Early the next morning, Chen Wenjie, the captain of the No. 33 merchant ship who delivered the beef to Colonel Kedham, had already returned to Zhongzhou Star with the collected information and the news of Tang Long and the others. At this moment, while waiting for the 100 selected transport ships to be refitted, he is participating in the caravan captain training course specially prepared for him by Yuna's beautiful bosses.
Liu Dong also packed his bank card early, and rushed towards the Royal Law Firm with a few subordinates. At this moment, he was suffocating in his heart, because he saw a few brothers who went to buy galaxy maps and commodity price lists last night, were praised by the lord, and even got the honor of being poured by the lord himself . So I secretly decided that I must get things done early, and I have to let the lord praise me and show my face among my brothers.
And Wen Tao also brought 10 men assigned to him to the bad land early, and began to supervise the whole process. He took a lot of things with him, and he brought a big bag full of all kinds of data cards, and he was going to supervise the work and study. He knows his background, although he has received certain training in intelligence collection, analysis and classification, but now he not only wants to collect intelligence, but also to build a stronghold here. Also, I heard from my lord that in at least a week, 100 transport ships will arrive from Zhongzhou Star. I want to cooperate with this caravan to occupy the market of Starfish and stabilize the trade routes. Moreover, I have to place spy satellites on the other 14 planets of the Underworld Federation, set up an intelligence network, and win over contacts. How can I complete these tasks if I have little knowledge? Ah, what's more, I'm going to contact the Royal Law Firm later, and I'm going to invite Colonel Kedham to dinner at noon. Well, you have to think carefully about what gift you should give.
As for Philly? She had already come to the hotel to have breakfast with Tang Feili. Although her eyes were red from not sleeping all night, her expression was full of energy. Feili remembered that she had just been admitted to the lawyer's license and was preparing for the interview materials of the Royal Law Firm. Only then did she not feel sleepy after working all night like now. Fei Li patted the thick stack of data cards in the briefcase beside her, showing a happy expression. In any case, I am now a real lawyer, and I can foresee that there will be many, many busy days like this in the future.
"Good morning." Putting on the suit Tang Liwen bought, Tang Long, who was walking towards Tang Liwen and the others, greeted with a smile.
"Brother, wake up, try this pastry, it's delicious." Tang Liwen happily took a piece of pastry and put it on Tang Long's plate.
"Morning boss." Fei Li greeted Tang Long. It seemed that Fei Li already regarded Tang Long as her boss.
Seeing the red eyes under Feili's gold-rimmed glasses, Tang Long couldn't help but said with concern: "Have you stayed up late? Be careful in the future, and don't damage your body."
Hearing Tang Long's concern, Fei Li felt warm in her heart and blushed. Of course, in order to get rid of this feeling that made her heart beat faster, she hurriedly said: "Boss, I investigated the business situation of Minghai Federation and found that the rise in meat prices in Minghai Federation was artificially manipulated. Several large trading companies deliberately Reduce the quantity of shipments, and at the same time suppress foreign goods merchants. Either squeeze foreign goods merchants out of the country, or force foreign goods merchants to sell their goods at low prices. And the price of the material coordination department is too low, so I think the direct It is best to sell meat products to those trading companies. Because all butchers are controlled by those companies, it is impossible for them to buy your goods."
"Material Coordination Department? What is the price given by this department? Tell me about the market price and the purchase price of those meat products companies." Tang Long said with a frown. He didn't expect that the rise in meat prices was artificial. I thought it was due to insufficient supply of meat products, but now I dare to say that several big companies have hoarded a large amount of supplies and sold them bit by bit.
Fei Li said without thinking: "Take beef as an example, the market price is 100 grams of 16 Yuan Wulai coins..." But Tang Long interrupted her.
"16 yuan for 100 grams?! Eat blue gold?" Tang Long shouted in surprise, but Tang Long shut up immediately after shouting, he didn't want people to know that the price was sky-high.
Fei Li said proudly, "The residents of our starfish have a high income." After speaking, he continued the report just now: "The purchase price of those companies is 8 yuan for 100 grams, while the purchase price of the material coordination department is 4 yuan."
"4 yuan? No wonder the material coordination department can't buy materials to lower the price. What does their coordination department do? Won't they raise the price and grab supplies from big companies? Or sue these companies for disrupting financial order and seal them up. Isn't there nothing?" Tang Long shook his head, even if the price is 4 yuan lower than the market price, it is twice as high as the government's purchase price, and those merchants who can't sell the goods will of course sell the goods directly to big companies instead of government.
Feili sighed helplessly: "Well, it's not that the government doesn't want to raise the price, but the Material Coordination Department doesn't have much funds at all. The 4 yuan for 100 grams was allocated by the parliament because of public protests. At the beginning, the Material Coordination Department purchased The price is 2 yuan. It is not that the government has sued these companies, but the court ruled that the government must not interfere with the freedom of trade, and the law cannot deal with them.”
Tang Liwen, who had been concentrating on eliminating pastries until now, did not hear clearly what Fei Li and Tang Long said, and said to Fei Li, "Sister Fei Li, do you buy meat by 100 grams? We do it by the catty." Let's figure it out." Tang Long immediately cried out in his heart, forgetting that there was Tang Liwen next to him who didn't understand anything, so he could only pray that she would not know the price of meat.
"By catty? 500 grams per catty, Miss Tang, how much is a catty of beef?" Fei Li asked with great interest.
"Ordinary ones cost 1 yuan per catty, better ones cost 2 yuan per catty, and high-quality ones cost 10 yuan per catty, and they haven't been sold in the market yet! They are all for export, and ordinary people can't buy them at all. I heard that The highest grade beef can be sold for 20,000 yuan per catty." Tang Liwen said casually.
Tang Long, who had an ugly face because the details were known, immediately said to Tang Liwen: "How did you know? Have you ever bought vegetables?" He was going to hope that he would interrupt so that Fei Li could not hear clearly.
"Hmph, although Liwen has never bought vegetables, but Liwen has helped Sister Yuna sort out the information." Tang Liwen was very unhappy at Tang Long's surprise. Didn't her brother's expression clearly say that Liwen would not go shopping for vegetables? Hmph, Liwen must learn how to buy vegetables.
"Would you use Wulai coins?" Fei Li, who was stunned by the cheap price of beef, asked Tang Liwen again in disbelief.
"Of course it's Wulai coins. Otherwise, what currency do you use for the transaction?" Tang Liwen nodded and said.
Fei Li suddenly turned her head to look at Tang Long and asked, "Boss, what grade are those 99 meat products? How many are there?"
Knowing that there was no other way, Tang Long shrugged helplessly and said, "They are all second-class goods, that is, the 'better' kind that Liwen said. A total of 20 shipments of frozen fish with 2 million tons and 10 shipments of frozen mutton with 1 million tons were shipped in." tons, 20 ships of 2 million tons of frozen chicken and duck, 20 ships of 2 million tons of frozen pork, and 29 ships of 2.9 million tons of frozen beef.”
Hearing the data reported by Tang Long, Feili took out the calculator with lightning-fast movements, and then began to calculate: "One ton is equal to 1 million grams. It is sold at the government's lowest price. One ton can be sold for 4 million. 10,000 tons can be sold for 400 billion." At this point, Feili suddenly raised her head and shouted to Tang Long: "Boss! Your 29 ships of frozen beef alone can sell for nearly 12 trillion!"
Tang Long's jaw dropped immediately, although he realized that he could make a fortune after hearing that the market price of Ming Haixing beef was actually 16 yuan per 100 grams. But I didn't expect that the government department who sold it to the government department at the lowest price of 4 yuan per 100 grams could sell 12 trillion yuan of beef alone! Although Tang Long didn't care much about money, he still felt his heart beating faster.
Tang Long swallowed his saliva and asked hesitantly: "There is no mistake in the calculation? It can't be that many, right?"
Fei Li, who was desperately typing on the computer, said without raising her head, "How can there be a wrong calculation? The boss can sell all the goods at a price of more than 40 trillion yuan this time. If it is not sold to the government, but to For those big companies, it will exceed 80 trillion yuan. Well, after deducting the purchase cost of the boss..." Speaking of this, Fei Li asked Tang Long: "Boss, what is your cost price?"
Tang Long blinked and said, "The shipping cost is 10 yuan per ton."
"Uh, what about the cost of meat products?" Fei Li asked again after being stunned for a moment.
"It's like 10,000 yuan per ton, and most of them are produced on my farm, without any money." Tang Long said after thinking for a while.
"Ten thousand per ton? Oh, my God! That is to say, how much money will you earn this time?" Fei Li asked in surprise.
"Well, it should be like this." Tang Long nodded.
"Uh, I don't know who the boss is going to sell to? But I can tell the boss that those companies definitely don't have that much money to buy your goods. Together, they have hoarded more than 100,000 tons of meat products." Philly said.
"Huh? Why is your company so small?" Tang Long asked curiously.
Fei Li sighed: "It's still young, each of their companies has hundreds of billions of funds! It's a pity that the goods you brought are enough to feed the entire starfish for a year. According to the output of these materials, I'm afraid you need A planetary farm can produce it."
Tang Long nodded. Zhongzhou Star is indeed a planetary farm. There is almost no heavy industry on the entire planet, all of which are animal husbandry and fish farming. It seems that Yuna has to build the factories snatched from the Red Lion, but Yuna should already be busy with this matter, right? Hehe, 100 billion assets is regarded as a big company, so isn't Chen Kang's company that can produce thousands of warships a super big company in the universe
Thinking of this, Tang Long was shocked. According to Chen Kang, his company was newly established, but when he bought the warship from him, he almost never heard him say the time needed to manufacture the warship, but only said how many days it would take to ship it. Come. Doesn't this mean that his company has many warships, or that their company has the ability to produce thousands of warships a year? Would such a company be new? And will the arms companies demand control of your economy? Feeling this, Tang Long's doubts about Chen Kang further deepened.
"Boss, haven't you said who you want to sell it to?" Fei Li asked again seeing Tang Long in a daze.
Tang Long was awakened and asked curiously: "Since those companies didn't come to buy so many, they can only sell to the government, but does the government have so much money?"
Feili smiled beautifully. She smiled and said to Tang Long: "Boss, don't you know that the Minghai Federation is the richest country in the Wuchao galaxy? With funds of five or sixty trillion yuan, the Material Coordination Department is still It can be taken out. It’s not that the government has no way to deal with those companies, but the government is afraid of being pushed down for the crime of participating in commercial activities, so it didn’t act!”
Hearing this, Tang Long froze for a moment, and secretly scolded himself an idiot. Last time, Red Lion star couldn't take away more than 30 trillion yuan of funds, as well as the more than 20 trillion yuan of funds collected from the Tang family after occupying Zhongzhou star. These seemingly backward planets have tens of trillions of funds. Will a country like Ming Haixing, which is known to be a developed planet at first glance, have no money? No one will believe it if you kill it.
Just when Tang Long was about to say something in embarrassment, a middle-aged fat man walked towards Tang Long with a few burly men, but before he could get close, he was stopped by Tang Long's guards who stayed around to guard. The fat man didn't care, and opened his mouth and shouted: "Hey! Boss Tang, I'm the manager of Kami Company, and I have something to discuss with you!"
Tang Long glanced at Fei Li, and Fei Li immediately said, "One of those companies may be here to ask you to sell the goods to him."
Hearing this, Tang Long asked suddenly: "How much can their company eat from me?"
"Probably around 100,000 tons." Fei Li looked at Tang Long strangely. Could it be that he wanted to sell them in bulk
Tang Long signaled to the guards to let the fat man come over, and at the same time he said with a sinister smile to Fei Li: "I will sell him 100,000 tons for 8 yuan per 100 grams, and then I will sell them all to the government for 4 yuan per 100 grams. What will the government do then?" ? What will happen to their company?"
Fei Li's eyes lit up and she whispered excitedly: "The government will sell 100 grams for 5 yuan, and they will lose a lot!"
Tang Long nodded in satisfaction and said, "I will leave these tasks to you."
"Okay, I will never let you down, boss." After finishing speaking, Fei Li stood up, with a professional smile on her face, stretched out her hand to the fat man and said, "Hello, I am Boss Tang's personal lawyer, please feel free to contact me if you have anything to do." I said."
The fat man looked at Tang Long angrily, because Tang Long thought he didn't exist. However, having played in the business world, he certainly knows that this person is something he can't mess with. Not to mention that he brought 100 high-end transport ships with unknown cargo, and just spent 30 billion to buy a piece in the Commerce Department. You will know how powerful he is.
At the beginning, the businessmen really believed that Tang Long was a big winner, because no one would spend 30 billion to buy a piece of worthless land. But after hearing that Tang Long invested 200 billion to renovate that rotten land, he planned to turn this rotten land into a leisure zone. Everyone clicked their tongues. This guy is frighteningly rich, so don't mess with him. Even if he is a fool who is easy to deceive, don't deceive him, because he is a rich man, and when he knows that he has been deceived, he will definitely carry out terrorist revenge. As for why the merchants know? Will Gems not spread the word when he receives such a big deal
"Well, I heard from my friends in the army that Mr. Tang generously donated 100,000 tons of beef to improve their food. It just so happens that my company is a meat trader. I hope Mr. Tang can sell the meat products he owns this time. Give it to us, so that Mr. Tang can recover the funds quickly." The fat man said to Tang Long, it seemed that he still didn't want to discuss business with a lawyer.
Tang Long ignored him and just chatted with Tang Liwen, while Fei Li walked up to the fat man and said, "Of course my boss won't refuse this kind of quick recovery of funds, but we don't specialize in the meat trade, so After sending out 100,000 tons of beef, we are left with only 100,000 tons of beef products."
Fatty immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Fei Li's words. He was afraid that Tang Long's 100 spaceships were all loaded with meat products. If three of the 100,000-ton spaceships were loaded with meat products, it would be enough for him to These trading companies closed down. Now there are only 100,000 tons of meat products, which can be eaten completely. After thinking about it for a while, the fat man said, "How about we buy it at a price of 8 yuan per kilogram?"
Fei Li, who was smiling all over her face, immediately said with a serious face: "Are you bullying my boss is a foreigner? The purchase price you offered was 8 yuan per 100 grams, and our 100,000 tons of beef are all high-quality goods. It is much better than what you sell in the market now, and now you are selling it to you as ordinary beef, and you are already taking advantage! If you are not sincere, please don't waste our time."
Of course the fat man knew that the beef was top-grade, and he had already learned about it from the army, so he shook his hand and said, "No, no, we are really sincere, but we don't have so much money. After all, 100,000 tons is enough It takes 800 billion!"
"Don't have so much money? It's a joke. Each of your companies has hundreds of billions of assets. How can you not have so much money? And now the market supply is scarce. Not to mention other planets in the Federation of Underworld, this capital star alone is It can consume tens of thousands of tons. You can go to the bank for a loan, anyway, the money will be returned as soon as it changes hands." Fei Li deliberately implied that they went to the bank for a loan to buy beef.
The fat man hesitated for a while. It's not that his company has no money, but most of the funds were used up when absorbing meat products. It's not that they didn't take out a loan. Most of the money they borrowed was used to buy 50,000 tons of beef with the army for 4 yuan per 100 grams. If they want a loan now, they might have to mortgage their house.
Seeing that the fat man was hesitating, Tang Long said aloud, "Forget it, anyway, I'm going to give the beef to the government. If you really want it, I'll charge you 4 yuan per 100 grams." Li just wanted to open her mouth when she heard this, but she suddenly remembered that after absorbing so many meat products, those companies should have no money. If the price is not cheaper, they probably won't take out loans. So I changed my mind and said: "Oh, look at how generous my boss is. He sold it to you directly at the government purchase price, which is 400 billion. If you hesitate, my boss will directly give it to the government. Anyway, my boss I don't care about the hundreds of billions."
Fatty thought of the beef he bought from the army, he sold more than half of it in just one day, and sold it to butchers at a price of 10 yuan per 100 grams. He can see that he can make a lot of money in a short time . Bank loan? No problem, the last loan can be repaid in two or three days. Thinking of this, the fat man gritted his teeth and nodded and said, "Okay! Deal! Please give us 2... no, 3 hours to raise funds, and 3 hours later to pay for the money and deliver the goods!"
"No problem, the ship is parked at the space port. As soon as the money is paid, you can move it immediately. Then I will wait for you here for three hours." Tang Long got up and said.
"Thank you." Fatty thanked him and immediately turned around and left, running faster than his bodyguards.
At this moment, Tang Long asked Fei Li curiously: "Is your bank so efficient? Can you complete the review and pay the 400 billion loan in three hours?"
"We don't have a national bank. All the banks in the Underworld Federation are branches of the Universe Bank. Of course, the speed is fast." Fei Li laughed.
Tang Long nodded with that expression on his face. The universe bank, the largest in the universe, is the fastest among all banks for reviewing collateral and issuing loans. No wonder the fat man dared to say that it only took 3 hours.
After thinking for a while, Tang Long said, "Fei Li, please help me contact the Material Coordination Department, and tell me that I have tens of millions of tons of meat products, and I would like to sell them for 2 yuan per 100 grams."
Fei Li was taken aback when she heard that Tang Long himself lowered the price, but she quickly asked, "I don't know what you want from the government, boss?" sell away.
Tang Long said with a smile: "I am a businessman. In order to expand business routes, I need the galaxy map collected by the Minghai Federation Government, and tell them not to use the ones that can be bought on the street to perfuse me. Another one is to sign a trade contract with me. I promise that every week, one hundred merchant ships with a capacity of 100,000 tons will bring various vegetables and meat products to the Underworld Federation. The prices of these products will be left to you to discuss with the government.”
"Okay, I will try my best to help you get the best galaxy map on the Federation of the Underworld. As for the trade contract, I believe that once the government of the Underworld knows about it, it will eagerly sign a contract with you. After all, the Federation of the Underworld does not have any farms. This shouldn't be considered a condition, boss, won't you change it?" Fei Li smiled after thinking for a while.
"No need, anyway, I put forward these two conditions to make money." Tang Long shook his head, besides these two conditions, he really couldn't think of any other conditions.
"So I'm going to do it now?" Feili asked in a questioning tone.
"Well, the sooner the better, I'm impatient." Tang Long nodded.
Soon, Feili came back two hours after leaving. She picked up a cold drink and took a few sips before saying: "Boss, after knowing my purpose, the Material Coordination Department directly introduced me to the Prime Minister. And the Prime Minister heard I was very happy after I brought him the news, and promised to give you a copy of the latest galaxy map collected by the government immediately after signing the contract. The prime minister also asked me to tell you that they don’t want you to lose too much, and your goods are all It is high-quality goods, so I am going to use 50 trillion yuan to buy all your materials. Also, this is the transaction type and price list issued by the material coordination department. As long as you sign the contract, your company can trade at this price in the future Already." He said and handed Tang Long a magnetic card.
Although Tang Long felt that it was a bit of a fuss for a prime minister to deal with this matter, he didn't bother to take care of it. He nodded to Fei Li and said in satisfaction: "Well, well done, we will go there as soon as we buy the 100,000 tons of beef." Sign a contract with the Prime Minister." He took the magnetic card and put it in his arms without looking at it. Anyway, no matter how the Minghai Federal Government lowers the price, he will make money.
Fei Li understood the meaning of Tang Long's words very well, and nodded with a smile. But Tang Liwen had already been too bored, so she went to take a nap with Tang Long.
It didn't take long for Tang Long, who had completed the transactions with those companies, to sign a trade contract with the Minghai Federation Government. In addition to getting a precious galaxy map, he also got a tax-only deal for all transactions of the "Niu Niu Interstellar Trade Unlimited Company". 8% off. As for the meat products sold to the government, the price at which the government put them on the market is not Tang Long's concern. But Tang Long can be sure that those companies will go bankrupt soon.
That night everyone discussed whether to go back or continue trading. After thinking for a while, Tang Long said: "We don't have to worry that someone will find our home. Most of those who dare to come to our door will be beaten by us, so now is the time to start trading. As long as we become rich, we don’t have to be afraid of anyone at all! Let’s discuss how to make a decision.” Although no matter what to do, it is up to Tang Long, but Tang Long still believes that the best decision can only be made by gathering opinions.
Hearing Tang Long's words, everyone thought that the Tang family was destroyed, the vitality of the Caesar family was seriously injured, and the remaining three forces were unlikely to attack them. It can be said that now is the time for vigorous development, so they nodded in agreement. Judging from the performance of these vassals, Tang Long's efforts to gather public opinion could only be aborted.
Feli, who felt that the meeting was going on strangely, saw that everyone was silent, so she reminded: "Boss, the specialty of Starfish is high-tech electronic products. Products such as small computers and floating cars are common in other planets." It's a good sell."
"Yes, everyone will go shopping tomorrow, and anyone who likes it will buy it to load his merchant ships!" Tang Long, who has tens of trillions of funds in his card, said ostentatiously. As soon as Tang Liwen finished speaking, she jumped up excitedly, and the other big men in black also looked happy.
"Boss, I'm talking about trade purchases." Fei Li said eagerly, she thought Tang Long didn't understand her words.
"You don't understand this. I am a trade purchase. We shop with the mentality of ordinary people. If we like it and are willing to spend money on it, other people will also be willing to spend money on it. In this way, We won't get the goods that no one wants." Tang Long said, shaking his fingers.
"So that's the case." Feili nodded suddenly when she heard this. It seems that her boss really understands the psychology of customers.
Tang Long, who announced the end of the meeting, suddenly remembered something and stopped Fei Li and said, "Pack up your things. You don't know when you'll be back after leaving Ming Hai Xing in a few days."
Feili nodded, and began to think about what she needed to bring.
On the third day, Tang Long and his party, who spent a whole day yesterday to fill 99 merchant ships with various products, have already driven the merchant ship out of the atmosphere of Starfish.
Looking at the galaxy map of the Minghai Federal Government's version in the computer, Tang Long praised: "It is indeed the galaxy map collected by the richest country in the Wuchao galaxy, and they have collected one-fifth of the planet orientations of the entire Wuchao galaxy. One, amazing!" Having said this, Tang Long shook his head regretfully, because this map of galaxies is a commercial version, and the special products of each planet are introduced on it. It is of course a pity for Tang Long who is eager to get the military version.
Tang Liwen, who was lying on Tang Long's shoulder and watched the galaxy map, suddenly pointed to a corner of the galaxy map and asked, "Brother, what planet is that? Why are there no other planets around him?"
Looking along Tang Liwen's fingers, Tang Long found a small administrative star standing alone at the bottom left of the galaxy map. It can be concluded that there is no other planet in the star field of this planet except it and the stars. Why do you say that? Its location on the galaxy map is completely dark.
Seeing such a lonely planet, Tang Long immediately clicked on the planet with interest to check the information. I saw that the planet that was originally as big as a bean suddenly became the size of a football, and the name "Earth" appeared on the top of the planet.
