Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 927 Setting sail to find an island to build a tobacco factory

"Brother Guo, isn't this a bit too lavish!"

Chu Chen looked at the seafood and pretended to be curious, which made Guo Song feel comfortable.

What he didn't know was that Chu Chen was practically sick of this stuff, and the way these dishes were prepared was far inferior to Chu Chen's.

However, Fee, Guan Chuan, and Shui Churou were quite excited, after all, they had spent so many years in the Desert City and endured too many hardships.

Looking at the strange things on the table, the two of them plopped down and sat down.

Chu Chen, on the other hand, was thinking that he could bring tobacco and iron ore to Shanhai City and take silver and seafood back with him, which would be another excellent business opportunity.

"Brother Chu, this is your first time visiting my Shanhai City, and you've brought me such wonderful things. I don't know how to thank you enough!"

Guo Song, holding a wine glass in one hand and a cigarette in the other, chuckled as he spoke.

Looking at him, Chu Chen thought to himself that he was getting the hang of things really fast. He'd have Ba Tiancheng and Chen Qingxuan train him properly; he'd become another drunkard.

If possible, opening a Red Romance restaurant in the mountains and sea would definitely be profitable.

"Brother Guo is joking. We are all friends. The desert and the mountains and seas are neighbors. There was no passage connecting the two places before. Now that the road is open, we should strengthen exchanges in the future."

After a round of mutual flattery, the banquet continued until nightfall.

Under Guo Song's arrangement, the group moved into a separate courtyard inside the city lord's mansion.

The next morning, Chu Chen dragged Ba Tiancheng out of his room, along with the two maids who had served them tea the day before.

"Damn it, I was just thinking about getting some work done this morning, why did you drag me out of bed?"

Ba Tiancheng, who was pulled out of bed, was in a terrible mood and immediately yelled at Chu Chen in a bad mood.

"Come with me to the seaside. The people in Desert City have such limited tastes!"

"You mean, go fishing in the sea?"

Upon hearing this, Ba Tiancheng immediately became interested. After all, what man could resist the thrill of catching fish!

"No, let's go take a look first and see if there are any undeveloped sea areas in Shanhai City. Then we'll ask that old bastard Guo Song for an island!"

"An island? What do you need that for?"

Chu Chen did not explain to him that he had promised Guo Song yesterday that he would open a cigarette factory in Shanhai City.

However, this thing doesn't require much technology, so in order to make money in the first wave, there are two issues that need to be paid close attention to.

The first thing is the cultivation of tobacco leaves. Management must be strengthened. It should only be cultivated in the Great Desert City in the name of the City Lord's Mansion, and the seeds must not be leaked.

Secondly, the arrangements for the cigarette factory must be kept secret. This way, at least while I am still the city lord of the Desert City, I can monopolize this business!

When tobacco is planted on a large scale, tobacco factories in Desert City will definitely be established, but in the future they will be facing the entire Tianyu region.

Therefore, the production capacity of Desert City alone is definitely insufficient.

The branch factory in Shanhai City is equally important, so having a small island would make management much easier.

After Ba Tiancheng was helped to wash up by Chu Chen, the two of them drove an SUV straight to the beach.

Because it was early, he left the city lord's mansion quietly without even informing Guo Song.

About an hour and a half later, the SUV stopped directly by the sea.

Chu Chen looked up and saw that the seawater was very clear. Along the beach, there were docks of all sizes, boats of all shapes and sizes, and seafood stalls, making the area particularly lively.

Without lingering, the two went directly to a dock, waved to launch a yacht, and set off into the deep sea amidst the astonished gazes of onlookers.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at a pristine sea. In the center of this sea was a rectangular island. The vegetation on it was not lush, with only some small shrubs, proving that it was just a small island.

What made Chu Chen and Ba Tiancheng stop their boat was a waterfall that cascaded vertically down from the island.

If there's a waterfall, it means there's fresh water.

"Brother Ba, let's go up and take a look. If there's no sign of people or anything else, we'll stay here for now."

"You've made your decision. I'm just an extra!"

Chu Chen shook his head after listening, but what Ba Tiancheng said made sense. Bringing him along was just for safety in case of special circumstances.

I doubt he'd be interested in business matters even if I told him.

After the two landed on the island, Chu Chen immediately set up a drone and began to survey the island.

An hour later, a smile appeared on Chu Chen's lips.

"Alright, we're here. Are you done grilling?"

With nothing to do, Ba Tiancheng held a wine bottle in one hand and grilled meat in the other. Seeing that Chu Chen had finished, he casually handed him a chicken leg.

"You want this island to house troops?"

"Gather troops? This isn't a desert city. Do you mean you're planning to bring people to attack Shanhai City?!"

"Then what will you use it for?"

"You'll find out when the time comes. Once you've figured it out, I'll build you a house right here, complete with a hundred or so girls!"

"Get lost! This 'Red Romance' thing you're talking about hasn't even opened yet. Don't give me that sweet talk when you're not actually doing it!"

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself that his next goal was Hong Langman.

Now that we've arrived in Shanhai City, we absolutely must take several carloads of people back with us.

People living in the desert can't live without entertainment.

"Don't worry, after we get back, go to all the brothels in Shanhai City. The purpose is simple: see if there's anyone you like. If there is, bring them back with you."

"Holy crap, you're really going to have a romantic time in PvP?"

"Also, go to the brokerage firm and buy people. I'll tell you the price in a bit, but there's one thing: you can't force them."

Chu Chen ignored his surprise and instead rattled off his requirements to him.

After hearing this, Ba Tiancheng immediately grabbed a skewer of meat from the shelf: "What are you standing there for? Let's go!"

"I haven't finished eating yet!"

"Once we get to the city, you won't have to worry about not having food."

After saying that, Ba Tiancheng grabbed Chu Chen and they instantly arrived on the yacht.

Then he forced Chu Chen to drive towards Shanhai City.

Upon arriving at Shanhai City's main street, Ba Tiancheng decided not to even return to the City Lord's Mansion. Instead, he directly asked Chu Chen for 30,000 amethyst crystals and then turned around and walked into a brothel.

Chu Chen drove back to the city lord's mansion and went directly to Guo Song to tell him about choosing which island to build the tobacco factory.

Guo Song was overjoyed to see Chu Chen being so enthusiastic.

"Don't worry, Brother Chu. Now that you've chosen that place, leave everything—factory and accommodation—to me. In three months, I'll give you a new island!"
