Chapter 4: The Great Business of Lingcha

Li Dongwen finally answered the children's questions half-truthfully, my name is Li Dongwen, I am from Hong Kong Island, I came to do the tea business, I heard that tea is produced here, so I came to have a look.

The children finally led Li Dongwen to climb a short mountain road, and on a small mountainside, they found a two-story small wooden building, surrounded by a fence courtyard wall.

"This is Grandpa Zhang's house. The little boy pointed to the wooden house.

"Grandpa Zhang, Grandma Zhang, there are guests here. The little girl shouted.

A thin old man came out of the fence courtyard, about sixty years old, in good spirits, presumably Grandpa Zhang.

Li Dongwen arched his hand at the old man: "Excuse me old Zhang!"

"All guests come from afar, our Miao family is the most welcome, please inside!" the old man stretched out his hand to invite.

When they entered the courtyard, the guest and the host did not rush upstairs, but set up a square table in the courtyard, also called the Eight Immortals Table, which was enough to seat eight people.

In early summer, when it is not very hot in the mountains, the children soon start to play in the yard.

"Wife, serve tea to the guests. Uncle Zhang shouted into the hall.

"In Xia Li Dongwen, I am in the tea business on Hong Kong Island, and I heard that the tea here is good, so I took the liberty to disturb it. Li Daxian's face flickered without changing.

After some politeness, the tea was also made.

It's not a Cantonese kung fu tea set, it's boiling water and brewed in a transparent glass cup.

"It tastes good, this year's spring tea bar, it's a good tea. Li Dongwen pretended to take a sip of tea and appreciated it very unwillingly.

The guest and the host chatted for a while, and Li Dongwen learned that Uncle Zhang was the old village chief of the village, and at present, the young people had gone out to work, and no one wanted to be the village chief, a thankless errand.

Uncle Zhang's family also planted a few acres of camellia, and he could fry tea, and this craft has been passed down for several generations.

He also has a son, a master who works as a roasted tea master in the county tea factory, and is known as the chief engineer, but he is actually about to be laid off.

When Li Daxian said that he wanted to buy a tea garden to operate, Village Chief Zhang kept persuading.

"Not to mention the hard work of making tea, the main reason is that it can't be sold at a price, it can't make any money, and a few families in the village don't want to do it, and even the state-owned tea factory in the county, the workers are basically laid off. Uncle Zhang sighed.

When Village Chief Zhang asked Li Gangshang how big a tea garden he wanted to buy, Li Daxian flickered: "The bigger the better, I see that the surrounding mountains are good, I want to buy them all, or rent them." ”

"If you are so big, I can't be the master, and the township chief can't be the master, at least I have to go to the county. Uncle Zhang suggested.

"Are you willing to rent in your village, and how much is the rent a year?" Li Gangshang then asked.

"One acre of tea plantation, we work hard for a year, and we can earn hundreds of dollars. Of course we are willing to rent, and we don't have to work hard ourselves. 50 yuan a mu, we are willing to rent. Village Chief Zhang replied.

Li Gangshang thought in his heart, this Daxian can't be stingy, how can he have a hundred thousand acres.

This rent is only five million a year, and if you build a tea factory to roast tea, you can count it as another five million.

And then hire people to do the work, well, that's the main purpose, each person to take care of one acre of tea plantation? Isn't it too obvious? 10 acres per person, this is the tea planter, this is 10,000 people.

If you still want to pick tea, you can pick tea in spring and autumn, and hire another 10,000 people.

There are also 10,000 people who roast tea.

There is also a packaging factory, a forest guard or something, well, it's called a security guard here, and then there are 10,000 people waiting for it.

That adds up to 40,000 guys.

The salaries of the guys must be high, otherwise how can it be called "benefit"? How much is appropriate?

"How much is the salary of the tea factory in the county?" asked Li Gangshang again.

"The average salary is about 200 yuan per month. Village Chief Zhang replied.

The guest and the host chatted for a while, and Village Chief Zhang Luo wanted to eat, but Li Daxian resolutely refused: "I still have something to do, I am in a hurry to go to the county, and I will come to disturb Village Chief Zhang next time." ”

After bidding farewell to Village Chief Zhang, Li Gangshang calculated that Ben Daxian would be hired according to 5 times the salary, 1,000 yuan per month, and these 40,000 people would be 40 million per month, close to 500 million per year.

At this moment, Li Daxian has no concept of the wealth of this plane, 500 million is just a number in his heart, and he doesn't know what such a large sum of money means, especially in 1998, not the year 2018 he saw in a hurry, a difference of twenty years.

He doesn't know how much housing prices have risen in the past 20 years, and how much prices have risen.

So, is the next step to negotiate a lease of land in the county, or is it better to find money first?

Is Li Dongwen short of money? Of course there is no shortage, the wealth and land of the Dharma couple, Li Daxian are all the top, and the best spirit stones are piled up.

Is Li Gangshang short of money? He is very short, and now he has not a dime on him.

It seems that we still have to find the money first.

Li Hong Kong businessman suddenly realized that my identity as a Hong Kong businessman who suddenly appeared was a problem, and I couldn't stand up to scrutiny. The children didn't check my ID card, but the government here wants to check it.

In the last "seven-day trip around the world", Benxian also wanted to take a plane and take a high-speed rail, but he didn't have an ID card, and he flew around by himself. I'm going to stay on this plane for 10 more years, and I'm going to have to get an ID.

Since he already claims to be a Hong Kong businessman, of course he is going to Hong Kong Island.

Li Dongwen has a habit of marking his own divine sense wherever he goes.

The advantage of the divine sense mark is that it can break through the distance limit and can be sensed at any time, which is equivalent to modern GPS positioning.

Li Dongwen followed the imprint of his divine consciousness left last time, and it didn't take much time to come to Hong Kong Island, it was in the evening.

At the beginning of the lanterns, Victoria Harbor was brightly lit, and Li Dongwen was blowing the sea breeze and enjoying the sea view, which was a little trance. I feel very comfortable: it seems that it is not bad to experience Hongchen in this plane.

Li Dongwen walked along the seaside, walked to a wharf, unconsciously released his senses, and found that the population here is relatively dense, and the dense fishing boats, and even the bamboo rafts on the boats, have been built into rooms, and there are also people living in them, which are very crowded and even a little unbearable.

Li Dongwen always felt that this plane was too crowded and cramped, and not atmospheric enough.

It's too small here, such a small plane, crowded with so many people, and some can't stretch their hands and feet.

If this encounters an immortal fight, a spell will come down, move mountains and reclaim the sea, and the group will be wiped out, so crowded life, it seems unreasonable.

Li Dongwen used the eyes of the fairy world to examine this plane and found that there were many problems.

However, he quickly readjusted his thinking. There are a lot of people, a good thing, can we build a rudder here? Build a few buildings, commercial buildings or something, it seems to be good.

The people here don't seem to be living well, do they also need to be "benefited"?

At this moment, Li Dongwen has not changed his appearance, he is still a middle-aged man in his thirties, still in a suit and leather shoes, and looks like a wealthy businessman.

However, this trick succeeded in attracting the attention of one person.
