Chapter 322 New Source of Income
Facing the human business specialist, Luo Zhaoyangdong smiled broadly, and after some pleasantries, he said:
"By the way, there is another news for you. Our company has recently launched a large customer discount. As long as you top up 10 million silver coins as a reserve, you can get a 10% discount on all subsequent freight needs. You see..."
The human commissioner looked troubled: "Sorry, although our civilization has performed a large number of tasks, most of them have just begun and have not yet been completed. The refund is not much, so I am afraid that it cannot be recharged.
Luo Zhaoyangdong said hurriedly: "Our company also provides loan services."
“Sorry, our civilized culture doesn’t like loans.”
As he spoke, the human commissioner suddenly stood up, turned his head and said, "Here we come! Here we come!"
"Sorry, sorry, the chief is calling me, I'll go first."
The human commissioner simply left without saying goodbye. Luo Zhaoyangdong vaguely heard words such as "level five civilization" and "Luke".
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
As a fifth-level civilized life, how could he not know that this was a deliberate act by humans. But the point is, what about acting? Even if you know that humans are using Luke's civilization to suppress themselves, so what? Don’t you have to endure it obediently?
In the final analysis, I cannot represent civilization after all. Although my civilization is powerful, I am just an ordinary person who has performance needs...
Luo Zhaoyangdong made up his mind.
"10% off! I specially applied for a new discount with my superiors. No deposit is required. As long as your civilization guarantees that it can complete the shipping quota of 10 million silver coins within ten years, you can get a 10% discount on the shipping fee!"
Han Yang smiled secretly in his heart.
This offer can be considered big, but it’s still not big enough.
According to the previously agreed upon strategy, the human commissioner said sincerely: "Thank you for your help to our civilization."
After the communication ended, Luo Zhaoyangdong breathed a sigh of relief and began to wait for new orders. But another half month passed, and there was still no order!
Obviously, humans are not satisfied with this discount.
These damn humans are so able to keep their composure!
Luo Zhaoyangdong gritted his teeth and took the initiative to contact the human specialist again, with a smile on his face: "Hello, our company has recently launched a new preferential policy. If you have larger freight needs, A tiered pricing approach can be adopted..."
"Oh? Can you tell me more about it?"
"The higher the quota, the greater the discount. If your civilization can complete the freight quota of 100 million silver coins within 40 years, then I can apply for a 15% discount on freight for you..."
Han Yang knew that the heat was almost ready.
Although this intensity still does not satisfy him, at least there is a basis for further negotiations. As a result, human business elites began to take turns, and finally cut the price to 20% off.
Luo Zhaoyangdong was crying, and his heart was bleeding.
That was originally my commission! These are all my achievements! Now it has been snatched away by this damn low-level civilization trash creature!
I, an advanced being from a fifth-level civilization, still have to keep a smile on my face for them!
He was filled with grief and anger. But when I walked out of the office and saw my busy colleagues, my mood quickly improved, and the previous anger and sadness disappeared.
"Humph, although my performance is not as good as before, but with the big customer of human beings here, I can beat you and get the first place in the branch without any problem...
Damn it, my previous attitude towards the human negotiation team seems to have been a bit bad. They won't complain about me, right? It would be terrible if I were replaced...
No, I have to make a return visit as soon as possible to maintain the relationship. "
Luo Zhaoyang turned around and returned to the office.
After careful maintenance, the results came the next day.
There is a new order from human civilization! Then there are four!
Calculating the time, the number of tasks backlogged some time ago is almost the same...
Sure enough, if I don't give in, these tasks will continue to be backlogged...
Luo Zhaoyangdong sighed and began to make follow-up contacts.
At this moment, almost 15 years have passed since the first Silver Alliance mission ended and humans began to take over Silver Alliance missions on a large scale.
In total, it has been 30 years since I joined the Silver Alliance, and there are only 70 years left in the protection period.
After 70 years, we will have to pay 100 million in security fees. If you still can't afford it by then, you can only mortgage your civilization's resources to get a loan. If the loan cannot be obtained, then the company will be expelled from the bank alliance and completely lose its security guarantee.
At this moment, thirty years have passed, and the silver alliance account of human civilization still only has 2.42 million silver coins, which is still far from the amount of 100 million.
Among the 2.42 million silver coins, except for the 114,800 earned from the original mission of cooperating with Ziyun Civilization to eliminate strange life forms, the rest were all mobilized by the four civilizations with unknown amounts of manpower and material resources. How many engineering equipment, transport spaceships, workers, engineers, scientists, and countless factories were built to sell the high-purity mineral resources extracted.
Nowadays, the income from natural resources has reached its peak, averaging about 120,000 silver coins per year. If you want to improve it further, you have to sacrifice the scientific research potential of human civilization, or Han Yang allocates his own computing power.
Based on this figure, by the time the security fee is paid, you can still earn about 8.5 million silver coins. The total sum is only about 10 million, which is still far from enough.
But Han Yang was not worried at all. Not only Han Yang was not worried, but none of the human leaders were worried.
Because the income from the large-scale missions taken some time ago was about to come.
In the expectation of everyone, after clearing out the strange life, the first fleet that completed its mission and returned on the Luotu civilization's aerospace mothership finally returned to the solar system.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!"
The fleet leader handed over the control of the fleet and brought back 12,000 silver coins. The number in the human silver alliance account became 2.432 million.
Three days later, the third fleet returned, and the number became 2.456 million. The next day, the number became 2.502 million.
In the following time, this number skyrocketed, sometimes changing three or four times a day. Just one year later, this number became 10.56 million!
Moreover, with the completion and settlement of more subsequent tasks, especially those that take a long time but pay more, the speed of this number will only increase faster and faster.
During this process, a large number of Silver Alliance missions were accepted by humans, and a large number of fleets set off. Some fleets did not even return to the solar system, but were directly taken away from the previous mission site and rushed directly to the next mission site.
Looking at the ever-expanding numbers in the Silver Alliance account, Han Yang had a strange feeling in his heart, just like an old farmer watching the crops growing vigorously in the fields.
"It's a pity that it's still a bit too slow."
Han Yang sighed in his heart.
Even if the military and engineering capabilities are five times that of ordinary third-level civilizations, even if they are so diligent in accepting and completing missions, in the first 30 years, human civilization has only earned such a small amount of silver coins. If it is an ordinary third-level civilization, the amount can only be less.
It is almost impossible to earn 100 million silver coins within a hundred years. Or maybe... those high-level civilizations have never thought about allowing the third-level civilization to earn enough silver coins on their own?
For example, the Purple Cloud Civilization, which was already considered to be extremely outstanding, did not earn enough money to pay for security fees. At that time, they had to borrow a sum of money. Later, the entire civilization struggled hard for thousands of years to barely pay it back and barely maintained its independence.
Like the Purple Cloud Civilization, it is extremely rare in the entire Milky Way.
Or like the Red Iron Civilization, if it had not finally saved some money and had the capital to develop aerogel engineering, the entire civilization would not see the hope of turning over even if so many people died every year.
However...
Han Yang did not have much energy to worry about the affairs of other civilizations.
He only saw that in the 60th year of joining the Silver Alliance, with a large amount of natural resources being taken away, with fleets coming and going one after another, with four civilizations and Han Yang's own full efforts, at this moment, the number under the human Silver Alliance account finally exceeded 100 million!
Moreover, at this moment, there are still up to thousands of tasks of varying sizes being carried out, which have not yet been completed and settled.
When these tasks are completed and all settled, the number of silver coins in the human account is expected to exceed 200 million!
After learning about this, the senior officials of Ziyun Civilization were shocked. Luo Zhaoyangdong, a knowledgeable fifth-level civilization life, was also shocked.
Although humans have three third-level civilizations as vassals, those three third-level civilizations obviously do not meet the standards for joining the Silver Alliance, and their civilization strength is limited. Under such circumstances, it is also an amazing feat to earn about 200 million silver coins within a hundred years of protection.
"Your human civilization has a good start."
Zixing, the head of Ziyun Civilization, said to Liu Yuan with emotion: "I see the vigorous spirit and high will in you.
It's a pity that the aesthetics is a little worse, and there is a flower missing. It's really a pity..."
Liu Yuan turned a deaf ear to Zixing's complaints and pretended not to hear: "Ziyun Civilization is also a great civilization. I believe it will definitely reach a higher level in the future."
Finally, the most urgent problem was solved, but Han Yang did not relax at all.
It's just a security fee, what's it? This amount of silver coins is far from enough!
We have to find a way to earn more silver coins at a faster speed!
But if that's the case, the speed of making money is too slow now...
Han Yang's eyes were on Pluto.
After decades of preparation, the Solar Region Biological Resources Expo is finally about to be held.
"For low-level civilizations, it is still cost-effective to sell biological resources. It is too wasteful to use my computing power to do small tasks that don't make much money, or big tasks that make a lot of money but take a long time. The most money can be earned by using it to breed biological resources." (End of this chapter)
