Chapter 1092: Chapter 1092 Management Committee

Regarding the business of communication devices, Huang Fu Flawless naturally did not want to make concessions, but the key to the problem lay in the fact that: even by her standards, Bai Li’s analysis of the situation was essentially correct — even though she was reluctant to admit it.

As long as Yinsha Sect took the lead and offered enough benefits, Tiantong Commerce Alliance might indeed give up this deal. After both their businesses reached an agreement, the opinion of the Huang Fu Family could essentially be ignored.

After cursing for a long time, she finally sighed, "I must preserve the Huang Fu Family’s rights to construction and debugging. If they try to take it away, I would rather destroy those eight individuals. If my Huang Fu Family cannot live well, then nobody should think they can either... Feng Jun, what do you think?"

Feng Jun did not think of her as vicious — because in the Mobile Phone Plane, this kind of thinking is quite common.

To correctly judge a person, one must consider the era they are in, just like whether Yue Fei is a national hero or not — all judgments of historical figures that disregard the context of their times are preposterous.

So he just smiled and asked aloud, "Are you willing to just be a contractor from now on?"

Thanks to him, Huang Fu Flawless now also understood some of the vocabulary from the Earth Realm, so she spread her hands, her eyebrows slightly raised, "What else can I do? I am also desperate."

Feng Jun smiled slightly, "Have you ever considered...the issues of communication security?"

This was his utmost concern, which he had not considered before. It was Bai Li’s recent remarks that had startled him.

After testing for a long time, he found that Bai Li only wanted to take advantage of small benefits. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Thank goodness.

Why would he conjure a non-existent sect to scare someone? Because he did not want the other party to think deeper about this issue.

Actually, when pushed to the extreme, even if he had to explain clearly the dangers of monopolizing the supply chain to suppliers, he would do so elaborately, just to tell the other party — I worry you will harm my interests.

But in fact, what he was most worried about was: after pondering, the other party would realize that compared to communication security, a slight discrepancy in Spirit Stones is trivial!

For Feng Jun, the potential harm Yinsha Sect could cause to the Huang Fu Family really wasn’t a big deal; it was just some exchange of benefits, the key was whether the compensation was satisfactory.

But once the other party realized the importance of communication security, the most in danger was not the Huang Fu Family, but the supplier Feng Jun!

About communication leaks, incidents of phone tapping, the Earth Realm has seen many tragic examples.

From as far back as Panther Fifty-six to as recent as Dudaev, didn’t they all die because of leaks?

Alright, individual deaths are not a big deal, but the turning point of World War II’s naval battles, the Battle of Midway, also happened due to the cracking of codes, plus a stroke of luck, allowing Merrick to achieve a great victory.

Feng Jun was quite certain that in this plane, there is still no concept of "backdoor programs," but he absolutely did not dare underestimate the imagination of cultivators — would such magnificent and amazing Cultivation Techniques appear without that imagination?

Compared to the Earth Realm, the Mobile Phone Plane only chose a different technology tree, or should we say... a Cultivation tree?

Hence, he was also quite certain that once the Yinsha Sect realized the role that the communication system could play, for Huang Fu Flawless, Tiantong, and other distributors like them, they might opt for exchanging interests. But for him as a supplier? Heh...

The Yinsha Sect would definitely try every means to extract the secrets of the entire communication system from him. By that time, they would at least force out the carefree sect behind him to call quits.

If the sect does not show up, then sorry, what’s a piece of research? Darling, this plane even has Soul Search.

Feng Jun is someone who thinks in the long run. It doesn’t matter that he hadn’t thought of it before, but now that he has discovered this crisis, and he’s not sure when the Yinsha Sect will realize this.

Hoping that guy Bai Li would figure it out on his own seems unlikely, but since Bai Li is interested in this project, he could go back and consult his fellow sect brothers.

Alright, even if few of his fellow brothers can understand this thoroughly, this is still a risk — a big one.

So big that once this risk explodes, a lot of people will be in big trouble.

Feng Jun likes to be prepared for potential problems. Having discovered this issue, he definitely wants to actively address it because he cannot be sure when the conflict will erupt.

Realizing that Huang Fu Flawless was not very sensitive to this issue, and was only interested in fighting for her family’s exclusive construction and debugging rights, he felt a bit relieved — it seems my vigilance is still relatively high.

Of course, this is due to the advantage of information monopoly; he does not feel too superior.

But... feeling no superiority is impossible, after all, our plane is indeed more advanced in this aspect.

In short, this does not mean he will underestimate Huang Fu Flawless, nor underestimate the intelligence of the cultivators of this plane, so he smiled and asked, "Is this all you ask for?"

Huang Fu Flawless, feeling down, responded without even thinking, "What else can happen, should we awake our ancient ancestor for such a trivial matter?"

The matter of summoning the Ancestor’s spirit wasn’t taken lightly by her, and this was a significant enough issue to warrant the summoning.

But once the Ancestor was summoned, one could no longer pretend to be unaware, and the situation could escalate significantly.

If things escalated, the Huang Fu Family would most likely back down; if the Huang Fu Family actually won, the cost to the Ancestor would be even greater.

"Hehe," Feng Jun chuckled, displaying a "come and beg me" expression.

"Why are you like this!" Huang Fu Flawless glared at him furiously, "Are you happy to see me upset?"

There’s no Qi Refinement Realm cultivator who would dare to speak to a transcendent cultivator like that, unless ... they’re partners.

Feng Jun didn’t mind either; to tell the truth, he didn’t really like the feeling of superiority — the reason he sometimes ignored others was simply to avoid trouble, and he believed he had the right to do so.

Thus, he smiled indifferently, "Actually, you haven’t realized that after Yinsha Sect made this request, with the Huang Fu Family’s capability, the business could no longer be monopolized by you."

You! Huang Fu Flawless listened and her eyebrows shot up, but being a clever woman, her brow lifted again in thought, "Is there any particular reason behind this?"

"It’s simple," Feng Jun spread his hands flat, speaking candidly, "If Yinsha Sect has noticed, sooner or later the Crimson Phoenix Sect will notice as well, and then... the Four Sects and Wutai will notice too. In that situation, do you think they would tolerate Yinsha Sect monopolizing it?"

He had described the events incompletely just now, as Huang Fu Flawless was too clever; once some things were spoken, she could infer a lot more on her own.

And the true nature of the matter, he intended to keep even her in the dark, not just for self-preservation, but also because... the truth was too heavy, a burden he planned to silently bear on his own.

As expected, Huang Fu Flawless was not suspicious at all, and after thinking it over, she joyfully responded, "That is indeed the case, if the trade is controlled by Yinsha, the other four sects and four elements of Wutai definitely couldn’t agree to it."

Then, her lips pursed again, "So let them divide it up, since the profit from the trade might not be much anymore, but this way, I might still retain the rights to construction and adjustment."

The major profits from the trade were attributed to Tiantong, which she didn’t care much about initially; it was just a figure on the profitability report that made her look better than others.

But construction and adjustment, apart from profits, also represented her control over the industry; she could even claim that the Huang Fu Family were the ultimate experts in the Communication System—if not counting Feng Jun.

Feng Jun shook his head, "That’s not quite right, did you ever consider, Bai Li made this request which certainly relates to his personal greed, but the major factions... actually don’t trust others to handle this?"

Huang Fu Flawless pondered deeply, finally nodding her head, "That’s definitely the case, no one likes others eavesdropping, I know you must have some idea, please stop playing with me, this naive girl, alright?"

Feng Jun was initially just chatting without any distractions, but hearing this, he couldn’t help but get the urge to tease, "Playing with you... really? I feel rather wronged."

Huang Fu Flawless gave him a glance, her eyes unexpectedly full of allure, "Not saying what should be said, isn’t that playing with me? Or say... how do you think you are playing with me, tell me?"

This kind of chat, in the internet era of the Earth Plane, might just mean "flirting," but in the Mobile Phone Plane, it means something different... Well, this is a cultural difference.

Feng Jun immediately felt awkward hearing Huang Fu Flawless’s words, yet how could he not see through her affections?

But this... sorry, he silently labeled it: too familiar, hard to make a move!

He cleared his throat, "I think now we ought to consider setting up a Communication Management Committee."

In the Earth Realm, Feng Jun actually wasn’t keen on various committees, always feeling that whether we were native or thrived robustly, or even if it was an uncontrolled growth... it still had its own natural environment, why should a committee interfere in everything?

But now he really felt that the development of some matters indeed needed a coordinated department to set regulations.

"Communication Management Committee?" Huang Fu Flawless chewed on these words, sinking into deep thought.

After a while, she spoke again slightly puzzled, "What exactly can this committee do?"

"Drawing territorial boundaries," Feng Jun replied with a smile, "The profits in this industry have been noticed by Yinsha Sect, it wouldn’t hurt to notify the other four sects and Wutai. Each stakes their claim, and any ideas Yinsha Sect has can only be put aside."

"Hmm?" Huang Fu Flawless’s eyes brightened, "Then, it would also facilitate networking for different communication systems, right?"

"Exactly," Feng Jun nodded unassumingly, thinking to himself if he really was the pioneer of the communication era in this plane.
