Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

You could hear a pin drop in the hall.

Count Joseph stood there in a daze for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter, with a few turbid tears rolling down from the corners of his eyes.

"Help me...get through to Lord Carolingian."

……

After intimidating Count Joseph, White Wolf felt much more at ease. In order to avoid the matter being exposed, the other party would only try their best to suppress the news of the Integration Movement's actions, and it was estimated that the military would not participate in the investigation.

Now that her mission in Bratz City was over, it was time to return to Icestone Mining.

At this time, Black Steel International's special car came in handy. White Wolf didn't need to make a special trip to the train station. He just had to tell Miss Razer the destination.

Bratz and Koros were not far apart, and after driving at high speed on the shortcut for more than four hours, they arrived at Koros City as scheduled.

Bai Lang called Mr. Mu in the car in advance and learned that the infected people who were sent there last night had been properly settled. In addition, Miss Eyjafjalla, whom she had instructed, also arrived at Bingshi Mining seven days ago. The person who sent her there was an Ursus, who has now left.

The anxious White Wolf wanted to go back immediately. He urged Miss Razer to speed up many times and even offered to drive himself.

This situation scared the two people from Black Steel International. As professional security personnel, they had read a lot about the services of Ursus nobles before coming. None of the books mentioned having nobles as drivers and security personnel as passengers.

Some things need to be familiarized slowly through contact. Razer and Franka will slowly discover that when it is necessary to use aristocratic airs, Miss White Wolf will be more like a noble than anyone else, but in private, she will suddenly become cheerful and lively.

On the last day of July, Bai Lang, director of the Bingshi Mining Energy Research Institute, returned to her post. The first thing she did when she returned was to rush into the institute.

Miss Ayafara, who was discussing energy issues with Aina, looked up in confusion when she heard someone come in. She remembered that according to the institute's regulations, no outsiders were allowed to enter during work hours.

After seeing who was coming, she opened her mouth in surprise: "Miss White Wolf, you are here."

Of course, Eyjafjalla would never forget Miss Rupert, who would always come to discuss her wonderful ideas with her after her speeches. Although her professional knowledge was close to zero, she could always come up with wonderful ideas that refreshed her. Moreover, even though she was obsessed with research work, she had to admit that it was a very comfortable thing to watch Miss White Wolf.

Eyjafjalla didn't know that her call caused great doubts to her new friend Aina.

White Wolf realized that there was something wrong with his identity. Fortunately, only Eyjafjalla and Aina were in the room, so he quickly explained: "White Wolf is my code name in Rhodes Island, but due to some circumstances, I want to keep it a secret. In this place, Miss Eyjafjalla, please try to call me Olicia, okay?"

"Okay, Olicia." Eyjafjalla repeated with a smile on her face.

In fact, when they were in Rhodes Island, Dr. Kal'tsit had reminded her, and she had always said the name Olicia, but when she suddenly saw the white wolf, she instinctively called the other party's real name.

White Wolf smiled and held out his hand: "Well, I'm Olicia, Miss Eyjafjalla, and you're very welcome."

Volume 5: Chapter 89: Second Meeting

In the next few days, Bai Lang focused all his attention on the newly infected employees. Since the company already had a group of infected people, the placement of new employees went exceptionally smoothly.

So far, the company's infected employees, plus the people sent by the Marquis to help and more than 30 people from Black Steel International, have a total size of over 400 people.

This expansion speed exceeded Bai Lang's expectations. When she planned the employee dormitories half a year ago, she arranged it based on a maximum scale of 500 people. If the company continues to recruit large numbers of people, it will need to consider expanding again.

At the same time, the company's actual business is still equivalent to zero. Bai Lang is very clear that it is an extremely huge expense to feed the company's infected group and bear everyone's medical expenses. It will definitely not last long relying solely on the personal support of the Marquis.

Now, Miss Ayafara has joined the research team. Ina reported that the research work has made substantial progress. Under the new situation, it is necessary to reconsider the company's future plans.

On the third night after returning to the company, Bai Lang convened the research institute staff and department heads to hold the company's second round of development meeting in the conference room.

At the meeting, Bai Lang, as the host, once again showed her rare serious style. She first summarized the tasks arranged in the previous meeting based on the reports of other staff members.

Task one, improvement of the company's environment and construction of employee living facilities, has been completed by the logistics department led by Mr. Mu.

Task 2 is to popularize cultural knowledge among employees. This task is aimed at employees whose cultural level is below the average. After half a year of training, the task has been successfully completed.

Immediately afterwards, White Wolf announced the new work plan that he had drafted over the past two days.

Plan 1 is professional and technical training for employees, with the aim of preparing for industrial processes that may become popular in the future. The trainees are technical workers among the new employees in Braz.

Plan 2: temporarily suspend employee recruitment and shift the current work focus to the Bingshi Mining Energy Research Institute. The next action plan will be adjusted at any time based on research progress.

After discussing the specific action plan, the heads of the logistics department (Mu) and the security department (Hei) left, leaving the entire research department to continue the meeting.

The research department was the one Bai Lang interacted with the most. After all, she was the director of the research institute. As soon as the others left, Bai Lang stretched out her body in relaxation and said happily to everyone:

"How is it? Ina said there are results."

Tianhuo was the first to nod and speak: "Thanks to Miss Eyjafjalla, she helped solve the most troublesome crystal model problem. Combined with our previous research, the overall path of the project has been figured out."

Hearing this, Ayjafjalla blushed and stood up hurriedly: "It's all thanks to everyone's efforts. It was almost done. I only contributed a little bit."

Aina pulled Eyjafjalla's arm and pressed her shoulders to make her sit down. "Your crystal model is very important. We have been stuck here for a whole month. Without you, it would be normal for it to take another year."

Ceylon was the last to speak, and she gave White Wolf a suggestion: "Ms. Olicia, I think it's time to consider the commercialization of the product. The main research has been completed, and we can now combine the commercialization direction for later optimization."

White Wolf also had this idea, but he couldn't find the direction yet, so he asked, "Well, does anyone have any plans about this?"

She glanced at everyone. Miss Eyjafjalla on the far left had a blank look on her face, obviously she had never thought about this issue before.

This was not unexpected for her. It was said that Miss Eyjafjalla's research projects could not leave the Rhodes Island laboratory. Kal'tsit was probably also worried that her complex research was difficult to monetize.

Aina and Tianhuo also seemed at a loss, seemingly stumped by this topic.

Bai Lang's gaze returned to Miss Ceylon, who looked calm. Her intuition told her that the daughter of the mayor of Xiosta City definitely understood this kind of business issue. What's more, she was the one who raised the question first.

Not only White Wolf, but everyone in the room looked at Miss Ceylon.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on her, Xilan suddenly became nervous. She took out the plan she had prepared in advance and said in an unnatural tone: "I, I do have some ideas, if you want to hear them."

Ceylon was too nervous, Bai Lang thought. She glanced at the seats in the conference room and guessed that it was because the seats were too far apart that everyone became reserved and serious.

So she pulled the stool and squeezed next to Miss Ceylon, smiling and said:

"Of course we have to listen to you. Everyone come over here and sit closer so we can hear clearly."

"Oh oh." Ina's eyes lit up, and she was the first to take action. She actively moved a stool to sit next to the left side of the White Wolf, and the other two sat down next to the right side of Ceylon.

Sitting in the middle, being the center of attention, Ceylon's face gradually turned red: "Ms. Olicia, this is just a random idea I came up with, maybe..."

White Wolf smiled secretly in his heart: "It's okay, just tell me, if you have any questions, we can all come up with ideas together."

"Yes, that's right, Ceylon, just say it." Ina encouraged her classmate.

"Well." Miss Ceylon cleared her throat with a blushing face, glanced at White Wolf unconsciously, and then instantly turned her eyes to the plan, "This is what I think."

"Based on our current research progress, we can confirm that different source materials, such as waste ore from mining or secondary recycled source stone, different catalysts, different processing plans, different process conditions, etc., will affect the source energy reserves of the final product, and source energy reserves are one of the most important hard indicators of source energy batteries."

"Generally speaking, the current research phase is mainly about optimizing the process and selecting the best solution. My idea is that in the process of optimization, we should retain or even develop some disadvantaged solutions. Don't rush to question it. The disadvantaged solutions I'm talking about are those with low overall energy reserves but simple and easy process and low cost."

"In this way, the company can launch different levels of products based on cost and performance, just like the tourism services in Xiosta City, so that tourists of different levels can get the services they want."

Tianhuo scratched his head: "It's a good idea, and it sounds easy to understand."

Ceylon nodded and said, "This is actually a very simple idea."

After that, she glanced at the white wolf and said, "Miss Olicia, what do you think?"

At this time, Bai Lang was thinking silently because of Ceylon's inspiration. She suddenly raised her head, revealing a gentle smile with a hint of cunning between her eyebrows: "Yes, of course, Ceylon, based on your idea, I suddenly thought of a better idea."

Volume 5: Chapter 90: Miss White Wolf's Business Plan

For some special individuals, the attraction that Miss White Wolf exudes inadvertently seems to be a little excessive.

Miss Ina's brain was dizzy. Most of her soul had been hooked away by that smile that she couldn't tell whether it was cunning or seductive. She fell into a dazed and infatuated state.

Fortunately, her outward behavior was just staring at Olivia and refusing to let go, and there was nothing unusual. Other people's attention was not on her, so this special situation was easily covered up.

Miss White Wolf pinched her chin with her index finger and said slowly, "Ceylon just mentioned that we should keep more plans, mainly referring to some special plans with low cost and high cost performance. My idea is to keep all the low-cost plans, regardless of their quality."

Now, Miss Ayafara was confused. She could understand Ceylon's plan, but what Miss White Wolf said was simply against common sense. She couldn't help but remind her:

"Ms. Olicia, during the research process, there will be countless secondary plans generated. It is meaningless to keep all of them without selecting them."

The others, including Aina who had just regained consciousness, looked at the White Wolf in confusion. Their thoughts were similar to Eyjafjalla's.

Bai Lang glanced at the expressions of the crowd and had a vague idea in her mind. She smiled calmly and said, "Ms. Eyjafjalla, our final product is mobile energy, right?"

"Well, it's mainly mobile energy or semi-mobile energy for civilian facilities, used to replace traditional chemical energy equipment."

"Have you ever estimated how big the gap will be between the best energy products we will produce in the future and the existing chemical energy products?"

"They can't be compared at all." Ayafara frowned and thought, "The advantages of source energy are too great. The reason why it is not used for civilian purposes is that the price is too high. But our solution has solved the most troublesome cost problem, and it can be used to eliminate the old products."

"Okay." White Wolf smiled. "Let's take an example. If a person buys our best optimized source energy battery and uses it to drive a desk lamp, how long can he use it?"

"To drive the lighting system, we only need the lowest-grade energy core. Based on the size of the standard energy battery, it should be able to last for at least five years."

“How much does our product cost?”

"Well, maybe a few dozen Longmen coins?" Eyjafjalla said uncertainly, "If the technology is mature, it should be in the single digits, provided that the price of waste ore is not taken into account."

Miss White Wolf persuaded her earnestly, "Of course you don't have to consider waste mines. Eyjafjalla, you see, our products are for civilian use and have low costs, so of course we can't sell them too expensive, right?"

Ms. Eyjafjalla showed the pride that a researcher should have: "Yes, we want to make it available to ordinary people."

White Wolf looked around at the people who were proud of themselves, chuckled in his heart, and said gently: "But, if this is the case, a person only needs to buy a cheap product every few years, and the company will definitely not make any money. How can we support everyone? We have a lot of infected people here, we can't just leave them alone."

"Or, we can raise the price a little bit." Ayafara hesitated for a long time and said.

“Can a small increase make up for the funding gap?”

"Okay, it seems not possible, then, how about we improve it a little bit?"

"Wouldn't that make it a luxury item? Just like Originium products, many people would be deterred from buying them."

"Ah, yes, that's right."

Poor Miss Eyjafjalla nodded helplessly, she had no idea what to do.

However, Bai Lang's words were not over yet. She continued to analyze carefully:

"There is another problem that needs attention. If we suddenly promote our best products, the existing energy market will be disrupted quickly due to the huge advantages of Yuanneng. Other large companies may unite to suppress Bingshi Mining, which is something we cannot afford at this stage. Therefore, I think that the first step is to launch a product with major defects. Specifically, it must be superior to traditional energy, but not so good as to instantly squeeze out the old products."

Having said this, White Wolf paused slightly and glanced at everyone. As she expected, everyone, including Miss Ceylon, opened their eyes wide and listened to this statement in disbelief.

She sighed silently. Eyjafjalla and the others were researchers who focused on scientific research. Of course, they wouldn't have so many complicated calculations. Only someone with a complicated mind like her would consider this level.

She picked up the pen and wrote in Ceylon's notebook while asking:

"What kind of equipment can our product be used for?"

"Large vehicle driven, individual Originium weapon level." Tianhuo answered quickly.

This result was not beyond Bailang's expectations. After all, the positioning of their own products was not in sync with the Pure Originium. The latter was used to drive city defense cannons, airships, and even mobile cities. It was a pleasant surprise that their products could be used in Originium weapons.

She drew three lines on her notebook, dividing it into four vertical boxes, and filled them with A, B, C, and D respectively.

"We can divide the products into four types. Type D is used to power micro-devices, such as flashlights; Type C is used for ordinary civilian appliances; Type B is used for vehicles or other large civilian energy supplies; Type A is the highest level of equipment, which has gone beyond the scope of civilian use and is only for special customers. The purpose of my classification is what Miss Ceylon just said, to allow different customers to meet their own needs."

Ceylon stared blankly at what Miss White Wolf had drawn on the notebook, her mind going blank. She didn't think this strange idea had anything to do with what she had just said.

White Wolf then asked: "Everyone can think about whether there are any technical problems with the solution I just mentioned."

"No."

"No."

Tianhuo gave a definite answer: "This division is related to engineering, and it is not difficult to implement in practice."

"That's good." White Wolf smiled slightly and continued, "The next step is the second most important part. We will launch four levels of products at once, but the first ones to be launched will be the I-generation models of each level of products."

"Although the first-generation products are superior to chemical energy, we must control the intensity and deliberately make them have defects so as not to bring too much pressure to the existing energy market. Later, the second-generation and third-generation products will be gradually launched over time. For these products, we will begin to select better processes. The ultimate goal is to use a gentle way to gradually squeeze out the old energy equipment from the market."

"The first generation of products can be called AI, BI, CI, DI, and the second generation can be called AII, BII, CII, DII, and so on. We release the next generation of products at regular intervals to attract more customers. At the same time, people who have used Yuanneng products will understand their advantages and will definitely be willing to buy the latest next-generation products. In this way, we can keep the iteration going."

Miss Ina discovered another problem at the right time: "But if we keep iterating, we will eventually reach the end."

A strange smile appeared on Miss White Wolf's lips: "We can slow down the process."

"slower?"

"Well, just like squeezing toothpaste, a little at a time will do. That's why I asked everyone to collect all the solutions in the research, whether good or bad, to facilitate the arrangement of the process route, and..."

Everyone's eyes widened: "And what?"

"In the future, there will definitely be people who will become competitors of our company and take our products away for research. Then, what they will see is something that is N generations behind and a mess, and they will not be able to learn anything..."

"Ah! Miss Olisia is so cunning!" Ina exclaimed excitedly.

"Is that so?" The white wolf blinked his big eyes innocently.

What’s strange is that Ina, who was so excited just now, looked at the female leader next to her and her face instantly turned red and she stopped talking.

Tianhuo noticed this scene at the right time, and quickly cleared his throat, covering up: "Aina means that Miss Olicia's plan is perfect, which is also my idea."

As she spoke, she suddenly had a strong idea. Otherwise, she should stay in Bingshi Mining. Following Miss Olisia seemed... quite promising.
