Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

"I want a GEO satellite. How much does it cost?"

It had only been a short while since Bai Zhen sent the message.

He had just picked up the egg tart on the table when Daigo called him via video.

Bai Zhen answered the video and saw obvious fatigue on Daigo's face on the other end of the video.

Daigo is currently in a room filled with a large amount of documents.

It seems that Daigo has been very busy during this period.

When the video was connected, Daigo asked directly: "Are you planning to launch a satellite over there?"

"Yes, it would be best if it could be a GEO satellite that integrates communication, navigation, mapping and other functions. How much would such a satellite cost?"

"This is really too broad. If you only build one satellite like this and buy all the materials and equipment, not counting the launch cost, the cost of a satellite would be more than 20 billion."

Bai Zhen easily understood what Daigo meant. He asked, "Do you have any way to reduce costs?"

"Of course there is a way. The question is whether you plan to invest alone or find someone to join you."

“The initial investment is too high. I’ve been to space and found that this planet is five times larger than our own. Even if we launch a GEO satellite, theoretically at least 13 satellites are needed, which is an investment of tens of billions of dollars.”

“If you find someone, the cost of a satellite, not counting the launch cost, can be reduced to about 200 million.”

"Can it be reduced so much?" Bai Zhen still couldn't believe it.

How did the cost of 20 billion yuan suddenly decrease to 2 million yuan?

Daigo explained: "The cost of a satellite includes many aspects, such as research cost, design cost, outsourcing cost, experimental cost, labor cost, etc., among which research cost accounts for the largest part. If you plan to build it together, many costs can be reduced."

"Even if that's the case, this cost reduction is too big, isn't it?"

Daigo counted the costs and said, "A rocket and satellite consist of many parts. Our company has cooperated with the Green Ridge Space Center. At least 80% of the parts of rockets and satellites, such as engines and fairings, can be built by our companies.

I'm investing in technology, so I won't charge you for the research costs. As for other things that our company can't do, such as communication systems and tracking systems, you also have people who can provide the technology."

Bai Zhen asked curiously: "Who can do it?"

"Have you forgotten that Nimo's family makes mobile phones? Their communication technology is one of the best in the world. If you get their technology as a shareholder, a satellite you launch can support millions of people using communications at the same time.

As for tracking systems, you can go to Zhulan. As far as I know, Zhulan acquired a company that specializes in advanced GPS tracking systems in order to explore myths and history more easily and quickly. Moreover, many key technologies of the Galaxy team that you defeated some time ago were bought by the champion Zhulan.

With the resources and technology of these two people and the technology of our Dewen Company, we can help you solve more than 90% of the problems with rockets and satellites, and you don’t need to spend any real money for this part, you just need to give us shares. "

After Daigo said this, he realized that Takeran and Nemo had so many resources.

He asked, "What's missing from the remaining 10 percent?"

"We are still short of many things, but the most important thing is a factory. Our company can provide materials and key components, but we don't have a complete rocket and satellite assembly factory. Although I can spend a few hundred million to build a factory, there are other better options now."

Bai Zhen asked: "This better option has something to do with me? Do you want me to build a satellite factory in Yanhuo Village?"

Daigo mentioned this to me at this time, he must want to find a way to solve it myself.

"You can decide whether you want to build it in Yanhuo Village or on your island. But the key now is that you need to find Patch."

"Does Patch have a satellite factory?" Bai Zhen was very surprised. Could it be that Patch has a satellite factory under his name?

"Don't underestimate the deputy chief police inspector. The resources he controls are beyond the reach of even our Devon Company. Let's get back to the point. Police inspector Patch doesn't have a satellite factory under his command, but he is preparing to auction off a batch of equipment for building satellites."

"This is too much of a coincidence." Bai Zhen felt that the coincidence was a bit too much.

"It's such a coincidence, that's why I called you so anxiously. You should have seen the news some time ago. He led the Explosive Dragon to eliminate an evil organization, and this evil organization had such a satellite factory under its name.

Patch contacted our Devon company a week ago and asked if we were willing to acquire this satellite factory. We declined his offer because our business has a cooperative relationship with the Space Center.

He should be auctioning off this factory and its equipment at this time. Few people would buy these unpopular equipment. If you go to him now, you should be able to buy them for only tens of millions."

"I'll send him a message now."

Bai Zhen did not delay and sent a message directly to Patch, expressing his desire to buy second-hand construction equipment for those satellites.

There was no reply for a while, so Bai Zhen continued to talk to Daigo about the satellite and said, "Besides this satellite factory, do you need me to prepare anything else?"

Daigo thought for a moment and said, "That's all I can think of for now. Since you really plan to launch a satellite, I will just use the group that the four of us registered not long ago as the main body to start making arrangements."

A month or two ago, when Daigo and Takeran returned, they registered a group company called Xinghui.

Bai Zhen naturally holds 67% of the company's shares and has absolute control over the entire group.

This is not something that can be determined by how much money Daigo and others invest.

After all, the portal is in Bai Zhen's hands, and Bai Zhen has absolute control. He can easily decide who can enter and who cannot.

The remaining 33% of the group's shares were divided among Daigo and the other two, with each receiving 11%.

Now, under the operation of Daigo and Takeran, two subsidiaries of the group have started operation. These two companies are [Xinghui Biotechnology] and [Xinghui Materials Technology].

[Xinghui Biotechnology] This company was established to use the 'horn-heart tomatoes' on the farm to make medical drugs. In addition, the establishment of this company is mainly to explore monster genes and use these genetic technologies in the right way.

[Xinghui Materials Technology] This company aims to use monster materials to develop various new materials, create and produce innovative materials.

What the two Felynx, Aden and Are, are doing now includes material innovation.

Some time ago, they used the soft skin of a strange dragon to create a rubber-like substance, which was sent to a newly established materials technology company for testing and experiments.

According to the alliance's regulations, a group must have at least one parent company and five branches.

In addition to the two companies mentioned above, Daigo and Zhulan also helped to register three companies, namely [Xinghui Energy], [Xinghui Food] and [Xinghui Jewelry] respectively.

Now the subsidiary "Xinghui Aerospace Technology" has been added.

Star Energy mainly studies new energy sources in the Monster Hunter world. As these are two different worlds, there is a lot of room for research in the energy aspect.

The subsidiary company, Xinghui Food, mainly studies the special plants and foods that exist in the Monster Hunter world, as well as the sales and development of some advanced crops in Baizhen Richen Farm.

Of course, the establishment of Xinghui Food Company does not mean that the income of Richen Farm will decrease.

Richen Farm still belongs to Bai Zhen. The products grown on the farm will be sold to [Xinghui Food Company] at market price, and then this company will process and package the products for secondary sales.

By doing this, Bai Zhen can earn another income, which takes away the profits of retailers.

Finally, this jewelry company’s purpose is to find jewelry in the Monster Hunter world and then process and sell it.

When Bai Zhen opens a rock dragon ranch in the near future, the [Rock Dragon Tears] produced by the rock dragons can be sold directly to this jewelry company, and then processed and resold, so that Bai Zhen can earn a second sum of money.

As for why five companies have to be set up instead of just one company, the reasons are very simple. One is because of the limitation of business scope, and the other is that money is needed to acquire a company.

The business scope is the easiest to understand. It is impossible for a food company to produce medicine.

If Bai Zhen wanted to develop the horned tomato into a commercial product as quickly as possible, the fastest way for him was to acquire a company with pharmaceutical qualifications, and then use this company to produce new drugs and conduct clinical trials.

To this end, Daigo, Takeran and Neemo invested 30 billion Alliance Coins and 100% acquired a large pharmaceutical company located in Kanaz City in the Hoenn region, which had 5000 employees and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Of course, a company that can be acquired for 30 billion does not include the company's medical achievements. What people buy is the production qualifications and R&D capabilities of this pharmaceutical company, and they are interested in their equipment and researchers.

It is worth mentioning that the headquarters of Daigo’s Dewen Company is in Kanaz City.

With the help of champion Daigo and the alliance, it only took two months for the company to be renamed [Xinghui Biotechnology].

Half a month ago, Bai Zhen had sent some of the tomato extract to the company's research institute for the development of new drugs.

As for the subsidiary [Xinghui Materials Technology], Bai Zhen acquired a materials technology research institute in Zhuotai City with the help of Nimo and Patch.

This materials technology research institute was already on the verge of bankruptcy, but the group only spent 10 billion to acquire it along with its 10-story building.

The last one is the [Xinghui Group Headquarters]. As a group that will be involved in countless fields in the future, the group headquarters must not be too shabby.

Bai Zhen had trouble with Patch and Yeci for recommendations. After listening to Bai Zhen's needs, the two of them used their talents to help find many buildings. In the end, they chose a 44-story [Super Grade A] office building in Nianguang City.

The entire office building is 208 meters high, with an office area of ​​approximately 1800 square meters on each floor. The total construction area of ​​the entire building is over 10 square meters.

The outside of the building is all glass curtain walls, which looks very modern.

Although the entire Niaoguang City has a fixed population of only more than 50, it is a high-tech city in the Padia region after all. The land price is not low, and the entire building is worth 3 billion. At this stage, the three of them first rented it temporarily for million, and it will be time to spend money to buy it later when the company makes a profit.

Anyway, because of the investment from many champions, Ye Ci gave Bai Zhen a discount on the first year's rent. The rent for the first year is 3 million, and the rent will be increased back to 5 million in the next year.

Today, the three-person joint venture has spent 43 billion, and Bai Zhen has not paid a penny, but he still owns 67% of the shares of these companies.

This means that each of the three people took out about 15 billion to buy 11% of the shares.

This level of investment is actually nothing. After all, most companies established nowadays basically rely on Bai Zhen to provide technical support.

Biotechnology requires plants such as white real tomato and herbs.

Material technology requires the material plants created by Bai Zhen.

What Xinghui Food needs more are the super high-level plants in Bai Zhen’s hands.

Xinghui Jewelry Company also needs to rely on the Rock Dragon's Tears that Bai Zhen will provide in the future. Perhaps except for him, no one in the world can artificially increase the output and quality of Rock Dragon's Tears.

The only thing is that the new energy seems to have nothing to do with Bai Zhen now.

But if Bai Zhen took out the Thunder Jade, its terrifying energy density would be a dimensionality reduction blow to many existing storage batteries.

If in the future Bai Zhen can obtain the infinite energy core of the forbidden ancient dragon Dark Red Dragon and use that core to create a unique infinite energy plant, then Daigo's Dewen Company will also decline.

The three of them also expected that by joining forces with Bai Zhen to start a company, it would be absolutely possible to achieve an annual revenue of one trillion, so they are now investing so much money.

In the near future, they will continue to invest. The investment budget of each of the three is about 50 billion, and the total investment of the three is about 150 billion Alliance coins.

50 billion is nothing to Daigo and Nemo, as their families are well-off.

Although Takeran seems to be alone and her family background is not very wealthy, according to Daigo, as a champion, Takeran's personal wealth can reach tens of billions.

This is not surprising, as the champion is the person with the highest status in the world, even more terrifying than those singing stars in previous lives. Champions like them can earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions for just one advertisement.

Recall that the former champion of the Galar region, Mashid, purchased an island called Armor with an area of ​​500 square kilometers.

The area of ​​Kai Island is larger than Bai Zhen’s private island, and its price easily reaches tens of billions, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.
