Reborn as the Genius Son of the Richest Family

Chapter 284: Creation of the truck stop

Once the agreement was finalized, Barcus immediately introduced Michael to all the resources of Barcus Inc.

”I own this entire farmland,” Barcus said to Michael as they both looked over a huge plain field that had plenty of crops being tended by farmers. ”I own about 64% of all the fertile land in the Grafted Cluster, allowing me to be a majority provider of all produce in this region.”

Now that he was a subsidiary company for the Reborn company, Michael could now take full advantage of these farmlands to create local products for the Grafted Cluster.

”This will be perfect for the truck stops. I have a feeling that this place will be the provider for all the restaurants and taverns that are to be constructed there.”

Since the Nation of Reborn was too far away here from the Grafted Cluster, it was much better if the products made here were made with local products.

”Iʼll have my agriculture specialists inspect all your farmland. I am sure that they can help you improve the yield for the crops this season.”

Michael instructed the Rebornians to send a team from the Agriculture Department from the Nation of Reborn.

In order to speed up the process, Michael personally transported them from the Parched Lands over to the Grafted Cluster through his shadow transportation skill.

The farming team consisted of Lamias, Satyrs, and a lot of Yellow Mankeys. Their leader bowed to Michael and Barcus before immediately using their innate skills and spells to check the current state of the farmlands.

”The moisture in the soil is not ideal, boss. Weʼll need to set up a proper irrigation system to maximize the crops weʼll grow this season. Boss, do we have permission to use magic to enhance the soil?”

Michael nodded, and the Farming team immediately created perfectly fertilized soil in a matter of a few minutes. Not only that, but with the help of a few Engineers, they were able to create an automatic irrigation system that cut the workersʼ burden by at least half, allowing them to plant more crops in a day!

Barcus watched all of this unfold with shock and awe. He thought that the Reborn company specialized only in metallurgy and armor making. After all, that was what they were famous for back in Angora City. But the techniques the Rebornian farmers showed today were futuristic at the very least!

After the farmlands were done being inspected, Michael and Barcus then went on to look at the livestock in their possession.

There were large farms containing at least a thousand cows spread across three large plains, five hundred sheep near two mountains, and about three thousand chickens being raised in coops. That was just one of the regions managed by Barcus Inc.

All of these natural resources made Michael realize how Barcus reached rank #487th in the entire world. He was a big provider in food and nourishment for the entire Grafted Cluster.

”We also gain most of our income through exporting to other cities and territories that do not have a lot of space,” Barcus explained. ”Angora City is one of those, but we are only limited to that city because the meat would often spoil after a long time of transport.”

Michael smiled. ”Not anymore,” he said. With the modern techniques of food preservation as well as the fast transportation times of the automobile trucks, Barcus Inc. could increase their sphere of trade by a very large margin.

With the help of the more established Barcus Inc., Reborn company was able to much more smoothly spread the Golden Road through the Grafted Cluster.

About 13 of the 28 territories were finally connected to the Golden Road, with each one easily adopting the ways of the Reborn way of life. For example, comfort.

Before Reborn introduced themselves to the Grafted Cluster, the natives of this region were a lot more isolated within each other. Not only that, but they simply depended on naturally grown produce from their own backyard to sustain themselves.

But with the Golden Road and the construction of Reborn stores in each territory, these citizens were quickly introduced to easy commerce.

They need food? They no longer had to hunt their own livestock to survive. They could just purchase preserved meat from the Reborn stores. They need water? They could just pump up water underground using Reborn water pumps installed in every home!
