Chapter 1111 Intercropping of Kiwifruit and Chili Peppers! Investment Confirmed!

Because of prior communication and reminders, the reception in the county town was relatively simple.

Knowing that Su Yang disliked baijiu (Chinese liquor) and even more so his employees drinking alcohol, the only drinks served at the table were wine and beer from Chizhu. After lunch, the group discreetly went to Su Yang's hometown for an inspection.

We toured the town, and in the afternoon, we held a meeting there, drinking tea and discussing various topics.

"President Su, you can grow chili peppers in your county!" Professor Xu from the agricultural university said earnestly. "In terms of making money, chili peppers are indeed not as profitable as kiwifruit, but chili peppers have their own advantages, such as being easier to manage and not as delicate as kiwifruit... and requiring less investment and yielding faster returns!"

In recent years, as Suyang has begun to focus on research and development, the agricultural university has established closer ties with Jiuxiang Food and Fengyuan Ingredients, and the two companies have cooperated extensively.

Upon learning that Su Yang wanted to invest in his hometown, the agricultural university sent Professor Xu, who was familiar with agricultural planting in the area, to the region.

"Ok!"

Su Yang nodded.

"The price of kiwifruit isn't high anymore!" a county leader said helplessly. "We can't build our own brand, we have difficulty controlling the quality, and we're severely lacking in deep processing and sales channels!"

Professor Xu looked at Su Yang, knowing full well that Su Yang was extremely powerful in both food processing and sales channels!

"Are there any plots of land here suitable for chili pepper cultivation?" Su Yang asked after a moment's thought. "I did see a few plots that seemed appropriate, but many others are sparsely cultivated. I wonder if it's possible to lease them out..."

The town mayor quickly said, "Mr. Su definitely wants to take over the land. Nowadays, young people would rather go to the city to deliver food than farm. Farming really doesn't bring in much profit."

"The land used for growing kiwifruit can also be utilized!" Professor Xu reminded her. "Kiwifruit can be planted with chili peppers. This is something that your province and Chongqing are promoting, and the results are quite good."

"That's even better!"

Su Yang's eyes lit up; he felt this idea was excellent!
After all, many people in the village who are good at farming are growing kiwifruit, including his family!
If this technology can be promoted effectively, it can also help them increase their income.

Kiwifruit is notoriously delicate, so farmers who can take good care of kiwifruit can definitely grow good chili peppers.

"Jiuxiang Foods can invest in and build a factory here for the deep processing of kiwifruit. They can do things like dried fruit and winemaking, which is a good way to make use of the small fruits that farmers can't sell!" Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "If the chili pepper production base can be built, I can also invest in a chili sauce factory. However, it will definitely require the cooperation of the town and the village. The company can then make unified purchases and can also set up a separate project company, where the village collective and farmers can all take a share!"

“If General Manager Su has a brand and sales channels…” the county leader said earnestly, “the town and village will definitely cooperate!”

“Yes!” Su Yang nodded. “We’ll start slowly here, beginning with dried kiwi fruit and candied fruit… as well as a chili pepper production base. If the chili pepper supply is sufficient, Jiuxiang Foods can also build a factory here. If business is good, I can increase my investment; investing over 100 million yuan is definitely not a problem!”

The county leaders smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

Su Yang then looked at Professor Xu: "Professor Xu, is it possible to set up a production and research base for chili pepper cultivation here?"

Professor Xu nodded: "It should be fine. It would be best if the people from the county town came along too!"

The county leaders quickly replied, "Of course we support it!"

While the others rested at a hotel in the county town that day, Su Yang went back to his hometown!

Once he arrived at his familiar and welcoming old home, Su Yang completely relaxed.

Chen Li was watching TV with her parents in the living room, and the child was asleep beside her.

Now that he's reached the county seat and the town, he definitely needs to go home...

I definitely have to bring Chen Li and my eldest son with me when I go home, otherwise my mom will nag me to death.

Chen Li set off at almost the same time as Su Yang in the morning, but she took the child and went straight to Su Yang's house!

But then, Su Yang heard his parents mention his cousin, Wei Yang! "What happened to him?"

“Your cousin has been staying at home for two months!” His mother sighed as she said this. “Luckily, the supermarket is still making a decent profit, and there’s also the dividends from the hot pot restaurant…”

"How could a supermarket not make money?" Su Yang asked smugly, but then asked, "But doesn't he work for a construction company?"

His cousin managed to get a private junior college diploma back then, but because he studied architecture, he managed to benefit a little from the real estate boom.

With no help from his family, he bought a house in the county town and got married on his own, and even paid off the mortgage ahead of schedule. He is considered quite successful in the eyes of rural people!
“I heard from your aunt that their company hasn’t paid salaries for a while and there’s no new business, so it might be going to collapse… He’s even considering driving for Didi.”

"He didn't tell me..."

Su Yang sat on the sofa and found a comfortable spot.

"He's probably just a bit shy! After all, he's the older brother, it's normal for him to be a little embarrassed," Su Yang's mother said softly. "It's not suitable for a grown man like him to stay at home all the time..."

Su Yang understood his mother's thoughts.

"Your cousin is quite capable. I watched him grow up. He did pretty well in his company before. He's traveled to many places in China and has excellent interpersonal skills and social experience... He's particularly good at building good relationships with his superiors!"

Su Yang knew this; his cousin used to follow the construction company manager around, building connections... the kind who would lose money playing mahjong!
Don't ask Su Yang how he knew; his cousin told him when he was drinking with his father!

"Yes, yes!" Su Yang's father also rarely expressed his support, "Your cousin is pretty good."

Before Su Yang became successful, his relatives all thought his cousin was the most promising.

It refers to the kind of success that is traditionally recognized in rural areas.

They are good at handling people and have excellent interpersonal skills.

When Su Yang was in school, he looked down on these kinds of people and disliked this kind of social interaction...

However, since becoming a boss, I've realized that this type of person is absolutely indispensable.

"Shall I ask him?"

"Uh-huh!"

In front of his parents and Chen Li, Su Yang dialed his cousin's number.

"Su Yang, why are you calling me?"

"Surprised?"

"Kind of!"

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "Cousin, I'm planning to make some investments back in our hometown. I heard you're free recently, could you come and help me out?"

Wei Yang paused for a moment and then sighed, "Did your second aunt tell you?"

"Correct!"

Su Yang's mother sat down next to him, and his father also perked up his ears!

Su Yang continued, "The main reason is that I happen to be investing in the county town, possibly tens or hundreds of millions of yuan, and I don't have any trustworthy people around me to help me..."
