Long San knew, of course, that this matter couldn't be rushed. Even if he was in a hurry, these poultry and livestock would have to grow up before they could be sent to his meat processing plant for slaughter. But now, watching his money flow out like water every day, only he could understand the pain in his heart.
Lu Yuan put down his wine glass and looked at Long San, saying, "I'm facing a few problems now! The first one is the issue of food!"
"Huh? You don't have any food left?"
"I'm not talking about meat, I'm talking about grains, staple foods!"
"Oh! You can use other foods instead of staple foods!"
Lu Yuan suddenly felt a headache coming on. Long San was only concerned about his own situation, and Lu Yuan even suspected that the other party thought that his poultry and livestock didn't need to eat.
"I'm talking about the grain that poultry and livestock eat!"
"Oh! I get it! I made a mistake!" Long San scratched his bald head sheepishly.
"We could buy some hay! Hay is much cheaper than grain!"
After saying that, Long San thought for a moment and said, "I do know a pasture owner, I can introduce you to him!"
"No need, I already have a plan!"
"Oh? You already have a plan?"
Long San looked at Lu Yuan in surprise. From the time he met Lu Yuan until now, he always felt that everything was easy for Lu Yuan to solve.
"That's right. This morning I went to the border of District Nine and found a suitable place there that's ideal for growing crops!"
"You're planning to grow grain? Wow! I really didn't expect you to be so ambitious! You just opened a farm, and now you're thinking about growing grain? Are you planning to turn it into a complete food service?"
"Hehe, I do have that thought, but realizing this wish is really not easy! After all, not having any money right now is a real pain point!"
After speaking, Lu Yuan looked up at the other person.
How could that old fox Long San not know what Lu Yuan was thinking? He immediately began to play dumb.
"Oh! That's right, it's really tough not having any money. Actually, you don't need to grow so much grain. Who are you growing it for? Or are you going to sell it? Right now, people are only interested in the live poultry from your farm. As for grain, they'd rather just collect some protein from their monthly welfare payments to keep them alive!"
"Brother Long, I actually have an idea, I wonder if you'd be interested?"
Lu Yuan picked up a piece of food, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.
Long San looked at Lu Yuan with some hesitation: "You tell me first!"
"Ahem, I'm planning to team up with all the bosses around here to take over this grain-producing area! What do you think?"
"What? You want to team up with the bosses of the left and right to open a grain mill? Are you crazy?! Nobody's money grows on trees! I doubt anyone will cooperate with you!"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "But once people start cooperating, they'll definitely follow suit and cooperate with us when they see the profits!"
"Someone? Who in their right mind would cooperate with you on this project? This thing is a money-burning business. Not only do you need to buy land, but you also need to level it, get grain seeds, and then you need to set up a processing plant. You can't do without pesticides, fertilizers, and so on. All of this will cost as much as opening a farm! More importantly, arable land is so scarce now. With your ten or eight acres, no one will be interested!"
Seeing the other party raise a series of questions, Lu Yuan chuckled inwardly. He had already guessed on the way here that the other party would not agree. After all, with little land, there would be little to grow. Spending money on grain was really not as worthwhile as eating some protein.
Moreover, now that the meat processing plant is about to open, Long San has no intention of investing in any other businesses. The money he has painstakingly saved up is going to be used for something much better.
Lu Yuan sighed, then glanced around quietly, and leaned closer with a mysterious look, whispering, "What if I told you I have a mutated seed?"
Long San hadn't even taken a bite of his food when he heard Lu Yuan's words and was immediately stunned, the food falling out of his mouth.
"What? Change..."
Then Long San quickly lowered his voice, swallowed hard, and whispered, "You said it's a mutated seed? Really? What exactly did you get when you went to the city last time?"
"Don't worry about that! I'm short on cash right now and happen to need some investors, so I'm just asking if you're interested! If you don't, there will be other people who want to partner with me! If you see the profits later and then want to join, you won't have the chance! You're the first person I approached for this plan! Don't let me down!"
Long San hesitated slightly, staring intently into Lu Yuan's eyes, trying to discern from the other's gaze whether what he had just said was true.
However, Lu Yuan couldn't tell what was real and what was fake at that moment, and Long San was undecided for a moment.
After a long pause, Long San finally spoke: "Brother, are you serious or not? Don't try to fool me. This money of mine is hard-earned, I really can't afford to play this game! And right now, your farm's live poultry isn't going to sell, so I have to import a lot of live poultry from the city every day. Do you know how expensive that stuff is? And now it's hard to find a market, I haven't even opened up the market! I'm so worried I could tear my hair out!"
Lu Yuan glanced at Long San's bald head: "You're still pulling your hair? You're dreaming! What I just said was true! I'll give you a chance! Don't say I didn't include you later!"
Looking at Lu Yuan's calm expression, Long San felt extremely frustrated. His desire to make money was completely under Lu Yuan's thumb, but now the opportunity was right in front of him, and he had no idea whether he should seize it or not. If he really chose to cooperate, would there be any problems later?
