Astral Ants

Chapter 880 Things have changed

According to Xia Li's initial statement, Long Bai estimated that it and the Four Claws now controlled assets worth at least 1500 million Chaos Stones, and the amount was increasing at a rate of 500 million Chaos Stones every ten thousand years.

If they honestly followed the tribe's requirements, simply purchased materials and found a place to store them, there would definitely be no difficulty.

But if you want to make a profit by reselling, you can't make large purchases and sales, which will cause market fluctuations...

It looked like they were overwhelmed and couldn't make it.

...

"How to cooperate?"

Longbai was very interested in taking a look.

Xia Li said: "Captain Longbai, first of all, we need to figure out where the 'original crystals' circulating in the market within the Zerg civilization come from."

Sishu: "In theory, it can be exchanged for spot crystals, but the actual exchange rate is less than one in a million, which is almost negligible. The 'Crystals' and 'Chaos Stones' in the Star Network account are virtual currencies that guarantee the circulation of goods. They are controlled by the True God of Nature behind the scenes."

Xia Li: "Every ten thousand years, the tree-shaped clone of the True God of Nature will allocate the original crystal quota to the Liming Chamber of Commerce, the Lizhu Chamber of Commerce, and the Baijing Chamber of Commerce. These three level ten chambers of commerce will then distribute it down to the next level in the form of loans and subsidies."

"The tree-shaped clone of the True God of Nature has inherited some of the divinity. Through the star network, it collects information from the three major galaxy source points. With its super computing power, it estimates how much wealth the entire civilization will create in the next ten thousand years, and issues the corresponding amount of original crystals ten thousand years in advance for circulation. The additional original crystals have been circulated several times, and in disguise, they are mainly converted into the galaxy star network, and secondly subsidize public star ports, survival motherships and other facilities that promote the development of civilization."

Xia Li: "Under the rule of the True God of Nature, unless there is a major change, the prices of goods in the Zerg civilization will not rise or fall significantly. It is based on this point that Si Shu and I dare to take the tribe's funds and operate recklessly."

Sishu said: "Using large funds to manipulate prices will lead to sanctions from the True God of Nature. We don't have that ability, and we don't manipulate prices. We just follow the normal rise and fall of market prices and make a small profit from the price difference."

Long Bai moved his antennae and said, "Of course I understand all this, so I remind you not to play too big... Forget it, how can we cooperate?"

Xia Li said: "It's very simple. Chief Longbai, we will make an appointment to purchase materials from your Xianglan Chamber of Commerce or the Boshuwan Chamber of Commerce through our subordinate chambers of commerce."

Four Numbers: "Sign a purchase contract that lists the types of materials and unit prices, and pay the full amount in advance."

Xia Li: "For example, according to our statistics, the average price of 1303 type white vanadium in the Baxiang star system trade market in the past 3 years is 127583 raw crystals per ton. The contract is purchased at this price, which is equivalent to entrusting the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce to help purchase on your behalf."

Sishu: "Xianglan Chamber of Commerce will have ample preparation time. We can buy in when the price is lower than the contract price. The difference is yours."

Xia Li: "Then we will seize an opportunity to sell it at a price higher than the average price, and the profit will belong to us. We will not sell it directly, so we need a second contract to entrust Xianglan Chamber of Commerce to help sell it."

Four Numbers: "We have calculated that the 0.2% to 0.3% range for secondary energy materials has the highest returns. The same is true for your downward purchases. For example, if you buy a certain material at 1000 crystals per ton, you can sell it at 1003 crystals per ton and earn the difference of 3 crystals."

Xia Li: "First-class materials are numerous and complex. They have large production and usage, high product loss, and frequent price fluctuations. However, the unit price is low, the transportation cost is high, and the profit from buying and selling is not high. Therefore, we do not make first-class materials."

Sishu: "But according to the tribe's request, we still have to stock up. Accordingly, Chief Longbai needs Xianglan Chamber of Commerce and Boshuwan Chamber of Commerce to help us stock up in the name of purchasing on behalf of others. The proportion of first-class raw materials is fixed at 20%."

Xia Li: "One contract is counted as one order, and the fixed amount is 10 Chaos Ore per order. The first-level material share is 2 Chaos Ore, which means that the funds that can be circulated and operated are 8 Chaos Ore."

Long Bai asked, "The total value of the warehouse materials cannot be lower than a certain threshold, right?"

"I am very sure of that."

Xia Li said, "After all, Sishu and I are purchasing and hoarding materials for the tribe, and the warehouse inventory must always be kept above 90% of the total quota. We have to be prepared. If one day, news of a new star system arrives and we don't have time to close our positions, the price of materials will double or even skyrocket by then, and we'll be doomed."

Sishu: "We are operating dozens of commonly used or uncommon secondary materials at the same time. Under normal circumstances, the prices of these materials cannot rise or fall at the same time. When selling one material, we are also buying another material. The buying and selling are carried out at the same time, so there will not be much loss in the total inventory."

"..."

Long Bai activated his intelligent brain to do some calculations, and Zheng Dian moved his tentacles and said, "It's feasible!"

Long Bai took the initiative to say: "Aren't you going to disperse to various star regions in the Baijing Galaxy to operate? You can leave the Fengyan Star Region to me without any worries."

Si Shu said, "That's what we mean. Great Chief Longbai, you have many insects and a wide range of social connections. If possible, it would be best to expand in the surrounding star regions."

Long Bai suggested: "How about bringing in the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce? We can consider expanding it simultaneously with the Force Food Trade."

Sishu and Xia Li looked at each other...

Sishu hesitated and said, "The spiders from Baiwei Chamber of Commerce always give me the impression that they are unreliable..."

Xia Li: "Of course, sometimes I feel they are incredible."

Sishu: "This job requires a flexible mind and keen market intuition. An ordinary bug can't do it..."

Long Bai calmly stated, "In fact, the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce had already arranged for the five insects, namely, feather beans, grass dragons, poisonous beans, poisonous wheat, and flying thorns, to plan interstellar shipping and the sale of energy materials when I built the 'Molan Survival Mothership'. The idea of ​​reselling materials to make a profit was there 20,000 years earlier than you, but we didn't have enough capital, so we haven't been able to do it yet."

"..."

Sishu and Xia Li were silent.

Long Bai asked, "To purchase energy materials, we need to make friends with the big tribes, right?"

"The Force Food Trade has always been conducted by the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce. As the influence of the Tree Flower Chamber of Commerce expands and rises, it can get in touch with and get to know the big tribes that run mining stars. In terms of social relationships and communication skills, no other tribe's insects can compare with the Flame Spider Merchants."

"The Baiwei Chamber of Commerce is responsible for monitoring market prices and purchasing. The Xianglan Chamber of Commerce is responsible for stockpiling, escorting, and some refining work. Working together, we can quickly expand to at least ten star regions centered on the Fengyan Star Region. We can help to efficiently operate the funds of at least 1000 million Chaos Ore."

"Is the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce so powerful?"

"That's something we can consider..."

Sishu and Xia Li were a little moved by what they heard.

Si Shu said, "Then, Great Chief Longbai, let's go to Fengyan Star Region and find President Bai Wei to discuss it in detail?"

"of course."

Long Bai looked around, changed the subject, and asked, "You are still dealing in materials while managing the Zero-Level Source Point?"

Sishu: "We will use part of the raw crystals we earn to store materials for ourselves, and invest the other part into the zero-level source point to train our own young warriors while harvesting some wild God-given seeds."

Xia Li: "The seeds bestowed by God will always be the most stable investment and the most reliable wealth for our Zerg warriors..."

Chat for a while,
They discussed for a while.

Long Bai and Sishu set out together, first heading to the Baxiang star system to exchange for world gems, and then heading to the Bauhinia star system to find Bai Wei to discuss cooperation in detail.

Let’s first place an order in the Fengyan star system to test the waters.

Sishu brought in a camel-carrying mudworm warrior named 'Sisong'. Xianglan Chamber of Commerce signed a contract with Sisong Chamber of Commerce and received 10 Chaos Ore funds.

Build warehouses in the Azure and Ocean Blue star systems.

Molan personally organized the combat forces, arranged guards, and was responsible for the escort work.

Two teams with metal-related abilities are organized by Nebula Cypress and Scale Oak to be responsible for the daily maintenance of metal materials.

Insects such as white hibiscus, red peach, feather bean, grass dragon, and poisonous bean began to run in all directions.

Long Bai and Si Shu did not show up, but followed secretly. After running for two hundred years, the first-class raw energy metals worth 2 trillion were transported to the warehouse. Si Shu left because of an urgent matter.

Longbai lived in the Hailan star system for a long time, trained 36 more assistant kings, and replenished the ant colony at the same time; on weekdays, he lay dormant and meditated to continue to strengthen his soul system or ponder the law ability "Zero"; regularly listened to intelligence information from all parties, and discussed the purchase and sale of secondary materials with Caolong and Yudou.

This transaction is very simple. It only requires three conditions: large capital, connections, and familiarity with market conditions.

It is not easy. There are many chambers of commerce that are also engaged in material speculation business, and the competition is fierce. In addition, the large tribes that operate mining stars are not willing to be easily profited by profiteers. Although the star field is large, the operating space is very limited.

Longbai followed and guarded for a thousand years.

The number four arrives again, the millennium is settled:

The net profit of Longbai Chamber of Commerce and Baiwei Chamber of Commerce was just over 30 billion.

The Sisong Chamber of Commerce had a net profit of 32 billion.

can do.

If another 4 contracts are signed, the Phoenix Eye Star Region will increase its investment to 50 Chaos Ore Stones, and the settlement will be made every ten thousand years.

Long Bai and Si Shu have been guarding the Hailan star system for two hundred years.

When the number four shows that the transaction is on the right track, you can leave with peace of mind.

Long Bai also returned to the Fenglun Star Territory and began to use the World Gems to focus on condensing the "Trace".

...

...

Ding~ling~ling~ling~
The metal wall that isolates the spiritual power seals the nest room, and Longbai, who was quietly practicing, was disturbed by the ringing of the metal bell.

a thought,
The metal door between the secret room and the living room opened.

Longbai asked doubtfully, "Short Horn, is there a bug looking for me? Is it urgent?"

The god-given seed of the short-handled horn tree said with reason and evidence: "It is the old spiders Zeqi and Luoli who are looking for you. They are rare guests, and they must have something urgent to come to you." "..."

Why did Zeqi and Luoli get together?

Zeqi does occasionally discuss Chamber of Commerce affairs.

What could possibly happen to Fallen Tribulus?

Duanjiao was right. Luoli must have something big to happen since he came looking for him.

Long Bai thought for a moment and opened his StarNet account to check.

[Time: 78th Era-238 Yuan-901 Years]

"It happens to be the time when Tianjie and Chandou return from the Lizhu Star System..."

"It's time for Zeqi and Luoli to shine..."

Longbai muttered to himself, got up and left the nest, heading to the star port to greet them.

"Longbai!"

"Longbai, this way."

Zeqi did not drive his own Star Spider. The two of them came hurriedly as if they were riding on a passenger Star Spider traveling a thousand times the speed of light.

"President Zeqi. President Luoli."

Longbai responded, trotting forward and asking, "What happened?"

Luo Li spoke in a deep and uncontrollably excited tone, "Things are going to change, and they're going to change right away!"

change of weather?

If Luo Li speaks, it means that something big will happen to Luo Li Chamber of Commerce!

There are many insects with different eyes around.

Long Bai didn't ask any more questions and first led them to find the star port guard to register for the visit.

Enter the territory of the northern 4201 area of ​​Fenglun Star.

The short-handled horn tree is a god-given species. The living room on the first floor.
Long Bai activated his soul power, set up a triple barrier, and looked at Luo Li.

Luo Li looked at Ze Qi.

Zeqi said leisurely: "Tianjie and Chandou went to the Lizhu star system to trade and heard an important piece of information from Shixia. The Luoli Chamber of Commerce headquarters "borrowed" a group of "intelligent machines" that are proficient in calculations and have super computing power from the Lizhu Chamber of Commerce."

"These 'intelligent machines' are doing professional auditing work in the Lizhu Chamber of Commerce. They are said to be planning to send them to the Baijing Star System..."

Luo Li said solemnly: "The Chamber of Commerce wants to review the past transaction accounts of the Baijing Galaxy."

Check the accounts?

The Luoli Chamber of Commerce is a large chamber of commerce with transactions spread across the three major star systems, millions of official members, and inestimable assets. The area involved is too wide and the interests are too great. It is inevitable that there will be spiders who use their position to profit for themselves or their relatives and friends.

The higher-ups will conduct regular inspections and spot checks frequently, but they generally won’t take it too seriously. As long as it’s not excessive and no major problems arise, they won’t delve into it too deeply.

Using intelligent machines to assist...

Are you serious about this?

"It's not that simple!"

Long Bai suddenly came to his senses, but was still a little confused. He asked, "The mission undertaken by Luoli Chamber of Commerce to protect the mother planet will take 78 epochs-300 yuan-000 to complete the million-year period, right?"

Luo Li: “That’s right.”

"There are still 60,000 years before the expiration date..."

Long Bai hesitated for a moment and said, "So the old generation of senior management of the Luoli Chamber of Commerce, headed by President Luoli, are going to step down early? This is to purge the Chamber of Commerce team and promote the new generation of senior management to take over important positions... trial operation? They want to ensure that the Chamber of Commerce can still operate healthily and well without their supervision and leadership, and then they dare to embark on the expedition with confidence."

Zeqi said: "Luo Li and I think so too."

Long Bai tilted his head and asked suspiciously, "Luo Li, you haven't done anything bad like embezzling the Chamber of Commerce's wealth or transferring benefits, right?"

"No--"

Luo Li was somewhat speechless, and said, "Since I had predicted this day a long time ago, I must not leave any stain on myself! However, it came too hastily. At present, my position in the Chamber of Commerce is still level 15."

Long Bai asked, "How much is left?"

Luo Li: "16 trillion in transaction volume."

Long Bai: "..."

It was indeed too hasty.

Wait another 20,000 or 30,000 years.

The lease of the Aquamarine star system has expired.
The Xianglan Chamber of Commerce has accumulated enough original crystals and leased the Azure Star System for a period of 100,000 years.

The Boshuwan Chamber of Commerce renewed the lease of the Xuanling 1 star system, Xuanling 2 star system, and Xuanling 3 star system in cooperation with Sishu and Xia Li.

The Boshuwan Chamber of Commerce can also collect some original crystals and rent a source point star system.

There is also the Yutao star system where Bai Wei and the Shuhua Chamber of Commerce joined the tribal cooperation.

There are also those large families that have close ties with the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce who can lobby for help.

Together, everyone can help Luo Li complete nearly half of the quota.

In the Bauhinia star system, the Shuye and Canye stars, which belong to the Luoli Chamber of Commerce, have a large number of Zerg forces of all sizes. First of all, they need to pay rent for the territories they have settled in. If they want to rent a zero-level source point, they will definitely give priority to the Luoli Chamber of Commerce.

There are four branches in Potato Leaf Star and Saddle Leaf Star, with four presidents, eight vice presidents, and 24 to 30 standard ordinary formal members.

Luo Li is one of the four presidents. After operating for so long, he has his own insect connections. If he works hard, it will not be difficult to reach a transaction volume of 16 trillion in the next to years.

If it is according to everyone's previous speculation, the mission of protecting the mother planet in the 78th Era-300 Yuan-000 was completed before preparations for the voyage and promotion of new bugs began. Luo Li still has a chance to rush to level 17...

But now, stuck at such a time point...

"It's difficult~"

Long Bai's thoughts spun rapidly as he asked, "The 'Intelligent Audit Team' invited by the Luoli Chamber of Commerce headquarters hasn't arrived at the Baijing Galaxy yet, right? Any news? When will they arrive?"

Luo Li said: "There is no news yet. Once we arrive, we should be assigned to various star regions and start simultaneously. The presidents of our branch offices will definitely receive the corresponding notification."

Luo Li said: "The Luo Li Chamber of Commerce audits its accounts and settles dividends once every thousand years. If it is a routine audit, an ordinary Flame Spider can do it. If you use the 'Intelligent Machine', you must check back 10 years, 20 years, or even longer."

"No matter how powerful the computing power of the intelligent machine is, it will take a while to calculate such a huge amount of data. Even if it is calculated, it will not be processed all at once. Only after dealing with the various problems found, the higher-ups will start to consider promoting new bugs."

Long Bai tapped his antenna and said, "Hurry up and mobilize all the connections you can. Do your best to achieve a wave of sales!"

Luo Li: "Yes. That's what I meant."

Long Bai added: "The senior management of Luoli Chamber of Commerce all live in the third-level source star system, and those who enter and exit the third-level source must be at the level of the Sujing. Luoli, after your position in the Chamber of Commerce is upgraded to level 16, you will need to apply for a long vacation and evolve into a brilliant transformation."

"Of course I know that."

Luo Li: "Now I am anxious to reach level 16."

龙柏点了点触角，说道：“昼光海擂台战是78纪-260元-000年正式开始。波树湾商会租赁的三座零级源点恒星系是78纪-271元左右到期？”

"I can talk to Sishu and Xia Li about renewing your lease in advance, using participating in the Daylight Sea Arena and traveling the universe as a reasonable excuse."

"In the past 20,000 years, Sishu and Xiali have earned a lot. Perhaps we can persuade them to strengthen cooperation and lease two more source star systems."

"We can help you collect at least 3 trillion here."

"As for the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, I will try to get some together and rent the Azure Star System for 100,000 years. But that's all."

"I can't provide the original crystals to renew the lease of the Ocean Blue Star System for the time being. In such a hurry, I can only help you here."

Luo Li: "..."

Long Bai asked, "Where is the Citibank Chamber of Commerce? Have you looked for it?"

Luo Li: "I came to you mainly because I hope you can accompany me to formally visit the Citibank Chamber of Commerce, hoping to gain their full support..."
