"The farm is divided into five areas, two by the sea, 900 acres to the south for banana orchards and 1,200 acres for pineapple orchards to the north. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"The middle 120 acres are mainly warehouses, processing rooms and living areas, and there is also a lake about 30 acres next to the villa, and the lake water is used for irrigation. Inland, 3,400 acres in the mountains to the north are apple orchards, and 3,200 acres to the south are red grape orchards. ”

As he spoke, he arrived at a lawn, on which several electric sightseeing cars were parked.

"Get in the car, I'll show you around."

Old John smiled and let everyone get into the car, and drove along the concrete road to tour the orchard farm. After passing through the banana orchard, pineapple orchard, apple orchard, passing through the red grape garden, going around, and finally arriving at the living area in the middle.

In the middle of this area, the left near the pineapple orchard is the living area, there is a small villa, the small lake is behind the villa, part of the villa is on the water, the water scenery is very good.

About two or three miles to the west of the cottage, there are two rows of workers' houses, lined up to form a small block.

In the past, near the corner of the red grape orchard and apple orchard, there is a warehouse and processing room.

Old John, after each fruit is picked, it is transported to the processing room, where the potion is disinfected first, and then coarsely selected, coarsely packaged, and then packed in a warehouse.

After walking around the central district, and back to the door of the cottage, old John invited everyone into the house.

His wife, a chubby white woman, was very enthusiastic about making coffee for everyone, and stood aside with a smile on her face.

Old John said: "I sold this farm of mine, and I am going to go back to my hometown with my wife to live the rest of my life in peace, Zhou, if you want to buy it, I can make a slight concession in terms of price, but I have one condition." ”

Zhou Yu looked at him and nodded: "What conditions?" ”

Old John was stunned: "On my farm, many old fellows have worked for me for many years. I'm leaving, and I can't help but think about it. Mr. Zhou, if you want to buy my farm, you must be responsible for my workers. This is my only plea! ”

In fact, after visiting this farm, Zhou Yu has already made up his mind to buy.

Although this farm is an orchard farm, for Zhou Yu, whether it is planting fruit trees, vegetables, or jade seal balls, it is actually the same.

Moreover, the fruit trees on this farm are all mature and have already borne fruit, which can directly create profits, so a lot of preliminary work is saved.

From Li Jing, he also learned a lot about the United States. Immigrant investment, not only because you have money, you can become a U.S. citizen, but more importantly, create jobs in the United States!

Although he didn't know much about the workers on the farm, there was no doubt that the farm needed workers. Instead of recruiting new recruits, it is better to use old people. At least they are journeymen.

Of course, there may be some trouble in this, so Zhou Yu said: "Old John, you are proposing, and I agree with it in principle." But I'll be right ahead, if a worker doesn't obey the arrangement, then I can fire him! ”

"Of course!" Old John laughed: "Mr. Zhou, thank you! ”

Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head.

Then, we talked about the price.

Old John's farm, everything is complete, packaged and sold to Zhou Yu, and the price he offered is 15 million US dollars. This includes all the fruit trees, buildings, and all kinds of tools and equipment.

Calculated together, this price does not seem to be high.

After negotiating the problem of the workers, Old John took the initiative to give 500,000 yuan, and Smith bargained with him on the side, and the final price was set at 14 million US dollars!

When Zhou Yu no longer hesitated, he signed the contract and paid directly!

Zhou Yu and Old John each signed their names on the contract, Old John exhaled a long breath, and the whole person's spirit changed slightly.

He didn't say anything, took Zhou Yu out, and asked someone to call all the workers on the entire farm.

Hundreds of people!

The 100 or so workers were divided into five teams, four of which were responsible for different orchards, and the other was responsible for farm security, each with a leader. Of the five principals, there are three white, one Latino, and one black.

Half of the nearly 100 workers are white, about a dozen are Latinos, about 20 are blacks, and the rest are Asians. Among the Asians, there is not a single Chinese American, all of them are Japanese and Korean.

"Guys."

Old John sighed: "From this day on, this farm no longer belongs to Old John." As you all know, I was ready to sell the farm for a long time, so I should have been mentally prepared. I have good news for you, that the new farmer, your boss, the young man next to me, has decided to hire you to work for him as usual! ”

"Hmmm!"

When the workers heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Some of the lads also clapped each other's hands and expressed their joy.

Old John took a step back and gave up his position to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and slowly expressed his meaning in English: "My name is Zhou Yu, you can call me Zhou in the future, I am from Great Xia, I am very happy to meet you!" ”

"Old John said, 'You are all good keepers of the orchard, and I have no reason to dismiss you.'" I also need you to work for me. ”

"I came here and immigrated here not because I had money, I was in the plantation business, and I didn't do it to play. I think everyone wants to make the farm better and better, so that everyone's salary and benefits will also rise. ”

"In order to celebrate and welcome the new life on the farm, I have decided to increase everyone's salary by five percentage points!"

"Oh yes!"

Many workers were happy.

Although five percentage points is not much, it is a complete indication of the attitude of the new boss.

It's about doing this farm well, not for fun.

In this way, everyone can have peace of mind.

"Okay, let's all go to work, and the five people in charge stay."

The workers dispersed in twos and threes, and only five people in charge remained.

These five people are not young, only the person in charge of the security team is slightly younger, but looking at it, he is also in his thirties.

The five of them introduced themselves, and the head of the apple orchard was Andrew, forty-three years old, tall and thin, wearing a yellow and white plaid shirt and a straw hat.

The person in charge of the Red Grapes Garden was called Leo, forty-five years old, a big fat man, with a smile on his face.

The head of the banana plantation is a black Stark, with the same name as that Iron Man, and his face is so black that only the whites of his eyes can be seen.

The head of the pineapple orchard is a Latino Owen, who doesn't seem to have any expression on his face, and his muscles twitch when he laughs, as if he has some kind of illness.

Finally, the person in charge of the security team is called Jim, thirty-two years old, more than 1.9 meters tall, and full of muscles! He is a retired junior officer in the United States Air Force.

After getting to know these five people, Zhou Yu didn't say much, and he didn't think of anything to say for the time being, so he just asked them to do things according to the original rules of the farm, so he sent these five people.

When I turned around, I found that Old John and his wife had already left.

Just as Zhou Yu was talking to the workers, he quietly left.

Zhou Yu scratched his head, these old couples are really simple!

The purchase of the farm has been completed, and Zhou Yu settled the service fee for Smith, and Smith followed.

Only Li Jing was left beside him, and the old man was driving a wheelchair, observing the environment beside him.

"Sister Li, you can help me hire a nanny as soon as possible." Zhou Yu glanced at the old man over there: "I want to be Chinese, mainly to take care of my grandfather." The price or something, you look at it. ”

Li Jing nodded: "Okay." ”

"In addition, you prepare the investment certificate, and handle the immigration of me and my grandfather as soon as possible, and get American citizenship first." Zhou Yu said again: "Also, I don't know the situation here, some financial and tax matters will be handed over to you." ”

Li Jing smiled: "It is my job to serve the boss." ”

"Oh, yes."

Zhou Yu was about to leave, but suddenly said: "I'm going to get two people from China to come over, work here, you may need to go through some procedures, and when they come, Sister Li, you can also help with it." ”

Originally, Zhou Yu was going to gain a firm foothold in the United States first, and then take Wang Xiaohu and Lin Quan over, but he thought it would take a few months. But the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and I didn't expect to take over a farm with everything, and there was no need for any preliminary work. Therefore, he immediately decided to let Wang Xiaohu and Lin Quan come over in advance.

After all, this farm, although everything is complete and there are enough workers, are all strangers and have no henchmen of their own, which is not a good thing for him.

Therefore, it is imperative to take Lin Quan and Wang Xiaohu over.

It's not that Zhou Yu doesn't believe in the original people on the farm at all, although he has the greatest hope for the light of human nature, he is also quite vigilant about the dark side of human nature.

After all, it's a newcomer and lacks a sense of security!

...

Li Jing's ability to do things is really strong, and in the afternoon, a Chinese nanny in her thirties came to report.

The nanny's surname is Zhang, and her name is Zhang Mei. Her husband works in the town of Sitok, and in order to support the family, he came out to work as a nanny.

"Sister Zhang," Zhou Yu let the nanny into the house, seeing that she was a little cramped, she couldn't help but smile: "Don't be nervous." As for me, my grandfather and I have just come to the United States, and Sister Zhang is also a Chinese in Daxia, so it's too late to get close. ”

Zhang Mei nodded, slightly relieved.

She is also a first-time nanny, and many of them don't understand. Thinking that this young man in front of him is like this, he can buy such a big orchard, he is definitely not an ordinary person, so she can't help but be nervous.

"After all, my grandfather is old, in a foreign country, and very lonely. Sister Zhang, your daily work, in addition to cooking and housework, the rest of the time, I will chat with my grandfather. ”

"The one-month probationary period, the weekly salary is 800 US dollars, after the probationary period, if Sister Zhang, you are doing well, the weekly salary will be raised."

Regarding the salary level of nannies, Zhou Yu has already learned about Li Jing.

It is often said in China that Chinese nannies are popular in the United States, with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan or something, they are all individuals. There are requirements for appearance, education, and so on.

And Zhang Mei is just an ordinary Chinese woman, and the salary is definitely not so high.

Eight hundred dollars a week is already considered very high.

The basic salary of farm workers is generally at this level.

Zhang Mei listened and smiled shyly: "Thank you, boss." ”

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "My grandfather's legs and feet are inconvenient, and I need to worry about Sister Zhang." In my free time, I can push my grandfather around to get acquainted with the surroundings, or I can go to Sitok for a walk. ”

"yes, okay."
