Chapter 1076: Chapter 1076: You’ll Get Used to It

Teacher Mei originally intended to reject the student’s suggestion, but the mention of the "second-ranking person" left her somewhat tempted.

She possessed the temperament of a salted fish, but that didn’t mean she was willing to concede defeat. While her spatial ability was irreplaceable in Luohua Manor for the time being, who would complain about having too much ability?

The crucial point was that Zhang Caixin would sooner or later advance to the Qi Refinement Realm, and with Sister Hong showing signs of becoming the manor’s second-in-command, Director Mei was not content to fall behind. Why not celebrate becoming the "second-ranking in cultivation level"?

Hosting a celebration in a scenic spot naturally meant not being stingy, so she brought out some of the game from the Danxia Heaven Minor World.

Her share of the game was not much, but she had few people to gift it to, only an elderly mother to whom she needed to pay most attention, followed by two close girlfriends and a couple of mentors with whom she got along well.

Furthermore, she was quite prudent in her actions, informing her girlfriends and mentors directly that these were precious items obtained through great difficulty and were unlikely to come by a second time—if they liked it, they shouldn’t ask her for more.

Therefore, she actually had quite a stockpile, originally saved for her mother to enjoy gradually, but she figured there was no harm in using some now.

Then... Elder Yu and his group were once again stimulated; besides good rice, did the manor also have quality meat?

As for the expensive gifts from others, the Yu Family didn’t really take them seriously.

Perhaps feeling completely helpless against Feng Jun, after Elder Yu returned to his room, he asked his secretary, "Have the electronic product orders placed by Little Bamboo started production yet?"

The secretary had been keeping an eye on this matter and promptly responded upon hearing the question, "Production has started; she contacted manufacturers of four brands... She does have a sense of business competition."

In the past, Elder Yu would have loved to hear praises of his younger family members, but now his attention was not on that at all. "Arrange to install satellite trackers in some of the electronics," he instructed.

Trackers... The secretary nodded upon hearing this, "Alright, should I inform Qingzhu about this?"

"No need," Elder Yu decisively stated, "No need to inform anyone in the family!"

The secretary silently nodded and then left the room.

A day later, he received news that large quantities of grain were starting to be shipped to Luohua.

The storage facility kept grain, with wheat stored in granular form—as milling into flour would significantly reduce the storage period.

Feng Jun felt there was no need to find a flour mill on Earth Realm to process it into flour. After all, the Chaos Plane presumably lacked neither the technology to mill wheat nor the storage conditions to keep it unground.

The secretary thought this was feasible and went to consult with Elder Yu, "Should we mix some trackers into the wheat? Current trackers can be made very small and could be disguised as wheat kernels."

"Forget it," Elder Yu shook his head, "This kind of thing can be done once but not twice. Hiding it in the wheat, once discovered by the other party, would not only make future tampering difficult, but would also be very embarrassing."

By evening time, one heavy truck after another started driving into Luohua Manor. The people outside were instructed not to check these trucks anymore.

Not inspecting heavy trucks is actually very dangerous. Not to mention hiding guns, even cannons could be stowed away, and concealing assassins and explosives would be trivial. Although Feng Jun had proven himself to be reliable, the people outside... who could guarantee them?

This was the original intention of the security measures—to guard against sudden and unforeseen safety hazards. Those widely known safety issues would not be able to pass the initial checks anyway.

However, since Elder Yu had indicated that he didn’t want further incidents, they had no choice but to let them through.

In one day, almost ten thousand tons of wheat were unloaded.

Ten thousand tons may not sound like much, it equates to only about two hundred trips with fifty-ton trucks.

However, since the grain needs to be dry for storage, the bulk density of wheat is less than one kilogram per liter, which means over ten thousand cubic meters.

The area of a standard basketball court is only just over four hundred square meters. So a parcel of land the size of about five basketball courts and five meters high would be required to accommodate so much wheat.

This nearly took up half the capacity of Feng Jun’s steel-structured canopy warehouse.

Yet overnight, the entire warehouse was emptied. Feng Jun transported these goods to the Mobile Phone Realm, running over twenty trips throughout the night.

Tiring, truly exhausting, but there was no choice as his largest Storage Bag was only five hundred cubic meters.

Elder Yu was also drawn by this substantial purchase. After breakfast the next day, instead of hurrying to the Bamboo Forest, he chose a hilltop to overlook the warehouse.

Then, he discovered that in just one night, the warehouse had become empty again.

Shocked? Perhaps a little.

But after long dealings with Feng Jun, one would develop thicker nerves—getting used to being shocked was just part of the process.

He merely asked himself in secret: How long would I uphold this "disbelief in supernatural forces" FLAG?

But in the next moment, he reinforced his conviction: What is a FLAG? It’s a banner, after all.

This relates to the question of how long the flag can be flown, he can’t possibly become a deserter, and even less likely to change his tune.

Then, on this day, another ten thousand tons of food were brought in.

Elder Yu is someone who cares a lot about people’s livelihood. He also found out where Feng Jun’s purchased food was coming from. If it were anyone else doing this, he would’ve directly rushed over and grabbed the person by the neck to ask: Where did you take the reserve food of Funiu Province?

But at this moment, the actions of Feng Jun weren’t something he could just charge over and question—not that he could do anything even if he got an explanation.

What could he do, to say that Feng Jun used the "Five Ghosts Transport Technique" to move the food away? That would be too embarrassing.

The FLAG must not change color, it must remain steadfast!

That night, another ten thousand tons of food disappeared.

Elder Yu felt numb, but why... does it still feel so tiring?

To bring a hundred thousand tons of food into Luohua took only seven days, and they also vanished in just seven days.

Sister Hong had originally intended to cover this expense on her own, but after knowing that Feng Jun made another five billion, she didn’t bother to be polite with him—Only she and Feng Jing from Luohua knew that what Elder Feng was doing involved cross-dimensional trade.

If such trade doesn’t make money, what kind of trade could?

Sister Hong had never done cross-dimensional business, but she understood smuggling very well. It’s very lucrative even just between countries, let alone cross-dimensional.

Elder Yu watched with an itching heart; he knew that it was because he helped the other party sell fifty tons of graphene that the financial situation of Luohua had greatly improved, otherwise, he might have grasped the opportunity to take advantage of them.

But is it too late for regrets now? Impossible, the second batch of customers is already on their way.

This graphene is really incredible; several companies have already tried to apply it in production and achieved astonishing results.

—In fact, in such a short period of just over ten days, it’s not enough time for proper experimentation. Mature industrial products require a rigorous verification process and trial period. How can it be hastily concluded?

However, domestic manufacturers were caught by the high price of graphene. If they had access to relatively cheaper graphene earlier, they would have started trial production long ago. So even if they can’t afford it, they have done quite a bit of preliminary verification work.

Once the raw materials were in hand, they were applied in a very short time.

After the application, related inferences were validated, and they were able to make a judgment in an extremely short time—if the quality of graphene is really at this price point, just keep on buying.

The first batch of fifty tons has already sold out—actually, many people are hoarding it in speculation. Those factories with real demand are already inquiring when the second batch of this quality product will be put into the market.

This is a true market need! Elder Yu is acutely aware of this, and he is the one who pays the most attention to the national interest, so he couldn’t possibly block this.

He even had to ask Feng Jun, "When can graphene be supplied next time? Didn’t you say you could guarantee a hundred tons a month?"

"Too much is as bad as too little," Feng Jun replied with a smile, his mind already pushed this matter aside. One must help in moderation, and it seems that the Huaxia market simply can’t digest the monthly quota.

Therefore, he is not particularly enthusiastic about this anymore; what he cares more about is the lithium battery talks with Zhang Caixin.

However, the procurement of lithium batteries turned out to be more troublesome than he had imagined. Xiao Caixin didn’t talk for long before she realized she wholly couldn’t adapt to the logic—this stuff turns out to be a controlled material?

That’s indeed correct, lithium batteries are almost found in everyone’s mobile phone or laptop, electric vehicle; we take it for granted, but in fact, its metal reactivity is just too high, it can really explode.

Issues at the government policy level are not Zhang Caixin’s forte—You actually want to know where I use my lithium batteries? Therefore, she followed her sister’s advice and sought Wang Haifeng’s help.

Wang Haifeng didn’t have any good solutions either, he was much more aware of the business risks than Zhang Caixin, "If it doesn’t work, we just go through a bidding process, there will probably be a few who are not afraid to die."

There are indeed those who are not afraid to die, but the prices they quoted are also... the kind not afraid of getting killed for.

Then Elder Yu found his way here again, "Xiao Feng, if you have any trouble, you can come to me. Lithium batteries are a very sensitive resource, mainly because it’s controlled... what do you need them for?"

To tell the truth, Feng Jun really admires the old man for this, at the advanced age of ninety-nine, he doesn’t think about living one day at a time but can still care so much about everything else; this is true love.

Feng Jun is ashamed to deceive him, doing so would make him feel guilty, "I’m just buying some batteries; if our country really investigates like this, can I just not buy them?"

"What to do if you don’t buy them?" Elder Yu looked at him thoughtfully, "Can you really manage without them?"

Feng Jun smiled dismissively, "Then I’ll go abroad to buy them. I want to support national products, but if this is the attitude of our national products... isn’t that forcing me to buy foreign goods?"

"You go abroad to buy?" Elder Yu smiled with disbelief, thinking to himself that if it weren’t for the state blocking those foreign enterprises, domestic companies wouldn’t stand a chance in the lithium battery industry, "Are you sure you can get through Customs?"

(Updated up to this point, calling for monthly tickets.)
