Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi arrived at the trestle bridge and found that Duke Beidu's warship had already docked.

"Good news, Mr. Zhou."

Duke Beidu's voice was filled with joy: "After the war, I went to various places to find sales channels for Mushroom Houses. Because the chaotic winter has just ended, many places need to be rebuilt and repaired, now is a good time."

"Among the places I visited and negotiated with, four regions have shown great interest and confirmed their intention to purchase Mushroom Houses from us."

"They are Glassburg, with a population of 80,000, Cotton Hemp Land, with a permanent population of 70,000, Tree Monster Territory, with 40,000 residents, and Fanyun City, with 37,000 people. In total, there are 240,000 potential buyers."

Zhou Yi sighed, "You're really efficient."

"It should be, after all, Beike City also gets a share as long as the Mushroom Houses are sold."

Duke Beidu continued, "However, there is one more region with a major dispute, and I can't make a decision. I have to ask for your opinion."

"The Shuanghe region also wants to purchase Mushroom Houses in bulk. What do you think about this..."

Zhou Yi immediately said, "Sell them, why not? The war is over, and there is no difference between customers. The Shuanghe region has a population of 650,000, which has great potential."

Duke Beidu seemed relieved: "If you agree, then I will formally discuss the Mushroom House transaction with them."

"There is still an important issue at the moment, and that's how to price them. I'm not sure."

As the two were talking.

Bone Man Sun Chonglai finally arrived.

"Chairman, Duke Beidu, I'm late, I'm so sorry."

Today, he was wearing a plaid long-sleeved shirt, wide-leg pants, and leather boots, with a denim scarf around his neck.

His attire was still meticulous.

"You've come at the right time."

Duke Beidu said, "Tell Mr. Zhou about the technical updates. Today's Mushroom Houses are different from the past."

Bone Man chuckled: "Chairman, before, the Mushroom Houses had a relatively obvious drawback, which was security and anti-theft."

"After repeated testing, we have now found a solution."

"As long as you plant the Giant Mushroom and wait for two months, its fiber layer will become thick and dense, making it difficult to enter from below. Only the cap part is relatively thin, and you can directly enter it again from there, but the position is high, and you need a rope ladder to climb up."

"Then we found a local Beike City spiky bramble and cultivated it in large quantities. Wrapping it around the surface of the Giant Mushroom forms a natural thorn wall, preventing thieves from climbing."

Zhou Yi said, "This method is good, simple and effective."

"Chairman, the Mushroom House residents in Beike City also reported another problem, which is excrement separation and garbage disposal."

Bone Man continued, "Although the Giant Mushroom can digest and absorb many substances as fertilizer, if they are discarded inside, the rotten smell of excrement and residual garbage is difficult to eliminate quickly and will last for a long time. So, considering the actual needs, we imitated Emerald City and made improvements."

Sun Chonglai looked around, pointed to a Giant Mushroom not far away, and said, "Look, that's what our upgraded Mushroom House looks like."

Zhou Yi saw a small Giant Mushroom below the Giant Mushroom, only about two meters high.

He immediately understood, "Toilet?"

"Yes! Chairman. This was also inspired by the combination of large and small, tall and short Mushroom Houses during the war. After a Giant Mushroom grows, slice it and divide it, and plant another one next to it. Because of insufficient nutrients, the height will be suppressed, and we call it a Conjoined Side Mushroom."

Bone Man said happily, "The side mushroom next to it is used specifically for defecation, and you don't have to be afraid of wind and rain. The feces can be collected as fertilizer or directly absorbed by the Giant Mushroom. In fact, they are one."

"The conjoined system also allows Mushroom Houses to have more expansion."

"For example, we can build a side mushroom as a warehouse, or directly transform it into a shop, opening a hole to sell goods to the outside."

"To ensure the stability of the conjoined plant, we will lay a fungal blanket. The fungal blanket can stabilize the living environment, and allow the mycelium of the Giant Mushroom as roots to extend further and become more tenacious."

Zhou Yi nodded as he listened.

This series of improvements makes the Mushroom House more and more like a permanent residence.

"Our next direction is more comfort and supporting upgrades."

Bone Man spoke eloquently: "Chairman, we are currently screening out some foreign mushroom species. Some have fragrance, some can repel insects, some can dehumidify... These are all things we will do next."

Zhou Yi was very satisfied.

After Sun Chonglai finished his technical report, Duke Beidu spoke again.

"Mr. Zhou, I will continue to talk about the sale of Mushroom Houses."

"Originally, the cheapest houses in various towns were underground caves, but the conditions were harsh and prone to various diseases. The houses on the ground vary in price depending on the region, but overall, the price of the most ordinary houses is about half the annual income of the locals."

"Because the consumption of food and fuel is high every year, ordinary people in various towns don't have much savings, and it usually takes several years to save enough money to buy a house."

"Mr. Zhou, what I'm thinking is that the price of Mushroom Houses should not be too high, and the price should fluctuate around the annual income of the locals. Because after the conjoined plant, our supporting facilities are now very good, which has a huge advantage compared to ordinary houses."

He said, "I plan to offer two different types of houses."

"The first is existing houses, that is, we build Mushroom Houses in selected areas. After two months of maturity, we sell them to the locals, so that residents can move in immediately."

"The second is pre-sale houses, which can be a little cheaper. The advantage is that you can choose the location, but the disadvantage is that there are no special technicians watching, and they may not grow as expected."

"What do you think?"

Zhou Yi thought about it.

He said: "Don't be so expensive, we must follow the company's people-friendly pricing strategy. Our Mushroom Houses do not cost much, and the most important thing at the moment is to make Mushroom Houses affordable for most people."

"We must not only be cheaper than market houses, but also lower than them. We will set the price at the average local income for 3 months, so as to ensure that there are more audiences and residents."

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Duke Beidu hesitated a little: "Isn't this a bit too cheap? Although the cost is low, the research and development of the Mushroom Forest has consumed a lot of resources, and this is also the company's unique technology."

"Take a long-term view."

Zhou Yi enlightened him and said, "What we are doing is mass commodities. Let everyone live in Mushroom Houses first, and then the Mushroom House building type will be spread out? The current advantage is to quickly expand the influence and send Mushroom Houses to thousands of households."

"On this basis, we can develop more varieties in the future. Improved Mushroom Houses, Mushroom House courtyards, Mushroom House villas, these focus on living comfort and higher quality."

"Everyone must first get used to and use Mushroom Houses before gradually considering upgrading the supporting facilities and replacing them with better high-end products. In the future, we will have a steady stream of buyers, and it will be difficult for other practitioners to compete with us in this regard."

Duke Beidu was stunned for a moment: "So that's what you think. Indeed, if this is regarded as an industry, housing is indeed a basic building that is needed everywhere."

Bone Man Sun Chonglai agreed very much: "What the chairman said is right, Mushroom Houses are just the beginning. There will be new mushroom facilities and tools in the future, which are cheap and practical, and everyone will accept them better."

"I see."

Duke Beidu said, "Then the price of an ordinary Mushroom House will be around 6,000 to 9,000 mushrooms."

Zhou Yi said, "Just adjust it according to the local situation."

……

Not long after this discussion, orders from all parties poured in like snowflakes.

The first order came from the Tree Monster Territory in the south. Duke Shuhuan directly ordered 200 Mushroom Houses, including 50 existing houses and 150 pre-sale houses. The local area is inhabited by tree monsters that can produce a lot of wood, and the soil is also very suitable for growing mushrooms.

The second order was for 240 Mushroom Houses in Cotton Hemp Land.

Then there were 175 Mushroom Houses in Fanyun City and 320 Mushroom Houses in Glassburg.

The Shuanghe region even bought 700 Mushroom Houses to be placed outside the core SH city for low-priced provision to local residents who cannot afford housing.

However, all regions purchase through centralized procurement and prohibit the Development Alliance from directly selling Mushroom Houses to the locals.

The reason is simple.

"Those territorial sea lords are afraid that Mushroom Houses will impact the local housing industry and cause stonemasons, laborers, and other construction laborers to lose their jobs. Because Mushroom Houses are too cheap, they will cause the price of urban housing to decrease, causing panic among merchants and related professionals."

Duke Beidu was also helpless when talking about this.

"The price of Mushroom Houses in the hands of residents will be higher than we expected. But even so, it is much lower than the price of traditional wooden houses and stone houses."

"Fortunately, Sun Chonglai helped cultivate a group of human Mushroom House architects. They have mastered the skills of planting and maintenance. Just cut slices from the Mushroom Forest. People from Beike City can go directly to the destination to complete planting and placement."

"I have sent the latest list to Red Falcon. Currently, 1,741 Mushroom Houses have been sold, with a total revenue of 13,057,021 mushrooms, which is 13 light seeds. Although it is not much, it is already a good start, and the five major regions are still adding a lot of purchases."

He also said: "Also, the Heavenly Kingdom is also very interested in Mushroom Houses and bought 3,000 in the first phase."

The Wasteland Development Company's real estate, which is just starting, is currently in good shape and well received.

Duke Beidu's vision and operational capabilities are also excellent.

Zhou Yi was completely relieved.

And at the beginning of this summer, Building 8 woke up.
