Opening her eyes, Chen Hong was reborn. She was reborn just before she was about to take her children back to her parents' home. Not wanting to live a life of looking at others' faces for a...
Let alone two jin a year, we wouldn't even get two liang a year. Remember, we're just ordinary people. No matter how rich we are, some things can't be solved with money.
Think about it, not even going further up the chain, just in the Jiaodong region and Weihai City alone, this little bit of tea can't even get out.
After all, a county magistrate is not as powerful as a county official! The government office remains, but the officials come and go. In the end, who will benefit from these tea trees? Nobody can say for sure!
Chen Hong, since you discovered the tea tree, I, Lao Wang, have an idea for you.
Before anyone notices, we should quickly find a way to lease the entire mountain. Perhaps we should plant something else on it to avoid attracting attention.
Chen Hong feigned nonchalance and said, "Isn't that unnecessary? They're just a few wild tea trees growing in a deep mountain valley. How could they be so precious?"
Mr. Wang was a little anxious: "Of course it's necessary! Actually, if you ask me, we should first see if we can find some tea trees in the mountains, cultivate a batch of them, and see how the quality differs from that of the mother trees."
If the difference isn't too big, then you're in luck! You can turn the mountains into tea plantations, and as long as the quality is similar to the mother trees, you won't have to worry about selling any amount of tea!
Chen Hong smiled sheepishly, her words extinguishing President Wang's grand plans.
"Mr. Wang, last year I tried your tea tree cuttings, root division, and transplanting, and tried several methods, but this year not a single one survived."
Moreover, the snow disaster in Rongcheng this year also killed or damaged some tea trees, otherwise this year's yield would not be so low.
I've thought about it carefully, and the delicious taste of this tea might be related to the harsh environment and extremely low temperatures of the valley where it grows.
However, this also shows that the mountains in my hometown are not suitable for large-scale farming.
In that case, there's no need to lease the mountain! As a housewife, I don't have that much energy to run a tea garden. It's a waste of time and money, the return is low, and it's not worth it.
Whoever finds the wild tea in the mountains can pick it. We don't insist on making it ours alone.
After hearing Chen Hong's words, Mr. Wang and his wife pondered to themselves, thinking, "Does this mean the quality of this tea is questionable?"
It was available last year, it's available this year, but it's uncertain whether it will be available next year or the year after.
Sigh! What good is it if a woman is beautiful? She's still all talk and no action!
Is the purpose of setting up a tea plantation solely for financial gain? No! In society, survival depends on nothing more than connections and resources.
Money can buy connections, but resources have already been divided up by others. How rare it is for someone who enters late to gain access to resources that others don't have!
With resources, why worry about not having connections to help?
But Chen Hong is clearly short-sighted and lacks a sense of the big picture!
Mr. Wang was quite helpless. The couple exchanged a glance and shook their heads almost imperceptibly.
Chen Hong saw all of this, but pretended not to know and took turns with Mrs. Wang to take care of the children and finish the meal, which was not very tasty.
She and Mr. Wang are not from the same social class. When a businessman reaches a certain level in his career, his ambitions tend to grow larger.
Chen Hong doesn't believe that his life was devoid of money-power transactions, helplessness, and compromises.
She was an ordinary housewife, a mother, and a soldier's wife.
I don't have any grand dreams in this life. I'd be content if all my loved ones could live peaceful and happy lives.
The children had to attend classes in the afternoon, so after a quick meal, Chen Hong took the children and left.
Watching Chen Hong's departing figure, Mrs. Wang said to her husband with ease, "That's good too. Things are valued for their rarity! Chen Hong doesn't have any other intentions. As long as our business with her continues, she's quite sensible."
Getting a third of the tea quota each year is already quite good. She keeps all the tea for her family to drink, so as long as it doesn't circulate, it doesn't affect us much.
I think this is actually better! Okay, at worst I'll invite her out more often. If we get closer, she'll think of us first when she has something good.
As she spoke, Mrs. Wang touched her face and muttered to herself, "I forgot to ask Chen Hong, her skin is so good, I wonder what skincare products she uses?"
Is there some trick or secret recipe? She doesn't look like a fisherman at all!
Sensing that Mr. and Mrs. Wang had ulterior motives, Chen Hong had long since abandoned any idea of getting closer to them.
She didn't want to show her dislike for them, so she decided to keep a distance from them.
She's past the stage of accumulating wealth; even if she does nothing and just lives off her savings, she could never spend all her money in several lifetimes.
But thinking of the village chief and the others, Chen Hong still called home that night and asked the village chief to send Xiao Feng out to inquire about other seafood companies.
Within a year, once a few boats are put into use, not only will the catch from wild fishing be shipped out in large quantities, but the seafood from aquaculture farms will also need to be traded in a continuous stream.
They can't rely solely on the three or four sales channels of Dragon Palace Hotel. If someone were to cut off their supply chain, the losses would be enormous!
It's still necessary to do some preliminary research and contact several buyers. Not only will more buyers create competition, but the price will also be slightly driven up!
Just after hanging up the call with the village chief, Chen Hong received another call from Geng Dazhi, who told her that her fishing boat had been returned to the shipyard.
He did a quick check and found that the ship's machinery was working well and there were no major problems. All that was needed was routine maintenance and an oil change.
He planned to repaint the ship and upgrade its equipment, and needed to consult Chen Hong's opinion.
Chen Hong first transferred 100,000 yuan to him, telling him that he could do whatever he wanted with her boat, making it as advanced as possible, and that she would settle the bill with him later.
Actually, this fishing boat is a bit too small for Chen Hong now, especially when going out to sea. It's less than 20 meters long and not very resistant to wind and waves.
