Chapter 326: Cabinet Meeting
The next day, the underground conference room of Wuji Group.
Today can be said to be the most important day for Wuji Biotech, because today is the day when the life elixir is released.
Life Elixir will be sold in the Jiangdong region first, and then in the next two to four days, the entire major provincial capitals of Great Xia will also be on sale one after another.
The first batch of donated life medicines has been shipped to hospitals in major first-tier cities across the country overnight.
However, the current meeting room is not an internal meeting of Infinity Creatures.
At this time, from the periphery of the base to the door of the conference room, there were soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition.
In the spacious conference room, there were golden generals sitting one after another, all with awe-inspiring expressions and bright eyes.
These people are all representatives of the six military regions, and they are here for Life No. 3.
"You all know the extraordinaryness of Life No. 3, I believe everyone can see the previous laboratory, it can be said that with Life No. 3, we can mass-produce a strong man like Captain Citigroup, a cultivator, and spend his whole life practicing to the Jindan period, but a bottle of potion is a super soldier, everyone must know the strength of Captain Citigroup, with the latest scientific and technological weapons, even if it is the Jindan period, it can be killed!"
"But the 700 million you said is too high, that's dollars!"
"That's right, 700 million can purchase several top fighters, and there is a 20% chance of failure, which is too cost-effective. ”
"If it's cheaper, $100 million can be considered. ”
A group of bigwigs frowned, taken aback by the price.
You must know that the military region has no financial power, and it has to be allocated by the Imperial Military Department, and they purchase this kind of thing little by little from their own budget.
Xia Jiu shook his head and said: "I, Xia Wuji, don't like to go around in circles, let me explain the bottom, the production of Life No. 3 is only ten per Yue, and I can even put it on the international black market with the highest price, I believe that even if it is one billion, no one will buy it." ”
"Xia Wuji, are you crazy, how can this kind of country's heavy weapon leak out?"
"That's right, it's treason!"
"If you have something to say, don't get excited. But 700 million is really too high. The general also gave the bottom before I came, and I definitely can't accept it if it's too high. ”
"500 million US dollars, this is the bottom line of Wuji Creatures, if you can't accept it below this price, you can go back. "Xia Jiu doesn't give these people any face.
The situation has been tense recently, and although they are all generals, they are not generals like Chang Lao.
Life No. 3 is definitely not worried about sales, so the price of 500 million is really not high in the international arena.
A group of people hesitated, they had actually communicated privately beforehand, united front. But I didn't expect Wuji Group to be so tough.
"Hehe, I always say it fairly, I believe everyone knows the meaning of this life elixir very well, and if it is put on the black market, it is possible to sell it for a billion. And people still have to pay taxes, to be honest, excluding costs, the profit is only tens of millions. There is no such shop in this village, so if you don't want it, we will ask for the first batch of ten potions. ”
Chang Lao was full of smiles, and he startled everyone when he said a word.
"Chang Lao, all ten branches, you have such a big appetite in the Southwest Military Region?"
Ten is five billion US dollars, which is converted into more than 30 billion Daxia coins.
The military expenditure of the entire empire is more than 1 trillion yuan a year, excluding the military expenditure of the central research and development category, which is divided into six major military regions, and the southwest is only a little more than 100 billion yuan a year.
Spending almost a third of your budget on Life Three at once really scared a lot of people.
"You should be aware of the current situation, and seriously, this price is really not much. Chang Lao shook his head, his gaze determined.
The others were stunned, as if they had thought of something.
"In this way, we purchased two in the southeast. A representative of the southeast spoke.
"Let's try one in Zhongnan too. ”
Some people spoke, others couldn't sit still, and they all exported to buy.
Soon the ten were allotted.
"Okay, please go back and choose the applicable person to come to our Wuji Creatures, which is a little safer, after all, the potion itself has risks. Here, danger can be minimized. Xia Jiu said again.
The people from the major military regions nodded one after another, and Xia Jiu discussed a lot of details with them, including the cooperation of the life potion, as well as the escort matters, after all, the life elixir is not trivial, and the major military regions are also willing to send people to escort the whole process.
After all, these are trivial things, and the military region will also get some Life No. 2 as compensation every year, which can be described as a great joy.
After these people left, Xia Jiu said, "Elder Chang, thank you." If you hadn't exported it just now, it wouldn't have been so easy for them to agree. ”
Chang Lao laughed and said: "Don't lie to me, you kid, you told me that the cost is 300 million US dollars, this is fake, I think it is up to 100 million, even if you deduct taxes, you don't say half of it, you are really black." ”
Xia Jiu touched his head, thinking to himself, what would happen if you knew that it would cost three million?
"They can agree, but it is also forced by the situation, your price is still too high, and in the future, as the number of potions increases, the price will definitely come down, otherwise no one will buy it." Chang Lao continued: "Come with me tonight, there is a big man who wants to see you." ”
"Hmm, what big guy?" Xia Jiu asked suspiciously.
Chang Lao said with a solemn face: "Do you remember the last time I told you that the people in the cabinet want to contact you, the general is back, and the cabinet has been under a lot of pressure recently, so they are all in a hurry now." ”
"I heard that three days ago, the security headquarters ordered the Wen family, one of the six major families in Kyoto, to be killed! The Wen family is one of the six major families in Kyoto, which has been deeply rooted and inherited for hundreds of years, and overnight, thirty-six members of the direct family, regardless of men, women, and children, were all killed!"
"This incident shook the whole of Kyoto, but the news was blocked, the outside world was not clear at all, some people said that the general was crazy, he did not have a military order, and he killed people without permission, it was simply uncontrollable, and now everyone in Kyoto wants to kill the general. But there are few people in the world who can compete with the general. Behind the six military regions are the cabinet, and they can spend a lot of money to buy your life elixir, also because of the current tense situation, do you understand?"
A day later.
Forbidden City, Kyoto.
This is the center of the empire, heavily guarded, and at this time, the secret meeting hall of the palace is still brightly lit.
The head of the Reich, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Defense, the Judiciary, the Garrison, and so on gathered together.
There are a total of nineteen people on the scene plus the Führer, and these people together can be said to be the masters of the entire empire.
The Reich elected its head according to an electoral system, but in reality only twenty people were eligible to elect.
In addition to the nineteen bigwigs present, there is one who is not here.
According to the practice and laws of the Empire, whenever there was a major meeting of the Cabinet, a minister must be appointed to be absent from the scene, in order to prevent an unexpected disaster that would leave the country without a leader, and if all the members present were killed, the remaining minister would be the head of state.
"Bastard!" Minister of Justice Wei Wuxi slapped the table and was furious: "The general is simply lawless! In broad daylight, he sent someone to kill the Minister of Garrison Wen Hua, has he asked the cabinet, has he asked me, the Ministry of Justice, and the head of state?"
"If such a country is not a country, he can kill whoever he wants, how can we deal with ourselves?"
A group of bigwigs were silent.
After a while, Vice Head Zhao Ziyi said coldly: "The general is out of the customs strongly, the Dividing Yang God has subdued the Ten Divine Mountains, sent disciples to destroy the sixteen islands of the South Seas, the internal affairs of the empire have frequently intervened, and the White Terror has been set off in various places, I suggest that all the relatives of the general be arrested immediately and the army will be sent to clear the Security Bureau!"
The cabinet members are the most noble group of people in the empire, and even many of them are from the six major families, even the Wen family was destroyed by the general, and the cabinet ministers said to kill them, and they all felt extremely panicked.
This kind of invincible thing can't be controlled at all, and only when it is destroyed can people feel at ease.
"I don't agree, I'm not here today to discuss dealing with the general, I can't do it to the general now, after all, the general moved Wen Hua, it was Wen Hua's own sin, doing so many ugly things, and he actually ate inside and out, colluding with the Sword Bureau, just this one treason, he is also dead. The Führer spoke.
"But how can Wen Hua say that he is also a cabinet minister, and he will be killed without trial, and he will not even inform us, what does the general think of us?"
"That's right, the general must be removed!"
"You want to kill him, have you ever thought about the consequences of angering the general? Who in the whole of Great Xia can touch him?"
"We have a nuclear bomb, afraid of him?"
"Nuclear bomb, you throw one and try it in Kyoto?"
"Okay, don't make any noise!" Yuan Shen looked at the group of people below who were out of shape, and suddenly became angry.
"The general has not directly threatened us yet. We have no reason to attack him for the time being, and your Excellency will reprimand him with more intense rhetoric, and in addition, the financial allocation of the Security Bureau will be cut by a third as a warning!" ordered the Führer.
"What? It's only a third? I think at least half. Qin Wan of the Ministry of Finance was a little unconvinced.
He controls the country's finances and knows how huge the annual expenses of the Security Bureau are, so to speak, even the three military regions combined are not enough!
Moreover, the Security Bureau is too strong, he has no oil and water at all for this part of the money, and there is no benefit, he is a chancellor, and every time he approves the money, he has to look at people's faces, which makes him very unhappy.
"What, do you have an opinion on what I said? Why don't you sit on this Führer?" said the Führer coldly.
Qin Wan suddenly stopped talking. The Führer then continued: "The Security Bureau has made great contributions to the Empire, and the number of personnel is huge, and the expenses are very large, and the necessary funds cannot be reduced. ”
"Okay, that's all for today's meeting, Wei Lao, Han Lao, and Lao Zhao will stay, and the others will disperse. The Führer waved his hand.
After everyone left, the head of state looked at Han Lao and said, "Are people here?"
