Chapter 434: The Long White Pigs Are Finally Ready for Market!

Over the next few days, Viscount Roster’s rebuttals became increasingly sharp.

He basically always revolved around several points.

One: Who’s going to buy all that steel?

Two: Is steel really that valuable? How many people actually doing business can afford such expensive steel?

Three: Everyone says they’ll use steel for all kinds of projects—where are the projects? Where are the results?

If someone else questioned these points, actually nobody would care.

But Viscount Roster was different.

Everyone knew Viscount Roster was the biggest steel consumer.

Tons of magic-powered machinery, tons of infrastructure—all requiring real investment.

He was also the person who could use this steel to create the highest value.

But even someone like him was questioning steel prices and steel sales, so inevitably people would have some doubts.

However, the destructive power of these words ultimately wasn’t that great.

Because other people also had many ways to refute.

Actuary Johnny’s rebuttal points were also simple. Viscount Roster was just one person—he couldn’t be everywhere, so naturally didn’t know about other places’ situations.

Also, although Viscount Roster had many projects and needed to use large amounts of steel, everyone thought he used more steel than anyone else.

But that was just one-on-one comparison.

What about many-on-one?

How many nobles were there in this world?

Right now, the traditional land investment method had failed. Nobody would hoard land anymore.

So for these traditional nobles, how could they achieve wealth growth?

Without a doubt, through various changes.

Stock investment, bond investment, futures investment—these new investment methods were naturally fine, but everyone knew these carried risks.

So would nobles accustomed to almost risk-free investing really be willing to put their money into these relatively risky projects?

That was impossible.

Nobles preferred sure profits.

How could they guarantee profit?!

Obviously—invest in factories.

They could plant cotton on their land, then establish cotton textile factories. The cotton cloth they produced could be sold for more profit.

They could dig mines on their territory and smelt the ore—still guaranteed profit.

Besides that, there were many, many different kinds of investments. Suppose a noble was in a big city now, lots of factories had appeared around them, residents naturally increased too—wouldn’t they build new-style houses?

Those new houses needed way more steel.

Forget everything else—didn’t the new-style houses near the City of Gold consume tons of steel?

Honestly, just think about it carefully. Establishing your own factory—wouldn’t you need to buy all kinds of machinery and equipment from Viscount Roster?

If there really was only this much, how could Viscount Roster not know?

As for those new-style houses, besides the sphere of influence of the Church of Technology, weren’t they only built near the City of Gold?

Actually, steel really wasn’t being used on a large scale. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

But they only wanted to believe what they wanted to believe.

No matter how well the other side argued, they wouldn’t believe it.

In this situation, what Viscount Roster said would only become rhetoric protecting his own interests.

Especially when some nobles, after seeing Actuary Johnny defend himself, released tons of fake construction site photos to help him, the bow was drawn even tighter.

Everyone thought Viscount Roster was gradually losing his composure in the argument. But who could imagine that Viscount Roster just casually said a few things and had News Bird Megan write the press releases.

He didn’t even spend more than 10 minutes a day on this.

Everything was within his expectations.

When those nobles put their entire fortunes on steel futures, everything was already decided.

They had to defend all of it.

As for those people swept along who also started buying steel futures, if their brains were still somewhat normal, they’d probably already cashed out when Viscount Roster first published his article.

Those who hadn’t cashed out, if they were clear-headed, were definitely looking for opportunities to get out.

The remaining people had long since been blinded by profit.

They had no intention of thinking about right or wrong.

They’d just mindlessly support their own ideas, support Actuary Johnny, frantically brainwash themselves and those around them, until everyone around them was the same.

They’d probably get even crazier.

And today.

The online battle continued.

But Viscount Roster came to a livestock farm.

This was one of the ten major livestock farms where Southern Development Corporation cooperated with agricultural production, and also the one closest to Viscount Roster’s residence.

After a long wait, the first batch of Long White Pigs—transformed and cultivated by the Goddess of Agriculture, growing 2-4 extra ribs—had reached standard market time.

Many people gathered here today. There was Viscount Roster, the Southern Agriculture Archbishop, reporters from World Economic News Agency, and some other famous figures.

Honestly, quite a few of these people had also bet on steel futures. There was "hatred" between them and Viscount Roster.

Viscount Roster’s words were like needles, daily stabbing at their very livelihoods.

But face to face, naturally they couldn’t bring this up. Each one acted like nothing was wrong.

Some things were suitable for public discussion, others very much weren’t.

Looking around and confirming that all the guests he’d invited had arrived, Viscount Roster said with a smile:

"I believe everyone has learned from my invitation the purpose of inviting you here today."

"The important meat source the Goddess of Agriculture has granted us mortals, the God-given Long White Pigs, will be marketed for the first time today."

"Calculated from when the piglets came into this world, a full 160 days have passed. During these 160 days, we strictly followed the breeding methods the Goddess of Agriculture taught."

"Today will be when we witness how much these Long White Pigs can weigh under standard breeding time, how much meat they can produce, and whether they’re suitable for large-scale popularization!"

Currently, the common pig in this world was a black-haired pig. This kind of pig usually needed about 300 to 360 days of breeding before market.

Just this point alone—as long as the Long White Pig’s weight and meat yield weren’t too bad, it would definitely become an excellent meat source.

After all, in the same time, you could raise two batches, and if you operated well, there’d even be some extra time.

Even if it was half the size, couldn’t the meat it provided still break even?

Just the time factor already shocked many people present!
