Chapter Summary
Moreover, even if these people wanted to help, they probably wouldn't be able to do much. Liu Ning used a 5-meter-long stick to stir them, and if he didn't have enough strength, he probably wouldn't be able to stir them properly. Without Zhou Tao's low price, Liu Ning wouldn't have been able to reduce the cost of this medicine to 350,000 yuan per kilogram.
Moreover, even if these people wanted to help, they probably wouldn't be able to do much. After pouring these things into the iron can, he had to stir them. Liu Ning used a 5-meter-long stick to stir them, and if he didn't have enough strength, he probably wouldn't be able to stir them properly.
While stirring the ingredients, Liu Ning was calculating the costs. He had prepared all the ingredients himself, which was the cheapest option. Even so, the cost per kilogram was over 350,000 yuan. However, Liu Ning had already observed that this stuff was indeed very useful for these human puppets. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
According to the book, there is a six-month cycle, and after six months their abilities can increase by more than 40%. For puppets, this speed may not be the fastest, but if they were converted into humans, this speed would be quite fast.
Although the cost was quite high, it was nothing to Liu Ning, who had just won a sum of money from the casino. Moreover, the stronger the six puppets were, the better Liu Ning could survive, so this money was not something he could skimp on.
After completing the first one, Liu Ning obediently stopped. The main reason was that he didn't have enough crystal core potions. If he had enough, he could have filled all the iron cans. He had already asked Zhou Tao for help to get some crystal core potions from him. Buying them from the online store was too troublesome. First, the price was relatively high, and second, there was a daily limit, which was something Liu Ning hated the most.
As for crystal core agents, Zhou Tao's side has plenty of them; the factory can mass-produce them, and the profit margin isn't much. However, Liu Ning's demand is quite large, so it's still very profitable for Zhou Tao.
Without Zhou Tao's low price, Liu Ning wouldn't have been able to reduce the cost of this medicine to 350,000 yuan per kilogram. If purchased online, the price per kilogram might reach 400,000 yuan. Don't underestimate this 50,000 yuan; these six puppets consume 1,800 kilograms every day, which means Zhou Tao saved Liu Ning 90 million yuan every day. Over time, that's no small amount.
Of course, Zhou Tao's side is not losing money either. At this price, Zhou Tao can still make a profit. After all, customers like Liu Ning are quite large. He ordered 70 tons at once, and he needs 70 tons every month. Customers like this are not easy to find.
As instructed by Liu Ning, Zhou Tao was not to come over himself. In the middle of the night, these people finally delivered the goods. After all, Zhou Tao was their general manager. If Zhou Tao frequently delivered goods, it might attract a lot of attention. It was better for the people below to handle it.
Zhou Tao had already given instructions to the team leader, so Liu Ning didn't have to lift a finger. Liu Ning simply gave them a general overview, and they put the crystal core potion into jars. Liu Ning took care of the rest. He gave them 20,000 yuan for tea, and they left happily.
By the time dawn was breaking, Liu Ning had finished his work. All the large tanks were filled with the medicine, which had cost him over 20 billion yuan in total, but it was worth it.
Liu Ning is very grateful for the automation equipment in this society. Without these automation devices, Liu Ning would probably have to keep an eye on things here all the time. Now these six puppets have started to absorb the data, and the data of their absorption can be seen from the system. Liu Ning is happier than if his own strength had increased.
Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Ning didn't go home to sleep. Instead, he found a place to sleep in his cultivation room, since there were plenty of beds available. He was woken up by his smart device the next day. When he woke up, it was already past 10 a.m. The call request was from Zhu Tianhua. Liu Ning didn't know what this guy wanted to do.
"You're quite the insider. I just bought the Silver City Building at the casino, and you're already planning to buy it. Just how much money do you have? I really didn't realize you were so financially powerful."
Zhu Tianhua wanted to discuss the Yindu Building and even wanted to buy it. This made Liu Ning think too highly of this guy. Although his father was the lord of the garrison, the total price of the Yindu Building was over 3 trillion yuan. Even if this guy took out a loan, he would still have to put up a 30% down payment. Based on Liu Ning's dealings with this guy, Liu Ning felt that this guy couldn't come up with that much money.
"Brother Liu is joking. Even if I had the desire, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to acquire the Yindu Building. I know my own capabilities very well. The value of the Yindu Building is simply too high. I'm just signing a letter for someone else. If Brother Liu is willing to sell, let's have dinner at the Municipal Hotel tonight?"
So that's what happened. Liu Ning also felt that this guy didn't have the ability. Although this guy was no longer the manager of the municipal hotel, he still preferred to hold banquets there, since he was more familiar with the place.
Liu Ning had done some research on the building. If they wanted to continue operating it, they would probably have to do some serious repairs. The repair costs alone would be considerable. This was one of the reasons why the Kong family sold it. If you were serious about running the business, it would be a good deal in the long run, but if you wanted to cash out, selling it now would be the best option.
Liu Ning's acquisition of the goods was indeed not very honorable, so he was eager to cash them out as soon as possible. However, he needed to consider who could take them over. After all, the Kong family was quite powerful. But since Zhu Tianhua dared to introduce clients to him, it meant that the other party was also aware of the matter. The Kong family couldn't control everything in this world, and naturally, someone would dare to take advantage of the situation.
Liu Ning thought of Xue Fenfen, so he called her and asked her to accompany him to the meeting.
Liu Ning doesn't know much about purely business matters, and he doesn't have a secretary. Xue Fenfen is more knowledgeable about these things, so let her act as his secretary for now, so he won't be taken advantage of during negotiations. This is something Liu Ning cannot tolerate.
