Chapter 145 Reaching a Beekeeping Agreement
Li Goudan glanced at his son who was playing with mud on the side, and said with an ugly face: "Xiaofei, beekeeping, forget it, not to mention that you can't earn a few dollars, it's quite dangerous." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Because Xinghua Village is surrounded by mountains, fragrant flowers, and lush trees, generations of beekeepers of the old Li family have been beekeeping in the yard, unlike beekeepers in some places, who have to wander around with beehives to find the forest, so that the bees can have nectar to collect.
Therefore, in terms of subjective assumptions, Li Goudan thought that Ye Xiaofei wanted to persuade his father to reopen his old business of raising bees in the courtyard.
Ye Xiaofei put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Brother Godan, you misunderstood what I meant, you play with Brother Huzi and take me to play, and don't forget me if you have any delicious wild fruits and game, can I persuade you to do that dangerous thing?"
Li Goudan was puzzled: "Then you want us to go into the mountains to raise bees? This is not suitable, you also know that it will take several months to go into the mountains to guard the beehive, and if you can't go back to your home, it is better to go to the big city to work if you have that hard work, and you can earn more."
Ye Xiaofei knew Li Goudan's urgency, so he said patiently: "Brother Goudan, listen to me, I got some wild bees back from the persimmon orchard, and I thought that your family is the best at this in these ten miles and eight villages, so I want to ask the second uncle to go out of the mountain with you." β
Li Goudan looked at Ye Xiaofei with some suspicion, took a sip of tea and said: "What are you doing with bees? That thing doesn't make money if you raise too little, and it's not easy to sell honey if you raise too much, Xiaofei, it's not my brother who said you, you are now tossing a bunch of sales, and you are an orchard and a greenhouse of vegetables, can you make money? Listen to my brother's advice, save some money to marry a daughter-in-law, you are not too young, look at your nephew, you will really be able to make soy sauce in another year and a half." β
Ye Xiaofei knew that Li Goudan was also worried about himself, so he didn't feel impatient, but after patiently listening to Li Goudan finish speaking, he threw a bombshell.
"Brother Dog, I played a big game this time, and I got more than 400 boxes of wild bees, and the sales are absolutely fine. I'm sending you and my second uncle to help me take the helm. β
Seeing that Ye Xiaofei's confident words didn't seem to be joking, Li Goudan asked seriously: "How many do you say? Four hundred boxes? are they all wild bees? My mother, how did you get it, of course the honey produced by wild bees is not sold." β
Ye Xiaofei smiled and said, "To be exact, it's four hundred and thirty-six boxes, Brother Dogan, if you two are willing to go, I can give you a salary of five thousand per month, and the harvest will be counted as a bonus." You can discuss with the second uncle how many more people can be busy, and then I will ask my father to go to the village to find someone to help you. β
Li Goudan was suddenly a little dazed, stunned for a while, and then asked emotionally: "Five thousand? It's 60,000 yuan a year, so don't you do it." Xiaofei, my brother did it with you. β
As he was talking, Second Uncle Li came back with the cow, and Ye Xiaofei hurriedly got up to say hello.
After a few simple greetings, Li Goudan couldn't wait to go forward to discuss with his father what Ye Xiaofei had just said.
Second Uncle Li was tying up cattle in the cowshed, and suddenly raised his voice and said: "What? More than 400 nests of wild bees, Xiaofei, you tell the second uncle the truth, whether it is a real wild bee or not, don't you want to fool people, when the time comes, you can't sell honey, and you will suffer a loss." β
Ye Xiaofei said: "Don't worry, second uncle, I can still lie to you about this, you are an expert, you will know if you look at it in the past." β
Second Uncle Li nodded and said, "That's right, but what method did you kid use to introduce so many wild bees, I took a lot of effort to move over three nests of wild bees a few years ago, and I was stung several times, and I saw that you didn't have a big bag on your body." β
Ye Xiaofei smiled, and before he could answer, he saw Li Goudan gently push his father with his shoulder, and said, "Dad, what are you asking about, people's method of attracting wild bees must be a secret, you can say it casually." β
Second Uncle Li smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, yes, it's the second uncle who is too talkative." Feiwazi, do you want to discuss this matter with your father? To be honest, this beekeeping is not too rare technical work, we also got two boxes to play in Kaishan when we were young, how good it is for you to let him help, our old Li family takes you 60,000 a year, and the second uncle is not sure. β
Ye Xiaofei shook his head and said, "Second uncle, it's not a family of 60,000, I mean to give you a dog brother a salary of 5,000 per person per month, and the bonus will be calculated separately when the honey is harvested." β
Second Uncle Li's mouth trembled, and said: "What, 60,000 yuan per person? Silly child, this can't be helped, why don't you feel distressed about spending money, even if you invest other people's money, we have to be responsible for others." β
Because of the white lies made up before, the people in the village thought that Ye Xiaofei was investing for others.
Ye Xiaofei said with a smile: "Second uncle, don't worry, this is definitely not much, when the beehives of our bee breeding base are expanded, good days are still ahead." β
After some negotiations, Second Uncle Li and Li Goudan completely decided to do it with Ye Xiaofei, they couldn't earn 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a year from farming, and the salary given by Ye Xiaofei was several times stronger than farming.
After finalizing the two main technical backbones, Ye Xiaofei asked for advice: "Second uncle, Brother Godan, do you think that more than 400 boxes of bees will take care of how many people can take care of them? β
Second Uncle Li lit the dry smoke and swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog twice, and said: "Feiwazi, it stands to reason that your beehive is fixed and stocked, so you don't need to take it everywhere to find honey, and the two of us can actually be busy."
But to be on the safe side, you'd better bring two more people over, and we'll be able to work shifts with one of them. Of course, if you feel that your salary is tight, we can give them some money. β
Ye Xiaofei nodded and said, "Second uncle, you don't have to worry about money, you and Brother Goudan are both doing technical work, and I can count on you for these wild bees, as for the helpers, there are only two people in a shift, and it is too tiring to take care of more than 400 beehives, I will find you eight more, and the salary of two thousand should be about the same, right?"
Second Uncle Li waved his hand and said, "Why did you use so many people, you don't need to use it, then you have to pay a lot of money." β
Ye Xiaofei said: "Second uncle, if there are more people, you can relax a lot." I know that you have an ancestral way to get the bees to collect more honey, so you can spare time to help me figure out how to increase the yield of honey, and when the production comes, the money from the hired workers will come back. β
Second Uncle Li nodded, and he agreed to come down to this matter.
After Ye Xiaofei returned home, he told his parents about recruiting people, and Ye Kaishan put on his clothes and was going out to recruit people.
Before the door went out, I saw Wang Qiuxiang crying and crying into the Ye family's courtyard.
