Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Gao Qiang wanted to reject the proposal.

Giving up the management of the factory? Are you kidding me?
This is my own factory, okay?
but.

In Gao Qiang's eyes, Chen Ye's figure became increasingly terrifying, as if it would expand infinitely!

Until it devours everything within itself!

Life or money!
This is a difficult choice...

His strong survival instinct clearly outweighed his love of money. After all, with his level of wealth, he no longer had to worry about money. For him, wealth was just a string of numbers. He had fully unlocked all the rights to enjoy life and could have whatever he wanted. But he only had one life.

Intuition told Gao Qiang that if he answered the question wrong here, his life would be in serious danger!

and,

The security guards around him were no match for a celestial being of this level!
After hesitating for a long time, Gao Qiang took a deep breath and said:

"According to your will!"

Well, that's not bad, they're quite sensible.

Chen Ye withdrew his oppressive aura and revealed a smile:
"Although most of the new employees have left, I will be changing the employee benefits here. By the way, the medication you distributed before is no longer effective against new employees, so the benefits policy needs to be completely changed."

Gao Qiang's expression changed slightly: "This will cost a lot of money..."

However, sensing Chen Ye's gaze that looked like he was looking at a dead man, Gao Qiang swallowed back the words he was about to say.

"Sigh, it seems that if I want to completely control this factory, I have to play a tune for this boss; he won't understand unless I play a song for him." Chen Ye shook his head and then played a suona tune.

When that chapter of wandering and drifting, condensing the wishes of countless human head balloons, is played out.

Gao Qiang was completely captivated by Chen Ye's brilliant performance...

His gaze darted around a few times, and when his mind returned, he suddenly realized the mistake he had made: "My God... what have I done... can the food produced in this place even be sold?"

"What do you think?" Chen Ye said with a cold smile.

The balloons displaying human heads in this area stopped abruptly upon hearing Chen Ye's music.

Their eyes were filled with anger as they looked at Gao Qiang!
The reason this factory has fallen into such a difficult-to-clean state is absolutely unforgivable due to the chairman's decision!
If the human balloons hadn't been unable to get normal food, if everyone hadn't had to rely on drugs to survive, and if they hadn't been exploited to the point of not even having a chance to clean themselves, how could the entire factory have fallen into such a vicious cycle?
Moreover, some of this food was also supplied to the factory. In other words, even those who worked in the factory and had better conditions and treatment were only eating spoiled, moldy, and disgusting food.

As for the very few high-end foods, they are not produced by human head balloons.

Therefore, the human-shaped balloon seems to be trapped in a bottomless cage, unable to climb out no matter how hard it tries.

The factory bosses, represented by Gao Qiang, with their greedy and insolent behavior, are the culprits who have caused unrest among all the people.

"I have some ideas for reforming this factory..."

Gao Qiang stammered, then roughly explained his thoughts.

Simply put, it means increasing benefits, improving the cleaning management system, and trying to allow employees to live a normal life.

"not enough."

Chen Ye coldly shook his head, rejecting Gao Qiang's proposal: "What you've said can't fundamentally solve the problem here. What we need are human employees, not human balloons."

"Human head balloons might be useful as an auxiliary tool; they can move warehouses and do some heavy, dirty work. But you want human head balloons to be in charge of food production? They are the ones who need food the most, and don't you understand their attributes yet?"

Gao Qiang immediately fell silent.

The cost of labor in this world is extremely high.

The value of a human's labor is at least ten times that of a human head balloon!
If the entire food production line were replaced by manual labor...

Then.

The total production cost will increase by ten or even twenty times!
The food produced must be sold at a high price in order to recoup the cost.

but,

As can be seen with the naked eye, the factories managed by Gao Qiang are all processing sites for cheap food.

The food sold may end up in other factories, or at some down-on-their-luck street vendors, or cake shops.

These food items primarily attract customers who are just people with empty heads.

A lot of food is wasted every day.

Because the food produced cannot be sold out completely, and few people would like to eat such low-quality food, it is basically all self-produced and self-sold.

Chen Yedao said, "I will provide professional automated production equipment and become your largest shareholder. I need to control more than 70% of the shares."

"Seventy percent?" Gao Qiang's mouth dropped open, unable to believe the number.

If this is really done, it means that Gao Qiang will no longer be the chairman, and the one who truly holds power will naturally be Chen Ye, who controls 70% of the shares.

Chen Ye frowned, took a step forward, and in a flash, he was already in front of Gao Qiang.

Gao Qiang was immediately startled. Such speed was definitely not a power that an ordinary person could possess!

Celestial beings? No, even celestial beings seem insignificant in this boy's eyes.

It has been achieved...

He's almost at the level of an immortal!

Chen Ye smiled slightly, feeling quite satisfied with the result of this deterrent. He said calmly, "You have no choice, because all the human head balloons here no longer need to serve you. They will only serve me. With just one word from me, I can gather a large number of human head balloons and rebuild a factory."

"You need to understand one thing: the reason I'm still leaving you 30% of the shares is entirely because of the land deed, which is a rather complicated transaction. Otherwise, with my capabilities, I'm fully capable of setting up a factory on a larger scale elsewhere!"

"This is your opportunity, your last chance. Are you willing, or not?"

Chen Ye had no interest in killing anyone here. After all, the order of this world was not so great that everyone would become strange. Although Gao Qiang in front of him had no heart and not much brains, and was just a living capitalist, he was not yet deserving of death.

Gao Qiang hesitated for a long time, seemingly intimidated by Chen Ye's words. Moreover, he was also very curious about where Chen Ye got the automated production line.

"Okay... I agree to your request, but is there really a fully automated production line?" Gao Qiang was a little incredulous.

Chen Ye grinned, and without saying a word, took out a blueprint and began to develop some design drawings based on the original structure of the factory. These tentacles use magic energy crystals as their energy source. This rare mineral comes from the abyss sea. Chen Ye had fished up quite a lot of it before, and it could be used as the power source for the artifact technology.

As for who to find to forge it... of course, it's Tang Wu!

Tang Wu's current artifact crafting skills are such that he can even create large artifacts like airships. Crafting a set of automatically produced parts would be no problem at all.

Chen Ye: "Brother Tang Wu, I have some blueprints for an automated food production machine room. Could you help me with the design and development of the related components?"

Chen Ye sent over his rough design concept.

I consider this to be the initial design I carried out.

But in reality, once it reaches Tang Wu's side, there will definitely be some minor adjustments.

Tang Wu glanced at the blueprints and immediately patted his chest, guaranteeing, "The designs of these relics are very simple. I guarantee I can get you a complete set in the blink of an eye!"

"Hehe, Boss Chen Ye is definitely plotting something incredible again!"

"But... why is this related to food production?"

In Tang Wu's view, Chengxin Restaurant and other businesses were mainly led by Chen Ye, and the chef's skills were the main reason for the success of the business. It didn't seem to need to rely on automated production...

Moreover, this month's strategy guide theme is the strategy guide ranking!
Developing these automated food production processes seems to be aimed at the entire industry chain.

Is this really necessary?
but.

Since it was Chen Ye who made the request, Tang Wu naturally did it without hesitation.

After all, Chen Ye's path to conquest was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Not long after, Tang Wu instructed the brothers of the Manufacturing Association to quickly build the product according to Chen Ye's blueprints.

A series of clanging sounds rang out...

The Manufacturing Association has now absorbed members of the Sea God Clan, and with the addition of a large number of players, as well as many native factions, it now has a team of tens of thousands of construction units!
With a design blueprint, the manufacturing efficiency is extremely high when all personnel are mobilized!

Since it was an order from Boss Chen Ye, Tang Wu certainly didn't dare to neglect it. He immediately spent five thousand construction units and, with their incredible teamwork, completed the entire automated food production chain in less than an hour.

All you need is a spatial ring to store it, then send it to Chen Ye via the [Trade] function of the Crimson Phone...

It's that simple!
at the same time.

Inside another giant bubble, Chen Ye's blood-red phone rang as expected.

"It seems there are no problems."

Chen Ye smiled slightly. Although they were far apart and located in two different giant bubbles, the blood-red phone seemed to be able to break through the limitations of the world.

"I wonder who developed this phone, that it can connect so many players and allow them to chat and even trade across servers without any problems."

Chen Ye muttered a few words, then gently waved his hand forward...

next second.

The scale of automated production instantly covered the entire factory!

Wheat needs to be sterilized at high temperatures before it can be used in the manufacturing process.

Kneading the dough and the entire manufacturing process can be completed in one go.

Baking is carried out in the middle stage.

Towards the end, high-calorie seasonings such as cream and cheese are added.

As for the seasonings... Chen Ye simply used the ones originally from this world. After all, in this factory, if there's anything most valuable, it's the raw materials for making bread and all sorts of seasonings.

As for the meat... since it was all frozen and had already been contaminated, Chen Ye simply used [Blazing Sun Divine Fire] to grill it again.

The aroma of roasted meat, mixed with the white bread, is covered with cheese and cream...

The aroma emanating from the balloons made several nearby people's mouths water...

"Is...is this a miracle?"

Gao Qiang's lips trembled as he stared at his factory. Compared to before, it had undergone earth-shattering changes, and he could hardly believe that all of this was real!
It felt like a dream!
The factory underwent such a large-scale transformation in less than a year, a month, or even two or three days; it only took the boy a snap of his fingers to achieve such a dramatic change…

Gao Qiang felt as if his worldview had been shattered today!
"Have a piece of bread!"

Chen Ye was full of confidence in the automated food production system he designed and which was then processed and modified by Tang Wu.

After all, when I was in the "City of Destiny," I was specifically in charge of food processing, so I have accumulated technical skills and experience in this area.

Faced with the bread in front of him, Gao Qiang took a deep breath and accepted it with a reverent expression.

To be honest…

If it were bread made in his own factory, Gao Qiang would never have eaten a single bite.

As the factory owner, he certainly knew how those foods were made; only rats in the sewers would be interested in such moldy, rotten bread.

Ironically, because there are so many human-shaped balloons in this world, there are always human-shaped balloons willing to spend money in this consumer market. As for the high-priced delicacies that humans normally eat, they are sold at exorbitant prices because they are too rare, making them unaffordable for most humans.

Instead, it became a resource point that people were fighting over!

Over time,
In this world, not many people are willing to produce high-quality food; most just eat it, and few people would buy it if they tried to sell it.

This has led to the food consumed by everyone in the world becoming increasingly of poor quality.

Gao Qiang ate with tears in his eyes, as if he were eating real gold, not gourmet food.

Even though I had received the best food in the Platinum Building area, it didn't taste as good as this bread.

"You all come and eat too!"

Chen Ye looked at the several balloons with human heads nearby, his mouth watering, and quickly called out. (End of Chapter)
