Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 422: Energy project of the three oil departments launched

Chapter 422: 422: Energy project of the three oil departments launched

The head of Sanyou, Hall Master Luo’s secretary, who was inspecting various major domestic aircraft manufacturing factories, suddenly received a call.

He promptly leaned over and whispered a few words to Hall Master Luo.

Hall Master Luo’s expression turned serious.

He ended all of his schedules for that day.

Then, he immediately went to Shencheng City.

When his personal car entered the Gu Mansion Garden, the guard did not dare to stop him, letting him through immediately.

But upon reaching the Gu Mansion, the security still registered and reported his arrival.

Without an appointment, even as Hall Master, Hall Master Luo couldn’t enter.

The chief guard came out and signaled the gatekeeper to let him pass, then Hall Master Luo’s car drove into the Gu Mansion.

After walking through a stretch of a park garden, he finally arrived at the main hall of Gu Mansion.

Before the secretary could open the door, Hall Master Luo opened it himself and hurried inside.

Eileen had been waiting at the door for a long time, and she led him to meet Gu Feng.

Gu Feng was in the backyard pavilion working on a type of magic artifact when Hall Master Luo approached and bowed, greeting, "Elder Gu, hello."

"How is your department doing with managing the solar nuclear fusion energy extraction progress? I’ve read in the news that many aircraft companies with quotas have already developed the first generation of aircraft and are just waiting for the energy supply," Gu Feng asked.

Hall Master Luo said with a grievance, "Honestly, Elder Gu, we’ve negotiated with the Pill Association, but other departments are unwilling to coordinate with us and give precedence to recruiting Foundation Establishment Cultivators for our mining personnel."

His department now held magic artifacts given by Gu Feng that could go to the sun to extract nuclear fusion energy, but none in his department were at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

He had tried negotiating with other departments and families to see if the Pill Association could share a portion of the monthly produced Foundation Establishment Pills with them and that Sanyou’s department would pay for them.

But all the major families were busy enhancing their own foundations and waiting for the Cosmic Transmission Array to activate for new ventures, so hoarding Foundation Establishment Pills was crucial.

Thus, the major powers of the courtyard were unwilling to let the share of elixirs assigned to Sanyou’s department by the Pill Association go to them.

Hall Master Luo felt helpless.

After all, his foundation wasn’t as deep as other department heads; he was the first new head promoted after the reorganization of Sanyou, and he didn’t have as much influence within the conglomerate as other heads did.

Gu Feng’s hands, which were making a compass, suddenly stopped.

Hall Master Luo, feeling anxious, quickly lowered his head, afraid that he might be reassigned or replaced because he had failed to manage the project effectively.

Or perhaps the project would be given to another Hall Master?

He actually had no choice as he had vied for this project initially to potentially enhance the status of his department within the conglomerate.

He hadn’t expected the project to start off on the wrong foot.

Gu Feng then turned to Eileen and said, "Have your brother Roger come here."

Eileen nodded and stepped aside to call President Roger of the Pill Association.

Roger soon hurried over and bowed, "Teacher?"

While fidgeting with the compass in his hand and without lifting his head, Gu Feng asked, "How many Foundation Establishment Pills has the Pill Association prepared this month?"

Roger quickly reported, "Teacher, the Pill Association has prepared 32 pills so far."

"Give them all to the Sanyou department," said Gu Feng.

Roger immediately responded, "Yes, Teacher."

Hall Master Luo was overjoyed at the side.

Gu Feng said to Hall Master Luo, "Your department doesn’t need to offer market price to other families, just give them 10% more than the material cost."

Hall Master Luo, "Yes, Elder."

Their oil department actually didn’t have much money, as their revenue had significantly declined since the continuous drop in oil prices.

If they were to buy at the current price of 20 billion US Dollars, the oil department would have to pay out 600 billion US Dollars for those 32 Foundation Establishment Pills, which was an amount their department simply couldn’t afford.

However, if payment was made in materials, they would only need about 2 billion, which would greatly reduce the department’s expenditures.

Although the national treasury wasn’t short of money, while everyone within the group was striving desperately to earn money for the treasury, if their department was constantly asking for money, they definitely wouldn’t be able to hold their heads high within the group.

Hall Master Luo tried his best not to borrow money from the treasury.

Gu Feng said, "Start the launch of the aircraft as soon as possible, and, before the competition ends, ensure that Foundation Establishment Cultivators can use it in space."

Hall Master Luo immediately bowed, "Yes!"

When Hall Master Luo and Roger left the Gu Mansion, Hall Master Luo expressed his concern to Roger, "If other family departments ask about this month’s Elixir quota, please help me explain, President Luo. It was the Elder who personally asked me about this, and I am not tattling..."

Roger interrupted him with a laugh, "Don’t worry, Hall Master Luo. No one dares to question the Elder’s arrangements; there’s no need for explanations."

Then, he took Hall Master Luo to the Pill Association headquarters.

While Hall Master Luo personally transferred the material fee with his department’s finance team.

Other major department factions were momentarily stunned when they received the refund of the material fee from the Pill Association.

Upon hearing from Roger that Gu Feng had assigned half a month’s Elixir quota to the oil department, all factions accepted the outcome without asking for reasons.

Afterward, the oil department managed to have over thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivators, who started using the Magic Artifacts Gu Feng provided their department to explore nuclear fusion energy sources.

Upon receiving the first batch of 1 ton of energy source, Hall Master Luo initiated a meeting within his department on how to launch it into the market to start generating profits.

Representatives from the ten global groups licensed to supply aircraft attended this meeting.

"A liter of Solar Nuclear Fusion Energy Tube can boost an aircraft to travel 100,000 kilometers, the resulting speed reaching up to 100 kilometers per second, a thousand times the speed of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s flight. Using this speed, it only takes 1 hour to fly from Earth to the Moon, and just 15 days to the Sun. This efficiency is sufficient for any Nascent Soul Stage or below cultivators to quickly travel to other nearby unexplored planets after teleporting from Earth."

The representatives from various groups, observing the data on the screen, were visibly impressed by the potential of aircraft.

It also fully reflected the value of their operational licenses!

Clearly, with the supply of Solar Nuclear Fusion Energy, the aircraft market launches would become an essential part.

"Hall Master Luo, may I ask what is the supply price per liter of energy tube?"

Hall Master Luo managed to control his excitement.

A crucial moment had arrived, influencing an essential aspect of his department’s revenue.

He cleared his throat and stated, "Priced per kilometer, it’s 0.1 RMB per kilometer, and the fixed price for you is 10,000 RMB per liter of energy tube!"

The journey through space is long, and setting a high price could result in tens of thousands in fuel cost just for a trip from Earth to the Moon, which isn’t realistic.

After all, the future clients of these aircraft are cultivators below Nascent Soul Stage, and if you price it too high, they may not afford these means of transport.

Thus, this price was deemed reasonable by the oil department.

Four tubes equating to 1 liter of energy source would enable a smooth trip to a Moon-distance planet, costing the equivalent of 80,000 RMB for a round trip, which is completely affordable for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

"Then Hall Master Luo, how many liters of energy source can your department supply to our ten companies at the moment?"

Hall Master Luo slightly smiled, "As much as you want—our current daily production can reach 5,000 liters."

The representatives from several groups jumped at that, swallowing hard.

This calculation meant the oil department’s daily output was valued at 500 billion RMB?

Even if they couldn’t sell it immediately, they could stock up and gradually utilize it.

Just like petrol, it was a storable asset!
