Chapter 99 Star Gold 1
In the lobby, everything became silent in an instant. Everyone stared at Ouyang Si blankly, their heads confused.
What is unexpected!
You have thought of countless possibilities before, but you just didn't expect this.
This is a typical bluff, but it leaves everyone speechless.
But having said that, being able to play tricks reasonably in negotiations is a skill!
Really good.
The scene seemed to freeze, and when no one spoke, Ouyang Si couldn't get up, and just bowed, bowed, and bowed his head.
It really is a gesture of asking for help, impeccable.
Gradually, everyone began to turn their heads around and look at each other, but no one spoke. They even took care to breathe carefully, not daring to make a sound, and some even held their breath.
Zhou Jue turned to look at Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao's eyes stared straight.
Ma Dan, it's time to not show up!
As for Ouyang Si, although he lowered his head, he also relied on his spiritual consciousness in the Nascent Soul Stage to see clearly around him.
In fact, Ouyang Si has no other choice, but there is one way, as the prime minister, he can't abuse himself like this.
There are too many differences between the Artifact Refining Guild and the Black Iron Guild.
The influence of the refining family is far greater than that of the black iron smelting family.
In the black iron smelting industry, everyone can have a hand now - since the Zhang family made public the water forging technique, the threshold of this industry has completely disappeared.
As for the refining family, each of them has mastered the 'core technology'.
One is a raw material supplier, and the other is a high-tech product manufacturer. The influence of the two is naturally not at the same level.
The Artifact Refining Guild involved a wide range, almost involving more than half of Qixia Country. Not to mention anything else, just talking about Zhou Jue's identity, which naturally brought out Nine Suns Sect and Xinglin Hall.
From Zhang Hao's point of view, this refining guild is powerful enough. One of the most important purposes of Zhang Hao's continuous promotion of the Black Iron Guild and the Artifact Refining Guild is to "unify some of them, become the Zhang family's support, and then ensure the security of the Zhang family."
So from the perspective of the Zhang family, the Artifact Refining Guild was very successful. By the way, he also expelled the Han family who had stumbled in the court, making the interior of the Artifact Refining Guild very 'pure'.
But from Ouyang Si's point of view, what he saw was a thorny Artifact Refining Guild - this is a hedgehog, but Ouyang Si is not a tiger!
Coupled with the fact that the national treasury is empty, the war is tense, and the emperor did not give too many promises, Ouyang Si can only choose this.
After a long time, Zhou Jue finally sighed, and said dryly, "Prime Minister Ouyang, let's discuss it internally, how about?"
Having made such a sacrifice, it is naturally impossible for Ouyang Si to let go. He shook his head: "Now the battle situation is at stake, and it may change soon.
Please the Refining Guild do it as soon as possible, the sooner the better! "
Zhou Jue frowned, he was still dizzy; Zhou Jue knew very well that he was not suitable for negotiation now. But obviously Ouyang Si was unwilling to let go.
"Uncle Ouyang!" Zhang Hao said.
Zhou Jue immediately cast a grateful look.
Ouyang Si and everyone turned to look at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao said slowly: "I also agree with Uncle Ouyang's statement. However, the guild is still having some difficulties now, and I hope Uncle Ouyang understands.
Although the current Artifact Refining Guild seems to be huge, it has only recently been established, and nothing has been prepared yet. It will take some time to have production capacity.
Secondly, we don't have the design drawings of the magic weapon of war, etc., and we don't know what kind of magic weapon of war the country needs, let alone our own production capacity.
So, right now we cannot give any definite answer. "
Ouyang Si frowned. He really didn't want to talk to Zhang Hao, but he had to. And what Zhang Hao said is also true.
After thinking for a while, Ouyang Si said: "I can give you the design drawings of the 'Spirit Turtle Castle', and even send craftsmen to guide you. But the design drawings of the Spirit Turtle Castle must not be disclosed, and the products can only be supplied to the country."
Zhang Hao shook his head immediately: "Then we won't produce Lingturtle Fort."
"You..." Ouyang Si was immediately confused by Zhang Hao's anger, and knew that he couldn't talk to this little bastard.
I heard Zhang Hao say slowly: "The Artifact Refining Guild was created with nothing.
If our first product is not profitable,
If we cannot bring hope and confidence to everyone in the first place,
If we start with our hands tied,
Then, it won't be long before the Artifact Refining Guild may fall apart.
Uncle Ouyang, when the country is in trouble, we are willing to help; but we must do what we can. It would be the greatest irresponsibility to the country if a potential refining guild had not had time to thrive in the future.
Uncle Ouyang, what do you think? "
Ouyang Si looked at Zhang Hao quietly, but finally nodded reluctantly.
It must be admitted that both the Black Iron Guild and the Artifact Refining Guild have brilliant prospects. If it develops, it may become a large pillar in the empire.
Some people may say, will the tail be too big to lose?
But Ouyang's thoughts go further - Nine Suns Sect and Xinglin Hall are representatives of the big tail, but they are also important pillars of Qixia Kingdom. Without Nine Suns Sect and Xinglin Hall, it is really hard to say what Qixia Country would look like now.
When the country is in peril, Ouyang Si first considers the peril of the country, and then the centralization of power.
If the state does not exist, then centralization is a joke.
It's just that the truth is the truth, but right now they are negotiating.
Ouyang Si tried his best to consider his words, and said slowly: "My nephew is right, but there is always a priority, and now the war is in full swing, but there is no delay."
Zhang Hao didn't speak, and turned to look at Zhou Jue: Hey, I've saved the day, now it's your turn.
Zhou Jue smiled lightly, nodded, and said, "Prime Minister Ouyang, now cooperation will benefit both, and division will harm both. The country needs weapons of war, and we need development.
I have an idea, how about sending craftsmen directly from the country to guide us in the production of magic weapons?
We will surely produce the most weapons of war in the shortest possible time! "
This requires technology in an aboveboard manner.
Ouyang Si frowned.
Zhou Jue continued, with a heavy tone: "In addition, if you want to refine magic weapons, you must have a special spiritual material."
"You want star gold?" Ouyang Si's eyes sharpened.
"Yes!" Zhou Jue said with certainty, "Star gold is an indispensable material for refining magic weapons. Most of the star gold in Qixia Kingdom is in the hands of the royal family."
Zhang Hao's ears perked up. Stars and stars are pure gold, a noun that he doesn't remember, and it sounds very precious.
Ouyang Si thought for a while before saying, "I can make very little decisions. Is 20 kilograms enough?"
"100 kilograms!" Zhou Jue said bluntly, "I guarantee that at least half of the star gold will be used in the magic weapons of war that the country needs."
