You've been reborn and you're going to go farm?

Clutching the money they had just received, the villagers walked out of the courtyard in twos and threes.

"Incredible! The Jiang family has produced such a capable person!"

"This is only the first batch of watermelons, and my family has already made almost four thousand yuan! Jiang Lin is really capable!"

"He's not just capable, he cares about everyone! Oh dear, if it weren't for his help this time, my husband would probably have to go out to work next month."

"Exactly!"

"What's that old saying... 'A twist of fate'!"

"Lucky Star!"

As the crowd dispersed and the courtyard quieted down, someone said, "Jiang Lin, you should go back and rest. I'll watch the fields."

He patted the documents in his hand. "The plan is so detailed, down to what to do every day. If you can't even handle this, then there's no way to succeed, you deserve to be poor!"

He said with considerable emotion, "This time, it all depends on you!"

"If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have the face to face the men, young and old!"

"I was worried about this for the past few days, and I couldn't sleep at all!"

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Secretary, you're too kind. We're all from the same village, so we'll help each other out if we can."

"Besides, I'm also making money for myself. We're all in this together; no one can leave the other."

Secretary Li nodded, wisely refraining from asking Jiang Lin what price he sold it for or how much profit he made.

That's someone else's skill and method.

A purchase price of one yuan per kilogram is an astronomical price in a village like theirs!

He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Jiang Lin, have you thought about what we could do next season?"

"Now that you have access to the channels, if you can plan ahead, the village will follow your lead, and then the other lands can be combined."

Do you think this will work?

Jiang Lin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well, I've actually thought about it."

"I plan to grow strawberries. I have already registered the trademark 'Qingshan'. Watermelons are a seasonal product. To establish the 'Qingshan' brand, we need something that can support and complement it."

"Strawberries have high added value, so they are a good choice."

"I also consulted with teachers at the Agricultural University, and they said they could get seedlings and some technical support."

"That's right, there's a problem with money. At most, we can only get the 10 or so acres of land that Lin Tao and his family own to set up a small demonstration site."

Jiang Lin spoke frankly, "I inquired around, and if we really want to scale it up and install standardized greenhouses on all 50 mu of land, the initial investment alone would be this much..."

He held up one finger.

"One...one million!" Li Shujie frowned slightly and clicked his tongue. In the countryside, this was an astronomical figure.

But, you know, when it comes to this kid...

If it could really be sold like watermelons, then standardized greenhouses could be reused.

Can I earn it back in one or two years?

He pondered for a while, then said frankly, "Jiang Lin, to be honest, you might not like to hear it, but think about it."

"You helped everyone sell their watermelons at a high price this time, and you also helped them weather the natural disaster. Now you can say that you have established your authority in the village."

"It's rare to have everyone united on this issue; I think this is a great opportunity!"

"If it's just about 10 mu (0.67 hectares) of land, some families will be happy while others will be sad, and everyone else will be watching with envy. People's hearts will probably not be united."

"After all, people are afraid of comparison."

"Once this momentum dissipates, it will be incredibly difficult to consolidate land and standardize standards in the future!"

Li Shujie's voice grew increasingly earnest: "So, my idea is, either we stop for now and think of other ways, or..."

"If you're really confident, then strike while the iron is hot and take all 50 acres in one go."

"You promised me so many things before, I remember them all."

He paused, then lowered his voice: "Of course, a million is indeed difficult, but it's not entirely impossible."

"The town now offers special subsidies for high-standard farmland and facility agriculture, so we should be able to secure a significant portion of that support for building greenhouses!"

"Land costs and labor costs are all negotiable, and can be deducted from future profit sharing!"

Secretary Li was determined to cling to Jiang Lin, whose influence was growing stronger, and he didn't want to give up any hope that might bring the whole village a turnaround!

Jiang Lin nodded. He certainly knew the importance of "momentum" and was even more aware of what 50 acres of standardized greenhouses meant for the "Qingshan" brand!

He pondered for a long time before speaking, "The secretary is right. The scale effect and brand value of 50 mu are indeed incomparable to 10 mu."

"That's precisely why we need to be even more cautious."

"I'll think about it some more."

"Secretary, could you please look into the policies first? That way I'll have a better understanding of the situation."

"Alright!" Li Shujie patted him heavily on the shoulder, a smile spreading across his face. "You think it over carefully. I'll do my best to get things on the policy front!"

At the Communication University of China, orders for sliced ​​watermelons are booming.

Some people were still eating in the cafeteria when a delivery order that was supposed to be sent to their dorm room was delivered to the cafeteria after a phone call.

After finishing their meal, the students enjoyed two slices of chilled watermelon – it was incredibly refreshing!

"Wow, that watermelon guy is really thoughtful!"

"Burp... That feels so good!"

Because the delivery was based on pre-orders, unlike the food delivery services of later generations which have time requirements, the entire delivery process was orderly.

Jiang Ye and Su Xiao carried several large bags to the small storeroom, which contained newly purchased arm sleeves, sun hats, and Huoxiang Zhengqi Water (a traditional Chinese medicine for heatstroke).

"Come on, all you delivery staff, come over here, put on your hats and arm sleeves, and protect yourselves from the sun."

"Take some Huoxiang Zhengqi Water with you too. Drink it as soon as you feel unwell, and rest for a while after you finish your trip."

"Your health comes first; never push yourself too hard."

"Okay, thank you, boss lady!" Everyone responded with smiles, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Chen Feng walked over with the returned order receipt in his hand: "Senior, there's something I need to ask you about."

"Forget about asking for permission, just say it." Jiang Ye took the receipt.

"That's right, we had several orders delivered, but no one answered when we went to deliver them. We even called an elderly person who had no idea about buying watermelons."

"I suspect... it might be a prank."

With offline payments and the company's business growing, such problems are inevitable.

Jiang Ye asked, "According to the procedure Jiang Lin set up beforehand, how is this situation usually handled?"

Chen Feng replied, "The procedure says to mark it and send it again when the other party contacts us."

Jiang Ye nodded. "The process is fine, but we can be more proactive and provide a better experience."

She offered a solution: "Here's what you do: manually mark these orders first. Consider the pre-cut fruit as our own perk, but you must keep the order numbers."

"Then, we proactively send these users a text message explaining the situation and asking them to confirm the information. If they reply, we prioritize restocking and delivering the goods."

"Summarize these types of cases, and in the future, for all orders with vague addresses or located outside the school, add a mandatory phone confirmation step before delivery. This will reduce wasted trips and improve the customer experience."

"Okay, senior!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Ye quickly issued a unified announcement in several groups:

"Dear students, due to the hot weather today, please make sure someone is available to receive your order before placing it. If you are unable to receive your order due to special circumstances, please contact us in advance."

"If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the group administrator or call customer service."

After the announcement was released, the group was filled with understanding and responses of appreciation for the hard work.

Su Xiao, standing nearby, casually broke open a box of fruit slices marked "abnormal" and took a bite. Her eyes crinkled into a smile.

"Wow, I have to say... this perk is really sweet!"
