Chapter 326 Selling Steel
Nowadays, it is entirely because it is a science fiction group that all countries have to develop like space.
Just like the moon landing program and Star Wars in the last century, why each of them is rumored to be so magical is not due to the competition between the two major powers.
When someone leads the way, the entire earth will enter a high-level competition stage. Although each other will bring corresponding tension, we have to admit that it can also lead to rapid development of science and technology.
Ye Xuan did not veto the requests from various countries to purchase steel. After all, no one denies having too much money. If you don't make money if you have money, you are a complete fool.
The output of the first steel plant on the moon is not yet the maximum output. It is now only one-third at most. Even these can fully meet all the needs of the Science Fiction Group in outer space, so some machines are still idle there.
Well, now, since countries want to buy, they can sell it. At worst, other machines will be started, but the price needs to be discussed.
The outside of the earth is still under construction. The giant cross used as a support point in the Sky City was the first to start construction. Pieces of steel were put together. In the later stage, a huge ring was slowly formed around the cross. And this ring is equivalent to the ground of the earth.
After it is completely constructed, the earth's rotation will be simulated to form gravity, so that human life inside will not be much different from that on the earth.
At this time, the headquarters of Science Fiction Group welcomed a group of customers. They came from all over the world, and they all had their own aviation technology. Although some were terrible, they all came for the steel on the moon.
After the receptionist brought the group of people to the conference room, Ye Xuan arrived late.
As soon as he came in, Ye Xuan said apologetically: "Sorry, I have been busy with the construction of Sky City recently, so I am a little late. I apologize to everyone in advance."
After all, if you will become his customer in the future, you still have to give him enough face, otherwise how will you get the money by defrauding him.
Hearing Ye Xuan's apologetic words, the representatives from various countries below expressed that they were fine. They had also behaved like gentlemen just now.
After a few polite words, one of the representatives of the US imperialists got to the point directly and asked: "Mr. Ye, how much are you going to sell the steel materials at?"
Now that everyone had asked, Ye Xuan said with a smile: "Well, the steel produced by our group is an extremely hard alloy and very malleable. Even if it is sold on earth, it will be at least several times more expensive. "
After hearing Ye Xuan's words, it doesn't have to be so obvious to knock the bamboo pole.
What is harder and more malleable than the earth? Even if it is strong, how strong can it be? Another country couldn't help but ask: "What's the specific price?"
"Twenty thousand and one ton!"
"What!"
"What?"
As soon as Ye Xuan and others reported, the representatives from various countries below immediately exploded. Why don't you grab one hundred thousand and one ton? How much does international steel cost per ton now? Even in Chinese coins, it's only three or four thousand. .
It would be better for you to quote 20,000 yuan from the very beginning. This price will be increased by at least five times.
But soon, all the representatives calmed down. After all, this was a transaction in outer space, and there was only one other party. It was a seller's market, and it was normal for it to be a little more expensive. However, everyone was completely uneasy after the next sentence.
Ye Xuan continued: "The twenty thousand one ton I said is twenty thousand US dollars!"
"boom!"
The settlement with Chinese currency is at least five times. If you exchange it for US dollars, it will be directly doubled to more than thirty times. Can you have fun?
The polar bear representative frowned and said, "Mr. Ye, is your price too high? It's 20,000 US dollars per ton. Except for a few special steels that can reach such a price, what kind of steel is so expensive?"
"That's right, it's too expensive. At such a price, we really can't afford it."
"Mr. Ye, can you make it cheaper? Even if you spend 20,000 US dollars, it will be very difficult for us to use it."
Although this group of people really want to slap the table and leave, but there is only one company in the entire universe that has the strength to provide them just now. If they leave, I'm afraid they won't be able to explain themselves back to their home country.
"Is it expensive?" Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "You have to know that I am transported directly from the moon to the earth orbit you designated. The price is really not expensive."
"Also, if one ton of steel is sent from the earth to outer space, it will probably be several times more expensive. On this point, you can ask the American emperors, they have a deep understanding of this."
The American representative also smiled awkwardly when his name was called. During this period, many rockets were launched in order to join the space race. To be honest, if the steel is transported up, all the manpower, material and financial resources required will be added up. It's much more than the price given by Ye Xuan.
But it can't be calculated like this. They want to buy Ye Xuan's steel because they think it is expensive. Otherwise, who would come to buy it.
Seeing that the people below still wanted to continue to bargain, Ye Xuan immediately interrupted: "The price is this price and will not be changed. You can buy it or not!"
It’s a joke. He is the only one on the entire earth who can provide a large amount of steel in outer space. It is a complete monopoly. It is a seller’s market. Is it necessary to bargain with you?
Seeing that Ye Xuan said so decisively, the people below could not continue to bargain, so they could only ask: "Mr. Ye, I wonder if the robots, mechanical arms, and small transport aircraft you drive in outer space can be sold to us. Some, without these things, most countries would probably not be able to sell your steel."
In response, Ye Xuan nodded obviously.
Without these things, few countries would be able to operate in outer space. Unfortunately, most countries do not have the ability to do so.
For those countries that only have money left, they don’t have very strong technology, but if they have money, they can spend it to develop an outer space program of their own country.
Ye Xuan thought for a while and said: "I can sell robots driven by humans, as well as transport aircraft. As for the mechanical arms, it is impossible to sell them for the time being."
Hearing that the other party was willing to sell two things, his breathing became heavier.
Only with them and a certain amount of strength can it be possible to build a survival base in outer space that can accommodate a small number of people.
He asked hurriedly: "What about the price?"
"The cost of driving a robot is 20 million US dollars. It has the ability to work in outer space. Of course, it is perfectly fine to put it on the earth. However, this thing cannot be promoted on the earth for the time being, otherwise all countries will be waiting for collapse."
Regarding these, everyone here is not a fool. If the labor force is reduced, a large number of people will be unemployed. The word "collapse" is absolutely correct.
"As for the transport aircraft, let me start by saying that this thing is not a pioneer spacecraft. It does not have a long endurance and has relatively small power. It can only fly at short distances in outer space. One of them also costs 20 million US dollars."
"If there is a malfunction during normal use, our Sci-Fi Group will help repair it. If there are other circumstances, please don't come to us."
This sentence is very obvious, just don’t even think about taking it apart and looking at it.
Regarding the price given by Ye Xuan, it is expensive in a word!
The cost of the project, which was only half a million Chinese coins, suddenly changed to two thousand US dollars, a direct increase of dozens of times!
Call Ye Xuan black-hearted, this thing is much more advanced than now. What he sells is technology, and technology is priceless.
As for imitating it, don’t even think about it. These things are all technically locked. They can’t even study and understand the three-dimensional projector until now, let alone talk about these things. Use them honestly, otherwise one will cost 20 million yuan. It’s really hard to bear to scrap it at the price of US dollars.
