August is a crisp autumn season, it is the season of autumn tigers, it is a good choice to cool off in the courtyard, and the house is a little stuffy.

Qi Jinghong happily sat at the low table, took a cigarette and looked at Qi Jingtao and said, "Xiaotao, some time ago, Uncle Zhengming came to me and said that you want to contract the cherry orchard in the valley of Liangcang River. I came here today because I heard that you have returned, and I came to talk to you about your specific ideas. ”

"Hehe, second brother, I have this idea, but I don't know if the village committee agrees? You know, there are too few fertile fields in our village, less than eight points of land per capita, and one acre of mountainous land. What can such a small amount of land do? It is a pity that such a large area of mountains and depressions as the Liangcang River is barren, with more than 2,000 acres. I've done a soil analysis there, and if there is no water source, it's really not possible to grow food crops, but you can consider building a big orchard. Think about it, how big an orchard can be built on more than 2,000 acres of land, how many peasant workers need to be hired to run the orchard, and how many people in the village are in their forties and fifties? What can they do other than cultivate their own one-third of an acre of land at home? If this orchard is operated, how much output can it produce each year, and how many labor opportunities can it provide for the village? Hehe, of course, the village committee can also have an extra fixed income. ”

Qi Jingtao's unrealistic idea of contracting the thatched river to plant cherries had already been discussed, but he didn't expect his father to really ask the village committee. Now, when the distant cousin of the village party secretary came to ask in person, it must be possible to contract. He no longer has any pressure on his current funds, so he naturally won't miss the opportunity, and at the beginning, he threw so many questions to his cousin who was the village party secretary.

Qi Jinghong smoked his cigarette unhurriedly, pondered, looked at this distant cousin and asked, "Xiaotao, have you thought about how much money you have to invest in it, and how many years will it take to see the benefits?"

"Hehe, second brother, when I talked to my dad about this, I really didn't think about it that far. My dad has analyzed all of these with me, and the main problem is the investment of funds. Later, I re-made the plan, and I also carefully calculated the capital cost that needed to be invested in the first five years, not counting the contract fee, at least about 7 million. Qi Jingtao recalled the orchard management plan he had done and said to Qi Jinghong.

Qi Jinghong's eyes lit up, and he slapped the table and sighed: "Seven million, hehe Xiaotao, if you really invest seven million into it, the mountain depression of Liangcang River is 2,000 acres, including more than 5,000 acres of the surrounding Yansheng slopes." Even if the village committee does not need a single contract fee, it is willing to contract you to operate the orchard. You are turning waste into treasure, of the seven million you invested, of which the cost of seedlings, infrastructure materials and machinery and equipment is used at most, and the rest is labor costs. Hehe, digging in the orchard, planting trees and building roads, these tasks can be done by people in our village. Now go out to work, and those who have the skills to go out to do infrastructure work, at most about 20 yuan a day, and it would be good to have 10 yuan a day for ordinary strength work. You invest money in the development of the orchard, and the labor cost of more than 3 million yuan is generated, how many people in the village can go out to earn a wage while working at home? There is also how much labor can be solved by the annual management and harvesting of the orchard after the completion of the orchard. ”

Qi Jingtao smiled slightly, looked at him and continued: "Second brother, it's more than that. If I want to do it, this orchard will be developed into an ecological orchard. In the orchard, it is not only the planting of fruit trees, but also the breeding industry, seedling cultivation, and medicinal herb cultivation can be gradually carried out. When my orchard is completed, it can also be used as a demonstration, and the surrounding orchards can also be supported, turning our dam in the five districts into a huge ecological agricultural park. ”

Qi Jinghong looked at him in surprise, and only after half a sound did he speak: "You really dare to think, you can really blow, brother." ”

"Hehehe, second brother, isn't it just an idea? and you don't have to spend money, what is there to dare to think. Farmers don't just plant land at home, they can do a lot of things. We don't have many fertile land, but we have a lot of mountains and barren mountains. Besides, the dam in our fifth district is not a place where traffic is blocked, and the national highway line passes through our dam, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to pull out and sell things when they are planted. Hehe, second brother, do you know the new Yunnan Central Agricultural Trade Company that appeared in the town this year?"

Qi Jingtao knew that it was not easy to contract such a large area of mountains, and the village party secretary was just here to test today, he had the money to invest in this orchard, but few people knew that he had this strength. He decided to give the second brother a thorough explanation, otherwise it would not be convincing.

Qi Jinghong suddenly pointed at Qi Jingtao and said: "Are you talking about the agricultural trading company run by Shi Lei in Shijiatang? Hehe, I understand, Shi Lei is your old watch, and that company was actually made by you, right? He has been running mountain goods for more than ten years, and he also rides a motorcycle all over the mountains every day. I said why it was suddenly sent and made such a big company, it turned out that you kid was behind the ghost. ”

"Hehe, second brother, you don't care who is behind the ghost. Can you tell us about the miscellaneous mountain and wild goods sold by the Central Yunnan Agricultural Trade Company, how much more of them are worth to us? If they get these things out and sell them, will they be of any benefit to the people of our five districts? Are there more or fewer mountain and wild goods in the market, and is everyone making money? Where did those things come from? They didn't go around the mountains and pick them up. No one buys it, no one goes to the mountains to look for it, and those things are not rotten in the mountains. These are what the market needs to promote. The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea. We have so many mountains and small valleys on our backs, why do we have to live by planting so much?" Qi Jingtao finished speaking, took a cigarette and looked at Qi Jinghong and smiled.

Qi Jinghong quietly took a sip of tea, took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Hehe, brother, we haven't eaten the mountain yet." After the land is subcontracted, each household develops on its own, and the collective economy wants to learn from the outside to engage in township and town enterprises that we are not good at, but they do not know what to do? At present, the village committee does not have a decent collective enterprise at all, and the original orchards have also been contracted out, and there is only a small contract fee every year. ”

"Hehe, second brother, I'm just an idea, whether I can do it or not depends on your support. If the ecological orchard is completed, the next step is to solve the problem of marketing, and there is still a long way to go. Qi Jingtao is not in a hurry, running an orchard is dispensable for him, so he should chat with him.

Qi Jinghong looked at him approvingly and smiled, and said: "Yes, you have to think about the way back when you do things, just like the farmer's trading company you started, only by selling what is grown in the field and turning it into money." ”

"Hehe, second brother, do you just want to simply sell things? Don't you want to start a business, you see how people do the deep processing of agricultural products through the sea?"

"Brother, you really dare to think that the second brother has obeyed you, or you will come back to be the village party secretary. ”

"Hehe, second brother, your brother and I are not party members, I can't do your position, I still have to be a worker outside. Contracting the mountain, with your support, my dad must be better than me. ”

"Then where did the investment come from, do you remember the sentence that Dr. Ganba said every day?" Qi Jinghong finally couldn't help but ask the question he was most concerned about.
