Apocalypse overlord Yang Baiyi, while leading a team to clear out zombies, perished along with the zombie king.

When she awoke again, she found herself in a mourning hall, surrounded by relat...

Chapter 232 Refusing Half of the Profit

After listening to Yang Baiyi's plan, Chen Baiwang and Chen Dahe were not blindly optimistic, but raised their own doubts.

"Don't worry about the sales of the fruit. I'll find a way for you. As for the melon seeds, you don't have to worry about them.

Have you forgotten? Not only was I an educated youth sent to the countryside from Chenjiatun, I was also a health worker at Red Star Farm.

As far as I know, Red Star Farm grows a large field of sunflowers. They have a market, so we can just sell our sunflower seeds directly to the farm after we harvest them."

Since Yang Baiyi made the suggestion, how could he not consider the issue of sales!

"Okay, as long as there's no worries about sales, Doctor Yang, as long as it doesn't violate national policy and can help the members live a good life, I can do anything.

Doctor Yang, tell me, what do you need us to do?"

Knowing that Yang Baiyi could solve the sales problem, Chen Baiwang was overjoyed and immediately felt like he had taken stimulants.

“Since this is a collective matter, of course we must first hold a meeting to discuss the matter and obtain the consent of all members.

Then, taking advantage of the slack season, we organized the members to clear the weeds and gravel from the hillsides and rivers.

The soil only has so much nutrients, and too many weeds will definitely affect the growth of fruit trees and sunflowers."

Hearing that Chen Baiwang and Chen Dahe had no objection, Yang Baiyi was relieved.

"Doctor Yang, sunflowers are easy to grow. Every household in our village has seeds saved. We can just plant them next spring.

But where can we get fruit tree seedlings? The wild fruit trees in the mountains are not suitable. Not only are the fruits small, but the yield and taste are not very good. "

Chen Dahe raised a key question.

Fruit trees usually bear fruit after three years of hard work. If the yield and taste do not meet the standards, all the hard work will be in vain.

"I'll take care of the fruit tree seedlings. You can rest assured about the yield and quality."

Yang Baiyi has the ability to control wood, so it is easy for him to cultivate a sapling.

"Doctor Yang, you'll be responsible for growing the saplings and finding a market for them. We'll just put in the work. How about this? If there's a profit, the production team will keep half, and you'll keep the other half.

Don't worry, this matter is only known to a few of us. We won't tell anyone about it when you go home and talk in your sleep. It will definitely not cause you any trouble."

For farmers, strength is the least valuable thing. As long as it can be exchanged for money, they can endure any hardship.

"Captain, all profits belong to the collective, I won't take a penny.

Don’t rush to refuse. I also have a request, and that is from the educated youth comrades in the compound.

You also said that they are not good at farm work and have not developed enough strength. They will starve to death by earning work points.

Although they can't lift anything, they can write and count. I was thinking of letting them work there after our melon seed factory and orchard are established.

Whether it's recording work, calculating accounts, or connecting with farms, culture is essential, and they are just the right fit."

Yang Baiyi stated his request. He took great pains to help Chen Jiatun develop a side business, wasn't it all for the group of friends in the educated youth compound?

"Doctor Yang, you really don't want any profit at all? If the melon seed factory and orchard you mentioned can really be sold, I guess the profit won't be too low."

Chen Baiwang was a little bit unbelievable. He didn't expect that Yang Baiyi was willing to give up so much for the educated youth.

"Captain, I really don't want any profit. Wanru and I earn full work points in the production team and also receive a salary from the Red Star Farm, which is enough for our expenses.

You know, in today's world, having too much money is not a good thing."

This is not nonsense. Yang Baiyi clearly remembers that the melon seed king in his previous life took the route of public-private partnership.

Later, he accumulated too much wealth and did not do the project well, so he was imprisoned three times.

"It is a great blessing for the educated youth to have a friend like you.

I agreed to this. There are a total of sixteen educated youth in Chenjiatun. You and Lin are in the infirmary, and Han Fei and the other five are in school.

There are still nine educated youth left, and I will assign them all to the melon seed factory."

As the team leader of Chenjiatun, Chen Baiwang often went to the commune for meetings, and naturally met with the team leaders of other production teams frequently.

The educated youth in other production teams did not live as comfortably as the educated youth in Chenjiatun.

Yang Baiyi, a capable and righteous man, changed their fate.

"I'll organize a meeting tonight to finalize this matter, and start work tomorrow. We'll strive to clear the riverbank and hillsides completely before winter."

Chen Baiwang has always been a decisive person and doesn't like to procrastinate.

Since Yang Baiyi promised to solve the problems of saplings and sales, what are you waiting for if you don’t get started?

This is a business where you can make money. Only a fool wouldn’t be active in it!

"Doctor Yang, on behalf of all the members of Chenjiatun, I'd like to toast you again."

After finishing the business, Chen Dahe raised his glass excitedly again.

They kept drinking until after two o'clock, when Yang Xiaoxiao went to school, and then they ended the drinking party.

After seeing off Chen Baiwang and Chen Dahe, Yang Baiyi and Lin Xiao returned to the main room to drink tea.

"Bai Yi, what's going on in your head? Why are you so smart?

I pondered it until almost dawn last night, but I still couldn't figure out what you were going to do."

Lin Xiao's evaluation of Yang Baiyi rose to another level.

This guy is both capable and thoughtful, so it wouldn't be unfair to his sister if he became her brother-in-law.

"Brother Lin Xiao, it's not as exaggerated as you say. I only came up with this idea after seeing Red Star Farm growing sunflowers.

It hasn’t been finalized yet, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.”

In front of his future brother-in-law, Yang Baiyi is still very humble.

"Bai Yi, there's still a lot of mutton in the pot. We can't finish it in three days. Why don't we send some to Sister Li Xue?"

The weather is not cold enough now. If I don’t send some out, I won’t be able to finish it until it goes bad.

When Chen Baiwang and Chen Dahe left just now, Yang Baiyi did not say that he would give it to them.

As the team leader and the old branch secretary, he also has his own pride.

It was obvious that they felt embarrassed to come drink empty-handed, and they would not accept meat even if it was offered to them.

It's okay to eat and take things at the same time once in a while, but they can't do it often.

"Okay, let's keep a little and send the rest to the educated youth compound. We'll make fresh ones tomorrow."

Yang Baiyi has no habit of eating leftovers. His five dogs often eat fresh meat, so how could he possibly eat leftovers!

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You guys can drink tea here. I'll take it to them."

Lin Wanru went to the kitchen and took out all the mutton in the pot. She kept a few pieces for herself to eat in the evening and put the rest into a large basin.

"Let me go with you. It's a long journey, and you can't carry such a big pot of meat by yourself."

While Lin Wanru was washing the pot, Yang Baiyi also came to the kitchen.
