Chapter 182 Marketing
Sit down in the cafe and have a cup of coffee. There are no more uniformed admirals in the cafe. On the way back, Su Xia thought hard, he didn't do anything. Why is it that every admiral who looked at him almost immediately lowered his head and left in a hurry?
This situation made him a little worried for a while.
After returning to his residence, Su Xia specifically found Lexington and told him about the strange things he had encountered. No one, whether it was Lexington, Saratoga who was listening in, or anyone else, could explain why. Fortunately, Su Xia was a generous person, so he let it go if he couldn't figure it out.
As the agreed time approached, Su Xia hesitated whether to call Ella.
Almost at the right moment, there was a knock on the door. When I opened the door, it was Ella.
After chatting for a while, they couldn't forget the business. Su Xia and King George V followed Ella to the cafeteria of the KanColle headquarters. They were going to take a look at how the cafeteria was run. There were indeed many people coming this time, and they didn't need to go all the way. Otherwise, it would be easy to disturb the work of others if so many people went together.
As for the others, they can move freely. France is built on a small island. It is not a super city, but it is not small either. Since there are almost no locals and no urban villages, it can be said that there are financial buildings, squares, shopping malls, amusement parks, and pedestrian streets everywhere. The port area is not counted, which is small but prosperous.
Arrived at the cafeteria of the KanColle headquarters.
Since lunch was eaten at the residence, it was the first time for Su Xia to see the large cafeteria of the KanColle headquarters. After a brief tour of the dining area, she was really shocked. It was a building with several floors. The interior decoration was not luxurious, mainly because there were almost no walls. The sunlight shone into the hall from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, giving people a feeling of openness, magnificence and dazzling.
That's it for the dining area. The main purpose of Su Xia's trip was to visit the kitchen of the cafeteria.
Ella asked the kitchen supervisor, a very beautiful person with big breasts, to accompany the tour so that Suxia could ask questions and get answers.
Su Xia was not polite and asked while touring the kitchen.
Su Xia's questions were prepared in advance. Besides, plans cannot keep up with changes, so she would definitely ask whatever came to her mind. It was mainly because Su Xia asked questions, and King George V rarely interrupted. As a British man, he was not only concerned with cooking, but also with cooking-related questions, so it was better to take it easy.
This big cafeteria serves so many people in the KanColle headquarters.
To serve so many people, how many people are needed and what are their work content and hours?
What are all those devices used for?
How much does it cost per month to run such a large canteen?
The canteen's operating hours: what time does it open in the morning and what time does it close at the latest?
…
It was also Su Xia’s first time, and in a moment of excitement he threw out a bunch of questions. Then he saw that the kitchen manager had his mouth slightly open and looked at a loss, so he quickly apologized.
It was quite late when we set out to visit the cafeteria, and it was already afternoon when we finished the visit. Fortunately, it is summer now, and it gets dark later, so the sky outside is still bright.
After visiting the cafeteria, they took a break and sat by the window on the second floor of the cafeteria.
"I really can't believe it. Admiral Su, you actually start to care about these things. It seems that you really intend to fulfill the responsibilities of an admiral. It's not like before when you were just responsible for attacks, exercises, expeditions... and harassing and bullying everyone, and that was it." Ella said with her face in her hands. She was not the other party's ship girl, and there was no working relationship between them. She was assigned to the ship girl headquarters, so she dared to say anything.
Su Xia thought about it and realized that it was useless to make excuses. She said, "A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold."
Ella scoffed.
The tour of the cafeteria was over, but a lot of things were done. Su Xia asked, "I heard that the KanColle headquarters is planning to set up an engineering bureau?"
Su Xia thought, if this Engineering Bureau is put into the game, will it be a new system? I don't know whether it is long-term or short-term, and whether it is useful. Anyway, the academy system, except for a backup bullet, doesn't seem to make much difference. Anyway, the effort and reward are not proportional, and players are not very interested in that system.
"Well, it's not finished yet. And it's not us who are doing it, but you," said Ella.
"Shall we do it?" Su Xia asked.
"That's right." Ella said, "We at the Shipgirl Headquarters are only responsible for providing advice and direction. You, the garrison, must build the engineering bureau yourself and then invest resources to strengthen the Shipgirls."
"Be more specific." Su Xia said.
Ella tilted her head and said, "I'm not involved in that. I just know a little bit about it. The system isn't online yet, so I won't know even if you ask me. When it's online, you don't need to ask me. You'll know after you try it."
"Okay." Su Xia paused, "So...are there any new items in the Loot Shop now?"
"I've been waiting for you to say this." Ella clapped her hands, took out her phone from her pocket, and pushed up her glasses. Under the sunlight, the originally transparent lenses turned white and reflected the light. "We have a lot of new products online in our trophy store recently."
Su Xia took the phone that Ella handed over and took a quick look at it. Isn't this the loot shop in the game? It's almost exactly the same.
Su Xia was looking through the list. When he looked up, he found Ella staring at him. He hesitated and asked , "Any questions?"
Ella said: "The operation speed is too fast, please slow down."
"Ah?" Su Xia was surprised. "This is also possible... The operation speed is too fast, please operate slower?"
This often happens in games. Once you operate too fast, a prompt will appear. Does it also happen in real life?
Aila said with a sad heart, "You don't know... All the software of the KanColle headquarters is made by KanColle, under the pretext of taking care of their own people. And those KanColle are not very good, with only 1.5 programmers. The software of the KanColle headquarters is worse than those of the government, and it crashes very easily. Don't click too fast, or the software will crash."
Su Xia was speechless. After thinking for a while, he was about to complain when he suddenly felt a hand on his leg.
Su Xia looked at King George V of England, only to see her shaking her head at him, meaning don't say anything.
He thought about it and understood that once he spoke, he might offend others. Moreover, the admiral and the shipgirls gathered together for warmth, and it was a convention. This was how the circle was. They would take care of each other as much as possible. You help him and he helps you. There might be drawbacks, but we should not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Actually, there is not so much to pay attention to. Isn't Ella outspoken? It's harmless to complain. Su Xia decided to keep her mouth shut. If you can avoid it, avoid it. Now I only care about one thing, King George V, how long will you keep your hand on my thigh, and whether you can take it back.
Ella asked, "How is it? Did you like any equipment?"
" I don't feel like there's anything I want." Su Xia said.
"It's OK if you don't want anything." Ella said, "Look at our new product, the bulbous bow (sonar), anti-submarine +12, hit +2, evasion +2, the price is only 70 trophies, don't you want it?"
Su Xia only found out later that there were data panels not only in the game, but also in this world.
The so-called data panel is a quantification of the strength of a ship girl. Of course, it is only for reference, just like those certificates, in fact, it is not as referenceable as those certificates. Because in real battles, luck is more important than anything else. Super powerful new battleships may also fall out, just like the Hood was defeated by the Bismarck in a single encounter in history.
"No." Su Xia said, "It costs so much, and it's only slightly better than our improved sonar. Deep-sea submarines are easy to deal with, and all the equipment is similar, and the damage is completely overflowing. So, this equipment has a low cost-effectiveness and is meaningless."
"Caiyun (ship attack), torpedo +12, anti-submarine +4, only 60 spoils of war." Ella said again.
"This... How should I put it? Torpedo +12 is too low, let's at least make it torpedo +15." Su Xia shook his head. He preferred bombers to torpedo planes. It's not that he doesn't use torpedo planes. Indomitable has torpedo planes all over his body. The attribute of such a torpedo plane is really too low.
Even though she didn't know much as an outsider, Ella still knew a little about what was going on with the other side's garrison. She said, "Our new products may be... You don't plan to exchange a few of the old equipment. There are many very powerful ones. Take a look, take a look."
Su Xia waved her hand and said, "Forget about ordinary equipment. Unless it is equipment that can greatly improve performance, otherwise it will only improve performance slightly and the cost performance is not high. I don't want it."
"I don't want this, I don't want that. Where can I get so many cost-effective equipment? A little improvement is still an improvement." Ella said, "Otherwise, why do you keep so many spoils of war?"
"Keep it." Su Xia said, "We'll talk about it when we find a suitable one."
"I did notice it. I thought you had changed, but now you are exactly the same as before." Ella said, "Grandet."
Su Xia was unmoved. No matter how many spoils of war and merits you have, you can just keep them. If you don't like the equipment or furniture, you can always change them, right?
Ella continued to persuade him: "If you really don't want it, others will exchange it and it will be gone."
Su Xia hesitated.
Wait, we are not in the game now, someone is trying to snatch it from you.
