Chapter 84: Wealth digs out immortals and goes to the corner
…
After the two parties met and greeted each other.
Zhao Xiqing then looked Wang Fugui up and down and said, "Fugui, why are you holding the Fourth Princess Order? You know, you can't joke about this kind of thing."
In her eyes, although Wang Fugui has a noble status and is said to be quite outstanding, he is still a little kid. How could he have the Fourth Princess Order?
"I know a little bit about this matter." Zhennan Wang Concubine Xia Yang, who was silent on the side, looked at Wang Fugui with a smile and said, "Some time ago, I heard that there was a lot of trouble in the Northern Territory Prince's Mansion.
Although the King of the Northern Territory suppressed the news for the sake of face, many elders of the Yu family have heard about it, and the fourth little princess already has a sweetheart. Young man, you are quite capable."
"This is His Highness the King of Zhennan." Zhao Xiqing introduced in a low voice.
"Greetings to Your Highness." Wang Fugui bowed his hands and saluted, "Meng Yu and I are like-minded friends. Your Highness should not believe the rumors easily."
"Friends are friends. Anyway, you are still young, and there may be some changes in the future." King Zhennan said with a nonchalant smile, "But why did you come here with the princess order this time?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal." Wang Fugui said, "Our Changning Wang family has some unique understanding of the weapon refining industry, and we have shared technology with the Daqian court armament department, Daqian Gongye family and others, and jointly developed a
A new type of armor."
"Senior Luo Yuqing is our product promotion envoy stationed in the Immortal Dynasty. He has been quite effective in promoting various products and building channels. Only the promotion of the new armor has encountered many obstacles."
King Zhennan's face gradually darkened: "So, you are going to use Meng Yu's princess order and your special relationship with Zhao Xiqing to find a way?"
Although Juan Mengyu was born in the Northern Territory Palace, in theory, any princess is the princess of the entire Hanyue Immortal Dynasty. From the perspective of King Zhennan, whether it is Princess Jing'an or the four little princesses, they are the princess of the entire Juan family.
A junior of the same lineage.
"King Zhennan's guess is correct." Wang Fugui ignored King Zhennan's irritation and said calmly, "However, even with these two levels of relationship, Xuanjia Sicai will not adopt our new set of armor.
It depends on the quality of our products.”
"Okay." King Zhennan narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a half-smile, "I would like to see what the quality of your so-called new armor is." He couldn't help but think to himself. Fortunately, he didn't avoid it this time, otherwise he would still accuse him.
Maybe this kid got through the back door.
"Director Zhao." Wang Fugui said politely to Zhao Xiqing, "We have brought a total of ten sets of new armor suitable for Lingtai monks. We also need to trouble you to invite ten people to test the armor."
"Wealth and honor are all relationships, but it is precisely because of this relationship between us that I will be more strict in evaluating your products." Zhao Xiqing said with a serious face, "I hope you can be mentally prepared."
With that said, she waved her jade hand and asked people to summon all ten Lingtai Realm guards to come over.
"Wait a minute, Xiqing, you're looking for five here." King Zhennan waved his hand, "I'm also looking for five servants from the palace."
What kind of place is Zhennan Prince's Mansion? A qualified servant is in the Lingtai realm, and the clan soldiers and generals he supports before going out are, at worst, in the Heavenly Realm.
This is the terrifying background of a fairy dynasty palace.
But even so, most of the main forces of the Immortal Dynasty are still based in the Lingtai realm.
After an hour passed.
Only ten Lingtai level people responsible for the test are gathered together.
Luo Yuqing also took out ten sets of new armors for testing. These armors exuded the same dark majesty as the Immortal Dynasty's standard black armors, but structurally they seemed to be more slender.
"This is the flagship version of Wang's ninth-generation modular black armor." Luo Yuqing introduced carefully, "Different from the original all-in-one black armor design, Wang's black armor adopts standard modular design and manufacturing processes.
A has twenty-one modules, and each module can be quickly replaced individually after damage, and is upgradeable."
Under Luo Yuqing's guidance, the tester began to wear the new armor and began testing, and she continued to introduce: "The flagship version adopts a thickened black iron frame in key and fatal parts, and the remaining parts adopt third-level armor according to different protection levels.
The main material is level 5 crocodile leather armor."
"The inner lining and joint movable parts are made of soft and tough crocodile belly skin."
"The overall weight is half of the standard black armor, and the overall defense is 20% less, but the flexibility and speed are 30% higher."
Following Luo Yuqing's introduction, the testers also started various performance tests under the guidance of Xuanjia Division's dedicated testers. As expected, the data were almost the same as what Luo Yuqing said, and the specific performance was even half a step ahead.
.
"There are two embedded small light-weight rune structure card slots on the outside of the leg parts. After injecting Xuan Qi, the body can be as light as a swallow and accelerate the mobility on the battlefield."
"There are card slots for external spiritual weapon shields and spiritual weapon arm crossbows on the left and right elbows. Different spiritual weapons can be carried according to needs, and the blocking defense and long-range attack capabilities are greatly increased."
gradually.
The eyes of Luo Yuqing and King Zhennan gradually brightened. Although the overall defense power was lower than the standard black armor, the overall performance seemed to be higher.
"What version of this set...Wang's version?" King Zhennan asked, "How much black iron does a set need?"
"Wang's ninth generation modular black armor flagship version." Luo Yuqing quickly replied, "The amount of black iron is equal to 30% of the standard black armor, and the rest is all levels of crocodile skin armor."
The King of Zhennan thought, 30% of the black iron was used! Now that the price of black iron has skyrocketed, isn't it extremely cost-effective?
"Why don't you all use black iron?" Zhao Xiqing also asked, "You know, defense on the battlefield means survival."
"Director Zhao, let me answer this." Wang Fugui said, "Wang's Weapon Refining Directorate has been working on the research and development of armor for a long time, but it has always been troubled by one problem, and that is materials. As we all know, our Daqian Na
In the 'Barren Land', the output of black iron ore is relatively small. When manufacturing some black armor for the Daqian army, they also have to import black iron ingots from the Immortal Dynasty at high prices to make up for the lack of production."
"But the problem is that the price of black iron has been rising steadily over the years, and our Wang family 'happens' to have a crocodile breeding industry. It is natural that we should adopt the plan of reducing the amount of black iron and increasing the amount of vicious animal skins."
Wang Fugui spoke eloquently: "What's more, my ancestors said that black iron is a non-renewable resource. Even the official black iron mines in the Immortal Dynasty have been hollowed out. In the future, black iron production will increase.
If it is lowered, the price will become higher and higher, and the reform of armor is an inevitable trend."
"But the fierce crocodiles domesticated by our Wang family are different. Although the current cost is still high, as the breeding scale and output increase, the cost per unit will only get lower and lower. Moreover, this is a renewable resource and can be continuously supplied.
Strengthen our human race’s defense.”
"It makes sense." King Zhennan pondered and said, "In fact, our Immortal Weapon Department has already tried to replace dark iron with leather armor, but the cost of obtaining the leather of ferocious beasts and spirit beasts is much higher than the mining and smelting of dark iron.
.Even though the price of black iron has reached the staggering level it is today, the cost is still much lower than the leather used to feed ferocious beasts."
"King Zhennan is right. As far as I know, the Immortal Dynasty has also made great achievements in the breeding industry. Some high-end commanders and generals have also adopted breeding dragon skin armor, etc., but the cost is extremely high. In the army,
It is almost impossible to promote it on a large scale." Wang Fugui said, "But I, Wang, are different. We first made a lot of improvements in the unit output and unit cost of food crops."
"The unit cost of food is low, so the unit cost of the pigs and beef cattle we raise is low. At the same time, the cost is transferred to the crocodiles, which will reduce the cost of breeding crocodiles. At the same time, we have adopted a large-area semi-free range method to raise crocodiles.
Further reduce breeding costs.”
"In addition, we have continued to conduct in-depth research and improvements in slaughtering, leather classification, tanning, armor making and other processes, further reducing costs..."
One thing Wang Fugui did not mention is that in fact, in the production of black iron parts, Wang has already adopted stamping technology. After stamping out the parts, the refiner can then finish them, which greatly saves the consumption of the refiner.
.
The weapon refiner does not need to be proficient in the refining of each component, but divides the work and cooperates. Each weapon refiner only focuses on the refining of one component, which greatly increases their proficiency bonus.
But even so, King Zhennan's eyes were already shining: "How much does this new set of armor cost?"
"Two thousand immortal crystals." Wang Fugui said calmly.
"What?" King Zhennan twitched his eyelids fiercely, "Now even if the price of black iron rises sharply, we purchase high-priced black iron ourselves, and our Xuanjia Division makes the black armor ourselves, and the total cost of a set is only one thousand and three thousand
Baixianjing. Why should we buy your new armor? No wonder your armor can’t be sold!"
"Your Highness is wrong." Wang Fugui said calmly, "Our flagship version of Wang's ninth-generation modular black armor has greater advantages than the traditional black armor."
"Since we have so many advantages, why not arm a large army?" King Zhennan glared at Wang Fugui angrily.
"The Daqian court is too poor to be armed. What's more, most of the Daqian army are Qi Refining realm soldiers. They can't control this kind of high-end armor." Wang Fugui said truthfully, "We need to make money from the Immortal Dynasty. More money will be needed to accelerate the expansion of production scale and further reduce costs. At the same time, Daqian's army also needs time and resources to grow in order to be worthy of such armor."
"According to your Wang family's plan, we, the Immortal Dynasty, are taking advantage of you and paying for your high upfront costs." King Zhennan couldn't laugh or cry, "Do you think we are stupid because we have so much money?"
"Your Highness, we are all from the human camp, so why bother fussing about it? The Immortal Dynasty is so big and large, if you pluck a hair, it is thicker than our thigh." Wang Fugui sighed, "Although our country is weak, But we have been fighting hard on the battlefields outside the territory, trying hard to fulfill our own responsibilities, and after the founding of the country, we have not spared many lives in the battlefields outside the territory. We also want to become stronger quickly, so that we can share more pressure on the Immortal Dynasty."
The king of Zhennan hesitated. Dongqian Kingdom had indeed been trying its best on the battlefield outside the territory. What's more, this time the Wei family and the one behind them went too far. Instead of taking advantage of the Wei family, it would be better...
For a moment, King Zhennan was moved.
Suddenly, he thought of something, stared at Wang Fugui and said, "You kid, do you know something?"
"Yeah, I know." Wang Fugui nodded honestly.
"You know what I'm saying you know?"
"Yes, I know you know what I'm saying and you know something."
"Speak humanly!" King Zhennan rolled his eyes.
"Yes, Your Highness. I know that a group of black iron mine owners headed by the Wei family have been hoarding black iron for a long time and secretly controlling the price of black iron." Wang Fugui said unusually honestly, "Your Highness, do you want to ask why I know?"
"Actually, the reason is very simple. I compiled Wei's mineral tax records and mineral production registration records for the past three hundred years, as well as tax offset items for personnel costs and other costs, and made a big data table. From the table data, I It was deduced that the cost of their offset items should be about 30% higher than the production registration... I calculated from the data anomalies... Then I combined the taxes of other aristocratic families... and the energy efficiency ratio of labor..."
"Your Highness, what happened is that simple."
"...Simple..." King Zhennan was speechless. He seemed to understand everything Wang Fugui said, but in fact he didn't understand at all. After staring for a long time, he only choked out one sentence, "So, you are here to take advantage of the situation? How much better can you be than Wei?"
Until now, King Zhennan did not dare to treat Wang Fugui as a child.
"The nature is different. Our price is high because of the high cost and good performance, while the Wei family has evil intentions to enrich the country and jeopardize the country." Wang Fugui said calmly, "Actually, I have a plan to make the Wei family steal the chicken this time. Not only will they be able to spit out all the ill-gotten gains they have made over the years, but it will also lower the cost of our three hundred immortal crystals."
"What's the clever plan? Tell me quickly." King Zhennan was in great spirits. To be honest, he was disgusted by the Wei family. Before Wang Fugui appeared, he was ready to accept Wei's blackmail.
"This plan requires the cooperation of Xuanjia Division..." Wang Fugui pulled Zhennan King and Zhao Xiqing aside and whispered.
soon.
King Zhennan and Zhao Xiqing both looked at Wang Fugui with frightened eyes.
What kind of clever plan is this? It's clearly a poisonous plan. Does he dare to be more vicious?
"No, no, once this plan succeeds, you Wang family will make a lot of money." King Zhennan grabbed Wang Fugui and said plausibly, "Although our Immortal Dynasty has a big family and a big business, we also have a lot of expenditures and consumption. We have a lot of expenses and consumption.
The king can cooperate with your poison, no, clever plan. But your armor must be discounted to 1,500 immortal crystals, and we have an order of 300,000 sets!"
"No." Wang Fugui shook his head, "Our raw materials and manpower cannot handle such a large order. We can produce at most 100,000 sets, and the remaining 200,000 sets are really powerful. After all, whether it is the breeding of ferocious crocodiles,
And the cultivation of weapon refiners does not happen overnight."
"The lack of ferocious crocodile production can be solved. Our Immortal Dynasty also has some ferocious crocodiles in the wilderness. I can send troops to hunt and hunt them. Of course, this is a temporary measure. You must speed up the scale of breeding and reduce costs." King Zhennan gritted his teeth.
Said, "The ancestor of your family is right, Black Iron's resources are gradually failing to keep up, and reform is imperative."
On the battlefield, although some resources can be recovered, it often happens that an entire army is wiped out and nothing can be recovered.
"As for the weapon refiner..." King Zhennan hesitated slightly.
"Our Xuanjia Division has a large number of idle weapon refiners." Zhao Xiqing rolled her eyes and said helpfully, "Rather than just being idle, it is better to participate in the production of new armors to speed up the progress."
"But our factories and production lines are all under construction." Wang Fugui said with a wink.
"Then no matter how good it is, no no, what I mean is that we can send weapon refiners to work in your field. We can send at least two thousand of them, including many weapon refiners from the Heavenly Realm and the Purple Mansion Realm.
.”
The King of Zhennan also made up his mind that no matter what, he would push through this order and he would never let the Wei family succeed.
What's more, as long as Wang Fugui's poisonous plan succeeds, the Wei family will definitely not be able to take advantage of this wave, and this will also allow him, King Zhennan, to breathe a sigh of relief.
"However, our Daqian is a foreign land, and the conditions are difficult and crude. Will the master refiners complain because they can't get used to it?" Wang Fugui said in embarrassment, "It will not be good if it affects the progress of the order.
Already."
"I will give you sufficient authority." King Zhennan said cheerfully, "Until this order is completed, these two thousand weapon refiners will all be under the control of your Wang family. Anyone who dares to slip up at this time will be punished.
Whose fault."
"Sigh, but I'm still a little worried." Wang Fugui said worriedly, "What if the masters of the refinery went to our Daqian, fell in love with Daqian's simple customs, and refused to return to the Immortal Dynasty?"
King Zhennan spit out a mouthful of old blood and glared: "You are a young kid, why do you do so many things? I know what you are thinking, you must be coveting the outstanding weapon refiners of our Immortal Dynasty.
, prepare to find ways to win over a group of people."
"Your Highness is wise, I can't hide anything from you." Wang Fugui said with some dejection and disappointment.
"Huh, in front of this king, you'd better stop your little thoughts. I've eaten more salt than you, that's all..." King Zhennan waved his hand impatiently, "You Wang family are capable of winning over , just try to win over them. After finishing this order, if anyone wants to stay in Daqian but not return to the Immortal Dynasty, I will not make it difficult for them and let them choose whether to return or stay."
He secretly thought to himself, even if he tried his best to win over the proud weapon refiners of our Immortal Dynasty with Dong Qian's conditions for that country boy, how much would he be able to win over?
Who wants to stay in the countryside without waiting for immortality?
Can you pull dozens? A hundred?
Oh, let them be careful. If anyone is really won over, they should support the Dongqian Kingdom in disguise for the Immortal Dynasty.
Wang Fugui was overjoyed, and he held his hands deeply and said: "Fugui thanks His Highness for your kindness on behalf of Da Gan, but this promise must be signed in the order contract."
"Bah, you are really a villain who has the heart to judge a gentleman. I have always promised billions of crystals." King Zhennan said disdainfully.
"Wealth has always adhered to the principle of putting villains first before gentlemen. Since Your Highness will not break his promise, just sign one."
