The Physician Tycoon

Each villager received 10,000 yuan and returned to the village in high spirits. They went straight to the melon fields and threw all the genetically modified watermelons into the river.

Ye Qingshan stood in Ye Kai's melon patch, looking around curiously.

The villagers gathered around, asking, "Ye Kai, what variety of watermelon do you grow?"

"All-natural."

"How many days does it take to mature?"

Ye Kai held up three fingers.

"Thirty days?"

"Three days."

Doubt appeared on everyone's faces.

"That can't be right, how could a completely natural watermelon ripen in three days?"

"I used a purely natural nutrient solution."

"You didn't use ripening agents, did you?"

"No, it's not. You can try eating one if you don't believe me."

Ye Erniang picked a watermelon and then took out a knife.

"Snap!" "Snap!"

Many pieces of watermelon were cut, and the villagers picked them up, put them in their mouths, and chewed, praising them highly.

"Hey, this is so sweet! It tastes even better than the watermelons in the market!"

"I've never eaten such delicious watermelon!"

"It really looks completely natural!"

He ate half a watermelon in one go, his belly bulging.

Ye Kai asked, "Did anyone experience any stomach discomfort after eating?"

Everyone shook their heads. "No!"

He patted his belly with a crooked mouth, making a loud thud, "Feels good, but I feel like I'm getting a sore throat!"

The villagers asked in bewilderment, "Eating watermelon is supposed to reduce internal heat, so how could it cause internal heat? Does it contain some kind of hormone?"

Ye Kai shook his head. "There are definitely no hormones. My watermelons have yin-nourishing and yang-strengthening effects. Women who eat them become more beautiful, and men who eat them become more virile!"

With a pained expression, he grimaced, "No wonder! I was wondering what happened. I can't take it anymore, I have to get to the hotel right away!"

Wai Zui hopped on his electric scooter and headed straight for Peach Blossom Town.

Everyone burst into laughter. "That crooked-mouthed guy must have gone to see a prostitute!"

"It seems this watermelon really works wonders, the effects are noticeable right away!"

The group surrounded Ye Kai, asking, "Ye Kai, can we grow this kind of watermelon too?"

"sure."

"Do we need to pay any fees?"

Ye Kai thought for a moment, "I will provide melon seedlings and nutrient solution. Based on two mu of land per household, each household will pay a franchise fee of 50,000 yuan per year."

Someone exclaimed, "Wow, that's such a high franchise fee!"

"Yes, I only sold a little over 30,000 yuan worth of watermelons last year. At this rate, wouldn't I lose 20,000 yuan a year?"

Ye Kai patiently explained, "I won't lose money. With these two acres of land, I can harvest at least 1,000 catties of watermelon a day. I can sell them to supermarkets for ten yuan a catty, and I can earn ten thousand yuan a day!"

You can calculate how much that adds up to in a year.

Everyone gasped in astonishment, "Over three million a year!"

"That's amazing! At this rate, we'll be millionaires in a year!"

Some people have raised concerns, asking, "Won't the watermelons stop growing in winter?"

Ye Kai nodded, surprised that the villagers had considered things quite comprehensively.

"You can use a greenhouse, but the watermelons grown there might not taste as good."

Okay, let's calculate based on six months. You could still sell over a million!

One family facing financial difficulties raised the question, "But my family can't come up with 50,000 yuan all at once!"

Ye Kai thought for a moment, "Anyone who wants to join can pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan first, and the remaining 40,000 yuan can be paid after making money."

Everyone exclaimed happily, "That's great! We'll pay right now!"

"Ye Kai, I want to join!"

"I'm joining too!"

Ye Kai raised his hands, "Everyone, please be quiet. This matter is handled by Sun Hongxia. Those who want to join should go to Sun Hongxia's house to pay the fee!"

"Let's go, to Sun Hongxia's house!"

"Let's go, collect the franchise fee!"

The group followed Ye Kai to Sun Hongxia's house.

Sun Hongxia was busy in the yard when she saw so many people rushing into her house, all holding money and vying to give it to her, and she was immediately stunned.

After Ye Kai explained, she finally understood that everyone wanted to join the watermelon-growing franchise.

Sun Hongxia happily found paper and pen, sat down at the dining table, and wrote a blank receipt for every 10,000 yuan received.

The villagers who paid the money and received the receipts were overjoyed, as if they could already see the day they would become millionaires.

Organized by Ye Qingshan and Ye Erniang, the villagers outside began to line up.

The line stretched from the main hall all the way to the main street, creating a truly spectacular scene.

Liu Yufen rushed over upon hearing the news, followed by Liu Meimei and Mary.

The two of them drank too much last night and stayed at Liu Yufen's house.

With the help of these three people, it was much faster, and we finished before noon.

Sun Hongxia tallied it up and found she had collected a full million!

She stuck out her tongue. "Wow, so many! There are still a hundred households in our village that haven't joined yet. If they all joined, that would be amazing."

Liu Yufen said, "And there's my hometown, Liubao Village. I can talk to them and get them to join too!"

Liu Meimei shook her head. "If there are too many franchisees, issuing IOUs won't work; it will seem unprofessional."

Ye Kai thought it made sense, so he asked, "Then what should we do?"

"We should set up a company and print some contracts so that all franchisees can sign a formal contract."

Everyone exclaimed, "Great idea!"

"Meimei always has a way!"

Liu Meimei said modestly, "I learned this from Guo Dafu. I saw him doing it this way."

"Starting a company must be very complicated. What are the procedures?"

"I don't really know either. I heard that the local business registration office in town can handle the paperwork."

Liu Yufen said anxiously, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now!"

"Don't rush, look, it's almost noon now. By the time you get there, they'll have already closed for the day."

"That's right, let's cook first, and then go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau after we eat."

Everyone pitched in and quickly cooked six dishes. Sun Hongxia brought out a jar of wine and poured a bowl of wine in front of everyone.

Just as everyone was drinking enthusiastically, Zhang Youbing came in from outside and stormed up to Sun Hongxia.
