In the study room of the store, the female secretary smiled wryly and confirmed with the shop owner.
Not long ago, the female swordsman who returned from the mountain patrol broke into the bathhouse to seek advice from Gu Chen. After learning the news, the female secretary rushed to check in a panic, and then she persuaded Feiyan and the monsters to be taken away from the bathhouse and let the master of her own bathhouse
I was able to get rid of the dilemma of sitting and shivering in the wind, put on my clothes and went to the study.
He originally went to take a bath to eliminate fatigue, but the unexpected situation actually consumed extra energy. No wonder Gu Chen fell on the desk exhausted at this moment, as if he only had the strength left to sigh.
"Feiyan has the kind of upright warrior character. She has no ill intentions." Looking at the boss, the female secretary smiled bitterly and comforted her. "But no matter what, you shouldn't just run in to the house of an unmarried girl.
...Uh, a place for men to bathe.”
"That's right..." Gu Chen tilted his head and sighed. "I asked a little bit. It is said that the Thunder Sect has a hot spring. It is very common for me to rub each other's backs and wash hair after practicing sword practice with my senior sisters. I am probably used to it.
Come on..."
"Just, even so, there are still differences between men and women, right?" Wu Zhen pointed out with a slight blush.
There is a huge difference in the etiquette between men and women between a female swordsman who practices in a rough environment and a female secretary who comes from a noble family. Wu Zhen cannot be like Fei Yan in any case. In fact, just recalling
The sight of Gu Chen's mother-in-law in the bathhouse was enough to make the female clerk blush to this day.
"Anyway, I will remind her to pay attention in the future."
Wu Zhen secretly determined to teach female swordsmen the common sense of male and female etiquette.
As an assistant officer, of course she has the authority to ensure the smooth operation of personnel in the workshop, but she cannot focus all her attention on this aspect. Wu Zhen took a few documents from the desk, glanced at the signatures in unique handwriting on them, and revealed a slight expression.
Surprised look.
"Sir, have you read the armored car rental document?"
"Ah, yes, I'm just a little scared by the amount."
Gu Chen raised his head slightly.
This time, the consular office sent envoys to Kinoji, and Gokubo provided assistance in the form of renting armored vehicles. Because the rental contract initially initialed was based on a daily fee, Kinoji was delayed for more than a week due to various commotions.
, the result is that the price is quite scary.
When we conquered Chaos Ruins, Gewufang made its first pot of gold by selling elixirs. If I remember correctly, the rental of armored vehicles this time was almost three times the turnover when we conquered Chaos Ruins!?
The civil servants in charge of the Liyang Mansion should be wailing over this, right? But if the mirage conspiracy succeeds, the Kinoji is destroyed and the Oniyan species are rampant, the losses caused may be hundreds of thousands of times more. From this point alone
He said that Gu Chen felt at ease after earning the second pot of gold.
"Well, after all, except for a few rare elixirs, the profit of manufacturing Yunqi is generally higher than that of elixirs." The female secretary nodded and confirmed the workshop owner's point of view. "From the overall trend of the workshop manufacturing industry, the profit of Yunqi in China and Japan is
Commonly used props have the lowest profit, while combat equipment is much higher. Of course, the highest profit is from heavy machinery."
"Heavy machinery?" Gu Chen asked curiously.
He knew to some extent the basic types of Yunqi, but he was not as detailed as a female secretary who was skilled in the business.
"Roughly speaking, heavy machines that cannot be carried by manpower will be classified into the 'heavy machine' category. For example, the Thunder God Crossbow equipped in the Jianguan Fortress, or the wind-back ship commonly used in Jinbo Territory, are all representatives of the heavy machine category.
"Wu Zhen explained to Zijiafang Shu while sorting out the documents.
"Building heavy machines costs a lot of money. Basically, only the lords or large trading companies have the financial resources to order them. And workshops that can cast heavy machines are regarded as treasures of the lord no matter where they are. Sometimes, in order to let the lord
Government orders can be given priority, and even the princes have to bow to the owner."
"Oh? Is it to that extent?"
Gu Chen was surprised. For their social functions, masters are generally respected in the Chenghuang states. Of course, the degree of respect also varies. According to Wu Zhen, masters who can cast heavy machines should be the most noble beings among them.
, to the point where even the princes did not dare to offend him casually.
"That's right. Li Yang doesn't have a workshop that can cast heavy machines. When he ordered the Thunder God Crossbow from other countries' workshops, my grandfather, the former Li Yanggong, didn't know how much thought he put into it." Wu Zhen smiled bitterly and said very little.
Someone knows the secrets of the princes and is diligent
Suggested. "Since the young master has built an armored chariot this time and actually played the role of a heavy machine, then in the future Gewufang may develop in the direction of building heavy machines? Whether it is to improve the profits of the workshop group or to enhance the national strength of the country, it will
Quite helpful?"
"Well, that's right."
Gu Chen scratched his head and tried to sort out the opinions of the female secretary.
Although casting heavy machinery sounds very profitable, and armored chariots can indeed be classified as heavy machinery in Yunqi, but for this reason, Gewufang is given the name "treasure of the leader" and its status is considered to be higher than that of the princes.
Above the palace, other than arrogance, it can only be described as ignorance.
Yunqi casting is not a one-shot job. From the preparation of materials to the design drawings to the melting of the caster, the molded Yunqi cannot be made without any link. If you want to ensure the sustainability of production, these three links must also be closely integrated.
Just keep up.
Currently, the Yunqi produced under the title of Gewufang are Nizewu and Armored Vehicles.
The former is currently the core of hunting cavalry operations and plays an irreplaceable role in suppressing the riots of stone monsters. As for the latter, hundreds of people have been separated from Kinoji in the form of groups this time. This alone can
I can see the great value of combining mobility and breakthrough power.
Both Yunqi are undoubtedly masterpieces, but unfortunately, Gewufang does not have the ability to mass-produce them. Nizewu's materials come from rare mud monster variants, while the armored car is made from caged car monsters and
The fusion of the Lord of Li Palace can be said to be an accidental product of fate.
With the current weak strength of Gewufang, it is impossible to replicate the above-mentioned fate.
In other words, even if the Liyang Mansion spends a lot of money to order armored vehicles or mud docks from Gewufang, Gewufang will not be able to build them as expected. In this case, how can we talk about a respected status on par with the princes?
Of course, the key point for material supply is to rely on pioneers, while the key point for process improvement is to rely on craftsmen. As long as you are willing to spend time and energy, the problems that restrict creation will be gradually solved.
"I will consider it, but let me rest for now..."
Gu Chen sighed and lay down on the desk again.
Heavy machine casting is indeed a good direction, but for Gu Chen, who has just experienced the Kinoji riots and has not yet recovered, he really doesn’t want to think about the management of the workshop group now. Anyway, the Gewut Workshop has a large amount of revenue.
How about closing the business for two weeks? Gu Chen even had such an idea in his mind.
"...It seems that the young master is really exhausted." The female secretary's eyes were full of pity, and her voice was particularly soft. "I heard that the heavy machine consumes more energy than ordinary weapons, so the young master drove hundreds of people from Kino in an armored vehicle.
It was really hard work to collect and transport them back."
"It's okay to drive an armored car, but the problem is that I had a tough fight with Oniyanzhong before, and that was really..."
The riots in Kinoji were also a thrilling experience for Gu Chen, and a considerable amount of negative pressure naturally accumulated on his mind. At this moment, it was a rare opportunity to express his complaints to the female secretary, so Gu Chen said it without thinking too much.
.
Then he heard an exclamation of "Eh!?". Gu Chen looked up and saw a pile of documents slipping from the hands of the absent-minded female secretary and scattering all over the floor.
