Early the next day, Peter and his family went up the hill.
Starting now, this wasteland had become Peter’s contracted territory.
“Pete, is this hill ours now?” Kate was the most excited one, running up the hill with a backpack in no time.
Liza Smith also found it unbelievable.
“Peter, how are you going to develop it without any money?”
Thinking of what happened last night, Peter also found it amusing.
It seemed like Grayson Walter the village chief was very afraid that he would not contract this wasteland, so he immediately called a meeting with the village cadres.
Before Peter could bargain, Grayson and the others had directly contracted a large piece of land below the hill in addition to the wasteland, and signed a contract for seventy years, only asking for 100,000 dollars.
Peter thought it was so surreal, as he was now a landlord with his own piece of land.
“Mom, don’t worry.
Kate’s school fees will not be affected.
Besides the contracted fees, I will also find some more money to develop this place.”
“Peter, what do you plan to do?”
Raven was also excited, grinning from ear to ear.
At this moment, everyone saw some people coming up the hill again.
In addition to Grayson, all the village cadres had arrived, as well as some young women from the village.
They all came up to see what Peter’s development plan was.
“Peter, you’ve contracted such a large piece of land.
What’s your plan?
Don’t let your money go to waste.”
Although Grayson was happy about Peter contracting the land, he was also worried that the money Peter spent might not be worth it.
Vincent Harris, the village accountant, also said, “Peter, you didn’t contract the good land that was available.
Why did you contract this wasteland?
This money could be spent in better ways, right?”
Seeing everyone’s concerns, Peter smiled and said, “Thank you for your concern.
It’s all fine.
Our village is not an undevelopable village.
I plan to develop our village well.”
“Peter, how do you plan to develop it?” Quinn Walker, the village beauty, looked at Peter with her beautiful eyes, curious about this young man who had just been released from prison.
“Yeah, Peter, do you need our help?”
Hearing everyone’s questions, Peter pointed to the hill and said: “Actually, while this hill cannot grow crops, it can still grow various medicinal herbs.
You may not know this, but I have an herbal wine-making recipe that has very good effects on nourishing and strengthening.
This time, I’m bringing this wine to let some people try it.
As a result, they placed an order for the first batch of one hundred jars of wine, and in the future, they will continue to supply them with wine.
These one hundred jars are worth 100,000 dollars, the money I used to contract the land yesterday.
Next, I will expand production, and by then it won’t be just one or two jars, or a hundred thousand dollars.
There will be more and more money, and I will develop this place into an herb cultivation base.
If you have nothing to do, you can work for me here, and the wages will be no lower than those in town.”
“Peter, how much are the wages?” A woman asked loudly.
“Peter, if we work in the county without food and accommodation, it’s at least 1,000 dollars a month.”
“Yeah, that’s not a small amount of money.”
“If you’re willing and able to work hard for me, I will pay you 2,000 dollars a month.”
What Peter said made Raven’s eyelids twitch, as if he wanted to cover his son’s mouth.
Liza was also dumbfounded by her son’s words.
“Really?” Everyone was shocked.
No one expected Peter to offer such high wages.
“Of course it’s true.
Do you think 2,000 dollars is a high amount?
As long as this place develops, your income will increase even more.”
“Son!”
Raven could not help but tug on Peter’s clothes.
Peter smiled and said, “Dad, don’t worry, I’m confident about this.”
Raven thought that since his son had made so much money after just one trip to the city, it meant that Peter had his ideas and insights.
He didn’t need to interfere with his son’s plans.
“Peter, can I work for you?” Quinn looked at Peter with her sparkling eyes.
Before Peter could speak, Quinn said, “I’ve also graduated from high school, and my grades were really good in class.
Ask Kate if you don’t believe me.”
Kate said to Peter, “Pete, Quinn would definitely be in college now if her family wasn’t in a difficult situation.
She’s really good.”
Peter nodded and asked: “Have you studied accounting or anything like that?”
“I am currently learning on my own.”
“Alright, you can come work then.
2,000 dollars a month.”
Had he already hired one worker?
Seeing that Peter had already started recruiting, everyone quickly offered their services. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Seeing everyone so enthusiastic and noticing the worried look on his father’s face, Peter laughed and said, “Okay, it’s good that everyone is interested.
For the next step, my father will be in charge of recruiting.
We want people who can work hard, and who have some ability in the field of growing medicinal herbs.”
Seeing that Peter had recruited a beautiful woman, while his father would recruit the rest of the workers, everyone laughed quietly and glanced at Quinn before looking back at Peter.
Quinn was delighted in her heart.
Her family was in a very difficult situation.
Recently, she had been urged by her sisters who went to work in the city to join them, but she was worried that if she left, there would be no one to take care of her sick mother.
Peter’s agreement to pay her a monthly salary of 2,000 dollars was like saving her whole family.
Therefore, her eyes were full of gratitude when looking at Peter.
“Peter, you need to pick some herbal medicine, let me help you.”
Seeing Quinn offering to help, others also began to offer their help.
Peter listed the herbs he needed and asked everyone to help pick them.
Watching everyone helping out, Liza pulled Peter aside and whispered, “Peter, can we really grow herbs here?”
“Mom, don’t worry, I studied the herbal medicine market conditions while I was in prison.
It’s definitely not a problem.
Of course, we will start by growing the medicinal herbs needed for wine, and then when we make money, we will expand step by step.”
Feeling reassured thinking about the hundred jars of wine at home, Liza glanced at the busy Quinn in the distance and whispered, “Tell me the truth, do you like Quinn?”
Peter finally understood what everyone was thinking and hurried to reply: “Mom, you’re thinking too much.
I’m now focused on my career.
I don’t want to think about other things.”
Liza Smith just smiled and said, “Quinn is a great girl.
We know her very well.”
