I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 378: Expectations for the Future
The first batch of watermelons purchased by the Celestial Fortune cafeteria from Qin Family Village came from Qin Laigen’s family, and they transported five acres of them directly!
Everyone who came to watch the excitement helped out, and soon all the watermelons on the five acres were harvested.
"Hello, how much are these watermelons?" After they were transported, Qin Laigen eagerly watched in front of the truck.
Beside Qin Laigen were his wife and daughter, Qin Xiaoyin, both watching with faces full of joy.
Even Qin Xiaoyin was like this, clenching her small fists and watching the buyer.
The buyer smiled and said, "Take a look at these weights that were just measured, they were checked beside us just now, there’s no mistake. I calculated it; your five acres of watermelon weighs a total of 8,100 jins, and with the current market price of 1.5 yuan per jin, the total is 12,150 yuan."
Actually, these five acres certainly had more watermelons before, but most of them had been sold over the past two or three months.
There weren’t many watermelons left now, since it’s already early October.
"Yes, that’s right."
Qin Laigen carefully calculated with a calculator and quickly nodded.
"Do you want cash or a bank transfer?" the buyer asked.
"Can you transfer me ten thousand, then give me the remaining two thousand or so in cash?" Qin Laigen asked.
"Of course," the buyer nodded with a smile.
He quickly transferred ten thousand, took out some cash, and Qin Laigen couldn’t hide his smile while holding over two thousand yuan.
He estimated that selling these watermelons would take at least half a month, getting up early and working late, but now they’ve sold out immediately, effortlessly.
"These watermelons sold so fast."
"Yes, and at market price!"
"Next year, I’ll plant a few more acres of watermelons!"
People discussed this, and some asked if Qin Yun would buy watermelons next year.
Growing watermelons isn’t hard; selling them is. If sold at wholesale prices, there wouldn’t be much profit.
Selling them oneself means getting up early and working late, plus it’s the hottest time of summer, hot and tiring. So many people only grow as much as they can eat, rarely planting a large amount.
But now, the cafeteria of Celestial Fortune Clothing directly purchases them at market price, and they can be sold as soon as they mature.
Many people started considering it at once.
A few more acres of watermelons would easily sell for tens of thousands of yuan.
Hearing everyone’s inquiries, Qin Yun smiled and said, "Dear elders, we will definitely buy watermelons next year, but if everyone plants them, we can’t buy that many."
With hundreds of acres of watermelons, how long would it take them to consume that?
At this point, the village chief, Qin Dabao, laughed and said, "Everyone, don’t worry. We’ll have a meeting later to plan what to plant in Qin Family Village. Watermelons are okay, but everyone shouldn’t plant only them. Each household can plant a little, then plant other things, ensuring that the vegetables and fruits each family grows can be sold to the Celestial Fortune cafeteria. Otherwise, if Yun’s factory doesn’t need that much, you’ll still have to take the trouble to sell them at the market."
For example, if the whole village only grew tomatoes, the Celestial Fortune cafeteria certainly couldn’t buy them all, just a small part.
But with reasonable planning and growing different things, it would ensure everything could be easily sold.
"Yes, let’s plan!" everyone nodded.
Although their education level isn’t high, these principles can be easily understood.
Every family present had several acres of land, and if used reasonably, the vegetables they grow would all be purchased by the Celestial Fortune cafeteria. If grown well, the annual income would surely be considerable!
Take the watermelons from Qin Laigen’s family; if all ten acres of land were planted, they would certainly earn over a hundred thousand yuan selling to the Celestial Fortune cafeteria!
Apart from growing watermelons, they could also grow other things at other times!
Calculating like this, they could easily earn two hundred thousand yuan a year just from farming!
Thinking this way, everyone suddenly had great expectations for the future.
They chattered about the things they could grow, and someone suddenly asked, "Yun, if we raised aquatic products, like fish and shrimp, would you buy them?"
Hearing this, everyone else immediately reacted.
Yes, not only vegetables and fruits, but other things could be done too.
They knew that the village’s produce would definitely exceed the needs of the Celestial Fortune Clothing cafeteria, but adding aquaculture might not, and everything could be purchased by the cafeteria.
Qin Yun laughed and said, "Of course, we’ll buy them. My factory people can’t eat vegetables alone, right?"
"That’s great!"
Hearing this, everyone was pleased again.
Still, the issue with aquaculture is that selling them is troublesome and there isn’t much of a market.
Some people in Qin Family Village did aquaculture before, but later gave it up.
Watching the excited crowd, Qin Yun also wore a smile.
Anyway, the Celestial Fortune cafeteria needed a large amount of food every day, and buying from Qin Family Village easily improved the lives of its people.
Of course, the things grown and raised by the people of Qin Family Village now exceed the demand of the Celestial Fortune factory; they more than meet the requirement.
"But in the future, as my factory continues to expand, it’ll need even more ingredients, and Qin Family Village might not be enough," Qin Yun thought quietly.
Celestial Fortune is continuing to expand, and Qin Yun will build clothing factories in Qingwu County, recruiting more people!
Qingwu County is a major base for his clothing factory!
Other places will also be developed, but most will be concentrated in Qingwu County.
In his mind, Qin Family Village would eventually become a dedicated food supply base for the Qingwu County Celestial Fortune clothing factory group.
Everyone in Qin Family Village was delighted. At this moment, Qin Xiaoyin looked at her father and couldn’t help but say, "Dad, now that the watermelons are sold out, can I go to school?"
A hint of longing appeared in her eyes.
Before, when she wanted to go to school, her parents said the family was poor and there was too much work in the fields, so they made her help sell watermelons. But now, her brother Qin Yun bought all their watermelons at once, and even the vegetables grown on their land can be purchased by Qin Yun’s factory cafeteria. There was no need to get up early and work late to sell them, and a bit of desire naturally arose in her heart again.
"School?"
Hearing his daughter’s words, Qin Laigen slightly furrowed his brow, but he didn’t immediately refute her; instead, he hesitated a bit.
In fact, he had been reluctant to pay the tuition fees.
Once in high school, the tuition and other costs were obviously not a small number, with dormitory fees and meals at the cafeteria.
His family was poor, so he didn’t let his daughter continue her education, making her help sell things. But now, the farm produce didn’t need to be taken to the market to sell, as it could be sold directly to the Celestial Fortune cafeteria.
