182: Complete the closed loop

However, no matter how vast their experience was, they were completely stunned by the figures before them at this moment.

Compared to the two red figures in the water now, those so-called top-tier Red Dragon Fish they had seen before were just like babies.

"Xiao... Xiao Tian, am I seeing this right? Is this a Red Dragon Fish?"

Father Zhang swallowed hard and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Uncle, it is a Red Dragon Fish. To be precise, it is a Blood Red Arowana."

Ye Tian nodded.

"A Blood Red Arowana? My goodness, you keep such a top-tier Arowana in a ditch? Aren't you afraid of someone stealing it?"

"There is no other way. They are getting bigger and bigger, and no fish tank can accommodate them. I also don't have the energy to look after them much, so it's perfect to keep them here to act as guards and prevent the Cockroaches from escaping."

Ye Tian laughed.

"Guards... Your guards are quite valuable. Xiao Liang's second grandfather also likes keeping Arowanas. Every time we go to his place, he drags us to see his fish and keeps bragging, saying his is one of a kind and can't be bought even with money. But compared to these two of yours, it's simply incomparable."

"How big is second grandfather's?"

Hearing that the other party understood fish, Ye Tian immediately became interested and asked.

"About half the size of yours, and it doesn't look as imposing. He usually protects it like a precious treasure."

"Then how much is his worth?"

"Money? I remember someone offered 3.5 million, and he kicked them out directly, saying the person was insulting his treasure."

Father Zhang laughed.

Then he looked at the two imposing Blood Red Arowanas in the water: "For these two of yours, to be honest, I've never seen such quality before, and it's impossible to estimate. How about I help you ask around?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but take out his phone and record a short video close to the water's surface.

"Sure!"

Ye Tian's ultimate goal in raising fish was to make money.

Seeing that the school of fish was so large, it was time to check the market.

After getting Ye Tian's consent, Father Zhang quickly sent the video out.

A moment later, his phone rang with a video call.

The moment he answered, a hurried voice came from the other side of the video call.

"Aiguo, where did you record the video you just sent? Is it real?"

"Yes, Second Uncle, I recorded it myself, how could it not be real? How is it? How does this fish compare to your treasure?"

Father Zhang looked at the shocked expression on the other side, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

"Hmph, I don't believe it. Who knows where you got this video to fool me? Maybe it's computer-generated. If a Red Dragon Fish with this quality and size really existed, how could it be kept in a pool? Isn't that a waste of a precious thing?"

"You don't believe me, Second Uncle?"

"Of course I don't."

"Then let me show you properly."

With a mischievous smile, Father Zhang flipped the camera.

The camera instantly focused on the water channel.

The next moment, he saw the Old Man in the video widen his eyes.

"Ho... How is this possible? A Red Dragon Fish, how could it be raised in such a place? This swimming posture, this physique, this color. It's simply the fish of my dreams. Aiguo, where are you? Whose fish is this?"

"I'm in Copper City, where Xiao Liang is going to college. The fish belongs to Xiao Liang's good brother."

"A good brother? That's good. Can you ask him for me, is the fish for sale?"

"Uh, Second Uncle, don't you already have your treasure? Why buy another fish?"

"Can one ever have too many treasures like this? Wait, Copper City? Is that the Copper City where the World Trade Fair is being held in a few days?"

"World Trade Fair?"

Father Zhang paused, looking a bit confused, then turned his gaze toward Ye Tian.

Before Ye Tian could speak, Zhao Rubing, who had heard the conversation, nodded: "That's right, the World Trade Fair in a few days will indeed be held in Copper City."

"No wonder. Is Xiao Liang's brother's fish also participating in this exhibition?"

"This... I really don't know."

As he spoke, Father Zhang turned his confused gaze toward Ye Tian and Zhao Rubing again.

Zhao Rubing's eyes also lit up at this moment.

As one of the people in charge of this conference, she naturally knew some details.

But before this, as it was just a small project of the exhibition, and she didn't know much about these things, she naturally hadn't paid much attention to it.

Now it seemed that her little guy had come up with something remarkable again.

"Old Man, do you mean that these two fish are also qualified to participate in the exhibition?"

Unconsciously, Zhao Rubing leaned closer to the phone and spoke.

"Aiguo, who is speaking?"

The person on the other end of the phone paused, then asked.

"Second Uncle, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Liang's brother's sister, she is the Deputy Director of the Copper City Administration Bureau."

"Hmm?"

There was a clear pause on the other end of the phone, and then the tone became significantly more cautious.

"So it's Director Zhao from Copper City. Director Zhao, nice to meet you. Regarding your question just now, I can tell you very clearly that as for these two fish in the water, let alone participating in the exhibition, there is no doubt they would win the Fish King title. We have a small circle of fish enthusiasts in the country where various fish friends share news from time to time. As far as I know, most of the fish that will participate in this exhibition have quality similar to mine, but my fish is still worlds apart compared to your brother's fish. In fact, after seeing these two fish, I'm embarrassed to even come to the exhibition."

"Uh, Old Man, don't say that. Participation is what matters."

Zhao Rubing said politely.

"Yes, yes, yes, participation is what matters. With such a Fish King appearing, I really must come and see it for myself. In previous years, the limelight was stolen by both Sakura and Indonesia. This time, if nothing goes wrong, we in China can finally hold our heads high."

The voice on the other end of the phone was very excited.

Zhao Rubing's beautiful eyes were also full of surprise.

Just as she was about to speak.

Ye Tian had already spoken.

"Then Old Man, how much is my fish actually worth?"

"Money? How can such a rare Blood Red Arowana be measured by money? Just take me for example, if this fish were really for sale, even if it cost ten million, I wouldn't hesitate. But would someone who can raise a fish to this level sell it?"

Although he didn't know who was speaking, Zhang Liang's second grandfather said with a serious face.

"Ten million? Then I really can't sell it. It's better to keep it for breeding. However, Old Man, if you want some, I am willing to sell the small fish."

"Small fish? How small are the fish?"

The other end of the phone asked curiously.

"See for yourself."

After speaking, Ye Tian signaled Father Zhang to aim the camera at the water.

Afterward, everyone's eyes widened.

On the water surface not far away, ripples appeared.

The next moment, slender figures quickly flicked their tails and swam in front of everyone.

In an instant, the water in front of them seemed to boil, crowded with dense fish shadows.

This...

Everyone swallowed hard.

On the other end of the phone, a gasp was heard.

"My God, why are there so many fish, and... they are all Red Dragon Fish."

"Old Man, if you like these small fish, you can pick any you want."

Ye Tian said to the phone with a smile.

The latter was silent for a long time, seemingly still not having come to his senses.

After a long while, he coughed.

"Th... that, you call these small fish?"

"Old Man, these were really hatched by the two big fish themselves from their eggs. If they aren't small fish, what are they?"

Ye Tian said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Awesome, young man. I have been raising fish all my life and have never admired anyone, but here, I am completely convinced. You wait, I will definitely come to find you in a few days to ask for advice."

"No, Old Man, you haven't mentioned the price yet."

"What price? Fish like this obviously can't be decided by me alone, otherwise you would be at a loss. If you are really willing to sell, just keep them well, and when the World Trade Fair exhibition comes, let my group of fish friends compete for them together; that would be more fun."

"This... alright then. Looking forward to Second Grandfather's arrival."

Ye Tian laughed and didn't ask any more questions.

Because the Old Man's attitude had already explained everything. Could something that requires an auction be bad?

It just so happened that there was still some time before the start of the World Trade Fair. If these small fish were fed well, their value might rise even further.

After this diversion with the Red Dragon Fish.

The atmosphere on the scene was obviously quite different.

How much the Cockroach Waste Disposal Plant was worth was still uncertain. Therefore, the shock it brought to everyone was not intuitive enough.

But the Red Dragon Fish in the water were like huge gold bars, flashing with dazzling golden light through the video call.

The two big fish were worth over 10 million, and the dozens of small fish were all at a level qualified for auction, worth at least several million each.

In other words, the wealth in one water ditch of Ye Tian's Breeding Farm was steadily over 100 million.

At this moment, Father Zhang and Mother Zhang looked at each other.

They suddenly felt how ridiculous their previous thought that giving their son 5 million for investment was enough.

With Ye Tian's strength, it was impossible that he was bringing their son along just because of the 5 million.

Compared to them, Wu Gengbiao was even more overjoyed at this moment.

What kind of dogshit luck did he have to be able to form such a friendship with Ye Tian?

Spending 20 million to buy a Pharmaceutical Factory, only for it to become worth over 100 million as soon as he took over.

Inside a random ditch, he was also raising ornamental fish worth over 100 million.

The most critical thing was that his little brother was also the brother of a prominent figure in Copper City.

If he had known earlier, he would have desperately tried to build a good relationship.

However, it was not too late now. At least, since they had become friends, he had never thought about doing anything untoward.

He had managed to catch this heaven-sent wealth for the time being.

With different thoughts in mind.

Everyone was even more full of expectations and curiosity about the Waste Disposal Plant in front of them.

And at this moment, the waste disposal work was already nearing its end.

Under everyone's watch, the 40 sanitation trucks that arrived fully loaded had all finished unloading.

With the small train running continuously.

Small mountains had piled up at each cargo loading area.

Honk honk.

Two horn sounds rang out.

A large truck drove in.

Li Qiang and Li Zhuang jumped out of the car, looked at the scene, and went over to Li Ming.

"Cousin, where do we load today's feed? If we don't send it over soon, the chickens will be hungry."

Ye Tian slapped his forehead when he heard this: "Look at my memory. I've been busy setting up the new factory all morning and forgot even such an important thing."

As he spoke, Ye Tian hurriedly took the two of them to the side of the warehouse.

"Brother Qiang, Brother Zhuang. The processors at the back have all been installed in the new factory. From now on, when you come over, just park your car in the designated parking space under the tracks over there."

"Then, 10 minutes before you need to load the cargo, just press this button and it will be done."

"I'll demonstrate it for you now."

After speaking, Ye Tian pressed the machine button in front of him.

A moment later.

A rumbling sound came from the factory that had just quieted down.

Two minutes later, several trash bins appeared under the discharge port.

Small boxes slid down the pipe into the trash bins one by one.

At this moment, Ye Tian was already directing Li Qiang to reverse the car into the special loading warehouse.

This warehouse was not big, but it was almost completely enclosed.

Only at the position where the trash bins unloaded was there left an open space for dumping.

As the small train dumped the cargo.

There was no sound inside.

But what was surprising was.

The small boxes filled with cockroach meat that had just seemed to be dumped into the warehouse in a disorderly manner were, after just a few minutes, neatly packed into the back of the truck that had reversed into the warehouse.

"It's ready, just take it away."

After observing the back of the truck, Ye Tian said to Li Qiang.

The latter blinked, obviously a bit confused about what was going on.

However, looking at the various automated machinery in the Waste Disposal Plant now, he could only attribute this magical scene to the power of machinery.

Happily driving the car, the two left quickly.

"Xiao Tian, what was that just now?"

Zhang Liang's parents curiously watched the truck drive away and couldn't help but ask.

At this moment, they were full of curiosity about Ye Tian's Waste Disposal Plant.

After all, they came here for the purpose of inspection.

However, before coming, they were just worried that their son had no experience in business, so they were uneasy.

But now, they were completely attracted.

Based on their business acumen, they could almost be certain that this Cockroach Waste Disposal Plant, in Ye Tian's hands, had definitely become an epoch-making industry.

Not to mention how big it could be, as long as he could grasp the city he was in, it would be a treasure trove.

Its significance had completely surpassed the previous plan of helping Zhang Liang's uncle advance further, and could instead propel the entire family to leap forward.

"Uncle, Auntie, the breeding speed of our Cockroaches far exceeds that of ordinary Cockroaches, so after reaching a certain scale, if there is not enough space, we must control their numbers, otherwise a crisis will inevitably break out. Therefore, besides properly disposing of the waste processed, there must also be an industrial chain to handle the Cockroaches."

"So, what was taken away just now was Cockroaches?"

"Yes, to be precise, it's cockroach meat. After being processed by the Cockroach processor in the factory, it will be taken directly to the Chicken Farm."

"So that's it. This idea is brilliant. Xiao Liang didn't explain it very clearly when he told us before. Now it seems that your Cockroach breeding Waste Disposal Plant has completed a closed loop?"

"I suppose so. Besides the Chicken Farm, there are other components after processing the Cockroaches that can be used for beauty and medicine. So I additionally acquired a Pharmaceutical Factory. Combining these two factories, I can basically achieve a closed loop."

"Awesome. Before coming, I always thought you were still in the exploration stage. I didn't expect it to have matured to this extent. You have really taught me a lesson!"
