The entire town of Xiangshui was plunged into a sea of celebration, although there are not many residents, but these people have also had a good harvest this year.
The next day, the harvester on Liu Heming's side began to help the rest of the people harvest wheat. The wheat is for the big guys, and the wheat stalks are for Liu Heming.
In the past, they used to plough the ground and use it as fertilizer, but this is coarse fertilizer, and now it seems to be a bit wasteful. These are all important raw materials in Liu Heming's fertilizer factory, and some of them can also be used as feed for cattle and sheep in the future.
This year is a good year, but this year has not made as much money as last year. The selling price of wheat is too different from last year, and even if the production increases, there is still a loss in terms of total income.
However, this is also the last year that everyone farms, and no one cares about even if the income is less. After the harvest, I felt a little relaxed, and I didn't have to worry about these crops anymore.
Liu Yi also finally returned from Mexico with his children, a total of 46, two of whom were children of relatives of ranch workers. This was brought back by Liu Yi himself, because life over there was really bad.
"Hey, I don't know, some of the cities over there are completely different worlds. Liu Yi sat on the sofa and sighed.
"Why do you go out and feel so deeply?" asked Liu Heming curiously.
"If you often see corpses when you walk down the street, you don't say that. Liu Yi said with some resentment.
"When I started, I was terrified. I thought I had come to the war zone, but later I learned that it was normal for such a situation over there. The men, along with homemade armoured trucks and earthen tanks, were parked on the street corner. ”
"It's normal to hear gunshots when you sleep at night, and when you look out the window of the hotel, you can see the scene of their firefight, which is much more real than watching a movie. ”
"Is there really that much chaos over there?" asked Liu Heming curiously.
He could see the fear in Liu Yi's eyes, which was the spontaneous fear in his heart when he recalled the scene he saw.
Liu Yi nodded, "In cities where the situation is better, people have their own jobs, and most of these workers are from these areas controlled by drug traffickers. ”
"This past has touched me so deeply, I never thought that there would be such a life in such an era. Even if you are poorer in some parts of our country, you don't have to worry about not knowing where a bullet will fly and kill you. ”
Liu Heming stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Our ability is limited after all, and bringing these children here can be regarded as a good deed." Let's take a good rest these days, there is nothing going on in the town for the time being. If it doesn't work, go to Emilia and let her comfort you. ”
After Liu Heming finished speaking, he squeezed his eyes.
Liu Yi rolled his eyes, just now he really thought that this product was very considerate of himself, but he didn't expect it to be to ridicule himself.
"By the way, how was the girl last time?
"It's passed, they are real high-achieving students, and they have helped us, but they are some homely. Liu Heming smiled and nodded.
"It won't be long before the plan for Xiangshui Town can be made, and you and George will be busy when the time comes. Although the construction of Xiangshui Town has not yet been completed, some subsidiary departments also have to prepare. ”
"For example, the fire department, the town office staff, the municipal staff, these have to be carefully selected. In terms of salary, you and George decide. Even if it's a little higher, it's fine, but make sure they are worthy of the salary. Some positions, not so important, can be selected from the first batch of townspeople we recruited. ”
Liu Yi nodded, "The key is to see how many people our town can attract." No one, even if we give us a high salary, it is not so easy to recruit. And with so many jobs, it's best to beckon the residents of the town. ”
"What about the workers in your ranch? Do you need me to fly to Huaxia again to recruit some people? The number of workers you need next year will be at least two hundred, right?"
"I'm afraid two hundred is not enough, not to mention the land that will be sown next year, even the vegetable sheds will be built one after another. How can a shed need three people to take care of it, which requires about 300 people. Liu Heming said with a wry smile.
"Let's rest for two days first, and then you can go back to the recruitment, and when the time comes, how can you make up enough. We can provide some convenience for the children of these workers to study, but only in our primary schools. They will be responsible for the cost of the secondary school, and we will take care of the pick-up. ”
Liu Yi nodded, such conditions are already very generous. After all, public schools in the United States are only free for children of American nationality. Foreign children, although there is a reduction, but the share is very small.
After chatting with Liu Yi for a while, Chen Shouxin received another call from Susanna.
"How are vegetables and wheat connected?" Liu Heming asked with a smile.
"Whole Foods is still sticking to their pricing principles, but they can sign some small contracts with some ingredient buyers, and there are still some details that need to be signed. Suzanne said.
"There was a flour mill that was interested in our wheat, but they only offered us $290 for 50 tons. ”
"Really, fifty tons is nothing more than five hundred dollars, and this little money is all taken care of. What about the freight?" asked Liu Heming depressedly.
"That's what we're selling, and they're going to contact the vehicle to come and ship it. Suzanne said with a smile.
"Okay, then sell it to them. In just over three months, this year's spring wheat will also have to be harvested, and it is useless to keep so much. Liu Heming said.
"Boss, I think we should think about the wheat in the future. Suzanne said.
"This year's planting area is smaller, but next year you have at least about 2,000 acres of wheat in your plan, and the planting area will increase year by year. At that time, there would be a lot of pressure on wheat sales, even more so than the pressure on vegetables now. ”
"It seems that we should really adjust it appropriately in the future, and give the rest of the wheat to the Qatari royal family fifty tons, and we will grind the flour ourselves. Anyway, the restaurant needs flour too, so you don't have to worry about wheat anymore. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"We have to worry more about vegetables, this can make quick money, what we need now is money. By the way, have Citi and **** contacted you? ”
"Not yet, and I haven't contacted them. If they don't contact me by the end of the month, will we have to contact the rest of the banks?" asked Suzanne.
"Don't worry, there are not a few days left, you can try it now. Anyway, there are a lot of high-profile drinks in New York, so you can get an invitation according to your ability, so have fun. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"I'm going to put some publicity into the media in the near future, and the cost is about $150,000. Suzanne said after a moment's hesitation.
"OK, it's up to you. If you feel that you have the necessary expenses, you don't need to ask me for advice. Now is the time for sales companies to open up the situation, and it's okay to spend some money. Liu Heming said happily.
"If you have time, you can go back to the ranch to rest for two days, the lotus flowers in the pond have bloomed, and in a few days, all the lotus flowers in the pond will be in full bloom, it will be very beautiful. ”
After hanging up the phone, Liu Heming stretched his waist.
Originally, the wheat was not going to be sold to the Qatari royal family, because the quality of the wheat was still a little worse. But just a little wheat involved a lot of Susanna's energy, and there was no need for that. There is not a lot of money in total, and after dealing with it, Suzanne can also focus on vegetable sales, which is the focus of her work.
This wheat sale also proves Susanna's ability to sell again, even if it is $290, which is much higher than the transaction price of wheat this year, and this is still without USDA certification.
In fact, don't look at him in the pasture, and feel sad in my heart. Because the positioning of ranch products is a little embarrassing, because the quality is too good, it is even more difficult to sell.
The mood was a little more relaxed, and then he went to the living room to play with his daughter and the little animals.
In fact, even he likes to play with these little animals, but more often than not, he is occupied by his daughter. Today, these little animals are on vacation, because the children of Teresa came to play with her.
took the little square cat into his arms and rubbed it on their fleshy bodies, in exchange for the eyes of people who were very disgusted. The current little square cat is estimated to have grown up, not only with a large body, but also with a fatter body.
"How did you complete the task assigned to you?" asked Liu Heming, holding the body of a small square cat.
They ignored him, just tilted their heads to the side and yawned. I haven't slept enough, so where can I have the time to worry about this?
"You better give them a good rest, it's getting hotter and hotter lately, and they're getting lazier. Sasha said with a smile.
"I want them to lose weight, they've grown so fat. Liu Heming said and put the little square cat on the sofa.
The body was lying down, and the little square cat turned over comfortably, kicked its paws a few times, and began to enjoy it lying flat with its four paws facing the sky.
"In a few days, I'm going to start going to work at the clinic. Sasha sat down beside him and said solemnly.
"Why don't we take a few more days off at home?" Liu Heming said, taking her hand.
He's been tired of being together all this time, but he doesn't feel anything. But now that I hear that Sasha is going to work, I am still a little reluctant.
Sasha gave him a white look, "It's so close, what is there to take a vacation." Now those medical equipment are in the commissioning stage, and after the commissioning, we will give you a detailed physical examination. ”
"Okay, you can do these whatever you want, you just have fun. I don't know when Dwyer will be back, so you can take it easy. Liu Heming said helplessly.
He really doesn't want his daughter-in-law to go out to work, and he can't wait to be by his side every day.
