008 Meeting, Good News, Prototype
City 0126, Crimson Moon City, Crimson Moon Building.
Office of the President.
Huofeng shook his red wine glass, looking at No. 1 and Li Xiang who were a little embarrassed with a smile, just now, No. 1 was crying and making trouble at Li Xiang, and angrily asked him why he had all come here, and he didn't plan to come over to visit them.
Li Xiang was a little embarrassed, his initial idea was indeed to leave alone after placing Twilight and Na Sara here, and he was a little helpless in the face of this woman who had a ** relationship with him.
"Okay, okay, our Young Master Li Xiang is a busy man, so it's normal that he can't come. Hunter sat on the mahogany table, his two slender and white thighs swaying back and forth, slightly revealing the graceful scenery under the short skirt.
"Why haven't they come yet?" Li wanted to dodge No. 1's pink fist, so he had to divert the topic, "What's going on at the factory?"
Before Huo Feng could answer, the closed door was pushed open with a creak.
"Sorry sorry, I just came back from the factory. Wang Bo smiled all over his face, holding a crystal frame in his hand, which was full of all kinds of precious red wine, "Where did you go?"
"Just asked about the factory. Li Xiang stepped forward to take out a bottle of red wine, and Twilight and Nasaro immediately came up to help clean it up.
Also following Wang Bo were Cicada Dew Temple Tianyin, Xue Ni and the Enchantress.
Wang Bo had already taken a leave of absence from the military university, and he weighed it again and again, rather than wasting time in school, and ending up with a magic apprentice and an idle job, it was better to return here to concentrate on helping Li Xiang build a business empire and an upper-class family.
After possessing the Five Kings Verdict, the huge family named [Crimson Moon] established by Li Xiang has been officially registered as an upper-class family, governing the entire 0126 city.
The Crimson Moon Group and the military department controlled by Wang Haisheng completely monopolized all the industries in City 0126, giving Wang Bo a huge business empire.
Moreover, Li Xiang is still sending a steady stream of talents here, which is enough for him to establish a solid new force.
Now including the old department of the original Crimson Moon, the Demon Family of the Guwu Family and the Cicada Dew Temple Family, the Holy Clothing Church, the Border 169 Troops, etc., the new Crimson Moon has sufficient firepower, in addition, Li Xiang also has the assistance of the three parties of the Polar Night, the Shadow of the Night and the Lighthouse Academy, plus the first lady who is currently a good friend, Wang Bo did not expect that Li Xiang could spread such a terrifying network of contacts in just one year.
Now his plan is to position the Crimson Moon Group's primary industry as a mechanical military industry.
This is a profiteering industry that is currently monopolized by Wessex, Dongling Heavy Industries, and Bai's Heavy Industries, and in addition, only a very small number of excellent mechanics' studios and their subordinate families such as the Wei family and the Yakumo family are qualified to participate and get a piece of the pie.
Until then, Wang Bo's focus had always been on commerce and agriculture, which were closely related to the common people, and could extract the maximum value of a numbered city and quickly accumulate an objective wealth for them.
Under Wang Haisheng's suggestion, Wang Bo knew that if Li wanted to achieve the player sequence in the future, then their group of people would be his player team members, and the cultivation of players would require more resources, wealth and connections, which was the focus of their work.
Unconsciously, everyone began to live close to Li Xiang's towering giant tree.
But he still didn't expect that Li Xiang would have such great ambitions to get involved in this kind of monopoly industry.
But he really provided the technology, the crimson heavy industry under the name of the crimson moon was secretly established, led by Liekong, and quickly summoned a group of xenomorphic mechanics who were expelled from the seven continents, this kind of talent is very much in the border, but unfortunately the border only values soldiers, and these technical talents are often either frantically squeezed by the family base on the border, or are directly sent to be cannon fodder.
This group of people was entrusted to her by Zhao Lingkong when she left with Unit 169.
It was actually Andrea's "parting gift" to her.
These people are arrogant and uninhibited, but they have a heartfelt love for machinery, which was originally extremely difficult to tame, but they were conquered by the first blood clan daimyomy drawings thrown out by Li Xiang.
All of them were amazed by Li Xiang's cultivation talent and combat talent, and subconsciously ignored his strongest trump card, mechanical talent.
Scarlet Heavy Industries set out to build all kinds of firearms and mechanical devices independently developed, and the important drawings were developed by Li Xiang and a group of mechanics, and they were quietly carried out.
This was originally a practice that Li Xiang inadvertently thought of when he was building a blood clan daimyo, but he didn't expect it to grow to this point.
He is blessed with mechanical talents, so he can subdue these mechanics, and he is also a master of bullet guns with his previous life experience and experience, which is the original intention of his military factory.
And bullet guns are precisely an industry that the three giants of the Seven Continents have neglected.
This time back, Li Xiang was ready to provide them with several huge surprises.
"Tianyin and Xue Ni are about to go back to school, right?" Li Xiang personally poured wine for them one by one, a year has passed, he has a unique charm after washing away the lead, many people think that he has changed a lot, in fact, Li Xiang knows in his heart that he is just gradually showing the image of the demonic and genius gunsmith in his previous life.
Originally, in this life, he just wanted to live a good life with Ye Hitomi, but in the end, he still had to come this far.
But since he has taken a step, Li Xiang will not stop, he will move forward bravely and not repeat the mistakes of the past.
The two of them held their wine glasses and nodded slightly, they went to [Ragnarok] and [Earth Resurgence] two player universities respectively, Tianyin is a guardian major, and Xue Ni studied theology, and is now the vicar of the Holy Costume Church in City 0126, and will be promoted to branch leader after graduation.
Obviously, they didn't think that they could enter Li Xiang's inner circle.
"If we need to, we can drop out of school and come in to help. Compared with many people present, Tianyin felt a little restrained and inferior, at first she thought that Li Xiang had taken a fancy to herself and Xue Ni's bodies, but now that she looks, many of the beauties present are more beautiful and sexy than them, which makes her only confidence lost.
Now that the Cicada Dew Temple family is attached to Li Xiang, if he kicks himself away, he really doesn't know how the family should live.
Xue Ni, who was even more shy, was also extremely nervous, holding the wine glass in both hands, and the buttons in front of the holy clothes were about to be squeezed by her.
"No, no, you just follow your own plan. Li Xiang waved his hand and looked away a little embarrassedly, Xue Ni seemed to have developed a lot, as if she had become the most majestic of the women present.
But he is still wearing a very slim and shaped holy robe......
This Nizi's nervous appearance hasn't changed at all.
In fact, Li Xiang is a very simple person, as long as he is a friend, he is willing to pull hard, but it is more difficult to become his friend.
"Okay, okay, just tell me about your surprise, it's too bad to be surrounded by such a large group of beauties, but the protagonist is not me, I have to go back quickly, so as not to become your green leaf. Wang Bo smiled and urged on the side to ease the atmosphere.
Speaking of surprises, others also looked at Li Xiang, their group of core figures of the Crimson Moon family rarely gathered, and this time they were all summoned, obviously to announce something important.
Li Xiang will not disappoint them every time.
"A few good news and a few bad news, I'll start with the good ones. Li Xiang took a sip of red wine and said with a smile, "First of all, I would like to introduce our two new members, Twilight from the Blood Clan and Na Sara from the Werewolf Clan. They have all reached the level of Level 3 magicians, and they will settle here in the future, and they may even relocate their families, Wang Bo, you can arrange it. ”
"Okay, no problem. Wang Bo smiled, but his heart was extremely shocked, looking at the humble appearance of the two girls of different races, he thought it was a maid or a slave girl that Li Xiang bought, but depending on the situation, this age is a level 3 magician cultivator, obviously in the blood clan and the werewolf clan are young leaders with a lot of weight!
When did this guy get involved with the other race again?
Level 3 magician is already the top combat power in City 0126 at present!
"With them here, you don't have to rely on Unit 169 for many of your operations. Again, as I said before, we welcome homeless cultivators here, but the premise is that they must be innocent, have a criminal record, and those who have problems will not be accepted. In the future, the recruited personnel will be led by them to form an urban law enforcement team. Li Xiang said coldly, "Remember, now the city is becoming more and more mixed, and in the face of the enemy, we have only one solution, kill!"
"Hmm. The crowd nodded.
"The good news is that I'm going to set up a branch of Crimson Heavy Industries in the Far North, which is already set up and needs someone to come and help me get there. One, please. Li Xiang looked at her, this was his first woman in this world, two lives, Li Xiang did not have much restraint on the affairs of men and women, but he was not extravagant.
After talking to Fei Yujing, he was even more convinced, and he only had Mingxu in his heart.
Therefore, he was a little ashamed of No. 1 in his heart, even if she took the initiative to dedicate herself at the beginning.
This can be regarded as a kind of compensation, and letting her stay in Lancelot Manor can avoid many disasters that may occur in the future.
"Eh, eh?" No. 1 was stunned, but quickly understood the meaning of his words, she could be coquettish to Li Xiang like she did just now, but the premise was a casual occasion, and it was obviously not now, so No. 1 quickly restrained his expression and nodded solemnly, "I will definitely complete the task well." ”
"Well, excuse me, there...... It is also the former home of my father. Li Xiang hesitated, but still said it.
Several people were stunned, and No. 1 covered his mouth, excited.
Even if he doesn't have himself in his heart, he cares about himself very much, and for her, that's enough.
Huo Feng glanced at No. 1 with some envy and simmered red wine.
"The last good news......" Li Xiang smiled mysteriously, "Are you ready?"
"Say it quickly, it's always whetting our appetite. Hunter pushed him and said, "How surprised?"
"I stole Wessex's essentia extraction technology. After thinking about it, Li decided to use the word "stealing", "Oh, don't be too happy, it's only a part." ”
“...... Wait, let me slow down. Wang Bo felt that his head was a little hot, and the others were completely stunned.
Essentia extraction technology?
That's the core capital of Wessex.
It's a technology that the five thrones can't even covet.
"Y-You're not kidding?" Hunter Kong was also a little stunned, she knew better the pain of resource shortage, essentia has always been a cultivator's favorite thing, there is no one.
However, the only way to buy essentia is to go to Wessex, and the price is set by them.
"Heavenly ......" Huo Feng's hand holding the red wine was slightly red from too hard, "Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Don't be too happy, just steal a small part. Li Xiang waved his hand indifferently, he had something more shocking to say, "It's probably just a prototype." From what I've observed, Wessex is collected using a magic circle placed under the essentia extraction tower, which is fast and produces the rarest essentia solids. ”
"What I stole was a very marginal technology, and after my modification, I could only use special mechanical devices for essentia gas extraction. Li Xiang spread out the drawings in his arms and explained his "masterpiece" in detail: "The production of this mechanical device is very complicated, difficult, and requires a very good mechanic. It also requires a large supply of resources, but once you start extracting, you can produce results. A device works 24 hours a day, and can produce 1,000,000 standard tubes of essentia gas, about 100 million Blue Star Coins, or 3 billion Blue Star Coin a month. ”
"Three billion ......" Wang Bo was a little confused, and suddenly, he felt that the business empire he planned was a joke.
Now the Crimson Moon Group under his control has a total output value of less than one billion a month, which is still the gross profit without deducting various expenses.
According to the current development speed of Crimson Moon, it would be very good to have a profit of five or six billion Blue Star Coins a year, after all, there are still many people to raise and many resources to consume.
This output efficiency is already very good, and they are all the best in the upper family, after all, they have only been established for a short time, and Wang Bo is also proud of it.
But now he has been completely conquered by Li Xiang.
A machine has a net income of 36 billion Blue Star Coins a year, and with such a speed of wealth accumulation, I am afraid that in a year or two, Crimson Moon can enter the ranks of the family.
No wonder Wessex claims to be richer than the Seven Continents combined!
"Don't be too happy, such a machine is extremely expensive, even for me, it takes a month to build one, and the cost of loss is also very large. For other people, I'm afraid it's even more difficult. I estimated that it would be good if the factory could complete one in half a year. Li Xiang is telling the truth, he designed this device because of his mechanical roulette and extraordinary talent, and the utilization rate is lower than that of Wessex.
Even so, it took him a lot of time to assemble it by hand, and if it weren't for the help of a group of old people at Lancelot Manor, he wouldn't have finished it so quickly.
And other mechanics who don't understand the principle are naturally not so fast.
This is still the most garbage device, not the core extraction, and the efficiency is only half of that of his own extraction.
As Li Xiang strengthens himself, his extraction efficiency will become higher and higher, but the mechanical device will not.
But for now, this one is enough.
"These things, tell us, is it really good?" Wang Bo looked at him and asked the question in the minds of all of them.
This is not a trivial matter, such a huge wealth and technology, if someone present sells information, or has bad intentions, it will be a big thing.
"I guess it won't be long before this comes to light. Information leakage is sooner or later, as for technical leakage?" Li Xiang smiled and said nothing, the device drawings are extremely complicated, but people with a heart can imitate it, but they can't let the device work without a core.
And the core of the launch is Li Xiang.
This is also where he has no fear.
As for information leaks. Venus had already secretly told him that it wouldn't be long before he would be put on the table as the new leader of the Tarot Fools.
It is normal for the son to master his father's technique.
She is now preparing to contact with Wessex, it should be that she intends to unite the Fool and Wessex, with Li Xiang, who has both bloodlines as the hub, although I don't know why she can confidently think that she can convince Duke Xiluo, but with his knowledge of Venus, this woman never lies.
"The most important thing is that I trust you all the people here. Li Xiang smiled, he didn't say it explicitly, he also had the intention of using this matter to screen the core members for the first time.
Hopefully, all of them will pass the test.
Several people were shocked and moved, and they had a faint premonition in their hearts, following Li Xiang to go down, maybe they could really create miracles.
As for the possible betrayal, Wang Bo, who was the first to ask, actually knew in his heart that it was the most unlikely.
Because they don't have to.
Except for Hunter, Twilight, and Nasara, who have the possibility of winning the player sequence, the others will not be able to touch that level in their lifetime, and they will not be able to become players, so the temptation of essentia extraction technology is much smaller.
They don't need a lot of resources to cultivate, and they understand the truth that they are not guilty of their crimes, and sometimes they have too much, and if they don't have the power to protect them, they don't have it.
And the one who guards them can undoubtedly only be Li Xiang.
"This important industry is handed over to you, Huofeng. Li Xiang looked at the fire phoenix in the corner, which was always silent.
