"Village Chief Chen, I know you have good intentions, but this drip irrigation system must be built." Li Yuan, who had made up his mind, told Chen Wenchuan with a smile that although his tone was very polite, his attitude was very resolute.

Chen Wenchuan also saw that Li Yuan was determined to do this, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Alas, you young people just like to pursue those high-tech things, I think I didn't even have a pumping machine when I farmed the land, and I relied on waterwheels to drive water, didn't I still plant the land well!?" ”

Although Li Yuan must build a drip irrigation system, he doesn't want to chill Chen Wenchuan's heart because of this incident. After all, this old man can be regarded as helping Li Yuan a lot, just agreeing to pay the rent once a year is enough for Li Yuan to accept his affection.

So seeing Chen Wenchuan mention the past, Li Yuan also took the opportunity to ask him with a smile: "Village Chief Chen, you said that you could plant the land well by manpower back then, so was the yield per mu higher back then?" ”

was stopped by this question, and Chen Wenchuan was also a little stunned for a while. However, he was a real person, and he quickly shook his head honestly and said: "In terms of output, it really can't compare to now." Now technology has advanced, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, vegetable greenhouses, and new vegetable varieties, which used to be incomparable. ”

"So, there's definitely a good thing about high technology." Li Yuan took the opportunity to say to Chen Wenchuan: "Since we will be neighbors in the future, I won't hide something from you, you will know after listening to it, why should I insist on building a drip irrigation system." ”

These words immediately aroused Chen Wenchuan's curiosity, and he immediately listened quietly to Li Yuan to continue.

"To tell you the truth, what I want to grow are all imported vegetable varieties from foreign countries, all new varieties cultivated with high technology." Li Yuan said to Chen Wenchuan in a matter-of-fact manner: "You are an expert, when those vegetables grow, you will understand at a glance." ”

"New varieties imported from abroad? That's good! Chen Wenchuan nodded slightly, and then asked, "Then what does this have to do with you building a drip irrigation system?" That's a lot of money, it's not cheap! ”

Seeing that Chen Wenchuan was still worried about this, Li Yuan told him with a smile about the requirements for planting new varieties of vegetables. Among them, Li Yuan specifically mentioned the requirements of these vegetables for water temperature and quantity. Particular emphasis is placed on the new varieties of vegetables, which require a particularly high level of water and a water temperature that is as close as possible to the temperature of the land, and that the amount of water can be neither more nor less, and that only drip irrigation systems with cisterns can meet these requirements.

"So that's the case......" After listening to Li Yuan's explanation, Chen Wenchuan suddenly realized: "I know it as soon as you say this, no wonder you have to spend a lot of money to build a drip irrigation system." ”

"I can't help it, the things cultivated by foreigners are more delicate." Li Yuan said to Chen Wenchuan with a smile: "And even if we rely on the Ningxia River, we must also consider that in case the river water is polluted, or the problem of the dry season in winter, it is still safer to have a drip irrigation system......

In the next ten minutes, Li Yuan elaborated that although Wuxi City is located in the Yangtze River Delta, it is also a water-scarce city with water quality, and as an agricultural project, the vegetable base should do a good job of water conservation, so as to develop sustainably and healthily. And to do a good job of water conservation, drip irrigation systems are also essential.

Li Yuan took out the ability to encourage others to buy fake antiques in the antique market of the City God's Temple, and this call was a foolish one. In the end, Chen Wenchuan even felt that if the vegetable base did not build a drip irrigation system, it would be a waste of water resources, and wasting water resources would be tantamount to a crime!

Rao is Chen Wenchuan is a stubborn and old-fashioned person, but he was also persuaded by Li Yuan's tirade. In the end, not only did he no longer stop Li Yuan from building a drip irrigation system, but he even offered to help him contact the engineering team.

Chen Wenchuan took the initiative to help, which also made Li Yuan very pleased. After all, the old village chief is familiar with this area, and he is very experienced in this area. If he comes forward, not only will the project cost be relatively low, but the engineering team will not cut corners during construction, which is definitely a good thing for Li Yuan to save worry and effort.

Of course, Li Yuan would not refuse Chen Wenchuan's kindness, and immediately entrusted this matter to him. In addition to the drip irrigation system, the vegetable greenhouse is also a must-have for the vegetable base, so Li Yuan also entrusted this matter to Chen Wenchuan by the way.

Seeing Li Yuan's trust in himself, Chen Wenchuan was also full of energy, and in the afternoon, he found the bosses of several engineering teams and asked Li Yuan to negotiate with them himself.

Although Li Yuan is still a layman in this industry, he has also done small business for many years, so he does not suffer in this regard. After some inquiry, Li Yuan selected a construction team and gave them all the work of the drip irrigation system and vegetable greenhouses.

The quotation given by the engineering team is 1,200 yuan per mu for the drip irrigation system and 8,500 yuan per mu for the vegetable greenhouse. Although their price was not the lowest, Chen Wenchuan quietly told Li Yuan that their materials and craftsmanship were good, and they were worth the price.

At this price, it takes 9,700 yuan per acre to install vegetable greenhouses and drip irrigation systems. The total amount of land leased by Li Yuan is 92 acres, and the total cost is close to 900,000 yuan.

Although Li Yuan had just earned 500,000 yuan, even if he added the original deposit, it was only more than 550,000 points. So Li Yuan sadly found that the money earned on Chen Junkun's side had to be paid before it was hot, and there was even a big gap.

"Alas, if I knew this, I should have collected 30 million from Old Man Chen, and all the problems would have been solved." Li Yuan, who was facing the dilemma of lack of money, couldn't help but regret a little, he really shouldn't have been too generous at the beginning.

There is no regret medicine in this world, and it is impossible for Li Yuan to go back and ask Chen Junkun for another 500,000 yuan. In that case, the money can be obtained, but it will lose all the favor and face, Li Yuan will definitely not be able to do this kind of thing.

In desperation, he had no choice but to decide to do a good job of the drip irrigation system of 92 acres of land first, and as for the vegetable greenhouse, he could only do as much as he could, and then build a part of it first.

It would cost $110,000 just to build a drip irrigation system in all the fields. In addition, Li Yuan still has to leave some working capital, and the funds that can be used to build vegetable greenhouses are only 380,000 yuan in total, which is just enough to build 55 acres of vegetable greenhouses.

So Li Yuan signed a contract with the engineering team, and said that he would first build a 92-acre drip irrigation system and a 50-acre vegetable greenhouse. After paying an advance payment of 200,000 yuan, the engineering team sent workers to the vegetable base the next day and began the construction work in full swing.
