After dinner, Jiang Yue browsed the news for a while and saw an article about an auction house where a painting sold for hundreds of millions of yuan. Normally, Jiang Yue might not have bothered to read it, but this kind of world might be created by one of the main characters.
I browsed through this editor's news articles, and it's been reported more than once this year. It seems the protagonist has reaped quite a harvest. When he goes to the city in the future, he can go and check out the antique market. In other worlds, they only sell fakes, but in this world, it's not necessarily the case.
I just hope he's not too stupid. Jiang Yue read a novel where the male protagonist was a food delivery guy who suddenly got into a car accident and his eyes mutated. The next day, he found something in a big box and confidently bet with someone that there was definitely something there, worth a certain amount of money.
Oh dear, this plot made Jiang Yue extremely embarrassed. At first, she thought the box itself had some kind of secret, that it was made of some precious wood, but after the truth was revealed, it was just an ordinary wooden box, and it was the things inside that were valuable.
If Jiang Yue were there, she would definitely call the police. This is clearly a setup by a group to scam people. Now that it's become the real world, she hopes he doesn't have any such clever tricks up his sleeve, otherwise he'll be taken to a lab sooner or later. Who can see through things?
After putting down her phone, Jiang Yue prepared to play a few games. She hadn't played games in a long time and was itching to play. As soon as she logged in, she received invitations from friends she had added before. However, Jiang Yue didn't want to duo queue today, so she played two solo games and then logged off.
After shutting down the computer, I went for a walk. The village was quite different from when Jiang Yue first returned. It looked much more refined to the naked eye. Jiang Yue had also built a few pavilions and set up a barbecue and camping area. These were suggestions from previous guests. Since they were all minor things, Jiang Yue added them.
Jiang Yue's courtyard has been open for business for some time now, and some people in the village have started to see the potential in it. Some have even taken action and come to ask Jiang Yue for advice. Jiang Yue has been very open with her, providing design drawings and sharing all the intricacies of the business.
I strolled over and took a look. The construction was almost complete, but some soft furnishings were still missing. Because of the limited budget, Jiang Yue designed the house, trying to use local materials as much as possible. Except for the necessary items, she made them herself instead of buying them, prioritizing saving money.
Jiang Yue also told them that she could help recommend companies, but the safety and hygiene conditions had to meet the standards. After all, a bad reputation would affect the platform and not just his family. Fortunately, everyone knew what was important; they wanted to make money, not commit murder.
Once the renovations were complete and the property met the occupancy requirements, Jiang Yue sent a puppet to take photos. The photos were booked shortly after being put up for sale. This was partly due to Jiang Yue's increased advertising efforts, and partly because the number of tourists this year was significantly higher than last year. Jiang Yue's newly opened shop also had a high occupancy rate.
Because none of them had a car to pick up their customers, Jiang Yue helped them for free the first few times. Later, everyone realized that this wouldn't work, so the families discussed it and started paying Jiang Yue for the rides. Everyone said they couldn't keep taking advantage of her, but Jiang Yue accepted the money without hesitation. She liked people who were sensible.
She doesn't need the gas money; she's just afraid people will take her kindness for granted. "I'll help you out without expecting anything in return, but you can't just pretend nothing happened. Even if you say something nice, have a smile when you meet me, or offer some emotional support, that would be great."
In July, their former company started a team building activity, and they chose to come here for fun. They also took the opportunity to visit Jiang Yue, who personally picked them up. They stayed at her own guesthouse, and after spending a few days in the city, she took her former boss and senior to her home.
Even though she video-called her senior every few days, it still felt like they hadn't seen each other in a long time. When her senior saw Jiang Yue's healthy complexion, unlike her previous pale appearance, she was genuinely happy.
During their stay at home, Jiang Yue personally cooked for them, and the two of them didn't want to leave. At the same time, Jiang Yue persuaded the boss to invest in the tea garden and build a new tea processing plant, which provided a certain guarantee for sales.
For him, this was a very small investment, and he didn't even need to send someone to keep an eye on it. He would rather have Jiang Yue cook a few more dishes and let her, as a former employee, take charge. She could just report the progress to him every now and then. After the contract was signed, the team building activity was almost over. Jiang Yue sent the people back to the city, and they set off for Shanghai the next day.
Of course, the happiest people were the villagers and the village chief. The day after she left, they came to find Jiang Yue and started discussing the construction of the factory. After discussion, they chose the land at the entrance of the village because it was close to the main road and would be convenient for transportation.
The village chief was in charge of land acquisition. Jiang Yue contacted the construction team, the same one as before. If they did a good job, there was no need to change them. The person in charge was overjoyed. While others were begging and pleading for projects, he was being delivered to their door. They even wanted to give Jiang Yue a red envelope (a monetary gift).
While the village chief was processing the paperwork, Jiang Yue had already ordered the necessary equipment and started looking for a master tea fryer. Although the master tea fryer wasn't very useful, just to provide cover, the necessary equipment still needed to be provided.
All that's left is to wait for the factory and warehouse to be built, which can't be done in a short time. So Jiang Yue has some free time again. She looks at her account balance and realizes that she won't be able to use up the money anytime soon, so she can take a break from the stock market.
After playing around for a while, the tea processing factory passed the inspection and the tea business took off. The boss bought 80% of the high-end tea directly, and introduced a few customers to the other quality teas. In this way, 50% of the tea had a destination, and the rest depended on the village itself.
Jiang Yue sold some of the remaining tea through her homestay. Because it was purchased directly from the place of origin, the taste was good and the price was more favorable than online. Many tourists would buy some. She also contacted some game streamers and cooperated with them through revenue sharing or advertising fees.
She also promotes it on her own social media accounts, and the homestay booking website has a dedicated online store page that only sells her own products, currently only tea. Customers who book homestays can visit the production site to see the tea production process firsthand. She promotes the slogan of drinking safe and reliable tea, and sales are quite good.
After several such attempts, even in good times, there wasn't enough to meet demand, so they had to buy leaves from nearby tea farmers to make ends meet. Once things were on track, Jiang Yue gradually withdrew from the tea factory, content with just receiving a small share of the profits each year; she was too lazy to deal with these other matters.
Before we knew it, it was 2016. This year, Douyin (TikTok) officially launched, and we can now browse it when we're bored. Otherwise, we're getting tired of playing games because our teammates and enemies are all too bad. We can only really enjoy the game if we run into a professional player.
