Chapter 449 National Artifact Refining Industry

The emergence of professional groups such as "purchasing agents", "purchasing agents" and "scalpers" in Zhenlin City has led to the sales of equipment such as "Yukong Suit" and "Shenbing Three-piece Set" sold in Yukong Shop and Baobing Shop. The abnormal increase has attracted the attention of intelligence agencies very early.

The reason is that the sales volume is too high, which is a bit exaggerated.

Capital City, Egret Palace.

A palace covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand acres, with nearly a hundred buildings, the main color of the exterior walls, floors, and bricks and tiles is white, so it is called Bailu Palace.

This is the place where the supreme head of state works and lives.

In a side hall.

The head of the Intelligence Bureau, Ye Feng, a middle-aged man with a cold face, was reporting to the head of state.

"In the past year, there were at least 2350 sets of Yukong suits in the Yukong shop, which were bought by other foreign forces, which is equivalent to nearly half of our factory's output."

"At least [-]% of Baobingpu's Yuling Sword, Lingyuan Armor, and Lingyuan Pistol are sold, and the actual buyers are not locals from Wancheng Country."

"The head of the country, it belongs to the opinion: We should arrest a group of purchasing agents, clean up the spies sent by various sects lurking in Wancheng, and severely crack down on the increasingly rampant purchasing agents!"

"The Royal Air suit and the weapons of Baobingpu are the treasures of the national strategy. They should not flow out in large quantities, otherwise it will definitely damage the interests of our country and threaten our security."

Night Breeze also took out a list from his sleeve, handed it over with both hands, and said, "The head of the country, as long as you nod, these people can be taken down immediately!"

After receiving the list, Zhou Ming glanced at it briefly, then put the list on the side of the table, and shook his head: "Don't embarrass these people, let them go."

what?
Night Breeze's face froze, and he couldn't help asking: "Why? The head of the country, why did you let them go? These moths are very harmful to our country, so we should eradicate them as soon as possible!"

He didn't understand very much that the royal air suit and the three-piece magic weapon set are all treasures of the Wancheng Kingdom. If they fall into the hands of outsiders, especially hostile forces, they will definitely increase the threat to the Wancheng Kingdom and cause serious damage force.

Therefore, it is best that none of these treasures fall into the hands of forces other than Wancheng Kingdom.

In this way, the Wancheng Kingdom can occupy the upper hand for a long time and remain invincible.

However, the head of state seems to have ignored these threats intentionally, or didn’t pay much attention to them at all. As a result, the phenomenon of proxy purchasing has emerged from the very beginning to the current rampant, shocking, and must be contained. related.

During this process, Night Breeze, the Director of the Intelligence Bureau, and his subordinates and colleagues actually discovered the signs very early on. They focused on several key targets, and applied for action many times, but they were not approved when they reached the head of the country. , Ye Feng and the others jumped many times in a hurry.

What's wrong with the head of state?
He is usually so wise and decisive, but why is he so confused and difficult to make a decision on this matter?
What concerns did he have that made him sit back and watch the situation get worse?

Night Breeze really couldn't figure it out.

Seeing the entangled, dissatisfied, extremely incomprehensible, and extremely disappointed expression on Night Breeze's face, Zhou Ming was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said jokingly:

"Night Breeze, you have been with me for 30 or [-] years. Among my students, you have been following me for the longest time. I thought you were smarter than ordinary students and could understand the intentions of most of my actions. Now it seems that you You have to study for a few more years."

Ye Feng was confused when he said this, he lowered his head, changed his address and said, "Teacher, what do you mean by that?"

Although the words were tactful, didn't the teacher mean to say: He is not smart enough, so he has to study for a few more years?

"Let me ask you, do you know, what is the purpose of my acquiescing to all parties to buy royal equipment and artifacts and treasures through various underground means?"

"Forehead……"

Night Breeze thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know."

"Hey, I can't figure out such a simple question. Besides earning spirit coins, what else can I do?"

"Earn spirit coins... make money?"

Ye Kong was stunned, his expression changed, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "The head of the country, there are many ways to make money, and you must never sell the national treasure to earn such harmful money! The head of the country..."

"Don't get excited, just listen to me."

Zhou Ming raised his hand, stopped his long speech, and began to follow the guidance.

"Night Breeze, you should have some understanding of the country's economy. Let me ask you a few questions. How much economic income can a farmer in our country get a year from tending one acre of land?"

"One acre of land, if you plant two seasons of golden wheat, you can earn 5 spirit coins a year; you can earn 15 spirit coins by growing cotton, but it's more work." Night Breeze replied.

"Okay, how much does a worker in our country earn a year working on a factory assembly line?"

"Workers' income is relatively high, and the annual income is generally above 300 Lingcoins."

"What about the income of the factory owner? Taking the textile industry as an example, what is the annual profit of a medium-sized textile factory with [-] workers?"

"If it's more, it's 50 million spirit coins, if it's less, it's 10 spirit coins."

"Okay! Let's take the Yukong suit as an example again. After deducting the full cost of a Yukong suit, how many spirit coins can we earn?"

"Well, it should be more than 80."

"Where is the Imperial Spirit Sword in Baobingpu? It costs [-] spirit coins. How much does it cost?"

"The cost does not exceed 5000 spirit coins."

"How much is the cost of Lingyuan armor and Lingyuan pistol?"

"No more than 1 spirit coins."

"Okay, can you find the pattern?"

Night Breeze nodded and said, "The selling price of our country's magic weapon is ten times its cost, and there are a lot of huge profits."

"It's not just huge profits. Even if you sell a small Lingyuan pistol, the benefits you get are equivalent to a small factory's annual benefits."

Zhou Ming concluded, then turned to him and asked, "Do you know why this happened?"

"I know, because most of the wealth is in the hands of a few people."

"In the hands of those people?"

"In the hands of the Xianshan sect."

"That's right, most of the world's wealth is in the hands of various sects." Zhou Ming nodded, "So we have to find a way to earn the infinite wealth from these sects in the fairy mountain, and express it magically." A weapon of war is a very good way.”

"No, Chief of the country! This money must not be earned. How can you sell the country's magic weapons so easily? There will be great harm, Chief of the country!"

Night Breeze's reaction immediately became agitated, but he still strongly opposed it.

"Don't be excited, don't be excited, I haven't finished yet."

Zhou Ming waved his hand to stop him, explained his philosophy, and gave him a chance to get rid of the "small peasant conservative thinking" in his mind.

This is actually a big game of chess that he prepared to play from the very beginning.

He had a plan as early as after the Yukong Equipment Manufacturing Factory, Yulingjian Foundry Factory, Lingyuan Armor Assembly Factory, and Lingyuan Pistol Factory were put into mass production one after another.

Sell ​​refining equipment and earn spirit coins crazily.

Even the endless wealth hidden in the various sects of Xianshan Mountain is all in his goal of making money.

Moreover, he defined the sects of Xianshan as top local tyrants and super powerful households.

Most of the Yukong set and the three-piece set of Shenbing are specially developed and mass-produced to target these customers.

There will be more products to be launched in the later period, and after the production capacity is increased, there will be no restrictions on the purchase of any force.

There will even be caravans for wholesale export and sales in other regions.

In other words, Zhou Ming intends to sell these refining equipment to every corner of this plane.

why?
Isn't he afraid of the bad consequences that will result from it?

Of course not afraid.

No matter how fast the Royal Sky Suit is, it cannot compare to the latest version of the Royal Sky Battle Armor.

No matter how powerful the Yuling Sword is, it cannot compare to the Lingyuan Spear.

No matter how thick the Lingyuan armor is, it can't stop the Lingyuan cannon.

No matter how powerful the Lingyuan pistol is, its maximum killing range will not exceed 300 meters.

What's more, Wancheng Kingdom's biggest trump card, the Lingyuan battleship, will not be exported to any forces except Dongyuanzhou, at least for a long period of time.

Zhou Ming has a very clear understanding of how to maintain his own advantages, and knows what to do.

Selling some low-configuration refining equipment will not have much impact on the interests of Wancheng Kingdom.

But the benefits obtained can be said to be huge!
Zhou Ming said: "The profit gained from selling a set of Yukong suits and repurchasing materials is enough for the factory to produce ten sets, and the cost of a Lingyuan cannon is only 80 million spirit coins. That is to say, every A set of Yukong suit is equivalent to adding a spiritual cannon to Wancheng Kingdom."

"The same is true for the three-piece set of divine weapons. Every time a complete set is sold, the profit of more than 20 spirit coins is equivalent to adding more than 20 powerful spirit spears to Wan Chengguo."

"In this transaction, for every 1 point increase in the strength of the parties, the strength of Wancheng Kingdom will increase by [-] points."

"The more the Royal Sky Suit and the Divine Weapon Three-piece Set are bought, the more and more Wan Cheng Kingdom will have the Royal Sky Battle Armor, Lingyuan Cannon, and Lingyuan Battleship in their hands."

"The gap will also widen."

"In order to close the gap and not to fall behind in the arms race, the expenses of each sect in the fairy mountain will rise in a straight line. When the spirit coins are used up, they will sell the materials and magic weapons in hand. When the materials and magic weapons are sold out, it is possible We will sell our own exercises, including those core exercises that have never been passed on to the outside world."

"When the core exercises are all sold out, the money is still not enough to spend. There is no other way. Those sects of Xianshan can only put down their airs and come to my Wancheng country to earn money and work."

"So, I'm not worried at all about the impact on the interests of Wancheng Kingdom after those magic weapon sets are bought in large quantities. I'm not worried at all!"

"On the contrary, the more I sell externally, the happier I am and the more confident I am."

"Because once they go down this buying path, they get poorer and weaker and they can't stop, they can't go back."

"Our Wancheng Kingdom will always remain invincible and become stronger and stronger."

And this emerging strategic industry that can enrich the country and strengthen the army will make Wancheng country stronger and stronger. Zhou Ming called it: the national refining industry.

So, what is there to worry about?

Instead, celebrate with a private dance.

"This……"

Night Breeze, director of intelligence bureau, was stunned.

He was dumbfounded.

This kind of superb operation by the head of the country is like a god, with far-reaching plans and suffocating. He can only give a thumbs up and secretly praise: Absolutely, absolutely absolutely!
I am amazed in my heart: the wisdom of the old man at the head of the country is unmatched by anyone in the world. A mortal like him with short-sightedness will only disturb others and worry about others.

Night Breeze's doubts disappeared, and the arrest list was completely forgotten, and he left the side hall in a relaxed and happy mood.
