Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 320 Scratch-Off

Zheng Tao counted the ash-absorbing fruits on the trees one by one and made an estimate based on this.

"The first tree produced 241 fruits. Even with this number, eight Pan trees have been planted so far, so a total of 8 fruits can be produced in one cycle, which takes two months."

"And considering that these twisted trees will further expand the tree canopy, the amount of fruit produced will continue to grow with each round. In the future, it will be a local specialty of ours, a unique delicacy that cannot be obtained anywhere else!"

The Minister of Agriculture was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling: "This kind of fruit that only we have can be sold at a good price. Rich people can afford it and are willing to spend money on fashionable and expensive food to show off themselves and entertain the rich and powerful."

“The price is too low for them to appreciate.”

"But we need to do some packaging so it will be easier to sell."

First of all, the name, the ash-absorbing fruit needs to be changed.

Zheng Tao suggested: "Chairman, how about calling it Dead Sea Fruit?"

"The name alone tells us that the fruit was grown in the Dead Sea, and it reminds us of the mysterious and powerful power of the Dead Sea."

Zhou Yi agreed: "Old Zheng, you are better at naming than I am."

"Hahaha, you're too kind."

Then comes the packaging.

High-end gourmet food will have a full set of rhetoric, such as how difficult and unique the origin is, how the best water and quality environment are selected, and how complex the process is and how carefully it is cared for.

But Dead Sea fruit is not needed.

Zhou Yi said: "Just use its own story. This is a fruit that drifted from another civilization. Our company took great pains to obtain it and then planted it. It has the flavor of another world."

Zheng Tao frowned and thought for a while: "Chairman, there is no problem with this introduction, but it is not a gimmick enough. Since it is a fruit from another world, why not be bolder and say that it has incredible magic power. After eating it, you can be strong and healthy and resist many diseases."

Zhou Yi looked at the mud grid next to him.

This giant, who is two meters and three meters tall, grew up eating this thing.

High protein, good taste and rich nutrition.

This is not false advertising.

"Then let's do it."

half a month later.

The Wasteland Development Company's new product [Dead Sea Fruit] began to quietly flow into the market.

Each of these fruits from another world is carefully packed in an exquisite wooden box filled with soft sawdust. There are dried flowers in the box to maintain the fragrance, and the box is also equipped with a small hammer and shell cracker specifically for opening the fruit.

But the price is not cheap, each one is priced at 1 light seed.

Zhou Yi was a little nervous at first.

At this price, potential buyers are basically enhancers or light nano species.

Even if a businessman is asked to spend 100 million mushrooms to buy a fruit with unknown details, he probably wouldn't be willing to do so.

But the result surprised him. As soon as the news of the company's sale of 30 Dead Sea Fruits came out, they were sold out in an instant.

Zhou Yi was puzzled: "The problem is, no one has ever tried this thing, so why are they willing to pay this price for it?"

Zheng Tao said with a smile: "Chairman, if it were sold by other merchants, most people would probably wait and see. But this is something produced by our wasteland development company."

"Emerald Soup, Goblet of Fire, Mushroom House, Refrigeration Box, and even the most popular glider, have proven time and again the credibility and ingenuity of our company."

"And you."

"Chairman, you are the golden signboard of our company. You can defeat the Governor of Heaven and fight against the mechanical and electrical city cluster. Your name is now known to everyone."

Only then did Zhou Yi come back to his senses.

The company is no longer that little-known startup.

Even though it was sanctioned by the Mechanical and Electrical City, the company's reputation remains good thanks to the continuous release of new products, which are still of good quality and low price as always. The sanctions can even be considered a disguised publicity.

After all, there is still something worth showing off.

Zheng Tao said: "Chairman, then can the second and third batches also start?"

“Sell it.”

Zhou Yi nodded: "But who are our buyers?"

"All groups have them. The Kingdom of Heaven bought 3, the Mie Ding Gong bought 2, the United City bought 2, the Alchemist Association bought 2, the Tianjin Knights bought 2... Many old customers who had cooperated with us before were very interested, including the rebels and the Night God Church who also wanted to buy, but they will have to wait for the next round."

Zheng Tao said confidently: "The various organizations will first help us with publicity in disguise, and then the main buyers will probably be businessmen. They will help us raise the price and further package more stories to ensure that they can get more profits when they resell it."

"Dead Sea fruit is controlled by the company, so the quantity circulating on the market is limited. After the initial wave of novelty, people will gradually regain their sense of reason. At that time, it will be more like a symbol of expensive gifts, used in banquets, gifts and other occasions."

He judged: "Rich people don't care about such expenses."

Zhou Yi thought about it and agreed, then gave full authority for external sales to Zheng Tao.

……

Zhou Yi is very busy this fall.

While keeping an eye on the Pan Tree and the Dead Sea Fruit, he was also comforting the lost Mud Tree Man and telling him about the situation in this world.

The only person who could talk to him was Zhou Yi, and the translation machine did not have the language and writing system of the Mud Tree People.

In addition, Zhou Yi also needs to continue to pay attention to the latest situation of the glider.

He was now somewhat thankful that he had signed an outsourcing agreement with Motorcycle City for manufacturing. The manufacturing capacity of the Sand Harbor area alone could not meet the huge demand for gliders from the outside world.

In addition to giving priority to meeting the needs of the four cities in the Development League.

Following the Shuanghe area, Heaven’s logistics department directly ordered 1500 single-person gliders and 240 manned gliders.

This news was told to Zhou Yi by Miedinggong, and it was recommended to the Kingdom of Heaven.

"It's just a small thing, no need to thank me. Your gliders are indeed very useful. The Heavenly Kingdom has a vast territory, and they need such cheap and convenient flying vehicles. The annual budget of the Logistics Department has to be spent anyway, and purchasing this batch of vehicles will satisfy everyone."

Several regions adjacent to the Development League have also placed orders.

Glass Castle ordered 600 aircraft, Cotton and Linen Land reserved 800 aircraft, and Fanyun City also paid to reserve 200 aircraft, bringing the total to 1600 aircraft.

There is also an Enhancer Organization that wants to follow suit and buy it, and the latest order delivery time has been postponed to five years later.

The workers were busy day and night.

Fortunately, the more gliders they sell, the higher their income, so they are all very motivated.

On weekends, they almost all volunteer to work overtime in order to get double pay.

All Zhou Yi could do was to ask Yuan Tong to ensure that the glider workers had enough to eat and to do the logistics work. Every meal would be either chicken or fish, which would boost morale to some extent.

At the same time, the external situation has also undergone new changes.

Hong Xun immediately reminded: "Zhou, the sanctions from the Mechanical and Electrical City have been upgraded."

Zhou Yi slid his finger across the tablet and found a striking announcement on the Spring and Autumn Merchants Group page.

——Based on the escalating threat posed by the terrorist organization Electro-Mechanical Knights, we have increased further control over the organization to ensure that order is not disrupted and the city is not disturbed or damaged...

——The core cooperative cities of the Mechanical and Electrical City are not allowed to engage in any form of cooperation with the sanctioned organizations or groups, otherwise we will terminate the core cooperation agreement and pursue related losses and responsibilities.

——Added “Estria”, “Bison County”, and “Ice Island” as sanctioned units.

……

These are the main three.

The scope of the crackdown was further expanded, forcing the mechanical and electrical city's partner units to take sides.

However, this has no impact on Wasteland Company.

Because the so-called core cooperative cities are basically medium and large cities.

The goods exported by Emerald City can be purchased even by ordinary towns. In other words, those inconspicuous small cities and towns are the most solid supporters and buyers of the Wasteland Development Company.

Zhou Yi contacted Lord Mieding and asked, "Is there no impact on the Kingdom of Heaven?"

"What's the impact?"

Mieding Gong said: "The Mechanical and Electrical City cannot punish a group stronger than it."

This is a very confident statement.

Two days later, Zheng Tao suddenly came to the door in a hurry: "Chairman, something happened to the Dead Sea Fruit."

His face looked ugly.

Zhou Yi's heart skipped a beat: "Dead Sea Fruit, can it kill someone?"

"Huh? No."

Zheng Tao was stunned for a moment: "Dead Sea Fruit itself is not poisonous and will not kill people. This time the accident happened because someone ate the Dead Sea Fruit... and gained the ability of an enhancer."

Holy shit! !
The fruit of the Pan tree can actually transform into an Enhancer? ? ?
This time it was Zhou Yi who exclaimed: "What's going on? Is this true?"

"conclusive."

Zheng Tao said bitterly, "The buyer was an alchemist. He bought the Dead Sea fruit and gave it to his fiancée as a gift. After eating it, his fiancée became so light that she could jump onto the roof without falling. This is basically the characteristic of "body control."

"I'm guilty."

"I didn't expect the Dead Sea Fruit itself might have magical powers. It's a big loss to sell it like this. Now that the news has spread, all parties are frantically rushing to buy our Dead Sea Fruit..."

Zhou Yi immediately took him to find the mud tree man on the winding tree.

"This."

Nige, who was chewing a sweet potato, said, "Chairman, this is normal. Although the Pan tree cannot be compared with the Dingtian tree, the fruits it produces will also have mutant fruits."

"Some fruits may contain more magical powers. However, because they are not completely mutated, you can't see it from the outside. You have to eat it to know. The probability is very small."

"But don't worry, this is only temporary."

"Because the Ash-Absorbing Fruit... oh no, the Dead Sea Fruit itself has limited energy, just like eating. After a meal, when you are hungry for the next meal, the previous meal is useless. It can only last for a short time and the intensity is very low. It won't harm you."

Nig said: "The Dingtian tree is much stronger. Common sense bananas and blackthorns are all cultivated from the Dingtian tree."

Minister of Agriculture Zheng Tao was a little disappointed: "It turns out it's only temporary... But it's okay. If it's a permanent increase in capacity out of thin air, I'm afraid we will be in chaos here, and it will become a place for all parties to fight and attack."

He quickly adjusted his mood and suddenly smiled: "This is a good thing for the company. Because at present, no one knows which fruit contains power and which fruit is just ordinary food."

Zhou Yi also understood what he meant.

Dead Sea Fruit has a blind box attribute.

This inherent scratch-off feature will definitely make it more popular!
