Twenty days later, it was the weekend. Xiang Jin got up from a late nap and suddenly found two more people in the living room. She immediately ran over with a joyful look on her face, "Grandpa Zeng, Aunt Zeng, you are back."
?”
Both of them looked at her with smiles, and her aunt looked at her with doting eyes and said, "Are you awake?"
"Wake up, wake up," Xiang Jin nodded fiercely. Suddenly he remembered that he hadn't washed up yet, so he said a little embarrassedly, "You guys go on, I'll go wash up first!" After saying that, he rushed towards me.
To the washroom.
After washing up and coming out, she couldn't wait to ask them again, "When did you come back?"
Grandpa Zeng said, "Don't worry, eat first, and we will tell you slowly after dinner!"
Then Xiang Jin saw her grandma coming out with a bowl of porridge, a few steamed buns and an egg, and a glass of milk on the dining table.
Xiang Jin asked, "Have you eaten?"
Grandpa Zeng said, "We have already eaten!"
"Oh, okay!" Xiang Jin walked to the dining table and sat down. Then while eating breakfast, she raised her ears to listen to their next conversation. She gnawed two buns and drank a bowl of porridge as quickly as possible.
There was also an egg, and finally he sat among the elders with the glass of milk.
Her grandma saw that she had left the table, so she asked, "Don't you want to eat?"
Xiang Jin said playfully, "I won't eat, I'll save it for lunch later!"
Her grandparents laughed, and her grandmother stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll withdraw!"
"I'll withdraw by myself later, after I finish drinking the glass of milk in my hand," Xiang Jin said.
Her grandma said, "Oh, it's okay, just sit and listen! I'm going to prepare lunch too. Your grandpa Zeng and your aunt will have something to do in the afternoon."
"Oh, okay! Grandpa Zeng, Auntie, when did you come back? Did your trip to Northern Xinjiang go well?" Xiang Jin stopped being polite to her, and then looked at the two of them again.
Grandpa Zeng and her aunt suddenly had bright smiles on their faces. Grandpa Zeng nodded towards her and said with a smile, "We have been back for two or three days, and our inspection trip there went very smoothly."
Xiang Jin and her aunt added, "Because of your uncle Tao's relationship with his comrades, when we went there we received very warm and friendly reception from their people."
Xiang Jin took a sip of milk and nodded, then asked, "Oh, by the way, where is Uncle Tao, has he returned to the provincial capital?"
Grandpa Zeng said, "No, we brought someone back, and your Uncle Tao is accompanying him."
Her aunt nodded vigorously towards her, "Well, there is a very powerful and famous local fruit grower. His family not only has more than 200 acres of vineyards, but also more than 100 acres of watermelon and cantaloupe fields.
, and dozens of acres of small fragrant pears.
Their grapes and cantaloupe are mainly used to make raisins and dried cantaloupe, and a small portion of the fresh fruit is sold to fruit markets in some big cities in the south."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Do they have many grape varieties?"
Her aunt said, "There are several kinds, but their family mainly grows white grapes that can be dried and made into raisins. The grapes sold to fruit markets in big cities in the mainland are all other varieties."
Xiang Jin nodded, "We don't make raisins. We will mainly sell fresh grapes in the future. The transportation here is quite convenient. You can travel by land, water and air. And I think fresh grapes will have great market prospects in the future, and they will also save money."
Save time and trouble."
Grandpa Zeng nodded, "That's what we told them at the beginning. We said that if the land here is suitable for growing these fruits, we will need watermelon and cantaloupe seeds, as well as some other fruit tree saplings."
You can purchase from them first.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, but there is an additional condition, that is, they must provide us with the cultivation technology of these fruits for free to ensure the success of our cultivation of these fruits.
Otherwise, what if we just buy seeds and saplings from them, but the survival rate is very low? Or to put it another way, judging the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart, what if he gives us everything?
What to do with the next-level seeds and saplings?
When the time comes, he will just take the money and leave, and we will suffer a big loss, so he may have to stay here for a longer time. Of course, we will pay for all his living expenses here.
We can bear it for him, and we can also cover his travel expenses when the time comes."
Grandpa Zeng nodded and said, "Well, what you said is very important. We just wanted to invite him over to see if the soil is suitable for planting these things. If it is suitable, we will buy seeds and saplings from him.
, but did not consider the cultivation issues of this planting technology, and the survival rate of melon and fruit seedlings.
With his provision and guidance in cultivation techniques, it will definitely be much more effective than trying to fumble on our own. Alas, no, I have to write it down." As he spoke, Grandpa Zeng took out a small notebook and a stick.
Use a pen to take notes.
Xiang Jin's aunt was astonished. She didn't expect this. Xiang Jin's grandfather also looked at her with relief and nodded.
Things are indeed mature and sophisticated.
Grandpa Zeng then continued, "We have also inspected the land accompanied by the local government. It is indeed a large piece of sandy land. According to the local government, the actual area of the land is seventy-eight acres."
More, and after Mulati's confirmation, he said that the land was suitable for growing watermelons and grapes.
Later, we negotiated with the local government, and the other government agreed to lease the land to us at a contract price of 50 yuan per mu per year, but it required us to lease it for at least 20 years. Your Uncle Tao asked us to rent the relevant land to us.
Let me tell you about the matter."
Xiang Jin said, "You can make your own decisions on things like this."
Her aunt smiled and said, "You are one of the bosses. Your uncle Tao should only tell you what you know when talking about these things."
Xiang Jin laughed, and then agreed without thinking, "Okay, no problem, twenty years, it's only a rent of more than 70,000 and nearly 80,000 yuan, it's a good deal!
However, I have seen from the geographical records that there seems to be a river nearby. When we negotiate with the other party and sign the contract, we must include that river in the terms. Don't let them have to irrigate when we need it.
Besides, it’s not okay to charge us a separate water bill.”
"Well, that's true," Grandpa Zeng nodded, and then wrote it down in his notebook.
Then her aunt handed a colorful promotional material with pictures of different grape varieties in front of Xiang Jin, "These are some of the grape varieties grown in Mulati's family vineyard. Take a look, what if we planted them?"
, it is best to choose which types of grapes to plant, and also give your opinion on the distribution of the fruit planting area."
Xiang Jin took it, then looked through it carefully, and finally pointed at them and said, "Just the Xiangfei grape, the Hotan grape, and the milk rose grape. This is our first time to plant it."
, is still in the exploratory stage and is not suitable for large-scale planting. Each of these three grapes should be planted according to a planting area of ten to fifteen acres.
In addition, some land has been set aside around the land, which is about two-thirds of land, and a house of more than 100 to 200 square meters can be built to accommodate the planting employees.
I have discussed this with Yan Chen before, that is, the management model of our land should be based on the management model of greenhouse vegetable fields in provincial capitals. We should ask Uncle Tao to find us some people who are sincere, down-to-earth, and a little bit...
Veterans with experience in crop planting will come to help us plant, and if their families are suitable, they can come and work together.
In addition, another five to ten acres of land will be reserved for Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo to grow mushrooms and greenhouse vegetables, and then the rest will be used to grow watermelons and cantaloupes."
Grandpa Zeng waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, we won't use this, we will use it to grow your fruits."
Xiang Jin said, "Grandpa Zeng, listen to me. First, Yan Chen and I have discussed this before. We want to allocate a piece of land with you to continue to develop your mushroom cultivation and greenhouse vegetables."
Planting.
You and Grandma Mo are more experienced in greenhouse planting. That Mulati is only serving as a technical guide for our fruit planting. When the fruit saplings and fruit seedlings are alive, he will return to Northern Xinjiang.
Then our future fruit production areas will have to rely on you in terms of technology.
The second is that we have no experience in growing watermelons and grapes before. As the saying goes, a lot of eggs cannot be put in the same basket. The points are open. This is also a guarantee for safe investment. When the time comes,
If you really lose money, it won’t be a huge loss, right?
The third thing is that if those melon and fruit seedlings are successfully planted, then you will only need to water them every two days, weed them every few days, apply fertilizer, and other grapevine pruning.
Once the branches are planted, a large part of the time may be free.
At that time, you can definitely call those people to help in your greenhouse vegetable fields. If you pay them wages, they will have something to do and earn wages, and it will be easier for you and Grandma Mo, and you will also
You can make more money than you can in Wantou, right?"
After hearing this, Grandpa Zeng still refused, "No, no, no, that's not possible. How can this take up your rented land? And it will not be conducive to the management of the melon and fruit fields. They will think about it then.
You come here to pick vegetables for us every day to make money, so what should you do if you just dry out the melons and fruits? Isn’t it right? Isn’t it right?”
Xiang Jin thought for a while and said, "In that case, let's find another way, that is, Auntie, Grandpa Zeng, all of you will receive monthly wages inside, but Grandpa Zeng and Auntie, as the employees inside
Managers, Yan Chen and I will give each of you 10% of the shares as your technical investment, and Yan Chen and I will each hold 40% of the shares.
We still grow vegetables in the greenhouse, but this will be regarded as an industry in our entire fruit planting area and will not belong to you personally. This way, after those employees have finished working on the watermelon fields and vineyard planting areas, they can still go to
If you help in the greenhouse vegetable field, you should be paid according to the amount of labor remuneration you get for every kilogram of vegetables you pick."
When Xiang Jin, her aunt, and Grandpa Zeng heard that Xiang Jin would give each of them 10% of the shares, they were startled at first, and then they both waved their hands and said no, no, no, etc.
Xiang Jin said, "Listen to us, this is not decided by me alone. This is what Yan Chen and I have discussed before. We are still in the stage of studying, so the management of these aspects
I will rely on you in the future.
Grandpa Zeng, you and Grandma Mo used to grow vegetables in greenhouses at home, and you still had to make a lot of money every year. It’s impossible for us to have something happen, so you can help us in vain, right? Then we’d be embarrassed.
And the same goes for you, auntie. You had always had your own job with an iron rice bowl before, but then you resigned because of our affairs. It is impossible for us to leave you without security, right?
And we also operate this way in the provincial capital. Uncle Tao and Yan Chen's aunt help us manage things. We all give them 10% of the shares, so this is how we have settled the matter.
Huh? No two discussions!”
Xiang Jin, her aunt and Grandpa Zeng were at a loss of whether to laugh or cry, but their faces were filled with bright smiles, and then Grandpa Zeng said, "Then let's divide ten acres of land to grow greenhouse vegetables. This time we
I also learned some yam planting techniques in northern Xinjiang, and yam is particularly suitable for planting in sandy soil. Once planted, one yam can be more than one meter long, and it is so thick that one yam can weigh several kilograms."
Xiang Jin and her aunt nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, that one is very special. Whether it is eaten boiled, stir-fried, stewed or steamed, it is especially delicious, especially the soup.
Eat, it is said that eating yam soup in winter is a very warming tonic.
We tasted it this time in Northern Xinjiang, and it tasted great. Well, we brought two bundles specially for you when we came back from Northern Xinjiang this time, and your grandparents will make it into soup for you."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, you can make your own decisions in these aspects. Grandpa Zeng, you must be more experienced and have more say than us in this aspect of planting. We have full authority to entrust you with this matter."
And you should also work out an agreement as soon as possible, including the previous lease contract with the government, the seedling supply contract with Namulati, and of course the equity distribution contract between the few of us, but this
These are all internal matters for us. We can implement them slowly later without fear. The key now is the land lease contract with the government and the previous supply and demand contract in Namulati. This must be implemented as soon as possible.
In addition, a budget related to planting must be provided as soon as possible, such as the purchase costs of seedlings, fertilizers, plastic films, etc., as well as the construction costs of building surrounding houses, as well as how many people are needed and their wages.
Wait, then Yan Chen and I can arrange the funds for you.
Oh, by the way, if you are empty, go to the bank and open an account. When the money is needed, we will arrange it for you in this account."
Grandpa Zeng and her aunt nodded, and then Grandpa Zeng recorded everything on the small book one by one.
Xiang Jin said, "Then, you may have to work harder at the beginning. You need to remember these accounts clearly. When everything is straightened out, we may need to hire another financial professional to do it.
These current accounts of incoming and outgoing transactions.”
Several elders nodded in agreement, and then her aunt suggested, "Then what should we name our plantation?"
Xiang Jin said, "Okay, when people outside mention a certain fruit and vegetable industry plantation, they will know where it is, and then many people will come to us to buy agricultural and sideline products. It won't cost us much."
Time to find customers.
Alas, Auntie, I find your proposal to be a good one, so just think about it and see what name is more suitable. Oh, I won't waste my brain thinking about it."
Xiang Jin and her aunt said humbly to Grandpa Zeng, "Uncle Zeng, did you come up with this name?"
"Okay," Grandpa Zeng glanced at her with a smile, and then he obeyed his duty. After he lowered his head in silence for a moment, he raised his head and said to several people, "Why don't we call this morning fruit and vegetable industry plantation?
The land was mainly built with money from Jin Yatou and Chen Chen, so they were named after them.
The pronunciation of one of the characters, Jin Yatou's name is 'Jin', then we will choose 'Jin', today's 'Jin', Chenchen's name is also 'Chen', we will choose 'Morning Light'.
Chen', 'this morning' means the fruits and vegetables that were picked just after getting up this morning, which means they are very fresh."
"Oh, this is a good name," Xiang Jin and her grandfather were the first to express their opinions excitedly upon hearing this, followed by her aunt who also said that Grandpa Zeng's name was well chosen.
"Girl Jin, what do you think?" Grandpa Zeng saw that she was just smiling at the corners of her mouth, but did not express her own opinions or meaning, so Grandpa Zeng asked her.
Xiang Jin said, "I have no objection. I think it's good, but it doesn't necessarily have to include both of our names."
Grandpa Zeng was very satisfied with the name he chose, "I think this name is quite good."
Xiang Jin's aunt looked at Xiang Jin with excitement and nodded fiercely and said, "I also think this name is very good, very appropriate, and also very suitable."
Xiang Jin said, "Okay, then it's up to you! Oh, by the way, how are the roads there? Are they accessible? By then we will be able to grow fruits and vegetables here, but it won't be possible to transport them because the roads are impassable."
It would be difficult to handle.”
Grandpa Zeng said, "Oh, this doesn't mean anything. It used to be an abandoned village with a dirt road, but then people moved away. It became abandoned and some weeds grew in some places.
, when the time comes we can shovel it all at once, and it won’t cost anything.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's good! Then there'll be nothing wrong."
After the matter was settled, Xiang Jin took the milk cup to the kitchen to clean it and then came out and said, "Grandpa Zeng, have you been home since you came back?"
Grandpa Zeng said, "Not yet, your matter is very important, so I thought of settling your matter first."
Xiang Jin suddenly felt moved in his heart, and then said, "Uncle Minghan and Aunt Xiao have gone back. Can Grandma Mo be busy at home alone?"
Previously, I asked Uncle Tao to transfer two people from the provincial capital, but since Yan Chen, his uncle and aunts were still at home at that time, they declined and said no, they could help Grandma Mo at home.
Originally, their vacation was not going to end so soon, but due to work reasons, Yan Chen's uncle was called by his employer. In the end, Yan Chen and his uncle had no choice but to pack their bags and go back.
Originally, Yan Chen's uncle and his aunt discussed that when Yan Chen's uncle went back and her aunt's time hadn't come yet, she could stay and help Grandma Mo for a few days, but Grandma Mo refused and asked his aunt to follow his uncle.
Let's go together.
In this way, it would be easier and safer for the two of them to switch cars on the road, and the other would be to go back together to save her aunt the inconvenience of driving back.
Third, the two of them can spend more time together when they go back together. Otherwise, Yan Chen and her aunt will also be busy by then, and the two of them will be separated from each other for a long time without seeing each other. In the end, the two of them could not be stubborn and had to stay together.
leave.
Grandpa Zeng nodded, "I'm so busy here. I asked your Aunt Liao to hire a few people from her natal family to help us collect vegetables. Recently, they help us pick vegetables during the day and stay at your Aunt Liao's house at night."
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's good, that's good, I'm afraid Grandma Mo won't be able to do it at home alone."
Grandpa Zeng said, "If you are too busy, Grandma Mo will find a way. You don't have to worry about this!"
Because they had something to do, Grandpa Zeng and her aunt didn't stay too long after lunch. They put down their dishes and rested for about ten minutes before they stood up and left. Xiang Jin and her grandparents also
There was no attempt to persuade him to stay, and then Xiang Jin said that he would go with them to the canteen down below to call Yan Chen and tell him about this.
The two agreed and followed the three of them downstairs.
Two days later, Xiang Jin, her aunt and Grandpa Zeng came to Xiang Jin to review the two drafted contracts and the budgeted results. After Xiang Jin reviewed the two contracts as quickly as possible, they determined that the terms of the contract were all right.
After finding it more suitable for both parties, he nodded, "Okay, let's sign the contract this way."
Her aunt then showed her the budget on the two pieces of paper. After Xiang Jin quickly scanned a few lines at a glance, she immediately said to her aunt, "Have you opened the bank account I suggested you open last time?
?”
Her aunt nodded, "Okay, okay, it was opened yesterday."
Xiang Jin nodded and said, "Okay, grandpa, please go with Grandpa Zeng and the others to the bank counter after lunch to help me handle this matter."
"Oh, okay," her grandfather agreed.
Xiang Jin said, "Just transfer 300,000 to them first."
Several people were stunned, and Grandpa Zeng said, "Isn't three hundred thousand too much? Chen Chen still has to make arrangements."
Xiang Jin said, "I know, but it's not much. I have a rough budget. In addition to the rent required for contracting the land, there is also the money for cultivating the land, employees' wages, and the establishment of greenhouse vegetable fields."
, as well as the construction of houses, and finally, aunt, you should buy a pickup truck when the time comes, so that you can go anywhere conveniently, and you can carry people and pull things."
Her aunt was a little disapproving and said, "You haven't seen the benefits yet, so you invested so much. Do you have to think about it again?"
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry, aunt, as long as her seedlings can survive, the benefits will be seen sooner or later. You have to have confidence that sweet fruits can be grown in such a windy and sandy land in Northern Xinjiang."
, the climate environment in our place is much better than theirs, so we must be able to grow fruits."
Her aunt said, "The light is very strong, and the light shines on it for more than ten hours a day."
Xiang Jin said, "Isn't this our greenhouse? Don't worry, as long as we can grow it, the price will definitely be better than what they sell in Northern Xinjiang. Do you think we have any fresh fruits in this place?"
No, they are all seasonal fruits, and there are only a few of them. There are very few plums, pears, and peaches. Then there are oranges and mandarins in winter, and then there are grapefruits, just the ones you brought last time.
Red grapes are still imported products.
When our planting comes out, many people will rush to buy it! By then we will not only be able to sell directly to several surrounding counties and cities, but also directly to the provincial capital.
And the watermelon, which usually costs one yuan per catty, should weigh at least ten catties. The watermelon we grow in the provincial capital has never sold for less than two yuan per catty in winter.
Mulati said that one acre of their land can produce 5,000 to 8,000 jins of watermelon at a time, and melons can be grown in greenhouses three times a year. For the sake of conservative calculation, our watermelon output per acre of land is 5,000 jins. Then we
Three times an acre of land can produce 15,000 catties.
We will use 30 acres to grow grapes, 10 acres to grow greenhouse vegetables, 10 acres to grow cantaloupes, melons and the like, 8 acres to grow strawberries and other fruits, and 20 acres to grow grapes.
If we have enough land to grow watermelons, we can produce 300,000 kilograms of watermelons a year.
According to conservative calculations, if a pound of watermelon is sold to the fruit buyer for 80 cents, then our 30 pounds of watermelon can still be sold for 240,000 yuan.
I calculated this based on the price of summer melons. If it were winter melons, we would be able to sell a pound of melons for at least 1 yuan and 23 yuan, not counting the income from other greenhouse vegetables, fruits and other products.
So Auntie, you don’t have to worry, we can recover the cost within one year, and we will definitely make a profit.
It is convenient to go anywhere with a car. If you need to do something, you can just go and get it done quickly. But if you don’t have a car, if you want to do something, this is a problem.
You have to walk, you have to wait for the bus, and you might end up taking a taxi and making a long detour, which would waste too much time and reduce efficiency."
Originally, Grandpa Zeng had the same idea as her aunt, and did not agree with Xiang Jin buying a car before seeing any benefits. It would be too wasteful. However, after her analysis, he immediately changed his previous thoughts.
, so he agreed, "That's true! Okay, then I'll give Chen Chen a call then."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then said, "But the house will still have to be built more solidly by then. Some people may have to live in it for a long time. Also, the relationship with the employees
You can discuss the signing of the contract with Uncle Tao, he has experience in this area, and he also has relevant contract templates."
Grandpa Zeng said, "Uncle Tao gave it to us. He printed a large stack of them for us. I kept them at home. After he has finished talking with the employees, I will bring them directly to them when the time comes."
They just sign it.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay!"
Her aunt followed and said, "When the contract with the government is signed, will you and Xiaochen sign it yourself, or will your grandpa and I sign it on your behalf?"
Xiang Jin said, "I'm afraid you have to sign it on your behalf. We are still minors and cannot perform some contracts yet, but it doesn't matter. When the time comes, Yan Chen and I will ask Lawyer Qin to issue a copy to you."
As for the entrustment instructions, we entrust you to handle this matter for us."
Except for Grandpa Zeng, everyone present was surprised, especially his aunt, "You still have a lawyer?"
Xiang Jin said, "Of course, both of us are still minors. If we want to do business, we must entrust others. Then there must be a law firm to take charge of some of our cases. Otherwise, when the time comes
What should I do if I argue?”
Her aunt gave them a thumbs up and said, "You are so thoughtful. I have been working in the workplace for so many years and I have never asked you to consider the issue comprehensively."
If you believe it, just say, "You don't have that kind of legal awareness. We are different. We have regarded this legal awareness as very important from the beginning. As the social economy continues to develop and grow, people will pay more and more attention to the legal aspect in the future."
ideology, and will also rely heavily on legal means to protect our own interests.
So auntie, you should always remember to keep evidence for yourself in the future at work. For example, when you sign a supply and demand contract with someone, when you deliver goods to others, or when others deliver goods to us, you must keep receipts.
Especially for bills with the signature, seal or fingerprint of the other party, and when paying employees, they must also sign and fingerprint.
For example, if someone accepts our cash payment, the other party must give us a receipt with a signature and seal, or write a receipt in person. The receipt must also be signed and stamped, otherwise the other party will give it to us when the time comes.
What if we insist that we didn’t pay them?”
"Oh, okay, I remember!" Her aunt nodded after hearing this.
