Chapter 657 Scarce Goods
"That's rice! Am I seeing it right?!" Commander Lin asked Hu Aijun beside him.
Hu Aijun looked in the direction Commander Lin was looking and exclaimed, "It's really rice!"
The previous promotional video of the Thunder Base actually showed that there were professionals in this vegetable base who were growing crops such as rice and wheat.
Videos are just videos, but seeing it in person is even more shocking!
The speed of giving birth is so fast!
No wonder Thunder Base can sell rice and wheat flour to the outside world, because they are really producing it in large quantities!
"Master Leng, can you take us over there to have a look?" Commander Lin looked at Leng Ning excitedly.
"Of course." Leng Ning agreed readily.
So, he took a few people and walked towards the rice experimental field.
Along the way, the workers greeted Leng Ning when they saw her. Seeing Leng Ning being close to Lei Ting, they soon guessed Lei Ting's identity.
The workers all admired the talented man and beautiful woman and expressed their most sincere blessings.
"Because rice sells very well, a large area here has been divided into rice experimental fields. The person in charge of this area is the wood-type mutant with the strongest supernatural power in the vegetable base except me." Leng Ning introduced.
As he was speaking, the wood-type mutant saw Leng Ning and saluted her from a distance.
Leng Ning just nodded at him and he continued with his own business.
When they got closer, they found that there were a total of forty fields in the entire rice area, and workers were busy in almost three-quarters of the fields.
The majority of them were responsible for harvesting rice, while others were either cleaning rice stumps or planting rice seedlings.
The wood-type mutant is only responsible for one thing, which is to continuously promote the growth of rice seedlings or rice stakes until they produce heavy and ripe rice ears.
He was really fast. Hundreds of workers were working with him alone, but they still couldn't keep up...
"Too powerful. With such productivity, it's no wonder you can sell grain to other countries!" Commander Lin exclaimed.
The other three people in the group had the same idea in their minds.
"By the way, Master Leng, I saw in the video before that it said that you only sell unprocessed rice?" Hu Aijun suddenly asked.
Leng Ning nodded, "Yes. As you can see, we are short of manpower here and can hardly spare any manpower to process the rice."
"The space jade is a good thing. There will be no problem putting fresh rice in it. To save trouble, we can just sell the harvested rice directly."
"In fact, this is more popular with buyers. After all, the unit price of unprocessed paddy is much lower than that of rice, so it is more cost-effective for them to take it home and process it themselves."
Hu Aijun's eyes lit up. "With so many people in the Thunder Base, no one has suggested cooperating with the vegetable base to do the rice processing business?" This feels like a good business opportunity.
Commander Lin then looked at Leng Ning, thinking that Xiaojun was a smart kid!
"No." Leng Ning said with a smile.
"Rice processing is not an easy task. You need either a drying site or drying equipment. The volume we produce is so large that a normal factory cannot process it all."
"Furthermore, the bases that come to buy goods actually have a lot of surplus labor at home. For them, buying low-priced rice that can be taken back for processing is far better than buying processed high-priced rice," Leng Ning explained.
Everyone was stunned, and then nodded.
In fact, whether it is paddy or rice, the price is determined by the Leng family. It is really a good deed for the Leng family to set such a low price for such an important material.
"The unit price of rice is so cheap, there are bases willing to buy rice directly." Hu Aijun suddenly said.
Leng Ning was stunned and looked at Hu Aijun.
The others also looked at Hu Aijun.
"I heard from my father before that those bases that can produce munitions, oil and other precious materials are particularly wealthy. They basically rely on purchasing daily necessities from outside, and have no desire to produce and process them themselves." Hu Aijun looked at Commander Lin.
Commander Lin was stunned.
"That's the situation. Anyway, with the space jade, purchasing and transportation are very convenient." He then said.
Leng Ning smiled and said, "Aofei is also a base like this." She discovered this when she and her elder brother went to that restaurant to eat. Although the food was not good, the prices were quite expensive.
Hu Aijun was stunned.
"Hey - mainly because your products are really good and cheap!" Aofei is indeed considered. In addition to making helicopters, there are no other industries that can be named in their base.
That was why he thought that maybe Aofei could introduce some industries so that the residents in the base could find things to do.
"Haha, if you like it, you can buy more!" Leng Ning said with a smile.
Anyway, the vegetable base is producing amazing amounts of vegetables now, and they come to pick up the goods themselves, so she hopes to sell as much as possible.
"Of course!" Commander Lin said immediately, "Such good rice is really pleasing to the eye!"
The money from fifty helicopters is enough for them to buy a large amount of food. They can purchase rice as much as they want, the more the better!
If they can't use up the rice in the short term, they can just follow Xiaojun's advice and introduce rice processing equipment, and then sell the rice to the wealthy bases at a higher price. Anyway, they will need to process the rice themselves, and the price of rice is cheap, so there is a lot of room for them to operate.
By the way, they can also resell other goods purchased from the Thunder Base to those wealthy bases.
Although this business is destined to not last long, it is enough for them to make a lot of money before those bases are able to contact the Thunder Base.
Hey! How come his brain is so sharp! Old Hu would definitely praise him for his business acumen!
Thinking of this, Commander Lin thought that he could buy as much food and supplies as possible this time. Because these things are scarce outside now, not only will he not have to worry about not being able to get back the money for the fifty helicopters, but he can also make more than ten times the money! Yes, more than ten times is definitely no problem!
The more Commander Lin thought about it, the more excited he became. At the same time, he began to regret it. He felt that the space jade artifact he brought with him this time might not be enough.
"All crops stimulated by wood-type mutants can grow to their best growth state, and because the stimulation process is very short, there will be no insect pests and the like, so pesticides are avoided. It can be said that our products are all pure natural and pollution-free! This level could not be achieved before the end of the world!" Leng Ning said with a smile.
"Okay, okay!" Commander Lin nodded repeatedly.
"That's a wheat experimental field over there. Do you want to go take a look?" Leng Ning looked ahead again.
"Of course!" Commander Lin said immediately.
Leng Ning smiled and led the way.
Seeing the yellow and dry wheat straw and the plump wheat grains on it, Hu Aijun and Commander Lin couldn't help but start thinking about what they would do after they bought the wheat.
