Chapter 411: Big Changes
The dozens of airships were carrying the Prosperity Company. Of course, the company was still operating as normal in the Shihu Kingdom, but Sage had once told Wan Ling he planned to push a massive expansion into another kingdom. It was a risky move and she explained all the problems with it, but after she realized how important it was to him, she started planning. Even after two decades, the Prosperity Company wasnt so large and expansive that it had to extend outside of the Shihu Kingdom to maintain growth. There was no need for them to do the move from a business perspective. On the other hand, an aggressive expansion plan could also rapidly improve the size and scope of their business. It also came with many risks.
The fleet of airships and the goods they carried made up a sizable portion of the Prosperity Companys resources. It was a massive investment, only possible through many loans. If it couldnt pay for itself, the company would be paying those debts for years. Sage and Wan Ling were the founders of the company, so when they both backed the move, there was little question that it would happen.
A squad of Dragoons escorted the lead airship to a landing zone where Sage was waiting. He had only sent the message to start the move, so he had no idea what Wan Lings plans were. A ramp was lowered down and the door slowly thrown open on the side of the airships crew cabin. A petite and well dressed woman was the first to step out, and the sight of her caused Sage quite a surprise. She was dark of hair and eye like most women of this side of the world, and despite how short and small she was, her chest was still very impressive.
Wan Ling! I wasnt expecting you to come personally!
Sage couldnt help himself, immediately giving voice to his thoughts. He figured she would merely be sending him some resources and not journeying here in person. As Sage contemplated, Wan Ling gave him one of her signature looks, a calm and placid face yet with furious eyes. Hed seen her give it many times to her bear sized uncle.
Hmph! Youre out of contact for more than a decade and then suddenly call for the expansion plan. How could I let all these important materials out of my sight? This is a massive investment and I cant leave you in charge of it all. You arent exactly a great businessman, so I cant rely upon you to conduct the expansion.
What about the Prosperity Company in Shihu Kingdom?
Do you think me as foolish as you? Wen Wen is in charge there. Weve been handling the same problems and growing pains for the last two decades, she should have no trouble at all continuing. Im far more concerned about the problems that may appear in a completely new Kingdom so Id rather handle it myself.
For now. Once youve settled in, I plan on recovering Horde Home and the Hoplite Settlements. Ive assigned one Legion to each of the Tiankong siblings. Ill be taking one with me, two will be divided up to defend the Prosperity Company locations, and the last I am making into your personal bodyguards.
What?
Dont try to use them elsewhere. I just sent a message to make sure that at least four hundred of them are near you at all times. So dont think you can just send them all out to guard shops.
What about Lionheart Towns defense?
The City Guards can handle most of it, and I plan on having at least one of the Tiankong Siblings here at all times. There are also more Dragoons traveling here, so you dont need to worry about future expansion.
I wonder what she would think if I told her I could make millions of Dragoons a year if I wanted to?
The only reason he didnt already have tens of millions or even billions of Dragoons already was that it would drastically reduce the production of his Inner World. Most of the Inner World was devoted to producing natural resources, so if he wanted to support such a huge population he would need to devote a much larger portion of the land to food production. Truly, it wouldnt take up all that much of the land, but he also didnt have the need for such forces at the moment. Given their limited strength, quantity could only make up for quality up to a point. Sage himself was a good example. With just a simple move hed completely neutralized three Legions of the Jade Horde. The hundreds of thousands of Dragoons he had ready should be more than enough. He wasnt planning on conquering the world!
Alright. Lets meet with Thousand Treasures tomorrow.
