Under his wife's relentless persuasion, the village chief gradually wavered, and finally gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, "Fine, I'll learn it!"

Then he muttered to himself, "Anyway, our ancestors left us this skill to make a living, so what difference does it make how we make a living?"

After hearing his agreement, Li Xiangdong smiled and put down his teacup. "Then let's discuss the specific details of building the bonsai garden!"

Li Xiangdong spent the entire night discussing the details with the village chief and more than a dozen elderly men in the village, and the specifics were finally settled at dawn.

The final decision was that Sishibawan Village would contribute 400 mu of mountain land and bonsai grafting and maintenance technology as shares, accounting for 30% of all shares, while Li Xiangdong would be fully responsible for the construction, operation and sales of the bonsai garden.

The bonsai garden prioritizes hiring villagers from Sishibawan Village to work in the garden, and the annual dividends are distributed according to the land share of each household.

Inside the house, the old men with wrinkled faces, though they hadn't slept all night, were all in high spirits, laughing and talking loudly, about going to call their children and grandchildren who were working in the city back to work, so that the whole family could be reunited!

Li Xiangdong yawned, feeling quite satisfied.

In fact, as long as he sets up the bonsai garden, he can easily bring over some people, and over time they will all learn the techniques of cultivating bonsai.

However, that would be too slow.

Moreover, people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang tend to stick together. If he, an outsider, doesn't negotiate the terms beforehand, he might be kicked out if the bonsai garden grows too big.

There are precedents for this, so he had to be a petty person first and then a gentleman.
