The original idea was to go to Xandar first, and then ask if there was a caravan going to Asgard or other planets in the Milky Way to do business, and spend some money to buy a ticket for a ride. In the end, either wait until Asgard, borrow their rainbow bridge to return to Earth, or take off on a planet in the Milky Way, and go back to Earth directly in their own spherical single-person spaceship.

In all fairness, Shi Xiaolei's plan is still very detailed. Except that it may take some time to find a caravan on the same road, which is a small variable, there are no major loopholes left in other links.

But now...

"Bonas, are these spaceships yours?" Looking at the spaceships in different styles and sizes, Shi Xiaolei looked at the boss next to him in surprise: "Or, besides being an acquisition Are you still in the business of repairing spaceships?”

Bonas, the alien boss with six arms, comes from a planet named Tantara. His hometown is very far away from Xandar, and few people come here to develop their careers.

Just like the group of people who went abroad to work hard in the 1970s and 1980s, Bonas also came to the distant Xandar star because he was not reconciled to the status quo and wanted to make a bigger name.

Full of ambition, Bonas worked hard.

"Half and half."

Holding on to the railing of the platform, he looked at the busy employees in the warehouse below. The squeak of polishing sounds like the most beautiful piece of music to Bonas. The sparks scattered in all directions are as charming as the most beautiful starry sky.

"Among these spaceships, I received half of them from the guests. Some of them were maintained by others... On Xandar, if you want to live more comfortably, you must find a way to make more money. A bit. Hehe, although the income is not much, it is still an income. Uh, I refer to those earned from the maintenance business. If you can refurbish the returned spaceship better, and meet someone who just wants to buy a spaceship Customers, the income is quite good."

"So, in addition to maintenance, you also did a business of selling second-hand spaceships?" Shi Xiaolei didn't take it to heart when he said it, and asked casually: "Then how do you sell your spaceships here? It should be Much cheaper than new ones, right?"

"Huh?" The speaker was not interested in the listener, Shi Xiaolei's words immediately touched Bonas's nerves: "Brother Locke, do you have a business to take care of me? Do you want to buy it yourself, or do you want to buy it for me?" Someone else asked? If you are asking for someone else, then I can only give you a market price. If you want to buy it yourself... Hehe, for the sake of our happy cooperation this time, emmm, I can call you 10% off."

"For example, that one." As he spoke, he stretched out an arm and pointed to a small swallow-shaped spaceship that was closer and looked like it was about to be repaired. Bonas introduced very smoothly: "Look at it You should be able to guess where it comes from. Yes, it is a 'comet' produced in Holukar. Although the style is a bit old, because it is a spaceship dedicated to Holukar nobles, it The equipment on it is quite advanced.”

"The functions of automatic navigation and traversing wormholes are the most basic. It is also equipped with the sleep cabin necessary for long-distance travel, and the recreation room used to relieve mental stress. In addition, if you encounter danger during the journey, it also has An escape pod that can be separated in an instant. Oh, by the way, these are all included with it, if you have other needs, I can also provide customized services here."

"How much the cost of the custom service part depends on how high your requirements are. If you insist on installing a newest curvature engine, the cost will definitely not be low. But if your requirements are not High, just want to add some daily equipment, the cost is actually very cheap.”

"I guess, it's about 1,000 credits. Uh, didn't I say the selling price of this ship? Sorry, I was sloppy. Emmm, if you don't consider the cost of the custom part, just now In this state, this ship, you can drive away as long as you come up with this number."

While speaking, Bonas stretched out two arms towards Shi Xiaolei.

One slap was spread out completely, and the other slap was closed halfway. Each slap has four fingers, adding up to six.

"Six hundred thousand credits?" Shi Xiaolei blinked and guessed a number.

"...Are you kidding me?" Bonas rolled the whites of his four eyes at the same time: "It's just a small spaceship, how could I charge such a high price. Dude, I have always been serious in business, never Will do that kind of black-hearted business."

"Sir, Boss Bonas said it should be 60,000 credits." Lilima, who had been by her side all the time, couldn't help interjecting at this moment~lightnovelpub.net~ vaguely, I remember that in the original plot, the rocket or the star-lord once mentioned the price of a small spaceship. But because those conversations didn't play a role in promoting the plot, Shi Xiaolei didn't remember the number they said at that time.

But even so, Shi Xiaolei was still very surprised by the offer made by Bonas.

"Sixty thousand?"

"That's right, it's affordable enough." Meeting Shi Xiaolei's skeptical gaze, Bonas smiled triumphantly: "If you go to other places, 60,000 credits can't buy a 'comet' of such good quality. In fact, Also produced in Holukar, the 'Meteor' which is one level lower than it, if it can reach 80% new like mine, it will cost 50,000 to 60,000 credits to buy."

Is the price of 60,000 credits expensive?

If you compare the market situation objectively, it can be about 5% lower than the average price.

Although there is only a 5% discount, the degree of profit sharing is not as big as Bonas's performance, but it is still appropriate to describe it as a benefit.

Of course, this level of discount is still a little bit lighter for a customer who is already full of consumption intentions and thinking about buying a spaceship... Maybe it will make them feel a little bit moved, but It is not enough to let them make a purchase decision immediately with the final word.

In other words, the point of being tempted is not the 5% discount, but the difference between the customer's psychological limit and the offer. Or to put it more bluntly, it is how much money the customer has in his pocket, and how much the value of the 60,000 credits can account for compared to his net worth.

Coincidentally, Shi Xiaolei had just completed the transaction with Bonas, and a large amount of credit was transferred into the account.
