Chapter 26 Steady and Positive
"Got it. I'll follow what Bai Ye said. I'll announce this reward and punishment system at the meeting tomorrow."
Seeing that Yahiko was very sensible, Bai Ye nodded slightly, and then seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, I won't participate in tomorrow's organizational meeting. I look forward to your performance."
"Why? It was you who proposed the idea of establishing a reward and punishment system."
Yahiko didn't understand Bai Ye's reluctance to attend the organizational meeting. In his opinion, this was a good opportunity for Bai Ye to show up, and maybe it could change Bai Ye's extreme image in everyone's eyes.
"Yahiko, someone has to do the dirty work in the organization. If you don't want to, I'll have to do it."
"And you will definitely promote the concept of mutual understanding between people at the meeting. Instead of arguing with you at that time, it would be easier not to go."
Bai Ye looked into Yahiko's eyes and said directly.
Yahiko was stunned for a moment, then showed a helpless smile, and stopped persuading Bai Ye.
As companions in the same organization, the two can sit down and talk seriously for the development of the organization, but when it comes to the dispute of ideas, even if the two sides are good friends, they cannot agree with each other's views.
He believes that peace comes from mutual understanding between people, and force is secondary.
As long as there is a possibility of solving the problem peacefully, he will try his best.
Bai Ye seems to believe in force more, and does not believe in the concept of mutual understanding between people. When facing some enemies, he will choose to subdue them, while Bai Ye will kill them directly.
This is their biggest disagreement.
Thinking of this, Yahiko also gave up the idea that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.
After Nagato refused the position of leader and Bai Ye showed the fighting power that a leader should have, he had the idea of passing the position of leader to Bai Ye.
But now Yahiko hesitated again. No one can guarantee that after Bai Ye becomes the leader, will he lead the Akatsuki organization to go astray.
Yahiko's tangled expression was seen by Bai Ye. He did not say much. After saying hello, he left the office.
He could roughly guess Yahiko's thoughts and understood that Yahiko had the idea of passing on the throne.
But he had to nip this in the bud. The leader of Akatsuki could only be Yahiko at present. He didn't want to waste his precious time managing the development of Akatsuki. It would be better to be a leader's consultant with some power.
And if Yahiko, the good old man, didn't become the leader, Akatsuki's cohesion would not be so strong.
Walking in the Akatsuki base, Bai Ye could clearly feel that the eyes of the surrounding ninjas looked at him differently.
Although he still greeted them as usual, there was obviously awe in his expression. This was the benefit of showing strength. He would attract attention wherever he went, and his status was also improved a lot.
Before going to the training ground, Bai Ye remembered what he promised Nagato and walked towards the living area.
Nagato told him that after knowing that the sale of detonating talismans was very profitable, Xiaonan would stay in the house every day to make detonating talismans. Only when selling detonating talismans would he leave the base and go to the black market.
It was a good thing for Xiaonan to make money, but Nagato was very worried about whether Xiaonan's body could hold on.
When he came to Xiaonan's room, Bai Ye saw that the doors and windows were locked, and there was a sign outside saying "No entry".
It seems that Xiaonan has refused to communicate with Nagato. No wonder Nagato is so anxious.
After knocking on the door gently, a tired voice came from inside: "Who are you?"
"It's me, Bai Ye."
Bai Ye explained his identity.
Not long after, Xiaonan, who was wearing casual clothes, opened the door, rubbed his dark circles, and said, "Bai Ye, why are you here? I thought it was Nagato and Yahiko?"
"Did you develop any new paper escape ninjutsu this time?"
Bai Ye did not answer immediately, but walked into Xiaonan's room. When he saw the detonating talismans stacked on the ground as high as a desk, his heart skipped a beat.
There are thousands of detonating talismans, just casually placed on the ground.
If it goes off, even if you master the secret technique of paper escape, it will be difficult to survive. Xiaonan is still bold.
After looking around, Bai Ye looked at Xiao Nan and said, "It was Nagato who asked me to come here. He told you not to work so hard to make Detonating Talismans and to pay more attention to rest."
"That's what Nagato would say."
Xiao Nan nodded, and then said tiredly:
"I also understand what Nagato means, but Akatsuki's funds have always been vacant. If it doesn't rely on selling Detonating Talismans, it will not be able to maintain the normal operation of the organization. I just want to make more money."
"By the way, Bai Ye, do you think I should rest?"
Bai Ye shook his head and then explained the market principle:
"Your body is your own. I won't persuade you too much, but as the number of Detonating Talismans you sell increases, the selling price of Detonating Talismans will be reduced. After you work so hard to make Detonating Talismans, the money you earn is actually not more."
Xiao Nan was silent for a few seconds. If Bai Ye persuaded her to rest like Nagato did, she would ignore it directly.
But she did feel the change in the price of detonating talismans these days, and those black market merchants began to ask for discounts one by one, so she worked hard to make detonating talismans, hoping to make up for the price drop through quantity.
After pondering for a while, Xiaonan asked: "Is there a way to solve this problem?"
"Of course there is..." Bai Ye nodded: "As long as we take the initiative to provoke a war, we can expand demand, and even take the opportunity to raise prices and make more money."
"..."
The method is a good one, but Xiaonan can't accept it at all.
Selling explosive tags is already the limit. If she takes the initiative to provoke a war, it is completely inconsistent with Yahiko's philosophy. She herself can't get over this.
Seeing Xiaonan's expression, Bai Ye continued: "There is another way, which is to reduce the production of explosive tags and leave the extra explosive tags for your own people to use, so that you don't have to be so tired."
"Reduce production?"
Xiaonan seemed to understand, but still nodded. It was enough to just listen to Bai Ye's opinions on making money, and there was no need to think too much about other aspects.
Seeing Xiaonan so educated, Bai Ye took the opportunity to talk to Xiaonan about some economic principles.
Although Xiaonan's face was full of confusion, she was still trying to listen, nodding from time to time to express her doubts, and finally watched Bai Ye leave her room with admiring eyes.
After walking out of the door, Bai Ye touched his chin and left with satisfaction.
Looking at the mountains outside the Akatsuki base, Bai Ye felt very comfortable.
Although he persuaded Xiaonan to make fewer explosive tags by explaining the relationship between supply and demand, he also fulfilled his promise to Nagato.
At this point, Yahiko was in charge of Akatsuki's internal affairs, Konan was in charge of its finances, and he and Nagato were in charge of its military strength.
Everything in Akatsuki was moving steadily and positively.
