Even though you’ve acquired a lot, continuing like this doesn’t feel right to me.” “What? Has someone said something?” Zhao Guang asked in surprise. “No one has said anything, but I can sense that the atmosphere is off. I always feel like the higher-ups have been watching us more closely lately, and I’m worried that this might lead to trouble.” Zhao Guang nodded seriously, “I understand. I’ll try to reduce our gold income.” After all, gold is unlike other commodities; there’s too much that can be done with it. Converting these gold into cash won’t make much of an impact on the overall market, at least not in a way that would attract attention from above. But once you turn that money into gold, that’s a whole different story. If this keeps increasing, it would be strange if no one came looking for trouble. Perhaps they would suspect I’ve found some ancient gold treasure; even if not, they might just make one up. “Also, what about those five pigs you handled? Our supply here is running low. If this continues, the breeding farm will run out of those pigs.” “So soon? I remember there being quite a few left.” The last batch he had brought over was plentiful; it didn’t make sense for them to be gone so quickly. “It’s because the higher-ups have already agreed to exchanges with other countries. They’ve sent over a lot, and we have to send out corresponding breeder pigs in return. It seems like these people are intent on trading all our breeder pigs away.” Zhao Guang realized, “I see, these people sure have a lot of ideas.” Once the breeder pigs are all traded away, he would have to buy more and figure out where these things come from, right? Or perhaps they want to take control of the research institution behind it, or even have other plans. Of course, it would be best to truly trade everything off—then all those pigs would belong to them. Very well, Zhao Guang understood, but patience is key; there would come a time for their regret. “So, what about those new species that were sent over? Have we received them all here?” “We’ve got them in hand, and a large portion has already been distributed, but we’re keeping a few seeds of each kind. It’s just that the new breeding farm is still under construction, which takes some time.” “Good, we can’t give up on these things either. Also, make sure the research lab takes a good look at them. We need to use these species to develop even better varieties. This time, I want to outpace our competition.” Zhao Yan rolled her eyes in annoyance, “Outpace? You’re dreaming. Just because you’re researching, doesn’t mean they’re not. Their investment is way bigger than yours.” Zhao Guang was indeed good at making money, but now his investments were mainly in infrastructure. The actual research funding was far less compared to others. Furthermore, some of those research projects are backed by countries; Zhao Guang simply could not compete with that. And if other people got hold of those species, wouldn’t they research them too? It’s impossible to think otherwise. But Zhao Guang wasn’t concerned; he still had technology from another world in his grasp. Only after Qu Cheng and the others left did Zhao Yan take Zhao Guang to Guo Siyu’s side. “Si Yu, help me pick out some nice-looking gemstones to make a set of jewelry.” “You’re wearing these things? Are you getting old?” Zhao Guang asked directly. “Not at all, there are styles for the young too,” Guo Siyu quickly replied. Zhao Yan smacked Zhao Guang without good humor, “Don’t forget, we have New Year’s in a few months. Don’t you know you should get a gift for mom and dad?” This is for mom, right? Dad couldn’t use this stuff. But jade, it seems, isn’t just for making jewelry; it can be used for other things as well. Thinking this, Zhao Guang simply said, “Then make a variety of things. Are there styles for the elderly?” Guo Siyu felt somewhat helpless, “I’ll have the experts design some; they’ll definitely meet your needs.” It didn’t matter before when there was no money, but now that there’s money, of course you have to give the best. Quality aside, the expensive ones definitely won’t be bad, that’s for sure. After seeing off the two, Zhao Guang immediately called Liu Jiayin. “Jiajia, how have you been recently?” “Not bad, I guess. I’m still alive. The supply of pigs is almost gone, did you know that?” “Of course, I knew. That’s why I’m calling you, to say that the pigs will arrive tomorrow or the day after. You can send someone over in advance. But remember, it has to be kept a secret.” “Don’t worry, the people I bring are all from within our own ranks, absolutely trustworthy.” Liu Jiayin was ready to take matters into her own hands, trusting those people completely since they were all locals. If anybody couldn’t resist the temptation, the monk might run but not the temple; he trusted that no one would be that foolish. Suddenly, Liu Jiayin spoke up, “By the way, there’s another thing; shouldn’t we come up with a name for ourselves?” “A name? We already have a name, right? The Provincial Breeding Farm.” “We can’t use the name of the province; that’s just a designation, and we’ve only ever been known as a breeding farm. Not having a name wasn’t a problem during the construction phase, but it’s not okay now.” He thought of the foreigners who came to trade with them, who had to use a placeholder since the breeding farm had no official name. This kind of situation couldn’t continue; it was just too embarrassing. “So, calling it a breeding farm isn’t okay?” Zhao Guang was truly too lazy to think up a name; he was terrible at it. “Of course not. When signing documents in the future, are we supposed to go by ‘Breeding Farm’? Besides, that name wouldn’t pass review anyway.” “Alright then, since we breed the five-pig and the bread pig, how about we call it ‘Five-Pig Breeding Farm’ or ‘Bread Pig Breeding Farm’? How’s that?” Liu Jiayin immediately facepalmed at hearing those names. “You better think of a proper name. ‘Five-Pig Breeding Farm’? Isn’t that a flavor from the small days? And bread, isn’t that a foreign thing? Can’t we have a name with a Hua Country feel?” “Then let’s call it ‘Mantou Breeding Farm’; that’s authentic enough, right?” “Mantou? Why not call it ‘Rice Breeding Farm’?” “My hometown is in the North; we don’t eat much rice. Isn’t it just a name? As long as we grow and develop, who would dare to call our name ‘rustic’? I’ll out-rustic them.” “Fine, Mantou it is, then. Besides, I do enjoy eating them,” agreed Liu Jiayin. Living together in a dormitory, they all shared a bit of a goofy mindset, and they had a communal sense of aesthetics. Considering the name ‘Mantou Breeding Farm’ actually did bring a touch of excitement.
