Chapter 215: Chapter 137: Construction of the Factory UnderwayInside the Lord Mansion, it was extraordinarily lively at the moment. Not for any other reason, but because of the new announcement released in the territory today. The territory expressed its intention to invest in factory construction, inviting interested parties to register at the Commercial Management Office in the Lord Mansion. As soon as this news came out, Meng Chengzhou, Zhong Yongnian, and others were not immediately at the Lord Mansion waiting. For this matter, their minds were all set on it, even neglecting personally to take care of the goods brought back from Bengala Town. After all, they had all realized that if they wanted their businesses to develop better in the future, expansion was necessary. This expansion couldn’t be achieved by just one or two shops. They had already set their sights on some vacant land in the territory, but as these were properties of the territory, they had no avenue to satisfy their desire. Now, with the territory initiative announcing this, it was their chance. While thinking about this, they were also sizing each other up. After all, they had all come with the same goal in mind, not knowing whether the territory would invest in one factory or several this time. The possibility of having just one was still very great, as there would need to be an example. If so, they would become competitors. " I heard that during this trip to Bengala Town, your jerky sold exceptionally well, and you even discussed other orders?" Meng Chengzhou was the first to inquire of Zhong Yongnian, his tone laced with probing. Zhong Yongnian had gone to Bengala Town with the Village Chief and surely formed some relationships. Who knew if he would be favored in the investments? Especially since a squad he had sent out mentioned that the furniture in Bengala Town was very luxurious and exquisite, and the wooden furniture he produced catered mainly to ordinary residents because of its affordability, while most professionals remained unmoved. Though he made some money, ultimately it wasn’t as profitable as Zhong Yongnian’s big earnings. He had a feeling that in Hope Village, his woodworking took up a larger market share, but outside of Hope Village, it was still Zhong Yongnian’s gourmet specialties that were more popular. However, he wouldn’t give up. He was beginning to vaguely form some ideas. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But all that was for later. Right now, what he needed to do was secure his factory. He had one bargaining chip, and that was the paper Zhou Bai had once mentioned to him. After experimenting with various plants around him, he had found several materials suitable for making paper, and the paper produced had different levels of hardness. Zhong Yongnian, listening to Meng Chengzhou, said politely, "I did negotiate some orders, but it’s all hard-earned money, you know! My people still have to go out and hunt Demon Beasts to acquire them. With the high temperatures today, it’s tough work." While speaking, Zhong Yongnian wiped the sweat from his forehead. This sudden weather came without warning, but fortunately, it had its benefits: the loss in producing jerky would be much less! Most importantly, it could delay the steps of those Mercenary Teams from Gla Town, allowing him to produce more goods, sell more later, and invest in developing new products while trying to capture the market as much as possible. It would be difficult to produce jerky in the native territory, but it might not be so in Blue Star Territory. "Although it was a bit tough, there were gains! Not like me..." Meng Chengzhou began to say subconsciously. " I heard you’ve researched some new products? It seems they’re quite good, aren’t they?" Zhong Yongnian cut him off, continuing to speak. Don’t play the sympathy card! No one needed pity, least of all Meng Chengzhou! Both men knew exactly what the other was thinking, their eyes sparking with rivalry as they looked at each other. The people around watched the interaction, their eyes flickering. These two were like "immortals fighting"! They didn’t ask for anything else; they just hoped to scoop up some benefits from the aftermath. It was just unknown how many factories the territory would invest in this time, and whether they would have a chance. Zhong Yongnian and Meng Chengzhou both held power in the territory. If there were few spots, their chances were too great. Just then, the figures of Zhou Bai and Bayer appeared, walking into the Lord Mansion from outside. The moment Zhou Bai was seen, the place fell silent for a few seconds. As for Zhou Bai, her status within the territory was continually being reinforced. After all, aside from having an identity recognized by the territory, she was also very reliable. After coming back this time, members of her team had gained Contribution Value from the territory, more or less. And those with discerning eyes noticed that Zhou Bai, as the Village Chief and the team leader of the expedition, had gained the highest Contribution, reaching a thousand and leaving Yun Juncai’s second place with 300 Contribution far behind.
