Chapter 561 You Are Crazy
As the saying goes, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
Just like Zheng Fu, their purpose for the second phase of the Stone Garden is clear, and their interests are also obvious. What is Zheng Fu worried about now? It is that they are already short of resources and food, and the surrounding small towns have been flooded by mudslides, and they are all pouring into Wucheng. Soon, Ningshan City will also move in with the entire city.
Wucheng was already in a state of panic. The only thing left to do was feed more people. How could they accommodate so many people when Wucheng was half flooded? Not only did they have to feed so many people, but they also had to find shelter in this freezing weather.
Why does Zhengfu need Shiyuan Phase II?
It's because they are attracted by this huge and warm place, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. If they squeeze in, it is not impossible to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. If Shiyuan can really build a food industry chain, it is not impossible to build houses around it.
Wucheng’s requirements are very simple, as long as those who come here to seek refuge don’t die and can keep eating.
The interests of these shareholders are even simpler. To put it bluntly, they don't care how many people die or how many people go hungry. As long as Shiyuan can bring them profits, provide them with luxury goods in the apocalypse, and allow them to eat good meals every day, they can not only live the life before the apocalypse, but also have enough supplies to store, giving them enough sense of security, that's enough.
What both of them have in common is that they both need the second phase of the Stone Garden to fulfill their long-cherished wish, which is why there is a current conflict of interest.
Qian Duoduo motioned for everyone to quiet down. He asked Jingshu, "So what do you think? Actually, everyone's thinking is pretty simple. Since we've invested, we need a return. No one is interested in the virtual currency promised by Zhengfu. As long as we can still distribute various supplies, fresh fruits and vegetables, and have enough food stored in this apocalyptic world, that's enough... The question is, will Zhengfu agree?"
If all the output is given to shareholders, how can Zhengfu support the tens of thousands of people it has brought in?
Jingshu asked Qian Duoduo in return: "Mr. Qian, you are talking about what everyone thinks, but you haven't told me what you think."
Qian Duoduo most directly reflects the shareholders' thoughts. They can ignore everything, but in this end times, their lives must be guaranteed, and each of them must get a share of the produced materials.
Qian Duoduo was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and crunched the walnuts. Yes, his idea was actually different. The second phase of the stone garden was a springboard, and he had more plans to complete. If he just handed it over to Zheng Fu, he would not be happy, as this would interrupt many of his plans. This time it was the second phase of the stone garden, and next time it would be the real stone garden. What if all his supplies were asked for the next time?
Qian Duoduo pondered for a moment, then looked up and suddenly asked, "You've found a new food source, a type of large edible insect. Each insect contains hundreds of kilograms of protein, enough to feed hundreds or even thousands of people a day. You can provide some every month, right?"
Jingshu raised her eyebrows. She was quite well-informed and did not deny it.
The shareholders began to whisper again, as if they were envious of Jingshu for having such a way, but they were also a little surprised. They didn't expect that Jingshu, who was so unprepossessing, could get so much insect meat. She was really going to make a fortune.
Qian Duoduo narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard, and said, "Jin Tianci told me the news. He said that if Shiyuan is handed over to Zhengfu, they will not participate in this business. We can exchange a large number of insects from you at a price that satisfies you. This is considered as compensation for us."
What could be done with a large amount of insect meat? There were many things it could do. In today's world, having food could employ more people, support more livestock, and ultimately enable more work. With this stable food source, the Stone Garden could expand its farms several times over, raising livestock on a large scale, even building a third Stone Garden, and saving a large amount of existing food. After all, the lowest level of the Stone Garden had no rice to eat, and without alternatives, a lot of resources would be wasted.
"So what?" Jingshu asked.
Qian Duoduo tapped his fingers on the bar and said with a smile: "Why don't we talk about it first, how to give the certificate to the second phase of Shiyuan?" For some reason, the matter that had troubled him for a long time
After seeing Jingshu's determined and confident eyes, he also calmed down. Perhaps, she really has a way? Qian Duoduo vaguely felt that this insect meat might be a springboard.
But Zhengfu wants Shiyuan, so naturally they want to get all the products of Shiyuan and be self-sufficient. Will they agree to this conflict of interest?
Jing Shu didn't beat around the bush. She stood up and stood in the middle of the bar, asking, "No matter how it's given, don't the shareholders here have only one request? That is, they want to receive the various output materials of Shiyuan every day and receive dividends every year, just like Shiyuan? Of course, the premise is that the output materials are the same as Shiyuan's."
"Yes, that's what we mean."
“We don’t want virtual currency.”
"After the second phase is operational, as long as we can get double the dividends from the Stone Garden, that's all that matters. We don't care about anything else."
At this time, Old Xu, who had been quiet in the crowd, stood up and asked with a smile, "This situation is no longer under our control. I wonder how Miss Jingshu can convince Zheng Fu to pay us this high rent every month?"
Why, why do you want Zheng Fu to listen to you? Why do you want Zheng Fu to give up such a big piece of cake?
Jingshu asked, "How many people does Zhengfu plan to move into Phase 2?"
Qian Duoduo pondered, "20,000 people. They're planning to completely emulate the Stone Garden, creating a self-sufficient ecosystem. They're planning to move all the people from Wucheng in the old city over here. I heard a spot in the second phase of the Stone Garden costs hundreds of virtual coins now. Then they'll add people from outside the old city to the old city."
Then some people whispered that this was too much, Shiyuan had not planned to give them the quota yet.
Jingshu smiled and said, "Tell me, if we negotiate with the Zhengfu and plan to hire 50,000 people to work in the second phase of the Stone Garden, providing food and accommodation, but all profits from the Stone Garden will be distributed among themselves, do you think the Zhengfu will agree?"
"Are you crazy? Shiyuan has a maximum of 20,000 people and is self-sufficient. How can we support more people?"
"50,000 people, how are we going to feed them? How much does the Stone Garden produce?"
Mr. Xu frowned and looked at Jingshu.
Jing Shu narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "Mr. Qian, just tell me, if this is the condition, would Zheng Fu agree?"
"Only a fool would disagree."
Qian Duoduo nodded. "If I could help Zheng Fu relieve the burden of tens of thousands of people, that would be my greatest joy. And the rich produce of the Stone Garden is naturally no match for the survival of these tens of thousands of people... You, you, you mean that batch of insect meat?"
