Chapter 594 - 594 594 New Variety of Oil Tree

594: Chapter 594: New Variety of Oil Tree 594: Chapter 594: New Variety of Oil Tree Gemstones had flooded the market, and with just one phone call from Ye Zhi, the roadblocks continued.

Since the roads were already blocked, what did it matter if they extended the blockade a little longer?

Several more transports ensued, and all the gemstones were shipped away.

The warehouse for storing gemstones had always been quite large, so despite the copious amounts of gemstones, their overall volume wasn’t that exaggerated; thus, storage was still manageable.

When it came to the promotion, Zhao Guang was clueless.

However, he was not at all worried about agricultural matters.

Thinking of something, Zhao Guang called Bai Yao directly and asked him to send someone to take over the new crops.

Who would have thought that the next day, Bai Yao himself would arrive at Zhao Guang’s doorstep with his team?

But his attire now made him look nothing like the spirited young man he once was.

At first glance, one could mistake him for a rural official.

It became clear that this was an intentional change in image, which explained why it looked so familiar.

“These are all forestry experts.

What is it that you’re giving me?”

“Hold on, I’ll go get it now,” said Zhao Guang as he headed to the back, while Ye Zhi found this somewhat strange.

There didn’t seem to be anything special on the mountainside, and if it was far away, he shouldn’t be able to bring it back so quickly.

But soon enough, Ye Zhi was speechless.

Where on earth was this fellow hiding things?

Zhao Guang returned holding a bag and a small sapling, handling them with incredible roughness.

The forestry experts looked on with speechless expressions.

Didn’t this guy understand anything about planting?

With such rough treatment, it would be a wonder if the sapling survived.

“There are some more over there,” said Zhao Guang.

“You guys go and bring them here.”

“So it’s this kind of sapling?

Strange, I’ve never seen it before.

What is it?”

The two forestry experts had come along somewhat reluctantly.

After all, their status was not low, and they had many things to do every day.

To their surprise, they were assigned to a mysterious company, and on the first day, they were sent on a business trip.

However, seeing the sapling made their discontent dissipate a bit.

It seemed that this plant was indeed anything but ordinary.

They were familiar with most of the more famous crops.

But the plant in front of them was special, it looked glossy all over.

If they had ever seen or heard of it before, they would certainly recognize it.

“This is an Oil Tree that can produce oil fruit,” explained Zhao Guang.

He took a fruit from the bag and squeezed it, and a rush of oily liquid flowed out.

“This plant produces a high yield of oil, and it keeps bearing fruit, the quality of which can compare with the best pine nut oil.”

Really?

If it could compare with pine nut oil, the two scrutinized the oil, which seemed quite good.

Pine nut oil, after all, was a top-grade cooking oil with not such a high yield.

If it was true, the cooking oil market would be in for a shake-up.

Zhao Guang was very satisfied.

He had discovered the Oil Tree quite some time ago.

But the oil was so pungent it was practically useless, at best suitable for starting fires for defense.

There were many more convenient alternatives, so it garnered little attention.

After Zhao Guang obtained it, he had been improving it constantly.

With the help of the Rabbitfolk, the breeding process sped up significantly, and the improved version was completed not long ago.

Due to the climate of his lands, this Oil Tree was also quite frost-resistant.

“The Oil Tree adapts to cold climates, and it can be planted even further north, though it must be carefully controlled.”

Indeed, this treasure belonged to his nation, and they couldn’t afford to share it all.

Then Zhao Guang dropped an even more astonishing piece of information, “Moreover, through testing, I found that the oil from the Oil Tree can be refined and used as gasoline and diesel.

I don’t know about more advanced uses; that would require professional experiments.”

No way, can it really have such an effect?

Despite the trend towards new energy sources, the fuel used for airplanes, ships, and even rockets wasn’t just any ordinary fuel.

Could this really serve as a replacement?

If it could, their country’s stance in international negotiations would be much stronger.

No, it must be tested, because these are renewable resources.

If it turned out to be true, though, this matter wouldn’t be something they could keep under wraps.

The two experts exchanged glances, still somewhat incredulous, but now they had the plant in their hands.

Bai Yao’s pupils contracted slightly.

This was a significant accomplishment handed to him.

He knew how miraculous Zhao Guang could be.

Many odd items had come from him.

Although they seemed unbelievable, they somehow worked, so he believed Zhao Guang more than the experts did.

“Immediately seal and document everything comprehensively.

Do not allow any details to leak out.”

The two nodded in agreement, fully aware of the confidentiality agreements.

“Alright, then these plants are all yours,” Zhao Guang said, waving his hand, unconcerned.

This nonchalance left Bai Yao speechless.

You have the expertise, you’re mighty, alright?

Resigned, Bai Yao spoke briefly before quickly taking his leave with his entourage.

Upon their return, other experts were scheduled to join them, ensuring that outsiders wouldn’t get a chance to interact with these Oil Trees for a set period.

A new variety began to spread across the lands of the northeast.

Meanwhile, Zhao Guang was looking at some design drawings, though they weren’t the kind he understood.

“Why are you showing me these?” He didn’t understand jewelry design.

His sense of aesthetics had diverged from the norm as he had learned more and more.

To him, what others found appealing often seemed overly ornate.

“These were designed overnight by Han Xiaoyu and her team, specifically to complement the gemstones.”

“I got it.

Just let her handle it,” he responded.

“I’ve already gotten someone on it, but as a major shareholder, you must be briefed.

Soon, many gemstone products will be released, with the Blue Sapphire Necklace and Ruby Bracelet as our classic pieces.”

Zhao Guang nodded, noting that the gemstones in the drawings didn’t seem very large.

It seemed they were planning to quickly market the gemstones on a large scale; otherwise, they wouldn’t have approached it like this.

After all, the value of gemstones increased significantly with size.

Zhao Guang slapped the drawings on the table, “I trust you guys to handle this.

Go ahead with confidence.

If ever there aren’t enough gemstones, just let me know.

I may not have much else, but I have plenty of gemstones.” How could he not?

They were literally overflowing.
