The next morning, Xia Yu packed his luggage and set off for Chaolu Farm.
On the other side, Lao Xia also led his men from Maoshan and headed towards the Magic City.
There were five people in the car, only four without Lao Xia. The one who didn't come was an old man who stayed behind to watch over the place. However, as the backbone of the study, four people were enough.
They will receive training in various techniques including vegetable cultivation, poultry farming, and mushroom cultivation at Chaolu Farm.
Nowadays, farming also requires culture and science to increase both yield and taste.
Of course, for Xia Yu, in order to sell these products at a very high price, he needs the support of metaphysics.
When Xia Yu opened the system and prepared to sign in, he saw the remaining Spirit Gathering Formation worth 50 million in the mall.
The price of a mid-range Bell 430 can create a cultivation product with a production value of billions, but it's a pity that he can't afford it for the time being.
“Sign in!”
"Ding, your card with the last number 0607 received a deposit of 500,000 yuan from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China at 10:13 on September 9th, with a balance of 4,000,800.56 yuan. [Industrial and Commercial Bank of China]"
“Alas~~”
After crossing out the notification of the payment, Xia Yu let out a long sigh.
I started saving money last week, and I’ve only saved four million so far. It’s a long way to go to reach fifty million!
In fact, if he earns 500,000 yuan a day, it will only take 100 days to save up 50 million yuan. But time is life, and Xia Yu is not satisfied with this.
In the past, investing your money in the cryptocurrency market was a good choice because the returns were very considerable. However, this path is no longer feasible.
Bitcoin has been fluctuating at every $4,000 price point for some time now. Without the previous momentum, there are undercurrents underneath, as if some conspiracy is brewing.
Big rise?
Or a big drop?
No one could give him an answer except himself, so Xia Yu planned to wait and see for a while.
It just so happened that he had saved some money, so he could be more calm when it came time to leave, unlike before when he was always making small moves.
When Xia Yu was thinking this, a beeping horn sounded from the farm gate, and Xiao Hei started barking.
Old Xia is here!
The Grand Cherokee drove all the way from the farm gate to the living area, and Old Xia and a group of middle-aged men in their forties and fifties got out of the car.
It is difficult to recruit young people in their twenties and thirties on the farm. Only middle-aged people and old men are still farming these days. However, despite their age, they are good at work.
"Dad, you're here!"
Xia Yu and Uncle Tai went up to greet him together.
"This is my son, and this is Uncle Tai, Li Tai, the person in charge of our branch base in Magic City."
Old Xia introduced the two people to the employees. He now has a bit of a bossy feel, but he still needs some practice.
"Hello, young boss, hello, Brother Li!"
"Hello everyone, you will be staying here for the next two months. Uncle Tai will be in charge of you for one month. The remaining month will be a test for you to manage the farm on your own. Whoever manages it well will become a manager and earn a high salary!"
Xia Yu said bluntly.
There's no point in working on a farm; the most practical thing is talking about money.
"Yes, yes, we will listen carefully to Brother Li's arrangements and learn more."
Among the four, there was a smart one who was the first to speak out his loyalty, but whether he could put his words into action remained to be seen.
Uncle Tai said a few more words next, and his attitude became much friendlier.
In a small business, there must be someone to play the good cop and someone to play the bad cop. The good cop role is usually played by the boss, and it is best for management to get along well with the employees. After all, everyone is just working there.
This also made it easier for Uncle Tai to work later. After he finished speaking, he led the four people to the staff room to settle down.
"Dad, how's the production base going? Is there enough money?"
Xia Yu came to Old Xia.
"The progress is good. The mushroom house and pig farm have already started construction. I will deal with the pig farming procedures after I return. I still have more than one million yuan left."
Raising pigs was Xia Yu's idea. Pork is an ingredient that can never be avoided in mainstream domestic cuisine. Instead of ordering it from others, it is better to raise it by yourself.
The pig breed used is the best-tasting black pig, which is scientifically bred and nourished with spiritual energy. The pigs raised with this process are 90% delicious in themselves.
Supplied to its restaurants, after cooking, it will definitely conquer customers' taste buds and empty their wallets.
"Okay, then we'll expand our scale to supply at least fifty restaurants. If the money isn't enough, I'll give you more."
Xia Yu's tone was still very confident. After all, he had the system's support. The only thing he had to worry about was that production could not keep up with demand.
With a production base of more than 1,000 acres, every penny must be carefully calculated and utilized well to radiate across the country.
The chain brand he planned to focus on the low-end market is actually not low-end. Two or three hundred yuan per person is more expensive than fishing at the bottom of the lake. The so-called low-end is only relative, so the quality control of ingredients is of paramount importance.
"Okay, your mother and I can't help you with the restaurant. We can only help you manage the production base."
"Dad, this is enough. I was planning to take you here to live with me when I retired, but I didn't expect that I would still need your help."
Xia Yu spoke from his heart. He was luckier than many protagonists in novels on Qidian. His parents neither sacrificed themselves to heaven nor constantly held him back. Instead, they helped him.
I hope the business can get on track soon, so that my parents won’t have to be so busy.
"We're all family, so let's not talk about our differences. Your mom and I really don't know what to do now that we're retired. We can't handle traveling all the time."
Old Xia comforted Xia Yu, but it was indeed the case.
Lin Shuqin doesn't like square dancing, and he doesn't like playing mahjong. After retirement, he really feels lost, unlike now, when every day is very fulfilling.
"Let's go traveling together as a family of three during the Chinese New Year."
Xia Yu said with a smile.
He likes to go out and have fun. It's great to go out alone, and it's even better to have a young lady go with him.
It’s different when you’re with your parents. You can have fun and show filial piety at the same time. Why not?
And by the time the Chinese New Year comes, his business will have officially expanded, and he might even have a private business jet, so he can save money on air tickets.
Next, Xia Yu took Lao Xia on a good tour around the farm. They were in a hurry last time and didn’t take a close look. Now that they have time, Lao Xia will stay on the farm for a whole week before going back.
After looking at the entire Chaolu Farm, Lao Xia also noticed the Wanfeng Farm next door.
"Xiaoyu, there are so many maple trees on the farm next door. They look pretty nice."
"This farm is called Wanfeng Farm. Of course, there are a lot of maple trees there. The owner is a classmate of mine. One-third of our chickens are fostered there."
Xia Yu introduced that Jiang Baiying helped him raise a lot of chickens, half of which were his, and the remaining half were hers. Jiang Lei would catch one or two every month to make soup, and the rest were employee benefits.
