After the two sides 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? Do you know that this kind of thing is not a joke."
In her eyes, although Wang Fugui has a noble status and is said to be quite outstanding, he is still a little kid. How can he have the Fourth Princess Order?
"I know a little bit about this matter." Zhennan Prince 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 something going on in the Northern Territory Prince's Palace. There has been a lot of news. 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.
"Meet your Highness." Wang Fugui bowed his hands and saluted, "Mengyu and I are like-minded friends. Your Highness, please don't believe the rumors."
"Friends are friends. Anyway, you are still young, and there may be some changes in the future." King Zhennan said with a nonchalant smile, "However, what exactly did you do when you came here holding 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 share technology with the Daqian court armament department, Daqian Gongye family, etc., and jointly develop A new type of armor has been released."
"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. ”
The face of King Zhennan 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 Yu Mengyu was born in the Royal Palace of the Northern Territory, any princess is theoretically the princess of the entire Hanyue Immortal Dynasty. From the perspective of King Zhennan, both Princess Jing'an and the fourth little princess are juniors of the entire Yuan family.
"King Zhennan's guess is correct." Wang Fugui ignored King Zhennan's sullenness and said calmly, "However, even with these two relationships, Xuanjia Sicai will not adopt our new set of tactics. A, it also 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, this guy might have gotten through the back door.
"Director Zhao." Wang Fugui said politely to Zhao Xiqing, "We have brought a total of ten sets of new armors suitable for Lingtai realm monks, and we also need to trouble you to invite ten people to test the armors."
"Wealth and honor are all relationships, but it is precisely because of this relationship between us that I will be stricter in the assessment of your products." Zhao Xiqing said with a serious face, "I hope you can be mentally prepared."
As she spoke, she waved her jade hand and asked people to summon ten guards from the Lingtai Realm.
"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 all at the Heavenly Realm.
This is the terrifying background of an immortal 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.
Ten Lingtai Realm members responsible for the test are enough.
Luo Yuqing also took out ten sets of new armors for testing. These armors exuded the same dark majesty as the Immortal Dynasty standard black armor, but structurally speaking, they seemed to be more Slimer.
"This is the flagship version of Wang's ninth generation modular black armor." Luo Yuqing introduced carefully, "Different from the original one-piece black armor design, Wang's black armor adopts standard modular design and manufacturing processes , the entire set of armor has twenty-one modules. 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 to start testing, and she continued to introduce: "The flagship version uses a thickened black iron frame in key and fatal parts. The other parts have different protection levels. The main material is 3rd to 5th level 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% worse, 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 various data were almost the same as what Luo Yuqing said, and the specific performance was even half as good.
"There are two embedded small light-body rune structure card slots on the outside of the leg parts. After injecting Xuanqi, 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 lit up. Although the overall defense power was lower than the standard black armor, the overall performance seemed to be higher.
"Which 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 used is equal to 30% of the standard black armor, and the rest is all levels of crocodile skin armor."
Zhennan King’s heart moved, and the amount of black iron was 30%! 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, "The Wang Group's Weapon Refining Directorate has been developing armor for a long time, but has always been troubled by one problem, and that is materials. As we all know, we Daqian is a barren land outside of China, and the output of black iron ore is relatively small. When making some black armor for the Daqian army, they also 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 talked 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. The output will become lower and lower, and the price will become higher and higher. 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 scale of breeding and output increase, the cost per unit will only get lower and lower. And this is a renewable resource. It can continuously strengthen the defense of our human race."
"It makes sense." King Zhennan said thoughtfully, "In fact, our Immortal Weapon Department has already tried to replace black iron with leather armor, but the cost of obtaining the leather of ferocious beasts and spirit beasts is much higher than that of black iron. Mining and smelting. Even if the price of dark iron has reached the staggering level it is today, the cost is still much lower than the leather that feeds 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. It is almost impossible to promote it on a large scale in the military." 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 adopt a large-area semi-free range breeding method. Fierce crocodile, further reducing 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 craftsman can then finish them, which saves a lot of money in crafting. division consumption.
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 three hundred immortal crystals. Why should we buy your new armor? No wonder your armor cannot 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 there are 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 soldiers in the Qi Refining realm, and they cannot control this kind of high-end armor." Wang Fugui said truthfully, "We need to start from The Immortal Dynasty makes more money, and then accelerates the expansion of production scale and further reduces 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, even if you pluck a hair, it is thicker than our thighs." Wang Fugui sighed, "Although we Daqian The country is weak, but we have been fighting **** the battlefields outside the territory and trying our best to fulfill our responsibilities. After the founding of the country, we have not lost many lives in the battlefields outside the territory. We also want to become stronger quickly so that we can share more of the pressure on the Immortal Dynasty. ."
When the King of Zhennan stopped, the Donggan Kingdom had indeed been trying their best on the battlefield outside the territory, not to mention that this time the Wei family and the one behind them had gone too far. Instead of taking advantage of the Wei family, it would be better...
For a moment, King Zhennan was moved.
Suddenly, he suddenly thought of something, stared at Wang Fugui and said, "Boy, 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 talking about 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 extremely honestly, "Your Highness, do you want to ask why I know ?"
"Actually, the reason is very simple. I have compiled statistics on Wei's mineral tax records and mineral production registration records in 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 From the data, I calculated 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 it at all. After staring for a long time, he could only hold back one sentence, "So, you are here to take advantage of the situation? How much better are you than the Wei family?"
Up to this point, 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 Wei's has bad intentions to enrich the country and jeopardize the country's wealth." Wang Fugui said calmly, "Actually, I have a plan to make Wei's Not only will they get rid of 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 trick? Tell me quickly." King Zhennan was in high spirits. To be honest, he was disgusted by the Wei family. Before Wang Fugui showed up, he was ready to accept the Wei family's blackmail.
"This plan requires the cooperation of Xuanjia Division..." Wang Fugui pulled King Zhennan and Zhao Xiqing aside and whispered.
Soon.
Zhennan King and Zhao Xiqing both looked at Wang Fugui with frightened eyes.
What kind of clever plan is this? It is clearly a poisonous plan. Does he dare to be more vicious?
"No, 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 expenses and consumption. Ah. I 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 a vicious crocodile The breeding of animals and the cultivation of weapon refiners are not something that happens overnight."
"The lack of production of ferocious crocodiles can be solved. There are ferocious crocodiles in some wilderness in our Immortal Dynasty. I can send troops to hunt and hunt them. Of course, this is a stopgap measure. You must speed up the scale of breeding and reduce costs." King Zhennan Gritting his teeth, he said, "The ancestor of your family is right. Black Iron 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 working hard." Wang Fugui said with a wink.
"That would be great, 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 from the Heavenly Realm and the Purple Mansion Realm. Weapon Refiner."
The King of Zhennan also made up his mind. No matter what, this order was to be achieved, and Wei would never be allowed to 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. This can also give him, King Zhennan, a good breath 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 affect the progress of the order. That’s not good.”
"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. Who dares to lose control at this time? , whoever is guilty will be punished."
"Alas~~ But I'm still a little worried." Wang Fugui said worriedly, "What if the masters of the weapon refinery went to our Daqian, fell in love with the simple customs of Daqian, and refused to return to the Immortal Dynasty? What should I do?"
Zhennan King Haoxuan spat out a mouthful of old blood and glared: "You are a young kid, why do you get into so many troubles? I know what you are thinking, you must be coveting the outstanding talents of our Immortal Dynasty. Weapon refiners, 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 and said, "You Wang family If you have the ability to win over, go ahead and win over them. After this order is concluded, if anyone wants to stay in Daqian and not return to the Immortal Dynasty, I will not make it difficult for them and let them choose whether to return or stay."
He 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 could he win over?
Who wants to stay in the countryside without waiting for immortality?
Can you pull dozens of people? 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 held his hands deeply: "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 with a heart that can judge a gentleman. This king has always promised a billion 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."
"Sign it and sign it."
