“Third Uncle, have you had breakfast?” Su Ruliang first came to the home of the nearest Su Zhenqiao.“Ruliang, you"re back, we haven"t eaten yet, we are making it, let"s eat together.” Su Zhenqiao laughed and greeted Su Ruliang.
“I have already eaten, Third Uncle, I have something to discuss with you …” Su Ruliang simply said that he wanted to use the farmland. He had known for a long time that Su Zhenqiao"s family didn"t rely on farming now. The only reason why corn was planted in the farmland was just that they were worried about the farmland being abandoned. If you abandoned your farmland for a year or two, it will be full of weeds and the soil will become barren. When that happens, it will become extremely troublesome if you want to use it again in the future.
Therefore, Su Zhenqiao planted it with the idea that instead of letting it get deserted, it is better to plant something casually. Of course, this poorly managed planting naturally has little income. In Su Family Village and nearby villages, this situation is not uncommon, especially in recent times when the tourism industry of Qingyun Town has begun to develop, and other service industries have also begun to develop, and fewer and fewer people are farming nowadays. For Qingyun Town, farming has always been a very low-income industry.
“Grow strawberries, okay, you can use them.” Su Zhenqiao said generously.
“How much a year is good for you?” Su Ruliang asks.
“What money you are talking about, just send me a basket of strawberries.” Su Zhenqiao laughed.
“Haha, thank you Third Uncle, but this is a bit different, I would need to lease your farmland for at least five years.” Su Ruliang laughed, in fact, according to the nearby farmland market, even if he gives out money, it will be two or three hundred yuan per year per acre. Some of the locations are too biased and the terrain is not good, letting the harvest go down, there are some farmlands that you can"t even reach with bicycles and you would have to carry the harvest home from the farmland on feet making you dead-tired and it"s not even worth the effort. This kind of land can be leased for free. If your relationship is good with the owners of the ordinary farmland, they would generally not ask for money as they also know that the harvest wouldn"t be so great. And in the current situation, most people are only planting some corps in their farmland to prevent them from going barren, so when the time comes for them to farm again, they would be able to use it directly.
“Five years? I"m not sure. ” Su Zhenqiao is stunned. Generally speaking, farmlands are leased for one year or half a year. Even if someone rotates their corps for two times, they will lease it for at most two years, five years is a long time. This makes him hesitant. After all, he is not sure how the market will be in two years not to mention five.
“Third Uncle, if you want to farm in the future, you and your family can work with me. I will guarantee you a salary of 4,000 yuan and if there are more members of your family, they will also earn. A 4,000 yuan a month"s salary is good, which is 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a year, even some companies don"t give out that much, it"s better than farming by yourself. “Su Ruliang said.
“Listening to you, it seems you are planning to enlarge this business?” Su Zhenqiao still hesitated.
“Yeah.” Su Ruliang nodded.
“Where do you get so much money, can"t you make it … wait, this is A"Jing"s investment, is this A"Jing"s idea?” Su Zhenqiao suddenly opened his eyes as he asked.
“That"s right.” Su Ruliang nodded again.
“Haha, why didn"t you say so earlier, let alone five years, I will lend it to you for ten years and your Third Aunt will also work with you, is this okay?” Su Zhenqiao smiled immediately and agreed.
“…” Su Ruliang was dumbfounded, feeling that there was something wrong with this situation. The other party was still hesitant but as soon as he heard A"Jing"s name, he agreed immediately, and he was also showing an att.i.tude where he is afraid that you wouldn"t come back. Has A"Jing"s name has become so powerful?
The current situation is not clear to Su Ruliang as he has just returned. Su Jing is now a big celebrity nearby and he has an incredible reputation. Because everyone knows that Su Jing is simply the biggest boss in their area. For those who work in his fishery, he not only pays wages in time, without any delay, but he also pays bonuses from time to time. It is normal to pay bonuses higher than wages. Su Liang and Su Xiaolin, who has the strongest relationship with him, has a bonus many times their salary.
Su Zhenqiao originally asked Su Jing to hire his useless son, Su Hu, to work with Su Jing, and Su Jing also agreed. Now Su Hu not only has a high salary but he also sees Su Jing as an example and had become really diligent and hard working. Therefore, Su Zhenqiao was grateful to Su Jing for his trust and when he learned that it was Su Jing"s investment, he naturally agreed and he also recommended his wife to work on the farm.
“Thank you Third Uncle, Third Aunt has always been hardworking, and she can, of course, come to work.” Su Ruliang thought that maybe Third Uncle likes A"Jing very much. He went to the second, the third, the fourth home … he went to the Shi Family Village, Zhang Family Village, Zhu Family Village … Gradually, Su Ruliang had to admit the fact that the reason why everyone is willing to give him their farmland is because of Su Jing. Everyone heard that it was A"Jing"s investment and they immediately agreed. Originally, they only agreed for a year and that was because of the consideration for him and his family. But when they heard A"Jing"s name, their eyes became bright and they agreed so fast as if they were picking treasure from the ground. Su Ruliang couldn"t help but sigh, A"Jing has become really prosperous. He is far from being a Big Brother.
Soon, the news spread around and almost every household was talking about it.
“I heard that A"Jing is planning to invest in strawberry planting, he is leasing out the farmlands and hiring workers. Those who are willing to give their lands are preferred for workers.”
“What are we waiting for? The acres of land in our house is also deserted. Give them to him for free and I will go to work with him.”
“Who is A"Jing, and why should we give him the land for free?”
“You know s.h.i.t. Do you think your farmland is worth much?”
“You didn"t know anything as you have just arrived. A"Jing is Su Jing of Su Family. He"s amazing. It"s definitely right to follow him.”
“Oh, the most generous boss in history you"re talking about.”
“That"s right, he is the legendary Taming Grandmaster, Ancient Zither Grandmaster, Young G.o.d of Cooking, and one of the developers of Qingyun Town Tourism industry. He is the most successful and promising celebrity in Qingyun Town.”
Next, there was no need for Su Ruliang to come to find someone at all. People in nearby villages came to him automatically. Even some farmers who had their farmland planted with crops said that they would give up the farmland immediately after the harvest. The farmlands of Qingyun Town are basically located on the east and west side with one side on a higher level and the other one on the lower level. This is very inconvenient as it cannot be mechanized and the efficiency of work is naturally low, and the soil is not very fertile and their value is not high. If they can work with Su Jing by leasing out their farmland then it"s definitely worth it.
Just a few days later, almost all nearby farmland had been contracted by Su Ruliang and he had signed a contract with everyone. Moreover, he spent almost no money. In order to be able to impress Su Jing and be hired by Su Jing, many people simply do not want a few hundred yuan this year.
Of course, to the outside world, these are all Su Jing"s investments, and farmland has been contracted by Su Jing. Therefore, many people said with a smile that Su Jing is also developing Qingyun Town tourism and contracting Qingyun Town farmland. It will not take long for the whole Qingyun Town to become Su Jing"s world.
