CHAPTER 650: CHAPTER 267 MUTATED POISONOUS TOAD

Liang Yuan mentioned the cold wave coming, which immediately changed Zhao Kai’s expression.

He instantly realized the problem.

Once the cold wave arrives, what use is his cold chain freezing business?

Everyone’s stuff can freeze outside, does it need freezing?

Zhao Kai’s face suddenly turned bitter, and he couldn’t help but say, "How could I have forgotten this!"

Ding Yan also couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "I think you better come up with another plan. This cold storage business, better wait until summer to start it."

Zhao Kai was speechless, saying, "I’ve already rented the shop. Now, if I don’t do the cold storage, I don’t know what to do."

Ding Yan said, "You can transfer the lease again. Now renting it out costs 10,000 Points a month, you won’t lose anything. In the future, the shops over there will only get more expensive."

Zhao Kai was a bit reluctant, saying, "It’s still better doing something yourself. Besides, Feifei’s dad is old, we don’t want him to keep patrolling in the patrol team. If we can open a shop, he can stay in the shelter safely, without needing to go on outside tasks or fish by the river. This way, safety is assured, and he won’t be idle."

Ding Yan shrugged: "Then you better think about it yourself, I have no good ideas."

Zhao Kai couldn’t help but look at Liang Yuan, asking, "Brother Liang, what do you think?"

Liang Yuan walked and said, "To do business, you must first analyze what you can sell. Hu Weimin and his team are experts at making buns, they can open a bun shop and earn hard-earned money."

"Old Yang can open a Talisman Stone shop because he can produce Talisman Stones."

"What about you?"

Zhao Kai couldn’t help but say, "I only know how to make ice. As for Feifei, her Spirit Maze superpower doesn’t seem to produce anything tangible."

Liang Yuan laughed, "In summer, your ice-making ability is indeed rare, but with the cold wave coming, ice will be everywhere, not rare at all. So, this path won’t work."

Zhao Kai was helpless, saying, "Do we really have to transfer the lease?"

Liang Yuan laughed, "Don’t ask me, if I had business acumen, I wouldn’t have been working before the big flood."

Everyone has their strengths, Liang Yuan has a clear understanding of himself.

He’s not a business genius and doesn’t have much entrepreneurial mindset.

So, for him to come up with a profitable business idea for Zhao Kai, it’s not possible.

After saying this, Liang Yuan left Zhao Kai to think about it himself and looked at Ding Yan, asking, "Ding Yan, you mentioned before you’re a teacher at Linjiang University?"

Ding Yan was puzzled, saying, "Yes, I was an associate professor at Linjiang University School of Engineering, why?"

"Tu Long told me your school’s shipbuilding program is very strong, with some great expert professors?"

Ding Yan immediately understood, asking, "You want to build a boat?"

Liang Yuan nodded, "Yes, Linjiang is now a water marsh and can’t recover."

"Even if the cold wave comes, I estimate it can only maintain the water level from rising further. Once next year comes, the cold wave recedes, and the rainy season arrives, there might be torrential rains."

"So, building a boat is imperative. While Yangshan has a lot of timber and various materials, I think we need to plan early."

"Currently, we lack various talents. Boat building is a major project, especially making a large ship."

"Without professional expert guidance, it’s absolutely impossible to complete."

Ding Yan nodded, her expression also becoming serious.

Liang Yuan has always been someone who thinks about danger in times of peace, and she agrees with him on this point.

Back when the heavy rain kept falling, Liang Yuan was the first to plan to leave the building and head to Yangshan.

At that time, she knew Liang Yuan was someone with foresight.

"Linjiang University School of Shipbuilding is near the School of Engineering, though not the same school, the professors often meet for meetings."

"As far as I know, the lead figure in the School of Shipbuilding is Professor Li Hanzhong."

"I heard his team was involved in the research and design of the Liaoning Ship, with considerable experience in ship design and practice."

"In their team, it’s not just about shipbuilding, but also material research and technology. They’ve explored special synthetic steels, super coatings, and more."

"Just don’t know where he is now."

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but ask, "Is he at the school?"

"Hard to say, the school was already on summer break, and professors generally don’t work on site, most likely not at school." Ding Yan shook her head.

Liang Yuan frowned, did such talents also perish in this flood?

However, Ding Yan suddenly thought of something, "But I heard Professor Li Hanzhong has a residence near the school. Don’t know if he was at home during the big flood."

Liang Yuan quickly asked, "Do you know where he lives?"

Ding Yan shook her head, "No, I only met him a few times, saw him at meetings, and hardly spoke a few words."

"To find out his address, we might have to go to Linjiang University."

Liang Yuan slightly nodded, saying, "Looks like we’ll need to go there when we get a chance."

Zhao Kai couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Liang, where are we going now?"

"To the west of Yangshan, to check the Water Marsh Restricted Area rampant with mutant beasts."

"Water Marsh Restricted Area?" Zhao Kai was stunned.

Ding Yan said, "That’s what the miners call the water area between Yangshan and Meishan."

"That water area lies between two mountains, the water flow is relatively slow, many mutant creatures linger there, including mutant frogs and mutant water spiders."

Zhao Kai’s expression suddenly became serious. Though he hadn’t heard of that water area, he had personally experienced the mutant frogs.
