Chapter 20: Scaling up
Now that Hong Yan has more than 30 million cash in his hands, it's time to think about how to plan.
He spent an afternoon looking at the available projects in the database, and after determining the goals that need to be manufactured, he asked the village chief to rent a thousand acres of land, and the village chief was also happy to learn the news.
Now that Hong Yan has 1,200 acres of land, such a large area is no longer something that two people can fight alone. So he contacted Uncle Li, a migrant worker who used to help him pick lychees, and he also took care of a few people who were idle at home in the village.
He first had 100 acres of land leveled, and this 100 acres of land was to be built for the construction of 30 hydroponic units, each covering an area of 1,500 square meters.
500 acres of land were reclaimed one after another to plant various plants that could not be hydroponics, such as root crops such as radishes and potatoes.
Then, the metal needed to manufacture the equipment was collected from various sources, mostly scrap yards, and in the blink of an eye, more than 30 million yuan was left.
Coupled with supporting equipment, such as irrigation equipment, environmental monitoring system, automatic integrated control equipment, etc., it can be said that Hong Yan spent more than 30 million yuan to upgrade his vegetable planting base.
Next, he contacted the engineering team and registered trademarks.
Ge Erjin, who was one year older than Hong Yan, followed the villagers to work on the construction site in the city before finishing junior high school. In the past few years, he has also mixed a small bag foreman, and his life is quite moist.
When he was young, Hong Yan peeked at Ge Erjin's sister going to the toilet, and was chased by their brother and sister to the next village, and finally worshipped his sister under Ge Erjin's obscenity and became a parent.
Of course, these were all childhood events, and everyone treated them as if they were playing family, but since then, the three of them have formed a deep friendship. On the day Hong Yan was admitted to university, Ge Erjin also asked his sister to send 10,000 red envelopes to Hong Yan.
There is such a deep friendship, so Ge Erjin sent people from the city to rush back with a phone call.
As for the trademark, Hong Yan entrusted it to his junior sister, Xiong Yanxi, a top student of the Department of Finance and Economics. She now works at the Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce, which is familiar to her.
The next day, the trucks that Hong Yan bought for the delivery of the metal drove into the village, and there were a hundred trucks this time, which made Hong Yan worried. First of all, the road condition is not good, mainly because the lanes are not wide, and it is barely possible to pass two cars at the same time, only one truck, some are still dirt roads, and the second is that there is not enough space to unload.
These were all things that Hong Yan had not expected, so he now secretly decided that if he had the opportunity, he must upgrade the roads in the village.
It's too late to build the road, but fortunately, Ge Erjin and his team are already in the village, so it's still okay for them to get a place in their own fields to unload their goods.
Therefore, Ge Erjin and his people spent a day to build a simple shed, plus trucks transported from various construction materials, and more than 100 trucks were parked on it at night.
For the scrap metal of these hundred trucks, everyone was very puzzled, Hong Yan could only explain the waste utilization, and did not dare to say anything else, and made up his mind to find a hidden place to put these metals in the future, otherwise it would be really difficult to explain.
At dinner in the evening, Hong Yan, Zhou Tingxin and Ge Erjin sat on the construction site chatting and drinking.
The moonlight shone down, and the three of them sat quietly.
"I didn't expect you to be a kid, I knew that I didn't look away back then." Ge Erjin looked into the distance, with some loneliness and some joy in his eyes.
Hearing Ge Erjin's slightly vicissitudes of life, Hong Yan's heart tightened, and he asked with concern: "Brother, did you encounter something?" ”
Ge Erjin was stunned for a moment, but immediately recovered, and said with a smile: "What can I encounter?" Don't think about it, I'm just a little emotional. ”
Hong Yan nodded, he knew that if Ge Erjin didn't want to say it, there must be his reasons.
"Brother, if there is anything I can do, I must tell me as soon as possible, if I didn't have your 10,000 yuan back then, I don't think I would have been able to go to college, I know that you saved it by saving money." Hong Yan's voice was slightly choked.
When Hong Yan was admitted to university, he almost gave up because his family couldn't afford the tuition, but fortunately, with the help of Ge Erjin, he is where he is today.
"Good brother, just have your words, worthy of my brother-in-law, wahaha! Come on, do it! Ge Erjin laughed, raised the Niulanshan in his hand, tilted his head, and swallowed a whole cup.
"Well, why do you still mention the things of the year." Hong Yan was a little embarrassed.
"I said brother, it may be too late for you to recognize Hong Yan as a brother-in-law, because he has been booked by our Zhou family, but you can choose me as a brother-in-law, I am more suitable than him, hehe." Zhou Tingxin said with a smile on the side
Ge Erjin scolded with a smile: "Go ahead, you stinky boy also want to be my brother-in-law, don't be stinky and beautiful." ”
Hong Yan and Zhou Rin'er knew about their marriage from a young finger, and of course they didn't need to be reminded by Zhou Tingxin.
Then they were debating the feasibility and infeasibility of being a brother-in-law about what you said and what I said.
Ge Erjin suddenly looked at Hong Yan and asked, "By the way, what are you going to do with so much scrap metal?" ”
Hong Yan, who was watching the two of them arguing on the side, was caught off guard by Ge Erjin's sudden question.
"It's fine, it's just a personal hobby." Hong Yan hurriedly found a reason to prevaricate.
Ge Erjin couldn't help but let out an exclamation: "So much scrap metal should be a lot of money, right?" You can't spend money like this. ”
The next day, the engineering team began to devote themselves to the construction of the hydroponic unit, but fortunately there were drawings in hand, and everything seemed to be in order.
The first is to build the foundation, Hong Yan's method is very simple and rude, 100 acres of land are all paved with cement, leaving a six-meter-wide road between the two hydroponic units, leaving a one-meter-wide papaya in the middle of the road, and a drainage ditch with a width of 10 centimeters on both sides of the road.
Laying the foundation is the construction of the hydroponic unit, and according to the construction instructions of the drawings, the mechanical worm has modularized all the construction materials, as long as the parts are assembled together in the order of installation. The progress of this part of the work is very fast, it can be said that Uncle Li has only reclaimed 200 acres of land, and the construction of 30 hydroponic units here has been completed.
Then it was time to set up all kinds of supporting equipment, so a month later, we could see thirty hydroponic units arranged in a neat row, and the papaya that had just been planted in the middle was thriving. On one of the high ground of the plantation site stands a modern three-storey building. It is composed of steel beams and new materials, and is covered with plexiglass and solar panels. On the roof of the building, several devices similar to signal base stations are erected, these are the receivers of environmental monitoring systems and automation control equipment, and the monitors and control equipment are located in the lobby on the third floor. A circle of triangular plums was planted around the house, which was proposed by Zhou Rin'er. There was originally a small waterhole next to the house, which was originally a depression formed by rainwater, which was a stagnant water, which usually smelled and nourished mosquitoes. Now it has been transformed into a pool that has been measured to the bottom by Hong Yan, some rockeries and plants have been made, and a few koi fish have been put down, at this time, whether it is seen from a distance or up close, the whole base looks beautiful.
Besides, Hong Yan also bought two foals and a Doberman puppy, riding a horse and walking the dog at dusk was one of the dreams that Hong Yan and Zhou Rin'er talked about when they were children, and now with such a large territory, this dream can also be realized.
However, horses are not well-known good horses, and after understanding, those well-known good horses are often millions of dollars, which he really can't afford now. But it doesn't matter, he can improve the horse's genes through mechanical bugs so that they are not inferior to any of the world's most famous horse breeds.
When he saw the horse and the dog for the first time, he was still stunned, he didn't expect it to be so cute, Zhou Rin'er also likes these three little creatures very much, and he has no resistance, so as long as he comes back from school, he will take them around.
