Chapter 400: Antiques for Warships
"This... Mr. Liszt, this is the shopping list of the items I want to buy from Mr. Xiang this time. Please check it out."
Looking at Liszt's helpless look, Ying Ji also smiled shyly.
For the current self, there is really nothing comparable to Liszt.
He has more money than himself, stronger strength than himself, more power than himself, and higher rank than himself. Apart from the system, Ying Ji really has nothing to overwhelm Liszt, so his attitude should naturally be lowered a bit. Be pragmatic.
The light blue light curtain rippled again, and the shopping list that Ying Ji made was clearly presented in front of Liszt's eyes.
"400 ancient wooden warships with a displacement of 3,000 tons, 300 ancient wooden warships with a displacement of 7,000 tons, and 200 ancient large wooden warships with a displacement of 10,000 to 11,000 tons. , beach landing warships...transport warships...combat warships..."
Looking at the shopping list above the light curtain, Liszt's mouth twitched, and his eyes were extremely disappointed.
"I thought there was a big order. It turned out to be a small business. Now even the battleships in the alliance that were hundreds of years ago are at the level of interstellar battleships."
"Not counting the total weight of the battle, there are hundreds of tons or even millions of tons. Where can you get such a super antique ship with a displacement of only tens of millions of tons? Isn't this embarrassing yourself?"
"Spending 10,000 value points to do this kind of loss-making business, which world and which country's stupid emperor can think of this?"
"Is it really a show of brains, can people be stupid and have a lot of money?"
Of course, this was just what Liszt had in mind, and Liszt dared not say it.
In hundreds of years of plane transactions, Liszt also concluded a result, that is, who can offend, but must not offend plane merchants.
The profession of plane merchant is really too special. Today he is poor, and maybe tomorrow he will rise to the top and become a peerless powerhouse. Even you have to curry favor.
Plane merchants really can't afford to offend, even if the highest level among the plane merchants is the same for the lowest level.
Although Liszt tried his best to cover it up, how could Ying Ji, who is also a businessman, not see any clues, and instantly understood what Liszt was thinking.
"Sir, don't worry, since I am determined to start a plane transaction, there is naturally a price that will make you excited."
Ying Ji smiled lightly, but it aroused a little curiosity in Liszt's heart.
"Oh, I don't know what price His Majesty can get, but Liszt is very curious."
Looking at Ying Ji, Liszt said.
"Antiques, I have a large quantity of antiques in my hands. This is the price I offered to buy a total of 700 warships. What does Mr. Liszt think?"
Not long ago, Ying Ji had issued an order.
In addition to transporting 6 million gold back to the local world, it seems to be a premeditated plan to collect all the antique calligraphy and paintings retained by all the aristocratic clans in the first world that were annihilated by the imperial army, and transport them back to the empire together with the huge wealth. .
"Is this true, Your Majesty?"
"If His Majesty really has a large-scale antique in his hands, then this transaction is not bad. The big deal is that this Congressman orders an arms branch company under his command to build an ancient warship production line, which can definitely meet His Majesty's needs."
"But before that, can this congressman see the quality and condition of this batch of antiques?"
Finally, Liszt's interest was fully aroused.
Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times, this is the truth that has not changed through the ages.
Although the Xingyao Federation has entered the era of interstellar navigation, the number of resource planets controlled by the Federation is as high as thousands, and countless resources that were once scarce on the water blue star are now commonplace, and the Federation has become extremely rich.
Similarly, although gold is precious, it is also a kind of resource.
Among the resource planets controlled by the Federation, there are dozens of planets with gold reserves accounting for up to half of the planet's total resource reserves.
This also led to the rapid depreciation of gold, which was originally a hard currency and a measure of the strength of the Federation, and eventually became worthless.
However, the value of antiques has never been shaken, not only because of the need to study historiography, but also because many upstart families also need antiques from this glorious era to decorate the facade and save face.
Therefore, even in the interstellar era, antiques have a huge sales market and profit margins, which are enough to make people excited.
Yes, the glorious era is the era before the human race in this world was on the verge of extinction, the era when the culture was extremely prosperous and prosperous before the full-scale nuclear war.
Since the end of the glorious era, water blue star human civilization has plummeted, and more than 95% of the civilization's achievements have been destroyed in that comprehensive nuclear war.
The recovered human civilization spared no effort in excavating and searching for the achievements of civilization in these glorious eras.
Even to this day, some historians, writers and artists in the Commonwealth recall the cultural prosperity recorded in those ancient books.
When I think of the current situation where there are no achievements of civilization, and it is in a state of decay, I can wake up crying from my sleep and hate myself for not being born in a glorious era.
There is a huge market and profit margins in front of you. As long as you can win this batch of antiques, your influence in the federal cultural circle will also increase unprecedentedly.
Undoubtedly, Liszt was moved, and directly asked Ying Ji to see the real thing.
"Of course!"
The plane trading function continued to be activated and was being stored in the imperial treasury. The pictures of ancient paintings and calligraphy piled up like mountains were instantly intercepted by mysterious fluctuations in the space, forming pictures and uploading them directly to the blue light curtain.
"It's true, these are genuine antiques. If I can get these antiques, then I, Liszt, will instantly become a pivotal figure in the federal literary world."
"Those writers, artists and historians who used to put on a stinky face all day long have to bow their heads obediently. This is an antique in a glorious era!"
"Even if it's not a cultural relic from the glorious era, but now more than ten thousand years have passed, who can still remember it?"
"Anyway, the traces of time on these cultural relics cannot be faked!"
Thinking of this, Liszt smiled mysteriously!
The technological storm brought about by the era of interstellar voyages has caused a blowout of science and technology, and the original simulation technology is enough to turn the fake into the real, but the anti-counterfeiting technology also goes hand in hand.
These cultural relics are absolutely genuine, and even the top anti-simulation brains in the historical field cannot detect anything wrong. After all, they are real.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I am very satisfied with this batch of antiques, and I also feel His Majesty's sincerity."
"Seven hundred ancient warships of various tonnages and types, Liszt will upload all of them to the trading space within half a month, and His Majesty can extract them at any time."
