Chapter 409 - 409 409 The Eyes of the Ocean Goddess

409: Chapter 409: The Eyes of the Ocean Goddess 409: Chapter 409: The Eyes of the Ocean Goddess Leave the trivial matters to the subordinates and the professional tasks to the experts.

However, it seemed that there were no experts on his side, so he had no choice but to learn on his own.

Fortunately, it was just a boat on a river.

Even if there were some Magic Beasts in the river, he could just make adjustments according to the situations in the Otherworld when the time came.

As for shipbuilding technology, he had to look for it on Earth.

This information didn’t even require going to a specialized school, as basic knowledge was everywhere.

In the Otherworld, all of these would undoubtedly be regarded as top secrets.

Starting from that day, Zhao Guang shifted his focus and put a portion of his energy into learning shipbuilding.

“Really, there’s less and less time available,” Zhao Guang sighed.

Matters related to his territory required a lot of time to handle, and now he had even more things to learn.

If he wasn’t strictly controlling his schedule, he might soon have no time even for his training.

At this point, Zhao Guang didn’t even know whether developing his territory was the right or wrong decision.

Forget it, things had come to this point.

There were still so many people in his territory; he couldn’t just abandon them now.

Even if he decided not to develop the territory in the future, he had to ensure they had the ability to survive on their own first.

He shook his head and decided to continue immersing himself in his studies.

Two days passed in this manner when Ye Zhi suddenly came to find Zhao Guang.

“You really are quite leisurely, with so much time to learn various things.” Seeing the books in Zhao Guang’s hands and the drafts around him, Ye Zhi finally understood.

After all, Zhao Guang had started learning from the very beginning, and it wasn’t too complex at first.

Moreover, anyone looking at it could tell it was a ship, and moreover a wooden one.

Zhao Guang waved his hand: “Leisurely?

I’m actually very busy now, the things I need to learn just keep increasing.”

Ye Zhi rolled her eyes.

Who else would study if not those who are idle?

Real professional knowledge is usually acquired in school.

Those who still need to study professional knowledge during their free time are definitely in the minority.

And for these grand dukes and ladies, such people are even rarer.

“Forget it, just handle it yourself.

Here, this is the plan we just came up with, and it looks like it was successful.”

“A plan?

What plan is this, the ‘Eyes of the Ocean Goddess’?”

It wasn’t documentation, Zhao Guang realized this was actually a newspaper, and not one written in Chinese but in English.

Fortunately, he was fluent in multiple languages, so this didn’t pose any difficulty for him.

The newspaper first carried a story, one that seemed very ancient.

It said in the distant past, someone in Africa had unearthed a huge sapphire.

This sapphire was worshipped as a Divine entity by the locals.

However, one day, the gemstone cracked and split into two equal pieces.

Later, the gem was discovered by Westerners who then proceeded to rob it.

Up to this point, the story was typical, but then it took a fantastical turn.

When the Westerners tried to take the gemstone back, passing through the Caribbean Channel.

Were pirates in the Caribbean already so rampant at that time?

The pirates directly stole the gem and later fled to the Asia region.

There, the local pirates defeated them.

Next, the story told that the local pirates presented it to an official.

Zhao Guang frowned, suspecting that this was just fabricated to fool the Westerners.

Since when did pirates have relationships with local officials?

But this wasn’t worth digging deeper into; after all, collusion between officials and criminals existed everywhere and had since ancient times.

Zhao Guang continued reading.

The document mentioned that the official had previously saved a Western craftsman.

This craftsman specialized in cutting diamonds, and to repay the official, he used his diamond-cutting skills on the two sapphires, hence their current appearance.

Eventually, the two sapphires looked almost identical, like the eyes of a Divine entity.

At last, the local official named them ‘Eyes of the Ocean Goddess.’

“This naming style doesn’t seem like our Eastern tradition,” Zhao Guang couldn’t help but comment as he read.

“What’s the big deal?

It’s probably a translation issue, meant for foreigners to read,” Ye Zhi sprawled comfortably on the sofa, stretching her torso in a pose.

Such a pose, Ye Zhi would never have done in front of him before—Ye Zhi had always been very dignified.

Indeed, people tend to act differently at home, doing things they wouldn’t normally do outside.

“So, what’s the response been like?

I’ve just shipped a large batch of raw sapphire stones here.

What’s the best time for the handover?”

“Of course, the response has been extremely enthusiastic.

These are among the world’s top sapphires, and having two together only adds to the tale, which will soon ferment in the upper echelons of Western society.”

Zhao Guang nodded: “What’s next then, what should we do?”

Ye Zhi didn’t keep him in suspense: “Next, we tell them that according to the original records, we have found the original source of the sapphire, and our sapphires are sourced exactly from there, tying everything together.”

“Those Westerners aren’t stupid, are they?

Will they believe this?”

“The upper class might not, but the common people below are dumber than you think.

What do you think are the products of ‘happy education’?”

That made sense.

So-called quality education ended up leaving little but qualities behind.

It’s hard for his countrymen to imagine that people in these developed countries still believe the Earth is flat.

“So, those who want to bridge the gap with the upper class will drive up the price of sapphires, right?”

“We aren’t wrong though; these gemstones do come from the same location,” Ye Zhi gave Zhao Guang a meaningful look, as after all, it was he who had sourced them.

“And the quality of these sapphires is really high; we’ve already verified that.”

The quality was good, coupled with top-tier gemstones and a very mystical story.

“Your promotional strategy is really impressive,” he acknowledged.

“It wasn’t my idea; all of this was thought up by Han Xiaoyu, that guy.

Who knows what he’s been learning all these years?” In terms of promotions, Han Xiaoyu was far superior to himself.

Ye Zhi was originally into finance, a field where such promotional skills weren’t necessary.

Zhao Guang thought for a moment before speaking: “Then let’s continue with this plan, and maybe if Da Manjin needs a promotion later, let Han Xiaoyu help out.”

“Getting his help isn’t that easy, but if you speak up, he won’t refuse.”
