Chapter 338, Getting Slaughtered (Repaying Debt 8)
Hearing that the other party actually asked for such a huge amount of arms and weapons at once, Luo Xiaoyao refused without hesitation. What a joke! Even if your Kalan Empire can afford it, it is impossible for the Empire to sell such a huge amount of arms and weapons, especially large space battleships.
Each large space battleship of the Empire is the Empire's national treasure and the crystallization of the Empire's science and technology. The construction of each large space battleship takes a relatively long time. There are too many things in it that are far from being measured by money, and they are definitely not sold to the outside world.
"That's a pity."
Webster sighed helplessly. Every civilization cherishes the advanced technology in its hands very much. Generally, even products are difficult to buy. The most expensive in the universe is not the specialty of each planet, but the high-tech products of each civilization. They are very expensive and difficult to buy.
After negotiating the large-scale arms and weapons transactions, other insignificant transactions were completed very happily. The trade of local specialties and ordinary technology products was too strict, so it was easy to reach an exchange.
"Mr. Webster, our Yanhuang Empire is located inside the Orion Arm, and has very little contact with the outside world. We know very little about the Milky Way and the Orion Arm. I wonder if your Empire can sell us information about the various civilizations in the Milky Way and the Orion Arm?"
The conversation between the two sides was very pleasant. Luo Xiaoyao also took the opportunity to ask for the purchase of information. Just as Li Wandu thought, the Empire is very eager for information about the cosmic civilizations in the entire Milky Way and the Orion Arm, and wants to know more information to guide the future development and expansion of the Empire.
"To be honest, even our Kalan Empire knows very, very little about the inner circle of the Milky Way. Only the most powerful starlight on the Orion Arm can know the detailed information of the inner circle of the Milky Way, so I can only tell you about the many civilizations on the Orion Arm, but what about the price?"
When Webster heard this, his eyes narrowed and he immediately changed into the face of a profiteer. Before, he had been begging Luo Xiaoyao to sell some advanced weapons and technologies to the Kalan Empire, but Luo Xiaoyao shook his head repeatedly. Now, on the contrary, he was not going to let go of this opportunity to slaughter sheep easily.
Information is something that can be said to be very valuable. Of course, if the empire has contact with many cosmic civilizations, this information will not be very valuable. In many cases, as long as you hang out with other interstellar civilizations for a long time, you will naturally know a lot of information.
But now, the Empire has just begun to contact the interstellar civilization on the Orion spiral arm, and this information is very important, because if there is no accurate information, it is very likely to suffer a great loss, and it is hard to say whether it will offend several powerful civilizations at the same time. Therefore, even if Mingzhi will be slaughtered by Webster, the Empire is also planning to buy this information.
"The price is negotiable."
Luo Xiaoyao smiled and said generously, anyway, he will be slaughtered anyway, so don't be too petty, just let the other party ask for a high price.
"Okay, that's great. This information is the information that our Kalan Empire has been continuously compiling over the years of contact with countless interstellar civilizations. The price of a large space battleship is absolutely worth the money. Although your empire is technologically advanced and powerful, it is not the so-called "people in the world are floating". The most important thing is not how strong you are, but to have a good eye. There are always opponents stronger than you."
Webster slowly raised a finger and asked for the price of a large space battleship. The price of a large space battleship is definitely more expensive than the price of dozens of medium-sized space battleships, and the price of arms and weapons is famously high in the universe.
If the empire needs about 1 billion yuan to manufacture a general small space battleship, then the price of the empire on the side of the Kalan Empire is more than 1 trillion, and the price of medium-sized space battleships is as high as 20 trillion, and the price of large space battleships is more than 100 trillion.
Of course, even if the Kalan Empire is willing to pay 100 trillion equivalent goods, the empire will not sell large space battleships to the Kalan Empire. The prices between the two sides are extremely high.
What you sell is expensive, and the other side is also expensive. However, because the Empire has more advanced technology, it sells a lot of technological products to the Kalan Empire, and the products sold by the Kalan Empire to the Empire are mostly local specialties. If the price of these products is too expensive, they can't be sold at all.
Therefore, in this trade between the two sides, the Empire has a huge trade surplus, and the amount of this trade surplus is about 100 trillion. It is impossible for Webster to really use goods of equal value to lower it, so he seized this opportunity and took a big bite.
Balance this trade deficit with a piece of information intelligence, and information intelligence does not require any cost at all, that is, it is only useful for civilizations like the Empire that have just entered the universe. Older interstellar civilizations will definitely not be fooled.
He also saw this point clearly, knowing that the Empire needed this information very much, so he acted ruthlessly, accurately and fiercely. After quoting the price, he shook his tail slightly with pride, as if he wanted to buy it, and put on an attitude that I have you.
"Okay, I'll buy it."
Luo Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with light, and his hands couldn't help but clenched. He knew very well that the other party was taking the opportunity to rip off the Empire, but there was no way. Even if he knew that the other party was going to rip him off, he still had to be willing to give himself up and take the knife.
Without this information, the Empire would have no idea about the entire Orion Arm, and it might suffer a great loss in the future. Therefore, compared with the possible loss in the future, this information fee seems insignificant.
"Okay, straightforward!"
Seeing Luo Xiaoyao nod, Webster laughed happily. Although the Kalan Empire lost the war this time, the Kalan Empire took advantage of the trade between the two sides this time. It used very little to exchange for many technological products from the Empire, especially this information, and sold it very successfully at a high price.
This is the best embodiment of interstellar trade. For oneself, there may be nothing special or very ordinary, but for other cosmic civilizations, they are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it. The profit is amazing. It is just a piece of confidence information. For the Kalan Empire, or for civilizations that have made a living in the interstellar, these things are just common sense and are worthless.
To put it simply, cabbage may be a very common thing on Earth, a few cents per pound, buy one and get one free, but it is very likely that this cabbage is a holy medicine or a life-saving straw for a certain civilization in the interstellar. This civilization is willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, and the profit is no longer described by how many times.
Such things are very common in interstellar trade. Information, intelligence, biological race gene maps, route information, etc. All these things can be sold at a high price in the universe. When encountering a civilization like the Empire that has just entered the interstellar cosmic civilization family, it can even be slaughtered hard.
"Hmph! Let you be proud first, sooner or later this debt will be paid back."
Luo Xiaoyao also had a smile on his face, but he had made up his mind when he saw Webster's proud face. If there was a chance in the future, he would never let the Kalan Empire go easily, and he must get back the loss he suffered today.
Of course, this was also Luo Xiaoyao's self-consolation. At least now he was severely slaughtered by the other party. As for what will happen in the future, we still have to wait until the future to know.
...
In the Boyle Galaxy, because of the sudden appearance of the Kalan Empire fleet and the economic trade between the two sides, the Imperial Royal Corps' plan to return to the Imperial Capital Star was also followed. Before the army that replaced the Royal Corps arrived, Luo Xiaoyao's Royal Corps could only continue to stay in place, on the one hand urging the Kalan Empire to pay war reparations to the Empire and hand over the two galaxies that ceded land to prevent the Kalan Empire from changing its mind.
On the other hand, it was to escort this interstellar trade. A large amount of goods from the rear of the empire were transported here to trade with the Kalan Empire.
"This Starlight Beyond is so prosperous. There is a small black hole in its center. With this black hole as the center, there are millions of galaxies gathered within a few hundred light years. The number of life planets in each galaxy is also very large, adding up to tens of millions of life planets."
"It is really hard to imagine that there is such a prosperous place in the universe. No wonder this Starlight Beyond has long dominated the Kolov Empire in the entire Orion Arm."
"The local overlords on the entire Orion Arm not only occupied the most prosperous Starlight Beyond on the Orion Arm, but also controlled the route to the center of the Milky Way. Remember, only they can go to the center of the Milky Way, and other civilizations cannot enter the center of the Milky Way through the channel. "
"The information about the center of the Milky Way is firmly blocked by the Kolov Empire. This Kolov Empire is not only very powerful in technology, but has developed to the peak of level 3 cosmic civilization, and can go to the center of the Milky Way to obtain more advanced weapons and weapons. "
"All civilizations on the entire Orion spiral arm must obey the Kolov Empire and must pay tribute regularly, otherwise they will be ruthlessly destroyed. "
Facing the information obtained from the Kalan Empire, Luo Xiaoyao frowned deeply.
