A few kilometers away.
Mr. Ghost, who Yang Fan had transformed into, was reading today's summarized information brief.
Although the document was titled "brief," the page count exceeded 200 pages.
After all, Great Xia is such a large country, countless events happen domestically every day.
Picking out important events among them, along with major happenings in the world, compiling more than 200 pages is completely expected.
Initially, Yang Fan would read diligently, but now he usually skims through most of the information titles without spending time on the content.
He only reads in detail major affairs or information that interests him.
Civilization trade is the main focus today, so it occupies quite a significant number of pages in the report, with more than 30 pages dedicated to related content.
"...The profits from civilization trade are astonishingly high.
"The aid from such trade to a civilization world is comparable to installing a rocket as a booster.
"War Fist One unit price is 3.6 million Xia Yuan, War Fist Two unit price is 8.8 million Xia Yuan. Though the price doesn't seem high, the profit is actually amazing.
"Due to a super large-scale procurement of 5 million sets, costs were lowered to the extreme.
"According to calculations, producing the War Fist Series Exoskeleton requires building more than 200 factories, with fixed asset investment no less than 200 billion Xia Yuan.
"When this part of the investment is converted into the unit price, the average cost per set of War Fist Exoskeleton is only slightly above 40,000.
"Adding materials, manpower, logistics, management, and a series of costs, the cost of War Fist One is only 620,000, while War Fist Two reaches 1.14 million.
"Based on this, the profit margins are 83% and 87% respectively.
"In the current competitive military trade on Canglan Star, conventional weapons profit margins are usually 20% to 30%, while high-end weapons exceed 50%, but large-scale procurement cannot maintain such high profits.
"This time, the trade with Iron Fist Civilization is so substantial, yet the profit margins remain so high, which is quite rare.
"The above is just the profit from the manufacturing side; there's another profit not calculated.
"During negotiations, Iron Fist People offered to provide some exotic materials to lower prices, which would be used to manufacture core components, enhancing the performance of the Exoskeleton.
"The quantity of exotic materials we quoted was about 30% more than the actual requirement.
"These are materials that Canglan Civilization currently cannot acquire, and the excess exotic materials' value will significantly exceed the production cost of the Exoskeleton.
"In conclusion, the actual profit margins from this trade are expected to reach 220% to 230%.
"That is, goods sold to Iron Fist People for 100 Xia Yuan will ultimately generate a profit of over 220 Xia Yuan.
"If calculated by cost, it's equivalent to goods with a 1 yuan cost bringing in 22 yuan of profit, which is a 22-fold gain."
Yang Fan couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
It must be said that civilization trade is where both parties feel they have made a considerable profit, with both sides being very satisfied, making them willing to proceed to the next step of the trade.
This is because there is no competition between the trade parties, but rather significant complementarity given the different types of civilizations.
Yang Fan scanned through the civilization trade brief quickly.
Due to it being the first trade, Iron Fist Civilization was very cautious, purchasing only 5 million sets of War Fist Series Exoskeleton.
Despite Great Xia showcasing quite a bit of equipment and Iron Fist People being interested in many weapons, they did not place further orders.
Great Xia, on the other hand, purchased a massive amount of exotic materials measured in "tons."
Over 90% of which are first level exotic materials, with a small amount of second level exotic materials.
The list doesn't include third level exotic materials, as their lower limit is equivalent to High Rank Warrior, and the upper limit is equal to Early stage Knight, Iron Fist People don't have enough of their own, so of course they wouldn't trade them.
Most of the exotic materials in this trade are things Xia People have never encountered before, with specific uses still unclear, requiring further expert research.
However, it is certain that these exotic materials are all good things.
As long as they are thoroughly researched, Great Xia could once again see a burst in Black Technology.
Yang Fan finished reading the brief, and his mind slightly stirred.
A lavish ornament the size of an adult hand, shaped like a small shield, appeared in mid-air out of thin air.
It was entirely carved from a peculiar red crystal.
Inside the crystal seemed to burn with flames, surrounded by a faint red glow, looking extremely brilliant.
This was a gift from the Guardian of Iron Fist Civilization.
Its manufacturing material is a third level exotic material, also a specialty of the Iron Fist Civilization, called - Brilliant Fire Crystal.
According to Iron Fist People's introduction, among the World Group belonging to Iron Fist Civilization, only three civilizations produce Brilliant Fire Crystal, which is quite popular in various civilization worlds.

On the other side.
Gabalabas asked another question: "I've heard Canglan Civilization has a strong figure named 'Spirit Crow.' How strong is this person?"
Gaba Muda thought for a moment and replied: "Canglan Spirit Crow is a very mysterious figure. I've been in Canglan Civilization for several months and have never seen Canglan Spirit Crow, only his subordinate Spirit Crow.
"But personally, I speculate that Canglan Spirit Crow's strength should be comparable to Canglan Ghost."
Gabalabas paused and asked: "Is there evidence?"
Gaba Muda immediately provided an example: "I heard about an incident where Canglan Spirit Crow once teleported a very large Tree Spirit over eight thousand kilometers away."
Gabalabas was astonished: "That powerful?!"
Gaba Muda nodded and said: "Though unaware of Canglan Spirit Crow's Equal Rank, that's definitely a Knight Level method."
