Leveling Up With My Pet-Chapter 373 The Opportunity!

373 The Opportunity!

As the door creaked open, Liu Yong's eyes widened in surprise when he saw that it was none other than Qiu Yang, his trusted associate. However, the shock was quickly replaced with a warm smile.

"It's just in time," Liu Yong greeted, gesturing for Qiu Yang to come in. "I was about to call you over."

With a respectful nod, Qiu Yang entered the room, holding a stack of evaluation materials about the Xinpeng Special Steel Smelting Plant.

"Boss, I sent you the latest evaluation materials. The professionals have conducted another assessment, and this one is more accurate and valuable than the last."

Qiu Yang carefully observed his boss's reactions while handing the documents to Liu Yong. Liu Yong smiled once more, setting the information aside.

"It's no longer needed," he said, his tone filled with satisfaction.

"What?"

The unexpected response took aback Qiu Yang. His mind raced, wondering if someone else had already acquired the Xinpeng Special Steel Smelter. However, he dismissed the thought after seeing Liu Yong's content expression.

Could the boss have already taken down the Xinpeng Special Steel Smelter? The idea struck him, leaving him amazed at the boss's prowess.

Liu Yong had recently visited the Xinpeng Special Steel Smelting Plant, and Qiu Yang was aware of this. He knew that it had only been about three hours since Liu Yong left and returned, making it practically impossible to finalize a deal worth two to three billion yuan in such a short time.

Seeing the puzzlement on Qiu Yang's face, Liu Yong clarified, "Don't overthink it. Yes, I've already acquired the Xinpeng Special Steel Smelter, and the transaction price was 2.72 billion yuan."

Qiu Yang's expression turned incredulous. He knew that professionals had conducted detailed assessments, and their consensus was that the value of the Xinpeng Special Materials Factory was around 3 billion, with the minimum not being lower than 2.95 billion. The factory had been sold for 2.72 billion. It was beyond belief!

"How did you manage that?" Qiu Yang couldn't hide his astonishment. "The boss's skills are truly extraordinary!"

After a brief shock, Qiu Yang regained his composure, and an even more apparent surprise adorned his face. "Boss, I never expected you to repurchase this factory for only 2.72 billion yuan. That's incredible."

Liu Yong beamed with satisfaction. "Indeed, it's an ideal price. We've struck a tremendous bargain. I've already discussed some details with Li Xinpeng. Now, it's up to you to sign the formal contract on behalf of the group."

With meticulousness, Liu Yong explained the situation in greater detail. He assured Qiu Yang that he would not need to go in person for the subsequent matters. Instead, the Global Shipping Group would deploy a professional team to handle the remaining formalities and finalize the contract.

Shortly after, Qiu Yang walked out of Liu Yong's office, his heart brimming with happiness. He would personally oversee and arrange all the follow-up tasks.

Once Qiu Yang had left, Liu Yong turned his attention to Bawang, a trusted companion with whom he could openly discuss his strategies and plans.

Bawang, a mighty and enigmatic being, had taken up residence in this oceanic expanse, dedicating itself to an extraordinary purpose – growth and each passing day witnessed its incredible expansion, with a remarkable daily increase of two to three tons, inching ever closer to the astounding milestone of 1,000 tons.

Within this ethereal realm, a voice echoed through the vastness, resonating with an air of authority. "Overlord, I have a task for you," spoke Liu Yong, the master of this magnificent creature.

Without hesitation, Bawang responded with unwavering loyalty, "Boss, just tell me what you desire, and it shall be done."

With utmost clarity, Liu Yong conveyed his request: "Journey to a relatively shallow sea, at least 500 nautical miles away from the spaceship wreckage. Once you find a suitable location, relocate all the grey and black metal scattered near the wreckage to that spot."

In the remains of the spaceship's breach lay a treasure trove of metal fragments amounting to tens of thousands of tons. These seemingly inconsequential pieces were highly coveted in the market, fetching an astonishing 2 million per ton price. Liu Yong's acquisition of the Xinpeng Special Steel Smelter was precisely to harness the potential of these metallic remnants, refining them into steel ingots, sheets, bars, and various other forms.

The grand plan was in motion, with the smelting plant awaiting its precious raw materials. Yet, the daunting challenge remained – transporting the massive haul back to its destined location.

To tackle this endeavour, Liu Yong devised a strategic plan. Bawang, his most reliable asset, was tasked with locating an appropriate site nearby. It was no simple feat, as the chosen spot had to strike a delicate balance – far enough from the spaceship wreckage to ensure its safety and yet not too distant, as it would necessitate laborious efforts to ferry such an immense volume of metal.

Responding to the task, Bawang declared, "Master, I shall set forth immediately and update you once I have found the ideal location."

"Go ahead, and I await your tidings," Liu Yong replied, acknowledging the diligence and capability of his trusted companion.

With unwavering resolve, Bawang embarked on its Journey, wielding its colossal spear as it dove into the ocean's depths. Its initial speed was awe-inspiring, covering almost 500 nautical miles in one breath, soaring at 350 knots. Then, the pace subsided, and Bawang commenced its search for the perfect site.

The criteria were precise – shallow waters ranging from 30 to 50 meters, a serene seabed free from complexities such as reefs, corals, and seaweeds. Bawang's keen eyes scanned the underwater panorama as it glided through the crystalline waters, meticulously scrutinizing each potential location.

After an arduous two hours, Bawang's unwavering perseverance bore fruit – it had found the optimal location. The sea floor here was a gently undulating plane of fine sand, bountifully devoid of obstructions. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑜𝘳𝘨

Taking the initiative to communicate with Liu Yong, Bawang inquired, "Master, what do you make of this place?"

Observing the surroundings from a distance vantage point, Liu Yong assessed the situation and replied, "This place is perfect. Your next task is transporting all the metal fragments to this site and laying them on the seabed."

"Understood, Master," affirmed Bawang, ready to execute its mission with the precision and dedication that had come to define its very being.

After diligently finalizing the chosen location, Bawang knew the upcoming endeavour would demand unwavering dedication. His mission? To transport an enormous quantity of metal fragments, totalling tens of thousands of tons.

The metal fragments were diverse; some were vast and formidable, easily weighing four or five thousand tons, while others were comparably smaller, ranging from a few tons to mere tens of kilograms.

Undeterred, Bawang set about the Herculean task of moving all the transportable metal fragments, ensuring they found their new home in the shallow sea. The strategic plan was devised in close collaboration with Liu Yong, who had committed to dispatching a boat capable of safely conveying all the recovered metal fragments from the seabed to their destination.

Bawang had already pledged a staggering supply of 50,000 tons of super metals to the military, reserved exclusively for their purposes. With this responsibility firmly on his shoulders, he earnestly hoped that these newly acquired metal fragments would be efficiently transported back to the esteemed Xinpeng Special Steel Smelter for processing. Once refined, these valuable materials would find their way into the hands of the military, as initially promised.

Undaunted by the challenge, Bawang embarked on his Journey as a dutiful guest porter, laboriously carrying the shattered remains of the spacecraft's metal near the gaping hole where it lay in ruins. The distance was formidable, stretching across a vast expanse of 500 nautical miles, and each laborious trip took two to three painstaking hours to complete. Yet, propelled by determination, Bawang transported several hundred tons of metal fragments in each round.

While Bawang toiled relentlessly, the colossal "Blue Whale" salvage ship, owned by the prestigious Global Shipping Group, sailed purposefully towards the sea area he had meticulously chosen. This enormous vessel was a renowned expert in seabed salvage, equipped to handle the task with utmost precision and skill.

Fortunately, the targeted seabed area was uncomplicated, presenting a favourable water depth of only 30 to 50 meters. Liu Yong's unwavering confidence in the "Blue Whale" left little doubt that the mission would be executed flawlessly, ensuring the salvage of all those invaluable metal fragments.
