Pokémon development strategy

The Pokémon Resort is indeed a big project, even if it is placed on the largest Orange Island, they will take it very seriously.

"Good luck." Shen Qi responded to the greeting, "This time, everyone wants to help build the Seven Fruit Islands and make it a big project."

Nana was very grateful to Shen Qi and the teachers and students for their enthusiasm, "Let's take a rest first. According to the situation of the Seven Fruit Islands, it is very difficult."

It was really hard for the students of Elf High School to travel all the way. Nana and Xixia were embarrassed to talk about business with everyone, so they had to settle down for food, drink and accommodation first.

For this summer camp, Nana had an entire farm cleared out.

Similar to the situation on the 6th island, the Seven Fruit Islands originally had no shortage of places to live, but they just didn’t have as good hospitality conditions as in the city.

The elevated wooden building on the ground floor has a first-class moisture-proof effect. After moving in, the double-glazed windows are closed, leaving only a little sound of the sea breeze to accompany you to sleep.

Dinner is seafood hot pot with fruits and vegetables from Shichishima.

Only after eating it myself did I know that the terroir of the Seven Fruit Islands is indeed suitable for planting, especially orchards.

Ordinary fruits are crisp and delicious here.

"Miss Skirt."

Looking at Miss Quer who was biting the fruit, Shen Qi asked how she felt.

Many tree fruits have pharmaceutical-grade effects, which are of great benefit to trainers and Pokémon's practice. They can also be carried as battle props to relieve abnormal conditions and restore barrier points.

‘It’s very fragrant and delicious, but not as powerful as a prop’

Judging from the taste and flavor alone, the fruits from Fruit Seven Islands are indeed much better than those from Island 6.

The Four Seasons Deer have lived in Jiji Mountain for generations and have eaten various types of fruits. The quality of the fruits in the Seven Islands is frighteningly high.

"It is, after all, a special custom."

It is not without reason that the ancient Seven Fruit Islands were important grain and fruit-producing areas in the Orange Islands.

Just like the Seven Islands, many wild lands and barren mountains can be developed, and many islanders make a living by growing fruits. However, only the third island's fruit forest has gained a reputation, natural advantages and scientific management after operation. Indispensable.

I just want to expand the fruit forest industry, but... I haven't found a suitable place within the Seven Islands. Either the climate is not as good as the fruit forest, or it is in a deep mountain and old forest. Building an orchard requires paving roads and building bridges to get in, which is too expensive. .

The Seven Fruit Islands have a unique terroir, but what is far worse than the Fruit Forest is the terrain.

The total area of ​​​​the land is not bad, but it is divided into seven islands.

Such a split not only hindered transportation and development, but also caused severe salinization in the outer circle of the island due to the rise and fall of sea water, making it impossible to grow fruit trees and losing a lot of usable land.

As the times progressed, the disadvantages of the Seven Fruit Islands became more obvious. Gradually, the residents of the islands moved away to islands with better conditions.

Now, as the owner of the Seven Fruit Islands, Nana has only about twenty people under his command, and they are all relatives.

Chapter 925 Seven Fruit Islands

On the second day of the summer camp, Xixia led everyone to visit No. 1 of the Seven Fruit Islands, which is the orchard of the current island.

It is said to be an orchard, but it is actually a fruit forest that is not well managed in a standardized manner.

The yield of the fruit trees is okay and the quality is good, that’s all.

Then we went from the small ferry on Island 1 to Island 2. The usual boat capacity was insufficient, but fortunately there were Pokémon that could "fly" and "surf".

The fruit trees on Island No. 2 are similar to those on Island No. 1, but there are fewer on Island No. 3.

They are all in a very rough natural growth state, and the staff can only help with pruning.

It is true that the Seven Fruit Islands have too few manpower, and not everyone has Pokémon, so there is a shortage of labor.

The other four islands are all in pristine condition and undeveloped.

“It’s already very powerful.”

Nana introduced to Shen Qi that the annual net income of Fruit Seven Islands is around 2 million b.

Even if the 200 million yuan is divided among more than people, it is still much higher than the average income on the Seven Islands.

"Hey, it's just a matter of relying on the weather. It fluctuates a lot."

There are no disaster prevention projects in Guoqi Island, and the territory is scattered. If a major disaster occurs, it is normal for most of the annual income to be cut off.

If that doesn't work, go to the other four islands in a wild state to pick up some extra fruits that survived the disaster. The quality control is uneven, but you can sell them for more or less money.

"Students." Ji Xiang greeted, "Students who have ideas should discuss with the teacher to see what improvement plans there are for the orchards on Islands 1 to 3."

There must be ways to improve it, and Nana and Xixia should have thought about it to some extent, but they won't spend a lot of money to hire hundreds of workers.

Ji Xiang and Xiao Cui had a plan in mind. They brought students with certain skills as Pokémon workers in gardening and planting to carry out the transformation. They would get paid after achieving results.

Other students either find ways to work hard in other aspects, or... they just come here to relax, come in contact with wild Pokémon, and understand the attribute energy.

The staple food in the evening is white rice cooked in a firewood cauldron, and the elf rations are also heated on a fruit wood stove.

It's so fragrant that it can be eaten without fish or vegetables. It's so delicious that it's second only to watching Mr. Ji Xiang's battle.

"Master Nana Island." Shen Qi grabbed his job, "With all due respect, the products of Fruit Seven Islands really have fatal flaws."

"Please tell me." Nana's attitude was very candid, "Our orchard has many defects. I would like to hear which aspect Mr. Shen Qi is concerned about."

"It's still a quality issue."

The fruits of Qidao are delicious, but there are problems with yield and quality control.

There are also high-quality fruits in other places, which can be flown here.

As a result, Fruit Qidao can only compete with ordinary fruits in the low-end market.

Another problem is the berries. The berries from the Seven Fruit Islands are delicious, but they are not at the level of medicine or items, so they cannot be sold at a high price. Most of them are used to make Pokémon food or elf rations.

As for vegetables, wheat, etc., residents of the Seven Islands only grow the fruits for their own consumption, and the profit margin is too low.

The two main products are neither good enough nor good enough, which makes the income here unable to increase.

If there is a problem with revenue, it will be impossible to bring in more people and optimize the industry, and the products will remain stagnant.

"Yes…"

Shen Qi did talk about the pain points of the Seven Fruit Islands. Nana knew that the cost of the fruits on her territory was okay, but they were not very distinctive.

I can only say that the fruit is better than the cheap ordinary fruit, and I don’t dare to raise the price too high;

The same goes for tree fruits, which are also better and cannot raise the price.

There is no brand, no quality control, and no high-end products. Even if it is advertised on Little Sheep, it will not take off like the third island fruit forest.

"Has the owner of Nanai Island tried to replace the fruit seedlings with better varieties?"

"Not very good."

Nana has experience in selective breeding.

The terroir of the Seven Fruit Islands is too special, and other high-quality and high-yielding fruits are just like that, similar to the local fruits in the orchards now, or even worse.

The orange in the south and the tangerine in the north are not acclimatized to the soil and environment.

In fact, the same is true for the fruit forest. The newly established varieties are all locally bred varieties, and the exotic fruits and tree fruits have little performance in that good place.

So looking for better varieties from the Fruit Seven Islands range?

In the same tree, some plants are strong and some are weak.

"Mr. Shen Qi." Nana's eyes looked at the sea reflecting the stars under the night sky. "I believe that there are better varieties on the four unopened original islands of the Seven Fruit Islands, but... there is no way to breed them."

This is a highly technical and long-term job.

If you can't find a solution for a long time, it will just be like introducing a variety that is not acclimatized to the soil, wasting the existing labor force of the Seven Islands.

"That's it..."

Shen Qi actually had some thoughts in his mind.

The first game prop [Sprout] given by "Four Seasons God" is to identify the best among plants of the same kind.

It is perfect for selecting excellent tree fruit varieties.

Having said that, Shen Qi couldn't guarantee it.

The word selection and breeding includes two stages: "selection" and "cultivation". The first stage of selection is completed by [new shoots]. Later, you still have to try to cultivate it until the fruit is mature, then promote it after seeing the finished product, and then replace it. Original fruit trees in poor condition.

"Master Nana, don't you have any other resources? For example, phosphate rock."

Shen Qi thought about the world before time travel. There was a country called "Nauru" in South America, a very small island country.

Nauru's prosperity comes from guano.

Seabirds with no place to land in the ocean rested on Nauru. Over countless years, they accumulated a large amount of guano, which is more than ten or even tens of meters deep, forming rich phosphate deposits.

If Guoqi Island has huge phosphate resources, it can take off in a short time.

"Unfortunately, no." Nana shook her head.

Seabird droppings are not as exaggerated as Nauru. After all, other islands in the Orange Islands can also allow seabirds to rest and forage. They are not the only choice in the vast sea.

There is some phosphate rock in the Seven Fruit Islands, but not much. It is difficult to start and there is not much profit.

The most critical thing is...the ecosystem will be damaged on a catastrophic level.

Nauru thrived on guano phosphate mines and also declined there.

By the time the phosphate mine is finished, the entire island will be riddled with holes.

Once the island's ecology is destroyed, it will take decades to recover, let alone its "fruit" reputation.

Therefore, Nana has no idea of ​​touching the phosphate rock at all. The most valuable thing about the Seven Fruit Islands is the terroir and fertile land.

"Yes. Tomorrow I want to visit the four unopened islands."

"You're welcome, feel free."

"If there is a suitable island, and I have found a suitable tree species..." Shen Qi asked tentatively, "Can I rent an underground area to use as an experimental field?"

Nana didn't expect anyone to be willing to rent an unopened island.

This is just like telling the officials of the 6th Island that they want to rent a land to grow fruits in the ruins valley, but the officials don't know how to price it.

"Mr. Shen Qi, you can use this place as you wish."

Nana thought for a while and said, "If we really find out, and good tree species can be expanded to the entire island in the future, I still won't charge any rent."

Chapter 926 Island Guardian

Nana's ideas are very clear.

If Shen Qi comes up with better tree fruit varieties, as long as he is willing to share some with Nana, there will be endless benefits to the Seven Fruit Islands;

If Shen Qi has no results, he will only occupy part of the deserted island, and Nana will not suffer any loss.

The next day, Ji Xiang and Xiao Cui took some student teams to different parks, while Shen Qi flew to an undeveloped island.

Islands 4, 5, 6, and 7 are all in their original form.

Viewed from the sky, except for the difference in shape and size, the rest are similar.

Almost the same deserted beach and almost the same vegetation.

Shen Qi landed on Island No. 4. There was no alarming smell of bird droppings, and the plants were growing well.

Summon Miss Skirt and Four Seasons Deer to judge the sudden and natural atmosphere on the island.

Especially four-season deer, they need to become more familiar with the perception of natural energy points.

After picking a fruit, Miss Quer'er judged that it was not poisonous, Shen Qi washed it with drinking water in the bottle and took a bite.

It’s spicy and astringent…

No matter how good the terroir of the Seven Islands is, it is impossible to grow delicious fruits casually, otherwise the islanders would just make money lying around.

Taking out the game prop [Sprouting], Shen Qi began to try to use it.

When setting up an experimental field, of course we hope to cultivate high-end, high-yielding fruits, but no one can tell which suitable plants will be found on the island.

Injecting mental power, he aimed the [Sprout] at a tree with almond-sized, peach-shaped fruit, and confirmed the situation of the same kind of fruit trees in the entire forest.

[Sprouts] Trembling, no follow-up text prompts.

This shows that this fruit tree has no bright spots compared to other fruit trees within the detection range.

Holding [Sprout] in hand, I walked deeper into the forest. I passed two fruit trees of the same kind in succession, and finally there was a text prompt.
