"So expensive! What is its production volume and where is it produced?"
The price of one thousand yuan per liter was astonishingly high!
"Currently, only the five permanent nations possess the capability for production and manufacturing. It involves complex technological processes and rare raw materials, hence the limited production. The global daily output is around a thousand tons."
Zhou Ningdong explained, having a general idea of Ye Yun's thoughts.
Although a thousand tons might seem small, a 5L quantity was enough for one person for a month. One thousand tons translated to a million liters.
Moreover, its use required the luxury item of a game pod. Deducting at least half the population who wouldn't use it, a thousand tons was more than enough for global consumption, with surplus to spare.
1000 tons a day, which is 1,000,000 liters. A month's production was enough for 6 million people! But currently, less than five million people were actually using the nutrient solution. This was because no one had reached level 30 yet, and thus no one could manifest their strength from the 'Dao of Heaven'.
However, as more and more people reached level 30, the first year would be fine. By the second year, as more players manifested higher levels of strength, the manifestation of strength would require enormous energy, leading to a severe food shortage, let alone nutrient solutions that could be directly absorbed by the human body.
No wonder nutrient solution was hard to find in his previous life! The production capacity was too low!
"Zhou Ningdong, starting tomorrow, contact all major manufacturers. If they can't sell it, tell them we'll help them consume it, but the price needs to be lowered slightly! Especially for imports!"
"We don't need them to do any packaging. Just have them build enough storage pools for us. However large they build, we'll take it!"
Nutrient solution, of course, the more the better. Ye Yun was simply exploiting a time difference.
"Alright, I'll arrange it later. Approximately how much capital will we need to invest daily?"
Zhou Ningdong nodded. He didn't know Ye Yun's specific reasons for hoarding nutrient solution, but he would carry out any order Ye Yun gave!
"No limit! And the same goes for food. Increase reserves appropriately!" Ye Yun said calmly. As for storage methods, that was not his concern. Sometimes, professional matters required professional people to handle!
"No limit?! Understood!" Zhou Ningdong was surprised. A ton of nutrient solution alone cost 1 million Hua coins or gold coins. Even at an 80% discount, it would still be 800,000 per ton!
Based on the surplus production of five manufacturers, the monthly output would be at least 5,000 tons! That amounted to 4 billion gold coins!
"Alright, what document are you holding? Does it require my signature?"
Ye Yun looked at the folder in Zhou Ningdong's hand and asked. General documents didn't require his signature, but this time there were so many.
"Oh, these are all invitations from domestic and international 'Dao of Heaven' organizations and alliances that have established real-world branches, inviting you, General, to attend their ribbon-cutting ceremonies." Zhou Ningdong placed a stack of invitations on Ye Yun's desk.
"Ribbon-cutting ceremonies? I'm busy to death, and they want me to attend ribbon-cutting ceremonies? Hua Nation Noble Families Alliance? Modu Tianshang Building? Not going!" Ye Yun picked up an invitation, glanced at it casually, and tossed it aside.
"This, General, these twenty to thirty invitations, you really can't refuse any of them. Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
Zhou Ningdong, having experience in the system, knew the intricacies. If he truly refused them, many future endeavors wouldn't proceed smoothly.
"How about this, arrange for two reserve members to specifically attend these ribbon-cutting ceremonies for these insignificant figures these days. Externally, they can claim to be the Minister of External Relations for our Dragon Palace!"
Ye Yun also knew that no matter how strong his power was, some matters were unavoidable.
He was a lone wolf, but the Dragon Palace had over ten thousand members, over ten thousand families, with intricate ties to society.
"Alright, I'll go arrange it now." Zhou Ningdong turned to leave.
At their positions, they had no fixed rest time. Unless absolutely necessary, they sometimes worked so hard that they only had time to log into 'Dao of Heaven' at night.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Ye Yun's mind raced, as if he had thought of something.
"Check, is there an organization called the Royal Dragon Society among the invitations? If there is, give it to me. I'll go personally for this one!" Ye Yun suddenly thought of two people, people he had mourned for two lifetimes.
The Royal Dragon Society?
Zhou Ningdong was stunned. He scanned the stack of invitations from top to bottom and finally found it at the very bottom.
Zhou Ningdong had arranged these invitations in order of importance from top to bottom. How did Ye Yun know? Could it be that heavenly beings could already see through things?
Thinking this, Zhou Ningdong, a former soldier, couldn't help but clench his legs. He awkwardly returned to Ye Yun and handed him the invitation from the Royal Dragon Society.
"This guy, is he sick today?" Ye Yun looked at Zhou Ningdong, who was running away quickly, and found it inexplicable.
"General, ..."
"Let's go, I'm going to your place for dinner. I feel like I could eat a cow today!"
Before Ding Yi could finish, Ye Yun waved his hand.
"No, General, your clothes are dirty." Ding Yi quickly said.
Dirty?
Ye Yun looked down and saw that his gray-white clothes were covered with small patches of black dirt, emitting a faint fishy smell.
Ye Yun directly took off his clothes and found that the surface of his skin was covered with a thin layer of oily sheen. Occasionally, he could see a bit of dark liquid. Touching it with his finger felt sticky and gooey.
Without a second word, Ye Yun plunged into the swimming pool, which had never been used before, at a speed of a hundred meters per second.
"Is this washing marrow or absorbing the Dao?" Ye Yun was baffled.
It was unscientific!
According to Old Man Zhang, washing marrow was something that happened when one was trying to ascend to the Grandmaster realm.
But with his current strength, let alone Grandmaster, he could easily annihilate ten thousand Old Man Zhangs.
If it was absorbing the Dao!
Hiss... was that even possible?
Ye Yun thrashed in the swimming pool. The surface of the water looked like a bucket of peanut oil had been poured in, glistening under the light!
After more than ten minutes, Ye Yun finally finished washing. When he wanted to get out, he realized he had forgotten to prepare clothes.
At this moment, Ding Yi seemed to have been prepared. Holding a set of clothes Ye Yun usually wore, she walked over with slender legs and high heels, always in her professional attire, her face blushing.
The enchanting scenery from bottom to top was all hers to behold!
Damn it... I need to calm down!
Ye Yun plunged his head into the bottom of the pool. After a while, he got up, and with his back to Ding Yi, quickly put on his clothes! He didn't even change his wet shorts and just put them on.
In Ding Yi's shocked gaze, he sprayed True Qi and instantly dried them!
"Let's go, let's eat!" Ye Yun led the way.
He followed Ding Yi to the 38th floor of the Dragon Palace Building.
"Brother-in-law! You're finally here!"
