Chapter 130 Payback Period

Han Yang had no intention of being a middleman and selling these goods bit by bit himself.

He directly negotiated with the big merchants on Mercury in a wholesale mode, and sold these goods directly in packages at low prices, just to make a profit from the freight.

All he wanted was the freight.

In this way, the speed of sales was very fast, and all the goods were sold in just a few days, and the unloading process began.

Before that, on Earth, Han Yang had already negotiated contracts with many factories and groups to sell a batch of mechanical creations and industrial products.

Under normal circumstances, these companies should have directly connected with the Mercury factory, and Fuxing No. 1 would only be responsible for transportation. But at this moment, under the situation that people generally lacked trust in the safety of Fuxing No. 1, Han Yang could only pay for the purchase himself, and then those companies would pay for the purchase after it was shipped to Earth.

In the final analysis, Han Yang still had to bear all the risks on himself.

In half a month, loading and unloading were completed. The Fuxing-1 spacecraft once again set sail with more than 100,000 tons of supplies, and in less than a month, it finally docked at the space port of the Dajiang Space Elevator.

From Earth to Pluto, then to Neptune, Mercury, and then to Earth, the total voyage was more than 15 billion kilometers, visiting four planets, and it took a total of more than 9 months. The Fuxing-1 spacecraft returned smoothly.

The company personnel who had been docked before were already waiting here. After confirming the entry into the port, they immediately entered the delivery process.

At the same time, the first flight review personnel of the Interstellar Transportation Committee also entered the Fuxing-1 spacecraft.

For this kind of long-distance interstellar transport ship, after obtaining the airworthiness certificate and making the first maiden voyage, the Interstellar Transportation Committee needs to conduct another re-inspection to confirm the condition of the spacecraft. After passing it again, it can be regarded as truly qualified for interstellar transportation.

Han Yang also came to the space port to welcome the return of the Fuxing-1 spacecraft from its maiden voyage, and shook hands with the reviewers warmly.

This scene was photographed by many media reporters who had been waiting in the space port.

Looking at at least dozens of media reporters, the flashes, and one of the reporters with the "Xingyao Media" badge, Han Yang secretly laughed in his heart.

"This Liu Fujun has been smearing me for a while, but it has brought popularity to the first flight of Fuxing No. 1. When the first flight is approved, won't Fuxing No. 1 be well-known? With popularity, won't the cargo business come? Speaking of which, I have to thank him very much."

During this period, Han Yang spent a huge amount of money to acquire three scrapped heavy cargo spacecraft, named Fuxing No. 2 to No. 4, with a cargo capacity of more than 100,000 tons.

After recruiting new people, the team has been completed. At this moment, the maintenance plan for these three spacecraft has been formulated. The fastest progressing spacecraft has begun the actual maintenance of the periphery and small scope.

With Han Yang's secret efforts, the so-called inexperience, poor cooperation, and negligence will certainly not happen.

Even a novice can be used as a mature hand.

The entire first flight review takes about three days. The reason why it took so little time was that the maiden flight audit only needed to test some key systems, and many details did not need to be taken care of.

Han Yang had been waiting at the space base for three days.

Three days later, the maiden flight auditors appeared. A large group of reporters immediately stepped forward and surrounded the place tightly.

The leading auditor took out the document, stamped it, and handed it to Han Yang. After that, he faced the reporters and said seriously: "After the review by the Interstellar Transportation Committee Review Committee, it is currently confirmed that the Fuxing No. 1 spacecraft is in good condition and suitable for long-distance interstellar transportation business. The review approval notice is hereby issued!"

Wow!

There were exclamations from the reporters.

Although the smooth return of the Fuxing No. 1 spacecraft almost meant that there were no major problems, the official confirmation at this moment, especially the words "in good condition and suitable for business" were said in person, the reporters still felt a little shocked.

These words, can they be said casually?

This is almost using the credibility of the Interstellar Transportation Committee to endorse Fuxing No. 1!

Looking at the shocked reporters, Han Yang smiled in his heart.

In order to get the auditor to say these words, he gave a full one million human coins.

Of course, this also requires that the condition of Fuxing No. 1 is really good. Otherwise, they dare not accept this money.

"Mr. Han, I look forward to your greater contribution to our civilization in the future."

The leading auditor shook hands with Han Yang. Han Yang also looked serious: "This is my wish."

The auditor left, and the reporters still refused to leave, but surrounded Han Yang again, asking all kinds of questions.

Han Yang said: "Thank you for your concern for our Fuxing Group. Since everyone is here, I will take this opportunity to hold a press conference."

"Mr. Han! How much is the maintenance cost of Fuxing No. 1 spacecraft?"

"Mr. Han, what goods did the spacecraft transport on its maiden voyage?"

"Mr. Han!"

Han Yang smiled and waved his hand down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said: "The purchase price of Fuxing No. 1 spacecraft is 720 million. The total repair price is about 2.89 billion, a total of 3.61 billion human coins."

Wow!

There was another exclamation from the reporters.

A brand new heavy cargo ship like Fuxing No. 1 costs about 7 billion. Now, Fuxing Group has such a ship at only half the cost!

Although the main performance of the ship has dropped to only about 80% of that of a brand new ship, it can still carry the goods. It's just a little slower and less comfortable, which is not a big deal.

Your brand new ship takes three months to reach Pluto. Can I do it in three and a half months? It doesn't matter.

"As for profitability, the gross profit from Earth to Pluto is about 800 million. From Pluto to Neptune and then to Mercury, the gross profit is about 600 million, and from Mercury to Earth, the gross profit is about 100 million.

The total gross profit is 1.5 billion, and the net profit has not been calculated yet, but it is estimated that the minimum will not be less than 40%, that is, the minimum will not be less than 600 million!"

Wow!

As soon as this number came out, all the reporters present were shocked again.

The life of a heavy cargo ship is calculated in hundreds of years.

According to the industry average, the payback period of a ship is about 15 years. Even if there is a Pluto development strategy now, the payback period will be about 10 years.

That is, the net profit per year is about 700 million.

This figure is roughly consistent with the current 600 million net profit of the Fuxing 1 spacecraft in nine months.

But the key is that the price of the Fuxing 1 spacecraft is only half of that of a normal spacecraft!

Doesn't this mean that it will only take about five years for the Fuxing 1 spacecraft to pay back?
