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

Stepping out of the Youguohui building, the late summer heat was still intense.

Jiang Lin stood on the steps and dialed a number directly: "Is this Manager Chen?"

"Thank you, Manager Chen, for the meticulously prepared information. We can now move on to the next step of our plan."

"Let's go to the site together the day after tomorrow. Manager Chen will bring your technical expertise to conduct an on-site survey and give me a detailed quote."

He hung up the phone, turned around, and saw Jiang Ye staring at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Don't you think I'm handsome?" Jiang Lin asked with a smile.

"You're so vain!" Jiang Ye lightly punched him, then whispered, "I just think you're amazing!"

"At school, your classmates are still scrambling for finals, playing games in their dorms, or figuring out where to go for summer vacation, while you..."

"We have already secured 100 million yuan in investment and have the initial form of a brand."

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "It's not just me who's good; we're all very good!"

"If it weren't for your support, I wouldn't have been able to run this fast, right?"

"See, you're the one who hired the truck, and you're the one who hired the warehouse."

"And the operation of the group."

"And let me tell you, you're going to be very busy from now on!"

Jiang Ye blinked: "Huh? Boss Jiang, are you assigning tasks?"

"Yes, the registration of the Qingshan brand operation company is about to begin."

"We should take advantage of the resources at the media school for free."

"Now, we need to focus on brand building: an official website, brand story, product manuals, and a traceability system—all of these require content."

As he spoke, he gave Jiang Ye a small suggestion: "I have a small idea. We can set aside a greenhouse in these 50 acres of strawberry fields and call it the 'Green Hills Witness Project.' The first group members who support us can adopt a strawberry seedling for free, and we can pack the strawberries that grow into custom gift boxes and give them to them."

Jiang Ye's eyes widened slightly. Sometimes, she really wanted to crack open Jiang Lin's head and see why he had so many brilliant ideas inside!

……

The watermelon market in Fuzhou is undergoing a quiet transformation.

In the past few days, the local stock of watermelons has been almost depleted, and the newly harvested watermelons generally don't taste very good.

The premium "Qingshan Watermelon" at Youguohui is becoming even more popular.

"Can't you deliver a little more each day?"

"Exactly! Even eating a watermelon requires fighting over it!"

The shop assistants smiled apologetically, but they were also helpless inside.

Fortunately, headquarters has given a unified response.

"The 'Green Mountain Watermelon' in our store is still from before the rain."

"This batch was prepared in advance, and proper storage is what ensured its current quality."

"The supplier of this 'Qingshan Watermelon' has extremely high requirements for quality control."

"They wouldn't pick a single one of the ones in the field that didn't meet the requirements."

"People are drawn to this quality. If 'Qingshan Watermelon' tasted the same as the watermelons currently on the market, people wouldn't be so supportive."

Not only in Rongcheng, but also in the local town of Dongfeng Village, watermelon prices have seen a significant improvement.

Goods that were originally hard to sell for 1.2 or 1.3 yuan have recently risen to 1.8 yuan, or even 2 yuan.

This is still the inventory from the previous batch.

As for those that have just come on the market, the vines look greenish-blue, and buying them depends on luck.

Many of them were opened on the spot, and the taste was very bland.

The fifty mu of jointly cultivated land in Dongfeng Village has become a hot commodity for nearby vendors these days.

There was no way around it; these fifty acres of watermelons looked different from those in the surrounding villages. They were all covered with straw, and the villagers were constantly turning over the watermelons in the fields.

Those watermelons looked shiny with oil on their rinds. They secretly tapped a few of them, and the sound was a crisp "thump, thump," unlike the watermelons from other villages, which sounded dull and muffled.

Knowing that the goods here were of high quality, everyone naturally flocked to Dongfeng Village.

Before dawn, Li Shujie was already wandering around the fields.

In the fields, the villagers were carrying out the final management before the crops were put to market, following the plan that Jiang Lin had previously given them.

They are now truly experiencing the benefits of "scientific management".

If this were in the past, their old methods would probably produce crops that are no different from those currently on the market.

But under the expert management plan provided by Jiang Lin, it was practically a miracle!

Even the seasoned veterans couldn't help but sigh, "Experts are still the most reliable."

A vendor on an electric scooter approached Li Shujie and said, "Secretary Li."

"Hey, Boss Wang, so early!" Li Shujie replied cheerfully.

When good things happen, people are in high spirits. Now, the old crops in the fields have seen hope and are behaving themselves, working hard so he doesn't have to worry about them much.

He was truly happy to see that the harvest would be ready in just two more days.

The 50-mu pilot project has been completed!

The vendor offered her a cigarette, but his eyes were fixed on the fields: "You guys manage your watermelons quite well, huh?"

As Li Shujie took the cigarette, a smile he couldn't hide spread across his face: "That's right, we're using scientific management methods, so it's definitely different from previous years."

"Yes, yes." Old Wang rubbed his hands together and lowered his voice, "How do you plan to sell these melons?"

"Look, how about we negotiate a price and pre-order about ten thousand catties?"

Li Shujie paused for a moment while holding the cigarette in his hand.

Hey, the vendors are starting to actively seek out pre-orders!

This has never happened before!

Let's not even talk about previous years. Just a week ago, everyone was arrogant and wanted to drive prices down to rock bottom.

Even if it's only five or six cents, you still have to be picky!

Now, it really does prove the saying that fortunes change!

Li Shujie honestly replied, "Well, a contract has been signed."

"They helped us solve our problems before the holiday and taught us how to manage, which is why we are where we are today."

Old Wang grinned; he had already found out the details of this story long ago.

However, contracts don't have much legal effect in rural areas.

If the farmer wants to sell, does the buyer really dare to demand compensation?

"You can't say that. When it comes to buying and selling, the highest bidder wins."

Old Wang leaned closer and held up a hand to Li Shujie, indicating, "We'll offer this price now!"

"We understand contracts. Once you've signed a contract with someone, you need to keep your word."

"But when it comes to things on the ground, who can say for sure? Insects eat it, rats bite it, and the weather also has an impact."

"Let's not talk too much. Give us ten thousand catties of land. It's such a big piece of land. Even if ten thousand catties are missing, even the gods won't notice!"

"Look how much we collected before, only 50 cents. Now, we can earn an extra 5000 dollars."

Li Shujie smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare sell!"

"You'll have to pay compensation!"

Seeing Li Shujie's smiling face, seemingly unmoved by reason, Old Wang's smile also faded.

He didn't stand on ceremony anymore and turned to leave.

"I don't believe you can control every family on such a large plot of land!"
