Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

Yue Lingfei took a deep gulp of wine, and as he scanned the crowd with a slightly tipsy look, he said in a deep voice, "I'd like to take this opportunity to discuss with you the management issues of my Mo Dao Sect."

Unexpectedly, it was Yue Lingfei who started the conversation first. Although the Ink Blade Sect has been gaining momentum in recent years, its internal resources are unevenly distributed.

She went straight to the point, talking about the decline of talent in the Mo Dao Sect, the shortage of Mo Dao, and finally the many operational problems in the sect.

It does sound difficult.

This is also difficult for her.

Management is a science.

It requires an understanding of people's hearts, insight into the situation, and foresight.

Not only do we have to balance internal resources, but we also have to deal with external changes.

Every decision is related to the rise and fall of the sect.

Sect affairs are complex, requiring both maintaining internal harmony and responding to external conflicts. Resource allocation, talent development, and strategic planning all require meticulous planning.

Ever since the old sect leader disappeared, she, as the new sect leader, has to deal with internal and external troubles while trying to restore the sect's reputation. The burden on her shoulders is indeed heavy.

Although she has a good talent for martial arts and her strength is not weak, she is still a teenage girl after all. She may be able to fight alone, but she is bound to be overwhelmed by the burden of running a sect.

"As you all know, my Mo Dao Sect owns several mineral veins. Aside from the largest, the Mo Yun Iron Mine, I'm willing to trade the rest with you. This can be in the form of cash or related resources that are beneficial to my Mo Dao Sect."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xing, Bai Wei and others immediately showed interest and exchanged glances with each other.

Although the Mo Dao Sect is now lacking in talent, its foundation is still there.

The mineral resources in Qinghe County, especially the Moyun Iron Mine, are of high quality and have always been coveted by major sects.

Unexpectedly, Yue Lingfei, who looked young, actually made a decision that was against his ancestors.

If nothing else, this courage is enough to make everyone look at you differently.

"This is the situation. On the one hand, cooperating with you is to revitalize our Mo Dao Sect, and on the other hand, it can also bring you considerable benefits. This is called... it's called..."

Yue Lingfei was obviously not well educated and was suddenly speechless.

"win-win."

When Chen Changfan finished speaking, everyone was suddenly stunned.

Xiao Suchen silently savored the meaning of this sentence and nodded with a smile, "Well said, cooperation is a win-win situation."

Bai Wei also nodded secretly, and there was a rare admiration in her eyes when she looked at Chen Changfan.

In her impression, warriors were all vulgar guys, but the fact that Chen Changfan could say such words made her look at him with new eyes.

Yue Zhenshan scratched his head and agreed, "Okay, well said."

Yue Lingfei laughed, "Yes, yes, that's what I mean. Cooperation means win-win. As long as we work together, we can win together. Hahaha."

As he spoke, Yue Lingfei looked at everyone. After noticing that everyone seemed quite interested, he did not waste any time and immediately told them all the information about his many mineral veins, as if he were telling them all about his own treasures.

At their level, even the crude warriors can be said to be knowledgeable and have a good memory, so the numbers Yue Lingfei said were quite accurate, and the several leaders listened very carefully.

"My Mo Dao Sect has a black jade vein that produces up to a thousand kilograms of ore annually. The quality is superb, and the black jade extracted from it is especially suitable for carrying spiritual energy. It is perfect for making formation plates."

As expected, after hearing about the black jade vein, Bai Wei's expression was obviously a little uneasy. The Water God Cult is a sorcerer system, and has a huge demand for various spiritual materials. Black jade is the best among the spiritual materials. It can be used to set up formations and even to refine magical instruments.

"In addition, my Mo Dao Sect also has a cold iron vein. The cold iron vein produces 100,000 kilograms of cold iron annually. It is hard and resistant to high temperatures. It is an excellent material for forging high-quality weapons. It can also be used to refine some cold-attribute magical instruments."

As she spoke, Yue Lingfei quietly glanced at Bai Wei, and sure enough, she once again showed an expression of great interest.

"Our martial arts school wants this cold iron ore vein."

Bai Wei had originally wanted to wait and see before making an offer, but Zhou Xing unexpectedly spoke first. Bai Wei lost her composure now. "I want both the cold iron ore and the black jade ore. How much do you want?"

"Why are you competing with me, old lady?" Zhou Xing was unhappy.

It is difficult to bargain down the price if someone is bidding, and there is no guarantee that you will be able to buy it in the end.

"It's too early to make an offer now. Let's hear what Sect Master Yue has to say first."

When it comes to Qi-cultivation skills, Xiao Suchen has to be the best.

But this is not surprising. Neither the black jade ore nor the cold iron ore is what he urgently needs. What he values ​​more is the black cloud iron ore.

After all, the by-products in Moyun iron ore can be used to refine rare Moyun powder, which is an important main material for making spiritual ink.

Lingmo is so precious that it is not an exaggeration to say that "one ounce of ink is worth one ounce of gold".

After hearing what Xiao Suchen said, Bai Wei and Zhou Xing realized that they were a little impatient. The bidding hadn't even started yet, but they were already arguing over it.

You have to remember, this was a joyful dinner, not a solemn auction. Everyone smiled at each other, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed. Yue Lingfei continued, "Besides these, my Mo Dao Sect also has a vein of red-flame copper and a vein of coal, both of excellent quality. These are the only veins we have available. If you're interested, we can start negotiating the price."

After hearing about the Red Flame Copper Mine, Bai Wei and others seemed to have little interest.

Iron smelting technology had been mastered in this era, so copper mines became less important.

However, in later generations, due to the existence of electricity, the value of copper has always been much more expensive than iron.

However, this is just a limitation of the times, not a problem of the vision of these sect leaders.

As for the coal mine mentioned by Yue Lingfei, it is actually a coal mine.

These people also seemed quite calm about this.

Because the demand for coal was not great in this era and the technology for coal utilization was not yet mature, coal mines did not seem very attractive to these people.

Chen Changfan naturally noticed this keenly and couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart.

For Xiaofengzhuang, where Chen had just built a steam engine with his own hands, what it lacked now were these two resources. Copper mines and coal mines were a timely help to him.

If these people did not realize the value of the copper and coal mines, he might be able to buy them back at a very low price.

If all else fails, you can exchange the finished ink knife with Yue Lingfei.

In this way, he got the copper mine and coal mine, and Yue Lingfei got the ink knife as she wished. It can be said that both sides got what they needed.

Chen Changfan had made up his mind, but his face remained expressionless as he silently watched everyone start bidding.
