After saying that, Li Chenmo stood up, walked to the cupboard, and took out a tray filled with several jars of snacks. Placing the tray on the table, he said, "These were made by my wife. Please, have a try."

Jiang Ziyu let out a quiet sigh of relief and sat back down when he heard this.

Looking at the beautifully arranged snacks, he praised, "Brother Chenmo, you are truly blessed. Sister-in-law has remarkable skills. This is the first time I have seen snacks like these."

Feeling proud, Li Chenmo finally smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, you are overpraising her. It’s just my wife’s little hobby."

After tasting the snacks, Jiang Ziyu finally brought up the main topic, "Brother Chenmo, about the fertilizer you mentioned—"

"It’s stored in the backyard. Please, come with me," Li Chenmo said, standing up and leading them outside.

Seeing him leave, they quickly followed. When they reached the backyard, Jiang Ziyu was stunned by the vast yard and the large bamboo structures.

Nudging his friend, he asked in a low voice, "Ah Yun, why did your brother build so many houses?"

"That’s not a house—it’s a greenhouse for planting."

"A greenhouse? You mean like the ones built by researchers?" Jiang Ziyu asked in surprise.

Li Lingyun nodded and said, "It serves the same purpose, but my Third Brother replaced the usual materials with bamboo and thatch. He also built an outdoor stove to keep the room warm during winter."

After a brief silence, Jiang Ziyu muttered, "Your Third Brother is really something."

Unaware of their whispered conversation, Li Chenmo led them to a corner of the backyard, where he picked up a sack of compost.

Untying the rope, he said, "This is the fertilizer I told you about. It’s called compost—made from organic waste."

Jiang Ziyu peered inside and saw a mixture of decomposing leaves and vegetable scraps, and asked, "Brother Chenmo, how do you plan to sell this?"

Li Chenmo thought for a moment and replied, "Since the materials cost almost nothing, my wife and I decided to sell it for 50 cents per kilogram. Each sack weighs 50 kilograms, so the price per sack is 25 yuan."

Hearing this, Jiang Ziyu glanced at the towering pile and asked, "Brother Chenmo, how much do you have?"

Glancing at the pile, Li Chenmo replied, "Right now, we have around 500 to 600 sacks at most."

Jiang Ziyu knew that decomposing leaves and organic waste could be used as fertilizer, but their effectiveness was often inferior to manure-based fertilizers. But he trusted the quality of Li Chenmo’s fertilizer.

He hadn’t come here just to discuss a business investment—he also needed a way to improve the soil quality in his area. No matter what business he pursued, he was still a farmer, and his family depended on agriculture.

His area had suffered a failed summer harvest and was now facing a food shortage. Even with money, there was little food available to buy in the market. If he couldn’t secure a way to improve next year’s harvest, the consequences would be dire.

After weighing the pros and cons, he finally said, "Brother Chenmo, if possible, can you sell all your fertilizer to me? I will pay you 10,000 yuan as a deposit and settle the rest when the goods are delivered."

After a quick calculation, Li Chenmo nodded and agreed readily, "Alright. Let’s discuss the details inside."

He tied the sack again and placed it back in the corner before leading them back to the living room.

This time, Jiang Ziyu took several documents from his cotton bag and placed them on the table. Pushing them toward Li Chenmo, he said, "Brother Chenmo, this is the contract for your investment."

Taking the documents, Li Chenmo read through them carefully.

In his past life, he had handled one of the biggest international corporations, making him well-versed in investment and business contracts. Compared to the detailed agreements of the future, business contracts in this era were rough and simplistic. He finished reading in less than five minutes.

Placing the documents down, he said, "Brother Jiang, since this is an investment, I understand that risks are involved. However, you haven’t clearly outlined the risks or what consequences you will face if the business fails."

Jiang Ziyu frowned at his words and said, "Brother Chenmo, I will do my best to make this business successful. If it fails, I will try my best to compensate you. But you know as well as I do—if the business fails, I won’t have the means to repay your money."

Li Chenmo smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, I trust you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t invest. But for the sake of both parties, it’s best to put everything written in black and white."

"The amount I’m investing is 500,000 yuan. That’s not a small sum. It’s reasonable to ensure the terms are clearly stated in the contract, don’t you think?" he asked.

Jiang Ziyu was stunned when he heard his words. He had hoped for at least 100,000 yuan which was an amount more than enough to start the business. He never expected Li Chenmo to invest five times that amount.

After a moment of disbelief, he took a deep breath and said, "Brother Chenmo, feel free to state your terms."

Li Chenmo smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, I want 70% of the shares."

Both Jiang Ziyu and Li Lingyun were taken aback by his bold request.

Noticing their reactions, Li Chenmo continued, "Since Brother Jiang is only contributing manpower and connections, it’s fair that you receive fewer shares."

"After all, even if the business fails, you won’t suffer any financial losses. But for me and Second Brother, if this business fails, we lose everything. Therefore, I want 70% of the shares, 21% for my Second Brother, and the remaining 9% for you."

"As for dividends, we will distribute them every six months. The dividends will be based on our respective shares and taken from half of the net profit. The remaining half will be reinvested to expand the business."
