Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Mister Quinn John, do you know how much oil this animal-powered oil press can produce in a day?"
Quinn John said, "Generally, a single machine can produce about a thousand jin of oil a day. Of course, this output can only be achieved if it is produced day and night."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "The oil output isn't low. What is the price of this oil press?"
Quinn John said, "The price isn't expensive. One hundred gold coins for one. The main function of this oil press is to extract fruit oil, and fruit oil is very cheap. If it were too expensive, no one would buy it."
Zhao Hai nodded and turned to Laura. "Miss Laura, the next time you come to pick up the magic radishes, please bring me five animal-powered oil presses. I don't know if that would be convenient?"
Laura quickly nodded and said, "It's convenient. There's no trouble. Mister can rest assured that I will certainly prepare them for you. These five machines can be considered as my gift to Mister."
Zhao smiled faintly. "Miss Laura is too polite. Now that we are allies and have a cooperative relationship, the accounts naturally need to be calculated clearly. The cost of the five oil presses will be deducted from the magic radishes. If I really need Miss Laura's help in the future, I will certainly not be polite." Zhao smiled faintly and said, "Miss Laura is too polite."
When Laura heard Zhao Hai say this, she didn't know what to say. She just nodded and said, "That's good. Mister can rest assured that in three days, the goods will be delivered on time."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and turned to Green. "Go and have them prepare a few fire fishes for Miss Laura. Consider it my gift to Miss Laura." Then he turned to Laura and said, "I see that Miss Laura seems to like fire fishes very much. There aren't many of these fishes that have grown up, so I'll give Miss Laura a few. I hope Miss Laura won't dislike them."
Laura didn't decline. A few fire fishes weren't worth much money, so if she was too polite, it would seem too hypocritical. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Mister. To be honest, I really like to eat fire fishes. This time, I'm really lucky to be able to eat them."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Right, Miss Laura, I also want to ask you something. I don't know if you have a market for blue eyed rabbits?"
Laura was surprised, but she immediately remembered that Zhao Hai had bought three hundred blue eyed rabbits some time ago. Now that he asked this question, it was obvious that he wanted to raise rabbits. However, Laura didn't have much contact with blue eyed rabbits.
Thinking of this, Laura couldn't help but frown. "We really haven't done business with blue eyed rabbits, but we do have some business dealings with meat processing factories. I can help Mister ask."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Laura. I'm going to open a breeding factory to raise animals that ordinary people can afford to eat, such as blue eyed rabbits, long haired pigs, scaleless fish, and so on. Currently, I already have breeding rabbits for blue eyed rabbits, but I still don't have seedlings for long haired pigs and scaleless fish. I'll have to ask Miss Laura to help me pay attention to this."
Laura nodded. "That won't be a problem. I'll immediately inform Mister. Since Mister wants to manage such a variety of things, it seems that our Markey Company will also need to add some projects."
In the Ark Continent, there were a lot of meat processing factories. These factories would make things like fire feet or canned food. The price of fire feet wasn't very expensive. Of course, if it was a special fire foot, only aristocrats could afford it. Canned food was generally eaten by commoners or directly supplied to the army, so there were a lot of them.
Although Laura didn't help with the meat processing business, her store had a lot of canned food and fire feet for sale. Naturally, she knew some people who worked in meat processing factories. These meat processing factories naturally needed to collect some magic beasts that could be used for meat. It wasn't enough to just collect them from commoners' homes, so they had to rely on pastures to supply them.
Ranching had always been a very profitable business. Laura had always wanted to open a ranch, but unfortunately, in the Purcell Duchy, the land that could be used to open a ranch had already been occupied by the Purcell clan, so she hadn't been able to do it.
When Zhao Hai heard Laura, he smiled and said, "That would be the best. In the future, there will be more and more products, so there will be more opportunities for us to cooperate."
Laura smiled and said, "That's for sure. Mister, I still have a question to ask. What kind of dishes did Mister invite us to eat today? Why haven't I seen them before? "
Zhao Hai knew that Laura would ask this question, so he smiled and said, "Those are some new varieties of magic vegetables that are unique to us. In other parts of the continent, you will never see them. To tell Miss Laura the truth, in addition to being a magician, I also have a strong interest in the study of various plants. Those vegetables are a combination of wild plants and vegetables that I have researched. However, the current production is still too low, so there is no way for me to cooperate with Miss Laura."
Zhao Hai was currently making money. Those vegetables from Earth were things that had never been seen before in the continent. If he were to suddenly take them out, it would be very difficult to sell them. Therefore, Zhao Hai intended to wait until his income stabilized before slowly trying to grow those vegetables.
Laura nodded, then turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, can you give me some of those vegetables? I want to go back and try them."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "That won't be a problem. Three days later, when Miss Laura sends someone to pick up the magic radishes, I will prepare those vegetables for Miss Laura."
Laura nodded. At this time, Green also came in from the door. He bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, the fire fishes have been prepared. A total of twenty of them have been frozen to keep them fresh."
Zhao Hai just nodded gently, then turned to Laura and said, "It's already late, so I won't keep Miss Laura. Three days later, if Miss Laura has something to do, you don't have to come personally."
Laura and Quinn John stood up. Laura smiled and said, "Then it's settled. Please rest assured, Mister. If Mister asks of me, Laura will definitely do it well." After she finished speaking, she bowed to Zhao Hai and walked out the door.
Zhao Hai sent Laura and the others out of Bluestone Villa's gate. Only then did he let Green and Alien take Laura and the others down the mountain. Zhao Hai then returned to the living room.
Not long after Zhao Hai entered the living room, Green came back. As soon as he entered the room, Green took off his helmet and threw it to the side. He said to Zhao Hai, "Young Master, this time Laura only asked for a few radishes. Our funds are still lacking."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, but we can't be anxious right now. The quality of our radishes is there. Later on, Laura will certainly want a lot of our radishes. I'm not that anxious. Right now, we still have more than a thousand gold coins. Grandpa Green will be going to Casa City in the near future to buy some books about the continent's flora and fauna. Secondly, he will need to issue some missions to buy exotic flowers and herbs. Thirdly, he will need to pay attention to the situation of the slave trade. In the future, if we want to develop, we will need a lot of slaves."
Green nodded, then turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, the mine in Iron Mountain has been cleaned up. Do you think it's time to release the blue-eyed rabbits from the space?"
Zhao nodded. "Yes, but I want to wait until the oil presses arrive before we start raising them. That way, the blue-eyed rabbits won't have anything to eat. In the next few days, I want Grandma Merlin to go to the lake and see if there are any other spirit beasts there. If there aren't any, then we can buy some scaleless fish seedlings and throw them in."
Green nodded and said, "Then we'll wait until Laura delivers the oil presses. After we install the oil presses, I'll go to Casa City."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, we can wait a few more days. As long as we cooperate with Laura, we will have a steady stream of income. Although our current income isn't high, it's enough for us to use. We still don't want to be too flamboyant."
Green nodded, his eyes sparkling as he said, "As long as the fruit oil is produced and the ranch can produce, our income will certainly increase. At that time, we can buy more slaves and slowly develop."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Yes, we can't be too anxious right now. If we are too anxious, it'll be easy to reveal flaws. When the time comes, the trouble will be even bigger. In fact, our biggest problem right now isn't how to develop, but the Carrion Swamp. The magic beasts there have always been a sore point for me. If we don't solve the problem there, then our development won't be good. Now, I only hope that Drunk can make progress."
After listening to Zhao Hai, Green didn't speak. He also knew that what Zhao Hai said was right. If the problem in the Carrion Swamp wasn't solved, then their Ranch and Farm would just be empty words. Otherwise, once the magic beasts in the Carrion Swamp rioted, everything would be destroyed.
Although Zhao Hai could take those things into the Space, it wasn't a long-term solution. In the future, if their creatures were to grow, then relying on the Space alone wouldn't be enough. The Space Ranch could only raise one thousand animals at a time. However, if they raised a lot of animals, then it might not be enough. The same was true for the Farm. The Farm only had ten acres of land. If it was only radishes, then it would be very easy to supply. The oil fruits wouldn't be a problem, but if other crops were added, then it would be very troublesome.
Therefore, in the future, their development focus would still be on the outside. This way, the problem of the Carrion Swamp would have to be solved. With such a threat, it would be very difficult for Zhao Hai to develop.
