sentence aroused Thea's interest. She picked up the octagonal mechanical creation again, and looked at it more carefully this time, but it didn't last more than two minutes.
"It's just a startup code. There are many similar rune programmings. If what you say is true, I am willing to add twenty gold coins, no more."
“…..”
Alyssa's mental expectation was at least five thousand gold coins, but now it was just a fraction.
"How much do you know about the Cult of Creation?"
"If I don't come to the space station for three months, the situation will change drastically. In this environment, how can I have time to learn about history?"
Thea was not surprised by this answer. She shrugged and said: "The Cult of Creation was a very powerful force more than a thousand years ago. Even now there are remnants, but their main body has long been destroyed. Annihilated. But precisely because they were once very powerful and spread widely, there are many sacred creations related to them. I suggest you try not to collect such things in the future. If you like, keep them as ornaments in your bedroom. They are worthless. of."
There are really a lot of ornaments in Alyssa's bedroom. Ever since she became the captain, she has always said that there is a big business, but every harvest is judged as 'worthless'. The bedroom is almost full of such things. Stuffed.
This was one of the reasons why Carlos decided to rebel. This new captain didn't look like he could lead everyone to make money.
The things were worthless, but Alyssa had a plan B.
"I need money now. You also know the efficiency of banks. I wonder how the financing loans here are like?"
Thea rolled her eyes:
"I understand, you must have been kicked out by your men."
Alyssa almost spit out a mouthful of wine.
"If you had a starship in hand, it would be easier than me to find a bank loan. But if you don't, it means there is something wrong with your starship. It doesn't look like the starship was destroyed, so it can only be Kicked out by his men."
"It doesn't matter what the reason is, just tell me how much money you can lend me."
"My answer is, two thousand gold coins."
"So few?"
"Based on our past friendship, I am willing to lend these two thousand gold coins without interest and without any mortgage."
These words are simply giving Alyssa free money.
Her so-called friendship does not refer to her friendship with Alyssa, but her friendship with Alyssa's father and grandfather.
"Of course, I also have conditions. From now on, your products must be sold to me first."
"But it's too little..." "Your grandfather mortgaged everything to my grandma in exchange for two thousand gold coins, and got his current status. As his granddaughter, can't you? You just want to take it back A starship of your own, not a new one.”
"Stop attacking me with provocation."
"It doesn't matter, this is my quotation. If you are willing, I will write a check right away. If not..."
Thea pointed at the door with her chin:
"Freedom to come and go."
–‐‐——–‐‐——
As the saying goes, a penny can stump a hero. Of course, you can't do it without money.
Alyssa has lived on a starship as long as she can remember. She never thought that one day the starship would be taken away.
This is like the second generation of rich people. When the life they are accustomed to suddenly disappears, the psychological gap is difficult to accept. Even if they know that their lives were created by their parents, how many of them have the ability to do it again?
Regardless, Alyssa accepted Thea's proposal and left the grocery store with a check for two thousand gold coins.
Coupled with her own small treasury, in terms of start-up capital, she is actually richer than her grandfather back then, and her goals are far easier than her grandfather back then.
But it's still easier said than done.
Alyssa knew that it was impossible for everyone on the starship to rebel with Carlos. After all, when she was the captain, she was still very good to her subordinates. Besides, her grandfather and father’s remaining power was still there. As long as Alyssa showed up, she could Lead someone to strangle Carlos to death.
Here's the problem, she can't go back to the starship.
As mentioned before, the starship sails in the void. You must first find a way to lock its position, and then get closer. After entering, you must find someone loyal to you.
This process is not as easy as it sounds. Just getting close to the starship is difficult.
The first is where the starship is, the second is how to get close, and the last is calling people.
Alyssa cannot do these things by herself, she needs helpers, a lot of helpers.
Leaning against the porthole of the space station, Alyssa stared at the endless starry sky and sighed.
It is impossible to give up. The starship carries too many memories.
She needs time to sort out exactly what to do.
The gold coins on hand are definitely not enough to buy a new ship, and if you want to catch up with the starships, you must at least have a light cruiser with the ability to travel long distances.
This is the most basic.
And in terms of fighting ability, I can't say I can fight against the five scum, let alone fighting.
Fortunately, when Long was sleeping, her crystal ball head was carried by Alyssa. After a while, Long Waking up from her deep sleep to find her a new body was a helper.
Long is very good at fighting. After all, she is the sergeant major responsible for the combat troops on the starship, but she cannot rely on her alone.
Alyssa also had to find a way to find trustworthy helpers, at least a strike team.
As for where to find someone...
Alyssa scratched her hair irritably, and just at that moment, a shuttle flew past the porthole.
Alyssa didn't pay attention at first, but she immediately reacted and moved close to the glass of the porthole, her whole body pressed against it.
Because she recognized that the one that floated by just now was the Manta Ray.
It feels so fucked up...
