Han Yang had no intention of becoming a second-rate dealer and selling these goods bit by bit by himself.
He directly negotiated with large merchants on Mercury through wholesale mode, and packaged and sold these goods directly at low prices, as long as he could make a profit on shipping costs.
All he wanted was the freight.
In this way, the sales were very fast. In just a few days, all the items were sold 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 machinery and industrial products.
Under normal circumstances, these companies should be directly connected to the Mercury factory, and Fuxing-1 is only responsible for transportation. But at the moment, with people generally lacking trust in the safety of Fuxing-1, Han Yang can only purchase it with his own money and transport it to the earth, and those companies will then pay for it.
In the final analysis, Han Yang still has to bear all the risks on himself.
In half a month, loading and unloading were completed. The Fuxing-1 spacecraft was once again fully loaded with hundreds of thousands of tons of supplies, set sail, and in less than a month, finally docked at the space port of the Dajiang Space Elevator.
From the Earth to Pluto, then to Neptune, Mercury, and then to the Earth, the total journey was more than 15 billion kilometers, visiting four planets. It took a total of more than 9 months, and the Fuxing-1 spacecraft returned successfully.
The company personnel we contacted before are already waiting here. After confirming entry into the port, they immediately entered into the pick-up process.
At the same time, the first flight reviewers of the Interstellar Transportation Committee also entered the Fuxing-1 spacecraft.
After this kind of long-range interstellar transport ship obtains the airworthiness certificate and makes its first maiden voyage, the Interstellar Transport Committee needs to conduct another re-inspection to confirm the condition of the spacecraft. After passing it again, you will be 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 warmly with the auditors.
This scene was photographed by many media reporters who had been waiting in the space port.
Looking at at least dozens of media reporters, looking at the flashes of light, and looking at one of the reporters wearing a "Xingyao Media" badge, Han Yang was secretly amused.
"Liu Fujun, who has been slandering me during this period, has actually brought popularity to the maiden flight of Fuxing 1. Once the maiden flight is approved, won't Fuxing 1 have a reputation? With popularity, won't the cargo business come? Speaking of which, I would like to thank him very much."
During this period, Han Yang spent huge sums of money to acquire three scrapped heavy-duty cargo spaceships, named Fuxing 2 to 4 respectively, with a cargo capacity of more than 100,000 tons.
With new recruitment, the team has been completed. At this moment, maintenance plans for these three spacecraft have been launched. The spacecraft that has made the fastest progress has begun peripheral, small-scale actual repairs.
With Han Yang secretly contributing, of course nothing like so-called inexperience, poor cooperation, or negligence would happen.
Even a novice can use it as a mature user.
The entire first flight review takes almost three days. The reason why it takes such a short time is that the first flight audit only needs to detect some key systems and does not need to pay attention to many details.
In the past three days, Han Yang has been waiting here at the space base.
Three days later, the first flight reviewers showed up. A large group of reporters immediately stepped forward and surrounded the place tightly.
The leading reviewer took out the document, stamped it, and handed it to Han Yang. Afterwards, he faced reporters and said solemnly: "After review by the Interstellar Transportation Committee Review Committee, it is currently confirmed that the Fuxing-1 spacecraft is in good condition and suitable for long-distance interstellar transportation operations. We hereby issue an approval notice!"
Wow!
There were gasps of exclamation among the reporters.
Although the successful return of the Fuxing-1 spacecraft almost means that there is no big problem, but now it has been officially confirmed, especially when the words "in good condition and suitable for business" were said personally, reporters still feel a little bit Shock.
Can these words be spoken casually?
This is almost using the credibility of the Interstellar Transportation Committee to endorse Fuxing-1!
Looking at the shocked reporters, Han Yang smiled secretly in his heart.
In order for the reviewer to say these words, he gave away a full one million human coins.
Of course, this also requires Fuxing No. 1 to be in really good condition. Otherwise, they would not dare to accept the money.
"Mr. Han, I hope you can make greater contributions to our civilization in the future."
The leading auditor shook hands with Han Yang. Han Yang also looked serious: "This is my wish."
The reviewers left, but the reporters still refused to leave. Instead, they surrounded Han Yang again and asked various questions.
Han Yang said: "Thank you for your concern for our Fuxing Group. Everyone happens to be here, so I will take this opportunity to hold a press conference."
"Mr. Han! How much does it cost to repair the Fuxing-1 spacecraft?"
"Mr. Han, what cargo did the spaceship transport on its maiden voyage?"
"Mr. Han!"
Han Yang smiled and waved his hand down to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "The purchase price of the Fuxing-1 spacecraft is 720 million. The total repair price is about 2.89 billion, which is a total of 3.61 billion human coins."
Wow!
The reporters exclaimed again.
A brand-new heavy-duty cargo spacecraft like Fuxing-1 costs about 7 billion. But now, Fuxing Group owns such a spacecraft at only half the cost!
Although the main performance of the spaceship has dropped to about 80% of that of a brand-new spaceship, it can still pull the cargo. It is just a little slower and less comfortable, so it is harmless.
It takes three months for your brand-new spaceship to reach Pluto, but can it take three and a half months for me? It doesn't matter.
"In terms of profitability, from Earth to Pluto, the gross profit 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 lifespan of a heavy cargo spacecraft is measured in hundreds of years.
The industry average is that the payback period for a spacecraft is about 15 years. Even if there is a large-scale development strategy for Pluto, the payback period will still be about 10 years.
In other words, the annual net profit is about 700 million.
This figure is roughly consistent with the current nine-month net profit of the Fuxing-1 spacecraft of 600 million.
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 recover its costs?
