Chapter 113 - 72 The Guest of the Space Station and the Distribution of Interests_4

If it’s military weapons, the price can be three to four times higher.

And the price for recycling compared to the normal selling price of new weapons is negligible.

This is because the profit from refurbishing weapons acquired through Chen Ming is almost equal to the value of the weapon itself.

Suppose the average value of weapons sold by the maintenance factory in a day is two hundred thousand, and they can sell fifty weapons in a day.

Then, in one day, that’s nearly ten million in pure profit.

Actually, it might even be more.

The Pirate Space Station is very dynamic, and the Edge Star Realm is extremely dangerous, making ships and weapons a necessity.

The daily volume of weapon sales will only increase, not decrease.

Moreover, there’s no need for Chen Ming to refurbish small, worthless weapons.

Refurbishing military weapons and medium weapons is definitely a better choice.

Although these two categories sell relatively slowly, the profits are undoubtedly higher than those of lower-grade weapons.

Know that on good days, the maintenance factory’s daily revenue usually ranges from forty to fifty million, and on the slowest days, around several million.

Chen Ming alone can rival half the maintenance factory, which is quite remarkable.

After all, buying weapons from suppliers and then selling them earns at most ten percent of the selling price per weapon.

It’s nothing like the refurbished weapons Chen Ming produces, which net over ninety percent profit on the selling price.

The practical profit margin is ten times greater.

The factory director calmed his somewhat excited emotions and said, "How about we split the final profits fifty-fifty?"

Chen Ming considered it briefly.

The Space Station’s role would be to provide sales channels and sources of second-hand weapons, as well as use their connections to obtain weapon factory codes.

These are things Chen Ming absolutely cannot accomplish on his own, so fifty percent seems fair.

So he readily agreed, "No problem, do we need to sign a contract?"

"No need, just treat it as one of your regular jobs. I’ll give you a list of the refurbished weapons later, and you can see their destinations and selling prices."

"You’re in this domain, so you’d surely know the weapon prices, and your share won’t be small."

They settled the weapon refurbishment matter.

Chen Ming didn’t hurry to leave but continued speaking to the factory director, "There’s one more thing, Director, I want to get fake identification codes for a few ships."

"That’s easy. Just find Old Wu, and he’ll handle it for you."

Chen Ming hesitated and said, "The ships I want fake identification codes for are a bit troublesome; there’s a Dusk Ship involved."

"Dusk Ship?"

The factory director pondered and said, "It’s not impossible. Some people elsewhere have collected such things for private collections."

"I’ll help you get in touch. It might take some time to sort it out, and the cost will definitely differ from that of other ships."

"I understand. I don’t lack funds for now."

The director nodded slightly, then curiously asked, "Are you keeping the Dusk Ship to take back, hoping to see if its AI Core can be controlled and used for navigation?"

"No."

Chen Ming flatly denied it, but the factory director continued as if he didn’t hear, "If you really want to do such things, I suggest you do it here."

"If you return to the Prosperous Star Realm, the Patrol Team might sweep through now and then, and if your AI Core gets detected, it will definitely be confiscated."

Chen Ming said nothing, and the factory director didn’t mind. Seeing Chen Ming still didn’t look like he was about to leave, he asked, "Do you have any other matters?"

"Yes."

Chen Ming affirmed, "Aside from the Dusk Ship, I also want identification codes for two military ships."

"Equipped with militarized subsystems?"

"Something like that, basically military ships."
