HLM – Chapter 920 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

The tour ended, and Coreman eagerly looked at Wang Bo and asked, “Mayor, how many pets are you planning to take home? I bet you want to buy everything. Look at how cute these little ones are.”

Wang Bo looked at him and smiled, “They are indeed cute, Mr. Coreman, but I don’t want to buy…”

“Are you joking with me?” Coreman’s face suddenly tightened. “Sakhalin, get the boys with the guns over here and give these gentlemen a proper welcome!”

Before Wang Bo could finish speaking, he was interrupted—and sure enough, some men came running over with shotguns.

Behind him, Bowen hurriedly tugged at his sleeve and whispered, “Boss, maybe don’t try any ‘empty-handed wolf’ trick today. These savages aren’t suitable for that, and we can’t always be thinking about taking advantage of people!”

Apparently, he thought Wang Bo had gotten addicted to successfully pulling off a no-cost deal with Horton Motor Company’s luxury buses.

Wang Bo rolled his eyes and quickly said, “Hey, Coreman, don’t worry, I actually have a better proposal!”

Coreman waved his hand, and the men with guns left again. He chuckled, “Of course, I’m not in a hurry. I was just joking.”

Wang Bo didn’t feel like laughing at a joke involving a gun pointed at him.

He indeed had a better idea. “Hey buddy, I don’t know why you chose this place for breeding livestock, but I think I can recommend a better location. How about it?”

“You mean… relocate my research base?”

“Yes!” Wang Bo said. “Exactly that. There’s a better place…”

Coreman laughed, squinting his eyes. “Mayor, the place you’re recommending is definitely somewhere in your town, right?”

Wang Bo said seriously, “We have a saying in China: ‘Promote the talented without avoiding relatives.’ The place I recommend is indeed in Sunset Town, but it’s absolutely the most suitable for keeping these pets.”

Coreman shook his head. “No, I like it here. Don’t dream too big, Mayor. You think you can take all my wealth without paying a price? Honestly, that’s a bit too good to be true.”

Wang Bo pointed to Koci. “If you don’t trust me, you can ask her. My ranches are famous worldwide, my land is perfect for animals, but what about your place? How’s it?”

Coreman slowly said, “My place isn’t famous at all, because I hate being famous. Do you think it would be hard to gain fame in New Zealand with these little cuties?”

Wang Bo said, “But then, how would you carry out your mini livestock–to–pet plan?”

Coreman blinked, momentarily speechless.

Wang Bo pressed his advantage. “If you want to carry out your plan, you need visibility. Without fame, there’s no topic, and few people will pay attention to your ideas. Sunset Town’s reputation—you should know about it. If not, you can check online now. Moving there will surely help.”

Coreman blinked again.

Just when Wang Bo thought he had convinced him, the man shrugged. “But I just don’t want to move. I think this place is fine.”

“And your view? These mini livestock will still be treated as meat animals.”

“Will you do that?” he asked.

Wang Bo naturally said, “Of course not. I’ll raise them as pets.”

“That’s enough. As for what others think, I can only say: truth is always truth. Foolish people will realize it sooner or later.”

Seeing how self-assured Coreman was, Wang Bo gave up trying to argue further.

Might as well make this simple—just pay for the mini beasts. He knew staying here any longer would be a waste of time.

From Wang Bo’s past livestock trading experience, except for breeding males, ordinary livestock females are usually more expensive because they can reproduce. But Coreman didn’t follow convention—male or female, the price was the same.

This was when Peterson’s value showed. Wang Bo let him handle the selection, prioritizing mini livestock that could serve as breeding males, and then taking the rest as females.

Mini donkeys cost 8,000 NZD each. Buying twenty came to 160,000 NZD.

Mini horses were the most expensive, 12,000 NZD each. Wang Bo bought twenty—five breeding males and fifteen females.

He only wanted twenty mini donkeys, and Peterson only had twenty mini horses for sale—the mini horses were the scarcest.

He also bought some mini sheep and mini pigs. As for the line snakes, he had no interest.

In total, he spent 2.8 million NZD, acquiring forty mini cows, over fifty mini sheep, and more than two hundred piglets.

When grown, the piglets would be about the size of rabbits. Wang Bo thought raising them would be fun—a herd of running pigs is more interesting than a herd of rabbits.

Like normal pigs, mini pigs had the strongest reproductive ability among these mini animals, naturally forming the largest populations.

Although it seemed he bought a lot, these little ones didn’t take up much space—a single trailer could carry them all.

Koci and Peterson accompanied the animals back to the ranch by vehicle. The journey across New Zealand took two days.

They first went by helicopter. Just as it landed, an unmanned aerial vehicle suddenly approached head-on. Charlie quickly pulled up the helicopter, narrowly avoiding a collision.

The helicopter shook violently. Wang Bo shouted, “What’s happening?!”

“A UAV! Damn it, almost hit the glass!” Charlie shouted angrily. “Shouldn’t we regulate these things?”

Wang Bo said, “Follow that UAV and see what’s going on!”

The UAV was white and relatively large. The helicopter had a camera, and Charlie took a photo and sent it back to the computer for zooming.

There were four lenses extending around the UAV. Wang Bo immediately realized it was a photography or videography drone, specifically for aerial shooting.

The popularization of drones has greatly lowered the threshold for aerial photography—reducing costs and increasing safety—allowing more aerial works to enter public view.

Years ago, photography enthusiasts and aspiring professionals could only dream of aerial shots. Now, with a bit of time and money, anyone could own a good UAV.

Wang Bo had seen such drones in China. Recently, at a classmate’s wedding, he noticed aerial footage and asked how it was filmed. He learned that many wedding companies in China had begun using UAVs for aerial shooting.
