After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Pre-packaged meals could be somewhat considered as ready-to-eat or canned food products.

Not only are they cheap, but they also come in a wide variety of flavors, which makes them extremely popular in the market.

In comparison, other processed foods seem somewhat lackluster.

Take the best-selling canned luncheon meat, for example; not only is its product range limited, but many food processing plants are also producing it, leading to an oversaturation in the market.

Moreover, to some extent, canned luncheon meat competes with products like sausages, further shrinking its market space.

Now that pre-packaged meal kits have entered the market, their impact is even greater, directly causing sales of products like canned luncheon meat to halve.

On the surface, these people have banded together against Third Pharmaceutical Factory, but their main target is likely Chen Yu's food industrial park.

A dangerous curve formed at the corner of Chen Yu's mouth. He had initially planned to negotiate with these people to transfer their factories, but now, it seemed that if he didn't play his cards right, it would be an injustice to their cunning.

Just then, a violent explosion suddenly sounded not far from there, with thick smoke billowing towards the heavens, quickly plunging the area into darkness.

Chen Yu's eyes widened. The factory that exploded seemed to be a fuel plant that, aside from the new type of fuel, also stored a large amount of traditional fuel.

If all the fuel were to catch fire, the entire industrial park might well plunge into disaster.

Most crucially, there was a large battery factory near the fuel plant.

If that factory were to explode as well, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chen Yu almost instinctively pushed all other plans in his mind aside and hastily instructed Hou Jianchang to call out all the fire brigade personnel in the industrial park.

A somewhat stout man lay half-prostrate in front of the fuel factory, as if burnt out.

This was his life's savings, and he had not expected such a disaster to occur.

This man had previously been among those threatening Chen Yu, and his remarks had been particularly offensive.

Chen Yu merely glanced at him before leading his team directly into the inferno.

In the current situation, there was no time to consider the consequences of the explosion; the top priority was to rescue the workers trapped inside the factory.

But the place was extremely dangerous, and no one could guarantee when the next explosion might occur.

[On the right, Building Three, floor four, there are seventeen trapped individuals.]

[To the left, Factory Area One, there are forty-eight trapped individuals.]

...

A large amount of information continued to flash in Chen Yu's mind. Relying on the information provided by the system, he tirelessly rescued the trapped individuals from inside.

Before long, professional firefighters also arrived at the scene, immediately throwing the most advanced fire extinguishers into the fire.

Before they arrived, Chen Yu's firefighting personnel had already brought the fire under control, and as soon as the professionals arrived, they took appropriate measures and soon extinguished the blaze.

[Congratulations to the host, you have gained twelve points.]

[Congratulations to the host, you have gained seventeen points.]

...

Chen Yu had already lost much interest in these continuously accumulating points.

Ever since the system was upgraded, it had become merely an auxiliary device that would only appear when absolutely necessary, and the way to accumulate points was incredibly difficult.

Today, having rescued so many people from the fire scene, the total points earned were still less than three hundred.

He sighed helplessly, and Chen Yu was about to leave with his fire brigade when the obese man suddenly leaped up and grabbed his arm.

"Mr. Chen, I have something to discuss with you, could you consider buying my factory at half price? Everything inside would be all yours," the man said.

Chen Yu frowned involuntarily, glancing back at the factory area subconsciously.

Although the fire had been controlled, more than half of the factory was in ruins, with many facilities unusable. Even buying at half price seemed like a loss.

Moreover, among those people earlier, it was this man who had slandered Chen Yu the most; he had no reason to be the good guy here.

"Sorry, I'm really not interested! Since so many bosses came today, you can discuss it with them, maybe someone will want to buy your factory at full price!" he said.

He mocked the man deliberately and then strode away without looking back.

Speaking of which, this factory was the closest to the Third Pharmaceutical Factory. If he could acquire it, it would allow for easy expansion into the surrounding area, making the building of an industrial park much more convenient.

However, to implement such a business plan required many more essential conditions, and besides, Chen Yu had his own price in mind for the acquisition of the fuel factory.

Just after returning to the Third Pharmaceutical Factory, Chen Yu was preparing to visit the laboratory.

In this period, under Hou Jianchang's management, the factory had recruited quite a few research personnel and had developed several new medications based on the formulas provided by Chen Yu.

But just as Chen Yu was about to inspect, the obese man from earlier came running over in a panic.

"Mr. Chen, I'm willing to halve the price I mentioned earlier. Could you please consider buying this factory?" he pleaded.

Chen Yu had anticipated the man's visit. "Mr. Xu, your factory is in such a state, the priority should be aid for the injured and rebuilding the facilities; why are you in such a rush to sell the factory?"

Although the question was posed very seriously, a flash of embarrassment crossed Mr. Xu's face.

His factory had suffered serious damages, and just the medical care for the injured and the rebuilding of facilities would cost a significant sum of money.

Regrettably, in an attempt to save money during the construction of his factory, he had skimped on the insurance coverage.

With today's incident, the insurance company was unlikely to pay out in full, meaning he would have to shoulder all the losses caused by the fire.

If that were the case, he would have no option but to declare bankruptcy and might even end up with massive debts.

His only strategy now was to transfer ownership of the factory as soon as possible to protect himself.

Chen Yu sat down on the steps nearby.

"Mr. Xu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but how do I know there won't be any trouble after taking over this factory?"

Mr. Xu's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his entire demeanor turned frantic.

He sighed with resignation and laid out all the documents related to the factory before Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, I beg you, please save me. In this industrial area, you're the only one who can save me, and you're also the only one who can prepare the paperwork for transferring the factory ownership within a day," he said.

With that, Mr. Xu presented all the official stamps and seals of his factory, pushing them towards Chen Yu.
