However, although he said he would run a few fewer trips, Fang Chen actually took this opportunity to run a few more trips.
This time when he returned, he directly used all 56 billion star yuan as capital to buy food. After returning this time, the profit was only 55%.
It was a little higher than he expected, and he thought he was going to fall more.
After all, Green Apple Star has now begun to produce its own food, although the output is not very high due to the fact that the planet has just been developed.
Without resting, he continued to return to the Tiangang Empire, using all the 86.8 billion star yuan he had accumulated as capital, and purchased a full 86.8 billion kilograms of grain in one go.
In the Tiangang Empire, the market price of rice is one star yuan per kilogram.
Of course, this is the cheapest old rice. The price of new rice and high-end grain is definitely not this price.
It's just that Qingpingxing is purchasing strategic grain reserves. The demand for grains is large. It doesn't matter how it tastes. Anyway, as long as the grains are edible.
One ton of rice is 1.25 cubic meters, and 86.8 billion kilograms is equal to 108.5 million cubic meters. It requires a very large transport ship with a total capacity of 200 million cubic meters to fill it.
However, the prices in this wave have dropped a lot, and the total profit is only 40% of the original. After all the sales, 121.5 billion star dollars were obtained.
Obviously, as Green Apple Star began to produce its own grain and a large amount of grain reserves were shipped, the price began to fall in accordance with market rules.
This is a normal market law. Fang Chen didn't say anything, but he was a little disappointed that he came late.
Next, Fang Chen continued to go shopping and bought grain without replacing other commodities.
There is no way, the supply of other commodities that can make more money is a problem. For ordinary people, the only bulk commodity trade that can be done is food.
Because there is an unwritten rule within human civilization that does not allow restrictions on food trade in the development of star areas.
If you don't have enough other supplies, you can work hard, but if you don't have food, you will die.
Of course, this does not mean that ordinary players can only trade food. They can also do other trades. There is no problem with small-scale trade, but they cannot do other large-scale trades.
Next, Fang Chen made three trips back and forth in one go, with each trip making less profit.
The profit fell to 25% in the first trip, and to 20% in the next two trips. According to Yue Quandu, Qingpingxing will continue to purchase reserve grains, but the price will be fixed at 20% and will not rise again. .
If you want to earn more, you can trade with other planets.
Several other planets in the star field, several large teams, and even those alien civilizations are short of food, so they can earn more by trading there.
but....
Fang Chen spread his hands and said:
"It's not necessary. The batch of grain I have accumulated has been sold for 77% to 88%. This is the last trip. I won't do this anymore."
Yue Quandu was slightly surprised. He opened his mouth to speak but hesitated, and finally remained silent.
Although he didn't say anything, Fang Chen guessed what he wanted to say.
In the last two trips, he had already felt that his behavior seemed to be being watched.
After all, it is normal to be targeted by other forces after continuous trade in a very short period of time.
It takes others more than four to five months to transport it from Tiangang Empire, and a round trip takes nearly a year. You only need one round trip in one month, which is too fast.
No one pays attention to you once or twice. If you keep going back and forth, some caring people will always pay attention to you.
So after completing the last transaction, Fang Chen decided not to do it.
Anyway, I made a lot of money during these trips.
With a capital of 121.5 billion star dollars, earning 25% in one trip is 1519.
After two more trades based on this, the revenue was 20%, respectively 182.28 billion star dollars and 218.736 billion star dollars.
After deducting the back and forth management relationship, there are still 216 billion star dollars left, and the total time is half a year.
At this time, Fang Chen had already built another destroyer and four frigates.
Including Ben, he now has 2 T5 destroyers and 8 T5 frigates.
In addition, the destroyer construction materials on hand have been used up, and there are still 6 frigate materials, as well as 2 T5 cruiser blueprints, 10 T5 destroyer blueprints, and 26 T5 frigate blueprints.
To be honest, there is no shortage of blueprints, but there is still a shortage of money.
Although there are more than 200 billion star dollars now, it is still not enough to spend if you really want to let go.
Not to mention battleships, we can't even build one, and even cruisers are not enough now.
If you want to build a cruiser, you must first need a shipyard. A new one costs 150 billion stars, an old one costs 80 billion, and an old and fast-aging shipyard like the one before costs more than 30 billion.
It is worth mentioning that the two frigates and destroyers in his hands are indeed quite old at the shipyard, and the chain dropped many times during the construction period, which seriously slowed down the construction speed.
And every time one is built, it needs to be maintained again, which requires a one-month interval, and the materials required for maintenance are very expensive.
Fang Chen is already considering selling it and buying a new one.
However, considering the limited funds on hand and other needs, Fang Chen finally decided to postpone the purchase of the cruiser dock. He first spent 25 billion star yuan to purchase 5 sets of frigate production lines, and 40 billion star yuan to purchase two sets of new destroyers. production line.
As for the old ones, they were sold at a discount and only got back 4 billion.
In addition, construction materials for 26 frigates were purchased at a price of 400 million yuan per set, spending a total of 10.4 billion star yuan.
The construction materials for 10 destroyers were purchased at a price of 3.96 billion star yuan per set, and a total of 39.6 billion star yuan was spent.
The cruiser construction materials were not purchased. In addition to lack of money, the main reason was that there was no shipyard, so it was useless to buy them.
With 105 billion star yuan remaining, Fang Chen purchased 1 Dushen-class super-large transport ship at a price of 30 billion star yuan each, and 5 large transport ships at a price of 3 billion star yuan each. He purchased a very large industrial ship and two large industrial ships at a price of 3 billion star yuan each.
In addition, a total of 100 trailer cargo bays with a single capacity of up to 20 million square meters were purchased at a price of 100 million star yuan each, which can be used to store goods.
This time, 91 billion star yuan was used up.
Then, five large mining ships were purchased at a unit price of 1.5 billion, totaling 7.5 billion star yuan.
The large mining ship has 16 unmanned reconnaissance drones, 60 unmanned mining robots, 36 self-defense robots, 10,000 cargo holds, and a total capacity of 10 million.
After completing these purchases, Fang Chen spent more than half a year earning more than 200 billion star yuan, and suddenly only 6.5 billion star yuan was left, and it was all gone in an instant.
However, the expenditure of so much money was not in vain. He basically completed a complete set of necessary equipment for the base. In theory, with these things in hand, he could go out and start his own business.
Fang Chen couldn't wait to wait, so he set off again after only two days and returned to explore the star field.
