527 Something Pricy Will Still Be Snatched Up
They were going to earn thirty billion in just three days, which was crazy!
Hence, continuous supply of Wu Mo’s all-purpose modules became an urgent problem.
“No problem, I’ll handle the modules,” Wu Mo said thoughtfully. “But now, we have to raise the price. Two billion is too cheap!”
What the hell?!
Cheap?
The officer widened his eyes in disbelief.
Two billion per module was supposed to be cheap?
However, since it came from Wu Mo’s mouth, he would listen to his arrangements.
“In that case, how much do you plan on selling it now?” the officer asked tentatively.
Wu Mo held up five fingers without hesitation.
“What? Five billion?”
That’s right, five billion.
Since countries had already purchased it, they would soon discover its magic.
When that happened, two billion yuan would probably be a steal.
If he did not raise the price now, when would be the best time?
He was not raising the price on the spot. After all, the right to buy was still in the hands of others.
Wu Mo could operate his exclusive business however he wanted.
It was normal to raise prices, especially when production was difficult.
In reality, it was a win-win situation for Wu Mo.
Every time he sold a module and it was installed in a mech, he would receive a generous amount of points.
He could foresee that in the future, every country in the world would have at least one mech with a built-in all-purpose module.
At that time, mechs would sweep the sea monsters off the planet.
In the process, his system points would shoot up into the sky like a rocket!
Wu Mo realized that he was not making the all-purpose modules as fast as before. The reason was that he had been spending a huge number of points to develop the mech with human-machine integration.
However, with its completion, he believed that the speed of all-purpose module production would definitely increase.
Not long after, Wu Mo completed another ten modules.
However, after they made the five-billion-yuan price tag public, the world was shocked!
“Heavens! What the hell is China doing? Are they blinded by the temptation of money?”
“That’s right! Five billion? What are they thinking? Why don’t they just rob us?”
“Haha, this is even more ruthless than robbery! You can choose to buy it or not, but many countries have already bought it. Would the rest be bold enough to miss out?”
They were preying on such helplessness. The others had already bought it, so one would suffer losses if one did not buy it too!
However, buying the same thing as the others was going to cost them an extra three billion!
Therefore, the countries that did not purchase it in the first round gritted their teeth in hatred and regret.
Why had they not acted decisively back then?
Now, it was five billion yuan!
Panic began to fill their hearts. If they did not buy it now, would it rise to ten billion?
The price of the all-purpose module would only rise and not fall.
In the end, if other countries were equipped with mechs while their own country was helpless before the sea monsters, what should they do?
Would they have to ask other countries for help?
Thus, an unimaginable thing happened: Wu Mo doubled the number of all-purpose modules, but the number of countries that purchased them increased drastically as well.
In the blink of an eye, fifty countries responded in succession and competed to buy it!
“Hahaha, Wu Mo, you’re a business genius! We’ve received 250-billion-yuan’s worth of orders in an instant. It’s unbelievable!”
An ecstatic officer went straight to the laboratory.
Wu Mo smiled and nodded. This was exactly what he had expected.
Right then, he was surprised to find that with support from the system points, his speed in creating all-purpose modules had increased greatly!
At this rate, every country could have at least one module.
He believed that some countries had tasted the sweetness of the all-purpose module and would definitely buy it again.
Since coastal countries had long coastlines, one mech was far from enough.
Three mechs were not enough to cover China’s southeastern coast, so Wu Mo was always developing mechs with human-machine integration.
Similarly, other countries would continue to develop their second and third mechs once their first ones were successfully developed. Therefore, they needed more all-purpose modules!
This meant that Wu Mo’s business could continue until the market was almost saturated.
…
A month later, a coastal country excitedly announced to the world that they had finally developed a real mech!
After actual combat testing, this mech could defeat a strong enemy that was ranked thirtieth on the sea monster list.
This news shocked the entire world!
After China’s mech, another country had successfully developed a combat mech.
When Kaiyuan was brought up again, everyone could not help but shake their heads and laugh.
Although Kaiyuan was famous, it was just a steel box that had been turned into scrap metal by a sea monster.
However, this newly-developed mech could be considered a true combat machine.
Although it was not as powerful as Battle God and Zero, it was more than sufficient to deal with ordinary sea monsters.
This was enough for the coastal country because the threats it faced from abroad were not big. The sea monsters that occasionally invaded were ordinary.
After it had a taste of the benefits, the country immediately purchased five more all-purpose modules to manufacture five mechs.
“This business is huge! If they’re asking for five at once, won’t they have six mechs?”
When the officer learned of this, he immediately went to see Wu Mo.
“If there’s a demand, we’ll supply. I can provide as much as they want!” Wu Mo was full of confidence.
He was not worried that the number of mechs in these countries would surpass that of China.
Their strength was rather low. Their crude manufacturing would not threaten Zero and Battle God, let alone China’s most advanced human-machine integrated mech.
Therefore, Wu Mo raised the all-purpose module’s price to six billion; it was an increase of one billion.
“What? Six billion?”
When they learned that Wu Mo had raised the price again, the Chinese military officers felt a little guilty.
However, it was Wu Mo’s decision, and they could only respect it.
The country would now have to fork out an additional five billion to buy an all-purpose module.
However, they did not hesitate to fork out thirty billion to buy five all-purpose modules, and they did not feel cheated at all.
On the contrary, they happily imagined how the entire country would have six battle mechs in the near future.
More importantly, they would become the second mech powerhouse after China. This made their country famous all over the world and attracted countless people to admire their mech.
In response, other countries followed suit and yearned to own similar mechs to fight for the third, fourth, or fifth place!
At this critical point, Wu Mo decided to raise the price again.
“Wu Mo, I’m afraid that you can’t keep raising the price. Some countries won’t be able to afford it!”
When the old chief learned about it, he approached Wu Mo and spoke to him.
Wu Mo pondered for a moment and replied, “Chief, the market for all-purpose modules is completely open. We don’t have to worry about not being able to sell them. Countries with money will buy them, and those that can’t afford it will just watch.”
What a joke. Wu Mo had personally developed the module. If this was not a charity, why should he accommodate their needs?
Just as he said, if a country was powerful, it would buy the module. If it was not, it would not buy the model. It was that simple!
Besides, who would not be willing to spend such a sum if they were facing a force that could topple a country?
Some countries just preferred to take advantage of others instead of paying.
Meanwhile, the all-purpose module, which was now priced at eight billion yuan, was snatched up. Forty countries placed orders one after another, and it was mind-boggling!
