Chapter 648: How can feudal emperors outsmart big capitalists?

The Jade Emperor's gaze fell on Wen Rui again, and he slowly said, "Emperor Wen, the Tiangongjian you are in charge of will start work immediately to manufacture the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers for the gods to use."

"I can't do that."

Wen Rui refused without a second thought: "A good cook cannot cook without rice. The replacement of 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals has exhausted all resources, and the warehouse of the Tiangong Supervisor is now empty. Even if we follow the old method and let all the heavenly soldiers and generals go to the Desire Realm to open mines, the raw materials will not be enough to equip all the heavenly generals."

The Jade Emperor frowned, looking unhappy, and said, "You are the director of the Heavenly Works Supervisory Office. You should do your job. I don't care what difficulties you have. Just find a solution as soon as possible. Don't delay the expedition to the Blood Sea."

Wen Rui rolled his eyes and said, "If Your Majesty opens the inner treasury and hands over the royal treasury to me, and then allocates all the materials from other departments to the Tiangong Supervisor, I can barely complete it within 20 years. You must know that the Thunder Department has 100,000 thunder soldiers, the Fighting Department has 56,000 evil stars, and the Tai Sui Department, Fire Department, Water Department, Smallpox Department, and Plague Department also have many gods and generals. It is really difficult to rely on the Tiangong Supervisor alone."

With the facts laid out, the Jade Emperor had nothing more to say.

The materials used to make the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers are not ordinary things like rice and flour. They cannot be made into a mountain and wasted at will.

Although the resources in the formless realm are abundant, their mining requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources. One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals worked hard for ten years and emptied the warehouse of the Tiangongjian before they were able to create one hundred thousand Ruyi Immortal Soldiers.

It would be a fantasy to create hundreds of thousands of Ruyi Immortal Soldiers in a short period of time, even if Taishang Laojun were to preside over the Tiangong Supervisor.

"I do have another idea, but it is forbidden by Heavenly Law. I need your Majesty's approval and imperial permission."

Seeing that the Jade Emperor was in a dilemma, Wen Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty ordered me to supervise the production of the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers, but it is only for the Ruyi Jade Plate's online game function. Why not just produce the game jade plate?"

"That makes sense. Then order the craftsmen in the Tiangong Supervisory Office to make the game jade tokens."

The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "How long will it take to complete if we only make the jade plaque?"

"About a hundred years..."

"Hmm?" The Jade Emperor was stunned and scolded, "Are you kidding me? How come it takes twenty years to make an immortal soldier, but it takes more than a hundred years to make a jade tablet?"

"The Tiangong Supervisor made the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers, but in fact, they only made Ruyi Dust."

Wen Rui began to explain slowly and in order to make it more intuitive, he also spread out his palms and released a cloud of golden mist.

"When the dust reaches a certain amount, it can gather into a Ruyi Jade Plate, which has the function of transforming into an immortal weapon."

As he spoke, the golden mist condensed into a golden Ruyi jade token, which then transformed into various weapons.

"This is called nanotechnology."

After the demonstration, Wen Rui took out a tablet computer from his bag. "This ordinary jade tablet only has the functions of connecting to the Internet and playing games, and cannot be transformed into a weapon, so the demand for immortal-grade raw materials has been greatly reduced. But even with such a simplified version, the technical content is extraordinary. If the craftsmen of Tiangongjian want to fully understand the technology inside and build a complete industrial chain covering this small tablet, it will take at least several decades of hard work."

The Jade Emperor opened his divine eyes and scanned the tablet computer that Wen Rui had built using the fairy-level nanorobots. He then compared it with the technological tablet computer that Wen Rui had taken out, and nodded as if he had realized something.

"It's just a common thing, but it's so exquisite. Although it's not magical or special, it's still a masterpiece that surpasses the craftsmanship of nature."

The Jade Emperor couldn't help but sigh, and then asked: "This won't work, and that won't work either. What do you mean? Just tell me straight away!"

"If we make it ourselves, we will inevitably have to vigorously promote Jiejiao education in the Heavenly Court, and I'm sure His Majesty will not agree. So we can only buy it instead of making it." Wen Ruitu smiled and said, "Please Your Majesty approve some import quotas. I will purchase a batch of tablets from the mortal world. It will only take a few days from placing an order to receiving the goods, so as not to delay His Majesty's selection of the marshal."

Wen Rui has always wanted to open up trade routes between the Heavenly Palace and the human world, open up the huge market of the Heavenly Palace, and dump the products of the mortal world in the Heavenly Palace.

Especially electronic products, such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, game consoles, etc.

The raw materials of this type of product are all common things, and their value is mainly reflected in the technology, with a very high added value.

You can make a lot of money by exchanging these mortal things for the fairy jade, fairy iron, heavenly beads and fairy grass from the heaven.

These ordinary objects cannot be easily imitated by the craftsmen in Heaven, unless Heaven also believes in Jiejiao, vigorously promotes Jiejiao's basic education, and cultivates a large number of Jiejiao professional talents.

Even if those craftsmen in Heaven used immortal-grade materials to make electronic products with similar functions, the cost would definitely not be comparable to that of the mortal world. Even a coffee machine would cost dozens of flesh coins to make in a factory in the mortal world, but it would cost tens of thousands of immortal jades to make it in Heaven.

In the past, there was no opportunity to ask the Jade Emperor for import permission. After all, the heavenly rules stipulate that gods should be pure and have few desires. Those human needs that satisfy desires and bring pleasure are all decadent and evil acts that violate the heavenly rules.

Now that he had finally found a reason, Wen Rui immediately seized the opportunity to bring it up. Even if it meant giving up the chance to embezzle a large sum of money from the royal treasury, he still wanted to create a precedent for the trade between heaven and earth.

"The purchase price of this tablet is only 2,000 fairy jades. Purchasing 200,000 tablets is only 400 million fairy jades. It is definitely a great deal with a small amount of money."

Wen Rui bewitched him, "To make 200,000 Ruyi Immortal Soldiers, the cost of Immortal Jade is an astronomical figure. The value of some rare materials cannot be measured by Immortal Jade. A rough estimate is 1 trillion Immortal Jade. It is 2,500 times the purchase price. It is obvious which of the two methods is better."

The price of a tablet computer in Liberty City is only two thousand flesh coins. Wen Rui directly equated the exchange rate of fairy jade and flesh coins, secretly cheating the Jade Emperor out of a lot of money.

Not to mention fairy jade, even the exchange rate between spirit stones and meat coins has now reached one to one hundred.

What's even darker is that Wen Rui doesn't just sell equipment, he has many other ways to make money later on.

The only function of the tablet that the gods got was to log in to "Three Realms Battle". If they wanted to unlock more game permissions, or download movies, access the Internet, or install social software, they had to pay fairy jade as a service fee.

A game costs you hundreds of immortal jades, downloading a movie costs dozens of immortal jades, and giving a big rocket to the anchors in the chat room costs 1,000 immortal jades...

This is where the big money is made.

The Jade Emperor pondered for a long time, as if he was thinking about the pros and cons. After a while, he said, "When mortals offer sacrifices to the heaven, they usually just ask for rain to ensure a good harvest. Isn't 400 million immortal jades too much? If this precedent is set, won't mortals be disrespecting the power of heaven?"

The Jade Emperor had not lived in the human world for long, so how could he know that the human world had become a completely different place. Now the Four Dragon Kings are all members of the Demon Alliance, and the technology of artificial rainfall has long been mature, so there is no need to worship heaven or earth.

"Business is business. Even if you are the Jade Emperor, you can't be a gangster and rob people. If you can't bear to spend such a small amount of money, then we can spend 1 trillion to make it ourselves."

Wen Rui said indifferently: "Buy it or not, just ignore what I said."

It doesn't matter if they refuse to buy it, they won't lose money anyway. Wen Rui can just settle for the next best thing and make a fortune in the new round of manufacturing of Ruyi Immortal Soldiers. This time, he will send all the gods and generals in Heaven to the mining team, and work together to add bricks and tiles to his small treasury.
