'With the price you're talking about, I don't need to provide the raw materials, do I?' Lin Yun couldn't help but ask.
Normally, when two parties are doing business and negotiating a price, asking a question like this is a very elementary mistake, but Lin Yun couldn't help but ask it.
Because he couldn't believe that happiness came so easily. For this kind of power bank, he was sure that once it was launched, it would sell like hot cakes. He could make hundreds of thousands of yuan in just over an hour, or even over a million yuan a day. This was money that he had saved up over the past few years with hard work. Even in Shenzhen, where there were rich people everywhere, very few people could make that kind of money so quickly.
'No, the materials needed for this product are all very basic and not worth much,' the other person replied.
'Can it be even cheaper?' Lin Yun finally returned to his business mindset and asked again.
'Haha, you're new here, aren't you?' the other person laughed.
'What do you mean?' Lin Yun paused for a moment and asked.
He didn't know what the other person meant, and he also didn't know if letting the other person know that he was new here would make things develop unfavourably for him.
'You don't need to worry about anything. The reason I can tell you are a newbie is because on the Universal Trading System, sellers are notified when newbies buy things. I can tell that you are a very smart newbie. I have gained access to the Universal Trading System for more than a thousand years and have encountered many newbies. Many of them started by buying products that were much more advanced than their civilization, but you are not...' The other party said with a smile.
'Then what?' Lin Yun asked.
'Then many of them didn't show up again. I guess many of them died...' the other party said.
'...'
Lin Yun was speechless.
'So what happened?'
Lin Yun asked again after a moment.
'My name is Xinglan. We can be friends. I'll give you 0.8 spiritual energy points for every thousand products, how's that?' The other party laughed.
'Okay, you produce the first thousand. You should need a lot more later. When can you deliver?' Lin Yun thought about it for a moment and replied directly.
He had browsed other similar information on the sale of the Jialan civilization communication equipment production line, and the price of this one was relatively cheap. Coupled with the conversation just now, he felt that the other party was not asking for a high price for the power bank.
Anyway, at the current price, he had already made a big profit, so he simply did not bargain anymore.
'One thousand? Because we need to prepare the materials, so it will be a bit late. According to your time, it will take about an hour. It will be much easier to produce later. A production line can produce about 50,000 products a day. If you want more, I can start more production lines, but that's not cost-effective. I suggest that when you have enough spiritual energy, you buy some production lines and produce them yourself.' Xing Lan thought for a moment and said.
One thousand power banks can be made in an hour?
This speed once again surprised Lin Yun.
However, thinking that the other party was a highly developed civilisation in terms of technology, Lin Yun accepted.
The other party's subsequent suggestion also made Lin Yun feel a little better.
'Okay, then let's trade in an hour,' Lin Yun replied.
The universal trading system has intelligent monitoring, so there is no need for him to place an order in advance.
'No problem. I hope we can cooperate more in the future. If you have any specialty products, you can sell them to me. I promise to give you a very reasonable price. When you have time, you can browse the information on the various pages of the Universal Trading System to see the prices of various things and see what specialty products you have that are suitable for sale.' Xinglan nodded.
'Okay, thanks for the reminder,' Lin Yun mentally replied.
After the two concluded their conversation, Lin Yun once again entered the Golden Dragon Building.
Currently, there were only 0.71 spiritual energy points in the Universal Trading System. Since he had left the Golden Dragon Building, the rate at which the Universal Trading System absorbed spiritual energy had decreased many times over. He wanted to quickly collect 0.8 spiritual energy points, and he would need to enter the Golden Dragon Building again.
Second floor of the Golden Dragon Building.
'No.'
Suddenly, Lin Yun stopped in his tracks and frowned.
He noticed that when he was outside the Golden Dragon Building, the rate at which the Cosmic Trading System absorbed spiritual energy had dropped significantly. When he was on the second floor of the Golden Dragon Building, the rate at which the Cosmic Trading System absorbed spiritual energy was a little faster than when he was on the first floor.
The number of people on the two floors was actually similar.
'I understand now. The Cosmic Trading System can absorb spiritual energy from the air within a 30-metre radius. It can absorb spiritual energy not only from the air in front, behind, left and right of it, but also from the air upstairs and downstairs. No wonder, when I was outside, the Cosmic Trading System absorbed spiritual energy so slowly, and when I was inside the Golden Dragon Tower, it absorbed spiritual energy so quickly...'
'Every floor of the Golden Dragon Tower is packed with people, and the number of people on the upper and lower 30-metre floors combined is unimaginable. How could the Cosmic Trading System not absorb spiritual energy quickly...'
Lin Yun woke up.
The bottom few floors of the Golden Dragon Building are taller, and each floor above is about three metres high.
When he was on the first floor, he could only absorb the spiritual energy in the air from the first to the eighth or ninth floors.
When he was on the second floor, he could absorb the spiritual energy in the air from the first to the ninth or tenth floors. Naturally, the speed would be faster with one more floor.
By analogy, when he was on the third floor, the range of the universe trading system absorbing spiritual energy would be even greater.
There are a total of 18 floors in the Golden Dragon Building. When he was on the 8th and 9th floors, he could absorb the spiritual energy of almost all the floors.
Thinking about this, Lin Yun decisively walked upwards.
Sure enough, every time he went up one floor, the speed at which the cosmic trading system absorbed spiritual energy increased significantly.
By the time he reached the 8th floor, the speed at which the cosmic trading system absorbed spiritual energy had already increased by 30% compared to when he was on the 3rd floor.
At the current rate, he estimated that in an hour, the Cosmic Trading System could absorb one spiritual energy point.
'Unfortunately, it can only absorb a distance of 30 metres in all directions...'
Lin Yun sighed.
Each floor of the Golden Dragon Building was several thousand square metres, about 100 metres long and 50-60 metres wide.
A 30-metre radius could only cover half of the Golden Dragon Building.
If he could cover the entire Golden Dragon Building, the Cosmic Trading System would absorb spiritual energy twice as fast.
'There are devices for absorbing and refining spiritual energy for sale on the Universal Trading System, but the prices are all too high. The cheapest one costs several thousand spiritual crystals...'
Lin Yun shook his head.
Several thousand spiritual crystals... He can't even collect one spiritual crystal right now...
At the current rate of spiritual energy absorption by the Universal Trading System, it would take about ten days before he could have one spiritual crystal. Several thousand spiritual crystals would be tens of thousands of days... That's a hundred years!
He would be old and dead in a hundred years!
'However, I can not only use the universal trading system to absorb the spiritual energy in the air, but also sell the specialties of the Blue Star in exchange for spiritual crystals...'
The existence of the universal trading system is to allow the resources of various civilizations to circulate with each other. He can not only buy things from other civilizations, but other civilizations can also buy things from the Blue Star. This is the meaning of the existence of the universal trading system.
Selling the specialties of the Blue Star first, saving enough spiritual crystals, buying equipment to absorb and refine spiritual energy, and then using the refined spiritual crystals to buy other things is a good way.
It's just that I don't know what specialty products are suitable for sale on Blue Star.
Lin Yun mused.
That Xinglan was right; he should browse more information on the various sections of the Universal Trading System.
However, there was no rush, and he would take things one step at a time. He would first focus on the task at hand.
