Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 1064: Chapter 707: December Market (Part 3)

The trading month lasting thirty days has just gone by seven days.

"Try again!"

Dragon Cypress signaled with his antennae.

White Rice transferred the newly acquired 50,000 Primordial Crystals to Poison Bean.

Dragon Cypress transferred another 45,000 from his own account, making a total of 95,000.

"Go to Flying Wing Star for a shopping spree. Ink Orchid doesn’t know anything, Green Peach, Poison Bean, be sure to control the price and quality, and bring back materials to make 1,000 cans."

"Alright!"

"Rest assured, Great Leader Dragon Cypress!"

Green Peach and Poison Bean responded.

Dragon Cypress further instructed, "White Willow flies fast, return to Xianglan Mountain, inform Fragrant Cypress and Black Sophora to prepare. The rest of the insects will wait here with me."

"Ink Orchid, once you receive the goods, head straight to Xianglan Mountain, refine them into Origin Force Honey, and then bring it over."

"Following the Great Leader’s command."

Ink Orchid replied emphatically, enthusiasm high, leading Green Peach and Poison Bean to set off.

...

The next afternoon,

Blue Catalpa and Snakebark Maple rushed to gather.

Blue Catalpa: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, our 500 cans sold out in less than half a day."

Snakebark Maple: "Chairman White Ivy led Red Peach and Silvergrass to procure goods, they plan to make another 1,000 cans for further testing."

Blue Catalpa: "Snakebark Maple and I traveled day and night, carried by Kirin Beast, crawling all the way here."

Snakebark Maple: "I’m exhausted."

Dragon Cypress: "...Alright."

Blue Catalpa asked: "Where are Ink Orchid, Green Peach, and Poison Bean?"

Snakebark Maple: "Could it be that everyone has reached a consensus without discussing?"

Purple Three Leaf: "...Yes."

Dragon Cypress instructed: "Let’s wait here for a few days. If you’re bored, feel free to take a stroll around the plaza, have a look."

...

Three days later,

Ink Orchid, Green Peach, and Poison Bean returned from procurement.

Another three days later,

Ink Orchid and White Ivy arrived urgently with 2000 cans of freshly made Origin Force Honey.

Sales were still conducted at two points in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

White Ivy led Chinese Clematis and Pueraria to set up a stall in South 1001 District.

In North 1001 District, the slot was handed over to Ghost Fan and Woodberry.

Ghost Fan was in charge of sales.

Woodberry guarded the goods in the back, responsible for picking and packing.

Everything went exceptionally smoothly, selling out in just over half a day.

Dragon Cypress met with White Ivy, did a simple calculation, and both felt there was no need for further testing.

This year ends here, next year directly produce 10,000 cans.

Material procurement could take up the first half of the month, with emergency production, and selling in stalls in various points during the latter half.

...

With the increase in Origin Force Honey and Bee King Honey, the demand for fresh fruits and dried fruits for blending and flavoring also surged.

The territories of the Ant Clan and Bee Clan certainly had extensive orchards, and some vegetarian insect tribes also planted fruits.

Common fruits didn’t carry much value.

For the time being, Chairman White Ivy had to roam around oq obtaining them, when that didn’t work, buying with some Primordial Crystals, at least to meet urgent needs.

...

Specialized Worker Ants and Mountain Ants cultivated by Dragon Cypress began to appear one after another.

Black Cory and Rainbow Light commanded, with Tie Bush assisting, to start massive reclamation.

Remove native plants, excavate reservoirs, ponds, and pools, build water channels, and plan forest lands.

Initially construct a 20 square kilometer orchard, and promptly transplant seedlings cultivated last year.

...

[Time: Era 78, Year 119, 872]

July brought another year,

White Ivy’s group set off with Bee King Honey.

A month and a half later,

White Ivy’s group returned to Xianglan Mountain.

Fragrant Cypress and Black Sophora urgently crafted a batch of Bee King Honey.

White Ivy’s group took the goods and set off again.

Different insects with different needs.

The same insects, without a completely fixed annual demand.

The trading quota soared rapidly, but with insufficient goods inventory, there was some difficulty in turnover, replenishing midway through trades.

Another month and a half later,

White Ivy’s group returned to Xianglan Mountain again, seeking Dragon Cypress to calculate accounts.

This year, as expected, the scale of Bee King Honey transactions grew beyond 800,000, with profits exceeding 50,000 Primordial Crystals.

In December,

The Origin Force Honey transaction was successfully completed as planned.

Production and sales of 10,000 cans also resulted in a profit of 50,000 Primordial Crystals.

Startup capital was 1 million.

Earned 145,000 in two years.

The cooperative Origin Force Honey and Bee King Honey projects, combined with principal and profits, total assets reached 1.145 million.

Subsequently,

The transaction volume and profit of Origin Force Honey remain fixed.

The transaction volume of Bee King Honey would increase annually, with net profits exceeding 100,000 each year, growing year by year to 110,000, and then 120,000.

In three years, accumulate trading capital, expand trading scale, after which Dragon Cypress could comfortably enjoy dividends.

Dragon Cypress thoughtfully built a specialized cold storage for Bee King Honey transactions, with Specialized Blue Soldiers guarding it.

In future, when the transactions grow larger, a batch of Bee King Honey could be stocked within the cold storage, ready for easy retrieval and turnover.
