Chapter 174: Production of Military Grade Items
” I do, Uncle Lin.” Jia Hao grinned. ” And if you follow it, you can easily make at least five times of profit instantly.”
” Hoho? I would like to hear it then.”
Jia Hao nodded as he proposed various things.
” First of all, Uncle Lin, You don’t need to use the entire of the Millenium Yin Iron. You can use a small portion and make an alloy with steel. It will do better than any of the current alloy.”
” You can also use the pure Millenium Iron to build various things. Like lightweight vehicles, or small compartments. I believe with a little design, you can apply patent for them and even get a military contract.”
Lin Cheng thought for a moment before nodding. ” Indeed, A government contract for a company is the best thing that could happen.”
” However, this process is generally pretty difficult.”
” Not if you show your product in the right way.” Jia Hao grinned. ” Besides, No one else other than you can make such alloy, right?”
” Who else they would give the contract to, if not you?”
Lin Cheng’s eyes shone as the realization stuck in. ” Haha! Indeed! Xiao Hao is right! If I monopolize the market, of course only I will make the profit.”
” But Xiao Hao, Where do you get this? How much can you provide per month?”
Jia Hao pursed his lips. ” Uncle Lin, Do you think a person would reveal the location of the gold mine he found?”
Lin Cheng was dumbfounded when he heard that. ” Haha, My bad. I should respect your secret.”
” As for how much I can sell to you, how about 10 tonnes per month?”
” Wh-What? Only ten tonnes per month?” Lin Cheng’s face was odd.
” You have to understand this, Uncle Lin.” Jia Hao chuckled. ” This is a rare type of material and no one could synthesize it yet. It’s even more precious than gold. So, the production would be less, right?”
” And, I believe with 10 tonnes of raw Millenium Yin Iron, you can easily make 500 tonnes of metal alloy. That’s a good deal, isn’t it?”
” Hmm, Now you say it, It’s feasible.” Lin Cheng nodded after some thought. ” Not to mention, we will sell it to only premium customers. So, There would be no issue to make a profit.”
After some discussion, Lin Mei walked down the stairs, wearing a beautiful blue frock.
” Hey! You guys already started to eat before I came?”
” Oh, I was pretty hungry, alright?” Jia Hao shrugged. ” Not to mention, it’s you who took your sweet time before coming here.”
” Ugh, You have no shame.” Lin Mei sat beside Jia Hao and took some food on his platter. ” So, What you guys have been discussing? You are laughing like a fool, Dad.”
” Nothing, Just some business talks.” Lin Cheng chuckled. ” And, Xiao Hao gave me pretty good news.”
” Business talk? Jia Hao, aren’t you a high schooler like me?” Lin Mei cast a side glance at him. ” What kind of business talk were you having?”
” Well, It’s true that I am your classmate. However, I don’t sit still and do nothing.” Jia Hao laughed. ” A successful man prepares early, right? I am also doing my best to expand my business is various fields.”
” And thankfully, Uncle Lin chose to sponsor me.”
” Hmph, Narcissist.” Lin Mei muttered under her breath as she slurped noodles.
” So, Xiao Hao, How is Mei’er doing in the academy?” Lin Cheng asked.
” Oh, Lin Mei is doing…alright.” Jia Hao nodded. ” However, her study can be improved. We are thinking of studying together so I can help her with academics.”
” Ah, I see. That’s probably going to be good.” Lin Cheng nodded. ” Mei’er did very well in her last test. I hope she does well in the final exam too.”
” Wh-What?” Lin Mei was baffled. ” You are letting me go with a bit like that? Weren’t you supposed to act a bit stern or something?”
” I thought you would be angry if I did that?” Lin Cheng was speechless. ” You wanted freedom, right? So I gave you what you wanted.”
” But you didn’t show any concerns, did you?”
Jia Hao and Lin Cheng looked at each other with dismay, unable to think what to answer.
” Well, Xiao Hao is a very good kid. He is also your friend, so what could go wrong?” Lin Cheng shook his head. ” He already helped you in the past, so he can help you even more now.”
” Yeah, Lin Mei, Are you really afraid of me?” Jia Hao’s lips curled. ” Did I ever touch you without any consent?”
Lin Mei’s lips twitched when she heard that. ‘ Oh really? Shouldn’t you ask where you have NOT touched yet without consent?’
She couldn’t help but flush when she saw Jia Hao’s brazenly lewd smile.
” Ahem, That’s not what I meant.” Lin Mei mumbled.
Meanwhile, Lin Cheng asked various things about Jia Hao and Lin Mei. Jia Hao couldn’t help but think Lin Cheng was already looking at his son in law.
‘ Wow, Am I really such a marriage material?’ Jia Hao sighed inwardly.
‘ Haah, being so handsome and talented is so tiring. It’s truly lonely at the peak.”
” Alright, Jia Hao, Come to my room. We have something to talk about.”
Jia Hao nodded as he followed Lin Mei. However, he couldn’t help but stop before a portrait in the hall.
Lin Mei sensed it as she turned around. Her face couldn’t help but soften.
” Beautiful, Isn’t she?”
” She is your mom?” Jia Hao asked.
” Haah, How I wish she was here.” Lin Mei sighed. ” Now, I can’t even remember her face properly.”
Suddenly, she felt a warm hug from behind. Lin Mei shivered, but she didn’t resist.
” Well, I know you lost her at a pretty young age. But, I believe she would be very happy to see her daughter grow up into such a beautiful woman.” Jia Hao spoke in a soft voice.
” As for her face, you can always remember it by looking at this portrait, right?” Jia Hao smiled. ” Because, even if you feel you forgot her, her image will always be in her heart.”
” Mhm…Thank you, for your words.” Lin Mei leaned back on Jia Hao’s embrace as she spoke softly.
” Besides, don’t you think she would be so proud to see her daughter getting such a perfect man for her?”
Lin Mei snorted when she heard Jia Hao’s words. ” Hah, really? Do you think she would be happy to see her daughter being a concubine?”
” Well, No one is the main wife in my life. Everyone is equal in my heart.” Jia Hao grinned.
” AHH!~”
Lin Mei yelped as she was lifted up by Jia Hao as he carried her to her room.
” Hmph, Did you forget, You are getting a lot of punishment today.”
Lin Mei giggled as she fell on the bed. Using her legs as a pincer lock, she pulled Jia Hao on her, locking a passionate kiss with him.
They rolled and cuddled on the bed, making Lin Mei gasp with pleasure.
” But…Not today.” Lin Mei panted as she looked at Jia Hao.
” Oh, Why so?”
” Because I am so full right now that I don’t want to do it.” Lin Mei rolled her eyes. But she couldn’t help but blush a bit.
Jia Hao was dumbfounded, but he nodded. ” Fair enough. We really ate a bit too much.”
” Besides, I have to go now.”
” So, Next time?” Lin Mei looked at Jia Hao with anticipation.
” Tsk, Quite eager, are you?”
As Jia Hao drove out, he suddenly got a call.
” Mr, Jia, The things you asked us to make are ready. So, When are you going to pick them up?”
” Oh? They are ready? How great. Just pack them up and I will receive them right away.”
Jia Hao was elated when he heard that. As he asked, the company made him 500 pieces of swords, 500 pieces of sabers, 500 pieces of armor, and 500 pieces of spears.
As he asked them, they don’t need to focus on functionality. They just need to make it look like stylish and realistic props.
‘ Because turning fake into real, that’s the job of Pot of Miracles.’
As Jia Hao arrived there, the manager hurriedly greeted him with a smile. ” Mr. Jia, You are right on time. We just finished packing them in crates.”
Without any hesitation, Jia Hao paid the remaining amount to them. Walking inside, he saw the items with a satisfied nod. ” Indeed, You guys did a decent job.”
” Hehe, Thank you for your praise, Mr. Jia.” The manager smiled brightly as he saw the amount of money transferring to his bank account.
” I have stored them inside the crates. Should I arrange for someone to send it to your place?”
” No, I will handle it.” Jia Hao shook his head. ” You can leave. I will call you if I need something in future.”
” Haha! Of course. It would be a pleasure to work for you.” The manager smiled.
As he left, Jia Hao swung his hand as he collected everything inside his Pot of Miracles.
‘ With this, I can easily make quality weapons for the Cai Family.’ Jia Hao thought inwardly.
As he returned to the Su Family mansion, he saw other than a few servants, there was none in the living room.
‘ Eh? Both Sister Lan and Xing’er inside their rooms?’
Jia Hao shrugged as he entered his room. However, he was stunned when he saw Su Xing’er and Su Lan inside his room.
” Well, What we got here?”
