Chapter 109 Nursery Exhibition

"why?"

Dong Rui pondered for a moment, then after a few seconds he said with a troubled expression: "Did you know that at the end of September, under the leadership of the government, Ningxi City will hold a week-long international nursery stock exhibition?"

Chen Mu nodded.

During this period, local TV stations in Qingzhou Province broadcast broadcasts every day, and you can often see messages about "spreading green culture and building a beautiful summer country" when you go out, "Planting trees is to plant wealth, and afforestation is to bring benefits", "Perform tree planting obligations in accordance with the law, Let’s work together to build a green home” and other titles about planting trees.

Under repeated bombings, even if he thought he didn't understand, it wouldn't work!
And I heard that the government has great expectations for this forestry exhibition and has extended the official opening time by one week, which usually only lasts three days.

Chen Mu told everything he knew.

Dong Rui nodded when he heard this and added: "This time the government seems to be expanding the scale and lowering the standards for participation in the exhibition. As long as it is a forestry company that can cultivate three kinds of saplings, and the number of saplings sold exceeds [-] trees, and there are no customer feedback and complaints, then it will be You can qualify to participate.”

……

Personal tree farm.

Lao Wang, the middle-aged man who came to see the seedlings last time, looked at the empty forest farm where he had just planted 5000 seabuckthorn saplings. He remembered the price increase of saplings that Dong Rui had just talked about, and couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and make a call.

"Hey, Lao Li, the sea buckthorn seedlings we bought last time, this time we can't even pay [-] cents per plant for the purchase price. Do you agree to the fact that they have to be raised to [-] cents?"

Lao Li on the other end of the phone was instructing his workers to plant the 5000 Elaeagnus jujube trees he just bought today into the ground. When he heard this, he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "What do you agree to? Agree, this is raising the price from the ground. I The most annoying thing is this kind of businessman."

Lao Wang inquired further: "Then you didn't agree?"

Lao Li changed his subject: "Of course not."

Lao Wang was speechless at this man who ignored others and continued to ask: "Do you agree or not?"

"agreed……"

After hearing this, the grumpy old Wang was not interested in what he had to say next and directly hung up the phone.

Lao Li curled his lips as he listened to the busy beep coming from the phone.

Of the 7000 saplings, the mortality rate was less than 99, a survival rate of almost [-]%. Such a good sapling cost only three cents per plant, and he still agreed even if it cost a few cents more.

Putting his phone back in his pocket, he looked at these sea buckthorns that had only been planted for about ten days and were already full of energy and green buds. He couldn't help but look at them again and again.

This seedling is so good!

No wonder that when I first visited, there was no greenhouse, no temperature control, and no shelter.Just raising seedlings on wasteland like that, without worrying about the seedlings being blown to death by the wind. After all, people have confidence in the quality of their own seedlings!
"Look, look at the seedlings here again, you can't stop looking at them, right?" Lao Li's wife looked at her man who was squatting on the ground again, looking at the sea buckthorn, and she couldn't help but get angry. He stepped forward and grabbed the tip of his ear.

"It's a waste of time to plant Elaeagnus elegans quickly. I don't know that the survival rate of the saplings is the highest within six hours after they sprout!" She said, wiping away tears.

Lao Li was silent in his heart. Looking at his wife's appearance, he reached out and patted her. "It's okay. Look, the seedlings are growing again. Take your time and everything will be fine."

Lao Li's name is Li Yunhai, and his name sounds pretty good. In the first half of his life, he had the same name. Everything went smoothly and he was very lucky. Until he was 40 years old, he lost money in whatever he did, and the capital he saved from his previous business was also lost. They all lost a lot.

Although Li Yunhai had been lucky for half his life, when he saw this situation, he immediately cut his losses and invested the rest of his money in Xia Guo's afforestation business.

At first, the location of the forest farm they chose was not here, but close to Ulan County of the Haixi Mongolian people. Unexpectedly, the country later implemented grassland rights confirmation. Although he received a large amount of compensation, he had to change places.

So this time, he took his wife back to their village, contracted [-] acres of land in the form of a cooperative at a low price, and planted most of it into Elaeagnus angustifolia. He has been planting it for more than two years, and it is time to harvest it this year. Even the fruit merchants signed the purchase contract in advance last autumn.

Everything is going smooth.

But the weather was unpredictable, and Li Yunhai never expected that in March, diseases, insect pests, and rust occurred in the Elaeagnus jujube forest in the forest farm. Most of them died and withered, and the remaining harvest was not very good, which is equivalent to two years. There is no profit at all. It can be said that we are back to before liberation.

So this time, Li Yunhai decided to start over. Remembering that Elaeagnus elegans had serious pest and disease problems and the cost of building a mixed forest was too high, he decided to convert the Elaeagnus elegans forest to sea buckthorn forest on a large scale.

When he reaches middle age, his problems become more and more difficult. His family members are trying to persuade him to think more about his children, but his wife still supports all the decisions he makes.

But privately, Lao Li's wife was very worried as she looked at the dwindling deposits in her bankbook.

This time she failed to control her emotions again.

"It will be fine. Sea buckthorn is not as susceptible to diseases and insect pests as Elaeagnus angustifolia. You see, these saplings are very energetic and will definitely survive."

His forest farm had lost a lot of money before, and almost all the saplings were wiped out. People in the village were talking behind his back, especially those who had seen him make a lot of money before. They were very jealous and gloated about his misfortune every day in the village.

He said that he was used to being a boss and could not be a worker, could not do the work, had high ambitions and was arrogant but was low-handed, and could not do anything well.In the past, it was because of good policies and good times that we made so much money.Now that the good luck is gone, not to mention that I can no longer make any money, I still have to contract wasteland to plant trees. If I fail, I will not stop in time. I will have to destroy the whole family. If I don't stop, sooner or later I will lose everything. The house has to be mortgaged.

Therefore, Li Yunhai has been holding back a feeling of anger in his heart. He gritted his teeth and fought hard. He must keep working hard and make a name for himself so that the people in the village will look up to him.

"Are these saplings really as good as you said?" Lao Li's wife couldn't believe it.

She also knew that her man had failed again, so she quit her job and came with him to plant trees, but they didn't plant for long, so she really couldn't tell the quality of the tree.

Lao Li's wife frowned and continued to ask: "Also, didn't you say we won't grow Elaeagnus elegans anymore? Why do you still buy so many?"

Lao Li smiled mysteriously, led the people to the seabuckthorn forest, picked up a shovel and started digging.

After a few twists, the seabuckthorn saplings had taken root nearly one meter long and were thick and prosperous. The thick roots and branches of the seabuckthorn trees were very exposed. These roots and branches tightly grasped the soil and worked hard to absorb nutrients.

"This sapling is like..." Old Li's wife covered her mouth in surprise.

Lao Li smiled proudly: "Now you know why I signed a wraparound agreement with his family and ordered 5000 Elaeagnus angustifolia plants!"
