Chapter 462 Taking Over the Farm
"Professor Li, if you are tired, please don't talk."
Han Ying couldn't help feeling sad when she heard Professor Li's unclear words.
"What..."
Professor Li knew that Han Ying was worried about his health, but he didn't know whether he could still be cured.
Lao Gu said that when his condition gets better, he will be taken to another place for treatment by helicopter.
But in these last days, he himself knew that there was little hope.
Professor Li looked at Lu Yuan who was standing next to Han Ying, his cold face full of worry.
"Professor Li, what do you want to say?"
Lu Yuan saw Professor Li looking at him and opening his mouth, but then closed it again. He took a step forward and put his ear closer to ask.
"Make it...long..."
Professor Li struggled to utter two unclear words.
Since Han Ying and Lu Yuan are here, it means that Lao Gu must have conveyed his meaning.
When talking about the farm, Professor Li's eyes became moist.
Lu Yuan picked up the tissue beside him and wiped the liquid that had not yet fallen from the corners of Professor Li's eyes.
Seeing that Professor Li was so sick that he couldn't even speak clearly, but was still thinking about the farm, it was impossible for Lu Yuan to not be moved.
Professor Li really cares about people's livelihood and is worried that the entire base will fall into food shortage due to his problems.
But Lu Yuan knew that he and Han Ying had never had such big ambitions.
If Professor Li knew that they did not want to take over the farm, would he be disappointed?
As if seeing the hesitation in Lu Yuan's eyes, Professor Li seemed to have guessed something.
He opened his mouth in panic, "Lu...please...Qiu Nong...Captain..."
"Old Li, don't worry about this matter. I will take care of it. Don't you trust me? When have I, Gu Yuanping, not done what I promised?"
Knowing that Professor Li must have guessed that Lu Yuan and the others had not agreed to take over the farm, Gu Yuanping walked up to him, held his hand with one hand, and gently patted the quilt on his chest with the other hand, telling him not to worry.
"Lu...Lu...Han...Nong...Chief..."
Professor Li seemed not to have heard Gu Yuanping's words. He stared at Lu Yuan with his eyes fixed, and tears welled up in his eyes again.
"Good boy, just agree to him, I beg you..."
Gu Yuanping's wife saw how anxious her husband, Mr. Li, was, so she came to Lu Yuan and Han Ying, and then... knelt down in front of them.
Wang Qin knew that they were talking about the farm because she was there when her husband, Mr. Li, and Mr. Gu were discussing the matter.
Although she didn't know why her husband, Mr. Li, had to choose these two young people.
And why are these two young men unwilling to accept such a great benefit?
But Wang Qin knew that if the two young people did not agree, her husband Mr. Li would definitely become anxious and angry, which would not be good for his condition.
"Auntie... this is not possible..."
Seeing the person suddenly kneeling towards them, Han Ying wanted to jump away to avoid her kneeling.
But there was a kang and Lu Yuan next to her, so she had no place to jump and could only go forward and help the aunt up.
"Professor Li, I can promise you to take charge of the farm temporarily, but we will leave when you get better or the base finds a suitable candidate."
Lu Yuan, who was standing aside, seemed not to notice Wang Qin kneeling down, but looked back at Professor Li.
"Thanks..."
When Professor Li heard Lu Yuan's words, his eyes suddenly turned red.
He has been dealing with agricultural crops all his life, and after the end of the world, he personally spent every day on the farm and in the research institute.
He has done a lot, but the results are not very good.
When it was extremely hot, the farm suffered repeated harvest failures. He even became a little discouraged and thought that he would never be able to grow anything again.
But the cactus and sweet potatoes that Lu Yuan successfully grew gave him hope again.
At that time he was thinking that perhaps this young man might be more suitable than him to take over the farm.
Later, he really extended an olive branch to Lu Yuan and wanted to allocate a piece of land for him to manage, but was rejected.
Now that he was in trouble, what he was most worried about was the farm. The first person he thought of who could take over the farm was Lu Yuan.
When he saw the hesitation in Lu Yuan's eyes just now, he knew that Lu Yuan did not want to take over the farm, but was forced to be tied to the farm by him.
Professor Li knew that he was sorry to Lu Yuan and Han Ying, but for the sake of food for so many people in the base, he was willing to be the bad guy.
When Gu Yuanping heard that Lu Yuan agreed to take over the farm, a smile appeared on his face.
Gu Yuanping knew that they would not be happy to be tied to the farm by force, so he would fully cooperate with them in managing the farm.
But after all, these two people did not belong to the farm before, and their sudden arrival must have caused many people to be dissatisfied.
He will suppress those who want to cause trouble or express dissatisfaction.
"Professor Li, you should have a good rest. We will come to see you another day."
Seeing the fatigue on Professor Li's face and his almost closed eyes, Han Ying knew they couldn't stay any longer.
After leaving the ward, the three returned to Gu Yuanping's office.
"Xiao Lu, what you just said..."
Although Gu Yuanping believed that what Lu Yuan had just said was not just to appease Professor Li, he still had to confirm it again.
"Five years. We will only take over for five years at most. If Professor Li recovers within five years, or you find someone suitable to take over the farm, I will return the farm to the base."
With a transition period of five years, Lu Yuan didn't believe that the government would not be able to find someone who could take over the farm.
If you can't find it, Lu Yuan doesn't mind helping find one.
"Okay, then it'll be five years. The conditions remain the same as I said before. The farm will be privatized within these five years, and all the output will belong to the two of you, but two-thirds of it must be sold to the base."
Gu Yuanping was immediately relieved when he heard Lu Yuan's words.
Since he proposed a five-year agreement, it means that they are willing to stay on the farm during these five years.
If he cannot find someone who can take over the farm within five years, it will be a failure for Gu Yuanping.
"Okay, but you can bring up the price base here, but the result is up to us."
Lu Yuan glanced at Han Ying before speaking seriously.
Gu Yuanping didn't expect Lu Yuan to say this, but he didn't express his dissatisfaction with it.
The entire farm was given to them, and he knew the two men wouldn't go overboard on the price.
"Okay, the corresponding documents will be ready at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Please come over to sign and prepare to take over the farm."
"In addition, the company I promised you to use to garrison the farm will also be on standby tomorrow."
Since the other party has agreed to take over the farm, he will naturally fulfill the conditions he promised.
"Yes, but we have two requirements for this company stationed on the farm. We will accept it if it can be met. Otherwise, we would rather not have it."
Han Ying looked at Gu Yuanping with a serious expression on her face.
"you say."
Gu Yuanping was a little curious about what request she would make.
Weapons or what?
