Chapter 1330: The Decisiveness of Jinwu Business Group
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
As Zhang Tie was the Weiji General of the Western Theater of Operations of Taixia Country, even Zhang Yang should call him general in the headquarters instead of calling him younger brother.
Of course, Zhang Tie understood it too. After throwing a glance at Zhang Tie, he instantly noted, “Now that you’re all clear that you’re fetched here for tasks, I will put it straight. As I’m in charge of the logistics affairs in Huanzhou Province, Kangzhou Province, Ningzhou Province and Military Province, I’ve got an all-around plan within these days. I need your help. The following issues were to be solved: first, the insufficiency of all-purpose medicaments in the theater of operations; second, the production of Fiery Oil; third, the training of air forces in the theater of operations; fourth, the provision of armed equipments driven by Fiery Oil; fifth, the grains production in the theater of operations. If we could solve the 5 issues, I will never regret being Weiji General.”
As Zhang Tie expressed, he stood up and came to the front of that huge map of the theater of operations behind him. Closely after that, he gave out a cluster of green light by his finger toward the map.
The green battle qi, with the attribute of wood among the five-elements battle qis, carried a brilliant light. However, under Zhang Tie’s control, it was not destructive at all; nor did it destroy that map. It was just like the laser pointer before the Catastrophe for the sake of Zhang Tie’s narration.
It was the manifestation of turning one’s battle qi into physical shape. Knight’s visible battle qi had a very terrifying striking strength. In case of Zhang Tie’s battle strength, his battle qi could easily penetrate through metals like gold, copper and iron and kill powerhouses below knights as easily as killing livestock. It was the first time for these people at present to see Zhang Tie putting this trick to use in such a smooth and harmless way.
It was the manifestation of the high-level realm of cultivation base by turning one’s battle qi into physical shape and making it destructive. But it was just the necessary result of constant cultivation. Conversely, if one wanted to use his powerful battle qi in physical shape freely without causing any damage, it would require an amazingly high request on one’s controlling force just like that it was hard to make an irregular stone into an aesthetic sculpture by an alchemist’s bomb, though it was easy to destroy a skyscraper by an alchemist’s bomb.
Everybody at present was shocked by the green light on the map emitted by Zhang Tie’s finger so much that they almost forgot that Zhang Tie was going to say something.
At the sight of their amazed looks, Zhang Tie realized that this trick seemingly shocked them too much. Therefore, he could only pretend to cough twice to attract the others’ attention before opening his mouth.
“First, all-purpose medicament plays a remarkable role in the theater of operations. However, the supply falls far short of the demand for all-purpose medicament from Jinwu Business Group. Since I was promoted to Weiji General, I’ve investigated the number of all-purpose medicaments stored by all the corps in the theater of operation in the past half a year and found it was less than 50 million vials in total. That is to say, almost 1 of 10 fighters in the theater of operations could use one vial of all-purpose medicament. This situation needs to be changed. After contacting Commander-in-Chief Zuoqiu lately, I won a full confirmation from commander-in-chief toward the function of all-purpose medicament on armies of Taixia Country. According to the materials allocation reports handed by all corps, there has been a huge demand for all-purpose medicament among corps. Each corps would like a bit more. Nevertheless, our supply always falls short. In order to solve such a sharp conflict, I hope that Jinwu Business Group could provide at least 300 million vials of all-purpose medicament to the theater of operations by the end of this year. This figure should reach 1 billion in the next year. In order to guarantee that each fighter in the theater of operations could carry at least 2 vials of all-purpose medicament, the figure should reach at least 2 billion 3 years later…”
Zhang Tie pointed or circled with his cluster of green battle qi on over 20 places of the map as he said, “These places have advantageous natural resources within Peacewest Military Region. They could provide vegetables and fruits all the year round; additionally, they are abundant in medicinal materials. I hope to see at least 10 all-purpose medicament bases within the four provinces by the end of this year. Half a year later, I hope these bases could provide all-purpose medicament to the theater of operations. Because of the relation between Jinwu Business Group and I that you all know, in case of suspicion, I wish Jinwu Business Group could reduce the purchasing price of all-purpose medicament to its minimum extent in the theater of operations!”
“To defend demons and safeguard Taixia Country, everybody is responsible for that. As a member of Hua people, Jinwu Business Group would definitely live up to general’s expectation. I’ve taken 17 managers here. All of them will go for inspection across Peacewest Military Region for building all-purpose medicament bases. Within this year, Jinwu Business Group would establish 17 bases within Peacewest Military Region. Before these bases were officially available, Jinwu Business Group would allocate its resources across Taixia Country and guarantee the demand of Western Theater of Operations for all-purpose medicament first. Within this year, we will provide at least 500 million vials of the all-purpose medicament for the theater of operations!” Zhang Yang expressed solemnly at this moment, “As for the purchasing price of Weiji General’s Mansion about the all-purpose medicament of Jinwu Business Group, I will call it one gold coin per vial. This is definitely the lowest price in Taixia Country!”
After hearing Zhang Yang’s words, all the officials on the side of the Peacewest Farming Administration changed their looks. The purchasing price of all-purpose medicaments within the theater of operations last year was 3 gold coins a vial, which was already very cheap compared to that in former days; however, it still couldn’t meet the demand; Zhang Tie’s promise meant that Jinwu Business Group would give up hundreds of millions of gold coins’ profit a year.
Hundreds of millions of gold coins was an astonishing figure. In the future, this figure might become over 1 billion gold coins. After hearing Zhang Tie’s elder brother, those people who admired Zhang Tie’s good luck made head or trail of the case at once. It was rather Zuoqiu Mingyue’s good use of people than Qianji Hermit’s good luck. By having Qianji Hermit as Weiji General, the Zhang brothers would feel ashamed to make money from the theater of operations any more. Zhang Tie would save an enormous amount of money for the theater of operation on the item of government procurement of all-purpose medicament alone. Who else could have such an amazing ability? Therefore, the others were not qualified to compete for this position of Weiji General…
