The remaining two factory buildings are on the far side. The first one is a door and window processing factory, and the second one is Naxiang Timber Processing Factory.

"Let's rent both buildings together. Forget it, whether the factory is for sale or not, the price is negotiable." Zhou Yongcheng thought of the more than 20 trillion yuan lying in his bank account. He wasn't short of money and could buy whatever he wanted.

Li Youjun thought it was normal. Zhou Yongcheng's business was worth tens of millions, so buying a factory of three or four thousand square meters in the town was a piece of cake. However, the owner of the door and window shop next door was shocked by Zhou Yongcheng's extravagance. Although Daba Town was just a town, the two factory buildings were quite large, with an area of ​​more than three thousand square meters, and cost several million yuan.

"If Mr. Zhou wants to buy it, there's definitely no problem."

Before noon, Zhou Yongcheng had acquired the two factory buildings. He asked Li Youjun to help with the business licenses, as Li was happy to run errands for Zhou Yongcheng. As long as Zhou Yongcheng got it done, it would be a political achievement. After returning, Zhou Yongcheng instructed the Red Queen to purchase equipment for producing feed.

The equipment for producing feed was easy to purchase; there were suppliers in the city. Zhou Yongcheng had Honghou purchase two sets of equipment first.

In the evening, Zhou Yongcheng brought some grass from the unknown world and put it into the fishpond. At the same time, he took out all the fish weighing over 70 or 80 pounds from the fishpond and brought in a batch of small fish from other worlds. The total weight of the fish he brought in was no more than 30 pounds.

The next day at noon, the equipment Zhou Yongcheng purchased arrived, accompanied by an instructor. The instructor installed the equipment in the factory and explained to Zhou Yongcheng how to use it.

With the equipment in place, the next step was to purchase materials for producing feed. The first material was grass from the unknown world, which Zhou Yongcheng planned to transport from the city to the town.

Other feed ingredients were purchased from other parts of the town; other things were not important.

Back in the village, Zhou Yongcheng began to consider who should manage the factory. There were many brothers in the village, including Zhou Yongqiang, Zhou Yongkang, Zhou Yonghong, and Zhou Yonglin.

After much thought, I decided to entrust the task to Zhou Yongqiang. He's older, spends more time at home, and is definitely better at finding people.

So Zhou Yongcheng called Zhou Yongqiang and asked him to come over.

Zhou Yongqiang arrived soon after.

"What does Yongcheng want with me?"

“As you know, I run a factory in town to produce feed. I haven’t found a suitable person to manage it. I thought you’ve spent a lot of time at home and are relatively familiar with your family, so I’d like to entrust the management of this factory to you. I just don’t know if you’re willing,” Zhou Yongcheng asked.

“No problem, I’ll definitely take good care of the factory for you,” Zhou Yongqiang said.

Zhou Yongqiang sold his cattle last year, then bought twenty calves, and at the beginning of this year he bought another twenty calves, so he has a total of forty cattle this year.

Since many families have started raising cattle this year, the land they used to rent has been taken back, so they don't plan to plant sweet potatoes this year.

Since they stopped planting sweet potatoes, they weren't as busy, but they would have to start planting grass soon. If they didn't plant grass, the cattle wouldn't have any grass to feed them after winter. So they would be a bit busy when planting and harvesting grass, but they could hire someone to do it. So he agreed without hesitation to let Zhou Yongcheng manage the feed mill for him. He also knew that Zhou Yongcheng was very generous and that the salary for managing the feed mill would definitely not be low.

Zhou Yongcheng then discussed with Zhou Yongqiang what kind of people the factory should recruit, their salaries and benefits, and what feed ingredients they should use.

After reaching an agreement with Zhou Yongqiang, Zhou Yongcheng also had to consider how to deal with the weeds from the unknown world, the most important ingredient in feed. It was impossible to simply bring bundles of grass to the factory.

Finally, Zhou Yongcheng came up with a solution: he directly ground all the weeds into powder in the unknown world, bagged them, and then placed them in a warehouse in the city so that a vehicle could transport them to the factory in the town for production.

You should know that he has several thousand robots produced by scientific research AI in his space. He can easily use two of them to harvest weeds and grind them into powder in an unknown world.

That evening, Zhou Yongcheng went to the Unknown World, took out his scientific research AI, and told it about the matter. It said there was absolutely no problem.

The next morning, Zhou Yongcheng went to the city to purchase two shredders. There was no need to worry about the energy problem, as Zhou Yongcheng had Ark Energy in his storage space. It would be a piece of cake to have the robot modify them.

In this unknown world lake area, where there are the most weeds, Zhou Yongcheng found a place and built a few simple houses, mainly to prevent the machines from getting wet in the rain.

With everything prepared, Zhou Yongcheng took out five robots, had them install the machines, connect the power source, and then start working.

Two robots collect weeds. One robot puts the material in the inlet, another robot bags it, and a third robot carries the weed powder inside the house.

With everything arranged, Zhou Yongcheng gave the robot instructions: it could stop working once the room was full.

Zhou Yongcheng looked around, fearing that some giant beasts might come and cause trouble. He stood still, unleashing his full power, which frightened the giant beasts within a radius of several kilometers, causing them all to tremble and flee to another place.

With the raw material issue settled, Zhou Yongcheng arrived at his cultivation spot deep in the forest. However, he felt this place was unsuitable, as the spiritual energy was insufficient for his cultivation. He needed to find another location, but there was no rush. He would look for one slowly after settling the feed mill issue.

After spending a few days in the unknown world, the robot's work efficiency was undeniable. It produced tens of thousands of bags of weed powder, and Zhou Yongcheng had almost used up the 100,000 bags he had purchased.

Zhou Yongcheng purchased another million units from the city, almost emptying the store's inventory.

After loading the weed powder into the warehouse, Zhou Yongcheng called two large trucks, had people load them, and transported them to the town.

Zhou Yongcheng arrived at the factory in town first. Zhou Yongqiang was also very efficient. He found a total of six people, all middle-aged men in their forties. They looked strong and capable of doing the work.

"How's the procurement of raw materials going?" Zhou Yongcheng asked.

"We purchased a portion, which is stored in the warehouse next door. Yongcheng, is the price we paid too high?"

The raw materials for feed include corn, wheat and many other grains. In Daba Town, the rural areas mainly grow corn and rarely grow wheat. Therefore, Zhou Yongcheng's feed raw material is corn. Currently, the price for corn is not high, around one yuan, but Zhou Yongcheng directly quotes two yuan, which is almost double the price.

"Let's just accept it like this, consider it a small benefit for our fellow villagers in the town. It's not easy for them to farm," Zhou Yongcheng said.

“I’m worried that if this price spreads, many people will go to other places to buy it and resell it to us,” Zhou Yongqiang said.

That is a problem. Even if we buy it back for 1.5 yuan and then sell it to their feed mill, we can still make a pure profit of 0.5 yuan per kilogram. There is no risk involved.

"Then let's do this: find a few trustworthy people, form a purchasing department, and personally go to the village to collect the goods, so that those speculators won't have any opportunity to take advantage."

"This is a good idea."

Not long after, the main raw materials for the feed arrived. Zhou Yongcheng had the six people hired by Zhou Yongqiang unload the truck, and he paid them according to the tonnage, so he didn't need to find people to unload the truck anymore.

With the materials in place, Zhou Yongcheng instructed his men to fill both feed hoppers with raw materials in the afternoon, adjust the feed ratio to a 1:1 ratio of the two raw materials, and start the machine to begin production.

Modern machines are highly intelligent and require minimal intervention. Simply add raw materials, and the machine will bag and transport the contents directly from the receiving end.

Zhou Yongqiang grabbed a handful of the produced feed, smelled it, and said, "This feed smells so good, it makes me want to eat some."

“People can be eaten, they just aren’t very clean,” Zhou Yongcheng said.

Zhou Yongcheng's feed raw materials consist of only two kinds: corn and weeds from an unknown world. Corn and weeds are not inedible, but they are not cleaned.

Production continued until 5 p.m., then the machines were shut down.
