Chapter 775: Chapter 794: The Long Journey to Q3
"The scenario you described makes me very happy."
"Suddenly, paying for it all doesn’t seem so difficult anymore."
’The young man who once looked so innocent and naive, even when talking about serious matters, has gradually grown into a boss who sounds composed even when telling a joke.’
Qiuqiu mused.
She was quiet for a moment, so the person on the other end asked, "Qiuqiu, why aren’t you talking?"
"It’s nothing! I was just wondering how much it will cost to set up the factory on the Remote Star this time."
"A lot, probably." The sauce was in such high demand that the company had to open a new factory to increase production capacity, just as the fans had requested.
The investment to open a factory in the Federation’s suburbs was still too high.
The land was expensive, and few people there were willing to do back-breaking labor around the clock. Plus, for a factory that large, the equipment needed for full mechanization...
Was! ALSO! SO! EXPENSIVE!
So after some consideration, Qian Xingxing decided to take the money and head to a Remote Star for a while.
Developing a factory on a remote planet came with benefits. The local government had support policies: the land was so cheap it was practically free, there were tax subsidies, and local labor was far cheaper than robots.
Most importantly, despite all the cost-saving measures, once the factory was up and running, it could still provide hundreds of thousands of jobs to the local area.
Hundreds of thousands of families would no longer have to go work in the mines.
"But the investment is worth it. We’ll make it all back quickly."
"Honestly, it feels like we’re printing money..."
They were earning Star Coins at an incredible rate.
"If we develop a few more new products, and give it five to ten years, our company’s profits will quickly surpass the Federation Live Broadcast Company."
He’d become the new richest man in the live broadcast industry, all thanks to a soaring subsidiary.
His words made Qiuqiu laugh. "You’ve taken up joking lately."
"Yeah, because things are easier now."
"We’ve won every clash, one after another."
They were developing steadily, with their feet firmly on the ground. Cooperating with multiple governments, even if they were all in remote regions, still counted as working with official agencies and provided a layer of security.
Providing technology, creating jobs.
"I thought all this would take a ’lifetime’ to achieve." When Qian Xingxing said ’lifetime,’ he didn’t just mean something to be completed before he died, but the kind of thing he thought he’d only get a chance at in his old age.
"What are you talking about? We did it in just one year."
"In another year, we’ll be able to do even more!"
"I think so, too." The future was full of possibilities.
"I’m almost at the jump station, so I have to hang up."
"Safe travels, Little President Qian~"
Qian Xingxing stepped out of the Hovercar. "The jump technology is very mature, so it should be a safe trip. It’s just a pity I won’t be able to keep tabs on the dismal sales of that crab roe sauce, or Qian Song’s constant flip-flopping." He had actually learned that particular turn of phrase from Qiuqiu.
"There probably won’t be anything new to see."
"Customers aren’t shy about critiquing their food. It’ll be the same old story: they’ll think the other guys’ sauce is expensive and tastes bad, then get angry and refuse to buy it."
After all, they’d been through so many rounds of this business war.
The tactics were always clear, simple, and crude.
"That’s true."
...
At that moment, neither Jiang Qiuqiu nor Qian Xingxing knew.
That there was no shortage of idiots in any corner of the galaxy.
And the antics of these idiots had a way of going viral that was just too easy.
-
On the evening of the 23rd, Qian Xingxing made the jump to the Remote Star Q3 for a business trip to oversee the factory expansion.
That same day, the official Taobao Food sales account for Gugu Meat Sauce posted a new message.
’All users who have purchased Spicy Gugu Meat Sauce at least two (2) times since the product link went live are eligible to receive a mysterious gift~’
From Juju, a guarantee of quality.
