Qin Ye understood a very simple principle as far as arms dealing was concerned, and that was that premium goods were always the most desirable. This was because premium goods almost always crushed regular goods in terms of their effectiveness in battle.
For instance, when Formosa bought the Usonian avenger missiles and stinger missiles, they were told that the same price could also fetch them 10,000 units of gatling guns.
But would they change their mind?
What the hell would they need a gatling gun for, when they could simply launch a missile and obliterate all of their enemies once and for all?

The profit margin of premium arms are dozens of times greater than regular arms! I should have thought of something like this earlier!
More importantly, if these feudal officials haven’t done anything to keep up with the times… hehe… then, let’s just see what happens when they get their very first taste of modern marketing and luxury goods salesmanship.
“Lord Qin?” Wang Shu was stunned. She suddenly paused to look at Qin Ye.
“Minister Wang, please stand down for a moment.” Qin Ye waved his hand, and glanced towards another chubby middle-aged man, who sensibly nodded back, “Lord Qin, would you like to hear my report?”
Minister of Industry, Rao Xingrui… Qin Ye nodded, “Minister Rao, if we focus all of our efforts on the construction of the auditorium, will we be able to complete its works before the end of December? Academician Gu, we’ve got the design drawings for that, right?”
“Yes.” Gu Qing nodded, “I’ve churned out several design drawings some time ago, one of which includes that of an auditorium. It’s not considered large by any means. I’ve constructed it with the number of Yin spirits, governmental personnel, civil servants and organizational representatives in mind. Thus, the auditorium is designed for a maximum seating capacity of three hundred people.”
Perfect!
Qin Ye needed a proper stage if he were to promote Hell’s armaments as the LV of all arms dealers!
Something larger wasn’t good, because it would feel empty and cold, and he naturally wouldn’t be able to generate enough hype for his promotions. The present size of the auditorium was simply perfect for his purposes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRao Xingrui thought for a moment, “If we suspend all works and reassign all seasoned workers and experts to the construction of the auditorium, we might just be able to make it.”
“Firstly, there’s no issue with the need for rest and sleep. The main factor to take into consideration is the issue of mental fatigue. This is something that can be easily resolved by working in shifts. The auditorium isn’t a complex building, and there’s hardly any difficulty in its construction. A three-hundred seater would be even less of a problem. We shouldn’t have any issues meeting the end-December timeline given the circumstances. That said… does Your Majesty truly wish to suspend all other works?”
He was in agreement with Minister Wang Shu’s perspective earlier.
Qin Ye responded, “Prime all construction units and divisions, and prepare a list of the personnel to be mobilized at the ready. Also, I’d like you to make preparations for a shift schedule, with all Yin spirits to work in three hour shifts. This matter is of top priority. I’ll apprise you of the exact particulars in due course.”
“Understood.”
Qin Ye didn’t say much more. He was the one who had called for such monthly progress report meetings. Thus, after receiving all of the progress updates, everyone left, leaving Arthis, Oda Nobunaga and Wang Chenghao in the meeting room.
“I’ll need a set of premium equipment.” He got straight to the point, “And it has to be the most premium, sturdiest product that Hell can produce without talismans. Furthermore, it has to be something that none of the other underworlds have ever seen, whether in terms of materials or workmanship. And they mustn’t be able to replicate it.”
“What are you trying to do?” Arthis raised her brows quizzically.
“Make a prototype!” Qin Ye’s eyes gleamed as he fervently suppressed the surging excitement in his heart, “I’ve just had an epiphany. The use of blight vermin carapace is completely unprecedented in the field of armament productions. It has the potential to be marketed as brand names like Adidas, rather than our generic products like Adivon.
