Chapter 223: I don't want to make money
If vegetables are unsafe, grow your own.
If flour is not safe, grow your own wheat and grind it.
If oil is unsafe, grow your own peanuts, sesame and rapeseed to make oil.
There is no other solution except for industrial products like MSG and salt.
I make everything I can grow or process myself. I grow my own peppercorns, and I heard that this year I started researching making vinegar and vermicelli. In short, I try to make everything I can myself and never buy outside.
After the news of these things done on the farm spread out, they became the topic of conversation among the people of Bei'an after dinner. This also formed a new perception that the things on Xianling Farm may not be the best, but they are definitely the safest.
Because the farm owner is afraid of death.
The farm has more than 500 employees, so it is not difficult to confirm these rumors.
So everyone in Bei'an believed it without a doubt.
Many people want to buy things from the farm, but they can’t.
But where there is demand there will be a market.
The largest supermarket in Bei’an came to us and wanted to cooperate.
Jiang Ning was turned down because he was not interested.
Selling trees and rabbits is so much easier that he doesn't even want to grow medicinal herbs anymore.
It's too troublesome.
Not to mention growing vegetables and processing food, which causes even more trouble.
But the county saw an opportunity.
The second boss came over to inspect the farm's several vegetable plots. He was a little confused and asked Jiang Ning, "The farm has already formed a brand effect, why don't you plant more vegetables? If I want to buy some safe vegetables, I have to call the farm."
Jiang Ning said: "Growing vegetables is too troublesome, and there is no extra land on the farm."
The second boss asked, "How about the second farm doing organic vegetables?"
Jiang Ning said, "It's not easy. The second farm has already been established. It's either forest land or pasture. There's no extra land to grow vegetables. And if we grow too much, we can't sell it. People in Bei'an believe that the vegetables on the farm are not sprayed with pesticides, but no one outside believes that."
The second boss asked, "What do you think of creating a brand?"
Jiang Ning shook his head. "It's very difficult. Word of mouth is too difficult to build. If you want to make the recipients believe, you can't just run a few ads. It's different now than in the past. Consumers have almost no trust in businesses."
The second boss said: "There are some. There is a supermarket in Zhongyuan that does quite well."
Jiang Ning said: "That is a special case. There is no other one like it."
The second boss said, "It's a shame not to make such a good thing into a brand. In fact, you can make it if you want to. Although I don't know much about business, I have thought of some very good ideas. But I think you are a little careless."
Jiang Ning spoke frankly: "I can make hundreds of millions a year just by selling trees and rabbits, why would I bother with that?"
The second boss was unwilling to give up. Bei'an really didn't have any resources to show for it. Boss Lu had come up with a new agricultural model, and the higher-ups were discussing the feasibility of this model. He wanted to do something. At present, pollution-free vegetables were the only way out. How could he give up so easily? He said, "The farm has the technology. It would be a pity to give up this market. Large areas of arable land in rural areas are abandoned. The farm can contract those lands to grow vegetables!"
Jiang Ning spread his hands and said, "I bought a lot of land outside. I will be traveling outside most of the time. I don't have much time in Bei'an. I haven't managed the second field much. I really don't have much time and energy to do this."
The second boss was speechless, as other businessmen only complained that they made too little money.
This is the first time I have met someone who doesn’t want to make money.
But no one else can do this, only Boss Jiang can do it.
Moreover, if it is done well, it will not only be a brilliant political achievement that can be shown off, but the farmers will also benefit. It can be said to be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. The second boss can only persuade him earnestly: "You can still get it if you squeeze in time! You are from Bei'an. Since you have the ability to drive the common prosperity of the people of Bei'an, you should still take on some responsibility!"
Jiang Ning said: "You can't grow vegetables on those lands in the countryside."
The second boss asked: "Why?"
Jiang Ning said: "The farm land is all wasteland. It has never been developed in the past, and the land is not polluted. However, the cultivated land in the countryside is different. It has been sprayed with fertilizers and pesticides for decades. Even if it is abandoned now, the heavy metals and harmful elements in the pesticides and fertilizers are deposited in the soil and cannot be eliminated by the soil in a short time. The vegetables grown will still have excessive pesticide residues."
"This……"
The second boss was stunned and looked to the side.
The accompanying agricultural bureau professional confirmed: "What Mr. Jiang said is correct. This situation does happen."
The second boss hesitated for a moment and asked Jiang Ning, "How about giving you those plots of land from the Wenzhou people?"
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Which plots of land does the county intend to reclaim?"
The second boss said, "We are studying it. The Wenzhou people have been using those plots of land for two years but have not been able to make anything out of them. It would be a huge waste of land resources if we just leave them there. If you want to grow vegetables, I will give it to you."
Jiang Ning said: "Let me think about it!"
The second boss nodded and didn't urge him anymore.
After turning around, he led his men away.
Jiang Ning didn't take it seriously and he never thought about growing vegetables.
It’s too troublesome. Different vegetables have different growing methods.
Some need to build racks, and some need to raise seedlings and transplant them.
It’s more troublesome than growing medicinal herbs.
Selling trees and rabbits makes hundreds of millions a year, and he doesn't even know how to spend the money. What's the point of all that?
But God did not fulfill people's wishes.
Jiang Hua heard the news and ran to him: "I heard that the county is going to give you those plots of land from the Wenzhou people?"
Jiang Ning said: "Second Boss just said that, it's not certain."
Jiang Hua asked, "Do you want it?"
Jiang Ning shook his head: "I don't want to bother."
Jiang Hua asked, "Can you take it for me?"
Jiang Ning asked: "What did you take it for?"
Jiang Hua said: "I grow vegetables, I won't grow your land anymore."
Jiang Ning is not optimistic: "Leaders only know how to make empty promises without considering the reality. The vegetables grown on the farm are only okay in Bei'an. Outside of Bei'an, no one in the city believes that the vegetables grown on the farm are not sprayed with pesticides. Planting a few hundred acres is okay, but it will be hard to sell more than that."
Jiang Hua was confident: "I sell vegetables. I know better than you that even if they are not pollution-free, the vegetables on the farm are much better than those from other places. I won't have trouble selling them."
Jiang Ning poured cold water on him: "Can you guarantee that the Wenzhou people can grow vegetables on those plots of land?"
Jiang Hua told the truth: "That's why I asked you."
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "If you really want it, I'll ask for you." Jiang Hua said, "I'll pay for it, so you don't have to pay for it."
Jiang Ning nodded, thinking it would be good for his brother to become independent.
Although they are brothers, it is not a long-term solution to keep farming his land.
As for the location, it was just a matter of making a phone call for him.
When the news spread, the two cousins couldn't sit still anymore.
Jiang Wei and Jiang Ze came to Jiang Hua, wanting to buy shares.
Jiang Hua didn't want to form a partnership with anyone, so he asked, "I plan to invest 20 million in growing vegetables. How much money can Wei Ge and Ze Ge invest?"
Jiang Wei didn't believe it: "Is it necessary to invest so much for a few thousand acres of land?"
Jiang Hua counted on his fingers: "We need to dig wells, build walls, repair roads and level the land. 20 million is not enough."
Jiang Ze said: "Why rush to build a wall? The people of Wenzhou have already put up barbed wire, which can be used as a makeshift. The people of Wenzhou have almost finished repairing the road, so we just need to harden it and it won't cost much."
Jiang Hua said: "If you want to grow vegetables, you need to level the land and build a greenhouse, which requires a lot of investment."
Jiang Wei is still proud of himself: "I think an investment of 5 million is enough."
Jiang Hua shook his head: "Not enough, there are more than 4,000 acres of land, what can five million do!"
The two looked at each other, helpless.
All the money for my future is spent on breeding, and I'm still burdened with a lot of loans!
Let alone millions, it's difficult for two people to come up with hundreds of thousands now.
It's such a pity that the opportunity to become a local landlord was missed.
Not only the two cousins wanted to buy shares, but also the eldest cousin's husband Liu Wei came to find Jiang Hua.
There were also some people, known or unknown, who came to visit.
Jiang Hua refused them all, he was just more introverted.
But he is not stupid, his mind is as clear as a mirror.
Without Jiang Ning's endorsement, he would not have taken the land. Several Wenzhou bosses spent two years trying to do this and spent a lot of money, but in the end they got nothing out of it. As long as Jiang Ning is willing to endorse it, this land will make money no matter what is planted on it.
How could anyone be allowed to come in and share the money?
Not even my cousin can do that, let alone outsiders.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the end of the month.
Kindergarten started, and Mr. and Mrs. Jiang took their eldest granddaughter to fly to Australia.
Jiang Ning also flew to America to reunite with his wife and children.
I also brought my uncle's family along.
Fly to Los Angeles to rest for a night, then fly to Dallas.
After arriving in Dallas, Deng Xiaoyun drove to pick us up.
Jiang Ning did not go to Arlington, but took the direct flight that came to pick him up at the ranch.
Went straight to the ranch.
My uncle's family followed Deng Xiaoyun to Arlington.
Feng Yu and Feng Xue did not go to Arlington and stayed on the ranch.
Summer is approaching and the afternoon sun is a bit scorching.
There is a parasol on the lawn in front of the door.
There is a mat underneath and the little ones are playing on it.
Feng Yu and Feng Xue sat on the side and watched. Both of them were wearing cool clothes.
It's less refined and more casual and lazy.
It is said that environment can change people, and this is indeed true.
"Tiantian, look who's here."
Feng Yu pointed at Jiang Ning and motioned for his daughter to look.
The little guy turned his head and looked over, with a strange look on his face.
After not seeing his dad for more than a month, the little guy has forgotten his dad again.
Jiang Ning kicked off his shoes and sat aside, waving and calling out several times.
The little guy hid behind his mother and looked at him curiously.
Not coming either.
Jiang Ning was not in a hurry and told Feng Yu and Feng Xue about the situation at home.
Feng Yu also said something: "My classmate is getting married in July, you have to go to the banquet."
Jiang Ning asked: "Which classmate?"
Feng Yu said: "Xie Zhicai, they came to our wedding, you have to return the favor."
Jiang Ning thought about it and remembered: "The one in Guangdong?"
Feng Yu nodded and said, "Yes, on July 7th."
Jiang Ning asked: "Aren't you going?"
Feng Yu said: "It's too troublesome to go out with the child, so I won't go, you go alone!"
Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.
Feng Yu added: "Xu Wenjing came a few days ago, stayed for a few days and then left."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "What is Xu Wenjing doing?"
Feng Yu was quite envious: "She lives a carefree life, traveling all over the world, even all over Europe. She went to Canada a while ago and came to see me and my sister. She may be in South America now."
Jiang Ning asked: "How much does she make a month?"
Feng Yu said: "I don't know, but I heard that her fans on the Internet have exceeded 5 million, and one advertisement can earn 100,000."
