733.The Great Orchard (4/5)
At the beginning of spring, a lot of work is about to begin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Bo negotiated with Porter, and Sunset Town began laying the foundation for the villa, and he had placed a residential heart on the lakefront, which was the location of the villa chosen by Porter's designers and engineers.
This matter is left to Potter, and Lao Wang is responsible for investing money, and he will invest 20 million New Zealand dollars in the first phase, which is half of his net worth!
It can also be seen from this that real estate is really not for ordinary people, even if you spend money as lavishly as Lao Wang, you are very distressed when you take out the money.
It wasn't just a villa complex where he would have to spend money, but also his farm in Kulau, where construction was about to begin.
Nine hundred acres of land, Lao Wang finally decided to plant all fruits!
The best thing about growing fruit is that you don't have to keep an eye on it, just leave it there and let it grow naturally, and wait until autumn to pick the fruit.
The fruits he chose were kiwifruit, gala apples, golden pears, and one more, which Eva suggested he planted, was the New Zealand lantern fruit.
Lantern fruit is a fruit native to South America, deciduous small shrub, fruity sweet and sour, can be processed into jam and made into wine, in South America is a precious wild fruit, and later achieved artificial cultivation, the number increased.
Wang Bo has seen lantern fruit, which is sold in supermarkets, this fruit is spherical, and there are longitudinal lines on the fruit, like the skeleton of a lantern, which is how its name comes from.
On a weekend in early September, he set out on his way to Kurau with Eva, Lori and a large group of sled dogs.
The journey is not long, but the driving speed is always slow, Wang Bo looked at the fleeting scenery outside the window, and sighed: "You must buy a helicopter when you go back!" ”
Eva laughed and said, "Actually, we don't need it so much, besides, you have invested a lot of money this time, do you still have money to buy a helicopter?" ”
Wang Bo squeezed his eyes at Eva proudly and said, "Your man's family is more than that, go back and show you some treasures." ”
Eva shrugged, pulled out her bank card, and said, "Then I did it for nothing, I thought you would need to borrow money from me." ”
Lao Wang turned the steering wheel and asked in surprise, "Do you have a lot of money?" Buying a helicopter is not cheap. ”
The two are not married, so the property is not publicized, and neither of them knows how much money the other has.
Eva followed his example, squeezed her bright eyes proudly, and said: "Thank you for choosing a good job after graduating from college, although I was fired in the end, the compensation is still quite high." ”
"What is it that works so well? I guess it must be working for the government, only the government is so generous. ”
"Bingo!" Eva snapped her fingers and smiled slyly, "You guessed it, I do work for the government, but it's better to keep it a secret." ”
Wang Bo looked at the little Lori behind the car seat who was playing mobile games by herself, and said softly: "Is it a spy?" ”
This is what he has been guessing all along, Eva's skills, driving skills, marksmanship, and her vigilance, coupled with Charlie's admonition to him, it is not difficult to make this guess.
Eva didn't talk much about her past life and work, Wang Bo didn't take the initiative to ask, and today he pretended to say it unintentionally through this topic.
Hearing his words, Eva was stunned, then pursed her lips and smiled: "Guess wrong, you see that I love to sleep so much, how can I be a spy?" But you guessed half right, it was for the intelligence service, do you want to know the specifics? But I have to tell you first, it's not necessarily a good thing to know. ”
Wang Bo shook his head and said with a smile: "You know, your man's curiosity is not so strong, everything depends on you, if you want to tell me, I bet I will be a good listener." But if you don't want to bring up these topics, let it go. ”
The beautiful teacher blinked hesitantly and said, "It's quite complicated to say, so let's talk about it when I want to tell a story in the future." ”
The car drove to the small town, Wang Bo went straight to Wensi Ranch, this ranch used to be called Sleigh Mountain Ranch, I don't know how it had such a name, he could change it, but he didn't do it.
At the gate of the ranch, a trailer is already waiting there, this is a large mechanical vehicle, a car can reach 500 tons, but the car is not pulling saplings, but large water tanks!
Yes, it's a large water tanker.
The location of the ranch is on the side of the road, and there are constantly passing cars, and the people on the car notice the big water tanker, and many people wonder: Kulau has become like this year in drought? You have to carry water from other places?
This is indeed water transported from other places, and it is the water that Wang Bo took half a week to extract from the two spiritual springs, and he will use the spiritual springs to irrigate the orchard.
New Zealand's orchards generally use an open planting method, and the first three of these four fruits cover about the same area, and Wang Bo uses a 3 by 3 planting area.
That is to say, on a piece of land that is three meters long and three meters wide, only one kiwifruit, one apple or one golden pear can be planted, and about 70 trees can be planted on one acre of land.
The cultivation of lantern fruit is much more intensive, and it can be planted at a high density of 1 by 1.
The fruit is very short, only about 1.2 meters high, and when ripe, the canopy grows piles of fruit, which are particularly sweet and perfect for jam.
Wang Bo's plan is to plant kiwifruit, apples and pears in an area of 250 acres, and the remaining 150 acres will be planted with lantern fruits.
One acre is more than six acres and can grow more than 400 apples, kiwifruits, or pears, as well as nearly 4,000 lantern fruits.
In other words, Wang Bo will plant 100,000 apples, 100,000 kiwifruits, 100,000 pears, and 1 million lantern fruit trees this time!
For an orchard, this is large enough to invest even more.
At the last farmer meeting, why were many people so hesitant to turn their farms into orchards? The investment is too big!
Like Wang Bo, not to mention apple trees, pear trees, etc., let's say one million lantern fruit trees, New Zealand sells fruit tree seedlings in a unit of 100 trees, and the minimum unit is 500 yuan.
One million fruit tree saplings, that's five million!
In addition, the farm needs to be cultivated again, and it is necessary to hire two people to plant, and it will cost at least tens of millions of dollars to open such a large orchard.
But there is a question to consider, that is, if all the farms are replaced with fruit trees, are they sure that all of them will survive? Is it possible to produce fruit smoothly? Can you find a suitable sales channel after the fruit is produced?
These risks are very high, from the planting of fruit trees to the production of fruits, there is a problem in one link, that is, there is no return!
Therefore, Lao Wang is very clever to come to a risk aversion, he doesn't buy fruit trees, he buys tree seeds!
