my son billions

At this dinner, he said nothing about the previous battle, not even about the unloaded slaves.Xu Chu put on the mask of hospitality again and entertained them with local delicacies.

He asked the little beetles to bring countless delicacies to the long table on the top floor of the nest like flowing water, and greeted the guests to enjoy them, while introducing with a smile on his face: "These fruits and vegetables are picked at the best time and washed immediately , Cooked in the simplest way, keeping the original taste of fresh vegetables.”

And the other people on the table stared dumbfounded at the black beetles the size of basketballs and their sharp forelimbs like sickles surrounding them. A fearsome behemoth that obeys its word.

Those giant beasts looked like obedient kittens in front of this person, with their paws closed and only meowing.But everyone looked at the other party's gentle and polite appearance, but they knew better than ever in their hearts. If the other party was really so harmless, how could it be possible to control those giant beasts outside?

This man—certainly was more terrifying than all the giant beasts combined.

At this time, the more friendly the other party behaves, the scarier it is for them.

So they couldn't say no to Xu Chu's hospitality, but they didn't even have the appetite to enjoy the food - only Fandral ate quite happily.

And Fitch has already shrunk himself into the chair, looking like he can jump on the table to avoid those scary-looking black beetles.Hearing Xu Chu's introduction, he cooperatively stuffed food into his mouth desperately, not wanting to annoy Xu Chu at all.

But who would have thought that the more he ate, the more beetles would serve him.Those little beetles hospitablely piled food around him, and one even stretched out its forelimb to touch Fitch very curiously, seeming to be quite satisfied with his appetite, but frightened Fitch almost to the point of being swallowed by his mouth. Choking on food.

Seeing this, Xu Chu felt amused in his heart.But then he waved his hand, and waved away all the little bugs surrounding Fei Qi.

"Please don't be nervous," Xu Chu said with a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, my little bugs' previous behavior of keeping customers may have caused you some unnecessary panic. But please believe that we are not malicious Yes. I sincerely hope to cooperate with you. If I have malicious intentions towards you and want to do something to you, wouldn’t it be easy now? Then tonight’s banquet will not be easy at all. There is no need to hold it."

O'Neal looked at the young man in front of him who was talking with mixed emotions. The other party's generous appearance at this time was completely different from the previous cautiousness.

He had seen the opponent being humiliated by the crew before, but he didn't fight back.He was still thinking at that time that this young man was either really good-tempered or too cowardly.It wasn't until now that he realized that the other party didn't take those people seriously at all.

But that's of course, until he was forced to land, O'Neill never thought that the young man in front of him was the owner of this terrifying planet-the status of the two sides was so disparate, his crew members were not included in this person's at all. in the eyes.

The world he saw was different from theirs.

After hearing what Xu Chu said, the others thought it made sense.

Now it is actually the worst situation, and their lives are in the hands of this seemingly gentle and harmless young man in front of them.That being the case, what do they have to fear?

Seeing everyone reminisce, Xu Chu controlled his expression and tried his best to smile at them.

If Xu Chu could control his zombie-like expression, his normal smile would still be contagious.

Under his comfort, everyone gradually relaxed their tension, and began to enjoy the delicious food in front of them.

Seeing this, Xu Chu beckoned again, and then a plate of fragrant meat steak was placed in front of everyone.

"Everyone, please try this pan-fried Quaker meat. This is a special product unique to our Quepenla. This kind of meat is very delicious, smooth and tender, and has a chewy texture."

While listening to Xu Chu's introduction, everyone tasted the delicacies in their mouths, and found that this kind of meat was just as the other party said, the meat was flexible and delicate, and it was more chewy than ordinary animal meat but it was not too difficult to chew. The sweet smell can make people eat many pieces without feeling tired.

O'Neill liked the texture of this meat very much, and he still didn't feel satisfied after eating three pieces in a row.

Seeing this, Xu Chu couldn't help but smile slightly.

"This kind of meat is easy to preserve, and the production cost is also low. It is very suitable for trading. So you say-if my meat is shipped outside, how much credit can I sell?"

Hearing this, O'Neill stopped what he was doing first, and then he looked up thoughtfully at Xu Chu, who had always been sure of winning, but always treated them with courtesy.His eyes slowly lit up, and finally realized what the other party wanted from them.

The most terrifying thing is not knowing what the other party wants. Once you have what the other party wants, the pair will have a bargaining chip, and they will finally no longer have to worry about their lives being threatened.

Wanting to understand this, O'Neill finally had the confidence to speak.He picked up the rough-made cup on the table and drank the juice in the cup. Taking this time, he sorted out the thoughts in his head.Then O'Neill put down the cup and said, "Where do you want to sell this meat?"

Seeing that Xu Chu just looked at her with clear eyes and didn't answer.O'Neill went on to say wittily:

"So for example, let's say we ship meat from Quippenla to Moremo. My fleet carries about 3 billion kegrams. In general -- I'm just using an analogy -- in general For the ordinary merchants we carry, the purchase price of meat on the agriculture star or animal husbandry star is 10 credits per kegram, which is 3w billion credits. But the depreciation, maintenance fees, labor and energy of my fleet for one year However, there are 500 trillion credit points. You can only make five trips a year, so the cost of each trip is 100 trillion credit points.”

Listening to the numbers that came out of O'Neill's mouth one by one, Xu Chu's eyebrows jumped.

"So your sales price must be maintained at 800 or 1000 credits per kegram in order to make a profit. But in general, considering the channel dealers, distributors, and distribution and transportation parts, the final sales price will often be lower Double. That is to say, in the hands of ordinary buyers, this kind of meat generally sells for [-] to [-] credits per kegram."

"And I estimate that your profit is only about 2-3%-I think this is the most-and on my side, I don't earn as much as you think. The 100 trillion in transportation fees , 1/3 of which is used to deduct the daily depreciation of the fleet, pay for daily maintenance and labor wages, and the other 2/3 all go into the pockets of energy suppliers.”

"That is to say, of the 800 to 1000 credit points that consumers end up paying, you can only earn 2 to 3 points, and I will not exceed 1 point at most-I can even earn nothing for you Transportation, as long as the cost can be maintained. Among them, the energy supplier is estimated to be able to extract 70% of it-this is the interstellar era."

O'Neill made a complex calculation problem for Xu Chu to answer Xu Chu's question, and analyzed the profit points and various costs for him.

Xu Chu, however, became more and more frightened as he listened to it. He never thought that the price of an item could increase by more than 100 times when it was sent outside—and he could only earn 2-3% of it. This was because he controlled the shipment. terminal transport.

而如果正常按照每凯格拉姆10信用点的批发价格，那么农业星的人最多只能赚取2-3个信用点——只有2-3‰的利润点。

In addition, those people on the agricultural planet have to risk being torn apart by those transport fleets at any time, turning into interstellar pirates, and then being captured and sold as black slaves.

The interstellar era is indeed an era of rampant robbers.

After obtaining enough information, Xu Chu still enthusiastically entertained them with food and drink, while he himself silently calculated without taste.

Of course, he can't let O'Neill's fleet work for him for nothing, otherwise this kind of cooperation will not last long-although he doesn't plan to cooperate with this kind of person for a long time, but now he only has this choice.

However, he does not plan to breed devouring worms for sale in Kuipenla——Quipenla only needs to provide Yula vines for breeding kazimo, and kazimo juice for neutralizing toxins does not need much. In other words, the fleet does not need to travel frequently between Kuipenla and Mormo.

And if the phagocytic worms can be grown directly at the place of sale, a large amount of transportation costs can be saved.But the problem is that often a planet cannot eat so much meat. After all, according to Xu Chu's experience, a planet has a population of only about 100 billion people, and no more than 1% of them can have this daily consumption capacity.There is no way for 3000 million people to quickly consume [-] billion Kegrams of meat.

Therefore, transportation through distribution channels is unavoidable.

But even so, his Quaker meat already has more room for price cuts than others.It's just that before he sold it, he still couldn't pay such a large amount of transportation costs.

After the dinner, Xu Chu led them to the big balcony.There, there are many small insects with shiny wings, flying in the air and playing the role of light source.

And this kind of brightness is enough for O'Neill and others to see clearly the contract that Xu Chu sent to their communicator.

"Although Moremo is remote, there are still a lot of markets around it. And if we can pass some of the transportation costs saved in the early stage to consumers, our Quaker meat will have a great competitive advantage. It is even very likely to occupy a large market share soon." Xu Chu described a bright future for the few people present as he spoke.

At this time, the word "we" used by Xu Chu also made Fitch and Leonard gradually realize Xu Chu's purpose.

"But—" Fitch hesitantly whispered, and then under Xu Chu's encouraging eyes, he continued, "Around Mormo, if you don't go through the wormhole, there are only fourteen nearby planets inhabited by intelligent life. Such a market , nor can it consume 3000 billion Kegrams of Quaker meat."

"That's right," Leonard said boldly, "we might as well transport the Quaker meat to Feinad, which is the nearest and largest trading planet, and also a bulk cargo transshipment hub. If we can find a suitable buyer there Home, we can really make a lot of money!"

Xu Chu heard that while smiling and nodding, he turned his head and said without any turning back, "I will sell them on these 14 planets. I want to open farms all over these 14 planets, and let the heads of all large mining companies buy shares. farms, and then get all the waste disposal rights to subsidize our freight costs.”

The 14 planets around Moore are almost all large mineral stars and industrial planets, which are related to the industrial chain here.These planets are producing a lot of waste all the time, and these wastes are Xu Chu's purpose.

Earning endless credits is meaningless to him.

And the operation of the farm requires a steady stream of waste.The purpose of all this is to provide Kuipenla with an unlimited amount of devouring worms.

The situation on Quepenla is very bad now.The size of his little bugs at this time, and the huge consumption caused by it, are exacerbating the famine here.

When Xu Chu thought of No. 3 crying weakly in his arms, he felt distressed.They are already consciously controlling their food intake, fearing that they will really eat up the planet.But being hungry for a long time is a kind of torture that can drive people crazy - Xu Chu feels the hunger that scratches his heart all the time, but he doesn't want his children to suffer the same pain as him .

For Xu Chu's insistence, everyone present was a little puzzled.But then Xu Chu began to appease them, "I have a way to dispose of those waste materials, and those waste disposal fees can become our net income. Isn't this more profitable than shipping Quick meat to Fernard?"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, especially Fitch and Leonard.They have been doing this kind of business before, and of course they know how attractive such a large processing fee is.It's just that they were able to directly landfill waste in Moremo at that time, entirely because they used the money to get through all the high-level officials of Moremo. In fact, not many actually fell into their hands.

But according to what Xu Chu said, the other party seemed to have a better way than them to deal with these wastes.And if it is really possible to save this large processing fee, even if only 1/10 of it can be kept, it is quite considerable.

What's more, the scale of the mining companies and machinery factories owned by those 14 planets is not comparable to that of Aedra.Even if the relationship is established during the period, it will be extremely difficult to connect with the person in charge of the other party, but as long as they can afford a high enough price, there is no relationship that cannot be established.

And once the first one is opened, then the roads are almost connected.

"And the first one is Edra." Xu Chu said, and finally glanced at Fei Qi with a smile.

Leonard, who was sitting on the rattan chair, bent his back almost grovelingly, and smiled flatteringly at Xu Chu: "Of course, of course! Everything is up to you."
