Chapter 57 Laying the Foundation

Looking at the blue dragon, Li Xian was suddenly happy, the bad water in his heart... ahem, it was already boiling.

"Hello, His Royal Highness, Prince Longsan. Can you tell me what the big deal is? It's also convenient for me to report."

Ao Han was immediately blown away by the word "noble", so he opened his mouth and said, "Aren't you trading sea soul silk, five thousand catties of stainless steel weapons for one catty of sea soul silk; you tell Li Xian, this The prince is very generous, 10,000 catties of stainless steel weapons, I can give you three catties of sea soul silk."

"Where's the ore?" Li Xian asked.

"Hey, the ore is so troublesome, just throw it away. It's worthless, it's everywhere in the sea."

Hearing this, Li Xian's eyes lit up, "His Royal Highness Third Prince Long, in fact, what our boss values ​​more is not the sea soul silk, but the ten thousand catties of ore. There are many ores and minerals in the ocean that are not found on the ground. Metal, that's what our boss values ​​most."

"Huh? So that's how it is!" The third prince of Long actually stopped in mid-air, scratching his chin with a dragon claw, as if thinking. To be honest, this thinking state is really funny, Li Xian almost laughed out loud.

After thinking for a long time, it seems that after considering many "difficulties", Prince Long finally made a decision, "Otherwise, I can give you two catties of sea soul silk and 500,000 catties of ore for 10,000 catties of stainless steel weapons. But you You have to transport it yourself."

"Transport it yourself? Then where do we transport it?"

"I'm drawing a small island in the sea, and I'll keep all the ore on the small island. Just contact Wei Zhe when the time comes."

This condition is simply a big profit! Li Xian did not continue to "squeeze" greedily. Before the power is not very strong, it is not appropriate to make casual moves. But the next moment, Li Xian pointed to the mirrors and lanterns in the room and said, "Does the third prince not want these treasures?"

"They're all mortal things, how can they be considered treasures!" Third Prince Long was very shrewd!

Li Xian said calmly, "Well, we will cancel the transaction of these things in the future transactions."

"What?!" The blue faucet stretched out in front of Li Xian, "How dare you cancel it? No, it must be a gift. Every transaction must give me 10, no, 100 lanterns, 100 mirrors , 100 other glass products. They are all ordinary things, and you are so stingy."

"Yes, they are all mortal things. How could Prince Long take a fancy to them? I forgot to introduce, I am Li Xian. His Royal Highness, Third Prince Long, nice to meet you."

"What, you are Li Xian?" Ao Han walked around Li Xian several times, and finally shook his head in disbelief, "You don't have horns on your head, and your cultivation is not yet at the foundation building stage. How can small mortals make so many exquisite objects?"

"That's not made by me, it's all made by craftsmen." Li Xian can now be sure that this blue dragon is definitely from the series of problem children, and it is also the best among them.

Ao Han's tail was on the ground, and his two front paws hugged his chest, his appearance was very funny, "I'm sorry you are too. Hey, don't forget the gift."

Li Xian smiled slightly, "It's okay, but I have to discuss it with Princess Ao Qingxue, otherwise..."

Ao Han jumped his tail when he heard this, "No! You can't discuss it with her! Absolutely not!"

"Otherwise, I plan to build some ships recently. The number may be 'a bit' large, and the volume may be 'a bit' large. I want to transport along the coast. At that time, I may have to borrow the reputation of the third prince of Xialong. Of course, in return , I will give His Royal Highness one-twentieth of the cost price of the commodity.

As long as you take advantage of His Highness's prestige and convenience, His Highness doesn't have to do anything, and you will have one-twentieth of the income. For this income, His Royal Highness can ask for gold and silver, and can also buy any items from Li Xian; and for the items that His Highness needs, Li Xian must give priority to supply. "

"Huh?" Ao Han scratched his chin, entering the state of "deep thinking", "No, one-twentieth is too little, one-tenth!"

"Okay, one tenth, everyone must not go back on their word, we swear to God."

"Yes, I swear to God, I will never go back on my word."

Therefore, the poor Third Prince Long sold the huge profit of shipping for only one-tenth of the price—you know, the customs on the earth collected taxes according to 100% or even 200% of the commodity price. and the Third Prince Long sold it at 10% of the price of the product, and vowed to "never go back on his word."

The most important thing, as Li Xian said, is the cost price of the product, not the actual selling price!

Sure enough, it was a big deal, but the big deal of the third prince Long and the big deal of Li Xian were not the same thing. In fact, the Third Prince Long is still very proud at this moment, just letting Li Xian run on the sea can charge one-tenth of the value of the goods, which is a great thing.

In fact, at this moment, no one can accurately realize the profit of sea transportation - and no one dares to go to sea casually, and after the Third Prince Long returned and proudly told Ao Qingxue about this, Princess Long was also very happy.

Of course, that's something to say later, anyway, right now Li Xian was overjoyed, and directly threw Ao Han into a small warehouse of the glass products and lantern factory, letting this guy go crazy by himself.

Ao Han was really crazy. He wanted to get something sneakily, but he didn't expect to get a warehouse of treasures, thousands of glass products and some exquisite lanterns, which made Third Prince Long very happy to play.

The Third Prince Long was having fun, and Li Xian was also maddened with joy. On the one hand, he asked people to receive the 10,000 tons of ore, and on the other hand, he began to gather everyone to agree on the next development strategy.

This discussion lasted for half a month. And this time, the discussion has completely established the future development pattern of Brilliant Star Trading Company.

First of all, Brilliant Stars Trading Company was renamed: Brilliant Stars Group, which is a large-scale group integrating scientific research, practice, education, industrial production, commerce, and services, and put forward the concept of "business kingdom" for the first time.

We don't fight for hegemony, we don't build a country, and we don't fight for independence, but we will be able to influence the fate of a country! This is a business kingdom based on technology and industry, a nominal and conceptual kingdom!

When this great concept was proposed, Xu Ren, Beichen Yuqing, and Fang Shijing were the most excited. As counselors, what they hoped most was of course to be useful; to the vast future.

Secondly, Xia Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief; during this period of time, Xia Qingqing has always had an idea - Li Xian is not trying to rebel; yes, Li Xian is a hidden star, but he still has a big brother! Now that Li Xian proposed this idea, Xia Qingqing was relieved.

In addition, everyone, that is, the top management of the Brilliant Star Group, is also rejoicing. Everyone likes development and prosperity-this is called a bright future.

After that, the leadership of Brilliant Star Group was also basically determined.

Xu Ren, as the head of the planning department of the group, is similar to the position of "the leader of the group's think tank". He is responsible for all related matters and is directly responsible to Li Xian.

Xu Ren has Beichen Yuqing, Fang Shijing and Ling Zhifeng under his command. Among them, Beichen Yuqing is temporarily in charge of external business development and market strategy, while Fang Shijing is mainly responsible for the internal situation of the group, and is also temporarily in charge of finance and procurement. Ling Zhifeng is an exception. Every plan, etc., requires Ling Zhifeng to calculate the good and bad.

After all, Xia Qingqing is a princess, and she has suffered a lot, so her ability should not be underestimated; after all considerations, Li Xian asked Xia Qingqing to be in charge of education, and education is what Li Xian cares most about.

Next is the various branches and divisions.

Liu Leigang is in charge of armed security. In the current environment, Li Xian must have his own armed force, and this force must be strong enough.

The research department is still Tang Rong, and now there are many, many researches on engines, generators, electromagnetic furnaces, various formations, various wires, etc., all of which are arranged by Tang Rong himself.

According to Tang Rong's report, He Wenlong was in charge of the wires, Huang Bingchu was in charge of the engine, and Hu Juncai, promoted from the smelting branch, was in charge of the smelting and research of black iron and red copper. There is also the newly added Ministry of Electricity, which is in charge of a person named Peng Yongguang.

A welding department has also been newly added, and as mass production unfolds, it is no longer possible to use only spells. A person named Zhang Xiaowu is in charge; but welding is still in the research stage for the time being.

The machinery factory is still Liu Bin, but three new departments have also been separated: locomotives, which are in charge of 'Xie Wenjie'; ships, which are in charge of 'Wan Sheng'; aircraft, which are in charge of 'Yun Feihong'. Yun Feihong is one of the few women in this promotion, and she has attracted a lot of attention.

There is also a little episode here. Many people can't understand Li Xian's special proposal of the aircraft department and concept, and feel that it is not very useful-Jin Danqi can fly with the sword; only Yun Feihong is interested.

There is also a textile branch factory, and Wu Juanjuan officially became the deputy director of the textile branch factory.

A concrete branch was officially added, and Xiang Yun was in charge. With the emergence of electromagnetic furnace technology, Xiang Yun finally overcame all difficulties. The first kiln produced cement smoothly, and the effect was very good. Xu Ren was full of praise.

In addition, the smelting branch added a department "parts department": responsible for the production of bearings, spindles, screws, tools, etc. The person in charge is Ma Xiaoliang.

A separate department from the mechanical department is responsible for precise measurement, including the research of various precision tools, as well as the research and production of timing tools such as clocks and watches. The person in charge is Zhou Ruikai.

In addition, a new branch factory, the rubber factory, was established separately, not only to study general glue, tape, etc., but also to study-rubber and tires! For the time being, the tires are all made of cowhide, ordinary animal skin, etc., which can be used and are indeed good, but Li Xian still wants "rubber". The person in charge of the rubber factory is "Tang Xiaoni", a person promoted from the textile branch factory. There are many excellent crafts in the family, such as rolling cowhide tires.

So far, with the support of short-lived, crazily, and nearly cheating methods from practitioners, Li Xian's industrial foundation has finally been established.

At the end of the summary, Xu Ren made a small suggestion: "Young master, manpower is starting to run short again, and food and other things are also starting to be in short supply. I plan to buy refugees from all over the Great Xia Kingdom and buy food at the same time."

"Wonderful!" Upon hearing Xu Ren's plan, Li Xian was overjoyed. Sure enough, he is a counselor.

Today, a large number of refugees have had a serious impact on the separatist regime. This is the world of practice. There are many experts among the refugees, and it is not uncommon for refugees to attack the army. If these refugees could be "purchased", the separatist regime would surely burst into tears; then it would be very convenient to buy food along the way.

As for the refugees, as long as Li Xian can provide good conditions here, there will be no objections.

But this is all a plan. Can Li Xian, who has completed the initial accumulation, continue to go on?
