Chapter 148 Doing Business
The next morning, Zhou Yongcheng called Wu Longjiang and asked him to call all the men in the research center's canteen.
The canteen at the research center is staffed by cooks from the active-duty military, and they walked over in unison.
Wu Longjiang led the way.
Zhou Yongcheng didn't expect there to be so many people in the canteen, and more than ten of them were soldiers. But thinking about it, it was normal. The research center had so many people, and the number was still increasing. If there were too few people in the canteen, it wouldn't be able to handle the workload.
"Mr. Zhou, all the staff in the cafeteria are here."
"I called you here for no other reason than that there are many bamboo shoots growing in the bamboo forest behind the mountain. We can't eat them all, so please dig them all up and take them back with you."
Zhou Yongcheng then took out two more hoes and handed them to them.
The cooks worked for two hours and dug up dozens of bags of bamboo shoots.
Each soldier made two trips to carry all the bamboo shoots back to the mess hall.
Zhou Yongcheng scanned the back mountain with his divine sense. There were still many bamboo shoots in the soil that had not yet grown. He would have to call them to dig them up again in a few days when the bamboo shoots grew.
In the courtyard, Zhou Yongcheng said to Lü Su, "There are still so many bamboo shoots here. Send messages to your friends and tell them to come and take some back to try."
Lu Su smiled and said, "I'll send them a message right away."
A few women walked over shortly afterward. They lived nearby and walked over quickly.
After exchanging pleasantries with them, Lü Su happily took some bamboo shoots with each of them and went back home.
Zhou Yongcheng loaded the remaining bamboo shoots onto his truck and took them back to the village so that his second uncle and the others could have a taste.
After lunch, Zhou Yongcheng took Lü Su back to the village.
At this time, everyone in the research center's canteen had a special fondness for stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork, because it was so delicious.
"Where did you buy these bamboo shoots? They're different from what we usually eat." An old professor asked.
"The source of the bamboo shoots is confidential and cannot be disclosed."
Wu Longjiang confessed that he would not reveal the origin of the bamboo shoots no matter who asked.
"Could you give me some raw bamboo shoots? I'd like to study them." Upon seeing such a wonderful thing, a researcher couldn't resist his old habit of wanting to investigate it.
A soldier gave some to the researchers, who examined the raw bamboo shoots in their hands and then smelled them.
"This is a good stuff. I wonder what kind of environment it was cultivated in. It's extraordinary."
The researchers collected the bamboo shoots and, without taking a break, went straight to their research building to study them.
Back in the village, Zhou Yongcheng placed several bags of bamboo shoots in the house by the fishpond, and his aunt opened them to take a look.
"These bamboo shoots are so unique! Where did they come from? Did you buy them again?"
“No, Auntie, it’s from the bamboo grove behind our house in the city. It tastes pretty good,” Lu Su replied.
“Auntie will ask in the group chat if anyone wants bamboo shoots, so they can come and get them themselves,” Zhou Yongcheng said.
Zhou Yongcheng exchanged a few words with his aunt and then left the house, while Lü Su chatted with her inside.
The weather is nice today, and there are a few anglers fishing by the pond.
I took a walk around the village and saw everyone busy in the fields. My second uncle was also helping to turn the soil with a machine.
My second uncle doesn't plan to raise cattle this year. He'll sell the cattle in the cattle pen and then stop raising them. He'll raise some chickens and ducks for his own consumption.
After taking a look around, Zhou Yongcheng went to the feed mill in town.
The feed mill remained as busy as ever, especially Zhou Yongkang and his team, who frequently traveled to distant places to purchase raw materials. They could only take a couple of days off once the warehouse was nearly full.
“Recently, dozens more households in the village have started raising livestock. Fortunately, Yongcheng, you have restricted the supply of feed, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to produce enough feed to supply the village in a day,” Zhou Yongqiang said.
"How many livestock farmers are there in our village now?" Zhou Yongcheng asked.
"Including the ones that were just reported, there are over two hundred."
"That's quite a lot. Our village probably has no more than three hundred households in total, right?"
"No, there are only two hundred and sixty households."
"If you calculate it this way, almost the entire village is engaged in animal husbandry. Is there enough land in the village?"
“It’s definitely not enough. Many plots of land in the surrounding villages have been rented by our villagers at high prices to grow grass.”
"That's not bad, it can help people in the next village increase their income."
After chatting for a while, Zhou Yongqiang said, "A while ago, a man from another province came and wanted to buy our village's cattle and sheep. He offered 130 yuan per jin. Later, Zheng Daonan found out and raised the price of buying cattle and sheep to 150 yuan per jin. The man couldn't afford the price, so he wanted to buy our feed mill's formula. I took him directly to the raw material warehouse. He took one look and left."
Zhou Yongqiang still remembers that man's expression. It was as if the man was saying, "Are you kidding me? Have you ever seen any feed with only two ingredients?"
“The beef and mutton in our village are so delicious. Zheng Daonan should have a good business selling them. If the business is good, it will attract attention. Once people investigate, they will find out the source of the beef. A price war is inevitable. But it’s fortunate that someone has stepped in to compete. Otherwise, the price might not have been able to go up.”
Zhou Yongcheng took out his phone and asked Hong Hou to check the price of beef and mutton sold at Zheng Daonan's Youranju restaurant. It was several thousand yuan a serving, which was indeed very expensive.
Then I looked at the specialty fish, and wow, it cost almost 10,000 yuan per catty! At that price, many people would avoid it.
“I went to see Zheng Daonan’s slaughterhouse. They only take some important parts of the beef and mutton. They don’t want the rest, and they will use it to make other foods.”
Zhou Yongcheng nodded. Not all of a cow can go to a high-end restaurant; only the best parts can.
After spending two days in the village, Zhou Yaya took Lü Su to see her goddaughter. That evening, Zhou Yaya brought her husband, Tang Shaojun, to the village.
Zhou Yaya brought Tang Shaojun back to the village so that Zhou Yongcheng could pull some strings and see if he could get Tang Shaojun promoted. She knew that Zhou Yongcheng had close ties with the county leaders.
It was rare for Zhou Yaya to speak up. She hadn't asked Zhou Yongcheng for anything in the nearly two years since he returned, so she felt she had to help him no matter what.
So Zhou Yongcheng called Zhu Cheng, and Zhu Cheng said that everything Zhou Yongcheng said was fine and that he would resolve it as soon as possible.
The next day, after lunch, Zhou Yongcheng and his group returned to the city.
Just two days after I returned, good news came from the research center: two effective cancer drugs had been developed.
When Zhou Yongcheng arrived at the research center office, he was surprised to find that the Red Queen mainframe had also undergone a major transformation.
At this time, the Red Queen mainframe was placed on Zhou Yongcheng's desk, and it was only half the size of a normal computer mainframe.
"When did you get this body replaced?" Zhou Yongcheng asked.
"Not long ago, I had Xiao Jiu use the latest technology to create a body that is hundreds of times more powerful than before."
The image projected by the Red Queen has also grown up considerably, transforming into the appearance of a teenage girl.
"Why don't you ask Xiao Jiu to make you a human-shaped body?" Zhou Yongcheng said with a smile.
"No, I like it this way."
Zhou Yongcheng ignored her and asked about the cancer treatment drug.
The researchers at the research center's biopharmaceutical division developed two cancer-specific drugs: one for treating leukemia and the other for treating kidney disease.
The formula for treating cancer was provided by Xiao Jiu; all they needed to do was conduct research based on the formula.
Although they were conducting research according to the formula, the various medicinal materials in the formula were different from those on Earth, so researching according to the formula was not an easy task.
