Super Invincible Battleship-Chapter 164 - 107 The 2nd Application _3
Chapter 164: Chapter 107 The 2nd Application _3
The Auxiliary Brain had already deciphered the technology for adding Skin Antibodies to the Immune System. However, the medicine used to deliver these antibodies was not yet perfected, with certain side effects still present. The Auxiliary Brain was now optimizing this medicine, aiming to enhance its effectiveness while completely eliminating side effects for perfect utilization.
To reap more economic benefits, Yan Fei decided to customize antibody addition based on different skin areas. For instance, antibodies tailored for the skin around the eyes, facial, hands, feet, scar diminishment, Facial Freckle Removal, Skin Whitening, and Parasite removal among others. Once the technology extrapolation system of the Auxiliary Brain worked out the specific techniques for regional antibody addition according to these requirements, Yan Fei would possess a full set of cosmetics technology, becoming an absolute sovereign of the cosmetics market. After the success of the Weight Loss Cookies, Dream Technology was poised to introduce another golden goose. Compared to the cookies, this direct application of Immune System technology on skin held broader and more profound applications with an even larger market. It had the potential to significantly enhance the influence of Dream Technology.
Although the technology was still in its infancy and it wasn’t known when it would be perfected, Yan Fei could prepare in advance. Thus, he instructed Lu Pingping to acquire a cosmetics production Factory nearby Shanghai, preparing for the potential product manufacturing.
With her previous experiences, Lu Pingping didn’t find Yan Fei’s request surprising but was instead very excited, as this signified that the Company would soon release a brand-new product. She started to scout Factories around Shanghai to find a suitable target.
On another front, Lu Pingping also started contacting the Shanghai Municipal Government, proposing plans to buy a plot of land in the city area to construct the Company’s super skyscraper. However, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping were disappointed to learn that the urban development of Shanghai was so mature that there were no large parcels of land available. Purchasing small plots from various owners not only faced the possibility of exorbitant prices, but also the issue of holdouts. Their skyscraper project could fail if even one owner was unwilling to sell.
Hence, Yan Fei adjusted his aim. Settling for the second best, he looked towards the Suburbs of Shanghai and no longer insisted on undeveloped land. He then discovered an unfinished 45-story building on the eastern outskirts of Shanghai. This large Unfinished Building halted construction due to the sudden rupture in funding from the sponsor. While other Enterprises had intended to take over the land and the Unfinished Building, they had to abandon the idea after site inspections.
The entire building was designed to the highest standards. Despite having only 45 floors, the building was 240 meters tall with a total area of 250,000 square meters. Chosen materials for the construction were of the highest standards, amounting to a staggering cost of 8 billion RMB, not including decoration expenses. To put this in perspective, the tallest skyscraper in Shanghai, the Shanghai City Center Building, stands at 632 meters and cost only 14.8 billion RMB. Since building costs exponentially increase with height, spending 8 billion on a 45-story building was seen as an extravagant expense.
Even if Yan Fei had to construct a new 45-story building from scratch, the cost wouldn’t exceed 1 billion. Hence, when potential buyers learned that the construction cost of this building reached 8 billion, they immediately withdrew their interest.
When Yan Fei and Lu Pingping learned about this building, they initially visited out of curiosity but found that it met their requirements unexpectedly well. Yan Fei became interested and promptly invited architectural experts to inspect the building. The inspection revealed the building materials were indeed of the highest standard and value, though one couldn’t claim the building was the sturdiest in the World, it would withstand earthquakes below 9 on the Richter scale without collapsing. Even if it were hit by a Bomb during a war, only partial damage would occur, rather than a complete collapse.
The experts involved in the inspection praised the building’s quality, declaring they had never encountered a more solid construction in their lives. These expert assessments gave Yan Fei immense confidence. If he were to construct such a building himself, it would require at least two years. And considering his demands for quality would be similar, the investment was likely to be on par with this half-finished skyscraper. Seeing this as an opportunity, he became keen on acquiring it.
Thus, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping quietly conferred.
Yan Fei asked, “Pingping, how much cash does our Company have on hand right now?”
Lu Pingping didn’t need to consult any records, as she knew the data by heart, “The Company struggled initially with sales, but later achieved a rapid breakthrough. In the past ten days or so, daily sales have exceeded 50,000 boxes, and over the past three days, that figure has stabilized at over 100,000 boxes per day. This means we’re bringing in at least 200 million RMB daily. Since the Company hasn’t made any significant investments recently, the previous turnover has barely been touched, leaving us with 6.7 billion RMB in cash right now.”
Yan Fei was astounded, he hadn’t expected the Company’s account to hold so much money. He had always been somewhat lax; though he did study management for a while at Lu Pingping’s behest, he couldn’t stick with it, and eventually all matters reverted back to Lu Pingping. He only occasionally checked the account balance and would secretly revel in the figures for a bit, not realizing that in just a few days, the balance had increased so significantly.

Yesterday’s Chapter 106 featured several repetitions, was continuously blocked, and kept needing modifications, which left me exhausted both physically and mentally, with even my writing rhythm disrupted. There are mines everywhere, requiring me to tread carefully. Therefore, today there is only one update, but with a word count of 5000+, which could count as two updates for someone else. I hope for your understanding!
