A smug smile immediately appeared on the man's face. Then, he adopted a humble attitude and told Lu Yuan the purpose of his visit to cooperate.
"It's extremely difficult for us to obtain chickens that specifically feed on bloodthirsty black beetles in this survivor base. I wonder how many of these chickens you could sell to us?"
Lu Yuan stroked his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "How about this, for the time being we can only provide you with one hundred chickens. If you need more later, you can continue to provide them. However, the next cooperation will not be related to this one, and the cooperation model will need to be temporarily changed!"
After hearing this, the other party immediately nodded: "Of course, of course, Mr. Lu, we'll do whatever you say!"
"Okay, then please give me a list of personnel first! I want to see what positions are needed!"
The man quickly nodded.
After watching Lu Yuan leave, Chen Bin fell into deep thought.
"They definitely don't have such simple motives. I think this is just a ruse, a way to curry favor with us! I'm sure some of these people are planning to become spies!"
Lu Yuan watched the other person's retreating figure, narrowed his eyes, and sneered, "Since they want to send spies here, why don't we just turn the tables and turn their spies against us!"
Chen Bin's face immediately showed a look of surprise. He looked at Lu Yuan with some confusion: "Turning them away? Mr. Lu, do you mean turning their spies away? How is that possible? The people they send are definitely highly loyal to them. People who can be easily turned away by them would not be sent by them in the first place!"
After listening, Lu Yuan burst into laughter. He gently patted Chen Bin's arm and asked, "What do they need most right now in their survivor base?"
Chen Bin rubbed his head and thought for a while before saying, "It should be food! Oh, right, and good living conditions!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "That's right, it's about good things, good living conditions, and normal interpersonal relationships! So we should give these people they sent over the corresponding things, since we are the kind of people everyone has now!"
After listening, Chen Bin slapped his thigh and gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up, laughing repeatedly, "Brilliant! With this move, President Lu, the spies they sent will definitely become our people. I wouldn't say they're 100% loyal, but if we want them to do something for us in the future, it won't be a problem!"
Lu Yuan nodded, still somewhat worried, and said, "Although I say I'm relieved, I'm still a little uneasy. After all, these people aren't our people! If they really betray us, it'll be too late to cry then. Who knows what kind of generous terms they've offered? But we'll still follow our normal rules here. We can't give them special privileges; we can't spoil them!"
So the two walked back to the base.
That evening, Xiao Shan came to the room with a worried look on her face, placed a report on the table, and kept sighing.
When Lu Yuan saw this, he went over and asked, "What's wrong? You look so worried, is something the matter?"
Xiao Shan sighed again, then handed the report to Lu Yuan and said, "Look, we're running low on food! We recently gained over a thousand more people, bringing the total to 5,500 at our base. That's several thousand kilograms of food going out every day. If we keep going like this, our food supply will only last a month at most! With so much food going out of my hands, I have a feeling we might run out of food in the future!"
After hearing this, Lu Yuan burst into laughter. He gently pulled Xiao Shan into his arms and whispered, "Don't worry, we won't run out of food! Remember Wu Tian? He's already mass-produced our grain seeds. All we need to do is deliver them to him. When he brings the seeds, we can plant them and harvest our first batch of grain. The first batch will yield about 3,000 jin per mu. We have 50 mu of land here, so we can harvest about 500 tons of grain every month! Even if another 5,000 people come to our base, we can still feed them!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xiao Shan's eyes widened in surprise: "What? Five hundred tons? Are you sure you can produce five hundred tons every month?"
Lu Yuan scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, that's about right. But for the sake of production diversity, we also need to raise a batch of animals, such as poultry and livestock. So, to feed these animals, we'll have to use at least half of our grain. That way, we'll still have about 200 tons left. Of course, we can't just grow these crops; vegetables and fruits will also take up a lot of space. If we calculate that each person gets two jin of grain a day, a thousand people would get two thousand jin, and ten thousand people would get twenty thousand jin, which is ten tons. Don't worry, we have enough grain!"
Xiao Shan smiled after hearing this. He hadn't expected that the problem that had bothered him for so long would finally be solved so easily. He had been too embarrassed to tell Lu Yuan before because he saw that Lu Yuan was busy with other things every day. So, in order to reduce his pressure, he had kept this matter to himself. But seeing the food being consumed little by little, he finally brought up his inner question.
