Chapter 138 A Small Accident
Tang Yuan had no other idea but to earn some pocket money.
The feed business is good, but it is impossible to make it big and strong. If you really want to make it big, you can't just throw crushed corn and corn stalks into the feed. You also have to consider the nutritional content and add all the trace elements needed by various animals.
This job is too specialized, and she is not suited to expand it given her habit of working alone.
Unless she acquires a feed company like she did with the shares of the beverage factory, there is no need for that. After all, in Country M today, feed-related companies have certainly occupied most of the market. She has no technology and no advantages, so she cannot snatch business.
The feed she sold to Sun Dong at this time could not be completely considered as feed. It was the same thing that farmers used to feed chickens and ducks. It could be sold for money, but it was not something that could be said to make a lot of money.
But selling feed is less risky than selling grain.
There is tea and coffee every year in Yunnan Province. No matter how much savings she has, she can't bear to spend it all. She has to make every bit of money from selling things. Otherwise, if she is short of RMB one day, she won't know where to find it.
Why is there still no news about allowing foreign investment to set up factories?
During the hottest time of summer, the beverage factory's business was developing slowly. The cool beverage with a special taste did not gain public recognition at the first time, but according to Mira, this start is much better than when she was selling corn juice before. As long as it can continue to develop in this way, maybe it can really occupy some beverage markets.
Tang Yuan naturally didn't say much when she said that, and just acted as a "hands-off manager". Apart from sending tea leaves from time to time, he would go to the factory where the crusher was stored to buy things.
Every day when Lola came to deliver the milk, she would help her collect some of last year's corn stock, some wheat husks, and various other agricultural product scraps that could be broken up and used as feed.
She comes over every few days, breaks the scraps up, packs them into bags and takes them away directly, leaving space in the small factory to continue storing new scraps.
Lola and Mira both knew that she was making feed, but she didn't sell it in Country M. The bags she used to hold the feed were just a bunch of random bags she had picked up from somewhere, so they thought she was really giving them to her friends and praised her several times for being nice to her friends.
Tang Yuan accepted all the compliments.
After all, she brought back feed and helped Sun Dong and the others make some money, so how could that not be considered being good to her friends?
Another day, Tang Yuan finished preparing all the feed and loaded the bags of feed into the car.
"It's getting late. I have to go back early, otherwise I might run into danger on the road," Tang Yuan turned around and said to Mira, "I'll leave all matters concerning the beverage factory to you. I trust you. As for the accounts, we can review them once a month."
"Is it really possible? You own half of the shares of this beverage factory." Mira was a little nervous.
"Of course," Tang Yuan nodded, "Or do you think you have too much to do?"
"No, no," Mira shook her head immediately, "I like managing the beverage factory, but I'm afraid you'll worry. Since you trust me, I will definitely do it well and won't let your money go to waste. The beverage factory can make money."
Tang Yuan nodded again, thinking that no matter whether the beverage factory could make money or not, as long as the beverage factory could consume all the tea leaves in her inventory, she would not lose anything.
More than 200,000 kilograms of tea leaves were sold at one dollar per kilogram, which would bring in more than 200,000 US dollars if all were sold. And she only sold half of the shares of the beverage factory for 100,000 US dollars.
By this calculation, she could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars as long as she could sell all the tea.
Thinking about this, she smiled even more deeply when she faced Mira: "I can give you another 2% of the shares as your reward for managing the beverage factory. I hope our beverage factory will get better and better."
Tang Yuan previously purchased 51% of the shares, which gave him enough say. Mira's shares were diluted, and she and Lola together only owned 49% of the shares.
Now that Tang Yuan has given up 2%, the combined shares of the two of them will exceed 51%. Once an important decision is made, as long as Mira can call on Lola, the final decision can be made by the two of them.
Tang Yuan didn't know much about the operation of a beverage factory, but she believed that no one would go against money. If giving Mira an extra 2% of the shares could allow her to run the factory more attentively, she believed that the rewards she would get would not be small.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Mira happily confirmed with her: "Really?"
In order to reassure her, Tang Yuan signed a share transfer contract with her on the spot, which clearly stated that the shares were given to Mira as a manager. This way, if Mira was no longer willing to be a manager in the future, the shares would not be 100% in her hands.
After struggling with the contract for a while, it was already dark outside.
It was noon in the mainland at this time. She had to go to Yun Province to collect tea tonight, so it would be inappropriate for her to disappear here. After saying goodbye to Mira, she drove away.
Her "temporary residence" is in her car, but now her main warehouse for storing supplies is in Country M. The feed can only be temporarily placed in the car and can be transported to the warehouse after returning to her residence.
The tea leaves do not need to be transported to the warehouse in Country M. This batch of summer tea leaves is tender tea and will be sent to Hong Kong for sale.
Something happened today, so she left her car at her "temporary residence" on the Hong Kong side. The car was parked not far from the warehouse, so it could be taken directly to the warehouse there.
So, seeing that it was getting darker and darker in the distance ahead, she did not dare to drive straight over. She parked the car in a slightly brighter spot, put the "temporary residence" in the back seat, and went straight back to the game space.
It was broad daylight in the country at that moment, and she spent the entire day traveling between Hong Kong and Yunnan Province.
After handing over the business of selling things, her main job now is to trade goods, moving them from here to there, and from there to here. It is more tiring when there are a lot of things, and more tiring when there are no goods.
In the evening, after she had moved all the tea leaves, she raised her wrist to check the time.
It was exactly ten o'clock in the evening. In Country M where she lived, it should be seven o'clock in the morning. It was bright and she could drive back and go to sleep. Otherwise, she would have to worry about it all night.
Thinking of this, she changed her identity in the game space and came to her "temporary residence" in Country M.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt something was wrong. Wasn't she parking her car outdoors? Why couldn't she see the sky from outside? Why did it feel like her car was parked inside the house? She looked up and saw the ceiling.
Tang Yuan frowned and carefully sat up in the "temporary residence". Seeing the iron sheet in the distance outside the car window, he became more certain that his car had inexplicably moved to another place.
Looking at the driving position again, the driving position that was originally in good condition was suddenly torn into pieces.
No, who?!
Not only did they steal my car, they also broke my steering wheel. How am I supposed to drive back?
That's too much.
She frowned and listened carefully for a long time. After making sure that there was no one outside, she carefully opened the door of her "temporary residence" and stuck her head out to see what was happening outside.
This is a warehouse. In addition to her car, there are many other cars, but the door is closed and there is no sound. It seems that there is indeed no one outside.
Tang Yuan stood up, put away his "temporary residence", looked around the car window, and confirmed that there was no surveillance before opening the door and getting out.
When she walked to the next car, she saw the steering wheel inside was also damaged. She couldn't help but curse in her heart, thinking that the car thief was too lawless.
She knew that Country M might not be safe, and usually tried not to travel at night. This was a special case, but she did not dare to drive late at night, and she parked the car in a bright place with street lights.
Where there are street lights, it means there are residents nearby.
But I didn't expect that even so, the car would be stolen.
Tang Yuan walked around the warehouse cursing, trying to find the location of the warehouse door.
As she was searching, she heard a sound outside. She immediately put out her "temporary residence", stuck to the corner, opened the door and went in.
The "temporary residence" was invisible. She could see outside while she was inside, but people outside could not see inside. Not long after she entered, the warehouse door opened and two cars drove in one after another.
As soon as the car came in and stopped, people got out and carried out boxes of things.
Tang Yuan stayed in the warehouse, motionless, until these people moved all the things down and drove away. Then she carefully stuck her head out to look. After the warehouse door was closed again, she pushed open the door of her "temporary residence", held it in her palm, and went to where the other party's things were.
Opening a box, she saw a box of car parts inside.
Another box, another box of car parts.
Based on the cars with smashed steering wheels she had just seen, the car parts were most likely stolen, and those cars were probably stolen by these people with the intention of re-sell them.
She even bought a second-hand car. It's too much to steal such a broken car!
Tang Yuan continued to curse in her heart. She reached out to open the box in front of her. After seeing what was inside, she couldn't help but exclaimed in her heart. This box of things was no longer car parts, but a box of firearms.
He was still robbing with a gun.
She was thankful that she did not drive in the dark last night, otherwise she might have encountered a group of armed robbers on the way. If she "disappeared" in front of them, it would have been a big problem.
There were dozens of boxes of stuff in front of him, including car parts and firearms.
Tang Yuan rolled her eyes and called out the "temporary residence" again, moving them all into the game space one by one. There was really no space, so she went to the warehouse downstairs of Xiangjiang Building and moved the things over one by one.
She wants the gun and the parts. These people are unkind, so she can't be blamed for being unjust.
After moving the things, she quietly walked to the warehouse door and listened. When she heard no sound outside, she carefully opened a crack.
Through the gap, she saw someone in the distance, but no one nearby. She looked around and found that this place was relatively remote and it didn't look like anyone could come here. It would not be easy for her to leave.
Not to mention that she didn't have a car, even if she did, she would definitely attract attention if she drove away.
So he did not go out, nor did he close the door. He deliberately left a gap, then found a corner that he could see the whole thing at a glance, put out the "temporary residence", and crawled in.
After that, she never left, but let Amy stay in the "temporary residence" and returned to Wen Jiaqi's body. She divided her mind into Amy's body and slept soundly in the Hong Kong house.
She didn't know how long it had been, but when she was half asleep, she heard a noisy sound.
When I looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the morning in Hong Kong.
It is five o'clock in the evening in Country M at this time.
It took a whole day before she discovered the problem; she had even taken a nap.
