Chapter 130: The Task
This was indeed good news, especially for Zhao Hai. With such a large territory to develop, any amount of money would seem insufficient to him. Now that someone was specifically coming to give him money, he was, of course, delighted.
However, Zhao Hai also calculated that his Spatial Ranch could currently raise a thousand Blue-eyed Rabbits at once. From the time he started raising them until they matured and could be harvested, it would take about three days. In a month, he could harvest them around ten times, meaning he could produce over ten thousand Blue-eyed Rabbits in a month.
Ten thousand rabbits a month wasn't a lot. If he wanted to raise Blue-eyed Rabbits in the mine as well, by the time those rabbits matured, he would have even more to sell. Zhao Hai had already thought it through: relying solely on the output from the Spatial Ranch wouldn't be sufficient. It would be best to use the Spatial Ranch as a breeding base while the real ranch should be established outside.
However, the mature Blue-eyed Rabbits in the Spatial Ranch could also be sold. He turned to Laura and said, “My farm has just started up, and I can only produce about eight thousand Blue-eyed Rabbits a month at most.”
Zhao Hai did not mention ten thousand. He understood very well that when starting a ranch, it was best to put some mature Blue-eyed Rabbits inside, along with some baby rabbits, as the survival rate of the baby rabbits would be higher.
Laura was taken aback for a moment. Eight thousand Blue-eyed Rabbits a month was really not a very high number, especially for a ranch. Compared to those large ranches, Zhao Hai's monthly output could only be considered a fraction.
But it was important to note that Zhao Hai's ranch had just begun, and the quality of his Blue-eyed Rabbits was exceptionally good. Ordinary Blue-eyed Rabbits had a magical element content that usually only magical beasts of level three and above possessed, which was truly impressive.
Laura nodded and said, “Rest assured, sir. I guarantee I will contact the buyers for you. Do you have any special requirements?”
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, “Actually, there is one requirement. I can sell the Blue-eyed Rabbits, but I need to retain the rabbit skins. I would like to recover at least sixteen thousand rabbit skins over the course of two months, and they need to be processed and ready to be made into leather garments. I wonder if Miss Laura can assist with this?”
Laura frowned slightly. Meat processing plants on the Ark Continent usually bought live magical beasts, then killed them to collect their skins, which they sold to leather processing plants. Generally, skins from Blue-eyed Rabbits were also quite cheap.
If Zhao Hai wanted to retain the rabbit skins, the meat processing plants would lose part of their income. As a result, very few meat processing plants would buy Zhao Hai's Blue-eyed Rabbits.
Zhao Hai noticed Laura's expression and quickly added, “Of course, I’m not asking them to do this for free. I can provide eight thousand Blue-eyed Rabbits each month. You can tell the meat processing plants that I will only charge for five thousand of the eight thousand Blue-eyed Rabbits, while the remaining three thousand can be counted as payment for the rabbit skins. Then you can deliver the rabbit skins to the leather processing plant. I can only take back five thousand skins, and the remaining three thousand can be considered their processing fee. How does that sound?”
Laura frowned and said, “Sir, if that's the case, there’s no problem at all. However, you would be at a loss.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “It’s fine. I only need fifteen thousand Blue-eyed Rabbit skins over the next three months. After three months, the transactions can revert to normal standards. I truly have use for those fifteen thousand rabbit skins.”
Laura nodded and said, “Alright then, it's settled. I will talk to them and try my best to secure more rabbit skins for you. When can you start producing Blue-eyed Rabbits here?”
