System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 654 - 303: "23256!" (Request for monthly votes)_6
"..."
Chen Mang’s eyes narrowed slightly, calculating.
"Apart from the locomotive, there are 108 carriages in total. Assuming 8 of them are used for storing supplies, that’s 100 carriages, enabling the availability of 800 suites, with each suite charged at 30 million."
"So that means, one trip could earn 24 billion?"
"Besides the cost of the train itself, are there any other costs? What about customer acquisition costs?"
Zhou Shen began to explain: "Yes, the armed trains next to us are providing escort services. Apart from that, there’s also customer acquisition costs. In any industry, acquiring customers is the highest cost, especially with such high-net-worth clients, who are mostly obtained through long-term accumulation, maintenance, and referrals."
"The higher the net worth of the client, the more likely they are to accept a recommendation from a friend."
"On the one hand, it’s about trusting their friends."
"On the other, it’s about having common topics of conversation in their social circle."
"External specifics of the costs are unclear, but the profits should not be low. One trip could probably earn around 10 billion, as many suites are given away to some people due to the company’s networking needs, etc."
"..."
Chen Mang silently looked out the window at the train that was gradually being left behind and said nothing.
He suddenly realized.
On "Water Blue Star," mining was almost his only means of acquiring iron ore.
When leaving Water Blue Star, his sudden wealth also came from the "Mine Star."
The same mining.
But after coming to—
the "Kasha Civilization Federation," it became very difficult to mine, as the minerals on the planets were all official, and private mining was forbidden; there was not a single Mine Star in the surrounding star system.
But...
There were more ways to earn from the Mine Star, with people from various industries getting rich.
These people, without the crisis of Doomsday.
Were really willing to spend.
Taking 30 million units of iron ore, not to upgrade their trains, but just for a trip.
He once thought that the "Mechanical Civilization" princess Tuo Tuo was wasting resources, not contributing to the front lines yet consuming so much iron ore, but seeing these people, he realized that they were the real waste.
If...
If he could get involved in all these lucrative industries, he could make fortunes faster than before.
With the stark contrast in wealth disparity, making money from the rich is easier.
He has unique products and decent strength, and this way he could completely hide in the background, quietly gathering resources and upgrading his train without drawing the resources of the "Kasha Civilization."
Until!
The day the paper over the cracks is torn.
"Jimei Tourism Company..."
Chen Mang whispered to himself, repeating the name several times, memorizing it in his heart. He wasn’t planning on entering a new industry from scratch, as that would be too troublesome and time-consuming; he wanted something straightforward and effective.
To create a profit group led by the Constant Star.
With everyone making resources for him.
The future plans gradually became clear, with the first stop being to go to the cultivation civilization "Black Tortoise Star" to take a glimpse and open his market there, also making a name for himself!
He wasn’t sure what level the strongest trains of the Kasha Civilization and Insect Race Civilization were.
But he made some calculations.
With 500-level armor, he would basically be totally secure.
Before developing his armor to level 500 and upgrading all the components to level 500, he wouldn’t come out of hiding, keeping his head down was not about being timid, but about storing up strength.
...
Several hours later.
The Constant Star Train entered the atmosphere of "Black Tortoise Planet" and landed at a Train Pier.
While waiting in line to enter.
Chen Mang saw the city outside the window full of tall buildings and neon lights with some surprise: "Isn’t this a cultivation civilization? Why does it look like a cyber city?"
"Uh..."
Zhou Shen spoke softly to explain: "It wasn’t like this before, but after civilization trade became overly frequent, many things changed subtly. The current cultivation civilization might not look like what you usually see in storybooks, Master Mang."
Just then—
He noticed a very long train slowly landing at the Train Pier, queuing to depart, it was precisely the luxurious train of "Jimei Tourism Company."
"Very interesting."
Several minutes later.
The Constant Star Train had already left the "Train Pier," heading briskly toward the closest city in the sky, along the way frequently seeing cultivators performing Sword Flight with great ease.
Zhou Shen continued to introduce things beside him.
"Master Mang."
"Black Tortoise Star isn’t unified, the strongest forces are the five major sects and three families. This city was jointly built by these eight forces and is strictly controlled. All cultivators entering this city will have their cultivation locked to ensure the absolute safety of tourists."
"But once outside this city, it’s best to stay inside the train and not be exposed outside the train."
"Although there aren’t many cases of serious incidents, they do exist. Generally speaking, many visitors will stay in this city most of the time, and then take a sightseeing car to other corners of Black Tortoise Star to explore the internal situations of the various cultivation sects."
"Very interesting."
Chen Mang sat in the chair with great interest, looking at this scene unfolding before him. He liked the feeling of different civilizations colliding together, always producing some random things. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
He wasn’t worried about his own safety.
He simply didn’t want to expose his strength, aiming for a low profile development.
If it really came down to strength competition.
These nearly ten thousand Level 1 Civilizations couldn’t threaten him at all.
"However..."
He pointed to the female cultivator in red performing Sword Flight above: "Why does she keep flying back and forth?"
"Uh..."
Zhou Shen hesitated for a moment, unsure how to explain.
"Let me explain."
Standing nearby, Zhang Qiudao stepped forward to explain: "The eight major forces on Black Tortoise Star have jointly established a Bureau of Cultural Tourism, aiming to showcase cultivation elements to visitors within this city as much as possible; these cultivators flying back and forth hold a performance element."
"It allows everyone to immerse themselves more deeply into this city."
"Bureau of Cultural Tourism?"
"Yes, yes."
"After all, those willing to join such long-distance tourism tend to spend lavishly, in recent years, it has become one of the main sources of income for the eight forces."
