Zhou Yongcheng pointed to the rows of boxes and said, “This pile is jade, this pile is emerald, this pile is gemstones, this pile is jewelry, this pile contains some of the best quality large pieces of jade and emerald, and that pile over there is medicinal herbs.”

Upon hearing this, the group was speechless. Even their Jinsheng Group might not be able to produce so many jade and jewelry pieces. Not counting the substandard items, there were countless jade pendants worth thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.

Zhou Yongcheng opened one of each pile of boxes and let them choose one themselves.

Nangong Yu, Fang Nanping, and Liu Jiangping examined each box.

"Are we allowed to choose whatever we want?" Nangong Yu asked.

“Yes, you can choose whatever you like, then name a price, and if the price is right, you can take it,” Zhou Yongcheng said.

Nangong Yu took a deep breath and first looked through the boxes containing the jade.

The jade pieces inside the box are all finished products, including pendants, ornaments, and seals.

Jade comes in many colors, including white, yellow, purple, and all sorts of colors, which can be dazzling to the eye.

Seeing that they were selecting jade, Zhou Yongcheng did not disturb them, but instead sat back down at the coffee table to drink tea and play on his phone.

Two or three hours later, they selected a pile of jade and emerald jewelry. There were so many items that they couldn't fit on the coffee table, so they put them all on the floor.

“Mr. Zhou, everything here is top-quality. If I had enough funds, I would like to buy it all. Unfortunately, the group doesn’t have much working capital, so I can only buy these for now,” Nangong Yu said with a smile.

"It's okay. You can come and pick up any goods you need in the future. I also need to get rid of these things; they're useless at home anyway."

After chatting for a while, Nangong Yu tallied up the prices of all the items and gave Zhou Yongcheng a quote: the total value of all the items was over a billion yuan.

The Red Queen also provided a price range. The prices they quoted were slightly higher than the Red Queen's lowest price. Since they wanted to sell it, the price they quoted had to be in their own interest.

The two parties reached a deal happily. Fang Nanping went to the car outside and took out several suitcases to pack things. His suitcases were professional for packing jade, unlike Zhou Yongcheng who just used wooden boxes.

After the transaction was completed, Nangong Yu and his group did not linger. They bid farewell to Zhou Yongcheng and added him on WeChat and by phone before leaving, so that they could stay in touch in the future.

Zhou Yongcheng saw them off to their car, watched them leave, and then walked into the courtyard.

Inside the car, Nangong Yu and her secretary were chatting.

"What's that over there? And why are there armed soldiers patrolling?" Nangong Yu looked around the research center with curiosity.

The secretary took out her phone and started searching, but no information was displayed.

"It might be a state secret unit."

"The fact that Zhou Yongcheng can live next to a state secret unit and hasn't been asked to move out shows that Zhou Yongcheng is no ordinary person."

"President, the fact that Zhou Yongcheng can casually display so many top-quality jewelry and jadeite in his home already shows that he is no ordinary person," the secretary replied with a smile.

"Right, right, I forgot about that. I really don't know where he got so many top-quality items, and all of them are old stock, not a single one is new."

It wasn't just Nangong Yu and the others who were talking about Zhou Yongcheng; Fang Nanping and Liu Jiangping were also discussing things in Zhou Yongcheng's house.

After spending a few days in the real world, the Red Queen informed Zhou Yongcheng that the portable food testing instrument he had requested to research and manufacture was now ready.

Zhou Yongcheng became interested upon hearing this. He had originally planned to go to the world of Investiture of the Gods to comprehend the laws of humanity, but now he wasn't in a hurry. He would go and check out the food testing equipment first.

I don't know what's wrong with this era. Corrupt officials are rampant, and all sorts of food safety hazards have been exposed. Those who report food safety issues not only don't receive any feedback, but are also fined. This world is truly speechless.

Upon arriving at the research center, Zhou Yongcheng asked Wu Longjiang to bring the food testing instruments manufactured in the laboratory to his office.

A short while later, Wu Longjiang came to the office carrying a cardboard box.

"Mr. Zhou, these are the food testing instruments produced by the laboratory."

The food testing instrument is very small, about twice the size of a mobile phone.

Zhou Yongcheng picked up one and examined it, while Wu Longjiang picked up another and explained to Zhou Yongcheng how to use it.

There is a small box at the top of the detector. Simply put the food to be tested into the box, push it in, and start the instrument. The testing process will not take more than two minutes.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he picked up a leaf from beside the road in the research center.

Wu Longjiang was extremely shocked when he saw the leaf that appeared out of thin air in Zhou Yongcheng's hand; he had no idea how the tree had come to be.

Zhou Yongcheng took a small leaf and put it into the testing chamber. The result came out in just over ten seconds.

It's possible that the leaf components are too few, which makes the test faster.

"Can this thing be tested on any food?" Zhou Yongcheng asked.

"The researchers in the laboratory purchased a lot of food and conducted relevant tests, and they were able to detect the 'detection' in all of them."

"What if it's some unknown additive?"

"this.."

Wu Longjiang is not a relevant technical staff member, so he didn't know how to answer this question.

At this point, the Queen said, "The detector can be connected to the internet and can connect to relevant databases for comparison, thereby providing accurate test results."

"This thing is even intelligent?"

"Yes, it has intelligent programs and a high degree of autonomy. If the country uses it, it can connect all the devices to the national food database. If any problems are detected in the food, the relevant departments will know immediately, allowing them to take swift action on food safety."

Zhou Yongcheng held the food testing equipment and thought for a moment. This thing is related to food safety, so let's sell it to the government and let the government handle it.

"Contact General Manager Hua about how to handle the technology related to this instrument, and let them decide. As for the price, it's the same as the price of cancer drugs. We won't make a profit; all the money will go to the relevant technical personnel. After all, this is related to food safety, so we can't sell it for too high a price."

Zhou Yongcheng took a few instruments, and Wu Longjiang took the rest.

After Wu Longjiang left, Zhou Yongcheng took out a small piece of meat from his spatial storage for testing.

It almost burned out the instrument's CPU. There were many unknown components in the meat, and the test results were basically all question marks.

"Master, please don't make things difficult for them." The Red Queen looked like she was about to cry.

Zhou Yongcheng looked puzzled. "What's it to you?"

"It's temporarily connected to my database, and it's frantically calling for help."

Zhou Yongcheng was speechless; he was just curious and wanted to give it a try.

When he was done playing, he took the meat out of the device.

"Has the materials factory started production yet?"

"We are currently in trial production. As long as the materials produced are of good quality, we can officially start production."

"Who will you sell the materials you produce to?" Zhou Yongcheng asked curiously.

“Master, we have no trouble selling the materials we produce. What we are worried about is that the factory can’t keep up with the demand.”

Zhou Yongcheng recalled that the Red Queen had said that carbon nanomaterials are used in many fields and have a large market demand, so there should indeed be concerns about supply shortages.
