Novel Full Chapter 125 - Weaponize
After bidding farewell to the others, Zhang Qin Feng made his way back to his hotel room. His next appointment with Alice Moon will be at dinner time, around six in the evening.
Since there are around two hours to wait before meeting up, he decided to use this time to rest before going out for market research with Alice Moon tonight.
Plus, he needs to have some of his time alone. There are plenty of concerns in his mind right now.
'Stein,' Zhang Qin Feng called for the system after taking a five-minute break at the sofa.
[Yes, user?]
'Give me your suggestion about what we've discussed back in the golf club. What do you think about Carla Yu's presentation and the business idea she had in her mind?' Zhang Qin Feng asked. It seems that part of his worries is still at the discussion two days ago.
Nevertheless, to say, Carla Yu was well prepared on that day. All she was waiting for is the chance to approach Zhang Qin Feng and talked about the business. As for Howard, he was the middleman between the two.
Mentioning that brings Zhang Qin Feng back to that day...

"In your opinion, what do you think about the dietary product? I'm sure you heard about women complained they got fat all the time." Carla Yu said.
Carla Yu's example was just the same as what Wang Yufei talked about in their last conversation. He remembered that at that time, Wang Yufei was complaining that she got fatter as well. And right on the spot, she did not hesitate to change her food to a salad that sounded healthier than a noodle, bun, or seafood.
"I'm sure I can relate to that." Zhang Qin Feng smiled after hearing Carla Yu's sentence. The word they got fat was almost inescapable from a female's vocabulary in a talk.
"From my side, I have a team of nutritionists and also family background. But what I need was investors willing to let my side conduct our trials until we can push the product out."
"Our aim will be to introduce drinkable dietary products as food replacement. The main objective was to promote a healthier alternative to female customers with consciousness in their daily nutrition intake and appearance."
"What do you think from the information so far? Shall I continue?" Clara Yu made her first stop before she overwhelms Zhang Qin Feng with a wall of words and vision. Making a stop in between also allowed her to see how interested is Zhang Qin Feng on her presentation.
"Extremely detailed. It sounded interesting as well. But may I ask a question before we continue?" Zhang Qin Feng nodded and raised his thumb up to praise Clara Yu's professionalism. She seems informative with what she wanted to do, unlike Zhang Qin Feng with his instant noodles startup.
"Feel free to go ahead. I would like to know what you have in mind after listening." Clara Yu smiled while replying to Zhang Qin Feng.
"Based on what I've heard so far, I am curious how would the dietary supplement be. Will it is something like the protein milkshakes the nutritionist and bodybuilders take, or would it be mainly for diet purposes?" he asked.
It was a great question from his side. This concern actually matters because it would determine where the startup business will go.
"The former one. It will be a food replacement for those with health concerns. The market won't be limited to female consumers but also to the elderly and humanitarian." Clara Yu said.
"Now, I am getting more interested. Congratulation, your pitch was a successful one." Zhang Qin Feng replied.
"Let's continue, shall we?" Clara Yu said.
The three continued with the conversation. It was until Jun Minji's return that they stopped talking about business and focused on the food. By the time the cheese-baked lobster finally arrived at the table, Jun Minji changed as she eats without feeling embarrassed with her table manner.
"Young lady! Can't you handle your table manner a little here? We have friends, remember?" Clara Yu pinched Jun Minji's cheek while she stuffed herself with a whole lobster tail. The stringy cheese was still holding the meat and plate together when she got punished.
"Ah!!!" Jun Minji complained.

[The system believes that the dietary supplement drink Clara Yu suggesting has unlimited potential in many different fields. But since the system was evaluating this, it naturally fell to the side of the post-apocalypse conveniences]
Stein replied. There's no positive nor negative emotion in the reply as if the answer were generated.
'Explain the word post-apocalypse and convenience behind the reply.' Zhang Qin Feng added.
[Noted...]
-
[By the meaning of conveniences, the system believes that this drinkable solution could be the answer in replacement to the General Purpose Rations produced by the Substance and Matter Printer. As the user should know, the option of food in the post-apocalypse is limited]
'Yes. So far, only the soybean mutant plant is producing edible crops, correct?' Zhang Qin Feng replied.
[Correct. And to produce the General Purpose Ration, the Substance and Matter Printer had to work twice to create an edible product. This method is highly inefficient. For example, the flavoring problem, due to the restriction in available workstations]
'And the system suggestion is?' Zhang Qin Feng asked.
[Using the same concept from Carla Yu's product, food production with high nutritional value can be created effortlessly. Through the Wind Base's current production ability, liquid food can be produced alongside its container]
[As for other food items, they can be introduced slowly and made as consumables within the base. This would improve the trade volume in the establishment until enough resources are amassed for the system's upgrade]
[In short, the system believes that Carla Yu's business is worth "weaponizing" to the convenience for the post-apocalypse recovery plan]
'Alright. I got a rough idea about it." Zhang Qin Feng nodded after listening to Stein's explanation.
Same time, two rooms away from Zhang Qin Feng's hotel room.
This is where Howard was staying temporarily. And it seems that he was not the only one inside the room. He's in the middle of "boning" Carla Yu fiercely using the means he was born with.
"Why... Why are you so interested in getting this Zhang Qin Feng into this business idea that came from you?" she asked.
"Shh... Don't ask too much. Just focus on making this happen." Howard smiled.
