Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

He also agreed to cooperate with the alchemist in the talisman business.

But now that he has solved the problem of the talisman production line... it seems that he is about to backstab his partner.

But then I thought, that’s not right. The talisman production line also needs someone to maintain it.

Elemental grenade workers can be transferred to production line operations, and the same goes for talisman workers.

Immediately, Wang Que looked at Xiu Wen and asked, "How many people are there in the Talisman Joint Factory now?"

Xiu Wen: "Five hundred people."

Wang Que: "I remember that we only had fifty talisman apprentices at the beginning, right?"

Xiu Wen nodded. "Yes, initially there were fifty apprentices and three hundred assistants. Later, more and more assistants became apprentices. Before the merger, we had one hundred and ten talisman apprentices."

Wang Que: "So how is the joint factory business now? How much will we get?"

"The joint factory was opened after you left Liyue. Last month's revenue only covered ten days."

"Five hundred talisman workers drew 250,000 talismans in ten days. Of these, the shield type earned 150,000, the divine movement type earned 50,000, and the tranquility talisman earned 50,000. The total profit was 133.3 million Mora."

"After deducting the cost of materials, the profit is 78.3 million."

"Also, the wages for the five hundred workers are thirty thousand Mora, and they work ten days, which is ten thousand Mora, so the total wages paid are five million Mora."

"One thousand five hundred auxiliary workers, with a salary of ten thousand Mora. Ten days of work, a total of three thousand four hundred Mora, totaling a total salary expenditure of five million one hundred thousand Mora."

"The final net profit was 68.2 million."

After a brief pause, Xiu Wen continued, "The Alchemist Family and the Seven Stars have reached an agreement. In exchange for accepting official control, they have agreed that the Talisman Factory will only pay taxes based on its net profits, with an interest rate of 15 percent."

"After deducting taxes, the Talisman Joint Factory made a profit of 58,055,000 Mora."

"The Fangshi family sent 29 million Mora."

Wang Que nodded slightly after hearing this.

Although the profit distribution was half on each side, in fact, Wang Que's previous talisman business only made about 25 million a month.

Now there are 29 million in ten days.

If it's one month, that's 87 million.

Much more than before.

If the trip to Fontaine had not solved the problem of the talisman production line, the cooperation with the alchemist family would definitely be profitable.

But now...

Wang Que's eyes turned slightly, he definitely couldn't stab someone in the back.

It seems that we still have to convert the talisman workers into production line workers.

But there is no rush for this, as he needs to make the talisman production line himself.

After rubbing it out, it also provides a physical examination talisman for the watch on Fontaine's side.

There is still time to take it slow.

Seeing that Wang Que didn't say anything, Xiu Wen continued, "Before the talisman factory was merged, our factory was still running for a while. During this time, we were tax-free and made a profit of about 15 million."

"So, the total profit of September Talisman is 44 million Mora."

Wang Que nodded slightly: "Well, what about the elemental grenade?"

Xiu Wen immediately said, "Last month, due to the gradual recruitment, the production of elemental grenades increased from 75,000 to around 150,000."

Fifty alchemy apprentices became one hundred.

Wang Que remembered that an alchemy apprentice could produce fifty elemental grenades a day in a standardized manner, which was similar to talismans.

"In addition, since the Element Plantation started providing materials late last month, our production costs have dropped significantly."

"So, last month our revenue from elemental grenades reached around 40 million."

If the number of workers doubles, the profit should increase from 14 million to about 28 million.

The extra 12 million or so should be the profit brought about by cost reduction.

Xiu Wen took a deep breath, his eyes brightening. "Last month's total revenue reached approximately 84 million, a record high."

Wang Que nodded slightly.

If it was before the production line was brought back, he would also be excited.

But once the production line goes into production, this number will soon be replaced by a number in the unit of [billion].

"Yeah, not bad." Wang Que smiled and nodded. "I won't touch this money for now. I'll just put it aside and provide it to them for research."

Xiu Wen knew that Wang Que had a clone.

After all, Wang Que went to Fontaine, but the underground laboratory was still running. He could hide it from others, but not from Xiu Wen, the factory's chief steward.

So, he knew that the "they" Wang Que was referring to were Raymondo and his clone.

In fact, it was Wang Que who was fed up by Pantalone.

More than 80 million Mora is not enough for him to level up, so there is really no need to spend money on it.

It just so happened that Raymondo's research also needed funding.

These investments are all for the purpose of making more money in the future.

End the communication with Xiu Wen.

Wang Que left [Tianheng Xuanzao].

To be honest, Wang Que is a little greedy after not coming back for more than a month.

The food in Fontaine is indeed good.

But he still prefers the freshness and fragrance of Liyue cuisine.

So, the target: Wanmin Hall.

……

Manmin Hall.

As noon approached, the atmosphere here was hot, like the flames in the stove.

The chubby Kitchen God was carrying a dish and serving food to people.

There was laughter and chatter in the shop, and occasionally you could hear some smirks and scolding, which were friends bragging and gossiping with each other.

In the corner of the shop by the window,

Xingqiu and Chongyun sat on stools, their clothes bearing traces of battle.

"If you ask me, bring more elemental grenades next time. If you encounter something, throw a couple to test the waters."

"Just like this time, those water apparitions looked harmless, but ended up exploding into something terrifying."

Xingqiu still felt a hint of fear as he spoke.

They had just completed an adventure near Qingce Village, where a broken secret realm appeared.

An adventurer discovered it and reported it to the association.

Xingqiu accepted the mission and went to investigate with Chongyun.

Finally, it was discovered that it was a secret place full of water illusions.

They thought it was simple, but the secret realm became unstable, the water shape-shifters ran wild, and they were nearly caught.

There's no way around it. Xingqiu is the owner of the Eye of the Water God. Although he's not immune to water transformations like in the game, he's certainly not very effective.

Fortunately, Chongyun was there, and he escaped by freezing all the way.

It is also being reviewed now.

Xingqiu felt that he should bring more elemental grenades.

This thing is so useful. I wonder how Wang Que developed it.

Chongyun nodded slightly: "You need to bring more, and also some protective talismans, so you can't take less."

He prefers protective amulets to offensive items like elemental grenades.

During this period, he often saw his family members smiling, and he knew that his family had made a profit from the talisman business.

He really wanted to thank Wang Que, but unfortunately, Wang Que was not in Liyue.

"What are you talking about?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice appeared.

The two turned around and saw a familiar figure standing outside the window.

"Ah, Wang Que!" Xingqiu exclaimed in surprise, "You're back from Fontainebleau."

Chongyun also showed a surprised expression. He was just thinking about Wang Que, and then he appeared.

Wang Que smiled and nodded: "Yes, I just came back and my mouth has lost its taste, so I came to Wanmin Hall and happened to run into you."

"Haha, that's perfect. We just got back too. Come in, I'll treat you." Xingqiu greeted with a smile.

Wang Que nodded, took two steps forward, entered through the main door, and then walked to Xingqiu Chongyun's table and sat down.

"How has the past month been?" Wang Que asked first.

Xingqiu smiled, "It's pretty much the same as before. I help out at the Guild of Commerce and occasionally go on adventures with Chongyun."

Chongyun also smiled: "I'm very busy at home, but I'm very grateful to you."

Wang Que waved his hand: "It's mutually beneficial. I also made money. No need to be grateful."

"Anyway, I'm very grateful. Working with you has made our family much better off, and we can now take care of some of the remote collateral relatives."

Chongyun whispered.

The alchemist family has been passed down for thousands of years, so how could it be possible that there are only people from that one village in Tianheng Mountain?

In fact, their tribe is very large.

Only some remote branches have moved away.

Just like the branch that Shen He belonged to, if nothing evil had happened, it would probably not have been known by the great elder.

"We are all friends. Xingqiu has helped me a lot, have I ever said thank you?" Wang Que said with a smile.

Xingqiu rolled his eyes. "Chongyun is kind, you are shameless."

After being teased by the two, Chongyun also relaxed.

Xingqiu continued, "Wang Que, how was Fontaine? Was it fun? Tell us about it."

Although he often slipped away for adventures, he actually traveled abroad very rarely.

That was the last time I went to Mond with Ying.

Among the younger generation of Divine Eye holders in Liyue, apart from the anomaly Wang Que, the only one who has been to Fontainebleau is Xin Yan.

Not only did she go there, but she also left some reputation in Fontainebleau.

When Wang Que was in Fontainebleau, he also went to the Steambird Newspaper Office and saw the report about Xin Yan.

[A genius at playing rock music, and even more so a master at creating atmosphere.]

Steambird Newspaper once commented on her like this.

Therefore, in the eyes of others, Fontaine is still strange and mysterious.

At least Xingqiu was curious.

"Well, how should I put it, Fontaine and Liyue are indeed very different."

Wang Que organized his words and spoke.

"Fontainebleau is a very advanced country. This advancement is not in terms of system, but in terms of machinery."

"I went there this time and saw a lot of Fontaine's kinetic machinery. Their technology is far superior to ours."

"Mechanical powered ships and various types of autonomous mechanisms are all things Liyue doesn't have."

"However, Fontaine is not without its downsides. First of all, the pace of life is very fast and it can be very tiring."

"And...their administrative efficiency is even slower than the General Affairs Department before the restructuring."
