However, even with that, the annual turnover of the In-Laws Alliance in cement alone has already exceeded two hundred thousand Qian Gold.

Moreover, all the raw materials were their own, produced within their territory, things that usually couldn’t even be sold, hence the cost was extremely low.

In recent years, after the cement, known as “foreign grey,” gained popularity, its market demand increased and it became a commodity in short supply.

Nowadays, the entire In-Laws Alliance is planning to increase production to meet the demand, and plan to implement hydraulic power grinding mills in the actual production process within the next two years.

It is anticipated that within a decade, the production will increase five times and the annual turnover will reach a million Qian Gold.

Putting aside the cement business.

Foreign Glass products are also a major product of this production base.

Most of the glass products, including small cups, bottles, plates, and jars, are in reality much simpler to produce than ordinary porcelain. However, the price of glassware was multiple times higher than ordinary porcelain.

The raw materials for glass products are also very simple, just quartz sand.

Labelled as exquisite foreign imports, these glass products have gradually become popular among the prominent families, making the Wang family and the In-Laws Alliance tremendously rich in just a few years. The profit was even higher than that from selling cement.

Were it not for Wang Shouzhe’s need to keep expanding the cement capacity to lay the groundwork for future territorial developments and city construction plans, he would have considered stopping cement production and focusing solely on glass production.

Unfortunately, he understood that technological advancements were a gradual process. For the sake of the future, not only did cement production need to continue, but research and development must also proceed.

As for the specific research and development process, along with the development of the production process, Wang Shouzhe did not have the energy or time to participate, what he could offer were merely some directional guidance and stimulation.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of clever and industrious artisans in this world, making his various plans to become reality.

Of course, the production base and the research and development base are separate.

This is only the production base, the Wang family’s real research and development base was not here.

Later on.

Wang Shouzhe, in a manner as if inspecting, “took a quick look around” the production base, stating that he would stay at the production base for a few days to guide the upcoming work and so on.

Soon, this news had “spread” throughout the entire production base.

…

Deep within this production base, there was a hidden secret chamber.

The secret chamber was not that large but it was adequately equipped, one could live inside for half a month without any issue. Especially for cultivators of the Profound Martial realm.

At this moment.

The old man sitting cross-legged on the Luohantai within the secret chamber was of a tall stature.

It was clear that he was not young anymore, his face was heavily wrinkled, showing a sense of vicissitude, but the aura exuding from him was still as solid as a mountain, stabilising and majestic.

Especially his eyes, they were as deep as a quiet pond.

Even in his plain robes, they could not conceal the fact that he was of a noble identity.

Wang Shouzhe sat cross-legged across from him, apologising as he made him a pot of tea, “Old Ancestor Zhubo, I have wronged you for the past half a year.”

Indeed, this extraordinary old man was the Celestial Being and Old Ancestor of Longzuo Wang family – Wang Zhubo, Old Ancestor Zhubo.

He had been living in seclusion in this production base for almost half a year.

“You’ve made preparations very thoughtful for me. I have level three spirit meat to eat daily, you’ve also completely provided for the Dan medicines for my cultivation,” Old Ancestor Zhubo laughed heartily. “My cultivation has improved notably in recent days, how am I wronged? I can take it as cultivation in seclusion.”

“Furthermore, Zhou Xuan was my cousin. Back then, he and his created family were victimised so horribly. Now I have a chance for revenge and I’ve been longing for it. The Huangfu Clan is as cunning as a fox; even more preparation isn’t too much. All for this purpose.”

“The Huangfu Clan is indeed very cautious.” Wang Shouzhe said while drinking his Spirit Tea. “Even though it was them who had involvement with Yin Sha Sect, they managed to make their accounts appear seamless and their main branch remains unharmed, laying the blame on their side branches. The Huangfu Clan has been standing tall in Changning prefecture for five hundred years, which is not merely by chance.”

“In order to hunt such a fox, you must calculate carefully. Fortunately, the many years of arrangements are finally about to bear fruit.”

Old Ancestor Zhubo seemed intrigued, “Are you suggesting that they are about to lose their patience?”

“We crippled the former Ma Huangfu’s Family and killed a few undercover agents from Yin Sha Sect, like cutting off two arms of the Celestial Huangfu Family.” Wang Shouzhe calmly provided his analysis. “As well as buying up all the fixed assets of the former Ma Huangfu’s Family, we’ve effectively strangled the neck of Huangfu Ranch. In addition, our open and secret support to Old Ancestor Beichen to impact the Heavenly Human Realm is also a major threat to them.”

“All these actions have already infuriated the Huangfu Clan. The reason they haven’t taken action so far was that they were just biding their time, waiting for the perfect opportunity. Just yesterday, Senior Brother Fang Youan and others from the Purple Abode Academy successfully completed their disaster relief mission and have returned to the Academy. The City Lord Xiahou Hongde also took the Academy’s flying carriage to the Prefecture Mansion of Longzuo County for a work report. The return trip will take at least ten days, or as long as a month.”

“This is the best opportunity for the Huangfu Clan to take action. If they miss this opportunity, they will never find such an excellent chance again.” Wang Shouzhe said calmly. “And my personal presence in the secret production base for several days is the final, juicy bait that I am throwing out.”
