Therefore, at least at this stage, being diligent and frugal in managing the household and spending money prudently is still a problem that has to be faced.
After breakfast, everyone went to the so-called "resource exchange" together. []
The urban structure of Melinya is actually a very interesting and unique structure. Because of Melinya's special environment, Melinya's so-called urban space is actually made up of countless contiguous caves covering an area of ??about half a square kilometer.
If this is not the case, then the city may face the danger of ice collapse at any time. In fact, the current urban space was re-established after such a tragedy.
However, this kind of large space structure composed of countless small caves also has its good side. At least in terms of urban planning, it is much more regular than other ground-based cities. Rich areas, poor areas, commercial areas, etc. The division of functions such as areas is clear at a glance.
The location of the exchange is not in the cave where Wang Shentong and the others are now, but in the middle of another commercial district consisting of eight careful caves.
Although this so-called resource exchange is the only futures trading center in the entire Melinya, it does not look majestic here. At least, compared to the indomitable "Dead Guest" Hotel, the exchange can only be described as barely passable.
"Is this the exchange?" Wang Shentong, who jumped out of the car first, was really disappointed with the exchange that fell into his eyes.
The entire exchange occupies a large area, about 70,000 to 80,000 square meters, but it only has one floor, and there is no decoration on the outside. It is placed on the ground like an ugly box, but it looks majestic. Class vocabulary has nothing to do with it at all.
"Don't underestimate this exchange. Its annual transaction volume accounts for almost 80% of Melinya's smuggling volume." As Fangyuan, who is relatively familiar with Melinya here, probably also saw this exchange for the first time. Everyone was seriously confused and explained loudly. In fact, when Fangyuan saw this exchange for the first time, he felt this way in his heart.
"Eighty percent?" Fangyuan's introduction to the exchange really surprised Wang Shentong and the others. You know, Melinya can be said to be the most important node in the East Asian Federation's smuggling transactions with the United States Federation. Just think about it. This 80% transaction volume How amazing. However, this introduction only increased the doubts in everyone's mind. Since it is such an important place, it makes no sense to make it so simple: "With such a large transaction scale, why can't you be reluctant to do it well?"
"That's not the case." Fangyuan explained as he led everyone inside: "Although this exchange assumes a large number of intermediary obligations, it does not charge any intermediary fees. On the contrary, if someone arbitrarily tears down the He is also responsible for the recovery of the transactions received by the exchange, so naturally he has no money to spend on decorations.¡±
"Oh?" Fangyuan's explanation made Wang Shentong even more surprised. He didn't charge an intermediary fee and was still responsible for maintaining the validity of the transaction? Damn it, is the person who runs this agency named Lei Feng?
"Don't make such a fuss. The one who opened this trading center is the United States Federation." Xiao Luo explained quietly in Wang Shentong's ear, which made Wang Shentong understand a little bit.
Whether it is for its own needs or to control the market, the American Federation naturally needs this exchange to gather the greatest popularity. Naturally, it is even less likely to charge any fees.
However, after entering the hall, Wang Shentong was greatly surprised by the lively scene here. Compared with the scene outside where there were almost no people visible, the place was bustling with people, and even the temperature in the air seemed to have increased a lot.
Inside the hall, you can see trading terminals placed on the ground and completely wrapped in ice. The futures prices of various resources are constantly flashing on the screen.
"If you want to see the price, you can check it from this machine." Fangyuan showed Wang Shentong and the others how to use this machine very familiarly, and then gave up his position: "You guys watch first, I'll go Sign us up for a trading card.¡±
"Okay." Xiao Luo nodded. Without a trading card, he couldn't take the order. However, once the order is taken, if it cannot be completed, there are only two ways to go. One is to pay the fine, and the other is to I will no longer accept business from the exchange. But it is a pity that currently only Fangyuan's identity can withstand inspection, so he can only use his name to register the trading card first.
There are almost tens of thousands of resource types listed on the terminal. Wang Shentong and Xiao Luo looked at them for a while, and then they felt a little dizzy.
These more than 10,000 kinds of things need to be removedMost of the goods in the store are things that Wang Shentong and Xiao Luo have never heard of. Moreover, the weirder the names, the smaller the quantities required, such as iron ore. Wang Shentong and the others knew that the amount needed was indeed staggering.
"Sister Xiao, it's wrong." After flipping through the pages, Wang Shentong finally raised his head and asked.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Luo was at the side. He was already dizzy and looked away from the screen.
"This price." Wang Shentong pointed to one of the iron ore orders for delivery in one month: "Look, the price above is 4,500 credits per ton."
"What's wrong with this?" Xiao Luo looked at the column Wang Shentong was pointing at. Before and after this column, there were also iron ore orders. One of them, the price was 4550, and the order for delivery in the next two months , but the price is only 4,300. But in general, the price of 4500 is also in the middle.
Wang Shentong spread his hands helplessly: "I don't know if this price is right, but the problem is, we don't know what the current purchase price of iron ore is."
"Uh" This question left Xiao Luo a little speechless. He had never been in this business before, so it was natural that he didn't know the purchase price.
"How about, wait until Fangyuan comes back and ask him first." Leng Qian intervened and suggested.
Xiao Luo and Wang Shentong could only nod. At present, that was all they could do. However, it would be a complete tragedy if Fangyuan said something they didn't know later. However, judging from the fact that Fangyuan was only a captain responsible for transporting cargo before, this possibility is quite high.
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have killed the guy who was following the boat." At this time, Xiao Luo felt deep regret in his heart. Compared with Fangyuan, the possibility of that guy knowing this should be much greater.
However, at this moment, Wang Shentong suddenly shouted in surprise: "Damn, Sister Xiao, do you think this thing is so expensive?" Wang Shentong pointed to a transaction order on the screen, his expression was very exaggerated.
"Well, what?" Now not only Xiao Luo, but also Leng Qian and Liu Yue, who looked bored, all moved their heads over curiously.
On the screen, what Wang Shentong pointed at was an order for delivery in three months. The name of the product was "Hiro Crystal". It only required one ton, but the purchase price indicated was ~~
"Six zeros, seven zeros, eight zeros, nine zeros, two hundred million~~~~?" Even Liu Yue's eyes widened at this time. Two hundred million, what is this concept? This is equivalent to Wang You can buy four of the cargo ships Shentong and the others redeemed from Maxim, uh, and they're brand new.
"Damn, why didn't we encounter a spaceship transporting this before?" Once converted, this huge amount of money made even Liu Yue couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "What the hell is this? Who knows what it is? "
To be honest, Liu Yue just asked casually and didn't expect anyone in their group to really know what it was. It was just like anyone who suddenly saw something with an outrageous price tag would subconsciously Ask what this thing is. However, Liu Yuedao really asked the right question this time.
"This, I think I should have heard of it." Chen Mo's voice came over with some lack of confidence.
"Huh?" Then, everyone stared at this guy: "What is it? Come on, tell me."
"Well, I'm not sure." Chen Mo shrank his neck a little guilty: "As far as I know, this "Hilo Crystal" is an additive used to make superconducting rail guns for mechas. It can increase the initial velocity of projectiles by about 30%. Only our East Asia Alliance can produce it, but" Chen Mo's expression looked a little confused.
"But what?"
"This thing has limited uses and a small amount. Therefore, I remember that in the East Asia Alliance, the price is not too high, and the amount of about one ton is almost all the needs for a year. Here it is enough It's too strange to ask for a ton." Chen Mo shook his head, looking quite confused.
"Are you sure?" Xiao Luo asked anxiously after hearing what Chen Mo said.
"This, logically speaking, I should remember correctly." Chen Mo thought for a while: "How about I go back and check online?"
"Check it. By the time you finish it, the day lily will be cold." Xiao Luo slapped Chen Mo on the back, and then said to Liu Yue: "Hurry up and ask Fangyuan to bring the trading card. We will take this order." ¡±
"Uh, do we really accept it?" Liu Yue was a little unsure. If he bought such an order according to Chen Mo's words, it would be like pie in the sky. It would be like giving money for free. It is so good that people can't believe it.
"Nonsense, no answer, no answer, hurry up,Otherwise, it would be too late for people to stop crying. "Xiao Luo urged in a low voice.
Faced with such an order, it would be a complete lie to say that you are not tempted, but for some reason, it always makes people feel that there is something wrong with it.
