Merchant refers to a group of people who are engaged in commodity trading, goods exchange and transportation, so that commercial goods can flow widely and obtain benefits from it. (Pinyin of biqiwu)

Where there is interest, there are merchants.

Interstellar merchants, not much different from traditional merchants, are also a group of creatures pursuing interests.

The goods sold by the interstellar merchants are all-inclusive, and they can satisfy you whether they are physiological needs or spiritual needs for agricultural products, industrial products, knowledge-based, cultural and entertainment products.

As long as you have the "currency" in your hands.

However, interstellar merchants are different from traditional merchants.

Interstellar merchants have a wider range of goods transactions, more varieties, and greater distances, and most of them are bartering goods.

The Milky Way is too big, there are countless civilizations, it is impossible to achieve currency unification, and most of the currency is a financial product, and some are only circulation properties, not their actual value is very high-unless there is a strong civilization, Can provide credit guarantee for this currency.

So for the sake of insurance, bartering goods is the most common transaction method for most interstellar merchants.

Of course, in free trade stars such as the city of Thousand Stars, the role of the official currency "star coin" is still very huge. At least most of the goods of interstellar merchants accept the "star coin" currency and buy it at a suitable price. go.

Naturally, the issuance of "Star Coin" has enabled Thousand Star City officials to reap huge benefits every year.

So, for interstellar merchants, those goods are more valuable

There are four main categories.

One, knowledge and technical information.

There is no doubt that information, especially technical information, will always be the most popular goods for interstellar merchants.

Imagine that for the first-, second-, and third-level civilizations that are in the technical bottleneck period, if the technology bombs in the hands of interstellar merchants can help them to achieve civilization and achieve level upgrades and breakthroughs, these technology bombs, these civilizations, are willing to spend How much to buy

It is bound to be to smash the pot to sell the iron, dump all the things in the bag, and also buy it.

And the storage medium of technical data has the characteristics of small size, light weight, easy to carry, and unlimited sales. Once the transaction is successful, the return rate is extremely high, so it is the interstellar merchants who love to trade the goods.

However, higher civilizations do not want civilizations of the same technological level to increase in number and threaten their own status. Therefore, they have worked together to formulate strict restrictions on the flow of technical materials to lower-level civilizations and severely crack down on the trading of sensitive technical materials.

In particular, groups such as technical merchants are under the key monitoring of these civilizations.

Two, energy.

Before the perpetual motion machine was invented, the energy industry was a permanent industry, ranging from the “firewood” of ancient civilization, the “coal” and “oil” of modern civilization, to the “nuclear fuel” and “energy block” of the interstellar age ... … The energy industry, like human food, is in constant demand.

Three, "tangible" commodities such as grain, minerals, electromechanical equipment, arms and weapons, and spaceships.

Four, "invisible" spiritual commodities such as culture, film and television, games, and art.

These four categories contain everything a civilization needs.

Yunxinghe, who intends to switch from an "explorer" to an interstellar merchant for a while, will focus on the industry first, of course, only the energy industry.

Generally speaking, the higher the energy density, the higher the value.

Low energy density, such as the common hydrogen element, is distributed everywhere in the universe. Not to mention, the energy density is not high, and it takes up a large volume. The cargo spaceship powered by this kind of energy is a bit like a train in the steam age, half loaded on the car. Cargo, half loaded with coal.

The civilizations surrounding the city of Thousand Stars are mostly second-level civilizations and few third-level civilizations, so the Zerg energy core equivalent to the third-level energy block is very popular among these civilizations.

So Yunxinghe saw on the dynamic price panel of the Qianxing City Energy Trading Market: 1 standard volume of three-level energy blocks can be sold for 190 stars.

Honestly, at this price, Yunxing River feels a bit low. You need to know that a slap-like three-level energy nucleus contains enough energy to meet the electricity demand of a tens of billions of people in a class of civilization for one year, but the result can only be changed to flying No. 11 crew members, two or three days of living in the city of Thousand Stars.

This shows that the prices here are high.

Outside the city of Thousand Stars, the thousands of second-class spaceships suspended around can be known: these spaceships must be unable to bear the high daily expenses and have to choose to park outside the well-equipped space port.

But you can't eat a fat in one bite. Although the price of the third-level energy core is not as high as imagined, it is certain that the amount carried by the Feitian will make a big profit in the end.

Make up your mind, and then act separately.

The first is to rent a warehouse in the space port to store the goods, remove the two large containers hanging under the belly of the Feitian, and store them properly.

Yun Xinghe personally took Gu Fan and Du Xiaofan to find the Xing government. Using the two containers of energy cores as collateral, they easily borrowed a low-interest loan of 100,000 star coins, and then every 24 hours / 100 star coins. For the price, the warehouse was rented and the container was put in.

There is a warehouse.

The second is to set up a company.

Regarding "company", different civilizations have different civilizations, some are called "chambers of commerce", some are called "shops", and some are called "travelers" ... but the essence is the same, all are low-purchase High-selling commercial institutions.

So Lan Xiulong took Sukaru and Berekov to the Star City Department of Industry and Commerce, spent 1,000 star coins, and registered a "company".

The company name-Feitian Trading Co., Ltd. directly used the name of the spaceship.

So, the company also has.

Then in the prosperous city center, at a price of 500 stars / week, I rented a 180-square-meter office office. As an office location, Feitian Trading Co., Ltd. can basically carry out business.

As for the business, Luo Xin took charge of the female crew members Yun Qiaoqiao, Xiang Lan Meiqin, and Uehara Aika. The business pulling model was also very simple. Luo Xin was responsible for finding channels and advertising. Yun Qiaoqiao Three women, just sit in the office, Dangdang customer service, answer the phone.

Once a customer is interested in the goods and wants to see the goods, finally Xia Xingkong, the product consultant, will take the customer to the past, or check the quality of the "goods" to make the customer feel at ease and satisfied.

With such a whole arrangement, a small but full-fledged commerce company was set up in just two days.

The business was also in full swing.

In the company meeting room.

Yunxing River Road: "Luo Xin, all the remaining 80,000 star coins will be given to you. Put more advertisements on open-air advertising platforms, online platforms, and trading markets, to build the company's reputation, attract the attention of customers, and strive for a shorter time. Inside, sell most of the energy core. "

"Yes, Captain."

...

After a few days.

In the trade circles of the Thousand Stars City and the interstellar merchant circles, a newly emerged "Feitian Trading Co., Ltd." has attracted the attention of many businessmen who have a keen sense of business opportunities.

In all corners of the Star City, there were some discussions.

"I heard that this new trading company mainly deals in Zerg energy cores. In the trading market, they say that the quantity they can supply is more than 1 million pieces, all of which are high-grade energy cores."

"There are so many million people how they got it. It is estimated that the zergs on a planet must be destroyed. Only so many energy cores can be obtained."

"This is actually not too much. More than a dozen Class III civilized spaceships passing by can be bought. What they exaggerate is, in their tone," how much they want and how much they supply, don't worry about us being out of stock, let's take a look first. " The stars are not enough '... Isn't it a mockery that we have no money? Our interstellar merchants have private galaxies and private planets everywhere. They dare to question that there are not enough stars in our hands. I can't stand it. ! "

A fat interstellar businessman covered with various valuable beads was dissatisfied.

"I sent someone to inquire about it. The founder of this company was the civilization that came to the city of Thousand Stars for the first time. There was only a small and medium-sized spaceship, but he dared to say that ... typical arrogance. Never seen the world! "

"I feel that they only have 1 million cores at most ~ www.readwn.com ~ beyond this number, I can't get it out."

"Energy accounting is a relatively high-value cargo. You need to know that an advanced three-class civilized spaceship will cost 30 million stars."

"This type of energy core generally has only two uses, one is used as the core power source of high-speed spacecraft, and the other is used as a battery for high-power shipboard weapons ... But in peacetime, there is not much demand for such energy cores."

"I think it's still used a lot, at least our interstellar merchants, most of the spaceships use energy cores ... time is money, who runs the fastest, who makes more money."

"I plan to visit that company tomorrow. If there are really so many energy cores, I plan to start a batch. The Celestial Civilization is preparing for a war against the Zerg, recovering more than a dozen border-leading stars, tertiary energy cores , They need a lot. "

"So, I also plan to buy a batch ..."

One person raised his glass and pondered, as for the use, this is a trade secret.
