The Star Gazers, being the top-tier spaceship, offers highly personalized configuration options, which can drive the final price up to several tis the list price!
Generally, people who buy these spaceships carefully select their configurations. They understand the principle of "you get what you pay for," but cost-effectiveness is also crucial. If you spend a lot of money but the performance only improves slightly, it's not very aningful.
After all, money doesn't just grow on trees in this world, except for Zhang nglong!
"Sir, are you sure? Because there are 32 more personalized customization sections available. If you choose the highest-priced options for all of them, the total price will be much higher than this base price."
"You go ahead and calculate it for ," Zhang nglong said nonchalantly. No matter how expensive it is, at worst he could earn it back in a minute, right?
Aninas quickly operated her terminal, but in her heart, she'd already put Zhang nglong in the list of clients with neither spending power nor potential.
This is buying a spaceship, not groceries. Even when buying a peach at a supermarket, you'd at least check if it's soft or hard, right? How could soone seriously buying a spaceship be so casual?
She believed that once he saw the final price, Zhang nglong would definitely back out on the spot, so she selected the most expensive options as he requested!
"Sir, with all configurations at top-level, the current landing price of the entire spaceship is 425 trillion Cosmic Coins!"
"Not expensive at all!"
"Not expensive?" Aninas' already large eyes almost popped out of her head. How many wealthy individuals had been scared off by this quote over the centuries, yet Zhang nglong said it's not expensive?
This guy is too good at pretending, isn't he? Will he really have the money to pay at the mont?
Zhang nglong glanced at his extrely antiquated-looking tir—in Aninas' eyes, a wristwatch. From the ti he entered this company, it had already been over ten minutes, and he should have made enough money for several Star Gazers by now, right?
"Alright, let's proceed as planned. I want it in that cool midnight purple color sche," Zhang nglong had long taken a liking to this color, "Do I transfer the paynt directly?"
"What?" Aninas was montarily stunned. What's happening? Is he really going to pay now? Could her judgnt have been wrong?
"Sir, our procedure is like this. The company first collects a deposit, then queues your order at the factory. Once your order is up, you then pay the remaining balance. During this process, the deposit is refundable and you can modify the configuration information anyti."
"That's pretty considerate," Zhang nglong remarked. Actually, many car or real estate companies on Earth operate this way. This deposit is usually much higher than a down paynt but cos with many benefits.
Because these deposits are high and stay with the company for a long ti, they are often used as investnt by large companies and have a certain return rate. Even if refunded later, the interest still belongs to the company.
"How much deposit do I need to pay?"
"The deposit for this model is about 10% of the base configuration price, which ans you need to pay 10 trillion Cosmic Coins. Before the official production, your order can be modified or canceled."
"Alright, let's just go ahead and pay!"
A Level Five civilization's company is indeed impressive. A full-system paynt popup appeared before Zhang nglong. Once he confird the authorization and entered the password, the paynt would be complete.
"Paynt complete!"
With 10 trillion Cosmic Coins transferred, Aninas finally confird that this man was indeed an extraordinarily low-key millionaire!
Usually, when negotiating a deal, clients would at least go back and forth for a long ti, not to ntion a test drive. This client didn't even test drive; the whole process from viewing the spaceship to placing the deposit was less than half a Cosmic Hour!
This type of person either has a big heart or so much money that they don't worry about spending it!
"Please wait, I'll check the account!"
Aninas entered her work system, and sure enough, a deposit had already arrived in her company account.
"Employee number HF7557, your company account has received a 10 trillion Cosmic Coins deposit. This account is a five-star user of the Cosmic Bank, a top-level custor. Please carefully maintain the custor relationship!"
"A five-star user of the Cosmic Bank!?" Aninas was dumbfounded.
Due to business reasons, they had so cooperation with the Cosmic Bank. For each custor transaction, they could see the client's star rating at the bank to assess their quality and spending potential.
Up until now, Aninas had encountered several star-rated users. After all, people who co to buy usually start at big figures from Level Three civilizations, and it's common to see Level Five civilization lords.
But these people were at most one-star users, and two-star cases were rare. There had never been any five-star users before!
After all, five-star users are practically big-shot figures. Who would co to buy a spaceship in person?
"Mr... Sir, we have received your deposit." For the first ti facing such a five-star user, Aninas didn't even know how to speak.
Honestly, people like her fantasize about getting close to big shots and rising through the ranks. In fact, many employees at the company wouldn't mind having sothing with these wealthy clients.
But those people are usually one or two-star users, whereas five-star users are almost mythical figures.
For instance, a girl might dream of marrying a wealthy individual, but when an Emperor appears before her, her mind is blank. That's Aninas' current state.
"Is there anything else I need to do?" Zhang nglong continued to ask.
"Sir, lastly, you need to choose the spaceship's material," Aninas tried to calm herself, "Our spaceship currently uses Nigel Alloy, the highest-grade alloy for combat spaceships."
"How's the defensive power?"
"It can ignore all thermal weapon attacks from a Level Five Advanced Civilization and even withstand a full-strength attack from a Level Six Life Form."
"Is there anything better?" Zhang nglong inquired.
As a chronic show-off, he was constantly walking the line of showing off, risking getting beaten to death. While an alloy capable of withstanding a full-strength attack from a Level Six Life Form was impressive, it still fell short of his expectations.
"Of course, we do," Aninas brought up a list, "We also offer Martial Weapons-grade tal materials, though the price might be quite exaggerated."
Zhang nglong took a glance and directly scrolled to the bottom of the list.
"Source Alloy? What is this?"
"It's a product of the Big Bang, currently known to be the most durable and stable natural alloy in Cosmic Civilization. Even the top-level civilizations cannot artificially refine this alloy."
"Wow, sothing sold by the gram?" Zhang nglong exclaid, "1 gram costs 80,000 Cosmic Coins, this thing is comparable to a whole civilized planet!"
"Yes sir, the production of Source Alloy is originally very limited. Usually, this tal is added to Martial Weapons as reinforcent material and sold. Even a tiny percentage significantly enhances the weapon's power."
"Sounds really impressive," Zhang nglong concluded decisively, "Let's use that then!"
"Are you sure?" Aninas confird repeatedly, "According to the Star Gazers' specification, the most suitable Source Alloy ratio requires approximately 1.5%. For a million-ton Star Gazers, you need at least ten thousand tons of Source Alloy."
"Currently, the market price of Source Alloy is 80,000 Cosmic Coins, which ans 800 trillion Cosmic Coins. Adding your base configuration, the total price is around 12 stars."
"Still cheap," Zhang nglong nodded, "Can I get it made with 100% Source Alloy? I have no shortage of money!"
