Chapter 214: The Company
Regarding the Boneless Wild Pig Broth...
Lu Wu had uploaded the initial version of the recipe online.
In his pursuit of maximizing profits, Lu Wu had prepared a total of 13 variations of the broth.
Although it seemed like an attempt at version fragmentation, Lu Wu's research on the Boneless Wild Pig Broth was beyond what others could imagine.
The Northern Jiang side could never have imagined that Lu Wu would be able to solve the problem of the Boneless Wild Pig Broth.
After all, in the past three days, the Northern Jiang side had already mobilized all their available resources to study the Boneless Wild Pig Broth, hoping to resolve the issue at its root.
But the conclusion they reached was cruel.
Any Boneless Wild Pigs that had been raised using Ironclad Cow Milk as a material would be unable to evolve into Ironbone Boars.
There were only two ways to solve this problem.
Either spend a large sum to remove the influence of Ironclad Cow Milk on the Boneless Wild Pigs, or find an alternative evolution path.
Both solutions seemed far-fetched.
The Northern Jiang side was utterly hopeless, believing that the Boneless Wild Pig Broth plan was completely doomed.
No one could salvage this plan.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent the Iron Armor Cattle Herd to Lu Wu.
They even thought their move was brilliant, getting rid of the problematic cattle and dealing with Lu Wu and the victims at the same time.
Lu Wu also thought their move was quite clever.
If not for the fact that the Northern Jiang people weren't around, Lu Wu would have kissed Master Zhou Kai.
What a good man!
Lu Wu immediately called Li Kai over.
"Quick, quick, quick! Arrange a ranch for me right away! Oh, and isn't there a valley nearby? Get that valley under contract for me!"
After giving the instructions, Lu Wu felt uneasy.
"No, no, wait a moment. We can't appear too eager; what if the Northern Jiang side takes back the cattle? Uncle Li, you prepare first, and we'll start once the cattle arrive."
After giving orders to Li Kai, Lu Wu called Jiang Yuxing and addressed her as 'mom' in the sweetest tone possible.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yuxing had already caught on to Lu Wu's tactics, knowing that his overly sweet tone meant he needed something.
"I want you to help me receive a batch of cattle, and I need you to allocate some land for me. I plan to raise this herd."
Jiang Yuxing clearly understood what Lu Wu wanted and the purpose of his call.
"You can solve the Boneless Wild Pig Broth problem!"
Lu Wu nodded in agreement, even removing the 'ma' sound from his speech, showing his confidence.
"Mhm, and I plan to establish a Summoning Beast Company. Our primary business will be the Boneless Wild Pig Broth. Mom, do you want to invest? I'll give you shares!"
Lu Wu acted cute, hoping to charm his way through.
Unfortunately, he didn't succeed, as Jiang Yuxing asked the crucial question.
"How many shares? And how much do I need to invest?"
Lu Wu was momentarily speechless, and Jiang Yuxing pouted, knowing that Lu Wu was trying to sweet-talk without offering any real benefits.
Just like a certain someone, a scoundrel!
"Fine, fine, your little scheme doesn't interest me. I'll have someone handle these matters for you."
After saying this, Jiang Yuxing hung up the phone.
Her tone was calm, but Lu Wu felt like his rich lady was slightly irritated.
However, it was good that the rich lady didn't ask for money; it saved him a fortune!
"If the rich lady is stingy with me, I can be a little stingy with her, right?
Hmm? It should be fine!"
Although Lu Wu said this, when he established the company, he still gave the rich lady a 20% dividend-only share.
After all, the rich lady was a bit stingy, but she had been good to him.
During their last dungeon run, she even gave him a damage-sharing ring. It was only right to treat her well.
On the rich lady's side, Jiang Yuxing saw that she had a 20% stake in Lu Wu's company, becoming the second-largest shareholder after him, and she was quite pleased.
But her happiness didn't last long.
She soon discovered that there were other shareholders besides her: Lu Haikong, Pang Dudu, and Li Ruyu.
Jiang Yuxing's gaze fell on the last name, and all her dissatisfaction turned into a cold snort.
Although Jiang Yuxing was unhappy, she didn't hold it against Lu Wu.
All the necessary tasks were completed, and Lu Wu obtained the approval for the land from the local authorities. The company was also set up with the help of others, and even staff was sent to assist Lu Wu in establishing the company's framework. They also helped him set up his ranch.
The most significant effort was put into the acquisition of cattle.
Jiang Yuesheng not only sent people to receive this batch of cattle but also purchased an additional batch.
Currently, the Boneless Wild Pig Broth project was cooling down, and many speculators who had invested previously were now stuck with the cattle, just like Lin Huai.
Jiang Yuesheng took advantage of this situation and easily acquired the cattle at a low price.
During the peak, the price of a single mother cow reached 900 points, but now they could be obtained for just 200 points.
Lin Huai's batch was purchased at the peak, totaling 3500 cows, and Jiang Yuesheng managed to round it up to 5000 for Lu Wu.
This move practically swept up all the available cattle in the market.
The woman in white shook her head upon seeing this.
It was clear that the governor was acting out of spite, refusing the free shares and instead spending 300,000 points.
In the optimized version, this was a clear miscalculation!
However, these 300,000 points were Jiang Yuesheng's personal funds, and she couldn't say much about the Southern Jiang finances.
"She's been bullied badly by that person, and these 300,000 points are probably her last savings. She's using her remaining assets to act out of spite, and her future days will likely be tight."
Lu Wu was unaware of the Rich Lady's spiteful actions.
However, when Lu Wu discovered that he had received an additional 1500 cattle, he decided to increase the Rich Lady's shares by 10%.
But to Lu Wu's surprise, the Rich Lady refused!
Not only did she refuse, but she also reduced her shares by 10%.
Lu Wu was perplexed by the Rich Lady's behavior but dared not ask why.
He knew that pursuing this matter further would only lead to trouble.
So, Lu Wu had no choice but to set this issue aside temporarily and focus on handling the company's affairs.
There was much to be done to get the company up and running.
Fortunately, the Rich Lady's people were there to help, and they assisted Lu Wu in establishing the company's framework. Lu Wu's task was to appoint the company's leadership team.
Lu Wu didn't have many people at his disposal, so he utilized everyone he could, including Li Kai, Wang Dasha, and a few students, to build the company's structure.
After dealing with the company, it was time to focus on the ranch.
This aspect required minimal effort from Lu Wu, as the Rich Lady had everything well-organized.
A vast ranch was established in the suburbs of Fucheng, and professional breeders were hired to take care of the cattle.
Lu Wu didn't need to exert much effort.
However, when the cattle gradually arrived, Lu Wu personally visited the ranch to inspect his 5000 cows.
Gazing upon the vast ranch, Lu Wu felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Yes, this is my empire!
These are my cattle and horses!"
Meanwhile, as Lu Wu indulged in his fantasies, Zhou Kai in Northern Jiang sensed that something was amiss.
First, the Southern Jiang had sent people from Zhennan Tower to receive the cattle as soon as they entered Southern Jiang territory, and now someone was buying up cattle on a large scale in the market.
"Something feels off about this situation. Could it be that Southern Jiang has found a solution to the Boneless Wild Pig Broth issue?"
Zhou Kai shuddered at the thought.
"No, no, no, it's impossible!"
Zhou Kai couldn't bring himself to believe it. If his suspicions were correct, he would be in deep trouble.
"It must be that Southern Jiang wants to develop the Ironclad Ox industry. Yes, that must be it!
It can't be that Lu Wu has found a solution to the Boneless Wild Pig Broth problem!"
At this point, Zhou Kai had no other options. He could only hope that things would turn out as he wished.
If he failed in this matter, he might not only lose his chance at the position but also face his own downfall.
However, reality is not subject to one's will.
What was destined to happen would occur, no matter how much Zhou Kai prayed or denied it.
...
I've been losing hair these past few days; is it because I've been typing too much and going bald? Sigh, even in my pitiful state, you guys won't give me some encouraging subscriptions?
