Interstellar Energy Tycoon

See an extremely magical scene played out on a projection screen.

Zenoz XVIII looked like a country bumpkin, his mouth couldn't help but grow, his face was full of surprise and disbelief.

quick.

The efficiency is too fast.

The production line is indeed like running water, whirring, whirling, and processing a large number of products with excellent quality. They look almost exactly the same, as if there is no slight error or difference.

More importantly, there is no one.

There is not a single worker in sight on the assembly line. Everything is automated. As long as the raw materials are put in, no human operation is required. Under the automatic operation of the machine, a large number of high-quality products can be produced.

This means saving a lot of labor costs.

The efficiency is higher than countless workers working all day long.

The unit production cost will naturally be reduced to a very low level.

Even if it is sold at a relatively cheap price, the profit margin should not be small.

That's right.

As a great nobleman.

Zenoz XVIII was undoubtedly smart. He just stared at the projected image for a short while, and then he figured out a lot of the content and realized its features and advantages.

And then.

An unprecedented greed took over his brain.

wealth.

He saw unimaginable wealth.

As long as he can take possession of these production lines, his duchy will soon become the richest existence in the Kingdom of Jinwo. It is estimated that even with the financial resources of the royal family, it will not be his opponent. With a huge amount of With money, he can recruit troops crazily, expand his strength, use benefits to win over some allies, and then target the throne of the king and launch the most violent offensive. If he succeeds, he will not be a small duke, but a kingdom. The ruler will stand on a higher position and establish his own rule.

but……

He quickly regained consciousness and restrained his inner greed.

Because these businessmen are not simple.

If you want to build a high-efficiency production line that doesn't require a single worker, you not only need a large number of 'power stones' to provide energy, but you also have to recruit a large number of magicians to be responsible for driving the production line. They must be large numbers or very powerful magicians individually. , to build such a production line.

It is not simple to explain the power behind these businessmen.

It's not necessarily weaker than his family's power.

If a conflict breaks out between the two sides, even if all these people can be kidnapped and imprisoned, it will lead to revenge from the forces behind them, which may bring considerable disaster to the duchy.

careful.

Caution must be exercised.

Don't be blinded by temporary greed.

Think of this.

Zenoz XVIII rolled his eyes, showed a gentle smile, and said to Li Lefan and others: "You distinguished guests, please stay in the Duke's Mansion for a longer time. We may have a lot of cooperation to discuss. If there is any need, , you can ask me how to cooperate in detail, wait until the news is better tonight, how about we start talking tomorrow?"

"Okay, we are willing to stay here for a few more days."

Li Lefan and the team members looked at each other, then nodded and said.

In fact, their original plan was to travel the world as traveling merchants and establish a comprehensive understanding of the world through observing the production and life of people in the middle and lower classes.

But now he is dealing with nobles, which seems to be different from the previous plan.

However, Li Lefan and the others felt that cooperation with the nobles might be a good option, because the class structure was too serious. Even if the price of the high-quality goods in their caravan was extremely cheap, the middle and lower class people could not buy much. Only the nobles could buy them. Only the status and a small number of craftsmen and urban civilians have a certain spending power, but they are still far from the nobles.

If their business continues like this, they won't be able to make much profit at all, and they won't have access to some high-value resources, such as the 'star core crystal', which the local indigenous people call the 'power stone', almost all of which is controlled by the nobles. In the hand, ordinary people cannot even touch it, and it can only be found in the underground treasure troves of nobles.

According to the principle of 'whoever has money will do business', dealing with the aristocratic class is the best way to increase sales and bring high-quality customers, and also to efficiently contact and obtain the resources you need most.

So the next two days.

As the 'age boss' of the caravan, Li Lefan had a good discussion with Duke Zenoz XVIII about the specific matters of cooperation.

Agreeing to sell those high-quality goods in piles to Zenoz XVIII at very cheap wholesale prices, and then he would use the Duke's Palace as the core supplier to sell large quantities of goods to those sub-contractors. Level agents, and then through those small and medium-sized agents, use a small price increase to sell to more and further places, spread out, increase sales, and seek more returns.

Take the lighter, which is very convenient for starting fire, for example.

After bargaining again and again.

The wholesale price of lighters is 50 copper coins (0.5 silver coins). Duke Zenoz XVIII changed hands and continued to wholesale them at the price of 10 silver coins. He made a tearful profit of twenty times. As for the terminal selling price in the market, it must be generally 30 silver coins. , more than 50 silver coins, or even 1 gold coin (1 gold coin can be exchanged for 88 silver coins), and it can definitely be sold, because many people on the Mars planet have formed the custom of smoking some kind of dried leaves to refresh themselves and explore outdoors. There are many adventurers in the world, and there are naturally many places to use fire. Lighters, a product that is convenient, easy to show off wealth and cool, and yet easy to consume, naturally do not need to worry about the problem of not being easy to sell.

Other glass mirrors, soaps, cosmetics and other various products have also reached cooperation with Duke Zenoz XVIII and set an initial wholesale price that needs to be kept confidential, generally ranging from ten copper coins to one hundred copper coins, very After being resold by the Duke's Palace, the price increase is at least ten times. Some exquisite products are even resold at a premium of dozens or hundreds of times.

There is no need to worry about the supply of goods. As long as Li Lefan takes out his mobile phone and makes a call, a spaceship specially designed to transport goods will soon land slowly in the backyard of the Duke's Palace. Each trip can bring dozens or hundreds of tons. , there was a lot of buzzing noise, and everyone who saw it couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

Even Zenoz XVIII was dumbfounded and surprised by the huge movement of the cargo ship.

Because under normal circumstances, the carrying capacity of a divine energy spacecraft is only a dozen tons, which will make the divine energy users feel very strenuous. Only those flying ships that use dozens or hundreds of 'super energy users' at the same time, Only in this way can it have a larger carrying capacity.

If this kind of weird-looking spaceship can make at least one trip every day and bring hundreds of tons of commercial goods, then it will definitely be enough to meet all the internal needs of the Jinwo Kingdom.

This refreshed Zenoz XVIII's understanding of the mysterious businessmen who had arrived. The greed in his mind immediately dissipated a lot, and the idea of ​​​​killing people and silencing them was completely gone.

Weird, mysterious, powerful, unknown purpose, and possibly very scary.

These thoughts came to Zenoz XVIII's mind.

He no longer dared to think about seeking wealth and killing, and began to look at Li Lefan seriously, treating the potential forces behind him as a powerful being that could be cooperated with and not provoked.

the other side.

For Li Lefan, life in the Duke's Palace is pretty good. He is served by beautiful and gentle maids, and there are all kinds of rich delicacies. It is no less than the food system on his home planet. After all, Mars has a very long history. In terms of food, many distinctive cuisines have also been developed and a variety of preparations have been cultivated, allowing people to taste countless delicacies on the tip of the tongue.

And because of the hot climate, there are many kinds of fruits on Mars, thousands of them. It is said that some low-level civilians can barely survive by eating fruits from the trees. In some lands In a rich land, the poor simply choose to lie down. They only need to live under the fruit trees and wait for the fruits to ripen, completely getting rid of the hardship caused by labor. Such poor people are often hunted down by the army led by the nobles to characterize them. As a 'thief', even if he has not done anything harmful to the world, he will be hanged and reduced to a slave. After all, in the eyes of the nobles, lying flat is an unforgivable sin. If you don't work for them until death, you will lose everything. Forget about killing.

In order to deepen our understanding of the cultural customs of this world.

After learning that there is a library containing a large number of books in the Duke's palace.

Li Lefan then made a request to the Duke, wanting to read the books in the library and find some information, hoping to get approval.

Zenoz XVIII hesitated for a moment. Books and knowledge are very precious things in this world. They are also a shortcut for countless ordinary people at the bottom to change their own destiny. Moreover, some methods of cultivating the 'power of god' can also be used. Found in books, opening the library to outsiders means the leakage of valuable knowledge, which will bring quite serious consequences - yes, this is actually the reason why the development of the planet Mars has always been stagnant. No one is willing to share precious knowledge. The nobles treasured their knowledge very dearly, fearing that their secret knowledge would be learned by others, so they tried every means to prevent it from being leaked. As a result, there was a lot of precious knowledge that was completely lost due to various reasons. Some knowledge that could be called 'dragon slaying art', It is even more impossible to be popularized.

Just considering the huge benefits that cooperation between the two parties can bring.

Zenoz XVIII thought for a while and agreed to Li Lefan's reading of the books, but he sent a person to supervise the books. He would not be allowed to read books involving "heirloom knowledge".

So in the library of the Duke's Palace.

I saw about 50,000 books densely packed on the bookshelves.

Li Lefan started browsing some historical biographies, took out a scanner device in his hand, opened a certain book, and then scanned and entered it. In about a few minutes, the scan could be completed, and the knowledge in the book would be Uploading to the database of the spacecraft 'Starry Sky Dauntless' is very efficient.

In just a week at most, Li Lefan can complete the scanning of most books, and then let the artificial intelligence system sort them out to summarize a knowledge brain map, so as to have a more comprehensive understanding of the world.

Next to him is the Duke's daughter who is supervising him - Briosia Mary. This is a 22-year-old, very knowledgeable young woman who wears a pair of intellectual glasses. She has a very delicate and pretty appearance and is very knowledgeable and intellectual. Temperament, and quite powerful strength - she is also a 'superpower' with quite powerful power, but as the price of mastering the power, she cannot get married in her life and must protect her family until death.

Therefore, Brioscia Marie has long been calm. She just wants to continue to grow in the pursuit of power. She just wants to better protect the family and resist any threats that may come, even if her father Zenoz XVIII wants to If she wants to rebel, she must give her full support. She has become the representative of the strength of the Zenoz family.

It was only in the library that I had some contacts while supervising Li Lefan, a foreign businessman.

Briosia Marie felt a strange feeling in her heart.

In other words, it is a strong curiosity.

This foreign businessman is really strange.

He obviously wanted to go into the library to borrow books, but he didn't spend time reading books at all. He just held a weird device in his hand and scanned it quickly.

Then in order to improve the relationship with him, this guy also gave her a lot of snacks, desserts and other food, so that she could taste some magical flavors. In addition, he also gave her a touch tablet computer with various information on it. This kind of software can be used for learning, recording knowledge, playing games, taking videos and photos, etc. The gameplay is extremely rich. After studying it for three days and three nights, Briosia Marie was able to find some new functions. , so that she was extremely surprised.

Generous.

It can only be said that this young businessman from outside is very generous and the gift he gave me is very precious.

Moreover, Li Lefan's age is said to be only three years older than her, and he is only twenty-five years old this year. There is no big age difference between them, they are both young people.

Most importantly, Li Lefan also told her personally that he was still single. He left his powerful family and went out to work outside. He just wanted to see the world, experience the wonderful things outside, improve his knowledge, and see more. What a beautiful and spectacular scenery. Finally, I wrote my life experience into a book. I don’t know if it will be welcomed by readers.

After hearing these words.

Brioscia Marie fell into silence and thinking, and she couldn't help but feel countless envy pouring out of her heart.

free.

This young businessman is completely different from himself. He has unlimited freedom. He can go to any corner of the world and experience countless wonderful or ordinary stories.

She is a caged bird, confined to the Duke's Palace, and given the mission of protecting the family. If it were before, she would have been willing to such an arrangement, but after hearing Li Lefan's pursuit and dream, she has no idea about the outside world. Brioscia Marie couldn't help but feel a strong yearning and a huge unwillingness.

On the seventh day.

Li Lefan has completed the scanning work of most of the books.

He said goodbye to Brioscia Marie, saying that he would not be coming again tomorrow. All the books that should be scanned were recorded, and he was very grateful to her for her help these days.

"etc!"

However, Brioscia Mary stopped him and said, "I want to leave with you. Do you have any good ideas?"
