Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

After saying that, he hurried to the old factory.

Wang Que looked at Raymondo and said, "Building a floating city still requires approval from the Seven Stars and finding a large enough area. During this time, I'll need you to take care of the factory."

Raymondo had no objection. When he entered the factory, he had already seen the huge Mingxia Floating Stone outside.

As long as Wang Que didn't lie to him, he would have no regrets.

"Of course, I will accompany you." Wang Que continued.

Raymondo nodded: "Okay, I understand. All future funds will come from here."

"Hahahaha, that's right." Wang Que laughed suddenly.

While talking,

Xiu Wen returned with twenty apprentices.

"Boss, these are the apprentices who are most familiar with grenade craftsmanship and have a certain knowledge of runes. In addition, they have also studied mechanical theory for a period of time."

After Xiu Wen finished speaking, Wang Que already knew the origins of these people.

But Wang Que didn't care. As long as he could use it, it was fine.

"Okay." Wang Que nodded, then turned to the apprentices, "This is Master Raymondo, a senior researcher at the Fontaine Academy of Sciences, a top talent. I invited him to Liyue specifically to help. You will follow him from now on. Do you understand?"

The apprentices looked at Raymondo eagerly, "Understood."

Although they do have other identities.

But the thirst for knowledge is not false either.

Liyue also has senior scholars like Raymondo, but ordinary people have no chance to learn from such people.

Now that Wang Que has given them this opportunity, they will naturally seize it.

Wang Que nodded slightly and looked at Raymondo again: "Then I'll leave it to you."

"No problem, but before that, please give me a sample and tell me the production process, otherwise I won't be able to transform into the most suitable production line." Raymondo said with a smile.

Wang Que slapped his forehead and said, "That's right, I actually forgot about this. I was really... careless."

He actually forgot that Raymondo didn't know the process of making elemental grenades, and asked him to help transform the production line. He was really stupid.

Just as he was about to explain to Raymondo, a lame old man came in from outside the door. No, it should be a middle-aged man, just a little old.

"Master, Lord Yuhengxing is here to visit."

The lame middle-aged man was the husband of the old lady whom Wang Que had met in Bubu Lu.

Although Bai Zhu had superb medical skills and saved the man, his foot still suffered sequelae.

Fortunately, Wang Que promised him that he could work as a security guard in the factory.

Now the family can survive.

Hearing Keqing coming, Wang Que was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Then please invite Yuheng here."

The lame middle-aged man nodded: "Okay, boss."

He respected Wang Que very much, a respect that came from the bottom of his heart.

Otherwise...which security guard would dare to stop Yuheng?

Wang Que looked at Raymondo again: "It seems that I can't explain it to you in person."

Raimondo waved his hand. "Official matters are more important. I'll take the others to sort out the layout of the energy conductors first."

After saying that, he called over the twenty apprentices and began to plan around the factory.

Wang Que also quickly saw Keqing coming in.

She was followed by four secretaries, Yue Haiting.

Only one is an old face, and the other three are new.

It can be seen that Secretary Yuheng is a "rotational position", and the speed of changing secretaries is really fast.

"Long time no see, you are finally back."

Keqing walked over and greeted him.

Wang Que also smiled and nodded: "It's been more than a month. It's really been a long time since we last met. I just got back and you received the message."

"I've been keeping an eye on the factory." Keqing smiled and didn't hide anything. Then she added, "I heard you created quite a scene in Fontaine."

Wang Que raised his eyebrows slightly: "So well-informed?"

What he did in Fontaine was reported back to Liyue so quickly?

"Ha, the General Affairs Department is not just there to eat and do nothing. Ye Lan has been fighting with that executive officer for a long time, and the intelligence system is also constantly spreading."

Keqing said, then looked at the production lines around her: "Are these the production lines you brought back from Fontaine? When can they be put into production?"

Wang Que: "Ye Lan has indeed always been very powerful."

After praising him, he continued, "These production lines still need to be adjusted, but I brought back a technical master from Fontaine, and they will definitely be put into production this month."

Keqing nodded slightly. "That's good. The production at the plantation has begun to gradually increase, and we need you to consume most of the materials."

Wang Que raised his eyebrows: "I heard that the materials have already been divided once?"

Keqing nodded. "Yes, the plantation produced nearly six million units of materials in September."

"I discussed with the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and decided to retain 30% for the development and maintenance of the plantation. The remaining 4.2 million units will be distributed as shares."

"Xiu Wen retrieved 2.1 million units of elemental materials on your behalf."

Wang Que's eyes lit up. Wen Shitou had mentioned this matter before, but there was no specific data. Now it seems that there are indeed quite a lot.

As for the situation where 30% of the materials are withheld as funds for the development and maintenance of the plantation.

This was completely understandable to him, after all, plantations also required money.

What really made him happy was that he was allocated 2.1 million units of materials.

He defined the unit of elemental materials, and one unit is the charge of an elemental grenade.

Two million one hundred thousand units of materials equals two million one hundred thousand elemental grenades.

After all of them are sold, it will be 1.5 billion Mora.

According to Wen Shitou's previous statement, the cost of elemental grenade materials has now dropped to one hundred Mora, which means an eighty percent profit.

That is 840 million Mora.

Of course, we must also deduct workers' wages, factory costs and other expenses.

Moreover, it is unlikely to buy all 2.1 million elemental grenades at once.

But this number is enough to make Wang Que happy.

However, considering that the production line is assembled according to the plantation's full output, the actual output can reach six million elemental grenades per month (Chapter 140).

Therefore, the actual benefits that Wang Que can obtain are expected to increase.

In a word, once the production line is opened and the corresponding buyers are found, Wang Que will no longer be short of money.

Woohoo, thanks Scar Brother.

If he hadn't taught me the potion bottle technique, how could I have come to this day?

Wang Que prayed in his heart for Scar, who might have already gone down the earth veins.

Chapter 231 Is Guyun Pavilion for rent?

"There's another thing, about the expansion of the plantation."

Keqing continued, "An immortal reminded us not to expand. An overly stable leyline isn't a good thing."

Hearing this, Wang Que nodded and suddenly remembered something that he and Zhongli had discussed before (Chapter 172).

According to Zhongli,

The earth veins relax and become stable, the impact of the earth veins is smaller, and the speed of memory erosion is slower.

In other words, the earth veins appear to be stable, but in fact, things that should have been erased from the earth veins have also remained.

In the long run, it is definitely not a good thing.

“So what is the current situation with the scale of the plantations?”

Wang Que asked.

Keqing said directly: "Two thousand acres."

Wang Que nodded slightly. "That means... we can provide about 12 million units of materials per month. Will this affect your plans?"

Keqing shook her head. "It won't have much of an impact. Twelve million units per month is enough to overwhelm the international market."

Before the emergence of plantations, elemental materials were collected from the wild by adventurers.

In addition, only a few scholars will grow it for research.

The most common ones are the scattered plantings in the terraced fields of Qingce Village.

There has always been a limited supply on the market.

Before, when [Tianheng Xuanzao] purchased a large amount of elemental materials through Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, Xingqiu said that in the second month, the material market would react and prices would start to rise.

At that time, the elemental materials consumed by [Tianheng Xuanzao] in a month were only 75,000 to 80,000 units.

This number of material purchases can raise the market price.

So if 12 million units of material flood the market every month...

The village dam blocked the tsunami.

"However, we don't intend to overwhelm the market. Ningguang and Feiyun Chamber of Commerce plan to control the Xumi market first. Those academic tycoons have money."

Keqing continued.

Wang Que was stunned: "Control the market of Xumi?"

"Well, don't underestimate Xumi. Before you showed up, Xumi was the biggest consumer of elemental materials. Their scholars were constantly consuming resources for research."

Keqing explained, then continued, "They plan to release materials to Xumi, directly occupying the Xumi original ecological market with low prices, and then gradually control the market, and finally..."

Keqing didn't say what she did in the end, but Wang Que could guess it.

Once Liyue's low-priced materials occupy the market and the local people in Xumi no longer make any profit from collecting materials, the number of people engaged in this field will naturally decrease.

The chain reaction was that the Xumi people completely gave up this market, and Liyue completely controlled the Xumi low-level elemental material market.

As for the final harvest.

Feiyun Chamber of Commerce may just be trying to make money.

The Seven Stars represented by Ningguang probably took a fancy to the technology accumulated by the Order Academy over thousands of years.

It's normal to exchange resources for technology, isn't it?

"Tsk, that's really good." Wang Que couldn't help but praise it.

Keqing smiled and said, "Thanks to you, we didn't have to fight amongst ourselves with the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, our plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Wang Que waved his hand and said, "Don't praise me. It was Xingqiu who retired, not me."

He was not so shameless as to take his friend's setback as his own achievement.

After enjoying the benefits, people also want a good reputation. Some people want both.

Keqing smiled and said, "Let's put things in perspective. For us, if you weren't here, Xingqiu definitely wouldn't retreat, and Feiyun Merchants certainly wouldn't retreat either."

As the first major change in the rights and interests contract after the Emperor's 'death', it is very likely to cause chaos.

Wang Que smiled and said, "If it weren't for your help, it would be difficult for me to have the foundation I have now."

He exchanged a glance with Keqing and said, "It's just about helping each other and benefiting each other."

Both of them laughed.

After a while.

Raymondo walked over from a distance: "Wang Que, I have finished the wiring. For the transformation of the production line, I need a laboratory."

Keqing narrowed her eyes: "Who is this?"
