258: Chapter 258: Becoming a Salesperson

“How cunning are you, kid? You’d be so kind? Selling a production line? I don’t believe it. Isn’t selling feed more profitable?” Yan Zhengping stated his reasons.

“Commander Yan, I can only say… you know me too well!” Oriental Chen laughed.

“However, this time, you guessed wrong. I am indeed going to sell the production line,” Oriental Chen said.

“Really?” Yan Zhengping was suspicious.

“Really!” Oriental Chen nodded affirmatively.

“This production line wouldn’t have any problems, would it?” Yan Zhengping still didn’t believe him.

“Absolutely no problems!” Oriental Chen said.

“Then is the difficulty of producing feed too great?” Yan Zhengping continued to ask.

“Foolproof operation, no difficulty,” Oriental Chen replied.

“Then is the production cost high?” Yan Zhengping continued to ask.

“It’s not bad! According to my estimation, besides labor and energy, there isn’t much cost,” Oriental Chen pondered for a moment before speaking.

“Then I really can’t imagine what reason you could have for wanting to sell the production line,” Yan Zhengping said.

He had to figure out why Oriental Chen was selling the production line.

As the saying goes, everyone in the world scrambles for profit.

If he didn’t figure it out, he might very well fall into this kid’s trap.

“Commander Yan, stop guessing. I’ll tell you, I’m afraid of trouble,” Oriental Chen said.

“Afraid of trouble?” Yan Zhengping was puzzled.

“Do you know what raw materials my production line uses to process mouse feed?” Oriental Chen asked.

“What raw materials?” Yan Zhengping asked.

“Mutated cockroaches, Antss, fish, and so on,” Oriental Chen said.

“What? That stuff can be eaten?” Yan Zhengping immediately felt incredibly disgusted.

“Look at you. This isn’t for you to eat, why are you disgusted?” Oriental Chen said with disdain.

“But…” Yan Zhengping didn’t know what to say, he could only sigh at how bold Oriental Chen truly was!

“Don’t worry, the production line can crush those mutated animals and process them into high-protein nutrients. It’s no problem for mice to eat. Besides, those mice will only live for a few months at most, so why do you care what they eat? As long as they grow fast and reproduce quickly, isn’t that good? You’re only taking their crystalss, not killing them for meat, so what’s the problem?” Oriental Chen said.

Yan Zhengping didn’t say a word, still processing the information.

“Then if you think it’s too much of a hardship for your mice to eat this, just use your Southwest Military Region’s reserve grain for production. I don’t care,” Oriental Chen said.

Yan Zhengping was choked by these words.

“That’s right, they’re just a bunch of mice, why bother agonizing over what they eat? Why am I so stubborn?” Yan Zhengping was enlightened by these words.

Nothing is set in stone.

In the past, when feeding chickens and pigs, he most disliked those unscrupulous merchants who added unclean things to feed to promote egg and meat production. So, a habitual way of thinking naturally formed in his mind: feed must be clean, safe, and hygienic.

But the current situation was different. Mice weren’t for human consumption, so what difference did the feed make? Wasn’t it enough for them to be full?

Using mutated animals as raw materials, it was a brilliant idea. That stuff was everywhere, completely free, so processing it into feed would be very low cost. And he was just wondering what use those mutated insects had, and now there was one?

“But if mutated insects are used as raw materials, there are still problems,” Yan Zhengping pondered for a moment and said.

“What problems?” Oriental Chen asked.

“Hunting these mutated insects is very troublesome. It requires a lot of manpower, weapons, and ammunition, and then there’s transportation and processing. When all this is factored in, the cost of the feed will definitely not be low,” Yan Zhengping said.

“Do you think I wouldn’t have thought of these problems? This is also why I’m directly selling the production line. Next, let me introduce you to the machine behind me,” Oriental Chen said with a smile, pointing to the aircraft behind him.

Yan Zhengping looked at the strange aircraft again.

“This is not an ordinary aircraft, but an aircraft that integrates harvesting and feed processing. It can achieve fully automatic harvesting of terrestrial and aquatic animals. It doesn’t require ammunition and doesn’t require too much manpower. With this machine, you can automatically produce a continuous supply of feed. How about it? Amazing, right?” Oriental Chen transformed into a salesman, asking with a smile.

After listening to Oriental Chen’s description, Yan Zhengping’s eyes lit up.

This was a divine artifact! With this thing, all his concerns were resolved.

No need for transportation, no need for ammunition, the cost would definitely come down.

“No! There’s still a problem,” Yan Zhengping calmed down.

“Since you’ve developed such an amazing machine, why don’t you use it yourself, but instead want to sell it?” Yan Zhengping didn’t think Oriental Chen was a fool.

“I told you, I’m afraid of trouble. If I used it myself, wouldn’t I have to hire people? Wouldn’t I have to manage? Wouldn’t I have to sell the feed I produce? Isn’t that troublesome? It’s better to just sell the machine to you, and you can produce it yourselves,” Oriental Chen explained.

“That’s true!” Yan Zhengping nodded.

“Let’s go, let’s get on and try it first!” Yan Zhengping dispelled his concerns and prepared to test the aircraft.
