Chapter 8 Researchers
You must know that Lin Quan's mother has been bedridden, and his wife is still pregnant with a child, so he is not at home, so he has no pillar. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info If it weren't a last resort, Zhou Yu wouldn't have called Lin Quan here under such circumstances.
Lin Quan shook his head: "I've already arranged it." I guess the salary will be higher here, so I hired a nanny. β
"The right choice." Zhou Yu smiled. Although Lin Quan hired a nanny, it was only a temporary move, and it would treat the symptoms but not the root cause, but if Lin Quan settled here in the future, then find a way to take his wife and children over.
"I'm going to get my driver's license next." Zhou Yu said: "You also took the time to sign up and take the driver's license test." Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to get anywhere. In the United States, a driver's license is more useful than an ID card. β
Lin Quan nodded, indicating that he understood, but asked, "Then the boss, the farm manager, in addition to managing personnel, what else do you need to do?" β
"This..."Zhou Yu scratched his head: "I don't know either." It's nothing more than looking for a market or something. β
He really didn't understand. The United States is definitely different from Daxia, no matter what industry here, it is quite mature and has routines.
Lin Quan nodded, looking at his appearance, he should know it in his heart.
Zhou Yu said: "After all, this farm is very large, and there must be a sales network." If you ask a few other team leaders, it should be clear. β
"As for personnel, if you look carefully, if there is the kind of person who only gets paid and does less work, needless to say, just open it."
"In addition, it is already mid-to-late June, and from July, some fruits should be ready to be harvested. Suffice it to say, you're on a tight schedule. β
Zhou Yu estimated that especially the snake fruit and red grapes that were struggling to reach the number of three hundred in more than 200 acres would definitely ripen early.
"You ask them how they used to do exports, and then you can make an appointment at the Agricultural Research Center in Santa Maria and ask someone to come and identify the fruit grades."
"In the fruit market here, you have to go up to the grade to get the retail in the market, and if the grade is not enough, you can only sell it cheaply."
"My fruits, I believe, like domestic vegetables, are definitely not ordinary, so it is imperative to identify the grade."
While listening, Lin Quan took out a small notebook and pen from his pocket and recorded them.
"Before I came, I looked up the relevant information on the Internet. But it's all the same, and it's not accurate. Lin Quan recorded and said: "In Great Xia, the price of red grapes and snake fruits imported from the United States is generally about 120 yuan a kilogram. Boss, what are the prices in the United States? β
"Well, let's take snake fruit as an example, the first-class product was seven US dollars a pound last year, the excellent grade was fifteen US dollars, and the special one was twenty-eight US dollars."
"Hey, that's expensive." Lin Quan was taken aback: "Then over there, the best snake fruit that is claimed to be imported is only sold for one hundred and twenty-one kilograms?" Fake, right?! β
"Probably so." Zhou Yu nodded: "Imported back, who knows which grade?" Anyway, it's imported, no matter how they blow it, it's not the same?! β
"One hundred and twenty-one kilograms, a pound of up to seventy yuan, converted into American knives, is only a little more than ten US dollars. I guess the so-called imported goods may not even be considered first-class products. At most, from those low-quality fruits, select the ones with better quality, and play high-quality signboards to deceive domestic consumers... Tsk, the profit in this is just..."
Zhou Yu didn't know what to say.
Lin Quan also laughed: "Who made the domestic people recognize the label of imported goods." I think imported goods are good things! β
Zhou Yu shook his head.
...
The next morning, Zhou Yu took Wang Xiaohu to Xituoke Community Middle School and went through the enrollment procedures.
It was a balding old white man named Emmons, who seemed to be the headmaster. did not embarrass Zhou Yu, according to the admission standards for American students, and relaxed.
The principal also knew Zhou Yu's identity, and after going through the enrollment procedures, he said bluntly: "Mr. Zhou, as the owner of the largest farm orchard in Sitoke and even Santa Maria, I hope you can support our education. β
"Of course." Zhou Yu knew the rules, and he had called Li Jing before.
Don't say much at the moment, just write a check directly, 100,000 US dollars.
The bald principal took the check and immediately smiled: "Thank you, thank you Mr. Zhou for your support of Xitok education." I hope that Mr. Zhou will continue to support our education in the future. β
Zhou Yu smiled, nodded to Wang Xiaohu, and said to the principal: "After that, this kid will be handed over to your school." β
In Wang Xiaohu's gaze, he left the community middle school.
"It's really painful and refreshing to write a check... Just a piece of paper ashes, 100,000 will be gone... Tsk.." Zhou Yu was stunned as he walkedβalthough this was not the first time he had written a check.
When I was in the principal's office just now, that calmness was pretended! 100,000 US dollars, that's nearly a million Daxia coins! It's gone in a blink of an eye, it's really... It's really refreshing!
...
In the following period, until the end of June and the beginning of July, Zhou Yu spent most of his time preparing for the driver's license test.
Memorizing information, practical exercises, and being busy. I left the farm in the morning to go to Santa Maria and came back in the evening.
But for Zhou Yu, these are nothing.
He can drive, but that's domestic. But the essence is the same, but some of the rules here are slightly different. In the United States, driving is the same as in China, driving on the left and on the right.
Most of them are common.
After more than ten days of study, Zhou Yu estimated that he could pass the test, so he directly applied for the driving test.
At the same time, on July 1, a letter from the Social Security Administration was also sent. The social security numbers and social security cards of the grandparents and grandchildren are all in hand.
On July 5th, the red grape entered the harvest period.
And Zhou Yu is going to Santa Maria to take a driving test on this day.
It was a sunny day, and the temperature rose shortly after waking up in the morning.
After Zhou Yu left the farm, Lin Quan, as the manager of the farm, ushered in a researcher from the Agricultural Research Center.
The researcher was a woman, about twenty-two or three years old, a typical white girl, with large sunglasses that covered half of her face, no white coat, and a red sports car.
"Hello, I'm the manager of the Jade Seal Farm, you can call me Lin." Lin Quan was the first to stretch out his hand.
When the researcher got out of the car, a pair of long black silk legs stretched out, and he stood up, a little taller than Lin Quandu. You must know that Lin Quan is one meter seventy-five tall, and this woman is at least one meter eight! With the addition of high heels, it is close to 1.9 meters!
With such a height, a grace********ful figure, and long legs, Lin Quan couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
But fortunately, Lin Quan is not a junior brother, he has been married for several years, and his wife and children are pregnant, so he is not as anxious as a young man. Immediately settled down and shook hands with the girl.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. I'm Christina Moynihan and a researcher at the Santa Maria University Agricultural Research Institute. β
Lin Quan looked at it carefully, and always felt that this woman was a little different. With such a good figure, it should be a model, and he doesn't wear a white coat, this image is almost the opposite of a researcher in the eyes of ordinary people. Aren't all researchers the more rigid kind of people who wear white coats, have expressionless faces, and have communication difficulties?
"Isn't it like?" There was a hint of a smile in Krestina's blue eyes.
"Uh, this..."Lin Quan smiled awkwardly, "It just doesn't look like it." β
"But I'm actually a researcher." Krystina smiled playfully, turned around and took out a backpack from the car: "Let's go." β
Lin Quan was a little speechless, said no more, and led Krestina to the farm.
After getting on the sightseeing bus, Lin Quan said, "I think Ms. Moynihan should know something about our farm. β
"Uh-huh." Krystina nodded, "I've been dealing with John's Farm since I became a researcher at the Agricultural Research Center two years ago. Of course, it's not called John's Farm anymore. β
"It's the Jade Seal Farm." Lin Quan emphasized a sentence before he said: "Ms. Moynihan should know something about the previous situation on the farm. The production of high-quality fruits here is decreasing year by year. Of course, if this were not the case, the original farmer would not have sold the farm to my boss. β
"If that's all there is to it, then I think I should go back." Krestina was not at all polite.
"Of course not." Lin Quan glanced at her and felt that this woman's personality was not very easy to deal with, and said, "I invited Ms. Moynihan over this time because of some special circumstances. β
"It's good if there are special circumstances." "I don't want to run in vain - time is money, money is life, and a waste of time is a waste of life!" β
Lin Quan smiled.
Drive the sightseeing car, all the way through the central area, around the small lake, to the northwest corner of the central living area.
got out of the car and didn't wait for Lin Quan to speak. Krestina's eyes lit up: "The snake fruit and red grapes here are ripening early!" β
Lin Quan glanced at this woman in surprise, but he didn't expect her to see the reason for inviting her over at a glance: "Yes, the one hundred and fifty acres at the southern end of the snake orchard, including the one hundred acres or so at the northern end of the red grape orchard in the south, the ripening period of the fruit has been advanced. β
"What's more," Lin Quan said, "I think Ms. Moynihan should have seen that the fruit of this fruit forest is also in very good condition!" β
Christina stepped forward, plucked her eyes, looked around a snake fruit tree, and after a moment, let out an exclamation: "God! The quality of the fruits on this fruit tree is almost all above the first grade! β
Then stepping on his high heels, he observed several snake fruit trees around him in a row, and the results he got almost made Krestina's eyes fall off!
"Incredible... What is the reason for this? She suddenly became chattering, like a scientist who is in thought, plucking off a leaf and tasting it in her mouth, grabbing a handful of dirt and crushing it carefully and observing it.
Then I ran to the red grape garden next to it and came to the same conclusion!
Her eyes lit up, and she ran to Lin Quan's side with one foot high and one foot low: "Didn't you notice anything unusual before the fruit was ripe?" Or, what specialty fertilizers do you use? Or..."
There were a lot of crackling questions, which made Lin Quan's head dizzy.
"Stop, stop!" He hurriedly stretched out his hand, fingers against his palm: "Ms. Moynihan, you asked so many questions at once, how can I answer?" β
"Oh, I'm sorry." Christina hurriedly straightened her expression, forced herself to suppress her excitement, and deliberately said slowly: "So, Mr. Lin, can you tell me, did you use special fertilizer?" β
"Of course not." Lin Quan shook his head, called Andrew and Leo who were standing next to him, and said to Christina: "This Mr. Andrew is the person in charge of the snake orchard of our farm, and Mr. Leo is the person in charge of the red grape orchard, you can ask them related questions." β
Andrew waved his hand again and again: "Lady Moynihan, the care of the snake orchard is no different from previous years. The fertilizer is also used in the previous varieties, and the pruning and other care methods have not changed. β
Leo nodded yes.
"Oh... So what is the reason? Krestina bowed her head and muttered, "I noticed that the soil here seems to be a little different. How is it possible if you don't use special fertilizers? Does the soil change on its own? What is the reason for the catalysis? β
As she spoke, she looked up, "I hope to get some dirt and go back for testing." β
Lin Quan smiled slightly: "Of course you can." β
