Miracle Throne Chapter 512

Chapter 512: Problem

Miracle City's City Lord fort was holding a strategy meeting.

Miracle Commerce's development reached a turning point, so this meeting's main point was to summarize the past and discuss the future.

Meng Qingwu was sitting in the vice City Lord position wearing her City Lord robes.  She had a solemn expression on that beautiful face. There were the tribe chiefs and the military officers led by Dongfang Haoran.  There were also several exceptional beauties who were all young and had their own good points. Each person had a serious expression on their faces.

At this time, a casual voice broke the serious atmosphere of the meeting hall.

"Hey!  Yun Yao?  Feng Caidie?  Why are you back!"

Chu Tian opened the door and came in, seeing these two people he hadn't seen in a while.  They were Yun Yao and Feng Caidie who were high cla.s.s managers in Miracle Commerce, but were working in Oldman Small Town.

Chu Tian was very casual, "When did you get recalled to the headquarters?  Why didn't I know!"

Feng Caidie had a gentle elegance, looking like a refined lady on the inside and outside, with an aura that felt like a spring breeze.  She revealed a warm smile when she saw Chu Tian, "There isn't any large matters in Oldman Small Town, so it's fine for Yun Yao's little brother Yun Xiao to manage it.  We received big sister Qingwu's order to transfer and it was a good thing the Transport Tower was finished two days ago in Oldman Small Town, so I came with Yun Yao to help."

Yun Yao looked over at Chu Tian and spoke in a sarcastic voice, "We've been in the city several days and you only show up now.  It seems like being a City Lord for you is very relaxed."

"You're mistaking me like this.  Actually I've very diligent normally, but this time you caught me when I was in closed doors!"  When Chu Tian said this, Nangong Yun and Meng Yingying rolled their eyes while Meng Qingwu glared at him, but Chu Tian didn't notice at all, "But since these two beauties came from afar, it's my fault for not holding a welcoming banquet for you.  Since that's the case, why are we holding this meeting. Come, let's go drink!"

"Sir City Lord!"  The financial minister Delores stood up in a somewhat unhappy manner.  This normally coquettish enchantress was currently even more serious than Meng Qingwu as she said in a sharp reprimanding voice, "Today's meeting is very important.  Even if you don't help us, you can't make it worse."

"Sorry, sorry, I was too excited."  Chu Tian felt bored as he sat down and crossed his legs.  He said to the young miss, "Then begin!"

Meng Qingwu said, "We'll start with the production department!"

The production department was a very important department, so naturally the most trusted person was in charge of it.  The production minister Meng Yingying quickly gathered her materials, "Our Miracle Commerce's production department has performed very well in one month.  The various production zones are producing 20% more than usual and there are over fifty new factories, with two thirds being in the Forest of Chaos. Other than that, we're using the Smart Brains to create automated production.  Currently……"

Meng Yingying gave a bunch of data before explaining the situation of the production zones, as well as introducing future production plans.  These were all very detailed, making Chu Tian feel like he was meeting her for the first time.

Meng Qingwu gave her opinion after hearing the reports.

Meng Yingying quickly wrote them down.

"Good!"  Chu Tian gave a very exaggerated applause, "With Miracle Commerce having a smart director like Yingying, our production line can definitely be guarded!"

Meng Yingying's face turned red.

She really didn't do anything because her elder sister gave her two Smart Brains and these were all the data and plans made by those Smart Brains after they a.n.a.lyzed the data.  Yingying just summarized it and added her own thoughts. With her elder sister in charge of the general situation, she didn't really need to make any plans.

"Our production lines are progressing smoothly and the research department is on the right line, currently being in the testing stages.  I want to show everyone a planned project first." Meng Qingwu waved her hand and a large screen came down. There was a busy factory that appeared on it, "Look, this is Miracle Commerce's new airship base.  We have recruited large amounts of talents and thrown large amounts of money to prepare this new large scale weapon that can control wars in the future. Because of how complex it is, it is estimated to take a year to finish."

A year?

This was just too long!

But this kind of complex giant weapon definitely couldn't be made in a single day.

Meng Yingying quickly said, "The production department will organize all the necessary factories.  Once the airship is researched, we'll make it as soon as possible."

A second screen fell down at this time.

Meng Qingwu pointed at the picture and said, "This is the design for the new Source Energy Weapons.  The company had recruited large amounts of experienced mechanical masters from the Great Zhou Country.   The Yun Sect and I think that their mechanical armours are very valuable and they can be changed with Miracle Commerce's technology.  Using the Source Energy Battery as a source of energy, adding in the Source Energy Shields, Swords and Weapons, we can form a Source Energy Battle Mech."

While she was speaking, another screen came down.

Meng Qingwu looked at Chu Tian, "What does the City Lord think?"

"This design is very good."  Chu Tian looked it over, "I believe that once the Mechs have been researched, even a weak soldier can become an expert.  But we can improve it a bit more. For example, we can add a power engine into the Mechs to make them faster and stronger.  It's best if we also add in flying equipment, so our Mech soldiers can freely fly in the sky! We can even install a Smart Brain in each Mech, creating information controlled battles….."

Meng Qingwu quickly waved her hand to cut him off, "Stop, stop, stop!"

"Does the young miss have a better improvement?"

"Although you have good intentions, they diverge too much from reality."  Meng Qingwu said with a sigh, "Miracle Commerce not having enough funds is the fundamental problem.  We currently have no way of researching such high level Mechs. Even if the normal Mechs are researched, it would be hard to ma.s.s produce them and it would be used for an elite troop."

"We're lacking money?  It can't be!" Chu Tian felt a bit of disbelief, "Didn't we just borrow several hundred thousand source stones from the Eternal Forest?  The money is already there and with the company's ability, we can't even support this little bit of research funds!"

"City Lord, you really don't know the situation without taking charge!"  The financial officer Delores couldn't sit still, "Do you know how much the Mech research alone costs?  We calculate the present budget to be around three hundred thousand! The airship budget is an even more terrifying number!  For the gnome and Yun Sect laboratories, they are consuming more and more each month, just like an endless hole. Not to mention we just conquered the War Hound Plains and the Great Zhou Country, so we need to spend large amount of source stones investing in those places.  There are many people in the Miracle City area that are applying for loans and with our current financial status, it is hard to maintain this!"

Chu Tian felt a headache hearing this.

What was this!  It actually cost this much?

"We have many projects right now.  Other than the Miracle Shopping Center and the spiritual energy network, there are many other projects."  Meng Qingwu brought another screen down and she pointed at a part as she said, "For example, the construction of the city defenses.  We are planning to install hidden missile silos in the mountain ranges surrounding Miracle City, establishing a long range military force.  Other than that, we are prepared to place large amounts of Source Energy Cannons in the mountains, using them to fight off invaders.

Chu Tian was more depressed hearing this.

Father always thought that Miracle Commerce was a money making monster and as long as we take care of the current problem, we wouldn't be afraid of not having money.  Looking at the situation, Miracle City wasn't just lacking money, it was lacking quite a bit of money!

"Although we need a lot of money, everyone doesn't need to worry."  Meng Qingwu saw that everyone's morales were a bit low, so she said in an inspiring vice City Lord voice, "Miracle Commerce profit potential is very big, but our current range is only the Great Summer Country and a few forest tribes, with a market that hasn't been opened yet.  We've build ten Transport Towers in the forest and have began to cooperate with the Eternal Forest. In the future, we will be cooperating with many elven cities, as well as spreading to the surrounding countries with the Great Zhou Country and Northern Militant Country as a base.  Our investments now aren't small, but our future profit will be bigger."

Chu Tian nodded along, "Right, just a few small towns in the forest and the Great Summer Country, how many cities are there?  We must expand our territory!"

"We must speed up our progress.  The large influences are all looking to cause trouble and there are too many variables, so we can't expand slowly."  Meng Qingwu started to plan, "Yun Yao, Caidie, you will replace Delores in expanding the Miracle Shopping Center and forging foreign relations.  You already have experience, so there should be no problem. This is a map of the forest's cities and underground cities we have prepared, as well as the general resources these cities have, and the surrounding large tribes.  Miracle City will give you enough caravans and people, you just need to focus on dealing with them."

This task was not light!

Feng Caidie was appointed the foreign minister.

Yun Yao was appointed the company director.

The two immediately stood up, "We'll definitely do this."

Chu Tian asked, "What will our great financial officer Delores be doing?"

Miracle City's current company director was also Delores and the fox people company was gathered by Delores.  Now that Delores' two jobs were given to Feng Caidie and Yun Yao, what would Delores do? This fox's ability was not weak, it would be a waste to keep her in the city!

Meng Qingwu replied, "Miracle City's biggest problem is a lack of money, so this is Delores' other important task.  From this day forth, she will focus completely on developing Miracle Banking!"

Delores nodded, "Rest a.s.sured City Lord, the current Miracle City citizens have a high trust in us and the recently promoted citizen cards also have personal banking accounts, so Miracle Banking's business has soared.  I believe that the potential of the bank has not been completely displayed yet!"

Miracle Banking was proposed by Delores, therefore it had a special meaning to her.  Delores would do everything she could to develop it.

Meng Qingwu emphasized again. "Everyone, remember that the current peace is not eternal.  With the protection of the Treants and working with the elves is relying on outside help in the end.  Every moment we aren't strong enough is a moment we can't relax. There are dangers hidden outside, so if we want to keep the peace, we must make Miracle City develop as fast as possible!"

"Yes!"

Chu Tian didn't partic.i.p.ate in the young miss' meeting a lot, so he didn't think the young miss' aura would be this strong.  She had been tempered over the year as a chairman, allowing her to mature more and more into a powerful woman.

The meeting ended with this!

Everyone knew what they should do.  Miracle City and Miracle Commerce's biggest problem right now was a lack of money, so for the next period, the most important thing to Miracle Commerce was making money.  Each department, each team, they would all work hard for this goal.
