Chapter 373 - 348: This Is Too Terrifying

Chapter 373: Chapter 348: This Is Too Terrifying

Yasna didn’t know how to describe what he was feeling.

’So young.’ He thought. ’Only in those countries with royal succession would you see someone so young wielding the highest authority.’

But the heirs in those kinds of countries were usually incompetent. Many were just good-for-nothings who idled their lives away and chased women, while their subordinate officials handled most of the actual work.

However, the man before him was completely different.

In a short period, this man had made the Xuanfeng Alliance so prosperous. Now, he had even defeated Boya and resolved the trouble with Myanmar.

Every single one of these achievements showed that his methods were terrifyingly effective.

Yasna composed himself and followed Baguda to stand before the young Governor.

"His Excellency the Governor," Baguda greeted him respectfully.

"Greetings, Governor." Yasna’s face was also filled with caution, and he tried his best to appear respectful.

Lu Feng had actually already read Yasna’s file.

Not just the one Baguda had given him.

Xiaozhi had also found all sorts of information on the internet, which was incomparably more detailed than Baguda’s report.

Yasna was a decent person.

He was also a leader with ideals and possessed a selfless streak, somewhat similar to Baguda.

However, his knowledge and experience were not on par with Baguda’s, and his perspective was a bit narrow. Of course, this was only when judging him at the level of a national leader.

Therefore, he wasn’t suited to be an aggressive, expansion-minded leader, which was completely wrong for Boya’s situation.

But if he was made into the type of leader who just followed orders—one who didn’t need to devise his own strategies and simply executed what he was told—then he would certainly do an excellent job.

So, he had already decided how to use Yasna.

"Have a seat," Lu Feng gestured to the two of them, walking over to the tea table and sitting down himself.

The perceptive Black Snake had already taken the host’s seat at the tea table to brew tea.

Following that, Yasna also followed Baguda and sat down at the table.

He knew about tea.

It seemed to be something popular in Dragon Country.

But he had never tried it.

"Yasna, you’re in for a treat today. This tea is a true pleasure, something you’d be hard-pressed to find in Boya," Baguda said. After Black Snake had brewed a pot and poured three cups, Baguda immediately picked one up and began to drink it contentedly.

He was extremely fond of this Qingfeng Tea. Every time he came, he felt the urge to sneak some away from the Governor.

He had even wanted to grow tea in the Xuanfeng Alliance.

Unfortunately, the Xuanfeng Alliance lacked the right soil and space for tea trees to grow, so he could only give up on the idea.

Yasna mimicked Baguda’s action, picking up a cup and bringing it to his lips to drink.

Instantly, he smelled a rich, fresh fragrance.

He had to admit, the fresh scent was incredibly invigorating.

Moreover, after finishing the cup, he felt a wonderful, lingering aftertaste in his mouth, and the fresh aroma was utterly refreshing.

He had suffered from some insomnia the previous night.

After this one cup of tea, he actually felt several degrees more clear-headed.

This tea was just as magical as Baguda had said.

Baguda didn’t forget to ask, "Yasna, the tea’s good, isn’t it?"

"Yes, it’s a true pleasure," Yasna nodded, unable to deny it.

Baguda added, "It’s a pity we can’t grow tea in the Xuanfeng Alliance. This kind can only be imported from Dragon Country. When there’s time, we could investigate the situation in Boya. Who knows, maybe it can be grown there."

Yasna found himself surprisingly in agreement with this.

Having tasted the tea, he knew it was truly excellent stuff.

If it could be grown in Boya, promoting it would surely benefit many people.

At this point, Lu Feng spoke directly to Yasna, "Yasna, I’m not one to beat around the bush. Since we’re all on the same side now, you can feel at ease working in the Xuanfeng Alliance."

"With Boya’s inclusion, the Alliance’s affairs have increased. Baguda will be managing the Alliance’s overall matters, so some of his original responsibilities will be handed over to you."

"The first thing is the matter of opening branch factories for the facial mask and Dream-Returning Wine factories. We will have specialists go to Boya to set them up."

"Your job will be to manage these factories, coordinate the handover with the specialists, and maintain precise control over the specific details of the factory openings in Boya."

"If any problems arise, you have full authority to handle them. Just remember to report back to me. If you run into anything you can’t handle, you can come to me."

These words immediately brought a look of delight to Yasna’s face.

Although he had joined the Xuanfeng Alliance, after arriving in the Wind Capital, he was still worried that the Xuanfeng Alliance might go back on its promises to Boya, or that someone from the Alliance might try to sabotage things.

Now, the young Governor was not only putting him in charge of establishing the factories but also giving him full authority to handle it.

This was something he truly hadn’t expected.

"Rest assured, Governor, I will get the job done. However, please give me a few days to familiarize myself with the process," Yasna hurriedly promised.

"That’s no problem. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask Baguda," Lu Feng nodded, then continued, "Next is the second matter. The Xuanfeng Alliance has two new products. The factories have already been built and are about to go into production. You will also be in charge of this."

"Understood. I will not disappoint you, Governor," Yasna promised again.

After that, Lu Feng chatted with Baguda and Yasna for a while before letting them leave.

After leaving Wind Manor, Yasna let out a small sigh of relief.

Clearly, the young Governor’s decision to put him in charge of these factories had put his mind at ease.

After all, for a small place like theirs, these products were of the utmost importance. For the Xuanfeng Alliance at present, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them the foundation of the state.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have coveted these products and invaded the Xuanfeng Alliance in the first place.

Now that the Governor had entrusted these to his management, it was a clear statement of his attitude.

From this perspective, joining the Xuanfeng Alliance might have been a good choice.

"Yasna, work hard," Baguda said with a grin. "Only by doing a good job of what the Governor has assigned you can you better give back to Boya."

"Yes, I will," Yasna nodded.

"Come on, your residence has been arranged. It’s right next to my villa," Baguda said with another smile. "They were all just built by a Dragon Country construction company. The environment in the villa district is beautiful. We’ll be neighbors from now on, so we can chat more often."

Yasna continued to nod, followed Baguda into a car, and arrived at a villa district.

He could see guards patrolling the perimeter of the villa district.

There were even soldiers armed with weapons standing guard at the gate.

Undoubtedly, the residents here were all high-ranking members of the Xuanfeng Alliance; otherwise, the security wouldn’t be so tight.

Yasna soon saw the villa the Xuanfeng Alliance had arranged for him.

The villa was spacious, with a huge floor area, and even had facilities like an outdoor swimming pool and a sports court.

This was countless times better than his residence in Boya.

Moreover, the villa district was indeed very well-developed, and the villas themselves were aesthetically pleasing.

Dragon Country’s infrastructure development was truly impressive.

After moving into the villa, Yasna didn’t think about relaxing, but immediately sought out Baguda to ask for information and materials on the factories.

It was just as Baguda had said: only by properly handling the tasks assigned by the Governor could he better give back to Boya.

Baguda, naturally, cooperated enthusiastically.

When it was just the Xuanfeng Alliance, even with the Governor being a hands-off manager, he could barely manage all the various affairs by himself.

Now with Boya added to the mix, if he had to manage everything alone, he’d really work himself into an early grave.

Therefore, he was also very eager for Yasna to take over these matters as soon as possible.

Besides, Yasna was a decent person, so he could entrust these matters to him with confidence.

After receiving the documents, Yasna immediately began to study the situation at the factories.

He already knew about Dream-Returning Wine and Xuanfeng Facial Masks.

Even so, Yasna was still astonished when he saw the order books for the factories.

The orders placed by merchants from the major powers were all in the tens of billions of Dragon Country currency.

And this was only because the Xuanfeng Alliance’s production capacity was insufficient, forcing them to limit the order quantities.

Seeing this, his face was filled with shock.

Because for a country like Boya, this number was completely unimaginable.

’So, it’s no injustice that the Xuanfeng Alliance annexed us.’

’Economically alone, we were crushed by the Xuanfeng Alliance by an incalculable margin.’

These were just the two products that had already been launched. The crucial part was that the Xuanfeng Alliance had two more products already in production but not yet launched.

Furthermore, for these two new products to be mentioned in the same breath as Dream-Returning Wine and Xuanfeng Facial Masks, they must be something extraordinary.

When he saw the descriptions of the effects of these two products, he was dumbfounded.

A nutritional supplement that helps with weight loss, and a medicinal wine that can actually reverse nearsightedness?

’How many overweight people are there in the world?’

’Over 2.1 billion.’

’How many nearsighted people are there globally?’

’Over 2.6 billion.’

’Besides overweight people, wouldn’t those who aren’t overweight buy some to maintain their figure if they knew about this product?’

’Of course they would.’

’And people without nearsightedness, or those whose vision has recovered, wouldn’t they also buy some of the medicinal wine to protect their eyesight?’

’They definitely would.’

’Therefore, to a certain extent, these two products might become even more popular than Xuanfeng Facial Masks and Dream-Returning Wine.’

’This is too terrifying.’

’To think the Xuanfeng Alliance has so many products that defy imagination.’
