Chapter 567: Getting Rich Overnight
The administrative team had yet to be fully established, and new issues arose daily. He Tianming was so busy that he barely had time to catch his breath, so he wasn’t aware of this matter.
A livestock farm—this was incredible news.
With the land submerged, he had assumed all poultry had perished.
Well… as expected, Jiang Ning always had a way.
He Tianming’s expression relaxed. “This is great news. I fully support it.”
Jiang Ning presented the issue. “But the food factory wants to team up and take half the shares.”
He Tianming remained composed and asked. “What percentage do you think would be appropriate?”
Government affairs were now under his management, and the food processing plant was no exception. However, there were too many matters to handle, and he hadn’t gotten to that one yet.
Jiang Ning considered for a moment. “No more than 20%.”
He Tianming frowned slightly. He didn’t immediately agree, nor did he refuse.
Jiang Ning revealed her hand. “Mayor He, I’m negotiating with full sincerity. This isn’t just about the livestock farm—it includes the farmland as well. In the future, there will also be medicinal plant cultivation and more.”
The cost of the glass greenhouses could be overlooked, but the land required in the future, as well as the energy needed to deal with cold waves or sudden freezes, would require support from the base.
Of course, if there were tax benefits, that would be even better.
By laying everything out, Jiang Ning was also testing He Tianming.
After all, he was part of her long-term plans.
After a moment of contemplation, He Tianming tactfully said, “Thank you for your support. I’ll go back and study it. It’ll take a bit before I can give you an answer.”
Jiang Ning smiled. “Alright, I’ll look forward to your decision.”
As He Tianming stood up and reached the door, he paused. “Jiang Ning, do you have faith that we can restore Fengcheng to what we remember?”
“With you here, along with others like you, I believe it can definitely be achieved.”
As He Tianming left, his posture seemed a little straighter under the sunlight.
After inspecting the farm, the group prepared to leave.
Doudou was very enthusiastic and insisted on giving each person a few pounds of fresh vegetables, saying they should taste the quality of the greenhouse produce and see if any improvements were needed.
The officials found it amusing but left carrying the vegetables nonetheless.
Doudou stayed for lunch at the farm. Jiang Ning brought out steamed buns, stir-fried preserved meat with dried vegetables, and porridge, then asked her to call Rong Dashao and Tingting over to eat together.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ning headed to the government center’s population registry.
There’s still no news about Lu Yu, Zheng Weili, and the others.
The staff member was warm and polite. “Miss Jiang, as soon as there’s any news about them, I’ll inform you immediately.”
Being eye-catching and beautiful, and the daughter of the base leader, everyone in the base knew who she was. The staff didn’t dare to be negligent.
Even those who didn’t recognize her could easily guess from her appearance and attire.
The entire base envied Huo Yishen. People speculated about how much good fortune his ancestors must have accumulated for him to marry the base leader’s daughter.
Not only was she stunning, but she was also extraordinarily capable.
Many were jealous to the point of frustration—some people just have different destinies.
Jiang Ning ignored all the stares and walked home with her dog.
After feeding the gluttonous couple, she collected a batch of space-grown crops and replanted the empty fields with cotton.
Huo Yishen didn’t return until evening.
The weather was scorching, and working on the sea handover left him covered in sweat.
There were seven Fire Seed Containers that had arrived, one containing a seawater purification system, one with crop seeds, one with an excavator, one with a photolithography machine, one filled with rare cultural relics from various dynasties, one with simple textile equipment, and one with office equipment and supplies.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment. “We should probably keep an excavator for ourselves.”
There was a high chance that the Fire Seed Containers were buried underground, and she had no interest in getting blisters from digging with a shovel again.
Huo Yishen had a slight smile at the corner of his lips. “Vice Captain Xu immediately asked for two units, and he also wanted two computers.”
One trip out to sea, and the base made a huge leap forward.
Fabric, seeds, a seawater purification system, and excavators—all of these could create plenty of job opportunities.
This batch of supplies was a great find. Most of it could be used by the base, and He Tianming would probably wake up laughing in the middle of the night.
A surge in employment was also part of the achievements.
Jiang Ning was in a good mood. “Has the reward been given yet?”
Huo Yishen nodded. “Yes. The supplies we brought back this time were highly valuable. I got promoted three ranks in a row. Xu Kaitai, due to his higher military rank, has a different evaluation standard. If he successfully completes the next mission, he can be promoted by one rank. As for the team members, they all received a one-rank promotion.”
Jiang Ning pouted. “I only got promoted by one rank? That’s boring.”
Huo Yishen pulled her into his arms. “How about I put in a special request for you?”
She was just teasing him. Gu Tinglin had arranged for him to be sent out after careful consideration—it was the best way to protect her.
She hugged him lightly. “This shortcut is bound to be filled with dangers. Do you have confidence?”
“I do.” Huo Yishen rested his chin on her head. “Anning, I want to carve out a future where you and Doudou can live safely and peacefully for the rest of your lives.”
He wasn’t afraid of hardship, but he truly felt that she had it tougher than him.
The risks of salvaging aside, once this mission was completed, she would still have to go to the hospital in the future.
Compared to him, she was even busier.
To put it bluntly, she was putting in more effort but receiving less in return—or at least, that was how it looked on the surface.
After discussing the Fire Seed Containers, there was an unexpected surprise.
The military’s rewards were impressive. While the Fire Seed Containers’ ownership was unquestionable, the rest of the salvaged supplies were split evenly.
In other words, whether it was fabric or seaweed, all 14 team members would receive half of the haul.
Fabric was valuable, so the military suggested that the team members keep enough for their own needs and exchange the rest for points to use in the base’s system.
Jiang Ning wasn’t particularly interested in the supplies, but the other team members were ecstatic.
Not only was this an all-expenses-paid trip, but they had also gotten rich overnight.
They agreed to exchange and save up points to buy houses.
“Huang Mao and the others are asking when you’ll be free. They want to treat us to a meal.”
Following these two meant getting benefits, making it a great opportunity to win people over. Jiang Ning, of course, had no objections. “Are they still staying at sea?”
“The living conditions on the transport ship are good, so they don’t want to come ashore just yet. They’re busy converting shipping containers into housing.”
The trip had been exhausting, and since there weren’t any urgent missions coming up, Jiang Ning decided to rest for a few days before thinking about anything else.
At this moment, she had no idea that her latest salvage operation had caused an uproar throughout the base.
The land had already been turned over multiple times, leaving hardly anything left to find.
Yet the special task force had gone on just one trip and brought back such valuable supplies.
Suddenly, the entire base became obsessed with the idea of ocean salvage.
Not just the lower ranks—even the upper management began considering the possibilities.
The base lacked everything, and the ocean was vast. Salvage operations shouldn’t be limited to just the Fire Seed Containers.
Could they retrieve other resources as well?
With suggestions came opposition.
Yu Changzheng was the first to disagree. “The ocean is too dangerous. Those 26 intact containers of fabric were just a lucky find. The salvage team is short on manpower, and the priority should be locating the Fire Seed Containers as soon as possible. We can’t afford to lose sight of the bigger picture.”
