Serenity watched her brothers-in-law bickering and felt envious. The brothers and uncles of the Yorkfamily were harmonious, unlike the Hunt family where everyone was trying to plot against another.
“Elisa, what did you say you wanted to invest in?”
Serenity remembered about the investment and asked Elisa about it while eating the barbecue seafoodplatter her man specially prepared for her.
Jasmine also pricked her ears to listen.
She also felt some pressure now because of Josh. When she saw how her best friend was trying sohard to improve herself in order to shorten the gap between Zachary and her, Jasmine did not want tostand idly by anymore.
“All the industries are saturated now, so it’s hard for us to compete with others. When I accompaniedyou back to your hometown yesterday, I saw the fields in your village were basically deserted.”
Serenity nodded. “Many of them are abandoned. The young people leave the village to work, so onlythe elderly and children are left at home. However, they can’t do any work, so the fields end up thatway”
Her family’s fields which she had seen from afar were also left aside.
Well, her relatives in the village were considered rich, so they could live a better life than everyone elsewithout needing to farm.novelbin
“I was thinking, how about we arrange for a person to rent all the barren fields there, and then plantgrass and vegetables? Of course, we don’t have to manage it ourselves. We’ll hire someone to take
care of it instead. I’m afraid your relatives will sabotage the fields if we show up
“If we succeed in planting them, we won’t have to worry about the market. Villa areas and urbangreening need grass, which is what we’ll be planting specifically. We can also plant vegetables andfruits.
“Stone Group and York Corporation have many hotels under their banner, and they need a largenumber of fruits and vegetables every day. Of course, our goal is to sell to other hotels. We’re not tryingto earn. money from our own families.
“School cafeterias, large factory canteens, and the likes also need a large number of fruits andvegetables every day. Although the competition in this field is also very fierce, I think we’ll have a slightadvantage over others.
I saw a lot of deserted fields along the road you took to your hometown. I believe the villagers will bemore than happy to rent the fields to us. Earning some income from the rent is better than leaving themuntouched.”
Serenity laughed. “I’m from the countryside, but I never thought of using the fields in the village to makemoney. You’re good at thinking outside the box, Elisa. There are too few people still farming in thevillage, mainly because the fields are scattered, and each family only has one or two acres of land.They only harvest just enough to feed their own families, so they can’t earn much money ”
Serenity thought Elisa would open a store selling luxury goods, start a beauty salon, or somethingalong those lines. She did not expect Elisa to aim at the barren fields in the countryside.
Elisa continued, I’ve made some calculations and think that this investment is profitable. We won’t gothat far We’ll just plant grass, fruits, and vegetables on the fields we contract in Wiltspoon’scountryside. so we’ll save a little on transportation costs. We won’t profit much if we ship betweenborders due to the larger costs
I don’t think it’s necessary to worry about marketing as long as our quality is good. If you think theprospects are good, we can start working. I’ll draft a plan and calculate the cost of the various aspectswe need to invest in. I’ll ask Clive’s secretary to handle the issue of renting the fields since no one inyour hometown knows him.”
Serenity said, “Go to the village chief. He will consult the opinions of the villagers and then sign thecontract.”
Elisa nodded.
Liberty interjected, “My breakfast diner also needs fruits and vegetables every day. If you guyssucceed, I’ll sign a long-term partnership with you.”
She had just started her own business, but she was ambitious and hoped to eventually open a largerestaurant. When her business grew, her supply of ingredients would increase as well.
Elisa smiled. “Thank you for your support, Liberty, but I prefer to earn other people’s money. Earningmoney from one’s own family is only something a person would do when they’re at the end of theirrope.”
If a person did business with their own family, they would be called heartless if the prices were high. Ifthe prices were low, they would end up losing money instead. Either way, it was a lose-lose situation.
