Chapter 849: Chapter 832: Adding Supplements to Dog Food

“That, what does that bone powder mean? We used Peruvian fishmeal in our Yellow powder before! Are you sure about these effects now?”

Bone powder is enough for dog food, but for fish bait, it definitely falls short. However, Yue Feng wasn’t aiming to make fish bait, so he deliberately misled, “No worries, I’ve had someone test it. This way, the protein cost is much lower! During production, just add flavoring to mask the taste, reducing costs, and slightly increasing the profit margins! Besides, haven’t we also added meat powder! Adding it all up, it’s almost the same cost as the previous formula but with better effects!”

With this, the logic held together quite well, and Zhang Yunzhou couldn’t help but nod after pondering for a while. After all, Yue Feng’s theory sounded quite convincing and feasible.

“So, what about those previous finished products, do we still continue their production?” Zhang Yunzhou continued to ask.

Yue Feng shook his head, “First, use the stock materials to make a batch of Yellow powder, try to push it out as much as possible before the end of the year. For this line, prepare semi-finished granules first!”

“Alright!”

Yue Feng personally assigned the production task, and the factory quickly got into operation.

Zhang Yunzhou observed for a week until the production line stabilized, then he sent the new intelligence to Sleeping Beauty’s Bao Butong again.

Sleeping Beauty also had its own production workshop. Upon receiving the new intelligence from Zhang Yunzhou, they immediately followed up.

However, in the production at Old Bao’s side, the workers, for convenience, did not follow Yue Feng’s production of bait. Instead, they added different flavoring additives during the pelletizing phase, all in one go.

This subtle difference caused Old Bao trouble in the spring, but that’s a story for later.

A week later, Qiangzi’s secret investigation revealed that Zhang Yunzhou had indeed bribed night shift workers to secretly swap the ingredients of the Yellow Paste Companion.

Moreover, from his call records, there was even more to uncover. Besides local friends, he secretly made regular calls to several numbers in Magic City.

Qiangzi pre-paid one yuan to check the name of the phone owner, quickly leading to a significant discovery. One of the lengthy calls was with Bao Butong, the CEO of Sleeping Beauty.

Meanwhile, Liu Fengnian also inquired through friends in the circle. Due to the government’s environmental demands, fish bait manufacturers were struggling, and few could afford to expand production. Yet, Sleeping Beauty had just set up a production line, reportedly with the most advanced tech.

After piecing these insights together, the answer became apparent. The buyer behind Zhang Yunzhou was none other than Bao Butong from Sleeping Beauty!!

Once the truth was clear, Yue Feng and the other executives did not alert the enemy but acted as if they had completely forgotten about it, continuing normal operations.

The storeroom was increasingly filled with unbranded semi-finished dog food, stacking up high.

On the Sleeping Beauty side, owing to their substantial capital and numerous offline distributors, their pre-produced inventory was even more exaggerated.

The new production line ran 24/7, and the pre-produced dog food with flavor additives filled up their warehouse. By the year’s end, a rough inventory showed that the raw materials for just these new semi-finished products exceeded five million in value, gearing up to launch in spring, bloom nationwide, and make a fortune.

With the Siberian cold front approaching, the weather in W City turned colder, and before anyone knew it, the year-end was near—another fulfilling year.

The post-production of the ‘Sixty-Day Survival Challenge in the Wilderness’ TV show was completed, airing as scheduled on the central broadcaster’s channel.

As the first domestic survival challenge documentary series, upon airing, it stirred a huge reaction. Yue Feng was already a familiar face on the central channel, and his prominent involvement this time grabbed extensive attention.

Originally just a celebrity in the fishing circle, Yue Feng started breaking out after this show. His streaming platform followers surged to 15 million, and daily he received numerous inquiries about when the next season’s challenge stream would start.

With these achievements, Yue Feng had become much more mature than before. During the idle winter, he joined club members for winter fishing in tents, and when things were busy, he attended various social events, expanding his influence and social network.

Before the year-end, he took his child to stay in Magic City for a few days. His father-in-law and mother-in-law grew visibly fonder of their wealthy son-in-law. As the small New Year approached, Yue Feng returned home, officially entering the busy New Year mode.

Local leaders needed visits, and family and friends needed to be connected with. The company also concluded its tasks and released employees for holidays, leaving Yue Feng with free time.

From the 23rd of the lunar twelfth month to the 7th of the lunar New Year, a new year passed in busyness.

On the 8th of the lunar New Year, the company officially resumed work, and the fish bait factory also started formal production.

After the 15th, several large semi-trailer trucks came into the Yuefeng Fishing Tackle factory.

Hearing the commotion, Zhang Yunzhou, in his office, was slightly puzzled, “Over ten meters of semi-trailer, for what?”

He inquired in the courtyard, and Qiangzi grinned and said, “Hauling goods, huh? Afraid of no business last winter, Brother Feng got some dog food processing work from a friend. Now that spring’s here, they’re here to pick up the goods!”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunzhou felt a buzzing in his head, leaving him utterly confused!

When the bones and meat powder materials came in, Zhang Yunzhou vaguely suspected something. The basic extruded granules, with their faint meat aroma, indeed closely resembled dog food.

However, since the workshop operated normally 24/7 and Yue Feng’s explanation seemed reasonable, Zhang Yunzhou didn’t think too deeply.

Now, the explanation from Qiangzi blatantly opposed Yue Feng’s original statement!

Zhang Yunzhou swallowed, “Dog… dog food? Wasn’t it agreed they were making semi-finished extruded granules for Yellow Storm? I even saw the flavor additives brought in, bought quite a few back then!”

“Huh? I don’t know; perhaps Brother Feng was joking with you! Why bother so much? Let’s just do as we’re told! The deeper affairs are for the company leaders to handle!” Qiangzi chuckled, lighting a cigarette, genuinely pleased to see Zhang Yunzhou’s uncertain face.

For the next half day, Zhang Yunzhou felt uncomfortable. The big trucks came one after another, clearing out the entire dog food inventory within half a day, leaving the once-filled warehouse empty.

Making fish bait and dog food should not be confused. If Bao continued production based on the intelligence he provided, a batch of weird dog food with fruit acid and black sugar flavors would emerge, which would indeed be amusing!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunzhou shivered as he pulled out his phone to call Bao Butong again.

“Hello, Mr. Bao, during the production of the extruded feed on our new production line, did we add any flavoring?”
