#378 - Chapter 378 Yan Zhengping earns extra money

September 20, 2055.

After Niu Xingwang signed purchase contracts with eight cities, all the catching flyers had been shipped.

Now, these settlements have all launched a vigorous learning campaign.

In addition to some selected drivers learning the operation process of the flyers, most residents are learning another skill: raising rats.

Knowing that raising rats could earn them crystal cores, everyone's enthusiasm for learning soared to unprecedented heights.

Everywhere in the streets and alleys, people could be seen holding notebooks, carefully recording every word spoken by the trainers.

So, don't say that learning is hard or tiring; it's because the motivation for learning is not enough.

When it comes to earning crystal cores, everyone is serious.

Now, those who understand electric welding have become highly sought after, becoming the center of attention wherever they go.

There's no other reason; everyone wants to weld a few more cages to raise more rats.

For the convenience of management and dispatch, and to ensure fairness as much as possible, the temporary headquarters of the settlement compiled statistics on people with labor ability and divided them into groups.

Each group consists of 12 people who independently raise rats. More work, more gain; less work, less gain; no work, no gain.

They need to buy feed from the settlement, and they can get income after selling the rats. The operation mode is like individual businesses, contracting cages, and being responsible for their own profits and losses.

It's just that because the settlement guarantees sales, they don't need marketing, and they don't have to worry about selling the rats they raise. So there is basically no risk.

The benefit of doing this is to improve everyone's work enthusiasm while ensuring that everyone can get benefits as much as possible.

Because each city also has 1-6 or more settlements, these lower-level settlements also came to the site to investigate after learning that the mayor introduced the Huatong Chamber of Commerce project.

These mayors also welcomed everyone.

Because after their own settlement sorts out this matter, they will definitely let them all start raising rats. This way, the sales of feed will be wider.

It's not enough just for this city; they also have to find ways to fool the surrounding cities.

I believe that very soon, the vast Yangtze River line, centered on Jingmen City and Luzhou City, will all become the main force in raising rats.

At the same time, Yan Zhengping and Zong Zhengyue also quickly learned the news.

Yan Zhengping started early, and now the stock of rats is quite large. Seeing that Hanzhong area began to promote rat breeding, his mind became active.

An adult rat can produce a crystal core, but he can sell these rats for two crystal cores each. Those settlements have welded a lot of cages, but the rats can only be caught one by one, and they certainly can't catch many in a short time.

This matter will only be profitable in the short term. After everyone has rats, he will not be able to sell them.

So, without delay, he quickly sent someone to talk to Mayor Xu of Jingmen City.

Mayor Xu was overjoyed after learning that Yan Zhengping could provide a large number of adult rats. He immediately signed a purchase contract for 500,000 rats. This is 1 million crystal cores, Mayor Xu certainly doesn't have it. Yan Zhengping was not afraid of him running away and directly sold them to him on credit.

Subsequently, he also signed contracts with several other settlements.

Within a few days, he made millions of crystal cores.

Of course, these crystal cores will not be credited to the account until later, but he doesn't care, waiting doesn't matter.

Zong Zhengyue's side was a bit awkward.

Although he has been working hard to breed rats during this period, the starting time is too short after all. Now that the military regions have not been fully covered, it is certainly impossible to sell them to the outside world, and now he can only watch.

He was so anxious that he scratched his head, but he was helpless.

Zong Zhengyue said that it was impossible for him to be the only one suffering from this kind of bad thing, so he contacted Suo Tonghua and Shentu Zhenghao. He felt that it was necessary to let them also feel jealous with him.

He first contacted Suo Tonghua.

"Zong Four-Eyes, what are you calling me for? Speak quickly if you have something to say, fart quickly if you have a fart!" Suo Tonghua and Zong Zhengyue couldn't get along, so he was naturally not in a good mood.

"You are really biting the hand that feeds you, unable to recognize a good person. I originally wanted to reveal some explosive news to you, but looking at your attitude, I don't feel like saying it anymore," Zong Zhengyue said in a strange tone.

"You? A weasel wishing the chicken a Happy New Year, how can you be so kind?" Suo Tonghua didn't believe it at all.

"Look at you, your pattern is too small, isn't it? Forget it, I won't say it, you just wait to regret it!" Zong Zhengyue pretended to hang up the phone.

"Damn! You are really petty, speak!" Suo Tonghua was anxious.

If Zong Zhengyue hung up the phone after saying half of the sentence, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Let me tell you, Lao Yan has been making a fortune in silence these past few days. If you act now, you can still get some soup," Zong Zhengyue said, pretending to be a good person.

Suo Tonghua and Shentu Zhenghao had also started raising rats long ago. At present, the progress of the Northeast Military Region is a little slower than that of Zong Zhengyue, and the progress of the Northwest Military Region is even slower because of the war with Ulan.

Zong Zhengyue was sure that they could not sell rats to the outside world either, so he said this.

"What is he doing?" Suo Tonghua successfully took the bait.
