361 Military Industry Coordination System (1/2)
When Xie Siyun brought up purchasing a set of strong bows, shields, and heavy swords from Shanhai City and the other two territories, Ouyang Shuo realized the need for a military industry coordination system.
With Xie Siyun joining in, Moon Shines Over the River, Black Mamba, and Song Wen all entered the fray. It was not hard to imagine that Jianqi Leiyin, who was not in the pavilion, would also have such a request.
As the leader of the alliance, Ouyang Shuo needed to balance everything out.
The overall rule would be a prioritisation of trading over selling. Additionally, small orders would be completed before large ones. If one faced similarly large orders, they would need to break them into small orders to complete on a monthly basis.
Ouyang Shuo announced his ideas and plans to all of them.
”I agree!”
Feng Qiuhuang was the first to express her opinion. The heavy swords and Iron Futu Armor that Fallen Phoenix City produced was popular amongst both lords and guild leaders. They were the second biggest military industry in the alliance.
One could predict that just relying on these two items, the financial situation of Fallen Phoenix City would slowly improve and they would eventually escape their current financial predicament.
”I also agree!”
Bai Hua followed. The territories and guilds sorely needed the siege weapons and shields that Consonance City produced. However, they only required a limited amount, so there basically would not be the issues in coordinating supply.
With the siege weapons as an example, apart from during a large-scale war, one could not use it.
On the other hand, Consonance City was a huge importer of military arms, so setting up the coordination system was greatly beneficial to them.
Of course, everything would change in the future, and no one knew what kind of technical manuals they would receive next. Hence, it was best to build the system right now.
When he saw the two of them express their agreement, Ouyang Shuo nodded, ”Since that's the case, we must appoint a contact in charge of the specifics and for communication. Do you all have a suitable choice?”
Feng Qiuhuang shook her head, ”I cannot. I only have Qingluan as an assistant.”
When both Ouyang Shuo and Feng Qiuhuang looked at her, Bai Hua laughed in amusement, she thought about it and said, ”Then let's let Zi Luolan act as the contact. She has been in charge of this aspect for the territory.”
”Great, Zi Luolan is a good choice.”
Ouyang Shuo nodded in agreement.
”Who's calling me?”
Coincidentally, at the exact same moment, Zi Luolan walked over with a wine glass in her hand.
Ouyang Shuo was calm. After facing beauties such as Song Jia and Mulan Yue everyday, he had already grown immune. As a rich man, Song Wen was also used to seeing beautiful ladies.
Black Mamba was a mercenary; wine and girls were his medicine after a mission. Meanwhile, the middle-aged uncle Moon Shines Over the River only had Hong Ying in his mind.
After she saw the four males having no reaction toward her, Zi Luolan felt that her action were performed to a wall. She rolled her eyes. Deep inside, she felt somewhat sad.
Bai Hua looked over in amusement. It was not often that she saw Zi Luolan’s dejected face.
”Come over, we’ve something to discuss!”
Bai Hua gave a short introduction and description of the military industry coordination system.
After the briefing, Zi Luolan rolled her eyes and grumbled, ”Great lord Wuyi, this must be your idea, right? You treat me as a coolie, so you should take something out to show your sincerity, right?”
Ouyang Shuo was not going to fall for that and calmly said, ”Bai Hua recommended you. If you want benefits, look for her!”
”You!” Zi Luolan raged, ”I don’t care; if there are no benefits I won’t do it!”
It seems like she was determined to obtain what she wanted!
A beauty doing that, even a god could not stop it, so Ouyang Shuo could only ask Bai Hua for help.
Bai Hua acted like she did not see it. She picked up her tea cup and took a sip; her actions possessed an elegant flair.
Despicable Wuyi, he actually wanted to use her as a shield, and now he wants her help? No way!
As for the others, they were there to enjoy the show.
Song Wen and the other guys sat on alert, afraid of drawing the fire to themselves.
Ouyang Shuo knew that he could not escape this.
Since she wanted a reward, a normal present was not enough.
After he thought about it, Ouyang Shuo took out a small wooden box from his storage bag and passed it to Zi Luolan.
”What is this? You better not take out a stupid cheap present and think that's enough!”
This was the real personality of Zi Luolan; her words had grown more direct and bold. As for the purple enchantress in the fan's eyes, it was all their wishful thinking.
”Won’t you find out when you open it?”
When Zi Luolan opened the wooden box, a gentle white light shone from within. Focusing on the contents, one could see a piece of beautiful yellow silk as the base of the box. A string of twenty four pearls sat on top. Each one was the size of a thumb, luscious and filled. The rare factor of these pearls were their uniform size.
”Wa, so beautiful!”
Feng Qiuhuang exclaimed, as awe flickered through her eyes.
Girls naturally did not have the ability to resist pearls.
If placed in the real world, this pearl necklace would also be a priceless treasure.
